A New World, An Old Crime
Chapter 03
Previous Chapter“How could humans build such things…?”
Twilight had spent most of her time after her encounter with Thomas looking for the books he had suggested, and now that she had she was even more amazed by the former humans then she already had been.
She of course knew what Uranium was, for it was in many places across Eques, and was absurdly hard to work with. It resisted magical manipulation, and it was extremely harmful unless one had protection, so to find that humans had not only found out how to use it, but they had even figured out how to improve it, was truly astounding.
And once again, like with many of the human advances, she found herself wondering why Princess Celestia still refused to allow them to begin sharing their technology. It had been months since the new Ranger Union HQ had been set up, and it had been just as long since that building had been tricked out with various human technologies, due to Abby insisting that they would be needed to help the rangers.
Though the advances were showing no sign of upsetting anything, Princess Celestia still refused to move any further towards technological advance, despite the growing demand for advancement from both Pokémon as well as ponies, the Pokémon talking about how it would give them piece of mind, and the ponies talking about how such technologies would improve daily life in Equestria.
But, no matter how many argued, she refused to move any further in spreading the new technology out, and she always used the same excuse, that she needed more time to evaluate.
“She’s been evaluating for months,” said Twilight out loud, groaning a bit as she got up from where she was sitting before looking out her window toward the Union HQ, and with a sigh of determination she got up and headed for the door.
“I think it’s time me and Abby try to talk to her again.”

“Thomas, I want you to think really long and hard before you try and push this…”
“I have thought long enough,” said Thomas, “these mon deserve justice.”
“Thomas I understand,” said Abby, “but you have to understand that this is no simple matter, because what you’re asking for would tantamount to the largest arrest mission in the history of the Ranger Union, and that is not an easy thing to manage, especially considering we are still low on people to do this kind of mission.”
“I know,” said Thomas, “but you have to understand, I don’t care how long this is going to take, as long as it is done right. However, if you do not want to take this mission, I will be forced to take this matter to Arceus and see how he deals with it.”
“You wouldn’t!”
“I don’t want to, believe me,” said Thomas. “It would not be pretty, and there is of course the possibility he may overreact and target those who simply stood by while his Pokémon were murdered, and that would get messy. This is why I want the Rangers to take on this mission, for while I know it would take longer to bring these people to justice, I also know that I would not have to fear the Rangers reacting in an overzealous manner.”
Leaning forward, Thomas smiled, “so to paraphrase a line from one of my favorite movies, help me Abby Trombly, you’re my only hope.”
While Urayne face palmed, Abby growled, “Fine, we’ll take the mission, but this is going to require a fuck ton of paperwork, and I expect you to be here when I present this nightmare to my mother, who has final say on whether this mission goes through or not.”
“I can accept that,” said Thomas, before turning around as an Eevee walked in and spoke to Abby.
“Mam, Princess Twilight is outside and wishes to speak with you, should I send her in.”
“Send her in,” said Abby, watching as the Eevee left before shooting a glare at Thomas as he began to rise, “You stay there, this shouldn’t take long, and afterword’s we can head to my mother’s office to bring your case to her.”
Thomas sat back down as Twilight walked into the office, the alicorn looking a bit surprised before shaking it off and turning to Abby as she closed the door. “Abby, I think it’s time we take another crack at convincing Celestia to move forward with spreading the technologies from Earth to Equestria.”
“Well you know how I’m a sucker for hopeless causes,” said Abby with a smirk, “but I think it will go about as well as any of the other times we’ve tried, she always uses the same excuse.”
“I may be able to help,” said Thomas.
Silence hung in the room for a moment, and as Twilight went to speak, Abby cut her off. “By Arceus you’re a genius.”
When Twilight shot her a confused look, Abby explained, “Twilight, this is Thomas Arden, a former spokesmen for Pokephillia Rehabilitation, against his will as it turns out, and is probably one of the best known people when it comes to convincing someone to do something they are particularly against doing.”
“…Example?”
“The government of the Alola Region was neither for nor against Pokephillia, never condoning it outright, nor allowing Rangers to arrest anyone who was suspected. I was assigned by my “employer” to convince them that people of that nature were not well and that they needed to be brought in so that we could help them. It took me a week, but by the end of that week Alola had officially recognized Pokephillia as a problem, and lifted the restrictions on the Ranger Union the very next day. Now, I know that may have sounded bad and all given this lovely knew world, but I could offer to do the same in regards to this technological problem, for it would be nice to actually use these talking skills for a good rather than…well Bullshit.”
“Be careful who you say that around,” said Twilight, “But if you’re as good as you say, we could always use more help in this venture.”
“I’d be happy to help,” said Thomas, “when do we leave.”

“So Nuclear Pokémon were banned outside of Tandor?”
