Ren’s POV

Knock Knock Knock

“Ren! Ren!”

I sat up on my bed after hearing three light pounds on my room door. I groaned and called, “Hello?”.

"Ren! You’re going to be late for the Ponyville Days Pony of Ceremonies selection!" I heard Twilight's voice from outside muffle out as it came through the door.

That's a mouthful…

“Coming Coming...” I called as I changed into my clothes and opened the door to be greeted by all of my best friends…well…maybe not all of them.

"There you are." Twilight mentioned with a smile.

"Oh…yeah." I rubbed my head a little tiredly.

"Come on! We don't want to be late for the selection, do we? Who knows who going to get picked this time!"

"Uh, sure." I returned, not quite remembering what the whole ceremony was about again. Anyway, I followed Twilight out of the home-ship and towards Town Hall where we found all the others

"Wow!" Rainbow Dash suddenly exclaimed as she hovered in flight. "I can't believe how many ponies showed up!" She pointed out as we crossed the bridge to Town Hall. It was true. There were tons of other ponies gathering around, just like Winter Wrap only, only they weren't wearing any vests.

"I can!" Pinkie Pie added in excitedly. "I mean, finding out who the Ponyville Days pony of ceremonies is is a pretty big deal!"

"So what exactly does this.. Pony of Ceremonies do exactly?" Kaede asked Twilight.

"The Pony of Ceremonies gets to hold a large ceremony based on the theme that they decide for all of Ponyville." Twilight explained.

Oh.. so its' like they're celebrating Ponyville.. in a way. "Where's Rantaro and Nicole?" I asked, noticing the two missing from our group.

"Oh you know that dirty money grabber and psychic chick, off who knows where do God knows what." Jack replied.

"Oh look! Sarah came!" Carrie smiled, seeing a familair unicorn, Pikachu, Light Fury and Zoura coming towards us.

"Hello everyone." Sarah greeted.

"Hi Sarah, you're here for the Pony of Ceremonies too?" I asked her. Sarah nodded, "Just wanted to see who would get picked."

"Well good Private Gem, its nice for you to be out instead of being that room of yours all day." Skye stated. Sarah playfully rolled her eyes. As we joined in with the other ponies, Mayor Mare stepped up to the podium while three elder ponies sat at a table, one of them being recognized by all of us.

"Wait... Granny Smith? She's on the selection committee?" Mason questioned, flabbergasted seeing her.

"Who knew.." I added in the same tone.

"I didn't know Granny Smith was on the selection committee." Twilight mentioned.

"Of course she is." Applejack assured confidently. "Ponyville Days celebrates the founding of Ponyville, and she was right there." She explained as a little filly with a balloon had walked up to Granny Smith, whom pat the little filly's mane lightly.

Oh right.. she technically did help in the foundation of Ponyville.

"I'm glad the committee didn't automatically pick me so everypony gets a chance to see how great being me actually is!" Pinkie began to excitedly let herself go verbally, leaving upset frowns on everypony. "Even though the festival's basically a party and the pony of ceremonies gets to organize the whole thing! So it'd totally make sense if they did pick me."

"Shhh!" Everypony shushed her, as the event seemed to be starting.

"Citizens of Ponyville, this year's applicants were all exceptional, but there can only be one Ponyville Days pony of ceremonies." I looked to see who she could have been talking about, and I assumed it were the ponies that were…dressed a little…differently. "And that pony is..." Mayor Mare paused and looked at the selection committee as they talked quietly and eventually agreed on something…or somepony.

Pinkie Pie inhaled in a lot longer than anypony could actually take and then surprised me when she inflated herself and floated above us.

"What the…?!" I exclaimed quietly, being unable to believe what I saw.

"Pinkie.." Sarah used her magic to deflate Pinkie Pie and place the flattened pony on the ground... where she popped back up like that!

Granny Smith walked over to Mayor Mare and placed a slip of paper on the podium for her to see. The mayor's smile disappeared for a quick moment, as if she was surprised to see who it was, but then it quickly grew back when she announced the name. "Sarah Gem!"

