New "Friends"

You may think of today as any normal day in Equestria. The birds are chirping, and the sun is up high

in the sky. Excalibur is just doing his daily routine, Venom is in his lab, Dusk is reading. The Beedrills

are buzzing. All is peaceful.

“What's with today?” said Excalibur. “Nothing exciting is happening!” He was busy walking to his

local store to get food for him and his pet crow, Darkness. Darkness was pretty much his best friend, or

“someone” he could talk to.

“I would've thought the street would be bustling with Pokemon, but I guess they are calm today.”

Excalibur was use to Ponyville being quiet and peaceful, but it was just too quiet. He needed to clear

his head, so he went to talk to Dusk and see what she was doing.

“Hey Dusk.” said Excalibur in his most polite voice.

“Hey Excalibur.” said Dusk, without taking her eyes off of the book.

“Um so what are you doing?” asked Excalibur.

“Reading.” said Dusk.

“Well I guess I'll leave you to your business.” said Excalibur, already turning around to leave. He was

already bored enough and sometimes trying to have a decent conversation with Dusk was just

annoying.

“Oh! Before you go, I have something to show you!” said Dusk. She finally looked up from her book.

She moved the book to the side and there was a Pokemon jumping up and down in her lap.

“Dusk why do you have one of those?” said Excalibur. He was a little shocked considering that he,

Dusk, and Venom promised to never get a Pokemon.

“Azurill!” said the bouncing Pokemon.

“Isn't she just so cute?” said Dusk. She picked up the Pokemon and started throwing it in the air.

“Yeah... she's so adorable.” said Excalibur. He wanted nothing to do with Pokemon. They had no

business being in Equestria. He didn't hate them it's just that he REALLY doesn't like chasing off an

Ursaring from his property everyday.

“Well have fun I guess.” said Excalibur. He walked off. He really disliked that his own friend broke the

promise and got a Pokemon. He decided to see what Venom was up to in his lab.

“Venom would never break a promise right?” said Excalibur. He looks through the window. He sees

Venom sitting at his workbench with you guessed it a Pokemon. Excalibur facehoofed himself because

of his friends.

“Magneton can you pass me the brew?” said Venom.

“MAGNETON!” said the Pokemon with a loud cry. It opened up one of the hundreds of desks there

and got the brew for Venom. Excalibur was very surprised at this outcome. Just yesterday they were

duking it out with the Pokemon raging in the town, and now they are treating them like they are their

own kind.

“I don't get what's so great about Pokemon.” said Excalibur.

“All they are is another species taking up space.” said Excalibur. He walks out onto a cliff and sits

there thinking about why Pokemon are so important. Suddenly, a Pokemon appears from behind a rock.

“Cacnea?” it says. The Pokemon goes up to Excalibur and sits next to him.

“Um... Hi.” said Excalibur. This was strange. This was the only Pokemon he saw that liked him and ever walked up to him.

“Cacnea!” said the Pokemon. He ran up on Excalibur's head and sat down. Excalibur was surprised,

this was the first Pokemon he actually didn't mind.

“Hey... Well I guess you can stay up there.” said Excalibur. Moonfall beheld Ponyville and everypony

went to sleep with their Pokemon, including Excalibur. Little did he know that Cacnea wasn't there just

for one night with him. It was there for every.
