"No, Twilight." Anon said in an annoyed tone.

"How about nausia, do you feel light headed?"

"No." Anon said again.

"Well what about-"

"Twilight!... Please, give it a rest okay?"

Anon had to rub his temples to calm himself down before he did something he would regret. Sure Anon understands the precautions but humans have their limits, and Anon's breaking point is anywhere past bed time. "Twilight, nothing has changed since Nightmare inhabited my body. But as soon as I notice something is wrong with my body I'll let you know, now can I please go back to bed?"

Twilight thankfully knew when she wasn't wanted and nodded, she teleported somewhere else but right now Anon didn't give a flying stick of butter where she was, as long as she was out of his hair he could sleep soundly. "Geez, can't a human get some privacy in his own... Oh right, this is Fluttershy's couch..."

"Speaking of privacy Anon, when will you get your own house anyway?"

"Gimme some credit Nightmare, at least we got a roof over our heads right?"

"Anon the only reason I'm not going to curse you with a nightmare tonight is because your past memories touched my, or I should say our, heart. I'm going to cut you some slack, but do not abuse this act of generosi-"

"Yeah yeah yeah, blah blah mother-bucking BLAH! Can I go to sleep now, mother dearest?"

"Alright Anon, now your just asking for trouble." Nightmare tried to keep her composure but her voice had slipped up a few times, yes she was angry but Anon loved playing with his enemies regardless of their power. Also if you were wondering, yes this habit has gotten his ass thoroughly and/or repeatedly kicked on more than one occasion.

"You know you love me for it, Nightmare. Now get your demonic ass in my dream so we may do battle!"

"You? Challenge the great and beautiful Nightmare Moon to gladiatorial combat? While I admit your bravery is quite admirable for a mortal your chances of winning are almost nonexistent," Nightmare Moon said with a cocky tone, which caused Anon to smirk.

"Hey Nightmare, save the celebrations for after I win. Besides, who said we were doing that kind of battle?"

Anon then fell asleep and met up with Nightmare, when he looked at her an 8-bit battle theme started up and the area literally went black. When the darkness lifted there stood an 8-bit Anon on a platform across from her, a text box appeared over Anon's head.

'Ace Trainer Anon would like to battle!'

Nightmare took a good look at herself, she wasn't just 8-bit like Anon but was also a human! Sure a human with pitch black skin, long flowing indigo hair, wings, a unicorn horn, and an inflated chest which she could only assume was at normal size but a human nonetheless, and like a human she wore clothing which consisted of a long flowing dress fit for a ruler, it was the same texture as her hair which was a deep indigo with what looked like countless stars twinkling in the fabric. Anon's text box deleted the old text with new text.

'Ace trainer Anon sent out Shuckle!'

Anon threw a strange red and white ball and a creature came out of it in a flash of light, Nightmare Moon had to hold back her laughter at the sight of it. It appeared to be a worm creature inhabiting a shell made from stone, it lacked any kind of intimidation and even some would call it cute but all in all it looked absolutely pathetic.

'PkMn Trainer Nightmare sent out Crawdaunt!'

A large lobster-shaped creature was summoned by Nightmare's ball, it snapped it's large pincers at Shuckle causing it to flinch. Crawdaunt was at least more impressive than Shuckle at first glance but Nightmare learned that looks can be deceiving when she was defeated be the elements of harmony a few months back. "Keep your guard up my aquatic pet, this one may hold a few secrets."

Crawdaunt nodded and snapped it's pincers to get it's competitive blood heated, then Shuckle's shell ejected four lanky tentacle-like appendages that weakly slapped the ground in unimpressive fury. Surely this would be a battle of the ages if it wasn't so one sided.

(Elsewhere)

Princess Luna was quietly thinking to herself about what her sister said about this 'human' creature that's caused such an outrage, and about what was currently inhabiting it's body. "Sister said not to worry about Nightmare Moon but... I just need to make sure." Luna used her dream walking spell and entered the dream of the human. She raised a brow in confusion upon viewing the subconscious battle going on in the human's head. "What in the name of sister's sun?"

