Beauty of life

Calem was in the deepest part of the Team Flare Secret HQ, standing in front of a cage, surrounded by four metallic wires, in which a lavander-coloured flower was absorbing energy given by the machine. Then, it started glowing, emitting a light, which became brighter after time. It was also surrounded by a purple aura which disappeared shortly after. Then, the cage itself disappeared and revealed a levitating, fairy-like creature with lavender-coloured skin ans wings, pony-like ears, long purple hair and a cute pink dress with boots. Calem opened his mouth a little after witnessing her.

Twilight, the legendary Pokémon, had just awakened. She broke the glass surrounding the cage and landed, invoking fear in Calem. Instead of attacking, however, she looked at him and asked him a question.

"Is everything alright?"

Calem wanted to ask if she can talk, but instead burst into tears and got on his knees

"Oh dear. Did I scare you? I didn't want to, sorry."

"No, it's nothing." He sniffed and stopped crying."But why aren't you attacking me?"

"Why would I do that?" she asked and offered him her hand so that he could stand. Then, she introduced herself.

"I'm Twilight, Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Life."

"I'm Calem. Nice to meet you." he replied, confused of the friendly behavior of this Legendary Pokemon. Shortly after, someone else entered the room. It was Calem's friends, Shauna and Serena.

"Hi there, Calem." Shauna said. "So you befriended the Legendary Pokemon?"

"Hey there, I'm Twilight Sparkle. Nice to meet you too."

"It can talk?" Serena shouted.

"She. Can't you see I'm a female?" Twilight replied, annoyed.

"So this is the mighty Twilight Sparkle? Pff. I excpected more from the Legendary Pokemon of the Kalos region." Lysandre, Team Flare's boss, appeared in the room. "But you think you will stop my wish of destroying this horrible world? I'll take back the legendary Fairy Pokemon and the Ultimate Weapon shall be complete" he said, tightly grabbing Twilightps hand. She responded by screaming out for help.

"Help! Help! Ahhh!"

"Leave her alone!" Calem said, freeing Twilight from Lysandre's grip.

"Oh, look what we have here: a young little hero who saves his Princess of Life. But playtime is over, wake up and watch the inevitable end of this world."

"Not if I stop you. I challenge you to a Pokemon Battle!" Calem replied, with a serious tone in his voice. "the winner will take Twilight Sparkle."

"So be it!" Lysandre said and picked a Pokéball."Go, Mienshao." He threw it on the ground and the Pokemon Mienshao appeared.

"Mien" said the pokemon.

"Go, Warampharos!" Calem shouted, and throwed his Pokeball. A a yellow sheep-Pokemon without wool, an Ampharos, appeared. He was holding an Ampharosite and was really wanted to win, even more so than Mienshao.

"Warampharos, listen. You can't lose this battle and neither can your friends. A mistake will be fatal for our world, so we can't afford mistakes this time, okay?"

"Amph" the Pokemon replied.

"And now..." Calem pushed a button on his Mega Ring, which emitted a multi-coloured light. The Ampharosite started glowing and surrounded Warampahros in a sphere of light. Shortly after, it disappeared and he gained Wool hair and a wooly tail. This was his Mega Evolution. It roared at Mienshao (or at least tried to) but it didn't scare it.

"Mienshao, Swords Dance!" Mienshao's "hands" became longer and the Martial Arts Pokemon performed a strange vigorous dance.

"Warampharos, Thunderbolt" the Light Pokemon unleashed a powerful thunderbolt, which hit Mienshao and  caused him to faint. Lysandre withdrew him back into the Pokeball and sent out Pyroar, the Royal Pokemon.

"Pyroar, Hyper Voice" the Fire Pokemon's roaring created sound waves, which slammed Wampharos into a wall.

"Warampharos, are you alright?" the Pokemon nodded in response.

"Okay, use Thunderbolt again" Warampharos used another thunderbolt, which shocked Pyroar and made him faint. Lysandre withdrew him back into the pokeball and sent out another Pokemon. This time, it was a Honchkrow.

"Honchkrow, Night Slash" the Pokemon's wings became black and he slashed Warampharos with them, dealing a lot of damage. Nevertheless, it wasn't enough to make him faint.

"Warampharos, Thunderbolt again" Warampharos used thunderbolt and Honchkrow fainted.

Lysandre, full of anger, screamed.

"Who you do think you are?"

"Just me" he responded, doing a thumb-up and winking.

"Let's see if you'll mantain this boasting attitude. Go, Gyarados!" he sent out a snake-like Pokemon with a very scary face. Warampharos seemed to have victory in his reach, but Lysandre activated a little tool, which resembled a Mega Ring.  Then, Gyarados' Gyaradosite glowed and the Pokemon transformed in the same manner of Warampharos, becaming Mega Gyarados.

"Warampharos, return" Calem decided to use Warampharos later, knowing that pokemon is very strong. He chose Flygon as a substitute. "Flygon, Rock Slide." Flygon summoned rocks from the ceiling of the Lab, which weren't very effective againts Gyarados. Calem was suprised.

