Chapter 12
Metang’s claws twitched. His arms moved imperceptibly. His red eyes never left the forms of the Pokémon before him, but he wasn’t involved in this battle.An electric, gliding rodent—and Emolga—flew circles around a Gothitelle standing stock-still. The Psychic type almost seemed as though it was merely a model ...

Chapter 11.5, Interlude - A Step Into The Past
Almost a year ago.I was poor.I was still getting used to being a Pokémon trainer, but I was getting money that helped. Every week, a notice came of a payment from my sponsor that gave just enough to get by. Combining that with the earnings from odd jobs and the occasional battle win, I was able to profit just enough t...

Author Note:Hello! Here’s the upcoming schedule for this fiction:Tentatively, chapters will come out twice a week on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Chapter 10
Author Note:When I end a chapter with a major cliffhanger, I want that cliffhanger to last by choice and not because a shift in schedule forced it.This is Wednesday’s chapter. We’ll pick back up on Thursday. This time around, there is no cliffhanger at the end.=======================================================...

Chapter 8
A Pokémon’s evolution was almost like filling a water balloon—the energy inside them would slowly fill and build pressure up to a certain point, and then it would “burst,” spreading out and inspiring a rapid, extreme change. Different species had different ways to achieve this sudden change, with the vast majo...
Chapter 7
Our goal had changed; we were no longer trying to catch any possible Pokémon. Now, we had a specific Pokémon in mind that we sought to add to our team. While I wasn’t insane—if we ran into an Excadrill or another strong Steel type, I’d still try to catch it—my entire focus and energy was spent searching for t...
Chapter 6
We were surrounded. Dark figures lurked in the trees, and long claws dragged grooves into the bark while knocking away thin, surface-level layers of snow. Red eyes gleamed within the shadows, and even Liepard wasn’t able to hide. Every Pokémon species had a special ability innate to it, and the group that surrounded...
Chapter 5
Author Note:Early chapter due to the holiday!Happy Halloween!=======================================================================My team had a pretty clear ranking when it came to power and skill in battle, but it was a ranking for power and skill individually rather than both at once.No one could argue that Valiant...
Chapter 4
“Rotom! Come back down!” I shouted up into a gap in the trees. “The magnetic fields are already messing with everything—the feeds are warped! We’re going to have to do this the hard way.”I was thankful that I was able to recognize the distortions before they got too bad; when Rotom flew back down in his dro...
Chapter 3
The bus maintained a low rumble that brought us eastward along a consistent path. What started as mountainous cliffs turned into a low-lying moor, and then evergreen forests began to flank the road.Despite the untamed nature around us, this road was the most well-paved road I’d seen so far. Most of the time, travel i...

[New Fiction] The Tech Specialist - Chapter 1
Author Note:Welcome!=======================================================================I’d ridden a plane exactly once before—twice, technically, since I’d needed to take a return flight home.

The Type Specialist Extra Chapter 6 - Memories of Magearna (Part 2)
The train’s whistle blew, and Magearna all but bounced around the cabin. Her metal legs clicked against the wood floor to bring her along to inspect every possible inch. Her eyes were red glass lenses that failed to shift or hint at any possible feeling. For her mouth, it was nothing more than the smallest of opening...

The Type Specialist Extra Chapter 4 - Pink
The brisk weather hit me first; it’d been a while since I’d escaped any sort of humidity. Where Alola and Hoenn would have this uncomfortable warmth to them, the weather out here was much closer to Sinnoh’s. However, Sinnoh’s environment tended to be dry, and Galar’s was undoubtedly wet.Though it was not acti...
The Type Specialist Extra Chapter 3 - The Haunted House at the End of the Road
The environment of this place was significantly more humid than I expected, but I was basing my expectations on the fading memory of a video game that I’d played years and years before. The warm air was thick in a clogging sort of way, and it felt as though it was sticking to my skin even though all I was doing was s...
