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.

Amidst all the other lights that glowed flawlessly, this one … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 5

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

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

The crowd assembled around the battle let out a cheer; the courageous … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 2
The Shadow Way Part 1 Centuries ago, the dry ground housed lush vegetation that attracted wildlife but due to climate change and other environmental factors, it no longer did.
