It was a week after that whole dream thing, and my battle against Larry. I trained Scootaloo a lot more, she leveled up, and even learned a new move, wing attack. Fluttershy is now a level 8, and she also learned wing attack.
It was probably a good idea to head back to town. I'm starving, and Fluttershy's health is low. There's supposed to be a storm today, just great. Wait, what's that behind the tree?
Magical Blast!
It wasn't enough to hurt me, but it did knock me off my feet, what was that? A Twilight Sparkle jumped from behind the tree, and fired another blast at me. I summoned Scootaloo.

I captured a Twilight Sparkle! Wow, her name's a mouth full, I should give her a nickname. Maybe Twily, yeah, Twily will work. Okay, let's get back to town. It started pouring as I neared the town. I hate rain, it's just so... depressing. Sure, it's just water, but still, it's depressing. I could see the sign welcoming me to Hoofington. Yeah, I'm still here, I decided to train here until my ponymon are at least level10 each. Now I need to train Twily if I want her to battle, she's such a low level, why was she alone?
I arrived at the ponymon health center, and as usual, nurse joy healed up my ponymon. I saw a lot of Redhearts working around the hospital. Redheart ponymon are common in health centers, both ponymon, and human. But why were there so many? "Hey Nurse Joy, why so busy?" Nurse Joy looked at me while my ponyballs were on the machine. "A wild Pinkie Pie has been attacking people in the nearby town, mainly those with other ponymon. It's powerful, a level 9." Level 9s aren't normally near cities, why is this one? "Here you go, all healed up, be careful." I nodded, and walked out. I noticed he rain was coming down lighter, so the storm shouldn't last as long.
I went under a tree, and sat down. I pulled out the ponyball that has Twily in it. I looked at it for a minute, then tossed it, letting her out. At first she was confused, it was her first time out of that thing in the last hour, then she was annoyed that it was raining. After a few minutes of getting her bearings, she walked up to me, and just stared at me. I stared back. Then I let Fluttershy and Scootaloo out. The three took a minute to look at each other, then started playing. It was cute, I watched for what felt like hours, it was only 2. The rain stopped, and it was getting dark. I found a nice spot to camp, right where I was. I left all my ponymon out, I don't know why but I did. I made sure they all stayed together. One by one, they each fell asleep, then I did.
I felt something nudging me. I opened my eyes to see Fluttershy looking at me, I forgot how adorable she can be. I also forgot that she is scared of the dark. I opened my arm, and she snuggled right in. I made sure the others were close, they were. I was about to fall back to sleep, but I heard something behind me. I looked to see what it was. There was nothing, I heard a giggle, then more... hoofsteps? Wait, I hope it isn't what I think it is. A wild Pinkie Pie lands on the tree branch. It is. I wake up the others, but not before Pinkie Pie blasted me with her party cannon. Oh, that hurt, why am I getting hit ponymon today. Fluttershy stood between me and the crazy Pinkie Pie

