Prologue: The Beginning of the End(Edited)

View Online

Twilight faced the overgrown centaur with clear anger upon her face. The centaur climbed out of the rubble that the lavender princess puts him in. He hated to admit, but this pony princess was actually putting up a decent fight, even manages to damage him a few times. He glared realizing this isn't getting anyway.

"How bout a trade, Princess Twilight?" He suggested as he snaps his fingers. After this, 7 orbs appeared above her head. Orbs containing her friends. She glared at the demon once more. How dare he bring her friends into this mess.

"Their release for all the alicorn magic in Equestria" He announced. She gasped, the bastard centaur is using her friends to get rid of her magic. So Equestria could fall against, she then heard the protest of her friends telling her not to go through with it; not to listen to his words. She begins to weigh her options on what she should, she could say no and risk the lives of friends or she could give him her magic and risk the fall of Equestria.

"So what's it going to be, Princess?" Tirek grinned at the alicorn

'Damn, what should I do? I don't want to give up my magic or risk my friends' lives. C'mon Twilight, Think! Think!' Twilight mentally screamed.

Her friends looked at Twilight shouted and begging not to give up her magic.

"Don't do it, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash pleaded.

"We aren't worth it." Fluttershy added. Discord felt a pang in his heart when Fluttershy spoke those words, how could he had let this happened. If he had not listened to this monster's words and hurt not only his dear friends, but poor Fluttershy, none of this would have happened. He sighed and turn to look at his best friend and reformer

"Oh, But you are Fluttershy; You are the pony who taught me that friendship is magic. I had magic and friendship, and now; I have either." He said as he covered his eyes in shame and sadness, for once in a 1000 year, the Draconequues felt truly sorry for his actions.

"ENOUGH!!! I WANT AN ANSWER!! AND I WANT IT NOW!!!" Tirek roared.

Twilight stared at her friends and noticed something odd, a light was shone within the orbs in different color. What was that just now? Did it connect with her key or something? Her eyes gave off a rainbow colored shine and quickly vanish. She looked at her friends and then Tirek, knowing now what to do. She has made her decision.

"I will give you magic. In exchange for my friends." She announced. This shocked her friends greatly, what was she thinking? Tirek comply with her wish by snapping his fingers, releasing her friends. All except one, Discord; the one who caused all this. Twilight gazed at the sadden Draconequues. She begins to think about his release, he did apologize to Fluttershy and looks regretful. However, none of this would have happened if he didn't side with Tirek. But, like everypony else; He too was a victim of the monster. She glared at Tirek and stomped her hoof.

"All of my friends." She demanded. This surprised both Tirek and Discord. Did she really consider him a friend, even after the horrible things he had done? Tirek growled and pointed at the Draconequues who still had a look of shame.

"After what he has done to you. You still call him a friend?!" Tirek asked. She glared, she didn't care about that anymore. Discord was a victim as much as anypony. Sure, he is a jerk and had annoyed her plenty of times. But; he is a friend in his own way. He had persuaded her that friendship was more important than being a Princess. He also gave her and Cadence great time; sure he messed up their day. However, they manage to bond together either way. Plus, he had helped her with the book and the Tree of Harmony. If it wasn't for him, Equestria wouldn't be here right now.

"Release Him!" She scrutinized. Tirek signed and reluctantly snaps his fingers, setting the Draconequues free. He landed on the ground with the thud and looked at Twilight sincerity. He thanked her for letting him go and turned to his best friend, Fluttershy.

"I'm sorry." He apologized

"I know." She replied.

"Your turn." Tirek said as he turned to the alicorn princess and begin to suck out of her magic. Twilight felt like her life force was being drained. She struggled to get up, but felt too weak and fell. Tirek grew not only in power, but size as well. He grew taller and taller, loving the surge of magical power that he absorbed from the tiny princess. Twilight's eyes looked lifeless, she lazily gazed at her friends rushing to her aid.

"Twilight! What were you thinking?!" Spike asked. She weakly stood up and stared at the Draconequues who gained her and her friends' attention.

"Tirek tricked me into believing he could offer me something more valuable than friendship. But there is nothing worth more, I see that now. He lied when he said this medallion was given as a sign of gratitude and loyalty. But when I say that it is a sign of our true friendship, I am telling the truth, " He confessed as he took off the medallion given to him from Tirek, And put it on Twilight to wear as a sign of him finally accepting their Friendship. The medallion then shimmered a rainbow color and felt new found energy returning to the body. She looked at Discord with astonishment, could Discord be her key giver all this time?

"Ya think that might be the last one we need?" asked Applejack.

She wasn't sure, but right now. It could be their last hope. "We have to get to the chest." Twilight commanded. They all nodded and rush back to the Everfree forest where the Tree of Harmony and chest with five keys were residing. Twilight levitated her medallion towards the chest and just as she hoped, it changed into a key. She smiled and put the key into the lock and looked at her friends with determination.

"Together, I think we have to do this together." Twilight said.

They all proceed to grab their respective keys and push them into the lock with a counter clockwise turn. The tree begins to glow along with mane six respective cutie marks that are engraved into the tree. Suddenly, beams of light begin to surround the girls and they felt a change happens. Their appearances had changed a little, their manes have gotten bigger and more colorful and their cutie marks have spread to their hooves. Twilight smiled as they both flew up and faced the towering centaur known as Tirek.

Tirek noticed this glaring, how did they get back up? This is impossible. He growled and shot a blast of dark magic to the rainbow powered ponies. Unfortunately for the centaur, it didn't do any damage whatsoever. In fact, they're being protected by some kind of magical barrier. Tirek growled and glared at the rainbow ponies.

"How is this possible?! YOU HAVE NO MAGIC!!" Tirek roared.

"You're wrong Tirek, I had may give you my alicorn magic. But I carry within me the most powerful magic of all." She replied with a smirk. First a lavender beam of magic attack him, then a pink one and soon Tirek were bombed by white, blue, orange and yellow beams of magic that fused into one. The centaur screamed in pain as he is vastly loosing power, not only returning to Tartarus but reverting to his original form. The mane 6 flew up in a ball of magic and spread across Equestria, returning magic to their rightful owners. To Shining Armor, Derpy and the Wonderbolts. To the ponies of Appleloosa and finally the Princesses of Equestria; Celestia, Luna and Cadence. The mane six flew down to the Tree of Harmony and watched the magic go back to the tree. They all cheered in victory over the defeat of Tirek, however, Their victory was short lived. The tree begins to hum violently and turned into a very ominous black.

"W-What's going on?!" Twilight asked in a terrified voice. The ground begins to shake and then crack. Jade colored magic begins to erupt from the ground and black lightning strikes the earth.

"Ah don' get it. Why is the tree actin' like this?" Applejack asked as she was trying to gain her balance from the shaking earth. Everypony else who had recovered from Tirek's assault were wondering the same exact thing. Some were terrified, others were trying to calm their family and friends down.

"I believe I can answer that question Applejack." said an elegant voice. The mane six looked around to find Celestia with Luna, Cadence, Discord and Spike. Twilight watched the ponies of Ponyville run and fly around in absolute terror. It's really scaring, what could this mean?

"Princess, what's going on? Why's the tree going all crazy?" asked Rainbow Dash. Celestia sighed and gained a sadden look as she gazed at her precious ponies. She took a deep breath and looked at the mane six. The suspense was killing them, biting their lips to prepare the worse possible news the Princess could give them.

"It means. The end of the world."

They all gasped in horror. All of them except Luna, Cadence and Discord. Twilight was visibly shaking and scared to death, the end of the world. But, how? They had just got done beating Tirek from taking it over and it's going to end. They knew the news was going to be bad? But not as serve as this.

"H-How?! W-Why?! I don't understand" Twilight asked, tears threaten to come down her face. Discord sighed and decided to explain.

"Negative magic Twilight, It has been without the elements so long that negative magic begins to build up within the tree and spread throughout the planet. The tree is connected to the planet and its main core, without the tree holding the elements in place, the whole planet falls apart eventually." He explained. It's true, the negative magic began to suffice in the tree when Discord first ruled, then Tirek, Then Nightmare Moon, Then Chrysalis, Sombra, Discord again. Too many times, each new enemy unintentionally poured their negative magic into a harmonious land, poisoning a Tree of Harmony that soon cause the destruction of this very planet.

"B-B-But we gave the elements back to the tree. Surely, this will all stop right?" Rarity hoped. Discord shook his head sadly. "No Rarity, It's too late. The negative magic has already spread in Equus. There is absolutely no stopping it, ever since Celestia and Luna took the elements to stop me; they had already sealed their fates. When I saw the warning signs, I thought it wasn't something to worry about. That since you guys put the elements back into the tree. Things would go back to normal and Equus would not be in danger. However, I was wrong."

The mane six and the royal sisters looked down in sadness. Twilight let her tears fall off her face. She looked at her former teacher with hopeless eyes.

"I'm sorry Twilight, this is all my fault." Celestia told her as her voice finally broke and cried. Her sister, Luna went to console her while the rest looked down in despair. There was nothing they could really do. This is it. Celestia couldn't save her sister, she couldn't save Discord, she couldn't save her former student, Sunset. Now, she can't even save her subjects. She felt like a total failure and believed her mother and former teacher would be disappointed in her.

'I had failed all of you.' She grieved.

Celestia sighed as she finished crying, she prayed that she could save her subjects somehow. However, she had failed them instead.

'What kind of princess am I?' She thought in despair as she watched the ponies screaming and running around in terror did not help her nerves. She needed a miracle, anything that would save her subjects.

Meanwhile, in another universe. An otherworldly being is currently watching what's going on in Equus. The being sighed in sadness as he watched the Princess cry and plead for a miracle. He couldn't just leave them there and watch their home destroyed, along with their lives. He knew he had to do something about it. Although it could cause some chaos, he has no choice.

"Father? Are you watching them again?" Asked a bird-plane like creature. This creature is known as Latios, the Dux of the Hoenn region and a very strong Pokémon. Between him are 5 other Dux Pokémon in the room. Mewtwo, the Dux of Kanto, Celebi; the Dux of Johto, Darkrai; the Dux of Sinnoh, Cobalion; the Dux of Unova and last but not least, Diancie; the Dux of Kalos. Dux Pokémon are leaders of an entire region and give out orders to their fellow subjects. The one called father is known as Arceus, he is the Pokémon God and creator of the Pokémon World. Right now, the God stood before a dark blue crystal ball, gazing at the dying world that is Equus. He needed to help them, but how was he going to do it is the question.

"Yes, my child, I am. I cannot let them burn and watch their world be destroyed. " He replied. However, a certain Pokémon of Kanto was not on board with the idea of helping them.

"Father. You're not thinking of bringing those equines to the Pokémon world are you?" He asked. "You do know mother would be most angry with you that you just decide to dump an all new species into our world without consulting her" The alpha Pokémon sighed, Yes, he was well aware that Xerneas would be angry that he just decided to drop them here. However, he has no choice but to go against this time. He nods at the Pokémon and smiles.

"Yes, I am well aware Mewtwo, But I will not let them die; especially if I can do something about it. My Dux 6 it has come to my attention that you will be living among new species of the world Equus. I know you all are hesitant about them, especially since they are multiple species that will be arriving here. Believe I have thought of the consequences that could transpire and I will personally deal with any world-ending threats they may harm my precious Pokemon or the creatures of Equus. But I assure, this can work and we will all live together in peace and harmony" He replied with complete confidence in his voice. He then looked at the crystal ball as his eyes began to glow a godly gold. He used his telekinesis to contact the Equus world leaders, mainly Celestia.

Celestia is pacing back and forth in a suspenseful fashion, muttering about how she failed. If this were any normal given situation, Discord would have teased and laughed at her. However, he felt no need. The Draconequus clenched his teeth, knowing full well that this is partially his fault. The geysers of magic continued and the black lightning scorched the ground. She prayed for a miracle to happen, for a miracle to come to her and save her precious ponies. Anypony would be great right now, if they had the power to save her subjects. However, her prayers have been answered when she heard a voice in her head.

"Hello Princess of Equestria" said a deep voice in the sun monarch's head. She stopped her pacing and looked around, thinking she had heard somepony. 'Had my prayers been answered or my mind have been playing tricks on me .' She questioned. The ponies noticed this and looked at her with confusion.

"Is there something wrong sister?" asked Luna. Celestia however ignored her and looked around 'Who are you? What's going on?' She demanded. Arceus chuckled lightly and smiled 'Relax, It is telepathy. Ahem, My name is Arceus: Pokémon God and creator of my universe. I understand that your world is being destroyed due to the negative magic of the elements. I am, correct?' He asked. This surprised Celestia, a being who calls himself a god and knows who she is? What is a Pokémon anyway?

'Arceus? Pokémon God?' Celestia question.

'Yes, I know you have a lot of questions right now. But there is no time to explain, Celestia. I am here to save not only your subjects and yourself. But other beings of Equus as well. Do you accept my help?' Arceus asked. Celestia, thought about it hard; this Arceus was something she hadn't heard of in her life. Can she truly trust him and help her out of this situation? What choice does she have right now? If it's to save everypony, she'll do it.

'I accept your assistance Arceus, However; I do demand questions later. So what is the plan?' asked Celestia.

'Well, I won't be able to save your planet since it is beyond repair. But I can save your subjects and others too.' Arceus stated as his eyes glowed more. Celestia noticed something in the corner of her eye and found a portal, about seven of them in total.

"What in tarnation!?" Applejack called out as another portal appeared behind her. Twilight went to go investigate one of the portals by placing her hoof into on them. It sink right as her eyes widen, she quickly retracted her hoof and a small smile appeared on her face. Could this be a way out for them?

'I placed portals all over Equus and contacted the world leaders about it. Right they should be getting into the portals along with their subjects to save themselves. What I want you to do is to contact your subjects and explain the situation. Then, tell them to only pack the essentials and walk through the portals. Once all of Equus's inhabitants are in the Hall of Legends, I will explain everything. Good luck.' Arceus finished as he cut off the telepathic link. Celestia looked at the screaming and running ponies, then she turns her head to the portals; she nodded and made a determined face. This is her chance to actually save them from an early death. She is going to save her subjects no matter what.

"Princess? Why are there some many portals appearing in Ponyville? That is---if you don't mind." asked Fluttershy shyly.

"I was just speaking to an otherworldly being by the name of Arceus, I assume he is from a different world or possibly a universe. He is the caused of the portals you see and has agreed to help us all." Celestia explained. Luna eyes widen but then gained a suspicious look, while mane six cheered in happiness, Luna didn't trust this Arceus pony at all. Why did he want to help them? What will happened if they have reached this new world? So many questions begin to fill up the princess of the night's head.

"Sister! What were you thinking?! We do not know who this Arceus is? How does he know about our world? How does he know about us?!" She demanded. Her nostrils flared and clenched her teeth. For all she could know, this Arceus character could lead them into a trap

"That's a very good question, Princess Luna" Twilight added. She was grateful for Arceus trying to save her and her friends, but why is he doing it? What will he gain from it? How will this affect her and her friends? Celestia sighed and looked at her sister in the eyes, she nodded and said "Do not fret Luna, he agreed to answer my questions when we get all of our subjects into the portal. I promise sister, we will get some answers." Celestia promised. Luna sighed, her sister can be bit of blockhead from time to time, but she trusts her judgment. She looked at her elder sister and smiled.

"Alright. But we better have answers and they better be good."

"Alright everypony, You heard me exactly; Arceus has agreed to help us. He wants us to pack up only the essentials and jump into the portals. I want you all to go pack up and get each of your families here. I'll contact all of Equestria and tell them the exact same thing. Is that clear?!" Celestia ordered. They all nodded with determination upon their faces, Celestia smiled at that and nodded back. "Alright! Go!" The mane six spread out and begin to pack up.

"Uh, Auntie Celestia? How are we supposed to contact all of Equestria?" asked Cadence. The sun monarch smirked and pointed at the Spirit of Chaos. "We have a reality warping Spirit of Chaos with us. That's how." Discord smirked back and nodded. Having gotten out of his despair-filled funk, he felt more ready to help out this time. This time things were going to be a lot more different.

"Leave it to me." He said.

Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she can, the prismatic mare ignored all of the cries and panicky screams of Pegasi rushing in the portals with their belongings.It was like something she would see in an action-packed movie. She shook her head to clear those thoughts and flew up to Cloudsdale searching for Scootaloo. "Hey Squirt! Ya up here? Squirt!?" She called out. The reason why she is up there in the first place was because of Tirek, she was afraid that bastard would get his stupid claws on her. It was also a good thing that they managed to beat him. Her thoughts were interrupted by the call of her name.

"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" said a young voice.

Rainbow Dash turned her head to see the orange filly running up to her with a worried expression on her face. "Scootaloo!" Rainbow Dash shouted out as she grabbed the filly and held her close. "Ah, you scared me squirt!"

"Rainbow? What's going on?" Asked Scootaloo, sounding a bit scared. Who can blame her? Especially of what is going on around them.

"I got good news and bad news." She sighed, should she tell her? what will she say? and how will it affect her. Rainbow took a deep breath and looked Scootaloo straight in the eye.

"Well, Squirt. The bad news is that our world is dying, but the good news is we are going to a new one. I don't know much about the details. You'll have to ask the princesses. C'mon, let's go pack up" Rainbow Dash said. Scootaloo could only look at the ground for a while, processing on what Rainbow had just said. Their world is dying? Is that why the neighboring ponies were rushing towards those portals to the new world? She knew there was no time to grieve. She shook away any fear and despair she had and then back at her big sister, running after her to go pack up her belongings too.

Applejack is currently packing with her family, already told them about what is going on and what's happening. "Big Mac, Remember to pack the essentials." She said. Big Mac nodded, packing up everything in a box. He quickly looked around, made sure nopony was looking and put the smarty pants doll that was originally Twilight's into the box. He smiled happily and closed it. Applebloom had already finished packing and now the apple family is waiting for Granny Smith.

"Tsk. Granny Smith ain't done yet?" Asked the orange mare.

"Eeyup" Big Mac replied.

"Hold yer horses. Ah'm ready. Ah'm ready." She called out as she has a big backpack filled with pots and pans at her side. Along with a jar of zap apple jam.

"Whatever' this new world has, it better has some apples." Granny smith said. The other apples couldn't agree more, imagine a life without apples is just plain scary. Applejack sadly looked at the now destroyed apple farm. Years of love, hard work and pride put into the farm now wasted thanks to that stupid tree. A tear slid down the apple mare's face, she quickly wiped it and grabbed Winona, placing her on her back.

"Rest. In.Peace. Sweet Apple Acres." Applejack said as the family left their old home and ready to go start their new lives.

"Listen. I know it's very scary. But I can assure you that it's 100% safe. Princess Celestia has talked to a being named Arceus. He's agreed to help us and even lend us a home." Fluttershy explained to her forest critters that she has in the house. Angel however, was not liking the idea of somebody just offering a home for them, like Luna's previous thoughts it sounded like a trap. Fluttershy gasped at this and shook her head, leaning her head down to Angel's eye level.

"Oh no, Angel. It's not like that at all. I'm sure Mr. Arceus really wants to look out for us." Fluttershy assured. She then turned to all her forest critters and smiled.

"Alright, everyone. Let's pack up and I'm sure whatever might come to attack you. I will protect you all, that is a promise!" Fluttershy declared. The critters all cheered and went to grab their belongings, which wasn't much, but small bags of food.

"WHAT!! The world is ending?!" Cupcake gasped. Carrot Cake couldn't believe it either, but then he looked outside and noticed how gloom it looked. Geysers of magic erupting from the ground. The house shaking and the ground cracking a bit. Not to mention the black sky and the black lightning that will strike the very earth once and a while.

"Yeah!WewerefightingthatmeaniepantsTirekandwewon.Butthentreeofharmonywentallscaryand-"Pinkie's fast paced speech was interrupted with Cupcake's hoof in her mouth. The parents sighed in relief and looked at the element of laughter.

"Pinkie. Tell us slowly, so we can understand you better. What is going on?" Asked Cupcake. The world is ending, but why? What is causing it and what will happen to them. She released her hoof out of Pinkie's mouth, wiping away some of the saliva.

Pinkie took a deep and explain in a much better pace. "The world is ending because the tree of harmony is dying. But don't worry, Princess Celestia talked to this pony named, Arceus who is gonna help us!"

The cakes look confused and shocked, but mostly confused. Wasting no time, Pinkie shot upstairs and shouted to the Cakes.

"I'll grab the cake twins and some of their stuff! You pack up the cake and cupcakes!"

"But Pinki-"

"The Cake!"

Rarity and her parents were frantically packing up their belongings. Alright, it was mostly Rarity who is packing up frantically, not wanting to lose her most precious equipment. Sewing machine, at least 48 stools of thread kept in a box, her favorite dresses, gemstones for decorations and finally a mirror. She felt like there needs to be more she needed to pack. She ran back and forth in her room, searching for items she may need for this move. Her little sister, Sweetie Belle walked in watching her sister ran back and forth in a comedic fashion. The young filly stifled a giggle which was heard by the Fashionista.

"And just what is so funny? The world is about to end!" Rarity frantically said.

Sweetie Belle chuckled, wiping a tear from her eye.

"Sorry Rarity, I just couldn't help it. Seeing you run around like that." Her laughter died down and soon her smile turned into a frown. She walked up to her older sister.

"Rarity? You sure about this?" She asked, she didn't want to leave her home, but what choice did she have? Rarity knew exactly what her little sister was talking about. She sat down and wrapped a hoof around her, pulling her close.

"Sweetie Belle, I wasn't sure myself when I first heard it. But I have faith in the princesses. I even have faith in Discord, surprisingly. What I am saying is that, No matter what happens. We'll always be a family." Rarity promised. Sweetie Belle smiled, hugging her sister back and feeling much better.

'Who knows, maybe this new world will have a charming prince or even a handsome knight.' Rarity thought with a blush creeping on her face.

Twilight and Spike sorrowfully walked down the path that lead to their house, or should I say destroyed house. It was way beyond repair and the some of the books were still burning. All of her belongs, her telescope, the books, her bed were all destroyed thanks to Tirek. There wasn't much she could grab, but a couple of books that were still readable. Spike sighed sadly at his comic collection being destroyed as well. He looked at his sister figure and noticed how greatly upset she looked.

"We had some great memories here---didn't we?" Twilight began.

"Y-Yeah. I'll miss this place." Spike replied. It is the truth, while they will be receiving a good. This home will remain forever in their hearts. Spike knew how heartbroken the young Princess is and decided to cheer her up.

