Pokémon Fanfic of the Month
Here's the list of Pokémon Fanfics of the Month. They're the best Pokémon stories I've come across on the web.
|
January 2008 The New Recruit by RocketVeteran at fanfiction.net. Short, but chilling. |
|
November 2007 A Mary Sue Alphabet by Irony-chan at fanfiction.net. A poetic tribute to Mary Sues. A Harry Potter category fic, but a lot of the sentiments apply to Pokémon fan fiction as well. |
|
September 2007 Dark Prophecy by Marlex at fanfiction.net. "An ancient prophecy tells of a time when a forgotten evil will return to the world. Little do Ash and Misty know that they are about to drawn into a web of terror and deceit. Who can they trust when the world is coming to an end?" (Mature readers only.) |
|
August 2007 Scyther's Story by Dragonfree at fanfiction.net. An interesting interpretation of Scyther society told through the life of one of their number. Original and thought-provoking (Dragonfree's fics usually are). Unsuitable for younger readers. |
|
July 2007 The Ballad of Captain Clefairy by Shuko at Bulbagarden Forums. A fun piece of creative writing. |
|
January 2007 Confrontation by Shagti2 at The Pokemon Tower. I've hesitated promoting this story because I don't think it will have wide appeal and because some of the author's other stories are poor or perverted. However, I personally found this short story engrossing and moving. See what you think. |
|
December 2006 A Pokemon Alphabet for Little Trainers by Pink Parka Girl The Elements by Keleri Two poems from fanfiction.net. Enjoy. |
|
November 2006 Sway With Me by Ash Junior and Calendar by Anonymous at The Pokemon Tower. Two romances nominated for last month's Best In Category Award. |
|
September 2006 A Fourney Jic by Clare at The Pokemon Tower. Life of a Character by Dragonfree at fanfiction.net. Two well-written parodies of not-so-well-written fan fiction, by different authors. A good laugh and some good lessons for would-be authors to take to heart. |
|
August 2006 Afraid to Fly by Emerald Milotic So Alone by MistyLover87 at fanfiction.net. A sad poem and a classic tragedy, both well told. Bring your tissue box. |
|
July 2006 Mew Chains by Dragonfree, at fanfiction.net. Two short stories this month by the same author, one about Mew, the other about Mewtwo. Unsuitable for younger readers. |
|
March 2006 A True Master by G-Force, at Pokemon Fanfiction Critic. An old story at an abandoned web site, but still worth a read. Not quite your usual fanfic, but all the better for it. Unsuitable for younger readers. |
|
February 2006 Two short stories by the same author... A Meal Fit for a Master. A nicely written and unusual short story. Read it the first time to get the punch. Read it the second time to realize what all the nuances were. (It might upset very young readers.) Pikachu A wonderful rendition of Abba's song, Waterloo, retold from Team Rocket's point of view. By Agent 99, at The Pokemon Tower. |
|
January 2006 The Myth of Shadowrun by Mystic Vaporeon, at fanfiction.net. A sequel to last month's Legends of the Tide with an even better plot and a remarkable ending. |
|
December 2005 Legends of the Tide by Mystic Vaporeon, at fanfiction.net. An imaginitive novelette-length Pokemon fanfic from the early days of Pokémon fan fiction. In the days before most of us knew how to write good Poké-fics, this was a great pioneering work and is still fun to read. |
|
November 2005 Wind of Dreams by Rayinte, formerly at The Pokemon Library. This story starts off as a "new trainer" fic. Now before you say you've read a gazillion "Trainer gets Pokémon from Professor Tree and goes on a catching spree and gym rampage" fics, let me tell you you'll be pleased with this very original story. It will keep you in suspense till the very end. |
|
October 2005 Fate's Game by E_Evee, at The Pokemon Tower. The original blurb says it all: The Pokemon world has gone through some changes. In the stillness a new breed of Pokemon and trainer has emerged. The tale of an eevee hybrid trying to make sense of her world. While this story has some imperfections, it's full of excitement, mystery and intrigue. |
|
September 2005 The Decision by The Jolt Master, at The Pokemon Tower. A very different short story by the Pokemon Tower webmaster himself. |
|
August 2005 The Mirror World Menace by Andrew, at The Pokemon Tower. A story about a parallel Pokémon world where things are somewhat different and how it comes into contact with the one we know and love. |
|
July 2005 One by Dragoness, at fanfiction.net. A sequel to Making My Way, last month's fanfic of the month, completing the trilogy. Well, it's a kind-of sequel, an alternative ending to the last chapter of the previous story. Mature readers only—I wouldn't recommend this for anyone under 16. |
|
June 2005 Making My Way by Dragoness, at fanfiction.net. An amazing sequel to Everything Changes, last month's fanfic of the month. The ending is unusual, but she pulled it off remarkably well. |
|
May 2005 Everything Changes by Dragoness, at fanfiction.net. An exciting and well-written story with a surprise ending. The story used the idea that Giovanni was Ash's father. That's not so popular anymore, but if you take into consideration that the story was written several years ago, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this author's style and ingenuity. |
|
April 2005 Twisted Hierarchy by Obsidian Blade, at fanfiction.net. A short but compelling story by one of The Pokemon Tower's eminent authors. I can't say much without spoiling it, so just click, read and enjoy. Unsuitable for younger readers due to some violence and serious themes. Note: this story is also a new fanfic on this site. |
|
March 2005 The New Trainer! by Ace Sanchez, at Ace's Index. A fan fiction parody by an early and influential Pokémon fanfic author. This story is a send-up of many early attempts at writing new trainer fics. Unsuitable for very young readers due to the nature of some of the humour. If you never read some of those early fics, you may miss some of this fic's allusions and subtleties, but... count yourself lucky! |
