Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Present Day Chispa whimpered unhappily. Sam thought that letting her out of her Friend Ball so that she could stretch her eager little legs would make her happy, but it quickly became obvious that all she wanted was to run about the deck of the cargo ship. Sam considered that this was not a great idea given that he had no way of … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 9

Head Games part 4 Ryan held Labrat’s hand as he lay in the hospital bed. With Labrat’s unique genetic makeup, his bones and tissue were humanoid enough to require normal doctors. The wounds were consistent with blunt trauma – severe bruising, one broken ulna, one laceration across the face, and one cracked rib. Ryan told the doctors an enemy had attacked but opted not to … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #19

Head Games part 3 “You seem to be putting some… lighter memories at the forefront of your mind, Bennings. Even while you’re unconscious.” “A little mental trick Rex taught me years ago. That’s what you get for bouncing around in my head while I sleep.” Ryan was younger and on stage with Adam Sandler in front of a Saturday Night Live audience. Sandler was wearing … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #18

Chapter 8: Six Years Ago… “Most kids can’t wait to get as far away from home as possible for college, and you want to stay here? You’re crazy, Sammy.” Sam and Tommy stood outside Ilex Hall, the largest educational building on the University of Goldenrod City’s campus, hosting most of the math and business courses that the school offered. Seeing as how Tommy had attended … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 8

Head Games part 2 The Ice Box was a cylindrical structure residing within a mountain in the Himalayans; most of the building was buried inside the mountain itself while an entrance, tower, defensive weapons, and a landing pad protruded from the peak. It was officially named the International Metahuman Correctional Facility but its snowy surroundings and the fact that it was a prison resulted in … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #17

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Present Day Sam had thought Barry was moving fast when they were just on their way to the lake yesterday, but he realized he hadn’t seen fast until the young man, abandoning camp and all of their belongings, raced along the edge of the lake in an attempt to get to the northern side.

AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #16

Head Games part 1 “Wanna know the really weird thing?,” Ryan Bennings started to vape, as was typical during difficult conversations, “The copyright for the Brain Boy cartoon is reverting back to me now that Levison passed away. It was a clause in our contract years ago. Levison had the rights to it initially, but if he relinquished those rights or… y’know,… they’d go back … Continue reading AP Productions: Formerly Known as Brain Boy #16

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Present Day The newly caught Shinx bounced happily at its trainer’s left side. Occasionally Bree would float down to it and let out a sharp chirp, and the Shinx would reply by rearing up on its stubby hindlegs and swatting up at the Butterfree. Bree was too quick, however, and would always flap herself just out of reach. The Shinx would let out … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 6

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Present Day Sam felt less secure in Rowan’s laboratory than he previously had in the lobby. The lab had no windows, only lifeless fluorescent bulbs above him. One, which was not quite in the center of the ceiling but a few feet to the right, flickered continuously since Sam and the professor entered. Amidst all the other lights that glowed flawlessly, this one … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 5

The Shadow Way part 4 Creed rose to his feet and wiped the sweat from his brow. The bloody machete was tossed aside, then he looked down at his handiwork. “I gotta say, I’m a little impressed. You weren’t ly’n when you said you couldn’t feel pain,” Creed wiped some blood on his pants, “Not a peep from you. Respect. Even the toughest bastards out … Continue reading AP Productions: Winghaven #34

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 4

Chapter 4: 10 Years Ago The sidewalk to Sam’s house had never seemed so long before. Heck, the day itself had never seemed so long! Even on the days where he had back-to-back-to-back exams, none were as long as this day had been. It had been exactly four class periods, twenty-eight minutes into a fifth, and a bus ride home since he had gotten the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 4

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Present Day Sam sat in the lobby of Professor Rowan’s laboratory thumbing through the magazine selection on the small desk next to his seat. Newsweek, Linoone Fancy, National Geographic, World Pokemon League Illustrated, and Ponyta Dressage Today; nothing that really seemed to catch his eye. Sam thought this odd because he usually enjoyed Newsweek, at least, but his heart just didn’t seem to … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 3
