Honestly it was good to see she wasn't insane, that there were other people here who didn't seem to think this whole people from multiple worlds thing was all very normal and made perfect sense. "She says if I can't understand her, then how would I know about Steelix or Graveler or Raticate?"...

May stared. The Mightyena was so excited about the prospect of talking to her trainer that she could barely contain herself. That was... that was something. Weird and sad and weird. "Your Mightyena was... asking me to tell you what she's saying. Because people can't understand Pokémon in your...

May frowned. "Well, yeah, I learned it at school like everyone else." Damn it, was this more bizarro-universes? A universe where all Pokémon spoke human, now a universe where no humans could understand Pokémon? Maybe it was just like the past, she supposed -- but Jade had apparently been from...

May wasn't sure there was still any point to looking into the mythical Pokémon here, if there was universe-hopping going on. What did it even matter if Manaphy was here, if it was just this universe's Manaphy? But it wasn't like she had much better to do. She hadn't bumped into Jade again. Might...

Spirit's explanation only seemed to upset Coleane more. She'd been summoned to... defeat the Champion and become the best there ever was? What the hell was that about? A spirit entity, soul of the planet, that usually summoned heroes to save the world, just sent a Pokémon to become Champion for...

Oh. Totally different world-ending disasters. Go figure. Was every world just ending in its own way, in need of storybook heroes to save them? Too bad they weren't exactly storybook heroes. May took a breath. Nothing felt real anymore. Maybe she'd wake up soon and none of this nonsense would...

Spirit stepped forward, ears flattening. "Wait," she said. "What kind of threat were the humans summoned to combat? What did they do to stop it?" This was stupid, unfair. What was May supposed to do? Act like talking Pokémon cheerfully declaring they came from another universe were just...

And now Coleane was sad, because she didn't instantly believe she was from a different universe. May took a deep, agitated breath. "And the Voice of Life brings them over to... to save the world, or what?" Was Chaletwo basically her universe's Voice of Life equivalent? Was that what the...

Spirit nodded slowly. "A different world. One that has only Pokémon, but they all speak human?" "Spirit, this is ridiculous. Why would a bunch of Pokémon in a world of Pokémon speak human? Most Pokémon can't even make human sounds without some kind of legendary interference." "But different...

May squinted at the Tropius, who was smiling as if nothing were more natural. "Well, that's definitely not a real place." Spirit looked at Coleane closely. "You say the Voice of Life brought you to Hoenn. How did it send you there?" May wasn't sure they should even be continuing this ludicrous...

Chapter 72 time! I was looking forward to writing this one for a very long time. :copyka: The Final Stretch – Chapter 72: Rick They flew to Cleanwater City. May was silent, staring fixedly ahead, leaning forward as if it’d make Skarmory go faster; Mark couldn’t begin to guess at what she...

May stared at her. No humans except for... heroes? "Exactly where did you say you come from?" Spirit's brow furrowed. "I have never heard of this Voice of Life. That's strange if they're as important as you say."

Tiny bits of... what? May squinted at her. Was Coleane just... kind of crazy? The planet having a soul? Spirit was still looking intently at the Tropius, though. "You don't hear any difference? So where you came from humans and Pokémon all spoke the same language? And... the Voice is not a...

The Tropius was large, her enormous leafy wings creating gusts of wind as she landed that had May holding onto a tree for balance, her hair whipping in her face. "Hey," she said. "We never finished talking yesterday. About where you came from? You said Pokémon just... spoke human where you...

Where would a Tropius go? Maybe the forest. That seemed like a dumb answer, but she didn't have a better one. Coleane was a trainer, too; why would her haunts be the same as what you'd imagine for an average wild Tropius? But it was all she could come up with, and Spirit concurred, so they...

May settled into the bed with a sigh. Whatever else you could say about all this, it was a pretty soft, comfy bed. Spirit lay next to her with her head resting on her paws, and she idly stroked her fur. She hadn't had Spirit out like this in a while. In a way she'd missed it, and in another way...

May furrowed her brow. Voice... of Life? What was that supposed to mean? "Where did you say you're from?" Spirit looked intently at Coleane. "Who is the Voice of Life? Is it a legendary Pokémon?"

May shrugged. "He's a Hitmonchan from Ouen. Decided he wanted to do training as a trainer as well as as a Pokémon - just, he travels around and registers for tournaments and collects badges, and wrote a book about it. But last I heard he wasn't catching any other Pokémon, just was officially...

May stopped chewing, looking back at Coleane. "...Huh. You don't know Fury the Hitmonchan by any chance, do you?" "Probably not, if they're from Hoenn," Spirit said. "Yeah... I thought he was the only one. I guess you're new? And you train other Pokémon? Pretty sure Fury just trained himself."

May looked searchingly at the Oshawott. What on earth? Coleane sure seemed chipper, but Gen was positively anxious about whatever he was. Was he another superclone or something? He didn't look any different but then again he had a scarf; maybe it was hiding something? Well, whatever. She put...
