A Whole New World We Live In

Chapter 6

  1

Arceus sudden fear increased even more when a bright flash of light appeared revealing two Pokemon he knew. One of them is his daughter, the diamond princess; Diancie. The other is his wife, the Pokemon of life; Xerneas. The Pokemon of Life was starring daggers at the god. If looks could kill, Arceus would had been dead 50x over.

"Sorry Father, I had to tell the truth." Diancie said with a guilty expression on her face. Mew just rolled her eyes and called her a snitch. Arceus cleared his throat and looked into Xerneas, x-like blue eyes. All he could see in them was anger, demanding an explanation. He knew this was going to happened. And he is greatly prepared for it, despite that his wife is looking extremely angry right now.

"Arceus!? Why did you bring not only one but several different species of unknown creatures into the Pokemon World?!" Xerneas demanded.

Arceus cleared his throat and began to explain.

"You see dear, Equus was going through an magical crisis. If I didn't intervene and help, thousands upon thousands of innocent lives would had perished. Yes, I could have send them to a new planet. But there were no other planets I knew of that could of accepted them, so I chose ours. Besides, I do miss neighboring species like we had with the humans." He confessed.

Xerneas sighed but still had an stern look upon her face. She looked at the god, absorbing all the information he had given her. Suddenly, her facial expressions soften and took a deep breath. Sometimes, her husband can be a bit of a moron.

"Arceus. Listen. I know you mean well. But you can't just dump some unknown species onto the Pokemon world. You don't know how they'll react."

"True. But I believe everything will come in peace and harmony. I had already informed the Dux 6 about the new species coming into town." Arceus said.

"But what about War?! Aren't you afraid that another war will break loose?! What if a Pokemon decided to attack or kill a member of a species from Equus and they decided to retaliate?! We can't afford another war Arceus!" Xerneas countered.

"I am happy that you saved them from destruction and had offer them a home. But...I am just worried that things won't go as you planned. Like what the humans did long time ago. Especially to those poor Gardevoir." She shuddered at thought.  Arceus nodded at that, remembering that Gardevoir, Lopunny and Delphox were the mostly targeted Pokemon. Simply because they had resemble human or anthropomorphic women.

"Listen Xerneas. I know I should have talked to you about this. I know I should have thought about it more clearly. But I believe I have done the right thing. Plus, if war ever does break out. I would stop it myself and deal with it, this I promise you. Just trust me on this Xerneas." Arceus replied. Xerneas sighed and looked at her two daughters who were now avoiding eye contact.

"Alright. I am just worried is all. Against my better judgment I will see how this plays out. As long as Mew makes some friends."

Mew giggled and nodded at her mother. "Don't worry mom, I will."

Xerneas smiled at her daughter and looked at her husband. "You better hope you know what you're doing Arceus." She said to herself.

Morning arrives and the sun decided to let some sunlight shine through a certain sun princess's window. She stirred for a bit, only to wake up when the sunlight had beamed on her white face. She turned to the window and grumbled a bit, shielding her eyes from the attacking sunlight.

'Ugh. The sun rises on it's own? If it were up to me, I'd give it an extra hour. Oh well, can't be helped.' Celestia thought. She got out of her bed and looked around her room, her new room.  Her room has a golden color to it with whitish gold curtains hanging on the window. It brought a radiant shine to her room. She smiled at that and looked at the marble golden floor, noticed her cutie mark design on it.

'What the?!' She thought.

She scanned the cutie mark design on the marbled floor and tapped it with her hoof.

