It was incredibly rare for Lotus to feel lucky that she was hurt. The wound was probably not so bad that she wouldn't be able to help if she really had to—but if they didn't make her, then she would take the chance to rest.Eventually they asked her to get into the car, assuring her that Iron could handle the pedals that time. She was too exhausted from the day to argue, so didn't try.The next thing she knew, they were pulling into the old parking lot. The space was overgrown with grass and small shrubs,…-

Avery was small. Of all the experiences in her life, this was new. In that regard, Quinn's tragic accident had given her an incredible gift. Humanity was so small a price to pay for everything she had gained. Life in the city called Starfall varied little for her from day to day. Avery woke with the dawn, because that was what her body wanted. She was never alone, but slept comfortably in her mother's bed, basking in the warmth of another living thing. Adoptive though she might be, Metis had…-

The first thing Quinn knew was pain. It burned through everything, so powerful that it should've sent him into shock. Maybe it had—he lay flat on the floor, barely breathing. It hurt so much in fact that he couldn't clearly feel one limb from another—all was pain, broken only by the occasional few notes of that strange melody echoing in his head. He mouthed along with it through numb lips, taking something, anything to keep himself from drifting away again. There were other sensations here,…

Lane had been looking for hours. Turning back to the convention had been an easy choice at first—all the data in the world about legendary Pokémon assembled into one place, obviously the answers would be here. But while there were whole sections about the climate instability caused by some recent disaster or another, and even some credibility given to an absurd region worshiping a goat-thing and some egg, Mew was almost deliberately absent. After an hour of finding nothing and ignoring texts from his…-

It took Eric just over an hour to take care of everything. He brought the small horse around to the back, then onto the kitchen table, where he could work in the brightest light. Only there could he easily strip away the creature's unusual clothing, and tend to his wounds. They weren't just “clothes,” though. The horse was armored, he had no doubt in his mind. Judging by his injuries, that armor might have saved the horse's life.Once it was off, and the animal underneath exposed in the bright light of…

Elisa was right to be worried about the trip. The primary threat came not from the wild Pokémon that separated them from the middle of Mt. Union— with the altitude rising and less available to eat, there were far fewer gigantic predators and dangerous fully evolved dragons. Mostly they saw birds and rodents, with an occasional brave deerling somehow scaling the slope not far away. This was actually an opportunity for Lane, who floated over to the little green Pokémon, ignoring her friends'…

Eric had broken his leg once. Those memories of pain were some of his first, when he was too small to understand the world and his sister could still walk. Being bitten by a wolf of wood and fury wasn't quite as bad, but it was definitely similar. But there could be no trip to a hospital for skilled doctors to tend to her wounds—instead, she had to make do with the best ministrations a horse could provide.She could do worse than Iron Feather to look after her. The stallion seemed to know what to do—how…

"I know what would do this," said a voice, from not far away. Quinn turned to look, staring through the broken trees and dead branches. A shadow lingered in the trees, floating at about his head level. Not alive, though not dead. Sable, eyes smoldering. "I remember the discussion, before my family and I became... what we are." Quinn floated closer, approaching the ghost. There was something fitting about the shadowy Pokémon in this place of death. Yet despite the name and nature of the…

They hiked together for hours through the jungle, long enough that Lane grew tired of flying and found a more comfortable perch on Elisa's shoulder. She had an excuse: she had to save her strength in case they encountered anything dangerous! There were plenty of dangerous things out in the jungle, though not nearly as many as they'd been led to believe. "None of these Pokémon attack humans on sight," Dominic said, when they were finally settling down to camp for the night.…

Gus was the first to emerge from cover. Despite the trees, his feathers and fur still looked a little scorched around the edges. Some part of Lotus still remembered what it was like to feel pain from heat, but that was a distant memory now. As distant as being human, and a dude."I was going to say you did that without blowing up," Gus began. "But you dropped the ball on that part, right at the end."She scooped the spell book up into her magic, then stomped out the embers burning on what was left of her…
