Sand... Sand as far as I can see. After walking though the sandy hills and the heat of the cruel sun on me, my moist skin has been dried and the slime gone from my chin and arms as I stand now on this ledge on the mountain to see that there is no green of life as far as I can see. After falling to my butt sitting, I look down as tears of green goo falls down my cheeks at knowing I'm alone here with no one.

After a while of I don't know how long of crying, I open my eyes to see the yellow box case still hanging around my shoulder, well the top is yellow but the bottom is a cream white and the same color button on the top half that will open it if pushed. 'Hmm after waking up down there I never did open it it see what was inside it after buying it from the nice but creepy salesman at the....' blinks once. 'Hmm I forget now, and who I was before then... I hope that's not going to be bad for me later on.'

After shaking my head a little I see blue near my neck, looking more down I see a blue scarf around it. Lifting my arms I see pink three stub like fingers on each arm as I gently wiggle them. Looking over my new body I see that most of me is pink but my underside is lavender, my thick long tail as three green circles on both sides in the middle and I pulling them to feel and look at, I have two thick long tentacle like appendages that run back and curl up in a spiral at the end and two more smaller ones in front of them. Taking this all in, I now know what I am! I'm a Pokémon! And one I like so much that I start to smile to myself as I feel a little happier as say it out loud.

"Goodra!"

My voice sounds just like one and sounds a little bubbly in nature. Giggling to myself that means on my neck is another two green circles on both sides as well. When looking back over the dead land before me the smile slowly disappeared as the sadness was getting to me again. Shaking my head fast and hard, I push those lonely thoughts down as I look again out to the world around me to look for something else to do besides that.

As I was looking around quietly, something caught my eye flying away, it was hard to tell for sure, the hair was like red sand. And a white body. When it disappeared over the mountain far away from me and my new lone mountain. Yes! This be mine now for now. It may have been flying Northern direction, shaking my head sadly as that was the only sign of life now gone.

After looking around a bit more at this dust ball, something comes to my mind as I think it over now. 'Hmm it couldn't hurt to not try, and if it works I know for a fact that I have powers and my idea could help me feel better for my skin and maybe jump start the land and bring some life here. And green food to much on. I was fiddling with the idea of my own garden, now I can start working on it now on a larger scale. As I see this is all mine now and no one around to say other wise, and if so, I won't go with out fighting for this land as it's mine!' 

Closing my eyes, I look in myself as best I can looking for something. Silly as it may sound, I could feel it, it was a little light in me. It felt timed as it felt me seeing it, but I could feel it reach out to me as I do did. When we touched, I could feel warm and happy, and feeling more pumped for anything before now. It know what I was thinking and I could feel it showing me what I needed to do to get started, and it was like the very land was looking to me waiting for my next move and wanted to help as well. With my hands to my chest as I could feel that I'm not so alone after all. With that I focused on what I wanted to do, leaning my head back so it was looking to the sky with closed eyes and my mouth open a little as I feel a power grown there with a feeling of cool wetness. As it felt ready, I released my hold on it and felt it kick back launching up high. 

And then I heard the rumble of thunder over me and a drop of water hit my forehead. Opening my eyes smiling, I just did Rain Dance. And the dark clouds spread far away from my mountain and begin the raining down on everything to be see, I felt my body get better from the down pour and my skin looking better and the goo come back where it should be. Then I felt it happen! The land before me rumbled as I felt it in me the land change with the waters of life.

Rolling green fields of grass and trees growing up around and far, and so did different sizes of body of waters and with them rivers and steams. It was so beautiful watching it all happen before me as I hold my mouth crying at such beauty of nature at work and maybe some magic. As the rain slowed down in it's down pour, the air around me was getting colder and little flakes of white flew by, I was starting to shiver from it all but smiled all the same. Snow was starting to build up here to be a proper looking mountain should be with this much green around it. With that in mind, I got up and started to head back down the mountain at a steady pace my legs would let me as I watch the forest grow bigger and the open fields and flowers grow in many colors, and some areas that looked like swamps. As I was still heading down to look around my new garden, hehehe. I looked back down to the box that I know as the tool box of a Pokémon Rescue Team to use for when out on work, but I see no need to be doing that as I am the only one here and there is no trouble. But I open it to take a look at what is hidden in.

Pulling it up and holding it in one hand and the other one to push the button to lift the led, I find a set of dices together that could be TM's! But I will look at them later as the food and some scarfs are inside it neatly placed for space. But the box is a little deceiving at first look, the inside is a little deeper than one would think. Many berrys from helpful healing ones to ones that can be used to make yummy snacks if made right. But sadly there is nothing around or in the tool kit for making yummy candies or the other things the show has the humans did for their Pokémon.

Sighing a little at that thought, I look at the colorful scarfs and see a open spot for one and see a name tag 'Defense Up'... So that must be the one on my neck now, and I smile at seeing more of the helpful scarfs, bands and ribbons too, and the most helpful one is the weather band one to deal with the weather and not feeling the bad effects like hail hurting me and the cold when it gets worse around here. Hmm? Oh! There is some orbs in here too at the bottom with rocks, sticks of metal and wood. Ok then, I guess I could have used a orb that was called 'Rainy orb', but better for me to lean about myself more first then quick answers like those offer.

Closing it back up and moving it back to my side to hang again I continue on my way to the bottom and find a place to plant some of these and start growing food for myself. After what seemed like hours going down, I hit the bottom finally and smile as I head over to the forest that is some ways away from the mountain and begin my relaxing walk over the soft damp grass humming happily as I look around me. As the clouds did not leave, it was a little hard to tell what time it was, but it was getting darker as I continued on my way not stopping as I was taking it easy and felt fine but a little hungry from all the walking before now. Reaching inside the box I pull out a yummy looking apple and happily ate it but saved the seeds for later planting. With my stomach feeling better I continue on through the night, the rain did stop for a while at night, but when it started to lighten up like it was now dawn, I smiled to myself looking at the world and feel the rain pick back up and pour more as I feel the land through my feet fill in areas with more water waiting for to be used, making me raise a eyebrow at that. But continue on I did as the forest I was heading to was coming up and a very large open field.

As I was nearing the it now I stopped and looked to my right and lend my head to the side a bit at the open field before me and smiled as I got an idea and turned to it and walked over and give a quick puch into the ground and drop some seeds of the apple before in and cover it and doing it some more making a good 30 apple seed filled holes, noding to myself at a good morning days work, I turn and walked away and head on back to the forest again to go in. But as I was at least 20 feet away from them, is when I felt it happen. Turning around again, I watched as the land glowed and the dirt piles of the apple seeds started to grow up as sapplings, then little trees. And they didn't stop as I covered my mouth again in awe, as they grow bigger and bigger into full on trees with branches beautiful and green with leafs and so juicy looking apples hanging there. As I smiled at this truly wonderful sight to behold, I cried happy green gooey tears as I stepped closer and put my paw on the nearest tree and gave a little gasp as I could feel the life in the tree reach out to me and feel it's happiness at meeting me and see the leafs shine as I put my forehead to it and humming happily to them all as the air was feeling like I was in the company of family and the warmth they gave off. These trees will live a very long time with me. I just know it. Reaching up easily and pulling off two apples, I put one in the box and ate the other one and fall to my butt sitting again as the taste was beyond what they first one. Juicy, sweet and mouth watering as it dissolved as I chewed it.

Blushing as I held my cheeks savoring it as the best apple ever. As if knowing my thoughts about it's fruit, the apple trees gently swad at me as I stood up and put my paw back on the tree for w bit and turned away again and walked away to continue on with I feel must be done inside the forest. 



After entering and walking peacefully, I would would use my antenna like things on my head, yes I call them things as I have no other name to call them. With one I would reach in the box and pull out a berry and use my other one to punch the ground for a hole and drop it in as I moved on and use my tail to cover the hole as I would move on to the next one and so on. Sitrus, Oran, Pecha, Cheri, Chesto, Rawst and Leppa berrys to name a few here and there, so the forest has many good berrys for what ever comes to call this place home too with me. And so it would go, with the sound of pounding and scraping as I won't on my way deeper. By later afternoon of going like that I stopped to look back and smile as the new fruit trees are fully grown and full of berries, moving on I came to a open spot with water ponds here and there. A good swamp lays before me and I like what I see, as I feel in me the Goodra is happy to see this. I see more open ground and looks ready for what I have planned for more of the berries to be placed here and grow under my eyes, and this will be my base and home.



After working on the rest of planting my smaller garden, giggling to myself at the idea of a smaller one here. I sit down to look at my new garden start to grow up to sapplings, but I blinked in surprise as they stopped at that, and felt the rain come to a stop. Looking up I was now seeing the evening sky of the beautiful gold's, reds and blue as the clouds disappeared to reveal it as the night came out and the beautiful night sky with the stars shining up there, giving me the first time seeing them with out the clouds in the way. After being up for two days with no rest, I yawned big as little tears are at the edges of my eyes. Rubbing my eyes I wasn't sure what I was seeing as in front of me, as living plants started to grow up taller than me and coming together in a way that looked like a plant cave with vines over the front like a door to block the outside world from seeing in. With out really thinking about it to much as I was getting sleepy and wanted to lay down, so slowly getting up. I walked over to it smiling with a wobly, swaying from side to side gently I made it in passed the curtain of green and removed my scarf and tool box and put them in the back of the cave and layed down in front of them curling up and closing my eyes to rest for tomorrow and more garden tending to. With a smile and a little hum, I drifted off to the dream realm.



As the new Guardian Goodra was sleeping in his new home in the swamp of the forest with the fruit of his labor around him growing, and the rest of the land calms down from the magic to start new life. Animals of the air and land begin to make there way into the land and pick places for them to live as well, the faster ones of the filers came to over the swamp and the sleeping dragon in his home and came in to land and home it their home to with him and roosted where they could to sleep as others that found temporary resting place for the night and others that live for the night continued on deeper.



Far to the North, the flying creature came to land in a grassy field as and folded it's large beautiful white wings to it's side and held it's head high and it's white coat shin in the night light as it spoke in a calm voice to it's self.

"Faucet! This will be the land that your little ponys will call home. I only hope they will live in Harmony with themselves and others."

Looking back from which she flew from, her mind was on the land before and the only creature that was pink of color she spotted on the mountain over looking the land before it. She figures it laid claim to it and would not be a nice thing to fight with it over it as there was still more land to find for her plains. Maybe when she gets things started here for her ponys, she could make a trip back and say hello. It would be nice to have a friend and learn something new and share with it. Smiling to herself at a future meeting with the being to look forward to, she began to use her magic to light her long white horn up and letting it flow with magic and interact with the magic in the land and start it to grow life as grass replace the dirt and in some areas sapplings for many other plants begin to surface. But it was a slow process, it will be sometime before she can do anything else.

With a ear perking up at the sound of a rumble, she looks behind to see a stormfron of clouds moving in from the lands far back were it was. As the clouds continued on over her and beyond deeper into her lands, rain gently fell and watered the plants and her for a bit before a flash of magic protected her to stay dry. Everything around her was growing faster now. As the look of surprise came over her at this. A smile as beginning to move her lips as her thoughts was on a pink helpful creature from before is unintentionally helping her.

"It seems things will be moving along faster than I thought! I may have to say hi a little sooner than later. Hehehe" Giggling to herself at the meeting.

