    Summary

    Elaine Mouret is a young woman who has chosen to pursue a career life like her father, rather than set out as a Pokémon trainer like her mother once had. Now a couple years older than the typical trainer starting age, she finds herself patiently waiting for some future where she has figured out exactly what she wants to do. Her younger brother, Matthieu, has just come of age to start his lap around the region without special permission and he soon intends to travel from their home west of Camphrier to Santalune to face his first gym challenge. As the dutiful elder sister, Elaine finds herself pulled further and further along as her world gets increasingly out of hand.

    Summary

    "Dear Miss Summers,

    Thank you for your application to the Littleroot Young Champions' Initiative. Eager new trainers like yourself are what make the future of Hoenn bright! Regrettably, our supply of starter Pokémon is limited, and so only a handful of applicants can be selected for this program. Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three…"

    A dull ringing rose in her ears. She scanned and re-scanned the last sentence, as though staring at it would make it change, but it still said the same thing: "Your scores do not qualify you to receive one of the three starter Pokémon."

    Well, there it was, the answer spelled out in black and white. She wasn't good enough, and that was that.

    ---

    Hayley Summers is determined to become a champion. She didn't count on getting a rebellious fire hazard as a starter Pokémon, the class weirdo as a training partner, or a pair of ecoterrorists as her personal adversaries, but—what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right? And in the world of training, that's starting to look very literal.

    Summary

    Peter’s gotten used to Gotham by now. The thousand little sounds that build up to the cacophony of a city in controlled chaos. But it isn’t home, and it never will be, and the more time passes, the more that thought makes him twitch. He’s frustrated by it, annoyed that he feels like he’s forcing his way through a world that doesn’t belong to him. Worse, the Soul Stone is starting to become more and more of an issue. As if it senses something coming.

    Tony's last words had been 'the threat always comes back.' Thanos won't be thwarted forever, only delayed. Eventually, he's going to hunt down the stray Soul Stone that Peter holds.

    The Bats have a few opinions on that. The Avengers that have fallen into this other world have a few of their own. And there's the problem of Dr. Strange's letter...

    Summary

    "Shit, why are you so damn lucky?" Vi groaned, tossing her head back in frustration as her character in Street Fighter collapsed on screen, completely out of health.

    Caitlyn smirked, setting her controller down with practiced ease.

    "Skill issue,"
