Pocket Monsters. Pokemon for short.

What an amazing array of Strange and Wonderful Creatures that inhabit various worlds in various universes. Plentiful to the point where they have no limit and they never show signs of stopping. Delightful in every way and amazing in every category.

These boundless creatures can be found everywhere. Living in the lush grasslands, fields and anything verdant with great beauty. Some Pokemon soar through the heavens themselves, becoming masters of the skies. Some can be found in mountainous areas, living amongst fire and brimstone in rough yet adaptable environments for them. And some reside beyond the skies, moving across the cosmic skies of space.

No matter what, there will always be a Pokemon somewhere. Whether they're in hiding, roaming with all the joy in the world or even becoming the stuff of legends and myths, only appear in rare instances. 

Which brings us to the lives of those who live with Pokemon. These are the Pokemon Trainers. Appearing in varying species as well from humans, ponies, dragons, griffins, changelings and many more, the bond they share with Pokemon can be considered beyond astronomical.

There are those who catch Pokemon, training in the art of the Pokemon Battle and the various Gyms that exist out there, leading to leagues or even partake in Pokemon Contests, showing off their unique sense of style. There are those who take it simple with Pokemon, becoming Pokemon Breeders, Nurses, Actors and too many occupations to count. But many shoot to be the best in their field.

And one of these Pokemon Trainers was Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. His journey to become a Pokemon Master covers everything, resulting in him witnessing all the wondrous sights that exist in not just his world, but other worlds as well. Alongside his best friend Pikachu, the journey to be the very best truly brought many benefits.

And with his many friends such as Twilight Sparkle, as always, the journey continues with no end in sight.



Unova. Virbank City. PokeStar Studios. The Pokemon Festival. Afternoon.

PokeStar Studios. The perfect place for anyone to make their dream films. Right now, a majority of Ponyville's residents plus Cloudsdale were aiming to make a film about Equestria. They already do something similar back at Equestria with the Hearths Warming Play. Here at PokeStar Studios, they could go the distance and surpass the theatre plays.

This film was in progress ever since the first day of this Pokemon Festival and everyone was working hard to make sure it was the best it could be. Naturally, this was all Mayor Mare's idea as ponies were now the most prominent group at PokeStar Studios currently.

"Hey, you think I could tell a joke for this one? I think I'll get 'em with this one." Sliding over to Mayor Mare with a recommendation was Berry Punch.

"Get who?" Mayor Mare asked.

"I hear PokeStar Studios is being visited by some film critics today. Sometimes, they heckle others. But not us. I can tell a mean joke, if you must know."

"Hm-hm. Can't deflect criticism but go for it. If you're so sure about it."

"I'm ready for them. Trust me. Plus, I'll handle any insult thrown my way by them." Berry Punch boasted. "Wouldn't be the first time I've been criticized about something. Mainly my berry juices."

"I'm not sure...Film criticism seems to be the largest and strongest form of criticism out there. Even beating out food criticism. "Mayor Mare replied before seeing Stoutland hold out the traditional list of film rules. This specific list may seem pointless but any filmmaker needs to know about the obstacles that come with them. And these obstacles were gigantic in every way. "Not sure it can rival that of culinary criticism."

"Ah, I'm sure it'll be fine. Here. Let's try it, mayor. You'll be the audience and I'll throw my joke at you. Heckle at me and throw insults and see how I take it. My wits are as quick as my crafts." Berry Punch backed away, feeling fully confident in what she could deliver.

However, her Skwovet wasn't so sure, shaking his head in disapproval. Mayor Mare figured she'd give it a try. No harm done after all. "Very well then."

"Great. Here's a bad joke. Ahem." Ready to throw a bad joke toward Mayor Mare, Berry Punch cleared her throat before spouting it out. "Why shouldn’t you write with a broken pen? Because it’s pointless."

"Hmmmrrgh...!" But surprisingly, Mayor Mare found that humorous as she scrunched her face, ready to burst out into laughter. It didn't take long for her to do so as she almost dropped her glasses from the way her head reacted to her laughter.

"Wait! You found that funny?! You're supposed to boo at me, mayor!"

"Oh! Sorry! But to me, that was too good not to laugh at! Ah, that takes me back to the jokes I used to hear and say!"

