"Blaz-zieeieekkk!"
"SWAA-AARRRRPPP!"
-[Pallet Town - Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver]-
Twilight chuckled to herself as she continued to write in her notebook, thinking about May's Blaziken and Brendan's male Swampert having a little disagreement with one another. Everyone else was either watching them, playing with them, or practicing Pokémon Battling with them. It was much easier for the gang to practice since more of their visitor's Pokémon have been found.
Twilight herself had formed a bond of sorts with Brendan's Alakazam, who sat next to the alicorn. The highly intelligent Pokémon was reading books about Equestria's history, and used her as a means to translate the written language of Equestria.
Elsewhere, Rainbow Dash loved the Eon Duo of Latios and his sister Latias, and Sean's Ninjask, the three Pokémon were crazy fast, especially the Ninja Pokémon. It was mostly thanks to the Ninja Pokémon's ability Speed Boost, which made the athlete eager to have a race with Ninjask.
Pinkie Pie meanwhile, formed a prankster's friendship with the wild Gengar she and Brendan had found in Canterlot, scaring the poor daylights out of the citizens. The two have already came up with very good (and possibly dangerous) pranks to set up, so Twilight thought to keep an eye on Gengar. She noted that through Sean's Pokédex, she learned that Gengar are very mischievous and at times, malevolent Pokémon...
Fluttershy liked May's Roserade, Sean's Togekiss, and Rosa's Blissey, the three were very calm and very friendly with others. She was having a little tea party with them and her animal friends, which did have a little trouble concerning the Jubilee Pokémon wanting them all to use manners, unaware of what kind of manners he wanted.
Applejack was greatly impressed by the power that Sean's infamous Torterra seemed to emanate from his body, despite the Continent Pokémon taking a nap. She rested against the tree on the GRASS/GROUND-Type's back in the shade, while several of the FLYING-Type Pokémon and some of Fluttershy's birds resting in the branches.
Rarity fell in love with Sean's gorgeous Diancie, and her ability to create real gems out of thin air, even if they disappear around ten minutes after they were created. Learning that Diancie and Celebi were something called, Mythical Pokémon, Twilight and Rarity asked the trainers about it, and they replied that it was something in the vain of existing in legends and that so few people have actually seen them, that their existence is often called into question. Rarity also was impressed with Rosa's Leavanny making rather fashionable outfits for the younger Pokémon, using large leaves she finds and her special silk that was similar to spider silk in some ways. The unicorn had expressed an interest in borrowing Leavanny to help her make outfits at her boutique, until the Nurturing Pokémon's trainer explained that Leavanny doesn't make outfits out of fabrics very well...
The Trainers themselves were doing various other things, May was teasing Brendan over something, Rosa was learning from Sean about how to use your Pokémon's moves to hit at very specific and small pressure points.
Well all-in-all, Ponyville was at peace, despite the massive vortex in the sky and the humans and Pokémon there by the park, which thanks to Twilight and her friends, did convince the citizens the trainers and their Pokémon mean no harm. However, it didn't lessen their nervousness with some of the more intimidating Pokémon, like the DRAGON-Types or GHOST-Types.
Twilight stopped writing in her notebook, detailing some of the Pokémon that Rosa and Sean were or could still be missing, when she heard Applejack yawn and get off the Continent Pokémon's back.
"Hoo-whee...Sean, your...uh...Torterra looked mighty strong, even before hearin' that story that he fought against and beat an Ursa Major...As far as I know, no pony ever dared to try somethin' as crazy as that before." Applejack said to the busy trainer, who was making sure all his Pokémon were in perfect condition after mentoring Rosa.
Sean then replied, "Hai Apple-san, out of all my Pokémon, Torterra is my strongest Pokémon. He has beaten hordes of around fifty or more opponents effortlessly one time, even some of them had a type advantage over him..."
Sean's Torterra simply yawned and continued napping, as Rainbow said, "I'd highly doubt it...If I didn't see him in action yesterday..."
Twilight chuckled as she added, "You and me both, Rainbow. I've never seen such a large creature move and strike with such speed before...he must have-!"
Twilight suddenly yipped in surprise when in an instant, Sean's Torterra unleashed a Frenzy Plant attack at a unbelievable speed, as the thorny tendrils launched forwards in her direction, closing her eyes on a reflex on thinking the attack was aiming for her. But, when the alicorn opened her eyes, she saw that instead, Torterra's thorny vines had gone over her head. Curious, she followed the vines with her eyes, then saw behind her, Pinkie Pie and the wild Gengar the earth pony befriended, caught in Torterra's attack, with Pinkie held in a...err... 'suggestive' position from the vines...
Pinkie said, "Aww...you ruined the surprise Tortie...No fair!"
"GEEENNNNNN...." the wild Gengar agreed with its partner-in-crime...
Torterra's eye twitched subtlety at Pinkie calling him, 'Tortie', meaning he was clearly irritated by the pet name the party pony gave him, but went unnoticed by everyone present. He slowly lowered them from the air and carefully, but firmly, pinned the two down to the ground as Rosa walked up to them...
Rosa asked the two, "You two were about to prank Twilight, weren't you..."
The two looked at each other, then admitted as Rosa explained to the confused alicorn, "Well Twilight, Torterra saw you were busy writing in that book and didn't want Pinkie and Gengar to interrupt you. He's like this all the time, keeping all the troublemakers from causing trouble at Sensei Sean's home...and trust me, sensei has a lot of mischief makers in his big family, one of them being that Pikachu with Sensei's handheld console..."
The Pikachu in question, Sparks, looked up from the handheld system he held, then smirked innocently, but everyone saw quite a bit of mischief in his face as he resumed doing something noisy on the device.
Turning her attention away from the Mouse Pokémon, Twilight said to Sean's prized Pokémon, "You didn't have to do that Torterra, but thank you for being considerate. I do enjoy a good prank every once in a while, as long as it doesn't go too far or hurt anypony else..."
The GRASS/GROUND-Type simply snorted and replied, "TORRRRT-TERRRAAH...", then released the pink earth pony and the Shadow Pokémon from his grasp, then proceeded to nap.
Sean said to the napping Pokémon in Japanese, "ドバイトに来て、彼女のようなことは言わないで..."
Fluttershy said while petting Sean's Togekiss to calm him down, "He's really nice and calm, and he seems to take being far from home much better than I thought, to be taking a nap right now."
May said in response, "Actually, Sean-san's Torterra isn't actually napping right now, Fluttershy-chan. If I remember correctly, he is really doing something like meditation from what he told me...Torterra's saving his strength for striking fast and hard, which now that I have said put me in a pretty pumped up mood..."
-[May's Theme - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]-
The young girl turned her gaze to Brendan as he fed his Salamence, Ryū-Chi, a Pokéblock, then said, "Hey Yūki-kun! How about we have an official battle, you and me..."
Brendan turned his head to May, and replied with a small smile, "Sure, don't mind if we do a one-on-one battle, because as Sean-senpai said, 'we need to train our Pokémon for the battles sure to come', I'm game Haruka-chan..."
Senpai? *sigh* Yet another Japanese honorific I have no idea what it means... Twilight thought in her head.
Sean then said, "Alright, I'll referee this match for you guys. Hey Torterra-..."
Before his trainer said anything more, Sean's Torterra stirred up as he unleashed a Frenzy Plant attack to create a battlefield, slamming the ground that left a barren patch of dirt, void of grass. Then, his Garchomp swooped over the battlefield and created the standard dirt layout in most battlefields back home on Earth, and the Land Shark Pokémon used Dragon Claw to create the typical marks to make the battlefield look more official.
Spike looked at what the two Pokémon made and remarked, "Wow...They knew exactly what he wanted and did it quickly, wonder if they can clean it up just as quick too..."
Sean had visible sweat forming on his head as he thought, I was just going to ask them to help me create boarders for a battlefield, not actually make one...
Twilight decided to get up to Sean and see if she could help in any way. Sean did say a barrier covering the borders of the battlefield would certainly help in not destroying anything unintentionally in the surrounding area.
After the preparations were done, Sean announced, "The battle between Takenaka Haruka and Odamaki Yūki of Sasebo City will now commence! Each side is allowed only one Pokémon, and the victor will be decided if either side's Pokémon are unable to battle! Now choose your Pokémon..."
~{Official Battle; Pokémon Trainer May Vs. Pokémon Trainer Brendan}~
-[Battle! Vs. Brendan/May - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]-
Haruka Takenaka is challenged by Pokémon Trainer Yūki Odamaki!
Brendan and May grabbed their Poké Balls and threw them into the battlefield, the red and white orbs released their Pokémon.
May's Pokémon she chose was her Lopunny named Playgirl as the Rabbit Pokémon called out, "LLoooolll-ppuunnyyy!"