"Twilight. It is true that we lost our home and I'll miss it. But we never lost our friends and family. In a way, that's our home and we never lost it at all." Spike wisely said. Twilight's eyes widen at this, Spike's right. Her friends are her home and as long as they're around, she won't feel so empty. She wiped the tears and hugged her number one assistant.

"Thank you, Spike. What will I do without you?"

"You wouldn't have an awesome dragon friend." Spike conceitedly said.

Twilight just rolls her eyes with a smile. The two laugh and decide to end their packing up from there. The two were met with Owlowiscious who landing on Twilight's back.

Celestia eyes began to glow white as Discord cast a spectral image that loomed over Equestria and sound spell. "Ready when you are Princess." The spirit of chaos called out. She nodded and begin her speech.

AN "ATTENTION ALL PONIES OF EQUESTRIA!!! THIS IS PRINCESS CELESTIA! IF YOU ARE WONDERING WHY THERE IS MAGIC ERUPTING FROM THE GROUND AND BLACK LIGHTNING RAINING FROM THE SKY!! IT IS BECAUSE OUR WORLD IS ENDING!!! NOW DO NOT BE AFRAID!! DO YOU SEE THOSE PORTALS? THOSE PORTALS WILL LEAD US TO A NEW WORLD THAT WE SHALL LIVE IN!!! ALLY NAMED ARCEUS HAS AGREED TO HELP US!! WHAT I WANT YOU ALL TO DO IS TO PACK UP THE ESSENTIALS AND GO INTO THE PORTAL!!! WE DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG UNTIL THIS WORLD WILL EXPLODE!! BUT YOU HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE!! SO PLEASE, MAKE IT QUICK!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!!!" Celestia announced. Once she was done, the spectral image of herself faded and she notices the ponies packing up their things, grabbing their children and leaping through the portals without any hesitation.

"There, That should do it." Celestia said. She turned and saw the mane 6 along with the cutie mark crusaders and their parents running up to her. She gazed at their belongings, some brought blankets, pots and pans, books, toys, pets and even cake. She chuckled, leave it to Pinkie Pie to pack up cake. She also noticed that some of the sad looks that some of the ponies have on their faces, mainly the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

"Ah can't believe that the world is ending.." Applebloom said.

"Yeah and we will leave behind our world. The one where we all grew up in." Sweetie Belle added.

"And jumping into a new one to live in." Scootaloo finished. The mane six, Rarity's parents, Discord and the princesses all look at them in sadness. There was a moment of silence around them all, but that silence was cut off from the trio of girls who jumped up in excitement.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!! WORLD JUMPERS!!! YAY!!!" The girls shouted out in unison. The ponies all sweat dropped at how quickly they were able to change their mood.

"Well, they're taking it well." Twilight said sarcastically. After what just transpired, she looked at her friends and then her fellow princesses. "Is anypony ready?" asked Twilight.

They all nodded and leaped into the portal. When they finally stepped in, they noticed that they are in a very spacious white room with a golden double door. She took her surroundings and notices many species were also in the room such as, Deer, Dragons, Minotaur, Griffins, Buffalo, Zebras, Diamond Dogs and even Changelings. That surprised Twilight that they were allowed into this new world.

"So... they're here as well, huh?" Twilight said to herself as she narrowed her eyes upon the insect like creatures. Her thoughts, however were cut off by the shout from Pinkie Pie.

"Check it out girls!" Pinkie said as she pointed to the portals that lead them to the spacious white room had a clear view of Ponyville. Most of the houses were nothing but rubble and the ground was beyond repair. She turned to her left and watched the last ponies jumping into the white room with their families. She then turned back to the portal and noticed the loud humming becoming louder.

"It's about to blow." Luna announced. Everyone in the room watch as their home planet rapidly crumbled away and exploded in the blinding flash of light. They all covered their eyes from the light of the explosion, after it died down. They were staring at nothing but space dust, dust of their homeland.

"Goodbye Planet Equus." Celestia said as a tear escaped her eye, however, all of the sadness in the room quickly vanished as the golden double doors open. Celebi walked out of the door and smiled sincerely at the many species. She analyzed them all and nodded to herself. 'Alright, that's all of them. No one is missing and no one got left behind. Good' She thought.

'Dad would kill me if I left someone behind, but then again I could always travel back in time and prevent it. Alright, time to get started.'

"Hello, I am Celebi; Guardian of Time. This is the Hall of Legends, and Welcome to the Pokémon World." She introduced.

Celebi gazed at the many species that looked at her with total confusion, amazement and if she isn't mistaken; fear. Many of them wanted to run from her or attack her out of fear. She sighed and might as well assured them that this isn't a trap or anything. She gave her best smile and took a deep breath.

"Relax everyone, I am not a threat. We are only trying to help. I am sure you're confused and scared." She announced. She could hear some of the world leaders scoff at the mention of fear. She chuckled to herself and continued her speech.

"I'm sure you all have tons upon tons of questions. Those questions will be answered in a few moments."

This seemed to relax most of them and she sighed in relief. She didn't want a war breaking loose, her thoughts were interrupted by someone or should she say some pony calling her name. She turned to see Twilight Sparkle, hesitantly walking up to her. She smiled and had to contain herself from hugging her. She was simply an adorable looking equine. The princess of friendship walked right up to the Dux Pokémon and looked at her with slight fear and amazement. This creature wasn't anything she has ever seen, she looked like a plant-like fairy from one those fairy tale books that Fluttershy had own. She also seems friendly, and not hesitate to attack. So far so good right?

"Umm, excuse me Ms. Celebi, was it? While I do appreciate the place you have for us. I was thinking, don't you think that it is a little crowded in here to live in. Wh-where are the beds and libraries?" Asked Twilight. Twilight's friends giggled and rolled their eyes from the mention of libraries. That's their little egghead.

"YEAH! IT'S TOO DAMN CROWDED!!" Yelled out a green dragon. The rest of dragons and even griffons agreed with the dragon.

Celebi could only giggle and then soon, her giggles turned to laughter. "L-L-Hahaha. Live in here?!? Oh no no no no no! You won't be living in here. Hahahaha" Celebi laughed. That's pretty funny to the time traveler. She can imagine all the inhabitants of Equus mashed up against each other, trying to live or even breathe in the white room.

This confused everyone in the room. What did she mean not live in here, sure it was crowded; but where else could they live? She wasn't thinking about kicking them out was she? Arceus did say they could live here. Just what did she mean. Celestia decided to speak her words to the Voice of the Forest. She walked up to her and stood next to Twilight and gave a small smile towards the Pokémon.

"Celebi? Was it? A being by the name Arceus stated that he could help us. What exactly did he mean by that?" She asked.

"Oh, you mean Father? Yes; that is why I came out here. He wants an audience with the world leaders of Equus. Once you enter this room behind me. All your questions will be answered by him. That I promise, now if you excuse me, I have an announcement to make" Celebi instructed. She floated towards the crowd and smiled at them. The crowd was talking among themselves, probably conversing on what is happening. She cleared her throat to gain their attention.

"Attention please! Father would like to see the world leaders of Equus. That means, the leaders of Equestria, the Griffinstone, Crystal Empire, Changeling Kingdom, Dragon Kingdom, Yakyakistan, Zebra Tribe, Diamond Dog Village, Buffalo Tribe, Minotaur Kingdom, City of Thicket and yes even Ponyville. All you need to do is just enter this door and I promise, all your questions will be answered. Well, I'll be in there myself. See you all there" She announced and disappeared in a flash. The leaders of their respective kingdoms and palaces walked towards the golden double door and opened it. The princesses looked at each other and nodded.

"Well, mind as well get this started" Luna said as she walked up to the two princesses, following her behind was Cadence. Celestia opened the door with her magic and stepped into the room. There she noticed the room was a bit smaller than the previous one, it also was gold in colored. She looked around and noticed there were six beings that are currently staring at her and the rest of the world leaders. One of them she recognized as Celebi, the other next to her on her right was a strange bipedal creature of the lavender color. His eyes locked cold onto her as if he was waiting for her to attack or mess up. She looked to see a dark figure across from Celebi, he reminded her of Nightmare Moon. He gazed right back at her and wave nonchalantly at her. She nodded and noticed a blue-gray bird like creature who smiled at her and another creature who seemed to be made out of diamonds. 'These are some odd, yet interesting creatures. Especially that spooky-looking one, I wonder what's his story.' She wondered. She then looked at the last one who is more focused on other world leaders than anyone else. Celestia took a good look at him and blushed a tiny bit, she didn't want to admit it but he is quite handsome. For some odd reason, she wants to rub her hooves onto his fur chest; her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice behind her.

"Well, Well, Well, If it isn't little miss sunshine" said a creature with a wicked distorted voice. She turned around with surprise on her face to see her archrival, Chrysalis; Queen of the Changelings. What was she doing here and what is she planning, she locked eyes with her cat-like green ones and glared a bit.

"Chrysalis" Celestia spoke. Twilight looked up and saw the changeling queen, she glared at bug-like changeling along with her sister in law. She and Cadence light up their horns, ready for the bug queen to attack. This intrigued some of the Dux Pokemon, especially Mewtwo, who looked at the scuffle with curiosity.

'Ah. I see, so their enemies. I wonder how that came to be?' Mewtwo wondered.

"Chrysalis, what are you doing here?" Cadence demanded.

Chrysalis rolled her eyes at the unnecessary hostility and answered their questions. " Why I am here because I'm a world leader too. Hello, Changeling Kingdom?" Cadence and Twilight raised a brow in suspicion, while Celestia simply nodded and whispered "You better be on your best behavior" Chrysalis, again just rolled her eyes and scoffed. She wasn't going to start anything, she is entirely grateful that this Arceus has saved her precious subjects. She wasn't going to just take his assistance and suddenly attack them, she wasn't stupid. All of their thoughts came to halt when a blinding flash of light happened.

"Ugh! I'll be blind if this becomes an often thing!" The dragon king, Tavorth groaned in annoyance. The flash died out and stood there, was a large goat-like creature. He had a golden ring around his body, long tail and white all over except for a few parts which are blackish gray. He looked extremely menacing and loomed over the leaders. Some of them, shook and scared to move while others stood their ground; preparing for what could happen. However, no violence came as Arceus chuckled and looked at the leaders of Equus. The Pokemon God chuckled at their reactions, already used to it by now. He calmed down and smiled down on the leaders.

"Calm yourselves, I am no threat. I am Arceus; God of all Pokémon and Creator of this universe. I am sure you have plenty of questions am I correct" Celestia was sensing some serious deja vu from all this. She cleared her throat and walked up to the Pokémon God, she smiled and bowed her head. The rest of the leaders followed suit, some were more reluctant than others.

"It is pleased to meet you Arceus, I would like to say thank you for saving my subjects and the others from the destruction of our planet. And you are indeed correct, I do indeed have some questions. How do you know of Equus and what are Pokémon?" asked the sun monarch. The rest of the world leaders were curious about that as well. What are Pokemon and what can they do exactly? Arceus nodded and smiled. He cleared his throat and began his explanation. Twilight wished she had her notepad to take down notes, she sighed, realizing it was destroyed along with her home planet.

'Guess I'll just have to stick with keeping the information in my head. Dammit'

"Pokémon are mystical creatures that possess great power. There are 721 known species of Pokémon in the entire world, but I am pretty sure there are more waiting to be discovered. Most Pokémon will resemble animals, however; some resemble plants, humans, objects and even enigmatic appearances." Arceus explained.

King Aspen, the king of the City of Thicken; looked surprised about the mention powers "Powers? What kind of powers Pokémon possesses?"

"Right. Pokémon have many powers from breathing fire to controlling time, space and antimatter" He replied in a serious tone. This shocked everyone, but the Dux Pokémon in the room. Pokémon can control space and time? The dark figure in the room known as Darkrai chuckled and looked at them. "As obvious as it is. I can tell you are quite bewilder; Yes, we Pokémon can do many things. Celebi is a time traveler, Mewtwo is one of the strongest Pokémon ever and practically the god of all psychic type Pokémon. And me? I, well... I'm a Pokémon of dreams and nightmares---mostly nightmares." He said with a hint of sadness. This interest Luna, She looked at him and could not believe there was another dream caster that had the same problems of the darkness as she once did.

'He... He's just like me...' Luna thought in awe. To have somepony, or rather someone who is very much similar to her. Maybe this Pokemon world won't be as bad as she thought it would be.

Diancie and Latios smiled at this spoke.

"I'm Latios, I'm one the fastest Pokemon you'll ever meet. Over here next to me is Diancie. She can create gems." This grabbed the attention of Cadence and the Diamond Dog, Queen; Pawlina.

'A creature who can create gems?! This is amazing.' Queen Pawlina thought.

'So she can create gems. Let's hope Spike doesn't hear about this.' Cadence thought with a chuckle. Imagining the little dragon, begging the diamond Pokemon for gems to eat.

Twilight noticed that he also mentions types, a psychic type. "Wait a second? Psychic? You mean somepony who can read minds or see into the future?!" She asked with excitement. Celebi chuckled at this and nodded at the question.

"Well, you are half right. Psychics can read minds and see into the future, but some of them can shape shift, turn invisible, use telekinesis, warp reality and even can make black holes" She then heard a gasp from the last part and had to reassure them that it won't happen. "Now onto typing and abilities. There are 18 types in total: Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Dragon, Ice, Ghost, Dark, Fairy, Psychic, Rock, Ground, Steel, Flying, Normal, Fighting, Bug and Poison. Each type has either one weakness and multiple weakness. For example, fire is weak to water and ground. Now if you were a fire and ground type, you weakness will still be water, but it hurt a lot if you get hit. Abilities are what help Pokémon either during battle or everyday life. My ability, Natural Cure can heal all status conditions if I rest myself for a while; status conditions are effects that happen to your body if you get hit by an Pokémon attack or eat bad food. These status conditions are burning, freeze, paralysis, poison, sleep and confusion. But don't worry, we have medicine to heal all of those conditions so do not worry" Celebi finished.

They all nodded and absorbed in all the information, as soon as they were done; Celestia still had two more questions "That's very useful information; thank you. But you still didn't answer my question Arceus, How do you know of Equus and why are you doing all of this for us?"

"Yeah! And where do we go? You haven't explained that part yet" Asked Empress Grace, the leader of Griffonstone. Irritation is clearly in her voice, she just wanted to get her subjects to a home and rest from this event.

Arceus looked at them both and decided to get right to it, he then summoned a dark blue crystal ball and begin to explain once more. "It's simple really, the reason how I know is this crystal ball. I had watched you all since the beginning, your universe is quite interesting to watch and of course one of my favorites. What you don't know, however, is that our universes are actually next to each other, in a sense we were like neighbors. While I looked out for my universe, I also kept an eye on this one. It's sad to see it go, such a harmonious and peaceful place erased due to the Tree of Harmory. I told Starswirl that this would happen, he did not believe me."

This was shocking to the four princesses, especially Twilight, "Wait?! You knew Starswirl?!" How was this even possible?! First, he knew about Equus and now he knows about Starswirl?! How come he was never mentioned in the books either? So many questions ran through the princesses heads

"Yes, but that's for another time my dear, Now as to why I'm doing this. One; I couldn't just watch you all die now can I? And two; well, I am ready to trust new species upon my universe again. And I am sure all of us can live in harmony" He smiled. Celestia, however, was unsure; sure knew most of her ponies would gladly accept this, but the other species might be hesitant about it. She can only hope that no war would break out. Mewtwo glared when Arceus spoke those words, he didn't trust these creatures one bit. He barely knows anything about them and what they're capable of. He didn't want to trust these new creatures---yet. Seeing that there is no way to argue against his blockhead of a father, he speaks.

"I still don't trust these creatures. But I will help you all. However, if you try to attack my subjects; I will be forced to eliminate you" Mewtwo declared. This made a few leaders shudder, something about him screamed powerful. Some of the world leaders glared at the purple cat, daring him to attack. However, this caused a certain Sword of Justice to speak up.

"Mewtwo, no need to scare them. It is true that we do not know them exactly and it is excusable to be cautious; but I'm sure that they mean no threat. They already lost their home, we are here to help. Not start a war." He spoke calmly, slightly narrowing his eyes at the psychic type.

Mewtwo growled and glared at the Sword of Justice. How dare he speak down at him as if he were a foolish Eevee. "I am only looking out for my fellow Pokemon. Don't forget, I am the stronger one here. So if you're issuing a fight you better rethink your decision."

The world leaders could feel the tension rise within the room. Celestia was about to stop the argument before it went into a full-on brawl.

Cobalion growled and was about to retort until Arceus stepped in to stop the both of them within a golden telekinetic grip.

"ENOUGH! We are here to help them out and get them settled in a nice home. Not start over a fight about whose right or wrong. Cobalion, I understand you're trying to prove to Mewtwo that isn't the case, but no need to get into an argument. And Mewtwo, while it was wrong for Cobalion to speak ill of you. You do not start a fight with a fellow Dux. Do you two understand?" Arceus lectured.

"Yes, Father." The two legendary Pokemon replied in unison. Celebi and Diancie felt rather embarrassed by the way they were acting. Arceus turned to the world leaders and gave off a sheepish chuckle, clearly from embarrassment.

"Forgive us, He is just worried for his subjects and being cautious." He spoke softly.

"It is alright, We understand. " Luna replied. Remember how she acted before when she learned about Arceus wanting to help them. Now that she has seen what kind of ~~pony~~ Pokemon he is, he was someone she can trust.

Arceus cleared his throat and gained the attention of everyone in the room. "Now then, Lastly; Living Arrangements. As Twilight asked before, no you won't be living in that spacious white room. In fact, most of you won't be living in one place". He could tell he confused them even further, maybe even scared them a bit. Perhaps he should of chose his words carefully? He sighed and then add on what he's trying to say. " What I am saying is that, you'll be living in several continents. The Water Continent, The Air Continent, The Mist Continent, The Grass Continent, The Sand Continent and lastly the Life Continent, or should I say the Sea of Wonders. There are cities, villages and towns within those continents that it much similar to Equestria." Arceus stated.

This surprised Celestia and Luna, they could possibly be moving to a continent that is similar to Equestria. She was about to voice her opinion on this when he arch nemesis, Chrysalis spoke.

"I have a question. While I do appreciate for what you're doing for my subjects. Does this place possess any love for my Changelings to feed." She asked, with a glint of hunger in her eyes. Twilight, Cadence and Celestia glared at the insect queen, preparing to jump on her if she plans to ruin this.

Arceus eyed the changeling queen and nodded towards her. "Yes, we have limitless amounts of love within the Pokemon World. I also know about your actions and what you're capable of. While I did save you from certain destruction, do not even THINK of harming my precious Pokemon." Arceus warned, his eyes glowed a menacing gold.

Chrysalis raised her hoof in a defensive manner, calming the princesses down along with the god who gave the warning. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Listen, I know what I did was--wrong. But I am not here to harm anypony or anyone. I am very grateful and happy that you took me and my changelings, Lord Arceus. Thank you." She thanked the Pokemon God. The rest of the world leaders such as Empress Grace, King Tavorok and Chief Thunderhooves. It was rather odd for the world leaders, or at least one of them to call him 'Lord'.

Celestia smiled and took a breath of relief, she then looked at the changeling queen. From what she heard, these Pokemon sound truly invincible, not to mention the God of Pokemon, himself. If anything bad happens, she is sure that they'll take care of the problem. Speaking of problems, she had remembered that Tirek had been a prisoner in Tartarus.

"U-Umm, L-Lord Arceus? What happened to Tirek?" Celestia asked.

Arceus looked at the Princess and smiled. "Do not worry, he didn't perish from the destruction of Equus. He is locked away in the Hell Bandlandsalong with all the other evil monsters from Tartarus. A Trio of Houndoom are keeping an close eye on them to make sure they do not try anything. Also, tell Fluttershy not to worry, there a plenty of squirrels and small birds, not to mention fish in the world of Pokemon. However, I am afraid that tigers, bears and other large animals are extinct." He finished with a hint of guilt in his voice. He knew full well that most of the Pokemon managed to kill the animals for food. All there was left was fish, small birds, insects, squirrels, chipmunks, cats, bats and frogs.

Celestia nodded, relieved that there are at least some animals that exist in this world. Poor Fluttershy would be heartbroken if there was only just Pokemon. She was happy that the mane six had decided to bring in their pets. She also knew that some of her guards had saved Philomena.

'I hope.' She prayed.

Arceus cleared his throat, now gaining the attention of everyone in the room, including the world leaders.

"Alright. The meeting has now come to a close and all of your questions had been answered. I want you all to go to your subjects and informed them of what is happening. Now listening carefully, once you're done explaining of what is happening you should see a silver door to your left. That will lead you to a grassy area known as the Field of Legends. My children, the Dux 6 you see behind me will be waiting for you and your subjects to take you to where you need to go. Remember, some of you and your subjects will be living in villages, cities, towns, etc. So not everyone will have a luxurious lifestyle. Are there any questions?" He asked.

None of the leaders of Equus had any further questions for the God. Arceus nodded to them and smiled. "Very well then, you're all dismissed."

The world leaders nodded and headed towards the door, Celestia however, stopped and turned to the Sword of Justice. The Pokémon noticed the Equestrian ruler was staring him. He could only guess that the princess wanted to speak with him, but about what? The sun monarch walked up to him and smiled a small smile.

"U-Um, Thank you, uh-Cobalion was it? Yes, thank you for sticking up for us against Mewtwo. I can understand his slight concern and hostility as I would do the same for my subjects. However, we are only here for peace and wish no harm." Celestia stated.

"Yes. While he blew off the handle like that, threaten you and the others. I can't blame him, at least entirely. He had his dark moments and watched some of his closest allies and friends get hurt from different species. He's only looking out for them and not wanting a repeat of what happened before. He's only just being cautious." Cobalion spoke.

Celestia knew how he felt, protecting her subjects from past experiences. Who can blame him? She smiled at the Sword of Justice and replied.

"I see... well, I do hope he opens up and see we are not a threatening species. Though I hope war doesn't break out between the inhabitants of Equus and the Pokémon world."

Cobalion nodded at this, he didn't want that either. However, they both knew that there was bound to be small conflicts between the species of Equus and the Pokemon, that's inevitable. Cobalion looked at the princess of the sun and gave a small smile.

"You know, I had never gotten your name." Cobalion stated.

"Celestia. Princess Celestia. Co-Ruler of Equestria. Or was." She trailed off, saddened at the fact that she lost her home. However, she was happy that her subjects will find homes to live in. Even though that would mean that she won't have a home herself.

