Mal's frown quickly turned into a sinister grin. He watched the two Pokemon approach him slowly, getting ready to attack when the moment is right. Enigma and Pend walked up to Mal's side, helping the Malamar up on his feet.

"I never thought I'd see you again? Aaron. And you, Miss Nova...." Mal grinned.

Nova growled at the Malamar and was about to approach him, But Aaron put a paw up to her; telling her that he'll handle this. Nova nodded and stepped aside. The Pokemon of Aura glared at the Malamar and pointed at him.

"That's SIR Aaron to you, Mal! What are you doing here? And why you hurting these ponies?!" Aaron demanded.

Mal just chuckled coldly a grin at the Lucario. "I don't need to answer you, I am simply doing this for my own gain. Also, you're in no position to make demands. We are a team of a psychics and you're just a fighting type. We have the advantage."

Aaron just growled and activated his Bone Rush, preparing for battle.Psycho Cut

Mal and his partners eyes glow blue as they prepare as well.

Aaron charged at the psychic Pokemon, quickly attacking with his Bone Rush move. The Malamar saw this coming and dodge all of his strikes, he grinned and used a Psybeam against the aura Pokemon. Acting quickly, Aaron spun his Bone Rush staff in front of him like a fan. It reflected the attack back at Mal who took the blunt of the attack but didn't affect him at all due to his dark typing. Aaron then let out a huge Dragon Pulse , but Mal made half a dozen copies of himself with Double Teambefore hitting Aaron with Thunderbolt. The Lucario closed his eyes to concentrate and sensed the aura of the true Mal and threw an Aura Sphere at him. They then ran at each other, Mal with Psycho Cut and Sir Aaron with Metal Claw. At the last minute, the Lucario ducked and hit his opponent with a Metal Claw uppercut. Mal then rose up into the air and used Psychic to lift Aaron up with him before throwing him back to the ground, but before he could do it again he was faced with the unbearable Metal Soundcoming from the spot where he had thrown his enemy. Once he cleared his head he was knocked out of the sky by a Shadow Ball. The smoke on the ground showed Sir Aaron standing upright, who cracked his neck before rushing his enemy.

Meanwhile, Nova jumped away to avoid the attacks of Enigma and Pend, the former of which shot a Hidden Power at her, causing the Delphox to slam into a wall. She growled before she became completely covered in her own flames, and went for the Beheeyem at a blinding speed, but was met with Pend and his Zen Headbutt. The two clashed before they both jumped back. They both went in with the same attack of Zen Headbutt, but she engulfed them both in her Mystical Fire. Pend brought his hands together for a Focus Blast, while Nova responded with Signal Beam. The two attacks caused a small explosion causing the area they were in to become with smoke. The Hypno and Beheeyem looked around to find their foe, and saw a silhouette of their target. They instantly fired a Shadow Ball and Charge Beamonly to find nothing there. Their eyes widened as they were hit by a Flamethrower. They were about to retaliate when they saw their leader getting hit by a barrage of Extreme Speedattacks.

Aaron charged at the psychic type Pokemon, but was intercepted by Enigma and Pend.

'Dammit! How could I have forgotten about the other two?!' Aaron thought.

"You will desist in harming our leader." Enigma ordered monotonously as he and Pend charged up a Charge Beam and Focus Blast. Mal grinned as he gave his partners a nod; the two pokemon launched their attacks at the Lucario. Aaron was prepared to counter both attacks; however two different colored shields appeared around him and protected him from the attack. He looked at the source on where it came from to find the two ponies he just seen earlier, Shining Armor and Cadence.

"Three against one? That's hardly fair..." Shining Armor said. Aaron looked at the unicorn and then at the Alicorn, soon Nova joined him as well.

"Now it's four against three....You better quit while you're ahead Mal." Nova warned. Mal growled but knew that they were right, not to mention the remaining guards. He then began to glow along with his teammates, one of the Bisharp guards noticed that this is the move called Teleport.

"He's planning to escape!" One of them announced but it was too late. As soon as that sentence was finished, they were already gone. Aaron growled at this and ordered some of the guards to clean up the mess and take in the green downed mare that the so called rescue team attack. Shining Armor meanwhile had ordered the rest of Eindoak Town's residents to go back into their daily activities. He turned to the Lucario and smiled at him.

"Thanks for saving my butt back there, uh...What is your name?" Asked Aaron.

"Shining....Shining Armor and this is my wife Cadence." He introduced. Cadence walked up to the two Pokemon and bowed to them.

