DAY ONE...

Billy watched as his mother pulled out a rectangular piece of plastic from a box his Grandfather left before leaving to Thatcitie. Next she took out another chunk of plastic, an old device used along the first one.

Anette took both things and plugged the bigger one with the TV, she bummed while connecting the right cords in the right place, by this point Billy asked already twice to help her but she told him just to seat down in the sofa and wait.

" And you say you guys used to record stuff in this things? ". Billy asked as he took another black plastic rectangle from the box.

" Yes, believed or not there was a time when Cellphones didn't exist, so listening to music, watching videos, recording events and making calls needed one device each, and this one was for videos ". She finished tampering with the TV and the ancient device and huffed in approval. She walked to the sofa and turned the TV on. " Now, behold! The VHS! ". She presented the mysterious Gizmo.

The TV's screen came to life in white, then the familiar voice of his Zack Dickson was heard. " Is this thing on? ".

" I think it is Zachary, the little red light is blinking, that's a good thing right? ". Came a female voice that Billy never heard before but his mother seemed to know for the way her eyes widened.

" I asked you and your answer is another question? Why did I even hired you? And stop calling me Zachary! ". Billy couldn't see either his Grandpa or the lady talking but for the tone of the voice he could tell that the video was old, pretty old, the fact that the video was recorded in such old device should be proof enough.

The camera focused and a huge PokePon arena, the murmur of fans of the sport could be heard better now. Right in the center there were two trainers about to duked out. " Ok, focus the camera correctly, I want those moves recorded when the PokePon use them.

A booming sound echoed through the arena. " Welcome lads and Ladies, today we bring you the match of the century! The best trainer on this side de of the state, our local champion and role model to follow is present to defend his title, we have for you, Eric Brand! ". The people roared to the name, the state champion waved for the people, he was probably 6 or more so years older that Billy. " And in the other side, his opponent, the lady that conquered the league and rose above all, the League champion, Lads and Lasses, we have the Challenger, Paola Hammerly! ". If the people was elated before now they went nuts, the fans applauded and yelled the name over and over again. The League champion was a tall woman with a strong built, she was tanned and had short white hair. She reacted to the ovations simply rising her left fist.

" Now people, the moment you have been waiting for, let this match, begiiiiin ! ".

There was no word exchange of words between both champions, they just ordered they PokePon forward, it was then that Billy noticed that the PokePon were outside, not inside CUVEs.

The two PokePon were completely new for the boy, he had never seen this kind, the one used by Eric was a huge earth pony, bigger that anyone he had seen until now. The other trainer, Paola, used a snake type, large but not as big as a dragon type, it had a set of small wings on her back but Billy doubted that they were strong enough to make the PokePon airborne.

The match that followed was another surprise, the arena was completely open, there wasn't anything that could give either PokePon an advantage but that made the match more strategic. Another thing that Billy saw was that both trainers ran along their PokePon, not engaging so close as to get in the way of get injured in the crossfire but they would move around the field, changing angles, Paola seemed specially affective in this as she even kneeled and/or would try to imitate some of the moves herself.

The battle was fluid and smooth, yet sometimes it would turn chaotic, specially when both PokePon went for close quarter combat. " I seem to have heard of this battle before, the Crossroad Tournament if I'm not mistaken ". Anette said watching the match carefully.

" Crossroad Tournament? Never heard of that before ". Billy said as the match was getting pretty even for the PokePon.

" It wouldn't surprise me since it was even before I was born. When I was a kid I saw the last of the Crossroad Tournament before been replaced with the Gym System. Basically, before having gym around the country trainers would first compete for a regional title and later for the shot at the League champion ".

" Wow, that sounds pretty complicated ".

" Oh you have no idea son, suddenly there were like hundreds of champions all around and every single one wanted the challenge the League champion since it was the most prominent title you could get, the poor guy who had the title was pretty much a wanted person, that girl in the video probably was challenged day after day ".

" That's worse that I thought, didn't she got a break or something? ".

" I think she could deny a certain amount of matches and within the city she was residing she could pick the matches she wanted but this was eventually dropped because fans wanted to see her battling the best trainers always ".

" That's pretty rough, but with this I can see how the PokePon Trainers Federation had changed through time, is this what Grandpa wanted me to see? ".

