Ash, Kiawe, Lana, and Gladion, Pikachu, and Rotomdex are shocked to see the giant red parasite pokemon inside the room. What shocked them more is to see the girl that is trapped inside with her eyes in a daze. Seeing the intruders in the room, the girl becomes upset and angry.
Raising the tentacle, she angrily shouts, "Go away!"
The tentacle swings forward getting ready to strike at Ash and the others.
Kiawe screams, "Look out!"
The four trainers and two pokemon dodge out of the way as the tentacle hits the ground.
Regains his balance, Ash shouts, "Pikachu, use thunderbolt!"
"Pika-chu!" Pikachu screams letting out the yellow thunder from its' body.
The Nihilego still having the girl uses it tentacles to block the thunderbolt. Then creates red energy balls and hits Pikachu, causing it to hit the floor.
"Pikachu, are you alright?" Ash asks.
Pikachu gets up on it paws and shakes its head.
Gladion says, "Ash we need to get out of here. We don't have enough room to battle it here."
"And we can't put people endanger here," Lana adds.
Nodding his head, Ash says, "Right."
Ash, Pikachu, Rotomdex, and the others run out of the room. Right before the energy ball hits them, which hits the side of the door. Within the bell of the pokemon, the girl grits her teeth in anger, and begin to chase after the group of friends.
Ash and the others have made it out of the apartment, and being to run from the creature while finding a good place to fight it. The creature teleports outside of the room, and looks to see the targets running down the street. She then begin to float after them hoping to capture them. Ash they run, people who are on the streets begin to scream and runaway at the sight of the monster.
Lana turns her head around as she continues running, "It's still after us."
"We need to get it away from the city," Kiawe adds.
Ash looks ahead, "I see a park! We can battle it over there."
"It's worth a try," Gladion agrees to the idea.
Ash and the others run towards the park as the creature is getting close to them. She then swings the tentacles to grab them, but misses them, and hitting the snow instead.
Meanwhile back at Canterlot High Cafeteria, Lillie and the others are trying to get the reception of the communicator so they can talk to the others. Sadly, none of them answer.
"What could have happen?" Mallow asks in concern.
"You don't think they found the parasite?" Sophocles questions in a apanic.
"I believe so," Lillie agrees.
Lillie gets up from her chair, "We should head to the statue and meet up with this Twilight person."
"Then let's go," Mallow says, getting up from her chair as well.
After getting their bags, the three trainers are leaving the cafeteria. However, they end up not getting very far if it was for Mallow bumping into someone. The two end up falling on the ground.
"Ow!" A raspy female voice yelps.
Mallow sits up to see a rainbow haired girl rubbing her forehead. Behind her, are four more girl looking at their friends.
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Mallow asks in concern.
"I'm fine," The rainbow girl mumbles.
Lillie helps the girl up, "We're sorry, but we're in a hurry to go to the statue to meet someone there."
"We're meeting this person named Twilight," Sophocles adds.
A girl with magenta hair gasps, "Twilight! That's funny, we know a girl named Twilight who lived in an alternate world."
The three look a the girl with confused looks.
"Now, Pinkie, you shouldn't be saying things like that. You're making them confused," The purpled haired girl says.
The girl wearing a cowgirl hat asks, "Why are you meetin' Twilight by the portal?"
"Ash asked us to meet her there because Twilight wanted to see Sunset. But didn't know that she is missing, until Ash wrote to her in this book," Lillie explains.
The five girls show stunned look on their faces.
The girl with the light pink hair worriedly asks, "You mean… she really is missing."
"Yeah," Sophocles answers.
"Some of our friends went to her apartment, and found that she hadn't answer her phone for days, and that Twilight hadn't heard from her either," Mallow explains.
"This is bad, isn't it?" Pikie asks in shock, and turn her head to face her friends.
"I agree," the cowgirl says.
Then the purple haired girl sadly admits, "And I think it's all our fault."
The three trainers look at the five girls in concern.
Lillie asks, "What do you mean?"
"You see we're Sunset's friends…. More like we used to," The cowgirl says in remorse.
"Does this have to do with Anon-A-Miss that the students are mentioning?" Mallow asks.
"Yes," The purple haired girl answers.
"We were having sleepovers the past two days, and some reason how secrets got out. First, Applejack's nicknames. Then, the pictures from Sunset phone. We all assumed that she did it, and left her," The rainbow girl explains.
The shy pink haired girl adds, "Four days ago at sugarcube corner, Sunset tried to reason with us and explain that she isn't Anon-A-Miss. But we refused to listen."
"Sunset yelled at us and said we weren't friends anymore, and that we were never to begin with. Then she ran out crying," Pinkie adds.
"We begin doubting this, and didn't know what to do," The cowgirl adds.
"And then you heard that Sunset has disappeared and fearing that it was your fault," Mallow suspects.
"You got it," The Rainbow haired girl says.
The three trainers are shocked to hear this. They're the first to believe Sunset has done it and abandoned her. Now, guilt begin to surround her.
