Here you will find my Pokémon fan-fiction, short-story thing. Still a work in progress, but I hope you enjoy!
Journeys – Chapter One
The clock tower cast a long shadow over the east wing, blocking the sunlight through one of the large, elegant windows of Sandgem Academy. As the tower finally yielded its deep, metallic tolls, hundreds of uniformed students flooded the grand halls with a sea of green and white, eager to leave the confines of the…
Journeys – Chapter Two
Sandgem Academy was teeming with courtyards and other flat, open spaces that had been converted into battle arenas for the Trainers that studied there. Some professors used them for instructional purposes but mostly they were used by students who, having put off their Pokémon training in favor of their studies would spend their spare time…
Journeys – Chapter Three
JC bounded down the main staircase in his house, jumping the last few steps on his way down. Over in the kitchen Kovos was pouring tea for his parents seated at the little round kitchen table, the two elder Kalmikovs thumbing through the newspaper and enjoying the quiet summer morning. “Good morning, Mom! Dad!” JC…
Journeys – Chapter Four
Hoenn was beautiful this time of year. Soaring past Mt. Chimney, May Senri slipped her Devon Corporation Go-goggles over her eyes as she and her Flygon swooped through the everlasting sandstorm blanketing Hoenn’s only desert. The insectoid dragon let out a cheerful cry excited to be passing back through his homeland again, the transparent red…
Journeys – Chapter Five
Dawn and Piplup were the first to rise. Together, they rolled up Dawn’s sleeping bag and went about cleaning the fire pit of debris. Once the morning chores were about finished, Dawn pulled a Poké Ball from her bag and released another one of her Pokémon. The energetic little purple monkey jumped up and down…
Journeys – Chapter Six
May brushed her hair from her eyes as the sea sprayed heavily on her face. She stood at the bow of the S.S. Tidal, the fast ship skimming atop the waves on its voyage to Sinnoh. “Leave it to Steven to get the fastest boat on Shia as his own personal ship,” she laughed to…
Journeys – Chapter Seven
To JC and Cameron, Jubilife City was enormous. The two boys whose idea of a large city was the quaint Sandgem town were embarrassing the girls as they gawked at the lofty skyscrapers and hundreds of people, completely in awe. “Can you please act a little more civilized?” Dawn urged, hiding her face, “People are…
Journeys – Chapter Eight
Route 204’s picket-fenced borders guided Cameron, Dawn and Serina through the rolling landscape, its paved pathway a welcome change from the dusty, dirty route 202. The wide landscape was seemingly endless in either direction, a vast expanse of green hills, pockets of tall grass, and numerous ponds and small lakes reflecting the fluffy clouds in…
Journeys – Chapter Nine
“It just does not feel right…” Serina sighed, looking away from Dawn and gazing towards the east, “Being this far from him. What if something happens and I am not there to assist? I could never forgive myself if that happened.” Dawn let out a chuckle, “You only just learned that he existed a month…
Journeys – Chapter Ten
Despite its small size, it took the three of them several hours to see all that Floaroma Town had to offer. The town itself was made up of small, suburban homes and seemed to lack any trace of big business, save for the mart inside of the Pokémon Center. The vast flower-filled fields that gave…
Journeys – Chapter Eleven
After nearly a week of straight training in the underground arena of Steven’s villa, May was exhausted. Her mentor definitely did his homework when choosing her teacher; Elesa was unstoppable as a wielder, blindingly fast and incredibly powerful. She drove May to the limit day after day in an attempt to help her master synchronization,…
Journeys – Chapter Twelve
The storm came out of nowhere. Dark clouds suddenly sprung up to the east, quickly closing the distance between the mountains and Floaroma and unleashing their torrent on the small town. The rains hadn’t let up for two days now, and Cameron, Dawn, Serina, Lartar and the other Pokémon were beginning to experience cabin fever.…
Journeys – Chapter Thirteen
Kira slowly trudged up the stone stairs of Snowpoint Temple, each step burying her feet deep in the snow. Despite Candice’s warnings, she had had no trouble navigating the woods and making the long trek up to the old temple, with only a light flurry of snow dusting her head when she passed the city…
Journeys – Chapter Fourteen
“I still can’t believe they just gave you those eggs,” Cameron said, playing tug-of-war with Tori and a piece of meat. “I’ve been working hard for my Pokémon, and here you are with a pair of freebies!” “Hey, we did work for them, remember?” JC defended as he fed Kamé, “They were basically payment for…
Journeys – Chapter Fifteen
Dawn finally managed to get her key card to work and threw open the door to the boy’s room, rushing into their bedroom. “Everybody up, NOW!” she ordered, switching on the lights, “Come on, come on!” Her voice forced JC awake immediately but Cameron just sat up lazily in bed and rubbed his eyes. “What’s…
Journeys – Chapter Sixteen
Just as JC predicted, it took their group five days to escape the snow-laden mountain trails of route 217 and 216 and finally arrive in Eterna City. Serina returned to the group after a full two days of absence, but even after her reappearance the trip remained relatively peaceful. Kira immediately apologized to her and…
