A few days after his arrival home, Harry had spent enough time with his family, to once again want to be alone. He thus decided to go to his special clearing in the forest.
It was one of those winter-days before Christmas that were unfortunately without snow, but thankfully without rain. If possible Harry passed even less people than usual on the bicycle on the dirt road that he always used to reach his secret place. It seemed that people were enjoying the good weather to go to town and...

Joey stood in front of the job posting board, an honestly quite simple, but large, cork wall put up in the less busy part of the poke-centre, away from the computers, the desk, the cafeteria. There were too many tasks to choose from, and with his two badges he was now qualified for quite a lot of them. As he was taking in the information on the board, he considered his main secondary objective as well.
He'd recently freed up a third slot on his team. Considering that in Vermillion he wo...

It was Vernon who picked him up at the train-station. The man was growing slightly larger as Harry became absent for entire school-years. Harry only noticed because it was hard for both of them to fit under one umbrella. He wondered if he should encourage his uncle to pick up a sport as they loaded his trunk into the car and got into the front-seats of their blue beetle.
On the other hand, there was probably a potion for that. While there may have been more benefits to sports than just ...

I recently managed to conceptualize two separate endings for my Harry Evans story, I won't say how close I am to writing either, but I have a pretty good idea they could be. I've never wanted to be an author who drags out a project endlessly just because they're making money, looking at you "Walking dead," but then I thought I have a group of people I can ask here about the situation.
Do you guys prefer an ending sooner, or a story that is longer? I have two alternative thoughts for Har...

AN: A bit of a short chapter, as was also the case after our last gym-badge. Just need some down-time for Joey so that the next arc can get initiated full speed. To keep you guys excited I'll spoiler something. We will be battling a future member of the elite four in two chapters, and it's not Koga.

Sitting on the stone floor with his back against the wall when one had stacks of parchment to go through wasn't necessarily comfortable. But that's how Harry had completed his grading of the first-year DADA essays in front of the unused class-room that he and Tonks had used for their duel the first and last time they'd done so. He sighed in contentment as everything ached and he put aside the last essay. Casting an absent-minded tempus he noted that the girl was late, before putting up his ar...

Of course just because Jin had now accepted, quite easily, he proudly thought, his new lot in life… Had decided that it was best to continue on the path that he'd been gifted, that of an illusion Room creator. Even if he was now willing to create an illusion Room, or in other words, a game…
That didn't necessarily mean that doing so was easy, or that he could start immediately.
After all, while Jin would call himself experienced in terms of video games, at least the playing as...

AN: This work has been commissioned by SouthMonk, whose idea didn't manage to win our recent poll. He decided to skip the democratic process and exert his oligarchic powers and here we are. An original work about video game design. What a time to be alive.

Metapod was healthy soon enough, her shed skin having already rid her of all status conditions immediately after the battle. Neither Joey or Erika really minded the small wait anyway, as they were too busy discussing the upcoming match.
"Lance is going to wreck Bruno so hard, I'm just sad I won't be there to see it in person," Joey lamented, feeling weird with only one team-member on his belt now that he'd gotten used to having two.
"The match is supposed to happen in Indigo stadi...

"It was completely crazy," Harry said to Penny as they watched blurs of red and yellow spatially over-power the Quidditch pitch in a mad scramble for points and glory. "Professor Potter just broke the window with a punch before jumping out, then he flew off on a broom. Couldn't believe my eyes for a second there.”
Penny nodded several times at the story, wide-eyed. It had been some time since the events of the party, but while other students had chattered on about how awesome professo...

Harry critically looked at himself in the mirror and ran his wand slowly down his left sleeve.
While he had decided to attend Slughorn's party so as to counteract the prophet article depicting him as some sort of cheater, he didn't really have the clothes for the occasion. Muggle wear was obviously out, and the only wizarding clothes he owned were several iterations of the Hogwarts uniform. This would have normally been enough, considering he was a student, but the goal of today was to ...

Not really a sustainable update speed every 6 days with chapters that are longer than 8k lol.

Harry leaned back in his seat in the DADA class-room as people around him whispered about the lesson to come. The werewolf attacks had been growing exponentially more horrific with each retelling in the halls of Hogwarts and Professor Potter had given a lesson on the creatures to the older years yesterday. Now everyone was excited to hear what the man had to say on the topic.
"It's not like we'll be able to do much if faced with an actual werewolf, we can't apparate and they're resistan...