Thomas nodded his head as he rested comfortably on his seat aboard the train, which was making its way to Canterlot. “It’s mainly due to the fact that they didn’t know if the Nuclear Type moves were contagious, which added restrictions to those wanting to visit Tandor. Add on top of that Tandor’s protected status, and it became downright impossible to travel there unless you had the proper papers or were a resident of Tandor.”
That got a curious look from Twilight, “Tandor was under protective status, that’s interesting to hear, nothing in my books said anything about that.”
“It was a recent development,” said Abby, “I think it happened after Tandor when from being an isolationist government to a more open one.”
“Yep,” said Thomas, “and once the rangers found out how many so called extinct Pokémon existed on Tandor, they were quick to get the entire region marked with protective status, which made it the first and only region to receive such a treatment.”
“Well it was a right pain in the ass,” said Abby, “the paper work alone kept many of us from going there, we just left the nitty gritty to the local Ranger unit that got established there.”
“I see,” said Twilight, before turning to Urayne as she watched the being put a hand to her belly, which was noticeably bigger, “Are you alright?”
“I am fine,” said Urayne with a smile, “I was just checking on our egg, I completely forgot to do so after exerting myself earlier.”
Smiling, Thomas nuzzled his mate and spoke. “How is our little miracle doing love?”
“She is doing well,” said Urayne, “growing just fine, especially given the transfer.”
Twilight, Abby’s and Kasai’s eyes widened in shock at that, and Kasai chose that moment to speak. “Ok, let me see if I am hearing this right. From the way you are talking, the egg in her is yours, but she is implying that she got pregnant before we were all transferred here.”
Urayne nodded.
“H…how…?” said Abby, before jumping as a crying sound emitted from Kasai’s tail, Kasai sighing before pulling their little bundles of joy out from his tail and passing them to Abby, who nuzzled them close to her teats before placing a few of her tails over to cover them before looking back to Thomas and speaking. “OK, seriously how did you manage that, because unless some scientists in Tandor have been doing some highly illegal genetic tampering in secret all these years, there is now way that egg can be yours?”
Thomas simple smiled, before looking to his mate and speaking, “You want to explain this dear, you were always better at it then I was.”
Nodding her head, Urayne snuggled up close to her mate before beginning her tale, not even batting an eye as Twilight materialized a quill and parchment and began taking notes. “Well, after I…um, modified myself so I could properly be with Thomas, I eventually realized that I…well that I desired to one day have children with him, so I began looking into further altering myself. However, before I could begin working on that, two of Thomas’s Pokémon asked if they could…be my first test subjects, as they wanted children but lacked the ability to conceive.”
“Let me guess,” said Abby, “different egg groups?”
“Precisely,” said Urayne. “It took me several tries to figure it out…which may have involved a few exploded beakers, but eventually I became comfortable enough with my experiment to test it on the pair, which resulted in a healthy litter of Orchynx and Cubbug’s. I then preformed the same process on several other couple to make sure it worked, before finally moving on to make the attempt to modify myself and my beloved mate.”
“At which point she nearly blew up her lab in rage at what she discovered,” said Thomas with a smirk.
“Well I would assume it would be harder getting Pokémon and Humans to create a child then different Pokémon right?” Said Twilight.
Urayne growled at that, “Quite the opposite in fact, it was entirely too easy, which is what caused my rage.”
When she got confused look from both Twilight Kasai, and Abby, Urayne turned toward Abby and spoke. “You’ve been to the Sinnoh Region correct, to the library?”
Abby nodded her head, “Yes, but I don’t see how that relates to this.”
“Because it appears that one of the legends spoken of in the books in Canalave Library are true, for when I took a closer examination of mine and my beloveds DNA, I found a dormant gene which allowed Humans and Pokémon to have children, and it was a simple matter of awakening that gene from its dormancy. As I said, it was entirely too easy.”
There was silence for a moment, and then Kasai growled as he spoke, “So you’re telling us that you essentially tore down one of the greatest arguments used against us, and yet your mate still peddled that…that…”
“Kasai,” said Abby, nuzzling close to him, “I’m sure they had their reasons, though I would like to hear them.”
“Well think about it,” said Thomas, “If I, a supposedly reformed Pokephile, came out and told the world that my Pokémon had found a way to allow Pokémon and humans to procreate and is pregnant with my child…well I don’t think I need to tell you what would have happened.”
“You would have been arrested, though I don’t know how the hell the rangers would have handled Urayne, I mean she is a legendary.”
“Exactly,” said Thomas, “which is why I put so much faith in Cynthia, for she really had a good plan.”
“I keep hearing about this plan,” said Twilight, “yet every time I ask Abby about it she tells me she didn’t know much about it.”
Thomas smirked at that, “Well Cynthia liked keeping things close to the chest, but seeing as how the plan is kind of moot, I think it would be safe to share. We were originally going to meet with Seth to discuss a plan for the big meeting, as well as go over out two big trump cards.”
