New Beginnings - INTERLUDE: Jenny

As she strolled down the hallway of the Eterna City Police Headquarters, Detective Jenny reviewed her notes. Her incoming interrogation was looking to be the biggest of her career, and it could make or break the finishing touches of rooting the evil of Team Galactic out of their region. 

Jenny approached INT-5, or Interrogation Room 5, rapped her knuckles across the solid, hearty wooden door, and then slid inside with practiced confidence. Inside the room, a tall, slender, purple-h...

New Beginnings - Chapter 70

As Tobais left to set-up his things for his stay, Ethan joined the ongoing conversation between the rest of his ranch’s guests. Jessie and Meowth stayed on the outskirts, having a conversation of their own, but were listening in to the main group’s topics as they threw Ash dirty glares. James was too preoccupied with the reunion with his two pokemon to bother with the rest of the activities surrounding him. 

“---and that’s all of his pokemon. Well, if he hasn’t caught any...

New Beginnings - Chapter 69 (Nice)

As the rocket trio gathered themselves, Ethan took a moment to inspect them for the first time. They each were immediately recognizable, if a little different from their 2D counterparts from his memory. James still had his classic blue hair, and appeared to be around the same age as him. Although, he did look slightly nauseous from the flight he’d just taken, and his casual clothes, which consisted of a pair of simple blue jeans and a black button-up shirt, were crinkled and dirtied from hi...

New Beginnings - Chapter 68

Not as long as I feared it would be. The next stopping point was decently far away, so I figured it was best to call it here, lest you all having to wait even longer for a chapter.

Enjoy. :)

Had a hard time finding a stopping point for this chapter. If the ending is too awkward or jarring, please let me know.

------------------------------------------

Ethan checked his phone for the twentieth time this morning, finding that, yes, the worst was coming to fruition. 

The construction crew had left last night, after having finished a tad early from Bill Joy’s helpful oversight of the construction of the Pokemon Center. While the man wasn’t enjoyable to be ...

New Beginnings - Chapter 66

After Cynthia and Elm left Berry Falls, the days were busy and filled with work. The day after Cynthia left, the very same construction crew Looker contracted to build his home, fences, and pond, arrived to begin construction on three new buildings. If Ethan had his say, he was also going to ask for a bit more, on the League’s budget of course. 

Alba, the dark-skinned, lean, leader of the construction crew met with him to talk about the locations and looks of the buildings. Her c...

New Beginnings - Chapter 65

Ethan sat at his table while the Healing Machine worked its magic. His eyes never left the tiny screen that displayed the current condition of his two pokemon. Everything was fine, according to the readings, but the little bit of worry never faded.

“You did well.” Cynthia stated from behind him as she pulled up a chair. He’d heard her enter with Elm earlier, but ignored them for the moment. “It's clear to me that Pachirisu and Chatot like battling. I think with some practice, yo...

New Beginnings - Chapter 64

A full chapter of battle!!! Let me know what you think, as this is only the second time I've ever wrote a battle.
------------------------------------------------

Ethan stood against Cynthia on the training field once again, but this time it was his idea to start a battle. It probably wasn’t a good idea to have the first two battles you’ve ever taken part in be against the champion of the region, but if word somehow gets out, he can at least brag about it.

Not many people ...

Next Original Story - Poll

For the past year, I have brainstormed and came up with three new story ideas. I think each of them are great, and will eventually write all three given time. This is a Poll to select which one you'd like to see the most.

Descriptions of each option.

Healer Tier Notification.

It took a some digging, sorting through the multiple options, but I have retired the Healer Sub. I can 'turn it back on' when I need to, but nobody should be able to subscribe any longer.

Pallesia will not continue for the foreseeable future. (1-2 years, probably longer.) If you are currently a Healer, then you will still be a Healer and have the benefits the tier provides. I will, in the future, add my other stories and return the subscription tier when a new story gets posted.

Pallesia - Chapter 186: Seperation. END OF BOOK 3. READ THE BEFORE CHAPTER NOTES!!!

IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!

This concludes Book 3 of Pallesia. The ending was rushed, but I just couldn't do it anymore. I haven't enjoyed writing Pallesia for 50 or so chapters now, as I have struggled with the issues I've written myself into early on in the story.

There will be no continuation, the story is going on haitus.

The Healer tier of subscription has been retired, you will still have access to your perks, but nobody can join it until I release the...

New Beginnings - Chapter 63

A.N This is a long chapter. I usually aim for 2000-2200 words, and this one is 3000. Enjoy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cynthia showing up unannounced should have been a surprise, but this was pretty par for the course. Ethan wanted to talk. He truly did. Whether it be out of some form of connection to people, or his desire of wanting to share information about himself, he wasn’t sure. All he knew was that he was ready.<...

