It had been a whole year since the downfall and end of Team Eclipse and Lothor the Alola Region finally knowing true peace once again. For the Sun Princess, Sarah Tomoe, life couldn’t get any better.
Currently, it was early June in the year 2503 and she (now 18 years old) was flying overhead across the sea and Melemele Island’s forest areas onboard her Light Fury, Winter, carrying out her new duties to the region and watching all the wild Pokémon in the island living their lives peacefully and happily as they should.
With the return of her birth parents, King Doug and Queen Delilah, and the Alola Royal Hierarchy restored given their recently formed alliance with the region’s government but now representing a newfound democracy, allowing them to return to power but this time as Alola’s Presidential Royals, the little princess had been working hard on her achieved dream of being the region’s diplomatic peace ambassador.
On that front, she was left in charge of furthering and bringing peace to people and Pokémon, hoping to improve their relations and assure the Rainbow Pokémon, Ho-Oh, and government officials that both species can live together in true cooperation and harmony. It was hard work and very demanding of her but she took it all in stride and with her parents’ full confidence, already got into contact with the Unova, Sinnoh, Hoenn, Galar, and Kalos Champions (Aldar, Cynthia, Steven Stone, Gloria, and Alain) to assist in her mission, which they all accepted and with renewed determination and faith in her hope for the future.
Away from her diplomatic missions, she also served as a part-time junior cop assisting Officer Jenny from time to time in finding, capturing, and arresting Pokémon Hunters and poachers with the assistance of her Deadly Nadder dragon couple, Skystorm and Flystorm, and their daughters, Pearl, Diamond, and Amethyst (all three of which are now in their Short-Wing stage). It was an adequate job for them to be saddled with on account of their keen sense of smell which allowed them to help Jenny find and capture the crooks while discovering and freeing the poached wild Pokémon they’ve snagged (and that’s on top of getting adequate paychecks for their service).
They’ve done their job so well that in thanks for their help, some of the wild Pokémon they freed ended up staying with their saviors such as a female Altaria (Claudia), a male Shiny Sceptile (Evergreen), a male Torterra (Tectonic), and a female Meganium (Sakura), whom Sarah was only too happy to accept.
Now, the Light Fury and her rider were just returning home from another successful patrol and rescue operation to her family’s new castle, situated and built atop of a large hill overlooking Melemele Island in its entire tropical splendor. No sooner had they touched down upon reaching the door, they were immediately greeted by three familiar shouts bellowing, “MAMA!”
They looked towards the culprits and they saw three Night Light dragon hatchlings streaking towards them from one of the castle’s exterior gardens excitedly as they chattered about, overjoyed at them returning home. They were her children known simply as Dart, Pouncer, and Ruffrunner.
But, they weren’t the only ones to greet them when they came back; joining them soon after was Shadow, Winter’s mate and their children’s father, the other Night Furies - the pair created from her Dragon Heart Scepter; Starlight and Eclipse, the pair they found during their Jungle Fury adventure; Cansu and Asra and the two eggs they rescued more than two years ago; Zorya and Hawkeye (both now Short Wings as well).
The Snowtail Trio - Viola, Nivia, and Xuē, The Night Light Family - Aegis the Elder Night Light, Haze the Adult Male Night Light, Gale the Adult Female Night Light, Gale and Haze's children - Zap, Splattertail and Goggles and the Titan Wing Mist Twister - Elder and Alder, the Singetails – Inferno, Nova, and their daughter: Sunset, the Stormcutters – Starfire, Reignstorm, and their son: Crescent, the Monstrous Nightmares – Sunflare, Phoenix, and their sons: Pyre and Wildfire, the two Hideous Zipplebacks – Mist and Spark, and their Titan Wings parents: Ruby and Sapphire, the Razorwhips – Silver and Whiplash, and their daughter: Skylar, and the Triple Strykes – Venom and Rosethorn, and their daughter: Flora.
They were also joined by the rest of Winter and Shadow’s friends and their kids including the Dramillions – Camo and Rosa (Titan Wings) and their kids: Ocean, Tidal, Mimic, Sunflower, and Violet, Skrill the Voltage, the Death Song and Slithersong, Echo and Melody along with their adopted daughter, Cantana, Twilight and Dawn the Deathgrippers and their children/adoptive pack members - Viper, Wyvern, Rhaegal, Kayda, Edna, Bane, Toxin, Nero Shotgun, Carnage and Ymui, Lilac the Terrible Tremor, Hydro the Tide Glider, Hurricane the Windwalker, Rubble the Gronckle, Boulder the Shovelhelm, Mirage and the Changeling, Flo the Threadtail, Charger the Rumblehorn and finally, Puff, Big Buff, Spike and Appa the Buffalords.
The latest additions to the family were the Sky Torcher Couple; Neema and Tumani.
