//------------------------------// // Twilight's Rage and Ash's Compassion! // Story: Twilight's Realm: Advanced Generation // by CosmicAlchemist24 //------------------------------// With Team Rocket “That Hunter hussy had a lot of nerve sending us flying like that!” Jessie said still angry. “Calm down Jessie, it’s nothing worth getting upset over.” James said trying to calm down his partner. “Yeah I mean it isn’t the first time we’ve been sent flying by some random stranger.” Meowth said. “Wobbuffet!” Wobbuffet said with a salute. “I don’t care, If I ever see her again I’ll rip that silver haired head right off her body!” Jessie seethed. James, Meowth and Wobbuffet shivered at the red head’s comment. “Jessie look I think-” “GO AWAY!!!” Team Rocket jumped at the sudded scream they just heard and looked down from their balloon to see Ash and Twilight with a group of people in front of them. “The Twerp and the New Twerpette.” Meowth said. Jessie turned her gaze to Twilight who looked absolutely livid. “She looks pissed.” Jessie commented. “Shall we take a closer look?” James asked. Jessie and Meowth nodded and they began landing the balloon. Pokemon: Advanced Narrator: We finally return to the present and we comeback to a very angry Twilight Sparkle glaring at a few old ‘friends.’ “Twily please, we just-” “I SAID GO!” Twilight screamed not letting her brother finish his sentence. Ash, along with Pikachu and Twi’s Pokemon, were in a state of disbelief. Though they only traveled for a short while, he had never seen Twilight act like this before, nor did they ever think they would. “Twilight?” He asked quietly. Twilight’s eyes widened a bit and she turned to Ash and the Pokemon. Ash and Pikachu both had worried looks on their faces, while Marill and Budew looked at her as if Twilight was a complete stranger.. Twilight’s face softened a bit after she saw this and kneeled down to her Pokemon. “I’m so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you two like that.” she said giving Marill and Budew a hug. They were relieved to see her slightly more at ease, but were still confused by their trainer’s hostility. Twilight gently put them down and smiled. “I’ll explain later.” She could tell they were confused, and it was apparent why. She then turned back to her brother, her mentor and her ‘friends. “I don’t care why you are here and I don’t care what you want. Right now, what I want to know….is how you all found me?” She asked in an icy tone. The group in front of Twilight flinched a bit, but Celestia stepped forward. “Dearest Twilight, I know you’re mad but-” “Mad? Mad!? Get to the point your Highness, because I’m in no mood for your pleasantries.” Twilight said harshly. Ash knew that was out of line and he put a hand on her shoulder. “Twi, c’mon. At least give them a chance.” He said trying to calm her down. He looked at the group of strangers with curiosity. They seemed like decent enough people, though he had a feeling, based on what Twi had told he that these people weren’t exactly residents of Hoenn. Are these really the ones that made Twilight so….upset. “Pika pika.” Pikachu said with the same concern in his voice. “But-” “I get it. Really I do.” Ash said before turning to Twilight’s ‘family’ with a neutral look on his face. “So these are the people from that wedding you told me about?” Ash asked looking back the Twilight who gave a small nod. Marill and Budew were still confused and Pikachu for the first time kept his thoughts to himself. Ash walked over to Shining Armor. “My name’s Ash Ketchum, I’ve been travelling with Twilight for a few days now.” He said keeping a neutral tone. Shining Armor narrowed his eyes at the boy. “My name’s Shining Armor and I’m her brother.” He said in a stern tone. Seeing as how he had no idea where he was or what people from this world are like, we was understandably cautious of the boy, but Ash wasn’t intimidated, he crossed his arms and stared at Twilight’s brother. “So you’re the brother I’ve heard about. I can’t really say I’m honored.” He continued with a condescending look . Shining gritted his teeth, but before he could say anything back…. “Backup creep!” Rainbow Dash said before shoving Ash away. Ash staggered back a bit but kept his balance and glared at the Rainbow haired girl. “Hey! What’s your deal Skittles!?” Ash asked with a growl. Pikachu jumped onto Ash’s shoulder and also glared at Rainbow. “PIKA PIKA!” Pikachu said as his cheeks sparked. The group in front of Ash and Pikachu took a step back, seeing the visible sparks emanate from the Pokemon. “Gah! You keep that rodent away from us!” Rarity said dramatically as she and the other mentally questioned what this little mouse even was. Pikachu didn’t take kindly to that comment, and seemingly neither did Marill. “If you don’t shock her, I’ll soak her!” Marill