|
February 2005 A Soul Shared by X-Parrot, at The Pokemon Tower. A very sensitive story about all the regular characters, but set in the future. Superbly Rocketshippy and Pokéshippy. No spoilers here folks, but it had me in tears by the end. |
|
January 2005 Emerald: A New World by JLB, at Pokemon World. Perhaps not as polished as some of the other fanfics of the month, but one amazing plot, and plenty of excitement along the way. There is some violence, so it's unsuitable for younger readers. |
|
December 2004 The Watcher by Fossil Magikarp, formerly at The Pokemon Library I've started noticing another genre of Pokémon fan fiction, the Pokémon horror story. This month's story is a good example of its class and a compelling read. Definitely unsuitable for very young readers. |
|
November 2004 Enter the Dark Mew by Diamond Eevie, at The Pokemon Tower. An entertaining story about Gary Oak who meets his match in a new villain who is apparently associated with a mischievous Mew. Great characterisation, nice humour and a touch of romance. (Perhaps not suitable for very young readers due to the nature of some of the humour.) |
|
October 2004 Kindness and Cruelty by an unknown author. A serious but compelling story about the origins of Mewtwo. (This story is unsuitable for younger readers due to some violence.) |
|
September 2004 The TRUE Role Reversal by Ace Sanchez, at Ace's Index. After a year's worth of serious fanfics of the month, here's a comical short story in which Pokémon and people switch roles. Good for a laugh, with a cute twist at the end. |
|
August 2004 Badgequest: Hidden Machine Saga by Cyberwraith9, at fanfiction.net. One of Cyberwraith9's masterpieces, this story is about how Ash-tachi are on a quest to find all the HMs. Sounds boring? Well, tell you what! With threads, plots and characters intertwined leading to a climax that will have you on the edge of your seat, this story is a must-read! |
|
July 2004 Brothers, Rebel by Lizzie Thompson, at Pokepersonalities. Another interpretation to Pokémon battles. A short but thought-provoking story. |
|
June 2004 Dreamer by McWizardX, at fanfiction.net. Perhaps not as polished as some of the other fanfics of the month, but no less exciting. An innovative storyline that includes many flashbacks, often of the same scene from various points of view, that slowly let you piece the plot together. I won't say more so I don't give away any spoilers. (Unsuitable for younger readers.) |
|
May 2004 Light of a Dark Black Night by Morbane, at fanfiction.net. What does a Pokemon feel when it's been abandoned by its trainer? A sensitive and exciting journey of personal growth told from a Pokemon's point of view. Added note: this story is now a fanfic on this site. |
|
April 2004 A Cleffa's Tale by Lonepichu, at The Pokemon Tower. A story that reads like a lovely folk tale with likeable characters, plenty of pathos, and a fine ending. Perhaps not as polished as earlier fanfics of the month, but definitely worth a read. |
|
March 2004 Dreaming by Mirei, at The Pokemon Tower. This poignant story, unusual in that it's set in the real world, really deserves to be read. Added note: this story is now a fanfic on this site. |
|
February 2004 Two of a Kind by Eji, at Brock-o-rama. A fanfic with Brock as the main character. At last Brock finds a girl who likes him. Everything seems perfect. What could go wrong? |
|
January 2004 Shrike by Dash. A story about a lanky, inexperienced youth that, with the help of a Pokémon, finds courage, faces responsibility, and... I'm not telling how it ends. Well worth your while to go and read. (There is some prose that would be difficult for younger readers to follow as well as some violent scenes.) |
|
December 2003 Me and My Flame by Wynnyelle, at Charizard Valley. This full length novel is unquestionably the best Pokémon fanfic I've ever read, and one of my favourite works of fiction even over works by professional authors. It was also an early and controversial story which broke new ground. The theme is, what would the world be like if Pokémon were real. They're born, hunt to live, mate to reproduce, and die. My only criticism is that there is too much swearing. There's plenty more I can say but I don't want to give away any spoilers, so follow the link and enjoy the story. (Note: there is occasional violence, swearing and adult themes. Strictly mature readers only for this fic. If you're under 16, sorry, but this is fic not for you.) This story is also available at fanfiction.net. The way Wynn's done her links prevent the story from being archived. I'm putting links to each chapter here in the hope that maybe web.archive.org will eventually find them and save them. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 |
|
November 2003 The Distance from Yesterday by Fish, at The Pokemon Tower. Set in a alternate universe in which Pokémon battles are banned, Ash and Gary are the best of friends, and other characters have made different decisions that have altered the course of their lives, this well-written story is packed with action and excitement, tragedy and tears, romance and a few quips along the way. (Occasional violence and swearing—unsuitable for younger readers.) |
|
October 2003 Against All Odds by Matt Morwell, at fanfiction.net. A great, well-written story with some profound themes. It's difficult to describe without giving too much away, so I'll just simply say that it's the best story I've read so far at fanfiction.net, and I can highly recommend it. (It's probably too difficult for very young readers to appreciate. There's also occasional violence.) Added note: this story is now a fanfic on this site. |
|
September 2003 The Long Road to Glory by Oddish, at The Oddish Grove. A new trainer fic about a spunky, lovable kid called Nicky Hart. There's plenty of originality, fun and excitement. Added note: Book 2 is now complete. |
