Summary
"She said—” Sylvain gags a little on the taste of his own exhale. “She said it didn’t have to be like this.” His limp gesturing encompasses the whole, the entirety. “Any of it. She wasn’t just asking if I wanted to join them for lectures.”
Felix is back looking out the window, eyes level to the waning moon.
Sylvain looks at his upturned hands on his knees. “She was asking if I want to defect.”

Summary
"Ah, the sea," sighed Professor Okido, stepping up to the railing beside Wataru. "You know, there's a Johtanese riddle I've always found poignant. 'They say that Lugia only suffers the same traveler to cross her oceans once. How, then, can a traveler return?'"
The answer seemed obvious.
"You fly back," Wataru said.
Or: How does an orphan from a secluded valley in Johto rise to become the first champion of the unified Kanto-Johto region? This is a story of leaving home, finding home, principles, politics, and of course, dragons. This is the story of Lance.

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
Once a year, the world's best trainers compete for the title of World Champion. Toril, the favorite, has dedicated her life to battling. Aracely, the underdog, has not. In fact, she barely knows the rules. She didn't even build her own team. She's a mockery of the sacred bond between trainers and Pokémon, one Toril swears to eliminate.
But Aracely makes plays that shouldn't be possible. She reads opponents as though reading their minds, predicts exactly what they'll do. And now, she's made another prediction, one far more unsettling: "When I win, the world ends."

Summary
Of all lies he could possibly tell, this was the most base, the most humiliating, brazen, and downright sad.
“My loyalty is yours,” Augustine said, and the words tasted like ashes in his mouth. Drops of the late Saint of Joy’s blood still speckled his tongue.
The man who was still, despite everything, his God and Emperor, smiled. “That’s a good man. And so I forgive and absolve you of your sister’s sins.”