said a slight growl. Ash put a hand up signaling the two mouse pokemon to stand down looking back at the group as he kept his hand up. “I’d advise you not to call my friend a rodent, miss. He doesn’t take kindly to insults!” Ash said with a slight growl. “PIKA!” Pikachu said. “That’s enough!” Celestia said walking in front of Shining and Rainbow. ”We didn't come here to start a fight.” Celestia continued with a *sigh* “We came to apologize Twilight.” She said in a attempt calm everyone down. Twilight looked at her former mentor with a raised eyebrow. “Apologize? Apologize for what? If I’m not mistaken, I was the one who ruined your precious wedding.” Twilight said with a glare. The Equestrian group flinched. With a bow Celestia tried to keep her center of gravity, and continued what she had been waiting to say. “We were wrong….We were oh so very wrong and you didn't deserve any of what we said to you.” Celestia said looking down. Applejack then walked up and took of her hat. “She’s right, Sugarcube, please hear us out.” She said. Twilight didn’t know what to say, what they were talking about, and especially how she should be feeling. The last thing she anticipated was everypony coming to her, that they would be the ones apologizing. It made her heart twist inside her chest. She clung to the only emotion she could understand besides confusion, which was anger. And as Twilight was about to give her ‘friends’ another earful, Ash quickly put another hand on her shoulder. “Twi, look, you have every right to be mad, but you should hear them out, at least for now.” Ash said trying to calm the equestrian girl down. Twilight stared at him for a few seconds and was about to refuse, but she noticed Marill and Budew still looking at her with concern. Twilight then took a deep breath, “I’m only doing this for you two.” She lied to herself and everyone else, before turning back to her friends. She wanted to hear them out, yet at the same time, wanted to be as far as cosmically possible from them. She wanted to know what they wanted, but at the same time, she couldn’t care less. What she definitely didn’t want, was for them to know she still cared. “Fine what do you want?” Twilight asked harshly. Before Celestia could speak up Cadance walked in front of her. “I think I can answer that.” She said. Twilight stared at Cadance for a good minute before looking down at the ground and balling her hands into fist. She remembered what she saw that day, what she said, what she did. Is this what they wanted, for her to apologize? To bring back what she had been avoiding for as long as she could. It was weird. They all looked so different. She looked so different. But when she saw Cadence there, she knew it was her. There was something different in the way she spoke, and the way she looked at her, but she could never not recognize Cadence. “I...I’m sorry I made you cry Princess Caden-” Twilight's sentence, as emotional and tear filled as it was, was cut short when Cadance wrapped her arms around her and held her close. “Don’t apologize, you have no reason to.” Cadance said. Twilight felt strange, she felt as if she was in the arms of her old babysitter again, that the wedding had never but she quickly came back into reality. Her brain tangled up again, and she was more confused than ever. “I...wait…. this is wrong, Why are...why are you being so...?” Twilight asked, pushing Cadance away from her, partially out of confusion, partially out of fear, and partially because the embrace felt like hoof-bumping an old bully. Out of place and awkward . “Twilight listen to me, you were right. Just let me explain what happened.” Cadance pleaded. Twilight just looked at her, at Cadance. Even in this new form, she could tell something was different, but she didn’t want to believe it, that she was somehow right in some way. “Why….why should I?” She asked coldly. Cadence thought for a minute and there was only one way she could convince Twilight. She then got on all fours and proceeded to do a strange dance. “Sunshine Sunshine, ladybugs awake.” Twilight’s eyes widened at this. “Clap your hooves-” “And do a little shake.” Twilight said finishing Cadance's rhyme breathlessly. Sure, the dance looked just as childish and about a dozen times more awkward when she was looking like this, but Twilight could never forget those memories. She knew deep down that neither of them could . Ash, Pikachu, Marill and Budew were very confused by the this little exchange, but Twilight knew and she gave the older girl a small smile. “You have five minutes.” She said, deceptively hostile despite the grin. Cadance smiled back at her and began telling Twilight, Ash, and their Pokemon what’s been happening in Equestria. From the day she was captured to Arceus defeating Chrysalis, and Twilight’s eyes were wide once