//------------------------------// // Creatures Of The Night // Story: Ponymon: A Light In The Dark // by The Equestrian Quilava //------------------------------// "This is just like the reality where my friends and I never stopped Nightmare Moon," Twilight says as we wander the dark empty streets of Ponyvile. "Is there anything to worry about?" I ask, "What was different in that reality?" "There were Timber Wolves everywhere and Nightmare Moon ruled Equestria," Twilight explains, "Are there any nocturnal Pokemon we should watch out for?" "Nothing that's a threat, but there's one that's just plain annoying," I tell her, "And that one Pokemon is the reason I hate caves." "So, you're afraid of bats," Twilight says "These aren't normal bats, Twilight," I tell her, "I'm not afraid of them." I then hear the sound of a bat's screech. I stop and ignite my back so I could see the bat, but instead I saw hundreds of blue bats that had no feet, no eyes, and their mouth covered up most of their body lining the roofs of every building. They all suddenly fly off the buildings and start swarming around us. They all released one unified high pitched screech causing every single window in pony vile shatter and caused me to go temporarily deaf, and caused me to become confused. My head was filled with pain and my vision was blurred. I use lava plume to get rid of the bats before my hearing was restored and I was no longer confused. "What were those things?" Twilight asks me, "How did that noise not wake anypony up?" "Those were Zubats, and I that's why I hate caves," I say then noticing a large bat hanging from the roof of town hall watching us. This bat was much bigger than the Zubats, it was about the size of Celestia if not bigger. It then swooped down from the building and landed in front of us. The bat was a Noivern, a powerful dragon type Pokemon. Noivern's ears then started to vibrate and started to produce a low humming noise. "What's it doing?" Twilight asks "Cover your ears!" I yell covering my ears. Noivern's ears then released a massive blast of sound so great it obliterated all the buildings around us. I could feel everything in my body vibrating from the sound wave as the ground shook. I uncover my ears once the sound stopped and waited for Twilight to tell me what to do, but she didn't say anything, "Twilight!" I yell to get her attention, but she doesn't hear me. She had become deaf from the sound. Noivern's ears started to hum again as he prepared for another attack, but then it stopped and Noivern became scared of something and flew away. I turn around and see a pack of Timberwolves behind me and Twilight, "Twilight, behind you!" I shout to her. "What!" She yells unable to hear me. I knew that Timberwolves don't like the sun. Concentrating my energy I use sunny day, and the sun rises making the timberwolves flee, but the sun goes behind the moon causing a solar eclipse and it became dark again. "I thought only Celestia could raise the sun," A black alicorn looking like Luna says walking out of the shadows,"I've underestimated you." "Who are you?" I ask, "You look like Princess Luna." "I am Nightmare Moon," She says, "You are the only thing standing in my way of an eternal night." "The Night will always come to an end," I tell her, "Twilight and I will stop you." "How there three of us and two of you," Nightmare Moon says as Umbreon comes out of the shadows and the ghost reappears, "Umbreon, Darkrai take care of them." "Twilight, evolve me!" I shout, but Darkrai had already used dark void to put her asleep. "You have no allies," Nightmare moon says, "Just give up now." "I won't give up!" I yell, "Come at me!" "Darkrai, dark void," Nightmare Moon orders. Darkrai unleashes his attack, but before it hit a protective field surrounded me causing the attack to do nothing. "Darkrai!" I hear a voice cry out as a blue and yellow Pokemon appeared in front of me, "I've told you before not to do this." "Who are you?" I ask "I am Cresselia," The Pokemon says, "I'm the lunar Pokemon and I'm here to help you." "Then let us end the night," I tell Cresselia
