• 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?

    Leona pulled away from her task – tinkering with some kind of water pump, by the look of it – and turned her attention to Gladion. "Yeah, I got a minute," she replied, in a flat affect. "Mm. Hi, Gladion." That was all. It wasn't like despair was dripping from her mouth or anything, she just...

    Leona smiled faintly. As the wind tousled her hair, it seemed for a moment as if there ought to be someone at her side... "Heh... I suppose I can shoot the breeze a while longer," she relented. "There's this one thing that comes to mind, I guess – the shadow boss of Cipher had a pair of sons...

    "Heh... I sure did." Leona shifted to look sidelong at Leaf, leaning casually on one forelimb. Since her recovery from Shadowfication, she wasn't just less jittery, she was practically mellow. Confident, relaxed, a little cocky. Just less performatively showy than Seth. "Mind you, we're pretty...

    Seth dramatically cracked his neck and knuckles. "You know it. Short of getting put through a wormhole back to my planet, I'll be there to put my boot up that guy's ass." He glanced at his un-shoed hindpaw. "Figure of speech. You know what I mean." Leona snorted – it was so strange to hear...

    Seth reclined in his sunny spot – a comfy beanbag on a pueblo's rooftop terrace – with his paws behind his head, and scoffed. "'Course. Heh, what do you take me for? After the drubbings we've been giving them this side of the void, and after this next one, I'll fuckin' clean house back...

    Still breathing hard from exertion, Leona nodded forcefully, eyes wide with adrenaline. "We're doing this," she barked We, not 'I'. Something she was used to saying as a trainer, maybe... The wolf didn't linger. She just stepped forward, through the opening door. Sinopa waited on the other...

    "Ye— yeah! I'll fuckin'— I'll fuckin' get you—!" Leona took another solid – super-effective – whack from the Rapidash's flank. Stumbled – recovered. Pushed harder— Leaf just about reached the silt-and-sand rivershore, when the Lycanroc barrelled fully into her, sending them both crashing into...

    Leona took the hit with a yelp, not expecting an attack mid-race. To her credit she rallied at once, tumbling back onto her feet and sprinting to close the distance – head down, tail back, paws pounding the dry earth. Her fur glowed as she surged forward in an attack— "—Gyaah!" Leona used...

    Leona actually laughed at Leaf's playful juke, and chased after her with intense, deeply competitive focus. This was a wolf who liked to win, after all – and damn but she was fast. She didn't even spare the breath to yell trash-talk! The pueblos parted to allow a shallow-sloping ramp up and out...

    For a few seconds there, Leona had been staring down at a fatal drop, and the escape it represented. But as Leaf talked – about the freedom of the open wild, letting loose for fun, the blowing wind and setting sun – Leona looked up. And she saw the joys she'd been searching for in Leaf's face...

    Leona's brow furrowed, her tail low and her paws leaden. "I... uh. It depended...? Some liked battles best, they opened up, rode the adrenaline. If they frenzied, I'd call out to them, snap 'em out of it, make them remember they had a name, that they weren't just fighters. Or we'd spend time...

    Leona nodded, and made a strangled noise in her throat. She kept her head low as she ascended the watchtower's stone pillar. "What if I never make it back?" she asked, in a small, haunted voice. "What if... What if I'm trapped?" Still trapped. On some level, psychologically, Leona never made...

    Leona grimaced, seemingly out of embarrassment. "Guess it feels... dumb. But so does feeling dumb about it. Augh." She spoke exactly like a young adult cringing at herself for having ever been a kid with hobbies and interests. She seemed... a little younger than Seth, maybe? No dragged out...

    "What's it to you?" snapped Leona. Then she whined sharply, instantly embarrassed. "Sorry. Old habits. Bad habits. It's, uh, you know, a novel? Fantasy adventure type stuff. Guess I'm a sap." She really did sound startlingly like Seth. They could be siblings, if you didn't know their true...

    Leona's hackles went up only for a moment, falling back down almost at once as she recognised a friendly voice. "Leaf," said the midday-Lycanroc, rising from the cushion and low desk she'd been hunched over. Reading something, apparently. She stood, turned, and nodded. A little stiff, but...

    "Only if they don't have Escape Orbs or something of that nature. Which they will. They aren't stupid..." The pueblos rumbled... "Salt and sand," swore Sinopa, releasing her hold on the reconfigurable dungeon. "Saw it coming, but..." Laura chewed her cheek, but she'd save her anger for...

    Laura's eyes widened and her head snapped round to look at Jade. Ralsen – her world's Ralsen, 'Sebastian' – had captured legendaries? Unwilling ones, that he hadn't won over to his cause? Her stomach tightened as her eyes refocused on the Grovyle. "You catch legendaries?" she asked, her words...

    Laura winced. Oh, Jade... That could only have been a betrayal, right? She could hear the outrage in the other girl's voice. Maybe she should comfort her, somehow? Was now even the time? Howls. She settled for taking a few soft steps closer to her friend, and shooting her a sympathetic look in...

    Something told Laura that this guy might be devious and untrustworthy, but that he was nonetheless truthful. Something about his even temper, his matter-of-fact explanations, the precision of his wording. Still, it would be better to have assurances. "We'll make more security arrangements," she...

    Laura squinted with mental effort as she tried to follow the conversation between the wild 'mon. It was close to the vocal components of advanced pokésign, she was sure she could catch a few stray words... Something about the tyranitar (Giant? Mighty?) not wanting to end a battle early? That...
