• 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?

    Of course this was going to be a fight. Of course. Ridley had tagged along on this venture mostly because he wanted to know what a shadow pokemon with all their faculties intact looked like. If the Wayfarers were going to be utilising shadow power themselves in the future, then anything they...

    "I think we're still at the stage of trying to figure out why we're here in the first place," Ridley said flatly. It was a little discouraging to hear that no-one else here seemed to have any more solid answers than he did.

    Huh. Ridley had known Laura was Galarian - her Chirchester accent made it obvious enough - but he hadn't realised her world had a parallel Eternatus incident to his own. Maybe he'd ask her about it the next time he ran into her. Ridley shrugged. "If I lose my memories when I go back, then the...

    Passing through the town centre, Ridley was drawn to the small gathering mostly because of who it contained. Leaf, Koa, Mhynt; three of the Wayfarers Nova had mentioned meeting the board owner and receiving pokeballs. Ridley was still curious about that; maybe he could catch up with them after...

    Ridley noted that Nova hadn't answered the question of what the board owner knew about RKS chimeras. Maybe he didn't know, or maybe he was just so desperate for an escape from the helmet that any possibility seemed worthwhile. Also: within Eternatus? "My world has an Eternatus too," Ridley...

    "Well, sure," Ridley said doubtfully. "It's always useful to have a second opinion, though. I'm pretty sure making friends is more about establishing common ground and finding people you can rely on than anything else. How much experience does your board owner guy have with RKS chimeras?" He...

    Well, that was... a lot. "That sounds like it sucks," Ridley said. Which didn't even begin to adequately describe the situation, but what was Ridley supposed to say here? Wow, it's awful that you got enslaved and used as a weapon, your universe is really fucked-up. "Shit, I'm sorry, that sounds...

    Now that Nova mentioned it, the name Gladion was just barely familiar enough to Ridley that he wondered whether he'd come across it before in his research. He couldn't quite place it, though. He'd give a lot to have his rotomphone in this world, or even just access to a decent cross-dimensional...

    "Do you know if Gladion's been having problems with his?" Ridley asked, curious. Information about RKS chimeras wasn't easy to find, and despite his interest in cryptids Ridley didn't know as much about the topic as he would have liked. As far as he knew, in his world the helmets were intended...

    Ridley nodded, committing the names to memory. He'd probably meet up with Koa again if they tried training together with Steven, but he'd ask the others about it if he ran into them. Friendship training? Okay, sure, Ridley had heard weirder. He said, "Speaking of the mask, what's the deal with...

    "Ah, that's a point," Ridley agreed. "I guess it comes down to whether we think whatever ulterior motives the owner has are a greater or lesser risk than potentially getting caught nonconsensually by a group like the Coven." He wasn't sure how much damage a pokeball could do if he only used it...

    "Huh," Ridley said. That was... weird to think about, actually. At this point he'd long adjusted to the idea that the pokemon around him were people, and even if he still occasionally struggled to tell the difference between people and feral pokemon on sight he was comfortable enough with erring...

    "Hmm," Ridley said thoughtfully. Their true nature? As an offworlder, or something else? He picked up the ball and rolled it between his hands. "You can self-release, right? When you're inside, how aware are you of the outside world?" The ball looked as though it would open and close easily...

    "Whoa," Ridley said, impressed. "So you've got a source to obtain more of them, then?" The "luxury ball" was obviously handmade, which made sense given the world, but the colours and patterns were a close facsimile of the ones Ridley was familiar with from his own world. So not just a source...

    "Not really," Ridley said, although come to think of it he probably should. He was still making his money day-to-day by doing odd jobs and running errands, and the bulletin board would be an excellent source of those. That was a consideration for later, though; right now he wanted answers more...

    Nova was as easy to spot from a distance as his general location had been to discover. It occurred to Ridley to wonder whether he ever felt self-conscious about that. Probably, he guessed; he hadn't spoken to Nova directly before, but from what he'd said during the team meeting, the guy didn't...

    Threadmarks: Ch03 - Uncomfortable Questions Hour

    Ambulatory scientific experiments stuck out somewhat in the world of Forlas, which made Nova a very easy person to track down. When Ridley asked around, he almost immediately learnt that an RKS chimera - a "graydian", as they were apparently known here - was regularly seen in the settlement...

    "Betel said that probably not all of the shadow pokemon are light-averse the way the drapion is," Ridley said automatically, and then instantly winced again at his own stupidity. Fuck! Sure, Ridley, tell the guy who got mangled to shit that his sense of safety is an illusion and danger could...

    Ridley nodded as Steven spoke. It surprised him to hear Steven say he didn't enjoy battling as much as his peers, given his obvious experience and enthusiasm for the topic, but maybe it was a regional thing. The Galar League's many restrictions and requirement for sponsorship made it almost...

    "I know it takes time to learn this sort of thing," Ridley said. Even if he didn't pay much attention to competitive battling, he knew that there were people - and Steven was obviously one of them - who dedicated their whole lives to improving their ability as pokemon trainers. He wasn't...
