Jade gave the Espeon an amused smile. "Uh, no, I'm not a Pokemon. Are there really no humans who know Pokéspeech where you're from?" she asked. It was really funny to think that what had once been her worst subject was some kind of special skill. The Eevees' trainer--named Wes...

Well, at least the eevees were friendly. Jade knelt down so that she was closer to eye level with them and Nine took the opportunity to jump down from her shoulder and go scout out the area that the Espeon had just returned from, which must have been the attack site. "Sorry you were looking...

There were too many people trying to figure out what was up with Orzo, and if there was one thing that Jade knew about infiltration, it was that too many people in one spot was nota good idea. The group couldn't afford to have something go wrong and take everyone out in one fell swoop, not even...

At long last, Chapter 51! I got stuck in a hole trying to juggle a million scenes and rewrote half of them, but it's finally here. 52 is almost done and will NOT take as long. Many, many thanks to everyone who read and reviewed, both during the Blitz as well as after! I'm terrible about...

Jade stood stock still, unable to take her eyes away from Keldeo, pulse pounding in her ears even as the legend stepped back, putting more space between that horn and her chest. She didn't dare let out a sigh of relief, not yet. It felt odd, receiving that kind of praise. Odd to hear Keldeo...

Jade stood frozen as Keldeo charged, thoughts racing. He couldn't possibly be planning to... but she'd just seen him hurl Mitch through the air like he was nothing. She already knew he wasn't going to hold back against a human. 'Bare your soul and show me the strength of your will!' She'd...

Oh my god what. That was really the only thought in Jade's head as she watched Mitch leap onto Keldeo's back and then hold on for dear life as the water horse bolted around the lake before finally throwing him off with a violent thud. Mightyena raced over to her trainer, and Jade stayed...

Jade took a step backward, eyes wide. She opened her mouth to speak, but the words caught in her throat. Keldeo's statement sent her mind ringing back to that fateful day underneath the Whirl Islands. 'Would you sacrifice your life in battle for your beliefs?' Jade clenched her fists...

Jade froze when the first jet of water shot right past Mitch's head--slowly, wordlessly sliding her eyes toward him. Then Keldeo spoke, and her brain sort of restarted, and she remembered what they'd come here to do. No big deal, just facing a legend. She could do this. She'd done this. No...

Nine shook his head, but he seemed pleased by the compliment. "*I can't fly. Most of my teammates can, though.*" He paused, as though contemplating what it would be like to fly by his own power. "*My power is my lightning. It's--*" Jade flinched as Mitch shouted a challenge to the legend...

Jade suppressed a snort at Mightyena's question. "That's... not quite." "*Someone else stole its powers and gave them to me when I was born,*" Nine replied matter-of-factly. That... actually wasn't a bad way to put it. Mitch seemed on board with the idea of getting more Legendary help, and...

Jade turned at the sound of a voice and a Pokeball being opened. Oh, it was him, the guy who'd been taken, and then reappeared days later. (She was pretty sure Odette had said his name was Mitch...?) He was accompanied by a very friendly-looking Mightyena, who was now wagging her tail and...

As Jade made her way down the trail that led to the lake, she was distinctly aware of Nine's gaze on the back of her head as he reluctantly followed behind. "*We should be investigating the Hoopa,*" the Pikachu said tersely. "*You heard what Shaymin said.*" Jade let out a deep sigh. "I know...

Shaymin... did suspect Orzo. At least, that's sure how it sounded. Jade hadn't been sure how to ask, but that last answer pretty much confirmed it. Nine glanced up at her. "*We need to investigate the Hoopa,*" he said in a low voice. "What? Not while he's sick," Jade whispered back. Nine...

There was no fanfare. With the gentle shuffling of paws, Shaymin had appeared, tending to the destroyed greenery with something like an air of sadness. It was like the world had frozen around it. Jade didn't dare move. Even Nine was just watching quietly. It was strange to think that such a...

Nine listened to the various strategies being thrown out, contemplating. "*My skills are usually best for incapacitating humans quickly. But we don't know if there are any humans involved, do we?*" Jade winced at the rather blunt description of his usual role on the team. "No one's sure. We...

>tfw god has been liveblogging your quest (For Smeargle Swap!)

A chill came over Jade. "So we're pretty sure it's a Hoopa, then? And they're, what, impersonating the one who brought us here?" At least, she was pretty sure that Laura wasn't talking about Orzo, if he'd been poisoned.. Nine's brow furrowed. "*I have Iron Tail for enemies immune to...

Jade tilted her head, bemused. "It's not that rare, is it?" There were others on the island who knew Pokespeech, right? Like May, and... probably some others. Though... maybe Aggron was referring to back home. It was weird to think of her worst subject in school being anything impressive...

Jade relaxed noticeably upon seeing that Aggron wasn't hostile. Then she realized who he was talking about. "Oh right--yeah, we know him." She recalled the dragon's withering stare and wasn't sure whether 'friends' was the right word, but at least he'd been satisfied with a good battle, which...
