A fallen ex-biker, a snitch, a traitor-Jassen Korichnevy walks the streets of Kalos as a man without a place, exiled from Unova after cutting a deal that cost him everything. He sold out his gang for a freedom he never wanted, a trade paid in cold stares and the weight of unfinished business. Now, he drifts through cigarette smoke and regret, haunted by something lost-someone, maybe-and bound to a relentless Jolteon who refuses to leave his side. With no road left to call his own, he wanders through the neon-lit alleys and sun-bleached highways of a foreign land, unaware that what waits ahead may be more than just another dead end.
Fresh starts are never easy, what kind of life expects him in Kalos?

Pokémon Red
A 10-year-old boy, with a goal to become a Pokemon Champion, sets out on a journey across the Kanto Region. A journey charged with friendships, fun, and battles. Team Rocket, a criminal organization with disastrous plans is hiding mind-blowing secrets. Buckle up, cause it's going to be one hell of an adventure! Frequently Asked Questions: Q - What's special about this fanfiction? A - The books have an architectured story, from mysteries to time travel. From being awfully childish to brutally mature. Also, the protagonist ages. Q - Who are the Main Protagonists and the rivals? A - Red, a character from the Pokemon Video Games is the main protagonist along with his best friend Leaf. Whereas the character Blue (also known as Gary in the anime) is more of a frenemy than a rival. The main rivals would be Team Rocket Grunts - Cassidy and Butch as well as their Boss, Giovanni. Q - Is this story based on Pokemon Red or FireRed? A - The story has a few iconic moments from the games/manga but those events do not play a big part in the main story arc. Q - Is Ash Ketchum in it? A - The story takes place in its own universe. I try to bring some events from the games, the manga, and the anime. You get to see a different version of Ash Ketchum (close to how he has been depicted in the anime) in 2 chapters of this book. Q - Is Team Rocket the same as in the anime? A - While Cassidy and Butch are characters from the anime, they have a different overall character arc than in the anime. Team Rocket is darker than in any previous versions and has a purpose and a plan other than stealing. Giovanni's plan plays out slowly in the course of three books. Q - It has time travel? A - It does, time travel is hinted at in the first book with the actual "time traveling" in the second book. Q - "I hope the protagonist has a father, hahaha" A - Yes, he does. The character mostly appears in flashbacks but is an important character.Complete

Twins of kalos (5th place in Adventure) PWA 2018
Rated R Includes the following: Bad language, violence, murder, blood, drugs, black market, gangs, etc. Since the very beginning, Serena and I were the best of friends and adored one another. We both would do anything for each other. A divorce between our parents tear us apart, having Serena leave to Kalos while I stayed behind to take care of our dad in Sinnoh Years later, I grew up in a bad environment during my teenage years, where I learned how to toughen up and become aggressive towards anyone. A simple death glare was enough to make anyone cower. The reason why I couldn't leave Sinnoh was a secret I didn't want to share with anyone, but when I stopped feeling Serena's aura, I knew something was wrong and had to head to Kalos, where I hoped to not only find my perhaps kidnapped sister, but find myself in the journey up ahead and hope I can at least be the normal person I wish I can be When arriving to Kalos, I wanted to hide my appearance as much as possible. There was a certain someone I couldn't hide anything from, from how easily he can read me... he's a mysterious character and a friend of Serena. Meeting him, there was something I felt in me that I normally never feel around anyone else. He's someone quite familiar, and the longer I get to know him, the more I can see how early obsessed he became towards me A/N: I'm sorry! I really suck at making descriptions!

Pokémon: Out of the Woods | A Galar, Unova & Sinnoh Fanfiction
N's son Neptune has long accepted that his own son died in tragic circumstances. So when he gets an unexpected call from a stranger in Galar, claiming that his son is alive and well, he doesn't know what to think. This unidentified man also claims to be a member of the criminal syndicate Cipher. It's suspected that they aided Team Plasma's last revival, but why would even Team Plasma know the location of a baby who supposedly drowned when he was only one week old? Naturally, Neptune and his friends want to find out for themselves, but this is an International Police issue as well as a personal one. They send two promising young officers, Triton and Sam, but that won't be enough. They also enlist the help of a woman from Orre, Heather. She's a bounty hunter, hacker, frighteningly strong Trainer and most importantly, she can see the auras of Shadow Pokémon - which may well be necessary if Team Plasma and Cipher really are working together. Evil teams aren't the only enemies awaiting these young heroes in Galar. Heather thinks she's seen it all. She thinks she's immune to falling in love, but a mysterious and eccentric young man might just prove otherwise... and it might just impact the investigation. Not to mention the appearance of a maniac from 300 years ago... ★★★ CW: Rated mature for language, violence and overcoming abuse.

Bloodstone 5. Obsidian 6. Azurite 7. Turquoise 8. This story 9. Mars 10. Mars 2/Hour Before Dawn This story also spoilers parts of Pokémon Legends: Arceus.Complete
