Winner of The Hoot Awards 2017 I slip my head back inside and try to gather my thoughts. Here's what I know: my house is on fire, firemen are here and not putting it out, and I'm alive for now. What I don't know: why the firemen aren't putting out the fire, how this happened, and if my family is okay. One more thing tickles the back of my brain. Something is horribly wrong here, and it's not the fire. I'm lightheaded as I realize the obvious: Steel Blaze isn't here. My house is burning to the ground, I don't know if my family is safe, and I'm not even sure if I'm going to be alive to kill Will at the moment. Steel, the one person I need to save me, is not here. I bite my lip. If he's not here now, I'm sure he's not coming. This isn't your regular superhero story. Beautiful cover made by @MayTijssen

[fan cover made by @Serena-Daniels! thanks so much!] Leaf Green, a spunky and ambitious girl, took up the challenge to complete the Pokédex, travel through the region, earn badges, and better yet -- become a legend. The trainer was ever so daring to accept a dangerous, vein-exploding task but instead of being as craven from her still dependent stage of age, her adolescent self shrunk and she roused to be more self-reliant. The girl's journey was quite decent in a way, romance and drama come in her way. Though in spite of all, she was able to focus into her quest. Oddly enough, Leaf was spontaneously receiving voices or visions in her head with no prior knowledge of what or who was sending these impulses. "Become a legend to rescue who's fallen." And that is what she dares to unravel. [humor, romance, implicit maybe dark]

Wand at the ready, Sirius moved to the pillow, and threw it across the room. There, under the pillow was a baby girl.