The Sword of Justice leader noticed the sad look the princess had, of course she was thinking about her past home. He could offer her a place to stay. What would the rest of the Swords of Justice think?

"You should come down and visit, Lively Town. It is a bit fancy and not to mention there is a theater also. It also has a friendly atmosphere, along with other places. You should give it a try." He suggested with a smile.

Celestia thought about it. It would be nice to look around the area and maybe see what the town has to offer. Who knows, it'll may be like Canterlot was. She smiled and nodded, with a tint of blush adorn on her cheeks.

"Yes. I would like that." She replied.

Cobalion nodded back and told her that he should be leaving now. The Princess bids farewell, knowing she'll see him again. To Celestia, even though the two had just met, Cobalion is pretty handsome, more handsome than any pony she's ever known. The sun monarch turns to see her younger sister waiting for her by the door, with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face.

"So, are you done flirting?" teased the night princess.

Celestia blushed and turned away from her sister, she most certainly wasn't flirting with him.

"N-No. I was not! C'mon Luna, let us go and inform our subjects about what had Arceus said." She replied, quickly changing the subject and suppressing the reddening that was burning in her cheeks. The sun monarch quickly left the room, hoping that Luna won't see more of her face.

The princess of the night just shook her head and chuckled a bit.

'I may had been gone 1000 years sister; but I am not stupid' Luna thought.

The mane five, Spike and Discord watched Twilight and the other princesses walk out of the room and walk up to them with a smile on their faces. Twilight explained what had happened in there with her friends, from the living arrangements to Pokemon types and abilities.

"That. Is. AWESOME!!" Commented Rainbow Dash

"Wait? There are scary dragons?!" Fluttershy asked in fear.

"That's a lot of types." Applejack commented.

"Ooo. I hope they like parties!" Pinkie hoped.

"I also hoped to find some new ideas for dresses. I already lost my boutique and I hope to start all over." Rarity added.

Twilight just chuckles at the questions and nods to all of them. She then turns to Fluttershy and tells them of all the animals that are inhabited in the Pokemon World. This made Fluttershy all the happy about that. Though it saddens her that most of the animals from the everfree are gone, but at least she managed to save the ones from her cottage and now there are some animals in the Pokemon World, as well.

Celestia begins her speech with her fellow ponies, she informed them of Pokémon, what they are, where are they going to live and what is going on. Some begin to look uneasy about the idea, while others were overjoyed not only, living in a new place; but seeing other Pokémon. She smiled and reassured them that everything would be alright, at least she hoped. But she couldn't lie about it either, she was a bit eager to meet other Pokémon too, as she was even more eager to see a certain Sword of Justice again. She looked to her right and noticed most of the other world leaders and their subjects were gone and out meeting with the Dux 6. She looked over her ponies and smiled at them.

"Is everypony ready to go?" She asked her subjects.

"YEAH!!!"They announced with joy in their voices with the ponies cheering about. They all grabbed their belongings and got ready to live out their new lives. Celestia could only chuckle and allowed Luna and Cadence to lead them to the doors.

"Yes. So am I. Though, I hope this will be a very good thing" She said to herself as she followed them all.

Chapter 2: Serene Village(Edited)

View Online

Celestia and the rest of her subjects, along with the rest of the world leaders stood outside of the Hall of Legends. There they notice the Dux 6 standing next to each with portals behind them. Celestia also noticed in the portal, she could make fields and some dirt roads here and there. Is this where they'll be living at? a dirt road?. Twelve portals and ten different species, How will they divide this to make these living arrangements fair, or even? She waited in silence, ready for the Pokémon to give out the living arrangements of what species go where. She just hope it's beneficial for them all, especially for her ponies. Twilight on the other hand was getting worried. Not because of where she'll live, but she hasn't seen her Brother and her parents since the Tirek incident. She prayed they didn't suffer the same fate Equus did, she begins to look around and noticed her brother, Shining Armor is currently chatting with some of the Crystal Empire royal guards. She smiled and ran up to him, giving him a giant big hug from the side.

"BBBFF! YOU'RE OKAY!!" Exclaimed Twilight, which startled the Prince of the Crystal Empire, along with the nearby ponies around them.

Shining Armor turned around to see his little sister hugging him from behind. It warmed his heart to know that his little sister didn't get caught in that explosion. Though, he knew his sister and wife would be safe, but it still worried him. He couldn't help but to worry, it's in his nature to care and love. He smiled and hugged her back, nuzzling her cheek affectionately. He looked around her to see if she was hurt, but thankfully, found no injuries. He sighed in relief and pat her head with a smile.

"Hey Twily, Ya scared me half to death. I knew deep down you were safe, but I still couldn't help but be worried about you sometimes." Said Shining Armor with a relieved chuckled.

Twilight sheepishly rubbed the back of head in embarrassment and blushed. It can be a bit embarrassing when your brother acts like this, just like how he cried during her coronation. But, just like any other older siblings, he was proud of her and was happy for her. She smiled at her brother.

"I know, I know. But I am a big mare now. I do appreciate you looking out for me though. What about Mom and Dad? Are they okay?" She asked.

Shining pointed to the now approaching Nightlight and Twilight Velvet with happy and relieved expressions on their faces. Twilight watched as her parents rushed towards and gave the pony princess a loving embrace.

"Twilight, Thank Celestia!" Her mother called and grabbed her in a full bear-like hug. Twilight felt like her life was squeezing right out of her body. Velvet swung her around chanting 'Thank Celestia'. Feeling like her bones were going to turn to dust, Twilight wheezed and try to pry her mother off, but to no avail. It took Shining, Nightlight, Spike and eventually Cadence to pry the mare of the Princess of Friendship. She comically fell on the ground and begin to catch her breath. She lazily looks at her mother, who had an embarrassing smile on her face. She couldn't help but chuckle at this.

"Twilight, You okay?" Asked Spike as he helped her out. The baby dragon was really trying his hardest to stifle his laughter.

"Yes, Spike. I'm fine. Just mom here showing how much she loves me." She replied with a roll of her eyes but smiled. Velvet chuckled and nuzzled her, along with her husband, Nightlight who was nuzzling her other cheek. She sighed and smiled at her daughter.

"Well, when your daughter is a princess who goes on dangerous adventures from time to time, can you really blame your mother?" She asked. Twilight shook her head in response and smiled, hugging them both. She was happy that her whole family is safe and sound, however, her thoughts were interrupted by the clearing of throats from the Dux 6. The inhabitants of Equus, cease their chattering and gazed upon the 6 legendary Pokémon that is going to decide where they will be staying. Mewtwo, surprisingly; was the first to speak up. He floated towards the crowd and looked at them all.

"Minotaur will come with me. You will be starting your new lives in a town called Post Town of the Life Continent. I rule over that town, along with a few others. If I give you an order, you follow it. No backstabbing, No talk back and no fights among my nation or subjects. If you manage to follow these rules, I can see all of us getting along. Also... I.... I want to apologize for scaring you all back there." He muttered the last part, though they had heard him loud and clear. He still will be cautious around them and keep an eye on them, for now. Silver Horn, the leader of the Minotaur Kingdom stepped up and looked at psychic Pokémon in the eye. To say he wasn't afraid was an understatement. His nostrils flared as he growled at the psychic Pokemon. Some of the Dux Pokemon, looked tensed, preparing to restrain the Minotaur if things go south.

"Alright, Now listen up. I don't care if you're stronger than me. But no one will boss around my people! I will agree to live in your nation and I will also promise not to attack your subjects as long as they don't attack me or my people. BUT I WON'T LET YOU WALK ALL OVER US!!" He retorted with a roar to the Pokémon. To say the least, everybody has been completely shocked, especially the other dux Pokemon; rarely anyone stood against Mewtwo like that. The silence went all around the area, the tension was so thick you could psycho cut it in half. Mewtwo just stared at the Minotaur and gave him a small smirk.

"Alright, I will not. However, like I said before. If you try anything nefarious; I will eliminate you" Mewtwo warned, He ignored Silver Horn and turned his attention to his subjects.

"In the Life Continent. There are a few places you can start your life in. Life Town is the place that I reside in, along with my father Arceus who lives in a castle. It is a peaceful town that is north of Prism City. There are many other places to visit and see in the Life Continent, but I will not go through the list. You will all have to see yourselves. Now then, follow me into the portal, and I will get you all settled up. Dragons of the Dragon Empire, follow me as well." He announced as he walked into the portal with the Silver Horn and the Minotaur following him behind. King Tavorok and his Dragon subjects followed the psychic cat as well. Now there were 8 species left to be settled into.

There was silence once again until Celebi broke it with a clearing of her throat. She nervously chuckled and rubbed the back of head looking at the crowd with a sheepish smile.

"Well, that was a thing----that happened. Heheheh. Alright, guess I'm up. Deer, Zebras and Changelings shall live in my nation, The Grass Continent. We are all about the forest and nature, so I figured you would all love to be around that kind of stuff. So everyone from the Changeling Kingdom, Zebra Tribe and the City of Thicket will be living in the Grass Continent's towns of Capim Town and Pokemon Paradise." Celebi announced.

King Aspen nodded at this and smiled. He was happy that he wouldn't be living with those annoying Minotaur. But then, he and his fellow deer would have to live with the changelings. He knew about the pesky bug-like creatures, how they feed off the love of the ones close to you. He narrowed his eyes at the changeling queen, upset that he had to put his subjects in danger by living with her. The Zebras however, were a peaceful race would not try to attack unless they were provoked. Celebi noticed the amnesty that was forming within the kingdom of deers towards the Changeling Queen. Chrysalis seemed to not notice or care.

"Do not worry King Aspen, You and subjects will be alright living with the Changelings. Like my father had mentioned earlier, if things go down south. He will see to it, however that isn't exclusive to just Changelings either. We are here giving you all a home, you are all bound to live with someone you dislike. Capim Town and Pokemon Paradise are beautiful places in the Grass Continent. Not to mention there a tons of sights and It has a lot of love to give that damn near endless, so don't worry about starvation. Grassy fields to run around, warm winds and a beautiful sky. Might even go there myself for a vacation." She explained as she smiled at the last part. Dreaming of running through the fields and enjoying the weather with a certain Pokemon.

Chrysalis smirked at this, a place that gives out endless love. Now she doesn't have to worry about feeding her subjects or worry about them starving, she looked around and noticed most of them had a look of relief. She rolled her eyes and scoffed, at least she won't be attacking nopony anymore. Plus, with free homes and endless love energy, she is greatly satisfied.

"Thank you Celebi for this wonder hospitality." Chrysalis thanked.

The Zebra empress also thanked the Guardian of the Forest as well.

"Indeed, this is most generous of you" King Aspen added.

Celebi smiled and headed towards to the portal behind her, with the Changelings, Zebras, Deers and their respective leaders following her. Latios, the Dux of the Air Continent took the Griffons of Griffonstone, Ponies from the Rainbow Falls and Cloudsdale into the portal. He explained to them that the places the two species can reside in are Baram Town and Shaymin Village . Rainbow Dash sighed in relief, knowing that she won't be separated from her friends.

'There's no way in hell I'm leaving my friends.' Rainbow declared in her mind.

Darkrai looked at the slowly decreasing crowd and now only stood Buffalo, Yaks, Ponies and Diamond Dogs. He decided to choose the ponies and buffalo to start their new lives in the Sand Continent

"Citizens of the Buffalo Tribe and ponies who lived in Dodge Junction, Appleloosa, The Rock Farm, Our Town, Tenochtitlan Basin, and Smokey Mountains. You will be living in three places in Sand Continent. Sahra Town . The other two places are Pokemon Village and Pokemon Square . The Sand Continent is a great, hardworking and adventurous nation. It also has tons of gemstones and a museum. I am sure you and your families will enjoy this. Now then, come along." Darkrai said. Like before, said inhabitants followed Darkrai into the portal, getting ready to start their new lives.

Pinkie was currently saying her goodbyes to her sisters and her parents.

"You bett'r cometh and visiteth us, Pinkamena." Cloudy Quartz slightly demanded.

Pinkie giggled and hugged both her Mother and Father. "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I'll be sure to visit you and my sisters, soon." She replied, reassuringly.

Maud nodded towards her little sister, along with her parents and walked off heading towards the portal. Pinkie noticed that Limestone is carrying around the large boulder. She wasn't surprised by this, Limestone was and always will be super protective towards that boulder.

Twilight wondered when it'll be their turn, she also wondered if said place that she and her friends will either be too cold or too hot. Will it be a friendly environment? Is there a library? So many questions ran through her mind. Her thoughts were interrupted by an orange hoof on her shoulder, she looked to see her side to see Applejack with a concern look on her face.

"Ya alright there, Sugarcube?" Asked the farm mare.

"Yes. Just a little nervous" Twilight replied with a nervous smile. Suddenly, out of nowhere; Pinkie popped into view between them and begin to speak.

"Well, duh you're nervous! I mean this is a whole new world we will live in! Hey! I just said the title of the story! Heheheh! Anyways! You're super nervacited about meeting new Pokémon and scared of confrontation! But don't worry, it'll be like the first time you came to Ponyville all those years ago. But this time, your friends will be with you; Me, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, Rainbow Dash and even Discord!" She said all in one breath. Twilight decided to ignore the whole 'title of the story' thing she said and nodded at what Pinkie said afterwards. She's right, she isn't alone in this; It will be like going to Ponyville all over again and this time; she has her friends. She put on a determined face, preparing for her and her friends living arrangements.

Cobalion cleared his throat to gain the attention of the rest of the civilians of Equus and begun his speech to wrap things up. They were going really slow.

"Alright I'll make this quick and simple. Ponies from Ponyville, Canterlot, Manehatten, Fillydelpha, Baltimare and Las Pegasus will be coming with me of the Water Continent. Diamond Dogs, Ponies from the Crystal Empire and Yaks from Yakyakistan will go with Princess Diancie of the Mist Continent. The ponies from Ponyville will be living in Serene Village.. It is a great place and a little bigger than Ponyville. The environment is also lovely. The ponies from Manehatten, Fillydelpha, Baltimare and Las Pegasus will be living Treasure City . It used to be a small town 80 years ago, however, it has changed into a bustling city where all types of things happen. From famous actors appearing in your usual business offices. Treasure City had gotten its name due to the amount of money and luck you can find there and not to mention, the city just looks so beautiful. It's very similar to Manehatten, hell, I'll say it's even bigger than Manehatten." Cobalion proudly stated.

This dazzled Rarity, she'll have to visit this Treasure City someday and see what it has to offer.

"Lastly, Ponies of Canterlot will live in Lively Town. Like I had said to a certain Princess, Lively Town is much like Canterlot. The only thing that is different is there are less nobles there. However, it is a place to be. I heard of Ponyville, Canterlot and Manehatten from time to time from father, I understand that you lost your home and everything you had worked for. But if you need anything, you more than welcome to contact me or the other Swords of Justice. Since you all will be living in my region; The Water Continent. I will treat you all the same amount of respect and love as I do to my other subjects. You ponies, despite appearances are no different than that. Alright; Princess Diancie take it from here. They're all yours now."

She nodded and begins her speech and where will the Diamond Dogs will be living, which he knew it was going to be Noe Town and Snowy Village. The village was a cabin like town that he knew that the Yaks would just love.

The ponies begin to pick up their belongings and followed the leader of the Swords of Justice into the portal. It was dark at first but then suddenly they found themselves on a dirt road with three paths. One path to the left and the other to the right, while one is straight up ahead. However, that wasn't the only thing that had noticed. Three more portals are blocking each path, most of the ponies assumed these portals must lead them to their destinations.

"Straight down is Serene Village, On the left is Lively Town and the right leads to Treasure City." Cobalion directed. "Now we must wait for Virizion and Terrakion to show up and we can finally get started."

"No need to wait Cobalion, we're here, " said a feminine voice. The ponies turned to see a large green deer-like creature, followed by a bulky looking creature with large horns. He gave the ponies a friendly smile and nod, while Virizion simply gave them a wave.

"Everyone, These are my teammates and friends. Virizion and Terrakion" Cobalion introduced.

Celestia looked at Virizion with a hint of what could be described as jealously, but mostly curiosity. She walked up to the female Sword of Justice and introduced herself.

'I wonder what's her real relationship with Cobalion?' wondered Celestia.

"Hello there, I am Princess Celestia and this is my Sister, Luna" She introduced as she tilt her head to her little sister. Virizion smiled at the two princesses and introduced herself. "As you already know, I am Virizion and this is Terrakion'

"Howdy!" Terrakion said with joy. "It's nice to meet cha!"

"Charmed." Luna replied with a smile.

Twilight and her friends decided to introduce themselves as well, along with Discord and Spike. After introductions were over, Cobalion cleared his throat to gain their attention. "Ahem, If you lived in Canterlot, come with me. If you lived in Manehatten, Fillydelphia, Baltimare and Las Pegasus follow Terrakion. Finally, If you lived in Ponyville; follow Virizion. There are currently so much of you, if we bring you all into one location; it'll become way too crowded. So we need to divide you all, so you know what to do. So some of you will be living in Lively Town, Treasure City and Serene Village. Is that alright Terrakion? Virizion?" Asked Cobalion

"Sure thing! You can count on me" Replied Terrakion

"Of course, I will make sure they are given nice cozy homes" She added with a kind smile.

"Right, We better get going now." Cobalion replied as he turned to the portal towards the left, the ponies who lived in Canterlot are currently following him. Ready to finally began their new lives.

Twilight, saw Celestia, Luna, her Mother and Father and many other ponies go with the leader of the Swords of Justice. She waved them off and hugged her Mother and Father, promising them that she'll try to visit more often. The parents nodded and walked through the portal along with everypony else.

She took one last look of Cobalion's group and waved them off. They begin to leave for their adventure to Lively Town. She turned to Terrakion who had already begun to leave with his group. She only recognized a few ponies in his group; Photo Finish, who she remembers from the whole Fluttershy famous fiasco. Also Sapphire Shores; the pony of pop; one of Rarity's idols. She then turned to Virizion who is currently analyzing the crowd. After looking at the crowd, she smiled and nodded to herself; happy with the results.

"Okay, now there are now up to 1000-2000 ponies right now, Not as much as it was originally. However, we can fit all you into nice homes. Alright everyone, follow me" Virizion instructed them as she leads them forwards. After 15 minutes of walking and chatting, they stopped to find themselves in front of the opening to Serene Village with a sign saying 'Welcome to Serene Village'. The village looked pretty similar to Ponyville, except for the houses. The roofs were not made out of hay and they looked entirely bigger.

"Welcome to Serene Village, Everypony." Virizion introduced.

'Look at all those Pokémon, I can't wait to see what's it really like in there' Thought Twilight.

"Welcome to Serene Village, Follow me, and I shall give you the tour." She leads the ponies through and most of the Pokémon inhabit there stopped and stared, some shrugged and went back to do their daily activities and others just simply ignored them as if it was an everyday occurrence. Virizion began the tour and started to point various buildings and shops.

"Okay, there's the homes you'll be staying in once I get everything situated. I will admit that you'll may have to share some the homes with other Pokemon." Virizion said as the ponies looked at the homes. The ponies were a bit nervous about that, living with a stranger kind of rubbed them the wrong way. However, if it will prevent them from sleeping in the cold, they'll go for it.

"There's the City Hall of course, And then there's the Pokémon Center. That's where you'll need to go if you have a medical emergency. " Virizion informed. This gained a certain nurse's attention. The tour continued as they are seen which is much like Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie smiled at this as she begins planning to get a job there. The place was Spinda Cafe . It's much like Sugarcube Corner, only with Pokemon--for now.

"That's the Pokemon Mart. That's where you buy the berries, foods and other things. Basically shopping" Virizion said next. The ponies gained a confused look, thinking that the berries were the only thing they will have to eat around here. Virizion noticed their confusion and begin to explain that there are other foods in town, such as School Forest. It was also called the 'Apple Forest.' since the amount of apples that appear in the forest. This gained the attention of the apple family, especially a certain orange apple mare.

'Apple Woods?! Imma have to check that out soon.' Thought Applejack.

Virizion had showed them the Pokemon School, which was literally right next to the School Forest. This made the cutie mark crusaders groaned at the thought of school, since they'll most likely will have to go back., Pelipper Post Office, Kecleon Shop, Magnezone Police Station, Beauty Salon, Slowbro Ramen Stand, Serene Village Pokemon Hospital, Hawlucha Dojo, Pokemon Train Station, Gurdurr Carpentry and Hardware, and finally the Serene Village Pokemon Library. That had gained Twilight's attention the most, she would have to visit there and read anything she would need to know about this world and Pokémon. She was so excited, she could barely contain herself, however her thoughts were interrupted when she noticed she and the crowd of ponies had stopped at a stage with a stand and microphone.

"Before any ask, There are many other places in Serene Village. So don't worry. Alright everyone. I want you to wait here while I go get the mayor; We are going to have ourselves a town meeting" She smiled as the Sword of Justice walked towards a building, ready to speak to an old friend.

Chapter 3: Exploration(Edited)

The ponies waited outside for Virizion to go grab the mayor. Most of the ponies were thinking about what the mayor could possibly be like. What if he or she is a nice mayor or a cruel one. What would he or she looked like comparing to most of the Pokemon they have seen today. Their thoughts came to a halt when Virizion came to the stand, followed by a Slowking. The Slowking walked behind the Sword of Justice with his arms behind his back. He took a look at the crowd of ponies who stared at him with big adorable round eyes. He noticed some of them had horns or wings, and one of them had both. He even saw what appeared to be a baby purple dragon and a creature with a mismatch of different animal parts.

'Strange yet adorable creatures.' The Slowking thought.

"Zephyr!" The Slowking called out. An Xatu suddenly appeared via teleportation, startling most of the ponies present. He looked at them and then turned to the Slowking and gave him a nod of acknowledgment.

"Yes Sir? May I assist you?"

"Bring in all of the town's folks. We are going to have ourselves a meeting, " He commanded. Zephyr nodded at this and disappeared with teleportation once again. About 10 minutes later, Pokemon from all over town begin to come around and join the crowd of ponies. Some of the ponies were hesitant and scared, others smiled and begin to have friendly chats with the Pokemon. The Slowking smiled at this and begin to clear his throat to gain of the attention of the chattering crowd.

