Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Sam, for as displeased as he was to have been back on the sea once again, was at least happy he’d made it through the ferry ride to Canalave without Barry’s Monferno tossing anybody overboard. The ferry had a prominently posted notice asking riders to keep their pokemon contained (“for their own safety and the safety of the rest of our guests”, the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 17

Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase One

I’m back on my franchise ranking horse! I do love taking a look back at an entire movie franchise I have watched every entry of and deciding how it goes from best to worst. It’s a great conversational piece, too, for the comments section. How would YOU rank them, et cetera, et cetera. One of the franchises I’ve had a strong desire to do for … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: MCU Phase One

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Sam was determined to make the trip back to Canalave City as miserable as he could for Carlos. It was not even a small percentage of payback for what Carlos had cost him, but it was the only way Sam could stop himself from putting his own fist through the windshield in frustration. “First of all, I have no idea why you went … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 16

Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

It’s rare, but every so often, I get a bug in me to watch the entirety of a franchise I’d never seen before. Last year, it was Mission: Impossible. This year I decided to watch the entire Final Destination series. I blame Amazon Prime, through which we have our HBO Max subscription. I was fishing around for something to watch, and Prime kept throwing FD … Continue reading Ranking The Franchise: Final Destination

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Of course it had to be Sideburns. His name was apparently, as it turned out, not actually “Sideburns”; it was Carlos. And he had been sitting next to Sam for several hours as they navigated the mountainous route 210. The route was unpleasant enough by itself–much of the road crawled around the exterior of Mount Coronet and was protected with guardrails that looked … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 15

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Sam rubbed the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb. Apparently, it was nearly impossible to call the offices of a worldwide corporation and just speak directly to the President. Receptionists were hesitant to put a call through to his phone, if they even had that ability at all. It was fast becoming Sam’s experience that they would be more than … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 14
