Just to throw some chum in the water for the shippers, here's Lance showing Ilene some attention!
Hard Enough - Chapter 356 - Aftercare
The party ended up lasting deep into the night with the live feed cutting off at nine due to restraints on the broadcasting with other programs still needing to run their usual fare.Not that it mattered, we’d broken a record with fundraising for the Orange Island and while there were going to be a lot of blurry, sore people tomorrow out and about. They had contributed by doing a lot of good.They had committed to helping out various islands on the way out.Archibald Honda had a small fleet of ships prepared and was going to lead them towards Ku...
Hard Enough - Chapter 355 - A Legendary Party
It was fortunate that Shamouti island had been holding a festival during the attack, and in the aftermath, everyone had a lot more pressing concerns, so no one had really bothered to pack up the stalls, lanterns or various extra pieces of gear around the island.We’d left Flannery to oversee the feeding of the Legendary Cats. Which saw Sabrina, Visquez and I marching up the path from the beach to find the closest police officer who happened to be talking to Elder Tobias at the time.When we’d marched up to them. “Lugia wants to have a party...

Hard Enough - Chapter 354 - Beach time escapades
Eventually, we had to burst the bubble that had formed around us while Sabrina had been recovering. We started by contacting Lance and informing him that Sabrina had recovered from the incident and that we would remain here for a few more days.Lance had accepted that but hadn’t attempted to give us any orders or suggestions as his focus was mainly on getting our insight into Fiore Delegate Fjord.“Antagonistic, you’d say?”“Very,” I replied. “We’d set up to train with our pokemon and our friends, only for her to seek us out. She t...
Hard Enough - Chapter 353 - Waking up to a world gone mad
Ditching Oak with Dr Kaminko had proven to be the right choice. I’d been able to skip all the drama that had ensued with his arrival and subsequent detainment by the local forces.To my understanding, he was currently in discussion with Yuji and the other bigwigs but that was something I wanted to steer clear of.I’d just focused on the small things I could do, like cleaning up the island from all the storm damage it had faced. Shamouti might have gotten off light compared to other islands but that didn’t mean that Shamouti got away with no...
Artwork - Regirock and the twins
One of Ryot_ryot's artwork showing off a moment with Brock's new addition to the team along with Billy and Tilly. Should anything happen to them...As always throw any suggestions you have in the comments or on the discord channel!
Hard enough - Chapter 352 - Foreign exchange
Wes shifted in his chair. “I still can’t believe that rumour was true about the explosives in our helmets,” he muttered.Rui grunted, her eyes locked on the window but with how glassy her eyes were it was obvious she wasn’t actually looking at something. She was lost in her head.The quiet was kind of getting to Wes though so he filled it with whatever came to his mind.“Think the locals are going to have us shot?”“No,” replied Rui, speaking for the first time. “They were actually the ones to help us,” she said softly.Wes nodde...
Hard Enough - Chapter 351 - Shamouti shake up
Samuel Oak, the first Champion of Indigo, was the first to arrive at the scene of the battle. He did so on the back of a powerful-looking Dragonite.When he landed, he surveyed the area, his lab coat swishing about him like a cape. His gaze was unusually intense, and his jaw was set. There was a palpable aura of frustration about him.He took the time to absorb everything in a slow, practised manner.I noted he had to push himself not to linger on any of the Legendary pokemon, but he did so. Instead, pausing on other more minor issues, like how pa...
Poll - Red Riot
Should Matsu sign on with the Chameleon clan?While Nono the Chameleon is a lying liar who lies, she wasn't lying about the clan's specialities.That being, espionage, subterfuge, and weaponry.Now he can either sign on with them, or he can offer it up to one of his friends aka Shoto.Poll will end on the 15th at 11:50 am AEST. No Multi voting for this one as it's a straight yes or no. Throw comments if you think it should go to someone else or your ideas.
Hard Enough - Chapter 350 - Fulfilling the Prophecy
Klaxons blared as red lights flashed about the command deck.“Warning! Warning! Structural damage detected! Auxiliary engines engaged! Recommend retreat from active combat!” chimed the A.I.Janine, wearing the guise of the Wing Commander of Team Hurricane grimaced.Two hits on Shadow Lugia. That’s all they’d been able to manage.It didn’t help that it was incredibly fast, or that the other Legendary birds were often in the way of ideal shots… or that she and her crew weren’t as versed with the weapons on the Flying Palace as they’d ...
Hard Enough - Chapter 349 - Smart Villians
“Hello there!” I announced to the group of Cipher Peons that were standing guard on the beach of Fire Island.The group stared at us. Or at least I hoped that’s what I thought they were doing. It was kind of hard to judge with the visors that they all wore.Visors that Sabrina and I were also wearing.“Where’d you come from?” growled one of the burlier men as he raised his firearm in our direction.Sabrina slowly gestured to us all while Erika snapped her hands upwards and replied quickly. “Woah sorry! We were with Admin Venus but I...

