The Kaguya hit the ground and everyone in the room stopped what they were doing to stare at me. I had a few seconds to feel shame for my act. Oh, how they would sing of this day, surely a saga worthy of the Geisha. Of how the mighty warrior Matsu felled a child.
This was supposed to be how ...
2022-08-18 23:27:02 +0000 UTC View Post“—ging Dr. Statham, paging Dr. Statham. Report to C wing please,” called a voice over the speakers. I sat in my chair ignoring it, and the building annoyance that came from having to wait in such a clinical setting. I had given up trying to be comfortable. These were hospital chairs, they w...
2022-08-16 19:30:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe books weren’t heavy, but they still caused an audible whump as they landed on the table. I glanced at them before picking up the first one.

2022-08-16 19:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThis month's chapter for the 'Fan's choice was Red Riot - an Uzumaki SI into Kirigakure chapter 3. I'm still working on it with a lot up in the air for me right now but I'm... somewhat hoping to have it out next weekend. I just need time to sit down for it... which is always at a premium for me.&...

2022-08-12 22:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostI dreamt of flipping the table.
That was all I could imagine as I sat around the small rectangle table as Tiffany methodically went through what I’m sure was a lovely tea ceremony.
I could feel the weight of social expectations on my shoulders to remain where I was, but it sat poorl...

And Ghosts.
Not just Ghost types, but actual ghosts.
There was enough documentation to fill a whole row of shelves on the topic in the library. Of course, humans are still humans regardless of the universe, and people still dism...

I would have loved to have sat down with Elm, his aides, and Stephen to pick their minds and and potentially set up excuses for future pokemon acquisitions. Sadly I couldn’t do that. I had to focus on getting some food in front of my family and going through the nightly routine. I instead had t...
2022-08-02 19:40:11 +0000 UTC View PostThe platter was rather quickly demolished and everyone broke into small groups to discuss their observations. I could almost see hypotheses and conclusions zipping through the air as people spoke, sometimes by themselves but most of the time there seemed to be another that was acting as Darkrai's...
2022-08-02 19:39:33 +0000 UTC View PostNext to me, Salvadore vibrated in place. I leaned against the entrance desk that had been installed to greet new trainers. I would eventually have a receptionist sit here, but that wasn’t needed until the circuit kicked off. The only work we had right now was the local trainers looking to get s...
2022-07-26 19:31:00 +0000 UTC View PostI blew my whistle and bodies threw themselves forward. Arms and legs pumped. Sometimes even in unison. I held in a chuckle rather than groaning. It helped that I didn’t have high expectations. Thankfully, all of them showed some determination so I didn’t need to come down on them like the fir...
2022-07-26 19:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostWaking up cold was not a new experience for Leon. Waking cold and hungry? Also not a new experience. Still, he was actually comfortable. So that said things about today at least starting off well. He was in a bed, not like the bad days. Those days were rough. Those were the days you woke up sore ...
2022-07-26 02:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe Academy.
It loomed over the surrounding buildings and my future. It was not the tallest building that I had encountered in Kirigakure. That honour went to the water tower but when I mentioned it to my minders during my sporadic walks around Kiri I was informed that the tallest building ...

2022-07-19 20:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith the meeting taking place in Celadon, it was no surprise that the walk Koga and I found ourselves on went through a rather picturesque garden. The flowers that were currently blooming were particularly suitable for the winter season that always matched up with the off-circuit period.

Thanks for this artwork goes to Hlgedre for their work from Fivver! They were very meticulous with working through the process. When I asked for a hammy moustache they delivered with Sanchez's over-the-top moustache.

2022-07-16 01:37:56 +0000 UTC View PostI had a good sweat going on as I dodged another jostle from a Rhyhorn. “Ole!” I shouted while slapping the pokemon’s rump.
It had been a few days since talking with Surge about the Gym Leader meeting. Nothing of note had happened beyond day-to-day tasks for the Gym and family. Only no...
2022-07-16 01:09:30 +0000 UTC View PostI made sure the kids were out of the way for Celia’s return home to the Gym. It wasn’t too hard with last night’s snow. The kids had been eager to sprint outdoors. I’d stood in their way in the mudroom carrying a small mountain of scarves, gloves, jumpers and beanies.

2022-07-12 20:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI knew there were at least a few people circling and probing my defences, so to speak. I couldn’t lock everything down but I certainly was going to be looking into tightening up some loose details.
When I’d gotten home from my trip to Chrysanthemum Island, I had one of the gym’s train...

“Goooooooooood morning listeners old and new! Today! Huge news! Our old friend Rachel Raul has set us up with one of the hottest topics around! Today, we’re joined by Gym Leader Brock of Pewter City! Listeners! Can you dig it or what!?” The scruffy-looking radio host grinned into h...

Madeline White woke up.
Her body felt silk sheet. Her eyes saw nothing but darkness thanks to her sleeping mask. Her ears heard the creaking of floorboards as her maid bustled into the room.
“Mornin’ Miss White,” said the woman. Even without seeing, Maddy knew the woman was bowi...
2022-06-30 08:20:10 +0000 UTC View PostI’d beaten the champion, but I found the looming audit of my books a far more terrifying challenge. Instead of sleeping I chewed my lip and rolled over and over in bed.
I’d lost more sleep wondering if a misplaced decimal was going to spell my doom than calling out the Champion for a du...
2022-06-29 09:33:30 +0000 UTC View PostI was, all told, a huge fan of being lazy where possible. When I was hiring people there was a simple way to stick to this ideal.
I enlisted a local employment agency that managed most of my needs. I’d used them in the past and gotten a number of good candidates. I actually found Dennis f...

More often than not, a trainer had ignored all the signs I’d posted and strutted up to my door to demand to fight me. Apparently, they think it helped bolster them and put me on the back foot. Most of the time I merely had o...
