• 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?

    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...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    Several things happened at once: Marisa and Jade's (?) team snapped to attention; Tank spun, confused, took a few steps toward the dance game, then broke into a run; the older kid swore loudly; the zubat, startled by the sudden noise, dove teeth-first into the dance pad; and Cleffa cheered as...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    The dimness inside the Game Corner was cut by the neon flash of ticket vendor signs and the enticing glow of arcade cabinets. Only some of which appeared to actually work, on second glance. Two kids and a geodude smacked the buttons on a resolutely dark-screened machine a few more times before...

    Whispers of Leaf and Jade

    The crowd's chatter remained nebulous; the sounds of excitement from inside were still muffled by the glass doors. But then there was something else, sharper and coming from nowhere and everywhere at once. There was no one nearby. No one standing around having a heated argument in public, at...

    Threadmarks: [Ch06] Someone Has to Try

    Jade's ears were filled with whistling and sighing she could barely understand, and then they were filled with calls and chattering she could barely understand. Nothing... sinister, though? No ominous messages or wordless whispers from the wind singing through a warped dungeon. Only the myriad...

    Novelux Whisperwind Comb Mystery Dungeon

    Leaf had just about managed to stomp down the urge to pay attention to the constant whispering—it was all either some language Beetle somehow couldn't translate or just nonsense, so no point fussing over it, right?—but Laura's hiss set her ears going against her better judgment. "'Listen'?" she...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    ...huh. Did Kotetsu know this? Did his lord know this? (Did it matter? Most likely it shouldn't've mattered. Strength was strength, wherever it came from; a legendary was a legendary, or saint, or whatever. Heckuva weird coincidence if it was true, though...) Anyway. Absolutely bizarre to see...

    And then they were in the water, and for a second Leaf had no idea what even was going on. Didn't matter. Leona was laughing, like for real with no reverb at all, and so she could laugh, too. She stood up, stomped in the water a few more times to splash and cool off a bit of the heat from...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    Leaf snapped back to attention. "Wait, wait, wait. The Saint of Victory? Like Victini?" Okay, hadn't expected to hear that one today. "What do you know about Victini? Are you saying he became a saint even though he... he wasn't even from here? That's a thing?"

    The stone caught Leaf in the flank and she flinched, staggered, lost a little ground—but it wasn't that bad. Not like last time, no searing, crushing pain, nothing trying to claw its way into her head. Just a little rock. Just a race. A good one. "That all you got?" she laughed. Seeing Leona...

    Sojaveña Wilds Silver Ravine Mystery Dungeon

    So there was a relic, and he knew about it... okay, that was good, probably. Not actually a mystery, unlike all of the whatever the hell else was going on around here. "So... when there is someone who thinks they have a shot at being the Stormbringer, are you gonna test them, too?" She paused...

    Leaf couldn't resist jumping off the end of the slope Sinopa'd shaped for them. Not that it was that steep or anything, but c'mon, she was a rapidash, she didn't need that if she wanted to catch some air. Just a little bit of flying, as a treat, y'know? Then they were thundering out of the...

    Huh, look at that. Leona was smiling; the shadow reverb in her voice was faltering. That was new. That was good. "Hmmm. I dunno. I guess I could, if you're really suuuuuure..." Leaf glanced over her shoulder like she needed to double-check the distance, tone mock-wavering, tail swishing...

    Leaf smiled wistfully as Leona went through her list. "Sounds like some of the stuff that helps Minerva, sometimes." And Mewtwo, not that they'd admit it. She hadn't been up to the lookout much, on account of, y'know, normally it was just a ladder, and other Rangers were usually quicker to...
