Chapter 38:

But This Isn't Sochi…

---

The next day, Nodoka Manabe was watching the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and was confused. "Why is one of the snowflakes not turning into a ring?" she asked Kohei Uchimura, her husband.

"I think it's probably a political message to everyone: Russia still hates America," Kohei said. "That ring is supposed to represent the Americas. I think it's a political jab at Obama."
"Sports and politics just seem to mix so easily. This things bores me. I should change the channel." She did.

"Hey, it's the next episode of the show."

"Maybe this will be better than the Opening Ceremony."

"You may be right."

Hokago Tea Time was currently setting up the stage for their concert in Fuchsia City. "This is gonna be so cool! Ninja performers in a ninja city!" gushed Yui Hirasawa, the lead singer and guitarist.

"You got that right," said her sister Ui.

"That makes two of us!" said Azusa Nakano.

"It's so cute here," said Tsumugi Kotobuki.

"Yep," said Ritsu Tainaka.

"Back to work!" said Mio Akiyama. "No more dawdling around. We got a show to do."

"Come on Rarity. Let's finish those costumes," said Sawako Yamanaka, the band manager.

"You got it, Sawako," Rarity said, "I've got some Japanese Inspiration for these outfits."

"But who is making breakfast?" Twilight Sparkle asked, reading another of her books.

"My twin sister is covering it," Rita Thompson said. "And my other siblings are training for the Gym Battle against Blaine on Cinnabar Island."

"We were planning to go to Saffron City next," said Yui.

"Well when you put it that way I suppose we can train for a gym battle against Sabrina," Reina Thompson said showing up Rose, Sara, Maria, Sasha, and Yukie.

"And we can have Sara tutor them in the ways of Psychic Pokémon," Drake Thompson said showing up with his cousins, Lucy, Erza and Cana.

"Mew," as if to say, "Exactly."

As the gang was beginning to train for the gym battle and get ready for the concert, Drake, Reina, Rita, Rose, and Sara got some calls on their phones that lasted for quite a few minutes. After the calls ended, the five of them in question had worried looks on their faces.

"That was the IPD," Drake said. "We got a real doozy of a problem."

"What's the problem?" Lucy Thompson asked.

"Over three dozen brides in all of the known regions including the newly discovered Kalos Region have all been kidnapped," Rita said.

"And there's more bad news they've all been taken to Kanto," Rose Thompson said.

"I smell a Nighlok," said Mio.

"That's what we were thinking as well," Sara Thompson said, "And it gets worse."

"Mew?" as if to say, "What?"

"A massive surge of evil energy has also hit the Kanto Region," Reina said, "And it's affecting the surrounding areas near our location."

"Synergy, track!" said Yui.

"Hold on," Erza Thompson said, "If Kaos is involved then he's sure to have a barrier to prevent any tracking programs or spells."

"Erza's right," Cana Thompson said, "We'll need another plan. Synergy print out all the weddings scheduled in the Kanto Region tomorrow."

Synergy got to work. "That's a lot of weddings," Yukie Thompson said, "How are we gonna figure out which one they'll attack next?"

"And there's no telling if all the weddings will actually occur as planned," Maria Thompson said.

"Perhaps we should spread the word about what happened in the other regions," Sasha Thompson suggested, "That should shorten the list."

"I'll make a few phone calls," Rita Thompson said. "That should shorten the list."

"Master Xandred, are you sure letting Kaos and Dayu go work on her plan is a good idea?" Eggman asked on board the Egg Carrier.

He twiddled his fingers together in anticipation. "Any plan is as good as any."

"But Master Xandred, are you sure this is wise spoiling Dayu like this?" Octoroo asked.

"Hey, shark bait it's filling the Sanzu River so complaining," Ayumi said.

"Don't you mean stop complaining?" asked Xandred.

"I'm complaining that Kaos wouldn't tell me what Dayu's plan is," she hissed. "So whatever she's up to she only told him about it."

---

"So what exactly is your plan and why did you have me kidnap all of these brides?" Kaos asked as the Moogers and Putrids shoved another set of brides into the cocoon inside a secret lair.

