Gotta write them all

This is a set of very short poems for the Round 28 of [community profile] genprompt_bingo. They turned out to be Pokemon-themed (mostly Pokemon Go).

The poems are very short so they don't have their own titles. No need for warnings and ratings either.

Hosted on AO3 as one work split into chapters, because the challenge format requires a separate link for each prompt.
