The Pokemon Festival. The Second One.

The second Pokemon Festival is here.

Everything has already been set up across Equestria. From Canterlot to the Crystal Empire. Even major areas that had been affected by the Darkest Day had been patched up thanks to the hard work of Pokemon, allowing those locations to take part in the festival.

But this year, it's different. Instead of humans, ponies and Pokemon, this time, the cast of species has increased. Now dragons, yaks and even griffons have been added into the mix. Plus the neat addition of the Pikachu's from Pikachu Highlands.

Going beyond the last one's single week, this festival aims to go on for 2 weeks with more to explore and do and hopefully, there are absolutely no universe hopping shenanigans like last time.


Canterlot.

Where the real meat of the festival is. With the Pokemon Festival officially starting, it was already lively with a plethora of Pokemon being here. The layout of Canterlot's part of the festival was similar to the first one but now there were new attractions added into the mix.

The relief zone where many of the Pokemon come here to relax and feel some relief was here too along with the addition of more than just lush green jungles.

Needless to say, it was looking more promising than the first one.

Celestia opened up the windows to gaze out at the festival as she already saw many ponies, humans and Pokemon having as much fun as they can. Her Gardevoir and Arcanine joined her to see the festival, mainly Arcanine, who has never heard of the Pokemon Festival before, so this will be his first time experiencing.

"I have an amazing feeling about this year's festival you two," Celestia said to her partners.

"Gardevoir."

"Arcanine."

"Let's not waste any time. Arcanine. This will be your first Pokemon Festival. Are you excited?"

"Canine!" The Legendary Pokemon licked Celestia's face in response. "Arcanine!"

High hopes filled Celestia's spirit. She was looking to enjoy herself in this festival to the very end with her friends and nothing else. Plus, during the festival, her parents will show up. Although it's unclear which day they will arrive.


And of course, the two who were looking forward to this the most were Ash and Fluttershy. They already had a ton of enjoyment in the last one, so they were bound to get some more and beyond.

The train was heading over to Canterlot with Ash and his friends apart of the ride since they didn't want to miss out of the second festival.

Joining them on the ride was the addition of Chloe, who was very hesitant to come along since she felt like it would get in the way of her school work. But when she found out that some of her friends from school would be joining the festival along with her teachers, she decided to give it a try.

"Pika..." Pikachu laid on Ash's lap.

"2 weeks this time, huh?" Ash spoke. "We can get a lot done in 2 weeks, ya know!"

"That is if we're not too caught up in one particular city." Rarity replied.

"I'm psyched to see Ember and the other dragons since they're joining in as well." Spike grinned.

"Did they set up the festival at the Dragon Lands...? How would all of that look...?" Pinkie Pie wondered what an area like the Dragon Lands would look like in the style of the Pokemon Festival."

"Yeah well, you guys think about all the stuff you're gonna see." Rainbow Dash smirked. "I'm in it for something different."

"Like?" Twilight asked Rainbow Dash.

"My fifth Gym Battle. I found out that the Gym's been added into the Pokemon Festival for trainers who wanna enjoy the festival and earn their gym badge too. So I'm shooting for that one."

"That's a pretty nifty shortcut." Applejack nodded.

"Shortcut? Nah." Rainbow Dash shook her head. "It's been a long time coming anyway."

"Well I don't know about you all, but I'm in it for the Pokemon," said Goh. "What about you, Chloe?"

"Hm?" Chloe looked up at them with her yamper on her lap. "Me? I guess I can enjoy myself a little bit."

"Little bit?" Pinkie appeared behind Chloe. "Come on! This'll be a blast! Who wouldn't want to go to a festival with Pokemon?!"

"I mean, it does sound promising..." Chloe rubbed Yamper's belly.

"Yam! Yamper!"

"Chikorita. This will be your first festival. Are you excited?" Fluttershy said to her Chikorita.

"Chiko!"

"Can we even clear all of Equestria in 2 weeks?" Applejack wondered as she was being held by Sceptile. "Festival's pretty big after all."

"Watch us." Rainbow Dash flew up. "We'll enjoy the whole thing in no time!"

