Giovanni was pleased to hear Brock had agreed to the mission without an argument this time. It was getting more and more annoying to twist the former gym leader’s arm without Ash taking notice. Time was of the essence. He summoned Brock to Viridian’s outdoor training facility that afternoon. Even though, by his current plans, … Continue reading
Despite her misgivings, Misty had no immediate regrets about signing up to assist the new trainer Sawyer had mentioned. Largely because once she got off the phone, she and Brock found themselves with non-expiring, VIP passes to stay at the luxurious Pasio Grand Hotel whenever they liked. As Misty slipped into a warm bubble bath … Continue reading
Two weeks earlier… Bam! Ingo sat up, spitting grass out of his mouth. Unlike most people who appeared on the island of Pasio, he didn’t react with disorientation or confusion. After all, it had not been the first time that he’d been shoved through time and space against his will. Instead, his gut twisted, and … Continue reading
Rapp and Zipp both lost to their boss in short order. No surprises there. It was a bit of a relief to Fi, though. The sooner she got on with this fight, the sooner she could get back to camp so Pierce didn’t come looking for her. Guzma grinned and cracked his knuckles before motioning … Continue reading

Not in the metaphorical sense as he usually was with mountains of debt and mere molehills of capital to pay it all off. No, he was drowning in the quite literal sense of the word–shoved off a boat in the middle of … Continue reading

There’s zero background knowledge needed. This fic technically takes place in our Mergers universe, but no background really needed there, either. This is more of a … Continue reading
Plumeria sucked at being pregnant. That was Guzma’s thought, anyway. Oh, she did great at carrying the baby around and eating healthy and all that garbage. Guzma hadn’t had a Tapu Cocoa milkshake in six months. He’d been thinking of sending the grunts to smuggle one in. But the part where pregnant ladies were supposed … Continue reading
a/n: Hi, everyone! Rowan and I are excited to finally start posting the sequel to Mergers. The awesome artwork of Aquafeles is by Mahalia. (She’s often open to commissions, so be sure to check out her other work!) We’ll post the larger version when we get a little farther into the story–otherwise it’d be a … Continue reading
Gladion pressed himself into the corner of a small corridor, watching a pair of uniformed women pass by. They chatted each other up about New Year’s plans and the airport’s lousy coffee, but neither of them looked his direction. He slowly released the breath he’d been holding, to the detriment of his senses. The corner … Continue reading