"Women, cry very hard when something bad happens on their wedding days." said Dayu. "I will use their tears to fill up the river as well as making me this wedding dress."

"Okay, but…if this is a bride thing why didn't you tell Ayumi?" Kaos asked, "Why tell this to me? More importantly why the hell would you make a wedding dress? The only reason this is working so far is because my magic enchanted the Sanzu River so that even if the brides are rescued the river will stay at the level it's gotten to. One more thing: I even had the brides tortured on the way here and they're still crying deeply after I sent the grooms to the hospital in the process as well as attacked their families and all the guests attending causing even more tears of pain and sadness. What do you think about that?"

"You don't know what I've been through." Dayu replied before telling her story.

"Okay and you didn't tell this to Ayumi because Orgs don't have hearts do they?" Kaos asked. A nod. "Well in that case I'll tell Ayumi to send us some back up just in case. From what I can see we're nearly there on the dress. All we need now is at least one more bride and I know where to find it."

"Ok." said Dayu before playing her lute.

---

"What the hell?" Trixie asked, "How the hell did all those weddings get pushed back to next week?"

"Apparently the Thompsons called the planners and told them what happened," Lyra said.

"Pika," as if to say, "Understood."

"Unfortunately there were a few weddings that were in progress for today but the brides have all been kidnapped," Sweetie Drops said, "The only one left is a double wedding and that one is right here in Fuchsia City."

"I say we set a trap," said Sawako.

"We'll have to do this carefully," Rarity said getting the wedding outfits ready.

"WOW!" gushed the girls.

"Since this is a double wedding two of us will have to go," Maria said, "Take your bird Pokémon with you I'll have my own Bird Pokémon following them."

Stardance got a vision and she shared it with the group. Later on, the group was already at the double wedding as they were putting their plan into action.

"Having Ash and Drake play the roles of the grooms to marry Misty and Helen was a good idea," Ui said, "But are you sure this will work?"

"Readout printing," said Synergy.

"We got Moogers coming and in full force," Rose said reading the information.

"SUPER CHARGE! NATURE FLASH!"

Lucy began to morph but stopped when she noticed Erza's Crystal glowing before it revealed an eagle.

"Lucy care to explain this?" Erza asked holding the crystal as a Growl Phone appeared in her hands.

"Follow my lead Erza," Lucy said pulling out her growl phone.

Erza nodded as she and Lucy prepared to morph.

"WILD ACCESS!"

"Wow!" said Yui seeing Erza change.

"No time to celebrate," Erza said, "That was Drake. He said the Moogers took the bait but there's more bad news. Kaos is here and he led the attack."

Stardance shared another vision. "Come on everyone," Yui said, "Stardance says she had a vision of where the brides are."

---

"Here you are Dayu," Kaos said at the hideout, "I got the last of the brides needed and look what else I brought." He then presented some more brides.

"I should've known that this plan would've been very difficult to pull off," Mio said back in the cocoon.

"Apparently Kaos is smarter than we thought," Reina said, "Fortunately I sent Ducklett and Wingull to go find Drake and his Charizard before Kaos stripped all of us of or Poke Balls."

"And I managed to hide my Poke Balls in a belt attached to my leg," Sara said, "I'll have Cyndaquil and Pignite burn this cocoon."

"I just wish that 1 day I can pay back the one who did this to me!" said Dayu.

"Keep dreaming!" Sara yelled, "Pignite Cyndaquil Flamethrower."

Right on cue Sara's Pignite and Cyndaquil roasted the cocoon but unfortunately Kaos' magic had finished Dayu's wedding dress and filled the Sanzu River in the process.

"WHAT?" screamed Dayu.

"Did you really think we'd be stupid enough not to give the bride quadruple protection Dayu?" Sara sneered.

"Now it's my turn," Reina said, "Wartortle Water Gun now."

"I don't think so," Kaos bellowed pulling out his fan and blasting Wartortle doing heavy damage forcing Reina to recall him.

Just then Sawako appeared.

