Matt jogged his way back to the camp, avoiding the last salvo from Lodestar's defenders as he ran. The last beats of the day's battle hadn't gone well for Xuan Ba's forces, its remnants limping back onto the high ground. It was humbling, really - just a few minutes ago, his army had seemed...

"Hey! Jin, Matt! Just because that's 'friendly' fire doesn't make it hurt any less! Be more careful next time!" Even as far as he was from the explosion, Amber's voice seemed distant and tinny, as Matt's ears were ringing a little bit from its aftermath. In hindsight, he and Jin may have...

"The soldiers who fell appear to have Dust crystals. I will attempt to loot these crystals and embed them with the walls. Matt should then use his earth-manipulating semblance to detonate the Dust, which will expand the breach further and potentially kill many defenders." Matt was briefly...

His ears still ringing from the Faunus brigades' enthusiastic reaction to Xuan Ba's rousing speech, it took Matt a moment to register that Claire was trying to address him over the ruckus. "Okay Mr. Leader, you're our rock-smashy guy, right? How do you think we should try to get past those...

"Awwww, look! You're a mouse Faunus! That's cute." Matt jumped at the sudden sound of Amber appearing behind him, her hands reaching out to touch his new ears. "Can I feel 'em?" He gaped for a moment, a little lost for words. This was all very sudden and confusing - not a minute ago he was...

"Now, Hunters must always be aware of their surroundings, my little scholars. Tell me - what do you see?" Matt took a good look at this immediate surroundings - perched atop a large ridge overlooking what appeared to be a small military installation. Around him were Faunus soldiers of all...

"In international news - the string of natural disasters in recent months continues, with a small-scale earthquake hitting Sinnoh's Oreburgh City. While no casualties were reported, the quake caused significant property damage and shut down the city's mine for three days before local gym leader...

"Could this school just chill out for two seconds before something crazy happens again?" Michelle sighed as team RFUS made their ignoble departure back to their own dorm rooms. "I was hoping people would put petty things like this behind them, if they were going to study here. The Grimm don't...

As Amber struggled against his grapple, Matt stood firm, tightening his grip as she tried to slip free. He had to be careful - while Aura made a person more resilient, he doubted Amber's arms or body would fare well if he gripped as tightly as he could. Eventually, after she struggled for a...

"We're fine Matt! I don't think our stuff is though..." Matt released a held breath, relief evident. Things could be replaced; people couldn't. "Okay, good." He leaped down to the ground floor, landing with a dull thud near a small pile of debris. "We should get started. The sooner we clear this...

If that's your argument, it doesn't really hold water. The dollar is a fiat currency, meaning central banks can conjure money whenever they want to by simply having the Feds print more. That's more or less what happens when players go out and earn gold by killing monsters or completing quests...

"I'd like that. And maybe, y'know, we could talk about... Stuff and things, over lunch or something. Not that we aren't already doing that now. He chuckles to himself - it was good to know he wasn't the only one completely lost about how these things were supposed to go. "Yea, I'd like that...

"Right... Your Semblance lets you control and sort of extend yourself into stone and earth, doesn't it? The way you made that pillar out of the stone floor yesterday, and what I think you might've done with the floor here would make that the most likely explanation for it. Makes sense that you...

"Woohoo let's go! There's adventure to be had!" Loosing a mighty bark, Kelvin bounded forward at her words, moving with shocking speed for his enormous frame. Ethan may not have a Pokemon capable of flight, but when one of your best friends is larger than an Ursaring and faster than a...
