Like a horse that had been expertly trained, Dante sunk to his knees, allowing his back to be properly exposed to the child in question. He did his best to not think about the fact that he never got to give his brother piggyback rides. That all of those opportunities had blown away with the smoke of their former home. The place where possibilities were endless, and suffering in the world had melted away. Reality was far worse than the dreams of childhood. Rotten and ugly. He shook away the thoughts the one might cobwebs in the corner of a room.
"Giddy up!"
Minji stopped, spinning in a circle so fast she almost lost her balance. Not a care in the world, of course, as she came running back to them with a grin on her face. "You're too big!" She yelled, matter of factly, in Dante's face. It was in the way that could only be considered cute if a small child did it. "Pick me up! Pick me up!" Kai tilted his head at her, only having to raise a slight brow for her to add on a "Pleeeeease!"

re: udg reblog,
clearly the solution to “oh i love this but i don’t think anyone should play it” is to write a fic with only the good parts and none of the bad parts but then you have this big empty space where the bad parts were so you just make something up that seems vaguely believable
that seems like a normal thing normal people do right?
RIGHT?
It’s always correct and totally won’t ever lead to agony as you look at the canon and scream because my god how are you supposed to salvage something this stupid why are you doing this you used to be so normal and not care oh god why does attacking the little girl make her pants fly off oh god why is delta a character
#ask#i love zwg truly. but i understand the agony#if i wanted to make a better version of udg or really any dr game i have no clue where id start my god theres so much happening#obviously the clown nonsense that is komaeda in that game needs to stay because theres really nothing better than seeing him be bullied#by a bunch of grade schoolers who throw milkshakes at him and draw on his face with sharpie#oh oh and the sexy byakuya fantasies need to stay too because if youre bad at the puzzles like me he just bullies you#its dry catered to the shit me and my sister meme about akjsks#the shit with the kids though..........yikes#also fuck shirokuma i cant stand him literally the most obnoxious character ever created#it felt good to kill him#i was doing a proper playthrough of udg last year see cuz id never played it myself#just watched playthroughs when i was 14 and edgy and had no frame of reference for good writing yet#so it was fun not only re experiencing the utter. obscenity that is this game and also trying to figure out the mechanics#its kinda fun sometimes until the boss fights happen then its like actually the worst thing ever i may have needed to walk around angrily#and basically i was on ch4 and stopped when there was a mission with haiji cuz i just. needed to stop#havent played since im too frightened aksjks#and yeah the agony of trying to rewrite a game is shared cuz im going through it with p3#and basically basically i have been trying so hard and was in a good zone but basically i snapped recently#cuz the kirijo group stuff my god its just so bad that i like theres just no way i can make this game make sense#i have the one project where everything is restructured but then i have the stuff where like. I have to make this fit the game structure#loosely cuz it was just supposed to be a character analysis fic but basically my brain hath broken its kaboom#though p3 is a lot more workable than ztd is my god theres just too much happening at once there aksjks#you are so brave for what youve done Kay 🙏#and to any poor soul who wants to do a rewrite of a frustrating story......have fun. but watch out

Rita manga summary + differences from the show
Ch1: (timeline: during ep4. Rita is in the Racles spin-off between ep 2 &3. ch10 established ch2-9 is Rita's memories of ep1)
Morfonia was crying for help, led to intro fight scene out-of-suit. ep5 intro speech.
After a trial, staffers approached Rita with different problems. Rita directed them to make the prisoners fill up holes from Bugnarok attacks and use next year's budget in advance for repairs.
Moru handed Rita a report on percedents and Rita noted she fell asleep during the trial. Rita insisted to investigate this next case on their own and Moru wondered their refusal is because they were hiding something, like finally buying new weapons for Gokkan.
Disappointed, Moru urged Rita to think of better solutions for the Bugnarok problem instead of overworking, to which Rita replied, "Protecting the country is the duty of the king."
Moru reflected that while other kings were headstrong, so was theirs.
Rita picked up a piece of paper and turned to their room. They refused to share with Moru what's on their mind. Moru asked what should she do with the piling paperwork and Rita said they'll figure it out later. Rita asked Moru to leave because they were going to get changed.
Moru thought Rita seemed different since the day of the Quintet Alliance. Behind the door, Rita unzipped their mask and read Gira's wanted poster.
Ch2 & 3: retelling of ep1 up to Yanma leaving the meeting. Says ep1 happened one month before start of the manga.
Rita asked Moru to record the meeting just in case, they had a bad feeling about this. Moru yawned and put their phone on the floor to Rita's annoyance.
Yanma walked away and Rita stopped him. Added internal monologue: Rita doesn't want the treaty to fall apart now after everything. Rita tightened their grip on their sword as they figured Bugnarok could reawaken any minute now.
Ch4: direct retelling, bugnarok attack + 🦋🌼🐝 henshin
Ch5: fight scene. Himeno got in the way of Rita's shot. Rita pondered on how come the kings can't unite as one in face of the bugnarok threat. They remembered Karras's teaching: "It is Gokkan's duty to connect the nations with the law."
Gira is saved by Rita from a falling rubble. He questioned where had Racles and his royal army gone and rushed towards the castle. (In the show, Himeno questioned Racles's whereabouts and thus prompted Gira to find him)
Reminded, Rita contacted Morfonia who was hiding in the temp shelter near the castle. She refused to go near it even before Rita told her to locate Racles. Turned out Morfonia forgot the king's hotline inside the throne room and she asked Rita check it out themself by connecting to it.
Ch6: Rita witnessed Gira and Racles's confrontation from "It's Yanma Gast who started this" to Gira taking the sword + evil king speech. (this is on video record)
The signal fizzled after Racles declared war so Rita headed towards the castle. They are blocked from access by the castle's biometric security. Morfonia came to find them and showed them Gira's tyrant speech.
There is a detransformation jingle/slogan: 王武解放 (~ ou bu kai hou) lit. release of royal arms
Ch7 & 8: Gira henshin and summoned King-Ohger.
Rita moved to bring Gira in for questioning but the Shugoddom guards surrounded him first. Racles, in his floating TV, asked "Your Honour, International Supreme Chief Justice" to arrest the traitor Gira in the name of Chikyuu's order.
(國際最高裁判長殿. '-tono' is an antiqudated suffix that is only used ino official documents nowadays. In history, it meant respect for those above you but nowadays it's used by the higher-rank to address those lower politely. Genderless, lower than '-sama'.)
Ch9: Racles issued a warrant for Gira but Yanma stole him first. The Alliance Day completely fell apart for Rita. They remembered that they were chosen as the previous king's retainer at 5. Rita scream.
Ch10: flashback. Rita was lying on the floor hugging two medium moffuns.
Karras told Rita to become strong to fulfill the duty of Gokkan: to connect the nations with the law.
"Since that day, my storybooks became judgements and codes of law."
Rita was appointed king by the will of Karras at 10 and their first case was to put her killer on a life sentence. (note: Karras and Shiron are not named in the manga)
Since then, Rita never played like a child again. It's either the court or the prison, day after day, year after year. They gave everything to uphold Gokkan's mission.
But now everyone…
Rita Bean Theatre in their imagination:
"Moffun, how come that man can trasform? Not only that, he can summon the King-Ohger from legends too!
Only those qualified to be king should be able to transform… That Racles even gave me an order… (imaginary Racles: Wounldn't you be so kind to lend me your help?)
Death penalty.
You are mixing in your personal feelings…
I know…"
Rita cheered themself up through Moffun and decided to uphold their duty despite couldn't figure out why everything went wrong.
Morfonia knocked on the door, a video call from Racles. Rita said they knew what Racles was going to say and told Morfonia to turn him down because they were leaving.
Rita departed to Toufu for Gira's arrest.

I think safe ships are boring. I well aware that greenstorm, Llorumi, ZanexOverlord whatever that's called,* insert more enemy x hero ships here* are toxic, unsafe, criminal in some cases. But I don't read fanfiction for the slowburn now they live happily ever after endings. At least not between this type of dynamic
Especially if they're actual enemies. I don't want them to be happy together. And grow and learn to love and forgive the atrocities and stuff. That's just delusional.
If I'm reading a hero×villain story im there mostly for the conflict. The wrestling mania of having a crush on the worst person on the planet. Thinking that this person beat me up yesterday but I'm still gonna kiss them. The overall conflict of having to explain to other protagonists why on earth they run back to this very evil person. Figuring it out themselves why they like this person and why they keep doing it.
Safe ships do the same thing. Over and over. Kai x Cole ch1 they're pining, ch2 almost kiss, ch3 actual kiss, Ch4 random event or miscommunication, ch5 IVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU COLE!
Most safe ships have this exact or very similar formula. It's repetitive and so very very very very bland
I suppose the sin is that I like unsafe ships because there is more uncertainty and more to work with and are almost always guaranteed a bad or emotionally complicated ending. And you don't get that energy most of the time with more safe ships like Lava or Techno because to make that conflict with *good* characters, you have to be really ooc to get there. l And no I don't think it's hot to be beaten up or support abusive relationships. But in fanfiction it is fun in way.
it's complicated idk man
I do get where you're coming from. exploring bad relationships is always entertaining. Again, if you're not shipping any of these romantically I don't see a problem. I love me some Lloyd hating himself for still liking harumi one shots.
but like... Zane x Overlord. what even is the... what would...
anyway, maybe step away from the very edge. Try some AUs maybe? That's an easy way to switch up dynamics so that outcomes are a little more uncertain. I've seen some really devastating stuff be done with pixane, and that's like the most pure ship.
But also, yeah, fanfic writers, healthy relationships have real problems sometimes. make it interesting. there's a place for fluff, but get some stakes in there.
#challenge to all the writers#write your fav ship- bad ending#if you do please link below#this is a legit fun prompt to me#ninjago#thanks anon!#give me your sins#sin

C’est un gaz à effet de serre qui disparaît après un certain temps. Le méthane que la vache produit naturellement va disparaître au bout d’une dizaine d’années. « En comparaison, le dioxyde de carbone (CO2) d’une voiture prend environ 1000 an avant de disparaître de l’atmosphère, alors que le méthane (CH4) émis par la vache provient de la nature et des plantes qu’elle a mangées », explique Jean-Philippe Laroche, un agronome expert en production laitière.
Selon lui, la production laitière peut contribuer à l’atténuation du réchauffement climatique. « Si on diminue le méthane de nos vaches, celui dans l’atmosphère va diminuer aussi. Ce qui n’est pas le cas avec le CO2. » C’est pourquoi les producteurs de lait du Kay-Bec ont récemment annoncé l’ambitieux projet d’atteindre la carboneutralité.
Pour y arriver, il y a plusieurs stratégies à mettre en place sur nos fermes. On peut offrir aux vaches des fourrages plus digestibles (qui font moins roter!) et améliorer la gestion des troupeaux et la gestion du fumier.
Le bogue, c'est ptête les négationnistes qui veulent péter dans la face des apôtres du char à piles et garder leur privilège d'éternels véritables pollueurs.

Isle Connections Ch4 Familiar Faces
(Warning: Y/n has a fight with Avery. Mentioning of toxic relationships/families. This chapter will probably cover a period expanding over a few weeks to a few months. Will slightly reference the Twilight Wings series.)
You were confused about both of those guys to say the least...but you weren't sure about anything right now. And Gloria was right. So far the most either of them had done was be rude and try to cheat, even though Kara's way could've gotten someone hurt. Plus they did apologize and they were being punished instead of Mustard brushing them off which was good..
But you'd still be keeping a VERY close eye on both of them!
Bit enough of that. You were excited to see what surprise Mustard was going to gift Gloria. So after some rest and a quick lunch, you and Gloria both gathered back in the main training room to meet Mustard and see what he had to say.
"Ah. There you are, Gloria," he greeted you both with a smile, "Keeping this old man waiting huh? Since you completed all three trials, I give you the secret of the master dojo." You were expecting him to pull out a new uniform or maybe actual armor but instead he held up a...pokeball? "Now then. Come on out."