"Attention everyone. Attention everyone. For those who don't know who I am, which is the ponies of course. My name is Lancelot, I am the mayor of this town and make sure things are kept up and running. Virizion had told me about what had happened to your home planet, and for that I am terribly sorry. But I can assure you that this town will feel home soon. Now my fellow Pokemon, what creatures you see before you are ponies. I don't know much about them, but they will be living among us. They will soon be your friend, family member and possibly even future lover." He chuckled at the last part, seeing a few ponies and Pokemon is blushing at the thought. Some, however, were grumbling at the thought of an interspecies relationship, Just the mere thought of interracial relationships made them want to barf. He shook his head in shame of that.

'They had only been here for an hour and twenty minutes and there is already racism growing?!' He thought with surprised. He had hoped it wouldn't become a big problem later on. He got back to his speech.

"I expect you Pokemon will treat the ponies with utmost respect and love. As you would do with any other fellow Pokemon. They're not just creatures from another planet. They are our friends and family, that's it." He told them with a hint of warning directing at some of the Pokemon who didn't like the idea of ponies and Pokemon living together. Some of them looked pissed, while most of them looked even more eager to make friends with them. He scanned the crowd once again and nod to himself.

"Alright, now I am aware that there was a mayor in their town? Ponyville was it?" He whispered to Virizion

"Yes." She replied.

He nodded at that. He'll have to speak with the mayor later about this. He went back to his speech once again.

"Right. I believe you all have some questions about the ponies? Correct? Well, that is why I decide to let one of them stand up here and answer them for you all." He said.

The ponies begin to look at each other, wondering who should go up there. Their questions had been answered when a certain lavender princess smiled and climbed up the stand to look at the crowd. It was hard to believe that this is going to be her new home. She hoped to learn a lot from the place and the inhabitants in it. She sighed and decided to introduce herself to the crowd.

"For those who don't know me. I am Twilight Sparkle; and I am a princess." She introduced. The Pokemon gasped in shocked, even Virizion and Lancelot.

"You're a princess?!" Asked a Kangaskhan.

Twilight blushed and nodded "Yup, I am a princess. In my world. There are four princesses in total. Princess Celestia who raises the sun. Princess Luna, who rises the moon. Princess Cadence, my sister in law is the Princess of Love and me? Well, I haven't figured out what kind of Princess I am." She said sadly. Her friends and even Discord felt her pain, Virizion noticed this and walked up to comfort her.

"I am sure you will know what kind of princess you are." She smiled.

"But how?... I did everything as a princess. I even-" Twilight was cut off by Virizion hoof to her muzzle. She looked at her hoof and then back at the Pokemon. Virizion gave the pony a warm smile and looked at the crowd.

"Twilight? What do you see here?" She asked.

Twilight scanned the crowd of ponies and Pokemon for an answer. She kept looking, trying to figure out what she was suppose to be seeing. Sighing to herself, she gave the Pokemon a simple answer.

"Well, I see ponies, Pokemon, baby dragon and Spirit of Chaos."

Virizion chuckled at her answer like a mother would when her child would say something obvious. She shook her head no and gave the crowd a small smile.

"Yes. There are Pokemon, ponies, dragon and Spirit of Chaos. But that's not what I meant. Twilight, I don't know much about you; but you are loosing sight of what's truly important. I am sure that you didn't get to be a princess at your own. But now that you have become a princess, you are starting to lose sight of what's important, become self-centered. And one day, you'll end up alone." Virizion warned.

Her eyes widen in pure shock when she heard this. She was slowly becoming distant and alone? It was true that she had been acting rather independent and prideful that she almost sent her friends into danger. She didn't want to become corrupt with pride and power, like Sombra. It terrified her. Not all humans were bad. This she knew, and she knew that Virizion knows as well. But she has heard of the unnecessary wars and bloodshed that has happened in human history. How self-centered and cruel they can be, leaving their friends in the dark. That scared her even more; loosing her friends for good was a big nightmare for her. Discord proved that.

"I know you want to feel special. Possibly wanting to do something like those other three princesses you had mentioned. Twilight, but my friend; never forget this. Simply being a princess will not make everyone accept you, everyone's acceptance is what gets you there. Never forget your friends." Virizion lectured.

Her friends walked up to the stage and hugged her. She then looked at her friends and smiled, they had made her into a princess. She wouldn't have gotten this far because of them. Now, she knew what Virizion meant. Friendship is more important than some silly title of power and now she knows what kind of princess she is.

"Virizion. I know what kind of princess I am. The princess of friendship. And it is my duty to spread friendship throughout the Water Continent and the Pokemon world." She declared. The ponies and Pokemon cheered in joy when they heard, Virizion and Lancelot just simply smiled and nodded. Rainbow Dash smirked at the crowd and begin to speak.

"Now I am sure you want some questions right? Well, go right ahead and ask away." She said.

"Yeah. Why do some of you have horns or wings and the princess has both?" Asked a Spinda.

Rarity decided to take over this question and answered them, "Well, you see there are three types of ponies in Equestria. Earth ponies who have a connection to the land. Pegasi is the ponies with wings, they help with the weather and clear the skies."

"Yeah! Maybe someday I could clear the skies for ya if ya like" Rainbow Dash said to the crowd. They smiled and wanted to know more, which was pretty obvious to the mane 6.

"And last but not least there is unicorns who perform magic." Rarity said as she levitated the microphone as a demonstration which shocked most of the psychic type Pokemon in the crowd. Lancelot walked up to examine the microphone that was now surrounded in blue magical aura. He then looked at the source of where the magic was coming from.

"I see. So only unicorns and Twilight can perform magic? It's quite similar to the psychic types like myself." He analyzed.

Rarity smiled and then shook her head "Well darling, You're half right. The three princesses Twilight had previously mention can use magic. That evil brute, Tirek can use magic as well. And finally, Discord our... uh... friend can use magic with a snap of a talon. He may look evil, but he is a friend."

Discord smiled warmly and looked at the crowd. "Yes, I am 100% reformed. I used to be a 'villain' a long time ago, causing chaos and disharmony for my own amusement." This somewhat scared not only the Pokemon, but the ponies as well. Seeing this, the Spirit of Chaos quickly tried to calm their nerves.

"Now hold on everyone, I am no longer evil. I am a prankster and kind of troll. So you will expect some chocolate rain and cotton candy clouds from time to time" Discord said as he gave them a friendly grin. The mane six glared at him for suggesting that and was about to protest until the Pokemon started to cheer.

"Huh?" The girls said in unison. Obviously confused.

"You can create chocolate rain?" A Pancham said

"And cotton candy clouds too?!" Added a Shelmet

Discord chuckled and produce a small cotton candy cloud that rained chocolate milk. He levitates it towards the Pancham and Shelmet. Wasting no time, the two Pokemon begin to munch on the delicious treat. Pinkie, however, was jealous and gave Discord a wanting look. He gave her a smile and a wink, telling her that he will make her one later. Pokemon, then began to question more about the ponies. Subjects like, cutie marks, what was Equestria like, the princesses and many other topics. After what seems to be a long explanation, the town meeting is coming to an end and Lancelot decided to come up and wrap things up.

"Can the mayor of Ponyville please come up to the stage" He called out. A mare with a tan coat, silver mane and tail trotted up to the stand and smiled at them and then at the mayor.

"I know you lost your job by default. From the explosion of your home planet. I have decided; would you like to be mayor with me?" He asked as he offered her his claw.

Mayor Mare was shocked about this. Two mayors working in one town seemed fun, but how were they going to do that. She thought hard about this and looked at the ponies. The population is big and she does need a job now, she looked back at the Slowking who was giving her a kind smile. She grabbed his claw and shook it.

"Mr. Lancelot, You got yourself a new partner." She smiled.

Lancelot nodded and looked at the crowd "Do you hear that citizens? Now there are two mayors in town. This is because we need to keep up with the now growing population. It will be a lot of work." He said.

"But we can assure you that we will get our jobs done. Running this alone is no easy task; especially since they're different species." Mayor Mare finishes. Lancelot nodded at this and cleared his throat.

"Right. Now then. Town meeting is now officially over. Everypony. I want you all to go to the city hall and register for a certificate of being an official citizen of Serene Village. Next, you will receive P3000 poke. That's our currency in the Pokemon world. This should be enough to buy furniture, food and other things you would want for your homes. Next, you will get a map of the village, then a gold bar which is the equivalent of P12, 000. Sell that and store your money into the bank. Or simply keep it to gain something even more, it is your choice. Last you will get the keys to your houses, a Pokebag so you can store in some of your belongings in case you want to travel or visit somewhere and three Oran berries. The berries are just treats for you all and a welcome to Serene Village." He finished. Before the ponies could leave to the city hall, Lancelot halts them since he forgot one last thing.

"Oh! I almost forgot! For those who had lost their businesses due to the explosion. Stay in the city hall after you are done. You can trade up your gold bars to start your business right here in Serene Village. Also, get ready for a festival tonight. To honor and welcome the ponies of our town!"

Everyone cheered at that and soon, Lancelot's eyes saw nothing but pink. He looked up to see a pink pony with a pink mane. He knew she is one of Twilight's friends. He looked at her and can tell she is very exciting, probably about the festival that will be happening tonight. He used his psychic powers to levitate the party pony off of him and looked at her.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"YesYesYesYesYesYesYouCan!MynameisPinkiePieandIampartyplannerfromponyville.AtleastIwasapartyplannerIdunnoifIamornotOh!waitIamanywaysI-" Pinkie's rant was cut off by Lancelot placing his claw on the mare's muzzle.

"Can you please speak in clear sentences. I barely understood a word you said." Lancelot asked with a hint of annoyance.

"Oh! Sorry. I was saying, can I plan the party! PLEASE!!!" Pinkie asked. Lancelot thought about it, it would be nice to have some help with festival and she said she was a party planner.

"Sure thing Pinkie. But after I get everyone situated Ok? Alright everyone! Follow me to the city hall and I will help all of you out." Lancelot announced. The ponies cheered and followed the Slowking into the building.

3 Hours Later

It's been 3 hours since the meeting and everypony is now situated in their new homes. Applejack walked through the town with her seven friends and noticed a few things. She sees ponies starting their own business after the Gurdurr carpentry build it up for them. She also noticed Pokemon and ponies are talking and laughing together. She even see some of them living together, which kind of surprised her. She stopped at the middle of the town and turned to her friends.

"It's crazy huh? We defeat Tirek. That darn tree goes haywire and our world explodes. Then we get saved by this godlike creature and start to live in this world we don't know about. Ah'm not saying Ah'm not grateful. Trust me, Ah'm more the grateful. It's just so much happened." Applejack said.

"Yeah. I know what you mean. Now my chances of being a wonderbolt are even more slim." Rainbow Dash said with disappointment.

Fluttershy comforted her "Hey now, don't say that Rainbow. I am sure you'll be at wonderbolt." Rainbow just sighed and flapped up looking down at her friends with a forced smile. Sure, she was upset that her chances of her reaching her dreams were slim, but she wasn't going to let that bring her down.

"Well girls, I gotta go find me a job. Plus, gotta prepare for the festival. See you all soon" With that Rainbow Dash flew off to find herself a job. Her and Scootaloo manage to get a place together along with their pet, Tank. She was going to invite Fluttershy, but she wanted to live by herself along with her animal friends. She managed to find a house that was on top of a hill in the village. Rarity now has a place with her mom, dad and little sister. Applejack didn't want a normal house and wanted to live on the farm like in Sweet Apple Acres. So she and her family were still looking at the moment. As for Twilight, She wasn't looking for a home right now. Already loosing the tree home back in her world, no house felt like home to her.

"Well, Ah best go find that Apple Forest place. I can't wait to grab a bite of a delicious apple. See y'all later." Applejack said as she trotted off to the forest. Twilight nodded to her and decided to go to the library to learn more about Pokemon. The others went their separate ways to either get jobs or see the town.

Applejack walked through the schoolyard, viewing the map and hoped she was going the right way. She looked up and noticed the forest up ahead. She smiled and put away her map, happy to see some apples again.

"Yeehaw! Time for some apple buckin'!" Applejack cheered as she ran into the forest. Not aware of the potential dangers that lurk within. She looked around, scanning the apples. Some apples looked bigger than the average apple and others looked huge, bigger than her head. She panted like a dog when she gazed at the humongous apples.

"It's like ah died and went to Valhalla."

Pinkie walked into Spinda's cafe to get herself a job in bakery. She looked around the cafe saw Pokemon and ponies sitting together. She smiled at that, knowing everyone is friends with each other. She walked up to the counter and sat on the stool with a huge grin on her face. She waited for the bartender to come up to her. There she saw him, walking up to her and smiling.

"Hiya, Welcome to Spinda's Cafe! How can I help you?" He greeted with a smile.

"Oh, right! I heard about this place from many Pokemon when I was moving in. So I decided to check it out. I really love this and wanted to know if it'll be alright if I can be a baker here. I can cook up some good and delicious cupcakes or even cake! Have you tried cake before? It's really good and delicious. I had cake before and let me tell you, it's out of this world. Well, it was out of my world, but you know what I mean. " She rambled on.

The Spinda chuckled and looked at the party pony "Have you ever tried a PokePuff? It's absolutely delicious."

"No. Is it like cake or-"Her sentence was interrupted by the Spinda shoving the tasty treat in her mouth. She begins to chew the delicious confection in her mouth. It tasted way better than cake or even cupcakes. It was the sweetest little cake she had ever tasted.

"THIS?! THIS is a POKEPUFF?! Who made this?!" She shouted slight demanded, gaining some attention from the other Pokemon and ponies who are in the cafe. The Spinda chuckled once again and nodded. He already liked this pony and is definitely his favorite. He also knew the maker of the pokepuffs would like her too.

"Yes. That is a pokepuff! It was created by old friend of mine. I'll call him right now. Valentine! Come on out! Somebody wants to meet you." Spinda called out. A Sylveon walks out of the kitchen and goes up to the counter. He smiles at the pink pony and gives her a wink.

"The names, Valentine. I'm Sylveon and the creator of pokepuffs. I see you want to work here? Hmm. I guess we could use a waitress and apprentice baker." He smiled. "But only because I like your spirit and I like you."

"REALLY?!" She shouted once again, jumping over the counter and hugging the two Pokemon in a big hug. "Oh, thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you!"

The Spinda smiled and patted the pink pony on the back. "Hey, no problem. Only for our new friends and family. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Mr. Alonsa."

"Mr. Alushi huh? I am Pinkie Pie!" She introduced. Valentine laughed at the error, which made the Spinda's eye twitch a bit.

"I know who you are Pinkie. I saw what happened after the Mayor said festival." Mr. Alonsa chuckling at the memory. He had to admit it was pretty random.

"Oh, you saw that? Heh heh. OH NO! I forgot! I gotta planned that party! See you later Mr. Alooka!" Pinkie said as she zoomed out of the cafe. Mr. Alonsa just shook his head and smiled at the exit the Pinkie zoomed out of.

"Heh heh. That pony is something else."

"Yeah. I have a feeling she's going to make this spot even more incredible. Mr. Alooka" He teased.

The Spinda just groaned and told him to get back to work.

Chapter 4: Meeting the Locals(Edited)

View Online

Twilight walked through the dirt path from Serene Village with Spike riding on her back. She levitated the town map to her face, trying to find the town's library. She scanned the map, searching an image of a library and the label under it. She smiled once she found what she was looking for and started to head towards her destination.

"Uh, Twilight? Where are we going?" Asked Spike.

"We're going to the Serene Village Pokemon Library, Spike." She replied as she levitated her town map into her new bag that she received from the mayor.

Spike groaned at this. Of course they were going to the library. When it came to new information of a place or subject, she cannot turn it away and must learn everything about it. Spike looked at the excited pony and sighed at this, he knew he would be in there for hours. Something, the baby dragon wasn't looking forward to. He just wanted to explore the town and see what it has to offer.

"I should of known you would go there. Can't we just explore the town first?" Spike begged with hope. The lavender princess rolled her eyes and kept walking towards her destination.

"But Spike, Don't you want to learn about their culture, what they do? Or even the types they had mentioned?!" Twilight asked with pleading eyes. Spike just groaned at this. Twilight noticed this and sighed, she couldn't keep him in there for hours. She also noticed that he looked very annoyed at the idea.

"Tell you what Spike, since you have been a very good dragon lately. I'll let you go see the town, while I go study more about Pokemon?" She decided.

"Really?! You mean it?!" Asked Spike, pretty excited to see this place for himself.

Twilight giggled and nodded, and just like that; Spike hopped off of Twilight's back and sprinted off to whatever destination Spike was headed. Twilight giggled and shook her head, the dragon never ceased to amaze her. She turned her head and noticed that she arrived at the library. It was a tall yellowish orange building with a red roof. Twilight entered the library and noticed it was books everywhere. The interior was also a blue color and the books were neatly shelved in alphabetical order. She looked at the librarian who was an Metang. The Metang smiled and walked up to the princess of friendship.

"Hello, welcome to the Pokemon Library."

Applejack trotted through the apple forest, admiring the delicious apples that hung from the tree. She smiled and walked up to one of them, inspecting it. She took a sniff and poked it a few times to see if is some of kind of apple Pokemon. Satisfied with her results, she took a bite and her eyes immediately went wide eyed. The taste of the apple was much sweeter than the apples from Sweet Apple Acres, but she'll never admit that. Granny Smith would bop her one good just for uttering those words right out of her mouth.

"Woo Wee! These apples are sure mighty delicious!" Applejack commented. She looked around and noticed some different apples. Some apple was about as big as her head and the other apples were about the size as her brother, Big Macintosh. Applejack's eyes widen even more about the size of the apples. She shook her head and continued walking, deciding to go back to the big apples later.

"Wow. Them apples are HUGE!! Now, all ah need is to find me a perfect tree to buck me some apples." She grinned as she begins her search. Little did she know she was being watched. Three Beedrill were in the trees, glaring at the intruder. The three Beedrill nodded to each other and headed towards the orange mare, ready to give her a lesson.

The apple mare smiled and kept walking down the pathway in the forest. She had a distinct feeling she was being followed. Little did she know, her suspicions were correct. Suddenly, the gang of Beedrill blocked the apple farmer's path. Applejack looked at the three Pokemon in confusion and glared at them for a bit. Something didn't feel right with them and this whole situation, Applejack prepared herself for the worse.

"Well...You're an odd creature? What kind of Pokemon are you?" Asked the middle Beedrill which she assumed is the leader. He was green colored, while his lackeys were yellow. That confused the element of honesty.

'Why do they have different colors? That's weird. Must be ah Pokemon thing.' She thought.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, ya weird deformed Ponyta thing." The Beedrill insulted.

"Mah name is Applejack, and I am pony! Didn't y'all hear the news about us movin' in?" She asked with a hint of irritation in her voice. The Beedrill growled at this and then begin to smirk, the other Beedrill begin to circle around her like a Sharpedo ready to attack their prey.

"Well I'm Sting! And this is Needle and Toxic! And we're the Beedrill Stingers! We own this place and this is our turf! But see you are new here. I'll give you a headstart!" Sting grinned. Toxic and Needle giggled grimly with the lead Beedrill. Applejack began to chuckle and looked up to the shiny Pokemon gave him a grin.

"Better yet! I'll do this!" She said as she reared her hind legs and gave a powerful buck to Toxic who was right behind her. She heard a satisfying thud and a groaned of pain. Using this as her chance, she sprinted further down the dirt path of the forest.

"AFTER HER!!" Sting commanded as he and his lackeys chased after the running mare, after Toxic recovered from the blow of course.

Rainbow Dash walked through the town and sighed. She looked through job to job, but couldn't find one that said "her". Scootaloo had gone with her friends doing Celestia knows what. She sighed and shook her head, those three are probably causing some harmless trouble as she speak. However, it didn't cheer her up. The prismatic mare was still down that her chances of becoming a wonderbolt were pretty slim and it was all that tree's fault.

"Ugh! Stupid Tree! Blowing up my home like that! What the buck!" Rainbow cursed. She gazed at the ponies and Pokemon is enjoying each others company. It was crazy for her, they find the last key; which Discord had all along. They defeat Tirek and the world decided to blow up on them. This Arceus guy saved them all and brought them all into this world. Such a lot has happened lately, and it is not like she hated the place. She just misses her dreams---and her home.

"Ugh... What now?"

"You could always work in the union?" Suggested a disembodied voice. She looked around, searching for the source pf the voice.

"Over here" The voice called. She looked to her left and saw a shiny Gallade with an teal tattered scarf around his neck eating ramen at the Slowbro Ramen Stand. She walked up to the Pokemon and sat on one of the pink stools and looked at the Gallade while he ate his food.

"You talking to me?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

The Gallade finished his ramen and nodded. He cleaned his mouth with a napkin and looked at the pony "Yup. The names Gene. Gene of Team Raiders and I was thinking maybe you should start a rescue team in the Adventure Union." He suggested.

Rainbow Dash was confused at this, Adventure Union and Rescue Team. Just what in the world of Pokemon is he talking about?

"I'm Rainbow Dash. And rescue team? Union? What do you mean?" Asked the prismatic mare.

Gene chuckled and begin his explanation. "There are seven groups of rescuers and explorers in the Pokemon World. Some even hold some of the most illustrious Pokemon Rescue or Treasure Hunting teams in the whole world. Did you happened to see the town's statue, today?" He asked.

She thought back and distinctively remembered a statue in the middle of the town. It had some kind of weird creatures on it, one of those creatures resembled a dragon.

"Yeah, it looked cool. Who were those guys anyway?" She asked.

"They're known as Team A.C.T.. They're one of the most famous rescuers in Pokemon history. About 12 years ago, this village was under attack by the legendary Groudon. Luckily, Stein, Delta and Susanoo; Members of Team A.C.T. stop the threat and saved our village. The residents then made a statue to honor their bravery and heroism." Gene finished.

"What I'm trying to say is that in rescue missions you get to help Pokemon in need and become known. In exploration missions you find wonderful treasure and places that most don't know about."

She awed at the explanation of this. She could be just like Daring Do. Going on dangerous missions, retrieving mysterious artifacts and fighting strong Pokemon. The whole thing just sounded awesome.

"That. is. AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed.

Gene chuckled and shook his head and walked out of the ramen stand, not before paying for his meal. He sat his change onto the counter for the Slowbro to come pick it up. He smiled to the pony and walked down the dirt path up ahead.

"Well. I was gonna go home and meet up with my fiancee. But, I guess I could show you the Adventure Union and what they do. Trust me, You'll love the place." He grinned. The pony grinned as well and followed the Gallade to her desired destination.

"Next stop. The Adventure Union." Gene said.

