"Hmm?" Raiden's ears suddenly stood up out of nowhere while Flash and Twilight were doing more research on the mysterious chest the tree of harmony spat out.
"Something up, Raiden?" Twilight asked.
"I know that look bud; you only get like that when you sense a powerful thunderstorm nearby like the ones Zekrom tends to make." Lightning said.
"There's a powerful electrical charge alright, but I dare say this one makes Zekrom look like a Rattata in comparison." Raiden said.
"How powerful is Zekrom exactly?" Flash asked.
"Well, back when humans still existed on this planet, every part of it was divided into what are known as regions. And one of those regions was the Unova region. Quick fun fact: That is the only one of two parts of the planet that still goes by it's regional name." Lightning said.
"Surely, there's a reason behind that." Sunset said.
"You got that right. With Unova specifically, it's because long ago there was a single dragon that created the hottest flames, generated the strongest electrical currents, and brought the coldest winters. But one day, two individuals fought over this one dragon, and it split into three different dragons. One was the wilder of the Flame of Truth Reshiram. The second was the bringer of Shocking Ideals Zekrom. These first two parts sided with the two youths before they both began to fight with each other. Reshiram sided with the youth who only spoke the truth. Zekrom sided with the youth who held visions of high ideals. Eventually, these two dragons fought each other to the bring of death, and in their last moments before they became naught but stones, they ruined the land around them. The site of the charred land would eventually become the Unova region." Lightning said.
"But what happened with the third dragon? You said the original dragon split into three different dragons." Twilight said.
"Well, the third dragon that was born, became devoid of both truth and ideals, becoming a Cold Husk. That dragon was Kyurem. And when it split off from the original dragon, it landed in a vast forest. There's a town in the Unova region that even after humans were either killed off or turned into pokemon, where there's a curfew once the sun sets and pokemon stay indoors out of fear of the nearby creator. Even now after it was revealed that the only thing in that creator was Kyurem, the town is still fearful that there's a much worse threat in that creator." Lightning said. "Sometimes things like that just cause so much superstition, that it becomes a normal way of life even after the human age."
"So, Zekrom is pretty darn powerful, huh?" Flash asked.
"Yep. There are certain pokemon whose power is on a whole different level. Even though humans dubbed them 'legendary pokemon' which is something that they themselves created for those Pokemon whose power is far greater then an ordinary Pokemon, the term pretty much stuck." Lightning said. "And Zekrom is one of those Legendary Pokemon."
"So, whatever's heading our way, is something with more power then a legendary?!" Twilight exclaimed.
The group headed outside to chase Raiden who suddenly bolted to the town square. And it became apparent why, there was a bunch of cackling electricty in the sky, which then landed.
And as the cackled more and started to die down, suddenly a Raichu with strange patterns was revealed. And it was strong. Really strong. To top it off, it had lightning fast reflexes the likes even Twilight had never seen before.
"What is this thing?!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Don't know, but it does not seem friendly." Raiden said.
"Think it's an Ultra Beast?" Lightning asked.
"Given the power and speed of this thing? I'd say that's a given." Raiden said.
Ultra Beast?
Strange Raichu
It didn't take long for the rest of the elements to arrive as well as the entire Shadowbolt Squad.
"We got here as soon as we could. Is this another Ultra Beast?" Night Wing asked.
"Given how fast it's moving and how powerful those electric blasts seem to be, I'd say that this is an Ultra Beast. Not sure why this one looks a lot like a Raichu, but then again, I doubt all the various Ultra Beasts have even been discovered." Raiden said.
"Something not right though. I think it's holding back most of it's power." Rainbow Dash said.
"I think you may be right. I'm sensing it has the capabilities of turning out a lot more power then this. Is it toying with us?" Twilight said.
"Maybe...maybe it just wants to fight us to see what kind of creatures we are?" Fluttershy asked.
"Your the animal expert right? Can you tell what it's even saying?" Bart asked.
"No...no I can't. And this isn't like that Nihilego where I could just barely make out what it was saying." Fluttershy said.
"Wait, you could somewhat understand that thing? Wait, why am I asking this? This is you we're talking about." Rainbow Dash said as she dodged the mysterious Raichu.
"But this thing...I can't understand a word. I'm sorry." Fluttershy said.
"Well, if it just wants to test us, let's not disappoint." Twilight said. After further battling though...
"That's enough." A male voice called out. What appeared was a Stallion with the same markings as the Raichu which then suddenly went to the stallion's side. "You really didn't have to do this. I was fully capable of testing them myself." The stallion said. The strange Raichu made it's noises. "I keep telling you, I'm not a little kid anymore." The Stallion said.
"Wha--I'm confused." Pinkie PIe said.
"If Pinkie Pie is confused, then it's something that goes beyond even her." Rainbow Dash said.
"My apologies, I did not expect Sparky to be so gung-ho about testing you. Are any of you hurt?" The stallion asked.
"We're fine. You call that Ultra Beast Sparky then?" Lightning asked.
"Ultra Beast? You mean those aliens? Sparky's not like them. He actually comes from the other world as do I." The Stallion said. "The name's Rex; Rex Lauran. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said.
