Thorns and Starlight
An all-ages tale of survival, friendship, and a forbidden spark beneath the forest canopy.
Abandoned at the age of five, Pixie has spent her life surviving in the depths of the wild forest, sharpening her instincts and her blades in equal measure. The trees have been her shelter, the shadows her teachers. She trusts no one-until she meets Star, a soft-spoken wanderer with a mysterious past and a light in his eyes that feels like home.
As the two forge an unlikely friendship, their bond deepens into something neither of them dares to name. But the forest holds secrets older than either of them, and danger stirs beneath the soil. When fate pulls them into a journey beyond the trees, Pixie must choose between the armor she's built and the heart she's hidden.

pokemon Twilight Journey (Revesve )
Time. Space. Reality. Sometimes, even the smallest changes can reshape everything you know. In this twisted retelling of Ash Ketchum's story, a single decision creates a ripple that changes his life - and the world around him - forever. The story begins not when Ash turns 10, but when he is just five years old, attending the Pallet Town summer camp. But unlike the familiar tale, this time it isn't Ash who helps Serena when she gets lost - it's Gary Oak. From that moment, their fates begin to diverge. Serena grows close to Gary, and their bond strengthens through kindness and shared moments. Ash, left on the sidelines, watches as his chance for friendship slips further away. Lonely and overlooked, Ash finds an unexpected companion in Pikachu - a Pokémon who, like him, carries the weight of betrayal. Their shared pain creates a connection deeper than words, and together they forge a bond rooted in trust and survival. But even with Pikachu by his side, Ash's bitterness grows. The laughter and warmth of others seem distant, and every promise made to him is broken. As the years pass, the scars of loneliness shape Ash into someone very different from the eager, optimistic boy we once knew. By the time his journey as a Pokémon Trainer begins, his heart is already hardened. His desire to become a Pokémon Master remains - but his reasons are darker, driven by a need to prove his worth to a world that left him behind. Meanwhile, Gary Oak becomes the heart of this new tale - not as Ash's rival, but as its true hero. Though confident and talented, Gary carries his own regrets, haunted by the knowledge that he failed to reach out to Ash when it mattered most. As Gary travels alongside Serena and builds his own legend, he finds himself walking a fine line between his dreams and the shadow of his old friend's growing darkness.
