Chatper 22: New Changes to an Old Life

So that was it, now that Team Cosmos was defeated the group had a victory celebration in Iki Town with Team Cosmos. After the party the ponies of Equestria, Spike, and Luna decided to stay behind in Alola with Symon and Amber as they finished up what was left of their Island Challenge as well as watch them encounter and catch new Pokemon to add to their team. Meanwhile Celestia, Cadence, Shining Armor, Sunburst, and Ember returned to Equestria for reasons of their own. Chrysalis and the Changeling hive were carefully watched over by Thorax and the reformed Changelings while Celestia and Cadence were away. Keeping his word Nebula returned the Beasts to their proper world and disbanded Team Cosmos for good. Wanting to start over from scratch he released his Pokemon and traveled alone Alola for a while starting a new Team he could rely on. In the end he ended up nominated as the newly formed Bug Type Trial Captain by the Tapu of Melemele. Meanwhile as Symon and Amber finished up Hapu's Grand Trial on Poni Island, the time came for them to face the Pokemon League on Ula Ula Island.

"Finally done," said Symon wiping his forehead.

"That Totem Kommo-o was no walk in the park," said Amber.

"I know that," said Symon.

"Man I really enjoyed watching you guys complete your Island Challenge," said Spike.

"My heart was racing for every trial you two took on," said Pinkie.

"I do hope those poor Pokemon are ok," said Fluttershy.

"Don't worry they'll live," said Symon.

"Ok," said Fluttershy.

"So are you guys nervous for the league?" asked Rainbow.

"Of course," answered Amber. "It's the biggest trial yet,"

As the group began to walk out of the Pokemon Center in Tapu Village they noticed the transport that carried them up Mt. Lanakila was missing from it's spot. "Maybe someone is using it," said Spike. Just then the transport came down from above carrying Gladion and Lillie.

"Hey it's Gladion and Lillie," said Symon.

"So you came," said Gladion. "I must say I have to thank you all for what you've done for Alola.

"No problem big guy," said Rainbow confidently.

"No really and we decided that there is no better way to thank you than a battle," said Lillie.

"A battle huh," said Symon. "We gladly accept,"

Gladion smiled, "Well than no holding back," "Hau gave both of us our own Z-Ring so we'll be able to show you both our REAL power," said Gladion pulling out a Pokeball.

"We're gonna enjoy every moment of this," said Amber pulling out her Pokeballs.

All four of them called out their Pokemon engaging the battle. The ponies and Spike watched in awe as Symon and Amber battle Gladion and Lillie in complete sync. In the end Symon and Amber were victorious with the ponies cheering for them.
"I must say I'm impressed," said Gladion returning his Lucario into it's ball.

"These two certainly have grown since the last time we've met," said Lillie. "You two are taking on the league right good luck," said Lillie smiling.

"Thanks," said Amber.

"I'll admit the league is difficult but with a team like that you'll surely beat it," said Gladion.

"Thanks," said Symon.

"Well I guess we'll see you guys around," said Lillie.

"Be sure to keep those ponies safe," said Gladion.

"We will," said Amber waving as the two walked off towards the Pokemon Center. "Come on let's go!" said Amber jumping on the transport. Symon shrugged as he and the ponies followed her on. The transport carried the group not to the peak but rather a cliff near by an entrance to a cave. Chasing after his girlfriend, Symon sprayed Max Repels on himself and the ponies to prevent encounters while the walked around in the cave. Navigating wasn't easy as they thought it would be and ended up taking them a while before they ended up in an open field not far from another transport. "Come on we're almost there," said Amber.

"Geez will you slow down Amber," said Symon. "I know you're excited but we can't...." Symon's statement was suddenly cut off when the sound of rustling grass was heard coming from behind them.

"What was that?" asked Rarity jumping back.

Suddenly from the tall grass, two creatures lept up and in front of Symon and Amber. Both were pretty small but the one that landed in front of Amber was a small fox with white fur and six tails. It's blue eyes seemed to sparkle like ice and it's fur seemed to glisten. The one that landed in front of Symon was a small creature but with a round back. It had a tan underbelly and was white like the fox. The round shell on it's back looked almost hard enough to break rocks.

"Aww their so cute," said Fluttershy.

"What are they?" asked Amber.

"Rotom scan," Symon called out.

"Roger that," said Rotom popping out of Symon's bag.

Scanning both Pokemon, Rotom flew up to the group and read off the entries, "Sandshrew Mouse Pokemon Alolan form Ice Steel Type, Sandshrew have historically lived in desert areas. But the frequent eruptions of nearby volcanoes drove the Sandshrew to abandon the desert and migrate to snowy mountains, where they took on this form,"

"Sandshrew huh?" said Symon.

"Vulpix Fox Pokemon Alolan Form Ice Type, It is said that Vulpix came to the Alola region together with humans, but the fox Pokemon moved to the snowy mountain peaks to avoid the normal habitats of other Pokemon, and thus it ended up taking on this form,"

"Cool," said Amber.

