I'll go ahead and save you the unnecessary suspense: by the time you catch up to where I am, I will have eight gym badges, defeated my rival five times, and failed precisely once in my mostly-futile bid to give my homeland back to her people. Also, I'll be dead. Presented for your entertainment is the not-so-short story of how I burned Johto to the ground.

Being a Trainer is a challenge. You have to put a lot of effort and love into raising your Pokemon. Most people think it's hard work. But not Zoey. She's ready to face this challenge, and many more to come. Some fluff. Rated T for safety.

Independence: the ability to thrive without the aid of others. But just because you can doesn't mean it isn't a lonely road.

Ree Majors issues a challenge to herself: get eight Unovan badges in under a year. Fifth time's the charm, right? But she's not really cut out for training, not like her boyfriend or her sister, and it's not like she can rely on anyone but herself. And her pokemon, she should probably remember that it's a team effort. So they can go on a wonderful* journey together. (*not at all)

You travel to the ends of the earth for her, yet no matter where you look, you just can't find her. (One-shot for Pokémon Bank.)

He is one of the greatest trainers the Awani Region has laid eyes on. He just doesn't know it yet. Rated T for language and other stuff.

A scyther is captured, and she hates it - right up until she doesn't. Whether this is a good thing or not depends on who you ask.

Trainers aren't supposed to have favorites, but you were my favorite. And then you started losing.

For some people, training isn't easy. For some people, training is beyond easy. Unfortunately, for me, training is beyond hard. Double weaknesses, attacked by wild Pokemon, mistrust of trainers, and much more. I just CAN'T catch a break, can I?

At that moment, Cynthia knows she is about to lose to Dawn. And, to quote Lance, it's an odd feeling.

A Pokemon trainer and a Gym Leader walk into a bar. Ash and Misty, ten years down the line and neck-deep in things too awkward to say. AAML, futurefic, romance/humor/angst/general wtfery.

A Cubone's POV. They are never truly alone.

In the fandom of Pokemon, some characters are badly portrayed, laws of the realm are clearly denied, and inconsistencies run rampant through poorly written stories. Don't worry, fair readers, I'm here to help. Innuendos and very coarse language.

Lydia Talon, deprived of a mother and raised by her Pokemon hating father, finds an injured Pokemon in her dead mother's garden and must find the courage to go foward. And in so doing, she finds friends and adventure beyond her wildest dreams.
