The morning came as always bringing new life to the world, new hopes and new challenges. For 5 teens this was also the beginning of their journey, the three girls and two boys and their respective PokePon listened as the professor give them final advise.

" Don't talk to strangers, if you didn't know that one you're morons and your parents are idiots. Don't assume every berry can be consumed or you'll know what the ' vengeance of Moctezuma' really means. Never disclose your bank account information or agree to join a cult and finally, just for fun, once in a while, while traveling in the wilderness, before calling the night leave a slice of cake, it doesn't matter what kind as long as it is a cake, outside and filled up with something spicy or better yet, full of laxatives and if you're lucky, you'll hear a mysterious voice cursing my name over and over again, it's really fun ". The professor said with emphasis.

" Finally, know the importance of this your first step towards your goal, at the end of the day, whatever you want to be a researcher, a trainer or a performer or any other thing, treat your PokePon well, we humans decide to be shitty persons with one another because we're humans but PokePon are different, they don't know politics, they don't know social status, they don't know money or the art of backstabbing, for that they are already better that us so don't be a bunch of douchebags be nice to them".

" Last things, as you are well aware by now, Blue had a nasty encounter of the bite kind with a wild PokePon, let this be a lesson for you all, never wonder too far from roads or urban zones, and if you absolutely have to do it, don't go alone or with weak PokePon or you'll end up like Blue in a hospital bed or worst, now then , any questions? ". Rosemary and Harold tried to ask.

" Any smart question? ". Jenet put her hand up. " Yes? ".

" Any route in particular that we should take? ".

" Ah, that's entirely up to you, but in most cases trainer go to Thadcitie to obtain Cuves and supplies if you're not ready yet, from there on there's many options, you can try on the gym leader there or move through the skirt of the mountain, you can even take the speed train and go to Nohobo City as well, plenty of options ".

All the teens nodded in understanding. " A word of advice, if you decide to go to Thadcitie then watch out for PokePon criminal groups, they use PokePon for nefarious activities and are a general pain in the ass for the police so try to stay clear from their sight ". The kids took note of that last piece and f info. " Now now, no more waisting around, go wild, I free you from the chains of society that restrains your prime instincts, let this day he forever marked in your puberty ridden minds and be from now on unleashed from the false concepts of ignorance, explore, encounter and experience! ".

With fire burning in mind and heart the teens screamed at the top of their lungs as they took their own way toward their future while the professor went back to his chair and took out a huge cigar and a small bottle of his favorite liquor to celebrate that he was free.

" Do, do Doo! ".

" Yeah, awesome speech, I know, I should record it and sell it for moral support material ".

" Doo ". Answered the gray mare with a deadpan expression.

" Of course I didn't forget to buy them, what you think I'm? An idiot?! Tch! ". Muffins kept her unimpressed gaze on him. " Oh shit! I forgot! I forgot to give them the condoms! Oh damn! You, you think that they'll keep their pants on? I mean they're just fifteen, is not like sex occupy the top of their minds, right? ". The PokePon didn't answered. " Shit! Who am I kidding, they're gonna hang before the day is over! Better contact my lawyer Thomas and see if those parents can sue me for early grandchildren".

The professor reached for his phone but not rang before he could touch it. " Yes? ".

" Hey old man, good to hear you alive ". Said the voice in the other side of the line.

The professor almost chocked. " What do you want brat? Did you got tired of playing with guns and badges already? ".

" Hello to you too Dad, I'm fine, thanks for asking, how are things back home? ".

" You got some nerve calling me directly brat, and... I suppose you already heard about your son didn't you? ".

" Yes, Anette told me, I'm waiting for a chance to speak with him yet ".

" So why did you call me then? Are you going to blame me for what happened? ".

" Of course not, Billy is mature enough to know what can happen if he goes to the outside unprepared, if he was injured I believe is for something beyond his control and I have the feeling you think the same, Timberwolves don't hunt so close to the cities, much less follow s human inside the city ".

" He's still a kid Roy, he could have made a mistake you know ".

" Ha! Like you believe that, between you and me we drilled too much caution and awareness into that boy, Anette told me he was accompanied by two PokePon and you now better than me how rare are timberwolves around Yurtown ".

