With New Darkness Comes New Light

     After walking for the remainder of the day, two pokemon and three ponies reached the outskirts of the Everfree Forest. The sun was beginning to set, but Flare didn't care. She waltzed right in to the forest, unaware that a pair of dark green eyes were watching their every move. A large, wooden wolf.

................................................................................................................................................

     "Great. Now we are lost in the middle of the night, in the Everfree! Thanks Flare!"

     The red stallion grumbled in anger. "Im supried we haven't been attacked by Timberwolves yet!"

     Ella and Talon froze and looked at Cloud. "You do know what you have just done, right?" they said together.

     "What did I do?" Cloud said in a similar fashion to a certian blue siren.

     Ella facepalmed. Facepawed? Whatever, she hit her face.

     "If my running from the law has shown anything, its to not tept fate." She said to herself, before saying out loud, "You... You have doomed us all."

     It was at that exact moment that a large pack of dog-like creatures lept from the bushes and surrounded the group.

     "Timberwolves!" Shouted Cloud, taking off in to the air. "Fly away, you guys!"

     Ella lept on to Talonstrike, ready to fly off, when she saw that Storm was struggling to lift up Flare. However, the wolves were already surrouding her, making it impossible to dive in and save them.

     And then a large blast of fire came from the trees. The fire blasted away the wolves, buning them to a few small piles of ashes, which Talonstrike blew away with his Gust attack.

     "Whos there?!" Ella yelled, leaping off of the now-landed Talonflame.

     "E-Ella?" Said a smooth voice. "Is that you?"

     "I know that voice!" Talonstrike said, swooping in to the trees. He came out holding a large, silver fox in his talons.

     "Velvet!" Ella yelled, leaping to the fox and giving her the biggest hug she could, considering she was a Eevee.

     "Ella? You... You're an Eevee?" Said the Shiny Ninetails. "Oh! Thats what Arceus ment by the 'Humans who had gone through changes'! It all makes sense now!"

     Ella giggled a bit before leaping off of the fox and landing on her four feet, a little clumsily considering she was still getting used to walking on four feet.

     "Yeah. We were actually going to talk to him about all... this." She gestured to the ponies and her new pokemon form. "Wanna come?"

     Ella knew that Velvet would come without hesitation, and was proven right when she wagged her tails and leapt to her side.

     "You expected me to leave you? Not a chance!" She said happily, giving Ella a hug with her tails.

     "Alright! Lets go and... well..." Ella started, but then trailed off when she noticed the look on the ponies faces.

     "We're lost, aren't we?"

     The three ponies looked down sheepishly. Ella sighed and looked at Talonstrike. "Find the way to Arceus's home. It shouldn't be hard to spot. Probably some big gold building or something."

     Talonstrike nodded and took off in to the sky. It was around sunrise when he returned, his body glowing with a Flame Charge to provide light and boost his speed.

     "I found it." He said as the flames vanished. He landed and pointed with a wing. "Its that way, about half a days travel if we all fly. I can carry Velvet and Ella without a problem, and if Cloud and Storm carried Flare, we should be there pretty quickly.

     With the plans made, and Flare balancing carefully between Cloud and Storm with her horn light up, using levitation to help make herself lighter, the group set off.

................................................................................................................................................

     Ella stod in front of the Hall of Legends, her jaw nearly hitting the floor. It was huge, bigger than she ever thought possible, and shared a resemblance to some ruins in the Sinnoh region. Ella shook her head and walked twords the entrance, ony to be stopped by two golem-like statues who, untill this point, Ella had thought to be made of stone.

     "What is it that you seek here?" Said the first, who looked to be made of ice.

     "I want to see Lord Arceus." Ella said. "I have some questions."

     "Names?" Said the next, this time made of rock.

     "Ella, Velvet, Talonstrike, Rainstorm Cloud, Cloud Ace, and Flare Moon." She said, gesturing to each pokemon and pony as she did so.