The pokeball was given a light toss. Light sparkled out and revealed to you both a... Little bear cub wearing a white sash tied around its head? The strange pokemon got you both to look wide eyed in surprise. It was SO CUTE!! The absolutely adorable little pokemon struck a pose immediately like a martial artist kicking and throwing a few punches before it paused finally seeming to notice you two and Silver staring at it. It froze before gaining a frightened look, and turned to flee and dove behind Mr. Mustard's legs. After a few seconds peeking out from behind him.
"AW! The wee thing's so cute!," Gloria gushed making Mustard chuckle.
"This pokemon is in fact the secret armor of the master dojo," he explained, "Say hello to kubfu. I know. I know. It's tiny. But raise it with diligence and it'll become strong enough to see you through any battle like a suit of armor. No opponent will ever get past it. This one in particular has amazing potential. Problem is it's a bit shy. It doesn't seem to have much confidence in itself. So I was thinking maybe if it joined you I'm your training here, that'll help break it out of it's shell a little bit. So take good care of kubfu, Kay? It's now in your hands." He held the pokeballs out to her...and she slowly accepted it in awe.
Wait...The kubfu has a similar problem to Gloria. Did that mean that Mustard planned this out in the beginning? This could actually work out really well for Gloria!
"I won't let ye down, Sir!," Gloria gave a determined face clutching the ball to herself. "I promise ta train extra hard and help em out!"
Mustard smiled wider. "I'm glad to hear that because the special training I'm going to give you will be hard, but if you're willing to work then I'm sure you'll surpass it soon! Now then the first thing for you to do is to become best friends with Kubfu." Said Pokemon perked out a little more from behind his leg. "You need to build trust. Kubfu really hasn't had the chance to explore the world outside the dojo so maybe it'll help you become better friends if you let it have a look around. Once you're best buddies, we'll start harder training in earnest! Just stop by and let me know once you think you're ready for that."
Gloria nodded at him before looking down at the kubfu and kneeling slowly. "Hi, lik guy. Oh you're so cute. Do ya wanna have a snack with me?" The pokemon looked back to Mustard who just nodded before it slowly shuffled out and nodded up at her. "Kay then! Let's go n' get us some grub!"
"Gloria." She looked at Mustard. "You're real training will begin next Monday. If you're really are serious about this training then you shall need to listen to what I say."
She nodded standing back up. "Ya got it! I'm as ready as I'll ever be!"
He smiled wider. "Good. For now focus on bonding with Kubfu over the weekend."
"Oh! M' not done with my dex challenge yet!," she excitedly looked back to you. "We can all go exploring together an' finish it! And we can also go explorin' for those guys missing digletts!!"
You nodded. "Yeah. I bet exploring places together would be a great idea for you guys to bond."
And so it began. Gloria started training hard with the kubfu and you tagged along on her adventures of finding random digletts and taking pictures left and right. The shy pokemon was still shy hiding from everyone but it seemed to warm up to Silver a bit the longer they were out together and Gloria's contagious adventurous spirit seemed to rub off on it a little bit. Then Monday came and her real training started. She was woken up bright and early with everyone else and made to train alongside all the others including Avery and Klara. Sit ups,push ups, running laps, but most of all battles. Hard battles that Mustard initiated between her and the older more experienced students in front of a crowd always. Forcing her to get out of her comfort zone and work hard to defeat them while everyone watched. It was pretty hard work like he promised it would be but Gloria as you learnt was VERY determined and stubborn so she would push through it in time. You were just stuck watching from the sidelines cheering her on as she did so. You also saw Avery and Klara take part in their punishments. Sometimes you'd see them doing exercises until they were sweating like crazy as Ms. Honey or Mustard watched to make sure they did it. Sometimes you passed a room in the girls' wing and heard Klara whine and grumble as she scrubbed a toilet. Other times you saw them taking care of the dojo's pokemon. One particular day you heard music coming from the kitchen. Wait. Not music singing.
"Hush Little poke don't say a word ~ Avery's gonna pick you a oran berry.~"
It sounded like a pokemon twist on the classic hush little baby song. And it was coming from the kitchen area. Curious you poked your head in and paused at what you saw. Avery was knelt petting the slowpokes and hummed to their happy faces. You continued to stare at them for a moment before Silver just walked up to you and chirped . Causing you to jump and Avery immediately turn around and you broth froze as you made eye contact. For a long moment none of you said anything before you sputtered.
"Uh...S-Sorry," you held up your hands, "I was just getting a snack for my drizzle! I didn't know you were using the kitchen."
"I-... I-It's perfectly alright," he squeaked out looking embarrassed.
"Yeah..Um. Gloria's waiting for me to help her find digletts. Ok. Bye!"
You quickly fled the awkward scene snatching Silver up in your arms with a loud squeak. Avery still paused watching you retreat before shoving his face in his hat and screaming in embarrassment. It seemed Avery started to avoid you more after that awkward encounter which you also didn't mind. To get over the embarrassment you just focused on helping out Gloria with her side quests outside of her training to put it in the back of your mind. However you both were again be surprised a week later. You'd both just gotten back from your little expedition to find more digletts and their trainer was so happy he kept gifting Gloria Alola Region pokemon. He must've really valued his digletts. When you both walked up to the dojo with your pokemon, you ran into none other than Klara who was sweeping the steps by herself with Ms. Honey watching.
"G' afternoon, Klara!," Gloria greeted waving a hand to her catching her attention. "Tis a nice day huh?"
Klara sighed. "I guess so. If you don't mind working."
"Yikes! Ya still working on that punishment?"
"Master has the last day of our hard work literally marked on his calendar. Until then I'm gonna have to work hard ...But if it means I'll be a gym leader then I'll happily train hard and accept defeat!" Your brows rose. Well..That was certainly a positive response considering how she was before. "Again sorry for everything. Hey. Do you think we can battle again sometime? Fairly this time! I've been training hard and I bet I can beat you this time!"
Gloria lit up! "Yeah! I'd love too! We can totally battle again!"
Klara smiled. "Hehe. I'll be looking forward to it-"
"Look out, Ladies!"
You three jumped back as two of the male students attending the dojo struggling to carry ..A giant vending machine? Behind them two delivery men wheeled past another vending machine and behind them was two more delivery men carrying a rotomi machine. You all watched as the eight men walked by with Ms. Honey guiding them.
"What the world is that about?," you asked.
"Oh. A couple corviknight came by with a big delivery and a new visitor just a few minutes ago," Klara said. "Apparently Ms. Honey is updating the dojo."
"OH! That's what Ms. Honey meant by a delivery with the watts." You both looked at her. "Y'know? That power supply that comes from the wishing stones n' dynamax dens. Ya can use 'em as currency n' Galar. Ms. Honey said she needed a lot so I gave 'er all the watts I had. I was nay usin' them anyways."
"How many did you give her?"
"Um...I think three million three hundred eighty thousand." You both gawked at her. The broom slipping from Kara's hands and onto the steps. "....What? I told ye I never used 'em."
"Uh...Right. Anyways..You said there was a visitor here?" You looked back to Klara.
Klara shook her head. "Yeah. A short kid like you." She pointed at Gloria. "Only he had this hair color that reminded me of poison types. It was all purple-"
"That sounds like Hop!" Gloria's suddenly yell had you both wincing as she beamed brightly before turning to the dojo. "HOP, HOP, HOP, HOP!!" Throwing up her arms she dashed for the dojo.
"Wow...She sure has spirit."
"Tell me about it. Try stopping her from jumping into danger all the time." You took a moment to look Klara up and down... before sighing making a choice. "Hey, Klara." She looked at you. "I just...Wanted to apologize for how I acted towards you." She blinked surprised. "I was pretty mean to you too and I wanted to apologize for everything I did. Do you think we could forget everything that happened and start over?"
Klara still stared before smiling. "TOTES!! I was a jerk too so I totally deserved it but like now I can start over with everything! I'm still gonna beat your friend though!"
You smiled. "Thanks. I look forward to IT-"
You were interrupted when Gloria just grabbed you by the arm and yanked you by the arm behind her. "C'MON Y/N!! DON'T KEEP US WAITIN'!"
You were yanked along by Gloria across the way and right up to the door that she threw open hard enough to make it slam loudly against the wall catching everyone off guard and to look over as you both came in but stopped just a few feet in the middle of the room. Mustard was there as well and didn't even flinch as Gloria came crashing in only smiling at you both. However you both interrupted him talking to someone. That someone had purple hair and turned to look at you both with bright golden eyes blinking. There was a moment of silence as the two stared before a smile graced his features.
"Oh. Hey!" Hop smiled brightly at Gloria. "Welcome back, Glory."
"HOP!!" Before anyone could stop her, Gloria rushed him. Practically tackling him in a hug that had him teetering back waving his arms before the two friends fell backwards onto the ground. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!"
"It's nice to see you too, Gloria." Hop managed to say from his now sitting position smiling brightly despite having been half tackled to the floor hugging one of his best friends back. "I missed you too!"
"Let him get some breathing space, Gloria."
Hop snapped up hearing a familiar voice. "Y/N!" Smiling he pulled both of them up standing and broke the hug to smile widely at you. "Boy! It sure has been a while! Things haven't been the same without you guys and Victor back at Postwick." He then smiled at Gloria again. "But it looks like you've been working hard keeping up your training here at the dojo eh?"
"What are you doing here?!," Gloria piped up completely happy. "I thought ya was studyin' under Sonia!"
"Surprise!" Hop held up his hands with a bright smile. "That's just the reaction I was hoping for! I'm here at the Isle of Armor to research more of that dynamax phenomenon and gather a few max mushrooms samples for Sonia."
"Why isn't Sonia doing that?"
"She's doing some really important research in the Crown Tundra for the Chairwoman, so she asked me to take care of things here! And I'm glad I did. OH!" He turned back to Gloria. "I almost forgot! You're never gonna believe this! Victor got picked up as a gym leader in training too!"
You both gasped. "No! Really?!"
He nodded. "Nessa hand picked him herself right after we saved Galar again!"
"You did what again?!"
"Oh right! You both dunno. I'll be happy to tell ya everything but first I gotta get settled in."
"Yes." All of you turned back to Mustard now who smiled ever patiently. "I heard that you two were friends. How delightful! Hop here was just asking permission to camp out on the Isle. But where's the fun in mucking about in the mud? I was telling him he should just stay here at the dojo."
"I mean it'd be loads easier than camping out for a long while, but are you sure I wouldn't get in the way?"
"Everyone's welcome to stay here at the dojo. Don't be shy, My Boy. Besides we're practically family already. You're the little brother of our Leon after all! Hmm...We still have some max mushrooms stored away that Gloria got us a while ago. I'll dig those out so you can bring this Sonia person some samples. In the meantime feel free to make yourself at home! I'll have Honey set up a room for you and get you a room key later."
"Yeah. It's true. Lee did train here when we were both kids. Alright. You twisted my arm. Hope you don't regret it because I'm staying."
Mustard laughed. "The more the merrier. I'm as pleased as a gold plated punch bowl!"
Hop bowed. "Thanks so much, Mr. Mustard!" Hop blinked looking upside down at Silver and Gloria's kubfu. "No way!" He snapped back around startling the tiny bear pokemon. "Is that a kubfu?!"
Said kubfu dove behind Gloria's legs before peeking out. "Yeah! Yeah! I've been trainin' with him forever!"
"That's so cool! They evolve into ursifu but they can only evolve a certain way...but I forgot what that is."
"Ah! That reminds me." Mustard again spoke up. "I've got something I've been meaning to tell you about Kubfu, Gloria. Or it's evolution ursifu. The truth is the lovable rascal is capable of gigantamaxing too."
Gloria looked shocked. "Wait really?!"
"Yes but it's a bit tricky since it can't stand the taste of max mushrooms so max soup is off the menu unless you can find a way to make it more appealing. There's a certain something you can find here on the isle though that'll make even ursifu gobble up the soup. And that certain something is.." he paused for a long time giving you all a serious look..... Looking at them so long Gloria and Hop exchanged glances. .....Mustard suddenly smiled goofily again. "Actually. I forgot what it was. Oopsie daisies."
"Are you kidding me?!" "No!" Both looked defeated.