The older man nodded. " So then what do I own your call? ". The professor asked with annoyance heavy in his tone.

" Dad can we have a serious conversation without going for each other's throat for once? This is important, as is the reason why I asked for the graduation to be delayed ".

" Hmm, fine, explain ".

" Thanks, we're currently working on a case, a very strange one, from a few weeks back we have been getting reports of various PokePon acting weird, as in either scared for no reason or completely disoriented, while this was not much really into our area, it became so when PokePon belonging to criminal groups started to act up as well ".

" Same symptoms? ". Asked the professor now curious.

" No, not at all, this few PokePon acted... independently ".

" You mean they weren't been ordered by a human? ".

" Exactly, they Rob several places during the period of three weeks, everything PokePon related, food, medicine and cuves ".

The last item had the professor really chocking this time. " Cu-cuves? For real? ".

" Everything recorded, proved and confirmed, Dad, this is beyond me, I have no idea what am I dealing with, how do I deal with a bunch of aggressive PokePon if I found them? Is this some isolated event or just the tip of the iceberg? More important, why is this happening? You are the only person I can ask about this ".

Dickson rested back in his chair, contemplating everything his son just told him, a dark and deep out was forming in his stomach. ' If my sister awakes and see the current world she will declare war in humanity and will turn PokePon against it '. Celestia's words echoed in his mind.

" You see the gravity of this? Would you help me? Dad? ".

" I... I-I need to think about it, this is... I need just a few days and I'll go and meet you at the city, will that work? ".

" Hm, if you come, it will, thanks ".

" Don't get all mushy on me, this is just another prove of my field been the superior one! ".

" Hm, sure thing Dad, I'll see ya in ages days, thanks again, say hi to Muffins for me ".

" Sure, sure ". Hanging up, Dickson felt like he was suddenly ten years older, his mind hammered by the situation, remembering the weird feeling Muffins got from the Timberwolf was also worrying, he needed to think, to calm his mind, he needs a drink, he took the bottle and took a huge swing at it and let the liquid burn his throat.

YURTOWN'S CLINIC...

After a horrible breakfast Billy tried to exercise as much as he could in the bed he was currently occupying, his mother would bring his PokePon in a couple of hours and if things marched well, he would be dismissed today near nightfall. A knock from outside changed his plans. " Come in! ". Billy called from the bed.

The door opened and a nurse accompanied by three of his friends walked in. " Now remember, not laud talking and be breed, young Dickson here has another check up in a few minutes, Billy, your mother allowed this friends of yours to see you, are you ok with it? ".

Billy watched to his former classmates and smiled. " Of course Miss nurse, I'm ok with it ".

" Very well, you have 5 minutes before the Doctor's turn ".

" Thanks! ". Harold said in a happy and loud tone that caused the nurse to scowl at him. " Sorry ".

" Hello guys, nice to see you ".

" We came as soon as we heard what happened but unfortunately you were out for that time, still, we wanted to see you before, well? You know ". Say the girl in pink.

" I understand and appreciate, Emma, Harold, Jenet, thanks for coming ".

" Daniel and Rosemary are here too but the nurse only allowed three of us at a time, they send their best wishes to you and hope to see you soon and we'll ". Emma said.

" I... Thanks guys, really, we didn't spend much time together but I consider each of you a good friend, I mean it ". Billy said to the three teens.

Jenet walked forward with a neutral expression. " Will you be up soon? ".

" I'm suppose to be discharged today but I'll need a few more days to heal and rehab maybe, but don't feel down for me, I'll be stepping in your heels soon enough, can't let the glorious class of Yurtown down from a simple tussle ".

" Tussle? Dude! I heard you rodeo mounted a freacking Chimera until it dropped tired!". Said Harold almost yelling.

" That's not what happened ".

" Oh, I heard that you single handedly bested a dragon into submission with a sleeper hold ". Said Emma thoughtfully.

" What? That's..? ".

" Really? I heard that you defeated a whole pack of Ursa minors with nothing but a stick and no breakfast ". Said Jenet unimpressed.

" Ok! That's not even remotely accurate! Who has been saying those crazy tales about what happened? ".

The three teens looked to one another until all three came with the same name in mind. " Rosemary ". All three said in unison.