"Come to think of it. Rainbow Dash. Your Castform and Mienfoo. This'll be their first Pokemon Festival along with yours as well Starlight."

"Yeah. But um...I'm worried that Hatterene might go a bit crazy." Starlight winced. "She's not a huge fan of happy vibes, remember?"

"Well, she's around us a lot. So I'm sure she's managed to control her composure." Fluttershy responded.

"Hehe...yeah...hopefully." Starlight chuckled nervously as she looked outside the window, noticing how they were close to Canterlot. Very soon, they would involve themselves in the second festival.

But they had no idea how many familiar faces would pop up in this year's festival.


Canterlot.

They had finally arrived at the real flair of the Pokemon Festival. Compared to everywhere else, Canterlot seems to have the most going for it with the festival.

That's not to say that the others are lacking. They have their own flash and uniqueness that can give anyone a great time. But Canterlot just has a lot more going for it.

The first thing that caught their eye was the gigantic balloons that were modelled after the Swords of Justice as they were floating high above the skies of Canterlot.

"Looks like the swords are getting more recognition, huh?" Twilight looked up.

"Mhm." Ash nodded.

"We're finally here!" The CMC's dashed out of the train, rushing off to do whatever they can in the festival as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon just walked instead, following them.

Celestia and Luna flew over to greet Ash and the others as they seemed to have their regalia off. Mostly since they want to enjoy this festival without feeling important.

"Everypony. You made it." Celestia said.

"Princess Cel- Where's your regalia?" Twilight asked.

"Hm? Oh, we've decided not to wear them at all. We're going to experience this festival as fellow ponies without having any source of importance following us." Celestia explained.

"Correct," Luna responded. "Besides...they get a bit hard on the neck sometimes..."

"Besides. We're feeling a bit adventurous today. And we can't wait for our parents to show up and join us. It will be an amazing catching up session of 2 weeks!" Celestia pranced on the spot.

"Then let's get started. I wanna see if there are any battles to be found." Ash did a chipper stride as Pikachu hopped off his shoulder.

"OH! I wonder if Victini is back!" Fluttershy flew off to the relief zone.

"Let's get that 5th Gym Badge! Where is it?!" Rainbow Dash flew up, navigating her head around Canterlot.

"Rainbow Dash! Wait up!" Pinkie Pie bounced after her.

"Already, they've split up. Starlight. Mind sticking with me?" Twilight asked.

"Hm? Oh uh, sure." Starlight nodded. "You know this festival better than me anyway."

"And I'll be enjoying all the cake this festival has to offer!" Celestia squeed as she pranced off.

"Perhaps if I play things quietly this time during my battles..." Luna looked around, walking off to do whatever she plans to do.

"Well. It seems that it's just us now, Spike. Come along then. I have a rematch with that Lopunny." Rarity and Spike were paired up.

"Rematch? You mean dancing? Aw, I don't wanna dance though..." Spike followed her. And that was the last of it. All of them had split up to their respective areas.

While Canterlot was where all the flair and main attractions are, across Equestria, new and exciting experiences can be found there.

But in Canterlot, something new has decided to involve itself in the festival. That being the teachers of the Pokemon School of course.

Hearing about this Pokemon Festival piqued their interested. Since they teach at the Pokemon School in Canterlot, it's relatively close at all times.

And as a bonus, they won't have to worry about their roles as Gym Leaders since the festival will be lasting 2 weeks. So they'll have enough time to be at their gym and come back for more of the festival.

After all, they're young, most of them anyway, so they must create new adventures by having fun. And something as lively as a festival is just one of those many possibilities.

"Pretty nice synergy going on here, huh?" Brawly commented.

"Mhm." Roxanne nodded in response. "It's nice to take a break from being a teacher and just enjoy yourself."

"Well, I'm already off to enjoy myself in the best way possible!" Roxie exclaimed as she brought along her band from her gym to cause some noise.

"Hm? Are you planning on playing here?" said Roxanne.

"Yeah?" Roxie turned around.

"Your music's a bit too...rough for Equestria don't you think?"

"Pssh!" Roxie scoffed. "Duh! It's meant to be rough! These ponies have already seen some tough Pokemon so they can handle it, no problem!"