"Right...She's older than most of us so something like that would hit well with her." It was then that Berry Punch realized why Mayor Mare found it so entertaining. Jokes like that were A-Plus in her book."

"Oh, oh! Mind if I throw my own in?" Mayor Mare nudged, eager to crack a joke as well.

"Uh, no thanks. I...gotta go!" Berry Punch slid away before a joke would be thrown her way. While Mayor Mare was the one who planned for this to happen and brought up the idea, she was just the overseer. The one who was making sure everything goes to plan was none other than Ponyville's second-best organizer who used to be the best.

Amethyst Star.

She was glad to have this role. It was her expertise, obviously but there was one bigger reason than most. It was the fact that a certain alicorn wasn't here. Twilight was now Ponyville's best organizer and since she wasn't here at the moment, this role was all for Amethyst Star and nopony else, making her proud.

"Almost a week in and I'm still organizing everything. This is great!" Naturally, this brought joy to the unicorn. She showed no ill feelings toward Twilight but having her title overtaken by someone who does organize things better than her left an impact that lasts a few years and was still going on. No shame in being competitive. "Take that, Twilight!"

Speaking of Twilight, she arrived, joined by Ash and the others. The moment those doors opened up, Amethyst Star sensed the presence of the Princess of Friendship. She slowly turned her head, causing a creaking sound before spotting Twilight Sparkle. 

This timing could be more coincidental.

"See? It's not even close to being done yet." Cloudchaser said to them. "I don't think it's a Celestia problem. It's more like nopony here knows how to make a move."

"Nah, they know. Lyra and a few others have some experience here. But if they're going big for this one then yeah. That's gonna take longer than any PokeStar Studios films I made here." Ash added.

"It looks bigger than the one we have back at our Unova, doesn't it?" Hilda commented, pointing out how different this version of PokeStar Studios appeared. It apparently had a larger size compared to theirs.

"There you are!" Calling out to her friends was none other than Rarity. This entire time, she's been at PokeStar Studios, helping out. As to be expected, for dresses, she was in charge from the get-go. "I was wondering when you would show up."

"Rarity. Before anything else, take a look at this." Applejack rushed over, holding one of the Galaxy Master books up to the fashionista. Small talk would have to wait as the contents within the book were too important to ignore, especially since one f them involved her little sister.

"Oh. Alright then?" Rarity replied with a confused tone before pulling the book her way with magic. All she needed to do was look through a few pages to get a gist of what has happened so far. But all of these books give the full context.

"So, how close are you to getting this all done?" Ash asked, walking over to Mayor Mare. In his hands, he held Victini as if he was a baby.

"Well, we're apparently making the biggest film in this place that isn't made by professional filmmakers." Mayor Mare added. "The downside is that we're not professional. Most of us aren't. But we have a few ponies who've been here before so we can get this done eventually. Ah, but you're a professional, aren't you, Ash?"

"Nah. I've just got a lot of experience here." Ash chuckled. "The best I can do is make a cool pose and do voice-overs but this is all about Equestria. I'll just watch."

"Well...we do need a narrator. Something about a narrator just brings warmth to the soul." Mayor Mare sighed. "Especially if it's the right voice. What would be the best voice for this?"

"What?!" Meanwhile, Rarity discovered the contents within the books, shocked to see what they entailed. This was the natural reaction as it startled mostly everyone here.

"A-Anyway. Do you know a perfect voice?" Mayor Mare asked.

"The voice needs to feel mystical, Ash," Octavia added. "Something that sets the watcher in. Like my performances."

"I read that narration heightens the story even more. Like we're reading a book or something like that." So did BonBon. "So. Got the right kind of voice?"

"Hmm...The right kind of voice, huh?" Ash pondered. The range of voices for a narrator can be so unique and special. But there is one consistent thing about a narrator. It's always the way they soothe the ears. Deep and mellow voices work the most. That's when it hit Ash. "I got it! We'll have Sombra do it!"

"SOMBRA?!" Everyone gasped except for Rarity. This was not the name they expected to hear her. But of course, since Sombra was now within Ash, his name would be brought up from time to time. Now was probably not one of those times.

"Hahaha! Yes! "Excellent idea, boy! Now you're thinking at your peak!" And of course, Sombra loved that idea as he emerged out of Ash in his full pony form. This option to have Sombra as the narrator was a stunning idea that would have to be dictated later on by Mayor Mare.



