THE ACE TRAINER
Something about the pokemon across from me rubbed me the wrong way. It wasn’t just its obvious psychic power. Something else about it rubbed me the wrong way. It wasn’t enough for it to clearly be the strongest psychic I’ve ever seen, it was something more than that. All my instincts were going haywire, and ACE training was clear. Instincts are our subconscious’ wa...
2022-12-10 14:55:20 +0000 UTC View PostSix days since I claimed Arrax, and I still hadn’t been able to do the ritual. Whenever I came close to doing it, something always talked me out of it. My mind was the only special thing about me. Would I really want to risk that for a vague physical advantage? Meagor could get away with madness, but I was already a bastard, hated as a spawn of lust and sin. Very few people needed an excuse t...

I claimed an early evolution of one of the Lucario for myself. Practically a baby-pokemon with how small it was. That was good though. It meant I’d be spending less time beating stubbornness out of it and more time training it to become a useful member of my team. That wasn’t all we came here for though. After the battle in the forest, we’d been hurried off back i...
2022-11-27 14:16:46 +0000 UTC View Post‘Daemon was right’, I thought, as Arrax and I flew through the skies. Flying was definitely different when you were the one in control. Flying on The Blood Wyrm’s back with Daemon in control was miles different from being the one to direct The Cannibal through the sky. He barely listened, but I could give him a few directives through our bond and he considered them before decided if he wa...
2022-11-25 04:55:41 +0000 UTC View PostCinnabar was a true tourist trap. Since I’d left the challenge with Blaine, I’d spent my time simply wandering around the Island after dropping my pokemon off at the Silph research centre. There were two things I could have been doing right now. I could either take team members I had left with me on a training session for the few hours I had to wait just waste all the time browsing the vari...

We have the homegrown favourite, Draco Malfoy” Bagman stopped to allow the crowd to run wild. I looked around me at that. Stands filled to the brim with students of Hogwarts, and magical monitoring devices spinning about the stadium to broadcast everything that happened a...
2022-11-16 04:55:49 +0000 UTC View PostAfter all that hype, I found myself somewhat excited to see the last pokemon he was going to unleash on the field. Both the Arcanine and Magmar had been monsters. While the thought of facing a third pokemon of that level didn’t bode well for my chances of leaving here with a gym badge, it still excited me. This was what I’d become a trainer for, after all, wasn’t it? This thrill. Placing ...
2022-11-14 16:51:21 +0000 UTC View PostI was unsurprised by the way the Arcanine managed to land on its feet and still dodge Kenpachi’s move in the next second. My psuedo-lengendary monster didn’t waste any time in tearing the field apart with a second earthquake. Whatever advantage the Arcanine had was being swiftly dismantled with successive earthquakes. It proved its role as an elite pokemon by somehow manoeuvring throu...
2022-11-14 16:49:40 +0000 UTC View PostFluer Delacour was a skilled duellist, and she’d clearly been preparing for this. This might have mattered to her more than I’d previously thought. Her spells, her tactics, her power. There was a certain brutality to her movements and strategies that intrigued me.
It was all for naught, though. As skilled as she was, I was just a few notches too skilled for her. Lucius’ power being ...
2022-11-09 04:42:10 +0000 UTC View Post“Aegon, Son of Prince Daemon Targaryen” I smiled as I rode into the field. Once again, my father’s influence on things brought me great amusement. The man hated the name ‘waters’ with a deep passion, and it took no time for people to figure that one out. After all, there was only so many people that could taste Dark Sister’s kiss before the rest would figure out what to do and not t...
2022-11-08 10:58:34 +0000 UTC View PostDaemon smiled at his neice as his handed over the dragon egg. It was a massive thing to be honest, an egg fit for a king, more than enough for the child he knew was growing in his whore’s belly, but he hadn’t taken it for that. He’d taken it to bring them here. Viserys thought he could exile and then ignore his own brother. They’d grown up together. He still remembered the promise he an...

2022-10-26 10:48:50 +0000 UTC View PostTo be completely honest, I have no idea where to take this one anymore. I don’t want to spoil things by having the ending be a complete disappointment, so I’ll take a break from it. I’m sure some of you already saw the signs in how long it was taking me to even finish a single chapter.
Now, the question is, where do we go from here?
I’ll be starting a new story in this same ...