At this time, the younger members of each flock (Zorya, Hawkeye, Sunset, Pyre and Wildfire, Crescent, Flora, Viper, Wyvern, Rhaegal, Kayda, Edna and, Cantana) were all in their Short Wings stage and this boded well for Cantana since she’s almost as tall as her parents and was no longer the runt of the litter. Starlight and Eclipse were two years old now. Dart, Pouncer, and Ruffrunner ended up being the same size due to their having Dwarfism, a condition they didn’t mind having since they would’ve preferred to stay small.
“Welcome home, Sarah, Dear,” smiled Shadow, approaching his mate and nuzzling her.
“I take it another successful patrol coupled with a rescue mission, darling?” Lilac questioned with a smile.
“Yep, another poacher or two that tried to make off with a hefty group from up north,” replied Winter as she waddled over.
“So, who are the lucky Pokémon coming to live with us by any chance?” Dawn quizzed.
“I’m certain you must have some contenders who would want to have a second chance in life by our hands and paws?” asked Nova.
“Sorry, Dawn, Nova, no new Pokémon today, I’m afraid. Officer Jenny and I agreed to have them returned to the wild after we freed them,” chuckled Sarah.
“You’ve been clearing out every last Pokémon Hunter and poacher trying to make money off of giant Pokémon sales on the black market since you’ve became a junior cop around the globe, kid,” admitted Inferno admirably. “There have been barely any reports on Pokémon thefts anywhere in some of the other regions going on.”
“Well, I had Skystorm, Flystorm, and their daughters giving us a hand. I was surprised when Officer Jenny offered them a job in the police force after they closed their first case but they seemed to take a liking to the job,” replied the princess knowingly. “Knowing them now, it’s a breeze and its second nature to them given how much of a breeze it’s been with their sense of smell and they got paychecks out of that.”
“Makes fighting the Hunters in our world as much as a breeze.” Phoenix grinned happily. “Your taking them down too.”
“Yes, but there’s gotta be so much more going on your world, giving the Six Spirits of Disharmony and the Nameless God may arise sometime in the future.” Sarah quipped.
“Heh, I knew you’d be back when I heard those rascals crying out for their mommy, Mother,” snarked a familiar voice before Sarah and the dragons were greeted by an army of over 200 Pokémon which turned out to be the extensive Pokémon half of her family.
Amongst them included Silvally (his brother Tou-Tou being with Race the Hoenn Battle Frontier Champion and his trainer’s boyfriend and his second brother being with Lillie’s brother Gladion), her family’s Alolan Persian – Lolita, Milotic and Aqua the Primarina, her Pikachu – Blitz, her Midday, Midnight, and Dusk Form Lycanroc Quartet – Roco, Misa, Luna, and Dusk along with her Galarian Rapidash and her kids: Scorch (Raboot), Wooloo, Galarian Ponyta, and Yamper, the Meowstic Siblings (Danny and Danielle), Candy the Shiny Ampharos, Goodra, Eevee, Skitty, Sylveon, Noctowl, the Unova Starters: Snivy, Oshawott, and Tepig, and the Eevee Squad (Umbreon and his daughters: Jolteon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, Flareon, and Vaporeon).

Her fossil Pokémon joining them had the likes of Arctozolt and Dracozolt, Dracovish, her Shiny Tyrantrum and Aurorus along with her normal Tyrunt and Amaura, and her Rampardos which evolved from Cranidos during the year. With the addition of the Cyroceros Couple (Nico and Saba), the Infernoble Couple (Enya and Apollo) and the Ocrown Couple (Azul and Azula), which were all a part of Sarah’s Conservation Project of their species along with the Night Fury, Buffalord, Storm Dragon and Westeros Dragons.
In addition to them, they were also joined by Cufant, Cinderace, her Shiny Arcanine and his Hiusian Mate, Tundra the Alolan Ninetales, the Pyroar Twins – Kion and Kiara with their Pyroar Pride (6 females; Sarabi, Nala, Sarafina, Tifu, Zuri and Cinder and 2 males; Kovu and Simba), Luxray and his mate - Rayna and her Shinx and Litleo cubs/Luxrays' adoptive children - Levana, Gem and Gemma and Charlotte, Piper, Ray and Henry). By now all of them had reached their final evolutions and were now a family of Luxray.
Wigglytuff, Chansey, Beautifly, Audino, Seviper, and her Shiny Talonflame, Haxorus, and Sawsbuck, each of them looking delighted to see Winter and Sarah back.
