It was the end of the day in Yurtown, after the surprise of getting PokePon eggs to care for the kids returned home for the day, some happy, some nervous, one scared and one more with a lot in his mind, William J Dickson, better know as Billy, watched his handy work, this wasn't the first time he had an egg, in fact his parents give him the special task of caring for all the PokePon his family owned and some of those came as eggs, but this was his first dragon egg ever.

His Grandfather's words still haunting his mind, after reading all he could about dragon eggs Billy prepared extra things for the new arrivals, including a small bed for his purple companion who followed him patiently.

"Twi Twi?". Asked the little unicorn with concern.

"I'm ok Twilie, don't worry, instead how about getting something to eat, Mom should have left something for us, come on". Billy walked to his kitchen but stopped when he didn't heard the little hooves of his PokePon, when he turned he found her looking T the egg with curiosity.

"Are you worried about it?".

"Twi?".

"Hm, I never dreamed of having a dragon PokePon, but I do now so I have to be careful, but don't worry". Billy picked Twilie form the floor and patted her head. "I'm sure everything will turn out fine and soon we'll have a new friend with us, you'll like that right?".

"Twi!". Responded the little unicorn with enthusiasm.

"Good girl, now let's get something to eat".

As it turned out Sparkles were picky eaters, out of all the PokePon food the Dickson family had ready only few of it was accepted by the little unicorn, Billy did note of the ones Twilie accepted and give her some of his own food which she took, apparently she liked cold lemonade too. Done with dinner Billy took his new registered Ponydex and when over the previous information acquired, he was sore that in his bliss of watching Muffins trash the adult Changeling he failed to capture himself another PokePon, he his Grandfather was to heard that he would most likely make fun of him, still, the fact that he was now a registered trainer and had a PokePon of his own was way better that he expected but he wasn't going to go overconfident, if a dragon PokePon was very hard to raise Billy would find a way.

The sound of the phone broke his inner thoughts. "Hello?"

"Billy? Oh dear good to heard from you, how was the test? It was today right? Did you pass? Did you got a cute PokePon or a cool one?" Tell me!".

"Calm down Mom, yeah, the test was today and we all passed, I got a Twilight Sparkle, I named her Twilie".

"Oooh is that a unicorn? She must be cute!".

"Yeah she is but more than that she's very smart, ah also we got PokePon eggs, I got a dragon egg and another girl got a siren egg".

"Oh my, a dragon egg is not something easy to take care off".

"Yeah? Gramps mentioned something like that"

"Did he now, and how did he treat you?".

"Eh, ok, I guess".

A heavy sigh escaped the woman in the phone. "Billy, we talked about this, if your Gramps is been an ass you need to let me know, he may be famous and wealthy but he's an idiot for not appreciate the family that he got, honestly, he believes himself high and intelligent but just tell him that he's not getting his favorite food and he'll cry like a little girl".

"Have patience dear, I'm sure that with time he'll be back to be the old Gramps that used to paly with you all day".

"I hope so Mom, I miss that".

"Oh, I know, why don't you take his dinner to him, I saved some of his favorite stew from last time, I'm sure he'll be happy to get some before I get back home".

"Will you back before the weekend?".

"Of course sweety, no way I missing my son departure to become PokePon Master, hm, unfortunately I don't think that your father will make it in time, his work just got an extra load".

"Did something happened?".

"Kind of, it probably will make it to the news in a few days but it will be big and bad".

"Oh".

"Yes, bit enough of that, go now, you'll find the stew inside a red plastic container, take it to him and tell him to heat it up for 10 minutes in the stove, I'm sure his mood will improve when he get it in his belly".

"Will do Mom, thanks".

"No problem dear, don't come back late by playing with Muffins, ok?".

"No Mom, I need to keep an eye on my etc after all"

"Good boy, now then goodbye Son, love you".

"Love you too Mom, take care".

"You too Champ". The line went silent after that, Billy out the phone back and found Twilie observing him attentive.

"That was my Mom, you'll meet her soon, now then, wanna go for a night walk?"

"Twi Twi!". The lavender PokePon jumped enthusiastically.

POKEPON LAB, YURTOWN...
Professor Dickson waited patiently for the Microwave oven to finish with its job, his Muffins resting loyalty close while munching on a small mango, her face already painted yellow.

"You know Muffins dear, the only important thing my good for nothing Son has ever done was married Anette, that lass knows how to keep you fed and clean, almost like my dear Willomina. But instead of keep close to her and enjoy her the moron gets the job that keeps him as far away as possible". The old man chastised.