"Was this Arceus's doing?" She asked herself. 'This is quite bizarre'. She brushed the strange occurrence aside, assuming it had something to do with the Pokemon god. She looked over to see her sleeping phoenix, Philomena sitting on the window stand. She smiled at that and quietly walked out of her new room. Everything had happened so fast, with her home world exploding and this god named Arceus saving her and her subjects from their planets sudden destruction. She felt like a complete failure, how she couldn't handle the situation. Sure, she helped evacuate everypony into the portals. But she felt like she could had handled the situation a bit better. Deciding not to dwell on the thought and be happy that her precious ponies are safe from harm. She walked down the hallway to get some breakfast. The sun princess had greeted some of her royal guards who gained a job to work in the Sword of the Vale. The Sword of the Vale is the castle home of Eindoak Town. It reminded her of the Canterlot Castle back in her own world. She sighed sadly at the thought of her homeworld, she will indeed miss it.

"Good morning, Sister." Said Luna.

Celestia looked up to see her sister, smiling at her. She smiled back and nodded at her younger sibling.

"Good morning, Luna" Celestia replied.

Luna nodded at her "Hello, I was just about to see the town, to see what it has to offer."

Celestia looked out of the window and noticed some ponies and other Pokemon are interacting with one of another. It amazed her how friendly some can be with others. But she knew well enough that conflict was inevitable.

"Sure, I would like to join you Luna, but first. Let us get some breakfast." Celestia suggested with a smile. The two royal sisters walked down the hall, passing by statues of legendary Pokemon. Some of the statues she recognized such as Arceus and the Swords of Justice. That reminded her of the leader of that group, Cobalion. The legendary Pokemon is very kind and not to mention quite handsome. Celestia felt a small blush coming from her cheeks. She shook her head vigorously, banishing the thought of the Sword of Justice. She wasn't looking for a relationship, not since what had happened between her and Sombra. She signed sadly at the thought of him, he was everything she had wanted. It was a shame he had gone to the dark side of magic.

'Sombra' She thought.

"Sister!" Luna called out. Celestia's thoughts were shattered from the sound of the princess of the night's voice. She turned to her younger sister and gave her a questioning look.

"You alright? I had said that we have arrived to the mess hall. You were spacing out on us." She said. Celestia looked ahead and noticed two Bisharp guarding the doors that lead to the mess hall. The two Pokemon nodded at them and greeted them with a smile.

"Oh..good morning, Princess Celestia. Princess Luna" One of the Bisharp greeted. The two royal sisters raised their eyebrows at the guards. Since when did the Pokemon started calling them princess? Sure, obviously they were princesses before. But that was in the past, the two hold no power here.

"Oh...It's alright young Pokemon. You do not have to call us Princess. Celestia is just fine." Celestia smiled.

"Oh. But Sir Cobalion insist. You're a princess. Therefore, it's appropriate to call you by your titles." The Bisharp replied. Celestia groaned at the this while Luna suppressed a giggled. She shook her head and nodded at the two Bisharp. She would need a talk to the Sword of Justice soon. The two princesses enter the mess hall and had noticed some of the ponies and Pokemon presented. There was Cobalion of course, chatting it up with Virizion and Terrakion. Prince Blueblood and his seven wives were also present. Along them were a large green snake-like creature with ruby red eyes. Next to the Pokemon, was an otter-like creature with a horn and what appeared to be armor. Last but not least, there is a pony-like creature with a red mane and blue tail. He is currently having an conversation with two other creatures. One had green hair and blueish green eyes with a black dress. And the other looked like some kind of squirrel-rabbit creature with blue eyes. To Celestia, the creature was incredibly cute, nibbling on an apple like an hamster. The Sword of Justice leader, Cobalion noticed the sun and moon princesses and decided to greet them.

"Ah. Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. So happy for you both to join us. Everyone. I would like you to meet Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Cobalion introduced. The Pokemon in the room turned to the two royal sisters and begin to introduce themselves.

"I am Queen Emrada. I am a Serperior. And this is King Mifune, He is an Samurott." The queen said as she held up the tip of her leafy tail. Celestia and Luna immediately understood the gesture and shook the tail with their hooves.

"It's quite nice to meet you, Queen Emrada and King Mifune." Celestia replied. Samurott held up his paw to the princesses who shook it as well.

