Another artwork from Ryot_ryot, this time featuring Brock and Selene, the often underutilised Lunatone!
As always, please throw me your thoughts and ideas for any other artworks you want to see. I have seen some good ones that I am asking Ryot to do up!
My warm up was much faster today, but no one could blame me. Today was the next step in my plan to force Will’s hand.
I’d been looking forward to all week. When I’d laid down the challenge against Gavin Glady, he hadn’t been able to back down, not after what he’d been saying.
Will had the excuse of having already faced me. I couldn’t drag him into another fight with how slippery he was being but that didn’t mean I couldn’t drag others into a fight.
I survey m...

I'm not sure how things will shake out entirely, but I hope I can still commit to getting another chapter written up this month. I will lock the vote this Saturday and get stuck into some writing to have it done up hopefully before the end of the month!

The next day, I set up a few lounging chairs in the reserve along with a picnic basket. Yolanda deposited a few blankets and put Terra down next to Empress. Will’s next match ‘on his circuit’ was about to start and I had just about finished up setting things up.
“Brock, do you think we packed enough snacks?” said Suzie from within a very fluffy-looking Flareon onesie. My family had heard I was going to watch the next match with Yolanda in the reserve. They’d taken that to me...

From Ryot_ryot we have the gang practising their cool entrance poses!
Sadly, Sanchez is going to take awhile!
I have a few really good suggestions for artworks that have come up, so I will be looking to get some of the artists I have tapped to make them up!
I almost walked straight out to talk with Empress. But then I considered what I was about to do.
One does not simply walk up to a Pseudo-legendary pokemon and ask them to join your team.
There were good odds that she’d be offended by my offer and trash the reserve. I pinged a message to the Gym trainers to return all the pokemon that were too weak before checking that none of the pokemon we stabled for our trainers were out and about. This caused one trainer to approach and ask ...
2023-08-02 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“So you’re the leader of the local chapter of the Bug Catcher Club?” I asked as I led the group of young boys. There was also a single girl who had happily entangled one of her arms with one of the boys while walking through the Gym with Dennis and Yolanda.
I noticed more than a few furtive glances at the couple from the rest of the group but decided to leave that for the playground drama that it was.
“Y-yes!” squeaked the boy, who was apparently the leader. He looked a ...
2023-08-01 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI awoke with a foot in my face and a knee in my ribs.
The foot belonged to Rei, while the knee belonged to Shoto. I grumbled at both of them and dislodged myself to scramble to the toilet. Having small bodies lay on you invariably meant that someone had to be pressing on your bladder. I felt like that was a law of the universe, or something like Murphy’s law.
Thou shalt not sleep in a puppy pile without needing to wake up with a full bladder!
Or something like that.

2023-07-28 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe blare of my alarm had me up and about like normal. I was halfway through listing off what I needed to do for the morning before I remembered how things had gone for the last few days. I stopped cleaning my face and braced myself against the sink.
Right, a whole lot had happened.
I clicked my tongue in annoyance. Right, it had happened; I needed to move on.
Which was turning out harder than I expected it to be. It was like a thorn in my side that niggled and irritated me....
2023-07-26 19:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostSabrina released her Alakazam and a Hypno to help transport us all to the site that she’d discovered. We teleported in a flash of light. When I blinked my eyes, I noticed that the sun itself had shifted in the sky. I glanced around and caught sight of a vaguely familiar landmark.
Oak beat me to the punch, merely giving his surroundings a cursory glance before humming. “We’re north of Lavender Town? An interesting location for a Team Rocket facility to be set up.”
Sabrina i...
2023-07-25 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostShe awoke steadily. Her eyes didn’t need to adjust to the darkness of the cavern. She was one with the darkness. That didn’t mean she moved recklessly, however. With her eggs, she would need to—
She stopped as the memories rose unbidden.
That was right; her eggs were gone. Destroyed by some man-made device that had appeared within her nest. The cave itself had been broken. Her eggs—the small, delicate things that she had struggled to nurture—had split.
She shut her...

From our artist, Ryot_ryot! I asked for something a little different and decided to showcase the television show that Brock's family loves to watch. Enjoy his paws of honour and justice! He's Samurai Furret!
I hope you enjoy!
I barely made it out the front of the Gym to meet Jenny. I arrived in time to see a blur racing across the landscape towards my gym that quickly closed on me.
Instincts made me reach for a pokeball and release Shin. He lifted his head, saw the oncoming threat, and raised his blades, a shine overtaking him as he performed Rock Polish without prompting.
A moment later the speeding blur resolved itself into an Arcanine that eased their pace into a trot, allowing the dust to billow in...
2023-07-19 19:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI had a little bit of time before the press conference, so I assembled the… Well, I couldn’t really call them my A team as Dennis and Rocko were both on leave while Forrest was on his journey.
I tilted my head and considered the room. I’d been able to get Rachel, Yolanda, Missy, Bethany— the old reception lady—, Lawrence, and Stephen. They weren’t the people who would serve this discussion best, perhaps, but they had their strong points that I’m sure they’d brin...