Lillie sighs, "Girls, I understand why you felt like that, but you can't just assume the worse in your friend. Maybe you feel hurt about your secrets being exposed, but did you all thought on how Sunset felt about all this? All students believe she would do something horrible. How do you think she feel knowing her friends think the worst in her? Did you consider thinking on how Sunset feels?"
This causes the five girls to become shocked.
The cowgirl eyes begin to water, "I… never thought of it… I… I was so embarrassed and mad about my secret, that I end up assuming one of my friends has done it… It… it must have hurt on how we treated her."
"We never thought on how Sunset feel until she yelled at us," The purple hair adds.
"Sunset was right… we're terrible friends!" The shy girls cries.
Mallow calmly says, "But we can fix it. That is, if we find her and figure out who Anon-A-Miss is."
"Will you help us?" Lillie asks.
"If it means getting our friend back… I'm in," The rainbow haired girl says.
Then she says, "I'm Rainbow Dash."
"Rarity," The purple haired on says.
"Applejack," the cowgirl adds.
"Fluttershy," The shy girls sheepishly replies.
The the last girl happily says, "I'm Pinkie Pie, it's nice to meet you."
"I'm Mallow, and these are my friends, Lillie and Sophocles," Mallow happily says.
Then Sophocles says, "And you can help us by meeting this Twilight, and help us find out who Anon-A-Miss, and then find Sunset."
"Deal," Rainbow says.
All eight of them being to walk down the halls and are heading to the front of the school. At a different part of the halls, the crusaders look to see the five's remorse. They believe it is time to tell them what has happened, and who Anon-A-Miss really is. Even though they are afraid, they know that they need to do the right thing.
Meanwhile at the park, Ash and the others are looking at the creature, and the girl inside continues to stare at them. Still, the more Ash and his friends look at the girl inside the pokemon, the more they are thinking about the appearance.
"Ash, doesn't that girl look familiar?" Lana asks, pointing her finger.
Ash looks at the girl, "Yeah. The face looks very familiar."
Rotomdex flies over, "I think I have the answer."
Rotomdex then shows the pictures on his shows the picture of the girl that is trapped inside the parasite pokemon, and a picture of Sunset Shimmer the girls that has gone missing.
"The girl that is trapped inside, and the missing girl is the same by ninety-nine percent," Rotomdex, explains, as the screen combine the photos.
Ash and the other gasp in shock to see what Rotomdex is showing them. The girl trapped inside is the same girl that has gone missing a few days ago.
"What explains why she disappeared," Ash says.
"She was being possessed by the Nihilego this whole time," Gladion adds.
"We need to get her out of there," Kiawe says.
"But how?" Lana asks.
Just then, the girl possessed throws red crystals at the gang. Luckily, the are able to dodge them.
Gladion grits his teeth, "Looks like we'll have no choice but to battle her!"
"I think you're right," Ash agrees.
Ash and the others throw their pokeballs and all of their pokemon are released. Ash even release Solgaleo out of the beast ball. All of them are ready to attack.
Ash commands, "Pikachu use thunderbolt!"
Pikachu shouts as it unleashes a thunderbolt, "Pikachu!"
Then hits at the other crystals being thrown at them, and hit the creature at the tentacles.
"Popplio use water gun," Lana shouts.
"Use flamethrower, Turtonator!" Kiawe calls out.
"Silvally, use air class!" Gladion calls out.
Each pokemon perform their attack and are able to strike at the pokemon with the girl inside.
However, the girl known as Sunset angrily shouts, "Stay away from me!"
Then begins to spin at rapid speed, and aim itself towards the pokemon .With one hard strike, the four pokemon are smacked to the ground. The trainers see their pokemon has been beaten hard.
Ash shouts, "Pikachu!"
Ash kneel down to his partner, "Are you alright?"
Pikachu is able to get up, but is struggling.
"ARe you able to continue," Lana asks holding her pokemon.
Popplio replies and is able to get up.
Kiawe and Gladion look at their pokemon, and see they are able to get up.
"Gladion turns to the others, "This Nihilego is stronger with the girl in its possession."
"Yeah. The nihilego never done that when it possesed your mom," Kiawe adds.
"What do we do?" Lana asks.
Ash gets up, "We need to get through to her somehow."
Just then, the parasite begin to throws more crystal at them. Just then, Litten and Rowlet appear at the scene, and use their attacks. Litten uses fury swipe while Rowlet uses peck on them. The move shatter the crystals before they can strike at the gang.
Ash smiles, "Thanks guys."
Litten and Rowlett calls out.
"Lycanroc, use rock throw!" Ash calls out.
Ash's Lycanroc runs, and jumps into the air as it creates a glowing circle of rocks. The rocks then flies straight to the pokemon. Suddenly the tentacles creates a protective field to repel the rock throw. Then cause them to dissolve.
Gladion commands, "Umbreon, use shadow ball!"
"Umbre!" Umbreon cries out, creating a dark purple energy ball, and throws it.
