Ch 96 - Whirlwind

The training session the next morning was short. Venonat and Cloudburst were both fully healed, and it was time for more realistic battles. Only ‘more’ realistic because there were three days l...

Ch 95 - Inevitable

The next morning they focused on Moves again. Poison Powder and Supersonic for Venonat, switching as he exhausted one type of energy or the other. When Cloudburst woke, ...

Arc 4 Faction Voting

I am looking for two factions for the start of the next arc. Keep in mind that Arc 4 is still several chapters away, and character introductions will depending on plot as well.

I belie...

Ch 94 - Strive

“Ow.”

Jenny held a hand in front of her mouth, clearly shocked or concerned–

She coughed once, then completely failed to hold back her giggles.

David looked at her, puzzled ...

Ch 93 - Reflection

The meditation session did not go as planned.

Instead of being led through chants while some soothing music played in the background, David was instructed to sit, close his eyes and think. Th...

Ch 92 - Payback

David ran. He ran and shouted, and ran some more. Occasionally, Venonat and he would manage to pull off a maneuver and buy themselves some precious rest while Jenny and Venomoth adjusted. Venomoth ...

Ch 91 - The Dose makes the Poison

It was dark. Navigating by the moon dark. Fuchsia wasn’t awake yet, and only the occasional shadowed figure slipping through the streets gave any impression of the city being alive at all.

...

Ch 90 - A Deal with the..

Once more, David was left alone with one of the most powerful people in Kanto.

It felt like there should be more gravitas to the situation. He was reeling - both from being face to face with ...

Ch 89 - Long overdue

It was Koga, gym leader of Fuchsia.

The gym leader of Fuchsia, the head of the junta that controlled the city, the face of the sovereign, the power of the peninsula. He was an unassuming man,...

Ch 88 - Principle

Getting to the Fuchsia gym was a challenge.

Unlike in Celadon or Saffron, the signposts for the gym were not laid out in an array, all pointing inwards towards the gym, but a line. Small pink...

Ch 87 - Support

“Are you sure you’re ready?”

David couldn’t hold back his grimace, or the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes. Louis looked away, turning his focus back to the climbing equipment he wa...

Ch 86 - Battle scars

“Looking for a battle against zero badge, one Pokemon,” David shouted, diving into the crowd.

Several confused faces, some of which had been bobbing their way through the crowd towards hi...

Ch 85 - The Safari Zone

The path to the Safari Zone was nothing like the rest of Fuchsia. For one it was cobbled, rough bumpy stone instead of smooth tarmac. That was the least of the changes.

Tightly packed houses ...

Ch 84 - Recoil

“Bug Bite.”

It started with a flicker. Small sparks followed. They illuminated even smaller circles before disappearing. Each gave a tiny glimpse of color, the packed dirt displayed throu...

Ch 82 - Persona Two

“You sure this is okay?”

Louis shrugged. “I have to test them either today or tomorrow. Teaching you and getting your help is just lucky timing.”

“And the trees?” David aske...

Ch 82 - Change of clothes

Fuchsia was not a fun place to be early in the morning.

Locals swarmed through the thin streets, rushing forward towards head-on collisions only to sidestep their neighbour at the last moment...

Ch 80 - Nope

Cloudburst swooped, swinging back and forth through the air like a pendulum as she closed the gap. Mid turn, she banked suddenly, throwing her wings out wide in preparation for a-

“Nope!”...

Ch ?? - Gary the First

Gary was ready.

He’d prepared everything he could possibly need. Two changes of clothes, four sets of underwear, a towel and one extra pair of boots. Spare clothes were important, everyone ...

Ch 79 - Dissent

I’ve realised I nearly doubled up on names - (Elise in the market and Eloise, Dojo member and Fred’s mother) From here on, Elise in the Fuchsia market will be Marie. I’ve updated Ch 78.

Ch 78 - Weaving a Story

David had fucked up.

He had really fucked up and he didn’t even know how badly.

‘Venonat - Moths and Legends’ didn’t have any of the information on Moves, diet plans or training...

Ch 77 - Counter

Pidgey - Cloudburst stood on the packed dirt, facing off against... the Bug type. The purple bee without wings. His new Pokemon.

“I really need to find out its name,” David murmured as he...

Ch 76 - First night in Fuchsia

David stood still in the centre of the now deserted street.

A man with dark indigo hair staggered towards him. A Voyant. A Psychic.

The locals of Fuchsia gathered in the alleys, and at ...

Ch 75 - Colour

With a single step David crossed from marshland to city.

Ten steps later he passed the first alleyway, and as its traffic merged onto the main road behind him, all sight of the Route was bloc...

Ch 74 - Keeper

Cloudburst dived under the branches, her wings silent. She spiralled under the twisted white branches, avoiding the hanging vines as they swayed in her passage. As she passed the densest vegetation...

Ch 73 - Preference

“Crap.” David sighed, passing the offending material between his fingers once more.

In response to his outburst, Cloudburst let out a slow squawk. She continued to peck at her feathers up...

Ch 72 - Interloper

Once the convoy started moving again David was forced to admit that Gleem’s old pillow cushion was needed. Aaron’s wagon had nothing even remotely resembling suspension. Every hole and bump in ...

Ch 71 - Branding

David looked at the Tauros.

The Tauros looked at David.

Cloudburst stared at the Tauros.

The Tauros tossed its head and eyed her back.

The Pokemon’s eyes were oval-shaped ...

Ch 70 - Elephant

“Ah ah aah,” David hissed, slowly pulling his right shoe off.

Pidgey let out a light shrill, hopping closer. She twitched worriedly, and ducked her head close to get a look at his foot. 2023-12-20 10:11:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Ch 69 - Improvise

David packed up slowly the next morning.

He couldn’t quite decide if he preferred the smooth ground by the cliff edge as a campsite over the long grass in a wooded clearing. His feet and cl...

Ch 68 - Adapt

It was a windy day. Branches swayed. Leaves swished.

Down below in the forest, David felt very little of that. The occasional gust penetrated the weaved trunks to reach him, but at that point...