"Do do, doooo!".

"The kid? Hmm, yeah that too, I gue- (Ching!) Oh, food is ready". Dickson got up from his chair after the oven ringed.

"I know I should have asked for something to eat while she was gone, now here I am, eating frozen food like a loser". Muffins moved the remains of her mango toward him with his muzzle.

"Haha, thanks dear but you know I don't like mango that much, I-".

"You prefer kiwi right?". Asked a polite and sweet voice, the old man almost got a heart attack when his eyes set sight of the majestic creature in front of him, a white PokePon as tall as his Grandson from hoof to the tip of her horn, her entire fur and feathers white like the pure snow, her mane flowing with astral wind, 4 colors adorned it, finally her eyes were a light magenta, the more imposing fact of her was the horn and wings, no PokePon had those two characteristics together.

"Celestia!". The human almost spat the words like poison.

"Not Tia anymore? Hm Zack?". Asked the white PokePon.

"Don't joke, that name is as dead as you are to me".

"Such bitterness, Hello Muffins, it's been a while hasn't be". The Ditzy Doo smiled timidly and nodded but slowly moved closer to her owner. "Still as loyal as ever I see".

"Loyalty? Sound funny coming from your muzzle, now then I know you didn't showed up just to remain me of my favorite fruit, what do you want... 'Princess'? Asked Dickson with a huge load of mockery.

"You're right, as you like to be, I came here today to warn you".

"Ha! Let me guess, the prophecy you wanted me to believe is about to unfold, is that it?".

Celestia's smile fell. "I see you are no closer to believe me now that you did all those years back".

"Why would I? You spit nothing but the very essence I swore to get rid off from the world, myth and fantasy, the very reason why you betrayed me and make me the laughing stock of the research community!".

"I thought that maybe the years would soften your heart, but it looks like you are too far gone, it was my hope that we could reconcile and work together for the benefit of both of our kinds".

"Hahaha! For our benefit? You want to take PokePon away from people! Our very companions from centuries!".

"Companions? You mean your slaves? Your pets? Your entertainment? We are anything but equals! You treat my kind like another aspect of life that need to be explored and experimented upon, you... Argh! Even after all this years you haven't forgiven me one bit".

"Forget yes, forgive? No, you let me in front of the world to be laughed and ridiculed, when I told the world that PokePon could go beyond what we originally believed, what we dreamed of, you left me alone, with no proof of my claims, it took me decades to redeem myself, decades! Meanwhile my wife became sick, my only Son became so embarrassed of me that he rejected to follow my steps! Then Willomina passed away, my promise... broken... All thanks to you! You... and your 'prophecy'. So forgive me if I'm still hung up on that, or not, I. Don't. Care!".

Celestia watched the man carefully as he regained his composure. Her body rigid, she was powerful, but humans were resourceful and no one more that Zack Mike Dickson, she knew because she travelled with him for years while healing and looking for her sister. " What about your Grandson? What has he done to deserve your hate".

"What?". Dickson asked shocked, even the pegasus next to him reacted at her question.

"Billy, isn't it? I happen to see him once while traveling, I thought that my eyes were going bad when I saw him and thought it was you, I observed him for a while, still confused until his mother call for him and said his name".

"Did you...? Did he saw you?".

"No, of course not, but what I saw in him did make me want to introduce myself, he has your wonderlust, your creativity and smarts, more than that, he has a heart, so I wonder? What could he possibly do to earn your hate".

"Shut up! Shut up you... Don't dare talk about him, do not dare approach him! You're not gonna turn him into a follower like you tried with me or I'll rip your wings and horn with my bare hands!".

Celestia froze in place, her mind trying to cope with his sudden outburst, was not hate what he felt from the child, then why was he so... It clicked like a piece of domino. "My! You do not mistreated him out of hate! You are doing it out of-".

"Shut up! Don't pretend to understand me, I do what I have to do for his future, good intentions aren't always rewarded with the same, you showed me that long ago".

Celestia smiled for the second time but this one wasn't bitter like the former." I though you didn't care about anything anymore but I was wrong. Please! Help me Zack, if not for us then for him, if my sister awakes and see the current world she will declare war on humanity and she will turn PokePon against it, we can save both of our species".

"Let's pretend here that I believe you, then what follows after? The same thing you told me last time?".

