Shiloh should be used to this by now. The teleport came so unexpectedly that she didn't know how to react, and was helpless to stop herself. She barely had time to scream, bright lights blurring past her for an instant before she hit water. It felt like icy meltwater, so cold it made her instantly start shivering. Yet there was also heat rising from around her, in ways she didn't understand. At least the water wasn't deep. Her feet found the bottom—a flat cement pool. She touched up…-

Lane appeared outside the nursery, ears flat and tail drooping. She nearly fell out of the air from the effort of the simple teleport, but caught herself a few inches from the damp jungle floor. She touched both paws against it, breathing in the familiar heat and damp of the Guyana jungle. When the world was insane, at least she had some small refuge. The building might be human-sized, but it was so well-concealed that she had no fear of the location being discovered. She'd chosen a rocky chasm so far…

Shiloh groaned, shifting uneasily in his sleep. He felt as though he'd just had the worst workout of his life, every muscle and sinew aching and sore. He stirred slowly, but even as his mind returned, he remained disoriented. His legs felt so strange, his head didn't make sense. He could feel an entire pillow around him, from directions that confused him. "I think I've been... poisoned," he whispered. Even his voice sounded strange to his ears. It was high and feminine. Or maybe it…

Shiloh advanced through the destroyed laboratory, eyes on the fallen ultra ball. It lay atop a pile of women's clothes, that the clever Pokémon had tried to use to hide itself. Mew was easily the smartest Pokémon he had ever encountered—it kept Pokémon around it like a trainer, it could even speak his language. But in the end, it wasn't smart enough to fool a simple ultra ball. I told Professor Oak we didn't need to bother with a master ball. Save that expense for if I ever find…

Lane paced back and forth behind the computer, growing increasingly frustrated as the minutes passed. Within her little barrier the strange influence emanating from the ruined ship could not reach her—but maintaining such a powerful mental effect for so long was wearing her down. "How much longer?" she asked, nudging the Pokémon’s shoulder gently. "Not to rush you, Akiko. But I’m rushing you." She glared over her shoulder at Lane. She would probably think it was strange to see…

Landing on the roof meant avoiding many of the threats outside, but that was not the same as simply walking inside. Shiloh had been to this arena before, more than once. He had never seen it so full. Or at least, it had been full. There was ample evidence of the presence of soldiers here, the ill-fated Orre self-defense army. Unfortunately for them, it didn’t seem like this attempt at self-defense had done them any good. There were half a dozen chokepoints and reinforced fallbacks, and each one showed…

Lane's information from the Kanto soldier proved correct—Mt. Battle was more dangerous than anywhere else in Orre. There were hundreds of wild Pokémon milling about the structure from the outside, each one staking claim to nonsensical little plots of territory. It shifted constantly, with the flash of elemental energy and Pokémon attacks lighting the forest like a strobe. Lane didn't fight her way in. With Elisa's help, she probably could have. But she just didn't have the energy to…

Shiloh Lehman was the greatest Pokémon master to ever live. He knew it in his bones, the same way he knew that pleasure was good and pain was bad. He knew it every time he stepped onto a stadium floor, or went out into the wild to catch something new. He knew it with every scream of adoration from his fans. Most importantly, he knew it in the way he got what he wanted. When he told the Kanto Defense Board that he was going to travel aboard the first rescue ship to Orre, they hadn't batted an…

Lane stood atop the prow of the Kanto Defense rescue ship Thanatos, as it passed through a bank of thick fog. Thanks to the ship's aerofoils, it sailed at incredible speed, fast enough to lift her long pink hair into a trail behind her. Despite the terrible danger, she wore only an outfit that might be typical to any Pokémon trainer—short skirt with shorts underneath, a multilayered vest, and bits of pink jewelry clipped into her hair. And of course, she wouldn’t go anywhere without her scarf,…

Lyra Heartstrings stood upon the foundation of Platform 1, her magnetic boots holding her EVA suit firmly to the platform's exterior. Before her in the airless abyss, the vast ring of the Celestial glowed in its moorings. "I've never seen anything so beautiful."The Celestial was easily the largest structure ponies had ever built, a barrel-shaped vessel with a diameter of just over a kilometer and a length of several. Its shell was more-or-less uniform, save for the massive structural supports linking the…-