"Hahaha! You're more fun to tease than your brother ever was!" Mustard chuckled making Hop give him a deadpanned look. "But the certain something I'm thinking of is sure to make the soup more palatable to kubfu once Gloria manages to evolve him and it has something to do with another pokemon." Another pokemon? That was a big clue right there! "Now I think I'll leave you two to figure out just what it is! Give it a good think! You're on your own kiddos! he world is your cloyster so get cracking!" He turned to leave but paused and turned back to Gloria. "But don't think you can slack off on your training just because your friend is here. I still expect you to join me for training."
Gloria nodded. "Of course, Sir!"
Mustard smiled again before he walked off making Hop shake his head. "Uh...Is this how you're training usually goes?"
"Pretty much."
"Yikes." Hop shook his head again before smiling. "I've got no rapidash in this race, but even I'm curious about this certain something. I think I once read something about ursifu in a book too.." he hummed thinking hard and crossing his arms. "It's the wushu pokemon right? The book said it lives in the mountains of a far off region."
"Does it really?"
"Huh? You didn't know? Don't you have one?"
"Tis still just a kubfu."
"Oh..right. But I read somewhere ursifu is mad for some kind of sticky honey!" A 'AHA' look of realization came over his face. "Gloria! Honey is made from the nectar of flowers and plants right?! And Mustard said the special thing comes from another pokemon! So maybe we need some nectar made by pokemon that look like flowers and plants!"
Gloria lit up. "Hop, you're a genius!!"
"And if we're looking for those kinds of pokemon I'd reckon they'd be in the forest! I'll be able to look into dynamaxing along the way so count me in on exploring! There's a forest beyond that big marshland right?" Gloria nodded and he lit up. "Bet I can beat you there!"
"You're on!"
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" You held out your arms making them both stop. "It's too late in the day to go out again and we just got back, Gloria! And Hop hasn't even gotten his room yet either!" You rose a brow crossing your arms. "Besides, you also have training tomorrow with Mustard. Remember?"
Gloria groaned. "That's right. I totally forgot."
"It's ok!," Hop assured her with a smile. "We can go the day after tomorrow and look around! And then I can tell you guys everything that happened to me and Vic!"
Gloria again lit up like a firework. "An' I can tell you everything that happened here! And ya can help me find all these digletts and finish up me dex challenge!"
"I'd love to!! This is gonna be awesome! Just like old times!"
Indeed it was. Just like old times. The day after the next you had to stop the two from just taking off without you and grab them back to stick together. Hop and Gloria didn't right away go to try and find this mysterious nectar. Instead they spent most of that day looking for digletts and catching up. Gloria told Hop all about her trials and new rivals here and in turn Hop filled you both on everything that happened back home. Apparently two troublesome twin who you met before had discovered the ancient grave of one of the heroes because they just so happened to be descendants of said heroes and had a book from him passed down. And then they went around Galar releasing wild dynamax pokemon on a rampage in the gyms AFTER stealing the ancient shield from Zacian and Zanazenta. Then Hop and Victor with help from Sonia and Piers had to go around and fight all these pokemon and chase them down only to finally corner them in Hammerlocke where they forced poor Zamazenta to power up painfully. So they had to battle and calm them down. Luckily they were able to get the ancient shield back and have the two troublesome twins arrested and returned the ancient weapons to the pokemon.
..... Y'know. Typical every day hero stuff in the world of pokemon.
You were shellshocked for a while by this but considering every you've been through up til now, quickly had just accepted it. Oh. Also apparently Hop decided to be a scientist like Sonia(which you already knew would happen-) and was studying under her. Good for him! Also apparently Nessa had taken an interest in Victor after seeing his actions during the gym challenge and helping to save her gym. She had offered to train him as the new water type gym leader which he happily accepted and you thought that actually suited him nicely. However Victor had his own problems battling. Being too serious and not having too much confidence in his battling skills unlike Gloria who was VERY confident about battling and only suffered from stage fright. Which she was really getting better at! Mustard's training was really working! Leon also sent him to get training with someone in the Crown Tundra. According to what Hop told you, Victor actually seemed to be getting much better too. He was actually letting loose a little and having fun battling and building up confidence. Good. You were glad Victor was getting better too.
But back to the present day...
When not training the three of you explored the Forest of Focus. Hop suggested you find a liligant first to try it's nectar. And you all found one...Sorta. You all managed to find a lost petilil. The poor thing had apparently been separated from it's mother and had clung to Hop's leg until you all managed to find her. Gloria laughed the entire time and you had to admit it was funny and pretty cute. The grateful liligant was more than happy to allow Hop to take some nectar from the giant flower on her forehead. Unfortunately it wasn't the nectar you were looking for so Hop suggested you all find an applin instead since apparently they also were a pokemon that created nectar and were actually pretty common pokemon on the isle of armor. You all managed to find an applin but it rolled away quicker than you expected it to and all three of you lost sight of it before you knew it. Stopping at a fork in the clearing of trees.
"Crud!," Hop stomped down a foot looking left and right down the paths. "Which way did it go?!"
"I don't know. Ugh. What do we do now?"
"The fastest way to find it would be to split up and cover more ground."
"What?!" You snapped to Hop. "Absolutely not! What if you two get lost?!"
"I'll stick with Gloria and we'll go together!," Hop easily assured you. "We have our phones so we can call for help or use a map to get back! And Glory has her cinderance! We can have them shoot fire in the air like a flare if nothing else works!"
"Yeah!" Gloria piped up. "C'mon Y/n. Relax and help."
Well...Mustard did say Gloria needed to do more things herself. You groaned but nodded. "Alright. You guys go that way and I'll go right. But keep your phones handy and call me if you find it or need help. And try not to get lost."
"Don't worry, Y/n! Besides getting lost is Lee's thing not mine."
"Well don't pull a Leon." Both laughed but agreed before turning and excitedly making their way down the left path leaving you with Silver. With a sigh you turned to start walking down the right way. "C'mon Silver. Let's go find that applin and get back with the others. Keep your eyes open for an applin.
With a chirp Silver loyally followed you down the right forest pathway. The warm sun beat down on you and the sun shown brightly above the sky. A lot of wild pokemon could be seen running around the forest between the flora and fawna. Playing, sleeping, eating, and just living out here in general. It was beautiful. You wished you had more of this peaceful life growing up. Such bliss. However you didn't see a single applin anywhere. Darn it! But you kept looking and looking and looking. Farther and farther you went. Looking everywhere and pushing apart tall grass and bushes to peer behind them. No such luck. Only finding every pokemon besides applins. Ugh! Where could it have gone?! You were just about to turn around and call it quits since clearly the applin didn't come down this way or if it did it was already long gone when-
B O O M-!!
What sounded like a giant crash sound sent pokemon running away from you and Silver diving behind you once again as you turned up to the sky. You knew what that noise was by now. Someone was having a pokemon battle out here. But...who? You were practically in the middle of nowhere! Maybe someone was catching some wild pokemon? For whatever reason your curiosity got the better of you and you started to head towards where the sounds came from. Bushes and grass pushed out of your way as the sounds of a man's desperate pleas cutting through the air making you feel a wave of panic and run faster. Someone was in trouble! They needed help!
"Where do you think you're going?!," a familiar man's voice asked. "You WILL battle me again!"
"Aaah! P-Please put me down!", another man's voice yelled out.
You ran and ran until you eventually rounded around a giant tree and froze at what you saw. A beautiful clearing stood before you beautifully covered in wild flowers however that wasn't what caught your attention. It was the two men in the middle of the field. Standing there clear as day was Avery with his back to you and one hand held up. Above him in the air was another man who bore a panicked look surrounded by the same blue aura that was levitating Avery's pokeballs. He frantically ran through the air kicking his legs and arms about to no avail not able to escape Avery as he levitated him in the air.
"Please put me down!," the floating man pleaded again almost on the verge of crying. "I-I don't want to battle anymore!"
"Not until you battle me again! I barely have any worthy opponents on this isle so you'll do!," Avery refused bringing him closer.
You stared in disbelief before you scowled hard at the sight. "YOU PUT HIM DOWN NOW!!!" Avery jumped as whirled around wide eyed. Freezing as soon as he saw your form stomping up to him only to stop right in front of him and pointing at his face. "What the heck do you think you're doing?! Put that guy down!"
Avery still seemed in a state of shock before shaking his head and frowning. "Now you see here! This man is my opponent and I will have another battle!"
"Are you confused?! Or insane?!," you shouted back to him pointing at the still panicking man. "That's holding someone hostage!"
"I don't expect you to understand of course. No one would understand my problems with-"
He didn't get get to say anything else when two hands grabbed his shirt front and YANKED his tall form downwards to stare deeply at your snarling face as your hands balled into tight fists holding his still. "Alright. Listen up you wannabe psychic psycho! Since apparently you can't read minds I'll spell it out for you instead! What you're doing is basic kidnapping and holding someone hostage! You don't seem to realize how bad that is! It's no wonder you never were able to be a gym leader!" Avery flinched. Hard. His face falling into a shocked look of hurt. "You. Put. Him. Down. N O W!!!" You ended your yell with a little shove to Avery.
....The man instantly fell to the ground with a loud thud. Taking the opportunity, the man scrambled up and immediately fled as fast as he could. Dashing across the field and disappearing quickly into the treeline. You waited until he was safely away from Avery before releasing the blonde man and stepping back still scowling.
"Don't you EVER do that again!," you snarled at him pointing, "If I EVER see you doing that again to ANYONE not only will I tell Mustard but I'll tell Leon and the Chairwoman too!"
With that you turned around and stomped away from his hurt face with Silver running to catch up to you. Avery continued to stare helplessly at you before the pokeballs fell from his head pathetically falling to the ground before the first few years filled his eyes.
You didn't see much of Avery after that day. You met up with Hop and Gloria who had managed to indeed find and capture some nectar from the applin after it fell out of a tree and onto Gloria's head. Turns out the nectar wasn't what they were looking for either so it would take Hop and Gloria some research and brainstorming to figure it out. In the meantime as days passed, they buried themselves with FINALLY being able to finish Gloria's dex challenge and going around finding more and MORE run away digletts and trading them back to the guy. Gloria was also able to trade a bunch of other people for other different regional pokemon. Some of which she gave Hop who blushed a bit. Ah. Looks like the crush was still strong with him. Which reminded you-
"Hey. What pokemon did Gloria give you?," you asked him one day while Gloria was busy training. "I know she gave Marnie a purloin and Bede and Victor a pokemon too. So what did she give you?"
Hop blushed deeply and rubbed his neck as he did before chuckling. "well....I guess you'll know anyways once she finally confesses her love to me."
"Say what?"
"She gave me an applin before she left!," he smiked widely. "I knew she liked me better that that cotton for brains Bede! I haven't brought it up yet cuz I wanted her to focus on her training! HA! Take that Befe! In your face!!"
You facepalmed hard. First she gifts Bede a lovdisc without knowing the meaning of that and now she mistakenly gifted Hop an applin. Sigh. Gloria's love rivalry continued. At least you knew what happened to the applin Gloria left in her backpack for so long. Days also passed. Gloria still trained hard and you and Hop Always helped her with her turn in chores. Kubfu and her was getting bolder and bolder and she even got to battle Ms. Honey whom gifted her a special pair of league cards as a thank you for helping to spruce up the place. She also gave Hyde a lot of watts too to power up his strange machine and had gotten a polygon pokemon from his as a thanks. Gloria also seemed to have gotten along better with Klara even having a rematch battle with her. Klara lost but she seemed to be taking it a lot better than she did previously. However...Avery was barely present at all. In fact it was like he was mostly invisible. When he was doing training or some of his punishment chores, he would either turn away from you or do everything he could to avoid eye contact, and would pretend you didn't exist when he was assigned to do chores alongside Gloria. Silent and keeping to himself which was... actually odd. Maybe you scared him a lot more than you meant too. You had found out that Avery did end up rebattling Gloria again too after her training but that was the extent of it. Until one day you spotted something strange. You exited the kitchen after getting Silver a snack and found Gloria and Hop posing with Klara for a picture before she signed something for Gloria and haded her another league card.
Confused you walked up to them as Klara left. "Hey guys. What's up?"
"Y/n!" Hop smiled brightly at you. "We finally found out what that certain something Mustard was talking about is!"
"That's great but what was Klara talking about?"
"Oh! We finally figured out who they are! Turns out Klara n' Avery are gym leaders from the minor division!"
