Applejack struggled to keep her eyes open, but the poison was beating her down. Her vision became even more blurry, as all she seen was a black and blue blur before passing out. Light noticed this and noticed the three Beedrill were aware of it as well, he growled and let out a few sparks in a warning. The Beedrill all backed away and growled at the defending Luxray.
"You were lucky this time!" Sting called out as he and his lackeys flew right out of the forest.
"And stay out!" He shouted as he stomped his paw on the ground. He turned around and saw the unconscious pony. He shook his head and placed the pony on his back.
"Attacking an innocent pony. Now that's just low. Even for them. Well, better get her to the cabin. Can't leave her here out the open like this" Light said as he begin his trip back home.
Rainbow Dash and Gene headed towards, what appeared to be a Wigglytuff building. She noticed it looked like an tent and there were steps that had reached the top. She grinned, happy that she doesn't need to climb up those stairs.
"It's up there. Let's go" Gene said.
Rainbow flew up to the entrance and only to stopped at a grate. She inspected but only could see darkness. This confused the prismatic mare, she then stepped onto the grate and loud voice could be heard that startled the mare.
"UNKNOWN FEET DETECTED!! UNKNOWN FEET DETECTED!!" Said a voice.
She looked around and then heard chuckling from the shiny Gallade. She glared at the giggling Pokemon, demanding an explanation. Gene smiled and finally calmed down his giggling fit.
"Ehem. Sorry, That was Potato. Odd name, yes. But he is the sentry of the guild. When you step onto that grate you are currently standing on, he identifies the feet...or in your case hooves. It's a way to know whose who, so no outlaws won't try to break in or sorts." He explained.
"Ah. Okay..How long do I stand here?" Asked the element of loyalty.
"Meh. Not long" He replied. However, further questions were interrupt by the voice of another voice.
"WHOSE FEET IS IT?!" Asked a even louder voice.
Rainbow Dash and Gene had to cover their ears from the loud booming voice. Rainbow Dash felt like her head was spinning and was trying to regain her hearing again. She looked at the now recovering Gallade for answers once again.
"And that is Decibel. He is a Loudred. One of the loudest Pokemon in existence." Gene said.
"Can he be ANY louder?!" Rainbow Dash asked sarcastically.
"Unfortunately. Yes" He replied.
"IT IS FEET THAT BELONGS TO.....A PONY?!" Said Potato.
"FEET THAT BELONGS TO A PONY?! MUST BE THE NEWCOMERS!! SHE CAN COME IN!!" Decibel replied. There was a moment of silence, which was soon replaced by a clearing of the throat. A purple big mouthed creature with speakers for ears stepped out of the tent smiled at the prismatic mare and the Gallade.
"HI! I AM DECIBEL AND WELCOME TO THE WIGGLYTUFF GUILD!!!" He greeted!
Rainbow Dash and Gene's ear begin to ring once more.
"Alright! Alright! No need to yell" Rainbow said with irritation in her tone. Decibel smiled in embarrassment
Meanwhile in the library. Twilight had picked up a stack of books to learn all about Pokemon. Books such as, 'The History of Pokemon' 'Encyclopedia of Pokemon' 'Psychic Types and You' and 'Pokemon Evolution'. She smiled as she begin to read the first book, 'The History of Pokemon'.
"Yes! With this, I'll know enough about Pokemon. Though I am going to be here for a while. I wonder how my friends are doing?" She wondered.
The lavender princess sighed and continued to read, hoping that her friends would not cause too much trouble. Suddenly she heard a chair being moved beside her. She looked annoyed at first but then realized it's one of those Pokemon. It was a pink cat-like creature with long ears and a split tail. She was about only an inch shorter than her. She analyzed her more and noticed there was a fuchsia colored small gem on the center of her forehead.
"Hi! You must be the princess of your old world. Princess Twilight, was it?" Asked the Pokemon
"Uh, yes. But you can just call me Twilight" She replied with a smile.
"Alright. Twilight, You're probably wondering who am I. Well, My name is Aurora and I am a Espeon. I am also a librarian." She introduced.