Brendan's choice was his Kabutops that he named Reaper as the Shellfish Pokémon let out his own battle cry, "KA-Bu-u-u-Topsss!"
Pinkie excitedly shouted, "GO HARUKA! GO YŪKI!"
The two trainers readied as Sean said, with Pinkie giving him a red flag and a green flag, "Ready? BATTLE BEGIN!"
The two Pokémon charged to each other at blinding speeds, but Play-Girl was faster as May commanded, "Playgirl! Use Thunder Punch!"
The Lopunny's fist sparked with electricity as the attack was launched at the ROCK/WATER type, but Reaper dodged the attack as he fired a powerful Stone Edge attack, the stones exploded as they collided with the Rabbit Pokémon, sending her flying back.
Brendan commanded Reaper, "Alright buddy, now, use Brick Break!"
The Kabutops leaped up into the air and then dived down to Playgirl with one scythe-claw pulled back.
May shouted, "Incoming! Dodge It!" and her Lopunny did so at the last minute as the ground cracked at the sheer force of the blow.
Then May commanded, "Use High-Jump Kick!" and Lopunny leaped high up and then delivered a diving kick to Reaper's skull, making a loud crack ring through the air as the Shellfish Pokémon was sent flying high in the air and landed head first into the ground.
Applejack commented, "Whoa-nelly! That rabbit's light on her feet to be jumpin' around like that..."
Spike added, "...And did you hear that sound? I can say I do not want to be on the receiving end of a kick like that..."
They quieted themselves as they saw Reaper the Kabutops launch forward with an X-Scissor at a trapped Lopunny, trying to free herself.
May was quick to react and shouted, "Block it, Playgirl!"
The Lopunny saw that her foe was just a few feet away, and when Reaper slashed down, the Rabbit Pokémon caught the X-Scissor in her hands.
Brendan gritted his teeth as he said, "Keep the pressure on them Reaper! Use Superpower to strengthen your X-Scissor!"
The NORMAL-type felt her own strength failing as the Shellfish Pokémon was about to unleash a devastating blow, but not if May had anything to say about it...
She commanded Play-Girl, "Use Low Sweep, then use a Return-powered Thunder Punch!"
The Lopunny then delivered a swift kick to the legs, causing Reaper to lose his footing as he fell back, but not before Playgirl spun and threw a powered-up Thunder Punch to his stomach. The electricity coursed through Reaper's body and he was launched back at a breakneck speed, nearly hitting his trainer, punched through the barrier Twilight put up (causing the alicorn to flinch in pain), and crashed into a huge boulder, pulverizing it to rubble. Laying in the pile of rocks was Reaper the Kabutops, rendered unconscious by the powerful attack-combo...
The Opponent's Kabutops fainted...
Playgirl received a boosted 5,585 Exp. Points!
Playgirl's body glowed for a brief moment as a shimmering sound came and went with the glow...
-[Level Up! - Pokémon X and Y]-
Playgirl grew to Level 59!
Twilight quietly thought to herself, Huh…So that is what a Pokémon ‘leveling up’ looks like...
Sean then announced, "Kabutops is unable to battle! The winner is Lopunny and victory goes to Haruka of Sasebo City!"
-[Victory! Trainer - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]-
Brendan held his friend, Reaper the Kabutops, upright as he said quietly, "Defeated again by Haruka-chan...hmm..."
He called back his Pokémon into his Poké Ball, as May did the same after congratulating Playgirl the Lopunny.
May received ¥5,668 from the winnings...
=============================================================================
-[Pallet Town - Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]-
Brendan gave his Kabutops a Revive and then healed him by using a Hyper Potion, while May gave Playgirl a Sitrus Berry. Everyone congratulated the two trainers and their Pokémon for a good battle.
Pinkie Pie said, "Wowie, wow, wow Haruka! You and Playgirl were awesome like how you and Reaper were all like, WHOOSH! ZAPPY! KA-POW! AND VAMOOSH!"
Pinkie Pie kept on making all kinds of sound effects from the battle May and Brendan waged, earning a few laughs from some of the ponies and Pokémon present. Sean's Lucario perked up and started to use his Aura sense, for he detected a familiar presence, making everyone but Sean look worried.
Sean asked his FIGHTING/STEEL Type, "Lucario? Are you sensing someone else? Or...is it him?"
Applejack asked, "Him?! Him who? Who are ya' talking about?"
Sean said, "I was thinking it could be an old friend of mine due to Lucario's reaction, but..."
Lucario gave Sean a signal that he knew too well, and continued, "...It isn't who I thought it was, but maybe someone else, maybe one of my Pokémon or Rosa's. We two are the only ones of our merry bunch still missing some Pokémon of ours, it could be one of them, or when we consider that Akagi was here..."
Twilight finished for the trainer, "...Whoever Lucario is 'sensing' could be another trainer. Maybe someone you know, correct?"
Sean said, "Right Twilight, so we should investigate...Lucario, go ahead and lead the way..."
-[Pokémon Mansion – Pokémon Red & Blue]-
Deep in the vastness of space, Palkia and Dialga search out for the black mass that attacked them in the Time-Space Rift. The two great dragons sensed that thing far from where they were attacked a couple days ago, and with the help of their brother, one who can detect the particular aura the black mass was giving off.
"That creature is not here sister, it has vanished once again." Dialga spoke telepathically to his sister, Palkia.
Palkia, growling in a predatory way that would send chills up the spines of the most hardened folks, replied, "GRRRAAARRRRR! If I ever see that thing ever again, I'll sent it to a dimension where those...those monsters are sealed!"
A voice they recognized said, "Now dear sister, even if it did horrible things, don't you think sending it to one of those pocket-dimensions...Is a little too harsh considering what those beasts are capable of..."
Then a black figure appeared that had a white, smoke-like plume on top of its head, and had a red crest around its small head.
Dialga spoke, "Darkrai...You were able to make it after all..."
Darkrai said calmly, "Thanks to the little 'spell' Palkia cast upon me, I can venture into space and not suffer any negative effects. Now, let us hunt for this creature that attacked you, it will be punished for its crimes, not to mention this thing made it personal by attacking my family...What can you tell me of this creature...?"
"For a physical description..." Dialga answered, "...It resembles a black and purple mass, like a cloud, fog, or lump of mucus..."
“And it gave of an energy signature similar to you or that creature in that universe with the superheroes…” Palkia said, to which Darkrai replied, “Hmm...I see…It shouldn’t be too difficult to track it compared to the dreamons of the dimension you are referring to…”
"I hope not...and I have to ask..." Palkia replied, "...does father and the boss-man know?"
Darkrai thought as they began to move, and replied to his sister's question, "I cannot tell you for sure...but I suppose it is a safe bet they do know what happened, and are simply not letting us know that they know, as the humans would say..."
-[The Slithering - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
The three legends then warped to another sector of the universe, the black mass they were searching for manifested from its hiding place, and it flew in the direction of a star that was shining particularly bright compared to the others, and it was moving...
It spoke quietly as it eyed the moving star, "The target is ahead...A true shame, the Nightmare Creature would be perfect...If he wasn't so close to those great dragons, he would make a fine king...but...this other target, its power surpasses those gods..."
It zipped through the emptiness of space, closing in on his target...
The moving star...
-[Granite Cave - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
The Mane Six, the Trainers, and the Pokémon have found themselves following Sean's Lucario into a mountain range ten miles south of Ponyville. Lucario stopped to find out where the aura he was sensing was coming from, giving everyone time to stretch, relax, etc.
Twilight, itching to know more about Lucario, asked his trainer, "Uh, Sean? Can you tell me what 'aura' is exactly? Pinkie mentioned that Yūki told her about Lucario having an 'Aura Sense' or something like that..."
Sean answered, "Sure...Aura is a type of energy all living things give off, like vibrations in the air. This energy cannot normally be seen, but exceptional Pokémon, and some humans, can actually bring out their aura to the point where it is visible to the naked eye. Among those exceptional Pokémon, none have a better mastery over aura than a trained Lucario. Using aura, they can visibly see their surroundings in pitch darkness, or even when blinded. Aura can also be used as weapon to defend one's self, read the emotions of others, and even, with enough training, fly under their own power. In certain cultures, Aura is called any of these, Ki, Qui, Chakra, and such..."
Saying Twilight is surprised and excited, would be a terrible understatement...
Twilight thought quietly, Hmm...This aura sounds like magic, but is clearly something else entirely...I'll have to ask him more about that later...
They noticed Lucario sharply turning his head down in the direction of a narrow canyon that leads deeper into the mountain range. After calling back the larger Pokémon, the Pokémon trainers and the Mane Six hurried after Sean's Lucario.
Applejack huffed as she said, "Hoo-whee! Yer' Lucario is a fast critter, ain't he..."
