Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

1: Home at Last
Lucas blinked and his vision changed entirely. Just a moment ago, he witnessed the defeat of a massive monster. A threat to the entire world. Lucas had sat down with a sigh, prepared to be whisked away to another world in need of saving. He'd gotten used to it. He'd been at it...
30: Gigantism
The next morning, before disappearing into the wilderness, Joe checked the news. As he'd drifted off to sleep last night, he thought that he was another day closer to Raikou's reappearance. He wanted to make sure he hadn't missed the Beast. Thankfully, there was no news about...
29: Earth Badge
Bright green burst from Sandshrew's hands as he initiated Fury Cutter. Cubone used Bone Rush. The Pokemon leapt at each other and clashed. They dropped while trading blows, Sandshrew's claws growing with each hit. Bone Rush got through his defences and struck him a couple of...
Update!
Apologies for the inconsistency over the past few weeks. Been quite ill. I'm living off of paracetamol, lol. I'm still doing what I can, so new chapter this weekend at least.
This update exists because I have a couple of questions for the audience, but it devolved into rambling about...
28: Last Laugh
The next morning, Joe decided to let his Pokemon have some fun. They'd earned it, and Joe believed in resting when possible. After completing small tasks like restocking supplies and washing clothes at a laundromat, Joe went to the beach. He wore shorts and a thin white shirt...
27: Supreme Wind Dragon
Joe hadn't seen a move limit in the rules for this tournament, but he decided it was a good approach for a beginner Trainer. It stopped Joe from wasting time scrolling through his phone due to bad memory, or being paralysed with indecision because he had too many...
26: Greased Lightning
Joe walked into the stadium lobby and saw Hiro. The kid gave Joe a forced smile. Joe felt compelled to encourage him. "You did good, kid. Keep working hard."
Hiro nodded and left the arena, not wanting to stick around. But give it an hour for the result to sink in and...
25: Shrewd Businessman
Outside, Erika let out a hefty sigh and sucked in a deep breath of fresh air. Rubbed her face with a sleeve of her kimono. She didn't have much to say, but Joe could tell it was affecting her. He passed her the third bottle of water he'd grabbed and she drank heartily...
24: Sickly Sweet
While eating breakfast the next morning, Erika spoke up. "Are you going to Amethyst?"
Joe hadn't planned on it. He could last long enough to reach Viridian without topping up his supplies. But Erika was asking for a reason, so he nodded. He wasn't against seeing another town...
23: Living off the Land
Joe set out early the next morning. Just before he left town, he checked a notification from Nomads. Payment for a job well done. Much less pay compared to his job with the police. That was to be expected, and Joe wanted it that way. He'd take nothing from civilians and...
22: Evolution
The group had done something of a round trip, so they were less than a day from Pallet. All being well, they'd get back to the laboratory around late afternoon. Sonia held Sandshrew in her arms for a time, but eventually the young Pokemon was ready to support himself. He needed...
21: Full Power
When Ralts said Sandshrew was closer, she wasn't kidding. The group walked maybe ten minutes, Hoothoot hopping along branches. They heard the echo of energies clashing. The sound of battle. Joe and Sonia briefly eyed each other. They had the same thought. Sandshrew was involved...
20: The Man in the Suit
When Joe was done being pampered, he made breakfast. Sonia ate calmly, Ralts on her lap and wielding a spoon that was too big for her. Joe cleaned off his plate fast. He had something he wanted to do before they went after Sandshrew again. He eyed Caterpie. It sat on a...
19: Scars
Sonia had already fallen too far. Joe had no chance of pulling her up. So he jumped. Grabbed Sonia's arm and pulled her into his chest. Saw that the drop was maybe seventy feet. He held Sonia tightly. Spun with the momentum so he would hit the ground first. Absol saving him on Mt...
18: To Adventure!
Ralts further relayed that Sandshrew had found his way to the forest around Pallet. He was still on the move. Ralts could track Sandshrew thanks to the overbearing annoyance. It was noticeable even a couple miles away. There were a lot of emotions throughout town, but Ralts...