The lavender alicorn nodded and noticed that the Espeon had levitated one of her books to her side. She also noticed that her eyes were glowing blue. This amazed Twilight, urging her to know more about psychic type Pokemon.
"I take it you're a psychic Pokemon?" Questioned Twilight.
"Yes. I also noticed from your horn that you are an unicorn and can cast magic. I have been wondering since that whole town meeting, what is the difference between magic and psychic powers?" She wondered.
Twilight thought about it as well, she had always wonder what was the difference between the two powers. And if she could replicate most of them. They both have the ability to levitate objects and teleport.
'What else can they do?' She thought.
"Well we can read minds, that's for sure" Aurora said with a giggle and a wink. This surprised Twilight, she had totally forgotten about that mind reading ability. She knew that unicorns have a spell for mind reading, but it takes forever to master. But Psychic Pokemon can do it just right off the bat.
"Well, I say that psychic and magic powers do have their similarities. However, there are differences" Twilight said.
"Really? Found any?" replied the Espeon.
"Hmmm...Well, I can see the powers through psychic energy is coming from the users mind, rather than a horn. It also looks more easier to cast. Unicorn or alicorn magic sometimes takes to time to do a spell, depending how advance or powerful the spell may be. For example: Time or mind reading spells would take minutes to charge or even hours. Plus, it drains most of our mana. Psychic energy doesn't seem to have any drawbacks." Twilight explained.
Aurora nodded and smiled at the princess's explanation and begin to add in her two cents.
"While you are right about how psychic energy comes from the mind. You are wrong on one thing. Psychic energy does have it drawbacks and weaknesses. Too much usage can cause severe damage to the brain or hurt others if not probably used. It can also leave the user drained if they use up too much pp or Power Points. Power Points are the energy that all Pokemon have that requires them to use moves. Once they use up all their moves, which is unlikely to happen; they use a move called Struggle which is another Pokemon move that every Pokemon naturally knows."Aurora explained.
Twilight nodded, taking all the information in. It seemed that Pokemon do have limitations, and are quite similar to the magic beings of Equestria.
"Tell you what. Why don't you come live with me, my brother and his best friend. We could learn a lot from each other." Aurora suggested.
The lavender princess thought about the idea, she could maybe learn how to harness psychic powers if it were possible. Plus, she and Spike had no place to live at the moment.
"Can....Can I think about it please?" Asked Twilight.
"Of course" Aurora replied with a kind smile.
Rarity's new Carousel Boutique had been built, with new adjustments. She added in couches, a television, magazine shelf for reading, and a workplace where she can design new clothes for the citizens. She had seen many Pokemon with different designs and had inspired her to make more clothes. The only problem was that she had no notepads to draw out her designs or even equipment to make new clothes. She had lost all of that when the planet exploded.
"How will I even begin? I have no equipment or no fabric! Nothing at all. Of all the terrible things that could happened! This is THE.WORST.POSSIBLE.THING!!" She said dramatically. Too bad she didn't have her fainting couch, otherwise this would had been appropriate. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening and footsteps. She turned to see a cream colored cat with purple fur on it's head, neck and tail. Next was a dog that looked like a poodle, it's fur was black and orange and had a kabuki trim to it. Rarity marveled at the color and the fur coat of the dog. Lastly she sees a green insect-like creature with a leafy hood and arms.
"Ummm...can I help you three?" asked the element of generosity.
The cat nodded and smiled at the white pony, she cleared her throat and begin. "Right, My name is Velvet, I am a Delcatty. These are my friends Kabuki the Furfrou and Seamstress the Leavanny. We heard that you're a fashionista. We heard from a couple of ponies that you used to own a store called the Carousel Boutique."
Rarity smiled and nodded. "I am Rarity or Miss Rarity if you prefer. And of course darling, at least it was going to be. You see? I have no new or old fabric. Most of my equipment is gone due to the world being destroyed." She finished with a sad sigh.
The three Pokemon walked up to her and each had a look of sympathy, they begin to console her; rubbing her back and telling her that it is alright and they understand. This surprised Rarity, how could they understand what she's going through.
