• 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?

    Leaf twitched for a second at the name "Blue". Just a name, just a coincidence, that's all. Ignore it. (If Latios was Blue then that meant Latias was— nope, just gonna put the brakes on right there. Didn't matter. Not them. Not even not-them the way Mew was not-him. Just totally unrelated...

    Leaf let the tension fall out of her shoulders a little now that the spritzee was gone. ("Scary zoroark", huh... pity Bellatrix couldn't've just scared her off outright.) Yeah, technically they did have to tow the crashed clown car back to the local cops, but there had to be something they could...

    [I... I guess? If it'd actually be safe for everyone to get in and out while that thing is stomping around...] Leaf supposed it was manageable enough; they really only needed this for one run through the Barrens to stop Alexander and Cipher, not regular sightseeing trips. Boy it sure would suck...

    "I think," Leaf said, making precious little effort to hide her annoyance and negative effort to hide the badge pinned to her poncho, "you should let the actual Rangers worry about what is and isn't in their jurisdiction. You don't get to decide what happens to them either. Doesn't matter...

    Seriously? A... Duel Dome recruiter, just happening to wander by. And wanting to recruit a bunch of shadow-creating kidnappers. Had Novelux advanced far enough to invent hidden camera television? It felt like this was hidden camera television. Way to kill the mood of a job well done. "Mr...

    Novelux Realgar Springs

    The clearing went dark for a second as the kicks slammed into her, dark and mercifully quiet, no obnoxious phantom rhythm, not even really any space to parse the horrified gasp in the back of her mind. Then it was daytime again, and it felt like she'd been run over by a chorus line, and for a...

    Leaf didn't bother staying to watch the seviper collapse into a pile of wet noodles. She galloped down the slope, let the rhythm momentum carry her straight into the electabuzz, trampled straight over him, determined to make sure he wouldn't screw this up. And then finally, finally, she pushed...

    "No, Koa—" Dammit. She could've been there, should've just ignored this loser, should've just forced her way over and taken him down and been done with it before he could— So we'll finish him off. But this goddamn seviper was still whining at her. Still ruining everything. Leaf rounded on...

    So the thing out there trying to turn them into popsicles was some kind of legendary, and now the thing that had helped them was also a legendary? A latios, even? Sure, why not, just another Plainsday. "Thanks," she said again, too rattled by their narrow escape to bother not staring. She half...

    There he was! With the zangoose finally sprawled on the rocks, maybe dreaming about where she could spend her Monopoly money, Leaf just had to get over there—all the way over there, gah, why did five people even need a camp this big—and help Koa deal with the disco duck. So what? She'd...

    Leaf wanted to follow Miror B. wherever he'd disappeared to, keep harrying him, crack that infuriating smugness, but the zangoose had finally wised up and was getting in her face. The slash sent her reeling, but she spat the taste of iron out of her mouth and grinned anyway. "Oh, look, it's ol'...

    "'M fine." She managed something like a smile through the panting. "You?" Leaf looked around, still confused about the space they'd found themselves in. Dungeon stuff, yeah, yeah, et cetera, but. Was it actually warmer in here, or was it just that they were out of the wind? Had there really...

    Huh. "Minor B." didn't get a rise out of him? Leaf had thought that was pretty good. She was almost impressed, except that probably he was less actually focused on the task at hand and more just extra full of himself. (Blue probably could've gotten to him. Maybe she just wasn't shouty enough...

    It'd worked. It shouldn't have worked, some terrifying criminal organization should not have lieutenants that were as gullible as that pack of jabbery little impidimp, but here they were. Leaf couldn't enjoy/roll her eyes at the sight of the zangoose greedily scrabbling at fake money for long...

    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...

    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,"...

    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...

    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...

    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...
