"A canvas? I already have one, but thanks anyway."

"Oh, okay. I'll take this back to Adeline then." Disappointing? Kind of. Worth it? For a friend, always!



Elline and I were at the Divine Terminus, awaiting further instruction from Susie through our little headsets. "...Ribbon, come in, Ribbon. Do you copy?"

I answered, "I read you loud and clear."

"Excellent. You are clear for takeoff. I will tell you where to go as you fly to your destination."

10 minutes later...



Elline and I soared through the cosmos, super excited to see our pal Kirby and his friends. I told Elline, "Kirby's the most amazing guy you ever met! We once worked together to take down the evil Zero Two with the Crystal Gun!"

"Really? I once worked with the little guy to restore color to Dream Land and protect my home land, Seventopia, from Dark Crafter. We destroyed him with help from my sister Claycia, who gave me a canvas to turn Kirby into a rocket to bash the clay creature with!"

"Considering how many bad guys Kirby's beaten, I always knew he'd beat both Queen Chrysalis and Hyness in battle!"

"I bet right now, he's either whooping bad guy butts or hanging out with Equestria's natives."

I heard Susie's voice through my headset, as did Elline. "Guys, I'm detecting a Minior field up ahead."

I asked, "Don't you mean asteroid field? Meteors are the ones that are--oh, you mean the Pokemon. I've always wanted to see what a Minior looks like!"

"Then today is your lucky day. The Minior are about fifty meters away."

We quickly flew ahead, and before us were several creatures that looked like colorful asteroids with eyes and a mouth. They seemed to be eating... something. I think they were eating tiny stuff floating around.

Susie explained, "These Minior are absorbing particles to build their core and shell. Eventually, their shell will become too heavy, and they will fall to the surface of a nearby planet. See that dull brown one? It seems to have finished absorbing particles and is ready to crash into a planet. Since the nearest planet is Equestria, I highly recommend you follow the Minior."

I turned to Elline. "You heard her. Let's follow that Minior!"
