How Bad The Springlock Failure Was

Ren Akihara lives a quiet life with his family in the suburbs of Shizuoka, Japan. At school, he’s just another student. At home, he’s the younger brother who always smiles and listens. No one notices anything strange. No one ever asks too much. And that’s exactly how Ren wants it. Because behind his calm eyes lies something no one was meant to find— a remnant from a place the world has erased. There are no records. No files. No memories anyone can trace. Just a name whispered in silence. Core 06. And a boy who learned how to survive by pretending to be normal.

She was the only "useless disciple" in their entire sect, yet her six genius senior brothers doted on her fiercely. The whole cultivation world burned with envy. Her prodigious brothers cherished her like rare gems, always drawing their swords first to shield her from any threat. All she wanted to shout was: "Senior brothers, I can handle this myself! I could single-handedly defeat ten enemies!" Being called weak felt utterly unjust. How could she convince everyone she wasn’t trash—that she was actually terrifyingly strong? The most powerful cultivator in the realm murmured tenderly: "I believe you. I’ll always believe in you." (A satisfying tale featuring a formidable, charismatic, and stunning female lead!)

They whisper my name in fear. Justin Black. The guy who sits in the back of the class, always in black, always untouchable. The one everyone watches but no one dares to approach. They don’t know me. Not really. Because if they did, they’d stay the hell away. I don’t do friends. I don’t do relationships. I don’t do attachments. But then there’s her. June Matthews—cheer captain, golden girl, a walking distraction. She’s everything I hate… and yet, she’s in my way. Assigned to me. Forced into my space. Testing my patience. She thinks she can handle me. She’s dead wrong. Because I have a secret. A place where I go to release the darkness inside me. Where names don’t exist, where pleasure and pain are one and the same. A world where people fulfill their deepest, most twisted fantasies. June doesn’t belong in my world. But the longer she stays, the more I want to pull her under. And once I do… I’m not sure I’ll ever let her go.

Yuhe was a man in a fallen world. The Sun Lord, who was the previous protector of Earth. Was defeated in a terrible battle by the Moon Goddess and compared to the Sun Lord, she was very hands-off.

In a world where humans were ignored by their Goddess, can they survive and strive? or will they simply fail and be forgotten about.

Death—many fear it, yet it is inevitable. Some believe in endless reincarnation; others, in the realms of heaven and hell. And there are those who think death is the final curtain—that our existence simply vanishes. But is that truly the case? Is death the end... or the beginning of something far greater?

She never expected to see him again, the boy behind her childhood trauma. And when she does, the last thing she would of ever expected happens...

Sometimes the biggest prize is the heart you never meant to win. Callie Monroe had never planned to leave Bandera, Texas. Her roots ran deep in the dusty trails of her family's ranch, where she grew up wrangling horses and chasing sunsets. But when her mother was critically injured in a farming accident, the hospital bills stacked higher than hay bales. Her father—desperate and proud—demanded a sacrifice Callie couldn't make: marry the well-off widower next door, a man twice her age with a cold smile and controlling ways. With the help of a childhood friend who'd made it to the city, she packed up her boots, dreams, and barely enough cash to get by…and moved to New York. There, she found work behind the bar at a dive in Brooklyn, pouring drinks, dodging creeps, and sending every spare dollar back home. She wasn't looking for love, but when she heard of a game show that paid winners handsomely, she couldn't resist. But she sure as hell didn't expect a game show to change everything. Grayson Wolfe was a tech genius with the instincts of a wolf. He turned a teenage startup into a billion-dollar enterprise long before he was legally old enough to drink the whiskey he now sold in bulk. But when his father passed away, the old man's will came with a cruel twist: Grayson had to marry—and stay married for one full year—before he could legally inherit full control of the Wolfe fortune and family conglomerate. He didn't need love. He needed a name on paper. A bride. A loophole. In a move that shocked his board and delighted reality TV producers, Grayson entered a high-stakes televised dating show, ironically seeking a convenient partner. The premise? Win the game, win a partner…and a hefty cash prize. He didn't care about the money. He just needed someone willing to sign the damn papers. Armed with charm, wealth, and arrogance, Grayson assumed every woman would be throwing herself at him. Until the redhead in the red dress rejected him. Callie Monroe wasn't dazzled. She wasn't impressed. She hated 'controlling,' and that's what the man was; she couldn't understand why everyone wanted him. Yes, she wanted the money, but not when her pride and dignity were on the line. Grayson had never been humiliated, and so publicly; Callie intrigued and annoyed him, and somehow, he knew that their paths were still going to cross, and he would make her pay for her insolence. What happens when Grayson turns out to be Callie's boss at her new office? Their connection soon spirals into a dangerous game of desire, denial, and a deal that might cost him everything…especially his heart. He had everything… until her.

What could I do to explain the news I received? It was harrowing and like a knife to the heart. How could I ever explain it to my daughter?

Ten thousand years ago, the sky shattered, the earth bled, and reality screamed. Gods and awakeners clashed against horrors that should not exist......things that twisted minds, devoured souls, and laughed at the concept of death. The world did not win. It survived. The Veil Barrier was forged, sealing away the nightmares at an unfathomable cost. Time passed. The world forgot. But the barrier is rotting. Cracks spread. Whispers crawl. Monsters pour through, dragging something far worse behind them. And in the midst of it all, something else stirs. Not a hero. Not a villain. Not a god. A being that should not exist. One even the horrors feared. The world thinks it won the war. It was wrong.

In this AU, everyone has to go through an exam in the nearby city after officially turning 10 to see if they are ready for their trainers' license, qualifiers were given the choice of going to either the trainers' academy, police academy, or nurse academy before leaving for their pokemon journey. Due to the sassy little Ralts of our MC, instead of the trainers' academy, she will join the police academy. It will be a hell of a ride as our MC tries to go undercover in criminal organizations, burning down these organizations to the ground left and right only in hope of early retirement. MC will interact with Ash, Misty, and Brock as in this timeline Ash has to go through the trainer's Academy. MC, Ash, and Misty will be 15 as they come out of the academy and Brock will be 18, the big brother for the trio. MC will be on her journey(burning HQs) and occasionally will travel with the anime trios. ‐-------------------------------------‐---------------------------------- Note: { Warning from the beautiful profanities my characters are going to sing in the chapters, Readers discretion is advised. } I do not own Pokémon except OCs introduced in the story. Also, I don't own the cover for this fan-fiction, all credit to google-sama and his generous image library. I will try to avoid making grammatical mistakes as much as I can, if found pls comment. let's see, MC x Misty so Yuri is happening, if you don't like it just skip the part but don't go on being toxic to other people. Romance will be slow since MC having her journey. Also, I will more focus on the interaction between MC and other characters and Pokémon. The pace will be slow. MC will challenge the gyms but as a mission from team rocket HQ. R18 scenes later down after the characters turn 18 according to the progression of romance in the story. So it is very far away. I am a newbie trying to write my first fanfiction so you know. I will try to keep updating periodically. Hope you enjoy my story.