You stared stunned. "Really?"
Hop nodded. "Yeah! Klara just started out a year or two ago but she wasn't exactly ready for the position yet, so she came here to train. Looks like she'll be ready though in no time!"
"What were they doing in Postwick then?"
"They were having a meeting with Lee to see if they could run the gyms again but he didn't think they were ready yet. So they came back here for more training." Smart choice on Leon's part. Hop sighed putting his hands behind his head. "I do feel kinda bad for Avery though."
You rose a brow. "For Avery? Why?"
"His family was really hard on him and they didn't treat him well from what I overheard Lee talking about." Both you and Gloria looked shocked.
"Ah. Ye poor lad."
Hop nodded with a sigh. "You see his entire family has always ran the psychic type gym but once he started making everyone who beat him levitate well ...From what I heard they almost disowned him after nearly getting kicked off the league circuit. Lee was the one who saved his position and Avery came here soon after. I think he's doing a lot better too...But it's weird. He's been really down lately. I wonder why?"
You knew exactly why. A very bad and guilty feeling settled deep in your guts as you realized that-....You had really messed up. You had messed up BIG TIME.
"So anyways we can find what we need by taking a flying taxi over to the honeycomb shaped island off the isle. Wanna come, Y/n?"
You numbly shook your head. "Nah...You guys go ahead...I need to think over something."
"Alright then. C'mon Glory! Let's go get that max honey!"
They both left leaving you shellshocked and numb for a while. Somehow you managed to stumble your way outside and sit on the steps of the dojo putting your head in your hands. Arceus you messed up badly. You didn't know Avery was-...That he-...That his family-..You buried your head in your hands groaned loudly again. What were going to do?!
"Y/n?" You jumped up and looked right at none other than Ms. Honey. She was giving you a concerned look. "Sweetie you look down. Did you get into a fight with someone?"
You stared wide eyed. "How did you know?"
"I have my ways." She slowly sat down next to you. "What happened?"
You groaned looking away. "I got in a fight with someone because he was doing something really bad but now I found out he came from a bad family life and now I feel bad but at the same time I don't think I was in the wrong because what he was doing was back. But now he's been down a lot and someone told me he has been working hard to get better so now I feel even more bad and he's avoiding me like the plague. So I have absolutely no idea what to do!!" You grabbed your head frustrated.
Honey blinked and didn't say anything for a real long time before looking down. "You know when my hubby told me he wanted to open a dojo of his own, I have to admit I had a lot of doubts. I was still working at my previous job at the time and there was simply so much work into getting the dojo built. Let alone the question of whether anyone would want to move to an uninhabited island like this just to train at an unknown dojo."
You stared at her blinking widely at her. "What.. happened?"
..She gave a soft huff shaking her head. "We got into a couple fights. I didn't want to put everything in this in case it failed I thought he was crazy to try and start this idea all those years ago going about this all the wrong way...and he was throwing everything at it instead of taking time out to plan it out. But..I eventually realized that fighting with someone who was trying hard in the wrong way wouldn't help them. You have to talk it out and help them." You stared at her wide eyed. "So we did and I finally agreed to give it a shot. My hubby and I put our all into this place and years later when Hyde came along all our previous students pitched in and helped us through it. We've made it to where we are today because we got help from so many people. This has been an entirely different chapter of my life, but it's turned out to be a great one." She looked at you with a smile. "So you see...Whether people need a little or a lot of help, they'll always be better afterwards. For some people it just takes a little bit longer and a bit more help."
You stared at her for a long, long moment before sighing and turning away. "Yeah. I guessed I messed up there."
"Well it's not too late," she assured you patting your back. "You can still apologize."
"I don't even know if he'll forgive me."
"Oh I bet he will. If I know Avery, he'll shake it off and bounce back quickly."
You whipped to her wide eyed. "How did you know it was Avery?!"
She smiled. "I have my ways." She stood up again. "Just think it over. Ok, Sweetie? I'm sure you both would feel better if you talked it out. If you want to find Avery just talk to my hubby. He always knows where he's gone training."
With that Ms. Honey left you sitting there staring.. before you sighed again.

Isle Connections Ch4 Familiar Faces
(Warning: Y/n has a fight with Avery. Mentioning of toxic relationships/families. This chapter will probably cover a period expanding over a few weeks to a few months. Will slightly reference the Twilight Wings series.)
You were confused about both of those guys to say the least...but you weren't sure about anything right now. And Gloria was right. So far the most either of them had done was be rude and try to cheat, even though Kara's way could've gotten someone hurt. Plus they did apologize and they were being punished instead of Mustard brushing them off which was good..
But you'd still be keeping a VERY close eye on both of them!
Bit enough of that. You were excited to see what surprise Mustard was going to gift Gloria. So after some rest and a quick lunch, you and Gloria both gathered back in the main training room to meet Mustard and see what he had to say.
"Ah. There you are, Gloria," he greeted you both with a smile, "Keeping this old man waiting huh? Since you completed all three trials, I give you the secret of the master dojo." You were expecting him to pull out a new uniform or maybe actual armor but instead he held up a...pokeball? "Now then. Come on out."
The pokeball was given a light toss. Light sparkled out and revealed to you both a... Little bear cub wearing a white sash tied around its head? The strange pokemon got you both to look wide eyed in surprise. It was SO CUTE!! The absolutely adorable little pokemon struck a pose immediately like a martial artist kicking and throwing a few punches before it paused finally seeming to notice you two and Silver staring at it. It froze before gaining a frightened look, and turned to flee and dove behind Mr. Mustard's legs. After a few seconds peeking out from behind him.
"AW! The wee thing's so cute!," Gloria gushed making Mustard chuckle.
"This pokemon is in fact the secret armor of the master dojo," he explained, "Say hello to kubfu. I know. I know. It's tiny. But raise it with diligence and it'll become strong enough to see you through any battle like a suit of armor. No opponent will ever get past it. This one in particular has amazing potential. Problem is it's a bit shy. It doesn't seem to have much confidence in itself. So I was thinking maybe if it joined you I'm your training here, that'll help break it out of it's shell a little bit. So take good care of kubfu, Kay? It's now in your hands." He held the pokeballs out to her...and she slowly accepted it in awe.
Wait...The kubfu has a similar problem to Gloria. Did that mean that Mustard planned this out in the beginning? This could actually work out really well for Gloria!
"I won't let ye down, Sir!," Gloria gave a determined face clutching the ball to herself. "I promise ta train extra hard and help em out!"
Mustard smiled wider. "I'm glad to hear that because the special training I'm going to give you will be hard, but if you're willing to work then I'm sure you'll surpass it soon! Now then the first thing for you to do is to become best friends with Kubfu." Said Pokemon perked out a little more from behind his leg. "You need to build trust. Kubfu really hasn't had the chance to explore the world outside the dojo so maybe it'll help you become better friends if you let it have a look around. Once you're best buddies, we'll start harder training in earnest! Just stop by and let me know once you think you're ready for that."
Gloria nodded at him before looking down at the kubfu and kneeling slowly. "Hi, lik guy. Oh you're so cute. Do ya wanna have a snack with me?" The pokemon looked back to Mustard who just nodded before it slowly shuffled out and nodded up at her. "Kay then! Let's go n' get us some grub!"
"Gloria." She looked at Mustard. "You're real training will begin next Monday. If you're really are serious about this training then you shall need to listen to what I say."
She nodded standing back up. "Ya got it! I'm as ready as I'll ever be!"
He smiled wider. "Good. For now focus on bonding with Kubfu over the weekend."
"Oh! M' not done with my dex challenge yet!," she excitedly looked back to you. "We can all go exploring together an' finish it! And we can also go explorin' for those guys missing digletts!!"
You nodded. "Yeah. I bet exploring places together would be a great idea for you guys to bond."
And so it began. Gloria started training hard with the kubfu and you tagged along on her adventures of finding random digletts and taking pictures left and right. The shy pokemon was still shy hiding from everyone but it seemed to warm up to Silver a bit the longer they were out together and Gloria's contagious adventurous spirit seemed to rub off on it a little bit. Then Monday came and her real training started. She was woken up bright and early with everyone else and made to train alongside all the others including Avery and Klara. Sit ups,push ups, running laps, but most of all battles. Hard battles that Mustard initiated between her and the older more experienced students in front of a crowd always. Forcing her to get out of her comfort zone and work hard to defeat them while everyone watched. It was pretty hard work like he promised it would be but Gloria as you learnt was VERY determined and stubborn so she would push through it in time. You were just stuck watching from the sidelines cheering her on as she did so. You also saw Avery and Klara take part in their punishments. Sometimes you'd see them doing exercises until they were sweating like crazy as Ms. Honey or Mustard watched to make sure they did it. Sometimes you passed a room in the girls' wing and heard Klara whine and grumble as she scrubbed a toilet. Other times you saw them taking care of the dojo's pokemon. One particular day you heard music coming from the kitchen. Wait. Not music singing.
"Hush Little poke don't say a word ~ Avery's gonna pick you a oran berry.~"
It sounded like a pokemon twist on the classic hush little baby song. And it was coming from the kitchen area. Curious you poked your head in and paused at what you saw. Avery was knelt petting the slowpokes and hummed to their happy faces. You continued to stare at them for a moment before Silver just walked up to you and chirped . Causing you to jump and Avery immediately turn around and you broth froze as you made eye contact. For a long moment none of you said anything before you sputtered.
"Uh...S-Sorry," you held up your hands, "I was just getting a snack for my drizzle! I didn't know you were using the kitchen."
"I-... I-It's perfectly alright," he squeaked out looking embarrassed.
"Yeah..Um. Gloria's waiting for me to help her find digletts. Ok. Bye!"
You quickly fled the awkward scene snatching Silver up in your arms with a loud squeak. Avery still paused watching you retreat before shoving his face in his hat and screaming in embarrassment. It seemed Avery started to avoid you more after that awkward encounter which you also didn't mind. To get over the embarrassment you just focused on helping out Gloria with her side quests outside of her training to put it in the back of your mind. However you both were again be surprised a week later. You'd both just gotten back from your little expedition to find more digletts and their trainer was so happy he kept gifting Gloria Alola Region pokemon. He must've really valued his digletts. When you both walked up to the dojo with your pokemon, you ran into none other than Klara who was sweeping the steps by herself with Ms. Honey watching.
"G' afternoon, Klara!," Gloria greeted waving a hand to her catching her attention. "Tis a nice day huh?"
Klara sighed. "I guess so. If you don't mind working."
"Yikes! Ya still working on that punishment?"
"Master has the last day of our hard work literally marked on his calendar. Until then I'm gonna have to work hard ...But if it means I'll be a gym leader then I'll happily train hard and accept defeat!" Your brows rose. Well..That was certainly a positive response considering how she was before. "Again sorry for everything. Hey. Do you think we can battle again sometime? Fairly this time! I've been training hard and I bet I can beat you this time!"
Gloria lit up! "Yeah! I'd love too! We can totally battle again!"
Klara smiled. "Hehe. I'll be looking forward to it-"
"Look out, Ladies!"
You three jumped back as two of the male students attending the dojo struggling to carry ..A giant vending machine? Behind them two delivery men wheeled past another vending machine and behind them was two more delivery men carrying a rotomi machine. You all watched as the eight men walked by with Ms. Honey guiding them.
"What the world is that about?," you asked.
"Oh. A couple corviknight came by with a big delivery and a new visitor just a few minutes ago," Klara said. "Apparently Ms. Honey is updating the dojo."
"OH! That's what Ms. Honey meant by a delivery with the watts." You both looked at her. "Y'know? That power supply that comes from the wishing stones n' dynamax dens. Ya can use 'em as currency n' Galar. Ms. Honey said she needed a lot so I gave 'er all the watts I had. I was nay usin' them anyways."
"How many did you give her?"
"Um...I think three million three hundred eighty thousand." You both gawked at her. The broom slipping from Kara's hands and onto the steps. "....What? I told ye I never used 'em."
"Uh...Right. Anyways..You said there was a visitor here?" You looked back to Klara.