May answered for her friend, who was currently trying not to lose track of the Aura Pokémon, "Well 'doyee', Lucario is a high-level Pokémon. Sean-san put him and a lot of his other Pokémon through some serious training regimes. They're prepared for anything we could face, from either rescue missions to infiltrating criminal organizations, they can do anything to where they are practically trained for government operations…"
The ponies were somewhat surprised to hear that, and started to wonder what kinds of things the eldest trainer's Pokémon are prepared for. Twilight and the others screeched to a halt when Lucario stopped.
Rainbow Dash asked, "Hey! What gives? Why did we-..."
Sean held his arm up to Rainbow, then asked his FIGHTING/STEEL Type, "Hey buddy, you lost the trail, is that why you stopped?"
Lucario turned to his trainer and said, "Arrroooof!"
Fluttershy zipped in front of Lucario, and said, "Are you're saying, that something is...interfering with your ability?!"
The Aura Pokémon nodded, confusing everyone on exactly on what Fluttershy means by her guess…
"Hmm..."
Sean took a hard look at the canyon walls, he was suspicious of the rocks so he asked, "Pinkie-san, do you have a magnifying glass on you, like the ones detectives and investigators use?"
Rosa said, "Sensei, Pinkie doesn't have a..."
Her train of thought was interrupted when the pink Earth Pony zipped past her twice and said excitedly, "Ooo-ooo-ooo! We're playing detectives! I love playing Detectives! Here you go, and now let me..."
She reached her hoof for Sean's cap to put a deerstalker on his head, but Sean noticed and quickly and somewhat frighteningly, grabbed and squeezed Pinkie's hoof, like he was going to rip the poor pony's leg off. The ponies, Brendan, and May gasped and readied to chew out the teenage Pokémon trainer, but stopped themselves when they noticed something unsettling about that boy.
He had a look eerily similar to a cold, ruthless murderer on his face, and his eyes seemed to have a look that says, 'I am going to butcher you' in them.
He said to the pony caught in his grasp, "Listen Pinkie Pie..."
The party pony was intimidated by the sudden harshness her new friend seemed to be creating, and was even more so when Sean just spoke to her. The quiet rage made Sean sound like he was either possessed by some demon, or was brainwashed into a murder machine, a voice intimidating enough to send chills up everyone's spines.
Pinkie stopped struggling and nodded in compliance, as Sean continued, "...If I have one rule, it is this..."
"NEVER touch my hat, for ANY REASON! Do I make myself clear?"
When he finished that last part, he was not only talking about Pinkie, he was also talking to the shivering group as they responded that they understood, he turned his gaze to Pinkie, who said shakily (like Fluttershy), "Y-yes sir..."
Sean released his grip, then reverted back to normal as he said, " Hontōni zan'nendesu, it's a really...personal thing on why I don't like anyone touching my hat. Excuse me..."
He used the magnifying glass to inspect the canyon walls, as Rarity asked, "Good heavens. What was that terrifying show all about?"
Everyone looked at Rosa, since she wasn't as scared as they were, she answered, "I'm not really sure myself, but sensei seems to have a sort of...clingy obsession for that hat. I only saw him wear it after a three week absence...when he returned from that absence, he seemed to have been, very sad...like, he lost someone really important to him, he was even shedding tears a few days later. I asked him what was wrong plenty of times before, but all I got was either silence or him dodging the question."
"I'd say that seemed suspicious. It could be he really did lose someone..." Twilight deduced, until...
"AH-HAH! I knew it!" Sean shouted, "The rocks in this canyon are highly magnetized metal ore, magnetic waves are known to interfere with one's ability to sense another's Aura."
-[Steven's Theme - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
"That is correct Hashimoto-san, perceptive as usual I see..." said a man's voice, which made everyone jump in surprise.
They turned around and saw a young man with slate-colored hair, a purple suit lined with metal accessories, and a four legged, blue Pokémon behind him. The ponies were shocked that Sean's hunch about more humans in Equestria was right, the man was all too familiar to the trainers as they said his name...
"Daigo Tsuwabuki-san...(Steven Stone)"
-[Your choice]-
*pant*
*huff*

*puff*
*pant*
The Earth Pony that was trekking through the Crystal Mountains was running as fast as he could through the woods. Bursting through some bushes, he frightened the daylights out of some animal no bigger than a small wolf. He could barely see what it was as it was out of there like lightning, but noted that it was an autumn red color, and it squawked like a panicked bird.
He stiffened when he realized that the thing he was running from certainly heard the panicked animal and will come to investigate. He ran some more, until he was out of the woods, only to run in front of a pony pulling a cart full of supplies. He smacked into the pony pulling the cart hard, causing the huge stallion to stop abruptly.
"Hey buddy, you alright-?" the cart puller asked, only for the mountain trekker to say frantically, "I've got to get away! Where's the police! The Royal Guard!! THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY!!! I'VE GOT SOME KIND OF FLESH-EATING MONSTER CHASING ME!!!"
That caused the stallion pulling the cart to hoof it down the road, while the other to run the opposite direction to Rainbow Falls.
A pair of reptile-looking, but clearly other worldly eyes zeroed in on its prey quickly heading for Rainbow Falls, and silently thought to wait a bit before it claims its prize...
-[Union Cave - Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver]-
After introductions were given, everyone relaxed from tension, especially the ponies after it was explained that Steven was a kindhearted, but strong Pokémon trainer from Kyushu, and that the Pokémon behind him was his partner, Metagross.
Twilight, eager to know more about Metagross, borrowed Sean's Pokédex as a computer's voice said, "ERROR! SIGNAL INTERFERENCE! INCAPABLE OF SCANNING POKÉMON!"
Steven said, "The rocks are highly magnetized, magnetic waves interfere with electronic devices. Why don't we head back to my camp, there are some fellows you would like to meet Hashimoto-san..."
Sean nodded and said, "Alright Tsuwabuki-san, lead the way..."
Twilight asked, “Uh…Rosa?”
“Hmm? What do you need, princess…” Rosa asked.
Twilight asked, “Is Hashimoto Sean’s last name? Same with Takenaka for Haruka, or Odamaki for Yūki? For that matter, what’s your last name?”
Rosa giggled a little as she answered, “Hashimoto is the shared name of all of Sean’s family on his father's side. Same with Haruka’s for Takenaka on her father's side, and Yūki’s for Odamaki, his father's last name. My family's name is Parker, Twilight…I hope that explains a few things…”
Twilight Sparkle thought about it and said, “It does help considerably, thank you for the explanation Rosa…”
Everyone then followed Steven Stone to his camp, wanting to know who exactly he wants Sean to meet...
A figure looked down at them with red eyes, thinking to herself, Hashimoto, I found you here? With those peculiar creatures resembling horses? I'll hold off reuniting with you until I can find my brothers...
-[Space Room – Best of DragonBall Z Vol. II]-
Lance, Kotone, and Barry headed back to Sean's cottage, and were surprised that a lot of Sean's Pokémon were gathered at one location, a lake next to a waterfall.
Barry said, "Well I wonder what is going on to make all of Sean's Pokémon go...over...there..."
Barry's question was answered when the three trainers got a look at the waterfall, a purple vortex was over the waterfall.
They were greeted by Zekrom, who said, "Greetings Sirs Wataru, Barry, and Lady Kotone...Your timing is perfect, for you see, that is a portal to the Distortion World. I was preparing to enter, but I'm sure you want to accompany me, to meet with the one you were seeking a few days ago, correct?"
Kotone said to her friend's legendary Pokémon, "Yes we were, but...Who will look after Sean's Pokémon if you're away?"
Lance said, "I will..."
Everyone looked at him, with Barry saying, "What?! You?! Why do you want to look after Sean's Pokémon, Wataru?"
The dragon master chuckled as he answered, "Because Hashimoto-san is a very dear friend of mine, like how you two feel about him. Plus, I owe him one, so this is as good of an opportunity to repay him as it gets, now hurry on..."
Zekrom chuckled himself as he said, "Kaltrina and Kajin will help too, if they would be kind enough to do so."
The Gardevoir named Kaltrina was a Shiny Pokémon (and the adoptive daughter of Sean's Gallade and Gardevoir) and Kajin was a Black Charizard, a Shiny as well, walked forward as they responded to Zekrom's request.
They accepted, as Zekrom spoke to Kotone and Barry, "Alright, Lady Kotone, Barry, climb onto my back, and we shall be off..."
Barry and Kotone got on Zekrom's back as the Deep Black Pokémon flew up and headed straight through the portal, hanging on as tremendous forces and surges of energy closed in on them. They vanished into the vortex as it closed behind them, with Lance silently praying to god that they will be safe.
-[Distortion World - Pokémon Platinum]-
After flying through the vortex, Zekrom, Barry, and Kotone flew out the wormhole, Kotone and Barry had closed their eyes shut, when they opened them, it was a shock.
