//-------------------------------------------------------// Pokemon Zenmon: Future of Displace -by Kye Belmont- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Awaken Aura //-------------------------------------------------------// Awaken Aura (Twilight Sparkle POV) 1 year later after Nightmare Moon defeat, in Equestria It was A beautiful morning! The sky has a nice, refreshing, cool wind with it’s light-blue color. Grass blowing in easy breeze, snapped flute like sounds sings in the wind. Ponies walking around without a care in a world. For nothing more then ten minutes, it turn chaotic and twisted fur Ponyville. Hovering houses that are upside down, long legged bunnies that skirmish around. Buffalo's dancing with tutu’s on, and random times for the sun and moon to come up fast past! Watching from afar on a pacific throne on a hill, lies a miss-shaped creature called a dreconaquis name ‘Discord‘. He was sipping another glass of chocolate milk, only the glass was being drank and milk still their and not dispersing like it should! After realizing he ran out, he just toss it behind and explode on contact with the floor! ‘Hm~. This isn’t enough. I want more!’ He thought, rub his goat teak as ideas come in like a Congo line. ‘That sound fun!’ How are you goanna do that! You need more then one to do it and your sort-of the only one sane. ‘True… How about chess!’ Nope, still need one more. ‘How about you.’ I’m just a narrator, so no. ‘Oh poo.’ If your done reminiscing, can you get back to the story now... And no more forth wall! ‘Oh all right.’ He spot one pony sneeze so far when an out of control peppershaker flack her, and he laugh hysterically! “Laugh while you can Discord.” I said bravely! Their stands about few feet away is six ponies. And I'm up front. “The gang is all back together again.” Discord said sarcastically and dramatically. “And our friendship is stronger then ever!” Applejack spoke in her accent. “Oh; please. Don’t kid yourself,” Discord raise his talons as it glows, lifting five mares up to him in his magical grip. They squabble and squander, failing to get out. “I’m the one who made you a liar, Applejack!” I teleport them and pull out a barrier over the mane six, shock the dreconaquis. We levitated back on land. Any landscaping's that's been touched, got restored to their normal state! “... Well, it’s time to change the script!” As he said it, a creature that looks like a giant golem that’s bigger then a house! “Go and play Rocky. Take them out and bring them to me alive!” He command as did the giant. All of us are a bit frighten, just the mere size of it got us on edge. My horn lit up as I thought, ‘Princess Celestia, please help us, hurry! Theirs a monster here and it's more then we can handle!’ before a little light speed up to Canterlot Castle. “What. Couldn’t beat this thing without miss Sunbutt’s help; *laughter* that’s ridicules!” Discord cackled. Clutching his stomach, laughing as golem move closer to them. After he dyed down; he add. “All she’ll do is give it a tickle *laugh*!” Before it’s hand reach us, came in unexpected. A sudden blast to the face got it, stumbling backwards. ****** (??? POV) 1 hour ago, Dream Scape I don’t know how long I've been here. Ten, fifteen, twenty minutes… Think I’ve over counted that. I’ve been searching for a way out of this, Forest of Dreams. Wait, is it four minutes! Actually it’s five minutes! ‘Oh thank you!’ Sure thing…! Ahhh damn it! ‘What the! Who's-their!’ I look around hastily fur the owner of that voice, see nothing. ‘I think I’m losing my mind.’ Yeah, you are. I’m gonna ignore that. Back to the topic at hand, or paw(?). I want to know why I’m here, and why I’m a pokemon in the first place. But a curtain someone just don't know the concept of quiet. Narrator: Hay DM-PON3000, How long will it take for him to lose his mind? (Smirk) DM-PON3000: About, less then fifteen minutes. You? Narrator: More then an hour to six hours. … … … Yupe, I am losing my mind, and I got a headache. DM-PON3000: I win! Narrator: Damn. (Giving DM-PON three thousand bit’s in a bag) (Twilight Sparkle POV) “What!” Unable to comprehend on what just happen. He calm down after seeing Zecora with two more vials in hoof. “Oh. It’s just you.” Discord said nonchalant. “Keep going. This zebra has no power to worried.” Golem continued it’s course. But a blast from behind got Discord mad and glare at Celestia, her gold glow from her horn shooting out bolts of fire. Each one hit it’s mark for only small scorch-mark to get it’s attention. “Bre-bre-bregatang bre~gi~tang~” It charge a spark in it’s forehead before shooting a beam that hit her wing, which fell from the sky wailing in agony. Her collision went smack-in. Barely breathing, sluggishly getting up to her hooves. For only to get hit again by another beam, and knock her off her hoofs. “PRINCESS!” I cried out. “*Cackle* Di-di did you really think you can beat me~ and my Rocky friend! *laugh*” dreconaquis clutching his stomach, bellowing in laughter. all of us stood between Princess Celestia and golem. My shaken form didn’t help on my confidence. “I won’t let you hurt anymore ponies!” I shouted. “Let’s see then! I bet none of you can't even beat me!” He grin. (Narrator POV) Almost an hour have past, everypony had bruises, or some got scared and hid somewhere. Twilight skid on her side from a tremendous force, crash into an old tree. Looks like it’s been crystallized and hasn’t even decayed or even broken down. It carries apples that’s made of crystals. One fell off and roll across the floor. It continued for a bit; before stopping in front of the agonizing mare. Hear-in a thump right in front of her muzzle, her nose pick-up a sweet and delicious smell. She open her tired eyes, they have gotten heavy. ‘A… an apple… Wh, why. Are. Their.. Apple‘s… here.’ Twilight thought. Looked behind her with her glossy eyes, spot; the most; beautiful tree ever. Her thoughts came; ‘I… I’m sorry. Everypony.’, her head place back to the floor. “Now, let’s mess with that noggin of yours shall we! Rocky, bring her here and her pals’ too.” Discord command. “Brbrbrbrbrbrbr-ig~at~ng.” Golem complied. Stomped ever-closer, like it’s heavy. Tiny cracks came visible, slowly seeping across crystallized bark like spider webs. Twilight had her back on known tree at that point, golem reach out it hand. A none heard voice echoed. ‘Enemy!’ *Crack* Act-in fast, she drag herself away, only to back against the tree. Desperately tried to find something, something to give her hope. It stop right in front, verified target. Her eyes gone prick for calculating her chance to get out of their! Hand reached out to grab her; it’s big enough to squeeze her in the palm of it’s hand! Twilight sob fur the upcoming event that sure to throw everything into eternal chaos. “Brrrbwuabrrrrrr-*Bang!*” She blinks. ’That’s.. Odd?’ Not feeling any pain or even a squeeze. Her curiosity got a better, Twilight looked up. Above her was a black and blue paw with armored gauntlet. Outstretched limb struck said golem; hard, causing it to launch backwards, forty feet away in-fact!! It slip while lifting itself up, even it has problem’s with slippery floors, that’s Discord mistake. Her eyes were barely sees from this point. But what she spot, is a canine/biped-like creature stepping out where the tree once stood, now it's shattered piles of crystals. It's eyes close, walking forward in a calm manner. No point to rush, for those who comes the spoil. Everypony except for Twilight and Zecora are unconscious from Discords new toy. Her eyes looking down it's features with intrigued and crucial detailed eyes. Discord rub his goat teak, watching it walk closer to his creation. “What do we have here!... It look similar to Rocky when it showed up. Hm!” Slowly grown to a grin, mumbling to himself! It started to charge Hyper Beam fur a moment before releasing. Stream of energy shot out of it’s black dot. Moved to the right, miss it by an inch. Think-in quickly; sprint forward and punch it really hard, sending it flying! Then it… okay; that's it; I’m gonna call it Brigatang for now on! Crashed hard on the ground, causing both Princess Celestia and two mares to have a wake up call! “What!” Celestia yelp out in surprise. Eyes zoom around for any recollection on what happen. Her eyes spot Rarity wake up her friends after wake up from the sudden crash. Twilight on the other hoof is still up and-already caught sight on the canine/biped creature. Her horn lit up and aim towards it! (??? POV) Fallen rock sound from behind caught my attention and I only had seconds before a barrage of stones flung in our direction. 'Stone Edge!' Realized what that is I grab unicorn mare-which flung her limbs around- and jump out of the way. Twilight squirm fur a bit, before feeling her hooves touch the floor. Feeling my limbs letting her go, she trot a few steps away before turning towards me. Cheeks flushed with a ting of embarrassment in her eye. It was short live however. Another round of 'Stone Edge' come again and she charge up her spell, ready to teleport. I however, had other plans for this big guy. Ran up to it, dodging as best I could with only a minimum hit. Ran up to the base of Brigatang's stumpy legs and slung my paw back. I try using 'Power-up Punch' again. You know; the first one I just used earlier. Right paw gave a faint shaded-red colored glow, and thrust forward! Shock seeped through my face as my punch connect to it's torso, staggered and tumbling downwards! "Get up you block head! Now!" Discord command. "And deal with those ponies first and then you can deal with that canine later!" Wow, he's very desperate for the least. It raise up before surprising a right hook on me; which slide across the floor right near Celestia and mares. "*Rowl*" A bit of frustration came through my mouth in growl. I couldn't raise myself up! My paw has struggled on holding balance. Complete shock cross my face! 'Ni-NO! I haven't even recover yet!' I thought in worry. Bregitang step closer to me with every intent to eliminate me. (Twilight Sparkle POV) "Are you girls ready?" I said. Each mare started to flout in mid-air, gem in each necklaces shine. My tiara glow brightly before my eyes gone completely white. Then, all of a sudden. A rainbow ascend above and descend on Discord. Him in total panic, arms flailing around before stretch forward as his body gone petrified. He looks like he's saying STOP with body language! Brigatang stop as it turn red, then gone. Everything flash in a bright light before dampening to reveal that everything gone to normal. After a whole ten minutes of celebrating, I just remember that creature from earlier is still around. Search'in for it for only spot it still their. It struggled to get up. I came closer, ready to unhand this creature in my magic. As I walk closer, I can see more detail now that the sun is back. A mash of blue and black bodied canine, blond furred chest and a red cat eye. I continued to examine it, I just realized something, it's not getting back up. Wonder'in on whether it's alive or not, I walk up closer, and place a hoof on it's neck for it's vital point. Feeling a pulse here and their has told me that it's alive, including it's breathing is getting ragged. Princess wouldn't mind if I examine it at Canterlot's lab. Before she knew it, teleport both of them their. (Narrator POV) About an hour has past from bringing him to the cold table. She thought of it as 'he', for reasons of blushing from earlier's explanation. Twilight's cold, gloved hooves felt below its chest, lightly brushing against his ribs. Twilight's hooves made their way up his sides, occasionally putting pressure along certain areas. She examined its arms and paws as well, moving them around to see how they performed. She stopped a few times to jot down a note or two before returning to the act. "He seem to have a mostly Diamond Dog's bone structure, apart from certain, small deformities. It's almost as if the bones were stretched in some places," Twilight said, looking closely at a particular spot on his elbow. Twilight came down and grabbed him by the cheeks and looked deeply at his face. She turned his head, studying it carefully. Twilight opened his mouth and inspected his tongue. "Hmm. Excessive warmth... a much faster breathing rate than most creature..." Twilight grabbed a stethoscope off the counter, placing the cold metal against the canines chest. "Highly elevated heart rate as well. Possibly different metabolic levels," Twilight said to herself as she jotted down a few notes. Twilight ran her hoof's across his shins, inspecting the movement of every joint from his knee to toes. "Hmm. Seemingly normal, except for the strange formations across your skeleton." She spoke to him even tho he's unconscious. Sees the moon out shows how detracted she was. Eyes tired from long physical examination, Twilight teleport back home for a good night sleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// Bug Exterminator, Gossip With A Nurse //-------------------------------------------------------// Author's Note Sorry for the wait. It took me a while before realizing that I have no opinions... That sucks! Anyways, I have to check this a few times to feel like it's ready for trial. All of you are the judge who choose this chapter guilty, or not guilty. Bug Exterminator, Gossip With A Nurse 2 Week Later, {??? POV} Another day for Equestria, for Ponyville, for... ... I have no idea. Give me a break! I woken up by some strange beeping. Vision came back into view, eyes half open. "Thou're awake!" Eyes search'in for the owner of said voice. Eyes land on the owner of the voice. Right near the edge of the hospital bed rest five ponies. 'If my memories are accurate.' Purple unicorn name; 'Twilight something.', white unicorn 'Unknown.', white pony wearing nurse uniform 'I guess a nurse.', and two tall ponies. One is white with aurora, both horn and wings; her face gives out authority. 'Leader of the pack.' I felt myself froze, feel'in my eyes widen at encounter'in an old acquaintance. One that made me froze is the midnight, horn, winged pony. Some familiar feeling has arose in me from just looking at said mare. Staring at me in surprise, and utter shock from those stern but glistening eyes! White pony know-tic this too. "What tees wrong sister?" Whispered to said pony. Feeling a bit concern for her younger mare. She didn't get an answer by words, but instead; shows? Midnight pony walk up to me, lean in and gave a bone crushing hug! Causing me to gasp from unable to breath. Surprising both her and every- pony, eh. If I have to describe on what I'm feeling. "Ohhhhhoooo, I miss you soooo much!" It's definitely painful, shocking, and having some tears falling off my cheeks, it's more then enough answer. Move her head back, revealing a grin with a slight smile of joy. "We thought we would never see each other. But thou have appeared before us! When we have heard of a two legged, canine creature is being examined here from Twilight Sparkle, we have to come fer confirmation. Now we know, we feel so much joy and happiness!" She starts sobbing near the end! It was Twilight Sparkle who spoke out. "Princess Luna! Why are you crying?" Instead of Luna speaking, I intervene. Couldn't keep this going for a long squeeze. Spoke with my mouth into sync with my words. "Lu, Lulu! C-could you pleeaaase let go of me. Your suff-your suffocating me." Gasping for air as best I could. I tried flail'in my arms, didn't work. Luna's hooves have wrapped around my top part, restricting them from much movements. She didn't hear me at first before repeating myself again. "LUNA, I, CAN'T, BREATH!" That got her attention. Moved her head back, her cheeks turn red. Placed me in a sitting position, taking a step back. "We-, I have forgotten, sorry!" After releasing me, I suck up lots of air. Sweet, SWEET AIR! "Can somepony, ANYPONY, pel-eeease tell me whats going on!" Twilight whine, completely clueless of the situation. Before Luna or I say anything, something else was happen. An unknown silhouette walk out from the shadow behind Twilight. Feel'in it's presents, I shout. "WATCH OUT!" Take'in action. I jump above purple mare and grab said shadow. Surprised the mare from the unexpected act. I ignored any stares on me, instead, verified the suspect. My eyes see a creature that has an appearance of a large spider that's up to my chest height. 