"Alright Twily, great job." I ran up, and hugged the purple unicorn. After that touching moment, I put them all back in their ponyballs. I took them to the center, and told nurse Joy that I captured the former wild Pinkie Pie. "I warned you to be careful! But great job capturing that Pinkie Pie. Now you have 4 right?" I nodded, she handed me my ponyballs, and she offered me a place to stay for the night. She showed me the hotel, and informed them of what I did. Apparently stopping a wild ponymon from attacking other people earns you a free night at the place. I gladly took it, and slept in my bed. I would have to train Twily, and Pinkie now. Scootaloo and Fluttershy will need some work too, but I think things are finally looking good for us.
I had another dream, it was the two alicorns again. This time the white one was with an alicorn that was light blue, and was a bit smaller. They were playing, they seemed so happy. The white one seemed smaller too, she had pink hair instead of the multicolored one before. If it weren't for their marks, I would have thought they were different. I started hearing laughing, it wasn't the ordinary laughing from before. It seemed sinister, and scary. I turned around to find my self in a castle, ponymon were battling each other, along with humans. This pleasant dream turned into a nightmare, the roof of the castle exploded, and the same dark alicorn was flying above it all. She actually said something. "The night, will last, forever!" she started laughing like a maniac. I woke up with a scream. Okay, this was getting ridiculous, why was I having these dreams? I need to talk to Prof. Oak about this when I get the chance. I opened the curtain to see that it was nearly light out. I had to get moving, I wanted to find a nice spot to train Twily and the others. I started showering, and ate a little breakfast. By the time I finished, it was 8:00 AM. Better get moving. I woke the ponymon, and they all went inside their ponyballs.
It was 9:00 when I was out on the road again. A whole bunch of Fluttershys were flying around. Some Zecoras were picking berries, and I saw some Lyras in the river, doing what ever Lyras do. It's strange, Lyras always seem to act like humans a lot, compared to normal ponymon at least, weird. I heard someone shouting in the woods. "Come on, you can't win." That sounds like a girl. I ran further into the trees to see who it was. After a minute or two, I found who it was. It was a blonde girl, she was battling some guy. The ponymon she was using was an Applejack, while her opponent was using a Granny Smith. Really? A Granny Smith? Sure, those ponymon are wise and usually very experienced, but they're not physically strong. Applejack would win easily.

An Applejack lost to a Granny Smith? Well the Granny Smith was a higher level that her, that would make sense. The guy was laughing while that poor girl paid him some bits. After that, she walked away. I was too, when I heard her crying. I decided to help her out. I felt one of my ponyballs shaking. It was Twily's, she wanted to get out. I can tell she wanted to get out. I pulled her out, and she was already feeling a lot better. It can't be comfortable living in those things, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to let her stay out. Her ears perked up t the sound of crying, and she ran toward that direction, I followed, man was she fast. She disappeared through some bushes, I followed short behind. I looked to see that girl crying, and yelling at the Applejack. "Just go, you're not good enough! You're weak!" The Applejack was crying, I can see why, she was being so mean. Twily jumped in front of her and growled. The girl backed up, but pulled out a ponyball. "Maybe your better." I ran out of the bushes I was hiding behind. "Hey, she's mine!" The girl turned to look at me. I went up so close to her face. "You had no right to yell at that Applejack, and Twily knew it." The girl looked down, then at Twily. "You gave her a nickname?" I nodded, I told her about how she ambushed me, how she's a low level, and how she took down a level 9 Pinkie Pie. "Wait, you caught that level 9?" I nodded again. "Now tell me, what level is that Applejack?" She looked at the still hurt Applejack, and saw Twily comforting her. "She's a level 6." I was annoyed, she expected a level six to beat a level 10, only an extremely lucky ponymon to beat something that's nearly twice it's level. Twily fought a weakened level 9. It took a team to take her down. "You think she's weak?" She nodded. "Then train her, make her stronger, find teachers that'll show her moves. Don't just dump her, or yell at her. Ponymon are living beings, treat em as such." She was silent for a whole minute before she spoke. When she did, she walked up to the Applejack, and hugged her tight. "I'm sorry AJ, please don't be mad at me, I didn't mean it." I almost cried when I saw this moment. The moment when a trainer and their ponymon become true friends, it's just amazing.
After that moment passed, the girl got back up, and walked back to me. "Thanks, I need to learn to take care of my ponymon better. I'm Emily Grey, I'm going to be a ponymon trainer." "Hey, me too, Bill Brooster." I can tell she got excited. "Maybe we can work together. I need a teacher, and you seem like the perfect person." We both kind of blushed when she said that. "Uh, sure, why not." She was jumping for joy, she must really want a teacher. "Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me." I could take a hint, she really wanted a teacher. I saw Twily and AJ giggling. These ponymon act more human than we do sometimes. They feel like friends, something I never really had, and now I had an actual human friend. Life is getting so much better.
Now that Bill has met Emily, and is willing to teach her to be a better trainer. He is finally making some true friends, will he make more? Find out next week on Ponymon.