"Again? Bring it on!" Kaos sneered pulling out a Dao Sword.

"AI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-YI-!"

"Word of Advice find a shorter battle cry," Kaos sneered blocking the attack before striking back. "Take this!"

Just then six rays of light appeared.

"Back for another beatdown?" Kaos sneered, "I thrashed your zords, now I'll thrash you!"

"FIRE SKILL 58!"

Azusa used her fire skill to attack Kaos but Kaos blocked it with his sword.

"Seriously?" Kaos asked firing a water blast at Azusa before taking her over his knee and paddling her back side, "I hope that didn't hurt…too bad!" A wave of his finger, and her clothes were in shreds. Right on cue, Kaos tossed her right into Sawako who was getting up. "Next victim…"

"WATER SKILL 17!" Mio tried using a Water Strike to attack Kaos.

"Again? Dark Lightning strike," Kaos snapped striking back before giving Mio a literal spanking as well before tossing her right into Azusa and Sawako. "I hope I didn't you badly either. Ha!" Another wave of his fingers and her clothes were torn into pieces.

"FOREST SKILL 29!" Ui tried using her sword and turning it into a Rose inspired Whip Sword but Kaos caught the attack with his own blade before pulling her in, pulling her over his knee and paddling her backside as well.

"Eat this. Dark Fire Blast," Kaos said blasting Ui right into Sawako and Mio. "Producer! Do I have to add another insult? This is getting boring."

"On to the next scene," the producer said, doing the ripping for him.

"Thank you. Next victim."

"EARTH SKILL 48!"

Mugi tried using an earthquake to throw Kaos off balance but the evil overlord jumped and began paddling Mugi before blasting her into the others. "Next victim," Kaos sneered as Ritsu charged in.

"THUNDER SKILL 87!"

Kaos dodged as Ritsu used a Thunder Blade attack but Kaos channeled it and fired it right back at her before taking her over his knee and paddling her ass. "You're pathetic like always. Next."

"WIND SKILL 90!"

Yui tried spinning like a tornado with her blade extended in an attempt to hit Kaos.

"Bombassa," Kaos said simply dispelling the tornado and knocking her to the ground before he paddled her backside. "That was the most pitiful attempt ever. Is there nobody strong enough to challenge me? Kaos!"

"Um, do you need me to rip their clothes again?" the producer said.

"Yes, yes, do what you want, I'm doing work here." The producer snapped his fingers and the others had the clothes torn to pieces.

"Producer-san, you pervert!" exclaimed the girls.

"If you can't beat him, get shredded!" he said before snapping his fingers, disappearing as the girls began to masturbate.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Eat this!" Drake shouted, "Bullzooka Fire."

Right on cue Drake fired the Bullzooka right at Kaos blasting him a mile away.

"Guess I'll have to step in." said Dayu attacking.

"I don't think so," Lucy said as she and Erza showed up already morphed into the White Wild Force Ranger and the Yellow Wild Force Ranger respectively.

"SOARING EAGLE!"

"NOBLE TIGER!"

"Let's get her," Erza said as they both did battle with Dayu.

"CRYSTAL SABERS!"

Dayu attempted to block the attack from Lucy but she was hit hard by Erza's attack.

"Had enough bitch?" Erza sneered taunting Dayu.

"NO!" screamed Dayu making another attack.

"Then take this!" Lucy said blocking the attack with her White Tiger Baton before striking back with the Crystal Saber.

"Oh no you don't!" said Deker in his Nighlok mode blocking the attack.

"Hey Nighlok take this," Drake said, rushing back to the fray, slicing Deker and doing heavy damage to him while getting him away from Lucy. The producer reappeared, snapping his fingers to stop the girls from pleasuring themselves before disappearing.

"So I now see there are two people who can give me the Ultimate Duel." panted Deker. "You and that white ninja."

"Me?" asked Yui.

"Do you see any other white ninjas you twit?" Ritsu snapped annoyed giving Yui a headbump.

"OWIE!"

"Usually Ritsu's the one getting the headbumps," Trixie said sitting on the sidelines with the other Ponies. Twilight covered her face while blushing.