In all honesty she expected the human to be in chains while being constantly tortured by Nightmare Moon, but instead they were in a digital world commanding strange creatures to battle each other. One was a large lobster that had another creature in a bone-crushing grip, the other creature was currently hiding in it's shell flailing a yellow tentacle around in an effort to slap the lobster's eye. In a way it was kinda cute like a kitten trying to take down a full grown sheep-dog, but as cute as it may be it had very little effect until it actually smacked the lobster's eye. The crustacean recoiled back in pain and lost his grip on the other creature, the creature's little head poked out of one of the shell's craters and shot a strange purple liquid at the lobster.

'Shuckle used Toxic! The opponent Crawdaunt was badly poisoned!'

"By Starswirl's beard, this 'human' is almost as mentally unstable as Discord,-" Luna then pondered on her words for a brief moment, then nodded to herself."-Hmm... I wonder if the forbidden archives have any recordings on these humans, I mean Starswirled's notes DID predict the coming of those dreadful extraterrestrials a thousand-five hundred years ago and getting rid of those pests was a very tedious situation by itself, next to hiding the story from the media of course... Maybe that walking spell-book of an old stallion predicted our friend's arrival as well..." Luna canceled the dream walking spell and made her way to the royal library to search for any records of humans.

(Roughly 45 minutes later)

Believe it or not Starswirled actually had a single book with notes on the humans, though it wasn't much it was certainly informative. "Hmm... Bah, I should've known that stallion was full of hot air. I mean, who would believe that humans rode on giant mechanical birds or played with boxes that had big green X's on them for days upon days without rest? Also, what in Equestria is a 'Japan' and why do they look so cute from this drawing of... I believe it says, chibi? Well I could be wrong with proper pronunciation, but then again human and Equish are practically the same language. Maybe it's a breed of human or possibly a juvenile? I mean from the different drawings here some of these humans seem to be hybrid combinations with different animals such as a cat or dog, so the possibility of different breeds aren't entirely out of the question... The only thing that seems off is this 'Japan' region is the only place that holds them, but this could be a mere coincidence,-" Luna closed the book and levitated it back into the dusty shelves, she exited the forbidden archives and wandered the halls as she thought to herself. "-If I'm going to study further into this I may need some professional help, and if it's for the safety of our citizens then I suppose I should start now," Luna teleported to her bed chambers and activated the dream walking spell to see if any of the sleeping ponies had any leads, sure it was a little unorthodox but after what Nightmare Moon put her through she learned very well never to take things lightly. What was the first lead you ask yourself? Well the human himself of course, and it turns out the two were still battling so it looks like Luna's getting some info and a show!

(Anon's Dream scape)

"Damn it all, I knew this little worm would be trouble," Nightmare moon was in quite a pickle indeed, Anon's Shuckle had already wiped out four of her Pokemon which were her Crawdaunt, Gothitelle, Talonflame, and Dusknoir. She currently had out a Ferrothorn that was thankfully immune to Shuckle's Toxic and Ferrothorn's ability Iron Barbs combined with the strong defense made Shuckle more cautious about attacking it directly.

"Ferrothorn, use spikes!"

The green barb on Ferrothorn's head shot out in an arch, it bursted mid-flight releasing countless little pieces of shrapnel that laced Anon's side of the field. Now it was Anon's turn. "Cute Nightmare, but that's not gonna save you. Shuckle, bind!" Shuckle's arms wrapped around Ferrothorn's left tentacle and squeezed down, Ferrothorn didn't really look hurt by it and the Shuckle was taking more damage from the attack as Iron Barbs took some of it's health. Nightmare deadpanned at Anon. "Really Anon, is that it?"

