• 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?

    The Covenant. They were talking about the goddamn Covenant, weren't they. And Sparkwright was not a member, while it sounded like the other two both were. He liked the Rotom more by the minute. "Oh yeah, we've heard about something like that," Dave said. "Been approached by some recruiters...

    Novelux Dunsmuir Duel Dome

    Dave watched the three of them with interest. Douglas a naïve chatterbox blissfully revealing whatever, the Lopunny clearly trying to cover for Matthias and not very subtle about it, Sparkwright... on their side? At the very least he was just as interested in what'd happened to Brisa. "The...

    Dave's ears perked. Matthias. So they had a name for the Greninja. That was definitely progress. As was the theory that she was sheltering in a dungeon. "So this 'strange character', if it was a Greninja, could you tell us any more about him? What was he ostensibly doing here? You say he was...

    Dave raised his eyebrows. "Yeah, if only. Wouldn't that be great, pen an opinion piece and suddenly everyone just gets it. Wave a magic wand, poof, solve bigotry." He flicked a paw at the air like an orchestra conductor. "Anyway, uh, thanks for the food and the booze. It hit the spot. Feeling a...

    Dave nodded along, raising an eyebrow. "About what I figured. Well, your secret's safe with me. Hope they've left you alone since." Still, selling weed - formerly selling weed - didn't exactly make for the sort of big notworthy stuff a lot of Wayfarers were involved in, unless the gang not...

    "Good to meet you both," Dave said, holding a paw forward. "Name's Dave; we came from Frontier Town. Sparkwright of Sparkwright Polytechnic, I take it?" This place looked downright modern. Had to be offworlders behind that, right? One or both of them?

    Novelux The Museum of Everlasting Brilliance

    Huh. Dave looked back at the nearby diorama, dead-serious cowboy Pokémon history in a world that supposedly needed saving. "Yeah, we are a bizarre bunch. Most everyone I've talked to is somehow entangled in something big and fucked-up back home, larger than life backstories and big dramatic...

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Dave watched her deflating in response. God. This poor fucking kid. Out there risking literally everything, no support from dickhead parents, trying to uncover some kind of petnapping conspiracy while dependent on the perpetrators for a living. He sank back on the bed. "Yeah. I know what you...

    Dave waved a paw. "No siblings, and extended family's mostly also religious nuts. I don't talk to them. But my daughter likes to draw, if that counts. She's ten, not exactly professional-grade, but not for lack of enthusiasm." He furrowed his brow. Wait, there was Sharon. "Oh, yeah, I've got an...

    Dave snorted at the 'lizard fucked a garden rake'. Eternatus? Might be something from a monster movie back home or something? Christ. And some CEO had, what, awakened the thing for a publicity stunt? What the actual fuck went on in all these worlds. "Jesus. That's a lot." She'd gotten a...

    It was a bit different to listen to Andre knowing he was practically a kid. Clearly smart and well read and with a strong sense of right and wrong, but he hadn't even been through college, still working through what he wanted to be when he grew up. "Well, I used to read a lot of science books...

    Dave opened his mouth, about to ask if this inspection lawyer type was a fucking Inteleon in a top hat by any chance, but then... no? A Greninja? Greninja. Hadn't Gladion mentioned something about the Vanguard warning them about a Greninja who was part of the Coven? Who Nolan had then acidly...

    Some legendaries were real? Well, sure. He'd take it. Still no indication they were actually gods over there, just Pokémon that people had latched onto and worshipped. Rich parents did explain a lot about a guy working as a self-employed painter. "Huh. I was taking you for late twenties, early...

    "Huh. Interesting." Gods that took human and Pokémon forms were definitely a thing in some religions back home, he supposed. "So in your world legendaries are myths, like in mine? Threw me for a loop to come here where they're apparently all just real fucking Pokémon wandering around, but...

    Dave was going to tell her not to let them grind her down and send her crawling back home, that she could earn cash and stay on her own two feet and make her own life, fuck them. But then she casually dropped extradimensional legendaries in there, and it took some heroic concentration to absorb...

    "And nobody's seen her since, is what you're saying? Think the 'domeheads' might know more?"

    Dave snorted. "Christ. Yeah, people sure love to cherry-pick their religious scriptures. Justify the bigotry you like, brush aside anything you don't like, then pretend this millennia-old text full of batshit depravity is actually the guide to everything right and true in the world. What else is...

    Dave took a deep breath. To be expected when he'd mentioned it, really. "It was this insane religious nut. Got it into his head that the science I was doing was an abomination unto the Lord and he was put on this Earth to fix that with a rifle. He missed and killed my coworker, then his equally...

    Vanguard sympathizers over here, apparently. Might explain some of the reluctance, if everyone thought they were terrorists. The news about the Luxio was more interesting. He'd heard something about a sports battling venue in Novelux. Some weird gut feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on...

    Jesus. She was homeless. Even if it sounded like Pokémon trainers had some socialized amenities. And corporate funding, apparently...? "Pretty much. Lamarckism is the idea of the inheritance of traits acquired through use and disuse in the organism's life. Real life does have epigenetics, where...