'An Ariados!' Before knowing on what happen, I got bit by a purple, green glowing fangs; 'Poison Fang' and biting down on my left arm! Hiss in pain, I gain a serious face! "*GROWL*" I growled in frustration. Reason to hit back, my available paw gleam in a brick color in a chop position, 'Brick Break'. "Makaaaaaaaaaa CHOP!" Before even realizing it, I swung down on Ariados body when I called 'chop', hitting it hard, causing it to daze! Finally releasing it's vice, pain still flowing within. Before feeling my left fist give out a brick color glow before saying; "Power-Up Punch!" and hit it with a jab. Following it up with a few punch, kicks, pound, elbow and knee thrust. It didn't stay like that for long. Once it got out of the daze, it started to shoot a barrage of purple needles; 'Poison Sting', head'in straight at me! Seen them coming, dodging and weaving with great ease. Imagining all my training from wood crossing past. However, my injuries from earlier have come back. Left arm twinge from earlier bite marks, forcing one eye close. 'Gurr!' Just that moment, cause me to get hit by almost half of the barrage of needles. "*RAAAAAAWWWLL*!" After a minute of needles', it finally ended. Body sluggishly to the point of dread. Arms hung down from constant blocking! Hear'in heavy gruff's and huffs, signs of exhaustion in plan sight. Ariados preparing for a final blow. An eye stare at said bug, my mind went to overdrive. 'This time. I'll end this in one BLOW!' {Narrator POV} Through out the time, everyone -including four more visitors- have either wonder, weary, or terrified. Only Luna has a knowing face, for she have seen this for countless times in her years. However, when she saw him fight like this. Luna felt weary, and worries. 'Aeron...' Luna thought his name. {Aeron POV} Feel'in frustration leak'in out my grunts and growls, I ran up to it until I was in point blank range! I released all of my frustration out into this one, powerful punch; 'Power-Up Punch', and swung it all in one go. As it made contact, which created a draft. Ariados ski across the floor fer a sec, stammering around on all four, taking more then it can bare. After a few seconds, it slump down on the floor. Eyes displayed a swirl like pattern. Ariados has fainted. {Narrator POV} As the fight ended, they only stare at the now fallen spider. Twilight's mind gone more confuse. Stoop from unable to comprehend on what happen. "AERON!" Luna ran up to the canine-like creature that fell into a kneel position. Holding his bitten arm with more grip. 'Aeron?' Twilight mentally ask, try to piece's together what she does know. An orange mare walk up to the calculating-mode Twilight, place'in a hoof onto one shoulder. "Ar ya alright their?" Orange mare ask concern. "I... I don't know." Twilight's demeanor has look somber-ed and confusion. Look'in up to meet her gaze once more. "I need to sort things out." Say'in it, walk up to the nearest stool and sat down, rubbing her chin. Still clutching his arm, Luna extended a hoof to now known Aeron. "Rawl ra-" Realizing that he's grunting, clearing up his throat. "I'm alright, just a little bite mark; that's all." Aeron whispered to Luna, adding. "It's great to see you too Lulu!" Smiling at the midnight mare, receiving a smile back. Fifteen minutes later Caramel stallion starts checking Aeron's injures when he gone back to a patients bed. Move'in his inflicted arm, getting a better look. He hiss. "It seem that no poison has went through your blood vessels." Doctor speak to him, as if he's not bothered by Aeron's appearance nor speaking Equestrian. "Maybe it's because of these metal inside your tissue!" Aeron node. "Yes, these high density metal are so thin that I feel no resistance to movement. Also that I'm unaffected by any poison illness." That last part, somehow, made him grin. "You don't say... That's quite impressive!" Doctor said, complete in awe. Writing over his clipboard for future reference. After he was done, Docter walk out of the room. 'Why did he leave? That can't be all!' Aeron, couldn't believe it. Doctors are suppose to give you check ups, physical exam, and other stuff. Either this guy is an impostor, an idiot who only pretends to be one, or this guy isn't good at those thing. "I'll send a nurse to finish the rest off, I have to go, gonna be late for early lunch break!" His echo finish what I thought in his head. 'Scratch that, just starving.' Minutes after. A white, earth pony with a nurse cap on, walk in. Nurse Red Heart, hear'in what others call her, giving Aeron a physical check-up. She move my right foot-paw's. Move'in every toes, as if shes playing with them like you do with a baby. Following with putting her hoof on each part of my leg, see'in if he reacts. No reaction. She move onto his none injured arm. Do'in the same thing for the arm, played around with them. This is a bit embarrassing for me. 'Please, don't make this anymore bearable.' Aeron's bridge between the temples, gave a tint of red. She walk up to a canvass, writing down everything she did. Aeron close his eyes for a mental image of myself and everypony else as human. Like a moving picture. {Aeron POV} Seeing Nurse Red Heart have bright-peach skin, white nurse outfit with a medical icon on cap. Her washed pink hair all in a bun style. But her body is what surprise me the most. Her slender body from eating healthy. Her smooth, curvy hips are like carved in a perfectly crafted sculpture. I shook my thoughts away from her and ask. "May I go now? I believe that purple unicorn; Twilight if I'm correct, wants some answers." Hear'in me bring up the purple mare, she giggle from the comment. "Your quite right. She is always filled with question's for, anything that's not been seen, her favorite categories or her favorite geography!" Turn'in around, stifling some laughter. "One time; she used a 'Want It, Need It' spell, and everypony want her Smarty Pants doll so badly, but she got a good lecture from Princess Celestia!" "HAY!" Twilight shouts, them coming back in. Everyone except Twilight start laughing, Princess Celestia laugh the hardest. Even I started to chuckle lightly. "Ha~. Did that really happen?!" Couldn't help but know-tic that Twilight is trying to hide her blush by look'in down with her mane to cover her face. I kinda feel bad for her, rub'in the back of my head, sheepishly. "Sorry." Feel'in that statement was for her, Twilight look up at me. "I-It fine... Anyway's, I have some question for you." "Can we answer them tomorrow, we're tired." Everypony look at one another, confused by my words. Just realize'in this, I chuckle, rubbing my head sheepishly. "Sorry, Luna's language got to me! What I said is, Can I answer them tomorrow, I'm exhausted from battle before." Heavy sigh, Twilight node. "Fine," Before point'in a hoof at me, barely touch'in my muzzle. "But you will answer them, and your staying at my place to make sure that happens!" Smiling at her plan of action, even I'm impressed! But, why. Why do they act like that, around me. You know, happy and cheerful! I've been trying to figure this out. Sure, I can understand if it's a species that lives in Equestria; (Heard it from Luna) and animals too (Not to offend). But, I'm not. I don't live here, I don't even know if I can be here. I guess I'll be having some questions fer Twilight tomorrow. I look up to Luna. "I guess our reunion will have to wait." I felt bad fer not talking to Luna much. "Tizz not worry, we shall chat some other time." They all walk out except for Nurse Red Heart and Twilight. Being the last one, Luna add; "Fair thee well Aeron. Until next time!" before walking away. //-------------------------------------------------------// Common Chat With a Little Twist //-------------------------------------------------------// Common Chat With a Little Twist {Aeron POV} After Register'in for my release. Twilight and I said our good-byes to Red Heart. It seems Twilight has calm down from her little embarrassment from earlier. We're heading to Twilight's home, Golden Oak Library. I didn't tell them that I've seen their world back on earth. Walk'in through Ponyville streets, many prying eyes have spotted Twilight and me. Their eyes shown weary and scarce, feel'in them tense whenever I approach. I couldn't bare to see it, shutting all senses except for hear and touch. But even that didn't keep me from my minds thoughts. Like, will they except me? Are any of the foods here good? Feel'in weary myself, I feel someone staring at me with threat intense! As if she knew what I'm think'in, Twilight started a conversation. "So~... ... What do you do? Where are you from?" She ask, save some of the important questions' for later. "Hmmm... ... Well. I'm a story writer in training. And play games..." I answer, ponder'in about my previous activity. "Writer!" She said, squeak when she lost her balance fer a sec. But her tone is, well, judging me. "Is that a problem?" I ask in curiosity, and a bit edgy. "N-N-NO! I-I I didn't mean to! I was assuming that you are a karate Instructor or security protection group, with you have'in that strengths."Twilight stated, signs of sweat slid across her face. Levitating a napkin over her head, wiped away any trace of sweats. "Well, no. My real form is actually quite weak back home, except for the Pokemon realm, since I'm a Pokemon there." "What!" Twilight yelp, felt a bit surprise. Didn't expect this biped canine has actually travel through realms. She seem to have that, eyes of wanting answers, which I'll have to disappoint. "No I'm not letting you do anything to me." I said neutrally. She did a hoof gesture that's similar to someone snapping their fingers, but somehow she made a snap sound; without fingers! I, I'm just gonna let that be an enigma. {Narrator POV} It took us an hour to get their, with a few delays on getting groceries from different vendors. We finally reach the treehouse, it's definitely look the part. It's like a house carve from the inside out in perfection. This should be impossible to do since it'll break down or might kill the tree! Pushing with her telekinetic spell, Twilight walk inside. Aeron followed afterwards, lucky that he's still the same height from before. Didn't want to get hit in the head again. Spotted a coach he just sat down, finally felt something he's familiar with! 'Hm. It feels comfy.' Feel'in an itch coming, Aeron rubbed his left arm instead. 'Rubbing is fine, just don't scratch.' Eye twitch from the sensation. 'Don't scratch, don't scratch, don't scratch, don't scratch-' Watching from afar, Twilight look at him fer a bit; and how his movements works. 'I wonder. What does he look like before? Would I see his capabilities later?... *AUGH* Oh, why did I promise to wait.' Ruffle her hair. Her thoughts are interrupted however, hear'in scraps coming down the stairs. Purple and green drake, hear'in the front door open and close, telling him that Twilight's back. He ran downstairs, meet his caretaker with a caring smile. "Welcome back! So, how did it go?" Twilight smile, glade to see her number one assistant. "It, was, crazy, Spike. I could've died... I, I-if he didn't step in and save me, I wouldn't see you again." Shiver'in, memories of being attack by a large spider, showing it's venom fang for her could have been her final moments. He didn't even get to ask before he jump in surprise! "Woah! Who's that?!" See'in the weary drake stare'in at Aeron that stood right in front of him, staring at Spike with his eyes closed. Spike raise his claws up like he's try'in to defend himself, eyes shut tight. 'Is he serious?' Aeron thought, un-amuse. Mask my un-amuse face is way, to, easy. Twilight, seeing this, she could barely able to stifle a chuckle. "Spike! *giggle* He's just want to shake your claw." Twilight explain, giggling at Spikes notion. Spike took a glance, seeing Aeron have his paw out. It took him a minute to put it together, He reach for his paw, shook it. Feel'in that it's peaceful, his body relax. "My names Spike. Twilight's number 1 assistance!" He point his now freed claw with a thumb at himself, straighten himself out to show how proud of his title. Feel'in my happy feelings return, I announce mine. "I'm Aeron Skylure. Security Soldier of the Thirteenth Court Guard, and Guardian of the Aura Knights. It's a pleasure." I took a quick bow. Their eyes widen, Twilight and Spike show signs of shock. "WHAT!" both said out loud. Tried to keep their cool, but, they fail miserably. "Your a knight! Bu-bu- but you said your a writer!" Twilight stated, shock at the inconceivable notion. I chuckle. Their expression is so like everyone else's. "Yes, but only when I'm in my world. In the Pokemon world, I'm actually a Guardian." They did answer. Spike almost look like he's gonna faint, sort-of. Twilight, however, just written down on some paper; parchmen; yeah- that's it, and look at him. "So;" Hearing Spike talk, he look at him. Little drake seem to be more excited! "Your like a super hero! Did you save damsels in distress, save somepony from a burning building or-" Spike continues to bring out every heroic deeds that comes into mind. List them all, my face shows a bit sad. Some cheered me up, but more made me feel down. I know he's a good; uh; drake, but what he's say'in got him all depress. Twilight, unlike her assistance, see's Aeron show some depression. Realizing that Spikes words was the cause, she place her hoof over Spikes mouth, mentally telling him to stop talking. Spike raise his none existence eyebrow, for only to see Twilight shook her head to Aeron. With a worried expression, he look at him. "I-I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't know." Shaken my head out of emotional stress. "I-, It's okay. I... I think I'll head to bed early." Seeing dusk fall and began the night. I walk upstairs, leave'in everybody back downstairs. Spike look at his distance body before he lost sight of him, feeling sad. Feel'in Spike's sadness, Twilight hold her assistance near her like an embrace. He look up to his care taker. "I mess up. Did I?" Eyes closed; as her head lean to his. "I don't know, Spike. I; don't; know." {Aeron POV} Quickly open'in door, entering my assigned room and shut it. "*Rowl*" Gripping my arm! Even if I'm unaffected by poison, It's infliction is actual injuries! One eye close, feel'in pain finally reached it's peak. Sluggishly get'in up and walk towards the bed. Legs feel'in weak and wobbly all the way there. Reach'in bed, I just flop on it and scream into my pillow! I rather not let others see me show signs of pain. 