" Maybe, this is the first step of your trainings right? ".

" Yeah, he told me to watch this... how did you call them? Tapes, yeah this tapes and learn what I can while my back gets better ".

" And what's your little friends doing meanwhile? ".

" Oh, you haven't seen them? Let's go to my room ". Billy and his Mother went to his room and he opened the door for her to see. Inside was Twilie using her horn's magic to place a little ball inside a small plastic cup, on the other side was the red colt Macintosh trying to remain upright while a front hoof and one back hoof were inside a roller skate.

" Oh my God, they look adorable, what is all this? ". Anette asked almost bursting in laughs.

Gramps's idea, he said that Twilie needs to learn to better conserve energy while using attacks and Macintosh need to control his movements better, and that I need to learn old ways of training ".

" Hmm, it does make some sense, ok then keep working but overstretch yourselves, I'll call you when lunch is ready ".

" Thanks Mom ". Billy approached his little friends. " You guys want to have a break? Why don't you come with me to the living room to watch a movie ". The two ponies agreed and followed, once there Billy and company continued watching the video, after some hours they went outside to walk around the house, showing Macintosh the parts of the city near it.

After a while they came back for lunch and continue with their respective training regiment, at the end of the day, Twilie and Macintosh were tired so they fell sleep like rocks immediately but Billy couldn't. His mind was still absorbing all the information he got from the old tapes. " The old form of coaching a PokePon seemed completely based on observing from different angles, maybe that was the way to do it when PokePon are completely evolved and moved too fast to command, yes! That most be it". Billy felt happy now that he understood what this part of the training was for and decided to check more videos the next day.

DAY TWO...

For the second day, the training was the same, Twilie continued using her magic until she could control it better, Macintosh was still having problems with the skates but Annette took some time off to help him get a better sense of balance by showing him some tricks, all the while Billy watched a couple of new videos.

The videos again we're recorded by his Grandfather and the unknown girl, while the camera would sometimes focus on Zack, the female operator would remain out of view. The next few videos he saw revealed more things that the trainers from back then did different from the ones now. For starts, the number of maximum PokePon a trainer could carry with him at all time was 3 instead of the current 6 allowed now days, that change would seem came about with the creation of the Cuve.

Transportation most have been another issue, another thing that the actual League had different was a time limit for battles, this was however only for the 6v6 matches.
As Billy was watching the 4th film of the day finally something happened.

" Zachary? Why are you filming here? There's no battle ". Said the woman from all the videos. The girl had copper colored hair, she was slim and quite tall, almost as tall as the young Dickson in the recordings.

" Ha! Payback for all the recordings you do of me, besides, I want to make sure you're not messing this up ". Zack said while the screen changed as he pressed buttons effects in the camera.

The girl giggled back. " Really? I thought that the whole reason as to why did you hired me was because of my expertise in filmography, that, and the little crush you have on me ".

" Wha- What the fuck are you saying you moron! Like I would have a crush on a simple minded girl like you! ". Dickson yelled at the top of his lungs but Billy heard a different time in him that he only heard when he was been berated by Anette.

" Oh Zachary, you look so cute when you stutter, makes me want to hug you! ".

" Hug this you bitch! Consider yourself unemployed, I can do this by myself! Even a half trained Doodle Dinky can operate a camera, you think I can't do it, you'll see ".

" Ok Zachary, I'll go back to the hotel, just knock on my door if you need me, later! ".
The girl walked away, her figure still been recorded by the camera as she left.

" And don't fucking call me Zachary! Is Zack! Just Zack! ". He heeled but the girl only waved at him without turning around or showing anger.

" Why the fuck did I bring her with me? She doesn't even have a PokePon, shit! ". The camera focused in a few trainers doing battle in some arena. The quality of the recording was horrible, the lent was off focus and the angry ranting of the future professor could be heard the whole time.

" Arrrgh! The fuck am I doing? I can't get this shit to work properly! But... No! No way I'm asking for help! If she thinks I'll go and beg her for help she's more stupid that I thought, but... Well, she has a nice ass, and her beautiful hair, what? Is this thing still recording? Fuck! Maybe I can still catch her before she gets back, but first, have to erase this shit, no way I'm leaving this here, is this button? No, maybe this one? Oh fuck this! Mina! MINA! MIIIINAAAA! WAIT FOR ME! ". The recording finished.

