Princess Celestia sat next to the bed Lenkar was resting in. She had arrived after Luna had infiltrated the hive without her knowing, and so her sister was reprimanded, but not nearly as harshly as her soldiers that had willingly followed along. There were times where her sister's knowledge of modern day tactics was lacking, but barging into a changeling hive and not alerting Celestia was a bit of a blunder.
She had forgiven Luna though, as it had went off without a hitch, with one exception. Said exception was curled up under a blanket, it's disembodied head dropping onto the bed, then righting itself after a few sleepy attempts. It's limbs were folded against the Porygon-Z's body, causing it to look much smaller than before.
Celestia sighed at the thought of having to give the poor creature a stern talking to, but it was for the best. She had to admit, it was quite adorable how the red and blue bird was snuggling itself. It wouldn't last long, though.
Princess Luna slammed the door open, then closed it quietly with her magic.
"The Queen hath been felled, Sister."
Celestia took the news with a poker face, digesting the information while rewording the conversation she was planning to have with the Pokemon.
"I will try to talk some sense into him. That is all I can do."
Luna strode next to her sister, and sat down, wrapping a wing over her back in a hug. The two nuzzled, then returned their view back the sleeping Porygon-Z.
"Nay, Sister, it is all We can do."
Celestia basked in the reassurance she was given.
"I hope so."

...ooooooh...
My whole body felt numb, and I was not wanting to get used to such a feeling.
...UUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAH...
Although my mental pain sounds could use some work.
I opened my eyes, my vision blurring. Rubbing my aching forehead, I took note that I was in Twilight's library again. While that was a relief, I nearly jumped through the ceiling when I saw the two alicorns towering over me.
"Gah! Don't DO that!"
I clutched where my heart would be out of reflex.
"Nearly gave me a heart attack!"
Celestia giggled, trying to bring some humor into the situation, but it died instantly when her smile returned to the sober frown.
"You, my sister, and I need to discuss what happened in the hive."
She cleared her throat while the two sisters shared a look. Luna spoke next, not wanting to drag the conversation.
"We have been reviewing the incident with mine Sister, and have come to the conclusion that thou requires atonement for thy acts."
I recoiled at that statement, but I was in higher hopes after my chat with MISSINGNO., so I took it with gumption.
"Alright, so what are you going to do?"
I twiddled my flippers nervously, and Celestia conjured a scroll in her golden aura, levitating it over to me.
"This form is an incident report. Fill it out truthfully, and I will review what you have written."
I grasped the paper in my arms, as Celestia floated a quill and inkwell next to my side. I picked up the quill and dipped it, trying not to spill any on the bed. It wouldn't be as clean as a pen, but oh well.
"Okay then."
I hovered to my side, avoiding the inkwell, to the end table on my left. I also picked up the inkwell and set it on the end table just to be safe, while placing the paper down. Dipping the quill again, because a bit had leaked, I began t--wait a minute.
I followed an ink trail all the way back to where I had first dipped the quill, as there was now a black splotchy mess on the bed and floor.
"Oh. Welp, I'm an idiot."
I cocked my head to the side, staring at the sisters questioningly.
"So, why didn't you two stop me?"
They were too busy giggling like schoolgirls to answer, so I just rolled my eyes and returned to the form.
I swear... confound these ponies, they drive me to ink...
[|||]
I had finally reached the bottom of the form, so I reread my answers just to make sure.
DESCRIPTION: Okay, so what happened was, I had a Virus and the Virus went into my beak. Then the Virus was sneezed through the Signal Beam move and then kaboom.
What? That was literally what happened. Not satisfactory enough?
Oh fine, I'll rewrite it. Let's see now...
Revise how she shattered, and I think I'm done.
Dotting the last period, and signing the bottom of the page, I handed it over to Celestia, who began to thoroughly comb through the report. As she read it, her face flashed with multiple expressions. First confusion, then anger, then finally amusement. Once that was done she set the page on fire, sending it to her office.
"Well, I believe that settles that. Now, I would like to know you, Mister...?"
I continued to stare off into space, my mind completely blank. I was usually like this when I either had nothing to think about, or had finished all my work. Sometimes both. I shook my head and wobbled it dizzily for a second.
"Woah, sorry. Got lost in... something."
Luna scrunched her face up.
"Tis' a strange name thee has."
I slapped a flipper over my beak, and waved my arms about.
"No, my name is Lenkar Glitch. I could have sworn that you would have learned it from Twilight by now."
I flipped my tail in irritation.
Maybe I should have Rarity add a name tag on my lab coat.
Luna coughed, and pointed her hoof at me.
"Quite. We had entered here just earlier and had not the time to converse with the Elements."
Celestia nodded, while I rose from the bed.
"Seems legit. Anything else?"
Celestia stood up, and began to walk around me, looking at me from every angle.
Why must everyone I meet do this?
"I have not seen a Pokemon in such a long time! I wonder how Zygarde is doing..."
She trailed off, lost in a memory, while I mentally slapped myself for not realizing the connection. It was stupidly obvious that Zygarde would have met Celestia if she had a statue of him!
