"....Team Mystic. Because to win a battle, I look at my opponent's type before sending out a Pokemon that would deal the most damage to it. That's always important, right?" You asked, looking at Blanche."You're absolutely right, [y/n]. I already see your potential," she smiled, before offering you her hand. "Welcome to Team Mystic."You nodded and shook hands with her. "It's an honor." After a few moments, you let go."Maaaaaaaaan that means I ran all the way over here for nothing?!" Spark groaned."Welp it was worth a shot," Candela shrugged.

Arbitrariness In The Law
There is a common perception that arbitrariness in the law is a bad thing. It is not. This essay seeks to explain why, and to clarify when arbitrariness is a problem.
It is nearly impossible to devise laws that are not in some respect arbitrary. Sometimes the general thrust of the law is not arbitrary but the details are. Start with an uncontroversial law: the prohibition on burglary. Everybody agrees that burglary should be illegal and everybody agrees on why burglary should be illegal. Not everybody agrees, however, on exactly what the law should say. English common law defined burglary as breaking and entering into the dwelling house o...

----Chapter 1: The Hylian of Ordon The following dawn peeked through the tiny window at the top of Link's house. Brightly, it highlighted his figure and danced across him until he could neglect it no longer. He stretched, opening his eyes reluctantly. He rested his hands beneath his head as he stared up at the close ceiling and glanced at his window. He did not wish to banish the light now, for its rays sparkled as they stretched throughout his hollowed home. He lifted a finger and watched as the beam played with it, threading it within its glory. A smile spread across his face, and he pulled his hand down out of ...
Haylie looked up from her homework, exasperated. Bio-chemical compounds, though being the basis of life, were getting on her nerves. If she had to do one more oxygen-hydrogen-carbon compound identification, she thought she might go crazy. Anyways it was hard to remember the differences between sucrose, glucose, fructose, lactose, cellulose, deoxyribose, ribose, maltose and galactose. Still, she had the formulas to work with. She didn’t see how it would help her to know these formulas, even if it was only for chemistry…
See, Haylie wanted to study molecular biology, but in a digital world, she could look up anything, if she needed to know i...

Protective Tendencies One shot-Candy land.That was how Tony had described his R&D labs to Bruce that fateful day on the helicarrier. That was exactly what it was and surprisingly Bruce didn't feel like fleeing to another country. Perhaps it was that Tony was not afraid of him or the other guy. In fact Tony was still poking and prodding the good doctor trying to get him to as he so acutely put it 'hulk out'. No matter what Stark did Banner never hulked out. Not once. Not even when Tony showed him what he deemed 'The green room' so he could let the bigger guy out to play. Bruce just laughed it off before going back to his lab.Tony was still...

The sound of boots pounding down the length of the hallway was enough to tell her what had happened - she put aside the arithmetic book, told her two students how proud she was of them, and waited for the soldiers in front of her desk as the children looked on in shock. Mrs. DeLancey had sobbed, mostly wondering how having a spy as a governess would affect her own social standing. Major DeLancey had tried to scream at her, but it had died in his throat, and in the end, he watched in pale silence as they tied a rope around her wrists and to...

Soon, Melanie found herself in the largest stadium outside the main gymnasium. At the center of the track ring was a deadly obstacle course with flying spikes, a pool with a radioactive shark, and much more.
“This is your obstacle course?!” Melanie asked incredulously. “Someone could get hurt!”
“But of course!” said Bulltrunch cheerfully. “But since our students are still training here, we don't allow that. However, injury is just as helpful a learning tool as long as it isn't too permanent. Our alumni are the elite, able to endure anything, but also flawlessly avoid the dangers of hazards to themselves or from pesky heroes.”
“How horrible,” replied Melanie.
“This obstacle course over there is our most difficult obstacle course,” explained Bulltrunch. “It’s only open to seniors in certain programs. "Anyone who passes this course gets a grant for their evil schemes and a scholarship to the Black Hat Institute or any other associate villainous universities."

The Battle of Endor was a turning point in galactic history. Not because of the restoration of the Republic and not from the formation of a new Jedi Order to guide the galaxy, but because for the first time in millennia, galactic power would not be centralized. The galaxy was no longer under the domination of one or two major powers, and was instead shattered into multiple powers entangled in a complex web of ever-shifting alliances; dozens of powers and hundreds of smaller entities all vying for power as they stabbing one to climb and fall. The fall of the Empire at Endor was not the end of the turmoil. The great cor...