'I... I don't deserve their kindness." I thought, remember'in all the times he couldn't help. 'Besides... Having this; place, home, is... enough.' Feeling sleep take over from then on. If only he knew, what's really going on. {Narrator POV} 4 hours later "Aeron... What's wrong?" Luna ask. Try'in to enter to his dream. But for some reason, an unknown force keeps her from helping him. Luna was only doing her nightly duties, Raising the moon and cheeking on everyponies dreams for any nightmares. After she finish her routine and getting ready for her night watch, she felt some-thin. Luna knew right away it was Aeron and went to the realm of dreams. To her shock, she couldn't get in! "Why..." Her eyes wavers, a twinge of sadness and fear. "Why won't you let me in? Aeron, it's ME! Luna. Can you hear me!" "Aeron, AERON, AERON!!!" To Be Continue... //-------------------------------------------------------// Luna's Sorrow (Part 1) //-------------------------------------------------------// Luna's Sorrow (Part 1) It was still nightfall. Crickets chirping with every passing moment on every quiet night. Animals are sleeping, soundly as they are. Few ponies in their comfy home, tucking their young foal's to bed. Snuggling tightly for the up coming dream land with a smile. Their parents following suite, sleeping peacefully. One, however, has stood awake for hours on ends. Looking frantically, search'in for her friend. Fly'in around Ponyville, Luna search for Twilight's home fer an hour. Last time she was here during Nightmare Night, she didn't get a good look around. With ponies running in fear from mere sight of her, which turns out to be a miss-understanding. With Pinkie Pie as the problem fer every action she did, and Rainbow Dash too. Wow, she really didn't get to look around much. "Oh~, Where are you?" With a wailing voice of worry. "This would have been easier if Aeron just stay with we; I mean me; instead." She has gotten more better in her modern language; but still has problems here and there; nut she'll learn. She past Town Hall, she spot a certain pony she knew very well. A well known pink pony with cotton-candy like mane and tail, bounce-skip'in her way to a house made out of a tree, whole in all. 'Out of all ponies up, it had to be Scream Alarm... no, that's not it. Her name was, hm~... Oh; that's right! It's Pinkie Pie.' Feel'in hope flow through her, Luna glide gently down at Pinkie. Just encase if she does a repeat of Nightmare Night. Hear'in flapping, Pinkie turn at the owner. Seen Luna descend, she has a big grin of joy. "Hi their Princess! Are you here for Sugercube Corner's Delicious cupcakes, or some scrumptious bake goods! Or maybe your here for a visit!" Jumping as if shes a filly again, only with less hyper active. "It is. I'm looking for Twilight Sparkles residence. Do you know the way?" Pink mare bobbles her head a bit for yes. "Yup, I know where it is. Why?" Luna wipes her forehead, sigh of relief. Immediately gone out panic, instantly ran up to Pinkie and hold her in place. Her eyes can tell Luna is worried. "Pinkie Pie, I need you to lead me their to Aeron immediately. It tizz thee up-most important!" "O-key dokey lokey!" After say'in that, they walk along to Golden Oak Library with Pinkie tow up-front. In Golden Oak Library Twilight was writing in her room, Spike has fell asleep early in his bed-basket. Her eyes all dark purple, tired from exhaustion of over working. Rubbing her temples from an annoying migraine, sigh'in. "I can't send a report on Aeron with no information. And that spider from earlier isn't help'in either!" Scuffling her mane in frustration, then sigh. 'Well, no point in make'in things worse.' She stack her papers and parchment's together in her magic, quills' fell gently down to it's side in a perfect pattern. A knock on the door came in rapid knocks, she grumble. "Who would be up this late at night?!" Twilight said, trotting down stairs to answer the door. 'This better not be Pinkies prank again. I had to wash all that batter off of me, twice.' Opening the door that reveal the party pony, 'OH NO, no more surprise!' and the midnight princess! "Oh, Princess Luna!" Without hesitation, Luna just ran up the stairs with a short "Hello!". Pinkie just bounce her way up the stairs after her. "Hi Twilight! How you do'in?" Pinkie Pie ask cheerfully. See'in Twilight walk along side her. Twilight stare ahead before asking. "Hey Pinkie. Why are you and Princess Luna are together? And~ what with her running up the stairs?" It was a very good point. Princess Luna, the one who raise and lowers the moon, and princess of the night, running around frighten. Pink mare only shrug, "Beats me. She ask if I'd show her to your house." grin as she always does. "But why?" "She said something about Aeron might be trap in a dream!" Pinkie explain the rest. When explanation end, they manage to reach Aeron's bedroom. To explain on whats happening in the room, bad news. Aeron was on the floor, twitch'in in and out from every part of his being, more on his left paw! Luna trot around in total panic, search'in for some-thin'. Seeing purple mare, she turn and said. "Twilight, I need you to go find a doctor and brought here for a home emergency as fast as you can!" Swiftly look at Pinkie. "And I need you to go and get the Bearers of Harmony here right away." midnight mare light up her horn in light blue glow, struggling to lift the squirming canine on top of the bad. "Why?" Twilight quickly ask in worry. Couldn't understand on whats going on. "I'll brief on all of you later, now hurry! *URGH*!" Luna hastily said before feeling her hold gotten more harder then before. Grunting from fight'in off the resistance, and wail. "HURRY!" Jump from Luna's raised voice and both booked out of their. Eighteen Minutes Later "Why'd ya wake us up for. The suns not out." Orange mare ask; rubbing her eyes of sleep gunk. "Quite right dear. It's too early to get up. And I need my beauty sleep!" White unicorn mare complain. "Yeah!... ... I mean the sleep'in thing." Rainbow mane pegasi state, correcting herself. Sluggishly fly'in near ground level. Pink mane pegasi node, lightly yawn quietly that sound so cute like. Pinkie Pie answered their thoughts. "Princess Luna wants us at the library as fast as we could." "Did Discord got loose!" Rainbow mane mare said. Pinkie didn't get to finish, she spot Twilight and Nurse Red Heart take'in the same path and so meet up with each other. "Is everyone here?" Twilight ask. Pinkie node, "Yupe! Were all here." then went running until they reach Golden Oak Library. As they past the door to Aerons room, they saw Luna struggling from so much strain in her magic. As for Aeron, his eyes show signs of out of control as his body started to stand up. Luna pour more magic for every pressure he sends out. Placing them in a stand still. The midnight princess felt eyes upon themselves, turn her eyes to while casting said spell. "Tis good to see you all." Release another amount of magic after feeling another pulse. "We don't have much time!" "What's going on?!" Twilight ask for answer. Luna hesitated for a bit, not sure of telling them the truth is a good idea. If things go's wrong then- "Princess," Twilight call, taking a step forward. "Is their something a matter?" She stumble on her words, really wish not to tell them, or anypony for a matter. "It's about our past... a-and~." Luna could barely make a proper statement, as she spoke. "And what would that be?" A sudden voice come out of no-where has spook the day light out of them! Standing near the door is to royal guards and the princess of the sun, Celestia! Her face all stern with a hard glare at her sister, wanting to know the truth. "SISTER!" Luna wail in surprise. "I-I I was, just..." "Just, what? What is it that you didn't tell me?" Celestia walk closer, seen Aeron got tired and fell unconscious in bed. Seen him stop moving around, Nurse Red Heart trot up to him. Opening her bag that carry her medical tools. Red Heart look frantically when she saw his left arm. It's all purple and green stain all over it. Follow'in on where it leads to, she saw a small gash that can easily be miss on his neck. "It would seem he's been poisoned. Some sort of needle hit his vains, but not to worry. I'll clear it up in a jiff!" Everyone sigh in relief, except for the two sisters. "But I still don't know why he started to go wild!" Red Heart said, conflicted on the details. After here'in this, Luna fidget from just the word 'wild'. Celestia see's this, look concern. "Please, tell me what's wrong. If what she said has something to do with this; please tell me." Luna shivered, still unsure. "I want to help you. We all want to help." "I... I... I'm sorry. I should have told you, I should have." Her voice crock, her face became somber. "But Aeron made me promise not to tell anyone." Luna apologies for misleading, she teared up. "*Sniffle* But. Now..." Feel'in an emotion that hasn't been their for a long, long time. Betrayal. "I can't take it anymore it's too much to bare!" Luna scream out, not out of anger; but sorrow. "How Aeron go's out of control. I-, it's because of me. It's was ME! I'm the one who cause this~!" She look down in shame, crying. Everypony shock by that proclamation. Luna, princess of the night, protector of dreams, and their new friend, cause somepony to go crazy! Celestia's was the one who ask; her confusion needed to be answered. "What are you talking about? How could you be the cause?" "*Sniffle* It would be easier to show you." As she spoke, Luna's horn glows in a light blue aura. Their in plain sight is a large square hovering in the same aura, playing a seen of a younger Luna and a younger canine like Aeron. They were on opposite sides of some castle courtyard that looks similar to Canterlot castle. They stare at the display, watching whats about to happen. Nurse Red Heart stop after her treatment on said canine and watch the seen in play. //-------------------------------------------------------// Luna's Sorrow (Part 2) //-------------------------------------------------------// Luna's Sorrow (Part 2) Young Luna shout at younger Aeron, her light-blue mane flow in a cam breeze! "Why wont thou understand we! Can't thou see, if we find children's that has been abandon or suffer from abuse back to our land, where everypony can be supportive and happy! So tell we, why can't we!" Eye's stern, hard as steel in all her glory. Aeron stomp on the ground in frustration, eyes waver-n in confusion and weary of the idea! "But, just taking them away from their homes- who are already happy- is insane. You have to control yourself before you do something that you'll definitely regret!" Aeron walk forward, try'in to reason with Luna. However, Luna stomp on the ground kept him from moving any further. "We've not been blind by our choice, It is thou! Thou love the night, so why don't thou understand?" "Loving the night and understanding are two different things! I just don't want you to lose yourself in jealousy, power, anger or anything!" Aeron felt his paw shook in frustration but push it back in. "I can image that you'll be a danger to your fellow ponies if you keep following this course! Please just-" He was cut off from an immediate shoot from a magical beam hit my right shoulder, eyes shook. He scream; "AAAHHHH~!" his right arm gone numb and unable to move it. Luna's horn was glowing for a bit before dissipating, her face gone completely stern. "We thought our friends is real. We guess, thou was just imagining it." She walk away. Everypony who's been watching this, either gasp in shock or surprise, or they glance at Luna for answer. They couldn't believe that Luna, the Princess of the night, has hurt another creature that could have killed her. Luna turn her head away in embarrassment, half her face covered in shade. Eyes glisten in hurtful plague. Twilight squeak as she spoke. "Wha, Why would you do that!!!" That's what the mane six had in mind. She stayed silence, didn't know what to say or do, for she doesn't know either. Without any answers, everypony went back watching the events. Head lowered, cast a shadow over his eye's. Veg view of his face, Aeron's eye's went shallow. Gritting his teeth, his canine teeth's gone sharp, a bit longer. Not knowing that it occur. "W-w-w-w-w-Why, why Lu-" "Don't call us that!" Luna stop without turn around as she shout. "Thou shall never call we Lulu anymore, from now on, thou will call us Princess Luna." Luna starts to use her Royal Canterlot Voice with her emotional shriek. Aeron look up, eye's glisten in wet substance, tried to hold back his tears. "You, you can't be; s- serious. I-I-I thought-" "Guess what, thou thought wrong!" Luna spoke out in mid-sentence, her voice felt like it spits venom. "Thou have far known from thy truth. All thou've spoken about is our imagined future, made-up in thou'r mind." "But; *Sniff* Lulu-" Aeron could barely able to hold it back much longer. "We told thou to never call us by thy name again you cult of light. Thou're noth'in but a MONSTER!" That word, that word, 'monster', is all that take; to hit that nail to break an ice. Heart break that sounded like something shattered from a stain glass window! 'but, I...' Looking down, face shaded, feeling an emotion that hasn't risen for so long. Malice! All she did is just argue about the stupidest things ever. An all to familiar echoed voice speak through my mind. 'Come on, do it! We know you want to!' His consciousness tell him. Tempted to harm her so badly, that's what it wants. 'She never listen to you when you needed closure. But when she wants closure; you just gave her what she want. Now that I think about it, she never did treat you like equals!' 'I'll, I'll convince her. She'll change her mind.' I thought, telling it to leave me be. His left arm move and glows in a brick color. "I'm only giving you one last chance. Stop this notion before it's to late." Aeron raise his glowing paw above and behind him. '... Please don't make me.' "Thou can't harm we, if thou do wish to; then thou're declare war on Equestria." Luna said in authority. "And it's not thou're concern. Now that we think about it." Place'in a hoof over her chin in thought. 'SEE! She would never see's to reason. By the time we get her back home, she'll due away with you... It's high time you realize that and do something about it.' Aeron's mind wavers for a while. Didn't want to admit it, but, it's right. 'NOW!!!' Seeing hesitation, it took it's chance and snatch his control. Startling Aeron and even anger him! '*Rrg* Let me OUT!' Aeron demand, completely caught by surprise! I felt like I'm in a cage with cold, hard metal bars. It cackle. 'HA-HA-HA-HA HAH, not a chance. From here on out. We're in charge! So just sit back and watch the expert deal with this!' Aeron said something but didn't listen to him. 