Equestria. Magehold. Afternoon.

Over at Magehold, Fantina was once again teaching the vampires about Pokemon, focusing on the younger vampires the most. Once again, no complaints came from her whatsoever.

"Alright children. It seems we'll have a field trip about catching Pokemon soon. So stack up on Poke Balls that I brought you, alright?" She spoke to the vampires as each of them were holding Poke Balls of their own. Specifically, Fantina brought them Dusk Balls and Quick Balls. Not a single standard Poke Ball was seen in sight except for the Pokemon they already owned prior to Fantina arriving.

Fantina could remember it clearly. When asking permission to take them on a field trip, she was met with this one limitation from Fractured Note. The ever-loyal servant and right hoof to Rosa Maledicta.

"Do so. However, you are to take them anyway where else except away from civilization. Only the wilds will do for our little vampires. Understand that clearly, Fantina. That is one of the wishes of Queen Rosa."

"Away from civilization...I suppose the wild is the best place to catch Pokemon anyway. But the rest of the fun could be sucked out without getting to see the wonders of exploring places." Fantina said to herself as already, upon learning that this field trip was imminent, the children went crazy, discussing which Pokemon they would catch. They clearly had their preferences and it could be seen in how they interacted with Fantina's Pokemon.

So, the best place to go would be somewhere dark. Fantina by now knew that these foals were fine with anything dangerous and eerie. Here at Magehold, it would fit right in. But while everyone gossiped while hanging around Fantina's Pokemon, Fantina noticed someone in the corner of her eye.

In fact, it was the first time she noticed this pony. At the corner of this dark room resided an even darker corner that could mask almost anyone. And it certainly masked this pony. Another foal could be seen, sitting there exempt from the rest of her fellow classmates, grabbing Fantina's attention.

"Oh hello. What's your name? I haven't met you yet." Fantina kneeled, facing the filly in the dark spot.

"My name is Rattle. Miss." She said, shuddering a bit once Fantina got a better look at her. "Sorry for hiding." Her tone seemed to be lower compared to everyone else here.

"It's fine. At least I saw you. Are you nervous? Too afraid to be next to the rest of the class?"

"No." That's not it at all." She shook her head while still trembling. "I'm just younger than everypony else here...so my curse magic is..."

"Hm?" Fantina turned her head as Ratte was the youngest pony here apparently. She wondered what her curse magic had to do with it. The only thing that came to Fantina's mind was potentially what others felt about Rattle's magic. "Oh. Your magic? Is it too much or are you being made fun of?"

"No...I just got my magic a week ago. Not many know what it is. And that should be for the best." Rattle whimpered. Indeed, not only was she the youngest here, but she recently got her magic. And naturally, the way she got it was terrifying, matching the horrific events these foals had to go through to get their magic. It was mainly being chased by terrifying monsters from Tartarus and beyond, scaring them to the point where their magic finally emerges.

Rattle was the newest pony. And unlike her classmates, she wasn't all about fear. She wasn't for it at all which was surprising to Fantina. But Fantina had no idea what Rattle experienced. Rattle could still see it all. The things she had to run from and go through still roamed her mind. She had yet to settle in and accept this fear.

"Hm...Well, what is your Curse Magic if it has you like this?"

"It affects my mind, miss. I know many things about anyone I look at. I looked at my classmates and told them what could happen in the future and what I knew about them They hated me for it. Mainly for what comes next...Like how you shouldn't be here." Rattle revealed her magic.

Her magic seemed to be the power to perceive others' lives and especially the truth and future of things. And by looking at Fantina, she saw all she needed to see. "I can still see the day you met her majesty."

"You do?" Fantina uttered.

"I could tell just by looking at you. Sorry for intruding." Rattle apologized for this. It seemed that intruding in the lives of others by simply looking at them and knowing what she needed to know did not sit right here. Any other pony in Magehold would revel in this, however.

"It's fine. I don't quite understand it myself. But what do you mean by I shouldn't be here? I feel like I should honestly." Fantina chuckled as Rosa had her fully convinced she belonged here. But out of everypony here, Rattle was the only pony who thought otherwise.

"I shouldn't say it. She can hear everything you do." But Rattle refused to spill it before then putting her hooves over her head. "But this magic of mine scares me, miss. My head can't take it. All of these thoughts and everything I learned.

"You can't control it?"

