2015 PKMNWatties Best in Short Story "I remember that moment my siblings all curled up around me, their fur warm and soft, enough to make me sleepy and dreamy. I looked up at them, my little nose sniffling in the cold wind that rushed from the snowstorm happening outside. "You'll never leave me, right? We'll always be together?" I asked quietly, my voice echoing in the silence of the cave. They all stared profoundly at me, their eyes sincere and kind. All eight of them wore genuine smiles as they purred, rubbing themselves against me in a kind of calming manner. At first I worried they didn't hear me, until my eldest brother, the Alpha of our pack, Jolteon, came closer to me, pushing my little body closer to his. "There'll never be a moment with even a single Eeveelution short." I nestled closer to the safety of my brothers and sisters, my eyes just about shut in the warm company of my family. There was no way to predict what would happen in the future. There was no possible telling we would be together forever as a pack. But despite it all, I believed him. There was nine of us. And that's how it would always be. Or so I thought. You could never imagine how fast a promise could be broken. How quickly you could be pierced. And worse than it all, despite the long, painful years you wait, how some wounds never heal." ----- ~Cover by @AllHailRempire! It's literally the best cover I've seen in my entire life O: THANKS SO MUCH!~

We are the Pokémon, and we don't need you anymore. What started as an act of revenge, something so simple as getting back at the people that killed our trainer, became so much more than that...and now what? Well, now...we are leading a rebellion. [Book 1 in the We Are The Pokémon series]

a place to dump the one-shots i write. used to be mostly fanfiction, now mostly general fiction

As I write this letter to you, all I have to say is... I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I lied to all three of you. Living a life of lies has taught me that it comes with a price, and now I'm paying it. My name IS Rena Deveraux; that wasn't a lie. But I never wanted to be a Ranger... That's not why I was at the Ranger School. I am so, so sorry that I lied to you, but the truth is... I'm a thief. And you...you were my assignment, and I was to think of you as nothing more than that. It wasn't personal, I promise you. It was just business. I thought I could outrun the law my whole life and never get caught. Never did I once think that the law applied to me, or that my actions would catch up to me one day. It never crossed my mind...not even once. I was so confident, which made my downfall inevitable. I left my back turned for one second and I lost it all. No words can describe the feeling I get when I look at your face... That look of pain, and sadness... Your eyes are filled with nothing but hate and disdain when they meet my gaze. Honestly, I'm surprised that you haven't killed me for what I've done to you. I'm afraid this is the end, and I will never see you again. You can hate me for the rest of your life. I understand... What I did to you is unforgivable, and I don't deserve your forgiveness. I don't deserve to see your smile ever again. My biggest regret is that I will never get to properly say good-bye to you. So, I must do it in this letter. Good-bye, my Prince Charming. I will never forget you. Take care of Rhythimi and Isaac for me, and please...apologize to them on my behalf, since I can't do it myself. Oh, and one more thing, Keith. Assuming that you didn't just tear this letter up upon receiving it, I just wanted to say... I've told you a lot of lies since the moment we first met... But my feelings for you were never one of them. {Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia fanfiction; cover art was just photoshopped by me}

[1st place winner of the 2016 Pokemon Watty Awards Adventure Category] A few months have passed since the events of Pokemon White and Hilbert, a now jaded Hero of Unova is searching for a place in a world that is at peace. He sets off for the Kanto Region for a much needed break but in a twist of fate finds himself shipwrecked on an unfamiliar new land. Thousands of miles away from home, Hilbert is whisked away into a rip-roaring adventure that would test his wit, strength, and relationships with those close to him. Our hero will be plunged into a world of danger and deceit where he will meet new enemies, a possible love interest - and a deadly new plot that threatens to bring the world into an age of destruction. [This book is rated PG13, but its target audience are young adults 15 years and older] *Pokemon and the canon characters belong to Nintendo. The story, non-canon characters and the book cover belong to ME.*

The Soul family betrayed the Johto region; they are filthy fugitives and nothing more. To think they'd willingly house the notorious murderer, Gold Heart, was heartbreaking to the king. They deserved the death they faced, and Gold Heart deserved to be framed by the royal guards that killed them. Just knowing one boy under the Soul name escaped and is running free was disgusting. He was running free with a murdered doing who knows what. It was their fault that Johto was at war, that there was now East and West Johto marked by a distinct border. Now they and anyone who formed an alliance with them was a criminal sentenced to death. { Cover by the wonderful @VanillaWind! }

This is a book of oneshots, short stories, songfics and drabbles revolving around the PokeSpe characters! Although many of them will be about the main shippings, I may also write others if I feel that they will fit the storyline better. Also, I may kind-of bash some of the characters for the sake of the plot so please don't hate especially if it's a character you like. Please do not take everything seriously, lots of headcanon here! Please comment any requests you have and please read, comment and vote! My thanks to the awesome @izayoix for the new and improved cover!