"It could be worse," Rarity said, "It's not like this Kaos creep is going to send down a pack of Giant Moogers to attack."

Just then Giant Moogers appeared.

"You called it, Rarity!" Pinkie Pie said. "This is all your fault! All your fault, all your fault…"

"That's it, Symbol Power Mute!" Lyra said taking the direct approach.

"Finally somebody shut her up," Isis said sitting on Lyra's back.

Twilight glared at them.

---

"We need Ninja Zord Power Now!" Yui called, in her underwear with the others. The producer reappeared and took a photo before disappearing.

The Zords appeared. "Ninja Falcon Megazord Transformation!" the Nature Force called. The Frog Zord became the legs as the Bear Zord became the body while the Crane Zord became the head as the Ape Zord became the right arm while the Wolf Zord became the left arm and the Falcon Zord attached to the back. "Ninja Falcon Megazord," they called.

Right on cue the Moogers attacked. "We should help them," Erza said.

"But what can we do?" Lucy asked.

"Well you could always summon your Wild Zords and give them a hand," Rainbow Dash suggested from the sidelines.

"WILD ZORDS DESCEND!"

Right on cue Lucy and Erza summoned their Wild Zords and a White Tiger and a Yellow Eagle appeared to help the Ninja Flacon Megazord.

"Who invited these Wild Zords?!" Kaos shouted as soon as he returned and recovered on board the Egg Carrier, "Ayumi, do something NOW!"

"RIGHT!" said Ayumi getting to work.

"Who is she calling?" Xandred asked as a one horned Org with guns in hand showed up.

"An old friend of hers from her days as a simple Duke Org," Eggman said, "Ayumi told me about this guy. He's the best sharp shooter and he spent much of his time in the old west. His name is Desperado."

"Lame if you ask me!" said Sonic appearing. "Sorry for running out gang we had a mess back home."

"Get that filthy rat!" Kaos shouted, "Arkeyan Ninjas attack!"

Right on cue Arkeyan Robots designed after ninjas showed up and attacked the hedgehog.

"RAT?" shouted Sonic before using his speed to take the robots down. "THAT'S HEDGEHOG TO YOU!"

Kaos simply blasted Sonic with a simple freezing spell before tossing him out of the ship and into a lake. "And that's how you take out the trash." Kaos said.

"OH NO! SONIC CAN'T SWIM!" cried Twilight before taking flight.

"Oh no you don't," Kaos said, "Arkeyan Autogyros get that pony!"

Right on cue the Arkeyan Autogyros began firing at Twilight to prevent her from reaching Sonic.

"Time for a Sonic Rainboom!" said Rainbow Dash taking off.

"Oh no you don't," Kaos snapped, "Arkeyans attack that blue pest!"

The Arkeyans began attacking Rainbow Dash as well but she was too fast for them to hit as they kept missing their shots. Eventually she reached Twilight and Sonic and brought them both to safety.

"NINJA POWER DIVE!"

The Megazord then dived down and slammed both of its fists into the Moogers destroying them as the White Tiger and Yellow Eagle Zords went after the Arkeyan Autogyros.

"ATTACK!"

Erza and Lucy ordered their Wild Zords to finish off the rest of the Moogers.

"Nature Force, victory is ours," said Yui.

"Now let's get back to setting up the concert," Rose suggested.

"Pika pika," Charger said but he looked at them, "Pika!"

"Wait a minute…you're still in your underwear!"

"Oh no!" Yui exclaimed.

"I'm not an evil person, ladies," the producer said, snapping his fingers to put the original clothes that Kaos shredded back on to the girls. "I hope this reminds you who I am."

"Thank you, Producer-san!" exclaimed the girls, bowing through their tears.

"Although I have to say, you look good in underwear too. Really ripped. Learn to put up a fight against Kaos next time, or I'm coming in and giving you the D."

"Mou!"

---

At the concert grounds, everyone was helping to set up for the concert and Prinplup and Oshawatt were helping out too. Oshawatt was sitting on Reina's shoulder and showing his trainer affection. "That's very nice Oshawatt but please don't embarrass me," Reina said calmly.

