You’re now the new Pokémon League Champion!" Flare declared,putting on a innocent smile. "Wait...did you say I'm the new Champion? Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!" Rainbow shouted overexcited, wait a minute...you're the last Elite Four." "You would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! Her name is Lightning! She beat the Elite Four before you. She is the real Pokémon League Champion!" Flare shouted in a more normal voice. "I knew this wouldn't be true...wait,did you say Lightning? My rival bested the Elite Four and beat the Champion! I'll show her who is the REAL Pokemon master" Rainbow confidently stated while walking through the last door. As Rainbow walked out of the door, she saw right there, standing in the middle of the room, her rival...."I can't believe she becomes the Champion even though I bested her, like, twenty times. But I'm not giving up! I made it this far; hope this battle isn't as boring as the other times we battled before." Rainbow declared to herself before putting on a confident smile. Who knew her battle to become the Champion and to be the very best would be a battle with her rival, the one who went to the same academy as Rainbow but got kicked out? "Hey! I was looking forward to seeing you, Rainbow ! My rival should be strong to keep me sharp! While working on my Pokédex, I was looking all over for powerful Pokémon! Not only that, I assembled teams that would beat any Pokémon type! And now! I am the Pokémon League Champion! Rainbow! Do you know what that means? I'll tell you! I am the most powerful trainer in the world!" Proclaimed Lightning with a powerful expression. "Nopony is the most powerful trainer in the world. The most powerful thing in the world is friendship and love" Rainbow responded while holding her Pokeball. "How is love and friendship going to beat me, the most powerful and the greatest trainer ever!" Lighting challenged, overconfident in her inevitable victory. "I'll show you what the power of friendship and love can do." Rainbow countered, with her hoof griping tight on the Pokeball. Through moves that were powerful and some intense moments then it was over. "NO! That can't be! You beat my best! After all that work to become League champ? My reign is over already? It's not fair!" Lightning cried out, upset that she lost. Rainbow sighed tiredly after the rough battle "I won...yes! Thank you, my friends." Rainbow hugging her Pokemon "Why? Why did I lose? I never made any mistakes raising my Pokémon… Darn it! You're the new Pokémon League Champion! Although I don't like to admit it." Lightning crossed her forelegs, disappointed that she lost badly to her rival. "Awww yeah! That's the power of friendship and love." Rainbow cheered with a victorious smile. Then Professor Linden opened the door and went inside the room. "Rainbow! So, you won! Congratulations! You're the new Pokémon League champion! You've grown up so much since you first left with Pikachu!" Rainbow, you have come of age!" Then Linden faced Lightning with disappointment. "Lightning! I'm disappointed in you! I came when I heard you beat the Elite Four! But, when I got here, you had already lost! Lightning! Do you understand why you lost? You have forgotten to treat your Pokémon with trust and love! Without them, you will never become a champ again! Rainbow! You understand that your victory was not just your own doing! The bond you share with your Pokémon is marvelous! Rainbow! Come with me!" said Linden with a proud smile. "Huh, where are we going?" Rainbow asked confusedly. "You will see..." Linden quietly said as he walked the door with Rainbow. The room was wondrous! It apparently was a room where trainers who had beaten the Champion would enter this room to record their victory, and Linden was going to help record Rainbow's victory. "Er-hem! Congratulations, Rainbow! This floor is the Pokémon Hall of Fame. Pokémon League Champions are honored for their exploits here. Their Pokémon are also recorded in the Hall of Fame! Rainbow! You have endeavored hard to become the new League Champion. Congratulations, Rainbow, you and your Pokémon are Hall of Famers!" Linden proudly exclaimed. So Rainbow placed all of her Pokeballs in the device and it started recording into the Hall of Fame as soon as Rainbow placed her last Pokemon. "Thank you for all your hard work. I couldn't have done it without my Pokemon or, as I like to call them, my friends." Rainbow stated in a proud state. The End....until next time. > Chapter 1: New Adventure > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... ... Yawnnnnnn huh? what?! It is already that late?! Oh no! I overslept! "Sorry to keep you waiting welcome to the world of Pokemon! My name is Professor Linden. But everyone calls me Pokemon Professor, before we go any further, I'd like to tell you a few things that you should know about this world!"This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokemon." Professor Linden pulls out Pokeball and presses the button, releasing an Eevee. "We humans live alongside Pokemon as friends. At times we play together,and at other times we work together. Some people use their Pokemon to battle and develop closer bonds with them." said Linden. He then proceeds to withdraw Eevee into its Pokeball. "Now why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself." Do you understand the nights or do you understand the day. Won't you please tell me?" asked Linden. "I am the princess of the night. I have been understanding the nights since my birth." said Luna. "And won't you please tell me your name?" asked Linden. "My name is Luna" said Luna. I see, that is very interesting. Well, anyway... Luna! Are you ready? Your very own tale of grand adventure is about to unfold. Fun