《Pokémon Sun & Moon: Emethyst's Journey》Chapter 6
Advertisement
I'm running and playing with Haunter and Froslass in a bright, beautiful meadow. The sun is shining, the sky is a deep clear blue, and the grass is a beautiful emerald green. I wasn't sure if I was in Alola or Kanto, but it was beautiful. Haunter, Froslass, and I are having such a good time playing, just like old times.
"Emethyst." I hear a familiar, female voice say.
I stand alert, and look straight ahead. There was my mother, with a golden aura around her. Butterfrees and Beautiflies were flying around her. Her beautiful black hair swayed in the wind, her green eyes more vivid than ever as she stared at me lovingly. She was wearing a glittery white dress.
Tears welled in my eyes. "Mom?" I whispered, as a smile spread across my face.
Mom opened her arms wide. I dropped everything I was doing, and ran like I never ran before into her arms.
"I miss you so much!" I wailed, as tears fell down my face.
My mom wrapped her arms around me. "Shhh.. there there. It's going to be alright, you'll see." She said, as she rubbed my back and consoled me.
"Oh mom, why did you have to go?" I cried, tears falling down my face like a waterfall.
She sighed. "Everyone in the world has their time, baby. Where one thing falls, and another grows. Maybe not what was there before, but something new and wonderful all the same." She said, as she hugged me tight.
"But Mom, I feel so lost." I said, as I buried my face in her chest and cried.
"Emethyst, baby, you are only as lost as you choose to be when there's someone trying to find you." My mom said, her voice echoing.
I let go of her, and looked into her beautiful green eyes. "But, mom-" I said.

"To love, you have to let go." She said, as she looked at me. "If you really want to love, you have to let go." Her voice echoed.
I opened my eyes, and sat up to bleak darkness. I looked around, and saw Ash sound asleep in his bed, along with all of his Pokemon. I saw Rotom Dex asleep on the desk, and Haunter was still sound asleep next to me.
I laid back down on my now wet pillow, and tears continued to well in my eyes. It had all been a dream, a dream that felt so real. The hugs, the tears.. it felt like she was here.
I wiped my eyes, and reached over for my phone to check the time. It was nearly midnight.
I put my phone down, and turned back over to try and go back to sleep, when suddenly, a glowing light emerged from behind me.
"Huh?" I said, hushed but curious. I looked over, and saw the glowing light was coming from my luggage.
Quietly, I got out of bed to check and see what could be glowing in my bag. I lifted up the top, and leafed through my clothes trying to find the source of the light.
I finally grabbed a hold of what was glowing in my luggage, and I was in no way expecting to grab what I grabbed.
Clutched in my hand was my mom's Keystone that she wore as a necklace. It had an icy shein to it, and I was always intrigued by it and Mega Evolution itself. I would love to have a Gengarite and Keystone of my own when Haunter evolves if he ever does, but I would never force him to.
"Did I pack this?" I thought. If I did, I definitely don't remember it. My mom's Keystone was one of her precious treasures.