"No." Rattle's magic was still new to her. "My head hurts when gaining so much, miss. I'd rather not look at anyone else ever again with this."

With this potent magic, Rattle's mind was suffering. Such a young mind s unable to take it all in. Right now, the thoughts that Rattle received were only dark thoughts. Mainly about every vampire and skeleton here. She could see all the horrific things they could take but she couldn't.

Even the creatures that chased her around, their thoughts affected her as well. All of it was too bitter and terrifying for such a young child, especially one who was not adjusted to the way Magehold presented itself. Unable to stop this magic at all and control what her mind sees, the vampire filly was essentially suffering at this point.

"It's alright." And then there was Fantina, putting her hand on Rattle's hoof and head. Seeing the vampire filly trembling prompted her to do her job as a teacher to its fullest. She wouldn't just teach them, she would take care of them. "If you're feeling scared, I'll stick by your side. All of these thoughts are getting to you, are they?"

"And the future. The future of what everyone else sees. It's all so dark and violent miss and I can't stop it from showing up in my head."

"Well...Go back to me. Look at my thoughts, please." Fantina suggested. She already knew that the vampires here thrived on everything dark so they were bound to have dark thoughts. But Fantina was an exception truly. "You said you already got everything you know about me, right?"

"Mhm. Your thoughts are the only ones that aren't terrifying miss. But everything else gets in their way." Alas, with how many dark thoughts were in her head, Fantina's was essentially drowned out. Anything remotely positive would be sent away.

"Let's go on that field trip to ease your mind." Fantina had one more suggestion. Staying here at Magehold would only flood her head with more dark thoughts until she reaches an age where she can control this magic. What was the best option? A place either than Magehold and this field trip could change that despite the limitations Fantina was met with. "Does that sound good?"

"It does." Rattle would take it. But she was still too afraid to come out of that dark corner. And of course, Rosa Maledicta heard it all.

It wasn't too surprising to the Lich Queen who heard it all the way from her throne room. Despite bringing Fantina here and erasing any memory of her home, she kept Fantina's natural kindness. But it was only for somepony like Rattle who was young and struggling to adjust to Magehold. Either way, Rosa Maledicta knew that eventually, when Rattle does settle in, these dark thoughts would become natural to her.

"Poor Rattle," Rosa spoke. "It will all look standard for the little one for when she gets older. Though...her magic is one of the best we've received so far. I will certainly continue to keep an eye on her."



Unova. Virbank City. PokeStar Studios. Afternoon.

"Ash, why?!" Twilight questioned as many were still stunned that Ash would choose Sombra of all ponies. "Why him?!"

"His voice is pretty great." Ash had to speak what he felt. And to him, Sombra's deep voice was both intimidating and interesting to listen to, making it unique.

"Thank you, boy." Sombra greatly appreciated this compliment, walking past Mayor Mare. "I do think I should narrate this film of yours. Who else can do it better than yours truly?"

"His voice is very nice to listen to, honestly," Lyra admitted to that as Amethyst nodded in agreement. Mayor Mare thought about it for a bit.

Everyone was terrified of King Sombra but a good voice was a good voice and no one could deny that. Plus with Ash here, he could be monitored. His magic was also limited so there was little to fear except for his voice. Sombra found Ash's decision to choose him to be truly kind.

So far, he's noticed how kind Ash has been to him despite their scuffle a few years back and Sombra's previous occupation and role. It made him think about Radiant Hope and how she encouraged him to find new friends. And while Sombra still sees Ash as a vessel he could hang around him, he and Pikachu were the closest he had to new friends.

Sombra honestly felt like befriending someone else. Someone more serious and just like him. But it was Ash's carefree nature that clashed with his nature. And yet, Sombra couldn't bring himself to despise it. He did in the beginning but spending time with Ash changed that.

"Very well. That is a nice voice." Mayor Mare ended up going with Ash's decision. "Alright. I think we're close to closing off each category. All we're missing is Princess Celestia herself and a few things here and there. Then, we're good to go."

"Who is this Princess, Ashkan? What does she look like?" Hoopa asked, curious about Princess Celestia.

"Only Equestria's best ruler. And well...I've got her image right here." Ash held out his Xtransceiver, turning it on. Princess Celestia was on this with her face and everything. "I guess I can just call her to tell her what's up."