"Welcome to Eindoak Town. We had heard about what had happened to your home planet. We are terribly sorry for your loss." He said with sadness. Celestia and Luna bowed their head and smiled equally sad.

"Tis alright, King Mifune. For we are forever grateful that our loving subjects are safe from harm." Luna spoke. Mifune nodded to that and looked behind him to see a certain pony legendary not paying any attention to the princesses. This made Mifune grumbled a bit and went to glare at the Pokemon.

'This generation these days. No respect' He thought.

"KELDEO! MELOETTA! VICTINI!!" Mifune shouted. This had gained the three legendary Pokemon attention. The trio looked at Mifune and then the princesses. They all walked up to them and bowed out of respect.

"S-Sorry about that. I am Keldeo. A Sword of Justice. And these are my friends Meloetta, the Pokemon of Melody and Victini. Pokemon of Victory." Keldeo introduced. Celestia and Luna shook hooves with the three Pokemon and gave Keldeo a look of confusion.

"You look so much like a pony." Luna commented.

"Oh. Yeah I suppose so. To be honest. I noticed some ponies here and there yesterday. I couldn't believe it. There were even times where other Pokemon confused me for a pony. I guess you could call me a Ponymon or something." Keldeo joked.

Victini laughed at this, while Meloetta just shook her head.

"It is lovely to meet you princesses. Like King Mifune had said, I am terribly sorry about the destruction of your home planet." Meloetta apologized.

"It is alright Meloetta, We are just happy our subjects are safe from harm." Celestia replied with a kind smile. Cobalion cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention. Celestia and Luna looked up at Cobalion, while the sun princess was trying to suppress a blush once again.

"Princess Celestia. Princess Luna. Come sit with us. Let us talk." He suggested.

The two sisters found two empty seats and sat in them. Celestia also noticed that two ponies, Shining Armor and Cadence were missing. Did they had breakfast already?

"Cobalion? Do you know where Shining Armor and Princess Cadence are?" Asked the solar monarch.

"They had said they were going to explore the town and see what it has to offer."

To say they were surprise would be an understatement. The roads were made out of crystal, similar to the Crystal Empire. Shining and Cadence could not believe it. They also noticed that some Pokemon  and other ponies begin to marvel at the sight of the crystal ponies who lived here. The couple began to hear chattering with ooo's and ahh's. The crystal prince and princess turned to see a crowd of Pokemon in the middle of the road starring at some object.

'What the? What's going on over there?' Cadence thought.

The two ponies walked over to inspect what was going to find something very shocking. What the Pokemon were starring at wasn't no ordinary object. The object was no other than the Crystal Heart.

"I don't understand. How could the Crystal Heart be here?!" Cadence said.

"It must of been Arceus's doing." Shining replied. Their thoughts were interrupted by a sound of a loud bang and scream. The two ponies along with some royal guards and Bisharp found a downed mare with a lime green coat and blue mane and tail. She was surrounded by an anthropomorphic yellow creature with a big nose and white fur around it's neck. It was also holding what appeared to be a pendulum. A brown bipedal Pokemon with colored lights on it's hands. And lastly, another Pokemon that was similar to a squid in comparison. It held an sinister look on it's face.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!!"Shouted one of the royal guards. The three Pokemon looked at the ponies and begin to grin.

"We are the Royal Guard of Eindoak Town, We are here to serve and protect our citizens."

One of the Bisharp guards smiled at this and decided to back some of the royal guard up. "That is right. For attacking an innocent mare and disturbing the peace. You're under arrest." He declared. The squid-like creature could only chuckle at the declaration.

"I am under arrest? Funny. And I believe Princess Celestia and Sir Cobalion had made you the royal guards of protecting this place? Your princess is nothing but a fool." The squid-like creature now known as a Malamar said.

This had angered some of the royal guards.

"What did you say?!" Yelled out one of the guards.

