Julian "I am Julian and I am here to challenge you to a gym battle"
Koga "Hmm, My name is Koga and I am the gym leader of the Fuchsia gym and I accept your challenge"
Aya who was in daze came running inside and saw that her brother had excepted the challenge she just shook her head and proceeded to do her job.
Aya "I will be the referee of this battle, both the gym leader and the trainer will use three pokemon each, the trainer is allowed to switch his pokemon in middle of the battle, the gym leader cannot do the same, the first person whose all three pokemons are unable to battle loses"
Julian 'looks like we will be facing three pokemons I have to change my strategy and send Heatran first as he has a Nidoking he will probably use it as his last so I will send Ivysaur to face his Nidoking'
Koga "Are you ready, go Venonat"
Julian "Go Heatran"
Seeing that Julian is not playing around and sending a powerful pokemon from the start Koga become serious he knew that Heatran was a steel type and his Venonat could not do much damage as he was in a serious disadvantage as both bug and poison won't work on a steel type
Koga "Venonat use supersonic"
Venonat sends waves of supersonic attacks but Heatran just stands there and takes the attack head-on.
Julian "Its was smart to attack Heatran with a normal type attack as your other moves won't work but, it still is useless as Heatran's defense is way high for normal attacks to hurt him"
Koga couldn't do anything but grit his teeth
Julian "Now Heatran use flamethrower"
Heatran send hot flames raging towards Venonat and sends him flying making it unable to battle
Aya "Venonat is unable to battle, Heatran wins"
Koga "Bringing a steel type really gives you an advantage but I have not given up, go Golbat"
Julian 'just as I thought he is saving Nidoking for the last battle'
Koga "Golbat fly high then use air cutter"
Golbat flys high and launches a barrage of air cutter towards Heatran, seeing the power of these air cutter Julian decided to not take any risk

Julian "Heatran dodge then use Flamethrower"
Heatran dodges the air cutters by moving left and right then he aim upwards towards Golbat and sends a powerful flamethrower towards Golbat
Koga "Ride alongside the flamethrower and use steel wing"
Golbat moves away from the direction of the flamethrower then activate steel wing and glide closely near the flamethrower and try to hit Heatran on the face, Julian didn't let this chance go.
Julian "Heatran quickly abandon flamethrower and use bite on Golbat wings"
As Julian instructed Heatran stops using flamethrower and when Golbat was near his face about to hit him with steel wing he opens his mouth and clamps onto Golbat's wings.
Seeing Golbat being caught by Heatran Koga tries to think of something but he does not know what to do in this kind of situation, on the other hand, Golbat tries to struggle out but Heatran is too strong is any struggle is futile.
Julian "Heatran lets finish this Magma storm"
As Julian gives the command to use magma storm the surrounding starts to heat up and magma starts to form around Heatran as the magma looks like a small tornado of lava, Heatran releases Golbat from his clutches but unlucky for Golbat the hot magma thrashes and rams Golbat first taking it upwards and then slamming it to the ground, the aftermath is known by everyone as there is no way that Golbat is able to escape that and as expected Golbat has fainted
Aya "Golbat is unable to battle, Heatran wins"
Koga "Your Heatran is way too powerful and that last move is really devastating"
Julian "Thank you for the praise"
Koga "Your Heatran may be powerful but my next pokemon is way tougher than any other you had faced, go Nidoking"
As Nidoking enters the battlefield Julian knew that it's going to be a hard battle for Heatran, not because he is a week but Nidoking can cause 4 times the damage to Heatran as Nidoking also being a ground type which is strong against both steel and fire but he also has the perfect pokemon to face this Nidoking
Julian "Your Nidoking looks really powerful, it looks like I have to switch my pokemon, Heatran return, go Ivysaur"

As Ivysaur being both grass and poison type, he has an advantage against ground types and resistant to poison, seeing Julian send out an Ivysaur Koga nearly coughed blood as he knew that he was once again put in a disadvantage.
Koga "You are really a cunning man"
Julian "Pokemon battle is not just how strong a pokemon is and their trust towards their partners, it also depends on perfect strategy, a good battle plan always lead to a high chance of victory"
Koga "This is indeed true, then lets start, Nidoking use mega horn"
Julian "Ivysaur dodge then use razor leaves"
Ivysaur moves away to the right and dodges the rampaging Nidoking which was coming towards him with a mega horn and uses razor leaves, the razor leaves used this time were different from his previous method, as all the leaves formed a giant spinning blade covered with energy which was sent crashing down towards Nidoking hurting him badly, Nidoking falls on the ground after getting hit by that huge razor leaf
Julian 'That razor leaf was really effective, as an individual leaf didn't do much damage, I instructed Ivysaur to use it like this looks like it has increased the power of razor leaf exceptionally'
Koga "Nidoking getup and use dragon tail"
Nidoking quickly got up and swung his glowing tail towards Ivysaur
Julian "Ivysaur quickly dodge and use leech seed"
Ivysaur easily jumped up and dodged the dragon tail and sent a leech seed towards Nigoking draining some of his power.
Koga 'That Ivysaur to too fast for Nidoking to catch up I have to find something to deal with it really fast, that's it!'
Koga "Nidoking use ice beam and cover the whole battlefield with ice"
Nidoking uses ice beam and freezes the whole ground and even freezing Ivysaur's legs on the ground
Koga "Great Nidoking lets finish this use hyper beam"
Julian "That was indeed a great plan but we are not defeated yet, Ivysaur use Solar beam to counter it"
Both Nidoking and Ivysaur charge up and release their attack at full power, as the two moves clash the power from it shatters all the ice covering the battlefield freeing Ivysaur who was already about to escape from the recoil of using Solar beam, the attacks cause a very big explosion and breaks through the roof creating a huge hole on top, seeing this Koga doesn't know what to do.
After using both of their powerful moves both need time to recharge their energy but that not the case for Julian
Julian "Its time to finish this, Ivysaur use synthesis, then hold Nidoking and use Giga drain"
Ivysaur uses synthesis and recharges in an instant going back to full power and soon uses vine whip and hold Nidoking and uses Giga drain to suck up all the power from Nidoking.
Nidoking loses all his strength and falls on his knees.
Koga "Nidoking noooooooo"
Julian "Now finish it up, use energy ball"
Ivysaur creates a huge energy ball which is double his size and sends it towards Nidoking hitting him and creating a huge BOOM, when the smoke is cleared Nidoking is seen on the ground fainted
Aya "Nidoking is unable to battle, Ivysaur wins, hence the winner of the challenge is Julian"
Koga just sighs as he knew that Julian is a very strong trainer and there will be only few who could defeat him, he sends Nidoking back to his Pokeball and walks towards Julian
Koga "Julian this is the Soul Badge, its a proof that you have defeated me to earn this"
He gives Julain the soul badge which Julian happily accepts
Julian "It was a good battle, I will be going then"
Julian sends Ivysaur back to his Pokeball puts the soul badge with the other four badges in his badge case and walks out of the gym
Julian "Haaaa, it was a good battle now I will head back to the city to pick up my bike then go to Saffron city, I hope that brat Ash has fixed that weird gym leader's problem".

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you. Working forces is difficult in the Age of Man, and gods are limited in the ways they interact with the world. The great monsters of old have mostly been slain, or sealed away. But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
