Saying he was on edge was an understatement.
Seeing the very Pokemon who had attacked him out of nowhere before blasting him through the night sky made Sonic follow all her movements avoid getting sneak-attacked again.
"Oh, my beloved subjects." The Gardevoir announced, "How long it's been since I last saw your precious, sun-loving faces!"
"What'd you do with the Princess!?" Rainbow Dash demanded before charging at the Gardevoir while using flame charge.
"Woah, Nelly!" Applejack exclaimed as she grabbed onto Rainbow Dash's tail feathers, tying to hold the Fletchinder back.
The Gardevoir laughed before asking, "Oh? Am I not royal enough? Don't you fools know I am!?"
Hopping into sight, Pinkie exclaimed, "Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about, Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty--"
Before Pinkie could continue, Applejack stuffed a Oran berry in her mouth, quieting her.
"Does my crown mean NOTHING after a thousand years of imprisonment!?" The Gardevoir asked angrily, "Does no one recall the legend? Didn't you see the signs!?"
"We did!" Twilight spoke up as she and Spike came into view, "And we know who you are! You're the Pokemon on the moon, Nightmare Moon!"
"Well well well, someone who remembers me. Nightmare Moon said, "Then you also know why I'm here."
"You're here to... to..." Twilight tried to say, but was too scared to finish.
Nightmare Moon let out a wicked chuckle, "Remember this day, little Pokemon, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!"
Nightmare Moon was about to leave when a voice spoke up, "Not so fast!"
Turning towards the voice, Nightmare Moon saw Sonic had stepped up from the crowd, causing her to smirk.
"Well, well, well, it looks like I have a challenger." Nightmare Moon smugly.
"You bet that I'm challenging you!" Sonic yelled angrily, "I want payback for you attacking me two nights ago!"
Nightmare Moon appeared to have been in thought before letting out a laugh.
"So it was you I blasted through the night sky?" Nightmare Moon laughed, "Well, I'll admit it's impressive that you survived. Despite you being a Pokemon I'm not familiar with, I'm definite I could easily defeat you again."
"The reason why I was taken out so easily was because you attacked me while I was asleep!" Sonic growled, "I didn't even have time to react because you used psychic almost immediately after blasting me out of that tree with shadow ball!"
"I will say that I would have taken my time but I only had a certain amount of time before I would be sent back to the moon so I decided to see how much damage I could do before being sent back." Nightmare Moon explained with a smirk.
"Well now you have all the time you need seeing how you claimed you'll make an eternal night!" Sonic yelled as he went into a battle stance.
"I agree, but right now I have other plans." Nightmare said, "Until then,enjoy the night."
With that said, Nightmare Moon let's out a laugh before turning into a purple cloud and flew off into a nearby forest.
"Hey! Get back here!" Sonic exclaimed as he tried to give chase, only to get caught in psychic.
"Hold on Sonic!" Twilight exclaimed as she pulled said Pokemon towards the ground, "We need a plan first. She is a Gardevoir, who is a psychic/fairy type, and since you said you're a flying type, she has an adventure over you. We can't risk the fate of the region by simply charging in."
Although he still wanted to chase down Nightmare Moon, Sonic calmed down before asking, "What's the plan?"
"First we need to get back to the library." Twilight responded, "I'll explain from there."
With that, Sonic, Twilight, and Spike make their way back to the library but where spotted by Rainbow Dash while doing so.
"Where are they going?" Rainbow Dash asked herself before following them.
At the library, Sonic, Twilight, and Spike were see at the library looking through all the books trying to find one that could help them.
"Elements, elements, elements... Ugh! How can we stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?" Twilight said in frustration.
"And just what are the Elements of Harmony?" Rainbow Dash asked Twilight as she flew in, "And how did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh? Are you a spy? Whoa!"
Applejack pulled Dash back by her tail feathers, "Simmer down, Sally. She ain't no spy, but she sure knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?"
Twilight looked as Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy entered the library before responding, "I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. Some mysterious objects called the harmony stones , otherwise knows as the Elements of Harmony, are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!"
Almost immediately after Twilight said that, Pinkie dropped a book in front of her before stating, "The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide."
"How did you find that?!" Twilight asked in shock.
Pinkie said in a sing-song, "It was under 'E'!"
Twilight the let out an annoyed groan before saying, "How did I not think about looking under 'E'!?"
After reading through the book for a moment, Twilight believed she found what she was looking for.
"There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are really known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, and Loyalty." Twilight explained, "The sixth is a complete mystery. It's said the last known location of the five Elements was the ancient castle of The Royal Pony Sisters, located in what is now The Everfree Forest."
"Well, we now know where we are going, now all there's left to do is get there, find those Elements of Harmony, and take out Nightmare Moon before she does the same with us." Sonic said.
Nodding in agreement, the group make their way out of the library.
Not too long later, the group arrive outside the forest before stopping at it's entrance.
"Well, here we are." Spike spoke up.
"The forest where we more than likely face Nightmare Moon in." Sonic said.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Pinkie said as she began to walk towards the entrance.
"Hold on Pinkie, I think me and Sonic can take it from here." Twilight spoke up.
"What about me?" Spike asked.
"Yeah there's no way we'll let you two go in there by yourselves." Rainbow Dash said.
"With all the wild Pokemon there along with Nightmare Moon, it could be a little to much for the too of you to handle." Fluttershy said.
"They have a point Twilight." Sonic said, "Although I'm sure we hold off on our own against some of the wild Pokemon we might run into, we're going to need all the help we can get if plan on stopping Nightmare Moon."
Seeing how everyone wouldn't let the matter down, Twilight let out a sigh before saying, "Fine, but we should hurry."
Nodding in understanding, the group enter the forest, ready for what might be waiting for them.