As trees begin to get bigger with cover from the rain, she moved under the protective branches and layed down to rest and watch as the land before her got more beautiful over night and can't wait to see it in the light and start on future plans sooner now.

 Getting started


 Chapter 1



When the morning light came and shine on the land before it in a new dawn, the animals that were sleeping awoke and made their way deeper into the new land that will be their home. The birds that were in the swamp awoke and began to explore around and see what food and water there is. It was their happy tweeting that awoke the sleeping dragon in it's plant cave with a big yawn and stretch.

As I sit there with the gently light of morning, I rub my eye of sleep and a happy smile and a sleepy haze in me. Staring at the vine door blankly for a while, I lean forward and walke out passed the vines on all four to the light and close my eyes at the brightness outside hitting me in the eyes forcing me to close them and grimace while tripping and landing face down in the wet grass grumbling as I lay there sighing to myself and thankful for no one around to laugh at me.

Pulling myself up to a sitting position again and wiping the grass off and rub my face to help wake up and sleep from my eyes. With my eyes closed still, I was going to stand up and look around for something to do and what to eat, but the wet grass edge of the pond near me said that it was a good time to bath.

*Splash*

"Grrr....!" Poking my head out of the water, I growled at the embankment for my surprise bath, as bubbles formed around my mouth as water drips off me. 

Taking a calm breath, I sit up in the pond and look up at the blue sky for a bit and notice the sound of birds around me singing to their own tune. As I look around, I see that some of them are looking at me for making noise, but say nothing about it and give me a little bow of the head and continue on what they were doing before. Getting a little confused about it, I stand up and shake off a little. I walk out of the 'pool' and decide to look over the growing berry plants and smile as they oddly enough do that little dance in the game, moving side to side gently ever so often. Shaking my head at the funny plants, I turn to look at my home I was sleeping in and look at it in amazement as now I see it.

"Huh... Would you look at that! That's new."

Shaking my head at it and not question it as it being a part of all this new world and what not as my head starts to hurt a little. With no time to deal with the pain, I walk in to look inside more and get my tools, ha that being the scarf and kit.

Seeing more of the inside now, a nice bed of grass made in big 8 foot bed for me to lay in the middle easily and can fit another person too, if done right. Behind it was what I was looking for but looking around at the rest of my new home. To my right and left of the bed was a little river of water coming and going in here. To the left was a cut log as a seat next to a  bigger size log made as a table and to the side is a grass woven basket for anything to be in it, but as is empty. Not much else but it's pretty nice to begin with.

Using my antenna to reach over and grab both items in one and walk back out and sit just outside the door. Picking up the blue scarf, I fold it up and open the kit and place it in it's place next to the rest and look for the stamina band as I will be going far out to look around and pick up more apples as I exit for the trip out. Grinning at finding it under the tag, I pull it out and put it on my left arm to the elbow push the other items around to the open box part so other things are not seen, as it will be not a problem as I will be the only one looking in. With empty box set up I close the box and stand up with the kit in paw and sting the shoulder strap on and start with my walk to fill up my kit with more berries and apples for the road trip and plant more berries for the animals that are sure to be popping up like the birds here.

Walking past the tree line and into the forest was relaxing as the smells of nature was fresh. Going along I stop and look back to see the swamp not far, I got an idea to find my way back home and a quicker way out if need be. So I start off the day, I began to drag my tail hard into the ground as I walked back and forth three times to start a little trail, noding to myself at a good beginning, I turn back to the forest in front of the swamp and go back in smiling to myself as I came to the berry bushes and pick some from ever one to add in the box.



After it got to noon by the look of it as the sun is, I come out near my apple trees and come to up the nearest tree and place a paw on the trunk and close my eyes feeling out with my heart like before and felt it touch back. Opening my eyes I look up to the apple filled branches and pick out 15, as that should be fine as there is many seeds in them for what I planned on doing. As I was turning to leave on my way, I stopped in mid step looking at the ground in the apple grove seeing many colorful looking beans popping up like weeds. As a sweat drop falls down my head with my eyes closed at the strangeness of it all. Giving a little shake of my head, I see more Royal Purple beans.

Opening my kit feeling it shake some, I see inside as the full box of fruits slides to the side and one more takes it's place with 6 large sealed jars with a tag saying 'Gummie Jars'.

"Really!?.... Is this the joke of my life now! These are the gummies that will help me get in intelligent boost like the game!?" Sliding my paw down my face at this joke, I grumble to myself as I pull one out with my paws and pop the lid while my antennas go about and picking up brain boost beans and dropping them in as I walk around collecting as I grumble.

With what felt like 20 minutes of picking and noticing that they are dry and not sticky. I was able to fill 2 of the 6 jars. And was helpful but a little creepy was that jars had a bean counter on the lid show the number 60. After the jar was back in place, the kit storage moved again on it's own with the fruit box coming back. I just closed the lid and start walking on my way and not think about the possessed tool kit on my shoulder is doing, and start my wandering to see all of my lands to do some planting. So with a smile on my lips and humming in my throat, I was on my way from my home base, on to a Adventure!



As evening came around for what will be dinner. I looked to the setting sun and behind me and knew that I was going East and West was behind me to home. And thinking about it as I came to smaller woods, ponds, lakes, I would stop and pick a few areas that looked good and planted a few berries here and there and a apple seed or two after I ate one and pull the seeds out. It was nice good work all day. And I was able to find more fruit on my way. There was oranges, bananas, pears, peach's(my Pecha berries were still better as it cures poison), plums, cantaloupe, mangos and blueberries. Taking the seeds from inside and dry them off, I put them in the kit below the other fruits for when I get back to the Energetic Forest, (Yes! The forest around my swamp home is now called that! And I like it as it reminds me of the first Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team Red game.) And add it to my inner garden for me to enjoy. With my walk I was able to see more different birds flying around, and some to land on me and do little bows before flying off again. And in the water I spotted some fish going around and squirrels going about making homes and looking for nuts and playing around with each other. Truly wonderful day has been.

But it seems like a red squirrel has taken to me and is on my head in between my antennas sitting. I believe it be a female at that, as every so often it nuzzles me and kiss my head for attention when I stop petting it with my antenna when we walk. I have come to call her Rose for now, she is napping as of now when I stopped here. Sitting down for a bit, I was left wondering how will I be able to do some of the normal things that I was able to do before coming here. Like where to find that one rock to help make fire with or the other things one takes for granted at have until there gone. With a gentle sigh, I close my eyes for a moment to think.

'Hmm... I don't have that good or great survival skills to begin with and I don't know a lot about myself and what I can do yet. I know I can use Flamethrower, but I don't know if I can use it now. The normal moves I can use will take time to figure out, and I have all the time in the world to figure that out. But I wonder if I could learn some of the ones in game that says I can't, but can really? But as far as I see and know, I'm the only Pokémon here. Where ever here is. I guess trial by error will be the norm for me to learn what I can do and make. .... I wonder how long I will live? Will it be for a short time or am I an immortal now and live here by myself alone....,' sniff rub the teary goo tears away looking down. 'or will other sentient creatures come to be and will we be able to get along?'

Sighing again at all these questions and no answers for them, I stand up and continue on my way East until I can't go anymore and head back home to rest try and make a map of where I been and seen, then stock up on more berries for planting around so there is more of my Pokémon berries around to use at paw then carry them and worry about running out in a pinch. If at all that happens. Best be cautious after all. And plant these ones I got in my inner garden so I have different opinions on what to eat when I stay. Still feeling pretty good and ready to go more from that little rest, I continue on though the night with my little friend on my head as I looked around at the beautiful night life as animals of the day go and get ready to sleep and the animals of the night wake up and go about the same as before the others. And they do the same when some look at me and do little bows before continuing on.

As I walked on though the night, many of the lands beauties could be seen and many night flowers that glowed were a sight to see and I planned on taking some with me back home to have around. And maybe I will find some more flowers in the day to add too. Heheh.



From on top of the mountain when it began the start of life in this new land by a Pokémon, it has again the attention of one who finds it curious that it was so far from it's rightful home he made.

As a golden portal opened a creature of tall height stepped out and stood there on four hooves and looked like a horse at it's full height of 10'06", as the moon shin on it's white body and the gold. It's hooves were small at the end, but had the look of strength to them to kick any with ease from it. The tips were covered in gold, and around it's barrel had two half gold rings on both sides, and the each ends had sharp points and four green gems at the corners of the rings. As it served the land before it with it's red eyes taking all in. It give a gentle smile at beautiful work done here. But was worried at who got here and did this and for what purpose and end. It was not setting well with Arceus the Alpha at what may be happening. Feeling out to the land to find the Pokémon for this, it came to a wooden area that was giving off a strong feeling of power and safety.

With a single leap off the mountain, the Alpha flew over the land to see what has been done here. And as it all look down, it's smile grew at the very beauty of what can be seen in the moon light. As the woods came up quicker than it took walking there, him came to a slow stop at the edge of the woods looking to the right after seeing a fresh slightly slimed trail going in next to many apple trees to the side his is now looking to. Feeling curious at what he is feeling from the trees them selves and walks up to the nearest tree and looks at it and close his eyes and is shocked to feel a joy like no other coming off the tree and the many other as well.

Taking a step back, Arceus was startled to feel this from all around him but smiled at their joy, a little more at ease now, who ever of his children is here, is not up to no good from this level of care and love here. But he now wants to see more of what has been done here and see his little pokémon. With a little grin, the Alpha walks in the forest quietly and take in what feels like a truly wonderful time and learn something about his child.



As the Alpha exits the forest from looking around, he was was happy to see the care put in to planting the berries around in good areas. But what had him smile brighter, was what in front of him now. The swamp land before him was wonderful. And there was a garden of a larger size and with a bit of power, saw that near all of the saplings are berries from the different lands from the planet he made. Looking from them, he looked over and saw the plant made cave home. Stepping up to it as the animals around give the Alpha some looks as it went by.

Seeing the vine like doorway was probably the most likely way in. Moving the vines aside with the power of psychic poke his head in with his neck down to the level of the doorway to look around. Seeing not much but I lovely setting of what a simple home needs for a Pokémon. Taking a moment to inhale the scent of the Pokémon calling it home. Opening his eyes and sighing sadly at the scent of the who he knows now, looking down for a moment to try and understand how a Goodra came to be here.

Pulling out and looking around made the Alpha think about how will little Goodra handle be alone here with no Pokémon or human to be it's friend. As he thought of what to do about what's happening here. The land is now connected to him and it may kill the land and hurt the ones now calling it home. And may be dangerous to bring more of his children here with out knowing what other godlike being that is here to harm them if at all.

As the Alpha closed his eyes to think deep on it, a strong pull of power? Came from the far North of here. And to the East is where the Goodra is moving away.

"Hmm... It seems I have many things that need my attention here, to see who is to the North doing something there... And to check in with my little Goodra and decide on making Pokémon here to live in this land made by him so it is not alone. Hehe and to know if it's a boy or girl." With that in mind, the Alpha opened another portal and stepped on through and disappeared.

 Meetings and Parenthood


Far away over the ocean in a different land more beings raise up. As one of them sits and looks over his brethren fight and try many things in this new home of theirs. This one thinks to himself and what they need to go far. And that is first a King to lead.

As a female comes up to him and lays a gentle hand on his shoulder, he lifts his up and on hers in turn. As she looks over the others for a while, her attention is back to him and what is on his mind.

