a/n: We know it’s been a while, and we hope you enjoy this new chapter. Please understand that this is a first draft, and we may make edits to it before posting on outside sites in two weeks. Raven was recovering nicely. The little Pokémon had a lot of spirit. Not unlike Fi herself. She … Continue reading
“Okay, I confess, I know I might be a bit out of the loop here…” Bolin said. The motorboat was bumping across the waves, and he was trying to strike a balance between maintaining some element of surprise and still talking loud enough to be heard over the motor. He pointed at the vast ocean … Continue reading
Once they touched ground, Izumi quickly got to her feet, as did everyone else. Of course, the large explosion drew attention. It would have been highly convenient if they could have somehow managed a silent explosion as part of the victory, but seeing as how Izumi was grateful just to be alive at the moment, … Continue reading
Gladion gripped the Master Ball, still warm in his hands from its capture. He’d mentally prepared himself for this moment as much as he could. But the fact remained that he’d always succeeded by hiding in the shadows, taking his opponents by surprise. They were certainly surprised now. But as for shadows, Gladion was out … Continue reading

He’d have thought that would be one of the more interesting parts of his tale. Nanami had fallen asleep earlier than that; he’d felt his body slip back into his … Continue reading
She awoke on a marble floor. Nearby, a trace of scented ashes wafted from an extinguished marble brazier. Pierce was by her side, and was the only one who seemed to notice she had woken. The rest of the room was chaos. White-garbed students ran this way and that, yammering exclamations. No less than three … Continue reading
Zuko had a few theories about the limits of voidbending. He’d never had the chance to test any of them, but he supposed now was as a good time as any. His captors were strategic about their hostage-keeping, at any rate. He and Nanami were both kept bound onto the mast of a ship, which … Continue reading
Pierce could tell Fi was irritated. She had been the entire helicopter flight here. He credited the sleep deprivation. Well, that and their disguises. If one could indeed call them that. Judging from the number of puzzled stares they’d gotten so far strolling through Saffron City, his plan had backfired in a big way and … Continue reading
