"Alright mate, you excited, feeling strong?" Joey asked after he released rattata into his room back at the orphanage, with a visit at the pokemon centre in-between. His starter vigorously nodded his small head. He seemed like he was one catchy tune away from doing a little dance.
Joey sat on his bed and kicked off his shoes.
"Well, you should. You just won yourself a gym badge against someone with a type advantage. Sure, we used some interpretive tactics, but technically we just ...

Joey was sitting down on a bench in front of the fighting-type gym. He saw the trainers that had recently started arriving in Saffron from other cities go in, and then walk out dejectedly. It wasn't because they'd lost the battle, but because they'd been turned away. A month and a half since the season started, that's when the non-local trainers started arriving. This usually resulted in a small surge, which made it impossible for gyms to function without a reservation system. That's why Joey...

All right, I've been working my ass off for two weeks now, going completely ape on this story. Here's the results.
This friday. I will update "How to train your rattata,": not with one chapter, not with two chapters, not with three chapters, and not with four chapters, but, with, five, full, chapters.
OMG. How is he generating this much shit content? You're probably wondering
Well, it's all thanks to you, my beautiful patrons, and the fact that as a student I am perpet...

Chapter 6
"Alright, recruit. You know now what we're up against," Joey said as he released rattata into the clearing in which they usually trained. His pokemon, as always, seemed mostly undaunted by any type of odds, and just excitedly shadow-boxed in the air against an...

I've been working on the early access chapters of the How to train your rattata story, but I've come across a slight stumbling block. Namely, the next chapter is like 8500 words long. This is personally the longest chapter I would have ever released if I do it. My dilemma is now; that if I release the chapter as is, I might have to offer less early access chapters per tier, due to how long it would take me to write all this out.
Since I'm not much of a free-thinker I'm going ...

Harry and Penny exited the potions classroom exhausted, but happy. "You managed to not blow everything up!" Penny congratulated, as they started making their way to the Defence against the Dark Arts class. The boy grimaced, before showing a small smile.
"I guess that's an improvement, it seems like all that practice last year helped."
"Slughorn even gave you a point!"
Harry remembered how Slughorn had given him a point for meticulously preparing his ingredients. He'd never h...

Joey and rattata entered a certain routine after that fateful encounter with Michelle. They trained detect in the mornings, not having to move out of their back-yard to do so. Then they eventually left for the clearing they'd first started training in a week ago. There they worked on perfecting moves such as tackle and quick attack. While also having rattata bite into trees with as much anger and hate as the rodent could muster. Joey was trying to teach his starter bite, but so far the move j...

It was a warm day, and Joey found himself already sweating as he exited the north gate of Saffron. He knew that the league started in the spring because this was when most new pokemon hatched in the wild, giving new trainers a leg up in completing their teams with young pokemon eager to go out into the world. The other reason being that if the league lasted ten months, starting in spring, then it could go on break in winter.
The thing was that Kanto, as an island, did not have particula...

AN: I've decided that I will start posting this on forums other than just fanfiction. I'll probably have different names on different forums, but here it will just be "How to train your rattata." The issue is that different forums have different restrictions on title length. So while "How to train your rattata," fits on fanfiction, "My life as a youngster with a top percentage rattata is more serious than expected?" won't. It would however fit on spacebattles, or questionable questing...

Alright, now that we have 25 patrons, it's time to hold a poll on what the next interlude of the Harry Evans adventure is going to be. I'll give you three options which will each add a different detail into the world-building of the story, so choose wisely. I think I'll start holding these on a semi-regular basis to give y'all a chance to flex those polling benefits that are a part of all your tiers.

Joey woke up happy, fresh, thriving. While he did miss a lot of things about his old body, nothing quite beat being young again. He jumped out of his bed, put a towel around himself and walked over to the communal bathroom, where he had a nice and long undisturbed shower. It was only six in the morning and no one else was quite up yet. He did have to admit, after he'd dried off and went back to his room, that if there was one thing to enjoy about being a child and thus being incapable of scor...

"Professor Flitwick," Harry began, when he and the charms master were standing in front of the door to the Dursley home in Surrey. "I've recently started reading up on duelling, and I was wondering if there were any tips you could give me in regards to me perhaps competing in the U18 division."
Flitwick looked at him with some surprise."Duelling, Harry? I remember we said we'd discuss it at some point after you finished your spell. But I don't think now is the right time considering you...