The Ferrothorn looked down at the Shuckle as if it just now noticed Shuckle was there. Ferrothorn really couldn't make any facial expressions since it only had a pair of eyes but it was questioning to itself if it should simply throw the little pest off it's arm or indulge it out of pity, the thinking was halted when Nightmare gave the next command. "Ferrothorn, use worry seed to put a stop to it's dreadful healing." Ferrothorn lifted the Shuckle over it's head and the new green barb retracted into his head, small seeds flew out and attached themselves to Shuckle's skin.

'Shuckle's ability changed to Insomnia!''

The only reason that damn Shuckle was still alive was because of that move called Rest, which kept healing Shuckle to full health and would cure it of status problems, the only drawback was it would go to sleep for two turns but Shuckle's defenses made that problem almost nonexistent! Again, Anon didn't seem to care as he smirked with confidence. "You just don't give up do you? Alright Shuckle, use Bide!"

Now this was a move Nightmare had not seen yet, so when Shuckle started glowing Nightmare decided to kill it off immediately. "Ferrothorn, use Wring out!" Ferrothorn used all it's strength to squeeze Shuckle, the move took about more than half it's total health which surprised Nightmare.

'The opponent's Shuckle is storing energy!'

"Ferrothorn, Power Whip!" Ferrothorn slammed Shuckle on the ground with the tentacle that Shuckle clung onto for dear life, Shuckle was in the red zone now!

'Shuckle unleashed energy!'

Shuckle's tentacle slugged Ferrothorn with so much strength that Ferrothorn was sent flying across the room, slamming into and afterwards destroying a large boulder. When the smoke cleared Ferrothorn was still standing with many cracks and dents on it's steel hard shell, then it fell in defeat shortly after the suspense.

'Ferrothorn fainted!'

One Pokemon left, only one Pokemon that may or may not decide Nightmare's faith in this battle. "Hey Nightmare, before you throw that ball hear me out!"

"What do you want, Anon?"

"I'm gonna make a bet, if I win you gotta do whatever I say for the rest of tomorrow," Nightmare raised her brow, sure she was stuck with utter defeat but why not humor the hairless ape? "Okay Anon, but if I win... I get three commands that you MUST obey if it's within your power to do so, and I can use them anytime I want, deal?" Anon smirked and gave Nightmare a thumbs-up, obviously too cocky to worry about Lady Luck but it's not like Nightmare has any chance against him! "Deal, now throw out your final Pokemon and taste defeat!"

Nightmare threw the pokeball and the creature came out in a blinding light which was followed by a mighty roar!

'PkMn Trainer Nightmare sent out Gyarados!'

The atrocious red sea serpent was definitely big, and the face it had made it look even more threatening along with angry, bloodthirsty, and down-right scary! It thrashed about in an outrage for unknown reasons, it could be a way of getting it's blood boiling for battle or maybe it's trying to frighten the opponent by displaying it's full power, or maybe it's simply thrashing about out of pure anger like a belligerent psychopath but regardless of reason it was completely out of control! "Sweet lovers of Aphrodite, the Red Gyarados of the Lake of Rage! Nightmare, you gotta control that beast before it kills us!"

"I'm trying as hard as I can Anon, but this thing's anger makes most Minotaur look tame! Dammit, obey your master you wretched abomination!" The Gyarados started firing off Hyper-beams as it thrashed about adding more danger toward trying to calm it down, eventually though Nightmare had enough of this tantrum. "That's ENOUGH!" Nightmare's Canterlot voice took hold and shook the dream scape with it's sheer power, it also silenced the Gyarados and caused it to lock up."Now you listen to me and listen good because I do NOT like to repeat myself! You are to heed my command without question and you will do it without hesitation, if you break any of these rules I will see it as an act of insubordination and will be followed by a punishment far worse than your mind can even begin to conceive, are we clear!?" The Gyarados timidly nodded, which caused a smile to grow on Nightmare's face. "Good, now destroy that Shuckle with Dragon Rage!"

