• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    "Articuno!" Gladion shouted out over Sam's head, "You said you had this under control!" But there was no point arguing, was there? At least, not by bemoaning that they weren't supposed to be acting like this. From his experience with corruption, Articuno probably felt like they were in control...

    Magna City Shining Congress – Main Lobby

    Gladion’d stepped off the sandy sparring pitch once he started to realize that his doppelgänger wasn’t gonna show. He’d stashed Gladius’ dossier somewhere safe before heading into enemy territory. Figured it’d be stupid to bring ‘em all right back to Gladius given he’d clearly not wanted to...

    "Ah, I see..." Navigating Gladius' damaged memory was already difficult. This sounded worse. "I don't mean to pry, you don't have to answer... but have you told her? I don't know what it would do, but..." Giving advice didn't come naturally to Lillie. (It was hard not to think of herself as...

    Lillian tried not to sigh. "Oh... he did. He was really worried about them!" It was part of his crusade to convince her that she wasn't allowed to care about the other version of him, which left her with a strong reflex not to get involved in it. Despite that, his concern wasn't performative...

    “He’ll come around. I think. I hope he will, there’s no good reason he shouldn’t” Well, Gladion. thought he had a good reason not to, at least. She should ask about that, just for certainty. And to pass it onto him. “So, I know— I trust that you wouldn’t have, but I mean, I just have to ask...

    There was a question weighing on Lillie. She wanted to see Gladius again, anyway, so it felt like as good a reason as any to go visit him. She greeted him, decided against giving him a hug because he probably wouldn’t like that anymore since they were both adults, and eased into her question...

    Lillie took a step back, startled. Did she know? Did she know what Nebby was all along??? Had she been trying to salvage a dumb obvious lie that Jade had seen through from the start??? Also, Hazel... Hazel was... Right! That was what Gladion called the Null he'd saved. Not an ultra beast. Of...

    "Oh, yeah," Lillian said, as if she knew how it was with strong pokemon. The program must have different reasons to pick different people, because Lillie was hardly Gladion's most powerful connection. Quite the opposite, realistically. Maybe it was because she could rise to the challenge and...

    Lillian's eyes lit up. "Oh, you're a trainer!" That was great. Trainers were cool. And also really liked talking about their pokemon! "That's cool. I've been caring for one myself, too." (Oh no! She'd skipped saying an important sentence out loud there!) "I mean, a pokemon, obviously. Not a...

    Lillian put a hand to her chest and laughed. "Oh, don't worry about me. I'm doing fine!" After all, this was the kind of thing she used to wish for! To be pulled from her existing life into a fantastical world where she could live freely, experience something interesting, and be someone heroic...

    Threadmarks: Ch9: Jade and Lillie

    The threat of going stir-crazy was not a foreign one to Lillie, but Forlas presented new challenges on this front. Reading was the only pastime she had that really translated, and even she had her limits on how much she could read before it grew tiresome. She didn’t have any access to the...

    Gladion rolled his eyes. “Hey, if it goes into your paycheck, it’s staying in our group. That's pragmatic. Even if it ends up going towards treating lizards… That’s Nolan, right? Met him, but, eh, you remember how that went.” It’d been right after they’d raided Terminal Two and freed Sage, so...

    “Can’t help myself,” Gladion said, despite trying to look as unworried as possible. “I mean, I hardly think it’s likely you’re gonna end up in a violent fugue…” (Careful phrasing, implying he’d discarded the chance of it happening without expressly saying he had. By now, Articuno would know him...

    Novelux Teardrop Station

    Gladion grinned. Though it did look a little bit forced, like he was also thinking about something else. (About what he’d seen in Articuno’s eyes, what he’d heard in their voice.) “Hell yeah. I’d say I wouldn’t miss it for the world, but y’know if it comes to that stability-wise I guess I...

    Novelux Teardrop Station

    Sure sounded like Articuno had some radiant lilt to their voice still. (Reminded him of the way Laura would talk sometimes.) They had it under control, right? They were behaving reasonably, at least. “Gotta break the rules sometimes! I approve wholeheartedly. Obviously gotta keep an eye out and...