They weren’t the only ones as her group involved newly discovered Eveelutions, pokemon from the Forest of Okoya and Pokemon from Cyberspace; Guardeon and his family (Veneon, Spookeon, Brawleon, Craggeon, Manteon, Helioseon, Seleoneon, Thundereon and Breezeon). The whole Jungle Guard; Tai Lung the Shiny Zeraora and Sarah’s Zeraora’s mate, Medusa the Sandaconda, Ghost the Dragapult, Tyson the Infernape, Cobalt the Lucario and Star’s mate and Amber the Shiny Charizard. Along with them were the young Jungle Pokemon whom were more than a year old now; Braixen, Donphan, Altaria, Quilava and their elder siblings, Prinplup, Frosmoth, Appletun and Gogoat.
Her Cyberspace Pokemon which she received after that misadventure included Wang Lun - Urshifu Duel Strike Style, a pride of Snolion, Snolioness and Iccubs which were ice variants of Lion-like Pokemon. The King and Queen of the pride were Kamikaze and Umbra while Kamikaze's sisters were Nirmala, Rani, Chuluun, Janna, Vitani, Shabaha, Tazama, Imara and Kasi and Umbra’s brothers were Boilyo, Suruk, Makucha, Tindo. The Iccubs of the pride were three females and two males named Moseka, Sengo, Leki, Nandi and Olee respectively.
They were together with Kion and Kiara’s pride. Moseka, Sengo, Leki, Nandi and Olee had all evolved into their male and female evolved forms by now.

The gift Cyberchase Pokemon were Vakourna, a Drazen nicknamed Tuliza, Staguar, Tigamar, Sabreak and three other variants of her Pokemon. Viholian Variant of Pyroar named Vale, Toxin the Luxciore whom was a snowy manticore version of Totem Luxray and Raja - a Galarian Arcanine recently discovered.
They were also not the only ones as her group involving the Mythical, Legendary, and Totem Pokémon in her stead showed Sonic the Totem Togedemaru, Nitro the Totem Vikavolt, Totem Marowak, The Species Pokemon - Mew, the Order Pokemon - Zygarde (currently in her 10% form), Nebby and Nebula (now fully grown up and looking like their creators), her Urshifu Dual Strike Style named Wang Lun, the Galar Warriors - Zacian and Zamazenta, Zarude nicknamed Nyasi, her Shiny Latios and Latias, Calyrex (in Ice Rider Form) and his sons: Glastrier and Spectrier, Eternatus, her honorary mentors – the Swords of Justice: Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo, and her savior, Zeraora and his apprentice, Zorua.
In addition to them was the Lunar Pokemon herself, Cresselia, the Primal Pokemon created by the nefarious Dr. Zin before escaping and bring found by Sarah and her family including Primal Charizard, Primal Boltund, Arkanian Amaura, Arkanian Tyrunt named Talon, Hikari, Frostbite and Chomper respectively while their parents Arkanian Tyrantrum and Aurora were under her adoptive parents care named Hailstorm and Obsidian.
Also in this extensive family was her male Naganadel - Duke, the Lake Trio; Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie, the Shiny Legendary Beasts; Suicune, Raikou and Entei and Seth, the elder brother of Mallow’s Shaymin which migrated with the rest of its kind. Tao - the Shiny Kyurem, Ho-Oh, Lucifer - a Shiny male Giratina.
Espathra, Tony and Jessie - Sarah's male and female Kirlia, Dachsbun, Spartan - the male Persian and his Meowth Gang (Garfield, Simon, Bengal, Mint and Neko) and Meowzie - whom were blessed to be with her by Mewtwo after the Genetic Pokemon rescued them from trainer abandonment, neglect and abuse at unspecific times.
Her Paldea Region Pokemon included Zelda - Virizions' Future Relative named Iron Leaves, Link - Suicunes' Past Relative named Walking Wake, Chein Po, his three brothers: Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu and Wo-Chien and Muffin the Fidough were playing with the youngsters of the family.
Relaxing beside her grumpy Eternatus was Angel and Rebel - Sino-Spino hybrid twins, Bumpy and her family - Ankylosaurus, Blue, Charlie, Delta and Razor - the Velociraptor Pack, the Atrociraptor Pack - Tiger, Ghost, Panthera and Red, Firestar and Bluestar - Smilodon Couple and Indoraptor and Indominous Rex - White Fang and Zalika.
Currently, her family guardians and her parents along with their partners, Persian (Lolita’s mother) and Mischief, Doug and Delilah’s partners, as well as Zorro the Sceptile, Blossom the Shiny Serperior, Sokka the Shiny Samurott, and her old babysitter, Kurma the Torterra were out on a diplomatic trip to the Sinnoh Region. They wouldn’t be back for a week until whatever matters they’re attending to were done which gave Sarah, Tsukumaro, and the rest of their family time to themselves while they were gone.
“Hey, guys,” replied the princess as she gently rubbed Silvally’s head.
“I suppose you and Winter had a safe and successful patrol around the region for any hunter stragglers following your little rescue mission, Little Bird?” asked Zacian, smiling at her.
