A pale woman with soothing gray and lavender, curled hair and baby blue eyes struggled to her feet within black floored and walled room.. She wore long blue, purple, and white dress. Five red and white balls were scattered around her delicate white heeled shoes. A white bracelet with a peculiar rainbow stone in the center was on her wrist. This was Twilight Velvet. Gritting her teeth she reached into a white handbag and pulled out another red and white ball. Laughter suddenly resounded throughout the dark room.
"Do you honestly believe," a female voice asked in a taunting tone, "that you can defeat me!? Ahhahaha!! You entertain me so much, you pathetic human! I've killed your husband, fainted five out of six of your Pokémon, and yet you still persist! What makes you think that your last Pokémon has more of a chance than your other Pokémon?" A woman from across the room stood next to a floating, black Pokémon with a spiked, red collar and white flowing from its head. The woman was dark and wearing a long, black dress with a silver pattern going across the skirt. She also wore some armor on her chest, hands, and head, that Twilight Velvet could see. She had turquoise, draconian eyes and sharp teeth. This was Nightmare Moon.
Twilight Velvet stared at her last Pokéball. She squeezed the Pokémon capsule, hoping her Pokémon could feel her gratefulness of being with it for so many years. The Pokéball gave a small shake to show acknowledgement.
With a small smile, Twilight Velvet let out a small whisper. "Yes..."
Nightmare Moon growled. "Fool! Can you not see my strength!?"
Twilight Velvet responded, "Can you see mine?" Nightmare's eyes narrowed. Twilight threw the Pokéball out to the ground. "Go, Gengar!"
With a flash of light from the Pokéball, a purple Pokémon that seemed to be made of shadows with red eyes appeared. It stood on two legs and had two arms. A pearl bracelet with a black and purple swirled stone was on its right arm. On the back of its round body were spikes. "Gen-Gengar," it called out. And moved into an offensive position.
"You're kidding... You're kidding, right," Nightmare Moon said as she stared at Gengar. "My Pokémon is a Dark Type, and yours is a Ghost Type... Please tell me your joking..." Nightmare Moon didn't chuckle or laugh, she simply couldn't see why Twilight sent this Pokémon out.
Twilight gave a small smile. She tapped her white bracelet, and, suddenly, Gengar was surrounded in a pink orb. The orb exploded with a blast of white light. Now, a Gengar stood on all fours, and his front limbs thickened and faded to pink. He was now more bristled, and there was a golden oval on its forehead.
Twilight Velvet quickly pointed at Nightmare Moon's Pokémon. "Gengar! Use Dazzling Gleam!"
"Darkrai! Use Dark Pulse!"
Gengar shot out light at Darkrai, as Darkrai sent a wave a darkness. The moves collided, but Twilight Velvet felt something sharp and cold strike her chest.
Nightmare Moon grinned as she whispered into Twilight's ear, "Sweet dreams..."
*Bam* "Your Highness! Urgent report," a female guard in golden armor with a brown plume exclaimed bursting through two towering doors. A red and black bipedal Pokémon with steel arms followed.
A well-toned woman with pink, violet, blue, and turquoise hair in a immaculate white dress and golden grown looked up from petting a purple cat-like creature with two tails and a singular red jewel on its forehead. "Report, Commander," she stated in a commanding tone.
The guard took off her helmet revealing long brown hair and tan skin. "These were the only things we found in wreckage, Princess Celestia." She held out a white bracelet; a black bracelet; purple, red, and ashen white swirled orb; and a blue, pale blue, and white swirled orb.
Princess Celestia but her lip. "Those..." She daintily gulped. "Those were the only things you could find, Hurricane?"
Hurricane sighed. "I'm sorry, teacher. These were the only remains of Twilight Velvet and Nightlight my team could find..."
Celestia stared at Hurricane with a sad expression. "Don't blame yourself, Hurricane. I only wished I had gotten the information on what had happened to Luna before them."
"Are you kidding, Celestia? If Nightlight hadn't been on Night Guard duty, you would be dead. We should be grateful that they were brave enough to risk their lives for the Equestrian region."