"Dear Vorak. What troubles you?"

Humming a little to himself to think about it more and to word it right. Vorak stood up and moved his arm around her waist and pulled her close in a loving hug as he smiled to her as his four hooves moved so she can stand closer to him. And she returned the embrace with a hug of her own.

"I was thinking about how we may need a King and a Queen to help bring a form of peace to theses lands before we destroyed ourselves, my dear Haydon."

"So that we could have a family to raise in a little bit more safe area." Said Vorak.

Humming to herself, Haydon put a hand on her belly in future thoughts of what may come.

"Yes. That does sound like something to look into on. Question dear? Speaking of family, hehe did you have name of our first born?" Asked Haydon.

"Hmm...." As he looked off to the horizon in thought of the new question. One name came to his mind. "Tirek! Hmm yes that seems like a good name for a boy."

"Hmm..." She thought to herself and saw it to be so as well. "I agree, but what if we have a girl first?" She posed the question to him.

"Hmm... Not sound lazy on it, but the name can go for both. But I can't think of a good girl name right now dear. Maybe when the time comes, and it is a girl. I will probably have one before then. For now? Let us try and make order to the lands before they are no more. What say you?"

"Yes! First stop the majority of the fighting between us. Then think of family." She answered with a smile and squeezing his hand back.

"Then let's get started!"



As Fuset lay down on a cloud over her many new little ponys sleeping still, as the night continued on before her. She smiles down at them and what the hopeful future is for them, as the Pegasus, unicorns and Earth ponies lay down. Sleeping as they, she watches their dreams and thinking of the next area to have more ponies around for each other.

As she signed gently down to them with a smile, a portal of gold opened before her and pony like a being stepped out looking at her quietly. It was definitely bigger then she was, more so as she was laying down looking up with wide eyes and feeling a strong sense of power flowing from it. As the Alpha looked back down to her, he was thinking over about how to deal with this one, as peace and love, was coming from her, but fear as well from his sudden visit at this time. But to set in motion what may be a good idea or a bad one to help his lose now found child. 

As he sighed softly to himself, the best way to start this was going to be introductions, and names are a good start. "Arceus." He told her.

Lifting her head up and looking at him blinking owlishly. The only thing that she thought of that came out of her mouth was, "Wat?"

"My name. It's Arceus. My I know your name Ms. ...."

Shaking her head a little, now catching up on what he, 'Arceus' was telling her. Smiling apologetically to him, she hope it was a he by the sound of it's voice. Stand up on the cloud she was on, but that still left her short to him but answered his question.

"My name is Faust, Faust Rose. It's nice to meet you Arceus, but what are you doing here and what do you plan on doing here to my little ponies?" She said as a slight edge came to her voice and a light glare.

"Peace be with you Faust! I'm not here to harm you or your subjects in any way. I'm just here to see the one that is close to my child, and find out if you may be a harm to him and set up a way to protect him from said harm. But I would rather believe that you are a potential friend."

Hearing about why Arceus was here, Faust smiled sheepishly at jumping a little head and rubbed the tip of her hoof in the cloud. Blinking a bit at hearing him say about a child.

"Wait? Child, YOU have a child here?... Do you mean the creature down South of here that is pink?"

"Yes. His name is Goodra. I don't know how he got here to this world, as the world I made for him and the others is this good to live on and many wonderful things to see."

"Wait... He and you are from a different a world!? Will-... no wait you said that you wanted to see if I would be able to be a friend to him. So that means you will not take him, but let him live here?" Faust asked, looking at this other world God with interest.

"Yes. He will be staying here. Some how using his power to make it rain has connected him to the land it self, and I believe he doesn't even know it, I believe. And it would die if he is taken. So, no. His place is here, with all the beings that call this world home." He replied

"Wait... he's connected? Like how so? And... Well, I made the life of my little ponies here. Will he, or will you make more of your own children like before on this world as well?" She asked with some curiosity.

"Like... Like he has become like me in a way. He's become a demigod of a kind. I will have to meet him first and look more closely into it first to know. Or maybe not, maybe it's magic. And I'm still thinking about having more born here so he can have some Pokémon to play, talk and battle if he so desires." Was he reply. Seeing her look at the word fighting he added. "It's in all the nature of Pokémon to battle each other. Some like them for sport, workouts or to better understand them self and set protectors for groups. Not all Pokémon want to fight. It's all in the species and nature of said Pokémon. Don't worry, they will not attack others with out a reason."

Still feeling a little bit weary of what could be, still smiled and hope for the best as she guessed what he wants to. So, hopping for the best and know about him and to her the still helpful Pokémon for moving her plans forward faster, will ask and will answer questions about what will be.

"So..."



As I made my way through the night over much land and some rivers, the night life of the land was nice to see. But not wanting to push it to much I see a tree near and lay down under it and close my eyes and fall asleep with the squirrel moving to my to the tree and on a breach doing the same thing. As I slept, I didn't feel the ground become softer as more grass grow around me in a big bed as night went on.

When the light of the new day came up to begin the day. A golden portal opened near the sleeping dragon Pokémon Goodra, and the Alpha, Arceus slowly moved out and looked down to his child watching him, for looking at it he knew now the gender and saw how the grass is more greener around him and softer. Which was now proven to be him that he has more power then the young one may know. But looking closer he could see there was more to this simple Pokémon. He soul was human! The other children of his to be with Pokémon. 'Now this is unexpected, but not really a problem. This may be a good thing... For special humans, this can be a good gift and learning experience to try. But I will try it out in my universe. Not with him.' Smiling to himself for a moment before looking at him more to see what else is different from the others.

Seeing the box by him and the band like thing on his arm took him by surprise. Those are from totally different reality then the first one he made. But... The box seems to be radiating a different kind of power from it, looks normal but lie all together. Looking at it more and using his power to see more into what it really is.

Not even flinching as the box pushed back with the intent to hurt so that it will not let it's secrets be known freely. Smirking at it's defiance Arceus used more power as his eyes glowed with energy and the box was glowing as while. As the box tried to fight back, it was for nothing as the Alpha provide it's power! As look deeper into it, a image began to show more alternate universes of this one. Many humans being taken away from there own home world. One with nothing of what is here or what they now have happen to them. 'Hmm... So he's not the only one that this has happened to before. But I see that none of them are really of my concern right now. They are not Pokémon, like him as far as I can tell. Hmm? Who's this now...' looking back to the point he was from moved from his world, Arceus saw what he has seen before in a similar situation, a convention hall full of humans in costumes that stalls selling their wares. But one stood out and a human looking like a Goodra in away that must be this one. As the pasted moved on and telled him what happened. The human bought this same box, and just like that! A portal opened below him sucking him down and away from there. As it closed the scene stopped and the shady looking Merchant looked at him and had the feeling of not liking being spied on, but it seemed like it was trying to stop him. Arceus just smiled bigger at his feeble attempt to stop and block him. Letting the image move on himself from the 'Merchant', he saw the portal path the human was using and witnessed is transformation and him being dropped off in this world.

'Now I see how, why and who did this. And now I will take care of this myself and keep him safe from what it wanted to do with him. He is my child and by me! I will see to it that he has a better life. For I see that he is like a demigod of a sort. But a child at heart. I have a plan, and with my talk with Faust Rose. A friend and more with her children. But I can see that this world has many dangerous beings. I will need some help from my other godlike childs to make a place for him to hide and or leave for safety if the worse were to come to pass and his power was to be targeted.' Easing up on his power on the box, the glow around it and in his eyes died down and looked back at Goodra and layed down near him staying quiet as he watched over him until he wakes up and they can have a good talk. But! Until then, time for a little talk. 

And so with a call out to the dimension of where Palkia and Dialga are... And most likely fighting... Again! Just like children. A portal opened before him and still sleeping Pokémon, and both of them came out and had the look of what looks like battle marks on them. As the Alpha had to stop from rolling his eyes hard with a sigh continued to look at them as the portal closed behind them as they both looked at him and the sleeping Goodra near and then around the world they are in and feeling not like the one it should be, but when their eyes fall on each other. All thoughts about everything was gone and both glard as they began to gather their powers ready to fight it out more as Palkia's hand was glowing and Dialga opened his mouth as it was glowing readying for an attack. But before they could begin. Dialga's mouth was forced closed and pull forward to look back at Arceus, and Palkia's arm was pulled to the side making him look back as well. Both were now looking into the eyes of their father... And he was not very happy at the moment with them. And they knew it, as his voice was in their heads as he spoke slow and calmly and made them shivver at their poor choice in wanting to fight.

'And what do the two of you think you are doing? I didn't call for you to fight here and make a mess! Now! Sit. Down. And behave! We have much to talk about on a matter of importance. And of him. said Arceus, with a raised eyebrow, then he nodded to the sleeper. As both took more notice of the sleeping Goodra and the power that was around him.

"Sorry father." Both replyed in a whisper bowing their heads in forgiveness.

'Good! Now the reason for why I called for you, is because of how, who and why. This Goodra is really a human turned Pokémon. How is that box he carries, by a being who had many more of said items and many more humans have fallen victim to his ploy and are now in different worlds and alternate universes of this same world. I'm still working on the why so far, but it will not touch him anymore. He is my new child and I will protect him as so. But this world has it's on danger. So we will work together and make a safe place or path for him to use to escape.

Both nodded at as they listed and took a seat before the Alpha and Goodra. Arceus released his hold on them and used a move to heal them as they had been fighting before.



As the midmorning light fall on his eyes, it did the trick to wake him up as he yawned big and sat up rubbing his eyes as they cracked open to peek at what is the morning is like and seeing three like large Pokémon around him watching as his gase pass over them smiling to himself closing them again as he stretched his body out.

'Give him a moment... He will catch on.' Arceus said telepathically with a chuckle as both Palkia and Diagla chuckled as well.

And just like that! The sound of glass braking and Goodras eyes snapped open looking at them in wide eye surprise. And his mouth hanging open. And with that the other two chuckled openly and Arceus just smiled at him.

"Hello little one. It's good to see you are wake now. I have been wanting to talk with you about something for more than a day. But other important matters had to be looked into first. But they are done with and now I'm here for you and we all have something to say to you." Arceus told him as both Palkia and Diagla nodded.

As Goodra sat there still frozen from this big surprise and hearing what the Alpha of all Pokémon said, just broke him for the moment.

Goodra.exl has crashed... Beginning reboot now...

Chuckling more, Palkia reached forward and lifted up his jaw and closed it. Looking down at his hand and seeing it covered in slime, he smiled to himself and reached over and wiped it on Dialga's shoulder. Feeling it happen, Dialga had a bemused look as he just looked forward and and Arceus just ignored what his children are doing, as he continued to watch the broken Goodra before him waiting for him to move.

Blinking his eyes and looking up to Arceus focusing on him now that his brain has rebooted. Smiling sheepishly and with a weak chuckle.

"Uh-um.. y-you want to talk to me Arceus? And Palkia and Diagla too? ... D-did I do something bad?" Finding replyed Goodra, as he was nervous in front of God's.

Taking in that he knew of their names with out them being said, told the Alpha that he knows of them in his old world, but with none really being there. Hearing his worry in the tone of voice, he lowered his head to be on eye level and spoke in a calming voice.

