[[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=168251 The Flamestar Chronicles]] (also called TFC) is a {{Pokemon}} fanfic by Shrike Flamestar. While he had at least tried to write several other fanfics before this one, none really caught on as TFC did. In contrast to the author's other fanfic, {{Fanfic/TRINITY}}, The Flamestar Chronicles is a (somewhat) more traditional Pokemon fanfic in that the main characters are indeed actual Pokemon trainers although they are [[OriginalCharacter Original Characters]] and no canon characters outside very few gym leader cameos appear. Indeed, the author has at times said it's an AlternateUniverse where most canon characters don't exist, however lately he's just been of the opinion that the story is simply set [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture a few decades into the future]] from the canon timeline.

Added DiffLines:

* LifeEnergy: It's explained that the canonical concept of Aura, already a form of LifeEnergy, is actually an application of Source Energy. All living beings have an aura of Source Energy that surrounds them and composes their LifeEnergy, with Aura-based techniques drawing directly from this field. The field is replenished in time thanks to ambient Source Energy, but if it's completely depleted...

** Shrike Flamestar: A shrike is a predatory bird that impales its prey on thorns. Birds are a big point of symbolism with Shrike, as seen with his IRC screen name, FireBird. [[spoiler: The thorns can be compared to swords as he eventually uses.]] As for his last name, fire is his main element and he is indeed the star of the story.

** Rayne Jarxis: Rayne is the most cool, calm, and level-headed of the group, thus the allusion to rain. Jarxis, on the other hand, is meaningless.
** Aira Kaza: Both her first and last names reference air and the wind. Aira is simply a corruption of "air" with an a added to it, while Kaza is a corruption of the Japanese word for wind, kaze.
** All of the Shrike and Rayne's Pokemon are named after angels. [[spoiler: This is because they actually ARE angels.]]
** Aira's Tenebrae, on the other hand, is simply named after the Latin word for darkness. Amusingly and unintentionally, Tenebrae also happens to be a rather depressing Christian ritual, that can be seen as tying into how religious Aira is.

What starts off as an ordinary Pokemon journey fast goes awry though, as it becomes clear that something sinister is seething under the surface, with Shrike, Zethro, Rayne, and Matariel somehow at the center of it.

The story follows the titular [[TheDanza Shrike Flamestar]], a rather ordinary student at the Rustboro Pokemon Academy. One day after leaving class, two weird men break into his classroom and kidnap a Cyndaquil Shrike had been studying as part of a project. Having grown rather fond of the Cyndaquil, Shrike, along with the aid of his friend-of-sorts Rayne Jarxis, rescue the Cyndaquil and drive the kidnappers off. The incident creates a strong bond between Shrike and the Cyndaquil, named Zethro, however in order to be with him Shrike is forced to leave the academy and begin a Pokemon journey as a student trainer. Rayne also accompanies him with her own Pokemon, an Absol named Matariel, that she had been keeping hidden at school.

What starts off as an ordinary Pokemon journey fast goes awry though, as it becomes clear that something sinister is seething under the surface, with Shrike, Zethro, Rayne, and Matariel somehow at the center of it.
