With New Darkness Comes New Light

     Ella stared at the pony that had entered the warehouse. He was a dark orange unicorn with a mane and tail of three colors, red, yellow, and green. His horn was light up a bright yellow, and his eyes were glaring hatefully at the Pokemon.

     "What are you doing in my warehouse?" He asked, his horn glowing brighter.

     Ella growled at him. "Who are YOU doing is what you should be asking. Why are you locking up these Pokemon for no reason!?"

      "Simple." The pony said. "To kill them."

     Ella gasped, then growled again. "How dare you?! Pokemon are living, sentient beings, and you want to just KILL THEM?!"

     The last two words were spoken loudly as her growl echoed through the warehouse.

     "Ella just used Growl..." Whispered Velvet. "That's an attack that lessens the opposing Pokemon attack power."

     "There's a simple explanation for why." The pony said. "One of them attacked my sister. And nearly killed her." He then chuckled. "Oh how rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Twisted Spectra, expert in Mind Magic. I can control minds with a single thought, as shown by my cutie mark."

     He then turned slightly, revealing a mark on his flank. It was a golden staff with a blue orb on the top. The staff was surrounded by a swirling magical aura, and behind it was a pair of dark, red eyes.

     "See? Mind control. The staff represents control, as rulers often have a staff, and the aura represents magic. The eyes signify the mind and soul, as eyes are often thought to be a gateway to both."

     Ella growled. "I don't care who you are, mister Curly Rainbow. I want you to release these Pokemon. NOW!"

     Again, her last word was spoken with a growl attack, amplifying it.

     "Oh, no. I'm afraid I can't do that." Said Twisted with an evil smile. "I still need them for a few things before I kill them."

     "Not on my watch." Ella said, leaping at the orange pony.

     Ella used the entirety of her body weight to tackle Twisted Spectra to the ground. He landed with a thud that echoed through the warehouse as she pinned him down.

     "Oh, come on now. We just met. We aren't that far in the relationship." Twisted chuckled.

     Ella growled and swiped at him with claws that she didn't even know she had. Before she could touch him again, however, her paws were surrounded by a yellow aura. She was slammed in to the back of the warehouse, being dragged by her paws, creating a dent in the wall. She screamed in pain as she felt one of her front legs pop, bending it at an odd angle.

     "Oh, your going to pay for that!" Yelled Starflare. He charged up a Shadow Ball and, using his rage to fuel its power, broke out of the cage. Him and Sparx then both used Shadow Ball on Twisted Spectra, who wasn't prepared, and took both attacks to the face. He collapsed again, this time, teleporting before he hit the ground. When he didn't appear again, the group let their guard down and rushed over to Ella, who was still partially in the wall.

     "We've got to get her to a hospital!" Said Sparx worriedly. Starflare nodded and, with the help of Velvet, used their physic powers to carefully remove Ella from the wall. The placed her on the soft, plushy fur of Velvet's tails and took off, Starflare using his limited physic ability's to keep Ella from falling off. They reached the hospital in record time. Barging through the doors, Velvet called out to the ponies in the room.

     "We have an emergency! Please, help!" She yelled. Most of the ponies stood, shocked that there was a talking Pokemon, but the doctors rushed forward.

     "What happened? Who's hurt?" The nurse asked.

     Velvet lifted Ella off of her tails and held her in front of the doctor. "We were attacked, and Ella got hurt. Please, you have to help her!"

     The nurse nodded and called for one of the unicorn doctors, who took Ella in his magic aura and carried her away.

     "Can we go too?" Asked Talonstrike. "We are worried about her. She's our trainer, after all."

     "Not in the room, but you can watch while we X-Ray her." The nurse said. "Follow me."

     The Pokemon followed the nurse as she led them down several hallways, then in to a room where it opened up slightly. In the middle of the room was a window, where Ella was visible through. The team of Pokemon and Ponies watched as Ella was set on the table. The unicorns horn light up, and a light seemed to scan Ella's body before it vanished.

     The unicorn walked out of the room, a grim look on his face. "She has broken three rib bones, and her leg is all but gone. Her spine also has a minor fracture, but not enough to inhibit her at all. It will heal within a week. The other breaks, however..." He trailed off.

     Starflare looked up at the doctor. "Will she be alright?" He asked.

     The doctor looked at Starflare, confused. "What was that? Why can I understand you friends and not you?"

     "Oh, that's right! Ella never gave you and Sparx the necklaces!" Said Flare Moon, facehoofing. "Doctor, there should be a box in Ellas tail. Can you get it please? It has these necklaces that have a translation spell engraved in to them."

     "Of course." The doctor said. "And please, call me Doctor Syringe."

     Syringe went back in to the room Ella was in, and came back out with a box in his magical grasp. "Here you go." He said.

     Flare took the box in her magic. She thanked the doctor, then opened the box and took out two crystals for the two eeveloutions. She gave a yellow one to Starflare and a white one to Sparx.

     The two felt a tingling feeling in their throats before it quickly faded away. "What was that?" The siblings asked in unison.

     "Translation Necklaces. They allow you to talk to ponies." Flare responded.

     "So you can understand us now?" Asked Sparx excitedly.

     "Yup! So Doc, how long will it take for Ella to heal entirely?" Asked Storm.

     "Like I said, the minor injuries will take only a week or so. The other injuries could take up to a month at worst. However, that is worst-case scenario. If you are lucky, she will be healed in about two and a half to three weeks." Doctor Syringe said.

     "That's good." Sparx said. "But where will we stay until then? We don't have much money..."

     "You can leave that to me!" Said Storm. "Ill be right back!"

     With that, the blue Pegasus left the office in a grey streaked blue blur.

     "Oh, Storm. If I know my marefriend, she is going to come up with come crazy thing for us to do the get the bits to stay somewhere." Cloud Ace chuckled.

     "Well, we might as well try to help her." Starflare sighed. "We need the bits to pay for a hotel. Not only that, but I can imagine this bill for Ella's treatment will cost a lot as well."

     "I think I know how to solve that problem." Syringe said with a smile.
