* ''Synopsis'': Quoted right from his profile: "Enter the life of nearly 17-year old Robert Fierro. He is your typical high-school sophomore loser, troubled with bullies and insincere girlfriends, as well as a dysfunctional family. He just wants a break from his life, and when a girl he thought liked him puts him aside for someone she thinks has a better sense of "adventure" he asks for that too. But soon things for him take a startling turn. He suddenly finds himself with everything he had asked for... And it turns out that it isn't exactly what he had in mind. He quickly finds himself in an unfamiliar world and an even more awkward situation. Soon, he's on the run from a terrorist organization that he's supposed to be fighting, and finding himself in near-death situations every time he turns around. Going back to his old life no longer appears to be an option and he's not quite himself anymore either..."

* ''Synopsis'': Five years before the events of 'Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'', a prominent Admin of the Cipher syndicate, Eldes, was forced by Greevil to fake his own death in order to cease his involvement with the Purification Chamber's development and to strengthen his focus on Cipher. Six years later, Eldes is given an opportunity to revisit his old family and rekindle the bonds that were broken after his "death." But when their memories of him have been stripped by Haunters sent out by Greevil after they received news of his supposed passing, and when they see him as nothing more than a diabolical ex-Cipher Admin, can he succeed in reaching out to them?
* ''Pairing(s)'': ''Very'' mild Trudly x Folly once a subplot about Miror B. and his cohorts develops (this pairing probably wouldn't even register if you weren't looking for it, though); considering Eldes's former role as Lily's husband, there's of course some Eldes x Lily (one-sided after Eldes sees her after his "death," of course).

An accident causes a cave-in and seriously injures him, and his team of Pokemon must work together to escape the cave and keep their Master alive.
* ''Comments'': This is an original character and original team, using only a few events from ''Diamond/Pearl''. Surprisingly good for a Pokefic, perhaps the biggest plus is that Joshua and his team are believable characters. The dialogue between the Pokemon is fun to read, and you can tell that despite the experimental writing, the author's put a lot of effort into this story. Apparently he is considering a prequel and a sequel depending on how much people like this.

With only his pikachu (and later joined by his best friend and psychic, David), Alvin must fight his pokemon instincts while trying to find a way to become human again. This will take him across the sea to the region of Kanto, where he unknowingly becomes caught up in a Team Rocket operation that could cause the boy to lose everything. ''Unlikely Ascension'', a sort of companion one-shot to ''Minor Miscalculations'', tells the story of a young man named Logan. Born without any psychic abilities into a family of psychics, the boy was often bullied an abused in his youth. Even after defying the long-thought idea that those not born with the ability could never develop it, he's still treated like an outcast in his own family. This story follows him as he sets out to make his own path, and ends up finding a way to be far more than he is.

The main story on the site is Ultimatum, which is about a psychic who was just trying to help a town get rid of Team Rocket agents and stumbled onto something more complicated. The prequel is ''Altered Paths'', which should be read before, is about what happened to Team Rocket once they lost track of Ash and the gang and are ordered to come back to base.

* Recommended by Hydrall
* ''Synopsis'': This is a pretty in-depth 'verse of two stories (There was a third but its gone now), both of which crossover occasionally. ''Tales of Flame'' is the story of a charmander imaginatively named Flame by his master, who is nicknamed 'Moron' back, and is partially a parody, partially its own continuing plot. ''Anomaly'' is the story of Eve, another clone of Mew, and her adventures in the Pokemon World; It's much more serious. Both are funny and action-filled, while keeping together a universe that includes a much more competent Team Rocket, a gender-bending Mew and a jerkass evil Celebi.
* ''Comments'': Both of them are still going strong, with ''Tales of Flame'' over 314 chapters in. ''Anomaly'' still updates, if slowly.
