As we trekked ahead, determined to find new grounds or havens for food. The three of us had seen very few deer and even less berries and fruit to sustain even myself. Hoopa had found berries and proceeded to share with the rest of us. The forbidden forest seemed unforgiving and unlivable. I still can't figure out how I got here though.

No, it's not important right now, I gotta focus on what’s important. I need food, shelter and water. Gotta focus on finding shelter, and I might find food on the way. We found ourselves in a clearing yet again, so we gathered wood and dropped them around a pile before I released Reshiram who sparked a little bit from his flamethrower to get it started and returned him, her? It? I don't even know! Not important.

Sure I could've had Hoopa ring us to the town faster, but I wanted to get to know my Pokemon better before we reached there. Besides I'm dead tired.

"So is it true?" I asked Metagross sitting around a fire, "You got four brains in each leg or something."

"Well I'm the product of four beldums stitched rather nicely togther with their mental prowess combined so, quite right." Metagross nodded.

"Wow, and your smarter than any computer right? Are you like a mega computer?"

'Please,' Metagross rolled its eyes, 'A computer requires output, input, processing devices, and storage to function properly, but only with a limited data capacity, I require neither for my mental capacity is beyond any advanced program or hard ware.' Metagross continued, 'Who needs Central Processing Units when you have my overwhelming knowledges.'

After his long winded speech, me and Hoopa just stared at him eyebrows raised and mixed expressions. After a moment of silence, Hoopa spoke up.

"Hoopa think you talk to much." Hoopa stated honestly 

Metagross suddenly looked offended, 'Well that's quite the bravado for someone who speaks in third person.'

It was Hoopas turn to look offended, "Hoopa don't know who third person is or who 'bravado'-kan is, but you make sound like they better than Hoopa!"

"Guys!" I quickly stepped in, "No fighting, please! We're friends, a-are we not?"

"Friends is an overexaggeration, I'd say more like: 'reluctant acquaintances sharing the same owner'.' Metagross replied.

Before I could argue my stomach rumbled like an angry Ursaring, I grabbed my sides, feeling hungry, "Ah man, I wish we had more food, I'm so hungry, so, so, hungry."

Hoopa gasped happily, "Then why didn't Omega-kan just say so?"

Hoopa pulled one of the ring on its horns and slapped in the airs before the portal materialized to somewhere unknown. Hoopa stuck his hand and grabbed something.





It was late night in Sugarcube corner, Pinkie was getting ready to close the shop and call it a night. She gave a doughnut to the last pony, who gave her the right amount for the doughnut. She smiled and waved her goodbye.

"Enjoy, come again!" Pinkie smiled, flashing her trademark smile, it quickly vanished when she heard a whoosh sound.

She looked to one of the display case and saw a ring suddenly materialize out of nowhere and grab hold of three doughnuts before disappearing. Leaving a confused and scared Pinkie.

"Hey wait!" She yelled at the display case, "That's gonna come out of my paycheck!" Pinkie pouted.





Hoopa pulled out the doughnuts out of the hole before it shrunk back on his horn. 

"Here you go." He offered.

"What! You couldn't do that before! I could've used a fucking doughnut an hour ago!" I asked incredulously. 

Hoopa shrugged and proceed to take a single bite out of one of the doughnuts, "Omega-kan never asked Hoopa, Hoopa not mind reader like crabby face."

'I'll choose to ignore that.' Metagross muttered giving Hoopa a side glare.

"Oh my god!" I said plucking a doughnut out of Hoopa's grasp before destroying it in my mouth, I was so hungry. "Chocolate!"

After our doughnuts were consumed, I turned to Hoopa, "Thank you Hoopa, I needed that."

Hoopa snickered and covered his mouth with his hand, "Were you surprised?"

"Very," I nodded, "most definitely, you surprised the hell out of me Hoopa. You are without a doubt the best surpriser."

Hoopa snickered again and rubbed the back of his neck in all bashfulness.

I yawned getting sleepy, I laid down on my back and prepared for slumber

"Hey, you guys wanna stay in your pokeball?"

"No need," Metagross replied, "I'll stand guard in case more 'colorful character' wish to cause you harm ol' boy.'

"Hmm, okay. What about you Hoopa?" I asked.

Hoopa responded with a yawn and stretched his dismember arms.

"Hoopa sleep in ball tonight." Hoopa said, i pulled out his pokeball and returned him.

"Are you sure you'll be good on your own Metagross?"

'Quite good ol' boy,' he reassured me, 'now rest, for tomorrow we return back to civilization.'

"Okay, goodnight."

After I closed my eyes, both Hoopa's ring prison bottle and Darkrai's pokeball suddenly had a mysterious shadowy aura around them both before disappearing. And the eyes to the prison bottle flashed red for a second.





"AAHHHH!" Princess Luna snapped up from her bed, her eyes widened and pupils shrunk as she began sweating profusely. She stood there sitting up and panting rather loudly. After a moment she heard footsteps approach her room.

"Sister?" Celestia called, looking apprehensively at her little sister, "Are you alright?"

Luna quickly collected her breath slowly and calmed down upon her sisters arrival, "I felt very dark energy, one I haven't felt before."

"Is it Tirek?" Celestia asked, "I felt his presence, he's loose."

"Tirek?" Luna asked, looking nervous as she was a moment ago, "But he was sealed many years ago."

Celestial nodded, "I know, but he's here and he has escaped Tartarus. I sensed him and woke up shortly, I think it was a vision. I shall send a message to Cadence and Twilight to arrive first thing tomorrow."

"I know, but," Luna trailed off staring into space, collecting her thoughts, "But what I felt, i-it wasn't Tirek. It was dark, cold, and vengeful. I haven't felt this feeling since....Nightmare Moon. The feeling was so familiar."

Celestia gasped and put a hand over her mouth, "Are you saying she has returned Luna?"

"Impossible, the elements of harmony destroyed that part of me." 

"Are you sure it was her?"Celestia asked cautiously.

Luna sighed and hung her head, "No, but I recognize the feeling all too well."

"Well, if Tirek is free I'm sure it has something to do with whatever your feeling Luna." Celestia proposed

"Yes, it's a possibility sister." Luna said.

"Then we haven't much time. The stronger he becomes, the more we are all in danger."