'We'll use that Syringe true POWER!' She turn around, seen what transpired. Luna saw his paw glow, knew that he was raising it through their conversation. But she didn't count on how his face now shown a serious, but sinister feelings in his face. Before she knew it, Luna got hit across the face from a 'Power-Up Punch' and got kneed on the shoulder with so much force that cause her to fall on the ground a few meters away. Cough from air flow valve, did her very best to clear her throat. 'Wha-what! Why that little-' Luna felt so much anger that she fire random spells at him. He ignore the shots and ran in. Not show'in any pain or twitch from him, Luna felt somethings wrong! 'Wha! Why isn't he shown any signs of pain! What did, we-" As she come to conclusion, she remember on what she said. (Thou're noth'in but a MONSTER!) 'OH, oh no, oh no no no no! Don't tell us-' She realize Aeron is right in front of her. His paw was encase in a dark, purple haze that's in a shape of a claw 'Shadow Claw' and swung down. Midnight mare teleport with a *pop*. He looked around, frantically look'in for Luna with his shaded-red eyes', preparing for any tricks the midnight mare may bring. *Pop* A few distance away; stood Luna. 'That's definitely not his at all!!' "*ROWL RAAA*" Aeron didn't say any words, except for growls. He ran up in high speed and swung; Luna moved away just in time. 'Nut's I miss.' In the back of it's mind, Aeron sigh in relief. 'I'll get her this time.' They kept this up for half an hour, neither gave the other a chance to hit. During all this, Aerons aura is slowly turning from lightning-blue to black and purple! As it end, everywhere that they stood created dust-cloud, covering the whole place. Barely able to see anything from collective dust, Luna waited. Started to clear, she squint for a better look. About two or three minutes, everything clear up. What she saw gave her body shiver in fright. Last thing she saw, is a body of darkness with aquamarine eyes. This is gonna be bad... What the girls saw was not an ordinarily occurrence. They haven't seen this before, but Celestia have. She has seen her sister, Luna, have experience this once before. During the time of the old, Luna was felt unappreciated for her lovely night to be ignored. They sleep through her nights for so long, jealousy rose in herself, which leads to frustration; to anger. Her anger only makes her hate Celestia's bright sunlight and want her night to have that love. When she turn into; "Nightmare Moon!" Celestia said sternly, as the image ended, dispersed. "Yes. It was me. I was the one who caused it." Luna stated, still look'in down from it all. "If only I could take it all back." Feel'in her sister gone from happy to sad is unbearable. Celestia walk over to Luna's side; embraced her sister with a wing. "If you felt that much about it, then go and tell him. Tell him how hard you must have felt, maybe he has forgiven you." Luna shock her head. "He would never forgive me. If; *Sniff* if I didn't did what I did, none of it would," she tear up. A calm voice spoke out from behind; "It's not your fault Lulu." causing Luna to shiver when swiftly turn around. Seen Aeron sitting up on the beds edge more close to her. His left arm rapt in white bandages, his neck gain the same treatment. Standing up now and walk over to Luna. "B-but Aeron, this was my fault. If I didn't hurt your feeling back then and didn't listen to your warning, none of it would've-" She didn't finish as she got slap in the face, starting her! Aeron held his paw to his left from slapping Luna. Everyone in the room was surprise and felt a bit mad, seen their friend got hit from someone that they don't even know. Night guard's free from their shock before flying over to arrest Aeron, for only Celestia to raise a hoof. Luna shook'in form is hard to bare for the girls, Rainbow felt frustrated. "That's it, no more mister nice guy! I'm gonna pound that guy so hard-" she gone silenced by Princess Celestia's hoof. "But Princess-" Applejack speak before she was interrupted. "This is between them, Applejack. They have hold on to these long and tedious feeling that they held back. Plus, you'll might learn something from this." Twilight seem to not understand what she meant by that, but did as her mentor said. "Snap out of it Luna!" Luna look up Aeron, seeing his eyes filled with sad and remorse. Before turning to concern. But thought to try and break the bad vibe. "Your not who you are anymore, your the Knight of Dreams, Princess of the Night... and One who would make a very soft teadybear!" Try'in to process what he said was accurate. She hasn't been act'in like herself earlier and back then too. She does protect everyponies dreams from harmful nightmares, young foals happy dreams was all worth it! Even their smiling faces was enough to warm her heart! She definitely knows that shes the one that carves her night in all it's beauty, and raising the moon was easy as hiding Celestia's Chocolate Chip Cake with both vanilla and chocolate frosting! Yeah; even being a soft, squeezing teady bear was all. Wait! "HAY! You vow to never speak of that again!" Luna's face flustered at hear'in some of her guards stifle a laughter. On lookers hold their laughter either. "I had my paws cross! Besides, If you didn't cover me up with your warm coat body in that cold night. I... I would, have. died, in... storm." Aeron counter her accusation; his voice gone low and drowsy. His body a bit wobbly, Aeron starts to fall; Luna had a short gasp before catching him in mid-fall. Luna called out; "Aeron! Aeron, wake up!" with no answer. Nurse Redheart check his head before hear'in him breathing in a nice pattern. Sigh in relief. "It'll be alright. He just exhausted from over exertion." Luna let out a breath that she didn't knew. "It was a false alarm. So why don't we return back to our homes for well worth rest!" Celestia said before walk'in away. After everyone walk away, Twilight levitated Aeron back to bed. Turning the lights off before head'in to her own. She thought about what her mentor said earlier. 'I think I get it... I guess.' "So sister," The older princess wanted to ask something. "What are you two to one another? Back then; I mean." Luna haven't quite understand what her sister is implying, but answered anyways. "Well, we were acquaintances at first, but we became more; what was the term, friends! A-and that's it!" She look away in her last word; cheeks turn red. Celestia wants to push on for more stuff but another matter has to come first. so she decide to hold that another time, all that matters is her sister is being more happier then ever! 'I wonder what other surprises will happen next.' After every pony has gone back to sleep, even Luna from exhaustion. Portals have appear in many places all at once, and spewing things out before they close up. Everyone in Equestria is gonna be in a one heck of a ride! //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 1) //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 1) Chirps come and go into Aeron's canine ears, hear'in a nice tune is truly a bliss. Sunlight past through glass doors make contact with his own skin feels a bit warm, telling him to get up. Did he listen to it? Nope. He's not a morning per- Pokemon, this is gonna get annoying. Anyway... His room door open that revealed Twilight Sparkle's and her assistance Spike, look'in at Aeron's sleep'in form. Walked up to Aeron's bed side with Spike hold'in up a tambourines. She grin. "He think's he can sleep more then a week; well think again! You already past a week and it's now time for a~" She node to Spike which smile and raise the two round instrument, and rapidly bang them together in loud succession. Aeron jump into the air and stand on the bed in a his fighting stance, in high alert! Spike stop after see'in him jump up. "Where'stheattacker!" He quickly said. eyes look in fast pace and ears swirl for listening to any sounds. Spike just fell on his back laughing, getting the attention of the biped canine. Looks of irritation shows; "Very funny." Aeron grumble. "I'll get you back for that." "Now then, It's time for you to get up. It's time for breakfast." Twilight cheerfully said. Walk'in down stairs; Spike followed suit. He want to say something, but no words come to mind. For that; he'll just got ready. Jump off the bad, begin'in to stretch. Few stretches later, Aeron walk out; closing the door behind. Walk'in down the steps hearing screams' in panic, hasten his step. Getting to the bottom reveals the front door open with Twilight Sparkle and Spike standing outside. As he thought, a scream that matches a child's voice within earshot! Ran up to said door to get a better view. Seen a young filly that's been hold by a Mega Banette's claw, struggle'in. 'Why, oh why; does it have to be a Ghost-type.' He grumble, ended with concentration on the task at hand. Every pony shivered from the mere sight of doll-possess pokemon, quickly stayed away. Filly has a two tone pale purple mane with a white coat and shes a unicorn with emerald-colored eyes. Her face shows fear and fright, not able to escape from it's purple claws. "Help me!" A mere feet away from my sight is Rarity in horror. Aeron walk towards Mega Banette in a calm manner; feel'in he should negotiate with it.'Maybe it's confuse or something.' He thought. Twilight and Spike unsure of getting close to it was such a good idea. It know-tic him as did the civilians, Six feet away, Aeron stop. They fear that I'll harm the poor filly too. It stammered, then raise it's claws up to the foal's neck; cause her hooves to shake from being killed. "Baaannette! Ban ban net." It said. Keeping it's claws up the innocent fillies neck a bit more. It's a wild pokemon. 'Great, no point in negotiating with it. Plan B then.' Putting plan into action, closing his eyes and focus. 'It's only for a second but, it'll work... Transfer touch and taste to my mental mind. Place all powers to one point.' Doing a few adjustments, carefully did a double check for any errors. "LET MY SISTER GO YOU FOUL MONSTER!" Rarity shouted. Look like she was ready to hit it with that rolled up fabric within her magics aura. But one pony hold her their; Applejack. "Whoa their partner! As much as I wan't ta beat the daylight's out of it, we need ta think thing's through and fin a safe way ta get her out a there." Applejack tried to coax rarity out of her rage. Twilight heard what's happening and thought to herself. 'Please be okay Sweety Bell.' She wished, expect'in Celestia to save the day. Every single pony felt in danger and they want to panic and run away. But couldn't for theirs another one there, so they stood there for luck that they wont go after them. Aeron waited long enough and ready for action. Raised his paw upfront and swung his paw back to his side, like if he's swinging a sword. Before long a surge of power instantly hit Mega Banette which drop Sweety Bell! It flew back at least twelve feet from her, spitting out it's name in a scream manner. Mean while Aeron snatch Sweety Bell in mid-fall and placed her with Rarity and Applejack; flabbergasted. Before it can slow down, Aeron turn around; 'Quick Attack.' and dash at it with white streak follow suit. Sweety Bell jump and hug her sister out surprise and fright, Rarity snap out of her confusing and felt her younger sister squeeze her white leg. She sees her sisters face in that state, she wants to comfort her. "It'll be alright, I'm here to help." She brush her mane in calming her down. Mean time, Aeron hit the wild pokemon with his head. If it hurts him, then peace man. Recoil from his attack, Mega Banette recovered and swung with 'Shadow Claw' and got a hit well, sending him back a bit. Took him a bit before lift'in himself up, cut mark on his face that got haze seeping out from M.Banette's move. Try'in to keep his cool, Aeron's paw point at it and several lightning-blue auras' that in a shape of a swords; circling it a bit before say'in in his mind; 'Sword Pike' and they thrust a it and pierce through it. It scream from the immense pain, staggered. If it's in pain now then wait for what happens next. Aeron pull out a bone that's long enough to be a pole and held it from the bottom with both paws, have the other end point forwards like his gonna thrust. Ran up to it but not close enough for what he plans, commanded; 'Explode!' and the swords that's punctured it DID explode in small but yet strong portion. Waited for the last one to past, Aeron raise his now held weapon over him and put more strength into it. For only M.Banette to Recover in mid-air and shot a dark purple sphere at him. Explode in contact and send him flying, dropping his bone. Aeron crash into the library out side walls, gasp'in from complete shock and his immense pain. 'H-how did I not see that coming!' Before he can even fall to the floor, it appear upfront and swipe with another 'Shadow Claw' and slam him with it's bald up fist to the ground. From a mere impact with enough force cause him to spit out mixtures of saliva and blood. Before he knew it; a barrage of M.Banette's claws swipe at him with no interference. Twilight couldn't believe what's been happening. Seeing Aeron get beaten up badly and couldn't believe even that! 'I thought you said 'your a Knight of the thirteenth court guard'. Where is it?!' Twilight can't believe that all those thing he said, all that boasting, is nothing more then just words. Fall'in to the ground on his knees, before slump down to the ground completely. Struggle'in to his legs for him to fall to the ground before he can even mustered enough strength. See'in this, Mega Banette's just laugh at how pathetic his appearance. Spike was think'in the same thing as Twilight did. He look up to him as a hero, and now he's be'in beaten up. 