Rolling his eyes at the amount of times he'd been asked that question the youngster went up to the desk to reassure the friendly guard and his worried looking growlithe.

"Congratulations on making the team, by the way," Harry told Cedric once they'd exited the potions class-room. He received a grimace and a non-committal hum. Harry raised an eye-brow.
"Something wrong?"
Cedric shook his head, but looked a bit pale, a bit too pale, even if one considered they'd just spent more than an hour breathing in some nasty fumes. "Well," he started, before cutting himself off. "You weren't at breakfast, were you?"
Harry shook his head, "No, I just drop...

I'm glad to see the high turnout we had for the poll. I ended it now and will start working on a proof of concept first chapter for the selected story "Great Teacher Iruka." If your favourite option didn't get picked this time, then don't worry. Once I bring out the concept chapter I am planning on holding another poll, in which I will reuse all the ideas that got at least one vote, along with asking for new ones. I want to make this into a sort of cycle.

Joey was inherently speaking a rather boring person. Most people who were really ambitious were, at the end of the day. Sure, they created fascinating anecdotes, but their lives up until the point where they realised that ambition were mostly just comprised of grind and not much else. Any amazing musician needed to practise 7 hours a day, day in and day out, for several years, before they got any sort of lucky break. It wouldn't be so exciting to read about that, just as it wouldn't be so exc...

"Come in!" Shouted a voice from inside the class-room, on which the door of Harry had just knocked. The boy pulled a face at how hearing only Potter's voice, but not seeing the man, reminded him of the beginning of last year, when the auror had been orchestrating Twix's doomed attempt to break the curse on the DADA position. He shook his head and entered, he was just here for detention. Waste some time, write some lines.
"Good afternoon, Professor Potter." He said dutifully as he walked...

What I want to do however is to keep ideas incoming, keep em fresh, so that this inspiration gives energy to my main projects and also that I have somet...

"Damn, did you get the license plate number of the truck that hit you?" Were the first words Tonks said to him when she entered the abandoned class-room that they'd decided to meet up in. It was sort of a special location, because you needed to go up a ladder to get there, which was the reason why it wasn't suited for potions practice. Also, it was in a fairly abandoned section of the castle. How incredible, that the population of magical Britain had once been large enough to fill out this wh...

They trained like that for a week. Rattata shored up his strong points even further and Joey finally had a base-line established for metapod. It was an interesting challenge to train such an immobile pokemon immediately after having trained a pokemon completely reliant on their speed. Where rattata had quick attack to deal damage and to manoeuvre, metapod had harden to mitigate damage and to shore up her defences. Rattata could use detect to dodge ranged attacks? Metapod could block them quit...

Harry watched as Penny added ingredients to her potion. They were in a new abandoned class-room, but one closer to the Hufflepuff dormitory this time. They'd had a discussion about Harry's improvement and had decided that while he was doing much better this term, going towards an Acceptable without as much effort as last year, they should upkeep the pressure. Harry just thought that Penny liked spending time with him, the way she smiled whenever they met was quite indicative of that theory be...

The sun was shining. It was a warm September evening. One of those last days of summer things, which made someone realise that not even a week ago, it had been August. The birds were chirping their sleep-shattering high pitched chirps, the suits of armour were gleaming in the sun-light that pierced the not so virginal windows of Hogwarts and the atmosphere in front of the charms class-room was awkward. Harry didn't necessarily feel like he was a person that cared much about the opinion of oth...

Battling was a big thing culturally. It was why most towns worth the name had a gym, even if it was an unofficial one. It's why most of them had public battle-fields, shops for training equipment and more and more and more. It made perfect sense thus that most towns also had public training fields which youngsters and trainers could use when they were feeling too lazy to go out of town.
Of course one was limited on what one was allowed to do in those fields. Generally it was frowned upo...

"Congratulations on beating Kong!" The gate guard greeted Joey once he'd entered the building. It was the same smiling man with the growlithe as always. Some people looked in his direction at the excited words, trainers and other youngsters. They all looked dubiously at the rattata at his side.
Joey simply rolled his eyes at the scepticism and addressed Barry. "Thanks, Barry. It was partially you that set me on the right path. There really isn't much of a point in training a rattata in...
