Celebi gazed at the many species that looked at her with total confusion, amazement and if she isn't mistaken; fear. Many of them wanted run from her or attack her out of fear. She sighed and might as well assured them that this isn't a trap or anything. She gave her best smile and took a deep breath.
"Relax everyone, I am not a threat. We are only trying to help" She announced.
This seemed to relax most of them and she sighed in relief. She didn't want a war breaking loose, her thoughts were interrupted by someone or should she say somepony calling her name. She turned to see Twilight Sparkle, hesitantly walking up to her. She smiled and had to contain herself from hugging her. She was simply an adorable looking equine. The princess of friendship walked right up to the dux Pokémon and looked at her with slight fear and amazement.
"Umm, excuse me Ms. Celebi? I was thinking, don't you think that it is a little crowded in here to live in. Wh-where are the beds and libraries?" Asked Twilight.
"YEAH! IT'S TOO DAMN CROWDED!!" Yelled out a green dragon.
Celebi could only giggle and then soon, her giggles turned to laughter. "L-L-Hahaha. Live in here?!? Oh no no no no no! You won't be living in here. Hahahaha" Celebi laughed.
This confused everyone in the room. What did she mean not live in here, sure it was crowded; but where else could they live. She wasn't thinking about kicking them out was she? Arceus did say they could live here. Just what did she mean. Celestia decided to speak her words to the Voice of the Forest. She walked up to her and stood next to Twilight and gave a small smile towards the Pokémon.
"Celebi? Was it? A being by the name Arceus stated that he could help us. What exactly did he mean by that?" She asked.
"Oh, you mean Father? Yes; that is why I came out here. He wants an audience with the world leaders of Equus. Once you enter this room behind me. All your questions will be answered by him. That I promise, now excuse I have an announcement to make" Celebi instructed. She floated towards the crowd and smiled at them
"Attention please! Father would like to see the world leaders of Equus. That means, leaders of Equestria, the Griffin Empire, Crystal Empire, Changeling Kingdom, Dragon Kingdom, Zebra Tribe, Diamond Dog Village, Buffalo Tribe, Minotaur Kingdom, City of Thicket and yes even Ponyville. All you need to do is just enter this door and I promise, all your questions will be answered. Well, I'll be in there myself. See you both there" She announced and disappeared in flash.
"Well, mind as well get this started" Luna said as she walked up to the two princesses, following her behind was Cadence. Celestia opened the door with her magic and stepped into the room. There she noticed the room was a bit smaller than the previous one, it also was gold in colored. She looked around and noticed there were six beings that are currently staring at her and the rest of the world leaders. One of them she recognized as Celebi, the other next to her on her right was strange bipedal creature of lavender color. His eyes locked cold onto her as if he was waiting for her to attack or mess up. She looked to see a dark figure across from Celebi, he reminded her of Nightmare Moon. He gazed right back at her and wave nonchalantly at her. She nodded and noticed a blue-gray bird like creature who smiled at her and another creature who seemed to be made out of diamonds. 'These are some odd, yet interesting creatures' She thought. She then looked at the last one who is more focused on other world leaders than anyone else. Celestia took a good look at him and blushed a tiny bit, she didn't want to admit it but he is quite handsome. For some odd reason, she wants to rub her hooves onto his fur chest; her thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice behind her.
"Well, Well, Well, If it isn't little miss sunshine" said a creature with wicked voice. She turned around with surprise on her face to see her archrival, Chrysalis; Queen of the Changelings. What was she doing here and what is she planning, she locked eyes with her cat-like green ones and glared a bit.
"Chrysalis" Celestia spoke. Twilight looked up and saw the changeling queen, she glared at bug-like changeling along with her sister in law.
"Chrysalis, what are you doing here?" Cadence demanded.
Chrysalis rolled her eyes at the unnecessary hostility and answered their questions. " Why I am here because I'm a world leader too. Hello, Changeling Kingdom?" Cadence and Twilight raised a brow in suspicion, while Celestia simply nodded and whispered "You better be on your best behavior" Chrysalis, again just rolled her eyes and scoffed. She wasn't going to start anything, she is entirely grateful that this Arceus has saved her precious subjects. She wasn't going to just take his assistance and suddenly attack them, she wasn't stupid. All of their thoughts came to halt when a blinding flash of light happened.