"But how can you girls understand? You still have your world. Mine is destroy all because of a stupid tree" Rarity pouted.
Kabuki sighed and nodded "Yes. Our world is still intact. But our business isn't."
"What do you mean?" asked Rarity.
Seamstress growls in anger and stares at the floor. "We use to own a business that designs clothes for others called 'The String Shot'. We sell the best clothes for Pokemon everywhere. Scarves, jackets, shoes and even pants; we did them all. The business was our pride and joy; however it was burned down by that no good rotten Purugly."
The element of generosity figured that this Purugly was another Pokemon she didn't know about. But was rather shock that someone would just burn down someone's business. It was most certainly rude and just down right barbaric for her.
"Sweet Celestia! For whatever for darling?!" Asked Rarity.
Kabuki growled at the thought of the Purugly, but explained what had happened. "Around 3 years ago. As you know, we had a business called 'The String Shot'. However, we were rivals with another boutique called 'Ball of Yarn'. We were more successful and made a lot of poke. Though we had poke. We only cared about the designs of clothes we make and our customers. However, she became jealous and decided to copy our designs and stated that she made them first. That we stole her ideas and we were nothing but common jerks. As you can tell, that wasn't true. A huge argument erupted between our businesses and war happened. Not literal war, just a fashion war. Anyways, she eventually set our business a blaze and our glorious customers turned against us. We tried to bounce back, but we didn't have enough money to start a business in Pokemon City. So we just lived here ever since."
Rarity eyes widen at the story that was told to her. She couldn't believe how some Pokemon could be so cruel to each other. She knew how it felt having her hard work taken away from her. Remembering the incident that happened with Suri and Coco Pommel in Manehatten. She wrapped her hooves around the Furfrou and rubbed her back.
"There there darling, I know exactly how you feel about having your work stolen from you. I had that problem happened to me two weeks ago. But I am not trying to sound mean or anything, but why exactly did you come here?" Asked Rarity.
Velvet smiled sadly and looked at the pony "I hope you don't mind it. But if it's ok. Could we possibly work for you? We could find you new equipment to work with." She suggested.
"And new fabric!" Added Seamstress.
"And there can be grooming on the side. And who doesn't like a good grooming?!" Said Kabuki.
Velvet smiled and nodded at the pony. "The truth is Miss Rarity. We just want our dream back. Please....let's us work with you." tears streamed down the Delcatty's face. Rarity, now crying as well hugged the three Pokemon, trying to calm them down. She smiled and looked at them all in the eye.
"Darlings. Of course you can work here. Welcome to the Carousel Boutique." She said.
Velvet and her friends couldn't be anymore happier hearing those words.
Fluttershy walked down the road of the town, wanting to explore more of the place she'll be living in. It was happening so suddenly and normally she would shy away from these type of things. However, seeing the new inhabitants of the Pokemon world who express kindness and love, made her feel brave. Her thoughts about the world were interrupted by the sound of something falling on the ground. She ran over to the source of the sound only to find a dark alleyway. What she found in the alleyway was a Typhlosion on the ground with trash cans and a scooter on the ground. What she seen next was three Pokemon surrounding the poor fire type. A bulky looking Panda with a thin leaved shoot in it's mouth. The other Pokemon was a weasel looking creature with long sleeve like arms. The last one, who looked like the leader of the gang, he had on a green hood and his looks reminded her of a lizard. These three Pokemon were Scrafty, Pangoro and Mienshao.
"Please...you can have my Poke. Just don't hurt me." pleaded the Typhlosion.
The three Pokemon laughed at the fear emitting from the fire type and begin to step closer. The three intimidating Pokemon begin to crack their knuckles and grinned cruelly at the Typhlosion.
"Oh. We can't have that. You didn't give us your Poke quick enough! And that can make our pal Bancho even more angry" The Scrafty grinned as he pointed to angry Pangoro. Fluttershy glared at the three Pokemon, hurting the poor Typhlosion. Deciding that enough is enough, the yellow Pegasus stepped out of the shadows and let herself known.
