It hadn’t broken through my shields as much as it had just completely ignored them. It was casual and simple, and considering I couldn’t hear anything anymore, I’d guess he was doing the same thing to everyone here. The fact that Sabrina was also h...

My family was fucking insane, same with Indigo as a whole, and from this sudden attack from Sinnoh, we weren’t alone in the insanity. I’d been reborn in a world where everyone was either insane or an idiot, or in rare cases, a combination of both. It tired and wore at me constantly that the basic thin...

I mean I’d never expected the petty old man to interfere in an attack on the strongest of the cities. After all, Blackthorne had most strongly opposed his reign as champion and Oak could hold a grudge like no one I’d met before.

Oh look, a chess tournament, I thought to myself as I opened one of my favourite discord servers. It had quite a few of the more powerful trainers in the region, with Bruno being the main attraction. Of course, it was invite only and I still had no idea why I’d been sent one. It’s not like I contribu...
2023-03-11 06:55:12 +0000 UTC View PostAnd that explained why I sat on the bench in the playground outside the school. The principal had been called in to deal with me when a few of the teachers had noticed me loitering about. That had been one hell of an awkward conversation.

“Let’s kick this up a notch, shall we?” I asked my team and Igneel’s roar was all the answer I needed. Let’s go. Igneel was surrounded by bright blue flames, his firepower being further heightened by the sunny day floating near the ceiling. Gai’s power rose too, as he entered what I’d begun to call the first gate. A mixture of belly drum, and dragon ...

Garchomp’s mega evolution was every bit as breathtaking as we all expected it to be. Not like there was much breathing going on when the evolution took place though.

Her dance was much slower and more elaborate than Lucian’s. Drawing out every movement and twist to make sure she got everything perfectly. That was who Bertha was as a person, and I could see Camerupt tracking her with his eyes as he began to glow. His evolution was slow. Slower than Medi’s and much more gradual. When the light died down, our breath was taken away once more. The two humps ...

“What’re you looking at me for?” My brother asked in a high-pitched voice and I resisted the urge to facepalm.
