The oppressive pressure in the air was deafening. Xavian stood there, limbs all wrong, unnatural grin plastered across his face, and she felt sick. In the end, this was just a legendary battle, wasn't it? Just another one of those, with more people, and fewer Pokémon each. Spirit growled by her...

That does add some context! I assumed Moonsong was just a random member of the troupe because Ribbontail just identified them as Moonsong and not in a way that suggested it was especially personal, but it makes sense if they were his child specifically. I think what's striking me about it...

Hoo boy, what a story. I figured from the start that Vera didn't actually get killed by ghosts, but didn't have an inkling of where it wound up actually going (though you foreshadow it nicely throughout). I thought you did a lovely job of writing Ken's POV, his prejudice, his relationship with...

Hey! I read this story yesterday in the Google Doc, so unfortunately no line-by-lines, and apologies if I comment on something that's been changed, but I figured I'd drop overall thoughts! I really enjoyed this story on most every level. The prose is smooth, the second-person POV reads well, it...

Hey! I read this yesterday in my contest entry marathon so I thought I'd stop by and drop a bit of a review - no line quotes unfortunately since I wasn't taking down quotes as I read, but general thoughts. I don't think I've read much significant prose from you before but I think you did quite...

Okay, whatever. May rubbed her face, sighing, about to say something like okay, fine, it just sounded like you were about to bail on us, but before she could, Mitch suddenly turned, barking at Wes about how his name was definitely Mitch. She looked between the two of them, Mitch trying to...

Spirit winced. "Most Pokémon's mouths and vocal cords cannot form the sounds to speak human. I was given the ability by Entei." She perked up again, switching back to her native speech. "But you should be able to learn our Pokémon speech. You can make sounds, correct? By arranging them right, at...

May blinked at the Mightyena, who was bouncing around eagerly like this was all perfectly exciting. For a moment she thought of Floatzel, but that was a different kind of energetic. Her, teaching a grown-up Pokémon speech? What a laugh. She wasn’t even that good at it, compared to somebody like...

Signing up, any card.

They awoke together, May's arms wrapped around Spirit's body, her fur damp under May's cheek. With an unpleasant jolt to her stomach, she wiped her face and started to push herself upright into a sitting position. "You okay?" Spirit's head snapped up, looking her over before relaxing again...

Murderer. Killer. How did they know? It was Robin, had to be Robin. Why'd she ever told her anything? Why? May fought her way through the encroaching crowd as nausea crawled up her throat, Spirit tight at her side, evading the clutching hands. And then him. Rick, standing there, with...

May furrowed her brow. "Hang on. You mean you want us to beat him up while he's asleep, or we're supposed to go into his dream somehow and fight him there?"

May frowned. "Well, if we spend too much time here, isn't Orzo just going to do what he pleases over there? He has no charade to keep up anymore. He might be going around killing people for all we know. We can't just sit around any longer than we have to." Spirit looked at Nine as he went for...

[[End day early]]

Dave looked at Lusamine, deadpan. "Well, that's fucking boring." The hissing creature she'd pointed at (it had a fucking cowboy hat, how on earth was so much insufferable godforsaken nonsense in his multiverse escapades cowboy-themed, was there a dead cowboy spirit fucking haunting him) had a...

And they were gone. A Brisa and Starr who remembered nothing and then got immediately killed. Figured. Dave took a tight breath, arms folded. "Well, clearly whoever here's a doctor should've fucking gone for them. They were the obvious target. Kind of surprised the mafia even had the balls to...

Spirit looked up. "Not much was out of place in his quarters," she said. "In a storage room, a box had been moved. And in Orzo's room, a painting of the legendary Pokémon had been defaced to slash out their eyes." May shuddered. So was Orzo planning on killing them all, or what? "Orzo himself...

May sighed. "Look, 'friendship and love' or not, we're going to have to fight this guy, right? He's not going to just suddenly change his mind after thousands of years because we talked about friendship at him. We need a strategy to actually win. If we can get Darkrai to help, great. Are the...

They tumbled out of the portal into a cheery, colorful landscape littered with keys and keyholes as far as the eye could see. What the hell? Some kind of Klefki pocket dimension? May let go of Spirit and rose to her feet. The Ninetales stood up warily, looking around. Out of the chaos and into...

Only a minute after Wes had opened his jacket to reveal a Hoopa (Spirit snarled, dark energy gathering in front of her, until Odette began to explain), suddenly Celebi appeared out of nowhere to tell them the others were in danger at the Maw. Which... they weren't immediately, but then Orzo's...