"No use trying to convince her, Roxanne." Brawly placed his hand on Roxanne's shoulder. "We should just have as much fun as we can, okay?"

"I suppose. But...you might want to help me with that."

"Hm? Why?" Brawly wondered.

"All my life I've been teaching others about Pokemon non-stop whilst partaking in Gym Battles. I'm a bit caught up in the zone I need some help to freshen up my experiences."

"Gotcha covered on that." Roxie slid over to Roxanne. "I know how to have some real fun! Leave it to me!"

"Oh, yeah. We're experts in having a blast." Brawly grinned. "We can get started right now."

"You two? You're both always on edge..." Roxanne winced. "But I'll learn from both of you."

"Great! Here, hold this!" Roxie gave Roxanne a guitar.

"Eh?" Roxanne looked at it.

"Let's see you jam out with us!" Roxie pumped her fist into the air.

"Jam out? I can't play music at all!"

"That's why I'll show you the ropes miss busybody!" Roxie patted Roxanne on the back, dragging her along. "Brawly! You can jam out with us too if you want!"

"I only ever played the drums when I was young though..." Brawly put his hand on his head as he followed the duo to rock out wherever they can in Canterlot.


Relief zone.

The relief zone made a pleasing return with all the Pokemon from before coming back with new ones showing up as Fluttershy was eager to see if she could find Victini here again.

"Victini!" Fluttershy called out. "Victini, are you here today!" Her voice only attracted other Pokemon that weren't Victini at all. "Do you hear Victini, Audi?"

"Audino..." Audino couldn't pick up the familiar sounds of the Victory Pokemon anywhere.

"Guess I shouldn't expect Victini to be here immediately. Maybe tomorrow.." Fluttershy giggled.

"Audino." So did Audino. But that's when she heard something unusual. "Dino?"

"What did you hear, Audi?" Fluttershy hopped on Audino's back.

"Audino!" Audino pointed over North as she ran towards the source of the noise with Fluttershy on her back and Chikorita following behind.

Fluttershy and Chikorita believed that it could be Victini since Audino described the sound as a crunchy sound. And Victini does love to eat those macarons.

However, when they got to the north section of the relief zone where there was a small lake, they quickly found out that it wasn't Victini who was eating.

But instead, it was Adagio, snacking on some Lava Cookies.

"Mmmrgh." She chewed on the cookie before noticing that she was being watched by some new faces. "Hm?"

"A-Adagio?!" Fluttershy gasped.

"Audino?!"

"Chikorita?!"

"Oh, it's the shy one." Adagio finished her lava cookie.

"W-Why are you here?" Fluttershy hid behind Audino, whimpering.

"Why? Well, I promised Sonata and Aria that I'd spend some more time with them someday. And this whole festival thing's a pretty lucky way to do that." She used her magic to grab another lava cookie which was inside of a box full of them.

"Oh." Fluttershy peeked her head out. "That's all?"

"Why? You scared of me?" Adagio stood up as she flashed her eyes and magic at Fluttershy, startling her. Adagio laughed at how easy it was to make Fluttershy jump. "Haha! Too easy to scare!"

"Mrrgh!" Fluttershy pouted. "Well, as long as you're here to see your sisters and not anything bad."

"Feh." Adagio sat back down. "I'm not in the mood right now. I just want to see my sisters. That's all. But these lava cookies know how to occupy a girl."

"I thought it was Victini eating here..." Fluttershy lowered her head.

"Victini? You mean that V-shaped thing from earlier?"

"Ah! Yes!" Fluttershy shot up. "You saw it?!"

"Mhm. Just missed it. I have no idea where it is now." Adagio devoured another Lava Cookie.

"Aww...I knew I should've shown up earlier."

"Probably. But I was lucky to get some of these from Victini." Adagio referred to the box of lava cookies.

"Victini gave you that? Oh...Victini must be so sweet if it even trusts you."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Adagio shifted her eyes at Fluttershy

"Eep! S-Sorry! I didn't mean to-"

"Hah!" Adagio chuckled. "Kidding. I should probably do this to your human self one day. Anyway..." Adagio sat back down, ready to consume another lava cookie. "Get lost and go back to your little loud festival, anyway."