The firestorm spell Dumbledore had used in the sixth book was only half of the one Armand was trying to ...
2022-10-20 12:02:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Snorlax, tank it and mega punch” I shouted to my pokemon as I watched a burly Dragonite slam into him with a dragon rush. Of course, the dragon type was holding back. It was the only way for this to even resemble a fair matchup, and we were still getting toasted.
Igneel intervened by burying both pokemon in an avalanche of flames. Snorlax took the attack with only a huff and the Drag...
2022-10-18 21:17:30 +0000 UTC View Post“If you’re done gawking, boy, you can tell me what happened to Lucius?” I stared at the portrait of the man who had to be my ancestor and tried to come up with a reply. Maybe it was a bit reckless of me, but I didn’t feel like lying right now. I’d had enough of that. Perhaps I just wanted to be able to say it out loud.
“I killed him. Used him in a ritual and devoured his essen...
2022-10-09 15:45:50 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up in a bed that had become extremely familiar to Donnell in his younger days. I could tell where I was simply from the feel of the foam beneath me. The lab on the first floor. Oak’s private lab that had also doubled as a hospital room for me in my younger days.
I wondered why I was here for a few minutes before it all came rushing in. I felt myself choke as tears built on my eye...
2022-10-09 05:48:22 +0000 UTC View PostI turned to look at the envoy in front of me. Sitting on my throne was one of the last things I’d wanted to do after the afternoon I had, but what must be done had to be done. I was dressed in my Valyrian Steel armour. The message I was trying to clear was obvious. I had no interest in adapting to the free cities. They’d either adapt to me or find themselves consumed in flames.

2022-10-02 16:47:08 +0000 UTC View PostLucius’s will was to be read today, which was a huge problem for me. Why? Because I still didn’t have my NEWT results. I’d spoken to Fudge on the day I wrote the exams to see if he could hurry things up and he’d promisded to try his best, but I still haven’t heard back from him so far. Even at the funeral, he’d assured me that he was still working on it.
I knew the Wizarding E...
2022-10-01 11:38:50 +0000 UTC View PostMy choice ought to have been obvious from the beginning. The first pokemon was an obvious steel type so Igneel had that covered. The second was a dragon/dark type, so my choice was even more obvious. Tsunade. She wasn’t experienced enough that I felt completely comfortable, but she would have way too many advantages for me to sideline her in this battle.
She appeared in the cle...
2022-09-29 22:04:16 +0000 UTC View PostApparently, they didn’t have anything worth anything to offer. The golden company captain was the one to do most of the speaking and his offer was less than nothing. The city of Meereen was willing to give me five million in gold to turn around and never return.
After I’d already decimated their sellsword army? The offer might as well have been an insult. It was clear that the other s...

My first choice was obvious. I had no idea what was going on here but this pokemon would fall before my team like every other challenge we’d faced so far. An all-p...
2022-09-20 08:51:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe ball was still being talked about, even today, over two weeks later. I couldn’t blame anyone though. The attack had fundamentally changed wizarding Britain in myriad ways.
The boy-who-lived, Harry Potter, a national icon, was missing. Presumed dead if what the grapevine said was accurate. With my knowledge of canon, the best guess I had of what had happened was that Barty Crouch Jun...
2022-09-20 07:55:07 +0000 UTC View PostOWLS were some of the hardest exams the average wizard would ever sit. So I wasn’t surprised when my father expressed hesitance about allowing me to sit the exams so early. While passing at such a relatively young age would be exceptional, failing would indicate that I had no ability to accurately gauge my own abilities.
“Father, I’m ready. I’ve studied for this. I’m a Malfoy; I...
2022-09-13 20:27:21 +0000 UTC View PostA few miles away from Celadon city, I decided to make camp for the day and meet my new teammates while there was still light out. The first one I sent out was the one the pokedex could recognize. My instincts told me this was the one that was intended to be given out to the winner of the tournament. Simply because Silph would never just give out a pokemon not on the pokedex.
I took a deep...

2022-09-12 10:44:15 +0000 UTC View PostI sat in the room of requirements with a scowl on my face. Lucius had deemed it fit to send me a letter with instructions on conducting myself at the ball. Narcissa had also sent over the robes I would be wearing.

2022-09-05 21:55:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe battle between Kenpachi and the pidgeotto was too short to be notable. The bird gave a valiant effort, but even a thousand brave birds would have no chance of breaching Kenpachi’s armour. At the end of the day, It was a battle decided before it even began. The Pidgeotto even evolved into a Pidgeot at the ending stretch of the fight, but it was too little and came far too late. 2022-09-05 21:52:18 +0000 UTC View Post
I sat across from the Triarchs. The rulers of Volantis. The democratically elected rulers of the largest and most prosperous of the free city.

2022-09-05 21:50:18 +0000 UTC View PostVolantis had decided to exercise their fundamental right to stupidity and declared war on me. Terrible choice, in my opinion.

They thought everyone from Westeros to be an uncultured barbarian, and my actions were ...
