Clair stormed into Lance’s office, ignoring the concerned looks of the security guards that let her through. She had visited Lance’s office enough that they didn’t need to verify who she was any more.
Although this time she was considerably more aggravated.
“Did you see this?!” She demanded at her cousin...

It was the week after the grand reveal of the Grand Fountain Hall when I had received the good news from Oak; it was finally time to reveal the Fairy type to the world.
I had already done plenty of preparations in preparation for this event. I had personally attended many meetings with Mayor Henry to ensure that Mt. Moon w...

Although they had decided to visit the Safari Zone, they had chosen to take the slower, but more scenic route to get there. They were not in any rush anyways; since there was no pressure for them to challenge the Indigo Conference, not with their meagre experience, so they could afford to take the time to explore and see th...

“Okay, is everyone ready for the night?” She asked with a smile, trying to conceal her tiredness as she addressed the youngest of Brock’s siblings.
“Yesh!” The little ones replied with toothy grins. With a satisfied smile, she playfully chased after them as she escorted them to bed.
She didn’t have to ...

Not wanting to accidentally forget about it, I called to double check with Oak as soon as I woke up the very next day to check that I could actually speak to Lance about it. He quickly gave his approval and mentioned that he had already spoken to Carolina as well, who was also okay with it. He further informed me that he was lo...

The grand opening of the Grand Fountain Hall turned out to be a great success, much to the happiness of mayor Henry. He practically had his next election in the bag just by riding on the coattails of this success. Personally, I was happy for his re-election. I felt that that the two of us had an understanding and were willin...

Yesterday was so cool, Misty decided as she skipped around the Gym. All of the performances, both from her sisters and the others, were just so awesome to watch! She knew Water types were cool, but she never knew that all the other types had such potential to fire off so many bright colours as well!
Of course, her siste...

To the public, and to even most high-ranking individual within the League, the next few days were one that were filled with the usual normality of life. To them, everything was the same. There were no threats to Indigo, and there certainly was not the possibility of a world-ending threat around the corner.
Naturally, as ...

Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay for much longer after Karen and Steven had finished up with their match, as enough time had passed that I had to head to my next appointment with mayor Henry.
That meeting went far smoother than I had hoped. When I asked about how we managed to get Mt. Moon under the authority of Cerulea...

Steven let out a huge yawn as he got back to his hotel room, a pleasant sense of exhaustion coursing through him after today’s magnificent battle against Karen. He knew that they were both holding back, but she was excellent practice for him for his eventual battle against Sidney when he returned to Hoenn.
He wasn’...

I woke up slightly later than I usually did as I finally refilled my energies after all my hard work in Hoenn. Once I was suitably refreshed, I enjoyed a quick but pleasant breakfast with my parents, where I spent most of the time relaying my ‘adventures’ in Hoenn to them and reassuring them that I wasn’t in any real...

The rest of the trip back to Indigo was pleasantly uneventful. I managed to get some sleep, and time quickly passed as we eventually arrived back at Olivine. As we were about to dock, I noticed that a small welcoming party had arrayed themselves at the pier, with Lance’s signature cape being distinct enough to make out even at a ...

“Brock, could you come over here please?” Karen’s voice came out from her office. And it was HER office, even if she was only here temporarily. She had done so much for the Gym in the past few weeks, making sure that it was no longer the dilapidated Gym that it was once known as. She easily deserved that distinction ma...

I soon found that staying on a moving ship filled to the brim with potentially dangerous prisoners was far less exciting than I expected. In fact, it was just as boring as a multi-hour cruise with no access to the internet. In other words, a dull pain in the ass.
The prisoners weren’t in any position to break out. ...

If there was one thing that Whitney was smugly superior about, it was the fact that she didn’t get seasick. Nor did Janine, for that matter. And yet, their resident ‘genius’ psychic, who had recently gotten a little too big for her boots, had barely survived their short journey by boat from Vermillion to Olivine.

Fortunately, the attack at Mt Pyre seemed to be the ‘last hurrah’ for the grunts. Between their doomed assault and their failed ambush, that seemed to have used up whatever remained of their fighting strength left.
That didn’t mean our job had become that much easier, though. Throughout the next week, we continued to rai...

The directors at Silph Co. all fell silent as he stalked into the meeting room like he owned the place. And, technically, he did. Though not everyone knew that.
Giovanni paused as he walked in, allowing himself to bask in the power that he had over these men for just a brief moment, before he casually sat down at the...

Allowing Port to rest, this time I travelled on Zephyr as he flew over to Mt. Pyre. We prioritised speed over anything else, as I was determined to arrive before the grunts launched their assault. My Pokémon were not in the best condition, but at least this time we were going to be fighting on solid ground, where I could prop...

We made use of the time where the Jennys were parsing through all of our collected information to rest up. Drake and I knew we were going to be pushing our Pokémon very hard over the next few days, so we cherished any available time to take a break.

It was a momentous realization. To think that, for whatever reason, Team Galactic had gotten involved with the evil teams in Hoenn. It horrified me to imagine all of the evil teams working together under a common goal, and I instinctively wanted to scream and panic.
But before I made a fool of myself, Drake bumped me on the sho...

As soon as I got the notification that the raid was taking place, I rushed out of my hiding spot in Lilycove and jumped onto Zephyr’s back as we rapidly made our way to Mt Pyre. I knew that Drake was doing the same from Sootopolis City.

As soon as I read the title of the news report, my mind began whirling a mile a minute as I tried to process the consequences. I didn’t believe for a moment that Silph Co. would be behind such an attack; it would be far too daring and out of character for them. Nor would they bother trying to steal the Porygon research; it was...

I had a lot of time to think while I was flying over to Hoenn on Port. Namely, what did I think the goal of Team Rocket was when they made this attack on Devon Corp? Drake had said that he felt that there was more to this than just some random attack, and I agreed wholeheartedly with his analysis.

Drake had rushed over to Devon Corp as soon as he heard about the attack.

A couple of shareholders may have complained, but Joseph seemed keen to find the truth.
