《Journey On Pokemon Island》Chapter 27: Beautifly
Advertisement
The powerful coercion forced many Pokemon to tremble in fear. They didn't even dare to look at the behemoth flying in the sky. Fortunately, Hydreigon didn't seem to pay much attention to them and flew directly into the distance. The malicious intent leaked by it unintentionally disappears after the Pokemon left the periphery. 'This Hydregion might be a champion-level Pokemon.' Edward guessed that it should be one of the parties that caused the huge commotion just now. There may be a more powerful existence in the valley than it! "Edward, what's wrong with Silcoon?" Rosa's voice snaps Edward out of his musings. Turning his attention to Silcoon, he saw a layer of white light attached to Silcoon's body. It looks like it had reached level 10 under pressure caused by Hydreigon. Edward was overjoyed. This means that Silcoon was about to evolve into Beautifly soon. He excitedly watched with his eyes wide open at Silcoon's rapidly changing figure because it was his first time seeing a Pokemon evolve in person. [Ding! Congratulation to the host for evolving his first Pokemon!] [The novice period is over. The new tasks list and reward points have been updated, and the system store is opening!] [Host can buy training manual, breeding manual, and others from the store using reward points!] [New Tasks List: Capture new Pokemon(10 points), train Pokemon(3 points), battle wild Pokemon(5 points), etc.] [Store List: Torchic training manual(5 points), Beautifly training manual(3 points), herbal medicine manual(15 points), etc.] Multiples notifications appeared in his mind, which surprised him. He didn't expect the system to have a store in its database. It seems that he can choose what kind of reward he will get in the future! ... [Ding! Silcoon evolved] [Rewarding: 5 points] Regarding the point store, Edward didn't rush to check it but paid attention to the situation of Silcoon. The white light on Silcoon's body became so bright and dazzling that it was hard to gaze at it. The audience also felt very novel when they saw this scene. The evolutionary process of Pokemon has never been recorded on camera before. It will be the first time for the whole world to see a Pokemon evolve under their very own eyes. [What is going with Silcoon?] [Does Silcoon also have special skills? I think it is protecting itself because of that evil dragon just now.] [This light is so dazzling.] ... The process of Pokemon evolution is holy and sacred to the watching eyes. The whole process lasted for about ten seconds, and it began to float in the air. As the glowing light dissipated, the evolution of Silcoon was a complete success! "Wow! It's become so beautiful!" Rosa exclaimed when she saw the first sight of Beautifly. Beautifly is a butterfly-like Pokemon with two pairs of wings. It has large blue eyes and black antennae with rounded tips. Its face, underside, and four stubby limbs are gray, while the rest of its body is black. The main body of its wings are black with large yellow markings and smaller red and blue markings. This scene made the researchers dumbfounded, and they hurriedly recorded and reported it to their superior. This is a major discovery! The viewers were even more surprised. [What a big and beautiful butterfly!] [I'm an insect collector, and this butterfly is a wonderful piece of a specimen. Can you sell it to me?] [Are you crazy? This butterfly may look nice, but it is still a beast! I saw one survivor die under the poison powder released by a butterfly yesterday.] [You can't deny that it is a beautiful butterfly.] ... "Beau!" It flapped its wings and flew around Rosa while crying in happiness, celebrating its success at evolution. After all, Rosa kept it in her arms when it was still a Silcoon. "Edward, what do we call it?" Rosa asked while playing with the Pokemon full of joy. "Let's call it Beautifly." "This name suits it very well." She nodded slightly. ... "Let's go ahead and explore the valley where that strong beast came from. Maybe we can find something over there." Edward said with anticipation after examining Beautifly's state. He's curious about what caused the previous commotion. Besides, they might get some leftover benefits. ... [Beautifly] Level: 10 Gender: Female Type: Bug/Flying Ability: Swarm Moves: Tackle, String Shot, Poison Sting, Gust, Harden

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
8 182The Better Side Of Evil
The last surviving son of House Rotwald is on the run. Chased by his enemies into the heart of a long forgotten wasteland, he is forded to traverse an unholy place of power. With the pursuers hot on his heels, can Victorian find shelter in the realm of the living dead? Or will he become just another walking corpse, doomed to wonder the land for all eternity? Everything that he believed in, everything that he held sacred – gods, kings and their laws – has already betrayed him. With nothing left to lose could the young paladin be persuaded to accept a new master? Could he bargain away his life to a dark power in exchange for vengeance? And what would he be required to do in return? The Kingdom of Leidemar is on the verge of ruin. Rival powers seek to divide it, but there is an opportunity for a new ruler to arise from within its own nobility. And even a lowly nobleman, if positioned correctly, could end up a king. Someone with the right allies, perhaps? Or maybe cruel allies would suffice? But for now the last surviving son of House Rotwald is on the run. *This story is as much about the monsters as it is about the people facing them. Some become allies while others become wet stains on the floor. I firmly believe that villains can make for some of the most endearing characters. Monsters need not be sour and droll. Have a bit of fun - indulge in a bit of villainy. Enjoy the gray morality and colorful cast of this story! *I have a Discord server now: https://discord.gg/4phDRU2 **Artwork by Shane Pierre: https://007access.deviantart.com/ ***I am not a native English speaker, so feel free to help me improve my use of the language!