"Hey! Knock it off you three! Leave him alone!" Fluttershy demanded. The trio of bullies looked at the element of kindness stalk towards them with a furious glare. The three bullies were stunned to find the pony stepping up to them to defend the Typhlosion.
"What do ya just say to me?!" Asked the Scrafty.
"I said. Leave him alone! Picking on an innocent Pokemon and trying to steal what belongs to him! That is wrong! No go away or I'll tell your mothers what you're doing." She said as she gave them the famous stare. The Pokemon quiver in fear and gulped, stepping back from the now flying Pegasus.
"Y-Y-You got lucky! Next time we meet. You'll be sorry!" The Scrafty declared as he and his goons ran off. Fluttershy sighed and turned to the down Typhlosion, helping him up. The fire type Pokemon winced in pain and looked at the yellow Pegasus and smiled at her.
"Thank you, for helping me back there. Those bullies been tormenting throughout my whole life." He said sadly.
"Who were they? If you don't mind me asking." Asked Fluttershy.
The Typhlosion grabbed his now beat-up scooter and sighed. "The leader's name is Hoodwink, the bulky one is Bancho and the girl is Ming. They're are bullies who lie, steal and beat other Pokemon to get what they want. They have been doing this since the school days."
"That's horrible! How could they!?" Fluttershy gasped.
"Yeah...by the way...I've been meaning to ask...wh-what's your name?" Asked the Typhlosion.
"Me?...Oh...I'm....Fluttershy" She said shyly while hiding her face.
"Fluttershy huh? I'm Firework...Yeah. I know...weird name for a guy. Heheheh" He said sheepishly with a hint of sadness.
Fluttershy flew up to the Typhlosion and smiled, putting a hoof on his paw. "I think it's a wonderful name"
Rainbow Dash walked in the tent with Gene examining everything in sight. She saw pictures of famous exploration teams and their accomplishments. She even saw Gene's old team, consisting of himself, a Sceptile named Konoha and a Bisharp named Proto. According to Decibel and Gene, they were one of the strongest teams in existence; however an incident that happened in Magma Cavern caused the team to split up. Rainbow asked what happened, but Gene didn't want to talk about it, saying it brings back awful memories.
She shrugged at this and continued following the Loudred down the hall. There, she sees a pink door with a Wigglytuff face on the front. The Loudred told Gene and Rainbow Dash to wait here while he gets the guild-master.
"Hey Gene?"
"Yeah Rainbow?"
"What's the guild-master like?" Asked the prismatic mare. Gene chuckled at this and recalled the memory of meeting the strange yet powerful Pokemon.
"Well, Mr. Kashu can be a bit naive and even easygoing. But he is one of the few Pokemon you do NOT want to anger" He explained with a chuckle. Remember that he had to learn that fact the hard way. Speaking of said Pokemon, Kashu revealed himself to the element of loyalty and the shiny Gallade. Accompanying with him is a Chatot
"Hello Pony! Welcome to the Wigglytuff Guild, I am Mr. Kashu but you can call me Kashu if you like. And this is my assistant Polly the Chatot" greeted the Wigglytuff.
"Hello." Also greeted the Chatot.
The Wigglytuff also noticed that Gene was standing there and gave him a friendly welcome. Gene nodded and smiled, the Gallade turned to Rainbow Dash.
"Hey Rainbow, I should get going now. Belle is probably worried right now. See ya!" He said as he teleported out of the guild. Rainbow Dash starred at the spot that Gene used to be and turned the Wigglytuff.
"Ah...So..you're one the many creatures who moved to the Pokemon world eh? I am terribly sorry for your planet's destruction." Mr. Kashu apologized.
"It's fine. I'll miss the place. Yeah. But this is my new home. Gotta get use to it" replied Rainbow Dash.
Polly and Mr. Kashu nodded and begin to walk deeper into the guild. "Come. We'll show you around the guild." Rainbow Dash followed the two Pokemon deeper into the guild. She had seen the mess hall that which the Chimecho named Echo cooks and prepare food. a training room where they can increased their skills. And rooms where the explores sleep in. To say that she was excited was an understatement.