"Oh um okay. But won't you technically be apart of the festival too since you're seeing Aria and Sonata?"

"Please. I'm not going out in public. Everypony here already hates me so I'm only talking to my sisters in private. You should know what I mean." Adagio bit a cookie.

"Well...I don't hate you as much as I do now."

"Hm?"

"Well, you still scare me with your very...sharp teeth and...sharp eyes." Fluttershy gulped. "But if Victini trusts you and you're here to spend time with your sisters then-"

"Don't say it." Adagio turned around. "Don't you dare!"

"I won't." Fluttershy giggled.

"Tch." Adagio scoffed.

"But you know..." Fluttershy sat down next to Adagio. "I saw your battle with Rarity at the Canterlot Tournament and how it ended. I think that Rarity found some respect for you."

"Hm? Oh, right that. I guess I respect her too. It was a pretty good battle, I'll admit." Adagio nodded as she noticed that Chikorita was attempting to eat from her box of lava cookies. "Hey! Sneaky little-!"

"Chiko!" Chikorita ran over to Fluttershy. "Chi..."

"Sorry about that. Chikorita can get a bit greedy sometimes."

"You could at least ask. Here." Adagio used her magic to give Chikorita a lava cookie for the hungry Leaf Pokemon.

"Rita!" Chikorita grabbed the lava cookie, chomping on it as she laid on her back.

"Just don't get greedy." Adagio held the box close to her. "And why are you still here?"

"Oh. Sorry. I guess I got a bit caught up talking to you. And I still think that Victini is just invisible right now. Maybe that's why I haven't seen it yet."

"Well, if that's the case, you might wanna explore this entire zone. Might find that little thing."

"Ah, that's right. More areas were added from what I heard. I wonder how they're able to create new land so easily." Fluttershy pondered.

"Probably some Psychic shenanigans. Now go."

"Alright. Thank you, Adagio. Good luck with your sisters." Fluttershy hopped on Audino's back. "Audi! Chikorita! Let's get rolling!"

"Audino!"

"Chikorita!"

As Adagio watched the three of them walk off, that same golden light that rarely shows up appeared once more as it outlined her entire body, making Fluttershy, Audino and Chikorita feel at peace all of a sudden.

Adagio continued to eat her lava cookies as she was waiting for the right time to meet up with her sisters. More preferably, night, when most ponies will be asleep and it'll be less populated.

Just like the first festival, things were going smoothly in the beginning with enjoyment filling the air as it was only going to get more exciting in the coming days.

But much like the first festival, something was approaching. Something that could ruin the entire festival in mere minutes depending on the situation.


Lake Valor. Sinnoh.

A peaceful lake where the Legendary Pokemon Azelf resides.

But this peaceful lake has one horrifying result that still somewhat lurks in the lake to this day. What lies in this lake, other than Azelf, was something terrifying.

So terrifying that the Rift itself had arrived here with a blue and purple cosmic dome filled the lake itself. And it all relates to what it saw back at the secret base underneath Ponyville.

"You're not as horrifying as Ghetsis...but you're cruel enough to entertain me even further. It's time for you to return to the land of the living."

Stardust from the Rift's presence filled the grass of Lake Valor. The Pokemon there could sense an ominous energy rising as they all fled in fear.

And rightfully so. The stardust, while beautiful, had malice embedded within it. Malice that only seeks to cause chaos as the stardust was suddenly creating the form of a human.

The human figure was being materialized out of thin air as if the Rift was forcing life into existence. Or rather, it was bringing life back to the land of the living.

Not just any life.

"I look forward to seeing what interesting scenarios might come up with you involved."

"Pokemon Hunter J."

"Ah!" J gasped as her eyes widened with shock and adrenaline rushing through her body.

A human that was long gone from this world had been revived. J, for many years, could finally feel her body once. An odd experience to wake up to.

She looked at her arms and legs, noticing that her entire body was here. Not only had she been mysteriously brought back, but she also noticed that she was completely healthy.

As if she's only been gone for a few minutes.

"W-What happened...?" She muttered under her breath. The last thing she remembered was how her ship had crashed into Lake Valor when it had been hit by a Future Sight attack from Uxie and Mespirit.

