I love your story so far and i think a Riolu and Spike paring would be very cute.

Who is this Sunbright? Aren't Shining Armor is captain of Royal Guard? I think he is captain ever since season 1...

I wanted to make a new character for the story. So I thought about using the captain that found Riolu's egg in the beginning of chapter 1. I'm not sure if Shinning is a captain or not in season 1 but hey if he is I don't see why the Royal Guards would just have one captain. Heck, maybe Shinning can the one that takes over his job. XD

Well, I more like to think that Royal Gurad is a small royal army that sattle in Canterlot. So It's not huge group until it need more than one captain to take care. And I think somepony will take over his captain of Royal Guard in the end of season 2. (He become prince after marry Cadence...). So if Shining Armor not being Captain yet...I don't know when he should be...

Clearly, I didn't think about that while writing this chapter but you do make a good point. Maybe I'll have Sunbright retire and have Shining replace him as captain. Thanks for the comment. :D

I liked this chapter and your writing style. It flows well and the story os fun to read. I also agree with Ruff Wind, Spike and Riolu would be a cute pairing.

Interesting story. It's quite likeable with the plot you have here and your writing style is easy to keep the story flowing. Although it could use more detail among some of the paragraphs. But nonetheless I like it. Keep up the good work.
