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. His feet came down so hard and so quickly, … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 7

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

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

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Twelve Years Ago “Vlam, use your confuse ray on it!” The small, red fox pokemon’s six tails stood erect from her hindquarters, and her amber eyes glowed with energy. The Machoke that had been charging her suddenly stumbled and fell over, its head cracking a rock on the field in two. The crowd assembled around the battle let out a cheer; the courageous … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 2

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Present Day Sam Stark woke up in the strange bed struggling for each breath. He caught a glimpse of the alarm clock next to his bed: Three in the morning. Sam pounded his fist into the too-hard mattress; he was used to having the nightmare by now, but he knew he’d never get used to how it felt waking from it. He briefly … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, Chapter 1

Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, The Prologue

Prologue: 15 Years Ago Sammy Stark stared down at the yellow-and-green orb in his hand. The boy had never held an actual pokeball before in his life, he had only seen them used by others: trainers, his dad, his brother Tommy…but never was he allowed to handle one. His father had always been adamant that Sammy would not be allowed to touch a ball until … Continue reading Brothers’ Bond: A Pokemon Story, The Prologue

Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of This Century

I am continuing on, counting down my favorite video games of all time. Last time, I listed off my favorite games of the 20th Century. This time, we’re going ahead with my ten favorites of the current century! Let’s get right into the list here… 10. WWE 2K22-2K24 As this stands, this is a three generation span of the WWE 2K series, and that’s for … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of This Century

Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of The Previous Century

Mostly when I’m supposed to be doing work, but I’m NOT doing work, it’s because I am video gaming. I do try to turn my gaming into “work” (or, at least, into content) by streaming the occasional game and then posting the stream over to the SWO Productions YouTube channel. But I’m a lot better at just playing games than I am at any kind … Continue reading Stew’s Top Ten Video Games Of The Previous Century

The Last Meowth: Conclusion

The white place where Pewter had taken the kitten got dark sometimes, too. Pewter said that was night time, just like Mama had said. When the white place went dark, Pewter would tell him to get some rest and put the kitten in the red and white circle. The kitten didn’t mind because before he knew it, he’d be back out of the circle. And … Continue reading The Last Meowth: Conclusion

Bottom 5: Worst Generation 3 Pokémon

Moving on with our coverage of the most annoying/boring/uninspired Pokémon in existence, we journey to the water-covered Hoenn region, and see what it has to offer us for just bottom-of-the-barrel Pokeys. We’ve previously covered Kanto and Johto, and our current team of bad pokeys sits at Jynx and Unown. And you know what? There’s not even anything outrageously bad here in Hoenn. You’d think that … Continue reading Bottom 5: Worst Generation 3 Pokémon

The Bottom Five: Worst Generation 2 Pokemon

We’re back, as I INCREDIBLY RELUCTANTLY list the worst Pokémon of each generation. (At least the first six generations) ((We’ll see from there)) What is the basis for a determining a “worst” Pokémon? It’s easy and scientific! I look at a list of all Pokémon created in each new region, and then I think to myself “Oh, I didn’t like that one for reasons”. And … Continue reading The Bottom Five: Worst Generation 2 Pokemon

The Bottom 5: Worst Generation 1 Pokemon

This was something that was suggested to me back when I did my Top Ten Pokemon of each [of the first six] generation[s]. (I like brackets) I was makin decisions on which Pokemon I loved from those Gens; why not go through and find the ones I had no particular affection for? There are so many Pokemon to LOVE; aren’t there an equal amount to … Continue reading The Bottom 5: Worst Generation 1 Pokemon