"Ugh! I'll be blind if this becomes a often thing!" The dragon king, Tavorth groaned in annoyance. The flash died out and stood there, was a large goat-like creature. He had a golden ring around his body, long tail and white all over except for a few parts which are blackish gray. He looked extremely menacing and loomed over the leaders. Some of them, shook and scared to move while others stood their ground; preparing for what could happen. However, no violence came as Arceus chuckled and looked at the leaders of Equus.
"Calm yourselves, I am no threat. I am Arceus; God of all Pokémon and Creator of this universe. I am sure you have plenty of question am I correct" Celestia was sensing some serious deja vu from all this. She cleared her throat and walked up to the Pokémon God, she smiled and bowed her head.
"It is pleased to meet you Arceus, I would like to say thank you for saving my subjects and the others from the destruction of our planet. And you are indeed correct, I do some questions. How do you know of Equus and what are Pokémon?" asked the sun monarch. Arceus nodded and smiled. He cleared his throat and began his explanation. Twilight wished she had her notepad to take down notes, she sighed, realizing it was destroyed along with her home planet. 'Guess I'll just have to stick with keeping the information in my head. Dammit'
"Pokémon are mystical creatures that possess great power. There are 721 known species of Pokémon in the entire world, but I am pretty sure there are more waiting to be discovered. Most Pokémon will resemble animals, however; some resemble plants, humans, objects and even enigmatic appearances." Arceus explained.
King Aspen, the king of the City of Thicken; looked surprised about the mention powers "Powers? What kind of powers Pokémon possess?"
"Right. Pokémon have many powers from breathing fire to controlling time, space and antimatter" He replied in a serious tone. This shocked everyone but the dux Pokémon in the room. Pokémon can control space and time? The dark figure in the room known as Darkrai chuckled and looked at them. "As obvious as it is. I can tell you are quite bewilder; Yes, we Pokémon can do many things. Celebi is a time traveler, Mewtwo is one of the strongest Pokémon ever and practically the god of all psychic type Pokémon. And me? I, well...I'm a Pokémon of dreams and nightmares....mostly nightmares." He said with a hint of sadness. This interest Luna, She looked at him and could not believe there was another dream caster that had the same problems of the darkness as she once did.
'He...He's just like me.....' Luna thought.
Cadence noticed that he also mention types, a psychic type. "Wait a second? Psychic? You mean somepony who can read minds or see into the future?!" She asked. Celebi chuckled at this and nodded at the question.
"Well, you are half right. Psychics can read minds and see into future, but some of them can shape shift, turn invisible, use telekinesis, warp reality and even can make black holes" She then heard a gasp from the last part and had to reassure them that it won't happen. "Now onto typing and abilities. There are 18 types in total: Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Dragon, Ice, Ghost, Dark, Fairy, Psychic, Rock, Ground, Steel, Flying, Normal, Fighting, Bug and Poison. Each type has either one weakness and multiple weakness. For example, fire is weak to water and ground. Now if you were a fire and ground type, you weakness will still be water but it hurt a lot if you get hit. Abilities are what help Pokémon either during battle or everyday life. My ability, Natural Cure can heal are status condition if I rest myself for a while; status conditions are effects that happen to your body if you get hit by an Pokémon attack or eat bad food. These status conditions are burn, freeze, paralysis, poison, sleep and confusion. But don't worry, we have medicine to heal all of those conditions so do not worry" Celebi finished.
They all nodded and absorbed in all the information, as soon as they were done; Celestia still had two more questions "That's very useful information; thank you. But you still didn't answer my question Arceus, How do you know of Equus and why are you doing all of this for us?"
"Yeah! And where do live? Ya haven't explain that part yet" Asked Empress Victoria, the leader of the Griffin Empire.
Arceus looked at her and nodded, he then summoned a dark blue crystal ball and begin to explain once more. "It's simple really, the reason how I know is this crystal ball. I had watched you all since the beginning, your universe is quite interesting to watch and of course one of my favorites. What you don't know however, is that our universes are actually next to each other, in a sense we were like neighbors. While I looked out for my universe, I also kept an eye on this one. It's sad to see it go, such a harmonious and peaceful place erased due to the Tree of Harmory. I told Starswirl that this would happened, he did not believe me."