"Really?" asked Symon looking over to her not amused at the pun she just made.

"It wasn't intended," said Amber.

"Well anyway I still have an empty slot in my party so I might as well catch this Sandshrew," said Symon.

"Yeah same with the Vulpix," said Amber. "Besides I've wanted a regional variant to add to my team,"

"Good luck you two," said Twilight.

"Go Crabominable!" said Symon throwing his Pokeball.

"Let's go Minior!" said Amber throwing hers. Upon both balls opening, a giant crab with a white exoskeleton and a smile with two front teeth popped out of Symon's ball while a small floating rock with five small white studs popped out of Amber's ball.

"Crabominable use Earthquake!" said Symon. The Crabominable stomped it's foot on the ground hard causing it to shake knocking both the Sandshrew's and Vulpix's health low enough for easy catching. Although both Alolan forms struggled to get up after the attack, Amber's Minior just hovered above the ground as if nothing had happened.

"Hey thanks for the help," said Amber.

"No problem," said Symon. Suddenly the Vulpix got to it's feet as it let out a cry that echoed through the fields. "What's it doing?" asked Symon. Suddenly from the left a cloud of dust appeared revealing another Alolan Vulpix.

"What the hell?" asked Amber.

"I think it just called for help," said Symon.

"Oh great now I gotta take one out," said Amber. However it seems as if the Vulpix's help knew what she was planning and charged at her. "Dodge it!" Amber called out. Her Minior quickly moved over to the side as the second Vulpix lunged at it. Amber quickly ducked to avoid impact as the Vulpix sailed over her head and landed behind her.

"The hell?" asked Amber.

"Amber no time," said Symon throwing a ball at the Sandshrew. "Just catch the one in front of you," Amber deciding not to waste anymore time turned around and chucked the ball at the original Vulpix. Both Symon and Amber's ball hit the Pokemon sucking them up and into the balls. Both fell onto the ground and wiggled. Nervously both Amber and Symon bit their lips. As the balls wiggled for the third time it finally latched close as stars popped out of the closed balls indicating that the Pokemon have been caught. "Yes," said Symon throwing his fist in the air.

"Yay they did it," said Fluttershy clapping her hooves.

Symon and Amber went to pick up their balls just as the Vulpix's help jumped in front of Amber and growled. "Oh come on don't be like that," said Amber.

"Uh Amber I'll handle this," said Fluttershy walking up to the Vulpix. The Vulpix hissed at Fluttershy as she walked up to it, "Um hello there I'm Fluttershy," said Fluttershy waving her hoof. "Um do you think you could give that ball back?" she asked reaching over to grab the ball. The Vulpix obviously didn't like that as it bit down on her hoof.

"Fluttershy!" said Amber taking a step forward. But Fluttershy held up a hoof to tell her she was ok. Although the the bite was cold enough to send a burning sensation up her body, Fluttershy fought against the pain.

"Shh it's ok," said Fluttershy petting the Vulpix gently. The Vulpix's ears drooped as it pulled away from her hoof and licked it. "Good girl," said Fluttershy petting the Vulpix. She grabbed Amber's Pokeball and walked back to her. "Here you go," she said dropping the ball in her hand.

"Thanks," said Amber.

Symon latched the Pokeball containing the Sandshrew onto his belt, Amber doing the same with hers, "Alright now that's done let's move on," said Symon returning his Crabominable to it's Pokeball.

"Right," said Amber doing the same with her Minior.

The ponies walked up Symon and Amber as the two got ready to walk over to the transport waiting for them. Suddenly Fluttershy felt a tug on her tail. Looking behind her she found the Vulpix pulling on her tail with her mouth. "Aww sorry but I have to go now," But the Vulpix wouldn't let go.

"You know Fluttershy it seems like she really wants to go with you," said Amber.

"Yeah but," said Fluttershy.

"Come on Flutters there's nothing wrong with catching a Pokemon," said Symon.

"Wait you mean?" asked Fluttershy.

"You're seriously not thinking of leaving it behind are you?" asked Amber.

Fluttershy looked at the Vulpix smiling she picked it up with her hooves. "Oh your so cute," she said nuzzling with it.

"Are you gonna give it nickname?" asked Symon.

"A nickname?" asked Fluttershy.

"Yeah," answered Amber. "If you catch a Pokemon you get a chance to nickname it,"

Fluttershy looked at it for a moment before saying, "Fluffy," "How's Fluffy," Fluttershy asked. the Vulpix. The Vulpix smiled and let a cry of joy indicating that it liked it. "Great then I'm gonna call you Fluffy," said Fluttershy. Fluffy smiled as it jumped onto Fluttershy's back. "Ok I'm ready," said Fluttershy.

"Then let's go," said Amber. The ponies followed Symon and Amber onto the transport as the they prepared for their biggest trial yet.
