//------------------------------// // Chapter 6: Attack! Attack!(Edited) // Story: A Super New World of Infinity // by RainbowSixtySix //------------------------------// Arceus sudden fear increased even more when a bright flash of light appeared, revealing two Pokemon he knew. One of them is his daughter, the diamond princess; Diancie. The other is his wife, the Pokemon of life; Xerneas. The Pokemon of Life was staring daggers at the god. If looks could kill, Arceus would have been dead 50x over. "Sorry Father, I had to tell the truth." Diancie said with a guilty expression on her face. Mew just rolled her eyes and called her a snitch. Arceus cleared his throat and looked into Xerneas, x-like blue eyes. All he could see in them was anger, demanding an explanation. He knew this was going to happen. And he is greatly prepared for it, despite that his wife is looking extremely angry right now. "Arceus!? Why did you bring not only one, but several different species of unknown creatures into the Pokemon World?!" Xerneas demanded. Arceus cleared his throat and began to explain. "You see, dear, Equus was going through a magical crisis. If I didn't intervene and help, thousands upon thousands of innocent lives would have perished. Yes, I could have sent them to a new planet. But there were no other planets I knew of that could of accepted them, so I chose ours. Besides, I do miss neighboring species like we had with the humans all those years ago." Xerneas sighed but still had an stern look upon her face. She looked at the god, absorbing all the information he had given her. Suddenly, her facial expressions soften and took a deep breath. Sometimes, her husband can be a bit of a moron. "Arceus. Listen. I know you mean well. But you can't just dump some unknown species onto the Pokemon world. You don't know how they'll react. All of this is very new to them." "True. But I believe everything will come in peace and harmony. I had already informed the Dux 6 about the new species coming into town. They had accepted them, already. Plus I believe Cobalion has a crush or something on Celestia. However, I could be wrong." Arceus stated. "But what about war, Dear? What if a Pokemon or one of the species decide to attack each other. One of the continents is bound to retaliate. Soon neighboring countries will evade. Then, a world war will begin. What then?!" Xerneas countered. She soon calmed down, realizing she was frightening Diancie a bit. Mew, However; didn't mind and just sat and listen to the whole conversation. "I am happy that you saved them from destruction and had offered them a home. But, I'm just worried that this will turn out to be a horrible outcome for both sides. You can't ignore that conflict is bound to happen, right? I just hope no blood will be shed and soon after years of living together, everyone is happy." Arceus walked up to his wife and nuzzled her in a loving way. The Life Pokemon blushed and gave her husband a small smile. She could never stay too mad at him. "Listen Xerneas. I know I should have talked to you about this. I know I should have thought about it more clearly. But I believe I have done the right thing. Plus, if war ever does break out. I would stop it myself and deal with it, this I promise you. Just trust me on this Xerneas." Arceus replied. Xerneas sighed and looked at her two daughters who were now avoiding eye contact. "Alright. I am just worried is all. Against my better judgment, I will see how this plays out. As long as Mew makes some friends." Mew giggled and nodded at her mother. "Don't worry mom, I will. Besides, can you imagine the hybrids that will be popping out? I give it 4-5 years that it will happen. And I'll be the first to see it and study it!" She gleamed. Diancie just rolled her eyes at her sister's fascination of science. 'Here she goes again.' Diancie deadpanned. Xerneas smiled at her daughter and looked at her husband. "You better hope you know what you're doing Arceus." She said to herself. Morning arrives and the sun decided to let some sunlight shine through a certain sun princess's window. She stirred for a bit, only to wake up when the sunlight had beamed on her white face. She turned to the window and grumbled a bit, shielding her eyes from the attacking sunlight. 'Ugh. The sun rises on it's own? If it were up to me, I'd give it an extra hour. Oh well, can't be helped.' Celestia thought. She got out of her bed and looked around her room, her new room. Her room has a golden color to it with whitish gold curtains hanging on the window. It brought a radiant shine to her room. She smiled at that and looked at the marble, golden floor, noticed her cutie mark design on it. 'What the?!' She thought. She scanned the cutie mark design on the marbled floor and tapped it with her hoof. It felt and looked nice, actually. "Was this Arceus's doing?" She pondered. 