Cadence began to when she got to the end of her story, as were Ash’s. He knew Equestria was an odd place, but that was on a whole other level. “Ok, hold on. Let me get this-” “Hey! This has got nothing to do with you kid!” Rainbow said glaring at Ash. “Like hell it doesn’t, Twilight’s my friend too.” Ash said not backing down. “You don’t even know her!” Applejack asserted judgmentally, stepping forward. “True. We’ve only been traveling for a few days, but she trusted me with her secret, who she really is and what exactly happened to her, past and all. And I don’t care! No matter where she is from or what she really is, Twilight is Twilight.” Ash said in a confident tone. Twilight said nothing but appreciated Ash’s words internally. “So like it or not I’m involved and all I have to say is...you all got lucky.” Ash said crossing his arms. The equestrians looked to the boy with wide eyes. “What was that?” Rainbow said through gritted teeth. “I mean everything that happened could have been avoided if you had just listened.” Ash said in a stern tone. Rainbow quickly walked up and grabbed Ash by his collar. “I’m getting really tired of you lecturing us. We know we messed up so we don’t need you standing there telling us that.” She growled. Ash didn’t flinch. “You have a real funny way of admitting it.” He said. Rainbow reached her limit and reeled back her hand. She didn’t quite get this whole “hands” thing, but she was pretty damn sure she could make them hurt. But before she could explode on him, with everyone else watching in disbelief as she was setting up her blow…. ”Dashie, what are you-” Pinkie began, but she couldn’t do anything about it. “THAT’S IT!” Rainbow yelled. As Rainbow’s fist planned a course to connect with Ash’s face, it was stopped by Twilight. “Don’t you DARE touch him!” She seethed before slapping Rainbow across the face, causing her to fall to the ground out of shock. Everyone but Ash gasped at what Twilight had done, Ash just looking wordlessly at her. Rainbow, now slumped over on the floor looked up at Twilight, now holding her reddened cheek. “...Twilight…” Rainbow said in a mix of shock, regret, and sadness. Even Twi in her angered state recognized that Dash almost never called her ‘Twilight’, but she wasn’t in the mood to care. She didn’t regret what she did, even when her brain had a chance to catch up with her palm, and she looked back to the rest of the group. “So….I was right. The Cadance there was an evil fake and she almost destroyed Canterlot....” She recapped. Cadance and Celestia nodded, the latter barely having the mental power to move at all. After a few seconds of silence, Twilight spoke up again. “Well I’m glad I left when I did.” She said coldly. Everyone was shocked by her words, before they could respond though she continued. “But….I am glad Princess Luna found the real Cadence....and that everypony else is ok.” She then looked to Cadance. “I’m glad you’re ok, I missed you so much. So is that all you wanted to tell me or is there more?” Twilight asked. The equestrians excluding Cadance, Luna and Fluttershy all looked at her with wide eyes. “Twilight...we want you to come home.” Shining Armor said walking forward. Twilight knew this part of the conversation was coming and she knew exactly how she was going to handle it. “And I should care about what you want why?” Twilight asked crossing her arms. Ash flinched for Shining Armor after that question and Pikachu, Marill and Budew we’re doing much better. “Damn, that was worse than a Sheer Cold.” Marill whispered. “I know right, I didn’t take Twilight for an Ice Type.” Pikachu said. “I’m still having a hard time keeping up with what’s going on.” Budew said slightly confused. “We’ll explain later, Budew. Just Pay attention.” Marill said. Budew nodded and continued watching. Shining didn’t back down from his sister. “Twily please, think about all you’re leaving behind by staying here.” He said. “The only things I can think of are Mom, Dad Princess Luna and Cadance and I’m sure if you explain the situation to Mom and Dad ‘TRUTHFULLY’ then I’m sure they will understand.” Twilight said crossing her arms. Shining Armor was taken aback by this, he knew that he and the girls hurt her but not this badly. “But what about us, you’re friends, teacher and brother?” He asked. Twilight gritted her teeth and got into her brother’s face. “I’m going to make this perfectly clear.” She pointed to Celestia. “She’s not my teacher Anymore!” Celestia had a horrified look on her face after that, Twilight then Pointed to the Mane 5. “They are not my Friends!” The Mane 5 except Fluttershy flinched at her words. Fluttershy already knew she wasn’t worthy of Twilight’s forgiveness...at least not yet. Twilight then looked into her brother’s eyes with tears coming out of her own. Ash knew where this was