"Osha," as if to say, "Okay."

"Guess Oshawatt really likes having Reina as his trainer," Yukie said seeing Oshawatt showing Reina affection.

"Yep as much as Tepig likes having Rita as his Trainer," Maria said as Tepig was already getting used to being in Rita's arms, "Though Snivy seems to be kept in check."

"And it was fortunate that Rita and Reina swapped out some Pokémon to allow this reunion," Sasha stated, "Isn't that right Isis?"

"Yep."

"Okay Tepig that's nice I love you too but we need to work on toning it down a bit," Rita said to her Tepig.

"Tepig," as if to say, "Right."

Rita's Snivy was also present after Rita had sent Charmeleon back to Oak's to get some rest.

Fluttershy was throwing up at a nearby bush. "You okay Fluttershy?" Mio asked.

"I'm not sure. I think I'm pregnant." said Fluttershy.

"Seriously?" Mio asked shocked. "Not to sound rude but are you sure it wasn't something that you ate?"

"Running scan." said Synergy before scanning Fluttershy and making a readout.

"Well the good news is that it wasn't something you ate," Mio said, "The news also says that you're pregnant."

"PREGNANT!" cried Pinkie appearing.

"Pinkie Pie keep it down you're scaring Oshawatt," Reina said.

"And same for Tepig as well," Rita added as Snivy clamped Pinkie Pie's mouth shut with a Vine Whip.

"I gotta tell the others!" a sign said.

"Then go tell them," Mio said as Pinkie Pie raced off with Rita's Snivy still clamping Pinkie Pie's mouth.

"I wonder if I should tell them that if Snivy is threatened to remove her Vine Whip then she'll cling tighter to Pinkie Pie's mouth?" Rita asked.

"Nah let the veterans learn for themselves," Reina said.

"Pinkie? What's with that Snivy tying your mouth shut?" asked Mugi seeing her sister appear.

"Pinkie Pie must've been babbling again," Ariel said.

"Well at least that Snivy found a way to shut her mouth," Isis said as she and Sasha walked over.

Pinkie handed a note to Rarity. "Fluttershy's Pregnant?" she asked, stunned. "Oh my."

Right on cue Rarity fainted on the spot.

"Always the quiet ones that have the most luck." said Applejack.

"Right and it's not like Kaos is gonna show up and dump a pile of feces on Applejack that came from a herd of Tauros," Lyra said.

"Actually I'm going to do just that," Kaos' giant floating head bellowed as Applejack was buried in a pile of feces that came from an entire herd of Tauros.

"STAMPEDE!" Lyra exclaimed.

"RUN FOR IT!" Rarity added.

The gang took to the air. "Man that was close," Sweetie Drops said.

"Let's go find Comet and tell him the good news." said Rainbow Dash.

"We should do that," Rarity said, "And I finally got revenge upon Applejack for jinxing me with Jenny's Arcanine."

"Ha ha very funny," Applejack said, getting washed up and cleaned as the group flew off to find Comet.

"That's the last of the flyers." Comet said to himself before seeing the girls. "What's up?"

"Fluttershy's pregnant," Rainbow Dash said taking the direct approach, "And Rita's Snivy has clamped her vines around Pinkie Pie's mouth."

Comet fainted. "Well somebody needs to wake him up," Twilight said.

"A kiss?" one of Pinkie's signs said.

"That could work," Ariel said.

Rarity kissed him awake. "All right, we'd better get to Fluttershy fast." said Comet. "Chances are her element is speeding her pregnancy up!" With that, he took off with the girls behind him.

Over with Drake, Rose and Sara they were finishing the last of the stuff needed to get the concert ready. "So that should be the last of it," Drake said working on the wiring.

"Pika pika," as if to say, "All right."

"Now all we need to do is go check in with the rest of our relatives," Rose said as Umbreon sat next to her.

"And get the band down here so we can perform," Sara said before looking around, "Hey wait a minute. Have either of you seen Rita's Snivy?"