"Wow. So you guys do missions from saving lives to retrieving ancient artifacts?! SO AWESOME! Sign me up! I wanna start an exploration team right now!" Rainbow said.
Mr. Kashu and Polly chuckled in amusement. It was nice to see someone excited about being part of the guild.
'I'll be as awesome and brave as Daring Do!' She squealed in delight.
"Now Rainbow Dash, You must know the morning cheer of the guild. Which are also the rules." Polly said. He cleared his throat and began.
"A ONE, A TWO...A ONE-TWO-THREE
ONE! DON'T SHIRK WORK!
TWO! RUN AWAY AND PAY!
THREE! SMILES GO FOR MILES!"
Rainbow Dash was greatly confused by the cheer. To her, it sounded like it came from a foal's book. She then noticed that Polly was gone. She looked around the area, trying to search for the Chatot. Mr. Kashu noticed this and decided to speak up.
"Polly went to go get the others."
"The others?"
"Yes. They're a friendly bunch. Ah! Here he is now with them." She turned to a Sunflora, Corphish, Bidoof, Chimecho, The same Loudred that she had met earlier and Polly. The Pokemon begin to surround her and greeted her in a friendly matter.
"Hey Hey! The name's Pete" Said the Corphish.
"Oh my gosh! It's so nice to meet you Rainbow Dash. I am Summer." The Sunflora greeted with a big smile that would put Pinkie to shame.
"I'm Echo. The Chimecho. I believe we already met once before." Introduced the Chimecho. The Bidoof walked up towards the rainbow mare and introduced himself as Bill. The Pokemon begin to ask her questions, like what was Equestria like or what is a cutie mark. After the questions were done, Mr Kashu gave Rainbow Dash a badge to symbolize that she is now a explorer. All she will need now is a name, which she is still working on and members. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of laughter, but it didn't sound joyous. She flew towards the source the noise to find a Zangoose, Scyther and Sandslash pointing and laughing at a panting Latias.
"Wow! You fail so hard! You can't do a single Dragon Pulse?! and you rarely mastered Stored Power, which is very weak by the way" The Scyther teased.
"Shut up! I can do it! I'm just having some kinks!" Latias countered.
"Kinks?! Ha! You'll never be as strong and awesome as your brother. And not only that but you only know two attacks." The Zangoose taunted.
This pissed off Latias even more, she loved her brother without a doubt. But she can't stand to live under his shadow and Pokemon saying wishing that she was just like him or putting her down. She growled, trying not to let her tears threatening to fall out of her eyes. Rainbow was getting angry as well. This reminded of her bullies back in Cloudsdale, how that always call her Rainbow Crash.
'Those bastards! Who do they think they are?!' Rainbow thought.
"What's the matter Loseias?! Ya gonna cry?" taunted the Sandslash with a smirk.
Latias was about to interject until a certain cyan pony jumped in front of her, glaring at the three bullies. Latias was shocked to say the least, she didn't know what kind of creature she is. To her, it looked like some kind of weird looking Ponyta with a butt tattoo.
"What the hell is that?" Asked the Sandslash.
"Looks like some kind of weird looking Ponyta with a strange butt tattoo." replied the Zangoose.
Rainbow Dash ignored the comment and glared at the three Pokemon. "What's your problem?! Leave her alone!" She yelled.
"She is a loser and had failed the guild three times. She doesn't even have a rescue team because nobody wants to be around her. Only time Pokemon will be around her is when it's about her brother." The Scyther laughed.
Latias couldn't hold back the tears anymore and just let them fall. Rainbow noticed this and try her hardest not to punch the Pokemon then and there. She walked up towards them and gave them a fierce look that sad 'one more word and I'll bash your skull in'.
"You're wrong losers. There is one who wants be around her. And that is me! I'll be around and she'll be my friend!" Rainbow declared. This shocked the four Pokemon in the room.
'Does...Does she really mean that?' thought the eon Pokemon.
"Friend?! She only knows two attacks and can barely do one of them! She'll slow ya down!" Warned the Sandslash.
"I don't care! And it's not her setup that slows her down! It's you guys! Now beat it!" She roared. The three Pokemon just glared at the pony and left her and Latias in the room. Rainbow flew towards the Pokemon and lift her up. She smiled at Latias and wiped her tears out of her golden eyes.