" Why am I not surprised, anyway, it was just a Timberwolf that jumped me and Twilie while we were practicing out of town, we didn't get too far or too long when it came out of nowhere directly at us, it was crazy and scary, we almost didn't made it but another PokePon helped ".

" Oh, you mean the MacDonald? ". Asked Harold.

" A Macintosh, yes, we saw it briefly, it looks big and strong ". Jenet said.

" Pretty rare for a random PokePon to rescue a human out of nowhere ". Said Emma.

" Yeah, it surprised me too but I'm glad he did, otherwise I would have end up as a chew toy of that Timberwolf ".

" Oh man, now you have three PokePon! I lost the only advantage I had over you! ". Harold said while pulling his unruly hair up. Even the serious Jenet couldn't hold a laugh watching her friend's antics but the moment was interrupted when the Doctor entered followed by his trusty PokePon nurse Redheart.

" Sorry to interrupt the good vibes but I have to check on my patient, if you don't mind walking out for a minute ".

" That's ok doctor, we have to leave anyway, Hope we get to see each other soon Billy ".
Emma said smiling and touching his arm with her fingers.

" Yeah dude, I'm sure you'll be up in no time, then will battle again, the rematch of the century! ".

" Sure thing Harold ".

" Get well soon ". Jenet said simply.

" Will do, take care guys, say hi to the others for me will ya? ".

The three trainer agreed and left for their journey. " Good friends those lads, now then, follow my instructions and we'll have this done in no time ". Billy nodded.

Down in the lobby, Anette Dickson was saying goodbye to her son's friends. " Well? That takes care of that, now ". She turned around and took from her purse two Cuves, she threw them a few feet away from her and up came Twilie and the Macintosh, both looked disoriented at first. " Easy there, we're back in the hospital to see my son and your trainer, he'll be static to see you two I'm sure ". The woman said smiling.

Twilie reacted with glee and happiness, jumping up and down like Harold's Pinkie, on the contrary, the red colt seemed conflicted. His thoughts were interrupted when a hand started rubbing his mane. " No need to be nervous little one, once again thanks to you two for helping my Billy when he was in danger, you have my gratitude as well as my husband's, and you mister, if you don't feel like following my son don't worry about it, you can stay in the house or if you have a place that go we can help you get there fast and safe, just think in what you would like. Twilie? I'm glad Billy received such a nice and intelligent PokePon as partner, when we get the chance we'll prepare a place for you to sleep comfy, ok ? ".

The red colt listened and presented a shy smile. " E-eyup ".

" Ms Dickson? The doctor finished his evaluation, you can meet with your son now ".

" Thanks, alright I you two, let's ". It wasn't long before the three found themselves in front of the room, when the colt saw the human kid smiling and in almost good health some of the guilt he felt slipped away. " Hi Dear look who's here to see you too! ".

" Twilie! Come here girl! ". The little Twilight couldn't even wait, a jump on the bed and next she found herself exchanging hugs with her human trainer.

" Twi, Twi Twi. ". The little filly said almost crying.

" It's ok now, I'm ok , the doctor said so, and don't worry, you did pretty good, trust me". He focused next in the other visitor. " Hello there, Macintosh, I wanna to thank you for jumping to our aid, that's was pretty brave of you ". Billy extended his hand for the colt to shake, again, the guilt surfer up like oil in water.

" Come on little one, don't be shy ". Anette guided the colt to the side of the bed and once close he rose his hoof but froze when he was just inches away, then seen his hesitation the human boy changed the shake for a fist-hoof bump. The colt was stunned watching the odd interaction but understand its meaning, another for for humans to say thanks, stranger for him was the fact that more of his guilt vanished and was replaced with a certain need to pay the young human back, a sense of duty maybe.

" There, now we're buddies, you can come with us if you want or- ".

" That's ok Dear, I talked with him already, right now we only need to focus on your recovery ".

" Oh, ok I guess, I can't wait to get out of here and check my egg and... Uh? What am I suppose to do now? Do I have to go through training again? ".

" Let's wait until your Grampa explain, for now just rest, we just need to wait for the doctor's approval and we'll be home free ".

" Ok Mom, came on, stay in bed with us for a while ". The red colt did so but his position was stiff and awkward it was until Billy pulled him closer snuggling Twilie between him and the Macintosh. It was here that the colt found another new feeling, one that did make him smile, friendship.