I clutched the Keystone in hand, and was dumbstruck on how it got into my luggage in the first place. Then, that's when it hit me. In my dream, I was playing with Froslass... my mom's most beloved Pokemon. Then I began to wonder..
I dug through my luggage once more, and under the heap of clothes, was another pokeball. A pokeball I don't remember packing or being there. I gulped.
I looked around, and to my satisfaction everyone was sound asleep. I could use some fresh air, so I got my only pair of black sandals out of my luggage and put them on.
Pokeball and Froslassite in hand; I climbed down the loft and looked around. I saw my dad's familiar figure sound asleep on the couch, his back towards the door. I took this as the perfect opportunity to sneak out onto the beach. I opened the door as quietly as possible, and stepped out onto the porch. I closed the door quietly, and headed down the steps to the beach.
The moon was shining bright on the ocean waves, as they crashed on the shore. I will admit, it was beautiful and peaceful.
I took a deep breath. "Come on out, Froslass."
My mother's icy beauty materialized in front of me. Her white kimono style dress and blue eyes contrasted beautifully with the moon's bright blue color. I was surprised that she came out, because since mom passed away, she refused to come out of her pokeball.
Froslass looked around, sort of confused. Then again I couldn't blame her; I don't think she was used to a beach either, like Haunter.
"Froslass," I said. "This is our new home. Melemele island in the Alola region." I said, trying to comfort her.
Froslass looked at me, and smiled with her eyes. I didn't quite know what that meant, but she seemed to be okay, which was relieving.
Froslass was my mom's most beloved Pokemon. She had raised her since she was a just a tiny Snorunt. I don't know the full story, but I know my mom and her were very close since she was a child. When mom passed away, she was so depressed she wouldn't even come out of her pokeball until now. I'm just happy that she seems to be okay.
"Froslass, are you okay?" I asked her. I wondered how she was, seeming how I hadn't seen her in a while.
Froslass looked at me, her eyes saddened. "Fros." She said.
I sighed sadly. "I know, I miss mom too." I said. I clutched the Keystone in hand. "But hey- look what mom gave me." I said, as I presented the stone to her.
Froslass's eyes widened, as she took the necklace into her own icy humanoid hand. She looked at it, as if she found something nostalgic.
Tears welled into Froslass's eyes, as she clutched the Keystone. When her tears fell, they formed to ice.
Realizing that I may have hurt her, I hugged her close. "I'm sorry, Froslass. I didn't mean to make you sad." I said, as I hugged her icy, floating body. Tears welled in my eyes too, for I realized that Froslass is the only thing I had left of my mom now.
Froslass wrapped her hands around me, hugging me close.
Suddenly, I felt a blast of sorts hit Froslass in the back, the force causing Froslass to fall on top of me.

HEfTY
What if everyone in the world gave you $1? That’s what Hefty, a fat and cocky 14-year-old computer hacker tries to do. He bets on Bitcoin, and becomes a millionaire. Nevertheless, it’s short lived because Hefty is under the beck and call of his BPD mom. Hefty’s mom has leukemia. After seeing his mom’s hospital bill, he goes full tilt on the internet, selling crazy things on the Dark Web, like drones, drugs, and guns. And under his nose, someone’s been watching Hefty. Before he knows it, he’s abducted by ISIS and transported to Syria. ISIS’s chief tech officer was blown apart in an airstrike. All of ISIS’s money freshly minted into Cryptocurrencies. The passcodes in his mind blew up with the airstrike. The King of ISIS, forces Hefty to find the passcodes. At gunpoint, Hefty can’t say no, but tricks the King. The King makes a deal with him: If Hefty gets the money off the server, he gets to keep his life (and 10%). Hefty agrees and sees the amount from his 10%: $1.1 Billion in BTC. Drunk with money, Hefty joins the King and naively agrees to help ISIS, and starts buying everything he’s always wanted. He still misses home though, and after a google search brings up his mom, he throws bread crumbs through the internet. He creates digital trails throughout the back end of sites he hacks so people can find him. Even though his lifestyle is fun and exciting, ISIS starts to look less inspiring. Hefty sees the cruelty of ISIS’s cause and it disillusions him from thinking the Caliphate is noble. After some ISIS friends start dying, Hefty sees that war is dumb. Hefty tells his dying friend, on his last breaths, that he is going to take down ISIS. Mistake. With his last yells, his friend tattles on Hefty. Overnight, he goes from Multimillionaire to POW. The King gives him 2 options: blow up his favorite team on a game day of the Cleveland Browns, or his mother dies. Hefty chooses his mother. Within weeks, Hefty covertly writes software to defeat ISIS, leaving enough breadcrumbs to attract the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, General Tarvish. Acting quickly, General Tarvish works to find Hefty and uncover the Brown’s Stadium plot. Hefty finds a way to bomb the stadium, using an order that the president enacted putting all combat planes: no matter where over the US, had to be fully loaded and ready for war. Tarvish didn’t plan this into his counter measure. Hefty has set up ambushes against the Caliphate of ISIS… but the joke turns on him when he forgets to delete his code, and his terror attack on Brown’s Stadium goes off. Hefty’s location goes live, and an air campaign against the Caliphate starts. The US President angrily tries to drop a nuclear bomb on Hefty and the Caliphate. Tarvish kills the President before he can order the attack. The King flees by truck into the desert, but brings his cyber weapon: Hefty. Fed up, unafraid, and frankly pissed off, Hefty grows some balls and kills everyone in the car, giving the King his just reward, and careening down a mountain in the process.

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.
