Hard Enough - Chapter 127 - Interlude - The harmony of water - Part 1

Misty stared at the pokeball that she had in her hands. She’d been stuck looking at it for the last few days or so. She still couldn’t believe that she, Misty from Cerulean, had gotten herself a Squirtle!

“Misty! Come on! Let’s have them fight; I want to see who’s stronger!” sai...

Hard Enough - Chapter 126 - I see fire~

Moltres beat its wings.

They weren’t the biggest wings I’d ever seen. That honour went to a specially bred carrier Pidgeot. Each sweep of its wings had caused dust storms as it carried an entire family.

It paled in comparison to the raw power of a Legenday bird.

The air shoo...

Hard Enough - Artwork - I see fire...

Another artist I worked with on Fiverr made this landscape view for us. Their name is Myphuocanime. I wasn't sure things would work out as well as they did with the Bronze chapter count matching up like this. 

For the coming chapter, I blared Ed Sheeran's I see fire and the Legend of Z...

Hard Enough - Chapter 125 - Oh, Mt Silver~

With such terrible news landing in my lap, I had to force down the urge to react instantly. To start moving and making calls to anyone and everyone that might have a better idea what was going on.

Instead of doing any of those options, I clapped my hands together and stared at them. Then I ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 124 - Developing situations

Sabrina stayed with me that night. She knew precisely how to stop me from brooding. She leaned in with a little smile and a touch, and before long we were in bed enjoying ourselves.

She certainly made me think of more important things for the rest of the night.

When I got up, she glar...

Another wonderful artwork from Ryot_ryot! Looking for more prompts for the coming month! I will be reading back through some of the previous comments as well as I think I saw some great ones that need to be brought to life!

Hard Enough - Chapter 123 - Look to your Elders

Leaves danced through the forest. Shadows danced under the canopy as the trees rustled. The branches swayed.

Koga stood atop such a branch, moving in tune with the forest. A part of it. This position met his needs. It allowed him to assess the area without compromising himself or casting hi...

Hard Enough - Chapter 122 - Hiccups

“Kleavor!” said Gawain as he batted away Shin’s blades. He allowed himself a moment of smugness before he had to shift backwards as Shin retaliated.

“Gawain! You need to keep the pressure on! Don’t let Shin have that moment to recover. Patting yourself on the back can wait until t...

What should be released next month?

As it says on the tin! What would you like to have written up from my other stories?

This month I am going to add the option of another chapter of Hard Enough as well. Now, usually, I prefer to have the extra chapter as something different to help keep the creativity flowing and expand my ...

Red Riot - Chapter 10 - The Red Gambit

The ship lurched underneath us as we sailed. We weren’t as good as the Chunin or the Anbu trainees that had actually been manning the vessel on the way out, but that was to be expected.

We made do with the other former Academy students manning the ship. I stood on the prow, watching the o...

Hard Enough - Chapter 121 - Karen's challenge

“Intermission!” roared the announcers.

They did it before Charles Goodshow could raise his flags but he merely gave a good-natured laugh and waved for Karen and Steven to take a break.

Karen remained where she was while Steven moved back to his bunker. There, a number of people in...

Hard Enough - Chapter 120 - Ancient history and new challenges

The Moltres dominated half the wall. With a torch light on it, you couldn’t miss it. In the dark, it hadn’t been at all visible, and it hadn’t been the only wall art that I’d missed. There were recesses in the wall that held small items like broken pottery, statues, masks, and what appear...

Another artwork from Ro_arts with chibi detail. This one is of Munchlax wearing his Cowboy hat!

Hard Enough - Chapter 119 - Out Cold

“Both trainers are only allowed to use three pokemon! I can’t let this get too heated!” Lorelei said from where she stood between us.

Pryce sniffed and opened his coat, ignoring the freezing temperature and showing off his pokemon belt. I reached straight for the greatball on my neckl...

Hard Enough - Chapter 118 - Cold reception

“So, Rocko is off for a fortnight,” I said to the assembled group. I nodded to Rocko, “I think we can all say we’ll miss you terribly before you even walk out the door.” It wasn’t the best way to start off the meeting, but it honestly was one of the more important points, so I decided...

Hard Enough - Group Photo Gym openning day

Ryot_ryot smacked it out of the park, I think, with this one. I am super happy with it and it captures a photo that has been mentioned briefly in the story with the family standing around Brock on the day he opened the much larger Gym. Surge and Sabrina just happen to be there for the shot!

Voidhop - Chapter 7 - Punch it

Branx sauntered along the passageway. He was mentally patting himself on the back for that last play. Shirel’s squidy face had bulged with how he’d gotten the blast doors open. Shame about all the loot he’d lost but if he was lucky he’d get it all back soon enough.

At first glance, ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 117 Ancient Power up!

“—Tide! BB!” I shouted, causing my Lapras to fire short bursts of Ice Beam instead of merely blasting a singular beam forward. The wave that he’d fired into crumpled as the integrity became much more dubious, and Sabrina’s Starmie was forced to use Psychic to control his fall instead of...

Hard Enough - Chapter 116 - Training tutorials

I felt my muscles twitch in protest as an ache coursed through my body. I held the stretch and breathed in as controlled a manner as possible.

“Excellent work Brock!” cheered Trixie. “You're so close to getting your whole hand past your foot. Keep going; I know you can do it!”

This artwork was done by Dearluna and I thought I'd include it.

Hard Enough - Chapter 115 - Down time

I blinked blearily as I heard some whispered shushing and a few tiny feet attempting to sneak past my door. I tried to sit up, only for Sabrina’s arm to shoot out and drag me back down.

“No. Sleep,” she commanded from her position in the bed. On the pillow behind her Ralts gr...

Red Riot - Chapter 9 - Red Graduation

Himeko was not amused at my proclamation. At all. 

She let me know this by punching me in the face. Repeatedly.

If I gave her any chance, she did it. Sometimes she wouldn’t even wait for during our training sessions. She’d walk past me and suddenly lash out. Then she’d occa...

“Ekans, blow up the water with Iron Tail!” Jessie said, chopping her hand straight down.
