A Bet for the Break
"Looks like you lose!" said the cocky Bulbasaur to his friend, a rather chubby Mudkip. "A-awe, c'mon, you cheated Brett!" that Mudkip replied, pouting quite a bit. He crossed his arms, turning his head away in a sharp humph. Cheeks puffed out, the...
Home Alone with You
"Taylor, honey, we're heading out now!" called one of the Sylveon's parents. He pulled his headphone to the side slightly, still processing those words before calling out his reply. "Alright Mom--have a good night out," he yelled back. His headphones...
The Halloween He Didn't Remember
_Tong_. An old grandfather clock chimed the half-hour, and Vance flicked his eyes from the TV to the clock-face. The raccoon wiggled his nose slightly at it--eight-thirty at night, just about time for the crowd of trick-or-treaters to start dwindling...
Date the Father, Dick the Son
Swipe. Swipe. Swipe. "No... no... huahh... no..." the hyena muttered to himself, thumbing through profile after profile boredly upon his dating app. He was new to the city--a contract worker by trade, which meant that any long-term relationship...
Game Store Bargain
 Wednesday. There was a reason that people called it "hump day", and it certainly didn't have any relation to the more exciting definition of the word "hump". Jason sighed a slight bit, listening to the...
Pokemon Boarding School: Flannel Flames
"What dorm are you in again?" Quinley asked, walking alongside a Vulpix. Like the other male, the Quilava was dressed in a tan colored school uniform--though his had a few burns on the neck. "Kanto dorm, c'mon, I've told you this a bunch of times,"...
Pokemon Boarding School: Fat Bottomed Boys
"Hey _L_ardent! Gonna get seconds at lunch again?" called a Charmander from across the room. His insult was directed towards a particularly pudgy Drilbur in his English class. No more than a few seconds passed before the Leavanny teacher slipped by and...
Street Rat
A low, growling grumble woke the Rattata up from his sleep. His eyes opened unwillingly, letting in the bright sun, reflected off the snow-drifts piled in the alleyway he had made his "home". He crawled from his box, a crude and barren shelter from the...
A Mender's New Hope
It was a bright day in the Clockworks--or at least as bright as it could get three levels down. Terraformed soil on massive platforms slowly drifted in its steady rotation around the multi-layered planet, the soft whirr and click of machinery just an...
Dinner, Skip the Movie
Dull clanks echoed through the forest, the byproduct of a trainer setting up his tent. He wiped the sweat off his face; despite the forest being in a relatively cool area, constant Pokémon battles had worn both him and his Lopunny out. He exhaled...
Caught on Camera
My gaze trailed lazily down the riverbank, ringed by the thick, black outlines of my binoculars. They were sweltering hot in the sunlight, and my fingers covered them with a layer of sweat where they connected. I could not see many rare, or uncommon,...
An Infernape's Love
It is not normal, my attraction. For an Infernape and Human to be romantically involved would be the deepest of sins for someone of his world, and a great shame for someone in mine. Yet I'm sure of my feelings. Sure of what I wanted to do with him....
