The Dragon's Den (Gym Leader Clair TF)

It was the middle of the day in the local mall and Craig was coursing through the bustling sea of people, his head bowed as he stared down at his smart phone. Ever since he’d gotten Pokémon Red along with a Gameboy for Christmas in ‘96, the 28 year old had remained an avid lover of the franchise even though he’d stopped playing the games after Emerald. However, Pokémon Go’s release a couple years ago had reignited his passion and he instantly downloaded it the second it came out in the West. Although some fans considered the game to no longer be good, Craig was one of the few who still enjoyed it, appreciating the slight bit of exercise it gave him… and at least it gave him an excuse to go outside. As he continued to aimlessly walk around the mall in his search for Pokémon, Craig came to halt when something sparkled on the floor just in the corner of his vision. Abruptly coming to a standstill before drawing his eyes away from his phone, Craig peered down to see what it was… and was...

Bloom of An Arcade Star (Dahlia TG/TF)

Sinnoh’s Battle Frontier had seen better times: It had once been the premier site of high-ranked competitive Pokémon battling in the region, surpassing even the Elite Four and the previous Champion in prestige, something that only increased with the previous champion’s crude, foul-mouthed personality. But that all changed when Cynthia arrived onto the scene: Her cunning prowess, charming personality and undeniable beauty had made her an instant celebrity overnight and a global superstar within two weeks, with her constantly touring the world to participate in tournaments; effortlessly winning each and every one. Desperate to get the respect and attention that had been abruptly taken from them, the Sinnoh Frontier Brains challenged the freshly crowned Champion to a consecutive 1v4 battle; their rather humiliating defeats at her hand only serving to build up the hype of the “invincible” Cynthia. However, the remaining Frontier fans would always counter this claim with the fact that Pa...