" Mina? Wait! Was that... Grandmother Willomina? ". Billy wondered, his eyes scanned above the TV where the family portraits were, there was many pictures, pictures from both his mother and father's side of the family, many members, more from his mother side that the other, but one person was missing, always missing, his Grandmother. He knew that his father had some pictures in his room but those were to remain there and not placed outside, Billy saw them just barely enough to remember how she looked. She never met her since she passed away before he was born.

Billy looked for another cassette but he didn't felt like playing it. Instead he went to his room and took his PokePon including his egg and went outside to clear his mind from the family affairs.

DAY THREE...

For the next day of training, his grandfather left him some dumbbell lifting while memorizing PokePon names and moves associated with same d PokePon. Meanwhile Macintosh was now practicing with all four roller skates, Twilie for her part was now launching darts against a plank, the plank had marks that she needed to hit in certain order. She seemed determined to do it.

Billy used the training also to check how his back was doing, he tried to mix things with by walking around the house imagining how to better give commands without have to announce them, strategies and preemptive plans were good and all but when push came to shove having a secret move or two was better, and even better was if you opponent didn't know what you were planning.

After lunch Anette told Billy that they needed to go back to the hospital for a check up which Billy completely forgot, he took his PokePon and went straight for it doing small talk along the way.

" Mom? ".

" Yes Billy? ".

" Hm, was, Was my Grandmother the girl in the videos? ". Anette didn't answer the cut away giving Billy confirmation indirectly.

" Yes, she was the girl there, I never saw pictures or videos of her when younger but I could recognize her almost immediately, she was the only person that would call your grandpa Zachary ".

Billy kept quiet while thinking about his second question, in front of the Dicksons both Twilie and Macintosh were playing a little game of tag. " I know that she passed away before I was born, but... I don't know how it happened, Dad almost doesn't talk about it and Grandpa never does. Was... Was it bad? ".

Again Anette took some time to answer. " Unfortunately, it was. When your Grandfather was younger, he got in troubles with the research community by declaring some wild theories about PokePon evolution and their real purpose in life, he said that he had proof of his claims but at the end he didn't have anything to show for so the other researchers that were jealous of his previous findings used this to humiliate him and call him crazy, he lost a ton of support and to make things worse, around this time
Willomina got sick pretty bad ".

Anette kept quiet while they walked near some other people from the town, after they were far enough she continued. " Your father was also affected by this incident, he was bullied by other people and called the son of the crazy Dickson. Things simply escalated from there, there was also financial problems affecting the family which made worse the situation for Willomina ".

" Finally when things seemed to get better your Grandmother passed away, this caused a bigger rupture between Zack and your father who blamed her dead on Zack, your father even end up chasing another carrier to distance himself from Zack even more, the rest, well you see where we are now ".

" How come I never heard of this, and is this why Grandpa changed with me? Does he think that I hate him too? ".

" No! That's not the reason, if it was, then I would have smacked some sense into that old goat myself, no Billy, I think that Zack has another reason, one he believes is correct. About your first question, is not easy to explain that kind of things to a little kid, feuds between family members are always a delicate thing, specially around the kids, however, you have matured faster that anyone thought so that's why I'm telling you all this now since you asked ".

" I'm doing it mostly so you don't feel like you're responsible in any way, and maybe, if possible, so we can fix this situation ". Anette explained as they finally reached the Hospital.

" You, you think is possible? ".

" I do son, while there's still bad feelings between Roy and Zack there aren't as strong as before, proof and point is the fact that your father called Zack over for help and he accepted, it may be a small chance that this will change things right away but it could be the beginning, don't you think? ".

" I think so ".

" Now, I don't want this to deprive you from your actual goal Billy, you want to become a great PokePon trainer and I would be happy if you managed to fix this family, but your dream comes first, ok, be the best person you can be, and be PokePon or person, they will follow you, I'm sure ".

" Thanks Mom, I appreciate that you are telling me this ".

" No need son, this was bound to come out sooner or later, but I'm glad I'm the one telling you, now then let's get this done and we can pass for some ice cream on our way home, how about you two, you too want ice cream? ".

