They were going to do the whole scouting plan a bit later, but some people had stuff they wanted to do first, mythical Pokémon they wanted to find and recruit to help. May wandered toward the battle arena to kill time until then, wondering if anyone was up for a practice match or something...

Spirit nodded firmly. "I will go in first." She said it in Pokémon speech, thank everything. "Yeah, that makes sense," May said. "She can get in there invisible, make sure whether it's clear, and come right back out to report back." The good thing about everyone else getting involved too was...

May listened to the talk of the others, frowning. So there was a myth, and it definitely seemed to be referring to a Hoopa. Orzo and Clink had both been poisoned, likely while attacking Irene, but what would they be doing there together? And Xavian had just... accepted healing for Clink and...

What the hell was that Noivern's deal? Everything he said seemed to be some kind of test or judgement. May exhaled. "Yeah. Let's try to find out where they are." Giving her PokéGear number to a virtual stranger wasn't exactly something she made a habit of, but it wasn't as if she'd be getting...

The Noivern was really going for the intimidation tactics and it wigged May out, but it wasn't like she didn't agree. She looked at Spirit, wary. The Ninetales looked between the three of them, ears flattening as she lowered her head. Her gaze settled on Malachai with his final remark, and...

May nodded slowly. She wanted to just confront Xavian, watch him shrink away apologetically like he did every time it became clearer how he'd bungled things. What could he do if he didn't like it, anyway, an oblivious rich guy against an island full of legendaries? But it'd sounded like the...

May felt the hairs rising on the back of her neck. Instinct wanted her to back away; she stood firmly still, clenching her fists. Something about the Noivern's presence reminded her strangely of Dragoreen. Pragmatic, sure, she'd take that. "Apparently Officer Jenny had a coded journal that...

That was definitely the Noivern from the ship, all right. They definitely didn't get that big in her universe. (And wasn't his coloration pretty weird, too...?) He'd no sooner come out of the ball than a booming voice spoke in her head. What makes you significant? For a moment she thought...

May took a sharp breath. "Well, originally I just went there to get a low-level Skarmory and then return, but I got sidetracked and wound up doing the Ouen League instead." No chance she'd heard of any kind of alternate-universe counterpart of hers, if she didn't even know Ouen existed. How did...

May shook her hand, wary. She looked older, but not old. Late teens, maybe. Galar was pretty far away, but she'd heard about it; rowdy fans of star trainers, the whole Dynamax phenomenon thing that made the Pokémon bigger for extra showiness. "I'm May and this is Spirit." She indicated Spirit...

The talk wound down, and May headed out. Out of the building. The culprit was probably the Hoopa. And what? It'd attacked Steven. She wasn't exactly equipped to fight a legendary with nobody but Spirit. Even if it was one that was doubly weak to Shadow Ball. Spirit was agitated, glancing at...

May pressed her lips together. "Well, then somebody other than you. Would he not let anyone check if his partner is actually his partner?"

So much for things calming down. Two people gone, one of them Officer Jenny, the other the girl with the Roserade that they'd chased down after the first disappearance. Spirit was visibly unnerved, staying close to May's leg, looking restlessly around. May checked her PokéGear and found a...

It's time! Today, on The Quest for the Legends' twentieth anniversary, is the time I hoped to get to post the final chapter here, and it all worked out in the end. Thank you to everyone who's followed along! Chapter 77: Home “It’s a soul gem,” Molzapart said as Mark turned the purple...

Note that chapter 75 has also been posted! Don't read this one until you've read that. More suicide content warning here. This chapter is the one chapter to have been expanded a little bit beyond the original version; these expansions were made in kind of a rush, but I hope they represent an...

Apologies for the wait! The climax of the story is finally here with chapters 75 and 76 (the two are being posted simultaneously, because 75 raises a lot of questions answered by 76). Note that there is still one more chapter after this, which should be posted on Sunday, the story's twentieth...

Also note the scent also existed in the lounge, which was not the scene of a kidnapping, so it's probably connected to the culprit directly, and not to anything they're doing specifically to kidnap people.

This is in the lounge. Note that the reason I chose to check out the lounge was that Tetra said Orzo sometimes hangs around the lounge.

Before they left, Spirit warily sniffed around the lounge, trying to pick up any interesting or unexpected scents. [[Odor Sleuth @Flyg0n]]

Didn't want to talk about that much, did he. Probably predictable. Why'd he even ask? She sighed. "Yeah, you too." "I hope you find your way back to your world with Coleane," Spirit said. "Good luck to both of you." The Oshawott disappeared out of the lounge. May sank back down onto the couch...