Sadly, it's been repealed by the protective field. Ash and the others gasp in shock to see this.
"This is not good," Lana worriedly says.
"That thing's repelling everything we throw at it," Kiawe adds.
"But we need to stop it, and free Sunset," Ash says.
"We need to hold it off as long as we could," Gladion says.
Then Ash says, "And we're going to need some help,"
Lana brings out the walkie talkie, "I'll let Lillie and the others know what's going on, and ask for help."
"Meanwhile, we'll try our best to hold it off until they get here," Ash says with a determine look.
The three nod their head in reply agreeing what is need to be done.
Ash calls out, "Pikachu use electro ball! Litten use fire fang! Rowlet use tackle! Lycanroc use rock throw!"
"Turtonator use dragon tail! Marowak use flare blitz!" Kiawe cries out.
Then Gladion calls out, "Umbreon use dark pulse ! Silvally use crush claw ! Lycanroc use stone edge!
Hearing the commands of their trainers each of the pokemon perform their attacks. At the same time, Sunset who is still in the pokemon is still fighting back the attack. Lana begin to work on the communicator to call the others about what's happening.
She turns to Popplio, "Popplio try helping the others as much as you call."
Popplio nods it's hard as it make a sound, and joins in the battle while Lana tries to talk to Lillie and the others.
Back at Canterlot High, the three trainers, and five CHS friends are waiting at the stature for Twilight to come. They hope that they can help her deal with this situation. Just then, the two groups of friends turn to see the girl coming through the portal. Sadly, she is not wearing any winter clothes, and begins to shiver on the spot. Luckily, Rarity gives her a coat and helps put it on her.
"I'm sorry sorry for being late, but I had to deal a crazy situation in Canterlot," Twilight says.
Rarity sighs, "I think we should be the ones apologizing, You made us promised to help Sunset, and we let both of you down as friends."
"Yeah. Man! I feel like such a jerk," Rainbow adds feeling ashamed.
Twilight sighs, "I am disappointed, but I'm glad you are able to see it."
"Wish we did earlier," Fluttershy mutters.
"I know you feel bad about this, but Sunset is taking this a lot harder than everyone else. We need to find her," Twilight says.
Twilight turns to the three new comer, and asks, "I'm guessing you are the three friends this boy Ash wrote."
"We are," Mallow answers.
Twilight nods her head in reply.
Then Pinkie asks, "What do we do now?"
"We need to find Sunset Shimmer, and know that she's okay and that we're all there for her. Then we need to find out who is this Anon-A-Miss is," Twilight answers.
The friends nod their heads agreeing to the idea.
Just then, they hear someone calling out, "Applejack! Applejack!"
The gang turn to see the three young girls. Rarity and Applejack recognize them as their sisters, and Scootaloo. They run over with frantic looks on their faces. Then the stop as they are taking deep breaths in exhaustion.
"Hey Apple Bloom, where are you goin in such a hurry?" Applejack asks.
"We were tryin to find you and the others," Apple Bloom answers, still taking deep breaths.
Then Sweetie Belle says, "There's something really important we need to tell you."
"What is it?" Rarity asks.
"It's about Anon-A-Miss," Scootaloo adds.
"What about it?" Twilight asks.
Becoming nervous, Apple Bloom says, "Uh, you see…"
Before Apple Bloom can continue, they hear strange static noises around the area. Mallow hears her walkie talkie is making the noise, and picks it up.
Mallow says, " Lana, are you there?"
"Yeah, and we can use your help," Lana says, through the speaker.
"What is it?" Lillie asks.
"Well, we got good news, and bad news," Lana says.
Sophocles asks, "What's the good news?"
"The good news is that we found the pokemon, and we're battling it right now," Lana says.
The others smile, and see that luck is on their side this time.
"Well, it looks like they found the target you're looking for," Applejack says.
Then Fluttershy worriedly asks, "What's the bad news?"
"Yes. What is the bad news?" Lillie adds.
"And it's really bad. The girl that went missing, Sunset Shimmer," Lan begins explaining.
Everyone else nods their heads.
Then Lana screams through the speaker, "She's being possessed by the Ultra Beast and has giving the pokemon strange abilities! We need your help!"
"What?!" Everyone exclaims in shock and disbelief.
Then Lana says, "We in the park, and we're trying our best to get her out, but she's very powerful while being trapped in that pokemon."
"Don't worry Lana, we're on our way," Mallow says.
Mallow then puts the walkie talkie back in her bad.
Twilight worriedly says, "Sunset's in trouble!"
"We gotta help her," Rainbow adds.
"We need to go to the park! To the Friendship Mobile!" Pinkie declares.
Everyone look at Pinkie with confused looks.
Sweetie Belle says looking confused, "You don't have one."
"We'll take my van instead," Rarity says.
"Alright! To Rarity's van!" Pinkie declares with glee.
Rarity leads the group to the van. Luckily, they are able to fit in the van. They can only hope they get to the park before the Nihilego make Sunset do something she'll end up regretting.