going to lead and he wasn’t about to let it happen. “And you are most definitely not my Bro-” Twilight sentence was stopped by Ash putting a hand over her mouth, but the damage was done. Shining Armor knew exactly what she was going to say and it devastated him. “Twi don’t say stuff like that, you’ll end up saying something you’ll regret.” Ash said taking his hand off Twilight's mouth only for her anger to go towards him. “But I won’t, that’s what you don’t get! Other than Cadance and Princess Luna, I could care less about the people in front of me right now! Don’t I deserve to say what I feel, Don’t I deserve to tell them off!?” She asked balling her hand into a fist. Cadance and Ash could feel the pain coming off of Twilight. “Twi-” “NO!” Twilight closed her eyes and tightened her fist. “I’m done with them, I’m done with Equestria, I’m JUST DONE!” With that final word, the element of Magic began to glow and after a few seconds a huge shockwave was released from it causing everyone but Twilight to fall to the ground. Twilight then opened her eyes to see the everyone around her on the ground and unconscious. “What...what did I- Mary, Budew!” She said running over to her partners. She quickly picked them up and tried to wake them up. “Uuuuuhh…” Twilight looked behind her to see Ash waking up. “What the hell hit me?” He asked rubbing his head. “Ash, are you ok?” She asked running over to him. “UGH! Other than the splitting headache, I’m go- Pikachu!” Ash aid seeing his partner unconscious on the ground. Ash picked his partner up. “Hey buddy wake up.” He said slowly shaking his partner. “Ash I’m so sorry I didn’t...I just...I...I..” Twilight couldn’t find the words for her apology. Ash put a hand on the equestria girls shoulders. “It's ok Twi, don't worry.” Ash said with a small smile. He then looked over to Twilight’s ‘friends'. “What should we do about them?” Ash asked. Twilight also looked at them and glared. “Nothing, nothing at all. Come on, let's get to Petalburg City. The sooner I get away from them the better.” Just a Twilight finished that sentence, Cadance’s eyes slowly began to open and she heard Twilight and Ash talking. “Are you sure?” Ash asked. “Yes, like I said I'm done with all of them! They can all rot in Tartarus for all I care!” Twilight said Coldly. Cadance heard the malice in Twilight voice and she could tell this was far worse than she thought. Ash could literally feel the anger coming off of Twilight and he didn't like that. “Twilight I-” Ash DON'T! Just don't….please.” Twilight said cutting the boy off. Cadance wanted to get up and hug Twilight, but her body was still hurting. Ash sighed and nodded. “Ok come on, the map says we have to head north.” He said. Twilight nodded and the duo walked off birth from the center and ‘Twilight's friends’. Cadance saw the the look in Twilight's eyes before she walked away, it was a mixture of anger and sadness. “I knew them coming here was a bad idea,they just made it worse. Lord Arceus said that boy could help her, but he...can’t do it...alone!” Cadance thought as she slowly picked herself off the ground and slowly began walking in the direction Ash and Twilight went. “I'm coming Twilight.” Timeskip, With Ash and Twilight. About 3 hours had passed since Twilight and Ash left the Pokemon Center, And for said three hours, the two walked side by side in silence, Twilight deep in her thoughts and Ash in his as well, with the occasional turn to see if Twilight was still ok, and some slight updates on directions and how close they were to Petalburg. Twilight didn’t seem to interested in the updates, barely nodding to indicate she heard, but not appearing enthused. It was all Ash could think of thought to break the crippling tension. However, both trainer’s attentions were soon promptly stolen “Pi..ka?” Ash quickly looked down and saw his partner waking up. “Hey, Pikachu!” Ash said in a happy tone. “Pika pi!” Pikachu said nuzzling his trainer. Twilight gave a small smile and felt Marill and Budew stirring in her arms. “Seems you’re awake to.” She added solemnly. “Dew?” “Mar?” Both Pokemon noticed the distinct change in surroundings, but more importantly, the tone of mental exhaustion in their trainer’s voice. Even Budew could notice something had clearly happened after the dispute Twilight was just in, and all she had truly registered were screams. Twilight on the other hand, looked at her clearly confused Pokemon, and closed her eyes, just imaging what they, and especially Budew were thinking after…all that. “Mary, Budew I'm so sorry.” Twilight said hugging her partners. Budew and Marill were both confused by their trainers apology. Pikachu was Also confused. “What the heck happened!?” Pikachu asked rubbing his head. “Heck if i know, last thing I remember is a bright flash of light.” Marill said. “And