“You wouldn’t believe it – zero stragglers, no Pokémon captured again, no traps anywhere, nothing funny going on, zip/nada/zilch. Looks like Alola’s streets and nature on all four islands have all finally been cleared away thanks to us and Skystorm and her family.”
“I take it you were successful in dealing with that poacher from the news, Princess?” smiled Virizion.
“Piece of cake, he was nothing but a pushover the way he’s been getting on. Nobody’s bothering to capture and sell them in the black market after we came along,” said Sarah to the Grassland Pokémon. “And, with all of the Pokémon he and his buddy captured free and back in the wild, I doubt anybody would dare to try and poach any more Pokémon while we’re around.”
“You’re getting better at this whole junior cop thing the way you and your dragons took them down,” admitted Keldeo admiringly. “Maybe Officer Jenny should promote you to being a full-fledged cop for your help in the huge number of cases you’ve closed by now.”
“And, with how you excelled at being an honorary Pokémon/Human Relations ambassador, you might put a few of the world’s diplomatic representatives to shame. He-he-he-he-he,” Terrakion sniggered. “You’re literally the youngest diplomat in the relations between humans and Pokémon in years!”
“Well, I’m glad you think that but still, I’m just happy to be back home with all of you. Come on,” she said, entering the castle as her family joined her, all vying for the chance to relax and enjoy some much-needed family time.
Reaching the Pokémon Dragon Heart Dome, having been moved to the back of her family’s new castle and now connected to her new royal bedroom, everybody began to relax.
Her adoptive parents Palismens; Harley and Oreo, and her own Kitten Palismen, Mittens (all in their Live Forms) appeared happily meowing and chirping at the sight of her appearance.
Flying above happily were Sarah’s Mythical family members; Tesla the female Thunderbird, Sheena, Callisto the female Moon Phoenix, Sunce the male Twin Tailed Inferno Tooth Tiger, Storm and Talon - the Hippogriff Couple, the Occamy Couple - Orion and Orchard, Prryah the Fire Dragon and her adoptive son, Avel the Storm Dragon, Sapphira the Antipodean Opaleye and her eight to seven year old Westros Dragon children; Drogon and Zephyr and her adoptive children; Viserion, Sunfyre (5 years old) and Summer (1 year old).
Shenna and Summer were one year old, Viserion and Sunfyre were 6 years old now, the size of Drogon and Zephyr and Summer was now 8 years old.
On the ground relaxing with her pokemon were the Nifflier Trio - Pumpkin, Pumpernickel and Pepper (all 1 year old) Aku the Shadowpaw, Faraji the Dragon Phoenix, Hydra the Runespoor, Nimbus the Horned Serpent (whom was swimming in the center lake with the Sea Serpent Couple - Desta and Esme), Farleap the Zouwu, Mihimu the Qilin, Kybui the Jui Wei Hu, Shauku the ShiShi, and her Wampus Cat family; Wanda, Will and their three kittens whom were 1 year and 4 months old now; Felix, Cosmo and Lyla.
Beside them was Dragonstone Patrol; an 16 strong elite team of 8-9 year old pups whom help her keep the peace in the Archipelago when attending to her duties. The main members being:
Harmony - the German shepherd/Husky/Shiba Inu mix and Police Pup, Jazz - the English/Welsh Springer Spaniel mix and Aviator Pup, Aurora - the Akita and Australian Retriever Mix and Scientist/Inventor Pup, Meadow - the Australian Cattle Dog and Farming Pup, Zoey - the Shollie (a mix of a German Sheppard and Border Collie) and Paramedic Pup, Cam - the German Shepard/Shiba Inu mix and the Engineering Pup, Arcia - the Mixed Breed and Builder Pup, Brooke - the Mixed Breed and the Security Guard Pup.
The secondary members being Mei - the Saint Benard and Search and Rescue Pup, Blue the Australian Shepard and Husky Mix and Archieologist Pup, Axe the King Shepard and Miner Pup, Trooper - the Siberian Husky/German Shepard and Ace Tracker Pup, Barley - the Goberian and Barker Pup, Hayden - the Carolina and Spy Pup and Boarder Collie Siblings Heart and Tail whom respectively were Dragonologist/Fire Rescue Pup (Heart) and Magizoologist/Water Rescue Pup (Tail).
Being watched over by them and Scoutland were the trainees of the Junior Patrol Program - a program for young pups whom want to be in the PAW Patrol in the future.
They were rightfully named the Junior Patrollers; Tot, Nano and Mini - the Pomeranians and the Buddies (all mixed breeds): Rosebud, B-Dawg, Budderball, Buddha and Mudbud whom were all being mentored by Liberty - Sarah's Dachshund female whom she adopted after her and the PAW Patrols' first escapades in Adventure City, and Cadence, Ryder's Winged Malamute Pup.