"That's right. My ship crashed." J clenched her hands together, getting familiar with her body once more. She also noticed that the gadgets she carries on her were also in one piece.

Her arm cannon that allows her to turn Pokemon and humans into stone, putting them in a permanent state of petrification unless someone uses Hidden Power or they're placed in a special case.

The cases she uses to carry the Pokemon she turns to stone as they were laying on the ground around her.

And her goggles with many abilities, which allow her to detect heat and camouflaged or transformed Pokemon as it was on the ground next to her.

Even her Poke Balls had been brought back by the Rift.

However, one important object that hadn't been brought back was her airship. The ship that she used to travel the Pokemon world with her crew.

The ship and the crew had perished in the crash along with the many petrified Pokemon that were still inside of the ship. They had all met their end as the Rift decided not to bring them back.

Confused and perplexed on how she came back, J knew one thing that only mattered right now. Since she was alive once more, she could finally pick off where she left off.

"I don't know how I'm alive but...If I'm getting a second chance, I'll take it." J stood up. She then noticed that at the corner of her eye, a gateway was close to her.

This only confused J even further. First, she comes back to life, second, all of her equipment and Pokemon are back minus her crew and ship and third, she's still healthy as if nothing had happened to her.

She believed that some mysterious force was the cause behind this. And she'd be right. J was curious about the gateway. She thought that perhaps it might relate to her sudden revival.

Having no ship to fly, J decided to travel through the gateway to see where she would end up. Once she did, Hunter J ended up in Equestria for the first time.

The current location she was in was Appleloosa. One of the many locations involved in the Pokemon Festival. Which was something J wasn't expecting to see.

But what she also wasn't expecting were ponies.

Being brought back, this was an entirely new view for her. The appearance of the ponies confused her greatly. They were all so colourful with marks on their flanks along with the fact that they were standing alongside Pokemon, something that J was greatly familiar with.

it would take a lot of time to get adjusted to a sight such as this, especially considering her sudden awakening. But one thing that caught her attention really made J's befuddled energy shift drastically.

By heading over to a stand that sold Pokemon-themed toys of either random Pokemon or famous trainers across Equestria, one toy caught J's attention.

An Ash toy.

She came up to the stand, putting her hand on the toy as she picked it up. Even if she was gone for years and had just woken, she could never forget the face of the boy she despises so much.

"Uh...that'll be 5 bits, ma'am, for the Ash toy." A stallion said to her.

J tightened her grip on the toy, popping its head off as it landed near a young filly who was planning on buying one of the toys as the filly screamed, running away.

"Hey! You cant-"

J cut him off by giving him a steel-piercing gaze that forced the stallion to jerk back into his stand. J dropped the Ash toy as her confusion transformed into anger. She could tell that Ash was somewhat famous in this other world from how many toys of him there were.

This angered J greatly. She was unsure how long she was gone for but she knew that with all that time, Ash has been out there, making a name for himself whilst she seemingly met her devastating end.

But, that rage quickly transformed into confidence as she found an opportunity. If this was a completely different world with the creatures here co-existing with Pokemon, then she can continue her work here as well.

"You." J turned to the stallion.

"Y-Yes?!" He stammered.

"Where is your nearest airport?"

"W-What's an airport...?"

"Are you daft? I asked where your airport was!" J slammed her hand on the stand.

"I-I don't know! Only the Pokemon World has those, that's all I know!"

"Only..." J turned around to face the gateway she came through. Hearing how there wasn't an airport in this world and how the ponies here were so small as she towered over them and how this town was very old-fashioned, even more so than Johto in most cases, J came to a brilliant discovery.

This world was potentially easy to take advantage of as she smirked. "I see. Thank you for that." J walked off, leaving the toy stand as the stallion was no longer shaking uncontrollably.

J was a bit of an opportunist, at least in this situation.

This world being somewhat old-fashioned and less advanced than the Pokemon World meant that J, with her vast knowledge, could possibly get what she wants in this world whilst also seizing many opportunities with ease.

She hadn't forgotten her role as a Pokemon Hunter. She petrifies and steals Pokemon and adds them to her collection, which no longer exists due to the crash.