"Hey, don't let those jerks get ya down! I know how it feels to be bullied and believe me. It sucks." Rainbow Dash said with a chuckle.
Latias looked down with a sad expression on her face.
"They always compare me to my brother. Saying that 'I'll never be as great as he is' or 'I should just quit now' I'm sick of it!" Latias said.
"Well, They're right. You're are not him. You're you, which is better. Look, I don't know who this Latios Pokemon is, but you need to stop bringing yourself down so much and be your own Pokemon." Rainbow suggested. Latias eyes widen and looked at the prismatic mare. She was right, she has been feeling defeated lately. She needed to get back up and try again, too show them that she can be a strong Pokemon.
"Thanks...uhhh...what's your name? And who are you?...Wait a second." Latias said as she place one of her claws on Rainbow's head and her eyes glowed blue. Images of the cyan mare's recent memories begin to flood in her head. She had seen Equu's planetary destruction, Arceus saving the inhabitants of Equus; even the animals. And Lady Virizion bringing them in Post Treasure Town. Latias let go of her head and her eyes turned back to their gold color. She gave the rainbow mare a apologetic look and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry for the lost of your home, Rainbow Dash." Latias apologized.
Rainbow Dash smiled a sad smiled and patted the eon Pokemon on the back. "Hey. It's alright. Sure, It's my homeworld. But I am happy that my friends are sa-Wait a sec. How the hay do you know my name was Rainbow Dash?!"
"I read you mind....sorry. I can also shape-shift, turn invisible and share vision with my brother. Or others I deemed really close...which is only my brother." She explained.
Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped after that. She was mildly surprised to hear that her new friend had this amazing powers.
"That....is.....AWESOOOME!!" She cheered.
"It is?" replied Latias.
"Hay Yeah! Also I can see that you can fly as well! So I'll have a flying buddy too! Double the awesomeness!" She smiled as she did loops in the air. Latias can only smile at the young mare and remembered what Rainbow Dash had called her back there.
"Hey? Rainbow Dash?"
"Yeah?"
"Did you really mean it.....what you said back there. Are we really?....Friends?" Asked the eon Pokemon. Rainbow grinned and nodded in confirmation.
"Of course we are. I am the element of loyalty and I'll never lie about friendship. If anything goes, I say you're my best friend." She smiled big as she put up her hoof towards the legendary. Latias was confused at the gesture, she looked at the hoof and back at the mare. What was Rainbow trying to do?
"What...what is this?" Asked Latias.
"It's a brohoof. It's kinda like a hoofshake. You just bring your...eh...claw and bump it with my hoof." She instructed. Latias looked at her claw and slowly brought it to her hoof and bumped it. Her eyes widen as realization begins to hit her.
"Ah! It's like a broclaw! Me and my brother use to do that when we were little." She giggled. "Oh! I forgot to mention. I am Latias. Latias Eon" She introduced herself.
"Well. You already know who I am." Rainbow joked. They shared a laugh together from that. Latias smiled at the mare, happy that she had finally gain a friend. She couldn't wait to tell her brother the good news.
"Say? Latias. Do...you stay here?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
Latias sighed sadly and nodded "Unfortunately, I barely make any money and I can only afford the rooms at the guild. Sure it's got a bed and what not. But it doesn't feel comfortable ya know."
Rainbow Dash thought about this and looked at the Pokemon. It was a bit risky and she didn't know how Latias would react. But she couldn't just let her new friend, feel uncomfortable in a guild that has it's members belittling her. She grinned at the eon Pokemon and wrapped a hoof around her.
"Say, Lati! How bout you can come stay with me and Scootaloo. I'm sure Scootaloo would love ya and I can show you some Daring Do books! Plus I got an extra room you can have." She suggested. Latias thought about it, it'll be more comfortable sleeping on a better bed. Especially one that is not made out of hay.
She smiles at the pony and nods at her.
"Alright, Rainbow. You gotta deal. Just let me explain this to Mr. Kashu and we'll be all set." She winked.