I had Ryot_ryot do up Lucario with his transceiver browsing the pokenet. I asked for squiggles of text but got LATE instead but it's fine... we all know what Lucario is actually looking at...
Hard Enough - Chapter 348 - The battle of Ice and Fire
Forrest gritted his teeth as the sailboat that they were flying on bounced across another frozen wave.“Are you sure this boat is going to hold?” he roared over the sound of screeching metal and thunder.“I’m sure! And it's a ship! Not a boat! Don’t offend her like that!” Melody shouted back.Ash stood at the front of the ship, not at all worried about being tossed off as he adjusted to each dip and hump expertly. His gaze was locked ahead and for the first time since Forrest had talked to Brock, saw some of the potential mentioned...
Hard Enough - Chapter 347 - Criminals, Heretics, and Heroes
What I was attempting was honestly not something that I had any basis of success for.None beyond a gut feeling and the knowledge of how in the pokemon world effort typically resulted in good things coming your way. Even the villains of the series, when they stopped being bad guys and instead worked hard, were ultimately successful.So I was pretty much leaning on tropes to carry the day for us here.That and Misty had already been able to establish a bond with a powerful watertype before.I had to hope that it would translate into being able to co...
Author announcement - Update about IRL
Hey to all my patreons, just looking to give people a heads up for what's coming up for me in the coming months.Things are somewhat settling into a fairly established rhythm for me, so of course that means I need to find a way to trip myself up. Which is to say my wife and I are expecting a third child at the end of the year, so things around late November/December will be pretty nuts with sleep, and work schedules going out the window.What does this mean for the stories I'm currently writing?1. I'm trying to build up a backlog of c...

Artwork - Lance and Lorelei
Another of Ryot's creations we've gone with Lance and Lorelei to give them some love! I'm very amused by how high up the thigh Ryot has gone with the miniskirt slit.
Hard Enough - Chapter 346 - The Evils of Orre
With lightning bringing day to night and thunder rolling over us we stared down at the Cipher group.We didn’t call out to them. We didn’t signal for them to stand down.We had locked eyes, and despite the distances involved and the lack of any spoken word, we knew that violence was the only acceptable option to choose.Sabrina extended her telepathic connection to Visquez, Erika, and me. A few moments later, Ash, Misty and Forrest were also included causing the trio to stiffen up.“Ash, you need to get that orb and get out of here as fast as...
Hard Enough - Chapter 345 - The Storm
I allowed the sun to wash over me as I fiddled with the bracer on my arm. My toes wiggled into cooler sand as I absent-mindedly reached for the pebbles that were all around.Jessie, James, Meowth, Forrest, and Erika were arranged in a line of laid out towels in various states of relaxation or exhaustion.Forrest shot James and Jessie annoyed looks as the human pair of the trio lounged and sipped from fruity drinks. The glare must have been not very effective as they didn’t so much as acknowledge the glare from behind their giant sunglasses.Erik...
Artwork - Gardening for Greatness with Erika!
Another of Ozlyk's creations I think they've knocked it out of the park with this one. What are people's thoughts? Post here and on discord. I know I hinted at another small article featuring Visquez but are there any other people you'd like to see have Magazine covers?
Hard Enough - Chapter 344 - The quiet before...
Chateau Romani was a damn fine drink I thought as I took another pull from the bottle.“You know, maybe you should go easy on that stuff boss?” suggested a nasally voice.I glanced at Meowth who was sitting beside me at the pop-up noodle stand.Sabrina had decided that she’d do a walk-around to get Erika and Visquez familiar with the layout of Shamouti. She’d also mentioned that she was going to talk shop about the wedding.Which had left me somewhat adrift. I’d already approached Tobias, and sent Lance an official request through League ...
Hard Enough - Chapter 343 - Storm on the horizon
In the games I had never cared about what capturing a Legendary pokemon had entailed.It was perhaps hypocritical of me, seeing as I now owned a Legendary, but my general view of them was that they shouldn’t be captured. It was like someone taking control of a force of nature, or law of the world.What would happen if someone captured a pokemon like Palkia? Dialga?Or Arceus?The thought seemed blasphemous but Arceus wasn’t known to smite people.But Lugia? A pokemon that was known to maintain the currents of the world? The Oceanic lifeblood?Per...

This would legit be Erika's response to being shown a Time Flower and the amazing potential that they have.
Hard Enough - Chapter 342 - Silph Co's shame
Maren’s list of potential sites that might have something going on hadn’t resulted in us finding something straight away but it did give us new targets to investigate.Some of them were simple corporations running shady tests that they didn’t want Indigo oversight on. I passed messages along to various authorities regarding those.In the past we might have leapt into action as Heros Black, Yellow and Green but right now we were on something of a time crunch.We only had a few days before the looming festival which felt like a slowly creeping...
Hard Enough - Chapter 341 - Ultra... everything?
“Was it a thrusting action?” I muttered to myself as I tried to flow the rock energy through the Z Crystal while performing a series of thrusting maneuvers. Maybe I needed to wiggle a little? No, that didn’t make sense.I knew movement had a serious component of activating the crystals but it was all a matter of remembering the exact movement that flowed into a stance.I’d already tried an arm swing into a cross over, a stomp punch, a locking and double punch, a kneeling pose, and even a step with an elbow first.The only one that I knew s...
Artwork - Misty and her Mega Evolution!
Just a fun artwork of Misty and a Megaevolved Blastoise! It probably needed to be bigger but it's fine for a young Blastoise I think! I'm also in talks with Ozlyk to do up some Magazine covers for Erika.Any other people that might be interesting to see?