"That is undeniable. What news of Lu— Nightmare Moon."
"Mewtwo has informed us that Umbreon sent her to the moon with the help of several legendaries."
"What?"
"Don't worry. Umbreon wouldn't send his master to a fatal place. And Mewtwo wouldn't perform a fatal sentence."
Princess Celestia suddenly gasped and touched her mouth with one of hands. "Hurricane. What of Twilight's and Nightlight's children?"
Hurricane's eyes widened. She immediately bolted to the doors. "Bisharp! Come!" Her Pokémon followed in utmost haste.
Princess Celestia felt something nudge her chin. Her Pokémon was staring at her with big purple eyes that matched Celestia's own. "Do me a favor, Espeon, and find Umbreon, would you?" With a Quick Attack off of Celestia's lap, Espeon ran out of the throne room.
Minutes later, Espeon returned with a black Pokémon with yellow rings patterned on its body and red draconian eyes. "Remember Twily and Shiny, guys?" Both Pokémon's ears perked with attention. Celestia smiled. "I'm glad. We will be caring for them, and that means they will need Pokémon for the future. Espeon, I'm thinking of a Honedge egg for Shiny." Espeon gave a small bow and licked Celestia's finger. "Umbreon, I unfortunately don't know what would be best for Twily due to her age. Could you do your best to pick? She and you really seemed to enjoy each other last time you met." Umbreon nuzzled Celestia's dress in understanding.
Celestia went over to a desk and scribbled something on some paper. "Before you get the eggs, visit Nurse Joy and give her this slip." She tied hooked the paper on Espeon's golden necklace. "She'll let you two borrow a Chansey to hold the eggs safely. Alright?" They nodded before Quick Attacking away again.
A few years later...
A pale girl with straight navy blue, pink and purple hair chased a pale boy with rugged dark blue and light blue hair through overly tall halls. The girl wore a decently length, lavender gown and no shoes. The boy wore a white shirt and jeans under cardboard armor. A steel blade with a blue ribbon followed the boy closely in a playful manner, and a green bipedal creature with stubby arms and three strips of gray on its head was chasing with the girl.
"C'mon, Spike," the girl twittered. "Shining and Honedge are getting ahead!"
"Ba-Bagon," Spike chanted.
Shining laughed. "You'll never catch me, evil queen, and neither can your ferocious dragon—" "Bagon!" "— for I am the brave knight, Shining Armor!"
The girl giggled. "You make me laugh! No one can out run the evil queen, Twily! Not even Celestia her— Oof!"
Twilight and Shining Armor had bumped into Princess Celestia. Espeon stood by her. "Someone told me that two certain somebodies were running in the halls again," she said in a sugar-sweet voice.
Shining Armor glowered at Espeon. "Why do ruin all of our fun..!" Espeon was taken aback. She turned up her nose haughtily in a 'not-my-fault-you-don't-follow-the-rules' manner.
Celestia began chuckling. "Come here, you two." She motioned for the two children to follow. Espeon refused to look at Shining Armor. "First of all, you can run in the halls as long as important people don't show up. Second of all, Espeon had to come get me because she couldn't find you after losing you while you were running, and because she felt like telling on you. And third of all, it's lunch time."
"Yay," Shining Armor cried out. "What's for lunch, Mommy? What did Mr. Oven and Heatran make today?"
"Today they made grilled-cheese sandwiches. Also, we are going to be having two very special guests, so, Shining, you need to take off your armor."
Shining Armor began to pout. "But how will survive Spike's super heat-breath?"
"Bagon!"
"By doing this." Celestia stopped and crouched down by Spike. She stared him straight in the eyes and said in a very serious tone, "Now, Spike. We're having lunch. No fire-breathing, even though you don't have the ability to do so."
The shiny Bagon blinked slowly as he soaked the words in. "Ba-Ba!" He raised his stubby arms in a salute.
Celestia stood back up. "There. Problem solved. Now, armor off."
Princess Celestia opened the doors to the dining hall to find a tan brunette girl yelling at a humanoid Pokémon. "Mewtwo! The lives of both people and Pokémon are at risk! Tell us how to stop— Oh, Princess... I'm sorry; I didn't see you come in." Hurricane felt something squeeze her. She looked down to see a wide-grinning boy.