"Huh? Sarah?" I questioned.

"Huh? Me?" Sarah asked in the same confused tone while the crowd cheered for her.

"Congratulations Sarah." Twilight smiled.

"Yeah!" Carrie added.

"B-But I don't remember being a candidate.." Sarah said confused, only for a mischievous chuckle to be heard from her Zoura pokemon. "Zoura.... do you have anything to do with it...?" I slowly asked the Tricky Fox Pokemon.

"En En." Zoura smiled and nodded.

"What did you do...?" Kaede questioned.

"He must have posed as Sarah and made her a canidate without her knowing." Twilight suggested and Zoura smirked and nodded.

"Zoura..." Sarah sighed in dismay.

"En En." Zoura said to her.

"Zoura said it would be good for you to do something great for Ponyville. Just for a change of scenery." Fluttershy translated. Sarah sighed. Well Zoura's heart is in the right place.. and it would be nice to see if Sarah has a creative side to her.

"So Sarah, do you have anything in mind?" Twilight questioned.

"Hmmm...." Sarah thought. Wonder what she's gonna have for the celebration?

Sarah's POV

Okay... so... what can I do for the celebration... what theme can I possible come up with...? "Pikachu...?" Huh? Oh Pikachu.

My little electric mouse friend and Snowflake came up to me with a small coo, wondering what I would have as my theme. "Don't worry, I'll think of something." I reassured them and then it hit me! "In fact.... you two can help me with my theme, you too Zoura."

"En En." Zoura smiled.

Alright! This will be perfect showing exactly what makes Ponyville special. Hehehe.. Ren and the other will be thrilled.

A Few Hours Later...

Perfect....! All around Ponyville, ponies were chatting happily with some.. special friends.. who were these special friends you ask.. well they were Pokemon..!

Yes, I'm not lying I actually brought a lot of Pokemon to the celebration, for my theme; Friendship. Ever since I traveled around Equestria and came to Ponyville, I've seen and created many friendships with different creatures big and small and now I'll have this celebration celebrate the friendships that make Ponyville so special and what better creatures to do that than Pokemon. I would have brought dragons too but... that might be a risky move in exposing their homeworld.

"Sarah! This is incredible..!" Ren called as he and the group came over. "You actually brought Pokemon into Equestria!"

"Great, now you've got the gaming nerd all hype." Jack complained.

"Jack, let Ren have his moment." Mason scolded, earning a sigh from him.

"This is unbelievable Sarah, I would have never have thought of this." Twilight said. "You did an excellent job with the pairings."

"Yes.. and I have fifteen pokemon for you guys." I smiled.

"Really?!" Everyone exclaimed at me and I nodded. I turned and whistle and fifteen pokemon came towards me; All eight Eeveeluations, Noctowl, Skitty, Mudsdale, Milotic, Talonflame, and a Delcatty.

Everyone gasped in awe at the pokemon. "Alright..!" Ren smiled.

I nodded, "Ren, you'll get Vaporeon. Jack you'll get Flareon. Mason and Carrie, you'll get Glaceon and Leafeon. Jamie, you'll get Jolteon. Rantaro and Nicole, you'll get Umberon and Espeon since the two had an interest in you the last time we crossed paths and Skye, you'll get Sylveon."

The eight Eeveelutions smiled and bounded over to their new trainers.

"Now for you six girls; Twilight's you'll get Noctowl, since you have Owlicious. Pinkie, you'll have Skitty. Applejack, you'll have Mudsdale, since he'll be an excellent helper in farming. Rarity, you'll get Milotic for her beauty. Rainbow Dash you'll get Talonflame, whose fast in the air like you and Fluttershy, you'll get Delcatty, whose sweet but shy like you."

The pokemon smiled and went over to their Pony trainers happily. "Thank you Sarah, this is incredible and amazing.." Twilight said, rubbing Noctowl's wing. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, this will be one celebration nopony will forget." Ren smiled, hugging his Vaporeon pal with the biggest smile on his face.

I couldn't help but chuckle....

Now I'm not the only one with a Pokemon as part of my family...