Their eyes gazed at floating chunks of land, littered with trees, twisted buildings, waterfalls flowing upwards, black and purple clouds of poison, just about anything one can imagine, and a swirling super-vortex of clouds in the background. They had arrived into the Distortion World, a dimension full of Anti-Matter, caused by its ruler, where the Laws of Physics they knew of, don't apply...
Barry and Kotone have never entered or seen the Distortion World before, only getting a vague idea from Sean's description about this place. Even Zekrom had no idea about what the Distortion World would be like, he spotted a sizable platform and flew there. When the DRAGON/ELECTRIC Type landed, Barry and Kotone hopped off, floating down to the ground.
Barry exclaimed, "W-whoa! That is weird..."
Kotone then added, "It is way too quiet for my tastes, I'm getting chills just looking at this place..."
Zekrom said to them, "The Distortion World's laws don't work the same here compared to Earth. Gravity is distorted all over the place, and time has no real meaning here. But, we are not here to admire the scenery..."
The Deep Black Pokémon looked up slightly, as he finished, "...We're here to meet an ally and friend..."
Barry and Kotone looked confused at Zekrom's gaze at nothing, until they turned around. And they saw him, a shadowy figure that was serpent-like with glowing red eyes and stripes along its body, making this creature look ominous. He was who Zekrom, Barry, and Kotone were looking for, the Ruler of the Distortion World and the embodiment of Anti-Matter itself as he spoke...
“Welcome to my ‘Fortress of Solitude’ everyone…”
"Giratina-sama..." Kotone uttered quietly...
-[Sky Peak Final Pass - Pokémon Mystery Dungeon; Explorers of Sky]-
Steven Stone and his Metagross lead them to a cave that was lit by a LED lamp and a campfire. Inside, were Steven's Skarmory and Aggron, but also four of Sean's Pokémon, his Scizor, Shiny Metagross, Shiny Sylveon, and his-...
"Tyranitar! I'm so glad you are okay, buddy..." Sean said as he hugged then petted Tyranitar.
Everyone was nervous at first, having known Cyrus' Tyranitar, and hearing the trainers describe the Armor Pokémon. But, they smiled with relief when they saw that Sean's Tyranitar was much more docile compared to Cyrus'.
Applejack looked at Steven and Sean's Metagross, then exclaimed, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hey Sean, why is your, uh, Metegrass, all silver and yellow, while uh…Die-go's is blue and grey?"
Twilight noticed as well, then added, "Yeah, why is that? I also noticed your Gyarados was red, while Akagi's was blue..."
Steven stuttered a little as he asked, "Ak-Akagi?! Team Galactic's leader?! He's here?"
Sean chuckled as he answered, "Yeah, Akagi is here, but I defeated him easily, Tsuwabuki-san...And to answer your question, Twilight-san...My Metagross and Gyarados are something we trainers call, a 'Shiny Pokémon'."
Rarity asked, "Shiny Pokémon? Why in Equestria would you call a Pokémon of a different color, a shiny?"
May added, "For a shimmering sound they give off when they appear. Their especially rare Pokémon, but the different coloration is a purely cosmetic instance, they're not better than a regular Pokémon in terms of strength. Some shiny Pokémon are not different from regular Pokémon at first glance, like a Gengar, while others are drastically different, like a Charizard being a coal black in color when they are normally a bright orange."
Fluttershy added in understanding, "Oh! I get it... It's like an animal being born albino, right?"
Sean snapped his fingers and nodded in confirmation, and said as Fluttershy beamed with delight that her hunch was correct, "Right on the mark, Fluttershy-san."
"Gah! My head hurts for some reason..." Rainbow Dash said, with the other ponies present agreeing.
Steven Stone looked around the cave, and noticed, "Hold up, there was another person with me. He's not here..."
-[Team Rocket?! - Pokémon Black & White]-
Sean jolted as he said, "Another person? Who else was with you?"
Twilight then remembered something, "Wait, I remembered hearing something about these mountains! I've heard about how some ponies who wander deeper into the mountains were never seen or heard from again, those that escaped were attacked by some kind of monster from what they describe it as..."
Brendan connected the dots, then added, "Meaning that whoever was with Tsuwabuki-sama could have wandered out of the cave and have gotten himself or herself in trouble..."
Rainbow Dash then said, "If that is the case, then I say we go to the center of this mountain range and save, whoever Daigo was with..."
Steven got a certain vibe and decided to say, "The other I was with...His name I believe is Yukinari..."
Sean sprayed water he was drinking all over his Scizor and Pinkie Pie, then coughed, "Yukinari?! As in Dr. Yukinari Oakido (Professor Samuel Oak), Daigo-san?!"
A little surprised, Steven replied, "H-hai, that is his name...I remember now!"
Sean then called back all his Pokémon, except Sparks and his Scizor, and raced out of the cave down the canyon deeper into the mountains, unintentionally leaving behind his Metagross behind.
Rosa tried to process what happened as she said, "Who-did...What? Wait! WAIT! WAIT FOR US, SENSEI!!!"
"What the heck man!" Rainbow added as she tried to give chase, nearly running into several jutting sections of the canyon walls.
Some of the others reacted the same way and after helping Steven Stone pack up the camp, hurried after Sean, his Pikachu and Scizor, to the center of the mountainous area...
They were completely unaware that they were being watched by a creature that stood proudly at the top of the cliffs of the canyon they were in...
Watching their every movements...
-[Indigo Plateau - Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver]-
Outside the borders of Canterlot, two guards were silently standing in their posts at the southern gate, standing guard for anyone suspicious, or the now wanted terrorist, Cyrus. They looked fresh with energy to spare, but in reality, they were very drowsy, from standing guard for five straight nights without sleeping at all. It also didn't help when they were put on high alert after what happened yesterday, the massive Time-Space tear in the sky.
Now they were starting to pass out from exhaustion, but one of them spotted a silhouette heading towards the gate. He nudged his co-worker awake when he started to dose off, and they both saw the figure more clearly (though details are still unnoticeable). The figure was obviously human, by stature and size, and from a glance, appeared to be male. The guards willed themselves awake with new found strength and pointed their spears at the human, who was thirty feet from them now.
One of the guards shouted, "HALT! Who goes there! State your name and business for entering the city of Canterlot!"
The guard shouting alerted nearby guards, one of them happened to be the Head of Security, and they immediately readied to apprehend the human outside the southern gate.
The other guard said to the human, "Are you the wanted criminal, Akagi?"
The guard's co-worker smacked him at the back of the head as he said quietly, "What's the matter with you? This human isn't the one called Akagi. He's too young to be that human the Princesses put out wanted posters of, plus, his hair is blue, this guy is brown."
The guard was right, the human was too young to be the ex-leader of Team Galactic, and he looked to be a year or two older than the human they learned to know as Sean, maybe three. He stood obediently thirty feet from the gate with his arms up, knowing to not try and make himself a threat to the alien creatures he sees before him.
The commotion attracted the attention of a number of Canterlot's citizens to the gate to see what was going on, and fifteen minutes later, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Discord saw a huge crowd gathered at the south gate.
Celestia thought, What is going on down there? It's like somepony was killed in the middle of the street to create a crowd like that!
A guard burst through the door, exclaiming, "You’re Highness! Urgent news from the Captain of the Royal Guard! A human was spotted walking to the southern gate! He's been apprehended and being held in the Southern Hold!"
Celestia feared the worst and reluctantly asked, "I...Is it...Akagi?"
The guard shook his head, "No...The report says that the human is clearly younger, a lot like that boy from yesterday, the one with that, 'Lucario' creature..."
About forty-five minutes later...
-[Pokémon Tower - Pokémon Red & Blue]-
Celestia, Luna, and Discord arrived at the Southern Gate, with possibly every pony in Canterlot around the scene, and already, rumors and stories about the human boy started to spread like a disease. The stories range from anything from the boy being the Angel of Death himself, to being a machine from the future sent to kill them all, to even being an alien from another planet (which he technically is). They all have in common that the human never said a single word, not even when he peacefully let himself get cuffed by the guards.
After getting through the citizens of Canterlot, the sisters and Discord were led by the Captain to where the human boy was being held. When the three saw the boy, they saw that the description the guards gave was spot on, he was clearly not a child like the four trainers she knew, but was closer to Sean's age than Cyrus', meaning he was in years of age, at around the range of his early to mid 20s.
A few of the notable, physical features the boy had was:
Brown, spiky hair, under a red hat similar to Sean's...
A yellow backpack...
And he had a white shirt with the number ‘96’ in red...
The expression on his face, and definitely his eyes, was a very hardened and serious look, much like Cyrus', but was giving off a gentler and compassionate feeling, almost like Sean's or even Fluttershy's. This made Celestia know, right off the bat, that this trainer was one of these kind-hearted trainers she was told about, ones that hold a great respect for others and loved Pokémon as true friends...