'Come on. Wheres that cool powers you've been taking about.' During his time with Aeron in his room, since he couldn't go move'in around with his still ill form. Turn's out he got sick from the night weeks ago. Anyways, he's been telling the young drake about some stuffs like his powers and his adventures with Luna. Spike had listen in awe and amazement, he even called him a hero! However, he stop at a certain words Aeron told about. {Flashback} Spike: "That's so amazing! Can you show me these super powers?!" Aeron: "I could, be I need someone to grant me true strength." Spike: "Applejack and Rainbow Dash can show you some tricks on that!" Aeron: "*laugh* Not that kind! What made them stronger, like Luna's magic or the girls friendships! But if that's it then I need to be there true friends, not just saying that and shove it off kinds." Spike: "Oh! Well; you can count me in! We can be the 'Friendship Duo'!" {Flashback End} Eye's widen; "That's it!" realization finally came and look at Twilight, nudge her leg to get her attention. Twilight look down to him, worried. "What is it Spike?" "His power, he need's you power of friendship!" Twilight roll her eyes. "Spike, we can't keep using the Element's of Harmony whenever we want." Now it's Spike's turn to roll his eyes. "Not that! The friendship as in the ties of your friends. You can give him the strength, just like how you did with the Elements!" She can't compute. Think'in that this is not possible and wanted to retort, but couldn't. Can't think on what to say, everything the little drake said sounds impossible; but yet possible. If she can use the Element's of Harmony with her bonds with her friends, then, she can do this too. Aeron fall'in form is unbearable for her, even Twilight's friends was watch'in this the entire time and they can't bare it either. But what can she do to help, she's no fighter; and this is a fight. Applejack's yelled. "Ah, can't take this any more!" Hear'in wings flap'in above her, she look up and spotted her rainbow mane friend flying in the fight. See'in this, she too ran in to help. Rarity sees this, completely baffled on helping her sister, or her friends? Her sister still shiver'in; but watching thins transpire. She sees Pinkie Pie scampered to help with Fluttershy in tow; literately! She has her mouth clasp on the shy mare's tail as she drag across the floor. Sweety Bell felt her sister's confusion and ask in a sweet voice. "Why aren't you going too?" If her looks can slay the heart, her adorableness and cuteness can over melt it. "I want to comfort you." "But they need you now then ever. I, I don't know why;" Look'in down as her hooves place over her chest where the heart should be. "but, my heart tells me too." Smile'in at her little sister with so much glee. If she said something like that, then, she has to. Rarity's face stern, ran as fast as a proper lady should to her friends, and Sweety Bell smile inward. Twilight watch this transpired, understanding on what they are going to do. Even if they can't do anything, but they want to help, no matter how bleak it is. 'I guess," placed her hooves over her chest; as if it's talking to her in a mental level. 'Friendship come's, in many form's!' After about a mere moment, she ran with something new she learn. Mega Banette's claws to one side and create a dark purple sphere that's growing to a size of a carriage! Snickering with so much passion that it's poisoned. Reeling it back and slung it at Aeron. Couldn't move his legs, his arm's are a bit sluggishly on the floor. One eye still open for him to see an incoming large 'Shadow Ball'. 'I guess;' closed his eye, not want to see his end. 'This is where I can repent.' Aeron thought his final verse before he pass on. To be Continued... //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 2) //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 2) {Aeron POV} See an incoming 'Shadow Ball' to his last strength. For once, he can't beat someone else. Ready to accept his fate, eyes closed for his end. It would appear, fate has something else in mind. After wait'in for it to come, all for naught. For the dark sphere's attempt to obliterate him, has not come. No explosion, no pain, no numbness... nothing. Would've expected for some torn limbs and complete trauma- or something. Voice spoke up. "Are you alright?" "Twi, another shot com'in!" Another voice shouted. "I know! Rainbow Dash- stop!" "No way. If this thing hurts our friend, then I'm gonna pound it to the ground and send it to the moon." Registered as Rainbow Dash said with a flare of frustration. A swoosh one minute, BONK and~ a bonk later... she fail to hit it didn't she? "I knew that wouldn't work but she didn't listen." Voice that I assume is Twilight whispered; and sigh. My eyes open half way. See a purple hooves in my sight and a pink barrier in ta-boot. If theirs anything else it would be my stress muscle and bruises every where. And I'm sick and tired of getting beaten up for the whole time I was here. My head raise to see her look disappointed at Rainbows attempted of hitting Mega Banette. If I have to guess, Rainbow must have flew right through it. "GIRLS, stay in the barrier or those spells would hit you too! You too Rainbow." At the mere mention of the colorful mare; just salute and dash back in the known shield. "How are we suppose to defeat this thing?" That sounds like Rarity. "May be we ask it nicely." A quite girl speak is low but I heard it. 'What!' I thought in surprise. Are they fighting the ghost pokemon on their own! But they CAN'T! I have to tell them! 'RUN!' I telepathically said to them. They jump from that unexpected voice before realizing that it's my voice. Everyone except for Twilight; -(Since she has to focus on the shield)- is looking at you with wide eyes. I continued. 'Your attack won't work on ghost pokemon.' "G-g-g-ghost!" The shy mare; Fluttershy if I recall- shiver to the bone from the word 'ghost'. "Wait ta minute;" Applejack point a hoof to the assault attacker. "That THING; is a Pokemon!" She accusing. She isn't the only one. "That horrendous, creepy looking, monster, is a Pokemon!" That must have been Rarity talking. Okay, there needs to be a correction on what she just said. 'Okay; One: That is a Pokemon. Second: We are monsters.' I stated. "But-" Interrupt her as I continue. "Our species are actually called 'Pocket Monster'; but they shorten it as Pokemon from the two words." I voice with my mouth this time, breathing a bit better. Tried to lift myself up for only to fall back down. "As I said;" grunt from stressful muscle. "Your attacks won't work." {Narrator POV} Twilight was listening to Aeron; but haven't show any response for her barrier to take another shot, hisses from the immense pond to her magical connection. 'Ghost. Huh! That make sense now. Why you aren't using your paw or lag's to hit it full on. But if that's a Pokemon, then... Wait-' She turn her head to Aeron; still holding on to her barrier spell. "Then how did Princess Luna do it?" Aeron answer. "Well... She has the power to touch them because she; can." He shrug, not really understand how she does it. "But she call for my help mostly." It would seems that he didn't give her any good news as she sigh and groan. "Is their anything we can use?" Twilight whines. "I can only say that you can't use anything that concerns Normal or Grou-" He pause, think'in. 'I had an idea, but, can she do it?' "Their may be away... But can you do it?" Twilight node, not knowing what it is, but willing to do it if it'll protect everypony. "Then come here." Twilight wonder and curiosity on what Aeron have to say. She slowly move towards him cautiously, try'in to keep the spell and concentration from sever'in. "Closer." She was very close to Aeron that's in his private bubble, he lean closer up to her ears and whispered for only her to hear. "Sorry about this." Aeron said. She could understand on what- He's canine teeth shown; 'wait those aren't-' and bite her on the lip. Twilight's mouth on his like they where kissing, but it's not. small drip of red liquid fell from Twilight's muzzle and she knows it. Soft sip, as Twilight felt her blood and saliva being suck into him and that's scaring her. 'No no no no nononono this can't be! Is he a Vampire!' Her fright ended as their lips depart, Aeron rub his mouth. Twilight step back and touch her mouth and pull away to see her blood. Eyes shiver from complete shock! Their is a mixture of shock, scare, and anger. "Why'd ya do that!" Applejack shout in frustration. "Maybe he's working with that monster in undercover. And-" Rainbow Dash yell in accuse, but it's interrupted by Luna fly past them out of no where and hit Aeron in the head. "What the!" "OWCH!" Aeron yelp from princess of the night's hoof smack. "If thou wish to call us then tell sir Spike to send a letter instead of 'Blood Shock' from my sisters student!" Luna shout in a Royal Canterlot Voice in annoyance. Everyone went silence, but the Mega Banette didn't wait as it fire another round of 'Shadow Ball'. Getting Twilight's attention and got back to her spell. Her mouth hurts from Aeron's bite, hiss'in and augh from the tiny pain. "Why are you here princess?!" She ask as best she could. She look at her sisters pupil. "Aeron sent a letter; tried to get my attention. I'll explain later." Luna look around, seeing the situation at hoof. Her eyes stop at the ghost pokemon and smirk at Aeron. "You need help from this possess doll Pokemon?" Aeron node, making Spike shock that his number one pal is asking for help! "Then stand up and show these ponies what a real trainer can do!" He slowly rose up sluggishly at first before he lost all strain, stood up tall and strong, surprise every pony except for Luna. He walk up to Luna side and took his stance. He shows a face that no pony has seen him have. Face that shows his serious, calm and ready to have a fun time. Ponies look at the creepy Pokemon and it's face shows the same. Luna raise a hoof before commanding. "Aeron, use 'Metal Claw'." Both of Aeron's paw has grown large metallic claws that shimmers in the light. He ran towards M.Banette which though to fight claw with claw as it use 'Shadow Claw'. It swung first, but only hit air as Aeron front-flip over it and swung behind the back. It screech from the hit before another swing came in and screech once more. It tried to slash again with it's already sinister purple claw. Aeron put both paws that turn to normal together and pull as another light orange aura shape bone like before and guard in a standstill. "Use 'Dragon Pulse'." Luna call out. Fluttershy shiver from the word, hid behind Rainbow Dash which was standing. Without look'in back, he node to her. Aeron push it back with his bone shape aura which disappear for his next move. Right paw swung back, release'in a azure flame aura. Using his right paw that's behind it, and jab forward. a stream of Azure beam that's made out of fire with a spiral ring following along. Mega Banette wasn't fast in long shot and got hit, wailing in pain. 'Don't lose sight of any movement.' Aeron thought. Without Luna's command, he ran up to it. Place both his paws together and pull out a different bone. Instead of light orange is a lightning blue with a see through bone! 'Bone Rush' And instead of just one; it's two for each paw, that's held to his sides. He swung in a high speed combo with him changing between a pole to twin swords. and end with an x-shape over-cut. This keep repeating a couple more from Aeron using either 'Metal Claw' or 'Dragon Pulse', he even use 'Protect' that created a temporary shield- which surprise Twilight must I add- before either of them stop to take a breather. Aeron breath heavily with a bit more vigor, Mega Banette breathe has more harder- from his previous injuries. Everypony watch with dying breath from this astounding fight. "Princess Luna is controlling that creature with ease!" One pony that spectator said in astonish. "Shes amazing." Another pony said. "But it didn't wait for a command earlier." "Maybe it's not fully tame yet." M.Banette look around, searching for a way out. Found that it can go through the forest, it made a break for it. Luna saw this. "Don't let it escape." Aeron, didn't move, shook his head. "Theirs no point in following it." Twilight retorted. "WHY?-" Aeron look at her before saying. "We can't keep a creature in a cage, otherwise; we'd be showing any other Pokemons that we're pochures. Do you want them to be hostile?" Luna and Twilight open their mouth to respond for only to close them, He was right. If their are any others nearby and see them put it in a cage; they will definitely attack any pony. They sigh and node. "It's best for the Princess to announce their existence, Luna should tell Princess Celestia about them Pokemons. And I'll keep my promise to you Twilight for a Q&A questioner!" Seeing Twilights face beam with excitement. 'This is going to be a long day and I step on a mine.' Aeron thought. Author's Note Sorry readers, I've been planing a few things for this chapter but has went weird. But hope you still like it. Anyways, I forgot to explain the moves you all reading like 'Aura Pike' and 'Blood Shock'. I'll explain. 'Aura Pike' is just a mixture of Lucario aura to give Sword Dance more physical form instead of a buff with Teleport and Psychic in addition for moving them around or surround the target. And 'Blood Shock' is like sending a message by channeling your thought's you wan't to send by using blood. (It only send's letters to Luna only.) //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 3) //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 3) As Celestia's sun still above their head, They walk inside the Golden Oak Library for their Q&A session, while Luna calm's every folk's that heard the event. She took Aerons suggestion on announcement and flew off back to Canterlot for the preparation. Twilight frantically ran up to her room and grab any utensil's, scroll's, and parchment's too. "OH~! This is so EXCITING!" Her enthusiasm is height'n. Running downstairs with everything levitated in her magic. She has more spring in her step's as she came to the library section, Aeron; five mares; and one drake waited patient for her. "Okay! Let's start. So~... I'll go first." She went stern and stare at the canine. "Why did that creature attack us and taken Sweety Bell as captive?" He thought this question for a bit before looking at Sweety Bell. Which gave him a shy expression, hide behind her sister; Rarity. "Rarity, may I ask your sister something?" Rarity look at her sister as did she; looked at me before nodding. Her sister shrank back more from her okay being near her. He got up and got closer and sees Sweety tried her best to move back for only to stop when she can't got any further. He kneel down to be lower to her level, chair made her a bit taller then him. "It's alright, I'm not gonna hurt you. I just have a question." He wait for any signs of her approval. Sweety was thoughtful for a bit before shack-ly nod, still a bit fright of him. "Okay! have you thrown away a doll a couple of day's ago?" He's, ask'in her, about a doll. "Um nahwt ta be a stick in a mud. But what does that there have ta do with Twi's question?" Applejack ask. That's true, why does that matter? And that must be on everyone's mind. He heard what AJ said and said without turning to her. "It does have something to do about it." Young filly notice that he's still waiting for her response. "I... had a doll... but, Diamond Tiara. She made fun-of-me for having a doll that's for babies. So, I just threw it away so I can prove that I'm not a baby!" Sweety Bell said. Then change to confusion. "Why?" Sigh of depress, not shown in expression though. "That Pokemon, that I fought... That your doll." As those word being received to everyone that's inside, Luna came back while everyone was thinking and sat down next to mine. Sweety Bell took everyones thought's in one word. "WHAT!!!" That volume can match close to the Royal Canterlot Voice, almost. "That's impossible! No magic can conjure a doll to life, not without an expert Unicorn that knows complicated spell's!" Twilight said; flabbergasted. Well~... Clearing her throat; catching everyone's- except for Aeron; Luna answered. "It's not magic; but an energy. A cursed energy permeated the stuffing of a discarded and forgotten plush doll, giving it new life as Banette. One of it's emotions that it takes; is anger. Strong feelings of hatred turned your doll into a Pokemon." During her explanation; every pony was either surprise or gap with their mouths hit the floor. Aeron wait for a bit, so they can understand. Then spoke. "It's best for Sweety Bell to think on her action for a while and answer some more question." know-tic that mention filly has felt