Poke Fun PlayOriginal Pokémon stories
Read original illustrated Pokémon stories. Discover cozy tales, mysteries and adventures, with Pokémon profiles and related activities.
A lighthouse letter with one delivery left. A bell that needs a gentler hammer. A library whose books refuse to stay on their shelves. Our Pokémon stories begin with small mysteries and follow the friends who choose to solve them. Read an original illustrated adventure, a cozy tale or a lightly spooky mystery, with familiar Pokémon and a few you may not have met yet.
Every story has its own setting, cast and ending. Some follow a rescue through rough water; others find a quiet garden above a busy city or a surprising reason to watch the sunrise. The illustrations follow scenes from the story, and each featured Pokémon links to our Pokédex so you can explore its types, evolution family and artwork afterward.
Choose a theme or browse the illustrated archive. Stories are complete short reads, with reading times to help you find a tale for the time you have. Afterward, discover a related coloring page, try a puzzle or continue with another story. These are original fan-created adventures from Poke Fun Play, separate from official Pokémon games, episodes and books.
