Hi guys, figured I'd share my (tentative) plans for September!
A Viper in the Hole, as my pokémon story has now been formally titled, will start uploading on Spacebattles and Sufficientvelocity, with the prologue being uploaded on daily basis, roughly like it was here on Patreon af...
2024-09-01 16:59:43 +0000 UTC View Post“People of Azalea Town, I present you all to your new Gym leader, Bugsy!” The old Gym leader announced, with plenty of volume but little enthusiasm, to the crowd gathered outside the Gym, before stepping to the side as behind him, the doors swung open and out strode Bugsy, his entirely unscat...
2024-09-01 16:47:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe next eight months passed faster than ever before, as Ran worked hard to integrate both Spinarak and Zubat into his team. Compared to Ekans, it felt like it took the new pair longer to grow truly comfortable with Ran as their trainer, but eventually they seemed to find their feet (or wings, in...
2024-08-30 13:09:37 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Ran eventually stumbled back into town half a week later, covered in dirt and debris and with a slight limp, his small prideful smile seemed awfully out of place. To his father however, the two new pokéballs on his son’s belt were all the explanation he needed. From Spencer, who Ran encou...
2024-08-28 17:23:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe next fifteen months passed slowly. Ran spent his time working for Kurt and the Charcoal Kiln on weekdays, forays into Ilex Forest and the area immediately surrounding Azalea Town slowly growing bolder, whilst spending his evenings and weekends preparing for his eventual journey. This ensured ...
2024-08-27 12:42:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Everyone shut up, I can’t hear the tv!” The Gym leader barked, his deep voice still capable of commanding a room of rowdy spectators despite his ever-advancing age. At the front of the room, the large screen on which the Indigo Plateau Conference was being shown finally became audible agai...
2024-08-26 11:49:49 +0000 UTC View PostWorking for Kurt and the Kiln was a good start to get some money coming in, with Ran’s first week of labor having resulted in his first payday ever. Now that the weekend had arrived and both Kurt and the Kiln were closed, it was time for another and arguably far more important event. His buddin...
2024-08-25 12:27:34 +0000 UTC View Post“Ekans is unable to battle! Ran Carr is out of pokémon! Bugsy is the winner!” After those words, things became blurry for Ran. Afterwards, he’d have near-total recollection of his first twenty four hours as a pokémon trainer, but, from the moment the referee called out Bugsy’s name, it ...

“These Slowpoke are all about equal in strength. They know Tackle, Curse, Growl, Water Gun, Yawn and Confusion. You have one day to catch a pokémon, familiarize yourself with it and show up here for your first battles. Whoever wins, becomes this year’s sponsored train...
2024-08-23 21:09:06 +0000 UTC View PostYeah this speaks for itself. Details are in flux for now, but obviously the more money I make, the more writing I do. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for the support.