"It is nice to meet you Sir Aaron of the Steel Sword Guards and....I am sorry, What is your name?" Cadence asked the Delphox. She smiled and shook the princess of love's hoof.

"My name is Nova. I am Aaron's fiancee . It's nice to meet you too." Nova replied. Cadence smiled and then gained a serious look on her face and turned to Aaron.

"What is going to happened to that mare? Is she going to be alright?" She asked.

Aaron smiled at her concern and nodded. "Do not worry, she'll just be taken into questioning. After she has answered all of our questions; she's free to go. We just need to know her side of the story and what went down."

                                                                                           12 minutes later

The green mare had found herself in a white room with a same colored table. Across the table, was a Bisharp, a Lucario and two royal guards. One of the guards she noticed was Shining Armor. The mare suddenly felt scared, thinking she was going to be thrown in jail or even worse. Being a Lucario can allow you to feel other creature's auras, and her aura right now radiated fear. Aaron decided to take a more gentle approach and gave her a small smile.

"Relax. If you are wondering if you would be thrown in jail. You're not. You have done absolutely nothing wrong." Aaron said.

This seemed to calm the mare's nerves as she took a deep breath.

"We just want you to answer some questions for us ok?" Shining Armor added. The mare nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself once more.

"Let's start with your name. Who are you and what happened?" Asked Aaron.

"Well, My name is Spring Meadow and as you know, I was attacked by those three Pokemon. What had happened before all of this was I was planning to leave the town to go live in Pokemon Hills. I heard it's peaceful and not much of a bustling city. Don't get me wrong, this place is nice...but it isn't me." She apologized.

Aaron and Shining Armor chuckled at that, knowing exactly how she feel. After sharing a laugh, Spring decided to continue her story.

"I was walking through the streets and I saw the three Pokemon, chatting amongst themselves. I decided to go ask for directions to the nearest train station. They said that they would lead me to the train station, however they only lead me to dark alley. I knew something was up but I just didn't want to believe it. My thoughts were true when they attacked me and demanded my bits...I mean, Poke. Sorry. Anyways, I try to fend them off myself but I wasn't...strong enough....I...I lost them and my Poke along with the rest of my belongings were stolen." She finished as tears started to come out of her eyes. Aaron and Shining Armor took all the information in and nodded to themselves.

"Alright Ms. Spring. Just step out of this room and we will get everything situated. Giving you some poke to move out and an ID."Aaron said.

Spring nodded with tears streaming down her face, smiling. "Thank you so much sir." The guards had lead her out of the room and Shining and Aaron followed, they turned to see their lovers Nova and Cadence standing there. The two walked up to their parents and gave them a smile.

"So how did it go?" Asked Cadence.

"It went well. Her name is Spring Meadow and she was robbed and attacked by those three Pokemon. She was trying to leave Eindoak Town to live in a place much quieter." Aaron replied.

Nova nodded while Cadence gasped at this. "She was tricked or something?" Nova asked.

Shining Armor replied "Yeah. She went up to them and asked for directions to the nearest train station. They had said they would help, lead her to a dark alley and had attacked and robbed her. Then that's when we heard her scream."

Nova and Cadence absorb the information in. They pray that she'll be alright. Then, a thought came to Shining Armor, he remembered that Aaron had said that move that Mal was using is forbidden.

"Hey, Sir Aaron? You mentioned earlier that Mal used a forbidden move called....Hypnosis was it?...What do you mean? Why is it forbidden?" Asked Shining Armor.

Nova and Aaron looked at each other and sighed. He looked at Shining Armor and spoke. "A long time ago, Xerneas declared for ten certain moves to be forbidden to use due to their power and abilities. Use one of these moves and you could end up in the dungeon for about five years time and stripped from using your Pokemon powers."

Cadence and Shining gulped at this, it was a good thing they were not Pokemon, so it didn't really applied to them. But it did scared them a bit, back in Equestria the most someone could stay in the dungeon was six months. In Unova, it's five years, and that's for using an illegal move. If that's what you can get for using something illegal, they hated to know what the penalty for murder was. Cadence and Shining soon regain themselves and asked what were the other nine illegal moves that were forbidden to use.

"Oh...let's see then....Fissure, Zap Cannon, Dark Void, Metronome, Oblivion Wing, Curse, Sheer Cold, Magma Storm and Gastro Acid. These plus Hypnosis are the moves no Pokemon should ever use....unless they want to spend five years in the dungeon of course." Nova said with slight smirk on her face. Shining Armor and Cadence took all the information in, they would have to be careful and keep a look out on certain Pokemon that will use these techniques. Who knows what kind of destruction it could bring. A thought popped into Shining's mind as he looked at the two Pokemon.

