Quinn flew into the dark, faster than he'd ever flown in his life. Not that that was saying much; he'd only been able to fly for two days, and still didn't feel like he knew what he was doing. Purpose drove him, a life that would be lost if he could not repair the damage he had done. One day I'll see the readings, and I'll know what went wrong. If anything failed in that accelerator, it should've been with a whimper. If he'd died alone, that would be one thing—why was…-

Quinn watched his friend against the tree struggling to breathe. The stink of decay hung heavily over her, as her body struggled and faltered. Without hospital care, she would probably not last another night. As badly as Quinn wanted to, he didn't think he could bring her to a hospital. He wasn't entirely sure how his powers had worked the first time! There are other Pokémon who can. Quinn was not the only Celebi in existence, obviously. Maybe if he could get their attention, another one could…

Quinn should have seen this coming. As they crept towards the rear parking lot, no less than three harsh figures in Plasma uniforms shuffled around the space. One lingered by the door, another by the security booth leading to the road, and a third patrolled between cars. All were armed, and looked to have Poké Balls protruding from their vests and coats as well. There would be no quiet exit from the BBLEC. Quinn, Avery, and their Pokémon companions lingered in the trees overlooking the parking lot,…

They could talk! Technically, Quinn could always talk, but only at that moment could Avery make sense of what he was saying. It meant his attempt to talk to her had worked, that the mental connection he felt was real. He wouldn’t waste that chance. "He's not the only one here from the funding organization," Quinn said, gesturing down at the fallen guard. "They had a whole team here to protect their particle trap. A dozen people across the campus. I think we blew it up." Avery…

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,…

Quinn stared into the mirror, running his comb through his perfect hair for the tenth time. "Brai?" asked a voice from just behind him, interrupting Quinn's careful attention. He glanced back at the Pokémon, which lingered just a few steps behind him in the narrow bathroom. The Pokémon carried something under his arm—a green leather folio, with his full name embossed near the bottom. Pages packed close inside, bound by several matching rubber bands. "You're telling me I'm…

Everything hurt. Abigail struggled and groaned against the strange weight pressing on her, shifting, fighting clothes that didn't seem to fit. The pain was much worse on one side of her body, suffering that brought with it a wave of directional disorientation. She managed to open one eye. Not quite move her head yet—that would take more time. For now, she could only look forward, staring along the dark plastic carpet covered in discarded wrappers and miscellaneous stains. The legs of rows and rows of…-

You Aren't Alone Anymore 68%Wayfinder was on a journey.She did not know where she was, how she'd gotten there, or how long she'd been walking. But she was traveling somewhere important, and she could not stop until she arrived there.Great billowing fog rose up around Way as she walked, curling where her legs lifted then dissolving again as she continued. It split and reformed around her, obscuring anything more than a few feet in any direction. What she could see were enormous trees, each one on a scale…-

Bring Them Along (98%)After so long trapped within the boundaries of the Isolation Zone, Wayfinder found every fresh mile beyond its gates a fresh, frightening step out into parts unknown. Some part of her remained tense every second, in case the impotent federal authorities decided that her brief departure from the boundaries was enough cause to kill her. Would she hear whatever missile they sent for her before it struck?The question went unanswered, because there was no attack. The greatest danger they…

Complete the Overgrowth Spell (93%)"I want to complete that vaccine as much as you do, Ruby," Wayfinder began. "But the whole point of involving Sunburst in the magical aspects of this government is that he actually knows this stuff. It's his magic, and I promised I would help with it. We'll have to gather more when this is finished."Ruby's ears angled inward, and her tail flicked sharply from side to side. She glanced between the two of them, as though she might start shouting. Then she sighed, slumping…