Fluttershy was currently moving the new furniture around in her new home. The home she had found was on top of hill that loomed over the village. Fluttershy is introverted and prefered to be away, but not far away from the rest of the civilians. Plus the forest that was close to her house reminded her of the Everfree Forest. Fluttershy wasn't the only one who was moving her new stuff around. An Ursaring she had met in the village decided to help out. He reminded her of Harry, her bear friend. Only he can talk and is pretty sentient. And has a wife. Ok, so maybe not exactly like Harry. She smiled at the Ursaring and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

"Thank you for moving my things around for my new home, Mr. Oberon." She thanked.

Oberon chuckled and patted Fluttershy's head, to which she giggled.

"No problem at all, Fluttershy. I am happy to help. I heard what happened to your home planet and I felt really bad. So I decided to help out. My wife is also helping out other ponies too. I can assure you that, Serene Village is a great place to be. Not like that busy city, Treasure City. Those places are filled with crappy Pokemon." Oberon rambled on. Fluttershy giggled once again when she heard him saying about his son wanting to live there.

'Kids can be a hoofful, trust me. I know.' Fluttershy commented in her head. Remembering her time watching the cutie mark crusaders.

Applejack ran as fast as her hooves could carry her, but the Beedrill was gaining on her. She grunted and ran faster, but stopped at a dead end, which was a tree filled with golden apples. Applejack was amazed by the color and the look of the dazzling apples. She would have taken a bite of one if she wasn't being chased by those pesky Pokemon.

"Poison Sting!" Sting shouted out as he shot out a poison needle out of his mouth. Applejack barely had enough time to dodge the attack, unfortunately it hit her leg and she fell down with a thud. Suddenly, her hind leg started to become purple and felt numb.

"M-Mah leg?..Wh-What did ya do to me?!" Demanded the apple farmer with a glare. Fear a bit evident in her eyes.

The three Beedrill laughed at the pained element of honesty and hovered over her watching her groaning and fading in and out of consciousness.

"It's Poison Sting. It's an attack that has a 30% chance of poisoning any target." Sting informed with a sick chuckle.

"Hahaha! That's for hitting me, ya stupid Ponyta!" Toxic commented with a grin.

Applejack growled at the damn Beedrill who are now pointing their spear like stingers towards her. She winced in pain and closed her eyes waiting for the impact. There was no way she could defend herself now.

'Is this it for me?' She wondered. Just arriving at a new home and is already in danger by some unknown Pokemon.

"It's over pony! Ready Boys?! TRIPLE POISON JAB!!!" Sting shouted out as the gang of Beedrill charged towards the pained pony. She had her eyes closed, ready for the impact to come.

"FLAMETHROWER!!" A voice shouted out as a blast of fire came and impacted the gang of Beedrill. Sting growled as an arrival of an Arcanine appeared in front of the pony. Applejack looked at the Pokemon and noticed he had a black ranger hat and a badge with "Ranger of Apple Forest" engraved into it. He glared at the three Beedrill who only coward in fear, well only two of them except for Sting who just growled at the Arcanine.

"You again?!" Sting exclaimed.

"I thought I told you buzzing buggy bastards to stay out of the forest? Don't you know you're trespassing private property? Not to mention hurting an innocent pony?! " He asked, growling at the Beedrill.

Applejack summoned some of her remaining strength and stood up wobbly, must of been the effects of the poison sting. She glared at the Beedrill for attacking her just for being here. She then looked at the Arcanine, which she assumed is the ranger of the forest. She knew how he felt about unwelcoming poachers on her farm.

"P-Pardon me, sir? But who are ya?" Asked the apple mare.

The Arcanine looked at her for a brief second and then moved his eyes to her purple leg. He shook his head and glared harder at the three Beedrill.

"You should just sit down and relax. Don't move too much. And my name? The name is Amaterasu and I'm the ranger of this forest." He introduced.

Applejack struggled to keep her eyes open, but the poison was beating her down. Her vision became even more blurry, as all she seen was an orange and tan blur before passing out. Amaterasu noticed this and noticed the three Beedrill were aware of it as well, he growled and let out a few flames in a warning. The Beedrill all backed away and growled at the defending Arcanine.

"You were lucky this time!" Sting called out as he and his lackeys flew right out of the forest. "But we will be back!"

"And stay out!" He shouted as he stomped his paw on the ground. He turned around and saw the unconscious pony. He shook his head and placed the pony on his back.

"Attacking an innocent pony. Now that's just low. Even for them. Well, better get her to the cabin. Can't leave her here out the open like this" Amaterasu said as he begun his trip back home.

Rainbow Dash and Gene headed towards, what appeared to be a purple dome structure. She noticed it looked like a tent and there were steps that had reached the top. She grinned, happy that she doesn't need to climb up those stairs.

"It's up there. Let's go" Gene said.

Rainbow flew up to the entrance and noticed a Pokemon on the ground, having a pretty excited look. She was red and looked like a cross between a plane and a bird. She had a confused expression as to why she was just standing there.

"Hey-Uh? Is this the Adventure Union?" She whispered to Gene.

Gene nodded with a smile. He then noticed the Pokemon that was in front of them, blocking the entrance. He recognized this Pokemon as Latias. Latias and Gene were good friends and used to hang out from time to time, however, as soon as he became a treasure hunter, their times of hanging out having to cut short. It was a good thing that they had left on good terms.

"Yo! Latias! Long time no see!" Gene greeted.

The dragon-psychic legendary turned around and gave a wide smile, she ran up and hugged her best friend. This confused the Rainbow Pegasus as she was trying to decipher on what is going on exactly.

"Gene! Haven't seen you in forever! What's going on?" She asked with a smile.

Gene smiled back and pointed to Rainbow Dash. "Well, taking this little lady to the Adventure Union. She wants to join it."

Latias then turned to the cyan Pegasus and gave a smile. "Hey! I know you! Yeah, you're that pony who said you can clear the skies for us. Is that true by the way?" She asked.

Rainbow scoffed with a grin. "Of course, I clear the skies in my sleep." She bragged to which Gene rolled his eyes at. Latias giggled at this wrapped an arm around the pony.

"So Gene told me that you want to be part of the Adventure Union. I'm trying to get in myself. Just waiting for the headmaster to be done with his paperwork." She stated.

"Yeah, I heard it's pretty awesome. I'll be just like Daring Do and go off exploring ." The prismatic mare squeed, which confused the two Pokemon.

'Daring Do? Is she some kind of famous explorer or something?' Latias wondered. Gene and Latias just chuckled sheepishly and looked at the pretty excited mare. Gene smiled and nodded towards Latias.

"Well, Latias. It seems you have things under control. Why don't you show her around once you two get in, okay?" Gene suggested.

"I really need to get going. A Bellator needs to get back to work after all, plus I promise to see my fiancee. Anyways, ciao!" Gene then waved goodbye to them and teleported away which surprised Rainbow Dash.

"W-Wait. He teleported!? And what's a Bellator?" Asked Rainbow.

"I'll tell you later, right now we better get inside. I think the headmaster is done." Latias replied, grabbing the pony's hoof and dragging her inside the tent.

Meanwhile, in the library. Twilight had picked up a stack of books to learn all about Pokemon. Books such as, 'The History of Pokemon' 'Encyclopedia of Pokemon' 'Psychic Types and You' and 'Pokemon Evolution'. She smiled as she began to read the first book, 'The History of Pokemon'.

"Yes! With this, I'll know enough about Pokemon. Though I am going to be here for a while. I wonder how my friends are doing?" She wondered.

The lavender princess sighed and continued to read, hoping that her friends would not cause too much trouble. Suddenly she heard a chair being moved beside her. She looked annoyed at first but then realized it's one of those Pokemon. He was a quadruped, mammalian Pokémon with a dark blue to gray body covered in white fur. He has a ruff around his neck and chest and a tuft on the top of his head adorned with a single blue-black oval. He has a feline face with almond-shaped, red eyes, a scythe-like tail, and a sickle-shaped horn on the side of his head which kind of made the Alicorn shiver. His broad feet are equipped with three claws each, and spikes protrude from the heels of his hind legs and the elbows of its front legs.

"Hi! You must be the princess of your old world. Princess Twilight, was it?" greeted the Pokemon in a kind voice.

"Uh, yes. But you can just call me Twilight" She replied with a smile a tiny blush. Whoever this Pokemon is, he looked and acted friendly.

"Twilight huh? Nice name. I should introduce myself too. My name is Artemis and I'm an Absol." He introduced.

The lavender alicorn nodded and noticed that the Absol had levitated one of her books to her side which was covered in a rainbow colored aura. She also noticed that his red eyes were now glowing blue. This amazed Twilight, urging her to know more about Pokemon, psychic's especially.

"I take it you're a psychic Pokemon?" Questioned Twilight.

Artemis chuckled and shook his head. "Nah, I'm a dark-type Pokemon. I was just using Future Sight, which is a Psychic Move. However, I was only using about 3% of it's true power."

This confused Twilight greatly. How can a dark type Pokemon use a psychic type move? She thought only psychic moves were only exclusive to psychic Pokemon. If that were the case, maybe ponies can replicate Pokemon moves as well?

'Pokemon are incredible.' She said in amazement. Artemis tilted his head in confusion as to why Twilight was starring in wonder. It kind of creeped him out. The alicorn then realized what she is doing and snapped out of it. She blushed and rubbed the back of her sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, Hehehe. Hey-uh what abilities do dark type Pokemon have?" She asked.

Artemis thought about it and remembered most of the abilities that dark types possess. Some can make illusions while others can cause bad dreams. However, he realized that most dark types don't have anything special to them.

"Well, for starters. Not much really. We do have an immunity to psychic type attacks and some dark types can create illusions, shadows, bad dreams and even predict natural disasters."

While the lavender princess was a bit intrigued by the fact that some Pokemon can be immune to other types. However, Pokemon can predict natural disasters is what caught her interest. Her friend, Pinkie has a similar ability of sensing oncoming danger.

"Pokemon can sense oncoming disasters?!" She asked in surprised.

The Absol nodded, seemingly uncomfortable about the topic. He told her that Absols are known to warn Pokemon of upcoming disasters such as volcano eruptions, tsunamis and hurricanes. However, because natural disasters happen when an Absol is around. Some Pokemon view them as a doom bringer. Realizing the conversation had turned really gloomy, Twilight decided to change the subject.

"So, uh... now that I know Pokemon have different abilities, aside from the ones they use in battle. Are there other Pokemon immune to other types." Twilight asked, hoping the subject will change.

"Yes. As you know, Dark type Pokemon like myself are immune to psychic techniques. Steel type Pokemon is immune to poison techniques. Fairy type Pokemon is immune to dragon techniques. Ghost type Pokemon is immune to fighting techniques. Normal type Pokemon is immune to ghost techniques and Flying type Pokemon are immune to ground techniques. Immunity help us in battle, however we also have weaknesses and resistances, depending on the typing. For example, Fire types are weak against Water Pokemon, but have a resistance against Grass type Pokemon. Hope that helps." Artemis replied with a smile.

Twilight nodded with a happy smile, taking all the information in. It seemed that Pokemon do have limitations, weaknesses and amongst other things that are quite similar to the magic beings of Equestria. She was happy that she ran into a possible new friend who can help her around the subject of Pokemon. Plus he looks kind of cute. A small and barely visible blush appeared on the alicorn's cheeks for thinking that.

'Sweet Celestia. Did I just thought that?!' Twilight mentally gasped. Her thoughts shattered apart when she heard Artemis speak.

"Tell you what. Why don't you come live with me and Tusk. We sure could use the company, plus with an extra room we wouldn't mind. " Artemis suggested.

The lavender princess thought about the idea, she could read her books peace and settle in. Plus, she and Spike had no place to live at the moment. She had hope Spike would be ok by himself for a while, but knowing her friends; especially Rarity would never let Spike get in danger. She smiled and looked back at the Absol, who was awaiting her answer.

"Can.... Can I think about it, please?" pleaded Twilight with a kind smile on her face.

"Of course. Take all the time you need, Twilight." Artemis replied with a smile of his own.

Rarity's new Carousel Boutique had been built thanks to the Gurdurr who decided to help her because of her looks. with new adjustments. She added in couches, a television, magazine shelf for reading, and a workplace where she can design new clothes for the citizens. She had seen many Pokemon with different designs and had inspired her to make more clothes. She grabbed a sheet of sketching paper and went to work with her myriad of ideas.

"With the amount of Pokemon I had met along the way, I have been given so many ideas. I could make me so MANY dresses." She squealed in delight. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and footsteps. She turned to see a cream colored cat with purple fur on its head, neck and tail. Next was a dog that looked like a poodle, it's fur was black and orange and had a Kabuki trim to it. Rarity marveled at the color and the fur coat of the dog. Lastly, she sees a green insect-like creature with a leafy hood and arms.

"Ummm... can I help you three?" asked the element of generosity.

The cat nodded and smiled at the white pony, she cleared her throat and begin. "Right, My name is Velvet, I am a Delcatty. These are my friends Kabuki the Furfrou and Seamstress the Leavanny. We heard that you're a Fashionista. We heard from a couple of ponies that you used to own a store called the Carousel Boutique."

Rarity smiled and nodded. "I am Rarity or Miss Rarity if you prefer. And of course, darling. Not trying to be rude or anything, but I was just in the middle of sketching out these wonderful dresses I had in mind." She finished with a happy smile.

The three Pokemon walked up to her and each looked at the sketch of dresses she had doodled. What she had sketched so far had amazed and wowed the three Pokemon. They explained to Rarity how much they love the design and how amazing it looked.

"Awww. Thank you, three. Maybe I should make dresses for the three of you. But if you don't mind me asking, what are you three here for?" Wondered Rarity.

Kabuki sighed and explained "You see--for at least six months, we have been having some terrible luck."

"What do you mean?" asked Rarity.

Seamstress growls in anger and stares at the floor. "We use to own a business that designs clothes for others called 'The String Shot'. We sell the best clothes for Pokemon everywhere. Scarves, jackets, shoes and even pants; we did them all. The business was our pride and joy; however, it was burned down by that no good rotten Purugly."

The element of generosity figured that this Purugly was another Pokemon she didn't know about. But was rather shocked that some pony or rather somemon would just burn down someone's business. It was most certainly rude and just down right barbaric for her.

"Sweet Celestia! For whatever for darling?!" Asked Rarity.

Kabuki growled at the thought of the Purugly that was the caused of their problem. The Furfrou takes a deep breath and explained. "Around 8 months ago. As you know, we had a business called 'The String Shot'. However, we were rivals with another boutique called 'Ball of Yarn'. We were more successful and made a lot of Poke. Though we had Poke. We only cared about the designs of clothes we make and our customers. However, she became jealous and decided to copy our designs and stated that she made them first. That we stole her ideas and we were nothing but common jerks. As you can tell, that wasn't true. A huge argument erupted between our businesses and war happened. Not literal war, just a fashion war. Anyways, she eventually set both our businesses a blaze and our glorious customers turned against us for thinking we did that to hide or get rid of the copies. We tried to bounce back, but we didn't have enough money to start a business in Treasure City. So we just lived here ever since."

Rarity eyes widen at the story that was told to her. She couldn't believe how some Pokemon could be so cruel to each other. She knew how it felt having her hard work taken away from her. Remembering the incident that happened with Suri and Coco Pommel in Manehatten. She wrapped her hooves around the Furfrou and rubbed her back.

"There there darling, I know exactly how you feel about having your work stolen from you. I had that problem happened to me two weeks ago. But I am not trying to sound mean or anything, but why exactly did you come here? You, uh--never answered my question." Stated Rarity.

Velvet smiled sadly and looked at the pony "I hope you don't mind it. But if it's ok. Could we possibly work for you? We could bring in more customers." She suggested.

"And help you design these clothes." Added Seamstress.

"And there can be grooming on the side. And who doesn't like a good grooming?!" Said Kabuki with confidence in her voice.

Velvet smiled and nodded at the pony. "The truth is Miss Rarity. We just want our dream back. Please....let's us work with you." tears streamed down the Delcatty's face. Rarity, now crying as well hugged the three Pokemon, trying to calm them down. She smiled and looked at them all in the eye.

"Darlings. Of course you can work here. Welcome to the Carousel Boutique." She said.

Velvet and her friends couldn't be anymore happier hearing those words.

Fluttershy walked down the road of the town, wanting to explore more of the place she'll be living in. It was happening so suddenly and normally she would shy away from these types of things. However, seeing the new inhabitants of the Pokemon world who express kindness and love, made her feel braver. She wasn't paying any attention to where she was going and had bumped into one of the Pokemon. She rubbed her head to ease the pain and looked up to see what or who she bumped into.

He was a quadruped, hoofed Pokémon that looked similar to a goat. He is covered in a fluffy, brown fur that is dark across the back and light around the belly and legs. Around his neck, he has a thick, green leaves mane that extends down his spine and ends in a short tail. The fur on his face is white with fluffier fur on his chin. He has a black nose and red eyes with white pupils. His eyes are surrounded by a black marking. The top of his head is dark brown and has two long, curving, black horns that extend over his back. The fur on his legs is shorter than the rest of his body, dark brown on the upper leg, and white around his feet. Each foot ends in a cloven, brownish-orange hoof.

The goat like Pokemon looked to who he bumped into and stepped back to get a good look of her. "My apologies." He apologized softly to the yellow mare. He wanted to ask if she was alright, however, he knew she'll be fine. He walked passed her and continued his hike to home.

Fluttershy had noticed that the Gogoat had dropped something. Being the kind pony she is, she picked it up and went to give it back to him. The shy pony followed the Gogoat down the road and hesitantly tapped his grassy tail. This caught the grass-type Pokemon's attention and looked behind him to see what or who had tapped him. He looked to see that it was the same pony he had bumped into before.

"Ah? It's you, again. Is there anything you need?" He asked politely.

Fluttershy wimpered shyly and held up a bag what seem to be filled with Poke. His eyebrows raised, not from the bag that he dropped, but from the pony who seemed to be afraid of him.

"Y-you--umm. dr-dropped this." She said quietly, hoping that the Gogoat heard her. He did. He had very acute hearing after all. He grabbed the bag with his mouth and toss the bag onto his back. He gave her a silent nod.

"Thank you-Uh. Forgive me, I haven't learned your name." He stated.

Fluttershy squeaked and hid her face behind her mane. She looked back at the Gogoat and rubbed a hoof across the dirt road.

"F-Fluttershy." She introduced.

Gogoat nodded and went to turn around, not before giving her his name in return. It was only fair to do so.

"Capricorn. My name is Capricorn." He replied and trotted off to his next destination. Fluttershy watched the Gogoat leave and smiled a small smile.

"Capricorn..." She whispered to herself.

Rainbow Dash and Latias were in the middle of a conversation. A conversation about the 13 Bellators and the ranks of the Pokemon world. The 13 Bellators are a group of Pokemon who possess incredible power and fame. To become a Bellator, you would need to defeat one in battle. The Bellators sounding something like a combination of the Wonderbolts and the Princesses. There were more ranks that she learned from Latias that gained the prismatic mare's interest. Praefectus is the highest rank in the world and basically the overseer of a world they're ruling over. Arceus is in that rank. Then below that rank, you have your Dux. The Dux ranks are similar to a princess. You receive this rank when you have 3 years of experience of ruling over a nation. That rank is where Cobalion and the rest of the Dux are. The rank lower than a Dux is a Gladius. Gladius are like captains of a special royal guard and protecting the weak from harm. Terrakion and Virizion belong in that rank as well as their apprentice, Keldeo. She didn't know who he was, but from what Latias told her, he had the look of a pony. Bellators are below Gladius and the ranks that are below Bellators are Militis. Like Gladius, Militis are the royal guards only just regular soldiers of duty. Like the Gladius, Militis roles are no different. The only difference is that they act as watch or bodyguards of royalty. Lastly, the two ranks that are below Militis; Tribuntus and Nomadum. Tribuntus are officers of the law and hunt down criminals who try to either escape justice or attack innocent civilians. As for Nomadum, it is as the name implies. They're nomads who travel from place to place and helping others out.

She had learned a lot from the legendary Pokemon, and they had shared their history with each other. She had learned that Latias is from the Air Continent and is Latios little sister. She knew they looked alike, it was only obvious. Latias has also learned a lot from Rainbow Dash, that she is the fastest flier which Latias claims that she is also fast flier. The two got along quickly and became good friends. The two girls then notice a Lombre walking up towards them with a clipboard in his hand. It seemed like he was double checking something.

"Hello Mr. Gonzales."

The Lombre looked up from his clipboard and smiled at the eon Pokemon. "Heya, Latias. I see you came all the way here from the Air Continent to join the Adventure Union, I presume?" He guessed.

"Yeah! I've been excited about it and I had asked my brother if it was okay. He's totally fine with it." She confirmed. Gonzales nodded and looked towards the prismatic pony wondering if she is here for the same reason.

"I take it your friend is here to join the Adventure Union too?" Asked Gonzales.

Rainbow grinned at the water-grass Pokemon and nodded to him. "Yeah, I heard about the Adventure Union and I wanted to join it. Create a team and even become one of the 13 Bellators one day."

Gonzales was shocked by her declaration of becoming one of the 13 Bellators. She had confidence, that's for sure. He smiled was about to respond until the Adventure Union leader came in. She is a small, brown bipedal Pokémon with a vaguely ram-like appearance. There is a cotton-like substance covering her back, neck, and forehead. Behind her is a green, star shaped section similar to the area where a plant connects to its produce. She has orange, oval-shaped eyes and green, curled horns or ears. The Pokemon looked at the two girls and gave them a smile.

"Ah. New members, right?" She guessed. Gonzales nodded to her, confirming her guess. The Pokemon smiled and gave the two girls a wave.

"The names, Harlequin. I'm the sister of the famous, Apollo of the Expedition Society." Harlequin introduced. Rainbow looked at Latias in confusion, obviously looking for an answer.

Latias noticed this and responded right away. "Apollo is one of the 13 Bellators and is rank #9." Which shocked Rainbow Dash, she wondered if Harlequin was a Bellator as well? Wouldn't hurt to ask, right?

"Hey? uh-Harlequin? So what rank are you? Since your brother is number #9?" She asked.

The Whismicott chuckled and responded. "Number #11" Rainbow was only slightly impress at this revelation, thinking that she was a higher rank if she is a leader of the Adventure Union.

'I wonder whose rank #1?' Rainbow wondered. Harlequin smirked and blew a whistle. "Everyone! Come and meet your newest members. One of them is a pony."

Just then, in a hurry. A Ivysaur, Rotom, Porygon Z, Bidoof, Corsola and Voltorb all appeared smiling at the duo. The group than began to introduce themselves.

"Heya, I'm Ivy, the Ivysaur. Welcome to the Adventure Union." Ivy greeted.