Klara shook her head. "Yeah. A short kid like you." She pointed at Gloria. "Only he had this hair color that reminded me of poison types. It was all purple-"
"That sounds like Hop!" Gloria's suddenly yell had you both wincing as she beamed brightly before turning to the dojo. "HOP, HOP, HOP, HOP!!" Throwing up her arms she dashed for the dojo.
"Wow...She sure has spirit."
"Tell me about it. Try stopping her from jumping into danger all the time." You took a moment to look Klara up and down... before sighing making a choice. "Hey, Klara." She looked at you. "I just...Wanted to apologize for how I acted towards you." She blinked surprised. "I was pretty mean to you too and I wanted to apologize for everything I did. Do you think we could forget everything that happened and start over?"
Klara still stared before smiling. "TOTES!! I was a jerk too so I totally deserved it but like now I can start over with everything! I'm still gonna beat your friend though!"
You smiled. "Thanks. I look forward to IT-"
You were interrupted when Gloria just grabbed you by the arm and yanked you by the arm behind her. "C'MON Y/N!! DON'T KEEP US WAITIN'!"
You were yanked along by Gloria across the way and right up to the door that she threw open hard enough to make it slam loudly against the wall catching everyone off guard and to look over as you both came in but stopped just a few feet in the middle of the room. Mustard was there as well and didn't even flinch as Gloria came crashing in only smiling at you both. However you both interrupted him talking to someone. That someone had purple hair and turned to look at you both with bright golden eyes blinking. There was a moment of silence as the two stared before a smile graced his features.
"Oh. Hey!" Hop smiled brightly at Gloria. "Welcome back, Glory."
"HOP!!" Before anyone could stop her, Gloria rushed him. Practically tackling him in a hug that had him teetering back waving his arms before the two friends fell backwards onto the ground. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!"
"It's nice to see you too, Gloria." Hop managed to say from his now sitting position smiling brightly despite having been half tackled to the floor hugging one of his best friends back. "I missed you too!"
"Let him get some breathing space, Gloria."
Hop snapped up hearing a familiar voice. "Y/N!" Smiling he pulled both of them up standing and broke the hug to smile widely at you. "Boy! It sure has been a while! Things haven't been the same without you guys and Victor back at Postwick." He then smiled at Gloria again. "But it looks like you've been working hard keeping up your training here at the dojo eh?"
"What are you doing here?!," Gloria piped up completely happy. "I thought ya was studyin' under Sonia!"
"Surprise!" Hop held up his hands with a bright smile. "That's just the reaction I was hoping for! I'm here at the Isle of Armor to research more of that dynamax phenomenon and gather a few max mushrooms samples for Sonia."
"Why isn't Sonia doing that?"
"She's doing some really important research in the Crown Tundra for the Chairwoman, so she asked me to take care of things here! And I'm glad I did. OH!" He turned back to Gloria. "I almost forgot! You're never gonna believe this! Victor got picked up as a gym leader in training too!"
You both gasped. "No! Really?!"
He nodded. "Nessa hand picked him herself right after we saved Galar again!"
"You did what again?!"
"Oh right! You both dunno. I'll be happy to tell ya everything but first I gotta get settled in."
"Yes." All of you turned back to Mustard now who smiled ever patiently. "I heard that you two were friends. How delightful! Hop here was just asking permission to camp out on the Isle. But where's the fun in mucking about in the mud? I was telling him he should just stay here at the dojo."
"I mean it'd be loads easier than camping out for a long while, but are you sure I wouldn't get in the way?"
"Everyone's welcome to stay here at the dojo. Don't be shy, My Boy. Besides we're practically family already. You're the little brother of our Leon after all! Hmm...We still have some max mushrooms stored away that Gloria got us a while ago. I'll dig those out so you can bring this Sonia person some samples. In the meantime feel free to make yourself at home! I'll have Honey set up a room for you and get you a room key later."
"Yeah. It's true. Lee did train here when we were both kids. Alright. You twisted my arm. Hope you don't regret it because I'm staying."
Mustard laughed. "The more the merrier. I'm as pleased as a gold plated punch bowl!"
Hop bowed. "Thanks so much, Mr. Mustard!" Hop blinked looking upside down at Silver and Gloria's kubfu. "No way!" He snapped back around startling the tiny bear pokemon. "Is that a kubfu?!"
Said kubfu dove behind Gloria's legs before peeking out. "Yeah! Yeah! I've been trainin' with him forever!"
"That's so cool! They evolve into ursifu but they can only evolve a certain way...but I forgot what that is."
"Ah! That reminds me." Mustard again spoke up. "I've got something I've been meaning to tell you about Kubfu, Gloria. Or it's evolution ursifu. The truth is the lovable rascal is capable of gigantamaxing too."
Gloria looked shocked. "Wait really?!"
"Yes but it's a bit tricky since it can't stand the taste of max mushrooms so max soup is off the menu unless you can find a way to make it more appealing. There's a certain something you can find here on the isle though that'll make even ursifu gobble up the soup. And that certain something is.." he paused for a long time giving you all a serious look..... Looking at them so long Gloria and Hop exchanged glances. .....Mustard suddenly smiled goofily again. "Actually. I forgot what it was. Oopsie daisies."
"Are you kidding me?!" "No!" Both looked defeated.
"Hahaha! You're more fun to tease than your brother ever was!" Mustard chuckled making Hop give him a deadpanned look. "But the certain something I'm thinking of is sure to make the soup more palatable to kubfu once Gloria manages to evolve him and it has something to do with another pokemon." Another pokemon? That was a big clue right there! "Now I think I'll leave you two to figure out just what it is! Give it a good think! You're on your own kiddos! he world is your cloyster so get cracking!" He turned to leave but paused and turned back to Gloria. "But don't think you can slack off on your training just because your friend is here. I still expect you to join me for training."
Gloria nodded. "Of course, Sir!"
Mustard smiled again before he walked off making Hop shake his head. "Uh...Is this how you're training usually goes?"
"Pretty much."
"Yikes." Hop shook his head again before smiling. "I've got no rapidash in this race, but even I'm curious about this certain something. I think I once read something about ursifu in a book too.." he hummed thinking hard and crossing his arms. "It's the wushu pokemon right? The book said it lives in the mountains of a far off region."
"Does it really?"
"Huh? You didn't know? Don't you have one?"
"Tis still just a kubfu."
"Oh..right. But I read somewhere ursifu is mad for some kind of sticky honey!" A 'AHA' look of realization came over his face. "Gloria! Honey is made from the nectar of flowers and plants right?! And Mustard said the special thing comes from another pokemon! So maybe we need some nectar made by pokemon that look like flowers and plants!"
Gloria lit up. "Hop, you're a genius!!"
"And if we're looking for those kinds of pokemon I'd reckon they'd be in the forest! I'll be able to look into dynamaxing along the way so count me in on exploring! There's a forest beyond that big marshland right?" Gloria nodded and he lit up. "Bet I can beat you there!"
"You're on!"
"OH NO YOU DON'T!" You held out your arms making them both stop. "It's too late in the day to go out again and we just got back, Gloria! And Hop hasn't even gotten his room yet either!" You rose a brow crossing your arms. "Besides, you also have training tomorrow with Mustard. Remember?"
Gloria groaned. "That's right. I totally forgot."
"It's ok!," Hop assured her with a smile. "We can go the day after tomorrow and look around! And then I can tell you guys everything that happened to me and Vic!"
Gloria again lit up like a firework. "An' I can tell you everything that happened here! And ya can help me find all these digletts and finish up me dex challenge!"
"I'd love to!! This is gonna be awesome! Just like old times!"
Indeed it was. Just like old times. The day after the next you had to stop the two from just taking off without you and grab them back to stick together. Hop and Gloria didn't right away go to try and find this mysterious nectar. Instead they spent most of that day looking for digletts and catching up. Gloria told Hop all about her trials and new rivals here and in turn Hop filled you both on everything that happened back home. Apparently two troublesome twin who you met before had discovered the ancient grave of one of the heroes because they just so happened to be descendants of said heroes and had a book from him passed down. And then they went around Galar releasing wild dynamax pokemon on a rampage in the gyms AFTER stealing the ancient shield from Zacian and Zanazenta. Then Hop and Victor with help from Sonia and Piers had to go around and fight all these pokemon and chase them down only to finally corner them in Hammerlocke where they forced poor Zamazenta to power up painfully. So they had to battle and calm them down. Luckily they were able to get the ancient shield back and have the two troublesome twins arrested and returned the ancient weapons to the pokemon.
..... Y'know. Typical every day hero stuff in the world of pokemon.
You were shellshocked for a while by this but considering every you've been through up til now, quickly had just accepted it. Oh. Also apparently Hop decided to be a scientist like Sonia(which you already knew would happen-) and was studying under her. Good for him! Also apparently Nessa had taken an interest in Victor after seeing his actions during the gym challenge and helping to save her gym. She had offered to train him as the new water type gym leader which he happily accepted and you thought that actually suited him nicely. However Victor had his own problems battling. Being too serious and not having too much confidence in his battling skills unlike Gloria who was VERY confident about battling and only suffered from stage fright. Which she was really getting better at! Mustard's training was really working! Leon also sent him to get training with someone in the Crown Tundra. According to what Hop told you, Victor actually seemed to be getting much better too. He was actually letting loose a little and having fun battling and building up confidence. Good. You were glad Victor was getting better too.
But back to the present day...
When not training the three of you explored the Forest of Focus. Hop suggested you find a liligant first to try it's nectar. And you all found one...Sorta. You all managed to find a lost petilil. The poor thing had apparently been separated from it's mother and had clung to Hop's leg until you all managed to find her. Gloria laughed the entire time and you had to admit it was funny and pretty cute. The grateful liligant was more than happy to allow Hop to take some nectar from the giant flower on her forehead. Unfortunately it wasn't the nectar you were looking for so Hop suggested you all find an applin instead since apparently they also were a pokemon that created nectar and were actually pretty common pokemon on the isle of armor. You all managed to find an applin but it rolled away quicker than you expected it to and all three of you lost sight of it before you knew it. Stopping at a fork in the clearing of trees.
"Crud!," Hop stomped down a foot looking left and right down the paths. "Which way did it go?!"
"I don't know. Ugh. What do we do now?"
"The fastest way to find it would be to split up and cover more ground."
"What?!" You snapped to Hop. "Absolutely not! What if you two get lost?!"
"I'll stick with Gloria and we'll go together!," Hop easily assured you. "We have our phones so we can call for help or use a map to get back! And Glory has her cinderance! We can have them shoot fire in the air like a flare if nothing else works!"
"Yeah!" Gloria piped up. "C'mon Y/n. Relax and help."
Well...Mustard did say Gloria needed to do more things herself. You groaned but nodded. "Alright. You guys go that way and I'll go right. But keep your phones handy and call me if you find it or need help. And try not to get lost."
"Don't worry, Y/n! Besides getting lost is Lee's thing not mine."
"Well don't pull a Leon." Both laughed but agreed before turning and excitedly making their way down the left path leaving you with Silver. With a sigh you turned to start walking down the right way. "C'mon Silver. Let's go find that applin and get back with the others. Keep your eyes open for an applin.
With a chirp Silver loyally followed you down the right forest pathway. The warm sun beat down on you and the sun shown brightly above the sky. A lot of wild pokemon could be seen running around the forest between the flora and fawna. Playing, sleeping, eating, and just living out here in general. It was beautiful. You wished you had more of this peaceful life growing up. Such bliss. However you didn't see a single applin anywhere. Darn it! But you kept looking and looking and looking. Farther and farther you went. Looking everywhere and pushing apart tall grass and bushes to peer behind them. No such luck. Only finding every pokemon besides applins. Ugh! Where could it have gone?! You were just about to turn around and call it quits since clearly the applin didn't come down this way or if it did it was already long gone when-
B O O M-!!
What sounded like a giant crash sound sent pokemon running away from you and Silver diving behind you once again as you turned up to the sky. You knew what that noise was by now. Someone was having a pokemon battle out here. But...who? You were practically in the middle of nowhere! Maybe someone was catching some wild pokemon? For whatever reason your curiosity got the better of you and you started to head towards where the sounds came from. Bushes and grass pushed out of your way as the sounds of a man's desperate pleas cutting through the air making you feel a wave of panic and run faster. Someone was in trouble! They needed help!