     "Enter." Said the golems, stepping aside. Ella walked in, her friends in tow, and followed the main hall to a large room at the end. She knocked on the door and, much to her suprise, it opened instantly.

     "Greetings. I am guessing you are here to speak with me?" Asked the Aplha pokemon, who was sitting at the other end of the room.

     "Yes, I am, Lord Arceus." Ella said, quickly bowing. All of her other pokemon followed her   lead.

     "Rise, my subjects. Now, what is it you would like to ask?" Arcues asked in a fatherly tone.

     "I am here to ask more about the... transportation, as well as my team." Ella said. "Where can I find my friends?"

     Arceus's eyes glowed gold for a moment before he spoke again. "Your team has been seperated across the globe. Your Garchomp is in Whitetail Woods. The Umbreon and Jolteon are in Canterlot, while Lucario is in Manehatten. Is that all?"

     Ella nodded her thanks before opening her mouth to ask another question. Before she could, however, Arcues inturrupted her.

     "No, you can not be human again."

     Ella frowed but nodded anyways. She turned and left, but not before hearing Arcues say one last thing.

  "Now, if that is all, I must go and talk to my daughter. Latias told me something about her getting in to coffee..."

     And with that, the god was gone.

     Ella smiled and giggld a little bit.

     "Lets go and find the team, then." She said before walking out. Then, she remembered something. "Wait... Theres someone I need to speak with."

     Ella walked away from the large room and down the hallway, looking for a certian legendary. She saw one she knew of, Dialga, and walked over to him.

     "Um... Excuse me, Lord Dialga, may I ask where Lady Crecessila is at the moment?" She asked.

     The blue dragon looked down at her with a smile. "Down the hall, third door on the left." He said before going back to exaniming the painting on the wall.

     Ella thanked him before following his directions. She arrived at a pink door decorated with hearts and a cresent moon. Smiling she knocked on the door with a few light headbutts. The door was surrounded in a blue aura before opening, and a sweet voice called out "Come in!"

     Ella walked in to the brightly decorated room, filled with flowers and hearts. In the middle was the legendary of love, Crecessila.

     "Lady Crecessila. I'm glad to see you again." Ella said, before remembering her new body. "I am Ella Cordon. You helped me one time in a dream. Helped me sort out my feelings for an Umbreon named Starflare. Remember?"

     The love pokemon nodded. "Indeed, I do. Tell me, Ella, why have you come here?"

     "To thank you. I never was able to do it properly in the dreams, but thank you so much. Starflare and I have bee so happy together thanks to you. I owe you my entire life of happiness." Ella said truthfully.

     Crecessila chuckled at the excessive thank yous. "Its nothing, really. It is my job to help others with love."

     Ella nodded. "Still, thank you. I will be on my way now. I have to go and find my friends."

     "Okay. You are welcome back any time, Ella. Maybe one day we can become good friends."

     And with that, Ella and her team, along with three ponies, walked out of the temple and took off in to the open skies.

................................................................................................................................................

     Ella awoke the next morning to the sound of a battle. She was up instantly, but then calmed down when she saw it was only Velvet and Talon sparring while Storm, Cloud, and Flare watched.

     Ella walked over to the group and sat down, watching the two battle.

     "Wing Attack!" Talonstrike called, diving down at Velvet. However, the silver fox was ready and lept up, landing on Talon's back. She used her tails to hold on while using her claws to attack him with a flurry of scratches. Talon cawed in pain and began to dive at the ground while doing a spin, trying to shake off Velvet. However, Velvet was smart and lept off at the last second while pushing Talon down, causing him to crash in to the ground. Velvet landed gracefully on her paws while Talonstrike tried to stand up. Before things could go any farther, though, Ella stepped in.

     "Thats enough. We don't want anyone getting seriously hurt." She said. She walked over to Talon and helped him up, then moved him over to where the ponies were. "Got any healing stuff?" She asked.

