    Water Veil Cove

    May blinked. "Wait, you're looking for legendaries? I guess you also heard the stuff about Manaphy?" Spirit looked a little dejected about not getting to run around the dorms looking for this trainer, which was probably for the best; May suspected that would've involved invisibly phasing...

    Water Veil Cove

    May rubbed her face. "Okay, so what you're saying is just... you want to go check out the dorms? See if he is in his room?" Then why were they way out here asking her if she'd seen him? Did they even know this guy? Why did Mightyena even care if some random friend of a girl whose name she didn't...

    Clues and Things - OOC

    I'm catching up and noticed this in the café - could just be flavor/characterization, but I feel like the way this makes a point of showing Xavian frowning and saying "most everyone" suggests some significance to the idea some people (presumably NPCs) are actually native to this universe, or...

    Water Veil Cove

    Well, May could think of plenty of reasons somebody might want to get out of this place as quickly as possible. But still. This guy'd told someone he would be there, and then he wasn't. "It's Hoopa, some kind of legendary that makes portals, I don't know. I know somebody who could probably...

    Water Veil Cove

    May took a deep breath. "Johto," she said. "New Bark Town. But in the Kanto I know everyone learns Pokémon speech too. So some way or another it doesn't seem like it's the same place. Meanwhile there's a girl here with a weird clone Pikachu that she said was created by Team Rocket, which where I...

    Water Veil Cove

    Spirit was basking in the attention. "My name is Spirit," she said. "I was--" "Yeah, she's got some weird powers," May interrupted, giving her a firm glance. "They're not actually in the necklace, and also we really shouldn't talk about it." Spirit hmphed, but nodded reluctantly after a...

    Water Veil Cove

    'Energy shit'...? "What are you talking about? It's like, a lot of tones and pitches and syllables. It's just..." She trailed off as she realized somehow she wasn't actually sure she'd been literally hearing the Mightyena speak in Pokémon-speech syllables. She'd felt as if she was, but when her...

    Water Veil Cove

    "She says 'Aiden'?" Well, Saffron City was definitely a real place, and one where people learned Pokémon speech just like everywhere else. He was from another universe, where nobody could talk to Pokémon, but they still had a Kanto and a Saffron City? It crossed her mind for a moment that maybe...

    Water Veil Cove

    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?"...

    Water Veil Cove

    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...

    Water Veil Cove

    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...

    Water Veil Cove

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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...

    Threadmarks: The Final Stretch - Chapter 72: Rick

    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...

    Overgrow Forest

    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."
