I found it odd that all my battles so far had some measure of difficulty. I seemed to be running a gauntlet of the strongest trainers in the league. It made me happy, but it also meant I had to spend more time getting treatment for my pokemon.
That’s what had me sitting in the lobby of th...
2022-08-30 22:21:33 +0000 UTC View PostLegilimency was hard. Stupidly so. For me, at least. Hermione found it easy as anything else, but for me, every attempt to get into Hermione’s head was a battle. An uphill one.
On the positive side, though, my fears seemed unfounded. Hermione couldn’t find anything in my mind regarding ...
2022-08-30 21:51:08 +0000 UTC View Post“Come in, Mr Malfoy” was what I heard before I even got to knock on the door. I waved it open with my wand and strode into Snape’s office as confidently as I could.
There’s a reason I’d been avoiding the man since I was inserted into this body. He was a powerful legilimens w...
2022-08-29 08:08:33 +0000 UTC View PostToday’s battles were going to be two-on-two engagements instead of the one-on-one we had yesterday. With 64 participants left, everyone would get two battles to cut us down to 16.
Silph’s president didn’t show up for today’s ceremony, so the announcer started calling names for...
2022-08-24 14:11:08 +0000 UTC View PostI left my room the next day and went straight to the duelling arena set up on the Quidditch pitch. With the swap to a league dueling format, I was one of only two people who would be duelling today.
I would be facing off against the terrifying Artemis Manois of Durmstrang. She was Greek. I'...
2022-08-22 20:05:41 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the night with thoughts running through my mind. Was I ready? Had I prepared enough? I knew my pokemon were strong, but I wasn’t so sure about myself. After all, strong pokemon had lost to weaker ones when their trainer allowed himself to get tricked. It went without saying that strateg...
2022-08-21 14:56:26 +0000 UTC View PostMy first order of business as the King of Astapor was putting out the fires I’d started during my ascension. I’d detained every ship and prevented anyone from leaving the city. News of this would get out eventually but I needed to have things in order before then.
Fortunately, there was...
2022-08-20 20:11:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys,
I need some Original Characters for the tournament arc coming up. If you're interested in having your own characters in the fic, then just comment under this with the details of the character. Name, appearance and pokemon.
Please try to stick to pokemon that can ...
2022-08-19 18:30:42 +0000 UTC View PostI hadn’t really been thinking when I’d promised the Unsullied a feast. Luckily, my uncle was kind enough to provide us with a ship full of supplies. I lost every bit of pity I had for the man and what I would be doing to him when I received Greybeard’s report on what they’d found on the s...
2022-08-17 09:12:04 +0000 UTC View PostWe took off in formation as we approached the cave the traitor had been leading us towards. The thought that one of the unsullied would betray me was a frightening one. Soldiers that had been trained to be obedient and loyal from a young age turning into traitors was beyond ridiculous.
I wa...
2022-08-16 21:26:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe team is mostly complete, but I'm having trouble deciding what the final pokemon on Donnel's team should be.
2022-08-15 12:46:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe Magnezone was officially the most difficult pokemon I’d ever attempted to train. It was arguably even worse than the Dusknoir. Where the ghost type would attempt to attack me, the Magnezone did nothing like that. It spoke to Ino when she telepathically conversed with it and had expressed it...
2022-08-15 12:43:51 +0000 UTC View Post“Who did this?” I could hear the anger in Lance’s voice. He wasn’t alone in this though. Kanto had erupted into chaos, and as a native, I felt more than a fair amount of anger at the situation. A dead Gym leader. Not of old age or anything so simple.
A gym leader dead at the hands o...
2022-08-12 18:21:24 +0000 UTC View PostThree months was a stupid amount of time to spend on a deserted island. We still had some time left here though. The ships were being built. What ships you asked? Well, when I realized that I’d never be able to fit all the crap I wanted to take with me on two ships, I decided to simply build mo...
2022-08-08 19:47:03 +0000 UTC View PostKoga’s tests were simple things. He didn’t ask to battle the Snorlax or anything. He just had me give the Snorlax orders and then wrote things on his clipboard. I was elated when I released the Snorlax and it decided to honour our unspoken deal. It obeyed every order I gave. It was amazing. 2022-08-08 07:04:39 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey friends. I just created an email newsletter on substack. I'll be posting my thoughts on a whole host of things; ranging from writing to being a law students to just random thoughts about the internet. If you're interested in that kindly indicate that with a comment on this post. I already hav...