DICKSON'S LAB...

The last test proven little information into the mystery of the Timberwolf attack, as expected of a wild PokePon, the subject was aggressive but not so much as to call it a monster, wild PokePon always became more passive after they were captured and placed in a Cuve, there was no explanation behind it, maybe just the fact that the wild animal knew that it was sheltered, fed, and cared was reason enough to downsize it's wild instincts. The more submerged researchers of this mystery suggested that the space-time dilatation produced when a PokePon was absorbed by a Cuve caused a subtle but unavoidable change in the PokePon's brain make it more docile, whatever the case, the results were the expected ones, after been captured and zapped by Muffins, the Timberwolf was now docile enough to have around, the wooden PokePon had still it's wild side, but now it could be used by an experienced trainer as a fighter or simply used as a companion if the trainer feed it accordingly, with time and enough care it would become obedient enough to obey commands and use in battle.

The more important test was the one that came out clean, the Timberwolf was not drugged, not signs of malnutrition, abuse, or any other explanation for its over aggressive behavior. Another PokePon could have used *Taunt* on it but even the strongest minded PokePon couldn't provoke such state of rage, which meant that there were no clear explanations, only theories and speculations.

" Well? Big waist of time in my part, but...I guess I'll need to go in order to confirm whatever is happening over there, what do you say Muffins? Wanna go for a trip? ".

" Dooo! ". Muffins replayed with happiness and soon it went to fetch her favorite things for travel.

" Not yet my Dear, we still need to do something about the kid, a few extra days of exercise wouldn't be bad, it would prepare him if he runs into ' you know who' . I don't trust Celestia into giving up just because I warned her, if anything she will be more motivated to make contact with him, gotta get the white butt princess off of him ".

" Do do? ".

" Of course she will! Have you forgotten how she acted when we first met her? Celestia is too smart and the kid is too kind, if she say that helping her will bring world Peace he would throw himself in a my danger she recommends him. No! I won't allow it! ".

" Now then, let's get ready, the boy will be in home by now ". Dickson told Muffins as he prepared the last touches of his plan to solve the problems with the white Alicorn.

DICKSON RESIDENCE...

" I'm glad you're fine Son, but please be more cautious from now on, oh! Speaking of that, what's up with your new friend, will he go with you? ".

" Don't know yet, Mom is using the Net to see if he belongs to someone nearby but she said that so far nothing came up, Mom said that he can stay here for a while or go with me ". Billy told his father Roy Dickson.

" I see, well, she knows better but it wouldn't be bad to have an extra companion in your journey. Heck, if I could, I would had let you take Shinny with you ". In the distance Billy heard the stallion PokePon agreed with the suggestion.

" Thanks Dad but you know how this is, if I take help from everyone I won't learn how to progress by my myself, is kind of the importance of the journey! ". Billy debated.

" I know but I worry still, anyway, you take those days to recover and I'll send you a little something for your journey, agreed? ".

" Sure Dad ".

" Good boy, now then let me talk with your mother before my time's up ".

" Ok, love you Dad ".

" Take care Champ! ".

After finishing, Billy went to his room where his PokePon friends were patiently waiting. When he opened the door he found an odd image, Twilie was busy teaching Macintosh how to play with a ball he left for them, she would push the ball to him with either a leg or using her muzzle but the colt didn't seem to understand the concept, he would shake his head or answer to her efforts with a ' Enope '.

It would have been a funny and cute scene except Twilie was losing her patient, not capable of getting through the Colt's baffled mind. " Hey guys, playing ball? ". The question was unnecessary of course but it was more to see if the colt would react to it.

He did, watching the ball again and scratching his head with a hoof, his expression still puzzled. He tentatively touched the ball again with a shy move move, a simple tap with the tip of his right hoof, the ball rolled toward Twilie and she responded jumping with glee, she returned the ball and again the colt took his time before repeating his previous action, still with a curious expression while Twilie smiled and giggled by herself.

" Billy? ". Asked Anette entering In the room. " Everything ok? ".

" Yes Mom, just... something curious is going on here ".

Stepping around her son, Anette saw the ball game between the filly and the colt. " He doesn't look like liking the game but he's still returning the ball ". Anette watched with experienced eyes and soon recognized the response of the colt for what it was.

