Hard Enough Artwork - Brock and Selene

Another artwork from Ryot_ryot, this time featuring Brock and Selene, the often underutilised Lunatone!

As always, please throw me your thoughts and ideas for any other artworks you want to see. I have seen some good ones that I am asking Ryot to do up!

Hard Enough - Chapter 144 - Ace high

My warm up was much faster today, but no one could blame me. Today was the next step in my plan to force Will’s hand.

I’d been looking forward to all week. When I’d laid down the challenge against Gavin Glady, he hadn’t been able to back down, not after what he’d been saying.

What should be released this month?

As it says on the tin! What would you like to have written up from my other stories? Multiple votes are allowed! I'm not sure how things will shake out entirely, but I hope I can still commit to getting another chapter written up this month. I will lock the vote this Saturday and get stuck into s...

Hard Enough - Chapter 143 - Aquatic showdown

The next day, I set up a few lounging chairs in the reserve along with a picnic basket. Yolanda deposited a few blankets and put Terra down next to Empress. Will’s next match ‘on his circuit’ was about to start and I had just about finished up setting things up.

“Brock, do you think...

Hard Enough Artwork - Superhero landing!

From Ryot_ryot we have the gang practising their cool entrance poses!

Sadly, Sanchez is going to take awhile!

I have a few really good suggestions for artworks that have come up, so I will be looking to get some of the artists I have tapped to make them up!

Hard Enough - Chapter 142 - Stronger, better, harder, faster

I almost walked straight out to talk with Empress. But then I considered what I was about to do.

One does not simply walk up to a Pseudo-legendary pokemon and ask them to join your team.

There were good odds that she’d be offended by my offer and trash the reserve. I pinged a messag...

Hard Enough - Chapter 141 - Bug buddies

“So you’re the leader of the local chapter of the Bug Catcher Club?” I asked as I led the group of young boys. There was also a single girl who had happily entangled one of her arms with one of the boys while walking through the Gym with Dennis and Yolanda.

I noticed more than a few f...

Red Riot - Chapter 11 - The Red Letter

I awoke with a foot in my face and a knee in my ribs.

The foot belonged to Rei, while the knee belonged to Shoto. I grumbled at both of them and dislodged myself to scramble to the toilet. Having small bodies lay on you invariably meant that someone had to be pressing on your bladder. I fel...

Hard Enough - Chapter 140 - Return to the grind

The blare of my alarm had me up and about like normal. I was halfway through listing off what I needed to do for the morning before I remembered how things had gone for the last few days. I stopped cleaning my face and braced myself against the sink.

Right, a whole lot had happened.

Hard Enough - Chapter 139 - Rocket Raid reruns

Sabrina released her Alakazam and a Hypno to help transport us all to the site that she’d discovered. We teleported in a flash of light. When I blinked my eyes, I noticed that the sun itself had shifted in the sky. I glanced around and caught sight of a vaguely familiar landmark.

Hard Enough - Interlude - Empress impressions - A platinum request

She awoke steadily. Her eyes didn’t need to adjust to the darkness of the cavern. She was one with the darkness. That didn’t mean she moved recklessly, however. With her eggs, she would need to—

She stopped as the memories rose unbidden.

That was right; her eggs were gone. Destr...

Hard Enough -Artwork - Samurai Furret

From our artist, Ryot_ryot! I asked for something a little different and decided to showcase the television show that Brock's family loves to watch. Enjoy his paws of honour and justice! He's Samurai Furret!

I hope you enjoy!

Hard enough - Chapter 138 - Bonds revisited

I barely made it out the front of the Gym to meet Jenny. I arrived in time to see a blur racing across the landscape towards my gym that quickly closed on me.

Instincts made me reach for a pokeball and release Shin. He lifted his head, saw the oncoming threat, and raised his blades, a shine...

Hard Enough - Chapter 137 - Press conferences and unasked for prizes

I had a little bit of time before the press conference, so I assembled the… Well, I couldn’t really call them my A team as Dennis and Rocko were both on leave while Forrest was on his journey.

I tilted my head and considered the room. I’d been able to get Rachel, Yolanda, Mis...

Hard Enough - Breakfast/Brunch moments

Dearluna has been commissioned to create a wonderful artwork for us with Brock, Sabrina, and Ralts all enjoying a meal together! I particularly like Brock's bedhead with how ruffled he looks.

Hard Enough - Chapter 136 - The day after

A mocking laugh had me turning to find Will standing on a ridgeline. His hand was raised in front of his face in the most prissy manner I could imagine, and he cackled at me. I frowned. What was I doing here? I was standing in the midst of a broken landscape that… No. Not just any broken landsc...

Hard Enough - Expressions of Brock

I asked Ozlyk to do some expressions for Brock and this is what they came up with. Happy, Angry, and Sad. I've not included these as one of the saturday releases as I will also release these to the public.

Ozlyk also did some extra people in his versions, so if you're on the public viewin...

Hard Enough - Mt Moon moments!

Another artwork from Ryot_ryot showcases the Clefairy doing their little dance around the meteor while Brock watches on.

I rather like this simple set up and have to say it feels very peaceful.

As it says on the tin! What would you like to have written up from my other stories? Multiple votes are allowed! I have decided not to do another chapter of Hard Enough this month.

Hard Enough - Chapter 134 - Brock v Will part 4 - The Finale

The explosion happened so quickly that I only had time to shout “Pr—” before it engulfed Titan and the battlefield.

In front of me, the barriers that protected the trainers flared into life before glowing red ominously. The stadium barriers glowed orange before slowly filtering back. ...

“Shrek Dig!” I ordered, eyeing the distance that divided Slowking and him. Trying to sprint across it wouldn’t work, especially with Trick Room in effect. I could also have him do a dogged advance, but that wouldn’t work as well for me.

Instead, I was going to bet on something else ...

Hard Enough - Artwork - Sanchez's snow day

Another Artwork from Ryot_ryot who took some artistic license to give Sanchez a switch for his snow day! I think it still works for him though!

Hope you enjoy this and don't worry! The next installment of the fight isn't that far off!

Hard Enough - Chapter 132 - Brock v Will Part 2

While the plan was working for Gawain and myself, I knew I had to be on the lookout for Will pulling off his own plan. If I could work it out, I could disrupt it.

So far, I was suspicious of how Gawain had been overextending himself to hack and slash his axes at Medicham, only for nothi...

The morning of the match started much like any other. I nuzzled into Sabrina and enjoyed her warmth before shooting the alarm clock a glare. A sigh escaped Sabrina, and she prodded me into heading out into the reserve to run through my day’s chores.

I grumbled, gave her a kiss, and got ou...

Surge bounced his leg and stared at the computer. He still hadn’t heard anything from the situation in the west, but he was confident in his little buddy. Some of his old pals had informed him that Sabrina was with him, so he was sure to be safe.

Any moment now, he would hear from Brock. ...

Misty awoke with a loud yawn and a stretch. She smacked her lips and blinked away the sleep of the night to glance around the room. Forrest was still in the bed across the room from her. Ash’s bed was atop Forrest as the top bunk, but despite that Ash was only half in the bed.