depress, I didn't want her to feel any down then she is. "Next question." Small yellow hoof raised, I glance at the owner. "Yes um..." "Applebloom! And ma question is: What ar ya?!" "Do you mean, what I am; or my species?" Twirl my paw. She need's to be more pacific. "Both!" That'll be easy. "O-kay... Well, I'm a species called Lucario; the Aura pokemon. My name is Aeron Skylure, and i'm more similar to a jackal." His ears flick on his command, Applebloom couldn't help but giggle at my canine ears movement. "Next!" He said hastily and in a humored mood. "Say what does Princess Luna meant earlier; something about a trainer." Rainbow Dash ask. Her right eyebrow raised. Luna was the one who answer. "Pokémon Trainer is the term commonly used for a person/pony who catches, occasionally names, and trains several different kinds and types of Pokémon." That got their peak of interest. "REALLY!" Luna and Aeron chuckle from their glittering eyes of excitement and the adorable cuteness of the fillies is hard to no 'D'aww' at. "Wait;" Rainbow point a hoof at the midnight alicorn. "Does that mean you-" Luna nod. "WOW! That is so radical! Is Aeron your-" 'Okay got to stop her their.' "No I'm not her pokemon." Aeron intercept. "But she told you what to do!" "I'm not exactly like a pokemon. I'm different in few ways and I need her magic to sustain my wild battle style from going on berserk." Luna seen his old fighting style a few times. It didn't go well. Imagine a whole castle got collateral damage with almost half who lives in their goes on a riot and hold torch and pitch forks! Both him and Luna shivered; just remember'in that event, that was horrible day. Lucky King Abolist and Queen Merra calm everyone done, they were even willing to pay for their damage fee. Luna decide on getting Aeron to learn a different fighting style so that wouldn't happen again, lucky I'm more a melee fighter more then a powerhouse. "We've experienced a riot that put's us to running for our live." They gulp, tried to imagine a situation like that. "Well... Let's, just... continue." Twilight check her list of question's. Her eyes scan through out them all and picked a few. "My second question is. When you said ghost earlier and normal, what did you mean by that?" He not pad ready and quill float near it. Well, might as well give them the I idea."That, is what pokemons have as; Types. They represent our specialty and our strength and weaknesses." "Like a Cutie Mark!" Purple mane filly said excited. "Sort-of, but we can access other types that's out of our elements. For example; 'Protect' is a Normal moves; 'Dragon Pulse' is a Dragon move; and 'Bone Rush' is a Ground move." Twilight's scribbled frantically on notepad with every word I said and... Is Spike doing the same. When did he grab another quill and writing pad!? Fluttershy whispered something but I couldn't quite hear it. "Is their a question you would like to ask Ms.Fluttershy?" Heard a squeak from her as she look up from her laying position. "I-uh... I-I just wonder'in... How- um; many Types a-are out their?" "Their are eighteen. Types are: Normal, Fire, Water, Ice, Ground, Rock, Flying, Psychic, Steel, Fighting, Poison, Bug, Electric, Grass, Dragon;" I didn't see the butter-color mare shiver when the word 'Dragon'. "Ghost, Dark and Fairy." {Aeron POV} "DARK!" This time... I'm not surprised and neither did Luna, but everyone else was at the new voice. Recognized that regal voice anywhere. Right near the entrance way to the library is the all-known alicorn of the sun with the same guards from few weeks ago. "Hello Princess Celestia." I said chipper without looking. And I'm getting weird looks. "What?" "It is alright, I'm here to find some answers from Aeron here and overheard the word 'Dark'. Please continue." Celestia said, stern. Okay, something happen. "Your being hassled by the nobles." I state, made her slip from her masked expression. "I used to work for two princesses as their guards. Your sister is one of them. I've dealt with them by kicking them out into the trash ventilation shaft." They including Luna look at me with wide eyes. "They won't stop pestering on them with thing's that only benefit themselves... Yeah; good times." "Is that what you do to nobles!" Luna is certainly surprise. Unaware of me doing that kind of things. "Not all of them... Only the ones that acted all high and mighty." I shrugged, not really bothered by their disbelieve. "Sir Caliban and his group of nobles are the only ones that are nice an all... However; mister snooty pants in another group I know makes me want to tare him apart after his assault on an innocent orphan!" Just a moment, a cold; sinister grin was displayed on my face, gave everyone in the room shills up their spines. "Let's.. just continue. I'm just here to know everything that has transpired." We all nod and began to explain to both princess; Luna just need to know what happen before her arrival. Four hour's have past. "Alright! Who's up next?" My enthusiasm has shown in my voice. And of course; it'll be Twilight again. 'I step on another mine.' "Night's before, we saw yours and prin- Luna's memories and I~ couldn't hope to know-tic that you have something in your mind and it said and I quote;" She cleared her throat and cast some spell to sound sinister and masculine with vibration as she said. 'We'll use that Syringe true POWER!' That gave out another wave of chills up our spines. "Who is that and what's this Syringe?" ... "I...*sigh* I-I, rather not want to talk about it." I couldn't look at them, not after what those represented topics... incident. Every pony felt that; maybe they might have stepped on a touchy topic. "Did. Did I brought up a bad topic?" Wow. Three times that's used in a paragraph. I nod; head low somber; sighing. She said nervously. "Let's... get some lunch." //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 4) //-------------------------------------------------------// First Day in Ponyville (Part 4) {Aeron POV} Three hours went by, we decide to go out for lunch instead. We went out for some daffodil sandwich, hayburger and sweet apple cider. Except, I got three apple juice instead. ...... Everyones giving me a strange look. "... What?" I said plainly, I don't get why their giving me that face. "Nahwt ta be accusative but, is that there all y'all gonna got?" Applejack said brow raise. I look where shes look'in and spot my drink. I finished one earlier as it's straw on top of a napkin while the container is flatten. 'Why would she as me about this when she should have known- wait.' I face-pawed, realization hit me. I never told them did I? Look'in back at the farm pony. "Because that's all their is that I can eat or drink. Why do you ask?" Her face scrunched. "Don't play dumb, ayy know ya eat meat." Fluttershy gave out a loud 'Eep' that's more in her normal volume and a few gasps from any ponies including dragon (Don't-want-to-forget-about-him) except for Luna which is still eating her second serving; and she BIG! Seriously; how much food can she eat?! I looked all around, seeing everyone's reaction, I turn to AJ. "And~ your point is?" "Whel. . . ay done thought y'all would eat meat. Since y'all have those there teeth." She jester-ed to my canine teeth with her hooves. I rub the tip of my canine teeth, smooth but sharp. I just shrug. "You know an omnivore right?" She nod. "Well mostly I eat fruits often then meat. Yes- sooner or later I have to eat meat- but I choose not to. But I often eat berries or apples." Shrugged again, then glare at every pony that's listening. "And no, I don't eat ponies. Otherwise Luna wouldn't be here right now would she?" Their were silence from everyone, only the sound of Luna eating her fill. Which remind me. "How are you doing Luna?" Midnight alicorn look away from her food capitation, swallowing her current food in her mouth before speaking. "Twas good! Hath been given some rights as equals towards my sister;" She stop in mid sentence, thinking about something. I could hear a tick-tock sound of a clock somewhere, but no in sight. Yeah- I looked every direction for the sound but not there at all! Then heard a ding sound and cartoonish light-bulb above her head turn on! Okay this is getting creepy! Luna spoke. "Our sister. Since then, I've been over-watching Equestria in my own manner." Her expression from neutral to sheepish. "This time, I won't go stray." "Princess, you slip into old Equish again." Twilight pointed out. Luna seem, confused. "What ever do you mean?" She raise an eyebrow, she wasn't the only-one, I was confused too. I know Equish is a pony pun for English. So, what did Twilight mean by that, she was talking just fine. "You said; 'Our sister.'." Twilight respond. Hoofed another hay fry- when did she get that? She seem to be thinking or maybe quiet, I have no idea. Minutes later, her eyes widen and cheeks red. What is she... Oh NO! She didn't! "Uuuuuuuummmmmmm... ... See ya!" before anyone could ask why, I figure out how Pinkie does it and dash out of their with a cloudy silhouette behind before dissipating. They all blink at where I was, Luna tried the same but she was grasp by her sisters magic. And she did not look happy. "What's going on sister?" Celestia said sternly. Luna gave out a nervous chuckle, it's not gonna be a good day. I got away as fast as I could, huffing every now and then. "I, *wease* can't *huff* believe *huff* Pinkie *WEASE* does this everyDAYHH!" That's the first time I've ever run for my life! I look behind, hoped that they didn't chase after me. And sight, they didn't! "GET Y'ALL'S ZAP APPLE'S, GET Y'ALL'S ZAP APPLE'S HERE!" Western accent girl said cheerful. Got many others attention as they walk over where the voice came from, me included. I just wanted to see what this 'Zap Apple' is. What I see is a red mane with a large pink bow yellow filly, standing on a stool for more height and yell out her product sales. "-GET YOUR ZAP APPLE'S HERE!" Wait, I recognized that voice. I walk through the crowd, ignoring any stares they give me as I pass. I reached the other side to see three fillies that I definitely know since the questioning a while ago. The one spoke is a two tone purple mane, I think her name is Sweetie Belle. She's holds an apple that looks completely different then any apples I've seen! Stem is in a zigzag like a thunderbolt, and apple color is like the colors of the rainbow. "THEIR DELICIOUS! YOU CAN EVEN BUY SOME ZAP APPLE PIE, ZAP APPLE TART,-" ****** Hours past, I've watch them sale lots of zap apple pastries. I have lean over a tree trunk the first hour, but fell asleep mostly the rest of the time. Sleeping soundly, listened to the passing cool breeze, heard the birds chirping. I felt at peace, for only two hours before feeling something poke me. I ignore it, continued sleeping. Another poke later, I shift a little, went back to sleep. A bit later, something touch my ears and instinctively made it twitch followed by a few stifle giggles. Another touch to the ears again which made my ears twitch again with more giggling's. Is someone having fun with my ears or what? {Narrator POV} "Hey Apple Bloom, go get the pepper shaker will ya!" Scootaloo said. Apple Bloom shook her head. "Nah, I don' think we want to make it mad." She said. Sweetie Belle nod, in the corner of her eyes, two princess and friends to her sister coming this direction. She wave a hoof to them. "HI RARITY, HI PRINCESS CELESTIA, HI PRINCESS LUNA, HI EVERYPONY!" As they reached the Cutie Mark Crusaders, they also know-tic Aeron sleeping under an apple tree. Apple Bloom walk over the AJ for a hug. "hows yuurr first apple sales go?" Applejack asked. Letting go her younger sister. "It was hard, at first, but it went better with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo's help'n!" She answered nervously at first, before cheerfully told the good part. She must have felt her sister worries when she felt her own annoyance to her sisters over-protection. "And No, we didn't cause trouble." Scootaloo is poking at Aeron's ear for only for his ear to twitch. "Ay'm mighty glad that yur givin' Granny a chance fur Family Appreciation Day!" Applejack smiled at her little sister for thinking that Granny Smith would embarrassed her for only to be prove the opposite. Celestia let her pupil's friend's have their chat and walk to Aeron, she sees Scootaloo flicking his ear which twitch in respond with a giggle from the orange filly. She stifle a climb of her own giggle, she did everything to stay stern for what she has to say. 'I can't believe she did this to this young soul.' As she stood in view, Aeron -know-tic her, opened his eyes to look at hers. She shows remorse, or sadness. "Aeron... my sister told me what she did, and I'm truly sorry." Her head lower'd in sorrow. I said nothing for- what five minutes. I sigh. "It's not your fault sister." Her hooves shuffled a bit and her face seems to fight between surprise, shock, confused or unsure when I called her 'sister'. "It was mine. I've been a fool, believing I can see my family again when I know that that's impossible." "But I-" "Shush!" Aeron shushed Celestia. At first she was angry for him to tell her to be quiet, before she looked confused seeing him point where Scootaloo is which she look in that direction. What stood behind said pony is a tall amphibious- looking creature. The creature stands balanced on one of its legs with its arms cross together. Its triangular head is held at attention, though its eyes show a rather nonchalant expression. Around its neck is what appears to be a long scarf. Scootaloo's movement is mimicked from this creature. 'If only she knew!' He chuckled in his head. It appears everypony look at what he's staring only to freeze up at seeing it. No one said a thing, even when Scootaloo asked. "Why is everypony look'n at me like their seeing a ghost?" Aeron waited for a little bit longer, but that would be to cruel. {Aeron Skylure POV} "Turn Around." I command, tried to stifle a laugh. And the key word is 'tried'. She turn behind to see amphibious creature, her shivering form is not to be fun of. Shes a filly, and it kind-of hurts in the emotional department. I conferred my thoughts to words instead. "Hello Isaac!" Both princess and every pony look at me questionably. It stared for at me for a bit, unsure how's in front of him, before his eyes closed and mouth to a grin. It open it's mouth. "Long time no see Aeron!" His voice sounds dark and sinister and crocky. Everyone (except for me) look at it in complete surprised. Rarity, Twilight, and Fluttershy jumped. Applejack, Luna, Celestia and Rainbow when in a fighting stance. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo huddled together, shivering. Pinkie just has an unsure expression, eh. I raise a paw. "Would you mind not do that. You scaring the young ones." He cleared his throat. "Ah, sorry. I forget to stop voice acting!" His voice sound calm and cool feeling. "WHO'S THIS CREATURE?!" Luna asked loudly. I know Luna doesn't know because she was only through season 5 Pokemon. "This is Issac. He's known as Greninja, an amphibian Pokemon." They tense from hearing 'Pokemon' and ready to strike. But I stood in between Issac and them. "He's not wild, or evil! He's the leader of the Gale village of the ninja clan. He's a good friend." Tension is less but not much. "It's true. He's been in my village a few times over to see the children or their to train. He even ask me to train him as my student in my dojo." Issac knew what I'm tried to do and put a few word in too. It took more then an hour to convince them that he's not any threat, it even took the whole afternoon and it's beginning to be nighttime. I told them that Issac needs to talk to me about something and we need to be somewhere private, sounds personal. They agreed that their heading back to town while I talk to Issac. When me and the amphibian Pokemon is out of town range, I got a sense of caution and awareness. Like something feels like a Deja vu feeling that flew in myself. "Where are we going?" I asked. He said nothing except kept walking, I still followed. After about an hour, we stop in a large unused patch of land. Their's lot's of smooth dirt ground, a lake that's big enough for a swim with a calm waterfall, and lastly a hut that looks hand made. But what's got my attention is the dirt field since that's where the Greninja's walking to. "Um... So~, what is it you want to talk about?" That's all I've been thinking about and it's plague my mind for this long. As I got close to him in touch range, I see something reflective in his right pad. 'What the- OH SNAP!' I register what he's holding before he sung in a horizontal swing as I dodge in a back jump. Seen a good distance away, I see his eyes telling me something but I forgot how from my centuries of slumber. Issac held his water made ninja blade in a backhand grip, right arm upfront with his other pad placed one pad up upfront while it's near his face. Crouching like he's a sprinter, eyes that are cold as steel and shows pity! "You have shown that your strength has fallen and lost most of your powers that you-yourself has once wielded. This is your training and I'll say when you can stop!" His voice went to more of a sensei. I was shock, he know-tic that I've gone weak with just one look. My paw balled up to a fist, frustration flow through me and I think he knows what I'm feeling. He definitely knows, after-all, he used to be my sensei. Part of me want's to hate myself for being weak. I couldn't defeat that Zenmon, I couldn't resist the poison from Ariados, I can't even Defeat a Mega Banette without any help Luna or the girls! The other half wants me to tell me that I did everything that I could and try to learn from my mistakes and get better next time. If, if he brought me here for this... Then I'll do it! I'll start over again, and do more better. I took my stance that I do often while creating my two aura made 'Bone Rush' weapons. One my left held behind and right upfront and a bit more forward, like a mixture of a single hand sword stance and a rapier stance. I feel my face scrunched up in a serious manner, left paw held lightly with my right paw grip harder. If my eyes can say anything, it'll say 'LET'S RUMBLE!' //-------------------------------------------------------// Friends of New And Old, AJ's Round Up //-------------------------------------------------------// Friends of New And Old, AJ's Round Up (Aeron Skylure POV) Hours have pass since last night, I've been training with Sensei Issac a bit until he had to rest and let me train on my own up until sunrise. After Issac long start up training, I head back for a nice, long rest. Tomorrow is another day of training. As night took view, I head back to Issac temple for another training. And believe me, he didn't go easy on me. My first test is to see if my style has improved. It's me practicing on dodge and deflect, and master Issac have not gone easy on me. Good thing to, cause I need as much training as possible. "Your timings and speed is good for your quick combo, but your evasive maneuvers are shrivel to comparison. You must work hard on that." Issac said, I was heading back to town for a well rest. Whenever I come back, Twilight ask what I've been doing last night. She must have seen my room empty last night, or she heard step's in the library. And I answered with; 'Some things to check up on', 'Just exorcising' or something to make an excuse. She bought my words but her face says suspicious. And every time I go out or come back, she ask me where i'm going or where I've been. And she's gone unease from the moment I step outside. But she let it be and thought it's nothing. I want it to be a secret from any pony, for if they know, they may not give me space for myself. Now for the present, for another night training came and gone and ponies suspicions has been revealed. I clasp my balled up fist on the other, short bow. "I will get back to my full strength, and will continue to come back for more training." He did the same pose. He walk inside his handmade temple, which is surprisingly tall. I walk towards a practice dummy with those wood pole that has many wood poles hanging out. 'Why cant I figure out what it's called?' Theirs even a few swinging logs that's hang in random places. 'Lucario from the movie did those for testing their aura senses, might do those when I have more time.' I start with the punching bag first, for stress relief. "First step, choose your attack." I start doing light taps, before jabbing at slow pace. Need my stress level to take hold. As if I'm hearing a voice in my head, saying. 'It's to moralizing your opponent to repeat the phrase, 'Who's you daddy'.' After about a few jabs, I slap it silly a faster pace. "Who's your daddy, Who's your daddy, Who's your daddy Who's your daddy Who's your daddy-" Yeah, this is gonna take a while so let's check on something else. ****** "Stop pushing!" "It's not me Rare." A bit farther away near the temple, three thick huge bushes shaking. One shook harder then the others. "I said CUT IT OUT!" Rarity shout quietly as she could. "Gosh, was that you Rarity!" "Um, why are we here... If that's okay." "Aeron's been keeping something from us and i'm a bit worried." "Can we find a better hiding place instead of this itchy, dirty and cramp bush. It's ruining my mane. Even my hooves getting dirt and mud EW!" Rarity got a few groans from the same bush. Left bush shook as it respond. "And we need to know more about this, Issac, and more on what Aeron's been doing. Just as Twilight said." Bush shook harder with a muffled squeak. "SISTER, stop stepping on my TAIL!" "Only if you stop stepping on mine! AH! STOP THAT!" "Oops, sorry princess. That was me." Right bush stayed still with little shake at all. Three pairs of sphere-size eyes looking out, glancing at everything. It start moving away from the others quietly as possible and got close enough at the front porch before hearing swings, grunts and banging sounds. They didn't get a small break... Their bush gets pulled away from whatever that's in their. Revealing three young fillies, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They look for their covered, they see a pair of blue legs. Looked up in unison, they meet a glare from a disappointed amphibian pokemon. "What are you three doing?" He asked. "Girl's!" Someone said. As two more groups of bushes came to view only to stop. Shaken his head in disappointment. "If your trying to sneak around in those pore created disguises, then drop the act. even my eyes can see right through it." After minutes of waiting and staring at both poor-made bush. They sigh and reveal themselves. Bush one shows Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy. Other bush revealed Twilight, Celestia and Luna. As if they thought he was done, he adds. "And you too, out of that barrel." And just like that, the pink mystery pony, Pinkie Pie open a lit of a water barrel that's half filled with a look of depress. "AWWWWW, How did you find me!" She jump out with lit flipping in the air before perfectly fitting back on the wooden barrel. All ponies just gap at how he seen her their, and he only seen her once too. "Elementary my dear Pinkie," Out of no where he has a bubble pipe hanging out of his mouth and a detective hat on his head. Twilight thought. 'How did he?' She shook her head and claim. 'I'll treat that like Pinkies. It's Issac, don't question it... It sound weird when you think about it.' "I feel you coming," He blew bubbles out of his pipe before continuing. "and I can detect anyone that made contact with water in a eighty feet radius. Since their was water still in that barrel that you were in, it helps." It became silent, other then Issac is uneasy. Any sounds that extinguish silence is grunts, bang, clang and wack sounds. Luna ran to the noise, knowing that grunt belongs to her pokemon friend. But Issac got in her way. "Out of my way." Luna demand. He still stood in her way. He stare at her with no wavering eyes, no hesitation and no submission. "I said, move." Luna's voice is losing patient. "... No." "No?... NO! We asked thou to move aside, Just to see our friend, and thou defy our entry." Her voice is in tense. Her only reason why she didn't go plumping the life out of him is Celestia's held her to her side when she caught up. Princess of the sun look eye to eye with his. She asked calmly. "Is their any reason as to why we can't see him?" Issac stood their for a bit before speaking in a serious tone. "Two, reasons..." "And, what are they?" He breath calmly from his serious tone. He spoke. "One: You all entered my property without permission." They look at each others unease, they assume that he's not one follow rules, but he does follow law protocol. "I, see... We have entered in your property, and-" "Wait!" Every pony look at Twilight in sudden interruption. "He never place a property form or any home building arrangement!" That is a point. Even if he's a pokemon, they need to fall protocol for building house of any kinds. Their can be serious problems with bit cost and location price too. "Yeah, you don't own this land, and you can't stop us from coming through the forest!" Rainbow Dash smirk. He raise one pad-finger upfront. "AH, but you don't have control over the forest, nor where pokemon's can live. It's like forcing a fish to live on land when that fish can't live out of water. And what Aeron told me, not even the princess has no property control over nature areas such as forest for example!" His smirk grown to a grin. "And Everfree!" "W-what!" Twilight stammered. Searching through her readings of Equestrian law for a small chance of miss calculation. Not knowing on what to do, she look over to her mentor, whom look at all ponies with nervousness. Celestia spoke unease. "I'm sorry Twilight.. But... He is right, we have no law that has proper control, over anything that happens in natural habitats." Her student's ears press back, she didn't wan't to see her student like that.But shes not in trouble. Her look to Issac. "I apologies for our trespass." During their conversation, I walked from my training for a nice break and I heard their conversation. He nods in confirmation of her apology. "Second, I don't wan't to say it... But, I have to..No offence... Your all a distraction to him." He said bluntly. "What!" All ponies; except for Celestia yell in unison. "We're not distracting him!" Rainbow said, baffled. I thought. 'You made me RACE you when you had an advantage!' "Yeah! He's happy to be with us. Like, a lot!" Pinkie Pie said cheerful. "That's not what he meant girl's." They heard me spoke up and turn to me as they see me walking their way. "He didn't wan't others to distract me while I'm training." I dab my head with a towel that's wrap around my neck. "He didn't mean it as an accuse, but as a caution. Luna already seen what i'm like when I fight wildly and Issac knows it because his grandfather, Undine Oris, has tried to tame my wild side of me when I was young." I smile, they show nervousness, Luna showed it more. "He's just worry for your safety." Feeling tense in the air as is galling and sour. I nudge Issac's in the ribs. "He's sad because he has no one to train in his time.. And no children's to play with!" I smirk at him and he just nudge me playfully a little harder. "That may be true, but your good as a substitute since your childish yourself!" He joke. "Hay!" Hearing laughter made us smile before I have to intervene. "I'm mature enough as an adult." "I know I know, your old enough!" Our little quarrel is in good motion... A ruffle of a bush nearby caught our attention. It shift and shake for a bit, stop, again about six times. Something or someone, step through the large bush. What I see is as my mental pokedex tells me from my time in the pokemon world. A primate-like Pokémon that is primarily reddish-brown with sections of white fur on its chest, head, and lower legs. Several gold markings adorn its body: swirled, circular ones on its knees and shoulders flame-shaped ones on the back of its hands, and a stripe around its back that forms two swirls on its chest. On top of its head, fur sprout like a crown instead of flames. It has an orange, rounded muzzle, long, round ears with blue inside, and a red ridge over its eyes. The eyes themselves are blue with yellow sclera. There are five blue digits on both its feet and hands, and it has a long tail. It's fur is similar to a monk like style. Everypony cautiously stare at it. Applejack, Rainbow and Rarity stood in front of the fillies. Me and Issac took in it's appearance, which is male and beat up real badly. His head look up to see ponies before glancing at the Greninja, then stop at me. His eye's widen as best he could with his beaten face. "AE~RRRO~N," He struggle to say in his, a bit higher whispered. Realization hit me, eyes widen when he said my name! His voice, and his monk like fur... 'It can't be...!' As his body fell to the ground. What's on his back, is four extension poles that's hanging in a barely seen belt, and a- 'HALBERD!!' I know that weapon, only one pokemon has that particular weapon! My body feels jumpy. "ALBERT!!!" My shout reached everyone as they responded with a jump, but I didn't care. I ran up to him, bending down to flip him to his back; "Albert, are you alright?" held his head with my right arm. His leg swollen, one dislocated arm, one dislocated shoulder, severe bruises, and three claw marks with a bit blood leak! "Wha... happen..." My voice quivered as did my bottom snout. Looking at his bruised up face in worry.. no, not worry... fear. He struggle to open one eye over to me, tried to grin of only a cough. "It.. is... you! ...AGH!" He grunts, struggled to stay awake, wasn't able to bare it anymore, he fell limped. "Hay.. HAY!" I check his pulse for any indication. Feeling a pulse, I then place an ear over his chest on hope his heart is- Beat in hesitant rhythm, my voice quivered more. "Please be okay." Everything had lost shapes only replaced in pile of blobs. One, two set's of hoof-steps came up to me. I look behind slowly, I can barely seeing Celestia and Luna standing over us. Eyes teared up, HARD! It surprise me, me showing any emotion to anyone. They all must have seen my face for they either shock, surprised or gasp. Well... That's what I guess anyways. But, I don't care, on how they see me as. Only thing that matters right now is my dear old friend. {Twilight POV} 'My eyes lying to me or is this real and not a dream.' I thought. Aeron, the aura knight... is... 