"Stay close with me, I don't believe I've seen you all around here before." Odette said to Estelle and Teddy.
"We're new in the village." Estelle said.
"Well, that explains it, welcome." Odette smiled.
"This village seems very nice." Estelle smiled.
Odette smiled back.
"Mm-hmm." Teddy nodded, agreeing with his mother.
Everybody in the village seemed so happy and carefree on this lovely sunny day.
'Everybody seems so happy and carefree.' Teddy thought to himself with a smile.
It was truly a great day for all.
"So why are we here, Mama?" Teddy asked.
"I don't know, Teddy..." Estelle said. "These shoes must've brought us here."
"Your shoes?" Teddy tilted his head.
"Yeah, they're magic, they must have brought us here for a reason." Estelle whispered.
"Real magic?" Teddy's eyes sparkled slightly.
"Yep." Estelle nodded.
"Ooh..." Teddy looked to his mother's shoes in wonder.
"But I wouldn't recommend taking them off." Estelle said.
"Oh." Teddy said.
There was a young girl that showed up.
"She kinda looks like Kelly..." Estelle said to herself.
"She really does." Teddy nodded in agreement.
"Hi, are you Odette's sister?" Estelle asked the girl.
"That's me." The girl smiled.
Estelle smiled back. "Well, I'm Estelle, and this is Teddy."
"I'm Marie," the girl said. "I was just going for a ride."
"Cool." Estelle smiled.
Teddy looked curious.
"What do you ride?" Estelle asked.
"I have a horse," Marie smiled. "Would you like to ride?"
"Well, yes, but I don't know how to ride yet." Estelle said bashfully.
"Maybe I could teach ya." Marie offered.
Estelle smiled back. "I'd like that."
"What's a horse?" Teddy asked.
"Excuse us a moment..." Estelle took Teddy and walked back with him.
Marie looked curious, but allowed them to have some privacy.
"So, what is a horse?" Teddy asked.
"It's a four-legged creature with hooves and has mane for hair..." Estelle explained. "Kinda like a Ponyta."
"Cool." Teddy smiled.
"You can ride them, feed them carrots, and more..." Estelle continued to explain. "Also, back at the Plaza Hotel where Cousin Eloise lives, they sometimes have horse-carriage rides on Christmas or on cold days to visit around the city."
"Wow!" Teddy beamed.
Estelle smiled back. Marie then saw Odette and talked with her for a moment. Estelle and Teddy then went back to the older girl while the two talked.
"Really?" Marie asked.
"Yes, somehow Estelle is able to have a pet bear cub." Odette smiled back.
"That's amazing." Marie smiled.
"Truly..." Odette agreed.
Marie got back onto her horse as Odette was giving her a satchel.
"Nice bag." Estelle smiled.
"Oh, thank you." Odette told her.
"Yeah, it's great." Marie agreed as she climbed back onto her horse's back.
"What's your horse's name?" Estelle asked.
"This here's my pride and joy; Buttercup." Marie said.
"What a lovely name..." Estelle said, gently coming to the horse. "Good girl..."
Buttercup warmed up to her quickly as she began to nuzzle Estelle.
Estelle giggled. "That tickles!"
"Aw!" Marie smiled. "She likes you."
"And I like her." Estelle smiled back to the girl.
"Well, I better get going," Marie hitched up her horse. "It's time for me to get going."
"Oh, um, okay, hope to see you again soon." Estelle replied with a small wave.
Marie nodded, then rode off just as her and Odette's father came out of the bakery.
"You're so lucky, Odette." Estelle smiled.
"Oh, thank you," Odette smiled back, then looked curious. "Erm... How?"
"Because you have a sister." Estelle said.
"Oh, and you don't?" Odette asked.
"No, I'd like one though..." Estelle said. "I always wanted one... I have friends who treat me like their own sister, but still, it'd be nice to have a sister. I love my brothers very much, but you know what I mean, don't you?"
"Yes, I know." Odette replied.
The man came out. "Was that your sister?"
"Here and gone, Papa," Odette replied. "Gone like the wind."
"Does she always go off like that?" Estelle asked.
"Oh, yes, almost all the time..." the baker chuckled.
"Wow, so she's kind of like the wild child." Estelle said.
"I guess you could say that." Odette giggled.
Estelle nodded. "Though, if anyone's a wild child, I think Donnie Thornberry has them beat."
Teddy chuckled to that.
"Who?" Odette asked.
"He's a friend of mine's adopted brother." Estelle said.
"Oh... Okay..." Odette said.
Teddy smiled until he smelled a new scent and where it seemed to be a new kind of animal. A blue bird was flying along and seemed to be going over to a castle.
"You okay, Teddy?" Estelle looked down to her Teddy Bear Pokemon as she noticed he seemed curious and wondrous now.