"Where do you think you're going?!," a familiar man's voice asked. "You WILL battle me again!"
"Aaah! P-Please put me down!", another man's voice yelled out.
You ran and ran until you eventually rounded around a giant tree and froze at what you saw. A beautiful clearing stood before you beautifully covered in wild flowers however that wasn't what caught your attention. It was the two men in the middle of the field. Standing there clear as day was Avery with his back to you and one hand held up. Above him in the air was another man who bore a panicked look surrounded by the same blue aura that was levitating Avery's pokeballs. He frantically ran through the air kicking his legs and arms about to no avail not able to escape Avery as he levitated him in the air.
"Please put me down!," the floating man pleaded again almost on the verge of crying. "I-I don't want to battle anymore!"
"Not until you battle me again! I barely have any worthy opponents on this isle so you'll do!," Avery refused bringing him closer.
You stared in disbelief before you scowled hard at the sight. "YOU PUT HIM DOWN NOW!!!" Avery jumped as whirled around wide eyed. Freezing as soon as he saw your form stomping up to him only to stop right in front of him and pointing at his face. "What the heck do you think you're doing?! Put that guy down!"
Avery still seemed in a state of shock before shaking his head and frowning. "Now you see here! This man is my opponent and I will have another battle!"
"Are you confused?! Or insane?!," you shouted back to him pointing at the still panicking man. "That's holding someone hostage!"
"I don't expect you to understand of course. No one would understand my problems with-"
He didn't get get to say anything else when two hands grabbed his shirt front and YANKED his tall form downwards to stare deeply at your snarling face as your hands balled into tight fists holding his still. "Alright. Listen up you wannabe psychic psycho! Since apparently you can't read minds I'll spell it out for you instead! What you're doing is basic kidnapping and holding someone hostage! You don't seem to realize how bad that is! It's no wonder you never were able to be a gym leader!" Avery flinched. Hard. His face falling into a shocked look of hurt. "You. Put. Him. Down. N O W!!!" You ended your yell with a little shove to Avery.
....The man instantly fell to the ground with a loud thud. Taking the opportunity, the man scrambled up and immediately fled as fast as he could. Dashing across the field and disappearing quickly into the treeline. You waited until he was safely away from Avery before releasing the blonde man and stepping back still scowling.
"Don't you EVER do that again!," you snarled at him pointing, "If I EVER see you doing that again to ANYONE not only will I tell Mustard but I'll tell Leon and the Chairwoman too!"
With that you turned around and stomped away from his hurt face with Silver running to catch up to you. Avery continued to stare helplessly at you before the pokeballs fell from his head pathetically falling to the ground before the first few years filled his eyes.
You didn't see much of Avery after that day. You met up with Hop and Gloria who had managed to indeed find and capture some nectar from the applin after it fell out of a tree and onto Gloria's head. Turns out the nectar wasn't what they were looking for either so it would take Hop and Gloria some research and brainstorming to figure it out. In the meantime as days passed, they buried themselves with FINALLY being able to finish Gloria's dex challenge and going around finding more and MORE run away digletts and trading them back to the guy. Gloria was also able to trade a bunch of other people for other different regional pokemon. Some of which she gave Hop who blushed a bit. Ah. Looks like the crush was still strong with him. Which reminded you-
"Hey. What pokemon did Gloria give you?," you asked him one day while Gloria was busy training. "I know she gave Marnie a purloin and Bede and Victor a pokemon too. So what did she give you?"
Hop blushed deeply and rubbed his neck as he did before chuckling. "well....I guess you'll know anyways once she finally confesses her love to me."
"Say what?"
"She gave me an applin before she left!," he smiked widely. "I knew she liked me better that that cotton for brains Bede! I haven't brought it up yet cuz I wanted her to focus on her training! HA! Take that Befe! In your face!!"
You facepalmed hard. First she gifts Bede a lovdisc without knowing the meaning of that and now she mistakenly gifted Hop an applin. Sigh. Gloria's love rivalry continued. At least you knew what happened to the applin Gloria left in her backpack for so long. Days also passed. Gloria still trained hard and you and Hop Always helped her with her turn in chores. Kubfu and her was getting bolder and bolder and she even got to battle Ms. Honey whom gifted her a special pair of league cards as a thank you for helping to spruce up the place. She also gave Hyde a lot of watts too to power up his strange machine and had gotten a polygon pokemon from his as a thanks. Gloria also seemed to have gotten along better with Klara even having a rematch battle with her. Klara lost but she seemed to be taking it a lot better than she did previously. However...Avery was barely present at all. In fact it was like he was mostly invisible. When he was doing training or some of his punishment chores, he would either turn away from you or do everything he could to avoid eye contact, and would pretend you didn't exist when he was assigned to do chores alongside Gloria. Silent and keeping to himself which was... actually odd. Maybe you scared him a lot more than you meant too. You had found out that Avery did end up rebattling Gloria again too after her training but that was the extent of it. Until one day you spotted something strange. You exited the kitchen after getting Silver a snack and found Gloria and Hop posing with Klara for a picture before she signed something for Gloria and haded her another league card.
Confused you walked up to them as Klara left. "Hey guys. What's up?"
"Y/n!" Hop smiled brightly at you. "We finally found out what that certain something Mustard was talking about is!"
"That's great but what was Klara talking about?"
"Oh! We finally figured out who they are! Turns out Klara n' Avery are gym leaders from the minor division!"
You stared stunned. "Really?"
Hop nodded. "Yeah! Klara just started out a year or two ago but she wasn't exactly ready for the position yet, so she came here to train. Looks like she'll be ready though in no time!"
"What were they doing in Postwick then?"
"They were having a meeting with Lee to see if they could run the gyms again but he didn't think they were ready yet. So they came back here for more training." Smart choice on Leon's part. Hop sighed putting his hands behind his head. "I do feel kinda bad for Avery though."
You rose a brow. "For Avery? Why?"
"His family was really hard on him and they didn't treat him well from what I overheard Lee talking about." Both you and Gloria looked shocked.
"Ah. Ye poor lad."
Hop nodded with a sigh. "You see his entire family has always ran the psychic type gym but once he started making everyone who beat him levitate well ...From what I heard they almost disowned him after nearly getting kicked off the league circuit. Lee was the one who saved his position and Avery came here soon after. I think he's doing a lot better too...But it's weird. He's been really down lately. I wonder why?"
You knew exactly why. A very bad and guilty feeling settled deep in your guts as you realized that-....You had really messed up. You had messed up BIG TIME.
"So anyways we can find what we need by taking a flying taxi over to the honeycomb shaped island off the isle. Wanna come, Y/n?"
You numbly shook your head. "Nah...You guys go ahead...I need to think over something."
"Alright then. C'mon Glory! Let's go get that max honey!"
They both left leaving you shellshocked and numb for a while. Somehow you managed to stumble your way outside and sit on the steps of the dojo putting your head in your hands. Arceus you messed up badly. You didn't know Avery was-...That he-...That his family-..You buried your head in your hands groaned loudly again. What were going to do?!
"Y/n?" You jumped up and looked right at none other than Ms. Honey. She was giving you a concerned look. "Sweetie you look down. Did you get into a fight with someone?"
You stared wide eyed. "How did you know?"
"I have my ways." She slowly sat down next to you. "What happened?"
You groaned looking away. "I got in a fight with someone because he was doing something really bad but now I found out he came from a bad family life and now I feel bad but at the same time I don't think I was in the wrong because what he was doing was back. But now he's been down a lot and someone told me he has been working hard to get better so now I feel even more bad and he's avoiding me like the plague. So I have absolutely no idea what to do!!" You grabbed your head frustrated.
Honey blinked and didn't say anything for a real long time before looking down. "You know when my hubby told me he wanted to open a dojo of his own, I have to admit I had a lot of doubts. I was still working at my previous job at the time and there was simply so much work into getting the dojo built. Let alone the question of whether anyone would want to move to an uninhabited island like this just to train at an unknown dojo."
You stared at her blinking widely at her. "What.. happened?"
..She gave a soft huff shaking her head. "We got into a couple fights. I didn't want to put everything in this in case it failed I thought he was crazy to try and start this idea all those years ago going about this all the wrong way...and he was throwing everything at it instead of taking time out to plan it out. But..I eventually realized that fighting with someone who was trying hard in the wrong way wouldn't help them. You have to talk it out and help them." You stared at her wide eyed. "So we did and I finally agreed to give it a shot. My hubby and I put our all into this place and years later when Hyde came along all our previous students pitched in and helped us through it. We've made it to where we are today because we got help from so many people. This has been an entirely different chapter of my life, but it's turned out to be a great one." She looked at you with a smile. "So you see...Whether people need a little or a lot of help, they'll always be better afterwards. For some people it just takes a little bit longer and a bit more help."
You stared at her for a long, long moment before sighing and turning away. "Yeah. I guessed I messed up there."
"Well it's not too late," she assured you patting your back. "You can still apologize."
"I don't even know if he'll forgive me."
"Oh I bet he will. If I know Avery, he'll shake it off and bounce back quickly."
You whipped to her wide eyed. "How did you know it was Avery?!"
She smiled. "I have my ways." She stood up again. "Just think it over. Ok, Sweetie? I'm sure you both would feel better if you talked it out. If you want to find Avery just talk to my hubby. He always knows where he's gone training."
With that Ms. Honey left you sitting there staring.. before you sighed again.

Luckily, he's got Kai - and Cortana - there to help him. Note: This is more suggestive than graphic. I initially rated this T (PG13) but opted to go to M (R) just to be safe. 😉
Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 x Reader
“No Time” Rated T (PG13) one-shot, female or gender neutral Reader, 1,429 words Summary: You knew eventually the study would end and John would be suppressed again before being sent back out on the front line. He wouldn’t think of you fondly. He probably wouldn’t think of you at all. So the best you could do was make the most of this chance, enjoy this moment in time together, so that when it was over, when the last grain of sand drained from the hourglass, when the clock hands struck midnight, when the countdown reached zero, you would remember it with enough fondness for the both of you.
“15 Minutes” Rated T (PG13) 10/15 chapters, WIP, originally a one-shot, now a multi-chaptered fic progressing the relationship with the female reader character and John, 24,863 words Series: How to date a Spartan (without even trying) Summary: In ch1, finding a Spartan slumping against a wall was concerning. Realizing it was Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 was another thing entirely. In ch2, you have a not-so-typical day at work. In ch3, you make a new friend and John almost makes you late for work. It’s worth it, though. In ch4, John would rather you not punch a Warthog. Again. Also, he requests the pleasure of your company for lunch. In ch5, you forgot your jacket but, luckily, there’s a very nice Spartan fellow available to keep you warm... 😉 In ch6, while Silver Team is on extended deployment, you focus on your work. But, never fear, all good things come to those who wait. In ch7, Dr. Keyes would like to have a word with you... In ch8, things get a little more intense. In ch9, you��re in peril but don’t be afraid, help is near. In ch10, as you heal, you’re not alone. In ch11, John would like to show you something.
Kai-125 x M!Reader
“Recreation” Rated T (PG13) 2 chapters, open-ended, 4,947 words Series: How to date a Spartan (without even trying) Summary: Yeah, you were a big, heavy guy when compared to 95% of the human populace. Standing next to Spartan Kai-125, all it meant was that your greater mass would make it easier for her to throw you from the bottom of FLEETCOM to the top spire if she was so inclined. Note: This is a male Reader fic and shares a ‘verse with the John/F!Reader fic “15 Minutes.” 😉 Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4
Misc
“Trust” Rated T (PG13), one-shot, 1,425 words Summary: What if the artifact had reacted to Kai instead of John and she had been paired with Cortana, instead? Not a full season rewrite, just a little exercise in what if? 😉
#halo#halo the series#halo paramount+#master chief#john-117#master chief x cortana#master chief x kai-125#master chief x reader#kai-125 x reader#i know i don't have a lot of halo fics but i thought it would be nice to have them organized in one place anyway#;)#masterlist#ageless aislynn

"No!" Dustin throws his hands up in the air and tosses his head back. He rolls a 4 causing his bard not to be able to trick the ogre looming over the party. Mike mutters a small shit under his breath and Gareth shakes his head.