This was shock to the four princesses, especially Twilight, "Wait?! You knew Starswirl?!"
"Yes, but that's for another time my dear, Now as for why I'm doing this. One; I couldn't just watch you all die now can I? And two; well I am ready to trust new species upon my universe again. And I am sure all of us can live in harmony" He smiled. Celestia, however was unsure; sure knew most of her ponies would gladly accept this, but the other species might be hesitant about it. She can only hoped that no war would break out. Mewtwo glared when Arceus spoke those words, he didn't trust these creatures one bit, not since the humans; how could he trust anything that isn't a Pokémon.
"I still don't trust these creatures. But I will help you all. However, if you try to attack my subjects; I will be force to eliminate you" Mewtwo declared. This made a few leaders shudder, something about him screamed powerful. However, this caused a certain Sword of Justice to speak up.
"Mewtwo, no need to scare them. It is true that when can be cautious; but I'm sure that they mean no threat" He spoke calmly.
Mewtwo growled and glared at the Pokémon and spoke "That is because you are too soft, Cobalion. If you ease up to them, They could easily walk all over you. Just like the humans long ago"
"Well, Do you see any humans around?" asked Cobalion.
"No, Bu-"
"Do you. see any humans around. Mewtwo?" Cobalion asked once more, as he gave off one of his special glares. Mewtwo growled and answered the Sword of Justice leader. "No" Cobalion nodded and turn his gaze to the world leaders.
"Forgive us, He is just worried for his subjects and being cautious." He spoke softly.
"It is alright, We understand. " Luna replied.
Arceus cleared his throat and gained the attention of everyone in the room. "Now then, Lastly; Living Arrangements. As Twilight asked if you all were going to live in that room. No, you all will be living in separate villages, towns and cities in the Pokémon world. Towns such Post Treasure Town from Unova and Arborville from Johto. There are plenty more places where that came from. Now then, the meeting is finally over and you can inform of your subjects of what is going on. Once you are ready. You should see a big silver door, exit there and you will see the Dux 6 waiting for you; they will give you living arrangements from there. Alright now, you are dismissed."
The world leaders nodded and headed towards the door, Celestia however stopped and turned to the Sword of Justice. The Pokémon noticed the Equestrian ruler was staring him. He could only a raise a brow, "Hello there?" Celestia slightly blushed out of embarrassment.
"R-Right, I came here to thank you for defending us back against Mewtwo. I can understand that you are slightly cautious around us and want to protect your subjects"
"Yes. While he blew off the handle like that, threaten you and the others. I can't blame him, at least entirely. It's not my place to speak about his past. But because of what the humans had done to him and his fellow Pokémon over 2000 years ago. He has a case of PTSD. " He replied. Celestia gasped, she's heard of PTSD before; especially since the changeling attack that happened in Canterlot over a year ago. But she has never heard of it happened because of a human. What happened with humans and Pokémon all those years ago.
" I see...well, I do hope he opens up and see we are not a threatening species. Though I hope war doesn't break out between the inhabitants of Equus and the Pokémon world." She hoped.
Cobalion nodded and then turned to leave, "Oh. You should come down to Eindoak Town. It's nice and peaceful, you'll love it" He said with a small smile. She nodded, trying force a blush away. She turned to leave, only to notice her sister standing at the doorway.
"Ah, there you are sister. Are you done flirting?" She smirked.
"Flirting? Don't be silly Luna. C'mon, We need to inform our subjects." She quickly said. Luna just rolled her eyes and followed her.
'I may had been gone 1000 years sister; but I am not stupid' Luna thought.
Celestia begin her speech with her fellow ponies, she informed them of Pokémon, what they are, where are they going to live and what is going on. Some begin to look uneasy about the idea, while others were overjoyed not only, living in a new place; but seeing other Pokémon. She smiled and reassured them that everything would be alright, at least she hoped. But she couldn't lie about it either, she was a bit eager to meet other Pokémon. She looked to her right and noticed most of the other world leaders and their subjects were gone and out meeting with the Dux 6. She looked over her ponies and smiled at them.
"Is everypony ready to go?" She asked.
"YES!" They announced in joy in their voices. Celestia could only chuckled and allowed Luna and Cadence to lead them to the doors.
"Yes. So am I. Though, I hope this will be a very good thing" She said to herself as she followed them all.
