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
A History Lesson part 1 To the locals, the island was called Ayiti. To the Spanish, it was called Hispaniola. To the French, it was Saint Domingue.

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
She passed through the busy New Orleans street, unseen and untouched and to say that she did this in a literal fashion would be accurate. Both invisible and intangible, she phased through walls, vehicles, and the crowd with no one the wiser. Barriers didn’t matter to her as she floated immaterially into and through them. If any pedestrians had noticed her, they would have seen … Continue reading AP Productions: Femme Phantom Halloween Special

Chapter 13: 5 Years Ago “Hey! Buddy! Are you supposed to be in charge of this craphole? I was at the Rooftop Cafe, and the vending machine ate my money.

The Neon Supremacy part 3 Frenk opened a doorway that hovered over the street, displaying a large, orbital structure. “This is our lab,” he explained to Astra and Shujai, “I thought you might be interested to see what we’ve been working on.” Astra noticed the glowing cylindrical object floating in the middle of the room, roughly the size of a small car. It was black … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #16
Chapter 12 Sam had nothing. He had no words or thoughts or actions. His brain was preoccupied with processing what the President of the Phoenix Shipping Corporation had just said. Just when it seemed like he was on the verge of accepting it, something inside him replied “No. No, that can’t be right” and forced him to reconsider it. Barry having had the lake guardians … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 12

The Kantoans discovered the process by which they could transform pokemon into high-frequency, unstable energy that could be contained … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 11
The Neon Supremacy Part 1 Sky Darkly stood on a cliff overlooking a purple horizon and a strange sea. His long red coat danced in the breeze, and while he had no hair, the spikey tendrils lined along his head swayed all the same. “I’m a lucky man,” he explained to the holographic figure behind him, “This is my woman, Lady Diamond. She’s a living … Continue reading AP Productions: Astra Machina #14
Chapter 10 Sam had just finished putting away the dishes, and he looked around the kitchen. Spotless again. Ever since Tommy’s stroke, he had gotten pretty good at keeping the house in order. It wasn’t so hard, he thought, it was merely just about keeping your promises to yourself that you would do it. If Sam made sure to vacuum and dust and wash the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 10
Head Games part 5 (finale) Ryan Bennings lay prone on the floor of his lab, a mysterious, empty syringe next to him. In the Ice Box, Miles Cady searched his mind, but only found darkness.

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