"I'm Calgon, the Rotom." Calgon greeted too. "Just don't let me near any washing machines or other devices." He smirked. The rest of the Pokemon sweatdropped at this.

"Uh huh... ignore him. Hello, You may refer to me as Data." The Porygon-Z bowed towards the legendary Pokemon and the prismatic pony. Soon, the Bidoof introduces himself as Bill, he was a fun guy who enjoys some adventure. The Corsola introduces herself as Carol. Carol was a bit soft-spoken and shy, which reminded Rainbow Dash of her friend, Fluttershy. Last but not, least, The Voltorb introduced himself as CeeFor and had an explosive attitude, meaning the guy was short tempered. Latias and Rainbow Dash were showed around the Union and even the types of missions that they'll be doing. After a good 30 minutes of touring around the Union and answering questions about Equestria, Latias and Rainbow Dash walked out of the Union and smiled.

"Yes! We're a part of the Adventure Union. I can't believe it!" Latias cheered.

"I know! I'm so excited! I can't wait to go on missions and stuff!" Rainbow replied with equal enthusiasm. Latias smiled and looked at the rainbow mare.

"Hey, uh--Rainbow Dash? Since we don't have a team and all. I was wondering? Would you like to be teammates? You know, start a rescue team of our own?" Latias asked, hoping she'll say yes. Honestly, Rainbow was already considered a best friend in Latias eyes. The legendary, rarely had any friends, only other Pokemon wants to be her friend because they wanted to get closer to her brother.

Rainbow thought about and realized how awesome would it be to have her as a teammate. Plus, she seemed really cool and nice. Of course she'll agree to it.

"Yeah! Why not. But we need to think of a name. How bout--The Rainbooms!" Rainbow suggested. Latias shook her head and soon a name came up to her.

"Wait! How bout the Eons?"

"Nah. Sonic Booms?"

"Nope. Mist Balls?"

"Pffffffft balls. No. No. We need to think of something so cool, that everyone will remember it."

Latias and Rainbow Dash thought hard until a name they both decided on came up. They both nodded and smirk at each other.

"Team Mist Rainbooms!" They said in unison. The name was decided. They will now be known as the Mist Rainbooms.

Applejack slowly opened her eyes to find that she was in a nice comfy bed. She turned to her right and saw a Ninetales cutting and peeling apples. The Ninetales turned and noticed that she was awake, she gave a mare a smile.

"Ah good thing you're awake. We were kind of worried." The Ninetales said.

"Who are you? And where am ah?" Applejack asked weakly. Ampharos noticed this and sighed, the poison was still in her system. It was a good thing she had made some Berry Juice that was 100% Pecha Berry . The Ninetales grabbed the bowl of juice and handed to the Applejack, telling her she should drink this. Applejack weakly took a sip of the juice and two seconds later, her whole body began to feel a whole better. As if she was never poisoned. This surprised the apple mare a whole lot.

"What in the--Ah'm not poisoned or feel no funny no more. Yeehaw!!" She cheered. Applejack turned to the Ninetales and smiled at her.

"Thank ya kindly...uh...."

"Kyuubi...Ms. Kyuubi. The one who saved you from those nasty Beedrill was, Amaterasu; my nephew. Right now you are in our home. You've been out for at least an hour." Kyuubi informed the element of honesty. This surprised Applejack, she was only out for an hour? It felt more than that. She decided to give out her name to her saviors.

"The names Applejack! Nice to meetcha!" She greeted.

Applejack smiled and grabbed her hat that was sitting on the shelf beside her. She also noticed some apple slices on a plate and looked at Kyuubi for permission to devour. The Ninetales giggled and told her that they are for her anyways. Without a second thought, she dug into her morsel; enjoying the delicious treats. Suddenly the door creaked open, revealing Amaterasu and a Vulpix walking behind him. He looked at Applejack and nodded to her, giving her a smile.

"I see you're awake."

"Thanks for helping me back there, uh-Ameeteratzu?" Applejack tried to pronounce his name correctly, which made Kyuubi giggled. The Arcanine rolled his eyes at his aunt and then smile at Applejack.

"Just call me, AT. It's what my friends call me." Amaterasu requested

"Right, AT and uh---sorry bout eating your apples there partner. Ya see... before ah came here, Ah was an apple farmer and well, apples were my pride and joy. So when ah saw the Apple Forest, it brought back memories of Sweet Apple Acres." The apple mare explained. Her ears flat against her skull. Ashamed that she vandalized somepony or somemon's property.

"You were a farmer?!" asked Kyuubi.

"Yes, ma'am. Ah, would love to farm again if ah could. But ah guess ah should go live in an ordinary house instead." Applejack said with sadness in her voice, it was obvious that she had missed her home. Amaterasu looked at her with sympathy and grabbed a pink scarf. He walked over to the apple farmer and handed the scarf to her. Applejack looked at the scarf and back to him with confusion on her face.

"What is this?" asked Applejack.

"This is a Pecha Scarf . It gives you complete immunity to poison." The Arcanine explained.

"How is that scarf suppose to protect me from being poisoned? Sorry sugarcube, but that doesn't make a lick a sense."

This made the Arcanine grinned mischievously. He turned to the Vulpix and nodded to him. On the Vulpix's back was a silver tray carrying what look like purple spikes. Applejack began to back up in fear from starring at the scary looking spikes. Just what were they planning to do?

"We knew you were going to say that. Kitsune, the spikes." Amaterasu ordered. Kitsune stood still and watched Amaterasu carefully grabbed one of the spikes off the tray that was placed on his back. He then looks at Applejack and nudge his head towards the scarf.

"These spikes are Venipede Spikes which are poisonous of course. Wear that scarf and I'll show you how it will protect you. Trust me" He instructed. Reluctantly, Applejack did what he said by wrapping the scarf around her neck. She didn't realize it til now, but it the scarf really looks good on her. Amaterasu nodded at Applejack and she gulped and braced herself. She looked at the fire Pokemon with a nervous look. He wasn't lying about the scarf protecting her, but she still didn't want it backfiring. However, she never backs down. Especially from no needle.

"You ready.... uhh?" Not really knowing her name.

"Applejack. And yes. Ah'm ready."

Amaterasu nodded and smacked the spike on to Applejack's side. To her it felt like a small pinch, but she wasn't feeling any poisonous effects or anything around that level. In fact, she felt like as if she was wearing some kind of armor. Did the Pecha Scarf really work? This really surprised her a lot. She had much to learn from this world.

"Wh-what in tarnation!?" She gasped.

"That's the effects of the Pecha Scarf, Applejack. Keep wearing it and you'll be immune to poison." Kyuubi said with a smile on her face. She nodded with a happy smile and looked at the pink scarf around her neck. She took it off and handed to the Ninetales with an apologetic look on her face.

"Is there a...ummm possible way to change the color to red maybe? The color really doesn't suit me." Applejack asked. Feeling kind of bad for a change up on a gift the nice family gave her.

Kyuubi smiled and nodded "Sure thing. I'll see what I can do. Don't worry, it's free of charge. OH! The sun is setting! I forgot all about the festival. You two better go now. Me and Kitsune will stay in. We already met the new neighbors." She winked.

Applejack blushed and nodded, leaving with Amaterasu. When the duo exit the house, Applejack noticed that there was a farm and barn outside. The farm had many types of berries planted. The way things looked, it was almost as if Applejack had never left home; that she was already here. She looked up at Amaterasu with pleading eyes, and Amaterasu noticed this. He chuckled and nodded his head.

"Yes Applejack. You can live here."

"Thank ya so much AT! Also, Ah wanna know. Can the fam stay with me too? It's only me, my big brother Macintosh, my little sister Applebloom, Granny Smith and our dog Winona. Ah, I know it's a bit much, but I-" Her speech was interrupted by the Arcanine putting his paw on her muzzle.

"It's fine Applejack. It's fine. We have 5 bedrooms in the house, but we will make it work. I promise. Now let's not worry about that. Let's get to the festival" Amaterasu said with a smile. Applejack nodded and the two ran into the forest, heading towards the beginning festival.

Night had fallen and the mane six along with various ponies were enjoying the time they were having, some were playing games like fishing for Koi fish and others were dancing to music made by the Bellossom sisters which Pinkie joined in during the dance routine. Everyone joined in and it was a great time. Applejack had explained to her family what happened and Big Mac threatened to hurt the Beedrills if he ever see them again. Amaterasu smiled at this and introduced himself to the apple family.

"Hey there, I'm Amaterasu. I am the one who saved your sister. You can call AT if you want." He said.

"Thank ya kindly, AT, Ah'm Big Macintosh. But mah friends call me Big Mac, and this here is Applebloom, Granny Smith and Winona. Nice ta meet ya" He smiled, shaking the Arcanine's paw.

"Howdy there, Mister. Ah'm Applebloom. Wow, you sure are a big dog." Applebloom comment.

Soon it got silent as Arcanine's ears flatten against his skull. He looked irritated when she said that word. Dog. If there was one thing Amaterasu hated more, it was being called a dog. Despite, looking like one. Winona whined a bit, feeling the tension coming from the Arcanine. Applejack noticed this too, and glared at Applebloom for possibly offending the Pokemon.

"Applebloom!" Applejack scolded.

Realizing what she had done, the little apple filly began to tear up. Frantically apologizing to both Amaterasu and Applejack. The Arcanine soon snapped out of his anger and looked at the frantic filly. He lifted his paw and placed it upon Applebloom's head.

"So-sorry about going all mad, like that. I just HATE being called a dog. Just please don't do it again." He advised placing his paw back down.

This calmed down Applebloom as she leaped at his leg and hugged it, apologizing repeatedly. The rest of the Apple family along with Amaterasu chuckled at this. The Arcanine then remembered he had to explain and tell them that the family will be living with him from now on.

Amaterasu explained about the living arrangements to the apple family and they had all agreed. Each of the mane six talked about the current places they'll be living in and what is going on right now. After three hours of eating and dancing, the mane six went their separate ways with their Pokemon friends. Artemis, Twilight and Spike are now walking towards their new home. The walk was very peaceful and quiet until Twilight broke the silence.

"Hey Artemis?" Asked Twilight.

"Yes?"

"You said that you live with a guy named Tusk. Who is he? What's he like?" She asked. Artemis smiled and looked at Twilight and Spike.

"Tusk is a Axew. A dragon-type Pokemon. Not to worry, he isn't fully evolved. I had found him during a mission in Zero Isle when he was just an egg. He is about the same height as Spike. He can be a big eater and not to mention, adventurous. Sometimes when I leave home, he can get a bit lonely. He's like a little brother to me and I will do anything to keep that little lizard safe and happy." Artemis explain.

Spike had been partially excited that he'll be talking to another dragon, one that is around his age. Twilight smiled at Artemis explanation. His description of Tusk reminded her of Spike. The three had finally made it to his home. They had noticed the Axew had passed, asleep on the couch. Probably either from cleaning the house or from some small adventure he had. Twilight had approached the dragon Pokemon and looked at Artemis.

"Yup. That's him. Can you place him in my room please. It's upstairs on the right. First door." He instructed. Twilight nodded as she levitated the Axew with her magic and walked upstairs to find Artemis room. It was a bit plain. There's a bed with a blanket with dark blue crescent moons patterned on them. The curtains were also a dark blue. Next was a shelf that held some books, an alarm clock and what appeared some kind of necklace that had a gem with a blue-white swirl inside of it.

'What is that?' She wondered as she gazed at the dazzling necklace. Artemis walked in and noticed that the princess was staring at his necklace.

"I see you're interested in my mega stone. It helps me evolve further and get stronger." He explained.

This piqued Twilight's interest. "Mega stone? Evolve further? What do you mean?" Before Artemis could reply, Twilight let out a tired yawn. Probably from all that dancing and partying, she did at the festival.

"How bout I tell you, tomorrow." Artemis suggested. "You seemed tired." Twilight chuckled at this and nodded. "If you were wondering where you'll be sleeping. It's the room next to mine. Spike is in there too." He explain. Twilight nodded and walked out, not before thanking the Absol for his kindness.

Meanwhile in the Life Continent in the Primeval Forest. A tall blue deer-like creature was walking through the enchanting forest. This creature was a Pokemon known as Xerneas, and she smiled as she watched the fellow Pokemon sleep peacefully in their homes. However, a certain diamond Pokemon rushed to her and had a nervous expression on her face. The Pokemon of Life wondered what could be troubling her daughter.

'Forgive me Father for what I am about to do.' The diamond Pokemon prayed.

"Mother! It's good to see you again." She greeted with a bow.

"Hello Diancie. How's Mist Continent and your subjects holding up? Pretty well, I presume?" Xerneas asked. Diancie smiled and told her everything's fine. However, she began to explain what she came here for.

"Uhhh... Mother. Father brought about 9-10 new species of different creatures from a planet called Equus and saved them from destruction and extinction without your permission. They now reside in our world, Mother." She informed, closing her eyes in fear. While Xerneas may seem kind and gentle, she is one of the few Pokemon you do NOT want to anger. Xerneas had a confuse expression on her face and went to go see for herself. She and Diancie teleported to Noe Town and saw Diamond Dogs and Crystal Ponies walking around the town with the Pokemon. She walked up to one of the Diamond Dogs and asked how she and her species got here.

"Some Pokemon brought us here after saving us from our planet's destruction. I'm surprise you didn't know." She said as she walks off.

"Yeah...Me too" Xerneas replied almost calmly. Her face went from confusion to anger in a matter of minutes. She need to talk to her husband tomorrow about this.

"Told you mother." Diancie spoke

Xerneas took a deep breath and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"ARCEUS!!!!"

Xerneas and Diancie teleported out of the area with the goddess of light bearing a look of pure anger, ignoring the looks she was getting from the various Diamond Dogs, Crystal Ponies and Pokemon.

"Did you hear that?" Spoke a Diamond Dog.

"I taste that." A Glaceon replied.

Meanwhile, in the Hall of Legends, Arceus is spending time with his daughter Mew. He was chuckling and smiled at the pink Pokemon. The two legendary Pokemon was chatting up something humorous.

"I am sure you will meet tons of new friends, Mew. Just don't cause too much trouble" He said, knowing his daughter very well.

"I know. I know. I am not a little kid dad." She replied. Suddenly, Arceus felt a cold shiver went down his spine and he felt pale. Mew noticed this and looked at her father with concern.

"Dad? You alright?" She asked.

"Yes. I just felt the wrath of your mother." He replied.

Chapter 6: Attack! Attack!(Edited)

View Online

Arceus sudden fear increased even more when a bright flash of light appeared, revealing two Pokemon he knew. One of them is his daughter, the diamond princess; Diancie. The other is his wife, the Pokemon of life; Xerneas. The Pokemon of Life was staring daggers at the god. If looks could kill, Arceus would have been dead 50x over.

"Sorry Father, I had to tell the truth." Diancie said with a guilty expression on her face. Mew just rolled her eyes and called her a snitch. Arceus cleared his throat and looked into Xerneas, x-like blue eyes. All he could see in them was anger, demanding an explanation. He knew this was going to happen. And he is greatly prepared for it, despite that his wife is looking extremely angry right now.

"Arceus!? Why did you bring not only one, but several different species of unknown creatures into the Pokemon World?!" Xerneas demanded.

Arceus cleared his throat and began to explain.

"You see, dear, Equus was going through a magical crisis. If I didn't intervene and help, thousands upon thousands of innocent lives would have perished. Yes, I could have sent them to a new planet. But there were no other planets I knew of that could of accepted them, so I chose ours. Besides, I do miss neighboring species like we had with the humans all those years ago."

Xerneas sighed but still had an stern look upon her face. She looked at the god, absorbing all the information he had given her. Suddenly, her facial expressions soften and took a deep breath. Sometimes, her husband can be a bit of a moron.

"Arceus. Listen. I know you mean well. But you can't just dump some unknown species onto the Pokemon world. You don't know how they'll react. All of this is very new to them."

"True. But I believe everything will come in peace and harmony. I had already informed the Dux 6 about the new species coming into town. They had accepted them, already. Plus I believe Cobalion has a crush or something on Celestia. However, I could be wrong." Arceus stated.

"But what about war, Dear? What if a Pokemon or one of the species decide to attack each other. One of the continents is bound to retaliate. Soon neighboring countries will evade. Then, a world war will begin. What then?!" Xerneas countered. She soon calmed down, realizing she was frightening Diancie a bit. Mew, However; didn't mind and just sat and listen to the whole conversation.

"I am happy that you saved them from destruction and had offered them a home. But, I'm just worried that this will turn out to be a horrible outcome for both sides. You can't ignore that conflict is bound to happen, right? I just hope no blood will be shed and soon after years of living together, everyone is happy."

Arceus walked up to his wife and nuzzled her in a loving way. The Life Pokemon blushed and gave her husband a small smile. She could never stay too mad at him.

"Listen Xerneas. I know I should have talked to you about this. I know I should have thought about it more clearly. But I believe I have done the right thing. Plus, if war ever does break out. I would stop it myself and deal with it, this I promise you. Just trust me on this Xerneas." Arceus replied. Xerneas sighed and looked at her two daughters who were now avoiding eye contact.

"Alright. I am just worried is all. Against my better judgment, I will see how this plays out. As long as Mew makes some friends."

Mew giggled and nodded at her mother. "Don't worry mom, I will. Besides, can you imagine the hybrids that will be popping out? I give it 4-5 years that it will happen. And I'll be the first to see it and study it!" She gleamed. Diancie just rolled her eyes at her sister's fascination of science.

'Here she goes again.' Diancie deadpanned.

Xerneas smiled at her daughter and looked at her husband. "You better hope you know what you're doing Arceus." She said to herself.

Morning arrives and the sun decided to let some sunlight shine through a certain sun princess's window. She stirred for a bit, only to wake up when the sunlight had beamed on her white face. She turned to the window and grumbled a bit, shielding her eyes from the attacking sunlight.

'Ugh. The sun rises on it's own? If it were up to me, I'd give it an extra hour. Oh well, can't be helped.' Celestia thought. She got out of her bed and looked around her room, her new room. Her room has a golden color to it with whitish gold curtains hanging on the window. It brought a radiant shine to her room. She smiled at that and looked at the marble, golden floor, noticed her cutie mark design on it.

'What the?!' She thought.

She scanned the cutie mark design on the marbled floor and tapped it with her hoof. It felt and looked nice, actually.

"Was this Arceus's doing?" She pondered. 'This is quite bizarre'. She brushed the strange occurrence aside, assuming it had something to do with the Pokemon god. She looked over to see her sleeping phoenix, Philomena is sitting on the window stand. She smiled at that and quietly walked out of her new room. Everything had happened so fast, with her home world exploding and this god named Arceus saving her and her subjects from their planet's sudden destruction. She still felt like a complete failure, how she couldn't handle the situation. Sure, she helped evacuate everypony into the portals. But she felt like she could have handled the situation a bit better. Deciding not to dwell on the thought and be happy that her precious ponies are safe from harm. She walked down the hallway to get some breakfast. The sun princess had greeted some of her royal guards who gained a job to work in the Lively Town Castle. It was the largest building in the whole place, next to the Expedition Society which is the second largest in Lively Town. Cobalion was right. This place did resemble Canterlot. It was as if she never left home.

Her thoughts were erased when her younger sister, Luna greeted her.

"Good morning, Sister." Greeted the princess of the night.

Celestia looked up to see her sister, smiling at her. She smiled back and nodded at her younger sibling.

"Good morning, Luna" Celestia replied with a smile of her own.

Luna nodded at her "Hello, I was just about to see the town, to see what it has to offer. Would you like to join me?"

Celestia looked out of the window and noticed some ponies and other Pokemon are interacting with one of another. It amazed her how friendly some can be with others. But she knew well enough that conflict was inevitable. It was only a matter of time. She just hoped that no war will break loose.

"Sure, I would like to join you Luna, but first. Let us get some breakfast." Celestia suggested with a smile. The two royal sisters walked down the hall, passing by statues of legendary Pokemon. Some of the statues she recognized such as Arceus and the Swords of Justice. That reminded her of the leader of that group, Cobalion. The legendary Pokemon is very kind and not to mention quite handsome. Celestia felt a small blush coming from her cheeks. She shook her head vigorously, banishing the thought of the Sword of Justice leader. She wasn't looking for a relationship, not since what had happened between her and Sombra. She sighed sadly at the thought of him, he was everything she had wanted. It was a shame he had gone to the dark side of magic and managed to lose himself forever.

'Sombra..' She thought.

"Sister!" Luna called out. Celestia's thoughts were shattered by the sound of the princess of the night's voice. She turned to her younger sister and gave her a questioning look.

"You alright? I had said that we have arrived in the dining room. You were spaced out on us." She said. Celestia looked ahead and noticed two Bisharp guarding the doors that lead to the dining room. The two Pokemon nodded at them and greeted them with a smile.

"Oh..good morning, Princess Celestia. Princess Luna" One of the Bisharp greeted. The two royal sisters raised their eyebrows at the guards. Since when did the Pokemon started calling them princess? Sure, obviously they were princesses before. But that was in the past, the two hold no power here.

"Oh...It's alright young Pokemon. You do not have to call us Princess. Celestia is just fine." Celestia smiled.

"Oh. But Sir Cobalion insist. You're a princess. Therefore, it's appropriate to call you by your titles." The Bisharp replied. Celestia groaned at this while Luna suppressed a giggled. She shook her head and nodded at the two Bisharps. She would need a talk to the Sword of Justice soon. The two princesses enter the mess hall and had noticed some of the ponies and Pokemon presented. There was Cobalion of course, chatting it up with Virizion and Terrakion. Prince Blueblood and his seven wives were also present. Along with them were a large green snakelike creature with ruby red eyes. Next to the Pokemon, was an otter-like creature with a horn and what appeared to be armor. Last but not least, there is a pony-like creature with a red mane and blue tail. He is currently having a conversation with two other creatures. One had green hair and blueish green eyes with a black dress. And the other looked like some kind of squirrel-rabbit creature with blue eyes. To Celestia, the creature was incredibly cute, nibbling on an apple like a hamster. The Sword of Justice leader, Cobalion noticed the sun and moon princesses and decided to greet them.

"Ah. Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. So happy for you both to join us. Everyone. I would like you to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Cobalion introduced. The Pokemon in the room turned to the two royal sisters and begin to introduce themselves.

"I am Queen Nagarani of the Pravice Kingdom. I am a Serperior. And this is King Mifune of the Xabla Kingdom, He is a Samurott." The queen said as she held up the tip of her leafy tail. Celestia and Luna immediately understood the gesture and shook the tail with their hooves.

