Rainbow Dash let out a groan, "About time," "Relax Rainbow," said Acerola with a smile. "My Uncle forgets a lot of things but it's not easy to forget about you," Acerola giggled. "Very funny Acerola," scoffed Rainbow Dash. As Nanu walked in the station, Pinkie Pie ran up to him excited, "Hey Mr. Nanu!" Nanu groaned, "And here comes the noise again," "Aww don't be like that silly filly," said Pinkie jumping. "Whatever," said Nanu rolling his eyes. "Hey Uncle Nanu what took you so long?" asked Acerola. "Sorry had some business to deal with," answered Nanu. "Stupid Team Cosmos was causing trouble again," "Ooh did you beat them?" asked Pinkie. "Sent them running and crying," answered Nanu with a smirk. "Wow are you really that strong?" asked Pinkie. "Well he IS the island kahuna," answered Acerola. "Yeah whatever," said Nanu. "By the way I found more of those ponies," added Nanu. Upon hearing this Rainbow Dash's eyes widened as she ran up to Nanu. "WHERE!?" she asked. "Relax their fine," answered Nanu. "They got some pretty powerful trainers protecting them," Rainbow Dash sat down wiping her forehead, "Thank Celestia," "i told them to meet you if they wanted to learn more," said Nanu looking at Acerola. "Oh so are they coming?" asked Acerola. "Should be," answered Nanu with a shrug. Suddenly the Police station's doors swung open as a women in a black suit walked in, "Mr. Nanu they've appeared," she said in a serious tone. Nanu grunted, "Well I'll be damned," "Let's go then," he said taking out his Pokeball. "What appeared?" asked Pinkie Pie curiously. "Oh I'm sorry Mr. Nanu I didn't know you had company," said the woman looking at Rainbow and Pinkie. "Yeah," answered Nanu. "Hi I'm Pinkie Pie!" said Pinkie waving. "Pinkie Pie?" asked the woman. "Yeah and that's Rainbow Dash," said Pinkie pointing a hoof towards her friend. The woman walked over, "You two don't happen to know Starlight and Fluttershy do you?" asked the woman. "Wait Fluttershy and Starlight!?" screamed Rainbow. "Where are they!?" she asked. "So you do know them," said the woman. "Don't worry their safe with us," said the woman. "Um who are you exactly?" asked Pinkie. The woman gasped, "Oh I'm sorry I should've introduced myself," "I'm Anabel," answered the woman. "Chief of the International Police," Anabel answered. Suddenly an explosion was heard outside the station followed by terrified screams causing Rainbow to jump, "Um what was that?" asked Rainbow. "Hey Missy if you want to protect those people I suggest we move," said Nanu. Anabel nodded as she started towards the door. "Wait we're coming too," said Rainbow Dash. "No don't its too dangerous for you two," said Anabel. "But it's boring in here," whined Pinkie. "I said no," said Anabel. Suddenly someone outside screamed, "ULTRA BEAST!!!!!" "Um what?" asked Pinkie. Anabel bit her lips, "Ugh fine you can come," "Yes!" said Rainbow. "But you're staying out of the danger zones and sticking with Acerola," said Nanu. "Not what I had in mind but good enough for me," said Pinkie. With that the five ran out of the station towards the danger. Twilight's magic had worked as she and her friends later found themselves just outside Po town. Upon laying their eyes on the environment around them, they saw nothing but gloomy an dark. "This is Po town?" asked Luna. "Seems kind of dull," said Symon. "Guys look," said Amber pointing to a nearby patch of grass with Aether Foundation members and Police officers trying to calm a group of people who were running around with terrified looks on their faces. "What's going on here?" asked Spike. "Looker!" a woman's voice called out. The group turned towards the voice to find five figures running towards them two of which Twilight, Luna, and Spike recognized. "Anabel!" Looker said as the group came up to join them. "What are you guys doing here?" asked Anabel. "Sun managed to catch one of the two Celesteelas," answered Looker. "But Team Cosmos got the other one," Looker responded. "Rainbow Dash Pinkie Pie is that really you?" asked Twilight. "Yep it's us," said Rainbow Dash confidently. "Mr. Nanu was a nice man," said Pinkie. "Nanu?" asked Larry. "Yeah," Nanu answered. "It's been a while old friend," said Looker. "Whoa you know each other?' asked Pinkie. Suddenly a woman's scream was heard coming from the patch of grass. "Battle now introductions later," said Gladion taking out his Pokeball. As the group got ready to defend themselves, a woman carrying a baby limped out from the patch of grass. Luna gasped to see that she was covered in multiple cuts on her arms, legs, and face. She looked up at the group and began limping toward them. "Help me please!" she pleaded. "Twilight let's go!" said Rainbow. Twilight nodded as she and Rainbow flew out so help the woman. "Easy there we got ya," said Rainbow putting her hooves on the woman. The two quickly but carefully helped the woman get to the group. The two laid the woman down on the grass. She looked at Twilight and cried, "Thank you," Twilight smiling wiped the blood of her face with her hooves. The grass began rustling behind them and the woman began to tremble, "No!" she screamed. She turned towards Twilight again crying, "Please don't let it get my baby," Twilight was confused but understood what the woman wanted. With a determined look she nodded. Just then out of the grass, a small creature jumped out and began to dance around. The creature was only a foot tall and looked paper thin yet it's body seemed to sparkle. There were yellow markings on it's arm and six yellow lines was hanging out of the creature's neck. It had a small head with a star shaped cut out in the center. "No!" the woman sobbed. Twilight wrapped her hooves around her and glared at the creature. "What is that!?" asked Spike. "Rotom!" Amber called out. "Right here!" said Rotom scanning the creature. "Kartana the Drawn Sword Pokemon Grass Steel type, This Ultra Beast came from the Ultra Wormhole. It seems not to attack enemies on it's own, but its sharp body is a dangerous weapon in itself," Just then the Kartana let out a small screech just as three more Kartanas jumped out and joined in with the one "There's three more!?" asked Symon. The Kartana hissed at the group. However just as the middle Kartana laid it's eyes on Twilight it began to jump around like crazy as if it was freaking out. The Kartana ran at Twilight and woman. Twilight shoved the woman to the left with her magic only to realize that the Ultra Beast wasn't aiming for the woman but her. The Kartana jumped and zipped past Twilight at an alarming rate knocking her backwards. The Kartana landed behind the group and hissed. "Twilight are you alright?" asked Luna. "Yeah I-" But just as she spoke a strong pain shot up her cheek. She winced and put her hoof on her cheek. When removing her hoof, her eyes widened to she blood dripping out of the cut the Kartana made. "What?" she asked. Shocked, Twilight didn't even notice the other Kartanas charging towards her. As the Kartanas surrounded her, Twilight focused her mind on her horn. But the Kartanas were too fast as the one on the left lunged knocking her to the left followed by the Kartana on the right, finally being knocked down by the forth. "Twilight!" Amber called out. Luna inspected Twilight only to find multiple cuts covering her body. "It hurts so bad," whimpered Twilight. "Hang in there Twilight," said Luna picking her up with her magic. "Symon," said Amber. "I know," said Symon taking out his Pokeball. "Yanmega!" yelled Symon tossing his Pokeball. "Sylveon!" yelled Amber following his example. Both Larry and Gladion followed by throwing out their Pokeballs. "Golisopod!" yelled Larry tossing his Pokeball. "Silvally!" yelled Gladion. Each of the four Pokemon popped out and got into battle stance waiting for their trainers orders. "Let's do this!" yelled Symon. Then the four Kartanas jumped up in unison and lunged at the trainers and their Pokemon.
