    • Chapter Five Cover
      by Starscribe — 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…
    • Chapter Fifteen Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh wasn't quite sure what happened next. There was a bumpy ride up the cliffside, with water showering down around her. She saw the occasional flash of light, thought maybe she heard the roaring blades of the ornithopter—then she was somewhere safe. Time passed, it was hard to say how much. She was cold, damp, and dreamed miserable dreams. Dreams of Pokémon fighting and dying, of Briar and Mirage dragged away while she was powerless to help. She dreamed of guilt, wondering if and how the attack…
    • Chapter Eighteen Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh watched the tearful reunion, without getting anywhere near either of them. Her old human memories insisted that she shouldn't care what she was seeing here. It was right to be bitter towards Lane after what she'd done to her. The mew deserved to feel a little of the pain that she inflicted on others. But how could she stay resentful, knowing the ones Lane lost. It wasn't just the mother who suffered—Aspen lost her sisters. Shiloh herself had lost Briar, along with all the other…
    • Chapter Eight Cover
      by Starscribe — 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…
    • Chapter 9 Cover
      by Starscribe — Bed was a strange thing for a Pokémon. Lane hadn’t been aware enough to notice on her first night, when her mind was still utterly unable to process what had happened to her body. There was no such mercy on her second night. “This way, kitten,” Korina prompted, forcing her to fly the whole way. If Lane’s tail even dragged beneath her, the big mew shoved her up against the ceiling, so fast she was dazed momentarily by the impact. “Our nest is here, in case you forgot.” “I didn’t,” she…
    • Chapter 9 Cover
      by Starscribe — Lotus slept uneasily that night. In a single day, everything she thought she knew about her world was now taken away. Even finding a comfortable position wasn't easy--despite the size of her bed, no human position let her relax. Even when she finally found a way to rest, with her legs out to either side, that only let her physical discomfort fade into the deeper, emotional pain. Her body had been stolen, her financial future was uncertain, and some unknown, dangerous enemy from another world was now…
    • Chapter 9 Cover
      by Starscribe — It wasn't the light that woke Quinn, but something sharp and painful, digging into one of his hands. He stirred, then opened one eye to stare at whatever had caused so much pain. A tiny pink creature had latched onto his fingers, digging teeth into his skin. "W-what?" She released him, leaving a pair of dots where her canines had sunk into his skin, leaking amber-colored sap. "Sleeping too long!" Avery called. Her telepathy was somehow smaller than before, though simultaneously…
    • Chapter 8 Cover
      by Starscribe — Korina flew with Lane through the dense jungle foliage, just fast enough that he didn’t try to separate from her. He might be able to fly—he still wasn’t sure—but he didn’t have enough control to avoid hitting branches and ariados webs and trunks that came in so fast he could barely recognize any of them. She watched his face as they came down, grinning. “Don’t worry kitten, I’ll teach you all of that. But not yet. I want to make you into a mew, not meat paste.” Lane heard something…
    • Chapter 8 Cover
      by Starscribe — "I can't believe I almost missed it!" Iron Feather exclaimed. He took the book from Lotus, turning it over in his hooves.She let him have it without much resistance, backing towards the door. She felt much better after cleaning up, but some part of her would feel strange until she got dressed. "You expected to realize I could... puke books?" she asked. She still had a towel wrapped around her lower body, but in practice it didn't cover much. She couldn't get tight without restricting her legs, which…
    • Chapter 8 Cover
      by Starscribe — Avery was far less intimidating to him than she had been a few moments ago. Quinn floated down beside her, close enough to feel the heat radiating from her body. Tiny limbs twitched, and thin claws emerged from between her toes with each movement. Not the kind that would hurt Quinn by mistake, though. Instead of fighting danger, this creature now radiated a sense of familiarity and desperate need for help. This is a newborn without a mother. Does that make me her mom? The kitten shivered. When she spoke,…