"It's quite nice to meet you, Queen Nagarani and King Mifune." Celestia replied. Samurott held up his paw to the princesses who shook it as well.

"Welcome to the Water Continent. We had heard about what had happened to your home planet. We are terribly sorry for your loss." He said with honest apologies. Celestia and Luna bowed their heads and smiled sincerely.

"Tis alright, King Mifune. For we are forever grateful that our loving subjects are safe from harm." Luna spoke. Mifune nodded to that and looked behind him to see a certain pony legendary not paying any attention to the princesses. This made Mifune grumbled a bit and went to glare at the Pokemon.

'This generation these days. No respect.' He grumbled.

"KELDEO! MELOETTA! VICTINI!" Mifune shouted. This had gained the three legendary Pokemon attention. The trio looked at Mifune and then the princesses. They all walked up to them and bowed out of respect.

"S-Sorry about that. I am Keldeo. A Sword of Justice. And these are my friends Meloetta, the Pokemon of Melody and Victini. Pokemon of Victory." Keldeo introduced. Celestia and Luna shook hooves with the three Pokemon and gave Keldeo a look of confusion.

"You look so much like a pony." Luna commented.

"Oh. Yeah, I suppose so. To be honest. I noticed some ponies here and there yesterday. I couldn't believe it. There were even times where other Pokemon confused me for a pony. I guess you could call me a Ponymon or something." Keldeo joked.

Victini laughed at this, while Meloetta just shook her head.

Celestia looked at the pony Pokemon with curiosity. His face and mane, especially his eyes looked so familiar to her.

'Why does this Pokemon look so familiar. It's like I've seen him before...' She pondered. She was glad that the Pokemon didn't notice that she was staring at him. It was then that Keldeo's friend, Meloetta gained her attention.

"It is lovely to meet you princesses. Like King Mifune had said, I am terribly sorry about the destruction of your home planet." Meloetta apologized.

"It is alright Meloetta, We are just happy our subjects are safe from harm." Celestia replied with a kind smile. Cobalion cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. Celestia and Luna looked up at Cobalion, while the sun princess was trying to suppress a blush once again.

'Seriously. What is wrong with me?' She wondered.

"Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. Come sit with us. Let us talk." He suggested.

The two sisters found two empty seats and sat in them. Celestia also noticed that two ponies, Shining Armor and Cadence were missing. While they now live in Noe Town. They decided to spend the night here just to spend some time with Shining's parents and make sure they had settled in. She decided to ask her ~~crush~~ friend of their whereabouts.

"Cobalion? Do you know where Shining Armor and Princess Cadence are?" Asked the solar monarch.

"They had said they were going to explore the town and see what it has to offer."

To say they were surprised would be an understatement. The whole town looked incredibly beautiful in the morning. Some Pokemon were up and about doing their daily work. Ponies were getting started to work on their daily activities. Heck, even some ponies and Pokemon were already friends. Talking and enjoying each other's company. The town looked big and incredible, much bigger than Canterlot. Soon a Miltank came over carrying a tray of milk bottles. She smiled at the couple, offering them milk.

"Why hello there? Would you care for some MooMoo Milk?" She offered.

"MooMoo Milk? Sure, I can try some. What about you, Honey?" He asked his wife.

"Of course." Cadence replied with a smile. The two ponies payed for their drinks and both exchanged their thanks. Shining Armor took a swig of his milk and his eyes widen of pure ecstasy.

"This-This is incredible. This milk is very delicious. Cadence you have to try it!" Shining suggested.

Cadence drank the milk and had the same reaction as her husband. This is delicious. She wondered how would chocolate MooMoo milk would taste if regular MooMoo was this good.

Their thoughts were interrupted by a sound of a loud bang and scream. The two ponies along with some royal guards and Bisharp found a downed mare with a lime green coat and blue mane and tail. She was surrounded by an anthropomorphic yellow creature with a big nose and white fur around its neck. It was also holding what appeared to be a pendulum. A brown bipedal Pokemon with colored lights on its hands. And lastly, another Pokemon that was similar to a squid in comparison. It held a sinister look on its face.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!!" haulted one of the royal guards. The three Pokemon looked at the ponies and began to grin evilly. Well except for the squid-like Pokemon. He needed to know who they are and why they're part of Sir Cobalion's Militis Union.

"Who are you?" He demanded.

"We are the Royal Guard of Lively Town, We are here to serve and protect our citizens."

One of the Bisharp guards smiled at this and decided to back some of the royal guards up. "That is right. For attacking an innocent mare and disturbing the peace. You're under arrest." He declared. The squid-like creature could only chuckle at the declaration.

"I am under arrest? Funny. And I believe Princess Celestia and Sir Cobalion had made you the Militis of protecting this place? Your princess is nothing but a fool." The squid-like creature now known as a Malamar said.

This had angered some of the royal guards. How dare they insult their princess like that!?

"What did you say?!" Yelled out one of the guards.

The Malamar chuckled and repeated himself. "I had said. Your princess is nothing but a fool." This provoked the royal guard even further. Deciding to shut his mouth once and for all, three of guards charged at the Malamar. Intent on taking him down. Cadence noticed something odd about the Malamar's eyes and the strange pattern on his body. His body began to glow a faint blue as his belly glowed a faint yellow.

'Oh no..' Cadence thought. Realizing that the Malamar is a psychic type.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU THREE!! HE'S A PSYCHIC TYPE POKEMON!!!" Cadence warned, But it was too late. The Malamar already had the royal guards in his grasp in a telekinetic hold.

"You should've backed down when you had the chance." He told them coldly and threw the guards away from them. Some of them crashing into tables and others into wooden crates.

Shining begin to order some of the crystal guards to check up on the downed guards. He glared daggers at the trio of chuckling Pokemon.

"Who are you!? Why are you doing this?!" He demanded.

The Malamar stopped chuckling and glared at the pony. "You have no orders of telling me what to do, Shining Armor."

The white stallion was completely shocked. "How... How do you know my name?!"

The Malamar chuckled again, but the Hypno next to him began to answer. "It's our job as psychic type Pokemon to know who and what you are. It would seem... unnatural if we didn't."

"I knew it.....So you are psychic type Pokemon! Just what the hell did you do to that poor mare?!" demanded Cadence.

The Malamar sighed and decided to answer their questions. "Very well then, I shall explain who we are and what happened to the mare. I am Mal. I am a Malamar. And these are my.. lackeys , Pend the Hypno....and Enigma the Beheeyem. We are a 'Rescue Team' known as...Team Hypnosis."

"How do you do." Enigma greeted.

"Charmed." Pend said.

"R-Rescue Team?" Shining Repeated.

Mal chuckled and nodded at the prince. "That's right. We go around either stealing items or stealing lives. Depending our mood. But that's not our goal. Our goal....well....you don't need to know."

Cadence growled and looked at the quivering mare and noticed a pink aura surrounding her. "And what about the mare?! What did you do to her."

Enigma smiled and looked at the crystal princess. "We.... put her to sleep."

Cadence, the guards and Shining Armor gasped at this. "Y-Y-You killed her?!"

Mal laughed at this and shook his head, grinning at them with a sinister smile. "Oh no... not yet. You see the pink aura. We are sapping her energy away by eating her dreams. Pend is using a technique called Dream Eater. It's a technique that saps all your life energy while you sleep. It is also one of the 10 illegal moves to use here due to it being extremely lethal."

Shining Armor growled and begin to light up his horn. "You bastards....stop this at once."

Mal glared and ignore him. "You fool. You make no demands here. Soon this whole world will be ours and everyone in it will fall-" Mal didn't get to finish his sentence as a he felt a hard force hit against his cheek. The force sent him flying towards a wooden food stand. But that's not all, Pend and Enigma felt a searing blast of heat hit them as well, sending them back.

Mal recovered from the attack and looked upon his attackers. To say he was shocked is an understatement. There stood two recognizable Pokemon in brown hooded cloaks smirking at him. One is a Lucario with a bone rush technique activate and the other is female Delphox with the flaming branch in her paw.

"You know. Attacking the guards is one thing. But attacking innocents and going around like you own the place just crosses the line." Said the Lucario. The Lucario walked up to the down pony and gave her a piece of a Chesto Berry. The pony woke up to the face of the Lucario starring at her. Of course, upon instinct the mare begin to flail around, actually managing to hit the Lucario in the face; much to the Delphox's amusement.

"Relax. Relax. I am here to save you. You barely have any energy left. But the Lively Town Doctor's Office should fix that right up." He smiled. He put her down and turned to Mal and his gang. The Delphox walked by his side, smirking and feeling her Pokemon blood beginning to boil.

"W-Who are you?" Shining asked. Looking at the Lucario for an answer.

The Lucario smiled at the prince and nodded. "I am Sirius the Legend. Bellator number 1#"

Mal's frown quickly turned into a sinister grin. He watched the two Pokemon approach him slowly, getting ready to attack when the moment is right. Enigma and Pend walked up to Mal's side, helping the Malamar up on his feet.

"I never thought I'd see you again? Sirius. And you, Miss Resia...." Mal grinned.

Resia growled at the Malamar and was about to approach him, But Sirius puts a paw up to her; telling her that he'll handle this. Resia nodded and stepped aside. The Pokemon of Aura glared at the Malamar and pointed at him.

"That's SIR Sirius to you, Mal! What are you doing here? And why you are hurting these ponies?!" Sirius demanded.

Mal just chuckled coldly and grin at the Lucario. "I don't need to answer you, I am simply doing this for my own gain. Also, you're in no position to make demands. We are a team of psychics and you're just a fighting type. We have the advantage."

Aaron just growled and activated his Bone Rush, preparing for battle.

Mal and his partner's eyes glow blue as they prepare as well.

Start Battle Music

Sirius charged at the psychic Pokemon, quickly attacking with his Bone Rush move. The Malamar saw this coming and dodge all of his strikes, he grinned and used a Psybeam against the aura Pokemon. Acting quickly, Sirius spun his Bone Rush staff in front of him like a fan. It reflected the attack back at Mal who took the blunt of the attack but didn't affect him at all due to his dark typing. Sirius then let out a huge Dragon Pulse , but Mal made half a dozen copies of himself with Double Teambefore hitting Sirius with Thunderbolt. The Lucario closed his eyes to concentrate and sensed the aura of the true Mal and threw a Aura Sphere at him. They then ran at each other, Mal with Psycho Cut and Sir Sirius with Metal Claw. At the last minute, the Lucario ducked and hit his opponent with a Metal Claw uppercut. Mal then rose up into the air and used Psychic to lift Sirius up with him before throwing him back to the ground, but before he could do it again he was faced with the unbearable Metal Sound coming from the spot where he had thrown his enemy. Once he cleared his head he was knocked out of the sky by a Shadow Ball. The smoke on the ground showed Sir Sirius standing upright, who cracked his neck before rushing his enemy.

Meanwhile, Resia jumped away to avoid the attacks of Enigma and Pend, the former of which shot a Hidden Power at her, causing the Delphox to slam into a wall. She growled before she became completely covered in her own flames, and went for the Beheeyem at a blinding speed, but was met with Pend and his Zen Headbutt. The two clashed before they both jumped back. They both went in with the same attack of Zen Headbutt, but she engulfed them both in her Mystical Fire. Pend brought his hands together for a Focus Blast, while Resia responded with Signal Beam. The two attacks caused a small explosion causing the area they were in to become with smoke. The Hypno and Beheeyem looked around to find their foe, and saw a silhouette of their target. They instantly fired a Shadow Ball and Charge Beam only to find nothing there. Their eyes widened as they were hit by a Flamethrower. They were about to retaliate when they saw their leader getting hit by a barrage of Extreme Speedattacks.

Sirius charged at the psychic type Pokemon, but was intercepted by Enigma and Pend.

'Dammit! How could I have forgotten about the other two?!' The Lucario grunted.

"You will desist in harming our leader." Enigma ordered monotonously as he and Pend charged up a Charge Beam and Focus Blast. Mal grinned as he gave his partners a nod; the two Pokemon launched their attacks at the Lucario. Sirius was prepared to counter both attacks; however, two different colored shields appeared around him and protected him from the attack. He looked at the source to where it came from to find the two ponies he just seen earlier, Shining Armor and Cadence.

"Three against one? That's hardly fair..." Shining Armor said. Sirius looked at the unicorn and then at the Alicorn, soon Resia joined him as well.

"Now it's four against three.... You better quit while you're ahead Mal." Resia warned. Mal growled, but knew that they were right, not to mention the remaining guards would have joined in too. He then began to glow along with his teammates, one of the Bisharp guards noticed that this is the move called Teleport.

"He's planning to escape!" One of them announced, but it was too late. As soon as that sentence was finished, they were already gone. Sirius growled at this and ordered some of the guards to clean up the mess and take in the green downed mare that the so called rescue team attack attacked. Shining Armor, meanwhile, had ordered the rest of Lively Town's residents to go back into their daily activities. He turned to the Lucario and smiled at him. Sirius smiled back and decided to thank him.

"Thanks for saving my butt back there, uh...What is your name?" Asked Sirius

"Shining---Shining Armor and this is my wife, Cadence." He introduced. Cadence walked up to the two Pokemon and bowed to them.

"It is nice to meet you, Sir Sirius the Legend, Bellator Number 1# and.... I am sorry, What is your name?" Cadence asked the Delphox. She smiled and shook the princess of love's hoof.

"My name is Resia. I am Sirius's teammate. It's nice to meet you too." Resia replied. Cadence smiled and then gained a serious look on her face and turned to Sirius.

"What is going to happen to that mare? Is she going to be alright?" She asked.

Sirius smiled at her concern and nodded. "Do not worry, she'll just be taken into questioning. After she has answered all of our questions; she's free to go. We just need to know her side of the story and what went down."

12 minutes later

The green mare had found herself in a white room with a same colored table. Across the table, was a Bisharp, a Lucario and two royal guards. One of the guards she noticed was Shining Armor. The mare suddenly felt scared, thinking she was going to be thrown in jail or even worse. Being a Lucario can allow you to feel other creature's auras, and her aura right now radiated fear. Sirius decided to take a more gentle approach and gave her a small smile.

"Relax. If you are wondering if you would be thrown in jail. You're not. You have done absolutely nothing wrong." Sirius said.

This seemed to calm the mare's nerves as she took a deep breath.

"We just want you to answer some questions for us ok?" Shining Armor added. The mare nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself once more.

"Let's start with your name. Who are you and what happened?" Asked Sirius

"Well, My name is Spring Meadow and as you know, I was attacked by those three Pokemon. What had happened before all of this was I was planning to leave the town to go live in a place called Sariwa Village. I heard it's peaceful village and not much of a bustling town. Don't get me wrong, this place is nice...but it isn't me." She apologized.

Sirius and Shining Armor chuckled at that, knowing exactly how she felt. After sharing a laugh, Spring decided to continue her story.

"I was walking through the streets and I saw the three Pokemon, chatting among themselves. I decided to go ask for directions to the nearest train station. They said that they would lead me to the train station, however, they only lead me to a dark alley. I knew something was up, but I just didn't want to believe it. My thoughts were true when they attacked me and demanded my bits---I mean, Poke. Sorry. Anyways, I try to fend them off myself, but I wasn't... strong enough.... I... I lost them and I Poke along with the rest of my belongings were stolen." She finished as tears started to come out of her eyes. Sirius and Shining Armor took all the information in and nodded to themselves.

"Alright Ms. Spring. Just step out of this room and we will get everything situated. Giving you some poke to move out and an ID."Sirius directed.

Spring nodded with tears streaming down her face, smiling. "Thank you so much sir." The guards had let her out of the room and Shining and Sirius followed, they turned to see the girls Resia and Cadence is standing there. The two walked up to their partners and gave them a smile.

"So how did it go?" Asked Cadence.

"It went well. Her name is Spring Meadow and she was robbed and attacked by those three Pokemon. She was trying to leave Lively Town to live in a place much quieter." Sirius informed to the princess of love.

Resia nodded while Cadence gasped at this. "She was tricked or something?" Resia asked.

Shining Armor replied "Yeah. She went up to them and asked for directions to the nearest train station. They had said they would help, lead her into a dark alley and had attacked and robbed her. Then that's when we heard her scream."

Resia and Cadence absorb the information in. They pray that she'll be alright. Then, a thought came to Shining Armor, he remembered that Aaron had said that move that Mal was using is forbidden.

"Hey, Sir Sirius? You mentioned earlier that Mal used a forbidden move called.... Hypnosis was it?... What do you mean? Why is it forbidden?" Asked Shining Armor.

Sirius and Resia looked at each other and sighed. He looked at Shining Armor and spoke. "A long time ago, Lady Xerneas declared for ten certain moves to be forbidden to use due to their power and abilities. Use one of these moves and you could end up in the dungeon for about ten years time and stripped from using your Pokemon powers."

Cadence and Shining gulped at this, it was a good thing they were not Pokemon, so it hasn't really applied to them. But it did scare them a bit, back in Equestria the most anyone could stay in the dungeon was six months. On the Water Continent, However; it's ten years, and that's for using an illegal move. If that's what you can get for using something illegal, they hated to know what the penalty for murder was. Cadence and Shining soon regain themselves and asked what were the other nine illegal moves that were forbidden to use.

"Oh...let's see then....Fissure, Zap Cannon, Dark Void, Metronome, Oblivion Wing, Curse, Sheer Cold, Magma Storm and Gastro Acid. These plus Hypnosis are the moves no Pokemon should ever use--unless they want to spend ten years in the dungeon of course." Resia said with a slight smirk on her face. Shining Armor and Cadence took all the information in, they would have to be careful and keep a look out on certain Pokemon that will use these techniques. Who knows what kind of destruction it could bring. A thought popped into Shining's mind as he looked at the two Pokemon.

"Sir Sirius? Resia? Where did you two come from? Are you two from the six major continents?"

Sirius smiled and shook his head. "No. I'm from a place called Cheol Town in the Iron Continent. The Iron Continent is a small continent that is south of the Sand Continent. The continent is ruled by Registeel." He informed. "And Resia is from Yeol Town in the Flame Continent. Like the Iron Continent, it is a small place. Only it is north of the Water Continent and it is ruled by Entei."

This confused Cadence and her husband a bit. 'I thought there were only 6 continents?' She wondered.

"Small continents? How many continents are there in the world?" Shining asked.

Sirius smiled and explain to the prince. "There are 12 continents in total. The first 6 are the ones you had already known about. The other six are the Thunder Continent which is ruled by Raikou. The Arcane Continent which is ruled by Cresselia. The Haze Continent is ruled by Suicune. Flame Continent is ruled by Entei and the Iron Continent is ruled by Registeel."

Cadence nodded at this information until she realized he only mentioned five continents.

"Wait? What about the sixth one?"

Sirius shrugged. "That's the thing. This continent. The Mystery Continent. We really don't know much about. It's a deserted place. Not many Pokemon go there."

Meanwhile, in Serene Village. Derpy walked down the stairs of her new home to get some breakfast. There, at the table already was Time Turner or Doctor as she likes to call him reading a newspaper and eating buttered toast. She smiled and trotted towards him, giving him a kiss on the check. Doctor smiled and put his newspaper down.

"Ah, morning Derpy. I see that you're awake." He greeted with a smile.

"Morning Doctor. Wow, it's odd. This new world I mean...and that's saying something since I'm the 'Queen of Odd' " She joked with a chuckle. Doctor nodded and looked out a nearby window. There he saw few Pokemon and Ponies going to their new jobs or just simply taking a walk. It was amazing that how quickly some ponies were adapting to the place. But he knew there was bound to be conflict soon. He sighed and looked at his wife who is now eating a Muffin.

"I suppose we should get Dinky in the Serene Village Pokemon School too, since her old one got blown up." He said.

"I agree, Dinky does need to go back to school. But I am not sure though---since the school here is for Pokemon. What will they learn? More importantly, what would Ms. Cheerilee would do about the school....it is her special talent after all." Doctor said to himself.

Derpy heard him speak and nodded "I am sure everything will be resolved....Oh! Speaking of jobs. I'm going to be really busy today...so could you take Dinky to school to get her registered? We live in this odd but nice community.... it'll be best if we do it now than later right?"

Doctor nodded with a smile. "Of course Muffin, I'll do that as soon as I finish eating my breakfast. You should go though, If I remember correctly, there's a post office down the street... maybe you could be mailpony again?" He suggested.

The gray pegasus golden eyes widen as she realized this, she nodded and bolted out the door, while the Doctor chuckled at this.

'Well, time to wake up Dinky and Sparkler...' He thought.

Speaking of the pony, Cheerilee is currently walking towards an opening field that had some desks and chairs. There was also a chalkboard that was hanging off of a branch of a cut tree in front of the rows of desks. There was also a desk for the teachers who will teach the class. Next to the row of desks and chairs was a board that displayed the classwork and homework. She also notices three buildings and some stairs too. Cheerilee gulped and walked up to the building on the left that read 'Principal's Office'. She is, to say; incredibly nervous actually. This isn't just a school, but a school for Pokemon, a species she knows absolutely nothing about. But that didn't stop her, she needed this career. Teaching children is her life, her passion and destiny, as it's all in her cutie mark.

"Well, Here goes nothing." She said to herself as she walked into the building. What she saw was some a room with an office desk and large stone ponds with mossy rocks which surrounded the room. There also seems to be a Pokemon whose reading a newspaper and listening to a radio. The Pokemon looked similar to a monkey and was light blue with odd styled hair. Cheerilee also heard what the radio had said. Something about her fellow ponies and other species arriving in the Pokemon World.

"Are they aliens coming to take over our planet or are they new friends coming to greet us?" One of the talk questioned

She heard some chuckling from the radio as the host made that joke. Cheerilee rolled her eyes and went in to hear more.

"Well, right now, we have a special guest with us today. He is what is known as a changeling from the Grass Continent. We are here to answer a few questions." The host announced. Cheerilee blocked out the rest and turned to notice that the Pokemon was staring at her, She then suddenly became embarrassed and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh.. Sorry about intruding in here." She apologized.

The Pokemon smiled and waved at her. Cheerilee nervously looked to the side, trying to avoid eye contact and the awkwardness that is presented. The Pokemon chuckled and finally spoke to her, giving the mare his full attention.

"Sorry about that, I got a little distracted and didn't see you come in. I am Mercury, I am a Simipour and the Principal of the Serene Village Pokemon School. You must be Ms. Cheerilee." Mercury guessed.

This surprised the mare and she nodded her head in confirmation. "Yes... but how do you know that?" She asked.