The two ponies looked curious by the offer. " Is cold and sweet food, it's awesome! ".
The two nodded with wonder, just by hearing the young boy calling it awesome, both PokePon by now came to recognize what the boy called awesome as something really good or tasty.

" Well, I say you young man are almost ready to go in adventure, now then, I'm not saying go out and do crazy stuff, no, but medically speaking you're almost there chad ".

" So, in other words, Billy is clear of the injury now, right? ".

" Correct Ma'am, just for two or three more days to get some energy back into those bones and you can run all the way to Thatcitie! By the way please don't do that ".

" O-kay? ".

" That's the spirit Chad! Now on to my next patient! ". The doctor said while rushing for the next room.

" Mom, should we check with other doctor? ".

" Yes son, I heavily agree ".

After getting another opinion, they left the hospital. As promised in the way home, the family stopped by an ice cream shop and bought one for each. " Ok, Twilie, Macintosh, I present to you, ice cream! For Twilie, mint chocolate flavor, and for Macintosh, hm, you look like a fruit flavor PokePon, how about... mango! ". Billy pleased two plates over the floor for the PokePon to eat.

The moment the two tasted the cold dessert it was like magic, they didn't know what or how did the humans came to such creation but they knew it was indeed awesome. Before long the two finished their scoop and were almost begging for more.

" Sorry guys, I know is delicious but I would go for too much ice cream unless I want a stomachache, we can get some more later if you want and even try new flavors! ". Both nodded in agreement.

Coming back from the little trip, Billy and his two companions resumed their training, after some time Billy stopped to take care of his egg, he took the egg out of the backpack and placed it over the table to clean it up, while it wasn't dirty it was still recommended to look for chips on the shell or irregularities, some eggs unfortunately were unable to hatch due to some of those irregularities, like small bumps on the shell, places were the temperature was too different, even stuff like the egg not producing enough nutrients while caring for the egg could end up in failure, the importance of checking every little detail and change was as much as the egg itself and Billy wanted his first PokePon egg too be born successfully.

The fact that his first PokePon egg was a dragon made it more challenging, but Billy was determined not to fail mostly for the egg's same. He kept the egg at the recommended temperature, free from humidity and safe from anything that could break it, his mother even joked that he was now a father himself.

After making sure the egg was in pristine condition he went to take care of Twilie and Macintosh. " Ok guys how do you feel about the training so far, feel different? ".

" Twi twi! ". Twilie jumped exited about her progress. " Oh, you think you got better, alright Twilie! Show us how good you have been training, will ya? ".

" Twi! ". The purple little PokePon ran to get her ball and came back, Billy was surprised when he saw Twilie use her horn's telekinesis to turn the handle and get inside. It looked like something unimportant but to do that without stopping it meant that she was doing it with the right amount of energy and accuracy making it look simple.

When Twilie was ready with the ball, she took a deep breath and started making the ball float, then she made the ball spin and move at the same time, her full attention was on the ball as she moved it back and forth, up and down, always keeping her eyes on the target.

" Wow! That's awesome Twilie, you're awesome! ". Twilie's cheek turned pink from her trainer's praise, which caused her to lose control over the ball which spun even faster and went flying back into the house.

" Aaaaaaah! Something fell inside the soup! ".

" Sorry Mom! We probably should continue this outside guys ". The two PokePon nodded and hurried to the patio. Once outside and with a new ball Twilie repeated the trick, now unperturbed by the human and unrestricted by the confines of the house she showed the full extent of her control, making the ball soar through the air like a rubber missile. Both Billy and Macintosh were speechless by the mastery that the little filly has reached. " Wow! ".

For the finale, Twilie called the ball to her and placed it in reach of her horn, focusing more power in the ball making it spin even faster in place, suddenly a blueish aura surrounded the ball. " What the? ". Billy felt a pull from the direction of the ball, his shirt and Macintosh's mane was been attracted by the centrifugal force.

Scared by the sudden development, Twilie cried out as the force broke free from her control, the aura covered ball surged forward at high speed and didn't stop or lost momentum until it hit the fence of the house with enough force to break a couple of wood planks from it.

After the unexpected demonstration of power both Billy's and Mac's Jaws dropped.
" What was that? ". Billy pulled out his Ponydex for the explanation.