" Is not that he doesn't like it Billy, the problem is that Macintosh doesn't know that is a game ". She kneeled next to the red colt and took a good look at him, his hooves, mane neck legs and even his teeth. When she was sure of her finding she stood up. " Have you scanned him using your Ponydex? ".

" Not yet, let me try ". Billy went to his desk and took his device out and scanned his target.

' Macintosh, the Calm PokePon. Macintosh are well know for their passive nature and strong bodies, it takes extreme factors to enrage him but this is pretty rare. Due to those characteristics Macintosh are often used more as labor animals that for anything else, this as caused a wild spreed of mistreatment among his kind forcing the PokePon Association of Safety and Fair Treatment ( PASFT ) to act with severe hand against those who abuse him.

" Wow! Do they? Do they really use abuse him that bad? ". Asked Billy shocked.

" You don't know that half of it boy ". Said the voice of his Grandfather.

" Ah! I see you didn't lose your keys this time Zack ". Anette said saluting his father in law.

" Four times is not all the time Damn it! Anyway, as naive as I thought you were you surely know that there's a bunch of assholes out there who don't care about PokePon as long as they make enough bucks to buy more if one or two pass out of die from overwork ".

" Language Zack! ".

The old man ignored her warning and focused in his grandson. " O-Of course I have heard of PokePon mistreatment, but to the point of killing them? That's just... That's inhumane! ". Billy said with a ferocity that even his mother has never seen.

" Oh no kid, that's pretty human, mess up but human nevertheless, we are that kind of being after all, regardless, let this be a lesson to you, if you are thinking that your journey will be just catching and running, you're very very wrong kid, you'll come across one or more idiots who think that hurting PokePon is ok and if you're gonna stand in their way you better be ready to dispatch some pain ".

" I- I will, I mean... I-If I have to ".

" Oh, trust me on that one, you'll need to, for that reason I have special training for you kid ".

" Zack! Billy just came back from the hospital ". Anette protested.

" I know, I know, this is a special training with three parts, one soft while you recover, a mild one before you depart and the hard part will come in surprise, how's that? Want to take it? ". The professor asked smirking, Billy's answer didn't disappointed him.

" Of course! PokePon are friends and companions, more importantly, they are family! ".
The boy's loud proclaim moved something inside the red colt, an image of his own sisters lost somewhere in the world and he alone unable to find them, reason why when he stumbled upon an odd marking inside a cave came to him, when he touched the mark it started glowing, increasing with intensity every second, when the light became to bright, the cave turned white and in the next second disappeared with the mark as if it never existed to begin with, but then he heard it, weak first but day by day, the voice grew louder in his head, until it became like a second thought, the voice laughed and laughed, cursing a sister and the humans that trapped her for so long, then it spoke to him directly, told him of his sisters, how it could help him find them if he would obey to its every command, and so Macintosh end up in the road following hoping he wasn't crazy from sadness and that indeed the Voice was real.

Hearing the boy moved him, moved his heart, could this boy helping him too? Could this humans be trusted, could he be reunited with his sisters? Watching the little purple filly and the gray pegasus so happy with them, again he hoped, but unlike before, he didn't felt alone.

END OF THE CHAPTER 6.

* EXTRA BITS*

FAR FROM YURTOWN...

Two trainers from Yurtown were preparing to camp for the night, they were from an older wave from our original 6 and they were still in their journey to accomplish heir dreams, the two friends knew each other from childhood and we're now at the last steps before going to bed.

" Man, your Chilli gets better every time! ".

" Haha! Practice man, practice, that's all it takes, anyway, could you put the trash away please? There's something I need to do ".

" Please, tell me you're not gonna do that stupid thing again! ".

" You know it! ".

" Oh for the love of... why do you keep doing that? The Professor was trolling you when he told you to leave cakes filled with random stuff in the night Dude! And those other guys were lying to get you to do it over and over again, all you doing is waisting good cakes for this stupid joke! ".

" No Man, I'm sure the Prof wasn't lying, you'll see, one of this nights we'll hear the voice too, I'm sure of it ".

" Whatever dude, whatever, what did you put it that one anyway ".