"Sir Aaron? Nova? Where did you two come from?"

Aaron smiled nervously and looked at the sky for a moment before looking back at the prince. "We come from a place from above."

Derpy walked down the stairs of her new home to get some breakfast. There, at the table already was Time Turner or Doctor as she likes to call him reading a newspaper and eating buttered toast. She smiled and trotted towards him, giving him a kiss on the check. Doctor smiled and put his newspaper down.

"Ah, morning Derpy. I see that you're awake." He greeted with a smile.

"Morning Doctor. Wow, it's odd. This new world I mean...and that's saying something since I'm the 'Queen of Odd' " She said with a chuckle. Doctor nodded and looked out a nearby window. There he saw few Pokemon and Ponies going to their new jobs or just simply taking a walk. It was amazing that how quickly some ponies were adapting to the place. But he knew there was bound to be conflict soon. He sighed and looked at his wife who is now eating a Muffin.

"I suppose we should get Dinky in Pokemon Academy too, since her old one got blown up." He said.

"I agree, Dinky does need to go back to school. But I am not sure though....since the school here is for Pokemon. What will they learn? More importantly, what would Ms. Cheerilee would do about the school....it is her special talent after all." Doctor said to himself.

Derpy heard him speak and nodded "I am sure everything will be resolved....Oh! Speaking of jobs. I'm going to be reaaaaal busy today...so could you take Dinky to school to get her registered? We live in this odd but nice community....it'll be best if we do it now then later right?"

Doctor nodded with a smile. "Of course Muffin, I'll do that as soon as I finish eating my breakfast. You should go though, If I remember correctly, there's a post office down the street...maybe you could be mailpony again?" He suggested.

The gray pegasus golden eyes widen as she realized this, she nodded and bolted out the door, while the Doctor chuckled at this.

'Well, time to wake up Dinky and Sparkler...' He thought.

Speaking of the pony, Cheerilee is currently walking towards the building that had a pokeball symbol on it. She is, to say; incredibly nervous actually. This isn't just a school, but a school for Pokemon, a species she knows absolutely nothing about. But that didn't stop her, she needed this career. Teaching children is her life, her passion and destiny, as it's all in her cutie mark.

"Well, Here goes nothing." She said to herself as she opened the doors of the school. The many desk fit for the students and big chalkboard up at front. There also seems to be a Pokemon whose reading a newspaper and listening to a radio. The pokemon looked like some odd plant creature with a flower on it's head. Cheerilee also heard what the radio had said. Something about her fellow ponies and other species arriving in the Pokemon World.

"Are they aliens coming to take over our planet or are they new friends coming to greet us." One of the talk host said.

She heard some chuckling from the radio as host made that joke. Cheerilee rolled her eyes and went in to listen more.

"Well right now, we have a special guest with us today. He is what is known as a changeling from the Johto nation. We are here to answer a few questions." The host announced, Cheerilee blocked out the rest and turned to noticed that the Pokemon was staring at her, She then suddenly became embarrassed and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh..Sorry about intruding in here." She apologized.

The Pokemon smiled...or at least it looked like it did since it doesn't have a mouth. Cheerilee nervously looked to the side, trying to avoid eye contact and the awkwardness that is presented. The Pokemon giggled and finally spoke to her, giving the mare her full attention.

"Sorry about that, I got a little distracted and didn't see you come in. I am Daisy, I am a Lilligant. That is a grass type Pokemon. You must be Ms. Cheerilee." Daisy said.

This surprised the mare and she nodded her head. "Yes...but how do you know that?" She asked.

Daisy giggled and replied. "Yesterday, a mare by the name of Milano Mash came in yesterday and introduced herself. She told me about the school back in Equestria, you and all the wonderful good heart children in there. You sound like an amazing teacher, Ms. Cheerilee."

Cheerilee blushed at the praise and smiled "Oh you..." But then she remembered why she came here. "Oh you see....Ms. Daisy...I came here for a request. I...I want to become a teacher here. You see, teaching isn't just my career. It's a passion and my life...and I-" Her speech was interrupted by the giggling Pokemon.

Cheerilee became irritated and glared at the offending Pokemon. "And what is so funny?!" The Lilligant ceased her giggling and looked at the pony.

"It's funny to me because I was going to come and try to look for you and talk about the job. You could teach with me" She said.