Celestia calmly spoke to the boy, "Greetings young man, my name is Princess Celestia..."
She pointed her hoof at Discord and said, "This is Discord, the Spirit of Chaos..."
Luna stepped forward and said, "And we are Princess Luna, Keeper of the Night..."
The boy said nothing, but it was obvious he was listening and taking the matter that he is in a world that seemed to belong to a five-year old girl's fantasy, surprisingly well.
Celestia continued, "We have no intentions to harm you, there are other humans like you here. However, I must ask you, Pokémon Trainer..."
The boy was visibly shocked that the creature before him knew about Pokémon and the fact he was a Pokémon Trainer, due to the fact that the first pony he saw freaked out when he sent out one of his Pokémon...
Celestia then asked the boy her question, "Are you going to be an enemy to my citizens here in Equestria?"
The boy stood up, and shook his head silently...
Celestia gave the silent motion for the guards to relax a little, then asked, "What is your name? I ask because, I have the strangest feeling I know some friends of yours..."
The boy was silent for a half minute, then replied with a single phrase in a familiar Japanese accent,
"...You can call me...Tajiri..."
-[Chargestone Cave - Pokémon Black & White]-
Sean, Sparks, and his Scizor were already deep into the mountain territory, and Sparks found their first clue at what happened to Professor Oak, a tattered notebook.
Sparks shouted to his trainer and Scizor, "Pika-Pika! Pikachu!"
Scizor noticed and nudged his trainer, who looked behind and said, "Sparks, you found a clue? Way to go buddy..."
The Pikachu smirked smugly as he scratched the crown of his forehead. The Mouse Pokémon then heard something and pointed down a direction of a cave nearby, large enough for a Wailord of all Pokémon to fit through. Sean walked over to the cave and put his hand next to his ear, listening for whatever lurks in the shadows of the cave. He headed straight through, just as his friends shouted at him to wait for them.
Rainbow Dash flew ahead into the cave to try to catch up to the trainer, while everyone else took a moment to catch a few breaths.
Applejack huffed as she said, "Jeez, Sean is a fast one, alright...*huff*...I'm barely keepin' up with him..."
Rosa responded in the same manner, "Y-yeah, you can...*huff*...thank the...*wheeze*...training he and...*puff*...his Pokémon go through..."
Fluttershy had something that was bugging her clear on her face, Steven noticed and asked, "Fluttershy, what's troubling you?"
The timid pegasus had a feeling she should not intrude on this, 'touchy' subject, but knew she had to ask, for Sean's sake...
She took a deep breath and asked, "I...I was just wondering...Why Sean is so attached to his hat? It seemed, precious, to him..."
Rosa thought about it, and began to reply, "Uhh...I am actually not too sure about that-"
~"It was a birthday gift from his grandfather, after he passed away from a clinical case of cancer..."~ a voice interrupted, surprising everyone present.
“Wh-what was that!” Rarity said in a surprised tone.
Twilight nervously ordered, "W-w-whoever y-you are...Show yourself!"
The voice responded, ~"We have already met-...Correction...My apologies, I merely forgot you were unaware of my abilities, I am Metagross, Sean's Metagross to be accurate..."~
Everyone's gaze turned to the shiny Iron Leg Pokémon, whose face was still akin to an emotionless robot.
Applejack asked the silver Metagross, "H-how did ya' do that? I thought you Polkamons only said your names, or something like that..."
Metagross' voice sounded again, but its mouth didn't move, ~"I am communicating with you telepathically...It was complicated to bypass the Communications Mana Matrix deep within your brain's, but I managed to succeed...Now I can telepathically transmit my vocal projections to your Social Communication Matrix, I apologize for the Cranial surges you felt while I was establishing a Psychokinetic Link earlier...The Cranial Surges were, as you would call them, 'headaches' I presume?"~
"I didn't know he could do that...that's so incredible..." Fluttershy thought aloud quietly.
Applejack said, "Wait...Those headaches from earlier? They were caused by you?! I oughta' give you a buckin' for that...Until I learn what kind of gibberish, gobbledygook you’re talkin' about..."
Pinkie hopped and said, "Well duh, Applejack...Metagross is saying that he used his psychic powers to make it easier for him to talk to us with his mind, by modifying our minds so that the psychic-y Pokémon can talk to us the same way he is right now..."
Everyone was shocked, Pinkie Pie's explanation made perfect sense, Sean's Metagross said, ~"The pink Earth Pony is correct. And for the record I have no gender, for I have no reproductive system. Explanations aside for now, for we have to follow my trainer and the pegasus called Rainbow Dash, for using my enhanced telepathy, I detected a dimwitted, but dangerous creature inside that cave, and I was unable to finish modifying Rainbow Dash's brain waves the same way I did to you..."~
Twilight and the others were surprised, but Twilight said, "O-oh, right, let's hurry then..."
The gang then hurried into the cave, as the same creature followed them to the cave, and decided to wait there on top of the cliff, waiting for the humans, Pokémon, and ponies to exit...
-[Pokémon Tower - Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green]-
Sean closed his eyes as he had ventured deep into the cave, guided by something that kept him from tripping or getting lost in the darkness, he can use aura like his Lucario. He can tell that he was getting close to where Professor Oak was by sensing his aura, his Scizor following close behind using ninja-like stealth to not draw attention to himself, and Sparks lay perched on Sean's shoulder. The Pikachu's ears perked up and said, "Pika?"
Sean noticed and asked, "Hmm? Do you hear something Sparks?"
His Pikachu was quiet for a couple seconds, and confirmed quietly, "Pika-chu!"
Sean gave a hand signal to his Scizor that told the Pincer Pokémon, 'When I give the word, pin down whoever is closing in...' The BUG/STEEL Type nodded and readied, and in an instant, Sean was tackled to the ground and then Scizor sprang into action, by grabbing and throwing his trainer's attacker to the wall. Sparks lit up the cave by grabbing and turning on Sean's lamp and revealed that it was Rainbow Dash who tackled Sean.
-[Turn Music Off]-
The pegasus rubbed her head as she said, "Ow...What the hay was that for! Why in Equestria would you run off like-...!"
Sean placed his hand over her mouth and used the other to place a finger over his mouth that shaped like an 'O', and said "Shh..."
Sparks turned the lamp off as Sean pointed to a light source further down the cavern. Rainbow Dash got the picture, and made a motion with her hoof that looked like she was zipping her mouth shut.
The four cautiously hurried over to the light source, which was revealed to be from a fire-pit, meaning this was maybe someone's home, and from the look around the fire, someone dangerous from the bones of unknown creatures littered the cave floor.
Rainbow Dash feared that some of the bones were from other ponies, as she whispered, "Uh Sean? I don't think you know, but something's telling me that we should wait for the others. You know, Strength in numbers in all..."
Sean said nothing as he found in a corner, a tied up Professor Oak, along with another human, who he recognized immediately.
"Huh?! Cornélia (Korrina)? She's here too?" he said quietly as he saw the young girl tied up like Professor Oak, but was clearly here longer than he was.
Professor Oak woke up as he said, "W-what? Huh? Hashimoto? Is that you?! It is you, good to see you again lad...Mind untying me and Ms. Cornélia if you would be so kind..."
Sean nodded, as he told Scizor to stand guard, he, Rainbow, and Sparks untied Professor Oak and Korrina, who was not awake at all.
Sean checked Korrina's vitals, and said with a breath of relief, "Thank goodness, Cornélia is just out cold, and she only has small scratches, but just to be sure, we should get her medical attention as soon as possible."
Rainbow said, "Yeah! You have a point, Sean...Let's get these guys out of here..."
She was interrupted by Scizor shouting loudly, "SCIIIIIII-ZORRRR!"
And then, an explosion sounded, along with the pained growl of a large creature.
-[Team Flare Appears - Pokémon X and Y]-
The creature was mostly covered in a thick plume of smoke, thanks to Scizor using his Flash Cannon attack, Scizor himself was in a battle posture that looked like he was ready to leap into a full-power charge.
Rainbow Dash gasped as the smoke cleared, revealing the creature, she said, "S-S-Sean...T-that's a mountain troll, one of the really nasty, flesh-eating ones. We've got to get out of here and warn our friends!"
Sean looked at the hideously grotesque creature as he put Korrina on his back, he said, "I agree, Sparks, blind it! Scizor, come on!"
Sparks responded with a confident, "Pika" and unleashed an Iron Tail right between the troll's eyes, disorienting the massive creature, as Scizor waited for everyone to escape, then he picked up Sparks and flew after their trainer.
The troll's vision cleared and saw his dinner was gone, it angrily roared in frustration and chased after the ones that stole his dinner.
-[Menu Theme - Metroid Prime]-
Everyone heard the angry bellow of the troll, making them all stop and the young trainers hugged each-other and the ponies that did the same, and vice-versa.
