Hard Enough - Chapter 392 - Train like time is running out

“Shit! Shit! Shit!” I growled as I thundered down the flattened path leading to a target that was on a swivel.

My lance, couched in my arm and held as firmly as I could manage, wobbled as I closed. 

I thrust when I closed with the target, only to whiff by an inch.

Sadly...

Hard Enough - Chapter 391 - The Medal ceremony

The Medal ceremony was originally planned to occur upon Vermilion City’s docks.

Then organizers got wind of just how many people were interested and quickly came to understand that it would be a nightmare, even with the use of pokemon to speed run construction. In contrast, others fought ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 390 - Home again

My return home took longer than the planned week that I’d allocated for my trip to the Battle Frontier. 

I hadn’t gotten anything that I’d initially planned when I set off for the Battle Frontier done beyond meeting Bradon, Noland, and Lucy. Spencer, the representative of Rota, h...

Hard Enough - Chapter 388 - Lorekeeper

Meeting the sunrise after an hour’s training was a fairly common routine for me.

It oddly took different styles of effort. In summer, the morning sessions were nice to train in with the cool of the morning being rather relaxing with the sunrise heralding an uptick in heat. There was also ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 386 - The family reunion - Interlude

Yolanda stared at the older girl. No. She was a woman grown.

“So I’ll look like you if I wear that much leather, fur and claws?” she murmured.

“If you’re lucky,” Agate’s lips twitched in amusement as she tossed her head.

It wasn’t very effective.

Hard Enough - Chapter 385 - The weight carried by Crushers

Screams of shock jolted me from my sleep, and I sat up groggily only to blink uncertainly at the hide walls of the tent I’d bunked in.

Huh? This wasn’t my state of the art… oh, right, the Crusher Tribe. We were in their tent right now.

“Who’s screaming?” I said as I prepar...

Hard Enough - Chapter 384 - Dark night for dark deeds and songs

My guide was quick to lead me and a few of my pokemon towards the altercation, not that I needed their direction upon exiting my tent.

“Death to the thief!” “False Overlord!” “Bastard!” “Coward!” “Egg thief!” 

A few chants stuck out to me as I was led through ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 383 - All hail... Brock?

It took all of a minute for Lance to land and end up staring at me. He had his hands on his hips, but I pointedly ignored him in favour of smiling at Sabrina who’d practically moulded herself to my side. A large part of me was just enjoying having her safe in my arms while another part was doin...

So it looks like Normal Ursaluna has won the vote! It was a surprisingly close vote percentage-wise. Sorry for those who didn't get their choice! That being said, there were some great points regarding Bloodmoon Ursaluna that were raised. When Brock eventually goes to Kitakami I think we'll have ...

I had a good deal of experience fighting fires.

Hi everyone! So in my chapters coming up, Brock is going to be evolving Ursaring.

I’d been willing to hold back my strongest moves and pokemon against Brandon.
