Chapter 26 Sam cursed in the deepest, throatiest voice he could push from himself. Not just at the wind that was ripping through his body and shearing his soul with its cold, and not just at the snow that was falling faster, harder, and more violently as it began sticking to his face and clothes rather than selflessly melting away. No, he was cursing the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 26
Chapter 25 The lobby chair had a comforting material that Sam couldn’t quite identify; it felt like a kind of faux-Linoone fur (at least, Sam hoped it was faux). It was so soft that, where it touched Sam’s skin, he couldn’t feel any particular strand of it—it just all blended into one wash of luxury against him. The chair coddled him and relaxed him and … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 25
Chapter 24 As Sam stood outside Rowan’s laboratory in Sandgem Town and stared through it, he couldn’t help but imagine it a cold, stone castle on a jagged mountainside. Despite the typically Sandgemian beautiful day of sunshine and blue skies, Sam could have sworn he saw a malevolent lightning bolt crack behind the lab and silhouette it in shadows. Tommy and Miah emerged from the … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 24
Chapter 23 Sam eyed the Victreebel before him. It balanced precariously on the bottom of its pear-shaped body which opened at the top in a large, vicious, fanged mouth. From the sides of the bottom of its torso, the color of which reminded Sam of an aging banana, two large, sturdy leaves propped themselves against the ground to stabilize its bellish body. It swayed as … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 23
Chapter 22 “H-how?” “How did you get yourself arrested? Boy, that’s not a good question for me, Sammy. But by the looks of you, it came with a spicy dash of police brutality.” Sam sat stunned in his silence at the sight of Tommy through the prison booth window. It simply could not be. Sam blinked hard; it had to be the concussion playing tricks … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 22
Chapter 21 It had been four days since the incident in Veilstone City. Sam had not heard from Barry at any point in those four days, and no one would answer his questions about where his partner was. Inside the Solaceon Prison, the nearest prison to Veilstone that wasn’t a crumbling mess with a downed wall, Sam had little contact with the outside world. Sam … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 21
Chapter 20 Most people, when confronted with a sound they could only recognize as explosions, run as far away as possible. Explosions imply destruction, damage, injury, and death; to the layperson, those are four things that are to be avoided at all costs. A person with a semblance of sanity and reason would hear explosions from over a dozen miles away and do everything in … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 20
Chapter 19 Chispa waited in silence on the other side of the sitrus bush. She stretched out her front paws and lowered her head and shoulders to the ground as she surveyed her prey, who was helplessly unaware of where she had vanished to. The lowering of her front end was countered by the raising of her hindquarters and tail, both of which wiggled with … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 19
Chapter 18 Floaroma Town was barely an outskirt of a suburb, a small stopover village nestled in the woods at the bottom of Mount Coronet. In comparison, Celestic Town may well have been a bustling center of trade. But where Celestic was surrounded by perpetual mountain haze, looming pine trees, and a jagged, knife-like terrain that combined to cause Sam to fear for his life … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 18
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
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
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