Steven grabbed a Poké Ball, ready for action as he asked, "Princess, what was that noise from?"
Twilight thought for a second, and said, "I...I...I don't know? But, whatever it was, it doesn't sound happy at all..."
Metagross spoke again, telepathically, ~"Sean and Rainbow Dash are heading right for us, along with Professor Oakido and another human. They are being chased by that idiot creature I sensed the brain waves of. Mr. Tsuwabuki, ready a trap to slow down the creature..."~
Steven heard and agreed as he sent out his Skarmory, and told it to ready Spikes when they were behind it. Sure enough, Sean and him carrying another human, Rainbow Dash, Professor Oak being carried by Sean's Staraptor, then Scizor carrying Sparks the Pikachu, raced past the gang, with Rainbow shouting, "Run!"
Everyone saw a hideous, humanoid creature wildly run up the cavern, Twilight and the other ponies immediately knew what that creature was and told everyone to run, Steven remained behind a short while to be sure the trap was set, then he got on Skarmory's back and flew to the group.
The troll saw more meat-bags for it to feast on and picked up speed, but as soon as it placed a foot at a specific spot on the cave floor, the ground erupted with explosions, causing the troll to scream in pain as the Spikes trap Steven's Skarmory set up, badly hurt the giant monster. Its skin was too tough for the Spikes to do any serious damage, like a grown human stepping on Jacks to compare, it was enough to stall the troll by maybe four minutes.
-[Battle! Team Flare - Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]-
The group got out of the cavern, only to see another troll walking out of a canyon, carrying three more screaming ponies in its arms. This troll saw them and noticed the old, white-clad human and the human girl with these newcomers, and knew they were stealing it and its cohort's meals. It got angry and roared at the group, Sean noticed the three ponies in this troll's arms, and knew he had to save them, then the angry troll from the cave came out and joined its partner in trying to catch all the new food that stumbled into their hideout.
Sean knew there wasn't enough time to send out any of his stronger Pokémon to combat the trolls, so he had to make due withe the three he had out, His Pikachu, Scizor, Staraptor, and Shiny Metagross.
Steven ordered his Metagross to rescue the captive ponies, while he rode Skarmory to confuse the trolls. Rosa was grabbed by one of them, blushing a bright red because its fingers were pressing against her chest. The troll opened its mouth hungrily, wanting to eat the human girl raw. Rosa screamed loudly in a panic, alerting Sean who panicked slightly at the sight of his friend/student about to be eaten, and quickly sprang into action.
Rosa closed her eyes tightly, with tears streaming down her face, at the thought she was going to be devoured by this ugly creature. But she opened her eyes when she heard someone shout angrily, "YOU PUT HER DOWN, NOW!!!"
She briefly saw her teacher draw out his katana and violently swung it against the troll's right leg, as his Scizor used Bullet Punch against the troll's skull. It shrieked in pain as the very sharp, Japanese sword cut deep into its thick skin with ease, where a regular sword wouldn't cut as far, and the shock from Scizor's attack made the troll drop Rosa from its grasp. The trainer from America screamed and closed her eyes as she fell, but felt that she landed on someone, and saw that her friend Sean caught her as she fell, and is now holding her, bridal position.
Sean, looked at Rosa and said, "Stay alert, Rosa-chan. I taught you to always be aware of your surroundings...Are you alright?"
Rosa said nothing and stared at her teacher, eyes wide with wonder, but managed to nod a yes.
Pinkie and the wild Gengar played all kinds of tricks on the other troll as Steven's Metagross rescued the three ponies. Sean's Metagross then unleashed a powerful Meteor Mash attack that sent the troll flying into the cliff face. These trolls were tough, tough enough to fight several Pokémon to a standstill, and it eventually became clear when the trolls managed to corner the humans, ponies and Pokémon.
-[Countdown to Destruction - Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]-
The trolls grinned and snarled with delight, and wiped the drool dripping from their mouths.
Rarity whined, "What a terrible way for us to die...Getting eaten by trolls, and the hideously monstrous ones at that..."
This didn't help calming down Fluttershy, Pinkie, the three ponies they rescued, Brendan, Rosa, and May.
Sean said, "You had to say that? You couldn't have put a positive twist to our imminent demise, Rarity-san?"
The trolls ready to charge forward and just eat them all here and now...
They lunged forward, everyone closed their eyes and silently said their goodbyes...
===
"I cannot linger any longer...Time to act now..."
===
-[The Shatterdome - Pacific Rim]-
A half-minute past, everyone noticed nothing happen, curious, everyone opened their eyes, and everyone saw that one troll was surrounded by a bluish light and the other troll looked at its partner-in-crime in a confused manner. The troll in the blue light was suddenly pulled back by an invisible force and was slammed around harshly, like a dog with a toy. Then they saw the troll's right arm stretched outwards as far as it could, then its arm twisted around, making the troll scream in pain and made gross sounds that made the ponies gag in disgust. Then, they saw the troll's head get pulled as far as it can go, and then violently twisted the neck, snapping the bones and severing the troll's spinal cord.
After such a sickening display was finished, the troll was levitated high into the air, then slammed violently to the ground, breaking every bone, and was dropped to the ground, lifeless. The other troll looked around frantically, wondering what caused its companion to die such a violent death.
One of the ponies said, with hope in his voice, "Did Princess Celestia save us? She must have to do that!"
Sean then sensed an overwhelming presence, it felt...familiar...
He thought silently, It...couldn't be...but there's no doubt, that is her presence I'm feeling...
Sean then looked down a canyon, and his eyes widened with shock as he shouted, "Scatter!"
Everyone fled in all kinds of directions, the troll noticed and tried to grab Twilight Sparkle and another mare, but the creature was hit by something hard...
Everyone looked back and saw Twilight and one of the captured ponies get chased by the troll, but then saw what can only be described as an aurora...laser?! It collided with the troll and sent it flying to a overhanging cliff face, the beast collided with the wall, with ice on its chest. The troll struggled to get up, but a stalactite broke loose and fell on top of the troll. Everyone looked away in fear, but heard the stalactite punch right through the troll's thick skull, and a gross sound that they dreaded to imagine. Then they saw the entire cliff collapse on the dead troll, burying it under several tons of rock...
Everyone tried to process what just happened, Twilight thought, I-It couldn't have been Celestia to do that...She never was that violent, and she never killed anypony!!!
Everyone's gaze went to the canyon where that attack came from, it was heavy with smoke and dust.
Brendan said, "I don't know much about Equestrian magic, or magic in general...But, I know for a fact that was not from Celestia-hime. That was definitely a Pokémon’s move we saw..."
Sean added, "Yeah Yūki-san, and that attack was Aurora Beam, an ICE Type attack, an especially powerful one at that..."
Rosa got the idea and added, "There is only one kind of Pokémon that can unleash an Aurora Beam like that...and that's a Legendary Pokémon!"
Sean continued, "There are three Legendary Pokémon that can learn Aurora Beam, but I have a feeling I know who it was..."
-[OPENING MOVIE - Pokémon Crystal]-
When the dust cleared, they saw a silhouette of a quadruped creature that had a flowing mane, like Celestia. When light shined on the creature, everyone (except for Sean, Professor Oak, and Steven Stone) was astonished at what they saw.
It was a blue and white, mammalian-like creature with a crystal, hexagonal crest on top of its head and two protrusions. White, diamond-shaped patterns are along the sides of its body, and two, streamer-like tails continuously wave in the wind and arc along the sides of its body. Its huge, purple mane flowed like Celestia or Luna's, but it gave a distinct look that, as many noted, resembled an aurora. Its eyes were sharp looking, and had red irises, making this creature look very intimidating, and a small protrusion under its chin. Its powerful legs had small paws, like a dog or cat's. It was also very big, slightly taller than Celestia, and from the looks of the ground underneath its paws, also was rather heavy in weight.
This creature was, in everyone's opinion, a stunningly beautiful creature, that seemed to have a majestic grace that rivaled Celestia's, and a ferocious aura greater than a dragon's. Rarity was captivated by the beauty of the creature that was undeniably a Pokémon, and in her mind, she was already planning a fashion line modeled after the Pokémon she sees before her now.
Rosa stuttered as she said, "I-i-i-i-i-is that...Suicune?! The Legendary, North Wind of Kansai?!"
Fluttershy said curiously, "Suicune? Is that its name?"
Twilight thought the same and said, "If that is its name, it is fitting...And...Legendary North Wind?"
Sean then say, "Hai, Rosa-chan, that is Suicune, The Aurora Pokémon...an old acquaintance of mine..."
Suicune stared at everyone, blinking only once, everyone felt a slight tinge of nervousness, like, and Suicune is judging their worth (which it is).
