Hard Enough - Chapter 93 - Interlude - Erika Gaiden

Erika knelt in her garden. Golden light split through the trees that had been artfully arranged to allow for optimal light while keeping the clearing temperate with the chance of small gusts of wind. She’d altered her garden this season. Not a l...

Hard Enough - Chapter 92 - Rocket Raid II electric boogaloo

I told Surge why I was there. It was a long and rather shameful handful of minutes admitting my own failures.

Surge’s grin only held for a few seconds.

Then it morphed into hard lines. It wasn’t a scowl. It was something more calcu...

Thanks go to Ryot_ryot for this work from Fivver!

As you can see I have linked together some ace trainer styles to create Missy! The Pewter Gym Trainer looking to empower her Rhydon!

Hard Enough - Chapter 91 - Planning the offensive

“Brock…” Sabrina stared at the rock that I had laid out on my table. With how she was staring at it in open wonder I knew this had to be resonating with her. It had to be a psychic-type pokemon megastone.

And the first psychic type to ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 90 - Confrontation

A sneer can do incredible things to a face. Typically, none of them beautiful.

Daniel’s sneer made his face sharper and more angular. His eyes seemed to sink into his face and become like dark gems that glitter out at the world. His lips t...

Hard Enough - Artwork - Lawrence the Lawyer

Another of Ryot_ryot's art pieces specifically showing off Pidgeot man! Aka Lawrence the Lawyer by trade, biker by hobby!

Very happy how this one turned out. I might have to commission them to do another version with his shirt off to show o...

Hard Enough - Chapter 89 - To protect the world!

“Yeouch! Eepers jeepers Jess! Careful with them mitts you call hands! I’m roughed up goods!” Meowth whined as Jess hugged him.

He pushed at her for a bit only to squirm a little as he tried to look at her. “Are you wiping your face o...

Hard Enough - Chapter 88 - Make it double!

Jessie lay atop the hill with half her body sticking out of a bush. She had some of the best binoculars that money could buy —stolen from the Rocket stores reserved for the Executives, of course—  at her disposal. In front of her the Pewt...

Red Riot - Chapter 7 - Tentative steps forward

Water lapped across my temples as I floated in the grotto pool. I’d lost count of how many times I’d come here. Of late, it was only when I felt certain that I had lost any tails, both from the clan children and from my own group.

A.N. Update on IRL situation

Hi Patreons, thanks for reading this; it is just giving you an update on some things that are affecting me personally. (Warning it's pretty depressing)

Specifically, my wife and I have been told that our baby is guaranteed ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 87 - Prepare for Trouble!

Cindy’s sonata of awakening roused the pokemon the next morning and I started the routine warm up for them before jogging around the plateau. When I spotted the two rostered trainers on the breakfast shift I jogged up.

“Morning Daniel, J...

Hard Enough - Chapter 86 - Terra, Training, and tests

Yolanda had been adamant that they meet as early as possible. Terra, as a baby pokemon had other ideas and had promptly fallen asleep when Yolanda had picked her up causing the plan to be shifted back.

Yolanda had happily accepted the compro...

Artwork - Hard Enough - Chibi Sabrina peeking!

This one goes to Ro_arts_Id on Fivver. I wanted to try something a little different, and cute with Sabrina. Enjoy Sabrina peeking in on you and wondering what you're doing! She might one day have the Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir at her side!

Voidhop - Chapter 2 - The Discovery

The spaceship XTC-3-246 slowed with all the grace of a roided up piljack hitting a building. It lurched, once, then sped up a touch before repeating the lurch. Branx keyed the line to engineering.

“We gonna live, or you socket monkeys all ...

Hard Enough - Chapter 85 - Interlude - Pride on the line

Mia was rather enjoying Cerulean. It had lovely water features, was a nice temperature, and was not nearly as packed as Pewter City. It also hadn’t been nearly as hard to get the Gym badge after Pewter, but then again Brock had said he was going...

Hard Enough - Chapter 84 - Gift giving and not forgiving

The last trainer for the day ended up being a doozy.

They’d selected the gauntlet run and on paper they looked like they knew what they were doing. They had a good sized team with pokemon of various sizes and types. They even had a grass t...

Hard Enough suit vote

I think I have half an idea which will be voted for, but I'm curious what people will vote for! Please vote for one of the three suits that have appeared to become part of the story in later scenes.

Hard Enough - Artwork - Suit up!

Another great artwork from Dearluna for the more formal looking art piece to go with Sabrina in a dress series!

There will be another vote made up for these, (Bronze tier will get to vote on them!) with the winner being written into the stor...

Hard Enough - Chapter 83 - Awkward Breakfasts

I was up and about early the next morning. The sun hadn’t yet risen over the horizon, and I was lapping some pokemon around the perimeter with my morning jog. When I was done, I set the pokemon to wrestling each other and warm their bodies up fo...

Hard Enough - Chapter 82 - Afternoon Antics

“Poliwhirl, use Bubblebeam to finish it off!” shouted the last trainer for the day.

Moxy subtly gave me a look and I made a face as though I was ‘saddened’ that the trainer had used a pokemon move that was super effective against me....

Hard Enough - Artwork - Trixie

From Dearluna from Fiverr once more we have some artwork to showcase what's going on in my mind when I picture Trainer Trixie! For those that can tell shi is inspired by a F/GO character. This trainer is also considered roughly 2 metres tall so sh...

The morning’s challenges passed without comment. They came, they challenged, they proceeded for the most part. Of the other five challengers after Greta I had four demonstrate enough skill while the last challenged at the fourth badge level only...

Hard Enough - Chapter 80 - Gruff Greetings for Greta

I walked through the racks of pokeballs that were on offer for today with a thoughtful hum. It was the first day of the week, so none of the pokemon on these racks needed to be avoided. I walked to the section that was now dedicated to the first b...

Voidhop - Chapter 1 - Branxulto'Mespik

Hard Enough - Chapter 79 - The day after

Hard Enough - Chapter 78 - Flint's return home