Applejack slowly opened her eyes to find that she was in a nice comfy bed. She turned to her right and saw an Ampharos cutting and peeling apples. The Ampharos turned and noticed that she was awake, she gave a mare a smile.
"Ah good thing you're awake. We were kind of worried." The Ampharos said.
"Who are you? And where am ah?" Applejack asked weakly. Ampharos noticed this and sighed, the poison was still in her system. It was a good thing she had made some Berry Juice that was 100% Pecha Berry . The Ampharos grabbed the bowl of juice and handed to the Applejack, telling her she should drink this. Applejack weakly took a sip of the juice and two seconds later, her whole body begin to feel strong again.
"Wh-what happened?! Ah...Ah...Ah I don't feel sick no more!....YEEHAW!!!" She cheered. Applejack turned to the Ampharos and smiled at her.
"Thank ya kindly...uh...."
"Elani...Ms. Elani. Light saved you and right now you are in our home. He carried you all the way out here." Elani said with smile.
"The names Applejack! Nice to meetcha!" She winked.
Applejack smiled and grabbed her hat that was sitting on the shelf. She also noticed some apple slices and looked at Elani for permission. The Ampharos giggled and told her that they are for her anyways. Without a second thought, she begin to dig in; enjoying the delicious treats. Suddenly the door creaked open, revealing Light and a Vulpix walking behind him. He looked at Applejack and nodded to her, giving her a smile.
"I see you're awake."
"Thanks for helping me back there. And uh....sorry bout eating your apples there partner. Ya see...before Ah came here, Ah was an apple farmer and well apples were my pride n joy. So when ah saw the Apple Forest, it brought back memories of Sweet Apple Acres." The apple mare explained.
"You were a farmer?!" asked Elani.
"Yes ma'am. Ah would love to farm again if ah could. But ah guess ah should go live in a ordinary house instead." Applejack said with sadness in her voice, it was obvious that she had missed her home. Light looked at her with sympathy and grabbed a pink scarf. He walked over to the apple farmer and handed the scarf to her. Applejack looked at the scarf and back to him with confusion on her face.
"What is this?" asked Applejack.
"This is a Pecha Scarf . It gives you complete immunity to poison." Light explained.
"How is that scarf suppose to protect me from being poison? Sorry sugarcube, but that doesn't make a lick a sense."
This made the Luxray grinned mischievously. He turned to the Vulpix and nodded to him. On the Vulpix's back was a silver tray carrying what look like purple spikes. Applejack begin to back up in fear from starring at the scary looking spikes.
"We knew you were going to say that. Flare, the spikes." Light ordered. Flare stood still and watched Light carefully grabbed one of the spikes off the tray. He then look at Applejack and nudge his head towards the scarf.
"These spikes are Venipede Spikeswhich are poisonous of course. Wear that scarf and I'll show you how it will protect you. Trust me" He instructed. Reluctantly, Applejack did what he said by wrapping the scarf around her neck. She didn't realize it til now, but it the scarf really looks good on her. Light nodded at Applejack and she gulped and braced herself.
"You ready....uhh?"
"Applejack. And yes. Ah'm ready."
Light nodded and smacked the spike on to Applejack's side. To her it felt like a pinch, but she wasn't feeling any poisonous effects or anything. This really surprised her a lot.
"Wh-what in tarnation!?" She gasped.
"That's the effects of the Pecha Scarf, Applejack. Keep wearing it and you'll be immune to poison." Elani said with a smile on her face. She nodded with a happy smile and looked at the pink scarf around her neck. She took it off and handed to the Ampharos with an apologetic look on her face.
"Is there an...ummm possible way to change the color to red maybe? The color really doesn't suit me." Applejack.
Elani smiled and nodded "Sure thing. I'll see what I can do. OH! The sun is setting! I forgot all about the festival. You two better go now. Me and Flare will stay in. We already met the new neighbors." She winked.
Applejack blushed and nodded, leaving with Light. When the exit the house, Applejack noticed that there was a farm and barn outside. The farm had many types of berries planted. The way things looked, it was almost as if Applejack never left home; that she was already here. She looked up at Light with pleading eyes, and Light noticed this. He chuckled and nodded his head.