"No need! Hoopa will bing Celestikan here!" Hoopa had an easier solution in mind. By holding up his ring, he would save all the hassle and bring Princess Celestia to this part of the world.

"I beg your pardon?" said Mayor Mare before witnessing Hoopa hold out his rings. As swiftly as he took them out, Hoopa dug his hand through the ring, searching for that specific pony. And by doing so, he found himself touching leather of all things. Not exactly something that he saw on a pony at all but he would go with it.

"Hm..!" Hoopa then used both his hands to pull as hard as he could. And straight through the ring, just as he promised, he brought Princess Celestia over. But not just her. Holding onto Celestia after she had been snatched were Luna, Cynthia and Premium Polish along with Celestia's Pokemon.

"Oh!" Celestia tumbled after being pulled in, nearly falling over. Of course, she was still in her human form and now this form would be revealed to everyone else as Luna fell flat on her face. Everyone was absolutely starstruck. Many of the Ponyville and Cloudsdale residents got to witness the power of Hoopa. And it was a terrific one.

"Were you surprised?" Hoopa giggled as they were certainly surprised. And also terrified by two things. The appearance of their Princess who they were able to recognize instantly thanks to her mane plus the presence of Luna, Gardevoir and Arcanine.

This meant one thing. Hoopa visibly snatched and potentially kidnapped their ruler making Mayor Mare rush over, lowering her head rapidly out of fear. "Ah! Princess Celestia! My greatest apologies for this happening?!"

"What just happened? One minute I was in Sinnoh and now..." Celestia uttered, looking at her surroundings and noticing familiar faces everywhere. "Ash? Everyone?"

"Princess Celestia?! Is that you?!" The ponies all exclaimed upon seeing their princess in her Human Form. A first-time experience that would be forever engraved in their heads.

"...Sweet." Some ponies rather liked this new look. It would take some time for many of them to get adjusted to it but for the most part, at least they make out that it was their esteemed and benevolent ruler.

"It sure is. Ta-dah~" Celestia spun around. "I'm not sure how I got here but...nice to see you all!"

"Hoopa did it! It was Hoopa!" Hoopa admitted it was him that bought Celestia here. "Were you surprised? Were you?"

"I certainly was." Celestia showed no negativity towards Celestia after he pulled her here. "But did you have to do it with such force"

"Sorry. Hoopa felt something holding you back."

"That would be us." Luna raised her hoof before standing up. "Where are we even?"

"PokeStar Studios, Princess Luna," said Mayor Mare. "We were actually waiting for Princess Celestia to show up if we could get her...but it looks like this Hoopa Pokemon solved it so easily."

"Ooh! The place where the movies are made?! Wonderful!" Celestia giggled with joy before clapping rapidly.

"Hang on. You can just bring anyone here?" Rarity asked after witnessing Hoopa's stupendous power.

"That's right! Hoopa just needs a name and sometimes a face! Nothing is impossible for Hoopa! Except for bringing Jirachi over. No fair, Rift. Playing dirty." Hoopa pouted.

"Really now?" Applejack and Rarity both said. Seeing Celestia show up here gave them a clear idea and suggestion. After reading the Galaxy Master comics, one thing came to mind. The safety of their little sisters. And there was only one way to make sure they would be close to their sisters as soon as possible.

And Hoopa was the answer to that.

"Hoopa. Could you do one thing for us?" Rarity and Applejack slid over, having the same wish in mind.

"So, what movie are you all making?" Celestia asked. "Is it done? Can I see it?"

"Well, it's a movie about Equestria. We just needed you here, your majesty. Since we were planning on making you the start of this one." Mayor Mare explained. "How does that sound?"

"Lovely!" Celestia was all for it. "But...I'd like Luna to be my co-star. I wish to do it with my sister. Especially since she needs something fun after what's been happening so far?"

"Eh? Me?" Luna sat up. "Oh...that's nice of your sister."

"Princess. Acting in a movie can be somewhat different from acting in a theatre play." Twilight suggested. Celestia had been given lessons in acting before during the previous Pokemon Festival but she remained silent through that entire play since she played the role of Arceus. This one would require lines. "I mean...you'll have an entire script to work with."

"Oh. I have to speak? That will be easy." Celestia shrugged. "I've got this. No need to worry, Twilight."

