• 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?

    Malantau Wight Barrens

    Leaf threw herself forward as soon as she felt Jade jump on, felt ice shrapnel scatter against her back as the attack crashed to earth right behind them. There were blurs of color cutting through the mist and then there was a crevice and then there was no more time to think about it, they had to...

    Malantau Wight Barrens

    Welp. Probably shoulda seen that one coming. They were seeing it coming right now, literally even, right there like only five seconds away from impact. Dammit. She wanted to stop, stand her ground, but Laura was saying go and— dammit— "If anyone doesn't think they can run then get on now,"...

    Malantau Wight Barrens

    Leaf had tried to compare what she'd seen of the map with the terrain around the peak looming ahead of them. She wasn't bad with maps, in theory, it was part of what you were supposed to learn if you were planning on journeying, but that wasn't much help when the map was so old a whole...

    Novelux Realgar Springs

    Bellatrix had been confident Team Miror would be sleeping in, which sounded about right for these clowns, but Leaf still had her ears on a swivel. She still wasn't over how they'd been tailed before. Somehow. By these guys. They were idiots, but they were persistent idiots. Or lucky ones, at the...

    Malantau Wight Barrens

    There was winter cold, and there was Mt. Silver cold, and then there was whatever this was. Winter was fine, great even, Leaf loved the snow, no notes really. Mt. Silver was basically just winter until you hit the heights for real, and then yeah, sure, that was kinda intense, she didn't get why...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Finally, finally it was listening to her—to Jade? To sense, at least. She was still moving downward now, but carried, controlled, no more sensation of endless falling. No more sense of helplessness, usefulness, now there was something to do. "You should give her more credit," she said coldly...

    Novelux Whisperwind Comb Mystery Dungeon

    "Hey! Hey, I think someone's over here— ha!" The sound of hoofbeats clattering against the stone rose, then settled again as Leaf slowed to a stop, past a weathered camping tent and the smoldering remains of a campfire that had grown out of some formerly-bare rock to the side. Weird , but...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    No point? Already decided? What did that even— what was going on— rrrgh. Whatever this was was complicated, and complicated was something she really didn't have time for right now. But... but she couldn't just leave it, not if it was Team Rocket, it would've been wrong to just... "I'm not...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    "Mewtwo's doing what?" Even falling-floating for so long like this, Leaf felt her heart drop out of her chest. In the middle of Viridian City, in the middle of the day, so many people, so much smoke from the buildings— she could've sworn Mewtwo was trying to be reasonable about this— —no, no...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Whoa. Okay. That was... what was that? Big, definitely. The size of the thing, the way the light shone off its feathers like silver... a lugia? For real? (Well, for whatever-the-hell-this-was.) For a moment Leaf was dumbstruck, not quite able to process much more than the majesty and sheer power...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    She knew these pokémon. Not personally (?), but she'd heard about them, somewhere. She was certain of that much. But where...? And why were they like this? What even was the point of the dungeon showing her the, the... the aftermath of... something? Some kind of fight? Was that what was going on...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    That wasn't Minerva. It wasn't flying, either. A charizard? Was that— Charizard? she thought for one horrifying moment, why was he here, what happened to him, where was Blue, but— no, not Charizard, just a charizard, a charizard named Firestorm. How did she know that? (Where had she heard that...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Leaf paused. Had someone just called out for her? She wanted to insist that they hadn't, that it was just more dungeon crap, she had to take this seriously and stay focused, but it'd sounded so much like... "Hey, I'm over—" Then the ground stopped existing and the rushing air tore the rest of...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    The aerodactyl hesitated. It looked at Jade—no, past her this time, down the hallway that went on forever. Behind itself, back at the holding and reconditioning room one more time. Then back at her. You, came the meaning under the hiss. Go first. It waited, still watching, for Jade and the team...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Leaf's pokémon looked up at Jade, tense, uncertain, but they held steady; Rajah let the little blades of grass energy she'd been charging up flutter to the ground and scatter. The aerodactyl moved. Slowly. It squeezed itself all the way out into the hall, head still snapping back and forth...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Tank fired a blast of water at the aerodactyl's legs, the only spot he could get an angle at. It shrieked and dropped him to the floor, leaving him spinning on his shell; it lunged, tried to grab him again, but Rajah's vines held it back, just barely... Then they were gone, and then they were...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Another card was in fact sitting among the effects on the table, and it had the right clearance to access the keypad. Theoretically it should've been possible to open the cages one by one, but there probably wasn't time to peck through the interface and decipher which was which; no telling when...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Cages. The room's walls were lined with cages, and the cages were full of pokémon. (Holding.) A scant few were battering or blasting at their restraint—no use, they were all warded from the inside or something, nothing seemed to reach far outside the bars—but most were pressed pitifully against...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Something shifted, went hazy and slow and then snapped, as if the world had been suddenly reminded of what it was supposed to be. Jade was in a long hallway. Too long, maybe; it extended so far in either direction that both ends faded into darkness. Marisa and Cleffa were gone, presumably to...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    "Rockets? Wait, what—here?" Marisa held Cleffa close in spite of the latter's continued protests. All the playful teasing drained from her face. "We should go, we should go tell someone, or just..." (The guy had said something back on the bridge, of course. (Of course... not?) "We've got all...
