Moonlit Nights Ch. 10 - Stepping Into a New Life
He was ready, so damn ready you wouldn’t even know just how ready he was, I’m serious. He was ready to go up into that ring, send out Deagle, and whomp all of Hala’s Pokemon. Kahuna, sure, obviously a skilled trainer, sure, but Jacky was on a hot streak and he was so… ready. Hoo boy, was it getting hot in here, or was it just our slightly nerve-wracked protagonist imagining things? No, no, no, what did he have to worry about for the grand trial? This was the first grand trial, after only one regular trial, right? They wouldn’t hit new trial-goers with challenges that they weren’t prepared for, right? Of course, they wouldn’t! After all, how else would anyone possibly be able to complete the island challenge if they did go at them too hard, that just wouldn’t make sense! He just needed to think of it as a gym battle, that’s it! It was basically the same, fighting a specialist in one type and gaining an item of interest that marked his progress! “Um, are you okay, Jacky?” The boy

Moonlit Nights Ch. 9 - My Reason
“Hey, buddy, took you long enough to get here!” Hau ran down the path to meet Jacky halfway, the two boys greeting each other with a smile. Robin was fluttering close behind the tan young man, already irked to see Cinnamon following Jacky’s heels closely. Seems a night, or in Jacky’s case, day of sleep didn’t quite mend the bird’s pride. “Yeah, sorry, I was just taking my time. Besides, I figured since you fought your grandpa that I wasn’t going to keep anyone waiting so--!” “What are you talking about?” Jacky paused and stared at Hau, who seemed completely serious, his smile vacant from his face. He wasn’t upset or angry, but he wasn’t quite happy with the assumption, as if Jacky just said something really odd. “Well, didn’t you take your grand trial after I went home? You had plenty of time, after all.” “No. I wanted to put it off for a little bit until you were ready to go again.” As if the statement had served him a reminder, his lips turned up into that passionate smile

Jacky had to shove Hau back to get out of the dirt, as the enthusiastic young man had completely collapsed over him when they collided. “For Zekrom’s sake, Hau, you think you’re going fast enough?” He patted his clothes down to shake the dirt off while his klutzy friend got up and neglected his own. “What’s the rush that you had to go at mach speed?”
“Yeah, sorry about that, bud. I just finished my trial and wanted to let you guys know. Thankfully I passed by Professor Kukui on the way and he told me you’d be here.” He laughed off Jacky’s grumbles, scratching his head half-nerv

Battered crazy, Ilima’s Yungoos struggled to stay conscious, standing shakily for a few seconds before collapsing and losing to Deagle. “Excellent, making quick work of my Yungoos. However, let’s see how you handle my Smeargle!” Illima excitedly sent out a Smeargle with a flourish, ready for the second half of the battle.
“A Smeargle, huh? Pretty good Pokemon, Ilima, but we’ll see how good it really is.” Deagle stepped back for a moment as Wattson was sent in to contribute, being bombarded with two Water Guns before he can shoot out a Magnet Bomb, shooting a projectile to draw Smeargle in before expl

Music Inspired Short Tales - Yuki-Onna
Based off the song Falling Snow by Brandon Fiechter
Small puffs of white flutter from the misty grey skies as an everlasting chill rests in the open winter air. Children play along the streets, throwing snowballs, crafting snowmen, and simply running around, basking in the cold beauty. Couples gaze upon the colorless wonder from the warmth of their other, exchanging words of fondness and affection. Parents watch their children play as they prepare hot meals to warm them from their icy pastimes.
From my hilltop I look upon them with a wistful smile upon my face as pellets of frost continue to blanket the ground beneath my feet, observing th