"No little one. You are not in trouble at all. We are here in fact to help you! I don't know much about you. But I do know that you are not a Pokémon by birth, but a human. And you did not come from my world and universe. But pulled away from your own. By that box you carry, and that turned you into one. It's because of that and you making the land here to grow that has got my attention, and I came to see what was happening here. And I don't care what you were before, as of now! You are my child and I will see to it that you will be safe as you live here."

Looking down at the box he has with him for a bit, looked back up and smiled at hearing the words of acceptance and smiled bigger. And with it the three of them saw he glowed with power and the planets became more lively and gave off a faint light to.

'Will this power in him calm father?

'Yes. Over time it will stop being so active so willingly like it is now.

"Well... If you would like to know more about me, I guess I would be ok to talk to you about it Arceu-"

"Father." He briefly interrupted.

"Uh?" Was Goodras response to it.

"You can call me father, or dad. Which ever you want to say." 

"Oh! I-I... Dad. Well, before coming here my life was..." As sat there telling his new dad about himself, about what he remembers of his life, his old name and what they came to agree on that Goodra is his name now. And what happened most of his childhood. They were not happy at hearing what the mother was like to him. And they learned that their world of Pokémon was a TV show and movies about a boy and his Pikachu, and one game but many different ones going to the difference regions. And what he knew about Pokémon from the show and Pokédex entrys that can be remembered, which was not at all good. And he telled them his dream about being a Pokémon or coming to their world and having his own Pokémon Journey with friends and Pokémon. They in turn told him that the way back to his old world is not accessible anymore. And unfortunately they can't bring him to theirs. That he in a way has became one with this land and world. Afterward he became quiet to think over what it means. In a gentle voice the Alpha said he is like a god, a demigod. Life forever. But he will not be alone, for he has them any the other immortal legendary Pokémon to speak to. And so Palkia and Diagla, using their power over time and space. Used them together to forged a necklace of gold and a gems of Pokéball.

The top Ruby and the bottom diamond and the middle of the metal sliver for the button. As it floated over and attached itself to his neck, it glowed for a moment and went back to normal. Smiling up to them for the gift, he gave them questioning look at why. And with a chuckle, they explained that it will allow him to be his way to escape if things ever got dangerous for him here. It will open a portal to a alternate plan of existence for the same land here but full of Pokémon to be with. But it's not a true place. For in away, it doesn't really exist. And that he can visit different universes that are not connected to here. Where to go is up to him to go. But he can't be gone from here for a very long time, or the necklace will force him back... And will not be pleasant. More was talked about thought must of it the sun reach midday and Goodra happily gave his new family apples from his box as they got to see in it when it opened and Palkia saw the inside had a spell of a kind to add more space then it should be capable of doing. As they enjoyed the taste of the special apple, Goodra found himself in between Arceus front legs looking up and to the others.

Arceus just smiled down to him, after hearing him speak of his old life and how there was no father in his life and seeing how is personality is like, was fine with it. After the lunch was done. He would have continued on, but after all the talking and remembering the bad passed again. Goodra was was tired, and drained emotionally from it all crying and all the talking. And so he fall asleep on the chest of his new father. Holding his leg and using it as a pillow.

'So... What do we do now? Are we done talking or is there more. Or was there something else you want us to do?' Asked Diagla as he threw the apple cores away, but in the direction of Palkia, hitting him in the head smiling. As Palkia glared in return and throw his for a counter, but missed as Diagla duck under and stuck his tongue out at him. Rolling his eyes at their silly fighting he replied.

'Yes! Dialga! Go and find generally safe worlds for him to go to when he wants or in need. And Palkia! Go back to our world and look for special Pokémon that want a different life to live on. The hurt, lonely and misjudged.'

'Yes father!' Both replyed.

'Will you be telling him that the necklace will be a focal point for his new powers to be easily?' Asked Diagla, standing up to go as directed as the Jewel in his chest began to glow with power and light.

'..... No. That will be for him to learn on his own. Better for self discovery then being told. A learning experience if you could please.' came his answer.

With them giving a nod to his decision both turned and opened their own ways out of here and went. With both of them leaving quietly to do what they were asked. As the portals closed behind them, Arceus look back down to Goodra as he curled up more with his band, box and necklace on him. Smiling at the cute sight before him, he listened to the gently sounds around him as he waited for him to awake.
> Learning More
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------


As Goodra blocked the incoming attack with crossed arms and sliding back. He looked at his opponent with a grin as sweat and excess goo drips off and light panting. And Arceus looked back in a calm manner as he was fine and enjoying the battle he was having with his son to make him stronger to defend himself when he couldn't be there. It's been three months since then and both have walked the land and seen many different areas there in. The jungle was fun to see and speed training was done there to help Goodra be quicker on his toes and reflex control. Must was improved, but more work was needed. And the desert was good to, in it's own way. As of now both were in a rocky area full of many different rock sizes and this was there battle field for training. Sitting on the tool kit was the same red squirrel watching the battle before her and smiling at Goodra.

Lowering his head and running forward as light gathered there, he was going to hit back with 'Head Butt' and with his hands behind in both a blue ball of light and water swirling around fast for a follow-up of duel 'Water Pulses'. Right when he was about to land the attack, Arceus opened his mouth and unleashed 'Hyper Voice' and throwing Goodra back into a rock cracking it and canceling his moves as the water spheres bursted open and covering him and the ground and rocks in water and smoke. Getting up for the recovery and open his mouth and use Ice beam as he was still on both his hands and paws for a counter. As the 'Ice Beam' cut through the smoke freezing it and the air, his opponent countered back with 'Flamethrower'. As both attacks hit together steam filled the area quicker and energy was building up fast and exploded braking up rocks and the ground and the blast shot Goodra back into the rock again and through it going back rolling for a bit and Arceus just stood there as a protective green shield stopped the blast and watched his son roll away.

In one quick flip that one would not think possible for a chubby Pokémon, Goodra was back on his feet and lunched off as water was covering him in a swirling way as he flew over the ground fast doing 'Aquajet' heading for his dad hoping to land a hit. Remembering the show, he opened his mouth and used another 'Water Pulse' at the front of the attack and both moves became one like as the leading point glowed bright blue and the water was swirling faster as more speed was added. Closing in fast and before his dad could act. The moves landed exploding making more smoke and pushing back both opponents.

"Yes! That's it my boy! Good form!" Called out Arceus laughing at the fast response and move combo. In turn he shoot off his own 'Ice Beam' and sidestep hard shooting off to the side as he lunched off three 'Aura Spheres' in tandem flying at Goodra to his left.

Firing off a quick 'Thunderbolt' in return, both moves cancelled each other but being distracted by that surprise attack hit his left side exploding three times and covering the area in smoke but he came flying out rolling again.

"Don't lose focus on what your opponent is doing and your surroundings! Your opponent can hit from anywhere!" Called out the Alpha.

Smacking into another big rock that was hollow and gems falling around him. Goodra stood up and was getting tired of being thrown around and looked at his father and roared out in anger and yellow energy exploded from him as he rushed forward digging a small trench in the rocky ground and slammed into him punching kicking in a 'Outrage' pushing Arceus back with some of the hits landing taking him by surprise. With a mighty upper cut to the jaw and lifting his opponent off his feet. Goodra calm down from his move and his eyes glowed purple and a headace came on as he became confused and started to swing wildly and punched his own face multiple times dropping him to the floor as he began to smash his head to the floor over and over again roaring out in pain and confusion.

Recovering from the upper cut and hearing his boy crys of pain. Both the squirrel and him looked at Goodra hurting himself on the ground. (End music) Moving to his side and gently putting a hoof on Goodra's head, he used 'Aromatherapy' to ease his pain and cure the status effect. As the green waves of light washed over him. Goodra stopped thrashing and lay there breathing fast and the feeling better as seconds passed. Looking to the side to see the squirrel was holding two Oran Berries for Goodra to eat. Eyeing the squirrel for a bit as she was watching Goodra and the bump on his head. He was getting the feeling there is more to her for a while now.

As he was feeling a little better now, he sat up rubbing his head with a little moan. Looking to see the squirrel waving at him to get his attention he saw the berries she came over with to help him heal faster. And smiled and gave his thanks and picked up the berries and ate one slowly and feeling as it work to help him feel better and finished off the second one quicker and was feeling good but still tired from the battle and sat there breathing in and out as the squirrel sat down on his shoulder.

"Rest now. Our training is done for the day." Said Arceus as he joined Goodra by laying down to be closer to look at him and in turn so he doesn't have to look up so high. "I'm impressed you learned another move 'Outrage'. It's powerful yes, but you feel the drawback to. So be careful using it." He warned and got a nod back.

But his attention was more on the squirrel watching her. "...so? How long will you keep hiding?"

As both of them look up at a him with looks of confusion and the other shock.

"Um... Dad? What are you talking about?"

"Not you. Her! Come on out Ms. It's time to stop hiding and I want to know what is your interest in my boy." As the shock wear off a sly grin came on the squirrel's face as the body changed and grow longer and snaked it self around Goodra as arms wrapped around hugging him and it's tail wrapping around his tail and a face nuzzles his making him blush at this new person shower him affection. In a playful tone she replies.

"Awe, you spoiled my fun! Hehehe!" She giggled away as a paw batted the goo under his chin. After seeing the glare for not answering what was asking she went on.

"Oh don't worry over nothing! I'm not going to hurt this lovely little cutie. Why would I hurt the one I have fallen in love for? And from hearing you and your other boys talk, we will have much time to get to know each other better! And I'm sorry, but I did hear all about your life and don't want you feeling hurt anymore." She said to the Alpha and look to Goodra with sad sympathetic eyes as she kissed his cheek hugging him tighter making the blush worse and close his eyes at the warmth the hug was giving him.

"B-but Ms? I-i don't know your name?" Came Goodra's flustered question.

"And what are you by the way?" Was Arceus own question as he looked over this female. She had long white hair and different body parts the head and neck was a dragon like but more beautiful for her and a single snaggletooth poking out, the horns looked like a gazelle horn and an antelope. The wings are Dove and Eagle the arms were a cat and a dog ones. The body is rabbit and the legs are a ponys leg and a cow and the tail was a mouses, a big one that is long. And her eyes are purple and the white part is pink instead. A very strange creature for sure.

"I'm a Draconaquis. And my name's is Eris~♥." She replied to both questions but begin to nuzzle Goodra when answering his question as a pink heart floated up putting a smile on him and blushing more.

"I-It's nice to m-meet you Eris. What's a D-Draconaquis?" Goodra asked getting more flustered.

"Mmm~ you are a cutie! Well a draconis is a being of chaos. The rules of reality and order don't apply to me and any other. In other words I'm a Goddess. When this world was made many powerful beings of Gods and Goddess are here. And you have seen two and meet one now. And what I can feel, you are one too and that is why I am here. Your different. And I like it." Said Eris wrapping around him more so she was now looking him in the eyes and rubbing her snot with his making him have a full face blush.

"Yes. The Alicorn Goddess Faucet Rosie. She will be watching over her ponies up North for a while then leave them be so they can grow." Arceus said as Goodra was locked up looking into Eris's eyes and didn't know, but was starting to think that they didn't hear him as they were making goo goo eyes.

As Goodra kept looking in her eyes he couldn't help but find them to be so beautiful to look at and was losing himself in them feeling so calm and safe the longer he did and as the seconds moved on but felt like hours his arms moved around her in return hugging her as he relaxed in her hold and nuzzled back as little green gooly hearts popped up around them making her giggle.