'This is quite bizarre'. She brushed the strange occurrence aside, assuming it had something to do with the Pokemon god. She looked over to see her sleeping phoenix, Philomena is sitting on the window stand. She smiled at that and quietly walked out of her new room. Everything had happened so fast, with her home world exploding and this god named Arceus saving her and her subjects from their planet's sudden destruction. She still felt like a complete failure, how she couldn't handle the situation. Sure, she helped evacuate everypony into the portals. But she felt like she could have handled the situation a bit better. Deciding not to dwell on the thought and be happy that her precious ponies are safe from harm. She walked down the hallway to get some breakfast. The sun princess had greeted some of her royal guards who gained a job to work in the Lively Town Castle. It was the largest building in the whole place, next to the Expedition Society which is the second largest in Lively Town. Cobalion was right. This place did resemble Canterlot. It was as if she never left home. Her thoughts were erased when her younger sister, Luna greeted her. "Good morning, Sister." Greeted the princess of the night. Celestia looked up to see her sister, smiling at her. She smiled back and nodded at her younger sibling. "Good morning, Luna" Celestia replied with a smile of her own. Luna nodded at her "Hello, I was just about to see the town, to see what it has to offer. Would you like to join me?" Celestia looked out of the window and noticed some ponies and other Pokemon are interacting with one of another. It amazed her how friendly some can be with others. But she knew well enough that conflict was inevitable. It was only a matter of time. She just hoped that no war will break loose. "Sure, I would like to join you Luna, but first. Let us get some breakfast." Celestia suggested with a smile. The two royal sisters walked down the hall, passing by statues of legendary Pokemon. Some of the statues she recognized such as Arceus and the Swords of Justice. That reminded her of the leader of that group, Cobalion. The legendary Pokemon is very kind and not to mention quite handsome. Celestia felt a small blush coming from her cheeks. She shook her head vigorously, banishing the thought of the Sword of Justice leader. She wasn't looking for a relationship, not since what had happened between her and Sombra. She sighed sadly at the thought of him, he was everything she had wanted. It was a shame he had gone to the dark side of magic and managed to lose himself forever. 'Sombra..' She thought. "Sister!" Luna called out. Celestia's thoughts were shattered by the sound of the princess of the night's voice. She turned to her younger sister and gave her a questioning look. "You alright? I had said that we have arrived in the dining room. You were spaced out on us." She said. Celestia looked ahead and noticed two Bisharp guarding the doors that lead to the dining room. The two Pokemon nodded at them and greeted them with a smile. "Oh..good morning, Princess Celestia. Princess Luna" One of the Bisharp greeted. The two royal sisters raised their eyebrows at the guards. Since when did the Pokemon started calling them princess? Sure, obviously they were princesses before. But that was in the past, the two hold no power here. "Oh...It's alright young Pokemon. You do not have to call us Princess. Celestia is just fine." Celestia smiled. "Oh. But Sir Cobalion insist. You're a princess. Therefore, it's appropriate to call you by your titles." The Bisharp replied. Celestia groaned at this while Luna suppressed a giggled. She shook her head and nodded at the two Bisharps. She would need a talk to the Sword of Justice soon. The two princesses enter the mess hall and had noticed some of the ponies and Pokemon presented. There was Cobalion of course, chatting it up with Virizion and Terrakion. Prince Blueblood and his seven wives were also present. Along with them were a large green snakelike creature with ruby red eyes. Next to the Pokemon, was an otter-like creature with a horn and what appeared to be armor. Last but not least, there is a pony-like creature with a red mane and blue tail. He is currently having a conversation with two other creatures. One had green hair and blueish green eyes with a black dress. And the other looked like some kind of squirrel-rabbit creature with blue eyes. To Celestia, the creature was incredibly cute, nibbling on an apple like a hamster. The Sword of Justice leader, Cobalion noticed the sun and moon princesses and decided to greet them. "Ah. Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. So happy for you both to join us. Everyone. I would like you to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Cobalion introduced. The Pokemon in the room turned to the two royal sisters and begin to introduce themselves. "I am Queen Nagarani of the Pravice Kingdom. I am a Serperior. And this is King Mifune of the Xabla Kingdom, He is a Samurott." The queen said as she held up the tip of her leafy tail. Celestia and Luna immediately understood the gesture and shook the tail with their hooves. "It's quite nice to meet you, Queen Nagarani and King Mifune." Celestia replied. Samurott held up his paw to the princesses who shook it as well. "Welcome to the Water Continent. We had heard about what had happened to your home planet. We are terribly sorry for your loss." He said with honest apologies. Celestia and Luna bowed their heads and smiled sincerely. "Tis alright, King Mifune. For we are forever grateful that our loving subjects are safe from harm." Luna spoke. Mifune nodded to that and looked behind him to see a certain pony legendary not paying any attention to the princesses. This made Mifune grumbled a bit and went to glare at the Pokemon. 'This generation these days. No respect.' He grumbled. "KELDEO! MELOETTA! VICTINI!" Mifune shouted. This had gained the three legendary Pokemon attention. The trio looked at Mifune and then the princesses. They all walked up to them and bowed out of respect. "S-Sorry about that. I am Keldeo. A Sword of Justice. And these are my friends Meloetta, the Pokemon of Melody and Victini. Pokemon of Victory." Keldeo introduced. Celestia and Luna shook hooves with the three Pokemon and gave Keldeo a look of confusion. "You look so much like a pony." Luna commented. "Oh. Yeah, I suppose so. To be honest. I noticed some ponies here and there yesterday. I couldn't believe it. There were even times where other Pokemon confused me for a pony. I guess you could call me a Ponymon or something." Keldeo joked. Victini laughed at this, while Meloetta just shook her head. Celestia looked at the pony Pokemon with curiosity. His face and mane, especially his eyes looked so familiar to her. 'Why does this Pokemon look so familiar. It's like I've seen him before...' She pondered. She was glad that the Pokemon didn't notice that she was staring at him. It was then that Keldeo's friend, Meloetta gained her attention. "It is lovely to meet you princesses. Like King Mifune had said, I am terribly sorry about the destruction of your home planet." Meloetta apologized. "It is alright Meloetta, We are just happy our subjects are safe from harm." Celestia replied with a kind smile. Cobalion cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. Celestia and Luna looked up at Cobalion, while the sun princess was trying to suppress a blush once again. 'Seriously. What is wrong with me?' She wondered. "Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. Come sit with us. Let us talk." He suggested. The two sisters found two empty seats and sat in them. Celestia also noticed that two ponies, Shining Armor and Cadence were missing. While they now live in Noe Town. They decided to spend the night here just to spend some time with Shining's parents and make sure they had settled in. She decided to ask her crush friend of their whereabouts. "Cobalion? Do you know where Shining Armor and Princess Cadence are?" Asked the solar monarch. "They had said they were going to explore the town and see what it has to offer." To say they were surprised would be an understatement. The whole town looked incredibly beautiful in the morning. Some Pokemon were up and about doing their daily work. Ponies were getting started to work on their daily activities. Heck, even some ponies and Pokemon were already friends. Talking and enjoying each other's company. The town looked big and incredible, much bigger than Canterlot. Soon a Miltank came over carrying a tray of milk bottles. She smiled at the couple, offering them milk. "Why hello there? Would you care for some MooMoo Milk?" She offered. "MooMoo Milk? Sure, I can try some. What about you, Honey?" He asked his wife. "Of course." Cadence replied with a smile. The two ponies payed for their drinks and both exchanged their thanks. Shining Armor took a swig of his milk and his eyes widen of pure ecstasy. "This-This is incredible. This milk is very delicious. Cadence you have to try it!" Shining suggested. Cadence drank the milk and had the same reaction as her husband. This is delicious. She wondered how would chocolate MooMoo milk would taste if regular MooMoo was this good. Their thoughts were interrupted by a sound of a loud bang and scream. The two ponies along with some royal guards and Bisharp found a downed mare with a lime green coat and blue mane and tail. She was surrounded by an anthropomorphic yellow creature with a big nose and white fur around its neck. It was also holding what appeared to be a pendulum. A brown bipedal Pokemon with colored lights on its hands. And lastly, another Pokemon that was similar to a squid in comparison. It held a sinister look on its face. "STOP RIGHT THERE!!" haulted one of the royal guards. The three Pokemon looked at the ponies and began to grin evilly. Well except for the squid-like Pokemon. He needed to know who they are and why they're part of Sir Cobalion's Militis Union. "Who are you?" He demanded. "We are the Royal Guard of Lively Town, We are here to serve and protect our citizens." One of the Bisharp guards smiled