*Kinetic ball*
Damage / Element type: Both / Variable.
A telekinetic attack that takes two turns and can be modified with one element. First, the PokePon creates a sphere absorbing any matter around, this cause a suction effect that can draw another PokePon closer, then in the second turn the sphere is released forward, dealing huge damage and elemental damage if one was absorbed in the sphere to one opponent and splash damage to nearby opponents, this attack leaves the user unable to attack for the next turn.

" Dang! This thing is powerful! Are you ok Twilie? ". His answer came as the little filly wobbled around completely dizzy, then she released her stomach's content on the ground. " I'll take that as a no ".

" WILLIAM J DICKSON! ". Anette angrily called from inside as she made her way to the patio. " What's all that noise? Ah! My!? My patio! My beautiful garden! What's just happened? You better have a good explanation for why is the patio ruined young man!".

Billy turned to his PokePon for an explanation and found one. " Uh? Trai-ning? ".

" And who give you the great idea of doing it on MY patio? ". Anette asked threatening to punch somebody.

" Uhm, Gramps? Yeah, it was him ". Billy lied.

" Is that so? Then it seems my dear father-in-law has a few things to fix when he comes back home, and you son, be more careful if you don't want to be the one to star fixing this mess ".

" Sure thing Mom, let's go outside of the house this time Macintosh ". Billy took the still dizzy Twilie and quickly made it out before his mother could figure out the true. Once outside, and with Twilie in better shape it was now Macintosh's turn to show that he could do now.

" Twi twi, Twiiii! ". Twilie jumped up and down very exited to see what her fellow PokePon could do.

" Alright Mac, hm, you don't mind if we call you Mac right? ".

The red PokePon looked mindful for a minute, he was never called anything else but what he was an other many insulting names, but this was a name picked by beings that were nice to him, it wasn't much different from name of his kind but at least it got a touch of meaning behind it so he accepted it.

" Eeyup! ".

" Nice, then Mac, you wanna try something, that training with the roller skates must have triggered something in you too, right? ".

The awful exercise with those nasty human shoes did show him something, to never put wheels on his hooves that it, but he had to admit that before that torturous labor he was more nimble in his legs, he had also gained more strength in his kicks and did have a better balance overall.

Still, he didn't knew what to do, what the little filly called Twilie did had been pretty impressive, he doubted he could perform something near that level, the fact that both the human kid and Twilie were watching him with anticipation didn't help, it actually made him more nervous.

Finally something came to his mind, in the magic box that the humans use to watch entertainment, he saw another PokePon perform something called ' Rodeo '. It seemed to be a sport created specially for PokePon of his kind so he thought he could imitate.

Getting his body ready, knees bended and head low Mac prepared for the moment, then he let his body rear back and forth, slow at the beginning but each time gaining more speed and reaching higher with his back legs until they were now practically kicks, he started turning with each jump, now looking exactly like the PokePon in the magic box the humans called TV, his kicks also gained speed and power, every time he retracted his legs at high speed a guts of wind would continue the abandoned trajectory, when Mac reached his top speed his kicks were practically making booms sounds like a cannon.

" That's awesome! ". Billy stood dumbfounded watching the colt produce such force that he pressed the scan button in his Ponydex without realizing.

*Buck Kick*
Damage / Element type : Physical / None.
A powerful double kick done with the back legs, high chance of making the opponent flinch.

" No way! That's brutal! ". As soon as Mac finished his number, another thing happened, the moment his front hooves landed with force, the area around them shook. Billy managed to remain standing but little Twilie fell on her rump.

" Was that? Another move? ". Billy for his answer when the Ponydex chimed.

*Quake*
Damage/ Element type: Physical / Earth.
A seismic attack that cause damage all around, allies included. It has no effect if the opponent/allie is floating or flying.

" You learned two moves in one go, that's-! ".

" Twi?! ".

" Eeyup?! ".

" Yes! Awesome! ". The trio started jumping in euphoria as the training paid off in such way. " Ok, seems you guys are much more stronger than before, I wish I could say the same about me but... Anyway, let's go back, it's almost dinnertime ". The two PokePon exchanged confused looks, but didn't argue about it and followed Billy.

DAY FOUR...

