Hard Enough - Chapter 268 - Brawly's back!

I finished my training bout against a trio of Guardian trainers and moved off to the side to rest for a spell.  I found Karen leaning agains

Hard Enough - Chapter 267 - Ghost story

“Where did you find it?” Oak asked excitedly as he dodged another strike from Agatha. 

“YOU! BLASTED! SINGLE! MINDED! FOOL!” Agatha growled as she drew her cane back for another ...

Artwork - Gary, Mia and Silly Mouse

Thanks go to Ryot_ryot for setting up this one! Also thanks to the patreons that spent some time spitballing ideas with me for what Mia would look like. I think we ended up with something really co...

Hard Enough - Chapter 266 - Old versus new

Yolanda gripped the edge of her seat. It was hard enough not shooting to her feet when Brock had taken down Agatha’s new pokemon and her Arbok. 

“I’m surprised she used a pokemon l...

Hard Enough - Chapter 265 - Lessons of age and cunning

Damn it, an Aegislash was a pokemon I didn’t have a lot of knowledge on. I had a few notes written down from my brainstorming session when I first came to this world but there was no way Agatha w...

Artwork - Assistant Coach Karen and Coach Brock

Thanks to Ryot_ryot I got a uniform and style set up for Karen and Brock for what they might have looked like when they were coaching little league baseball.

Hope you enjoy! I might suggest...

Hard Enough - Chapter 264 - Rodeo Round ups!

“Looking good,” I said as I adjusted my belt buckle and nodded at my reflection.  While my hair was the same as always, albeit cut into a ne

Hard Enough - Chapter 263 - Calm period

Who gifts baby pokemon to a grieving… my mind stalled for a moment before restarting back where I’d been moments ago.  What the hell Mewtwo?

Who gifts baby pokemon to a grieving… m...

Artwork - Long walks on the beach

One of Ryot_ryot's once more! I rather enjoyed this scene in the story and there was a few reuests for it so I got it drawn up! Hope you enjoy it! Also as always toss me any thoguths you have for o...

Hard Enough - Chapter 262 - New additions

The next morning started with my usual routine of waking up, dodging around Sabrina’s slumbering form, and exercising with my sister and both of our teams. 

While I ran, I toyed with s...

Hard Enough - Chapter 261 - Family connections

Forrest stood off to the side. Around him, our younger siblings had him encircled, but with how skilled he’d demonstrated himself to be with the bike, I knew he could bunny hop his way out should...

Red Riot - Chapter 26 - Red changes

I knew what I had to do. 

It wasn’t something I was going to take pleasure in. 

Well, actually, that was a lie. 

I’d take a bit of pleasure in what I had planne...

Hard Enough - Chapter 260 - Continuing Celebrations

The next day was chaotic, to say the least. 

With kids pretty much having the run of the entire hotel, I’d needed Sabrina on hand to scry for all the lost clothes, toys, and miscellane...

Hard Enough - Chapter 259 - Date night

Casual attire for a date wasn’t supposed to be something you overthought. 

But ever since my epiphany during our swim earlier, I’ve felt… a little unsure of myself with Sabrina.&nb...

Artwork - Brock and Titan, out for a light jog!

Another from Ryot_ryot! Just a fun little one of Brock and Titan exercising and enjoying each other's company. Don't read too much into the scale for heights! It's meant for fun, I swear!

As ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 258 - Enjoyable experiences

Swimming is a great activity if you have a young family as it usually results in extremely compliant children for the rest of the day. 

This usually leads to young kids who are much more...

Hard Enough - Chapter 257 - Relaxation time!

Sabrina poked me telekinetically. “That was very mean,” she said the moment Lance hung up. 

I chuckled. “Ah, I know, I just couldn’t help myself,” I said as I rubbed my hands t...

Artwork - Forrest and Steelix

While he might not currently have Steelix I decided it wasn't such a terrible idea to showcase Forrest and his future pokemon! Ryot_ryot did a great job, I feel!

As always, toss out some idea...

Hard Enough - Chapter 256 - The Hoenn Circuit

Celia Shardness felt her lips twitch into a smile. Today marked the third time she’d entered the Sootopolis Gym.

It also marked the third time she’d been forced to endure the prematch act...

Hard Enough - Chapter 255 - Put humpty together again?

A.J. knew that there were reasons that he shouldn’t rip Melvin’s rotten tongue out of his mouth to feed it to him. Beyond the mess it would make that was.

It was just, that it was really ...

Artwork - Red Riot - Matsu relaxing

I decided to reach out and have Ozlyk do artwork for Matsu in a more relaxed pose with his hair down instead of spiked up. I really like all the tiny details on his outfit and his pose.

Artwork - A.J. and Sandshrew

Decided to give some of the young men of Pewter a bit of attention, which is rather appropriate with the interlude I'm writing up!

Thanks go to Ryot_ryot for doing up this artwork.

Hard Enough - Chapter 254 - Golden week interludes - The Champ and the Runner up

Lance lay on his couch. 

He usually wouldn’t display such slovenly behaviour. Sloth, as much as pride could be a dragon’s worst vice. 

People often thought of Pride as 2024-09-03 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Hard Enough - Chapter 253 - After the show

“—and now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! The award ceremony!” The announcer grinned as the crowd around us went wild

I smiled to myself, knowing how these big events really ...

Author note delayed release

Bad news: My little girl has gotten a fever and hasn't been sleeping. I have the chapters written, but I can't spare time to edit and post them properly. Sorry, but there will be a delay this week...

Red Riot - Chapter 25 - Red statement

Character list:

Matsu - The MC, a Kiri Chunin, with Uzumaki traits.

Hard Enough - Chapter 252 - Decieving Darkness

The first step in my plan, now that Tide was on the field, was to once more do away with subtlety. 

I once more made sure to vocalise my command. 

After all, I wanted Karen to...

Hard Enough - Chapter 251 - Darkness rising!

For an instant, I was surprised at Crawdaunt’s appearance. 

Why hadn’t she used it earlier? Why bring it out now? Especially this close to Titan. 

Karen had to have seen t...

Artwork - The Rocket trio!

From Roroarts I had this fun little bit of art made up!