'Crying!' I am stun by this, unravel. I haven't expect him to show an emotion like THAT before. A single tear yes, but... not like a foal crying when they get a scrape. Princess Celestia placed one hoof on his shoulder, whispered something to him that I couldn't hear what their saying. Aeron lifts the primate on his back before sprint away, he seems to be taking it to Ponyville! But why? "We should go too deary." Turn in complete attention to Rarity's statement. "We're still in Everfree Forest, and having the Crusaders out here where they'll get hurt, and, keep Sweetie Belle from getting to much dirty." I sigh for her comment, same old Rarity! "Good point! Let's go girls." I called. Before taking a step, Issac step forward. "If you don't mind, I would like to escort you out of the forest in Aeron's place. He would feel worry if their's no reassured to your safety, and for a way to apologize for my miss use of angering you, your highness." He bow to both princess but more for Luna for his rash behavior. *** Hours pass, I ask the amphibian pokemon on what he is. We were surprise that he's a Water/ Dark type as he explain how he can manipulate and move as a ninja in the shadows. I asked who that primate is? He doesn't know who he is either, but knows what pokemon he is. When we reached the outskirt, we want to thank him for his generous offer. But said that he shall depart and when we turn to ask, he just, vanished! "How?" Is the only thing that I could say. Everyone just shrug it off, and I'll be remember this until I figure it out someday. {Narrator POV} As Celestia and Luna head back to Canterlot for upcoming Day Court, the girl's want to see where Aeron is. They asked everypony they meet, if they've seen a tall, canine-like biped. They were disappointed result. They either point them to the direction which has no signs of him there or have no idea on where he went. After about an hour, they meet up at town square. Exhausted and out of breath except for Rainbow and Applejack who has been trained to deal with longer time. "Have any pony seen him?" Only to receive 'No', she huff. "Were could he be..." "I've asked *gasp* every pony, I can *gasp* find and still found *huff* no sign of him in any street's.*huff*" Rarity gasp and huff. "I Scout through out Ponyville in the air, no sign of him." Rainbow Dash said in mid-flight, barely even loss of breath. Stood silently, taking in all that they've done so far. A primate pokemon called Infernape named Albert, Aeron show some emotional swing, and no one seen them at all... Unbeknownst to them, a shadow silhouette that seems to sneak behind Applejack silently. AJ's ear twitch, heard shacking behind a bush behind her. "AAHH!" Before she can even respond, a force that push her down on the ground by something from behind! "APPLEJACK!" What's on their dear friend has appear to be a quadruped, hoofed Pokémon similar to goats. Its covered in fluffy, brown fur that is dark across the back and light around the belly and legs. Around its neck, it have a thick, green leafy mane that extends down its spine and ends in a short tail. The fur on its face is white with fluffier fur on its chin. It have a black nose and red eyes with white pupils. The eyes are surrounded by a black marking. The top of its head is dark brown and has two long, curving, black horns that extend over its back. The fur on its legs is shorter than the rest of its body, dark brown on the upper leg, and white around the feet. Each foot ends in a cloven, brownish-orange hoof. And It's... Nuzzling her!? "Gogoat!" It sort-of said. It move of her and sat on it's haunches, tilting it's head at the orange mare curiosity. Now free from being tackle down and being nuzzled a few times, Applejack got up and crane her neck see this creature more better. "What's in my stetsons hat is that?!" "Let me check!" Before Applejack can understand, Pinkie lift AJ's hat and check to see inside. Rambling inside of it; which shouldn't be Possible to do; and it sounds like theirs stuff moving around! She pull out a rubber duck; "He-he!" then pull out a toy train; "Cha-ga Cha-ga Cha-ga Cha-ga choo choo!" then pulled out... Scootaloo! And holding her upside-down by her tail. "Hay! I'm-in-a-middle-of-a-Crusader-meeting-here! So-would-you-mine." Scootaloo growled. Leering at the party pony which is embarrassingly blush. While Pinkie put her down, Applejack swipe her hat back with her own glare. "I mean, what is that?" She point her hoof at the goat creature which 'meah' like a goat. Twilight was behind Rarity, walked over and pulled out a red, circle-shape machine. Her friend look over her back for a better look. First spoke up is Applejack. "What's that sugarcube?" Tilt her hat back. "Why ask AJ." Rainbow said annoyed, hovered over Twilight. Yawning sarcastically in her hoof. "*Yawn* I bet it's only an egghead would make." Twilight turn her head at Applejack, completely ignored Rainbows annoyance. She answered. "It's called a Pokedex! It stands for Pokemon Index, made to keep Intel on pokemons that I've encountered, caught, and can let you see what moves they know. One time, Aeron let me see his, but kept it away from me." Rarity nod. "Is their a chance we can have one too, but with another color!" Rarity blink. "If Aeron said's it's okay, then sure." Look back at the creature. Point the flat-side at it and, It instantly opened up with a translucent-projection that displayed the same image as the creature. "It's a pokemon." Follows with the pokedex spoke. Gogoat, the Mount Pokémon. Gogoat is able to sense its Trainer's feelings by detecting small changes in the grip on its horns. This allows both Trainer and Pokémon to move together as one. "Wow!" Everyone said in unison, surprise by it speaking. "Yeah, that's what I did too." Twilight chuckled. She went to see what it knows. "Oh, it's female. What moves does it know?... Zen Headbutt, Milk Drink and Tackle." "Meah!" Gogoat nod her head at Applejack and scrap the ground, nostrils shot out air. Twilight seen Gogoat's reaction, trailing at who shes nodding at and point her hoof at Applejack. "I think, she want you AJ." Her farmer friend doesn't get it, Twilight tried to see if she'll understand. "Did you want her;" Pointed at AJ. "for what, be your trainer?" She nod, Twilight gasp at her first guess and turn toward her orange friend. "She want YOU to be it's trainer!" Others gap including Applejack. "M-Me! A trainer... I don't know how-WAH." Something touch AJ's shoulder which made almost leap if she hasn't been hold their by a, blue padded hand. Turn around and see Issac, wearing a snickering face. She huff. "Not funny." "Sorry, couldn't resist." Searched each girls for any problems, mostly none. Last thing is Gogoat in the wait, and knew why. "So... You need a pokemon to fight. Heh... Well;" He walk in between the farm pony and the Mount Pokemon. "Then I shall assist as your girl's pokemon until one of you get yours." "Are ya sure!?" Applejack asked. He nod, taking a battle stance, Gogoat ready too. "Applejack, stand behind me and prepare for command." She didn't understand why, but did it anyways. Look straight at them in unsure, she ask. "What next?" "As the battle begin, I shall fight and listen to any plans that you have. But, not ALL pokemons follow orders, or they wait for your commands. Next, Know your partners moves- which will be me for this fight. I'll tell you only five moves and you must decide when and where you want me to do it. Here they are: Night Slash, Water Shuriken, Substitute, Camouflage and Water Pledge." As he points out her choice, Twilight shows each one what they do. "Yeah.. I guess." She's not sure if she can do this, but need a thinking thought. Gogoat start off with Tackle, running at him with her head. Issac stood still, making AJ panic. Was he waiting for her? 'What should I do?...' She's already ten feet away before hit. At seeing this, she just scrap what every idea she has and said. "Dodge!" Just as the words slip out Issac move to his right, only for the Mount pokemon to just be a feet away. "Night Slash!" He reach his hand-like pads behind his back and a blade that's illuminated like the moonlight that's cloaked in shadows like a slithered snake. Back-handed, he pull it out in a fast swing. She 'Meah' from getting hit. Gogoat skid, still on her hooves. He sees her determination and smiled at AJ. Issac can tell, that these two are meant to meet. Applejack seems to calm down from her panic and replaced with a competitive expression. She use Zen Headbutt, similar to Tackle except her horns glow blue and ran again at him. Issac attempt to jump away but wait for AJ to- "Quick use Substitute with Camouflage." Applejack said calmly right when Gogoat reach five feet away. Issac took a stance but got hit by her blue glow horn, an everything looks all slow motion. POOF Pink smoke came out; out of nowhere! What fell isn't the Ninja Pokemon, but a small stuff doll dinosaur! Gogoat blink confusingly. Her eyes looked every direction she can, not there. Turn her head to look behind, no pokemon. Raised brow in confusion, took a wary search. But something from behind, that's to blend with the background has within range. "Night Slash." AJ quickly said. Same blade as before came into view but not whats holding it. Another quick swing came, but miss! She jump back away from his strike and use Tackle. After being figured out, his camouflage wear off. And got hit in the chest, Issac step back and did a few back flips away before- "Use Water Shuriken then Water Pledge." Another quick command! And Issac didn't wait to land, creating a four point star shaped water in both arms and threw both at her in mid flip. *whooshing* She move her right hoof from first with her moving the other, her stance is on her hind leg. SPLASH During her evasive, Issac place one arm on the ground. Only in thirty seconds, a tower of water shot out below Gogoat like a full blown geyser. Once it's deceased, She fell back on wet dirt. "Meah-eh eh.. eh..." Tried desperately to stand up and fight. But fell back with no intention to get up. Issac turn to AJ, seeing her shock displayed on her face. He sprint to his bag he brought earlier, rampaging through random items and strange herbs. "AH." Arm pulled out, holding a small sphere with a button on the side. Has red for the top half and white for the bottom half. "Here, catch." He throw at her made her did a double take before catching it in her hoof. "What's this?" "First press the small button." She did and had been surprise by it expanding five times big. "That's a pokeball, you use those to catch pokemon." It seems that she couldn't believe it. He sigh. "We can talk about it some other time. now throw it at Gogoat QUICK!" Pointed at the Mount pokemon. "Eh-r-r-right!" Applejack nod, turning to Gogoat and hold pokeball back before throwing as best and it's far up-until it tap on it. Not realizing that the girls are being watch by everybody. Once tap, it open and a red light grasp Gogoat in it's grasp before she too turn into red light and in the ball, closing itself. Land on the ground, wiggling few times... First wiggle... Second wiggle... Audience look intense. Third wiggle... AJ squeeze her throwing hoof that ache from not getting exorcises three days ago, bit her lower muzzle. 'Please.' Fourth shake... DING Everyone stood silent, hoping that that was all. Applejack stood still, she couldn't believe what shes seeing. 'What.. just.. happen.' Her blinking slowed, staring into space with what shes seeing. 'Did... Did, I...' She slowly walk to it, her thoughts slowly clicking in. 'I... actually;' Stop right in-front and slowly, pick it up looking at it with complete surprise. "I caught it." She whispered. quite low that no one heard it. Her hoof shook, something rising up to her chest. "I caught it." volume rise, that feeling inside her grew to something she knows very well. A small smile over her muzzle. "I caught it!" Turn to every one, raised her head high with the most happiest smile ever. "I caught-" Applejack jump in the air with pokeball in hoof with a hoof version of a fist-pump. "MY FIRST POKEMON!!!" Crowd stomp and whistle in thrill. *** Aeron's outside the Surgery Room. Walking back and forth in nerve, tapping both paws together. His appearance has more worse of wears. Some fur hanging out, baggy eyes and dull grey spikes. One look, everyone would think hes woken up on the wrong side of the bed! His eyes are bloodshot red from crying to long, soggy fur. Look over door every time he pass by it. "Please... be... okay..." Whisper to himself, his eye gone misty and blurring out from not getting rest. At this moment Nurse Redhead had been walking through the same hall as him. Looked up from her clipboard and smiled at seeing her past patient. "Hay Aer-" She stop after a few feet and seen his body wobble and waver. "Are you alright?" THUD "Aeron!" *** Girls congratulate Applejack on her first capture. Continued for a while until I pony has to say something. "That... was... amazing! Can I meet her?" Fluttershy ask, eager to meet a pokemon that resembles to goats in mountain top. Issac left a batch full of them in a large bag that Twilight levitated with ease beside her. AJ look at her pokeball; which Issac let her keep; then point the button side away at a clear spot. "Come out and meet everyone!" saying that pokeball open up and a beam of red light hit a bit away from others and revealed Gogoat as the light disperse, neighing with affection instead of huffing or grunting. AJ ruff her green, leafy mane. "Come meet my friends," Start to point each one as she announce their name. "Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Twilight and Fluttershy." As Fluttershy had been named she slowly came up to the goat-like pokemon and almost touch but stop halfway. "Is it.. um okay if I can pet you?" Her respond is with a happy 'Meah'. Since shes spent her time with animals that she can tell by how their tone and volume of their sound that Gogoat said 'It's alright'. Rainbows grin with her eager flapping. "Man.. I can't WAIT to have one of my own! I hope I'll find a Flying type for me!" Her friends remember during their time when Rainbow ask about the type Flying. Well she did get Tank instead of a falcon so they think this might be a good chance for her to have one. Shes not saying she regret having a tortoise, but she is needing a flying partner sooner of later. "Twilight, Darling... What type is Gogoat again?" Rarity ask in confusion. Twilight sheck in he Pokedex, and said. "Grass. And Applejack, shes perfect for your home since your family has been taking care of farm animals and it resembles a goat." After their little introduction, they head out to the hospital since that's the only sightings that they haven't check. They hear the door open and see Nurse Redheart waving at them. "Hello." "Hello! If your here for Aeron, he's resting in a hospital bed unconscious." All six girl's look ready to panic but Redhead stop them. "He's just overexert himself from no sleeping much if not that, emotional panic. He just need a good night sleep and some medical attention." They sigh in relief which Redhead sigh as well. "I'll attend to his needs and call when he's released, again!" She said.