"I smell a new animal." Teddy said as he went out into the village to find the new animal.
"Do you need to go after him?" Odette asked as Teddy wandered off.
"Just to make sure he doesn't get lost." Estelle said before going after the Teddy Bear Pokemon.
"Okay, good luck." Odette wished.
Estelle nodded and went off to follow her Pokemon so he wouldn't get into any trouble.
Teddy continued to follow the scent and where he then saw something that he thought was a Rapidash only without its mane and tail being flames. "Ooh..."
It was actually a unicorn who was trying to escape from two human men who then saw Teddy, thinking that catching two animals was better than one.
"Are you a 'horse'?" Teddy asked the equine creature based on what his trainer had told him about the creatures that they encountered just earlier from their new friend's sister.
"What? No, I'm a unicorn," The unicorn replied while trying to escape. "What kind of bear cub are you and why do you have a crescent moon mark on your forehead?"
"I'm a Teddiursa." Teddy replied.
"Wait, you're one of those Pokemon that Ralts told us about that she is also?" The unicorn asked.
"Uh, I am a Pokemon, though I can't say I know what a Ralts is..." Teddy replied.
"You will soon quick come over here and help me get free from these guys." The unicorn said.
"I'll try." Teddy replied as he rushed to the unicorn's side.
And where they began to do just that as the two men were now having more trouble with trying to keep the unicorn still while trying to catch Teddy.
"Teddy?" Estelle called for her Pokemon. "Oh, Teddy!" She then heard a horse neighing and where she wasn't the only one that heard it. "Marie, is that you?" the brown-haired girl guessed.
They both looked to see where the horse noises were actually coming from. Teddy stood close to the unicorn and looked around cautiously.
"Is that Teddy with a unicorn?!" Odette asked, surprised.
Estelle looked over. "Oh, Odette, you came."
"I thought you could use a ltitle help." Odette replied as she was still shocked to see a horned horse up close.
"Anyway, we better go and help them out." Estelle said, referring to the unicorn and Teddy.
"Here, let me help you." Odette offered.
Estelle smiled to her and allowed her to help.
Teddy continued to try and help free his new friend even without knowing her name. "Aha!" he spotted an axe that was in a log. "Follow me!"
The unicorn nodded to him. Teddy and the unicorn then ran over to the stump and ran around it, sliding the rope against the sharp blade which cut the rope and made the bad human fall into a fruit stand and it freed the unicorn. The villagers laughed at the human who had failed to capture the Teddiursa and the unicorn. The unicorn soon picked up Teddy while running.
"You're safe now." Teddy smiled at his unicorn friend.
"Oh, thank you, my friend." the unicorn smiled back up at him.
Estelle smiled happy that neither one was caught.
"I just can't believe it..." Odette said. "A real live unicorn..."
"I've seen a real live unicorn before; in fact, I've seen more than that." Estelle said before seeing the unicorn gallop off with Teddy still in its muzzle.
"What?" Odette looked over.
The unicorn briefly got caught on a dead branch with the rope, but got free and continued to run off with Teddy. Estelle and Odette then ran after the unicorn and Teddy into the forest.
"Hey! Stop!" Estelle called out to the unicorn.
The unicorn didn't listen, she just kept running and running. Unfortunately, the rope then got caught on another branch which made her fling over and fell right on her side.
Teddy winced and got up, looking at the unicorn. "Are you all right?"
"That hurt..." the unicorn pouted.
"Please slow down and let my mother and her friend come and help you." Teddy said.
"No, no, I can get it..." the unicorn stood up, then tried to buck herself free.
Teddy sighed. "You need help."
Odette and Estelle came over and looked from a distance to see the unicorn was trapped.
"We should help her." Estelle whispered.
"Yes..." Odette agreed. "But how?"
"Good question." Estelle said.
"It seems impossible..." Odette muttered as they were in the cave with no sign of Teddy or the mysterious unicorn anywhere inside.
"Let's keep going." Estelle said as she went on a head.
Odette was worried, but she agreed, going after her slightly younger friend.
'Don't worry, Teddy; I'm coming.' Estelle thought to herself.
Odette and Estelle kept walking through the cave with ease and eventually came out and found a very peaceful meadow with whimsical birds and a very peaceful and tranquil looking atmosphere.
"Oh, nature is so beautiful..." Estelle cooed as she enjoyed the serene sights of the old times before people would be indoors most of the time.
"It is lovely..." Odette agreed as they looked around the relaxing looking valley.
Estelle smiled before she saw Teddy again, wanting them to continue to follow him. "Come on, Odette, this way." She alerted her new friend before going off where Teddy and the unicorn were.
Odette nodded and followed after.