Braking eye contact, Eris moved around so she was hugging him from behind and rested her chin on his head in between the tentacles antennas with a grin and her arms and legs hang lose but her tail still wrapped around his. Both looked at his dad together as he chuckled softly at their cuteness.

"So you will be here for him when I have to go?" He asked her getting a nod in return and poked her tongue out wiggling it silly. "Hehe ok. Take good care of him."

As he looked back over the battlefield to look over it his eyes fall on the many gems that lay around from the Geo rock that held them and used his psychic powers to move all of the falling gems to the kit opening it to drop them off in it for later use in the future in this world or in a different one when he jumps. Looking back to the new couple, he watched as his son held up one of Eris's paws and was nuzzling it as his eyes was close and smiling as was her. As night came around both of the younger kids fall asleep cuddling up as the Alpha sat up think over Goodra's training and his growth as time passes and believes he will get stronger for what ever may come at him here but worries about what would happen off world and if he still can use his moves to help save him and if he will keep his body when he jumps or lose it to a new one and be in danger. Taking in a deep breath and relax as worrying about it now won't help any Pokémon at this point. The best he can do now is trave around his sons land to the difference areas and train him to get stronger so maybe his reflexes will help if not moves.



As days went to weeks and months and then years the three of them traveled far in all places in the land coming to the beaches and mountains and the deserts going to many places to see it all and train. His training as be going well, but slow. Dragon Pokémon take a long time to get stronger but the pay off is worth it. But when winter came around it was easy to map the year out and months. Eris help to help track of the days and time with her power of chaos and they were able to celebrate Goodra's birthday on the 15th of August and Christmas. And many times they would make it back to the base and celebrate his and Eris's birthdays. Many new flowers and vegetables and fruits were taken and planted around his and Eris's home like he wanted. And the time taking a break or traveling their bond grew, but it was a slow one. Much teasing (mostly Eris) was between them and heart warming moments to for Arceus to see as the years rolled on. And his hidden garden was growing bigger and healthy, the berries didn't go to waste as the new animals that came by eat them.

And during battle training when rocks or the ground broke up and more gems of different types of was found with metals like gold, sliver and iron. When Arceus told Eris of what he wanted to be done for the future, she would collect and add it to the hord to be used for then. But with the iron ore found, an idea came to all of them and with Eris help a forge was set up in the base and a smelter was set. And with magic the fires to run them never went off out and magic keep the smelter going by feeding in iron to make ingots of pure iron to be ready for Goodra when they returned to the base and work on iron work to build muscle and to pass the time and make things that that he wanted to make the home more complete. Of course Eris used magic on some of the iron bars to make the tools he needed to work. But it was not easy at all to work the iron. A learning experience it was but much wasted iron was made in making pots and pans and cooking tools and on making the stove and oven for what he wanted to try the most. Poké tearts or candies and puffins. But so many fail forging of the metal is making that dream still just that.




250 years has passed and Goodra is now 278 and much has changed for him. Still slow at getting stronger but with Eris helping at throwing things at him when he battle his father and his older brothers Diagla and Palkia. Arceus left at times to go back to the Pokémon world to see over the happens there and around this world. A necromancer goat was making trouble far to the Northwest. And it seemed that new kind of dragons to the far East over the ocean as well but both stayed away for now from the 'Garden lands' that Goodra and Eris were traveling and training. 

It was at this point that Goodra was up high on the very mountain were it began for him sitting down on snow free ground with Eris helping to keep him warm hugging him as they looked over the land before them as his father was gone again after he said this would be a good time to train in the snow to increase resistance to the cold and Ice that is his greatest weakness so he can be tougher to it if ever it was find out. And he was absolutely miserable right now! Goo freezend on him and overed in snow shaking. As far as he was caring this sucks! And Eris was giggling away at his misfortune snuggling him to help some.

"T-t-t-th-is s-su-sucks!" Goodra stammered out as his teeth clicked together from the cold and nuzzled her cheek for warmth.

"I know hun. But as 'dad' said you need to train. Got to have my witly chubby goo ball a tough goo ball to duke it out longer in a fight now." As both looked into each other's eyes at her light jabs.

"Oh har har you Patchwork snaggletooth~" he retorted in kind and she blew back with their tongue making a kazoo noise making him chuckle.

"I don't know what is going wrong with the forging of the metal into what I want it to be. But how it's going now and the failing metal, I'm going to have to wait until I get better some how or way into the future so I can make delicious Pokémon food of candies and stuff. I have the berries needed to go in, but I will need the other things for baking. But a Poké cookbook on this stuff will help." He said out loud to say what's on his mind not really looking for a answer but had Eris thinking on it as in how to help her special somePoké out.

Shaking in the cold on the mountain with Eris thinking warm thoughts, a thought came to Eris as she blinked at it. Looking at her sweet dork of a sweetheart she pulled her head back to be able to look him in the eyes and in pulling away from him got his attention and out of his own thoughts and was able to ask her but was beaten to it as she asked with a smirk on her lips.

"Goodra... When you were playing smith, did you want to make cooking tools like pots and pans and the bigger items," with a nod she continued. "You could have cast them and poured in the hot liquid iron and let it cool... Right?" She finished as her smile grew as the look on his face change from hearing about how to make what he wants to do was a simple answer that escaped him for so long that left him feeling so stupid as a look of tiredness came over and he bowed his head whimpering.

"I-i give u-up on I-It. I-i hav-ve been ok with ou-ut having any this long. I-I can wait a little long-ger for some one else to make it." Said studdered Goodra more from the cold then sadness... mostly.

"Awe... Come here silly thing~" said Eris wrapping him closer taking pitty on him for over looking a simple answer to his problem and snuggling him squeezing as he made a squeaky noise like a rubber duck making her giggle.

Enjoining her comfort, he looks back up and out to the openness of the world and speaks as a thought comes to mind. "After all these years of being alive longer than I expected, I'm so happy that you are here for me to help ease the passing of time. I love you. You have been the best besides dad. But... you are a big butt head! I don't know how to make the mouds for the iron casting. So it still useless to make anything with the metal. I'm just going to quit and wait for someone out there to make it and do something about it than."

After hearing him say that, she lost it and laugh at how quick he pick up on her comment and saw him smiling and chuckling with her. But calmed to light giggles as she looked him in the eyes lovingly at hearing him say how he felt about her finally hearing the words she wanted to hear for so long, longer then it should be but he is a shy one at times. "Heh took ya long enough silly. And I love you too sweetie~♥" was her reply and a kiss to his lips and rested their forehead together.

From that kiss, Goodra went red face with a goofy smile and the heat in his body sky rocket and warmed him and her up and melted the snow and made steam raise up as a happy purr left his throat and some of the steam was turning into hearts.

And so on the mountain they stayed in a cave near by for many years while he trained his body to build up a tolerance for the cold. If it was not battle practice with Eris hitting him with ice move or sitting in the snow. He loved the snow back in his old world, but now as is. The snow sucks. And after when Eris left him to get some Aspear berries to help with the cold and make a surprise cup of hot cocoa for him after telling him about casting the iron for his work is when she heard rocks braking up and came back to see said destroyed rocks and Goodra walking to another rock and smash his head into it until it was no more than ruble. Giggling at his silly behavior she continued on to get him said items and a few Oran berries just in case.
> Growing and Plans

Both Dialga and Palkia used 'Rock Tomb' and 'Stone Edge' at the same time at Goodra as he stound still using 'Iron Tail' as best he could to break up the in coming rocks to pieces but still taking damage as more rocks keep coming and the other two staying on the move around their mountain top snow field going at it. As more rocks keep coming from 'Stone Edge' some hit the side of Goodra stunning him and blinding him in smoke as the rocks exposed and made him slip on the ice and was open for 'Rock Tomb' to surround him and for the final rock to land on him entombing in a rocky grave clearing the smoke. As both Palkia and Diagla looked on waiting for him to get up. The rocks exposed out and a 'Thunderbolt' came out and hit Palkia in the chest stunning him as the electricity ran through him, moving out the way as a 'Thunderbolt' came Diagla's way too. But was surprised when a hot fist punched him anyway burning him hitting the floor to look up and see Goodra's fist on fire for a 'Fire Punch' attack.

Having stunned them for a while, Goodra stound there breathing fast with one eye closed rubbing his cheek where he was hit and feeling the 'burn' effect from the previous attack looked at his brothers getting back up for more as he thought of what to do to not be put on the defensive again. As Palkia was back up first charged with 'Dragon Claw' ready and his right arm back ready for the swing.  Not wanting to have him come in and get hit, Goodra released a 'Shock Wave' pushing him back and with some space used 'Acid Armor' to boost his own defense more and firing off 'Rain Dance' to help heal him as water now rained on him. Dialga back up now to rushed in as he used 'Ancient Power' as rocks lifted up and out of the way as he came in fast. Not fast enough to dodge him, Goodra defended with 'Iron Tail' and meet Diagla head on. As both clashed together a sound wave of explosive air came off pushing the wet snow and water away in a wall of cold watery wave hitting Palkia getting up and Eris who was watching the match before her cheering them on. Using a umbrella to stop the water, she looked back over it and couldn't stop form shiver a little at the power all three of them are using right now. And was thankful that she was not their enemy. As she wasn't very sure if she could keep up with them in this kind of fighting. And pitied the poor fool to even try.

As Palkia glared at both his brothers for soaking him wet in cold water. He got an idea, he wasn't here to fight Diagla but help his little brother get stronger, but he could help him out in a way to hurt Diagla and stop the water from healing Goodra. A win-win situation, getting up he looked to the sky and fired up a ball of light and cleared the last weather move away and warmed up the area in heat as 'Sunny Day' took effect. As both Goodra did his best to hold back his very big brother back with 'Iron Tail' the sun came out and was getting warmer now. Smiling at seeing a chance to hurt Diagla more now and to slow him. Goodra stopped fighting back and took the full power of the attack and was pushed into the ground. As he hit the ground sticky goo covered Diagla surprising him as it slowed him and he didn't feel the power boost come from his last attack. Looking down at Goodra was meet with a powerful bast of 'Flamethrower' to his face and chest burning him as he felt his energy going down fast and rolled away putting out the fire in the mud.

As Palkia was laughing at Diagla's misfortune, he failed to see Goodra coming in fast to the side and hit him hard with a strong 'Thunder Punch' as he felt more electricity flowing into him as he now remember what he was doing and fall over breathing fast. With his back to Diagla, Goodra didn't see him get up and was on him as he looked back in time to see 'Dragon Tail' to hit him in the back fly into the mountains wall face first going in. With Goodra out of it for a bit he took a quick breather and glare at Palkia for using 'Sunny Day' to help Goodra in a way but stop his healing trick with water. But got a face full of 'Dragon Breath' hurting him and felt his body locking up and cursed his luck at getting paralyzed now feeling it run through him. Falling over and joined Palkia on the ground as it rolled around and throw them about and into each other as the 'Earthquake' hit them both seeing Goodra standing out of the hole slamming his tail on the ground.

As Eris watched the larger Pokémon be thrown like dolls in a child's game, she shivered again at seeing her love show off his power at handling his older brothers in this match as he was getting stronger as the long years of fighting is showing its fruits now. And was ever so happy that she was on his and her new family's side.

