LiteratureWatership Down by Richard Adams: A reviewI’ve been saying for many, many years that I would get round to rereading this book and reviewing it, and you know from the title alone I’ve finally done just that! What helped was motivation provided by summer walks with my husband and seeing a group of rabbits feeding, often early morning or evening as long as there were no dogs, in our area. Of course, seeing bunnies makes me want to revisit this! Watership Down by Richard Adams, which started out life as a simple improv story during a car journey with his family (tangent here, but I remember David Tennant on The Legend of Vox Machina saying stories should start in people’s front rooms, and Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein after a nightmare… so maybe it is the little things in life that make the best stories!). Hazel and Fiver, two brothers, live in a humble warren where Hazel is getting a little tired of trodden on by the Owsla (aka guard). Fiver knows he won’t get into the Owsla but he has a special ability: visions of the future.All

LiteratureCOR Nuzlocke Chap 3: Let's TrainFor the rest of that day Oichi caught me up to speed with the rules, general battle strategies and most importantly, what was going on in the continent. While most people either didn’t have a Pokémon or had only one, only warriors battled with them. These were people who felt a stronger connection with their Pokémon, called bonds, and a fighting spirit. Some of those warriors became bandits, others decided to be mercenaries and the rest soldiers. People who protected their kingdom from other kingdoms, and invaded others for the purposes of alliance or domination, were called Warlords, regardless of gender, and each kingdom had at least one Warlord. There were currently 17 kingdoms, each having a predominant type of Pokémon, Aurora’s being normal type. There was a famous tale, passed down so that literally everyone knows about it. That should Ransei become a single kingdom, a united continent, then the Pokémon that created Ransei would be revealed, a Pokémon that no doubt was strong.Conquest of Ransei Nuzlocke

In the plaza a single strip of long white cloth has been laid out in the centre, with people standing either side of it. At the front a trellised arch made of seasonal flowers hangs over Albinous, the griffon guardian of the island. In front of him is the groom, the man about to get married. He is dressed a simple white suit with a waistcoat of deep forest green, bordered with gold thread. His gaze isn’t on the setting though, but in the sky as he watches a flock of birds fly past.

LiteratureFate Transformed Choice Regretted (Oinkologne Tf)I don’t regret joining Odysseus. I don’t regret the war, or facing the Cyclops, or somehow surviving Poseidon’s wrath. I don’t even regret what happened after, because I understand now that’s what fate had for me, what the Gods deign for us. What I do regret is the choice that led me to that fate. Let me set the scene: washed up on an unfamiliar island, much of our crew dead from either fighting or drowning, our morale at an all time low. As much as I respected and cared for my friend Odysseus, I… I just wanted to be done. I wanted our journey to be over. I guess he did too, for he spent much of that day staring at the ocean which had been denied to us by Poseidon. I wanted to tell him something rather important, a mistake that I made that weighed heavily on my shoulders, but before I could Odysseus had me and him draw lots. One was to stay with the ship, the other to travel inland and scout with a crew. I obeyed as I always… usually did. He was the best of us after all, the onePokemon Tfs

LiteratureFactory of Runes Diamond Tormentlocke Summary(Obviously this summary contains spoilers! This is for those who wish to jump into the sequel without having to read over 100 chapters.) Runa awakens with no memory in the rain but is found by Barry. In order to discover her origins, Runa leaves her caretaker Dawn and becomes a Pokémon trainer alongside Barry in the Sinnoh region. She gets her starter, Raguna the Turtwig, and agree to help Professor Rowan with his research into evolution, by seeing if changing each action each turn in battle results in any evolution changes (thus making the run a Tormentlocke). Runa managed to get her first catches, with the most notable being Aden the Starly, Julia the Magikarp and Bismark the Shinx. The group are asked by Runa what their dreams are, so that she can help them achieve it alongside her own. Raguna wants to be a farmer, Aden a cool leader, Julia a beauty idol and Bismark a champion. This last dream goes unfulfilled: Runa’s first battle with Barry sees Bismark lose his life to his ownFactory of Runes Tormentlocke
LiteraturePainting a Problem (Shiny Smeargle Tf)Alola was a vast and varied set of islands, but there weren’t many households that looked as modest as the one owned by Lisa Amon. A beautiful garden was situated out back, while inside was fairly non-descript but filled with plenty of comfort. This might have taken a visitor aback, had they only known the bare basics of what she looked like: a Johto immigrant of blonde hair, Caucasian lineage and brown eyes, and a distant relative of a certain Harriet that also lived in Alola. Lisa was, in fact, Prime Minister of Alola. She had been elected to the role 2 years ago, and many had agreed she had done a lot of good within that time. UneCommissions

LiteratureNOCT3 EpilogueThe consequences hadn’t been as severe as Cecilia imagined, but it had still been horrible to see. She thought about this as she walked through Pannep’s prison, following silently behind the guard. After the light from the moonblast had quelled, Cecilia had seen several things. She had seen Oshima crumbled, back against the rocks he had emerged out of, one of his wings trailing uselessly on the ground. She had seen Delmarva panting and making her way slowly to her. She had seen Damiana and her Gardevoir rush forward towards Emy. She had seen Pacivima and the Mega-Tyranitar look towards the Gardevoir, posed but still ready for batNOCT3
