Chapter 5
‘Stupid Mineta, stupid game,’ Kazuki grumbled in his own mind as he made his way to UA. He wasn’t quite late per se, but he was certainly later than he’d been during the first day of class. And it was all because fucking Mineta had thought it was a good idea to introduce Kazuki to some shitty game on his phone.
And goddamnit was it addicting.
The game wasn’t all that good, admittedly. It was a gacha game with rather simple gamepl...

‘Ok, that wound’s cared for, on to the next one,’ he relayed to the poor bastard that mama onix had decided was the best person to treat her child. Scott honestly didn’t know what was up with that, but things were as they were and there was nothing his coworkers and him could do to change things. They could only hope that the guy, Pierce, would do a good enough job and deal with the situation. To the m...

A Message Coming From My Eyes
[Serafall Leviathan]
“I’m alive because of them, and so are my family and my familiars,” Joshua had told her when she asked if he had anything in mind for the people she was going to talk to then. “So, I’d prefer it if they didn’t die.” That was all he had to say on the matter, it seemed. Which was both expected and unexpe...

“Do… you think he’s serious?” Hagakure asked, with what Kazuki assumed was her usual cheer nowhere to be seen. “He’s not gonna expel us if we are last, right…?”
“Who knows?” Mineta replied with a shrug, even if he looked pretty nervous himself.
Kazuki didn’t need to look at the people around him to know most of them were at least a little worried. It didn’t exactly make sense to him though. Not all of them could hav...

Pierce practically fell on the Pokemon Center’s chair once he made it back. He’d barely gathered enough energy to look for a cup of tea before he took a seat and that was about as much as he could manage. From there, he just sat there like his whole body was made of lead. It certainly felt like that, after all.
It was night outside already and long past the hour Pierce would normally go back to sleep. Somehow though, despite how much he...

“Thanks for this, Kuisha,” Joshua said, his voice low, almost a whisper. At least his body wasn’t giving in after a few words, that was progress. A whole day and he still felt like absolute shit. He could barely move his body and speaking required effort. The only reason he’d been able to move around the house was Cheshire, since his first familiar ha...

“Stupid pretty boys,” Mineta grumbled, hunching over his drink and glaring all around him. “Stupid shallow girls.”
Kazuki rolled his eyes, because really, he was one to talk about being shallow, honestly. At least it seemed that his short friend’s anger wasn’t as ridiculously large as he showed, from what he could sense. It seemed to be mostly theatrics, which was fine for him. The most he could feel was mild annoyance, actually, which was a ...

Neither Pierce nor Lily moved for a long moment then, as they both looked at the smoke rising slowly but decisively up in the air. Lower, closer to the mountain, there was a cloud of the stuff mixed with the dull brown of dust and dirt and probably rock too. ‘So it happened,’ Pierce thought grimly.
He’d suspected, of course, he’d planned for it to happen and what he’d do when it did but… Actually seeing it was another thing entir...

She knew what she was doing was a bad idea. Joshua’s uncle lived, after all, closer to Church territory than he did literally anybody else, let alone devils. However, there was no way she’d just stand by and do nothing as one of her friends, few as they were, was in danger of dying.
As she prepared to teleport with as many force...

Kazuki thought the written part of the test had gone well enough. It hadn’t been nearly as difficult as he expected it to be, but then again, Aizawa had told him he should be fine. Which, considering the personality of the guy, meant he was probably going to do more than fine, at the least. The guy’s efforts to reassure might have been slightly undermined by the fact that Kazuki wasn’t sure he trusted him, or any of the UA staff all tha...

Another thing Pierce had started doing soon after Lily and him arrived at the city was going to the Pewter Gym. A building he’d been in awe of, for sure, but it also was a target of his at this point. He wouldn’t be battling there for a while yet, of course, but he would come back with a team better suited for it later down the line. He did wonder though, if Brock would still be there whenever he came back.
Because he was the leader at the momen...

Shouts and screams came from behind the door.
A little boy sat against the wooden barrier, crying to himself.
‘Why do I feel all this… anger?’ he thought to himself, confused and scared by a feeling that wasn’t his.
Fury. Spite. Wrath.
All words that could perfectly describe the emotion he was feeling at that moment. Emotion that didn’t really come from inside him but from outside. Seemi...

“Doing much better, Narcissa!” Pierce called, grinning widely as he watched his pokemon doing her usual dance with Talon, the spearow, in the air. They were sparring once again and it was going about as well as it usually did. Not to say that the bird wasn’t improving, but any progress the flying type got, the bug type matched if not surpassed, making sure that the gap remained about the same. ‘It’ll be interesting to see how things go afte...

Pierce had excused himself after retrieving Beedrill’s pokeball. Chatting with Lily was all well and good, but there was something he’d pushed off for a while already and it was time to finally address it with his pokemon. Well, several things, really, but that just made it more important to get it over with… Or at least start dealing with that.
“Hey there, girl,” he greeted once the pokeball’s beam finished letting out his bug type part...

“Drawing things on essays, huh?” Joshua commented, half amused as he looked over Kunou’s work. ‘Nice drawing,’ he thought to himself, even if he wouldn’t voice it. It would likely get Yasaka on his case and encourage Kunou, which would be bad. He already praised her drawings plenty, no need to do it with this one.

Pierce was currently watching Beedrill zoom around while practicing Harden and Iron Defense. She was also supposed to be working on Tailwind, but that was a long ways away from even showing much progress at all. As it was, his partner couldn’t even get Flying energy to work for her at all. Talon was doing his best to teach her though and they were… Well, they hoped they were getting there, even if at a slow pace.

“All I’m saying is that some pokemon can’t dodge that fast, if at all,” Lily explained, letting out a groan out of exasperation. “So, they are more likely to tank a move if you leave them to it.

“So, Air Cutter and Tailwind,” Pierce asked, frowning in thought. Next to him walked Lillian with her pokedex in hand as she checked over information about Beedrill. He’d already asked her to let him check over that to take notes. Most of it would be random trivia, he expected, but it was random trivia that could be very useful. Nevermind the fact that she seemed to have a list of the moves Beedrill could learn, which was much more than he had,...
