    Xavian's Private Quarters

    May was downstairs, picking restlessly at her fingernails. Spirit stood by her side, tails still wrapped partway around her as if to make sure she was still there, until she looked up. "That it?" she asked quietly. Spirit nodded, bumped her head against her hand, looked around to make sure no...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    What the hell did she mean, I'm sorry that happened to you and your mon? As if it was a thing that had happened to them? She'd probably seen something garbled, more blurry silhouettes. Assumed it was something other than what it was, because why the hell would May be here otherwise? The knot in...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    Something reached inside of her, cold and then hot. And then, a strange, abrupt stop, everything suspended. She was kneeling when she became aware of herself, sweaty hands clutching Spirit's mane. The Ninetales was curled protectively around her, enveloping her with her tails, pressing her...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    This was stupid, so stupid. May wished she hadn't agreed to follow Odette in here. The cold was biting, clawing at her back. "And what, you think my strength's going to power you up so you can help us?" How did that even work? Humans just didn't have Pokémon energy, not unless they were...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    The room was freezing. May wrapped her arms around herself. "What, copy my moves and strength? How's that going to help? A legendary with the moves and strength of a twelve-year-old sounds pretty pathetic if you ask me." "I will let you copy my aura," Spirit said, pressing herself close to...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    The shadows were deepening, the presence closing in. May clenched her fists, wishing the thing would just get it over with and say what it meant. Again she glanced at Odette. "Are you Marshadow?" Spirit bowed toward the darkness. "Please, tell us what we must do."

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    “Please, forgive my trainer,” Spirit said urgently, lowering her head in deference. Her ears were laid flat still, her body trembling. “She was only surprised.” Surprised. May felt nauseous, wanted to get out of here. Odette was stammering awkwardly, her creepy Pokémon chattering away...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    This whole place gave her the creeps - shadows that were deeper than they should be, the persistent creeping coldness clutching at her. May stayed close to Spirit, looking around. Technically Hoopa was a Ghost-type. Maybe it wasn't what Odette had been looking for, but... May froze, an icy...

    Inner Focus Training Arena

    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...

    Dorm Hall - 1st Floor

    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...

    Dorm Hall - 1st Floor

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Main Hall - Cotton Down Lounge

    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...

    Threadmarks: Day 6: May and Laura

    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?"
