A drabble collection of the sort of pokemon world lore you might find in an expanded version of the pokedex.

Pokemon training was never her choice, but when Sienna finds her mum gone, claiming to be chasing her dad, she discovers the path of a trainer is now inevitable. Partnered up with a feisty Mareep and a plethora of other 'spirited' Pokemon, Sienna seeks out revenge on her violent estranged father. But the sinister plot she uncovers proves a doorway for something entirely unexpected.

One of my earliest memories is of my cousin showing me his team, and telling me how he'd found each one. For years after that, my starter and I would play trainer: she'd pretend to be something majestic and rare, and I'd be the awesome trainer who would catch her and show her the value of human friendship. In hindsight, I had no idea what being a trainer is actually like.

Training Pokémon is a complicated, highly involved task. As a veteran trainer, Alexander knows this better than most. Compared with teaching the process to a greenhorn? It's a walk in the park.

Thirteen-year-old Hayley is keen on becoming a Pokemon master. She didn't count on getting a rebellious fire hazard as a starter Pokemon, the class weirdo as a training partner, or a pair of crazy ecoterrorists as her personal rivals, but, well—what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And in the world of training, that's starting to look very literal. [OT, Hoenn, post-ORAS]

One by one, I witness the fall of myths, of legends, of gods. As the world mourns and falls apart, I can't help but wonder if I'm the cause or the coincidence.

Lysandre's weapon was fired. Something went wrong. The world has changed forever and no one is certain if it's for the better or worse. A Worm inspired story.

This is not a happy tale. The story I am going to tell is about breaking, about choices, about truth, about power, about loss, about strength, about growth, about defining love, about revenge, about time, about the dark and what it means to let it consume you. This is my story. You may wish to get comfortable: it's going to be a long one. OT fic

This is the story of a new trainer who must survive his new life as a Pokemon trainer and leave the life that he has known behind. Watch as he struggles through a Pokemon world unlike any that you know. AU Pokemon World.

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)

A game is made so much more interesting when lives are at stake. Leaf, a fierce girl from Kanto, taught to be self-reliant, realizes that Pokemon are more than tools, and being a trainer is not like being a gunslinger. These bullets die. A Nuzlocke Story.

Death. War. Destruction. The world of the future lies in ruins. I got the chance to go back and stop it from ever happening, only to discover that I was the cause. This is how I destroyed the world.

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?