While I wanted to let her know I knew Zygarde as well, a small voice within me urged me to keep quiet. Heeding it's words, I kept my beak shut. Celestia summoned a tea set, while Luna headed for the door. I sat down in front of it, and watched her exit.
"I wonder where she's going?"
Celestia took a test sip of her tea.
"Probably to chat with Twilight and her friends."
I picked up a cup, and began to think of ways to drink it. I tilted my head back, and poured the tea directly onto my beak. Much to my surprise, it went right in with no fuss at all. I finished the cup instantly, setting it back on the plate. Celestia had an eyebrow raised due to my peculiar drinking adjustment. I chuckled and tapped the ends of my arms together.
"Uh, sorry. Only way I can drink."
Celestia gave me a clever smirk, and winked. While I was left in the dark as to the meaning of the small gesture, Celestia poured me some more tea.
I feel like I need to ramble about something, else I go insane, so here: I can't drink out of the cup because solid, inedible matter not recognized as food will not pass through my beak. The cup was in the way, so I had to pour it as said earlier. It's a hassle, but at least I can in fact drink.
...oh.
Well, that wasn't a very long babble at all. I was expecting it to go on longer. Oh well.
Me and Celestia made up for my surprisingly short exposition by talking for what seemed like hours.

Luna had an issue.
She was trying to decide exactly what punishment would be fitting for Lenkar. She certainly could not use the traditional methods, as they were far too barbaric for the modern day etiquette. She lamented about being unable to induce physical trauma while grumbling about Celestia making her country soft.
She and Twilight were also discussing on the matter of the changelings. With their Queen dead, and the only 'viable' heir horribly mutated, they had little options to go with besides throw them in a dungeon and get it over with.
Indeed, after the Porygon-Z had killed the Queen, Myriad had tried to use a royal conversion pod to elevate herself manually in revenge. Her plan failed, leaving her as half drone and half Queen. Her legs were uneven in height, her horn was twisted in ways that were awful even for changeling standards, her wings were elongated shreds of tissue, and she had been left blind in one eye because her royal eyes had only been converted partially. She was severely disfigured and on life support, while the doctors had done all they could to heal her.
Luna regretted having to put such a withered creature in a jail cell, so she only ordered for the remaining changelings to be imprisoned.
Although, she did have them kick the bartender a few times for stealing her Moonshine.
No one steals her Moonshine!
Now it was all up to Celestia, so she had left to check on the girls, in which she let her nose guide her to a batch of cookies on the table. Luna playfully ensnared one in her blue aura, the rainbow sprinkled dessert floating swiftly yet carefully to her, only to be snatched out of the air by Pinkie Pie. Luna scowled at the pink mare for eating her treat.
"Mmmm! Flying cookies taste great! Maybe I should make more like that!"
The ponies just regarded Pinkie in the usual fashion, and continued their activities. Rarity was inspecting the lab coat she had made for Lenkar to make sure it was absolutely perfect. With no seam or stitch out of place, it was a true masterpiece. She had been saddened at the fact she couldn't use more gems, but created genius anyway despite the limitations.
The lab coat was a sterile white, even whiter than Rarity or Princess Celestia, with an alternating red, blue, yellow, and black trim around the edges to show off the Porygon-Z's natural colors. The inside was a creamy tan color, and was luxuriously soft to the touch. The back had a Pokeball pattern, the capture device now immortalized in gems, the red on one half with the white of the coat on the other. The center had black gems with a white space left for the circular button, and the black gems also outlined the whole Pokeball so it stood out.
Rarity barely had a clue as to what it was from what she read in the notes, besides that it was called a Pokeball. She swiped off a bit of dust that had gotten on it from carrying it to the library, and neatly folded it onto the table in the center of the room.
The door upstairs opened, and a somewhat crazed-looking Lenkar zoomed down from above, twitching in a floppy manner.
"BOOKS."
Everypony just stared as Lenkar opened the door to the library, and exited while laughing like a madman.
"AHAHAHAHA! AHHHHH HAAAH HAAAH HAAAAAAAAH! BOOKS!"
Lenkar hovered right in front of a ponies face, then another, all while yelling.
"BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS BOOKS! BOOKS!"
He stopped in front of a mint-green unicorn, and flipped himself upside-down.
"BOOKS?"
The unicorn blinked, then smiled, waving at the crazy Pokemon.
"Uh, hi there!"
Lenkar froze, then spasmed wildly.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!!!"
He activated Agility, his body surging to life. With a boom, he took to the skies, blowing up a few clouds along the way.
A mare next to the unicorn whacked the mint-green pony across the back of her head for her troubles.
As he flew off at supersonic speeds, Rainbow Dash chased after him, finally getting that race she had been waiting for. Everypony just stayed where they were, while Celestia had one eye twitching, her jaw hanging open. Luna walked up to her, and closed the Solar Princess' mouth with a hoof.
"Sister, We think thee has broken Lenkar."
Celestia didn't respond, so Luna tapped her sister's forehead.
"Tia?"
The white alicorn remained motionless. Luna clutched her forehead, feeling another headache coming on.
"Us dammit."
