• 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?

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    The atmosphere grew heavier and heavier and the world turned darker and darker, until -- In a blink, Ridley was back at the table. The world was normal again - or, well, as normal as it was before, the colors still drained from his surroundings and the bar's noises muffled. "Well, Wyndon's a...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    As Ridley got further from Mike, the world around him seemed to darken. The pressure of the air around him seemed to increase, a headache began budding, and the sounds of the bar became more distorted. The further he went, the more oppressive the feeling got. He could still keep going... but...

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Well, Wyndon's a big place," Mike said. "I'm sure you can find all kindsa people here. Me, though, I'm a trainer. Though that's not 'for fun'. Nah, that's a lifestyle." He seemed proud. Proud, and eager to talk about himself.

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    "Oh, alright," Mike said. He seemed a little disappointed that Ridley hadn't responded with whether or not he'd heard of him, let alone positively, but he covered it with another smirk. "Don't worry. Stick with me and you'll have a good time." He leaned past Ridley to look at the bar. "Uhh...

    The man looked up from his phone, confused but a little amused. "No," he said and pointed to himself with a thumb, smirking. "I'm Mike. Mike Thomson. Maybe you've heard of me?"

    Whispers of Andre and Ridley

    The quiet darkness faded slowly. What it revealed was... a bar. A bar filled with mostly humans, but some pokémon as well, mostly humanoid. Their conversing voices were muffled, as if heard behind a wall, though they were right there. The same went for the club music playing through the...

    Novelux Whisperwind Comb Mystery Dungeon

    Andre let out a tense sigh. This was only the second mystery dungeon he'd been in, right? And Lumirror Forest had been child's play. Sure, it also messed with you a bit psychologically, but nowhere near what the rumors about the Comb promised. And to make matters worse... He looked at Ridley...

    "Yeah, I've been fine. I don't even live anywhere near them anymore." While trying to think of a way to change the subject, Andre realized he'd gotten rather hungry. "Say, it's been a while since I ate," he started. "Would you like to get a bite to eat? There's got to be someplace nearby that...

    Oh, dear. Andre had brought this on himself. He took a moment to think about his answer... "I sold weed," he finally said. "I sold weed and the local gang didn't like it. I was young and stupid. Haven't done it since."

    "Oh, that's so cute!" "Well, she's in college, studying linguistics, but she does have a Patraton - oh, right, should explain, that's basically a website where people can support your creative work monetarily - yeah, a Patraton for some income from the webcomic. It used to be a hobby, but then...

    "I'm glad you got to do what you wanted with your life even if your parents opposed it," Andre said. "Probably," he said. "Then again, I hear that archeology can be back-breaking. Toiling on a digsite for hours in the sun... doesn't sound appealing, but I also can't turn up my nose at that...

    Andre smiled at Dave's smirk, though he didn't know if being mistaken for five or ten years older than he actually was was a good thing. At least it wasn't because of his looks. "Truth be told, I haven't fully decided yet," he said. "I'd need to find the balance between things I'm interested in...

    "Well, some are myths, but then there are pokémon that were definitely real and were just thought of and worshipped as gods by humans and pokémon alike. Like Ho-Oh and Lugia, of which there are early photographs, and also thousands of consistent paintings. They haven't been seen after the...

    Andre nodded along to Dave as he spoke. "Well, people worship all kinds of things," Andre said, "or used to. Less of that now, but there are still diverse beliefs. Some worship gods that are said to be pokémon, some worship gods that have both human and pokémon forms, some worship gods that...

    "Oh, wow," Andre said. That certainly wasn't a bar brawl. "No, the criminals I've had to deal with were just... regular gang members, really. It's a long story that I'd rather not get into." He cleared his throat. "Though I have met some religious nuts in my time. Met one guy who was a devout...

    Andre had completely forgotten about the 'experience with criminals' remark he'd made. Gods, he really should have thought twice and considered how that may sound. Thankfully, Dave had said he wasn't judging. If he meant that. "Huh." Why had that person tried to kill Dave? Bar brawl? Could you...

    "Well, it is kind of a sixth sense, yeah," Andre said. "It's... probably not going to make sense to someone who's never had it, like colors to someone who's been blind since birth, but I guess the closest thing to it is hearing. You can tell what direction an aura is coming from, like a sound...

    "Aura is a type of measurable energy, yeah," Andre said. "Humans and pokémon radiate aura in different patterns when they have certain emotions or they're, like, thinking really hard. Ghosts use aura waves to communicate and to sniff out stressed out targets to absorb life from, lucario convert...

    "Well, it's like... there are species that always turn out sapient, species that can turn out sapient if raised with the right stimuli, and species that can't turn out sapient no matter how they're raised. A lot of the always-sapient species are humanoid, and I think the theory is that it's...

    Andre nodded. "I'm a human, yes, and absolutely. This is about how it went down in the Unovan States. The Borean settlers displaced the indigenous peoples of the place, mostly human but also some mon, like the gurdurr line, the gothitelle line, the bisharp line..." He paused. "How are pokémon...
