Once upon a time, on a faraway planet called Earth, a girl named Terra lived in relative ignorance of the vast multiverse which humans and Pokemon share.

Until.

Now she's entire dimensions away from home, her cat is a Litten, and she's been chosen by the Unown to right some wrongs and save the world from total oblivion. Aiding her are a variety of humans and Pokemon, some familiar, some strange, and many with secrets of their own. But can a young Poke Maniac and her eclectic group of heroes stop the darkness from destroying everything they hold dear?

Maybe... if they can get along with each other long enough to make a difference.

"I'm working on a thing."



This was the message I would enigmatically state at random intervals on Reddit, hinting at a fairly large project I was working on. This... is that project. More accurately, the first stage of that project.



At one point, Pokemon Burst was to be a fangame, but I didn't want to get hit with a DMCA or legal issues. At another point, it was a comic, but I discovered that I'm much better at putting out quality writing on a regular basis than quality comics on a regular basis (and also my hands shake). Actually, this teaser poster was originally a bit taller, but I cut off the legs because the Pokemon I'd drawn by Terra's feet hadn't turned out the way I wanted them to.



So, Pokemon Burst's first 'wave' is a story. A tale of good and evil, of mice and men, of humans and Pokemon and the world that they share. The kind of epic story I've always wanted to write for Pokemon. And, who knows, there might be a few surprises along the way.



Starting this week, new chapters will be posted on Tusedays and Fridays. I have a pretty large backlog (thirty-six chapters so far), so there's a chance I might extend that to three days a week rather than two days. It all depends on how well the writing goes.



As for the second wave... it's a secret to (almost) everybody.
