Awakening

Word Count:  545 It was always impressive to John to know just how considerate of others Jack was. He looked scary on the outside, a lot like a jack-o-lantern and with the flames falling from their chin they really did spook a lot of people- but he was so sweet and he listened so well to commands. A lot of Pokémon if they were told to lead the way somewhere might just go through what would be the safest for them- a water Pokémon might go through the ri...

John couldn't stay out in the smoke filled landscape for very long. He was starting to get older, his life had been filled with stress and danger that his heart and lungs couldn't always hold up well. He was prone to small coughing fits even when he was only out there for around ten minutes so it was safe to say this was not great for him. Especially not when what he was breathing in was something like smoke from fires that had all started extremely unnaturally. No, this was not well suited...

Word Count: 530 Everything had gone to shit. John could barely believe just what has happened, one minute he was sitting at home content with the love of his life, and the next the news was filled with reports of things all just going straight down to hell. As much as he wanted to just stay at home with his husbands the reports and pictures had just bore into his mind and his soul until he couldn't ignore it for even a second longer. "Lassy!" He called out to his pokemon, the large p...

Word Count: 525 Befriend the kid, befriend the father- Befriend the kid, befriend the father! He didn't want to befriend the kid. This kid was so problematic and troublesome, more times than not he just got himself in trouble and Lanca would have to go save his ass instead of being able to do what their initial goal was. If they weren't Noir's kid then more likely than not he would have gone off and let them go die in the fires but that just wasn't an option for the ...

It was the third day that Angelo and his Pokemon had swept around the outskirts of Brookfell, and they all were exhausted. They weren’t the strongest, but they could at least keep some of the Drifwick fusions occupied while stronger teams got to more important tasks. Gummy trotted beside him, on alert as much as his trainer. Fire crackled deep in the crevices that Groudon had split open when he emerged, as well as along the horizon and around them. It was unne...

This seemed to be the last mission Vasuki would do for the time being, he needed a break from running around and fighting. He didn't have a lot of experience in fighting, only training with himself for the most part, but he wanted to learn to get better! But even that was about to change, as he approached his destination, a sound caught his attention, turning to look at the noise, he felt a drop of sweat as his heart ...

It seemed that during the fire, as the group was packing up to go home, there were some cries from inside the forest that sounded like little Pokemon calling for help. Vasuki looked in that direction for a moment, a bit stunned - he was sure they had gotten everyone and everything out of there, right? Tiamat tilted her head, moving her long, angel-like ears to listen better, and the cry came back louder and clearer th...

The roaring flames made hearing the voices shouting between firefighters difficult to catch. Not that the shouting would have helped much. The wall of fire kept reaching skyward. Hungrily consuming the vegetation and debris caught in its path. Instead of pushing the wildfire back, the team had been pushed back, yard by yard. "Where is our backup?!" Trixie yells, taking advantage of a lull in her section of the firewall. "Radio Reports say they got held up about 30 minutes down the road...

The call to help came bright and early for Vasuki and his Pokémon; normally, he would have wanted them to come with him, but he insisted that they stay at home. However, none of them listened to him and followed him out of the house, quickly grabbing their Pokéballs as soon as they were close enough to touch them, hanging from Vasuki's belt loop. He had heard only a little of the distress signal, and his heart was racing. He wanted to get there as soon as poss...

  Vasuki huffed as he walked, Haietlik wrapped around his neck and Invidia slithering at his side, he looked over at his other companions who were at his heels, Tiamat floating in the air.  "I know," he began as they all looked at him, their heads bowed almost in unison. "But I feel like if we don't do something to help, it would show that I'm not a very good trainer, would it?"  ...

Cerise wiped at her brow as she looked around, taking everything in that she could. Fire, ruins, rubble. Screams and cries for help. It tore at her heart, breaking something deep down into a million pieces. Her partners were elsewhere, helping, and she glanced down at the remains of a house she and her Pokemon were working on. A Pokemon was trapped inside, and she was sure she’d heard a kid in there too, but it’d been a while since she’d heard anything rem...