Eddie sucks in his teeth, "Ooh, looks like you might anger this ogre. Shall you roll again? Maybe try playin' him a song, hmm? Bard?" He props his elbows on the table with his fingertips touching just in front of his face, eyes narrowed with a devilish grin.
The players of Hellfire are unbelievably predictable- Dustin always plays the overly charismatic bard.
"Don't do it, man. Lemme try to cast a spell. I can put him in a trance and we can hurry past 'em." Jeff stands up pointing to his chest. Jeff is the wizard who casts spells at every single inconvenience. No matter how small.
"I dunno. I mean, I still have some health. I could roll again and try to actually charm the ogre with a song?" Dustin ponders out loud.
"I have arrows. I'll shoot him!" Gareth shouts. Gareth is typically the stoic fighter with a manly weapon of some sort.
"No! Let Jeff cast the spell!" You throw your hand out toward Jeff to your right. "It's the best option we have. Arrows aren't gonna do shit here!"
Others nod in agreement. You are the group's shapeshifting cleric. Though, shapeshifting doesn't seem to be the best move to get away from this ogre now that he's angry. He's got the party trapped in a cave, ready to kill and eat anything in his path while guarding the only exit to their escape.
"But I can try t-" Dustin is cutoff by Jeff rolling his own die across the table.
Everyone silences to watch it bounce once on the tabletop before falling to the floor. Mike, the druid, dives after it, trying to see the score, falling from his chair to the floor with a thump in the process. Jeff leans fully over the table to look as well, but slides the board with his hands making everyone's figure tumble over, which in turn shifts the board into Eddie's binders and notes, causing them to sway and fall from their stance.
"Aw, come on guys!" Gareth shouts. In all the chaos, the binders also cause his soda to spill down his shirt and into his lap when he leaps up.
"'Kay, let's just take a break?" Eddie lets out a harsh huff, clearly frustrated, picking up the notes that he worked so hard on for so long that scatter to the floor.
You let out a breathy sigh before standing. You stretch your limbs a bit, pulling and leaning to release the tension that has built in your muscles over the past few hours.
Then, an idea pops in your head so you walk over to your bag, and dig around a moment before pulling out your bikini top. "What if we take a swim break?"
The guys spin their heads in your direction. "Right now? It's like, two in the morning!" Dustin shoots a disbelieving look.
"Well, it is spring break. No rules, remember?!" You twirl your top in the air around your finger with an arched brow.
"But what about the game?" Gareth asks while patting his shirt with bunched-up paper towels.
"We can't stop now!" Jeff says, placing his die back on the table next to his fallen wizard. He's probably the most honest player here. He twirls his die until he finds the number it landed on, setting it on the table.
"We're so close! If we can figure out how to defeat the ogre, then we-" Lucas, the barbarian always trying to take charge, starts.
Lucas is another member of The Hellfire Club who joined the campaign only a couple of hours ago. He's on the basketball team, so he had practice right after school today. Which makes no sense to you, but then again, you never really cared for sports to begin with, let alone keep up with their practice schedules.
"Fellas, the lady has spoken." The Dungeon Master smirks at you. Your face grows warm with a flush and you are begging that no one notices. "Let's swim!"
"It's already so late. I'll be dead if my parents wake up," Mike slumps down in his chair, thinking of the dire consequences he'll no doubt face if we do wake them.
"No rules, Wheeler, remember?" Eddie mimics you and ruffles the boy's hair. The rest of the group mumbles, begrudgingly setting their figures and books back onto the table and digging out their swimsuits from their things.
"It'll be fun. I promise," you pat Gareth on the back, who is still trying to dab the soda from his clothes. He responds with a faint yeah, yeah that makes you roll your eyes.
You know they'll enjoy a short break from the campaign. It's Spring Break for crying out loud. Who doesn't want to swim during Spring Break? Besides, there's no way any of you could stay away too long. You've all been too eager to play this round the way Eddie has hyped it.
Ever the gentleman, Eddie slightly bows and waves his hand, motioning for you to change in the basement bathroom first -since ya know- ladies first and all. You hold your towel in front of you as you step out the door to put your clothes on top of your belongings. Assuming the guys are going to all change at the same time, you hurry up the steps and sneak out the backdoor quietly. You round the corner of the house to the pool when you're met with a surprising scene- you guys won't be alone tonight.
Nancy, Robin, and Steve are already lounging in their swimsuits around the pool. Robin and Nancy are relaxing on the reclined seats with Steve on the edge of the water, his feet dangling in the deep end. Steve is nursing what looks like his second beer bottle of the night animatedly talking to the girls. Robin has a sly smirk, snickering to herself while Steve, who you assume, is talking about his latest adventures of getting dates and girls. You know that at least half of what he's saying is made up- he's only trying to make Nancy jealous. The three of them weren't super close to you, but you've been around them enough times -because of Mike being Nancy's brother- to know better. You'd have to be blind to not pick up on how thick Steve is laying it. It's almost pathetic but very endearing to see him try to win her back. Though it isn't working.
Nancy notices your arrival and stands to greet you.
"Figured you'd be asleep."
"Figured you'd still be fighting wizards or monsters or whatever."
You let a smile ghost your lips. "Had to take a break. It got... chaotic in there for a sec."
"Isn't it always?" Nancy returns the smile.
"Yeah, true. Especially with that bunch." The both of you let out a light giggle as you jab your thumb behind you. You follow Nancy back to the pool chairs and hang your towel on the back of the one Robin is resting on.
"Hey," Robin and Steve say simultaneously. Steve tips his bottle towards you and then back to his lips.
"How long you been out here?" you ask.
"A couple of hours. Maybe more. It's hard to tell with this one talkin' the whole time. He makes time go slower, somehow. Like a time bandit or somethin'." Robin raises an eyebrow and points accusingly at Steve.
"Hey, I can't help it if I'm the only one sayin' anythin'!"
"You don't give anyone else a chance to say anything! Dingus," Robin mumbles the last part but you know Steve still heard because he rolls his eyes and tosses his hand out.
You let out a light laugh with Nancy again when you hear the back door open and immediately feel eyes on you. The slight flush from earlier creeps back across your cheeks. You turn slightly to see the guys in a flock making their way to the pool. However, you see Eddie in the back of the group staring in your direction. Or staring directly at you? It's hard to tell in the darkness of the night. Though you could still make out his beautiful brown eyes in a rainstorm at midnight. Stop that.
But why is he staring at you? Watching you just stand here talking with Nancy and her friends?
Oh, Nancy is in a bikini. The most amount of skin the Hellfire boys have probably seen in the real world, outside their nudie mags.
You don't blame him, though. Nancy looks great in her bikini and Robin in a one-piece with green shorts over it. The two of them are almost matching, both wearing suits covered in abstract pastel florals. You had opted for the tried and true suit you've had a few years now- plain navy blue. It wasn't anything fancy, but it did give you a surge of confidence every time you wore it.
You swallow harshly, forcing your attention back to the group in front of you. You almost feel silly for assuming that Eddie would be checking you out when the other two girls are right here. You notice that Nancy narrows her eyes slightly at you. Oh god, can she tell what I was thinking? Her eyes flicker between you and the guys scattering their towels around. She lets a small smile pull at her lips before engaging you again.
She asks about your spring break and eventual graduation plans, leaving that small moment behind. She had already known your spring break plans, thanks to Mike, but she was always good at making everyone feel included in any conversation. Maybe the two of you could actually be friends. You shrug at the mention of graduation. She's on the path to college, having already sent out so many applications to all the top schools in the country. Who knows what you'll do or where you'll go? It hurts thinking that you could potentially leave your friends and Hellfire behind. Again, you never really pictured a future without your best friend. But also never imagined one with him like that.
You're so engrossed in the conversation by now, that you don't notice the slapping of feet against concrete getting increasingly louder until it's too late. Arms wrap around you forcefully, eliciting a panicked yelp from you. Someone is picking you from the side awkwardly and throwing both your bodies into the pool with a splash. You resurface, wiping your hands over your face and eyes, coughing slightly. Once you get centered again and breathing normal, you see that classic shit-eating grin you've known for years.
"What the fuck, Munson?!" You shout, remembering you need to be quiet so as not to wake Wheeler's parents. "Seriously, what the hell?" you whisper-scream. Your eyes flicker up to the second story, checking that no lights click on.
Eddie just laughs at your demise, sticking his tongue out between his teeth. You try to tread water but it's awkward and you suddenly feel incredibly self-conscious. That's when you realize his hands are still secured on your waist, holding you in place in the water, your faces mere inches from each other. Eddie's hair is slick to his face and neck, curling on the ends. His chocolate eyes searching your face, taking in all your features. You are very aware of your own hair stuck to your face, too, so you try to run your hand over your face and through your hair, wiping away any excess water again. Though it's not really helping your case, there is nothing attractive about slicked-back pool hair.
Eddie gets this glint in his eyes you've never seen before.
Well, that's not true. You have seen that look before.
He had that same look when he first spoke to you all those years ago in 8th grade. That same look when you played a couple of campaigns. That same look when you said you would join The Hellfire Club. And when you said goth-y looking rock stars were definitely your type, before he ever revealed to you that he was in a band- Corroded Coffin. And when he shared a joint with you for the first time. When he shared a joint with you every time. When you managed to defeat one of his campaigns. When you stood up for yourself earlier today, well yesterday technically, at school. When you laugh at his jokes, no matter how stupid. When you seem to be the only one that cares about him. When you smile as he calls you one of his pet names. When he-
You feel that same flush creeping over your cheeks again thinking you see that glint every damn day. You knew that look all too well. When had you come so accustomed to it that you stopped noticing it? Had you stopped noticing it? Or did you relish in the fact that only you seemed to get that look from Eddie? Stop that.
You swear that he was watching your lips. His eyes flicker up to meet yours again as he bites his bottom lip and opens his mouth to say something, but he's interrupted before he can speak.
"No rules!" Dustin shouts with his arms straight up, fists in the air, barreling towards the spot of the pool you're wading in.
"Wait--!" is all you manage to get out before you're back under the water again.
You pop back up in time to hear Mike hiss Dustin with his brows furrowed, trying to shush his friend. Nancy and Robin are giggling as Hellfire member after member also cannonballs into the pool, splashing you each time. Steve slips off the edge to join in as well, everyone laughing.
Once the water's calm, if you can consider it calm at this point, you notice that you are actually able to tread water this time. You scan the pool for Eddie, but he's on the opposite side, dunking Lucas under shouting something unintelligible. You sigh to yourself, swimming to the ladder. You sit where Steve had occupied beside the girls earlier to watch everyone. You prop your elbows on your knees and your head in your hands.
You don't even have a single second to think before Nancy asks, "Soo.... what the hell what that?" She slips her feet in the water, Robin joining on the other side of you.
"Yeah, seriously, I thought he was about to eat you the way he was starin'." Robin nudges your arm.
You sit up straighter, letting out a small huff. "Uh, what? Nothing! He ju-just threw me in the pool, 's all."
"Okay, sure. That was nothing, all right." Nancy teases. "He hasn't been watching you the whole time you've been out here, either."
"Oh, yeah, well what about you and Steve? You can't tell me there's nothin' there, either." You shoot her an incredulous look.
You want to turn back, to see if Eddie really is watching you. Before, you thought he was admiring Nancy in her suit, but now after that moment in the pool.... you're not so sure. There's that flush again. They're gonna think I have a rash.
Nancy scoffs, "Oh, there's definitely nothing there." Her soft smile says differently.
"I mean, you only talk about Steve every freakin' moment we're not around him," Robin says.
"Shut up!" Nancy playfully smacks Robin's thigh. "I'm just... weighing my options, 's all."
"Sure," you say sarcastically.
"Weighing between Steve or No Steve?" Robin arches her brow. The three of you share a knowing look before bursting into a fit of giggles again. Oh yeah, you guys are certainly going to be friends.
You're thankful that, although they were teasing you, they weren't teasing in a hurtful way. They weren't saying anything bad about you. Bad about Hellfire. Bad about Eddie The Freak. You don't feel like they see you as an outcast like the rest of the school does. Or, freak-adjacent. It's honestly a huge relief. Yep. You're friends now whether they want you or not.