then we were knocked out.” Budew said. Ash then looked to Twilight. “They look pretty confused, maybe we should explain. It’s your story...so….um…you should-” “I get it Ash!” Twilight said cutting the boy off. Ash nodded and Twilight looked to the Pokemon. “I need to tell you all something about me.” Twilight said with a sigh. Twilight and Ash sat underneath a tree and Twilight began to explain her origin, her fight with her friends and who she ended up in this world. Once she was finished explaining, Pikachu, Marill and Budew all stared at her with wide eyes. “I’ve heard weirder stories.” Pikachu said shrugging his arms. Marill and Budew both looked at the yellow mouse with raised eyebrows. “What, me and Ash have been through alot and there are so many adventures that you wouldn’t believe we’ve had.” Pikachu said. Twilight looked at the Pokemon and knew that they didn’t believe her. “Listen, I know I sound crazy but that’s my life.” Twilight said looking down. Marill looked back at her partner and jumped into her arms. “Mar Mar Marill.” Marill said nuzzling her. Ash smiled. “Marill seems to believes you.” He said. “Mary...do you?” Twilight asked the blue mouse. Marill looked up and nodded. Twilight smiled and Marill and then looked to Budew. “Budew?” She asked. Budew was still thinking this over, on one hand she thought she was crazy but on the other she sounded so sad and hurt when Twilight was explaining the story. Budew then looked to her trainer and she jumped into her arms. “Dew!” She said with a smile. “We’ll that’s that! Looks like your partners are with you pony or not.” Ash said. “Pika Pika!” Pikachu said jumping onto Ash’s shoulder. Twilight hugged her pokemon. “You both are amazing.” Twilight said before her frown came back. Ash had noticed, and looked down in a brief moment of reflection on the scenario, before turning back to Pikachu. “Go with Marill and Budew over by those bushes for a minute, would ya buddy?” Pikachu, raised an eyebrow, but as Ash jerked his head in Twi’s direction, the pieces snapped into place in the Electric type’s head. He jumped of Ash’s shoulders, before running up to the other two, looking up in Twilight’s arms, and with a wave and a call, Marill quickly jumped to the ground, followed by a slightly more reserved Budew, and slowly trotted away. Twilight clearly noticed this, but as she watched them walked off, she just put her head down once again, returning her mind to her earlier issue. Ash took a deep breath, and walked over to a still kneeling Twilight. “They really do care about you…” Ash spoke down to the crouched trainer. “I know...I don’t know how I got so lucky...after just a few days…” Twi replied with slight chuckle, turning over to look at her Pokemon by the bushes, who seemed to be having their own little conversation. “I wasn’t talking about them…” Ash correct her, causing Twi to go wide-eyed, before closing her eyes and tilting her head down once again. She wanted to turn to him and yell...she didn’t want to yell at him though, one part of her knew she had to talk about this with someone and the other part of her was wrong… “I...I know...but...it still doesn’t feel that way.” Twilight lamented, Ash not doing anything but listening. She was letting everything out the proper way. The way that didn’t involve punching or yelling. “I know that...that no matter what they still care...but I still...I still don’t feel...like I should forgive them? Is that how I feel? Am I just mad at...at nothing? Why does it feel like they don’t care still?” Before she could even process her emotions and finish the avalanche of anxiety logic, she could see the tears falling from her face before feeling them run down her cheek. She just retreated into her mind as quickly as she began to speak. But before she kept going, a hand was on her back, and a quick turn out of reflex showed to her Ash, now also kneeling beside her. “Twi. Don’t expect to figure out how to deal with your feelings immediately. You’re just gonna panic yourself to death.” He advised with a warm smile. Twi just looked at him for a couple seconds, frozen as she put her head in order and looked forward again, now with a stable conscience, at least relative to earlier. “It...it just feels like...I should be mad...I am mad...at least...I think I am.” She began, trying to rationalize her thoughts like a puzzle, each emotion like a piece that needed to be in place. “They are my friends...I thought it would be that way forever...It seems kinda stupid in hindsight but...but I just can’t….look at them right now. Especially here, especially like this. I know, I know they did this cause they care...but all I see is them ruining what was supposed to make me forget about them, and...it just makes me feel like I just made everything worse…” Ash just sat there. He didn’t dare