Double release today to celebrate chapter 200!
YAY!!!

Nina breathed in the fragrant spring air as Nairy glided through the twilight skies. Her partner was going at a sedate pace owing to the fact that he was holding onto Collin in a Fly Basket below.
The girl had asked the hiker man if he would like to go back to the city with them at the end of the day. And althoug...

I went and formatted this chapter like how it was before because some parts of it look weird with just a single line of spacing between paragraphs.
I'll do the same with other similar chapters in the future as well.

But then again, I suppose I’m gonna need a Magnemite at some point anyway. Ohhh… I know! Aggron! Those guys are freaking cool — who cares if they cost a fortune to maintain.” Anything was better than having every single Gym Leader pull Fairy Types out of their a...

The scene for Brucey's Evolution has been in my head for some time now, so it didn't take much to adapt it into this chapter. Got it done in record time.
Originally, it was supposed to take place later down the line. But as @Theredscare77 said, it seemed right to have him do it now. So thank you for the comment, it was very helpful. Sometimes I get too tunnel visioned that I miss the obvious.
The gener...
2025-08-23 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostEDIT:
I've decided to do a quick rewrite of this chapter after seeing @Theredscare77's comments.
This will be an important rewrite and I'll make sure to release it by today. So for now, please hold off on reading too much into this chapter.
Despite a fresh coating of Fairy Type Energy to reinforce it, Espy’s Psychic barrier flickered precariously at every bolt of Darkness that str...

Nina watched as the movement of the Bellsprout slowed from Freeze and her little baby seal slammed into it like a deadly ballerina covered in jagged ice.
The Trial of Ascension that Falkner got Nina set up on turned out to be a gift that kept on giving since she could keep coming back to challenge it every...

Something that I forgot to mention in the chapter 186 rewrite. I made some edits to chapter 185 as well. Just some minor details, not worth rereading.
So heres'a TLDR; I changed the drones that Kerry and the nurses used to scan the Aerodactyl in that medical scene to Magnemites instead. Specifically, Magnemites wearing little armaments with lenses at the front that makes use of the Magnet Pokemon's inherent...

This is the chapter where Espy battled a Tyranitar
I was reviewing this chapter before the public release and came to the conclusion that I was really, really unhappy with it.
So I did a quick rewrite.
Most of what's changed is the battle itself.
I made it so that the Tyranitar seemed more fearsome and powerful (hopefully). And better showcased more of Espy's Fairy Type moves. In particula...

“Wak.” Kaipo the Marowak nodded.
“What do you say, Kerry? Would that be okay with you?” Nina asked.
The young Nurse Joy chuckled. “Sure, why not? Kaipo’s willing and you’ve been helping me out a lot with my Pokemons’ training.”
Nina cheered. It was the night of the Alolan Mar...

Nina was currently in a musky old room within the Sprout Tower, studying under candlelight. Because although Zuki couldn’t suay her brother, she did have enough pull to get Nina access to the monk’s repository of knowledge — the less important part of it at least.

Chapter 200!!!!!!!!!!
To celebrate, I've got a double release for you all today. With Ch 201 being a double length chapter as well.
Also, thank you to everyone who voted in the poll last time. It hasn't technically ended yet but the results seem to be an overwhelming no for now. So we'll continue with the current release format.
Quite surprising, honestly. But it does warm my heart.
“Hehe…” Kerry held back her drool as she cooed over the Pokemon Egg in her arms. Which, surprisingly, was not in an incubator, just wrapped up in a fluffy blanket.
It was the next morning and Kerry was finally introduced to the newest member of her family, mainly because she ended up having to do a lot of socializing with her extended family yesterday and was too exhausted by the end of it.

Nina frowned. If she recalled correctly, there should have been 26 Unown representing the English alphabet, in addition to the exclamation and question mark Unowns — the two outliers — for a total of 28 Unown variants.
“27, is that the number of all known Unowns so far?” The girl asked the manic rese...

2025-08-11 11:01:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Alright, Nitey. Time to get serious.”
Nina’s mind had been in complete disarray recently. There were simply too many mysteries to solve and not enough answers for her liking.
So she decided to just tackle things one at a time. Her most immediate goal was to train up her team to face Falkner at his Gym and whatever awaited her in Ilex Forest.
Then, there was the Mew Gem, which meant v...
2025-08-11 11:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostNina furrowed her brows in frustration.
“Take to the air, Gastly! Keep away from melee range!”
Gastly attempted to do as she was told, but faltered midway from the oppressive willpower of the Bellsprout, filled with fervent killing intent.
The first ten or so rounds had been a breeze with Gastly barely breaking a sweat. If Ghosts were even capable of sweating. ...