Also relaxing was her eldest adoptive Alicorn daughter/Sunny's adoptive big sister, Edge Blade - an Alicorn created by Opaline in Equestria but she split once she learned what Opaline was really about, and the Fillies Three (two Alicorn and one Pegasus) whom she escaped with - Tempest Sparkle, Snowdrop Winterfell and Glimmer Glow - all of whom were 1 year old now.
Playing with the babies was her own female Equestria Dragon - Petunia and her two Draconequus hybrids (2 of 3 created by the Mane Five) - Gleaming Aurora (or Gleam for short) and Jupiter along with her Dragonets: Aster, the SeaWing/SkyWing Hybrid, Azure and Warner - the NightWings (all of whom were 1 year old) and other 1 year old Dragonets she's adopted during the year:
For the one year olds were Finch - a male SkyWing, Arcoiris and Macaw - female RainWings and for the eldest Dragonets were Kalahari - a 4 year old SandWing and Aloe - 3 year old SandWing.
Hydro and Hurricane along with Dracovish, Aqua, Milotic, Oshawott and Vaporeon were having a lovely swim while the rest including Claudia, Evergreen, Tectonic and Sakura either basked in the sun, chatting away on whatever’s happening with them on their ends, or playing around like normal. Rubble, in the latter’s case, was playing with and babysitting the baby dragons as he had done so many times before.
But he did it with help from Jakanee, a Water Dragon with Light Magic whom Sarah and her family befriended during their adventure with Raya and her friends. During the year, they had some more adventures and gained some more family members.
Queen Esme, a pure white 8 years old lioness and Queen of the Ohana Pride including such members:
Musuli Sisters: Alia the eldest at 5 years old, Audrey the Middle Child and Ebba the youngest whom were 4 years old and their found family;
Ahadi and Jiwe whom 6 years old now, Mawli was 4 years, Chai and Pasha were 1 year and 6 months, Namiri the Black Panther was 3 years old, Tilly was 1 year and 5 months old, Crowley the Wolf was 3, Iroh and Karoo were now 2 years and 5 months old, Delilah the Sans Cat was now 3 years old, River was 1 year and 7 months, Mhina was 1 year and 8 months old, Kanzi and Sefu were both 2 years old and finally, Daudi and Kai were 1 year and 2 months old - still the youngest out of the pride.
They’re most recent addition was Tori, the Shire Horse from their Brave Adventure with Hiccup, Toothless, Loki, Charmeleon and Stoick.
Yes, this extraordinary family never seemed to ever stop growing but Sarah loved it either way and didn’t want anything to change with them all.
As with Sarah, she was over at one of the tables strewn in the Dome for her family and friends to have tea and cakes, and the occasional family breakfast, lunch, or dinner whenever they would come to see how the Pokémon and dragons living there are doing.
She was currently polishing and maintaining the three family heirlooms that belonged to her, her father, and her mother respectively; they were the Twilight Amulet, the Sun Sword (aka Cosmic Grace), and the Moon Shield. While she owned the Twilight Amulet (crafted for her specifically by her godfather), her parents ultimately passed their own family relics down to her in recognition of her diligence, kindness, generosity, leadership, dedication, loyalty, and compassion of a true princess that was demanded of her.
As things in Alola started to wind down with the demise of Team Eclipse, the end of Team Rocket Syndicate and the end of Evox in Coral Harbor that coincided with the return and full humanization of Steel, her ranger team, the Power Rangers Ultra Rescue, wasn’t needed anymore. So, essentially, with her uncle and his syndicate gone, she and her friends have since retired as Power Rangers and went back to their normal lives and prepare for the Pokemon League.
Despite this, the little princess thought it best to be prepared for the worst and take up the call if needed (especially with her Dragon Princess duties), even after accepting her own retirement from her life as a Ranger with Doug and Delilah’s return. That was why she was permitted by Lusamine, Wicke, Burnet, Faba, Commander-Turned-General Shaw, Devon (now Commander of Grid Battleforce), Mayor Daniels, Ravi, Zoey, Nate, and Steel, to keep her morpher, her Poke-X Key, and her respective weapons and gear (her PRUR Uniform, her Beast-X King Ultra Bow, her Beast-X King Blaster and Solgaleo Blaster, her Beast-X Star Blaster (currently displayed in Sword & Dagger Mode), Lion Chucks, Panthera Morpher, Dragon Chargers, and her Zords: Beast-X King Zord – King, Fury Zords: Smilodon Zord – Saber, Mega Lion Zord - Mufasa, the BioZords - Carno the Carnozard, Chasa the Chasmazord, Para, May and Kui - the Parasaur, Miasaur and Fukisaur Zords and the Mezadon and Triassic Runner), just in case.
Along with her other Pokemon Weapons she got from her and her familys Cyberspace Misadventure; Dragon Sword, Psychic Spellbook, Flame Blade, Crystal Sword, Aura Lance and Poison Stars.
