Chapter 32: Day 13, Part 2 - Clocking Out You know, I'm wondering why I'm even entertaining this. I was already standing on the sidelines of the courtyard, surrounded by nosy onlookers. Just a few minutes prior, the Wartortle on the other side of the courtyard had challenged me to a fight. The little scene we caused attracted a bit of an audience. That extra buzz along with the fact that I was in the courtyard at all were the reasons why my fists were clenched hard enough to make myself wince.…-

Chapter 31: Day 13, Part 1 - Hats off Fenn had never seen water this dirty. Something about the murkiness of the dark liquid was fascinating to the Quilava. It was a slurry concoction of waste from both the sea and port he was sitting on—all of which made it hard to see past the surface. The dark and gloomy clouds above helped coat the water with this deep blackness that was downright imposing. Fenn didn't care to take a swim on most days, but the thought of swimming in water as putrid as this left a…

Chapter 30.5 - Team Lavender goes roller skating "The castle has a roller rink?" I felt pretty stupid asking that when I was literally staring at Kebia Castle's supposed social hotspot "The Royal Skate." Especially when it looked just like the kinds of roller rinks I'd have back in my old life I…vaguely remembered what those were like, weirdly enough. This one in particular had a flashy, rainbow colored carpet decorated with stitched-on swirls, stars, and streamers. The kind of carpet that would…

Chapter 30 - Day 12, Part 4: Clay Figures Niniku Cave: 1st Floor Bleh! Dungeon moisture. Of course. Ricinus could already tell that Niniku Cave was one of the more peculiar ones. Right off the bat the humidity was high, and the scent was damp like mold or mildew. Furred pokemon like him and Aven were not well suited for such an environment. The moisture in the air was enough to make the Sylveon curl his toes in disgust. His "companions" did not display the same unease. Shasta was…

Chapter 29 - Day 12, Part 3: The Charming Prince A couple days prior, on the tenth day… Lord Filliandile had made a fatal mistake. His army was massive, well trained for this kind of combat, and considerably disciplined. By all accounts, his army should have the capability to surpass even the toughest of strongholds, surrounded by nothing more than a deep trench and backed by rocky mountains. And yet, his forces failed to get far. The battle for Jouryen was lost. Why was that? Even when it was…

Chapter 28 - Day 12, Part 2: Cloudiness I tend to forget that this world used to belong to humans. It all seemed to blend together—what with the buildings and their designs being so ambiguous. An outsider would be forgiven for thinking it was all made with pokemon or humans in mind during some indeterminate time period. But then I recalled the elevator in the castle and the designs of the seating in the cafe and the general look of the towns and cities. Every instance of that sort of design was a…

Chapter 27 - Day 12, Part 1: Drowning There was something so infuriating about the way that being in water made me feel. Like right now, as I was floating as free as a fish in the depths of the sea, the way that the water cradled me was euphoric. It flowed gently against my fur and sheltered my very being. That's how it was supposed to be for a water type like me, but I couldn't even enjoy it internally. I recalled how I reacted after taking a dive in the castle's pool for the first time over a week…

Chapter 26 - Day 11, Part 5: Cliffside Anxiety and uncertainty peppered Larkspur's mind like Durants on an ant hill. He paced, back and forth, back and forth, his toes floating off of the ground. Tonight, the waves crashed upon the shore in the distance; he could hear them faintly. The Malamar longed to bask in the relaxing atmosphere of the ocean—and the moon's brilliant, shimmering light. Larkspur was feeling doubtful. This was a problem; doubt did not suit him well. But unfortunately, even he…

Chapter 24 - Day 11, Part 3: An Outside Perspective Fenn often wonders if he's like other fire types. From what he knows, or what he's read, most fire type pokemon are passionate, spirited creatures that care deeply about those close to them. This was in general terms, of course; there could be exceptions. For Fenn, anybody that knows him well could see that he's ardent in more ways than one. Fenn thought about why he was even born as a fire type in the first place, the shade of the Colbur Village…

Chapter 25 - Day 11, Part 4: Open Secrets "Mmm, Grilled Archen. My favorite." "Can you not?" I had to look away as Finch tore apart the meat of a dead feral right in front of me. I honestly should've expected this. As soon as we got to the cafeteria back in Kebia Castle, Finch immediately went for the meat section of the buffet. He was practically salivating at the sight of so many options. This was among one of the many reasons why I regretted making the stupid desicion to allow Finch onto Team…