at this and decided to back some of the royal guards up. "That is right. For attacking an innocent mare and disturbing the peace. You're under arrest." He declared. The squid-like creature could only chuckle at the declaration. "I am under arrest? Funny. And I believe Princess Celestia and Sir Cobalion had made you the Militis of protecting this place? Your princess is nothing but a fool." The squid-like creature now known as a Malamar said. This had angered some of the royal guards. How dare they insult their princess like that!? "What did you say?!" Yelled out one of the guards. The Malamar chuckled and repeated himself. "I had said. Your princess is nothing but a fool." This provoked the royal guard even further. Deciding to shut his mouth once and for all, three of guards charged at the Malamar. Intent on taking him down. Cadence noticed something odd about the Malamar's eyes and the strange pattern on his body. His body began to glow a faint blue as his belly glowed a faint yellow. 'Oh no..' Cadence thought. Realizing that the Malamar is a psychic type. "GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU THREE!! HE'S A PSYCHIC TYPE POKEMON!!!" Cadence warned, But it was too late. The Malamar already had the royal guards in his grasp in a telekinetic hold. "You should've backed down when you had the chance." He told them coldly and threw the guards away from them. Some of them crashing into tables and others into wooden crates. Shining begin to order some of the crystal guards to check up on the downed guards. He glared daggers at the trio of chuckling Pokemon. "Who are you!? Why are you doing this?!" He demanded. The Malamar stopped chuckling and glared at the pony. "You have no orders of telling me what to do, Shining Armor." The white stallion was completely shocked. "How... How do you know my name?!" The Malamar chuckled again, but the Hypno next to him began to answer. "It's our job as psychic type Pokemon to know who and what you are. It would seem... unnatural if we didn't." "I knew it.....So you are psychic type Pokemon! Just what the hell did you do to that poor mare?!" demanded Cadence. The Malamar sighed and decided to answer their questions. "Very well then, I shall explain who we are and what happened to the mare. I am Mal. I am a Malamar. And these are my.. lackeys , Pend the Hypno....and Enigma the Beheeyem. We are a 'Rescue Team' known as...Team Hypnosis." "How do you do." Enigma greeted. "Charmed." Pend said. "R-Rescue Team?" Shining Repeated. Mal chuckled and nodded at the prince. "That's right. We go around either stealing items or stealing lives. Depending our mood. But that's not our goal. Our goal....well....you don't need to know." Cadence growled and looked at the quivering mare and noticed a pink aura surrounding her. "And what about the mare?! What did you do to her." Enigma smiled and looked at the crystal princess. "We.... put her to sleep." Cadence, the guards and Shining Armor gasped at this. "Y-Y-You killed her?!" Mal laughed at this and shook his head, grinning at them with a sinister smile. "Oh no... not yet. You see the pink aura. We are sapping her energy away by eating her dreams. Pend is using a technique called Dream Eater. It's a technique that saps all your life energy while you sleep. It is also one of the 10 illegal moves to use here due to it being extremely lethal." Shining Armor growled and begin to light up his horn. "You bastards....stop this at once." Mal glared and ignore him. "You fool. You make no demands here. Soon this whole world will be ours and everyone in it will fall-" Mal didn't get to finish his sentence as a he felt a hard force hit against his cheek. The force sent him flying towards a wooden food stand. But that's not all, Pend and Enigma felt a searing blast of heat hit them as well, sending them back. Mal recovered from the attack and looked upon his attackers. To say he was shocked is an understatement. There stood two recognizable Pokemon in brown hooded cloaks smirking at him. One is a Lucario with a bone rush technique activate and the other is female Delphox with the flaming branch in her paw. "You know. Attacking the guards is one thing. But attacking innocents and going around like you own the place just crosses the line." Said the Lucario. The Lucario walked up to the down pony and gave her a piece of a Chesto Berry. The pony woke up to the face of the Lucario starring at her. Of course, upon instinct the mare begin to flail around, actually managing to hit the Lucario in the face; much to the Delphox's amusement. "Relax. Relax. I am here to save you. You barely have any energy left. But the Lively Town Doctor's Office should fix that right up." He smiled. He put her down and turned to Mal and his gang. The Delphox walked by his side, smirking and feeling her Pokemon blood beginning to boil. "W-Who are you?" Shining asked. Looking at the Lucario for an answer. The Lucario smiled at the prince and nodded. "I am Sirius the Legend. Bellator number 1#"