And, as thanks for helping their predecessors end Evox, General Shaw and Devon agreed to send Lusamine and the Aether Foundation the rest of the Morph-X they and all of Grid-Battleforce had managed to salvage after the Beast Morphers Rangers’ final battle for safekeeping and to continue powering the Heart Dome following Coral Harbor’s switch to using wind, water, and solar power for its new energy sources given the destruction of the Morph-X Tower System.
One of the smaller but more significant changes made to the Dome was that the dragons were now appearing a little more and with much more confidence no little-to-no suspicion of humanity today on what they’ll do with them. Ever since her encounter with Hiccup, Toothless, Zenna, and their friends on the Isle of Berk and steps in restoring the Dragonstone Kingdom, humanity around the world and in Alola had their initial opinions on the wild dragons changed and now they no longer regard them as enemies but as great friends as the Pokémon were.
The wild dragons, true to their trusting humanity now and for the most part, preferred to spend the rest of their lives in Alola’s large forests which the citizens didn’t mind in the least with their presence accepted and well-known. They now know they had been mingling with the wild Pokémon for generations but as an added precaution, given the kind of crazy antics troublemakers like Team Skull would still occasionally get at, Sarah made a decree that she would not permit capturing and forcing a wild dragon to be used against their will.
Ever since the decree was made, a few of the wild dragons chose to live peacefully within the castle’s boundaries including a couple of Tracker Class dragons called Rumblehorns that served as daily nighttime/daytime security and some large Boulder Class dragons called the Sentinals, resting motionless for days in the castle’s towers maintaining constant vigilance and living with five younger cousins to Sarah’s Dramillions, the Changewings, due to their expertise in their camouflage ability.
For Doug and Delilah, none of them minded having the wild dragons around one bit; as with Persian and Zoroark along with Lolita, they quickly came to see the three dragon parties as valuable allies pertaining to their security roles and great friends whenever they’re occasionally off-duty.
It was like any other Saturday Morning since peace settled on Alola and the world with the end of Evox and Team Eclipse. So much so, that while he enjoyed the tranquility that he and his family had been fighting for so long, Silvally soon grew bored and he was eager for another chance to have some fun. By that, he felt like he wanted to have another chance at adventure and excitement to happen as there was nothing else to do in his mind.
“Mother, we’ve been like this for a whole year ever since we kicked your uncle’s ass and, honestly…… Well, don’t get me wrong, I love this and we deserve some off time after everything we’ve done,” he began as he come over and laid himself down beside her.
“You and the others are my family along with Race and his team since they’re staying Alola. You’re his honorary godmother and all. After enjoying the good life since the Pokémon League and getting rid of that horde of world-eating Ultra Godzillas, I say time’s time to do something fun again. I mean, I’m tired of chilling out all the time. I need action; big time action, right now. You know what I mean?”
“I know what you mean, Silvally. But, you know how life tends to be whenever anything feels out of the ordinary at either the best or worst possible time,” replied his human mother. “You know how it went for us when Lothor and Team Eclipse were still around, right?”
“Yeah; we never go looking for trouble but trouble usually finds us. Hmph, by the way, you know that message about this surprise mission from Devon he gave us through an email? That one saying, ‘Don’t forget Operation 365’, that type of thing. Remember that, huh?”
“You mean, Steel’s first birthday as a human being? Yeah, I haven’t forgotten; my gifts are all inside the castle, I was gonna send them over to him and the others three days before duty called. Heh, kinda crazy, really; still can’t believe he and Blaze had landed an action movie deal and they’re already rising in the movie business with Blaze being his stunt double. Not to mention, Devon and Robbie’s mom being promoted to Commander and General, Ravi and Roxy finally tying the knot along with Nate and Zoey, both of them coming up with wind power and solar farms for Coral Harbor’s new energy resources to replace the Morph-X Towers and Zoey potentially running for future mayor, first FEMALE mayor, of Coral Harbor, Ben and Betty being Grid Battleforce’s top agents…… Those guys have come a long way since we’ve all met them and then started working together and last I’ve heard from both Ben and Betty, they’re on track to find Scrozzle and apprehend him with some help from Coronel Truman.”
“You mean the uptight and regulations stint of a father of that Red Ranger from the Power Rangers RPM? That authority hotshot known as Scott Truman, that guy, you mean?”
“The very same…...”
“Ah, Princess, I had a feeling you and Winter would return from your patrol just now,”
“Hey Island Girl,” called two voices from nearby.
The two of them looked over to the owners of the voice, eventually seeing Sarah’s godfather, now 48 years old, Tsukumaro Wong approaching her with his small Pokémon team comprising of Mulan’s mate, Absol, Sawsbuck’s other Deerling daughter: Bambi, Xatu, Togepi and her adoptive mother, Whimsicott, Oliver the Dragomy, Mae Ling the Obsuring and Mercuur - Sulfuur and Saltaar’s younger sister.