"You mean collaborative teaching?"

"Yeah! That! I can teach the ponies all about Pokemon and you can teach the pokemon all about ponies? Whaddya say?" She suggested. Cheerilee thought about it. She would be learning more about Pokemon from Daisy teaching the ponies. She smiled and nodded.

"Sure. Why not. But don't you think the classroom has.....a few desk...the fillies and colts who will be attending will be quite alot." She replied. Daisy looked at the classroom and notice there are only fifty desk tables and chairs in the room. She had seen Cheerilee's point, it could be crowded. However, she had an idea and she'll need her help to do it.

"I got an idea. How 'bout we put these desk away and get the other ones I have in the back. We will get larger desk and two ponies or pokemon or even both can share that desk. It'll make group projects a lot easier." She suggested.

Cheerilee nodded and smiled "Alright. Let's get to it."

Meanwhile with Derpy, the gray pegasus was walking down the street to see the Pelipper Post Office. Like the Doctor had said, she could score a job as a mailmare for Unova. She just hopes she doesn't screw up and her boss will be lenient towards her. There she was, standing right in front of the building. She examine the building and noticed it is shaped like a Pelipper. She walked in and had seen many Pokemon most of them were bird-like and others were dragons. Derpy smiled and walked up to the counter where she saw a Pelipper doing some work. The Pelipper noticed her and smiled.

"Why hello there, Miss. How can I help you?" He asked.

"Yeah. I wanted to become a mail pony here? You see, I was originally delivering mail back in Ponyville." She said.

Before the Pelipper could reply, a dragon Pokemon with red lens came up to her and began to examine her. "Tsk..are you sure you're capable of delivery? You won't be just delivering mail in Post Treasure Town. You will also be delivering mail all around Unova."

Derpy put on a challenging grin and stomped her hoof. "You know it!"

"You'll also have to go through harsh blizzards, thunderstorms and scary sandstorms to deliver packages as well? It's alright if you wanna chicken out." The dragon Pokemon said, trying to scare the Pegasus. However, what the Pokemon didn't know was that Derpy already has experience in those type of situations.

"I already have experience in that area. I can handle it." She retorted

Before the Pokemon could replied back, The Pelipper decided to break it up before it escalated. He turned and glared at the Flygon and told her to get back to work.

"Yes Mr. Pete." She grumbled as she left the office. He sighed and shook his head and smiled at the gray Pegasus, apologizing for that minor altercation.

"Oh that's alright. Not the first time that somepony didn't believe in my skills." She chuckled, but soon her eyes widen as she saw what had caught her eye. There, sitting at the ride side of her and was plate of fresh baked muffins. She licked her lips and stared at the delicious treats. Mr. Pete had noticed and begin to chuckle.

"I see you like muffins. They're usually for mailers, something to start their day since they would have work early in the morn-"

"And they're free?!"

"I'm sorry?"

"Muffins?! FREE?!?!"

"I uh...Yes?"

"YES!!! MUFFINS!!!" Derpy yelled out as she caught the attention of the Pokemon in the office. Some were conversing about what just transpired.

"I was not ready for today." An Altaria spoke.

"I don't think any of us were." Replied a Noctowl.

Mr. Pete chuckled sheepishly and eventually calmed the mare down, smiling at her. He did love her energy, just what the dull office needed.

Vinyl and Octavia are now staying in their homes moving things around the house. They had only managed to take so much stuff since the whole end of the world disaster. Octavia sighed as she moved her cello near the stairs, she'll admit though. Their old house was so much better and Vinyl does seem to like it.

"Yo Tavi! Come in here real quick!" Called out the DJ. Octavia sighed and walked upstairs to find the DJ rummaging through her stuff like a madmare. She raised an eyebrow at her roommates actions and sighed.

"What is the matter, Vinyl?" She asked.

"What's the matter?! WHAT'S THE MATTER!? I LOST MY SHADES THAT'S WHAT'S THE MATTER!?!?" She yelled.

Octavia's eyes widen at this and tried to calm her best friend down, but to no avail.

"What am I going to do?!" Vinyl asked herself.

Octavia thought to herself and then, suddenly an idea came. "We have 3000 bits each...I mean Poke right? Well, let's just buy some new shades for you down in Pokemon City? I could also use some new musical records...since my old ones were destroyed."

Vinyl thought to herself and nodded, at the bright side she'll be gaining some new shades. But at the bad side, she'll be replacing her old ones. She sighed and smiled, best not to dwell into the past.