Fluttershy slowly walked to Suicune to thank the Aurora Pokémon for saving them from the trolls, and to befriend the fierce, but gentle looking creature. But, much to her dismay, Suicune let out an extra-loud bellow that could be heard for miles...
"CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!"
"Eeep" Fluttershy squeaked as she covered her ears, along with everyone else.
Then they saw Suicune jump high and far over their heads, down into the plains of Equestria, at an unbelievable speed which seemed impossible for a creature so big and heavy. As the Legendary Pokémon sped down into the magical land it found itself in, powerful gusts of wind blew from the north and trailed behind the Legendary WATER Type.
Sean heard a feminine voice he recognized as Suicune's speak to him in his mind, "Hashimoto-san, I am glad you and your friends are alright, Entei and Raikou are in this land so I must search for them. I'll see you again soon..."
-[Let's Go Home - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
Everyone was still amazed at the magnificent Pokémon, and haven't said a single word for well over a minute...
Applejack managed to break the silence, by saying, "Whoa nelly...I've never seen anything like this Suite-cune feller. It was like lookin' at Celestia herself..."
Rarity added, "Agreed Applejack, I never knew such a gorgeous creature existed in their world..."
Rainbow Dash admitted, "Okay, I'll admit it...That Suicune thing is 90 percent cooler than I am..."
Sean glanced back at Brendan, who was rubbing his arm in its cast, and then at the unconscious Gym Leader on his back, he knew that they had to head back home now...
He said, "Why don't we head back to Ponyville now, we got some very tired Pokémon and folks here who need rest..."
Everyone agreed, and so, the three ponies they rescued, Steven Stone, and Professor Oak headed back for Ponyville with everyone else. Sean decided for now, to keep what Suicune said to him under wraps until the time was right.
-[Pokémon League (Night) - Pokémon Diamond & Pearl]-
It was around sundown when they all returned to Ponyville...The three ponies they rescued were actually from Ponyville, they went hiking around the mountains, and as such were captured by that troll Suicune killed. They thanked the humans and Pokémon for saving them, and were reunited with their families. Korrina was placed in the hospital, where thanks to the medical staff and Twilight Sparkle, Korrina was checked out and there were no injuries on any kind, aside from a couple scratches. Steven elected to remain in the hospital to look after the Gym Leader in case she woke up.
May headed back to Rarity's, Brendan headed back to Fluttershy's, Professor Oak stayed with Twilight and Spike at the library, and Rosa and Sean headed back to Sweet Apple Acres with Applejack. Hours past and night had already fallen over the peaceful little town, everyone slept soundly at the sound of crickets singing in the moonlight...
Everyone...except Sean...
-[The End - Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire]-
He watched the night sky while resting back against his Charizard, who slept like a baby Charmander. He noticed the night sky was the same as it was back at his home on Earth, a few shooting stars streaked against the dark sky, just like Earth (Aside from the cracked vortex in the sky). It was a relatively peaceful scene, but Sean still had a look of worry over his face, he was still missing some Pokémon of his, and he had not found any of Rosa's that still remained missing.
He also knew that their supplies were getting dangerously low, all their healing medicines for their Pokémon. While they still had berries to fill in as substitutes, he knew they would not be enough...
But then, he thought, Since Applejack lives on a farm, and Pinkie Pie seemed to be into gardening, I think I can ask them if they can use the berries I have to restock our supplies...Yeah, I'll do that tomorrow, I'll ask them tomorrow...But...
He held a Poké Ball to his face, and had a deep thought about something he remembered on his Pokémon journey...
FLASHBACK!
====================================================================================================
-[Team Flare's Secret HQ - Pokémon X & Y]-
Though at the moment his memories were blurry, he remembered defeating a red-headed man, and the things he said, "...The strength to protect, huh? But, what are you really protecting? A tomorrow that will only end up being worse than today?"
"..."
"You're as strong as ever. But... It's too late! There's no hope for you now! Go down to the lowest floor, and see for yourself!"
"It's over... Fools with no vision will continue to befoul this beautiful world. They will go on until the only thing left to do is squabble over the remaining scraps of hope..."
"..."
Then a scene played out, where he was in a dark room, it resembled an anti-matter fusion room. He was wearing different clothes, and he was with a boy with a Pikachu, two girls. The same red-haired man, who was wearing a cybernetic suit with three 'sensors' flying like bugs attached to a pack on his back, he was on his knees in defeat, with Sean and the boy with the Pikachu looking at him with disgusted glares...
One of the girls, one wearing a pink shirt, said to the man, "Um… Know what I think? Even if there's only a little bit of something, it's still best to share it. Even you managed to use Mega Evolution… That's because Gyarados shared its power with you, didn't it? And not just Gyarados, but your other Pokémon, too…"
He then remembered vaguely something the other girl and the boy with a Pikachu said to the man, but the man replied in a melancholy tone, "If that were possible, all wars would have ended long ago! I can only see one future! One where selfish, foolish humans think about nothing other than themselves and steal more and more from one another... It's a tragic future!"
END OF FLASHBACK!
====================================================================================================
-[Pokémon League (Night) - Pokémon Diamond & Pearl]-
Sean bit the bottom of his lip, hard enough to draw a little blood and rubbed his side where the scar was, he remembered that Cyrus wasn't the only one to get under his skin...
There was another, whose words really got into the teenage trainer's mind and heart, filling them with doubt. His words were twisted, but they were mostly 100% true, and he knew that this man's prediction about mankind was starting to look like it was coming true...and it also gave the words Cyrus said to him years ago some solid ground...and he hated, but also felt sorry for this man...
He bitterly uttered the man's name as he drifted into sleep, "...Lysandre...あなたは卑劣なファック..."
-[Space Room – Best of Dragonball Z, Vol. II]-
Luna felt the dreams and thoughts Sean was giving off in the Dreamscape, she knew from these energies that there was something really troubling him.
She thought, You have much turmoil in your kind heart, Sir Sean. Let me see what troubles you so…
The Princess of the Night entered the human's mind and thanks to the dream magic she perfected, saw Sean's entire life through his eyes, from birth to just before he was sucked into Equestria. Luna saw all his accomplishments and to say she wasn't impressed would be a horribly wrong assumption.
She saw various highlights of his life, like;
The day he got his first Pokémon, in a laboratory with a quirky looking scientist...
The battle against Cyrus in the Distortion World...
The day he met Rosa and took her under his wing in a quiet city surrounded by trees...
And when he fought a young, green-haired man and a white dragon, and Sean had a black dragon on his side as he fought in what Luna assumed was a huge castle's throne-room...
Then...Luna saw what was troubling the young trainer so much...
An enormous, polished, other-worldly looking machine rising from the ground in the center of a small town through a monitor. Then, she saw the same room, where a dead, white tree, and a black cocoon were hooked up to something, and he was with another boy, that resembled the young man that walked into Canterlot earlier that day. Next, she saw the tree and cocoon come alive, taking the forms of a massive deer and a wyvern-bird hybrid. Then the same man Sean had earlier named Lysandre, and the vicious battle against him...
Luna was taken aback by what she witnessed, and said, "My word, you had accomplished more in such a short while, than anypony does in a lifetime. My sister must know about this..."
With that, she left the Dreamscape, missing a crucial piece of Sean's memory, involving him seeing a massive cave painting, depicting a behemoth with the "Ω" symbol on its arms, and a leviathan with the "α" symbol on its forehead, battling in a colossal struggle that depicted the world being destroyed under the clash between these titans...

Our stallion that hiked in the mountains is currently resting in a hospital in Rainbow Falls, recovering from his injuries. He earlier had a run-in with his pursuer and had received nasty scarring.
As night fell, he was getting a few last-minute check-ups with the doctor for the night to not really be disturbed until morning.
"Okay...Things should be alright for now...I'll see you in the morning for check-ups." The doctor said to our stallion.
"Th-thanks doc..." He said to her, "...Are you sure this place is...s-safe...?"
"I guarantee, you are perfectly safe here..." she said to him, "...and we do have security guards ready if there is someone after you, as well as a spell that blocks teleportation in and out of the hospital grounds. Good night..."
"G-good night..." the stallion replied, trying to relax for the night.
The room was empty, there was no one else, not another patient, they were all in other hospital rooms, and a few of the doctors remain at the staff's break room...
Our pony tries to sleep, noting that aside from the air conditioning or water pipes, the room was very quiet, quiet enough for him to begin drifting asleep...
-[Your Choice: Cheery Music Box]-
Until, he began to hear a music box play a beautiful and happy, but otherwise eerie melody...
His eyes shot open wide as his vision darted across the room, searching for the source of the music. His heart leaped into his throat when he heard what sounded like a little filly giggling, the laughter echoed throughout the room.
