    Is there any good pokemon stories aside from the ones in the library?? I've been trying to find some but, well didn't have much luck.

    Well, no. Why would good stories that we know about not be in the library? :p

    That aside, there are a few bits and pieces in the pokewriters group, like most of the first chapter of a story I've written. Perhaps if you asked nicely and promised to give a lot of constructive feedback in return Zeitgeist would let you in...? Could be worth a try.

    Had hope that there was some tiny, forgotten, good story out there, meh:rolleyes:... I know I should know better by now.

    Well I'll certainly try my luck. I've actually been thinking of writing a Pokemon story myself but keep over-thinking everything. So it would also be good to have couple of people that know what they are doing to bounce ideas with.

    I like the following

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5383561/1/All_We_Know_Is_Falling

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1563578/1/Watch_Your_Back

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5859927/1/The_Sound_of_Falling_Rain

    I haven't read the previous 3 in a while but they're adventure/romance mostly. They're also all complete.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4230320/1/Journey_of_a_Thousand_James fun crackfic, James centric, very fun read. WIP, unfrequently updated.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4390479/1/No_Antidote this story is sad. complete.

    The entire series of naruto/pokemon crossovers by http://www.fanfiction.net/u/320103/Quill_of_Molliemon are fantastic! It's a naruto centric xover though, so whatever. But if this interests you even a tiny little bit I 100% recommend! WIP (many fics) frequently updated.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7599030/1/Transgression is a non-libary'd Crukix fic as is http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6927166/1/Plague

    When I saw that, my mind immediately went to a rather NSFW doujinshi where he does indeed keep her company.

    Ah yeah, that's one of the more retarded moments. I did say I didn't have a high bar for Pokemon fics, yeah? Guess the author wanted to super-affirm Ash's status as a lightning-type trainer or something. The first few chapters are pretty meh and rushed, but it gets pretty okay when he starts battling in the tournament, iirc.

    A lot of the fics I linked are of below average writing quality, yet still somewhat readable, as long as you set the bar low and enjoy the Pokemon fandom. There are no true masterpieces there.

    Well, Power and Friendship is, iirc, the longest, best written and has most depth out of those.

    I couldn't get past the first chapter of Dragon Lord. Apparently two dratinis weren't awesome enough for the author, so he had to make them shiny and bigger than normal. (though what had I expected anyway..)

    These are three that I like:

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3378344/1/Trainers_Legacy - This is an oldie and very much dead but there's enough here to enjoy a few hours reading. Basically follows an OC who Oak hires to collect pokedex data.

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6772018/1/Unwanted_Dream - This is one of those 'grimdark' pokemon fics. An OC drug addict is forced to decide between going to jail and becoming a trainer (and therefore cannon fodder for the various regions' disputes).

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2146127/1/Clouded_Sky - I haven't read this in a while. From what I remember, a new trainer ends up with a Murkrow which is superstitious badluck in the hidden region he comes from and gets embroiled in various plots because of it.

    I started reading Clouded Sky a while back. It isn't bad, but everything is OC, which could be a turn-off. I didn't finish reading it, but there wasn't a specific reason why, I just found I couldn't be bothered to finish it.


    I just started Unwanted Dream, and it is quite interesting. Again, it seems like the region is OC (or maybe just not a game-based one), but it isn't bad. The trainer being a punk, and therefore all made up, tons of piercings and tattoos is a bit daft, but the actual writing is better than the majority of Pokemon fics I've read.
    EDIT
    OK, so I finished what's written so far. The punk thing doesn't annoy me so much, because I guess it does have a purpose. And whilst the world is a bit more 'grimdark' than the games and stuff (Precious, for example), it doesn't become what you often see - all fights are to the death, everybody kills each other, and all that malarky.
    However, the politics side of the story could mean I stop reading in future. I don't read pokemon fics for government level dealings, I want to read about a trainer and his journey, and politics can be tacked on if they don't become central. Still, I'd agree with the rec

    I too had tried the Unwanted Dream, but kept cringing whenever he mentioned his mascara running down.

    Pokemon fics? Those always suck.

    Do not want.

    Na, all the good ones get abandoned when they move on to SKyrim fics instead.

    Or remain as plot outlines upon plot outlines in the depths of our harddrives.

    At the risk of being obvious, does that mean Game of Champion will never be complete ?
