Red Riot - Chapter 6 - The Shark coast

I watched the rat run around frantically before expiring. I rubbed my temples. “Another failure for the liver’s healing, cause of death—” I put my hand on the rat and pulsed my chakra through its now dead body. “—cancer, resulting in hemorrhaging from cirrhosis,” I said a moment lat...

Hard Enough - Chapter 77 - Boys will be boys!

“Alright Ash. Let’s hear your plan,” said Misty as she stared at her travelling companion. They hadn’t been able to find any available accommodation and so instead they had set up their tent in an open field which saw them camping out close to the old derelict gym.

“Right! All we ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 76 - Ash emerges

Misty squinted at the ground. They’d gotten off the road again. Probably because Ash had actually listened to that Samurai brat after beating him. He’d given them the wrong directions as Misty knew he would! Sadly, Ash was adamant that they follow them. It had taken a few days to course corre...

Hard Enough - Artwork - When Pseudo-legendaries clash!

Hi every! I have to admit to being a bit sheepish as I had forgotten that I hadn't yet sent this one out! I've had it for a while now! this is the much anticipated Brock v Lance with Titan and Dragonite being shown off in what I like to think is the manga artstyle. This artwork was done by Rbyoug...

Hard Enough - Chapter 75 - Shopping

Girls could be a unique mystery. When I had first met Sabrina she’d been a girl that had avoided going out in public as much as possible. It wasn’t that she couldn’t but more that it was uncomfortable for her. Something we’d struggled with a fair bit during our time together when we’d b...

Hard Enough - Chapter 74 - Surfs up

Zephyr flew over Viridian as I chowed down on my breakfast with one hand. We had a good tailwind, but I’d urged him to go faster with the need to make up for the time I’d lost when I’d reminded the kids that the grannies were looking after them today. Suzie had demanded to come with me, and...

Thanks to Ryot_ryot on fiverr for completing this brilliant artwork of Yolanda in a scene hopefully not too far away.

Hard Enough - Chapter 73 - Fruitless

The brochure I had in my hand proclaimed the festival to be a ‘Celebration of Pewter city! Brought to you by Mayor Jonathan! Celebrate for a month of Pewter city at its finest!’. I glared at it as I walked my way into town.

Around me, my siblings ran about. Some were happy to s...

Hard Enough - Chapter 72 - Farewell fight!

Forrest stood between us. Behind him, on the stands, the rest of my family and any of the trainers that were in the Gym were seated. Rocko had made some silly-looking little flags with a drawing of Janine’s face and was using the flags to draw my siblings into cheering for Janine.

I shot ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 71 - Icy inspections

Lorelei had been asked to wait in the trainer lounge, something which hopefully wasn’t taken as a slight. Then again, it was a nicer space than sticking her in my office and asking her to wait. I paused in the entrance to observe her.

Lorelei was seen as the ‘cool beauty’ of the Elite...

Hard Enough - Chapter 70 - Lingering suspicions

“Scyther! Get those blades slicing through those wooden posts!” I shouted as I moved through the training area of my Elite pokemon.

“Ther!” said the bug pokemon as he tried to maintain his momentum past the wooden posts while slicing through them. A tough ask, but one that I had pre...

Hard Enough - Chapter 69 - Brock and Brawly

“Brawly!” I said, waving to the aqua-haired teen. I’d found him merrily conversing with Missy, while Rocko and Dennis sat near them.

Brawly looked up and nodded. “Brock! Hey!” He gestured around the room. “I might not want as big a gym as you have, but wow, this place has some n...

When we got home to the Okiya, the Madam took one look at my nose and threw a fit.

Hard Enough - Chapter 67 - Fighting against the surge

It’s crazy how something as insane as training pokemon and running a gym can almost become boring if you let it.

I very much sought to enjoy the process so I usually liked to try different things with varying match ups of pokemon. This could be battle tactics, to pokemon themselves coming...

Hello Patreons. I have noticed that we have reached a goal that I set a few months ago, which was like 2 months into posting chapters of Hard Enough.

Hard Enough - Chapter 64 - Training pokemon and people

Missy was working with her Rhydon and her Growlithe as I emerged from the gym. Chansey was on my left and Janine flickered into place on my right. She jabbed at me but I stepped to the side out of habit.

She brightened up at my reaction. “Excellent! You can also follow up by sweep—” View Post

Hard Enough - Chapter 63 - Meetings with Movers

Detective Pikachu had saved the day. That hadn’t been enough for my siblings and I’d ended up reading two more books before arriving late to the meeting. I’d apologised, but everyone had understood where I had been. Or in the case of the new hires, had been informed of what I’d been doing...

The fish fluttered a few times before expiring. I sighed, and glanced towards an hourglass of sand.

It had lasted marginally longer than last time. Marginally being a few seconds more than last time. The first ten times I’d tried this I’d ended up flash-frying the fish. Then I’d only ...

A trainer surge was the term used in the event of a sudden spike where the trainers that you would normally see within an extended period of time —say a month or even three months— descend on a gym all at once.