Mercury chuckled and replied. "Yesterday, a mare by the name of Milano Mash came in yesterday and introduced herself. She told me about the school back in Equestria, you and all the wonderful good heart children in there. You sound like an amazing teacher, Ms. Cheerilee."

Cheerilee blushed at the praise and smiled "Oh, you..." But then she remembered why she came here. "Oh, you see--Principal Mercury... I came here for a request. I...I want to become a teacher here. You see, teaching isn't just my career. It's a passion and my life... and I-" Her speech was interrupted by the chuckling Pokemon.

Cheerilee became irritated and glared at the offending Pokemon. "And what is so funny?!" The Simipour ceased his chuckling and looked at the pony.

"It's funny to me because I was going to come and try to look for you and talk about the job. You could teach with the other teachers who work here." He suggested with a smile.

"You mean collaborative teaching?"

"Yeah! That! Mr. Leek can teach the ponies all about Pokemon and you can teach the Pokemon all about ponies? Whaddya say?" He suggested. Cheerilee thought about it. She would be learning more about Pokemon from the other teachers that are teaching the ponies. She smiled and nodded.

"Sure. Why not. But don't you think the classroom has..... a few desk... the fillies and colts who will be attending will be quite a lot." She replied. Mercury looked at the classroom outside and notice there are only fifty desk tables and chairs in the room. He had seen Cheerilee's point, it could be crowded. However, He had an idea and He'll need her help to do it.

"I have more desk in the storage room in Vice Principal Watcher's office. We could use those desks there." He replied.

Cheerilee nodded and smiled "Alright. Let's get to it."

Meanwhile, with Derpy, the gray Pegasus was walking down the street to see the Pelipper Post Office. Like the Doctor had said, she could score a job as a mailmare for the Water Continent. She just hopes she doesn't screw up and her boss will be lenient towards her. There she was, standing right in front of the building. She examines the building and noticed it is shaped like a Pelipper. She walked in and had seen many Pokemon most of them were birdlike and others were dragons. Derpy smiled and walked up to the counter where she saw a Pelipper doing some work. The Pelipper noticed her and smiled.

"Why hello there, Miss. How can I help you?" He asked.

"Yeah. I wanted to become a mail pony here? You see, I originally delivered mail back in Ponyville." She informed.

Before the Pelipper could reply, a dragon Pokemon with red lens came up to her and began to examine her. "Tsk..are you sure you're capable of delivering? You won't be just delivering mail in Serene Village. You will also be delivering mail all around the Water Continent."

Derpy put on a challenging grin and stomped her hoof. "You know it!"

"You'll also have to go through harsh blizzards, thunderstorms and scary sandstorms to deliver packages as well? It's alright if you wanna chicken out." The dragon Pokemon said, trying to scare the Pegasus. However, what the Pokemon didn't know was that Derpy already had experience in those types of situations. Not to mention, the greatest mailmare in the history of ever.

"I already had experience in that area. I can handle it." She retorted

Before the Pokemon could reply back, The Pelipper decided to break it up before it escalated. He turned and glared at the Flygon and told her to get back to work.

"Yes Mr. Pete." She grumbled as she left the office. He sighed and shook his head and smiled at the gray Pegasus, apologizing for that minor altercation.

"Oh that's alright. Not the first time that somepony didn't believe in my skills." She chuckled, but soon her eyes widen as she saw what had caught her eye. There, sitting at the ride side of her and was a plate of fresh baked muffins. She licked her lips and stared at the delicious treats. Mr. Pete had noticed and begin to chuckle.

"I see you like muffins. They're usually for mailers, something to start their day since they would have work early in the morn-"

"And they're free?!"

"I'm sorry?"

"Muffins?! FREE?!?!"

"I, uh... Yes?"

"YES!!! MUFFINS!!!" Derpy yelled out as she caught the attention of the Pokemon in the office. Some were conversing about what just transpired.

"I was not ready for today." An Altaria spoke.

"I don't think any of us were." Replied a Noctowl.

Mr. Pete chuckled sheepishly and eventually calmed the mare down, smiling at her. He did love her energy, just what the dull office needed

Vinyl and Octavia are now staying in their homes, moving things around the house. They had only managed to take so much stuff since the whole end of the world disaster. Octavia sighed as she moved her cello near the stairs, she'll admit though. Their old house was so much better and Vinyl does seem to like it.

"Yo Tavi! Come in here real quick!" Called out the DJ. Octavia sighed and walked upstairs to find the DJ rummaging through her stuff like a madmare. She raised an eyebrow at her roommates actions and sighed.

"What is the matter, Vinyl?" She asked.

"What's the matter?! WHAT'S THE MATTER!? I LOST MY SHADES THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER!?!?" She yelled.

Octavia's eyes widen at this and tried to calm her best friend down, but to no avail.

"What am I going to do?!" Vinyl asked herself.

Octavia thought to herself and then, suddenly an idea came. "We have 3000 bits each... I mean Poke right? Well, let's just buy some new shades for you down in Treasure City? I could also use some new musical records---since my old ones were destroyed."

Vinyl thought to herself and nodded, at the bright side she'll be gaining some new shades. But at the bad side, she'll be replacing her old ones. She sighed and smiled, best not to dwell in the past.

'Better find me some rockin' shades in that city.'

The next day had arrived quickly and it was already the afternoon. Twilight is currently sitting on a stool in the cafe called, Spinda's Cafe. She was a bit surprised that her friend, Pinkie is now working here, along with the Cakes. She watched her pink friend, delivering drinks and special dishes to each table. She looked around the cafe and notices the Pokemon and Ponies together and eating, possibly conversing about themselves. She then turned around fully and noticed her friends and new friends sitting with each other, talking. There was Spike of course, her new friends Artemis and Tusk, Applejack and her friend Amaterasu, Rarity, Velvet, Fluttershy, Capricorn, Valentine and Rainbow Dash. Her friend, Latias was nowhere to be found, probably at the Wigglytuff Guild. Twilight smiled as Pinkie had delivered her order.

"Here ya go Twilight, One cup of Oran berry juice with a plate of pink sweet poffins! I had tried the poffins before and they are GOOOOOOD!! You'll love them Twilight!" Pinkie said as she handed over the plate confectioneries to Twilight.

"You should also taste the chocolate ones. Now those are even more delicious. HEY! MR. ALAKANOCHI?! Can I take a break and sit with my friends now?"

"Yeah! Mr. Alakanochi!" Valentine teased.

The Spinda rolled his spiral dizzy eyes and nodded. "It's Mr. Alonsa and yes you may, Pinkie. I would never keep you away from your friends." The pink pony cheered and rushed to her friends.

'That pony could never say my name right.' Spinda thought with a chuckle.

The two mares walked or rather hopped in Pinkie's case to the table of their friends. Twilight sat next to Artemis while Pinkie sat next Valentine, the table was almost full and only had room for one more. Right now, the conversation the bundle of friends were having was about occasional tournaments that happen in the Pokemon World. How most Pokemon like to battle for sport and test their strength.

"So let me get this straight. Pokemon enjoy fighting just to prove how strong they are? Even though it could hurt them pretty bad?! That's rather barbaric if you ask me." Rarity exclaimed.

"I agree..."Fluttershy replied.

Now hold on...fighting is in our blood. So while we do love a challenge, we also fight for justice and to protect those who are precious to us. If you want to blame on the barbaric ones. Blame the Saeva Pokemon." Artemis said.

This caught Twilight's attention.

'Saeva Pokemon? Is that another type I don't know about?'

"Artemis? What are Saeva Pokemon? Are they a new type of Pokemon?"

Amaterasu shook his head and looked at the princess of friendship. "No. Saeva; which means 'savage' in Latin. They are a group of bad Pokemon who like to do bad things and cause nothing but destruction. So watched out for them."

The ponies nodded and continued eating their food until Rainbow Dash spoke up. She had noticed her friend, Latias wasn't present. Where is that Pokemon? She probably was still hanging around in the Adventure Union doing some minor missions or something. She wondered what kind of missions she was getting. However, thoughts of her were interrupted when said Pokemon burst through the doors of the Spinda Cafe.

"Oh, there she is----Yo! Latias! Where ya been?! I was looking all over for you. Ya haven't bailed out on me, eh?"

Latias looked excited, really excited. She rushed towards Rainbow and pulled her into a big hug.

"Eh? What's with the hug?"

"Guess what?"

"What?"

"Blaziken Butt! But seriously, I was checking our mail when I heard a cry from a distressed Azumarill."

-Flashback-

The eon Pokemon was reading through the mail of Rainbow's new home. Latias now stayed with the prismatic pony along with her little adopted sister, Scootaloo. Scootaloo seemed to like her as well, even going so far as giving her an affectionate nickname which is 'Little Torchic'. Right now the mail was nothing but welcoming letters to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo. She was hoping for a distress Pokemon to send in some SOS mail. She sighed was just about to give up when she heard cries of help. Looking to her left, she sees a crying Azumarill calls for the help of a rescue team.

"Please! Anybody?! Can Anybody help me out here!? Please....." She called out.

'I wonder what's her problem? She's obviously in trouble.' Wondered Latias.

The eon Pokemon flew towards the sad looking water-type Pokemon and asked her what is wrong.

"I lost my little sister, Mizu somewhere in the Drilbur Coal Mine . You see, we were exploring the mine, trying to find some scales to cure our sick mother. But then, we were attacked by a Gabite and it took my little sister, I managed to escape but my sister is still in there. I wanted to go up there on my own---but I couldn't find her anywhere in the mine. I even tried to ask the rescue teams of the Adventure Union. However, no luck as they were all too busy doing their own missions. I really wish there was a rescue team available. I'll pay them anything, I don't care how much, I just want my little sister back." She sobbed.

Latias felt sad for her and place her claws on the Azumarill's shoulders. She gave determined look and smile at the Pokemon.

"Don't worry friend, I'll take the mission." Latias replied.

This shocked the Azumarill, She'll do it?! She'll really save her little sister, Mizu?! As if reading her mind, Latias had answered her question. The psychic-type Pokemon smiled at the Azumarill and placed her claws on her shoulders with a determined look on her face.

"I'll do it!"

"W-What?"

"I said. I'll do. It must be terrible, not being able to help out your little sister? Well, don't you worry. Me and my pal, Rainbow Dash will find her and bring her home. We are a rescue team known as 'The Mist Rainbooms.' "

Azumarill wiped her tears and looked at the eon Pokemon in pure happiness. This 'Rainbow Dash' must of been a pony friend of hers. She heard about the odd creatures that came from a distant planet and what had happened to said planet. To her, the creatures seem nice and friendly, however, some are cautious and already want the creatures of Equus gone, someone like Mr. Paladin. She looked at the determined Latias and nodded, giving her a hopeful smile.

"Okay. Please save my sister---uh... what is your name?" She asked

"My name is Latias. And don't worry, we will. Just stay here, I'll go get my friend Rainbow and tell her the news." She ordered as she dashed off to go find the rainbow pony.

-Flashback-

"No way!" Rainbow shouted.

"It's true. And she'll be trapped there forever if we don't do something about it." Latias said hastily.

Rainbow leaped off her seat and jumped right in front of the eon Pokemon with a determined grinned plastered on her face.

"What kind of pony would I be to refuse help like that, I'm Rainbow Dash---one of the greatest heroes in Equestria! And soon, the Pokemon world." She boasted. Twilight, Rarity and Applejack just rolled their eyes at how presumptuous their friend can be. But then they realized something, Rainbow and Latias can't go out there on their own. They had to help them get Mizu back.

"Alright, Lati. Lead the way." Rainbow ordered. Before the Pokemon and Pony could leave the cave, however, Twilight and Applejack had stopped them from leaving.

"Now, hold on just a minute, Sugarcubes. We are comin' witcha." Applejack announced. Twilight nods at that.

Latias was about to reply, but Amaterasu and Artemis beat her to the punch.

"Sorry, all of you can't. Only Latias and Rainbow are allowed to go." Amaterasu replied.

"And why the hay not?!" Both Applejack and Rainbow demanded. Feeling a bit angry that they all can't go together.

"Well... for 1. Only four members of a rescue team are allowed to be in dungeons. This is because of the dungeons won't be so over crowded and your chances of getting lost are decreased significantly. And finally, for 2. you'll have to be a member of that rescue team and have some training under your built to join them. I'm sorry girls. It's the law." The Absol apologized.

The mane six were at a loss for words. They simply could not believe that they were not allowed to help their friend in this kind of mission. What if she gets hurt or even worse?

However, soon after; Rainbow grinned and looked at her friends. They can trust her.

"Don't worry girls. Me and Latias can handle this easily. Trust me." She winked.

The mane five sighed and told the two to be careful and wished the rescuers good luck.

'Ya'll better come back, Ok.' Applejack demanded.

Rainbow Dash and Latias are currently talking to the Azumarill about the situation at hand. She was surprised that she was right about Latias' partner. She already liked the mare's courage and kindness, willing to help out and bring Mizu back safely so they could cure their sick mother. The Azumarill hugged the mare and Latias tightly, crying tears of joy.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"No problem. I also didn't catch your name." Latias said.

"Umi. It's Umi." She smiled as she wiped her tears. "You two better get going. Please save my little sister, I beg you." She pleaded.

"You can count on us." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Yeah. We won't let you down! That's a promise!" Latias added.

Latias and Rainbow Dash stood at an opening that was on the other side of the village. The two had packed up 3 Pecha berries, 3 Oran berries, Spikes, Apples and an Escape Orb, just in case. They looked at each other and nodded to themselves, this will be their first mission so they have to give it their all.

"You ready?" Asked Latias.

"I was born ready!" Rainbow replied with a challenging grin.

The two friends put on determined faces and walked down the dirt road ready for the challenge that awaits them.

'Don't worry Mizu, We're coming to help.' Latias vowed, not aware of the upcoming dangerous that awaits them ahead.

The two rescuers had found themselves in front of the Drilbur Coal Mine in the span of 10 minutes. The trip wasn't long and it certainly wasn't challenging, which disappointed a certain prismatic pony. She had hoped the coal mine was more challenging than the trip. Right now, the girls had noticed the mine was surrounded by worker miners. The miners appeared to be a mole-like creatures with blue streaks on their bodies. They also wore mine helmets too. This is obviously the place they're looking for.

"This the place?" Rainbow asked the eon Pokemon.

Latias nodded in confirmation. The two girls analyzed the mine, wondering how they're going to get inside without being a seen, or causing a scene. They couldn't just sit there and waste time. They had a little Pokemon to save after all. The two nodded and made themselves known to the working Drilburs.

The mole-like Pokemon noticed this and immediately halted them.

"Hey! You can't enter this mine! *wibble*" The Drilbur announced.

Rainbow growled and stamped her hoof.

"Why not! We need to save a Pokemon. She's trapped and all alone with some creepy Gabite!" She replied. The Drilbur were shocked to hear this which kind of surprised Latias a bit.

"Wait a second. You guys have known that there is a little Azurill trapped in the mine and being held captive by a Gabite, right?" Latias questioned.

The Drilbur sweat dropped and gulped. "W-We didn't pay attention. We were busy snacking during our break. *wibble* *wibble*"

Both Latias and Rainbow Dash just sweat dropped at their confession. The two just rolled their eyes and decided to walk inside the mine while they comically cry in shame.

'So much for hard workers. I'm surprised they still have their jobs.' Thought Rainbow.

Minutes had passed as the two explorers had reached a two-way passage. One way is barred with what appears to be construction roadblocks. The two explorers looked at both passage ways, trying to figure out which way Mizu could be.

"We could always take the one on the right." Rainbow suggested

Latias shook her head. "No. I feel like going through there would lead us nowhere. If any place, I would say she is at the one passage on the left."

This confused the prismatic mare, how can she be so sure. As if reading her mind, Latias responded.

"I just have a feeling she's over the right side. We better get going, C'mon."

Rainbow nodded, following the eon Pokemon into the dark path. The two never noticed that they were being watched by a mysterious figure from behind the two rescuers. The figure smirked and walked the other way.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the mine, laid Mizu who was whimpering on a pile of red stones. The Gabite who grinned at the whimpering Azurill only made her feel more frightened.

'I wanna go home. I miss my sister and my mommy. I'm scared.' Cried Mizu.

This whimpering irritating the Gabite as he roared at her to shut her up. The Azurill shook in fear, silently crying and whimpered at the towering Gabite.

"Shut your little mouth." He hissed.

"W-What do you plan to-to do with me?"

The Gabite chuckled darkly and grinned at the little Pokemon. He had no intention of harming the little Pokemon. However, he will keep her hostage.

"Don't you worry your pretty little head." He spoke. The little Azurill had to know why is he doing this? Why her? Why kidnap her and hold her hostage? What could he possibly gain from all this. As if reading her mind, he answered her question.

"You're probably wondering your small mind, why am I doing this?" He guessed.

There was silence, but she didn't need to speak. He knew he was right.

"It's about of my damn scales." He growled in irritation. Over and over, an explorer would roll over here; beat him up and not only take his precious red stones, but his scales too. The scales that he grows on his body. Eventually he got sick of the treatment and decided to fight back. He refused to be everyone's punching-bag. It ends, today. He told the little Azurill everything he went through. The torment, the beatings and takings of his scales and stones. The Gabite sighed deeply, clearly upset that this is happening.

'I just want the torment to end.'

Latias and Rainbow traveled down further into the mine, feeling that the two rescuers were getting closer and closer. Right now, the two rescuers were chatting about Equestria and the Pokemon World again. They exchanged information about said worlds, the opponents, they had faced and the friends that they had met along the way. However, their conversation stopped when the two girls spotted a downed Ponyta.

"Oh my god! Are you alright?!" Latias called out as she rushed to the down fire type. Rainbow followed suit and fed the Pokemon an Oran berry. The Ponyta chewed and swallowed the treat, restoring her health back to 100%.

"T-Thank you." She said sincerely. She looked at the legendary and Pegasus and bowed her head in politeness. "Forgive me, My name is Rubira. I am a Ponyta. It's nice to meet you both."

Rainbow smiled and looked at the Ponyta's flames. "Whoa! That's awesome! Your flaming mane and tail, I mean. I'm Rainbow Dash, by the way. This is my friend, Latias. We're Team Mist Rainbooms."

Rubira smiled and thanked Rainbow for the compliment. Latias then asked what the Pokemon was doing here and what had happened.

"You see, I'm an explorer and I wanted to explore some red stones. However, I was attacked by a Gabite! I managed to escape and I had fainted here. If it wasn't for you, who knows what might have happened?"

Rainbow growled at this and stamped her hoof. "First, he kidnaps an innocent Pokemon! Now he's attacking others! He better hope he doesn't see me!"

Latias agreed. "Yeah! I second that. Rubira, can you lead us the way. We don't want to get lost."

"Sure. Follow me." The Ponyta instructed.

Meanwhile, in the house of Amaterasu and the Apple Family. Applejack was very nervous for her friend and desperately wanted to know for sure. 100% sure that the prismatic mare was going to be alright. She would never let her go into the Everfree forest alone, so she and Latias goes into a mine where a big scary dragon lives could also be crucial. She just couldn't sit around anymore. A familiar voice interrupts her thoughts, making the apple mare turn around to find the source. It turns out to be Amaterasu.

"AT? Ah'm sorry. Ah, just. Ah, just can't stand around anymore. Ah, I gotta get there and save mah friend!" Applejack declared.

Amaterasu nodded at this and walked up to the mare. "I normally don't break the rules, but how bout we head out and save her now. She could also need backup."

Applejack's smile widens as she practically threw herself at the Arcanine. "Thank ya! Thank ya, AT!"

"Yeah! We better pack up! After that we'll get Artemis, Twilight, Rarity and Capricorn." He instructed.

"You got it!" Applejack agreed.

The three girls traveled further down the mine only stopping at a large open space which had a lot of items. Tiny Reviver Seeds, Guiding Wands, blast seeds and even apples. It was as if the three had hit jackpot. Rainbow rushed into the open area, gazing at the treasure with a greedy look.

"Look at this stuff! We'll be able to save Mizu with this stuff, now. We'll also be able to beat that clod, Gabite!" Rainbow declared. Latias, however, didn't share the same enthusiasm as her best friend. She looked worried and cautious.

'Wait a second. Lots of items in one room. Big open space. Seemingly no traps.' She reviewed. That's when it hit her. Her eyes widen she finally put the pieces together.

'Oh no...'

"RAINBOW! GET OUT OF THERE! IT'S A MONSTER HOUSE!!" Latias warned. But it was too late, suddenly; Pokemon began to fall from the ceiling glaring menacingly at the Pony.

"W-What the hell?!" Rainbow gasped in surprised. However, she got into a fighting stance and scarped the dirt with her hoof, ready for battle. Latias flew over while carrying Rubira to join the battle.

"Darn! I fell for the trap!" Rainbow cursed. Suddenly the two girls heard giggling from behind them. It was--Rubira?

"Rubira!? You set this up?!" Latias growled. She couldn't believe this. The Pokemon they had helped betrayed them. The Ponyta chuckled darkly and nodded.

"Yes. You see. While you were chatting along with that Azumarill back in Serene Village. You were being spied by one of the Drilbur. The Drilbur then knew you would come over to rescue that Azurill to save her. So they pretended to have not noticed you two sneaking in. I then got to see what kind of Pokemon we would be dealing with. I'll say, I was surprised that we are dealing with one of the ponies already." The Ponyta grinned, pointing at the now pissed off Pegasus.

"After that, I pretended to be downed and hurt to lure you two into a monster house. I didn't think you two would have trusted me right away." She laughed. This further angered the two girls. Latias glared daggers at the Ponyta and asked a simple question.

"Why? Why did you do it? What motive is there?" She demanded. Right now, Both Latias and Rainbow wanted to strangle the Pokemon.

The Ponyta cackled and gave the two girls a crazed look. "To be 100% Bellator. I have been doing this for six months now and no one has suspected a thing. I lure newbies into a monster house. They get defeated and their items taken, including their badge. I steal their missions and claim their fame and glory. Yet, I haven't been noticed by Magnus. However, after I beat that poor Gabite senseless and steal the spotlight once again. I'll become a Bellator and be the greatest rescuer in history."

"You're insane!" Rainbow commented.

Rubira just rolls her eyes and walks off. "Whatever. Boys! You can have fun with them now." She cackled as she ran off. The two girls glared daggers at the attacking group of Pokemon, ready for the battle of their lifetime. Latias had one insult she could think of for the Ponyta. She muttered bitterly at the group of Pokemon.

"That bitch."
