Chapter 176 – The Value of Regret
“Please, wait!” Solgaleo cried. “I spent a lot of time thinking about this!”
“No. I’m done with these tests,” Charizard growled, marching straight past regal marble statues and pillars with Necrozma’s insignia dotting every floor tile. Golden crystals of light...
Chapter 175 – Reflection
Charizard let Owen talk as much as he wanted. He babbled on about his friends and family, how none of it was real. Something about it felt so familiar to Charizard—he knew, for sure, that he would be able to help him. A lot of Owen’s struggles felt so familiar to him...
Chapter 174 – Overseer Evaluation
Ho-Oh was a lot bigger in person.
And imposing. Compared to Lugia, compared to any other Legend he’d met in Kilo, Ho-Oh radiated an aura of someone who… was far more than a Pokémon.
The metal sphere at the top of Citadark Isle was entirely hollow and...

Chapter 173 – Rhythm, Tempo, and the Heart
They’re closing in too fast! We’ve got wraiths on all sides!
What are we supposed to do about something immune to everything we throw at it?
Manny, do something!
What’m I supposed ter do?!
You’re the one who’s supposed to fix this! Hecto said so...
Chapter 172 – Memory and Light
Something about Orre’s arid desert appealed to Owen a lot more than it did to Zena. The two of them flew over the skies after they’d made their landing from before. By now, he and Zena had become accustomed to using phones and computers to contact others, and...
Chapter 171 – Lord of Nightmares
North Null Village was in pandemonium. From the distant horizon, dark meteors arced through the red skies and demolished entire buildings, shattering light crystals and leaving corrosive craters in their place. Civilians fled into a Dungeon portal meant for...
Chapter 170 – Accidental Connection
In less than a second, a bolt of black lightning zig-zagged across the sky and splashed onto the soil on Owen’s side of the bridge. Motes of white light drifted around where Tapu Koko landed, his intense eyes focused entirely on Owen. Electricity—its natural...
Chapter 169 – Spreading Darkness For Good
Umbreon wobbled around the conference table like he’d never walked a day in his paws. And… he hadn’t. This was a human. No, two humans! Humans who had been transformed by some force into a Pokémon the moment they’d come into Kilo.
Star didn’t know how...
Chapter 168 – Rally and Recover
Claws of Shadow and Radiance slammed into Owen’s ethereal shields.
The shockwaves left craters in the field. Sparks trailed through the dirt and singed the grass, darkening them with a strange blight or leaving them glowing with energy.
The flame of Hardscale’s...
Chapter 167 - Being a Hero
Anam took a seat at the base of Heart HQ’s stairs. His legs were tired from all the walking and his feet ached. He wanted to slide into a pool and fall asleep for a whole day. But a burning urge in his guts told him he had to keep the Village safe. Keep everyone safe...
Chapter 166 – Other Guardians
Dungeons were supposed to be a Kiloan problem. What was it doing in another reality?!
Owen was far more alarmed than any of the humans. When they caught his gaze, some of their worries mirrored his, but he and Zena were the only ones who understood the magnitude...
Chapter 165 – Leak
Owen had never felt such intense fire from a mortal in his life.
White-hot flames snapped wood in half, superheating the sap within and exploding the whole tree into splinters.
“Zena!” Owen called.
“I’m fine!” Zena popped out of the soil as a puddle of water. She aimed a...
Chapter 164 – Defying Destiny
Nearly at the top, now. Ten floors of Destiny Tower remained, and despite Diyem’s overpreparation, they had ended up going past floor after empty floor.
This seemed to make him even more anxious than before. Sometimes Amelia wondered if that was part of his...
Threadmarks: Chapter 163 - The Pressure of Independence
Chapter 163 – The Pressure of Independence
The panic in the village had been too much for Anam. Seeing what Diyem had done to Angelo… He didn’t know how to confront that, and the others took care of it anyway.
He’d run off, and he hoped the others noticed and would find him because he’d...
Chapter 162 – Spirits in the Marrow
Owen was able to tell his story to Amber over three days and two nights. The doctor visited every afternoon and every evening, only for Amber to stubbornly say that she would endure, even as her condition worsened and worsened until her episodes happened...
Chapter 161 – Time Has Passed
“This information,” Granbull Jin said, “was the synthesis of spirits from the one you call ‘Nate,’ and other observations we’ve been able to gather from spirit fragments. Augmented by your accounts, Mhynt, I think we have a much clearer picture of what happened...
Special Episode 12 – The Dark War
Sometimes, when nothing is left, all I can do is smile and cheer. That’s why I kept smiling, even as the world fell apart around me. Maybe that’s what made me so resistant to those Shadows. Maybe it was just survival.
Maybe I just didn’t want to admit defeat...
Chapter 160 – Time and Space Asunder
“ . . . And so, in the end, we have a tiny part of Dark Matter on our side, and we have to find the rest.” Mesprit nodded. “That’s… sort of the whole situation.”
“Hmm…” Granbull Jin paced in front of the conference room—a replica of the Heart HQ, but with...
Chapter 159 – Unwelcome Connections
They weren’t about to deal with some unknown number of strange, floating robes that, according to Mhynt, could take over their minds and parasitize their bodies. Instead, they retreated deeper into the caves as Mhynt pooled odd clouds of darkness in her...
Chapter 158 – Unexpected Return
The rhythmic beeping of life monitors was becoming uncomfortably familiar to Owen. He was a demigod, right? Why was he constantly being put in hospitals? Could they even help?
Well, the last one did, he supposed.
Groggily, he opened one eye to figure out his...