Blue flames erupted from Gyarados' mouth, pelting the Shuckle and instantly knocking it out. Dragon Rage is a special move that ignores stats by having fixed damage unlike most moves that have to take in the target's defenses, it always does forty damage to the target and in Shuckle's case will completely destroy it since Shuckle's main strategy is endure all attacks and inflict status problems like Toxic on the opponent. Anon returned Shuckle and grabbed another ball. "One down Nightmare, only five more to go!" Anon threw the pokeball and sent his next pokemon out to battle.

'Ace Trainer Anon sent out Shedinja!'

The Pokemon Shedinja was quite literally just an empty husk, it may have the record of the Pokemon with the lowest possible health in the entire series with only one health point which also means literally any attacking move could kill it in one hit besides False Swipe but it's true power shines in it's ability Wonder Guard which nullifies any attack unless it's super effective making it almost invincible!

'The opponent's Shedinja was hit by Spikes! Shedinja fainted!'

Unless of course it's damaged by status problems, weather damage, or field hazards in which case it will faint instantly. The Shedinja simply floated in the air shortly after the text box announced this then fell to the ground with a loud thump, Ferrothorn's spikes from earlier making it faint it as soon as it was sent out.

Nightmare Moon was confused at what just happened, the creature Anon sent out took damage from spikes and fainted instantly. Nightmare could question this further but decided to just roll with it for the time being. "Two down, Anon."

"Yeah yeah, that was just luck!" Anon took out another pokeball and threw it.

'Ace Trainer Anon sent out Shedinja!'

'The opponent's Shedinja was hit by Spikes! Shedinja fainted!'

"Sonova bitch! Really!?" Anon threw another pokeball and another Shedinja popped out that fell in defeat. It was at this point Anon was starting to get a little nervous, what if his entire team consisted of these things!? Anon threw out his fourth pokeball and Shedinja popped out, then fainted from spikes.

Nightmare was laughing her ass off at Lady Luck biting Anon in the ass, he was down to his last Pokeball and was hesitant on throwing it in fear of it being yet another Shedinja. "What's the matter Anon, getting cold feet?"

"Put a sock in it, Nightmare!" Anon threw the ball and crossed his fingers, hoping it wasn't what he feared.

'Ace Trainer Anon sent out Raichu!'

Anon sent out the powerful electric mouse Pokemon Raichu, which left Anon bewildered. "Raichu, use Thunderbolt," Anon said with no trace of emotion left, then the Raichu launched an arch of lightning at Gyarados that hit dead center.

'Gyarados' cell battery absorbed the attack! Gyarados' attack rose!'

"Gyarados, use Earthquake," That Thunderbolt would have instantly K.O.'d Gyarados but instead it's held item gave it immunity and boosted it's attack stat, and Anon watched as his hopes and dreams were crushed like the ground underneath his Raichu was crushed by Earthquake.

'Ace Trainer Anon has no usable Pokemon left, PkMn Trainer Nightmare wins!'

The music came to a halt and the digital dimension reverted back to normal. Nightmare stood over Anon while in human form which was strange considering the men were taller than the woman but Nightmare was at least six inches taller than Anon,she stood over the pouting human with a shit-eating grin. "I believe we have a deal, Mr. Anon."

"Fine, what do you want?"

"In due time Anon, in due time..."

"Uh, Nightmare? I'd hate to be that guy but would you kindly get your sweater stretchers outta my face before you hurt me with them?"

Nightmare raised a questioning brow at Anon, then her mouth curved into a mischievous smile. "Oh, so my little human has some self control?"

"Nightmare I'm as much a man as any other human male that I know but I'd be in prison if I never learned proper restraint. Also, why are you getting closer?"

"Whatever do you mean Anon?" Nightmare took a step forward, and Anon took a step back.

"Hey, Anon," Nightmare said as she took a step closer.

"gulp Y-yeah?"

Nightmare Moon had him against an invisible wall, she leaned into his face, ever so slowly breaking his personal space (hey, that rhymed!). Her face crept closer and closer to Anon's, he could feel her breath wash over his blushing red face. She leaned into Anon's ear of all places, then spoke in a whispered voice. "I think somebody needs a hug..."
