JoshTheWriterhide bio
 Author has written 13 stories for Pokémon, and Stellaris. Hello, and welcome to the home of Salvation! Stellaris: Various sci-fi shorts that catch my attention. Logs and reports and the like, based off my more memorable moments and games. Likely dead for the moment, at least while I work on my pokemon fics. A Galaxy of Fire: A Stellaris inspired collaboration. Details a century of war in a dangerous galaxy. Definitely dead. My collaboration partners disappeared after 2 chapters. It was fun, but it's definitely dead. Salvation: Kanto stands divided, burning at the hands of the Dragon rising in the west. Gods will rise, and legends will be born. Medieval AU, based off the premise of Pokemon Conquest. Warrior Queen Spin-off of Salvation. Estimated 6 chapters in length. Romantic tragedy. Being rewritten to fit with the new version of Salvation. Still in progress. Won't be released until I'm happy with it. Might even be folded into Lance/Mira's arc in Salvation and scrapped entirely. The Heat of Battle: Red VS Gold. Who won? You decide! The Champions: A BW2 fic, based on an alternate ending where Ghetsis wins against the player character and takes control. Dark, gritty reality. Story is an interview of a former champion who fought in the resistance against Ghetsis. Chosen?: Morty always thought he was special. What if he was wrong? A story about misfits and destiny. Salvation has been a labour of love since my teenage years. Initially it was an Ash!Betrayed fic with a ridiculous amount of OP bullshit. However with some soul searching, I’ve decided that I really want to work on my writing. So, Salvation isn’t just some Fic that I’m writing to pass the time. I want to be a published author at some point, and the best way to do that is to practice. At the moment, I'm working on a few one-shots and shorts alongside Salvation to improve my writing. There might be a few surprises in the works! If you want to offer critique, leave a review or pm me! I’d love to hear from you. Josh, 24, Toronto |

For Ocean by peppygrowlithe reviews
Inspired by a night of reading at /r/Pokemonfanfiction, I wanted to try my own hand at a story in the Great Fic Writing contest.