     "No, sorry." Said Storm. "But he will be alright, right?"

     "Of corse I will!" Talon said pridefully. "I never loose!"

     "Except when you do." Giggled Velvet, comming up behind Talon.

     "Yeah, yeah, say what you want. I wasn't trying then. I... umm... I let you win! Yeah, thats right. I was being a gentlemon." Talon defended himself.

     Velvet giggled again and walked over to a patch of grass before laying down to rest for a little bit.

     "No time to rest, Velvet. We have to go find the team." Ella said, to which Velvet grumbled but stood up all the same. Ella then turned to the ponies. "Which place that Arceus told us about is the closest?"

     "Probably Canterlot. But before we go, theres someone I want to visit in Ponyville." Flare said.

     "Okay, but we have to be quick." Ella said. "I have to find my friends."

     "Right. Come on, I'll take you to her." Said the unicorn, bouncing off.

................................................................................................................................................

     The group stood in front of a small house on the edge on Ponyville. Flare knocked on the door, which opened to reveal a pink Pegasus with an orange mane. Her cutie mark was that of three orange clouds. She also had a pheniox resting on her back.

     "Flare! Good to see you again, girl! I see you got some Pokemon friends too?" The pegasus said. She opened the door all the way, revealing two pokemon, a Pidgy and a Stariava.

     "Come on in. We have so much to catch up on!" Said the pink pegasus, stepping back and letting the others in. Ella walked in behind Storm, and lept on to the couch.

     "Everyone, this is my sister, Summer Moon." Said Flare Moon happily. "Summer, these are my new friends, Ella, Talonstrike, and Velvet. Speaking of which..." Flare let out another shock-wave of magic. It passed through Velvet, Pidgey, and Staravia, allowing them to speak.

     "What was that?" Asked the Staravia.

     "Translation Spell." Flare said. "Lets you guys talk to the ponies."

     Ella smiled, then looked at the large red bird. "Whats the bird on your back?" Asked Ella.

     "Oh, him? His names Blaze. He is my pet Pheniox. Isn't that right, Blaze?" Sky cooed, nuzzling the bird.

     Blaze cawed in responce, raising his wings to show off.

     "Anyways, Ella," Flare began, trying to hold back a laugh from Blaze's antiques. "Why don't you tell them about yourself?"

     "Well, my name is Ella Farland Cordon, a pokemon trainer from the Kanto region. My job is to train pokemon and help them get stronger along side me..."

................................................................................................................................................

     After some small talk with Summer, Ella decided it was time to go. The group thanked Summer for her kindness and left the house. Several ponies who were brave enough to be outside looked at them in confusion, but continued on their daily buisness.

     "So, off to Canterlot then?" Talonstrike asked, hovering in the air.

     "Yup! Storm, whats the fastest way to get there?" Asked Ella.

     "That would be the Friendship Express. Its a train at the other end of ponyville.

     "Alright." Ella smiled. "Lets go find the team!"

................................................................................................................................................

     Ella stared at the bright, colorful train in front of them known as the Friendship Express. The very thought of riding on it was revolting, considering it was extreamly girly. In case you didn't know, Ella was NOT a girly girl. She was more of a tomboy, and hated when people thought differently.

     "Yeah, no. I'm not riding that. I feel my manly amazingness draning away just by looking at it." Said Talonstrike. "I'll just fly there and follow the tracks. Have fun, girly little Ella!" He teased. He then took off so fast, Ella didn't even get a chance to retort. She watched him go with a loud growl before turing around and marching proudly in to the train. If Talon was going to make a joke like that, then fine. She would prove him wrong.

     The three ponies looked at Velvet, who shrugged before walking on to the train behind Ella. The two Pegsi and Unicorn walked past the conductor, to whom they gave their and the pokemons tickets, before trotting in to the train as well and sitting by the two fox pokemon.

     The train whistle blew and the doors closed before the train whisked away, heading to the capital of Equestria, Canterlot.