experiences, difficult experiences, there's so much waiting for you! Dreams! Adventures! Let's go to the Pokemon world! I'll see you later!" shouted Professor Linden as the world faded to black. Luna awoke to the pain of falling out of her bed. "Ow....that hurts" Luna groaned in pain. The princess of the night heard the sound of frantically stomping hooves coming towards her room. "Princess! Are you okay?!" said the guard. "I'm fine, royal guard, I just fell off the bed" Luna assured, picking herself up from the polished wood floor. "Are you sure? Did you get hurt badly?" asked the guard, concerned for his princess's safety. "No...not too much, but I'm fine" Luna stressed, putting on a smile to ensure that she was not harmed. "Well....okay, good to see you're safe." the guard eased, relieved that nothing was wrong,and went downstairs. "Since I'm awake now, might as well go to the PC." Luna decided while walking to the PC. At the PC, she opened up her mailbox to check if anypony had sent her any messages. "Hmmm... let's see oh I got a email from my "big sister", Tia." She proceeded to click on the mail, opening it. "Finally, I'm old enough to go on a adventure! I'm really excited to see Pokemon and you will come too. I will see you later, Luna!" the e-mail from Celestia said. Luna decided to pass the time playing on the computer for ten minutes. "Well...I've had enough fun on the PC; might as well go downstairs."concluded Luna as she trotted towards her bedroom door to go downstairs. When she reached the bottom of the staircase she was met by the guard from earlier, "Hi,Luna! I see you recovered from that fall. Your sister Princess Celestia was just here.She is probably outside somewhere.Oh, I almost forgot! our acquaintance, Professor Cedar, was looking for you." said the Guard "Why was he was looking for me?" asked Luna "He said he had a favor to ask of you." the guard responded "What kind of favor?" Luna asked, confused as to what the Professor would want. "He said something about pokemon but it's best for you to figure out." said the guard "Well, okay,if it has to do with pokemon then I'm willing to help out." Luna stated excitedly "So, anyway, do you have everything you need to go out?" inquired the guard. "Why do I need something when I'm just going next door" retorted the princess. "Cause you're going to town to town and you need your things to get ready for what's out there." responded the guard "Fine, at least I'm going somewhere." said Luna " Here's your trainer card..." the guard said as he handed her a card. "I'm now going to be a trainer and I'm ready for anything that is out there" said Luna confidently The two spent time packing and preparing things that the princess would need on her adventure. After all, she couldn't go in unprepared. The whole task only took about five minutes until Princess Luna was perfectly fit for the outside world. "And that all you need. Stay safe out there." advised the guard "Thank you, royal guard, I will." said Luna while walking out the door (Canterlot Garden) Making her way outside, she took a deep breath, then let it out, "Ah, fresh air! Now, better go to the lab." Luna decided. "Luna! there you are." Celestia shouted while trotting to Luna "Tia, why did you wake up so early?" Luna asked, putting on a smile "Well, I'm excited to get my very own pokemon!" Celestia cheered giddily, overexcited at the thought of a big adventure. "I'm excited too...Finally we can travel the world!" Luna exclaimed confidently. "Hey lets go to the lab together to get our very first pokemon!" Celestia suggested. "Ok! lets go together to get our very own first pokemon." Luna agreed with a smile With their minds made up, the duo made their way through the gardens, excitedly chatting about their expectations of their future adventure. The time they spent came to an abrupt end as they saw the door leading to the lab. Opening the door, they were met by a familiar professor pony. "Luna and Celestia! There you two are! I need to ask you two a favor. I'm conducting new Pokémon research right now. I was wondering if your royal highnesses could help me with it. You see, I'm writing a paper that I want to present at a conference. But there are some things I don't quite understand yet. So! I'd like you to raise a Pokémon that I recently caught." finished Professor Cedar with a lightly pleading smile. "Yes! we are willing to help you Professor!" said the both of princesses in unison "Thank you, your royal highnesses! You're a great help! When I announce my findings, I'm sure we'll delve a bit deeper into the many mysteries of Pokémon. You can count on it! Oh, hey! I got an e-mail! Professor Cedar turned to the PC and opened his inbox, checking the message. "Hm... Uh-huh... Okay. Hey, listen. I have an acquaintance called Mr. Pokémon. He keeps finding weird things and raving about his discoveries. Anyway, I just got an e-mail from him saying that this time it's real. It is intriguing, but we're busy with our Pokémon research..." The stallion paused in thought before coming to a conclusion, "Wait! I know! Luna and Celestia, can you go in our place? I want you to raise one of the Pokémon contained in these Balls. You'll be that Pokémon's first partner! Go on. Pick one!" Professor Cedar encouraged, excited about how close his research was to completion. "Um...you go first, Luna, I'm a little nervous right now" Celestia receded, unsure of what Pokeball to choose from. "Okay then, at least I get my first Pokemon..." Luna said as she walked to a Pokeball, "But this is the hardest decision of my life... What should I choose?" Luna wondered, as this Pokemon would be one she would have for the entirety of her journey. This wouldn't be a simple decision for the princess of the night. To Be Continue.....