interrupt her….at least for now. “I knew something was wrong...I knew it, but…But ever since I got here...and the more I thought about what happened that day...I just wanted less and less to be right. I justed wanted to be wrong...and get out of their way…” She continued, eyes squeezed shut. “Twilight…” “I agreed to come here cause I felt unwanted...I still do...but before it was almost like a reward...like I was too good for them...and the more I thought about it, and the more I thought about them, I just hoped that I WAS being paranoid...cause that would just mean I got what I deserved. That I don’t have to...burden them? I guess that’s the right word…” Both just sat there...quiet. Twilight just thought about the word. “Burdened”. “Heh, I’ve never wanted to be incorrect so much in my life…” She chuckled, more tears in her eyes. “Cause now not only is my brother’s marriage ruined…” “...but I ran away...and didn't do anything to save it…” She was still smiling, but a steady flow of tears ran down her cheeks, as she let her actions sink in. Ash just looked at her, thinking of something to say, anything. “I know I still tried at least….that I said something...and nopony listened...but all that means is I’ve lost everything...my brother, my mentor, and my friends...cause I can’t make myself forgive them right now, but I know I’m wrong...I lost everything…” … … … “...Not everything” Ash noted, smiling at the purple-haired girl. She turned to him, done with her lament and expecting a different type of response. “I still think you can make things right with them...but at least for now, you have us.” Ash continued, gesturing to her Pokemon, intently looking at the exchange from a few meters away. “We may not be much…” Ash started with slight smirk. “...but it's clear that those guys back there aren’t the only friends that care about you.” “Ash…” “I can’t tell you how to feel. Honestly...that's never been my strength. But I can tell you that you obviously need to clear your head. No matter the reason you came here, you’re here now. You just need to get things settled in your head and loosen up a bit.” Ash reassured her. Twilight took in what he said. She clearly didn’t know how to be feeling right now...the emotions in her head just making her dizzy. “I...I think you’re right.” “I’m putting in an honest effort.” He said with a smile. Twilight just giggled and turned to her Pokemon. “*Sigh* I’m sorry for...lashing out. I’ve been holding all that in for...awhile now. I didn’t know whether or not to say it...but I knew if I did say it...it would’ve gone something like that.” She addressed to Ash. “Yeah, well. You were feeling some...cleary intense feelings.” “Definitely.” Twilight confirmed with another audible sigh. “But what I realized is...whether or not I’m mad at them or...or myself right now...That doesn’t matter right now. I just need some distance from all of that...so hopefully you won’t mind me sticking around a bit longer.” She finished, turning to Ash with the first genuine smile she’s worn for awhile. “Heh, I’ll think about it.” He beamed. “Oh, shut it.” With Team Rocket Both Jessie and James were on the ground crying their eyes out. “That poor girl!” Jessie said pounding her fist on the ground. “I feel her pain, my family is exactly the same!” James said tightening his fist. Meowth was watching the two from their balloon. “While I find this whole thing ridiculous, I must admit I kinda feel bad for that Twilight girl.” He said. “Wobbuffet!” Wobbuffet said with a salute. “You too huh?” Meowth asked. “Wobbu!” Wobbuffet said with a nod. Jessie and James then stood up and walked over to there balloon. “Are you both done?” Meowth asked. “Yes sorry, that was just a lot to take in. to think that young girl has gone through so much.” James said looking down. Jessie nodded in agreement. “Eh it’s fine, I get it. So what now?” Meowth asked. “Same as we always do catch Pikachu and as a added bonus that Marill.” Jessie said int a cheerful tone. “That’s what I’m talking about!” James Cheered. “Yea, two mice for the price of one.” Meowth said. “Wobbuffet!” With Cadance It had been a few hour and Cadance had no idea where she was going. “It’s getting dark, darn it! I should have at least took aunt Luna.” Cadance said before resting under a tree. “Twilight where are you?” She said in a sad tone. “Um excuse me, are you ok?” Cadance looked up to see young man with spiky brown hair, light brown skin and wearing a black short sleeve jacket. “Oh I’m just-” “WHOA! Such a beauty, tell me my dear what name has Arceus blessed you with?” The man asked. Cadance blushed at the man's words and spoke up. “Um...it’s Cadance.” She said. “Cadance such a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman. My name is Brock and it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