" Eh? Laxatives ". His partner could only shake his head. After the altercation the two trainers went to sleep in their tent for the night, outside everything was lifted up, except for a foam plate holding a single slice of Coconut cream cake with 3 milks.

The night was clear and windy, carrying the sweet aroma of cake all around the camp, it was a delicious smell that could attract more that one creature, however, the PokePon around were well aware of the danger the humans represented, and yet, around the bushes, a white elegant being stalked the camp in total silence, and with light hooves, a testimony to her intelligence, but mostly, to her own weakness.

" Yes, I'm sure now, Coconut cream cake ". Celestia took another sniff in the direction of the dessert. " Tree leches ". Another sniff. " Fresh, untouched! ". Like a mindless zombie, the white PokePon moved shambling and rambling toward her target, a single purpose in her mind. As she approached, she took one last look around making sure she wasn't been detected, enhanced awareness proved her to be free of doing as she pleased, she moved closer, standing now next to the plate, towering over the delicious looking great left for her, almost slobbering now, Celestia reared her head to deliver a nose dive bite but just inches away memory kicked in.

" Wait! Wait, hold still Celestia, this could be another of those devil trainers dispatched by that old bastard, another agent send to make a fool of yourself! No! I won't fall for this one, hmmf! ". Celestia huffed in annoyance for what almost happened. " You underestimated me Zack, I'm beyond your tricks ". With head held high, the white Alicorn turned and walked away proudly.

Just a few meters away she suddenly stopped, her wings almost fully displayed to fly away. Her neck moved slightly to let the slice of cake get into her field of vision. " Maybe... Maybe is not a trap, maybe... maybe the human just forgot the slice outside, n-no Celestia, you mustn't! ". Finally settling her mind Celestia took air, but not 5 second later she landed next to the plate.

" A little bite couldn't bother anyone, right? ". Celestia licked her lips in anticipation and took a modest bite off the slice, the tip disappeared in her mouth and soon the sweet and rich flavor of coconut was playing with her tongue. " Delicious! The texture, the flavor, the sweetness! Is just divine! I must have more! ". Unable to contain her lust for the pastry she went down for the rest, enjoying every bite, the fluff, everything.

Once the slice was gone, Celestia rested over the ground with a dreamy expression on her face and caressing her belly with a hoof, she let out an unladylike burp that stirred the two campers inside the tent.

" Better leave before they wa-! ". A huge growl came from her belly forcing her to stop in shock, the shock broke when one of humans spoke from within the tent, she quickly assumed take off position when a second shake overtook her belly.

Inside of her stomach there was a nuclear reaction about to blow with no way to stop it, rather that lose any moment thinking, Celestia sprung into action and dashed for the bushes.

Behind her, the two trainers jumped out of the tent, armed with Cuves and flashlights to confront whatever beast growled at them. " I swear it sounded like a Mama Ursa! It was here just a few seconds ago! ".

" I don't see anything, wait... I can hear it, I can hear it! ".

" The Ursa? ".

" Not that, listen... ".

" CURSE YOU DICKSON! COURSE YOU AND THOSE DAMN TRAPS OF YOURS AND YOUR TRAINEE! I'LL GET YOU ONE DAY, I SWEAR! ".

Celestia's curses pierced the calmness of the night like a knife. " See? I told you we would get to heard the voice one night, man, I told you! ". His friend only nodded in awe as the mysterious voice continued throwing insults in English and other languages he never heard before.

Author's Note

Sorry for the delay, My wife got me a copy of Pokemon Sword and I have been dicking around with it.

I have to say, the game just blew my mind, as I mentioned before, the only Pokemon game I have ever played was Red Fire which was the first remake of the original, I know about the others and have see them here and there but never actually play them, so imagine my reaction when I get to see them in 3D, and they are out in the wild! And they get Godzilla sized! And they have new types, the heck is a dark and Fairy type? Why is there so many turtles now? One looks like a cross between Roger Rabbit and Christiano Ronaldo! Another one look like Panda JoJo! And the dog in the picture look like that wolf from Dark Souls 2! Somebody explain what's going on now with this game!!!!!

Ahem, anyway, thanks for reading, next turn is for BGFT, one or two chapters maybe, everyone seems to read this one but nobody like it apparently, ok then, until next time.
