The Human Species Ch.117 - The Final Episode (Prologue)
Celebi focused her mind. Despite having requested to handle this task alone, being the last living soul in Nomad's Land made her feel abandoned. Jirachi had departed to alert the legendaries, Zoroark had teleported away and both Lucario and Zerobi were...
The Human Species Ch.112 - Bored Vanguard Graveler
Cold and desolate, Nomad's Land had not changed much since their last visit. Lucario trod through the snow with heavy footsteps, and even Zerobi was beginning to sink through the softening whiteness as spring did what it could to melt the frozen north....
The Human Species Ch.109 - Problematic Oppressor Primeape
Giving off a pained grunt, Lucario struggled to sit upright, finding it difficult to move his body. The noise of laughter surrounded him as his head bobbed back and forth, his sense of balance in complete shambles. "Lucario! What happened!?" Zerobi...
The Human Species Ch.106 - Dangerous Dark Assassin
A taste so wondrous, it surely had to be of another world. A packet of nutrition designed to encourage a pleased palette, a portal connecting his tongue with a whole new dimension of taste. It filled him with the desire to kneel in fervent prayer,...
The Human Species Ch.105 - Bedridden Spouse Rukario
Rukario heard someone coming up the stairs and hastily pulled the bedsheets up to her neck. Not because she was cold, in fact adding cotton to fur would soon make it quite unbearably hot for her, especially now that winter had departed. Instead it was...
The Human Species Ch.104 - Carefree Returner Blue
Lucario yawned as he woke up, only to be greeted by the most unusual sound of something boiling. It was quickly followed by a sound he recognized all too well - His stomach rumbling. Any normal person would have seen this as a sign of something tasty...
The Human Species Ch.100 - Prologue of Year 12
Celebi stirred awake, the large flower she was lying on moving in response to the arrival of another day beyond the cavern's walls. She stretched out her arms as she flew up, grimacing as she was feeling stiff all over. A strong urge to go outside and...
The Human Species Ch.99 - Wisdom: Ego Integrity vs. Despair
Despite not being legless anymore, Lucario was still far from making progress. The Gallade's words echoed in his mind as he felt confused, trying his best not to come to terms with the absolutely last thing he wished to think about. In one final...
The Human Species Ch.98 - Love: Intimacy vs. Isolation
A shiver ran through Lucario as he poured the contents of yet another bottle down his throat. It had not even emptied out before he got up and staggered over to the next crate, fumbling about with another beer in his pursuit to get drunk as quickly as...
The Human Species Ch.97 - Purpose: Initiative vs. Guilt
"Get up, you drunken fool," a sinister and dry voice roused Lucario from his sleep. Something slender wrapped around his ears and pulled up his head from the crate, the pain heavily dulled by his inebriated state. Looking around to see who was being so...
The Human Species Ch.96 - Fidelity: Identity vs. Role Confusion
It was a shoddy mirror, for sure. Dirty, bent and cracked in the corner. Lucario didn't know why he expected better, being out in the wilderness and all. Of course, the biggest issue was that the mirror was somehow broken enough to be reflecting the...
The Human Species Ch.95x - Grade School Reminiscence
The moon was generous this night. A universal lighthouse that lit up the otherwise pitch black ocean to save countless boats and lives from the remorseless shoals, all while illuminating the surface of the sea and allowing eager Water-Pokémon to stay...