As both Palkia and Diagla had enough of this, both float it up and fired their own 'Flamethrower' and hit him together bathing the area in flames. As the fire was hurting him badly, Goodra not wanting to go down just yet, pulled in power in his mouth and fired high up 'Draco Meteor' and the ball exposed and began raining down fiery balls of rocks on Palkia and Diagla pounding them as each rock was hurting them more and more. When the flamers of the fire went out around Goodra show he was badly burned and was on his knee gritting his teeth in pain and one eye closed. He look on at his brothers still in the smoke and waited to see if they were done or not. As time passed in seconds that felt like hours the smoke cleared and Diagla was out cold on the ground but Palkia was still up and was grinning at him unnerving Goodra as he saw his fist glowing in a pink light and power was coming off it. With a mighty swing, Palkia throw 'Special Rend' at him. And feeling weak all ready and can't dodge in time closed his eyes and waited for it to hit him, coming up fast it hit Goodra hard as space around him was warping and was coming back to him as his body was getting hit hard from all around making him scream out in pain. As Diagla came to, all three watched Goodra scream and hear his voice come out in a distorted way and watch him hit the ground unconscious.  (End music)

As Palkia sits down to 'Rest' he closed his eyes and so does Diagla do the same laying down and recover to full health and status effects removed as well. While they snore quietly, Eris flow over to Goodra's side and keened down to look over him and all the new cuts and bruises. Picking up his head and letting it rest on her lap, she watched him with worry as he was unconscious for a while. As both Palkia and Diagla woke up and feeling more refresh from a quick nap, Goodra came to and looked up at Eris smiling to her as his did the same back and he closed his eyes and 'Rest' to and before her eyes all his injuries disappeared to and sparkling light washed over him healing to full health. As cute little snores came from him, Eris gently rub his cheek as her brothers got up and walked over to the both of them towering over them as they waited for him to wake up. Eris felt at ease with them near, but was nervous at their battle training destroyed half the mountain top and some areas still on fire. As the weather move timed out and 'Sunny Day' was not shining bright now, snow and cloud cover replace it and colder air moved in. Shaking her head a little with a sigh she snapped her cat fingers and with a flash of magic, the area was back to the way it was before the battle. As both Palkia and Diagla looked around at the power of Eris had done. They nodded in approval and looked at Goodra as he woke up from his nap and were happy to see that the cold is not bothering him as bad as it did 25 years ago when he came to the mountain top to train.

"A fine battle that was little brother! You have improved much but more you need to still do. For we didn't go all out at full power. We used only 35% our total power.” said Diagla as the air and time fought with his voice making him sound like it was coming from everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Palkia nodded in agreement and smiled at him for a good battle anyway.

Noding Goodra sat there thinking to himself over the battle, but his thoughts came back on Eris and what she was again. He has been focus on his training as a Pokémon and getting stronger and stronger but after 275 years with her, it's been bugging him about her and this world. She's a draconaquis, that is what Discord is. One of Equestria's best villains in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. But... If he is here with her, where are the ponys? Is he even on Equis, or a different world. Thinking more on it was only giving him a headache and no answer and she may not know either. Sighing to himself and coming back to that question when something comes up or if him remembers it as he will must likely get distracted with other things to do and will just enjoy his time with her. As his eyes open wide as what Diagla said hit him and forgetting about MLP now, he screams internally at only fighting them at 35% and still getting his fat butt handed to him. But then he remembers something from their battle before the end and voice it.

"Wait!? If that is true. Then why did you fall over when I hit you with Draco Meteor then?" Goodra questioned tilted his head to the side as a eyebrow raised looking at Diagla for a answer.

Eris was curious too and Palkia was chucking into his hand looking away as Diagla tis at him looking away with a light blush.

"That would be only because before we came to test you, we were fighting each other and came weakened from it. It be the only reason you got lucky!"

"Well cheese doodles. So much for that then." Goodra felt sad at only getting lucky at dropping him was because they were at it again and had weakened opponents.

"Don't feel down young one. You did well enough to still bring me down and Palkia in a 2 vs 1 battle and almost win a two K.O knock out. Don't lose hope. Keep up your training and when the time comes we can truly test you at our fullest extent and then you will be able to stand on your own against almost anyone who dear want to lay harm to you or your family." Dialga said to uplift him at seeing him sad.

As Goodra thought it over more he smiled and nodded in understanding. Leaning towards Eris, he pulled her close and hugged her as she did the same putting her black and gold cat dog arms around him. Looking at the standard battlefield that was still visible he was lost in thought about new ways to battle and what will happen now, but most importantly... he was hungry and his belly let everyone know it to as the deep rumble rolled over in the freezend air as he drooled from the thought of tasty food. As the others laughed at his belly, Eris nuzzled him and still came back with out getting silmed from his goo, which no saw.

As Eris snapped her fingers again, food popped in front of them a plant for each nodded in thanks as Goodra kissed her cheek in his own thanks.




As Arceus floated in space over Equis looking down on it, he saw the forms of new evil raising up. And their site was on the peaceful ponys and would soon learn better, but it was what their site would be on next that worried him... Goodra. His training was going very well, but it may be his training that catches there attention faster if he gets more stronger. Sighing to himself as his eyes fall on the Zebras and new bug like ponys with them and to the Griffins in the far mountains and down deep in the other mountains the night ponys the batponys. He saw them and was sad to see others show hate to the poor fruit batponies for their looks alone. And maybe he could help them find the love they are looking for and acceptance. And then the true problem, the dragons in the volcano lands to the far East over the Sea. And the island in the bottom of the world had him tense at feeling the true evils that seem to roam under it. That will have to be look into and deal with it sooner than later. But a birthday is coming up and he has some gifts that need to be gotten from his world that Goodra seems to wants as he was trying to make but failed to do so. And see if any Pokémon want to go here or not as well.

Humming to himself as he thought on it with a smile and plans to do, a golden portal opened before him and he stepped through it and disappeared when it closed.
> Mountain Halls
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the Alpha was in space over Equis. He looked down at multiple portals open showing him the Multiverse of different times, places and people in them. He saw ponys as they were, walking on all four hooves and others where they walked on their back two hooves. And they range from still being ponys with hoof hands or with hands, and have the look of human like parts. And some of those would make him blush at how they ranged from those having too little or not at all wearing clothes, if he really cared. Thinking about it now Goodra may be blushing badly if he were to see this... Hmm teasing aside maybe not. And as those thoughts go away, he looks back and see that besides the anthro ponys, there were human versions of them living in the place of ponys. And that this world is connected to another one that is like this but like Goodra's old world of true humans, with ponys as the humans living with no magic.

And sitting next to him was Faust looking with him at the portals as the images go by with a light blush at some of those of the males showing bits that she kept her eyes from staring at to long and focus on other things. Still, some of the things look like good ideas to try on her ponys as they were still young enough to change if so, but she will think about it and decide later.

Looking in other portals, Arceus saw that the hunt for any Pokémon to come here was not off to a very good start. With a little sigh he looked back up to the world before him and Faust did as he did looking at the different creatures going about their lives and the trouble the little ones are up to. Griffins are getting their feathers all ruffled up with each other and looking at others as easy targets and the dragons are getting worse. Soon Goodra will be dealing with them and he is ready to take on any foes, but an all out war on him from the others will push him to his limits and he will fall with too many numbers at once for now. But war is not something that is needed now, he can only hope it will be a problem easily fixed.

Looking at Goodra now as he was in a mine with a goofy smile and singing as he swings a pickaxe at the wall digging out gems of all kinds and hitting metal vines of ores like gold, sliver, iron and coal. Chuckling at the helmet with a light on it and seeing Eris running around with multiple of herself helping dig and hull out the treasurer for more room to work in as they dig deeper into the mountain. It's really a good thing as it will give the batponies a place to live and something to do with their free time to work on. Touching the portal to listen in what he is singing so both of them can hear, both laugh at his song as Eris is helping in her own way to play music out.

Faust was laughing so hard at seeing Eris put the diamonds to eyes wiggling her ears at her self being silly.

Withdrawing his hoof from the portal and the music stopping, he chuckled softly as he shook his head and watched as he made short work going in deeper with his stamina and strength breaking up the rock and making a very big hord of the metal and gems in 5 years and was put in a large empty cave that Eris was digging out to put it for later to be looked at and worked on. It worried him that if it were to be known, the dragons may come and try to take the hord for them selves as their greed takes over. If it does then Goodra will have to show them he is the bigger stronger dragon and as a dragon-like God, show them that he will not be taken lightly. But for now it is ok. His training is coming along nicely as of now. Taking on one of his brothers he can go at 50% of their power but can only do 39% on a two on one battle. Not much, but still good after a few years ago.

His eyes looked to the ocean as he watched three sirens play and turned to look as it seems that a few of the other 'gods' have taken notice of Goodra and Eris and finally the batponies are moving as well to Goodra by night and well get there on their own time. Blinking a little bit he sees that a small group of them of five are moving faster than the rest and is scouting out the road a head of the others and laying down signs for them to follow. Smiling to himself on this he touches the portal and adds his own help by pointing out a more fast route to the mountain that Goodra is in. To say they didn't freak when he help by adding a magic arrow and words 'This way. You are going the right way.' and disappear would be a lie as they were hiding in the trees and bushes with their eyes looking out giving them away.

With a chuckle on both parties and renewed hope they were on their way with more haste to the end journey. Withdrawing his hoof the portal settled down and moved up in time as the Batpony squid was moving closer to the mountain as it was moving closer as the images of the world around them change. In the few months they were now at the foot of the mountain looking into the deep dark entrance with uneasy at what they would find and their ears were easily picking up the sounds of metal on rock. 

With nervous steps they slowly made their way in and down with quite steps with the last sigh for the bigger group to see when they catch up. As Arceus closely watched them with his window with Faust not watching as she was now looking at ones that had her ponys and seeing them divided into three groups of their races and not in harmony and left her watching in sadness.




As the five Batponys continued to slowly walk down the tunnel deeper in the sounds of metal on rock was closer but still far off. With their eyes able to see in the dark they districted them selves by seeing the walls and ceiling as it was cut into. The ceiling was higher than they were and they were happy at seeing as it felt nice being in the dark and have room to move and fly.

"It's very nice in here. Makes one safe." One of ponies said in a whisper.

"Yes. It was a long journey to get here. I just hope it was true what we were told..."

"We will see once we meet this Goodra."

"This mountain cave does look better than what we were living before."

"Yes indeed. A forest was ok but still to open for my liking."

"Wonder how deep this goes and how big? The sound of mining still sounds far off. How far have we come?" Asked one to the side making one to look back and see that entrance was no more than a very small dot. And she answered with a weak chuckle. 

"Pretty far surprisingly."

Walking on was in quite as the far off sound of water dripping was coming now and gently breeze was running over their coats as they continue to on with their hooves gently kicked a loose rock and stop to hear it go on down and wait for a bit as the sound would fade and continue walk. The tunnel would go up and down here and there. Not often but a side passage tunnel would come up and they would stop to look down and listen to the sounds of more water dripping and or no sound at all but air coming up. It was at some time they sat down to rest that they heard the sound of metal on rock stop in front of them that set their ears twitching madly to hear what may be happing as the feel of deeper mining was going on below. Before one could speak up in concern about the lack of sound a earth shaking quake hit them and a powerful blast of wind hit making them hold on for life to the tunnel and keep their wings closed. And as soon as it came it was gone and the gently dips of water was back and left them a little out of breath and laying down with shaky hooves as they look at where it came from up a head.