By this day Billy was making more exercise than watching the old tapes but he still would check one of two from the box, some he would check twice just to see if he missed something but he was sure he was almost done with them, the last tapes were more in with the current time, the rules and battle gimmicks had just slight differences with the current PokePon league. What they had in abundance was different coach styles from past trainers, some were very aggressive in their strategies while other didn't have one at all. Some relied in a single type of PokePon with varied elements while other would have a plethora of types for different circumstances. Many of the videos had the Champion Paola Hammerly on it.

All in all it was a head scratcher how some trainers managed to cope with that era. Billy played another tape, this one he already saw completely and offered not much, but he played it again for a special reason.

" What you doing Zachary? ". Asked Willomina as she was now the focus of his Grandfather's recording.

" Still trying to make this shit work! How the hell do you work with this shit ton of buttons and knobs? This is worst than that new project my friend and I are working on!".

" Oh you mean the Ponysex? ".

" What?! No you... It's called Ponydex! Ponydex and it will be Awesome! ".

" Hm, awesome... you like that word a lot do you? ".

" N-no, but when I use it it is the only word capable of fully describe it's importance ".

" Haha, I like that side of you, you're passionate about your things, that's good ". The girl seemed to lose a lot of her cheerfulness after saying that.

A long silence expanded between the two before the future professor talked again.
" Are you... Are you ok? You normally aren't this gloom, Mina? ".

" It's nothing ". She said as she turned her back to the camera, her hand moved to her face and some sobbing could be heard. " It's nothing ". She said again. Before the video could finish, a last image showed Dickson walking next to the girl and kneeling next to her.

Billy didn't know the meaning of that last part but for some reason it stroke a cord in him, it was weird for him to want to see more of the woman he didn't met? He didn't know, nor did he mind much, for him family was important, and in many ways his family was still fractured, but right now his journey was about to be decided, the final part of his training was tomorrow and if he didn't pass it he would remain stuck in Yurtown for another good amount of time.

" Alright, Twilie, Mac, is time ". Billy called both of his PokePon and went to look for his mother, be found her also getting ready to go out.

" Ok, your Grandpa explained to me what he wanted for the final day of training so we need to go outside of town. Are you ready? ".

" I'm ". Boy said after considering everything he had learned during those pass days.

" Good, your final exercise will be a battle, you'll face off against another trainer and if you defeat her that means you're ready ".

" A battle? Right now? Against who? ". Billy asked excited. A fire burning within.

" Calm down Son, first let's get outside of town, to the place where your class did the practice ". Billy nodded and after a few more minutes and some walking the family was in the training grounds.

Billy got a sense of nostalgia been back where he lost his last match but he was ready to battle whoever his Grandfather have chosen. " Twilie, Mac, get ready, the trainer should be here any second. Mom? When is my opponent coming? ".

Instead of answering, Anette walked to the opposing side of the area, she dig up inside her purse and pulled out two CUVEs. " Mom? ". Billy asked confused about her action, but in the back of his mind an answer was forming to all his previous questions.

" I'm getting ready Billy, as you can see, your opponent will be me, Zack asked me if I could help you with a match and while I'm a bit rusty I think me and my PokePon could use the exercise so I accepted ".

Billy gulped, something that didn't escaped his two companions. " You are, my opponent? So, those two are? ".

" Yes, I asked my assistant to send me my PokePon last night through the Line, I hope she hasn't pampered them too much in my absence ". Anette held the two CUVEs expertly and threw them a few feet from her. " Go! Coco! Opal! ".

From the CUVEs, a pony and a cat emerged. The pony was a Coco Pommel, an earth pony PokePon with light ember coat and a two-toned cyan mane, she was wearing a
light purple neck tied with a red ribbon, when she saw where she was she immediately ran to her trainer and sat next to her with a smile.

Twilie and Mac watched the newcomer with curiosity, but not Billy, his eyes were glued to the other one, a white cat PokePon with purple eyeshadow and a matching ribbon holding a strand of fur at the top of his head. The cat yawned and stretched her back, she looked at the new place with a bored and snoobish expression, but the moment her eyes detected the young Dickson the cat went into a fit of hissing, her fur standing up and her claws at full display.

" Oops! I think Opalescence stills remembers you and what you did to her, hopes she doesn't get too wild ". Anette commented.

Billy simply took a step back, his eyes still watching the prissy white cat with terror.
" Oh crud! ".