Alongside him was Sarah’s boyfriend, whom was 19 years old now, Race Konami and his team:
Bella the Pikachu, Robbie the Minikyu (and boyfriend), Cocoa - the Midday Form Lycanroc, Tou-Tou - the younger brother to Sarah’s Silvally, Rama - the Slowpoke, Aurorus, Kit and Ella - his Latios and Latias, Blaze - his Blaziken, Falcon - his Pidgeot and Calculator - his Metagross and his own gaggle of Cyberchase Pokémon:Orpheus the Reliquine, Torch the Burstallion, Thora the Apocalitz and his Gift Eight: Thunderailer, Infernhound, Aurequine, Permafrost, Elklace, Ochotony (Fighting Form), Panzeus and Zweice. Beside them was Mint Burn, the third hybrid created by the Mane Five whom was also one year old now - technically and Casper - his dog palismen (also in his Live Form).
Also a part of his team were Lapis, Vulcan and Sabre, the non Shiny Counterparts to Suicune, Entei and Raikou and the Shiny Spacial and Temporal Pokemon named Cascade and Chrome.
Along with her reincarnated sister whom was the first child of Nikki and James whom was kidnapped by Dr. Zin when she was only 10 years old and held captive by him for 17 years. The name of said 28 year old was Asha.
Originally, she was suppose to be trained to be a sister killer for Zin’s daughters to add strength to the Zin Dynasty but she was very adamant about not killing and so Zin killed her but she was reincarnated by the Ju Wei Wu/Spirit of Life - Rajhu and was now a part of their family once more.
By her side was her Altaria and Haxrous whom was normal colored named Zircon and Proud respectively along with Tyranitar and the other pokemon Mewtwo allowed to stay with her; Flapple, Nickit, Purrlion, Helioptile and Arctibax.
By now, she long finished her Island Trial and earned all the other Z-Crystals just like her sister (sans for the specific ones for Pokemon): Buginium Z, Darkinium Z, Dragonium Z, Electrium Z, Fairium Z, Firium Z, Flyinium Z, Ghostium Z, Grassium Z, Icium Z, Poisonium Z, Psychium Z, Rockium Z, Steelium Z and Waterium Z.
Her elder sister, family’s old advisor and retired Battle Frontier Champion had heard of his goddaughter’s return from her latest patrol and they were keen to see how she’s been faring in these newfound peaceful times.
“Asha, Tsukumaro, Race,” smiled Sarah, getting a hug from them “How are Mom and Dad?”
“You needn’t worry about them; they’re living out their new lives in this new era with you peacefully as before as are Commander Levi and his squadron. Although, I can’t really blame them for being greatly befuddled by the technology you youngsters have been accustomed to using as I once was despite the year passing.”
“Something along the lines of you accidentally burning your hands when you fumbled with the coffee machine when you tried to pour your first cup?”
“I’ll have you know, Princess, I was not familiar with how such odd machinery was able to make coffee out of simple cocoa beans with these strainer things and electricity!” replied the advisor, groaning in exasperation with an embarrassed blush on his face making her giggle.
“Sure, you weren’t, Old Man,” Race chuckled, shaking his head at her godfather. “If those screams from her Pops were anything when he tried to pour his own first cup last year, they’re absolute comedy gold.”
“Same thing happened with Dad, then?” quizzed Sarah, raising an amused eyebrow at Tsukumaro, picturing her birth father bumbling with the coffee machine and his first cup of coffee as well.
“Yes, accidentally dropped his cup before Young Danny and Danielle saved it but burning his hand after it spilled when he tried to catch it. I swear, this ‘Scream Heard ‘Round the World’, as you would call it, would’ve been heard by everybody for miles. Your mother, she’s been better off, for the most part; Lass is still learning the ropes about this era’s technology and such but she’s been more careful and with Sir James and Ms. Nikki’s helping hand, I might add.”
Sarah nodded before Tsukumaro continued, wanting to put the awkward subject of his old friends’ culture shock predicament behind him. “So, I heard from the government that you’ve settled into your new job as the world’s first-ever official Pokémon Ambassador quite nicely?” he asked.
“Yep, went off without a hitch as I’ve hoped. I’ve been in contact with the four champions of Hoenn, Johto, Kalos, and Unova and ever since our first meetings, they’ve been collaborating with many volunteer and activist groups spearheading Anti-Pokémon-Poaching and Anti-Pokémon-Hunting campaigns and encourage programs involving greater Pokémon care and adoptions,” replied Sarah.