"Should we be concerned about that and stop going to it?"

"We have no where else to go! I only hope we are going in the right way now... I hope that was Goodra and not some scary monster of the deep mountain."

With a shaky breath they got back up and continued to head to it and found out what it was that did that. As more time passed on the tunnel up a head had what looked like lights on the tunnel walls but not normal fire but a dark blue fire that let one to still see in the dark but give light in the right amount. With it now more lit they could see the marks in the whole tunnel and see that the floor here starting to look more smooth and the tunnel was opening more up. It was at this time they stopped again to look around as it was more vastly open and gaint stone pillers were set around going up far and out of sight in the looming darkness of the unseen roof.

It was this moment that they were districted with the sights that another blast of wind hit them sending them rolling into a piller behind as the ground shook more after it as they sit at the base looking forward out of breath again in awe and worry at being blown away by the blasts of air and having to make up the lost time walking back again. Getting back up again and resetting their bags of supplies they set off again in the new open area as their hoof steps were heard more here as more pillers and blue fire came on as they walked by as the quite air was only disturbed by the drip of water with the soft rush of air and their hard hooves on the smooth floor now making sounds as they continue to move on ever deeper into the deep dark mountain halls.

"Wow...." Said one as her voice carried on into the dark and died. In front of them was a great bridge over a chasm and when one went to the side to look over he saw lights far down below as the noises of mining were louder now and it was hard to see what was doing the digging as many shiny lights were dancing off something below and caught him in the eye, with which had him pull back as to not be blinded by it to the darkness around as he rubbed his eyes with a hoof with the others moved to see what he did but waved a hoof back to stop them.

"Not much to see but what has been digging and the metal on rock. And it's bright down there. Save your eyes."

"You ok?"

"Bright light below hit my eyes. Seeing white spots right now." He replied as he sat to blink and rub a little more as he heard a giggle to the side of him. "Yes yes. I took one for the team. Laugh it up"

Chuckles and more giggling followed by that light hearted comment as the group gave him a hug.

"Oh you brave big stallion! Thank you so much for putting your eyes on the line for us to know the dangers of looking down chasms with lights in them!" Said a mare as she nuzzle his cheek.

"Laying it a little thick are we?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about?" She giggled back.

"Har har."

"Come on gang! We still have to keep going. Goodra is some where and is not going to be found as we sit here resting." Said the group leader and stood up and began to walk over the bridge prompting the others to follow behind him as the blinded one was helped along until his night vision was back and no spots to be seen. It was about halfway over the long bridge that a bright light flashed for a moment and a greater blast of air with a sound wave came up below and the great shaking hit them as they dropped to the floor and manes being pulled by the wind up. Luckily the bridge was a good air brake so they didn't get moved this time, but the sound hit them in the chest winding them good as they lay down for a bit to catch a breath.

"Well I guess we now know where that was coming from." Commented the leader as the others nodded in agreement.

Below Eris was having fun blowing up very hard rocks so she and her clones could keep digging as there was something she could feel of high magical in nature deeper that she wanted to know. Not knowing above her five new beings crossing the bridge to Goodra.

As they were able to move again over the bridge, the end was coming up and more solid rock to move over. By the time they got near more pillers came into sight and the fires here were not blue like before but in many colored ones and under gaint stone images of many animals in groups of three. Some more or less. The first three were of great birds, one was in a normal fire of red and yellow as it looked like it was a bird of flames as the tail, wings and crest looked like flames. The second one was in the light of yellow flames and crackled like lighting. It's wings and tail were very pointy and had lighting bolts coming off it. The third was in white blue flames that felt like ice was coming from it as it looked so beautiful. Normal wings with a long flowing tail feathers and a crest of three together pointing up on the head. All breath taking in their own right. And many others had the same kind of fires and others didn't. Three big dog like ones had the same fires as before. But one had them pause as it was one of a gaint Phoenix and the flames below it was in a rainbow of all colors to really catch the eyes as they stopped to look at it a little more as it was majestic and regal looking then the Phoenix's they seen coming to here from afar. The one next to in was in a sliver light and it looked like it was in a watery background swimming. With it's gaint wings and large powerful feet. As they paired their eyes off them and continue to move on. The next murals stopped them in their tracks as they looked on the next two in angry red and deep blue flames of to powerful beasts in a all out fight as fire and earth was flying and clouds and gaint waves of water coming in to crash. It was a fear awe inspiring take of Titans of fire and earth battle against one of water. In sent shivers up their spine's thinking of being cought up in the middle of it and not making it out alive. With quick steps they moved out.

What made this all breath taking was not only the drawings on the walls had different lights to them but it looked like gems of many kinds were put into the murals to give each animal a color that was supposed to be what it looked like in life. In one had many small animals in one looking like they were all playing with each other and having fun. One was like a pink fow with a long tail flying on bubbles and one looked like it had flowers on it in a bed of flowers hiding and one with green and white with blue antenna and eyes and little wings was spinning around laughing. Three others with yellow, pink and blue colors and had more than one tail had gems on their foreheads taking a nap with each other and berries around them. Another was of one that a head of a star with small blue tassels a gray body and two yellow tails. Moving on again they stopped to see what looked like three gaint beings. One was gray and had a round head and looked like it was supposed to be metal with seven red dots in a circle and the seventh in the middle. The next was blue and sharp edges and ice like crystals on it with seven yellow dots two on each side and three in the middle up and down. The last one was brown and the shoulders were orange and rough like the rocks around them a had seven orange dots too with three on each side going vertical and one in the middle. And a bigger one was next to the three and had six eyes of three different colors and gold crests on the arms shoulders and in the middle of it's face. The middle crest had seven white dots three up and four a circle at the top with green like bushes on the shoulders and legs like it was a king or something to the smaller ones before.

The next one after was of a planet and a dragon of green and a long body with two arms above it circling. Next were of two smaller ones of blue and red. Arms that looked like they fit into place on their body's to going faster. Each had a symbol on their chest and the blue bigger one looked like a male while the smaller red one looked female. Wing like appendages on the back. After them was a big white fox and a black dragon and a deer with big horns with different colored gems in them and stound like it was a X and a red like one in the air with it's wings and tail looking like a Y and all three had claws on them and looking at it made them feel like death was watching. Moving on with a little haste they came to a stop at one that was in darker shadows with six legs and shadow wings with three red claw like points on both, and the face was hidden but two red eyes looking out that felt like it was on them and they could feel the anger coming from it. And above it was it again but with no legs and the claws looked like wings as three individual claws and were more solid and the body was more sleek-looking and was moving in the shadows to not be seen but an amber like gem was around it's neck. The next image was of a smaller creature of black with no seeable legs, claw hands and around it's neck was like a red collar with spikes and long white mane going back. The shoulders had what looked like black tattered cloth flying back in a wind. But what had their gaze was the the one icey blue eye that was not covered looking out. Looking on to the next was of a half Moon as the background and a Swan like with a blue body and a yellow belly stripe going up and yellow beak and a half moon shape crown with a pink dome on it's head. The tail was three colors of pink and shaped like a half moon and so were it's wings a darker pink the back was a white pink the middle a dark pink and a softer pink. Very beautiful it was in the moonlight.

The next one had four in it. In the top right corner and left was of two looking at each other as if ready to fight at any moment. One stound like a dragon on two legs and was of pink and white with purple lines. In the shoulder was a pinkish red peal red eyes. The other one was like a great blue lizard with light blue lines and armor on it's face legs chest and back. The chest had a light blue gem in it's center and eyes of red to. The one in the middle stound proud facing them with kind but regale gaze of red eyes in green. The body was like a pony color of white but a chest and belly of charcoal, the hooves and gold hores shoes and a golden four point ring and it's barrel and for green gem like studs in it. And the forehead had a gold diamond shape there. And laying down at it's hooves was a sleeping pink and purple dragon with three green spots on the tail and a few on the neck and had to four appendages on the head, two smaller one's in front and two large thick ones going back and end in a curl as the tail does too. It was this one that had them looking at the most as a feeling that came up that it was the one they are seeking to find down here.

As one of the mares was about to speak of what was on their minds. A door down the hall opened and out came the same sleeping dragon awake now smiling as it turned away and left with out a look to them going a different direction. Moving up to keep him in their sights the open room he was in came up and with a quick glance from all showed a dark room now as the fires went out but a throne room and a large chair was there. Moving after the supposed 'Goodra' the pillers by now had what looked like a ball that had a line in the middle of it and a button that came out. The walls showed more of murals of events that had happened in time as one showed a great desert and in one corner a lone figure walking to a mountain in the distance and in the other corner was of a figure on top of it looking out over more of the sand before it. And in a bottom corner was what looked like Goodra launching a blue ball of light into the sky. And to the final corner was of it raining on him and in the middle of it all the back of Goodra on the mountain top and water falling everywhere and the land getting greener. The next few were of him walking around in the new green background planting new and different looking fruit ls that had their mouths watering at what they may taste like if they can find them. One had them pause was of him fighting the two blue and pink ones in the last stone image in epic battle and the white pony watching or in one was fighting too. Moving forward to keep up with Goodra as he was now ahead and about to be lost to them and passed by one last mural of what looked like how this great under kingdom of the mountain was made from him and a strange creature of many animals hacked off and put together to make it.



Looking away they saw him go on into another archway disappearing from sight. Catching up to the door less passage they came to a full stop as Goodra was gone and before them was a full forest swamp underground and the sounds of crickets and frogs can be heard as they came to sitting down in shock at this and see rock walls and ceiling but had large crystals shinning in day light and blue sky. There was a fog rolling over some of the swamp as the soft sounds of water running in a river by and dripping like rain as light rubbling of thunder can be heard in the farther in with dark clouds. So shocked at seeing something that they would never have hoped to see at all, they failed to hear wet steps come up from behind but the voice did as they looked up behind them in surprise to see Goodra above as some shadows covered part of his face so they didn't see his happy childish smile but his green eyes glowing looking at them.

"It's sure is beautiful and breath taking at what one can do to fix up a place yea?" Goodra said doing his best to not reach out and hug the cute batponies in front of him for now.

"Uhh...." Was all they could say before he lost and picked up the five ponies in a gooey hug as they gave a surprise 'eep'.

"EEP!?"
> Friends
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eris was done having her fun below and stopped digging to come out and rest in the lake above that Goodra made by himself. It was sure one hack of a surprise when she came in on him to see what he was up to. But it's very beautiful down here and up above. Frankly she doesn't understand why he did it. His answer was it was by accident by finding the open area and tried to light it up to see. She feels like that is not the full answer behind it but didn't push it. 

With her copy's of her putting the gems and other things in storage for later looking at she was floating to the area where Goodra is but sees the throne room he was going to be in is empty. So to then float over to the other place he would be. Looking in the forest area she sees Goodra but something that she never expected. Five batponies are stuck to him. One that is passed out on his head belly down, one on his back to back and his legs moving like a bug another holding his tail as it's wrapped around the poor thing as it's wagging happily and one stuck to his belly trapped unable to move and one that looks like a female in his arms held like a cat on it's back being nuzzled and she bushing in embarrassment and looking like he will hurt her if she tries to stop him.

"Dear?... Why are you traumatizing the poor dears?" Eris asked coming in.

At the hearing of her voice all five stopped moving expect the passed out one and the one in the tail wrapped up. As all looked to her she looked back smiling at how funny the ponies are being.