"I finally got you first," Shining Armor exclaimed proudly.
"Private. How could you? You approach your Commander without acknowledging her, and you then hug her? For shame..." Hurricane spoke in a dissapointed voice. His grin disappeared, and he began to stare at the floor. Suddenly, she scooped up Shining Armor. "Only I get to sneak up on you!" Her playfulness returned as Hurricane threw Shining up and down gently.
Mewtwo watched the scene with amusement, but he jumped when something touched him.
"Oh sorry, Mister," Twilight said. "Um... Who are you, and why was Hurri yelling at you?"
Mewtwo's wise, purple eyes met Twilight's innocent, purple ones. Such curiosity... he thought. He looked over to Celestia and sent a private message. She will be a very good trainer, Celestia. I hope you remember these words.
"I am Mewtwo. And the thing that, er, 'Hurri' was yelling at me about was something you're still too young for. So... What made you approach a strange creature like me?"
"Hi, Mister Mewtwo. I approached you because you looked like a neat Pokémon. Or, I think you're a Pokémon... Are you?"
"Indeed. I am."
"Oh, wait," Twilight said while bringing her hand to her forehead. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. But Shining and Mommy call me Twily."
Mewtwo held out his three-fingered hand. "It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Twilight." Twilight's little hand gripped Mewtwo's.
"Bagon!"
"Hmm?"
"Oh! Mister Mewtwo, this is Spike. He's my bestest friend."
"Your 'bestest' friend, huh? I bet Spike is really happy with you, too."
Twilight frowned. "I think he's happy. I can't speak Pokémon."
A toned man with a mustache and wearing chef clothes came into the dining hall. "Your Highness, six grilled-cheese sanwiches, and two dozen supreme Poképuffs. Anything else?"
"Oven Heat, could you send in refreshments. Juice for the children. Wine for me and Commander Hurricane. And... Mewtwo, what would you like to drink?"
"Water. But I've always wanted to try wine..."
"... A shot of wine and waters for everyone. Thank you, Oven."
" Of course, your Majesty," Heat Oven replied while bowing.
Twilight and Shining Armor then chanted, "Thank you!!"
Mewtwo picked up a surpreme Poképuff and nibbled a bit. "So, Celestia... I am aware of the reason you summoned me," he spoke hesitantly. In a swift gesture, he was rudely pointing at Hurricane. "But why her?"
Twilight looked up from her grilled-cheese. "What's wrong with Hurri? She super duper nice and learns Shining—" "Teaches," Celestia intertupted. "— teaches Shining how to fight with Honedge."
Mewtwo kept the best poker face he could. How was he suppose to explain this to a child of all humans? "Well..."
Celestia swooped in with a white lie. "Mewtwo is just worried that Hurri might get hurt." Mewtwo blinked.
"Uh, yes... Yes. I don't want any humans getting hurt. It's far more difficult to heal them then it is to heal Pokémon." Even though Pokémon shouldn't have to do humans' biddings anyway.
"Oh," whispered Twilight. "Thanks, Mister Mewtwo. That's very con-sid-er-ate of you. Did I say it right, Mommy?" Celestia nodded with small, kind smile. Off in her chair, Hurricane rolled her eyes.
"Celestia, are we going to talk about the reason you summoned us, or what?"
Celestia heaved at the impatience of Hurricane. "After Oven Heat arrives with refreshments, then I will send the children out."
Shining looked up from his now crumb filled plate. "Why can't we stay, Mommy?"
"Because your friends are coming soon."
Twilight's tiny hand shot up in the air. "Can we leave now," she asked with wide, eager eyes.
"Well... I guess, but-" A streak of lavender flew out of the dining hall. "- don't you want your juice..." Celestia sighed. "You're dismissed, too, soldier." Shining Armor ran off as well with a mischeivious grin plastered on his face.
"Alright," Celestia spoke grimly. "We don't have much time. She's returning in a few years... What's happening, Mewtwo?"