Which meant that she can potentially steal the Pokemon here from these ponies. And considering how tall she is in comparison, J knew that this would be like taking candy from a baby.

But first, she would need more than just her gadgets and Pokemon to get around in this new world.


Canterlot.

"Pikachu..." Pikachu suddenly shuddered as he felt an odd chill run down his spine.

"You feel it too, buddy?" Ash said to his partner.

"Pika." Pikachu nodded.

"Yeah...Weird. I guess it's still winter though. Come on. If we hurry we can see Rainbow Dash's Fifth Gym Battle happen. It's just up ahead!" Ash ran off as Pikachu followed.

Rainbow Dash's Fifth Gym Battle was apart of the festival surprisingly. The gym was originally located at Las Pegasus, but the festival decided to move it here so that trainers can advance in the Equestria League and enjoy the festival at the same time.

A perfect balance.

The gym didn't come with a building. Instead, to make it work with the Pokemon Festival, it was set in the Canterlot Gardens since it had essentially become a free battlefield at this point.

The Gym Leader whose entire theme is all about the weather was none other than a familiar face to Rainbow Dash. That being Soarin, of all ponies.

"Soarin! It's you?!" Rainbow Dash screeched.

"Yeah. It's me." Soarin nodded.

"B-But...I thought you were joining the league! How did you-"

"Oh that. Yeah, I'm still taking part in the league even though I'm a Gym Leader."

"How? Are you just gonna give yourself the Gym Badge?"

"Nope. You see, there's a spare Gym Leader who can also take my role. And she's just as skilled as me. So if I'm not available, she'll be the Gym Leader instead."

"Ooh..." Rainbow Dash nodded. "That's pretty nifty. But anyway! I came here for my fifth badge! So let's rumble!"

"Ah! I'm already going up against this little guy here." Soarin went over to a colt. "You're gonna have to wait until I'm done Dash."

"Urgh. Fine. I'll just watch." Rainbow Dash groaned as she flew over to the bench to spectate. If she watches the battle, she might get some insight into how she could approach Soarin when it's her turn.

Ash and Pikachu arrived to get a look at this outdoor Gym Battle due to them being hungry for battle like Rainbow Dash. Although, Ash couldn't really participate in this since he's not in the Equestria League. So the best he could do right about now was watch.

But he'll take that too.

"Did you finish your Gym Battle, Dash?" Ash went up to Rainbow Dash.

"Not yet. Gotta wait for this one to end. If I'm lucky, I might find the other gyms across Equestria during these 2 weeks. I'll skyrocket to the league!"

"That does sound like a good opportunity." Ash nodded.

"Pikachu..."

"Oh, I almost forgot. I pro-" Just then, Ash could feel that ominous chill run through his entire body as he could hear a familiar voice ring through his head.

"Hm? You say something, Ash?"

"...Azelf?" Ash uttered.

"Azelf?" Rainbow Dash tilted her head.

"Ah, it's nothing. Nothing. Thought I heard an old friend." Ash chuckled. But he had a suspicion that it wasn't just some random noise that came back to his memories.

This ringing was very familiar and current as it was capable of making Ash connected with someone familiar on a psychic level.

But it wasn't new to Ash.

He could tell that this ringing belonged to Azelf. The Willpower Pokemon.

Ash and Azelf share a powerful psychic bond. Azelf chose to connect with Ash because of Ash's strong willpower to protect Pokemon.

Much like how Twilight is learning about the capabilities of a trainer who owns a Psychic-Type Pokemon with hidden potential, Ash and Azelf have already reached that level long ago. Even if Ash doesn't know that yet.

Ash could tell that somewhere in Lake Valor, far away from here, Azelf was trying to communicate with Ash. But it was very faint and weak to reach him at the moment considering their distance from each other.

The Pokemon Festival was just beginning. With the first 20 minutes being a blast, everyone has a lot to look forward to for 2 whole weeks. But they should also be cautious of what is lurking around Equestria in the form of Hunter J as the journey continues.


Chapter 297 End.

Author's Note:

Choosing J was the best choice but the other options were pretty good too. But nowhere near as great as J.