Dearluna has been commissioned to create a wonderful artwork for us with Brock, Sabrina, and Ralts all enjoying a meal together! I particularly like Brock's bedhead with how ruffled he looks.
As always, please send me any ideas you have for future artwork options. It's always fun to see what people want to see!
2023-07-14 19:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostA mocking laugh had me turning to find Will standing on a ridgeline. His hand was raised in front of his face in the most prissy manner I could imagine, and he cackled at me. I frowned. What was I doing here? I was standing in the midst of a broken landscape that… No. Not just any broken landscape; this was the battlefield after our match.
I glanced further around and felt a weight settle on me, with a crowd of faces leering down from the stands. Judging me as a cold voice announced W...
2023-07-12 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostIn a dark room, a television clicked on.
“— and I’m Chuck Clearskies on today’s Battlecast showcase! Today’s big match saw Ace trainer Will challenge Gym Leader Brock to an Ace battle! With pride on the line and the match hyped as the match of the week, it didn’t fail to deliver!” said the sports host on the Battlecast channel.
He stepped swiftly to the side and indicated the screen behind him that had pictures of Brock and Will’s heads slamming together with a fla...

I asked Ozlyk to do some expressions for Brock and this is what they came up with. Happy, Angry, and Sad. I've not included these as one of the saturday releases as I will also release these to the public.
Ozlyk also did some extra people in his versions, so if you're on the public viewing spaces for this series, then keep an eye out in the future for them as they capture some moments in time scarily well!
Another artwork from Ryot_ryot showcases the Clefairy doing their little dance around the meteor while Brock watches on.
I rather like this simple set up and have to say it feels very peaceful.
As always please leave some comments on other artworks you think would be a good idea to have made up!

The explosion happened so quickly that I only had time to shout “Pr—” before it engulfed Titan and the battlefield.
In front of me, the barriers that protected the trainers flared into life before glowing red ominously. The stadium barriers glowed orange before slowly filtering back. The crowd gasped and screamed in shock before calming down. Then people began to shout their outrage.
I scowled in Will’s direction but couldn’t see him due to the smoke that still wafted ov...
2023-07-05 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Shrek Dig!” I ordered, eyeing the distance that divided Slowking and him. Trying to sprint across it wouldn’t work, especially with Trick Room in effect. I could also have him do a dogged advance, but that wouldn’t work as well for me.
Instead, I was going to bet on something else happening. “Calm Mind,” said Will merrily, with his pokemon acting quickly under the Trick Room effect. Shrek burrowed down, slower than I’d ever seen him dig.
Will flicked a finger. “An...

Another Artwork from Ryot_ryot who took some artistic license to give Sanchez a switch for his snow day! I think it still works for him though!
Hope you enjoy this and don't worry! The next installment of the fight isn't that far off!
2023-06-30 19:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWhile the plan was working for Gawain and myself, I knew I had to be on the lookout for Will pulling off his own plan. If I could work it out, I could disrupt it.
So far, I was suspicious of how Gawain had been overextending himself to hack and slash his axes at Medicham, only for nothing to hit.
That shouldn’t be too surprising, but my instincts were warning me about it.
Gawain was strong; he wasn’t as fast a Shin, but he had weight in his blows. Every hit sent...
2023-06-28 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe morning of the match started much like any other. I nuzzled into Sabrina and enjoyed her warmth before shooting the alarm clock a glare. A sigh escaped Sabrina, and she prodded me into heading out into the reserve to run through my day’s chores.
I grumbled, gave her a kiss, and got out of bed.
When I was finished with my usual morning routine and dressed, I exited only to find Yolanda yawning and marching down the hallway. I shot her a nod. She hadn’t committed to every mo...

I grinned, “Love you little brother!” I said causing him to blush.
He mumbled his own, “Love you too,” before signing off before he could be mocked. I rolled my eyes. Ash and Misty weren’t the sort to mock him for saying something like that. I settled into the chair and rubbed at the damp cloth that was resting on my arm.
After everything was said and...

Any moment now, he would hear from Brock. His eyes slid to a picture on his mantel of Brock, his platoon of little siblings, and Sabrina, in front of the newly created Pewter City Gym.
He didn’t like to think about what might happen o...

As always, toss me any ideas people have for more artworks! I have Dearluna and Ryot_ryot on some images as well that will be out either this or next month!
2023-06-16 19:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostMisty awoke with a loud yawn and a stretch. She smacked her lips and blinked away the sleep of the night to glance around the room. Forrest was still in the bed across the room from her. Ash’s bed was atop Forrest as the top bunk, but despite that Ash was only half in the bed.
Since Pewter City, he’d been trying to get into the habit of waking up early to train with his team. It was very hit-and-miss these days. Most of the time, it depended on Forrest.
