Iris panted as she reset her stance, bringing up her hands into loose fists in front of her as she squared off again against Cerise. Why did she agree to learn how to defend herself like this? Hand to hand combat of all things. Cerise really wanted to kick her ass today, didn’t she? Cerise came over, smiling, though Iris could see the frustration starting to show in the woman’s bright teal eyes. Her fluffy tail twitched and swished behind her, and Iris felt ...

Omega stared at her smartphone, her chest tightening like a coil of steel cables. She swallowed, trying to return any form of moisture to her mouth that she could. How the frick did she even read this kind of map? Her phone, which definitely needed an update, had lost signal thanks to the high charge of electricity that abounded in Thunderdale. It was almost like static electricity constantly prickling at her skin, especially near the surface or near the exits t...

Kina stood on the balcony to her and her twin’s apartment, overlooking the lower portions of Ethermoor, bathed in the orange and red glow from the setting sun. In the distance, the fog threatened to engulf their little city, but all the beacons blazed strong throughout Ethermoor’s streets, or would be soon enough. The sun continued its trek down the horizon and Kina turned her attention back to the telescope she was setting up. A friend had randomly gifted i...

Phoenix felt the tense ball of anxiety roil in his stomach as he watched the update program slowly progress. One of the programs he used for his game development had a massive update he was installing now, and he was nervous on how much he’d have to relearn or just entirely learn anew. The bar quickly shot ahead once the biggest parts of the update installed, and Phoenix fidgeted, his forked tail lashing back and forth behind him for a moment. This was not how...

Pesky looked up, eyeing the large man who stood in the middle of the park. He was shaking. Even Frida, who stood back beside Pesky to let her trainer do what he wanted to do, looked surprisingly insecure about the current happenings. “You know you do not have to prove anything, yes?”, Pesky called over, making Kurai look up with a little grunt. “I have everything to prove!”, the fused trainer then called, maki...

It had been a long time since Kite had been alone, by himself, in his house. He had roomied up with Cica so long ago and ever since then the persian man had become a presence that Kite hadn't realized he needed so badly. Sure, he didn't truly live alone. The back of his home was to the sea where Bubbles and his other companions played in a pinned in section in the water, and Woggle, Wiggly and his other wigletts stared from their specialized aquarium in his home, bu...

Claws clicked on the tiled flooring of his home, curled tail beginning to wag back and forth furiously as he looked around the house. Aeson was still asleep, which left Knight awake with the two other pokemon, and all of them to their own devices. While Lil King seemed to be distracted with the orb that he held and could move around at will, it seemed Queen was playing with a large ball that their trainer had gotten for them for entertainment. Knight remembered ...

Aeson has kept himself busy the few days that he could afford to, when he wasn’t sleeping or eating he was out moving, doing something to keep himself active and in shape. And while this was a good thing for the male, his pokemon could see the wear and tear that it was having on his body instead, he looked tired all of the time. his movements were sluggish and he fell asleep faster than he usually would.  Knight had conversed with Lil King and with Queen on things they could do to h...

With the way the battle was looking, Aeson was quite aware of some of the damages their battles had unfortunately caused, and while the Grovehart police were somewhat kind enough to try and cover some of the things, Aeson felt in his heart that what they did wasn’t right. They should have moved the battle away from citizens, they should have played smarter and been a bit more tactical than they had been. He looked over his pokeballs where his pokemon sat, and ...

“Okay, so there’s some rather detailed instructions here,” Kohaku mumbled to himself as he looked over the digitized instructions that had been sent to him. He was dealing with a pokemon he hadn’t met or seen very often, the little creature’s name was Chomper, and he was warned that it likes to bite. That shouldn’t be too hard to deal with, he had spent some of his money and got some chew toys for the deino. He had done some prior research about the ...

Distant chatter, small aisles stocked with flour, sugar and much more.Behind her the screeching of small shopping cart isles and a slight crunch as Fiona pushed the cart towards where Anya was standing. Small indents starting to show where Fiona’s Jaws had grabbed onto the cart.Before her Chocolate ...

The soft afternoon sun shone onto the thin blanket spread over Anya’s body. It’s rays were slowly warming up the tall woman and making the sofa an even more comfortable place than it would have been without. Pillows spread across it for Anya to rest her head on. Only a slight sprinkling sound, like a leaking tap, stirred the trainer from her after work nap. She slowly o...
