    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?

    Frontier Town Sanctum of Wishes

    Ridley nodded along as Steven launched into his explanation. Most of what he talked about were topics Ridley was already familiar with, but it was clear Steven's knowledge was several levels above Ridley's in terms of depth and nuance. The difference between an actual competitive battler and a...

    Frontier Town Sanctum of Wishes

    "Ah," Ridley said awkwardly. Had Steven not heard about the wagon fiasco? Or maybe he just hadn't known that Ridley was a part of it. "Yeah, I was part of the first group to encounter a shadow pokemon. It, uh, didn't go great." Which was an understatement if there ever was one, but Steven...

    Frontier Town Sanctum of Wishes

    Steven was obviously trying to sound upbeat about his situation. He'd be alright, sure. Right now not so much, Ridley guessed. "Slow healing sucks," he agreed. "You sure you're doing okay, though? I've been mauled by one of those things before and it's never a great time afterwards." They'd all...

    Frontier Town Sanctum of Wishes

    It probably shouldn't have surprised Ridley to encounter another Wayfarer in this place. There were enough of them that running into each other now and again was pretty much inevitable. Still, something about the Sanctum's gentle serenity made the presence of another person he knew feel somehow...

    Threadmarks: Ch03 - The Sound of Bells

    After the chaos of recent events, the Sanctum of Wishes' tranquil atmosphere felt like a much-needed balm for Ridley's mind. He'd been sleeping badly enough as it was, and then for Steven to be attacked in his own room like that... Ridley tilted his head, staring up at the light filtering down...

    Offscreen Activities

    Following the shadow skorupi/drapion attack, Ridley spends time researching anything he can learn about Radiance.

    Frontier Town Drungfield's Remedies

    Ridley had been less hurt than most of his companions, but the aftershocks of the adrenaline left him feeling shaken and fidgety. Every few minutes he'd get up and pace the length of the room, which he was sure was infuriating for everyone else to watch, but he couldn't sit still. His body...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Kimiko's song was a much-needed balm after the horror of the evening. Listening to it, Ridley felt the tight knot of panicked emotion in his chest start to uncoil. He eyed the shadow drapion's fallen form warily, but the fear and anticipation thrumming through his body was slowly being replaced...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Ridley just barely managed to yank himself free of the floor in time to roll out of the way of the enraged shadow drapion. He flattened himself against the wall as it passed. The remaining pin missile spikes were a hotcold agony in his side. The rasp of his breath sounded horrifyingly loud to...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Was that it? Is it over? "There's no way it's over," Ridley muttered to himself. He hesitated, caught between his desire to go over and take a closer look at the shadow pokemon and the small shrill alarm bell of self-preservation ringing in the back of his head. The skorupi lay there...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    On Steven's desk, near where the notebook had been, sat a lamp flickering with faint candlelight, as though he'd been reading late into the night. As someone who'd been doing the exact same thing, Ridley wasn't in a position to judge. The shadow skorupi hated light. The lamp's dim flickering...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Was it the same skorupi he'd seen in Blaguarro? Could it be the same skorupi? It felt impossible to believe that it had somehow stalked them all the way back from Blaguarro, but that was less insane then Ridley's instinctive, kneejerk panic that one of his nightmares had somehow crawled its way...

    Frontier Town Traveller's Haus - Guest Rooms

    Ridley didn't realise he was sleeping until the noise woke him up. He'd borrowed a thick stack of books from the library, with the idea that if he wasn't going to be sleeping anyway he might as well put the time to use. At some point or other he must have drifted off, because the crashing and...

    Sojaveña Wilds Dusty Highway

    "Nah, I think I said everything I wanted to say," Ridley answered. "Got more than enough new information to be working with for the time being. We can head back." Besides, now that there was a consistent way to contact the Voice, he could just head back to this area if he founds something else...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    "It looked like a fairly standard charmeleon, except that its tail-flame was weird," Ridley answered. "Very faint, barely there at all, and it didn't give off any light."

    Sojaveña Wilds Dusty Highway

    That was... interesting, but also confusing. Ridley had never known skorupi to have any particular aversion to light, so he wasn't sure why the shadow skorupi would show such a strong unwillingness to venture into the light from the watchtower if that wasn't a typical trait for shadow pokemon...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    "Eight of us have seen them, and six or seven of us have had the dreams, I think," Ridley said. From Jade's response he could guess that she had, and - well, he still wasn't certain whether Andre had heard anything or not, but maybe he'd dismissed it as a regular dream the way Dave had. Given...

    Frontier Town Sun Stone Saloon

    Ridley made his way into the Sunstone Saloon, his brain buzzing and feeling halfway to overflowing with the desire to communicate what he'd learnt while talking with Dave and the Voice. He tried to press that energy down. Most of what he knew either wasn't vital or was known by so many people...

    Sojaveña Wilds Dusty Highway

    Well, that wasn't the most helpful or encouraging response, but Ridley had told the Voice both what he knew about the shadow pokemon and what he was worried about. He could only hope they'd learn more about the topic in future, ideally before anyone died or turned into a monster. "They do hate...

    Sojaveña Wilds Dusty Highway

    Ridley didn't know how often heroes were summoned to this world, but if the Voice was saying they'd never witnessed the arrival of one... they were potentially very young. He said, "After the shadow charmeleon, you said you were worried that touching it might have damaged or infected you in...