“Well the first trump card I think is obvious,” said Twilight, “what with Urayne being pregnant, but what would the second one be?”
“Well for that,” said Thomas, “I have to ask a question of our dear ranger here.”
Looking to Abby, Thomas spoke again. “Now Abby, besides the fact that Humans and Pokémon could not produce children, what was the largest argument used when people would try to defend Pokémon/Human relationships?”
“Well that’s simple,” said Kasai, cutting Abby off as the Arcanine spoke. “The second biggest argument was that Humans could not understand Pokémon, thus it was impossible to confirm consent, which is bullshit when you have Pokémon who could speak English, as well as Psychic types.”
“Correct,” said Thomas, “which is why I was going to show both Cynthia and Seth this little beauty.”
Reaching into his bag with his telekinesis, he pulled out a little device, handing it to Twilight before looking to Abby and speaking. “Abby, I want you to take off your translation necklace, but don’t speak till I give you the word ok?”
Nodding her head in confusion, Abby took off the necklace, a small sapphire on a string which all Pokémon wore to help converse with ponies and others, and set it aside as she watched Thomas place the device upon Twilight and activate it with a button press. “Ok Abby, fire away.”
“You can’t be…”
She stopped when Twilight gasped, looking confused for a moment till it finally clicked in her head, the former human pointing to the device in shock as she spoke. “Wait, is that…”
“A Pokémon translation device,” said Thomas proudly, before gesturing for Abby to put her necklace back on as he took the device from Twilight.
“Ok,” said Kasai, “what the fuck…is this another bloody Tandor thing?”
Thomas nodded at that, “Mhmm, Professor Cypress didn’t want it coming out till she was sure it would work in any situation, though testing was halted a bit when during one of her tests she overheard how her Electruxo would love nothing more than to be able to bend her over a table and fuck her brains out, which considering they are like Rabidash…”
Abby nearly choked, while Kasai’s eyes bulged, which left Twilight looking confused. “Um…am I missing something here?”
Thomas chuckled, before looking to the princess with a smirk and speaking. “How big in the…hmm…genital department would you say Saddle Arabian males are?”
Twilight blushed, “Um…pretty big, usually twice as big as pony males.”
“Rabidash and Electruxo are about the same size, if not bigger.”
Twilight’s blush achieved new shades of red, and by this point Abby and Kasai were doing their best to hold back their snickers.
“Which is why I was immensely thankful that I was the one who stumbled upon her in her lab… Even though I found her in an unconscious drooling mess with her Electruxo, who was panicking while trying to nuzzle her to consciousness, mostly due to having fucked her into a stupor.”
Twilight had turned such a deep shade of red she almost equaled Big Macintosh in color, meanwhile Kasai was rolling on the floor laughing while Abby giggled up a storm.
When they both eventually calmed down, Kasai spoke up. “Heh, that must have been a sight to behold, though it’s a miracle she’s not dead.”
“Well I want to know why you found her like that in the first place,” said Abby, “I mean hearing your Pokémon wants to fuck you is one thing, but capitulating right off the bat?”
“Well to be fair she had a major crush on him for years,” said Thomas, “Plus it didn’t help that the scenario was like something out of some…let’s just say racy literature that she liked to read.”
That got an eyebrow quirk from Abby, “Wait…I thought Pokémon Pornography was illegal?”
“Oh come on,” said Twilight, “You’re telling me that Pokémon weren’t allowed to have a form of adult literature?”
“Not even a racy romance,” said Kasai, before looking to Urayne as she chuckled, “what?”
“Tandor was a bit more…open when it came to racy Pokémon literature,” said Urayne, “for while it was illegal for humans to write adult Pokémon literature, it was not illegal for Pokémon to write or sell adult Pokémon literature, nor was it illegal for humans to purchase such literature from these sellers…as long as they stated it was for their Pokémon.”
“Anyways,” said Thomas, “after getting her cleaned up and back to work, she fine-tuned it a bit more, before finally it was finished, and after giving me my own, she set about creating more while I began coordinating with Cynthia on how to best get out little movement off the ground. And then…before the big meeting with Mr. Crescent was set to happen…Arceus happened.”
“Sounds about right,” said Abby, before jumping a bit as a whistle sounded, everyone looking to see that they had arrived at Canterlot station.
They quickly exited the train, but as they disembarked and began unloading their luggage, Thomas was stopped as a voice called out to him.
“Mr. Thomas, is that you?”
“I know that voice…”
Thomas turned to look at who spoke to him, then let out a growl as he spotted a Shiny Gallade wearing a black zoot suit trimmed in gold, standing arm in arm with a Shiny Gardevoir wearing a dress colored in a similar fashion.
“…Palentine!”