"Why am I starting to worry then?" sighed the Princess of Friendship. Meanwhile, dropping on her head were the Cutie Mark Crusaders thanks to Hoopa's ring. The three of them alongside Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon arrived causing Twilight to fall over.

"Hoopa did it again!" Hoopa announced after granting the wishes of Applejack and Rarity.

"Ugh...Why would you do that?" Sweetie Belle asked, groaning as Hoopa seemed to pull them in at the worst time. Many felt nervous about this since Hoopa could just do what he wanted with minimal limitations. It terrified them of what he could potentially bring over.

"He's sort of like a little Discord and that scares me." Carrot Top said.

"I thought that was the Unown." But thank goodness most of them are small." Berry Punch replied, giggling right afterwards. On the bright side, they all hadn't witnessed Hoopa's Unbound Form.

"Is uh...is no one going to question the other Twilight in the room?" Amethyst Star was the only one paying attention to the fact that there was another Twilight Sparkle here. Her Human Counterpart after all.

PokeStar Studios was now flooded with Equestrians at this point. Perfect considering the movie they were about to make. And with the main star here, they could truly begin. Everyone would pitch in with their expertise with production being in full swing. Granted, a majority of them had little experience with this but those who did would help out.

Ash, Fluttershy, Lyra, Derpy, the CMC and even Cynthia, each chiming in. Then there was Meloetta, looking for a dress to wear in case she was added in. In fact, she really wanted to be in. From before, Ash recommended that she went for Rarity. And right now, Rarity was within her vicinity.

"Oh, look at you." Rarity spotted Meloetta while holding a dazed Sweetie Belle. "Aren't you a beautiful Pokemon to look at? You remind me of a smaller Pheromosa."

"M-Melo." Meloetta hovered over, keeping one of the dresses that Hoopa summoned just to show Rarity, hoping she could understand her wishes.

"Hmmm...I understand." Being around Pokemon who have great fashion sense gave Rarity a clear mind on what certain Pokemon wanted. Plus, the dress was a dead giveaway. "Come with me, alright?"

"Meloetta!"

And of course, making this movie involved many of them simply talking with each other, not in a rush to make it. They could take their time with this and it made it all the more better when they interacted. And Sci-Twi along with Bertha, Hilbert and Hilda Victini, Meloetta and Hoopa got to see how they got along.

It was an absolute mess. The best kind of Mess. The kind of mess that makes it feel familiar especially with how some of them had their banter. And most of it would result in frantic movements.

If this film ends up being successful, they will surely bring film studios over to Equestria. But more than that...imagine the money we could make from this!" Octavia's eyes flashed with bits in them. She was thinking about how much she could make from this.

"Oooh! You're right!" Berry Punch replied along with Derpy. "We could gain something around...8 Million Pokedollars! And probably 100 bits!"

"8 million and a hundred?!" Derpy gasped. "That's a lot for both sides."

"It is. And if by chance, which this is most likely, the movie gets praised for its soundtrack, I think with all the hard work I'd put into it, each currently should be split by 5% for everyone. 90, 5 and another 5." Octavia believed her music would elevate this film. So she wished to get the most out of it.

"You only want 5%?" Derpy replied. "Thanks for the rest then~"

"What?! I'm the majority, muffins!" Octavia bellowed, causing Berry Punch to giggle at this exchange.

"Perfect! Yoou look amazing in this!" Rarity sorted out the best dress for Meloetta. She saw what fit the Melody Pokemon the most and judging by Meloetta's expression, it was a smash-hit. The light pink dress covered her shoulders almost fully and flows down into an elegant sweetheart neckline. It's a loose fit which makes the dress look comfortable, yet elegant and stylish.

Her arms have been covered fully. The sleeves are a tight, but comfortable fit from top to bottom, allowing for enough movement while still looking fancy and somewhat royal.

"Meloetta!" Satisfied with this design and how much it worked for her. She's wearing platforms, which matched the dress perfectly. To top it all off she's wearing a simple, but stylish necklace and several elegant bracelets.

"And the same goes for you." Just as a bonus, Victini had been dragged into this and he wasn't keen on it compared to Meloetta's joy. If there was one thing he shared in common with Ash, he didn't look to be a big fan of suits. But this suit looked flashy enough to be Victini's distinct style.