He tried to turn on the light switch on the lamp beside him, but it wouldn't turn on, and he knew that it should be working because he saw one of the staff pull it out of the box and put in a new light bulb. When it became clear the lamp won't turn on, he hit the 'call nurse' button repeatedly, noting how it wasn't making a buzzing sound as he pressed the button.
~"Why did you leave me...?"~
The earth pony jolted and stiffened when he heard what sounded like a little girl asking in a ghostly whisper.
"W-w-who a-a-are y-y-y-y-u-you?" He stuttered nervously, his heartbeat racing at an alarming rate. He figured the hospital's heart monitoring spell was his only chance to call for help, fearing who else might be there...
~"Why do you ask...? Are you afraid of me...?"~
"You bet I'm afraid...afraid that you might be-" He said before the girl's voice interrupted...
~"A monster...? A demon...? The Devil...?"~ She asked as the figure of a ghostly human girl walked into the moonlight, continuing ~"You know...monster is a relative term to those who don't know how things in nature work...to a rabbit, a dog is a monster...to a mouse, a snake is a demon...to a horse..."~
She giggled again, with an unsettling grin forming on her face, our pony's primal instincts of self preservation kicked into overdrive as he felt a horrible chill run up his spine. He got the feeling that there was something behind him, and slowly, nervously, turned around...
~"...a dragon is a devil that fears another devil..."~
The stallion started to breath heavily as he stared face-to-face with a creature as pitch black as outer space, the light not showing any distinguishable features aside from the silhouette of some kind of massive, insect-like thing, with two glowing, green eyes he recognized in an instant. He began to whimper, the ghostly girl began to giggle, and the insect-like creature hissed like a crocodile as it looked at him...
...hungrily...
The girl's voice said innocently, slightly distorting at the end, ~"...no matter where you go...I will always find you because I bit you...my prey..."~

The same doctor was calmly walking to the earth pony's room to investigate a series of 'call nurse' beacons rapidly turning on and off, then the heart monitoring spell informing her that his heart is beginning to beat at a faster pace than normal.
"Heh...I've never met a patient who's so paranoid that he rapidly presses the 'call nurse' button a mere 5 minutes after I left..." the young doctor said quietly to herself, then whispered in a somewhat serious tone, "...but the spell alerted me that his heart-rate is increasing to rather worrisome levels, the kind usually associated with someone in a perpetual state of panic-..."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
She jolted in surprise at that blood-curdling scream as her train of thought was interrupted, then she received an alarming signal from the spell. It told her that the patient she was just thinking about recorded that his heart-rate spiked three-times faster than normal, and then it flat-lined...
She was quick to respond as she heard the security guards chatter over the radio to head for the room where the source of the screaming was located. As soon as she arrived at the door, she was about to open it, until she heard a peculiar sound...
She heard what sounded like animalistic snarling, and remembered from her brief time as a zoo veterinarian, what a lion eating meat sounds like, and she was hearing those sounds right now.
She caught all of that in a time span of 7 seconds, and opened the door swiftly. Inside, she saw something much larger than a minotaur hunched over, eating a white skeleton covered in smeared blood streaks, the skull, limbs, and tail were missing, but she had a feeling the bones belong to a pony. The thing looked like a monstrous insect that would only exist in science-fiction or fantasy stories, and from the plus six legs she saw, it could be some monstrous form of a centipede...
The creature stopped feasting and looked at her directly, two blood-red, reptile-looking eyes stared into her's and it hissed like a serpent, baring fangs like those found in both snakes and centipedes. The doctor gasped and quickly shut the door as the creature began to move towards her, beginning to be just as panicked as the earth pony she-...
"WH-WH-WHAT TH-THE HECK WAS THAT?!" she exclaimed, until the security guards arrived and burst open the door, despite the doctor's insistence that they shouldn't.
"YIKES!!! What on Earth...!"
The doctor saw the room was empty, and the patient was lying in the bed, or actually, sitting straight up as the guards checked the coast is clear.
"Hey doctor..." the earth pony asked, "...Why did you wake me up? I thought I had to get rest to heal...?"
"Oh! I-I'm sorry...it's just..." the doctor said as she tried to search for the creature she saw earlier.
"Are you...looking for something?" the earth pony asked, to which the doctor replied, "O-oh, yes, I was...looking for anything that may have made you nervous, you somehow tripped the hospital's heart-monitoring spell..."
"I'm sorry about that, I never really was a fan of horror, and whatever was chasing me earlier, looked like it was from some horror show..." he said, albeit with an almost undetectable sense of suspicion, "...every so often, I get these horrifyingly realistic nightmares that, every so often, I find myself with these odd marks when I wake up..."
"Al-alright, good night..." she said as she followed the security guards out of the room, she thought as she headed to the front desk, There's something...off...about him...
When looking into the heart-monitoring spell on a whim, she found something very unsettling...
According to the spell, the earth pony's heartbeat was not registering period, like, it stopped altogether, something only possible for a pony whose...clinically dead...
The 'earth pony' we've followed was relaxing in his bed, thinking to himself, "The doctor may have caught on that I was off, I should've said 'Equestria' instead of 'Earth' when I feigned surprise. I've always wanted to add an alicorn's power and form to my collection, but because of 'him', I could never set foot in this dimension. But for now, I'll have to bide my time and collect a few more prizes, especially since I've caught the scents of humans and...Pokémon..."
The earth pony sat up on his bed, revealing a huge, jagged scar (more like an open wound) running along his back, something black and soupy swirling within the scar as it closed up and faded, like it wasn't there to begin with. As his skin crawled and slithered like snakes underneath, he opened his eyes, revealing two red, snake-like eyes...
"This could prove troublesome...especially if the Silver Sea Guardian is here..."
-[Hyrule Field – The Legend of Zelda; Ocarina of Time]-
Morning rose slowly, a rooster called in the morning call that roosters do by instinct. Rosa got up from the bed she used in Applejack's guest room, and tied her long hair into her preferred hair style, and got dressed. She walked downstairs and saw Applejack cooking breakfast, along with the other members of Sweet Apple Acres.
She saw Granny Smith, Applejack's grandmother, an elderly pony who was a part of the reason Ponyville was founded in the first place...
Big McIntosh, Applejack's older brother, a very strong stallion who does most of the heavy work at the farm, Rosa thought his vocabulary was, 'limited', because he was shy, which he was she later found out...
And then, there's Apple Bloom, the youngest of the family and Applejack's little sister, she was really hyper and curious, and one thing she noticed about her, was that she had nothing on her flank, when all the other ponies she met had something they call, a 'Cutie Mark'...
And finally, she saw the family's pet dog, Winona the Border collie, resting next to her Arcanine (who was twice as big as Big McIntosh).
The Apple Family noticed Rosa and said in unison, "Mornin' Rosa!"
Winona barked and licked Rosa's cheeks in affection, then Rosa's Arcanine pushed his trainer onto the floor, doing the same thing Winona was doing.
"G-Gah! Arcanine! P-please stop! That tickles! Ha-ha-ha-haa!" Rosa struggled to say as Arcanine's tongue tickled the young girl, he eventually stopped and was petted by Rosa.
Granny Smith asked her guest, "Now where's that young feller who was wit' ya', he needs to eat bre'kfast as much as anypony else..."
Big Mac added, "Eeyup..."
Rosa thought for a moment, then answered, "Most likely outside, asleep...He didn't like the idea of sharing the bed with me, and for my sake, elected to sleep outside..."
She put her fingers to her chin, then said, "It is a little weird, lately he's been sleeping in, when before, he's usually the first one up, punching trees or boulders with his Pokémon, training alongside them...hmm..."
Apple Bloom said to the human, "Oh! Oh! Oh! Rosa, why don't you an' me go lookin' for Sean?"
Rosa thought that was a great idea, and said, "Sure thing Apple Bloom, but first..."
Apple Bloom knew what Rosa meant and looked at her family with pleading eyes. After discussing it for a short while, Applejack, Big Mac, and Granny Smith gave their answer...
"Alright Apple Bloom, you can go. But, only if you're careful, and you put on a helmet." Applejack said for the whole family.
Apple Bloom beamed brightly and put on a helmet, and followed Rosa and Arcanine outside.
Apple Bloom asked Rosa, "Why would I need a helmet for, Rosa?"
-[Pokémon Main Theme - Super Smash Bros. Brawl]-
Rosa smirked mischievously as she picked up the filly, and said, "If we're going to move at blinding speeds, Apple Bloom..."
Rosa then placed Apple Bloom on Arcanine's back, then she got on behind Apple Bloom.
She continued, "...On a giant wolf that can run over 100 miles per hour!"
The filly gulped as Rosa gave the command to her Pokémon, "Arcanine, let's look for Sean...Now, Extreme Speed!"
Arcanine roared proudly, "ARRRRRKKKKKKK-NIINNNEEEE!" then sprinted at a speed that can rival Rainbow Dash...
To be continued...