"Sweetie! Look! I found ponies and the cute bat ones! Look at their cute little fangs!" Goodra said lifting up the one in his arms making her eep.

"I can see. Put them down."

"But I want to keep them!"

Backing up some Goodra pulled the pony in his arms closer to his neck where the large glob of goo fell on her face and to her surprise it got in her mouth and the taste of sweet lime. Pulling her mouth away from it cause it to come off his chin and fall on her belly covering her in goo. Poking his neck to get his attention got Goodra to look at her and now closer to his face and looking into his eyes she wanted to know something.

"Um.. S-Sir? We came here looking for someone." She said with a little stutter. The others would have asked but the remaining woke had goo or a tail over there mouths keeping them from talking.

"Oh?" Was his only response as she sees the glow of excitement in his eyes fades as the smile he had. The hug she was in has loosen up and he was going to let go.

Realizing that he was only happy and see them and now on what she will say next may make him let them go and sadden him. 

"There... Isn't many people around here. Only two. Me and Eris. As far as I know. You are the only new ones that has shown up." Goodra said in a low sad voice.

Eris scrunched up her eyebrows in worry at how fast his mood changed. Pulling out a PokéDex that was even to her out of a space pocket and looked at the Goodra data quietly then throwing it back in before anyone saw it.

"Well are you Goodra?" She asked as the goo on her chest covered up her lower body in a goo bubble.

Then it came off her falling on the poor guy stuck to his belly covering him up as it drapes to the floor dirty. To her surprise her coat is mush cleaner now confusing her as she looked back to the one holding her looking back shocked.

"How? .... How do you know my name before I could give it?" Goodra said in a low voice but the the four batponies heard him loud and clear as the rest stopped struggling and looked as best they could at him.

"We know because a great white pony who was taller than you told use. And that we all could be safe under your care and love. His lights lead us the scouting group to find you." She told him as she felt his breathing stop and they both looked into each other's eyes. Searching.

"My farther sent you to me?"

She nodded.

"All batponies coming here?"

Another nod as a smile came.

"Friend?"

Her smile grow with a happy nod. Goodra leaned in hugging her close nuzzling her head doing the best Perry the platypus growl and pulling loose the two on his back and belly off and hugging them to but leave the one in his tail and the one on his head be. Walking over to a near by body of water Goodra dropped the three in and sat down near as they looked back all wet and goo free.

"W-Why you do that?" The male to the left asked.

"Because you all are dirty and covered in my goo. We all need a bath." Came his response.

"It's c-cold!?" The female pony said shivering.

"Oh! Sorry let me fix that," Goodra said dropping in going under the water and coming back up with a large rock with a symbol on it. "It doesn't feel cold to me? But living on a mountain top in snow could be the reason why."

His answer left them speechless as the two that were stuck and napping were awake and together with the others filling him in on what has happened. Goodra was busy with his stone as he open his large maw catching the others attention and Eris was on a inflatable mattress floating by with shades and a mirror catching sun as he let loose a powerful Flamethrower on it as the air around them heated up fast and made all five dive to escape the inferno going on. The lights of the flames gone told them it was safe to come up. When they came up they saw the stone ball was now glowing like the sun itself and Goodra was holding it with a big smile. Then it changed as he began juggling it between hands in a comical way getting all to laugh at his silliness.

"OWOWOWOWOWOW!?!? Hot potato hot potato! Bad rock!" Dropping it in the water the glow of it can be seen still as it sinks deeper. But the water temperature of the water is going up now and gently bubbling over to the pleasure of the ponies as they relaxe help each other wash. Goodra and Eris float next to each other with her hand on his head scratching it. Goodra put his head on her bed near her shoulder nuzzling her as he sighed contently.

The ponies were done washing and lazily floated around in blis. Eris looked down at her love and see take a good look at how much bigger he is now. He is not that chubby now and more slimmer but still has that lovable belly. At her full height of nine and half feet. He is now eight and half. How much more bigger will he get? It won't matter really she will just make herself just as big to stay on his level.

"Dear why do you train so much over these many years? Couldn't you just stop and be ok at where you are now?" She asked playing with the atena on his head.

Sighing a little with a smile looking up to her.

"Because unlike the game of Pokémon. I'm really and like a really being I could lose what I gain from training. And as such I will get stronger. I don't know what is in this world that could be dangerous to me. I know now for a fact that I am on and in the world of Equss and in the coming years Equestria. I know only what's going to happen in it and a little outside it. But the rest is unknown to me. And like your magic and the rest of world it could be bad for me if I'm a target for some bad guy. So I train to so I can not be easy pickings. I can't always hope you be around to save me if the muffin hits the fan and I can't stop them or it." Said Goodra.

Eris thought that over as she bit her lip in thought. It's true that she doesn't know who else is out there and what they would do.

"And now that I think about it more. I believe that when we have a child it may be the problem for the ponies in the future. Because his name is Discord. Or it may be you that will be it causing trouble." He said licking her face causing a blush to darken her face at the mention of a child.

"O-oh!? A child you say?" She said looking at him. "Are you sure you want to?"

"We have been together for a long time dear. I'm older now but I still want to be a dad. If you still don't feel ready I'm ok. We still have time. Besides If I hear right more cute batponies are coming. And they will be like children for us to take care of. Our home here is big enough. Can we keep them?" He said turning his head cutely giving her big sad eyes.

Eris had a look of mach horror looking away from the looks she was getting with a hand feebly trying to cover her eyes. Her voice was in fake horror.

"Oh no!? Not your cute face! It's too powerful! Your ultimate move! Nooo!!!"

"Gooo~"

"Ahhh...." Eris began to melt on her bed and wrapped around Goodra reforming back to normal pulling him under the water with locked lips as the five batponies watched in wonder at what they were talking about and the end result as the lone mare 'awee' at the love in the air while some chuckled and one rolled his eyes going back to sleep floating.

"It's like I never lefted my parents behind to come up here."

"Your parents act like that?" The mare asked.

"Yup! Goofy bats they are." The one who was out the longest said.

"Awww! That's sweet!"

"Bah!"

"You know I'm curious about that gold necklace he wears? Why does he wear it for." The leader of the group thought out loud back stroking with his wings gently around them doing laps.

"I was wondering too? It's very beautiful."

Goodra came back up floating around blowing bubbles with a green blush. Eris came back up on the floating bed smiling and giggling reading a book that none could read the title was and it was upside down and glasses on with red and blue lenses.

Getting up from the water, Goodra made his way over to the edge of the pool and sat down. Remembering where his box was after putting it down when the ponies came and slapped the ground with his tail hard surprising the group and heard something the distance being hit and saw a yellow bur going up fast and aching to them. With closed eyes and the yellow bur coming fast, Goodra just put his hand in front open waiting for it to come. The ponies not knowing what was coming hide behind Eris making her smile as this little bit of chaos not looking up from reading. The bur stopped when it was catched and Goodra not seeing how the ponies took what he did. Opening it with him taking out what looked fruit catching their attention as Eris's head found five pony heads popping up around her own getting her to look at each one for moment in surprise.

Many different types of unknown but looked familiar and many they did know came out of the box as a blanket came out for the fruit to lay on. Goodra began to eat some thinking to himself not the first time in many years on if meat was ok. Distracted he was that he didn't see the five batponies in front of him looking up with big cute begging eyes. Feeling like he was being watched pulled him out of his thoughts and looked down to see five wet ponies with big eyes confusing him. As his face showed his confusion one lefted a timed hoof to point at the pile of food as their stomaches all growled.

Understanding now what was wrong, Goodra smiled at them warmly and nod his head as he shared his meal with the ponies. Getting a hug from each of them and picking some fruit they dug in. A snap was heard and five white towel fall on the ponies covering them with there heads poking out as they eat. Having a question on his head, Goodra wanted to know somethings from his guests.

"So... As batponies. What do you eat? What is your diet?" Asked Goodra.

The leader of the group spoke for them.

"Well the only meat we eat is fish. Like the pegasus. Only thing we like more of is fruit! But otherwise we are like normal poines. But they never saw it that way. Because we like to stay wake at night more then during the day. They saw us as monsters. We guess it's our looks." He finished looking down sad with the others sighing down hearted.

Nodding in understanding. "I don't see you as monsters. You all look so cute. And I have almost everything you need down here. Out of fish and hay. But I believe I can fix that or Eris could."

Looking at her they saw her with a coconut drink with a little umbrella. Taking a long drink the coconut disappeared as it was being drunk instead and what was lefted was the liquid. Throwing it behind her the liquid exploded hitting the water with a big splash scaring the ponies and getting a chuckle from Goodra.

"Don't worry. She is just having fun." He assured them.

He laughed more as they looked at him with big saucer eyes.

"That's normal!?"

"Yes my little ponies. That and more will come. You will get used to it soon enough."

They moved getting comfortable near Goodra for safety got a chuckle out of him at their antics. With apple in paw Goodra ate quietly watching Eris and thinking over the future again. Ponies are here. But what is not is music. He really missed it and reading. Maybe with the coming of the batponies here. They will make music for this quite place and fill the empty library. It be nice to relax like that again.

Looking to the back wall left him thinking about how to fix a problem for his ponies. They need fish. A lake of water won't be able to do it for the community. It will be a big project to do but maybe a ocean under ground could work. But how far down is the place and if going to far digging out would hit into the real ocean and would it fill this place with water. So in thought on theses problems that he didn't see that he had some gems with his food that he wanted to look at them later. Picking up a large uncut diamond and bit half of it and loud crunching of a rock got everyone to look at Goodra as he was holding a white rock and mumbling to himself that it the marshmallow was very crunchy then normal as he wasn't paying attention to anything. They watch as he picked up a green rock and bit into it humming about sour apple and then ate both humming more with a smile as they heard more crunching rocks.

Eris was more than surprised to see him capital of eating gems then what she has seen him do since. But guessing by the far off look in his eyes he didn't know what he was eating. Getting an idea she snapped her fingers and some sapphires in a bowl was in his hands and not paying attention heard Eris call out have some blueberries and dug in. Goodra was unfazed at all and was happily eating them humming about good berries.

"Dear! How are the gems?" Eris called out out has another gem was about to go in.

Coming out of his thoughts about to eat another one looked at Eris with a blank look. Thinking over what was said look to his hand at the fruit. Instead of a fruit he saw a sapphire chunk. Feeling uneasy a little bit about to put it in his mouth.  He was about to tell Eris this was a poor joke to play on him mixing up his food with gems. But stop when feeling little chunks of rocks in his mouth already. Sticking out his tongue for all to see blue shinny rocks. Feeling sick he was about to spit it out but stopped when the taste of blueberries came back. Risking it, Goodra muched on the gem pebbles and was surprised to taste the flavor of blueberry came back stronger. Looking at the pile of sapphire in the bowl he picked up one more and throw it in and bit on to it surprised even more at how easy it was and the explosion of fruity taste. With the thought in his head now that he is like Spike or any other dragon that can eat gems. And boy are they tasty. Going back to eating gems with a smile he gave Eris a thumbs up and a hum of delight. Eris began giggling to herself at the new meal ideas to make with gems in his diet. The ponies just looked up at him with worry as he ate rocks not knowing that the rocks were gems. But still rocks nonetheless.



Back out in the open air of the land up above the batponies came ever closer to the mountain that would be come their home. And to the one that was said to be their new protector.