The Malamar chuckled and repeated himself. "I had said. Your princess is nothing but a fool." This provoked the royal guard even further. Deciding to shut his mouth once and for all, three of guards charged at the Malamar. Intent on taking him down. Cadence noticed something odd about the Malamar's eyes and the strange pattern on his body. His body began to glow a faint blue as his belly glowed a faint yellow.

'Oh no' Cadence thought.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU THREE!! HE'S A PSYCHIC TYPE POKEMON!!!" Cadence warned, But it was too late. The Malamar already had the royal guards in his grasp in a telekinetic hold.

"You should've backed down" He told them coldly and threw the guards away from them. Some of them crashing into tables and others into wooden crates.

Shining begin to order some of the crystal guards to check up on the down guards. He glared daggers on the trio of chuckling Pokemon.

"Who are you!? Why are you doing this?!" He demanded.

The Malamar stopped chuckling and glared at the pony. "You have no orders of telling me what to do, Shining Armor."

The white stallion was completely shocked. "How...How do you know my name?!"

The Malamar chuckled again, but the Hypno next to him begin to answer. "It's our job as psychic type Pokemon to know who and what you are. It would seem.....unnatural if we didn't."

"I knew it.....So you are psychic type Pokemon! Just what the hell did you do to that poor mare?!" demanded Cadence.

The Malamar sighed and decided to answer their questions. "Very well then, I shall explain who we are and what happened to the mare. I am Mal. I am a Malamar. And these are my....lackeys, Pend the Hypno....and Enigma the Beheeyem. We are a 'Rescue Team' known as...Team Hypnosis."

"How do you do." Enigma greeted.

"Charmed." Pend said.

"R-Rescue Team?" Shining Repeated.

Mal chuckled and nodded at the prince. "That's right. We go around either stealing items or stealing lives. Depending our mood. But that's not our goal. Our goal....well....you don't need to know."

Cadence growled and looked at the quivering mare and noticed a pink aura surrounding her. "And what about the mare?! What did you do to her."

Enigma smiled and looked at the crystal princess. "We....put her to sleep."

Cadence, the guards and Shining Armor gasped at this. "Y-Y-You killed her?!"

Mal laughed at this and shook his head, grinning at them sinisterly. "Oh no...not yet. You see the pink aura. We are sapping her energy away by eating her dreams. Pend is using an technique called Dream Eater. It's a technique that saps all your life energy while you sleep. It is also one of the 10 illegal moves to use here due to it being extremely lethal."

Shining Armor growled and begin to light up his horn. "You bastards....stop this at once."

Mal glared and ignore him. "You fool. You make no demands here. Soon this whole world will be ours and everyone in it will fall-" Mal didn't get to finish his sentence as a he felt a hard force hit against his cheek. The force sent him flying towards a wooden food stand. But that's not all, Pend and Enigma felt a searing blast of heat hit them as well, sending them back.

Mal recovered from the attack and looked upon his attackers. To say he was shock is an understatement. There stood two recognizable Pokemon in brown hooded cloaks smirking at him. One is a Lucario with a bone rush technique activate and the other is female Delphox with the flaming branch in her paw.

"You know. Attacking the guards is one thing. But attacking innocents and going around like you own the place just crosses the line." Said the Lucario. The Lucario walked up to the down pony and gave her a piece of a Chesto Berry. The pony woke up to the face of the Lucario starring at her. Of course, upon instinct the mare begin to flail around, actually managing to hit the Lucario in the face; much to the Delphox's amusement.

"Relax. Relax. I am here to save you. You barely have any energy left. But the Pokemon Center should fix that right up." He smiled. He put her down and turned to Mal and his gang. The Delphox walked by his side, smirking and feeling her Pokemon blood beginning to boil.

"W-Who are you?" Shining asked.

The Lucario smiled at the prince and nodded. "I am Sir Aaron. Captain of Sir Cobalion's Steel Sword Guards."