"Yes Applejack. You can live here."
"Thank ya so much Light! Also. Ah wanna know. Can the fam stay with me too? It's only me, my big brother Macintosh, my little sister Applebloom, Granny Smith and our dog Winona. Ah I know it's a bit much, but I-" Her speech was interrupted by the Luxray putting his paw on her muzzle.
"It's fine Applejack. It's fine. We have 5 bedrooms in the house, but we will make it work. I promise. Now let's not worry about that. Let's get to the festival" Light said with smile. Applejack nodded and the two ran into the forest, heading towards the beginning festival.
Night had fallen and the mane six along with various ponies were enjoying the time they were having, some were playing games like fishing for koi fish and others were dancing to music made by the Bellossom sisters which Pinkie joined in during the dance routine. Everyone joined in and it was a great time. Applejack explained to her family what happened and Big Mac threatened to hurt the Beedrills if he ever sees them. Light smiled at this and introduced to himself to the apple family.
"Hey there, I'm Light. I am the one who saved your sister." He said.
"Thank ya kindly Light, I'm Big Macintosh. But mah friends call me Big Mac, and this here is Applebloom, Granny Smith and Winona. Nice ta meet ya" He smiled.
Light explained about the living arrangements to the apple family and they had all agreed. Each of the mane six talked about the current places they'll be living in and what is going on right now. After three hours of eating and dancing, the mane six went their separate ways with their Pokemon friends.
"Hey Aurora?" Asked Twilight.
"Yes?"
"You said that you live with your brother and his best friend? Who and what are they?" She asked. Aurora smiled and looked at Twilight and Spike.
"My brother is an shiny Umbreon named Orion. He is an inventor and somewhat of an scientist. And his best friend is named Indra, he is an Absol who likes adventure and books." She explained. Twilight's ears perked at the mention of science and books. She knew she was going to love it there.
Spike noticed the big smile on her face and rolled his eyes.
'Here we go again'
Meanwhile in the Kalos region in the Allearth Forest . A tall blue deer-like creature was walking through an enchanting forest. This creature was a Pokemon known as Xerneas, and she smiled as she watched the fellow Pokemon sleep peacefully in their homes. However, a certain diamond Pokemon rushed to her and had an nervous expression on her face.
'Forgive me Father for what I am about to do' the diamond Pokemon thought.
"Mother Xerneas! It's good to see you again." She greeted.
"Hello Diancie. How's the city holding up and your subjects?" Xerneas asked. Diancie smiled and told her everything's fine. However, she begin to explain what she came here for.
"Uhhh...Mother. Father brought about 7-9 new species of different creatures into Equus and saved them from destruction and extinction without your permission." She said, closing her eyes in fear. While Xerneas may seem kind and gentle, she is one of the few Pokemon you do NOT want to anger. Xerneas had an confuse expression on her face and went to go see for herself. She and Diancie teleported to Avugnon Town and saw Diamond Dogs walking around the city with the Pokemon. She walked up to one of the Diamond Dogs and asked how she and her species got here.
"Some Pokemon brought us here after saving us from our planet's destruction. I'm surprise you didn't know." She said as she walk off.
"Yeah...Me too" Xerneas said as she slowly gain an angry face.
"Told you mother." Diancie said.
Xerneas took a deep breath and screamed in the top of her lungs.
"ARCEUS!!!!!!"
Xerneas and Diancie teleported out of the area with a look of pure anger, ignoring the looks she was getting from the various Diamond Dogs and Pokemon.
Meanwhile in the Hall of Legends, Arceus is spending time with his daughter Mew. He was chuckling and smiled at the pink Pokemon.
"I am sure you will meet tons of new friends, Mew. Just don't cause too much trouble" He said.
"I know. I know. I am not a little kid dad." She replied. Suddenly, Arceus felt a cold shiver went down his spine and he felt pale. Mew noticed this and looked at her father with concern.
"Dad? You alright?" She asked.
"Yes. I just felt the wrath of your mother." He replied.
