The explanation was at the same time bizarre and unfamiliar, yet... uncannily familiar. Jade scooped up a bit of her omelette, mulling over what to say. "So it's like you two are tied together, huh?" Human and legend, tied by blood. Was it really all that different than being tied by spirit...

Well, that sure was a lot to take in. Not so much the idea of someone being partnered with a Legendary--that part was normal, or whatever passed for normal these days. No, it was more the fact that Odile was... not exactly what Jade was used to. ...She realized too late that she was staring...

Okay, Jade was prepared to not be surprised to meet people here who had met Legendaries. She was not prepared to meet someone accompanied by a Legendary. "You're a Legendary?" she blurted out. While also reaallly hoping that it wasn't a joke. "I've... never heard of a Legendary of wrath...

"Oh right, this is Nine," Jade added quickly, gesturing to the Pikachu who was staring at Odile's display with a sort of disturbed fascination. "And uh, bit of a long story, but he's not exactly normal, even where we come from." It was weird how easy it was to say, now that she was far, far...

Jade rubbed the back of her head. "Oh, uh, don't worry, it's not a big deal." It took her a second to process the compliment and realize that Nine wouldn't be the one to show appreciation, so she should. "And thanks." She decided not to mention how much negotiating it took to get him to agree...

Nine narrowed his eyes at the... tooth?--yeah, that was a tooth--that had randomly flown into his berry plate. Jade turned to look in the direction it had come from and saw that girl from the boat who had that the near-identical yet slightly inhuman-looking twin (who Jade was pretty sure was a...

Jade let out a sigh as she sank into one of the squishy booths around the outer wall of the cafe. "Well, at least there weren't any disappearances today." "*That just means we're still waiting for the enemy to make a move,*" Nine pointed out, leaping down from Jade's shoulder and landing on...

Jade swallowed. "Right, yeah. I guess you've got more immediate concerns. And if the Legendaries are going to get their power back, then... well, I figure Mewtwo at least would want to help." Even if the other legends didn't care, he would, right? Nine considered that, relaxing slightly...

Jade glanced uneasily down at Nine. The Pikachu said nothing, staring downward with a quiet, smoldering anger. It was nuts... one guy, doing all that? "The authorities can't really do anything about the Rockets in our world," Jade admitted, glancing away. "I thought they might, but I guess...

Jade stared blankly. That was... a lot to take in. A bunch of Legendaries that she'd never heard of and all of them were nuts? Also, she hadn't really pieced together until now that Spirit 'safeguarding Entei's soul' meant he literally wasn't around anymore. So he'd just... picked Spirit and...

Jade winced. She hadn't meant to make the situation at home sound that bad. But maybe May was just trying to explain the reality of things in her world. Spirit seemed to have other ideas, but... Jade exhaled slowly. "Well, in my case, I was already involved with the Rocket stuff. So even...

Jade tilted her head. "He... spends all his time in a Poké ball?" Another irony--her world's Legendaries practically had a phobia of the dang things. Still, the idea of having to fight Legendaries and not even getting any help from your supposed ally... yeah, that didn't sound fun. Spirit...

Nine looked down, obviously troubled. Jade wanted to find it weird that the Legendaries weren't willing to be caught if it was literally a matter of life or death, but then... could she really say that it wouldn't be the same with some of the legends that she knew back home? "I guess if they...

Jade shook her head. "It's not just me and my team, no. My friends got involved in it before me. Some of them are chosen, others are just... helping out because they can." Was that sort of the situation May was in? She'd said her friend got recruited, not her... Jade paused, fidgeting a...

Chaletwo. Jade wasn't familiar with that legend, but the name made her think of Mewtwo. And... wow, okay, that legendary war was way different than the one Jade was mixed up in. Images of what happened in Viridian--buildings leveled by wind and fire and psychic force--only on an unimaginably...

"'War of the Legends,'" Jade repeated blankly. Why did that sound like a formal name or something? "I guess you could call it that? At least, we're trying to prevent the conflict between humans and Legendaries from turning into all-out war," she added with a nervous laugh. Another world...

Nine's brow furrowed. "*Like I said, I can only feel if they're close. And it's just a vague feeling. The real Legendaries can actually find each other if they need to. I'm just...*" His voice trailed off. Jade was too busy staring at the gems around Spirit's neck. The gems that apparently...

Nine closed his eyes. "*It's not a specific feeling. Just a kind of pressure if they're close.*" That sort of left the obvious question as to why he could feel something like that. And, well... they already knew that Nine was an experiment, made by the same people who made Mewtwo, so...

Jade gave a weak laugh. “Same with my world. To be honest I would’ve had a hard time believing it if the guy who brought us here wasn’t friends with one.” Friends with a legend, just for its own sake, not out of some kind of contract. “*I haven’t been able to sense anything—if there are...
