Steelix was one of the most dangerous species of Pokémon my team ever encountered. Not only were they aggressive and territorial, but they actively sought out battles just to test themselves. Most of the wild Steelix here were veterans of hundreds of tough fights for survival, and the wild Onix ...

2022-12-02 23:05:01 +0000 UTC View Post"So after Altaria dented it, how were your Pokémon able to damage the Iron Ball two more times?"
"Well, since Altaria was able to use Flamethrower to soften it up for his attacks, I thought that if Ninetales chilled it to make it brittle we would be able to scratch it."
"Did that wor...
2022-11-30 23:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostFog surrounded the town. Gray mists filled the streets. Crowds of humans and Pokémon moved in surprisingly orderly lines to the cover of the Space-Time Towers’ garden’s trees.
Nervous sniffles and cries rang out as the ominous environment shifted and flowed around the people present. A...
2022-11-28 23:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the Rise of Darkrai but with Steven with meta-knowledge chapter I talked about from before. It ended up over 13,000 words long, so I had to split it up for the sake of my own sanity. These pair of chapters are technically from the future, taking place during the middle of the time p...
2022-11-27 23:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostIron Island wasn't just one small section to the west and a single cave system like it was in the games. It was much closer to how it was in the anime: a mountainous island that poked out of the sea with a small town on its westernmost shore. Most of the natural foliage had been removed in the ye...

Thank you for patiently waiting while I've been gone. I appreciate all the supportive comments people left for me after the last chapter.
I really love writing The Type Specialist, and I’m motivated to continue bringing consistent chapters to you all, but taking my first b...
2022-11-25 23:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe Canalave City Gym was located at the base of a cliffside right on the edge of town. The paved sidewalks faded away into rocky terrain, although there was still a defined road that led right up to the entrance. The building itself looked like a featureless metal cube lodged into the rock, exce...

2022-11-13 23:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostI would say training went well, except for the fact I didn’t actually spend my time dedicatedly training my team. As it stood, we had our actual Gym Battle coming up, where Ponyta, Dedenne, and Carbink needed to compete. Ninetales, Mawile, and Whimsicott would sit this one out in favor...

Carbink nodded their body at my side. Ahead of us, a rocky cliff opened up into a wide tunnel that would lead to Oreburgh itself; a shortcut colloquially known as "Oreburgh Gate.” I was more than looking forward to braving it with my team.
It helped that I ...

At this point, I knew she fully understood I wasn’t responsible for Ralts current state. She was most l...

2022-10-31 22:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a Contest chapter. There’s a lot of mixed feelings about Contests, and I know some people just flat out don’t bother reading if they’re involved. While I suggest you read it anyway since it’s fun and adds to the world, it is still entirely contained within this one chapter so you ...
