They were looking for legendaries. How ironic. "Over in my universe you definitely wouldn't get legendaries just showing up for a party like this," May muttered. "I guess the ones here are just a whole lot friendlier." "Any place on the island might contain clues," Spirit said firmly. "We...

What did you do after a night of maybe dozing off a few times before waking with a start again? At some point Spirit had fallen asleep, at least, only to wake with a start when May shifted. They ate breakfast alone at the café and then headed out, bleary, somewhere away. Somewhere they hadn't...

Spirit had no plans to sleep. She'd sat herself at the foot of the bed, looking around, ears perked, insisting May didn't have to worry about anything and she'd deal with any danger. May wasn't sure how to feel about any of that. Xavian's evening announcement had said they couldn't return to...

Chapter 73 is here, finally. Chapters 75 and 76 ought to go up simultaneously, so although chapter 74 art is probably getting finished today I'll probably try to post that one when I finish the chapter 75 art? Something like that. The Final Stretch – Chapter 73: Recuperation Mark...

"I know Mean Look," Spirit said immediately, perking up - in Pokémon speech, though, thankfully. "I will be able to stop them from getting away." "Yeah, if we found them in the first place." May peered back at Officer Jenny. Something was still off about her. That spiky-haired trainer was...

May watched the officer, eyes narrowed. She was still acting off, more bothered by the questions than she was letting on, acting surer than she was about things. "What makes you so sure we can trust your partner, anyway? Some Arcanine can teleport, right? Yellow mane? And -- Pursuit doesn't...

May looked at the... what was that? It looked like a Farfetch'd but... oddly humanshaped? "Yeah? What?" Was there nobody else here who understood him? Jeez. Maybe her and Jade's universes really were unusual. May was near the back, wary. She already wasn't a huge fan of cops, and this one...

"Nobody said her name," May managed to say. "You just said Reena. Nobody said it was her who disappeared. So you must have seen something." She took a breath, but it didn't ease the tension in her muscles much. "You can't know you can trust us, I guess, but I think most of us saw each other...

Spirit growled up at the bizarre bat Pokémon, as if seriously considering whether to Curse it into oblivion, but May squeezed at her fur and she turned reluctantly back to watch the trainer and Roserade.

May felt increasingly nauseous standing there as the idiots around her went on about dumping bodies. "Shut up," she said, fists clenched. Stepping forward toward the trainer with the Roserade, she said, "Look, we just need you to answer some questions. On this walk, did you see or hear...

May and Spirit followed Steven and a few others through the brush where Aggron had found a trail. Spirit frowned unhappily as her paws sank into the marshy ground, trying gingerly to step on drier spots. Her heart pounded uncomfortably. Even if somebody had disappeared, it had nothing to do...

May was staring at the ceiling, again. Another night of not much sleep, probably. Spirit had told her, of course, frantic as soon as she caught up with her on the road, that Mightyena'd gone on to say she'd been talking about something involving just Mewtwo. Something different. So either...

Spirit stared at her, took in her obvious confusion. "Mewtwo. Just Mewtwo? No other clones?" A different world. It was just a different world, wasn't it? She looked back down the path, ears flattening against her head again; May wasn't slowing down. "I... I'm sorry," she said, in human, turning...

What. What. The edges of her vision blackened, a heavy thump of blood in her chest. "Yeah. Later," she somehow managed to say through the taste of bile in her mouth before turning around and striding back down the path. ------- Spirit looked anxiously after May, ears flat, before turning her...

There was a sickening jab in her stomach. "Well, I'm not the champion." She shook her head. "Not Indigo, Ouen. I wound up journeying there because I wanted a Skarmory and then..." Her throat tightened. "It's a long story." Spirit perked up at Mightyena's words. "Mightyena suggests we should...

May grimaced. "Yeah. This whole thing is weird. You've somehow got a universe-hopping legendary and the thing you do with it is you decide you want to meet, what, 'unique trainers', and instead of just picking out some of the millions of trainers in your own world you use some kind of universe...

May glanced at Spirit and Mightyena as they nosed around. "Yeah, that's why I came here too. I mean, at first I was figuring no way were all these legendaries here because they're... in my world they're really not supposed to be out here hanging around some island, especially not as a favor to...

May blinked. "Wait, you're looking for legendaries? I guess you also heard the stuff about Manaphy?" Spirit looked a little dejected about not getting to run around the dorms looking for this trainer, which was probably for the best; May suspected that would've involved invisibly phasing...

May rubbed her face. "Okay, so what you're saying is just... you want to go check out the dorms? See if he is in his room?" Then why were they way out here asking her if she'd seen him? Did they even know this guy? Why did Mightyena even care if some random friend of a girl whose name she didn't...

I'm catching up and noticed this in the café - could just be flavor/characterization, but I feel like the way this makes a point of showing Xavian frowning and saying "most everyone" suggests some significance to the idea some people (presumably NPCs) are actually native to this universe, or...