He's wearing a blazing orange shirt and buttoned it up fully to support the graceful bow tie he's wearing. On top of the shirt he's wearing a classy vest with 7 buttons, it has a narrow v-line that perfectly matched his name and insignia on his head, which allowed for the top to remain visible even when the suit's jacket is buttoned up. There was even a nice flame pattern on it to represent his Fire-Typing.

The jacket fits him like a glove, a tailored glove. It has a tight herringbone pattern which gives the suit a more formal and elegant look. A playful touch to a classy look even if Victini could do without it.

"Tini..."

"Here's some concept art for the Wendigos." Thunderlane lent Amethyst Star concept art.

"Uhh...Oh, dear..." Amethyst Star gazed at the concept art, immediately criticizing it. "This is ridiculously childish for concept art. "Who drew this? An actual child?"

"Mmmm...!" The one who drew it was indeed a child. One of the Ponyville Schoolhouse Children. Aura drew it as she began whimpering, startling Amethyst.

"Gah! I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I didn't think a child actually made this!" Amethyst apologized. Wait! Why is a child making Concept Art in the first place?!" 

"There's more where that came from!" Thunderlane used his wings to reveal more concept art. "I should warn you...not everyone here's a great artist. Including me."

"Great..." Amethyst sighed. "On the bright side, at least I'm still the organizer here.

"Aw,  have to transform back? But I love this Human Form?" Celestia pouted. "I have fingers that can do so much it's astronomical."

"We need your original form for the film, your majesty. It will only be brief." Mayor Mare pleaded to Celestia who grew so fond of her human form that she felt too comfortable in it.

"They're a lively bunch, aren't they?" Bertha said to Cynthia. "I should've visited their world sooner."

"Mhm. You should see them when they're at the Pokemon School. The energy they bring works so well with what we have here. All the more reason to keep them around." Cynthia responded.

"It'd be a shame to have such a colourful cast forget about all of this," Bertha added, surveying how Ash and everyone interacted with each other. "Seems like Ash here has amassed around 151 friends."

"It's more than that Bertha. By the end of it all, I think we'll go past that number cap as well with how things are going."

"I wish Darkrai and the others were here to see this..." Luna missed her Pokemon still, wishing they were here to indulge in this frantic and fun mess. "But. I have full faith I'll see them again." And yet, she had confidence. Not only that, but she was surrounded by more friends rather than just her Pokemon. And in addition, she was surrounded by family.

"This is all a parallel to my world. I could have this..." Sci-Twi realized that many of these ponies resembled the people back at Canterlot High. These were their counterparts for sure. It dawned on her. Friends of this size could soon be with her. And for Twilight, that would be amazing. "Wow..."

"Yeah. It's great, ain't it?" Ash walked over. "All of this is. When you're not battling, it's great to just be here with those you love. Chilling out with friends and family is just the best! Even if mom isn't here right now."

"Pikachu."

"Yeah. And I guess I have more friends coming my way. The Alpha Pokemon. I'll need a bigger room for them though. It's already getting a bit crowded." Sci-Twi chuckled before looking down at Alpha Pikachu. Alpha Pikachu nudged her leg in response.

"Did you say Alpha Pokemon?" Mayor Mare heard Sci-Twi after she brought up an Alpha Pokemon. "There should be one nearby. At least, it looks big enough to be an Alpha Pokemon.

"Nearby?! Really?! Where?!" Sci-Twi leaned in.

"Not sure but you'll find it here." Mayor Mare winked before having Stoutland toss over a newspaper for her to catch. "Oh. Don't wear that!" She then quickly rushed off to oversee the rest of the film process.

"Well, we know what we're doing after this." Eager to search for more Alpha Pokemon, a pat on the back was given to Sci-Twi by Ash. "First, let's see how this film turns out!"

"Ah! Wouldn't it be better to go now?!" She followed him, continuing to involve herself with all the antics that come with this group. Sci-Twi didn't know it yet but she was now a part of this group, whether she was Twilight's counterpart or not.

Everyone here was like one big family from how they bonded together. Whether they be human, pony, Pokemon etc, they get along in their own unique ways. Gentle or rowdy, bold or brash. It's all the same and all the more fun. To keep something so wonderful around was the wish of everyone here. A wish that can only be made possible in the best way. By working together.

That kind of power that brings others together truly cannot be matched by many if not anything. A wonderful thing for two wonderful worlds as the journey continues.