You turn your attention back towards the boys, your eyes meeting Eddie's immediately. He quickly glances down, just barely licking his bottom lip again. He shakes his head lightly and tosses the foam football that landed beside him. Mike must've tossed it in earlier in all the chaos.
You're starting to think that maybe, just maybe, there is something to what Nancy said.

«Rita of Gokkan» Ch.4-6
eng translation by me
ch: [1] [2-3] [7-9] [10] [11]
timeline: flashback of ep1 (bugnarok attack)
new info:
1. Gira and Racles's confrontation is recorded on video (i.e. evidence of Racles admitting intention to invade other kingdoms)
2. Rita is barred from entry by the castle's biometric security system (i.e. Gira passed it indicating his relation to the Shugoddom royal household)
t/n: the de-transfomation jingle/slogan in ch6 is 王武解放 (ou bu kai hou). lit. king's armour release. and yes, i'm too lazy to think of a cooler jingle m(_ _;)m
In the show, Himeno questioned Racles's whereabouts and prompted Gira to go find him in the castle. In the manga, Gira raised the question and inspired Rita.
And, Rita swears, I guess 😆

The Queen of Fire Meets the King of Hellfire: CH 6 - Hey, Freak!
ST4 but with Jamie (Nine/009). I used the comic book (Into the Fire) as a rough starting point. Jamie possesses Pyrokinesis (the ability to create/control fire). Starts off when Eddie’s already fled to Reefer Rick’s.
Snippet:
He smacks the radio “Anybody?!” Eddie’s panting heavily, clearly frightened.
“Eddie, try and stay calm. Maybe they'll just leave” says Jamie.
“No, Jamie, you don’t understand, those guys are looking for me and they are going to kill me.”
Jamie cautiously lifts her head and looks out the window again... Okay, now she's panicking a little.
Ch1: Damned Spiders - Link
Ch2: The Tattoo - Link
Ch3: So, There's This Girl... - Link
Ch4: Mad Max - Link
Ch5: Are You a Nerd? - Link
Chapter 6 – Hey, Freak!
Jamie is lying down in the boat. Her left leg is lying flat, her right leg bent with her foot on the floor of the boat. Her back is leaning against the seat of it. Her head is tilting sideways to the right, leaning against the inside of the boat, sleeping.
Eddie's sitting on one of the stools, looking out the window. He’s been turning back, eyeballing a six pack the gang brought him for a while now. He could really use a beer... hell he deserves one.
He stands up and walks towards the beer. The floor creaks. He pauses and looks at Jamie, it didn’t wake her. He leans down and pulls out a can. He looks at Jamie before turning and walking back to the stool. He sits down and turns his back around to look at Jamie as he slowly opens the can with a loud snap of hissing carbonation. He grits his teeth at the noise. However, Jamie still doesn’t wake up. Success.
Eddie turns back around and looks out the window. He sighs and takes a sip of beer. A moment passes, he takes another sip.
“What are you doing?” asks Jamie right next to his side. Eddie sputters out his beer with a jump. He falls off the stool and onto the ground, landing on his side.
Jamie’s hand quickly slaps over her mouth in shock, then tries not to laugh.
“God dammit!” says Eddie.
“Are you okay?” asks Jamie, still trying to stifle her laughter.
“What the hell is wrong with you?! I thought you were sleeping” Eddie says, standing up.
“I was, but then I saw an opportunity to terrorize you.”
“Don’t you think my poor crippled heart has been through enough?”
“I’m sorry. As... hilarious as that was, I’m sorry” says Jamie.
Eddie rolls his eyes and picks up the stool “Feet of a goddamn field mouse” he slams the stool in the upright position and sits on it.
“Sorry I made you spill... your beer” says Jamie.
“It’s fine, only spilled a little” says Eddie.
Jamie walks over to the six pack, now five pack, and picks up a can. She examines it “You know I’ve never had one?”
Eddie looks over to her.
“I’ve never had any alcohol. Like, ever.”
Eddie stands up and walks over to her. He slowly takes the beer out of her hand “Probably for the best... don’t think a drunk superhero would be very effective” says Eddie.
Jamie picks up the box of Honeycombs from the ground. She opens it and shoves her hand in. She takes a handful into her mouth “Since when are you the goody two shoes in this relationship?” she asks, mouth full of honeycombs.
Eddie gives her the side eye.
“Plus, the amount of drugs and tranquilizers I’ve been on, I doubt a little beer would do anything to me” she looks at the beer can in his hand.
“Well let’s not find out today, kay sweetheart? Maybe once we defeat Vecna and if I don’t go to prison, then, we’ll get you a proper first drink.”
“Fine” says Jamie, taking another handful into her mouth.
...
“Eddie?” asks Jamie.
“Mm?”
“What if I don’t want to fight this Vecna person? I mean, this whole superhero thing, I think you guys are exaggerating, maybe just a little.”
“I don’t think anyone’s gonna force you, but... you’d kind of be saving our asses. Dustin seemed excited about it. He must think you can do something” says Eddie.
“And the girl? Max?... she... kind of hates me.”
“Oh, come on now, hates a strong word. I think she was just, being protective, of her friends” says Eddie.
“Protective... from me. So... she thinks I’m dangerous. I mean I am, I- I can be, but I always try to avoid using my... abilities. Especially,” she looks to Eddie then looks down “...I’ve done things I’m... not proud of.”
...
“Well... I forgive you, if that means anything” says Eddie.
Jamie looks at him softly “I appreciate the sentiment anyways" she sets the cereal box on the floor.
...
“Dustin asked me if I still had my powers. Does that mean, Eleven’s are gone?” asks Jamie.
“I don’t know... I guess so?” says Eddie.
“That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Why not?”
“Cause we... were born with them... I don’t get how they can just, go away. Trust me, I would have done that already, if it was possible.”
...
Suddenly, they hear a vehicle approaching. Eddie quickly crouches down, Jamie mimics him. They slowly come up to look out the window and see a truck. Jason’s truck. Eddie quickly crouches down, pulling Jamie down next to him.
“Is it them?” asks Jamie.
“No. Shit. Shit, we are so screwed” says Eddie.
“Why? Who is it?” asks Jamie.
Eddie runs over and looks out the other window of the boathouse.
“Eddie?” asks Jamie.
Eddie runs and grabs the walkie “Dustin, you there? It’s Eddie, you remember me, right? Hey, if anyone’s there, I really think we might be in a bit of trouble here, okay? Wheeler?”
He smacks the radio “Anybody?!” Eddie’s panting heavily, clearly frightened.
“Eddie, try and stay calm. Maybe they'll just leave” says Jamie.
“No, Jamie, you don’t understand, those guys are looking for me and they are going to kill me.”
Jamie cautiously lifts her head and looks out the window again... Okay, now she's panicking a little.
...
The sun has set, it’s now dark outside. Jamie’s sitting against a wall near Eddie, staying out of sight of the windows. As Eddie’s looking out, keeping an eye on the house, he suddenly sees Jason in the upstairs bedroom window, looking directly at the boathouse.
He quickly crouches down and tries again on the walkie “Dustin? Please. Are... are you there?”
Eddie stares at the boat, coming up with an idea “Never mind” he sets down the walkie. He looks to Jamie “Come on” he says, ripping the tarp off the boat.
“What are we doing?” asks Jamie.
“Getting the hell out of here” says Eddie. Jamie stands up and runs over to the boat, helping Eddie “Just so you know, I can’t swim” says Jamie.
Eddie grabs a paddle and hands one to Jamie “Then I suggest staying in the boat” he starts moving the boat out of the dock, he grabs the other paddle “Get in.”
...
Eddie and Jamie are now on the lake in the boat. Eddie is in the front, paddling on the left side. Jamie is in the back, paddling on the right.
“Hey, freak!” yells Jason.
Eddie and Jamie both turn around, panicked. It’s Jason and his friend, Patrick.
“Where do you think you’re going?!” yells Jason.
“Shit” says Eddie “Switch me!” he says to Jamie. She quickly gets up and they trade spots.
“Hey, who’s in there with him?” asks Patrick.
“I have no idea” Jason squints his eyes “Probably another member of his sick cult” Jason begins taking off his jacket.
...
Eddie tries to start the engine of boat, pulling on the string “Come on! Just, come on...”
“You scared of some water? Let’s go!” Jason says to Patrick as he’s taking off his shoes. Patrick starts taking off his jacket.
“You piece of shit!” says Eddie, the engine is still not starting “Come on. Gotta help me out here, man” he says patting the engine. He pulls the string again “Come on!”
Jason climbs into the water.
Eddie pulls again “Come on, you piece of shit!” he pulls it again, and again “Goddamn it!” he smacks the engine in frustration.
Jason is now completely in the water, swimming towards them.
“Eddie!” yells Jamie. Eddie whips his head around “Switch with me” she says.
“It’s busted!” says Eddie.
“No, I know... I’m... I'm not gonna let them hurt you... switch me” says Jamie.
No time to argue, or even think, Eddie switches spots with her. Jason is swimming towards them, and now so is Patrick.
“What are you gonna do?” asks Eddie.
Jamie isn't sure how to answer, she doesn't even know what she might do. As they get close, Eddie grabs an oar. He stands up, holding it as a weapon.
“Hey, stay back man!” says Eddie.
Jamie still sitting, grabs the edge of the boat and scoots closer to the edge.
“Stay back!” yells Eddie.
Jamie takes a deep breath; she slowly lifts her left hand up.
Suddenly, Patrick stops swimming. Jason turns around to Patrick “Hey, come on, we almost have them!” says Jason.
Patrick looks around in fear, ignoring Jason.
“Hey, Patrick” says Jason “Patrick!”
“What are you doing?” Eddie asks Jamie.
She looks at Eddie “Nothing I-... I’m not doing anything.”
“Patrick!” yells Jason.
All of a sudden, Patrick gets pulled completely under water making all three of them jump.
...
It’s quiet, Patrick’s just... gone. They all look at the spot he was in, confused as to what happened.
“Patrick” says Jason “Hey, Patrick... Patrick!”
There’s an aggressive splash as Patrick shoots up out of the water, about ten feet into the air. This makes Eddie stumble backwards and fall out of the boat.
“Eddie!” yells Jamie, looking into the water where he fell. She looks back, seeing Patrick floating in the air. Patrick’s left leg breaks, snapping loudly.
Eddie resurfaces in the water, gasping for air. All three now watching Patrick. His right leg snaps. His right arm snaps. Jamie whimpers and covers her ears, trying to muffle the horrific sound of his bones cracking. His left arm snaps. His jaw snaps. Finally, his head snaps backward, and his body suddenly drops, then smacks into the water.
They’re all frozen. Eddie still trying to stay afloat, swims and grabs the side of the boat.
“Eddie” says Jamie, taking her hands off her ears. She shakily reaches her hand out to help pull him up into the boat “Are you okay?” asks Jamie. Eddie nods his head, breathing hard. Jason is shaking with fear. He turns around, looking at them. Jason opens his mouth as if he were going to say something, then doesn’t. Eddie falls into the boat with a grunt.
Jason stares at them for a few moments, before turning back and slowly swimming towards Patrick. He struggles to grab onto him, petrified at the condition of his now dead friend’s broken and lifeless body. He gives Eddie and Jaime one last look, then begins swimming, pulling Patrick’s body to shore.

NatsuYuu chapter->episode masterlist with brief summaries (last updated: July 2023)
Prior to writing The Cat and His Boy (shameless self-promo, ye) I rewatched the anime and caught up on the manga, then put together a chapter->episode list to figure out the timeline. It was for my own writing purposes, but it’s just occurred to me that I really ought to share it :D
Under the cut, you can find a list of all manga chapters (e.g. “ch11″) and manga specials (e.g. “sp8″) in the manga’s chronological order, with the corresponding anime episode numbers noted, along with brief summaries. Anime-original stuff (some OVAs, the first movie, etc.) is also included where I think they roughly go, timeline-wise.
Chapters that have not been adapted into anime yet are marked “!!NOT ADAPTED!!” so you can easily find what you’ve missed if you’re only up to date with the anime but want to read ahead.
Hope y’all will find it useful! 😊
PS: shoutout to @dogcircle-scans for all their work!♥ (They’ve been doing the scanlations since ch77.) All chapters should be up on MangaDex.