"What?! Gyarados should have taken much more damage."

"Because, my dear, Gyarados changed his type: now he's Water/Dark type. And his attack strengh is much higher now"

"Oh."

"Gyarados, Outrage" Gyarados went berserk and hit Flygon with his head and his tail many times, eventually making the Mystic Pokemon faint. Next, Calem sent out Chesnaught, but it too fainted when Gyarados unleashed it's fury upon it. Gyarados was now confused but Lysandre gave him a Lum Berry, which immediately removed its confusion. Shortly after, Calem sent out a Helioptile who attacked him with a Thunderbolt, doing a lot of damage while he was distracted but counter-attacked with an Earthquake, making Helioptile faint.Now Calem had only two Pokemons left, Charizard and Warampharos.

Charizard attacked him with a Dragon Claw, weaking him by a great ammount but defeated when the Gyarados used Aqua Tail. Now he only had Warampharos, weakened by the other attacks, to fight Gyarados, who was a lot faster. Lysandre burst into a maniacal laugher.

"Who's winning now? Gyarados, finish him with Outrage." the Pokemon went berserk again and was going to hit Warampharos.

Twilight, who was watching the battle and hiding behind Calem due to fear, decided to take action. She leaned out of cover and shooted a Moonblast from her hand which immediately made Gyarados faint.

Lysandre noticed that Moonblast and knowing Ampharos couldn't learned it, assumed it was Twilight, a Fairy/Psychic, who helped Ampharos win.

"This isn't fair. The Legendary Pokemon wasn't supposed to interfere with the battle!" he shouted.

"But I..." she tried to response, but she was interrupted by the Team Flare Boss.

"Silence. Now you shall be punished."He showed them his hand which had a glowing button on it. "If you really wanted to battle for the life of the Earth, then you'll pay with living...FOREVER" He pushed the button and activated the Ultimate Weapon. Twilight, not losing her mind, quickly teleported everyone out of the building just in time before the machine sent a beam from the sky. When they turned back, they saw the Team Flare HQ destroyed. For some reason, Lysandre was also saved by Twilight, along with other members of Team Flare. Shortly after, they ran away.

"Why did you do that, Twilight? Why did you let escape Lysandre?" Calem asked her

"Because I didn't want anyone to die. You saw what happened to the lab. I didn't expect that to happen but the Ultimate Weapon destroyed itself. I think they've learned their lesson."

Serena changed the subject of the dialogue.

"What are you going to do now, Calem? If i'm not wrong, you only need one more badge to get into the Pokemon League. Well done!

"I think I'm going to the Pokemon Center, it's late. And you?" he replied.

"I think I'll return to Vaniville Town. Shauna, do you want a ride?"

"Of course."

"In that case, see you later." Calem said as he saw Serena leaving. Now he was alone with Twilight and to shorten their way to the Pokemon Center, he begun asking her questions.

"Hey, Twilight."

"What's up?"

"You live forever? What do you feel?"

"I don't know."

"What? You don't know what you feel?"

"I don't. I was in a very long sleep for most of my life. The last time I was free was two years ago."

"And...  how was it?"

"I don't want to talk about it" Twilight responded, lowering her head as they were entering the Pokemon Center.

"Okay, I'll skip this part" Calem said, while he was giving his Pokeballs to Nurse Joy, who smiled, as she always did.

"You're... you're the legendary Twilight Sparkle!" Nurse Joy shouted. "Everybody, here is the..." Calem put his hand over her mouth.

"No, she's just... ehm... my cousin who...  wants to participate in a Pokemon Cosplay Contest"

"Ah, why didn't you say so?" she said and put the Pokeballs in the machine, healing the pokemon inside. She then handed him the pokeballs. "Here are you pokemon. Are you going to stay here fot the night?"

"Hm-mh" they nodded.

"Well then, I hope you'll have a good rest." They went upstairs, using Calem's special Trainer Card to rent a room. They also continued their conversation.

"What were we talking about?" Calem tried to remember where the dialogue left off."Ah, yes, you didn't want to talk about that one time when you were free and awake."

"Yeah."

"What if I teach you what life is all about?"

"Hm? I don't understand." Twilight was confused.

"It's simple: we're going to do a lot of things and you'll learn how to life, since you're the Princess of Life."

"Well, that sounds interesting." said Twilight enthusiastically.

"Alright. We'll decide tomorrow what we're going to do" After that, Calem looked at Twilight. "Umm, you don't have any pyjamas."

"What are pyjamas?" Twilight asked him

"Pyjamas are things you wear when you sleep. Here, have some from me." He gave her cute blue pyjamas.

"I'm going to change into them in the bathroom so you can undress calmly.

"Why is that a problem for you?"

"It's for your privacy. I'll just change in the bathroom." They both put on pyjamas and went to sleep.

"Calem?" she asked him, half-asleep.

"Yes?" he said, almost alseep.

"I'm so excited for tomorrow"

"Me too"

"Good night"

"Good night, Twilight."
