Hello! I'm Kuruk, and I will be reccing Pokémon fanfiction for you this month! I am based as both a writer and reader in the gameverse canon fandom, but I will aim to provide recs from both the anime and manga fandoms as well. Without further ado, allow me to direct you toward our first stop....

Why this must be read: Put simply, this piece hits hard. Baticeer's style is simple but breathtakingly insightful, and these qualities lend themselves seamlessly to the narrative. Whether you're more familiar with the games, anime, or manga, the author's depiction of an aging Pikachu and the manner in which he and his trainer learn to accept the inevitable is just heartrending.
Excerpt:
Pikachu rouses himself from the warm spot in the window seat with some difficulty. Lately, his body seems to have trouble doing what he wants it to do. Run, he’ll tell his paws, and they’ll remain stubbornly planted on the ground, mocking him with their mutiny. Jump, he’ll command, but everything will feel weighted and leaden, as if something was holding him down. Simply walking across the room or leaping on to the bed can make his once-powerful muscles ache, and all his body wants to do is sleep. His mind, however, is still on the battlefield, calculating the opponent’s next move.