2022-08-05 17:53:22 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up the next day with a headache. I spent a few minutes relaxing in the soft bed before I bolted upright. I remembered last night. I couldn’t even stop the smile that bloomed on my face. I looked around the room for my new friend and felt that smile die down when I realized the room was e...
2022-07-31 20:47:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the journey to Valyria was smooth sailing. Quite literally. No idea what happened, but killing the Kraken seemed to have scared off the rest of the ocean’s residents. No. That was stupid. Animals weren’t that intelligent, were they? No idea.
All I knew was that after the Kra...
2022-07-31 19:58:47 +0000 UTC View PostIno teleported me to the same store as last time. The Fuchsia city gym wasn’t challenged by trainers often. At least, as often as some of the others. Koga was not a merciful man. His poison types didn’t kill often but his demeanour demoralised trainers even more than Surge’s. That made it e...
2022-07-28 13:36:07 +0000 UTC View PostWe spent the rest of the day mourning our lost friend. We crowded around his body and sat in silence. Almost silence. The roar from Kenpachi’s jets along with the sounds of the forest prevented us from absolute silence. When the sun set, Ino roused the team from our mourning.
I walk...
2022-07-25 23:01:07 +0000 UTC View PostA scream of pain echoed through the forest. I traced its origin to the skies above and looked up. Quicksilver’s vacuum control had robbed the Charizard of its fire-type moves. Now, it was making up for that by attempting to bully my bird out of the air with its bulk.
I screamed at Quicksi...
2022-07-24 12:28:12 +0000 UTC View PostIgneel’s evolution was one of the last things I needed to happen before I had to set off for a supply run. His evolution increased his appetite by a massive amount. His evolution put him in the upper echelons of my team strength-wise. Right now, there was no clear way to tell who the strongest ...
2022-07-21 10:03:54 +0000 UTC View PostHaving a psychic type on my team was a unique force multiplier. Ino made explaining moves to my pokemon as easy as thinking. She connected our minds with growing ease. Even a month ago, she would have struggled to do this. Things were different now. she conveyed my thoughts and imagination to Kis...
2022-07-18 13:09:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe gulf of grief always fascinated me. Like why would it have such a specific and unfortunate name? A few days into the gulf though, I understood. The sky wept at every moment. The rain fell in drizzles and storms with no rhyme and reason between them. There was no way to tell the difference or ...
2022-07-17 14:31:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe journey to Valyria was a long arduous quest. We spent close to two weeks simply sailing from Astapor to the Gulf of grief. The map I procured in Bravos was a worthwhile investment as it ensured we didn’t get lost as we went on our journey.
As we sailed through the open sea, I had noth...
2022-07-17 14:29:57 +0000 UTC View PostSeven months passed in a blur. I spent that time doing a variety of things. I trained with Syrio for most of the day and spent the rest of my time playing Cyvasse with the Sea lord. I tried to deflect his subtle and not-so-subtle probes on what I planned to do with the ship and money. Where I pla...
2022-07-17 14:28:34 +0000 UTC View PostWe docked in Bravos after over a month of travel. If I’d spent that time hidden away, I probably wouldn’t have managed to survive. A few hours after we’d set sail, I left my hiding spot to speak to the captain. He was none too pleased about having me stowaway on his ship, but the promise of...

Six years. Six long and hard years. I was officially in my majority, as of today. A man grown in most ramifications. I was now old enough to hold lands in my own name, according to Westerosi law.
I’d spent the last six years in a lot of interesting ways. It w...
2022-07-12 21:23:26 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Oak left, I spent some time bonding with the Larvitar. I even ended up naming him Kenpachi. It just felt fitting. He had almost nothing in common with the Bleach character but that’s the name I chose so that’s the name he had. He also loved the name. He was quite a bit older than Igneel...
2022-07-10 17:11:33 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up the next day to a disturbance in the camp. Igneel was growling while being held in the air by some psychic force. I did a double take at that and jumped out of my bedroll in shock. I had almost released Broly from his pokeball before I realized what pokemon was holding Igneel up. It was...