The flight from Celestic Town to Ethan’s ranch wasn’t much of an issue. Flying cut down travel times to a fraction of what was required on land. The routes maintained by the Pokemon Rangers were the only safe way to travel for the vast majority of peop...

Chapter 184 - Arbitration.

A.N: Remind me to never do system stuff ever again. This took six hours. It was needed to fix some of the glaring issues I added early on into the story. Something OP, somethings useless. It sucks, but it needs to be done for the health of the story itself when I eventually pick it back up after book 3.

We're nearing the end, and I don't know when I will work on book 4. But, for when that time comes, this was needed.

New Beginnings - Chapter 61

“Absolutely not.” Ethan said, voice even as he held his phone in between his shoulder and his neck. 

“I’ve already made a deal with them. Did you get the picture?” Cynthia’s smug voice oozed out through the speakers, causing Ethan to grimace.

Ethan closed his laptop, stopping his research into creating habitats along his ranch, building with the help of pokemon, and all around self-sustained living. “I don’t care about whatever deals you’ve made. I�...

Pallesia - Chapter 183: Error.

Once everyone grouped up and made their way out of the mountain, following the path Neia, Ruven, and Mimi/Jud took to reach them, Lee got a good look at where he was held captive. 

It was inside the mountain which surrounded the horizon. The same one that half of Felispar was built into. They were a few miles away from the city, as the city itself was off to their left, half visible from their current vantage point. The sky was cast in the gloomy shade of darkness. It was nighttime...

New Beginnings - Chapter 60

James sat sullenly at the gleaming metal table he’d been handcuffed too. His eyes only occasionally sliding over to the clock hanging up on the wall, its slow ticks the only sound in the room other than his occasional sighs and fidgets. 

They’d been caught. It was bound to happen sooner or later, and he was under no illusion as to why they'd been brought in. They… weren’t ‘good’ people. He wasn’t sure about how they got a hold of their plans to steal the adamant orb f...

Pallesia - Chapter 182: Embrace

As still as he could, Lee continued to play dead as his eyes zeroed in on the puddle of blood left behind from Emaz. There wasn’t much evidence left of the grievous wound he’d inflicted with Spear of Eternity, but it kept his focus as he tried to ignore the garish sounding chomps from whatever had come to clean up after him. 

After what felt like an hour, but was probably only a minute, the sounds of feasted faltered. Around his ankle, he felt a strong...

Notification - Return!

I feel much better today than I did in the past. Only a sore throat and phlegmy cough. Expect chapters to return to their schedules soon!

Thanks for sticking around during my sickness!

Notification - Down with the sickness.

Ooooh wahahahaha.

I am sick. Probably got the flu or a pretty harsh cold. Power has been out the last two days and its been raining nonstop. Temporary pause on the stories until I am back in action.

Shouldn't be too long, but as I missed the Pallesia chapter post date I made this post to keep you all up to date.

If you have any questions or concerns leave a comment or chat with me on the discord server.

“Okay! That’s enough!” Ethan groaned loudly as he sat at the kitchen table and massaged his temples. Tinkatink paused, arm mid-air with her hammer raised to smack a pot she’d taken out of the kitchen. 

He took a deep breath, ...

New Beginnings - Halloween Fun!

Non-Canon to the story! just a fun side story!

-----------------

The world appeared to sense that Halloween was here. All of the brilliant green leaves of the surrounding forest had turned to a multicolored array of oranges, yellows, and reds. The chilly autumn air rolled across Berry Falls, blowing the fallen leaves across his beautiful ranch. Dozens of jack-o’-lanterns, filled with succulent sweets that took most of the day to make, were hidden about the ranch, ready for the n...

Pallesia - Chapter 181 - Mimi the Mimic's grand quest.

A godly quest! Again! How lucky! Mimi thought with a grin as she peered into an inconspicuous entrance which, apparently, led to where this spooky and terrible dragon called its home. 

The clinks and clatters of metal on stone signified the arrival of her soon to be friend, Emthraxiatus Mertalicus Sepheroxus, or Em for short. With Aura Sense, she saw her coming well before the sounds reached her, but it was nice to pretend sometimes.

New Beginnings - Chapter 58

A few hours later, at a prime six o’clock in the morning, Ethan was cleaning up the mess left from the night's surprise arrival. To say that he’d slept peacefully would have been a lie, and the bags under his eyes from tossing and turning and waking every thirty minutes in worry and expectation hadn’t been helpful. 

Some of the worry was about the health of Skiddo. In his adrenaline fueled/half-asleep state late in the night, Ethan hadn’t registered that the professor had t...

Pallesia - Chapter 180: Death.

Slightly shorter chap. (1600 not 2000). But, I couldn't help myself and had to end it there.