"Unfortunately yes, I believe humans and PokePon can't coexist in the way that its needed, either you keep controlling us and nothing change or PokePon will revolt by itself, I don't see a way in the middle".

"Then the answer is no and never, if you don't have more nonsense to talk about please leave and come back in never years".

Celestia released a heavy sigh. "My sister may awake in any of the upcoming eclipses of this year, when it happen she will command the rest of the PokePon to fight off humanity".

"I don't want to heard more nonsense from you, you didn't convince then and you won't do it now, plus my burrito got cold thanks to your incessant blabbering".

Celestia finally snapped. "Fine! Keep acting like an idiot you old geezer! You may not have the open mind to listen but... Maybe, someone form the new generation will, maybe even your-".

"I told you to shut up! And I warned you about getting near my Grandson!". The old man turned to his companion. "Muffins! Get rid of this pest!". The Professor moved to a control panel near the wall and pulled down in the level, soon a rumbling sound came to life and the ceiling opened up revealing the midnight sky.

The gray pegasus looked conflicted as she was ordered to fight against a former friend, even if the command came from her owner and first friend. "You not need to listen to him Muffins, he doesn't control you like he thinks, you are free to follow your own path". Celestia spoke softly to the smaller PokePon who seemed more tormented.

"She wants to take you away from me and my family". Celestia never saw her coming, as soon as Dickson finished speaking a gray missile charged with lighting hit her square in the chest. Luckily for her, there was nothing behind her that could add up to the damage she suffered, after a brief moment she got her voice back."you! Muffins, why would you attack me?".

"Do do doooo do do!".

"It is necessary, we have been denied our true place for too lo-Argh!". Celestia was ready for a second attack but she still couldn't believe Muffins would attack her so ruthlessly. "Muffins stop this instance!". The gray mare refused and Celestia was forced to take fly. "We aren't finished Zack! The moment will come when you realize your mistake and then you'll have no choice but to help me!."

"Sure, until then you better fly far and fast Princess, Muffins, use *Zapper*". The younger PokePon obeyed again and used the move to cover her body in a coat of electricity, finding little room inside the lab Celestia used the open roof to escape outside followed close by Muffins in her charged state.

As flashes appeared and disappeared from view inside the lab, Professor Dickson took out a bottle of her favorite bourbon and with no trepidation took a swing at it, the distance sound of fighting diminished as the two PokePon moved farther away. Half an hour and a full bottle of bourbon later Muffins returned, the small pegasus was beat up and her body was all covered in a few burns.

Seen her the old man quickly dropped the empty bottle and pulled out his cuve. "Damn it Celestia, she didn't hold back, come here sweety, you did good, more that good, I'll have your special muffins ready when you wake up". By pushing the button in the middle the Cuve recalled Muffins back inside where she could rest while the nursing machine could heal her.

The Professor activated the machine in the other room and let it do its job while he returned to eat something, when he entered the room he saw movement. "You came back for me you treacher-uh, oh it's just you".

"Oh, hm, did you have someone else here before?".

"Grh, someone obnoxious, what do you want? Shouldn't you be in bed by now? I don't want to hear mediocre excuses if you aren't here in time tomorrow!".

"I... I just brought this, Mom told me you may want it". Billy put down the container and stepped back to let his grandfather check it.

"Hm, Bless that woman, she can almost read my mind".

"Who was it? The person that was here before".

"Kid, I don't have the patience to deal with you right now, better go back, your PokePon needs rest too".

"Fine! Good night Gramps". Billy took Twilie in his arms again and left in bad mood, the last word still hanging in the air.

"Good night Billy, good night Tia, good night Muffins". The old man rested back in his chair just reminding the past.

Outside and hidden in the shadows Celestia was literally licking her wounds the fight with the Ditzy Do had been vicious and although Celestia knew she was stronger she couldn't deny that Muffins was a formidable PokePon, her set of moves had been carefully chosen to take down opponents with a superior stat, her moves caused huge damage at the cost of self harm but because her special ability this was avoided completely.

Still, Celestia won but she was worried for her so she followed her to the lab to make sure she would be alright, before taking fly the door to the Lab was opened and closed.

Celestia saw the kid, Zack's Grandson walk out with a Twilight Sparkle in his arms, the boy was older from the last time and the way he got out told her that another confrontation may have occurred. "The boy seems different, he treats PokePon more like friends it seems... maybe... I should keep an eye on him". Celestia took flight once more, she would prevent a war between her kind and humanity and she would do it without fail, even if she had to turn her former human friend into an enemy.
