Summary
For the first five-hundred years of my life, I didn't realize I was a “pokémon.” Upon awakening hazy memories of my past life and realizing I used to be some weak creature, I summarily ignored them. I forgot about it for centuries, until I had second thoughts and meditated on the matter.
Ignoring it for so long would be something I regretted for quite a while. It turned out, these "humans" were something to pay attention to.

Summary
To his human coworkers, Sean is a competent aide to the engineers. Having an extensive work history and great professionalism, none of them would ever consider he could be a Zoroark, known tricksters and general troublemakers. He is surprised he has gone this long without being noticed. The humans of Goldenrod, he concluded long ago, are much less wary than those of Unova.
Click to expand more detailed summary containing mild spoilers.
Sean Black, a Zoroark who fled from Unova decades ago, has been content pretending to be a human. He works for a tech company making MRIs, which is interesting enough to him. The other disguised Pokemon in Goldenrod have been seriously considering revealing themselves to humanity, notably the long lived Ninetales. When one his coworkers mysteriously is transformed into a Pokemon by Mew, their plans are greatly accelerated.

Summary
In the Pearl Clan there was a legend that said the souls of humans that were unjustly killed would come back as Zoroark. They would haunt the land seeking revenge for the cruelty and injustice they suffered through during the final hours of their human life. Ingo had never thought much of the legend. Yet, as he lay on the ground bleeding to death while clinging to the dead body of his daughter that legend was the only thing going through his head. He was dying. His child was dead. Any hopes of reigning his memories, and finding the man in white was gone. Everything had been ripped away from Ingo and his child when they were killed to fulfill the orders of a man fearful of the two strangers from the rift. In Ingo's last moments he is filled with rage and sorrow, and he wonders if this is how the Zoroark of legends felt as they died only to come back as vengeful spirits. He wonders if he will come back as one as well. Ingo and Akari's deaths have consequences for all of Hisui. Without them the rift isn't fixed, the clans relationship with the Galaxy Team breaks, and a Zoroark haunts the land searching for revenge for him and his child. Hisui's only hope lies with a man in white who falls from the rift. A man named Emmet.

Summary
Charlie wasn’t what he himself would call happy, but he had a stable job, so he wouldn’t complain. And honestly, ten-hour days weren’t all that bad. What else would he spend his time on, otherwise? So he was fully expecting to continue his career, in one form or another, until retirement.
Then he died. In his own home, in his own bed.
Only afterwards, now with far more arms and a strange relationship with gravity, did he start panicking.
Not quite alive again and in a place he’s never heard of, Charlie isn’t sure what to make of a world he hadn’t thought of in more than a decade. Really, he’s lucky to be where he is. After all, if he’s never heard of Almia that means nothing bad happens there, right?

Summary
The powers of Pokémon are vast and mighty. Humans fear them, love them, and rely on them. But what if that power could be placed directly into a human's hands, free from the need for partnership?
Mercury is an unlikely survivor of a series of experiments to accomplish exactly that. A project failure kept and trained as a weapon, she was recently rescued by the Pokémon League and returned to as normal a life as someone with her background could have. Which is to say, not very. Left with severe alterations to both her body and mind, she finds adjusting to human life rather difficult. Perhaps a normal journey as a Pokémon trainer will be exactly what she needs... or perhaps it will go catastrophically wrong.
This is a quest, the voting for which takes place on my Discord. It's written in second person. Participation in the quest isn't at all needed to enjoy the story; it's edited for readability before being posted here. So please kick back and enjoy!

Summary
An eevee wakes up with too many thoughts in her head, much to her inconvenience and displeasure.
Sort of an isekai, but only in terms of framing device. Tag suggestions and feedback are appreciated.
