Pokémon Mars 2
People and Pokémon have terraformed Mars. Their new challenge is to turn it into a world that anyone would want to live in. Six astronauts, who survived the battle for Mars against the criminal syndicate Cipher, have planned the Harmony project. It aims to introduce four things: wild Pokémon, a Pokémon League, Battle Frontier and Pokémon Contests. Two key members of Cipher escaped, however. They want Mars more than ever now it's terraformed. Team Plasma are also out there somewhere. The battle for survival isn't over yet. --------------------------------------------- ⚠️ Rated mature for language and violence. 🕑 Timeline: 267 years after Legends: Arceus, 106 years after Red/Blue, 101 years after Black/White, 93 years after Sword/Shield, 31 years after Out of the Woods (my last story). 🧑 Characters are descendants of N, Leon, Blue, Archie, Maxie, Sonia, Wes, Barry, Ghetsis, Volo and more. There's also a very brave Hisuian Zorua. This is a sequel to Pokémon Mars. References to the past will be explained, but I'd recommend reading the first story before this one. I'd also recommend reading my other stories to get familiar with all the OCs and pairings.

The Kaleidoscope Effect
When astronaut Nova Vance crash-lands on an uncharted planet, she finds herself thrust into an alien world unlike anything humanity has ever encountered. The planet's surface shimmers with impossible colors, its atmosphere teeming with energy that defies explanation. But the deeper mystery lies within Nova herself. As soon as she awakens, her perceptions begin to unravel. Vivid hallucinations blur the line between reality and imagination, and the planet seems to respond to her presence, its strange environment shifting and coming alive in ways she cannot comprehend. When a telepathic alien guide emerges, offering cryptic insights into the planet's collective consciousness, Nova must decide whether to trust the alien-or her own fractured mind. Is the planet trying to communicate? Or is she losing her grip on reality, the victim of an otherworldly neurochemical influence? In a journey that defies logic and bends time, Nova ventures deeper into the planet's mysteries, confronting her own fears, memories, and the nature of existence itself. By the time she returns to orbit, one question will remain: was any of it real? A mind-bending tale of survival and first contact, The Kaleidoscope Effect explores the boundaries of perception, the nature of consciousness, and the infinite possibilities of the unknown.Complete
SmackDown: Back to Our Roots
Our previous two SmackDowns were both massive successes, and it's high time for another. You might remember the last one was heavy on the "game" elements, maybe even too heavy. This time we're going back to the basics and keeping it simple. It's just a motherfuckin' sci-fi SmackDown: a heated writing contest where contestants are given text-, music- and visual-based prompts, and then they need to write a short story around that, following which they're judged for their efforts and either move on to the next round or they get eliminated from the competition. But there's gotta be some kind of twist, right? For this one we're waxing nostalgic, we're looking back into our past. We're going back to our roots.Complete
White Crystal Butterflies | Wattys 2021 Shortlist | ✔
❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