So, today is a special day. It's the day when y'all get early access to my first commissioned fic. Which, I guess is a previously undescribed benefit of being my Patron. This is a semi-crack, semi-serious fic of a self-insert who starts his training journey with a rattata, and who believes that any pokemon can compete in the big leagues, and thus starts preparing for exactly that.
I also recently reached 20 patrons, which means I'll be quickly posting another chapter of Harry Evans to t...

Harry was walking down Diagon Alley, after having finished his purchases and bemoaning the state of his wallet. There were so many interesting things to buy in the Wizarding World, but he was too broke to get them. He was just coming up with a plan on using the room of requirement to find some coins when he saw a head of purple loitering about in front of a quidditch supply store and frowning at a newspaper. He hefted the extra book he'd been able to get by buying the other stuff second-hand,...

Vernon heaved a large stack of printing paper into the trunk of their family car in London, while Harry carried what must have been an industrial amount of ink.
"Are you sure that's enough paper?" Vernon asked as he looked at the large stack. "Could do with twice that when I was your age attending school. They've really let up, haven't they?"
Harry sighed, patted his uncle on the shoulder, an act he had to go on his tippy toes for and went back to the crosswalk where he watched th...

"You've always been a bit of an overachiever, huh," was what Vernon had told Harry once he'd divulged the possibility of him skipping ahead one grade in the subject of charms. Petunia had simply nodded and made his favourite meal that day, which was another underwhelming reaction. Harry had wondered if he'd spoiled the Dursleys in the excellence of their children. It was an odd thing to consider, that being so good at a subject one got an opportunity such as this, was waved off in such a simp...

"So you're taking this hat for a walk, is what you're saying?" Petunia asked sceptically, sitting primly in the chair in the flowery living room and taking her afternoon tea. She was casting a doubtful gaze on top of Harry's head, where the sorting hat, or rather, Chanithachuah, was resting.
"Yeah, that's basically what I'm doing," Harry answered, but amended once the sorting hat coughed theatrically in his head. "He's helping me learn some really useful skills, wicked smart and all it ...

Coming to the most deserted part of the beach had been a good idea.

Harry had thought long and hard about the events that had transpired that fateful night a few days ago. He'd come to the conclusion that he wasn't all that bothered by the whole thing. He'd survived with all his limbs and his mind intact and the perpetrator was dead. He had made himself the promise to not get too involved in dangerous events and what he regretted the most about the year was that he'd followed Twix to the forest's edge all those months ago. Her snapping him up as she broke int...

Harry awoke from a nightmare and slowly opened his eyes to gaze at the sunlight penetrating the hospital wing and illuminating its sterility. He couldn't remember what he'd dreamt, only that he'd hated it. He lay there and stared at the arching ceiling for a while, before turning his head to the left to check up on Penny. He almost fell out of his bed as he noticed a bundle of messy blonde hair and blue eyes staring at him from his bedside.

If Harry thought that his headache after the occlumency practice had been bad… Well, it was nothing in comparison to the gigantic pounding that his grey matter was taking right now. Sledgehammers knocking on his skull from the inside out was what woke Harry up from a comparably pleasant unconsciousness. He clearly opened his eyes, which were at height level with a dusty floor and an abandoned book titled 'Flaying your foes.' Charming, he thought and failed at repressing a groan.

It had taken a while, mostly because they'd revised the entire transfiguration curriculum while they were at it, but after three hours of work both Cedric and Harry had managed to turn metal into something organic.
Cedric had, on Harry's advice, gone for something not as difficult. The simple fact he could do the transfiguration at all would very likely get him an O+, unless he'd made any other mistakes on the exam. A needle turned into a worm. Completely uninspired, but with the additi...

Being invisible was an interesting phenomena, just walking past people, not being noticed. It was freeing in a sense. He walked amongst the students and remained unseen. In fact he'd had this spell mastered for almost half a year now and he just couldn’t get enough of the privacy it offered. Considering also the criminal potential the spell offered, it was actually sort of impressive he had managed to remain a virtuous saint throughout all this time. It was only now, in May, shortly before ...