“Last I heard from either of them, they've been working with several public officials from their region’s governments on new criminal justice operations to improve the justice systems that are being reworked so that all people and Pokémon can be treated equally and have equal rights, as far as I know. Hopefully, we won’t have any more trouble from any more syndicates like Team Plasma, Team Galactic, or even Teams Aqua and Magma in the near future. There have been some whiners and naysayers who are opposed to such measures but I don’t let them drag us all down much, they’re only the minority so they’re not a huge problem, really.”
“I’m glad to hear that but with what you said, it just goes to show that you can’t please everybody so you’ll have to take whatever they can spell out for you as they come,” nodded Tsukumaro, knowing where his goddaughter was going. “What do you plan on doing after that?”
“Well……. I don’t know, really. Silvally thinks that things have been pretty boring ever since the others and I retired from being Power Rangers and Team Eclipse was finally down and out along with Ash and I becoming the new Alola Champions. Zedd's not appearing for another six months, either.”
“Well your Vikings pals tendency to find trouble will keep you on your toes still.” Race added. “How’s the school been running?”
Sarah grinned. “Other than the hunters but their more of a cake walk than what I expected so far thanks to Athi and Blizzards Dragon Gifts. And things in Equestria are finally at peace with Opaline gone for good."
Ever since Sarah opened the School of Dragons in the Archipelago last year to help the Berkians reach the level of their ancestors and learn about friendship, they’ve gotten better at living with dragons peacefully over the past few months. Fishlegs, Astrid, Hiccup and Zenna were the top students in all of their classes which helped Hiccups confidence bit by bit in order to become chief in the future.
With the help of Discord, the Adult Student Six, Spike, the Guardians Of Harmony and the Mane Five in Equestria, their lessons on friendship were improving little by little as well creating strong bonds built to last now with Misty (an honorary student) learning as much as she could. The Vikings were still prideful but they replaced much of it with humility.
The other tribes in the Archipelago included the Defenders of the Wing - a Monarchy tribe of dragon worshipers on the island of Caldera Cay. ruled by Queen Mala an Asian civilization, (or ninjas) with a lot of Chinese and Japanese elements in their clothing, weaponry, and architecture.
The Outcasts, former enemies turned allies and the Wingmaidens - a tribe of women who care for hatchling Razorwhips in place of the dragon mothers in prevention of male dragons killing them via infanticide. Neither tribe rides dragons of their own but they established friendships with Stoick and the other Berkians Dragons since they wanted to bring back the Dragonstone Kingdom as they all wanted.
During the year, Sarah performed monthly Summit Meeting between each tribe to strengthen their friendship between each other since there were not many of them left in the present era - all agreeing to keep in touch together via Scroll Sending and would aid against the Hunters together if it all comes to a head as Sarah and the Spirits continued their work on gathering more information on them.
“I’m sure you’ll all be up and about again whenever a situation calls for it. Relatively speaking, you do realize that you don’t always have to be on edge and waiting for the next threat (whenever that may be) to arrive with your uncle and Team Eclipse along with Evox gone for good, Princess.”
Sarah sighed deeply and Asha gently placed a hand on her shoulder, “I know given your Dragonstone Duties and Equestria assisting on the other side of the world keeps you busy with concern but you said it yourself; those Hunters are a cakewalk with your powers and the Kingdoms’ ancient gifts. And you've prepared against Opaline. You’ll be just fine. Besides those Ohana Sanctuaries are working great.”
That was true, the Ohana Sanctuaries were expanding greatly over the past year and the populations of Yaks, Hippogriffs, Griffons were increasing slowly with the addition of some more Equestria species such as more Dragons just like Spike and Smolder (based on European Dragons) - which gave the pair even more hope of salvaging their species from Opaline this time around since the Dragon Lands broke from Equestria because of her along with Slingtails - large lizards able to hurl large boulders with their spiky tails.
With some enchantments from Sarah as per their breeding and growing cycles - she applied their Breeding Season to be Spring and Fall with their young growing up perfectly healthy into adults within 3 months like the Death Song breed due to them abandoning their young from birth and needing to grow up fast to survive.
As for the Changelings, their population was growing steadily and quickly themselves given they were bug like creatures with the females able to produce multiple offspring at a time even if they weren’t the Queen.
Other creatures now within the Sanctuaries included, Equestrian Kelpies whom were much more docile compared to their Wizarding World counterparts but their singing could place someone under mind control, Sphinxes - a giant, magical, four-legged creature with the head of a pony, the body of a lion, and the wings of an eagle, Rocs - large predatory birds that feed on molting dragons and etc.
With her kindness towards them, they learned to trust her and listen to her while still remaining wild before some were released back into Equestria for their species conservation.
Sarah sighed again and but then looked at her sister elegantly, “Alright sis. You’re right. I guess I never really know when the next big adventure will come and I can’t exactly ask Reader to do that cause that would just increase my worries.”
“Of course I am.” Asha teased her with a punch in the shoulder making her chuckle.