"I have!" said Comet appearing and filling them in.

"So Rita's Snivy silenced Pinkie Pie," Rose said, "Good for her."

"Remind me to reward her later," Drake said.

"Don't let Mugi hear that! I gotta check on Fluttershy!" said Comet before taking off again.

"Comet, you spoke too soon," Sasha said as Mugi showed up.

"He just took off," said Drake.

"Great but I'm afraid Mugi's here so what do we do?" Isis said quietly to the ponies.

"RITA! IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO TIE YOU TO OUR BED AND TICKLE YOU ALL NIGHT YOU COME HERE RIGHT NOW AND GET YOUR SNIVY TO LET MY SISTER GO RIGHT NOW!" screamed Mugi.

"That's right! Rita's on Mugi's bed team!" said Drake.

"I do not think that is working," Lucy said as Rita's Snivy clung tighter.

"Let's just get to Fluttershy. I don't what to leave her alone at a time like this!" said Rarity.

"Why don't we just make Pinkie Pie Pinkie Promise not to babble for a month?" Isis suggested. Pinkie did just that. Right on cue, Rita's Snivy let go of Pinkie's mouth.

"Now that we finally have some peace and quiet for a month we should enjoy it," Trixie said as they went to go see Fluttershy.

"I'm hungry." said Fluttershy whose belly grew to Stage 2.

"Let's wait till Pinkie gets the others over here." said Mio still stunned on how quick she grew.

"Hi guys," Erza said as she and the others showed up, "Wow Fluttershy's growing quick."

"Here's her cravings list." said Mio.

"Shouldn't be a problem," Rita said, "Though why is my Snivy on Pinkie Pie's back?"

A note. "Guess Rita's Snivy took the simplest approach to making Pinkie Pie shut her mouth," Reina said as Rita's Snivy nodded eagerly.

Once the food arrived Fluttershy ate them with gusto. "Wow, she can eat," Misty said, "So when is she supposed to pop?"

"Knowing her she'll pop in three seconds and it'll be the most comfortable birth yet," Ritsu said.

"Please the day we see a girl not threatening to kill the father is the day I'll walk around with pink frilly panties exposed for all to see," Rita said tempting fate.

"That was great!" burped Fluttershy till she felt her belly grow to stage 3 and fluid ran down under her tail. "Oh dear! My water broke!"

"Now all we need is for the contractions to kick in and then Fluttershy can give birth," Rose said.

"I think I'm feeling them!" moaned Fluttershy which made Mio and Rarity grab her hooves.

"It's alright darling we're right…here!" said Rarity wiping her marefriend's forehead.

"Okay we need to get Fluttershy into a tub," Sara said.

"On it!" said Twilight getting to work.

Right cue the contractions began hitting as Fluttershy was feeling them in full force as soon as the gang got Fluttershy into a tub.

"Oh this hurts so bad!" whined Fluttershy. "Now I know how all the animal mothers I helped over the years felt!"

"Okay Fluttershy you're doing great," Drake said, "I can see the head."

True to Drake's word the head of Fluttershy's first child was beginning to emerge.

Fluttershy gave a great big push.

"Say hello to your new born baby colt Fluttershy," Drake said presenting Fluttershy's new Colt. She took her son and started crying.

"What's wrong Fluttershy?" Rarity asked concerned.

"I think she's happy," a sign Pinkie was holding said.

"That's good to hear," Mio said, "But shouldn't she be having another kid by now?"

Right on cue Fluttershy began having contractions yet again confirming Mio's statement. Fluttershy pushed once more.

"Good news again Fluttershy," Drake said, "You've given birth to a filly."

"I'm surprised Fluttershy didn't threaten to kill Comet," Ritsu said.

"Element of Kindness. Thanks Heaven!" said Comet looking over his first children.

"Mio? Rarity? Did I grip you too tight? I'm sorry." said Fluttershy.

"That's okay, it was the contractions," Rarity said.

"On the bright side Ritsu won the bet she made with Rita," Mio said, "And guess what that means."

Pinkie was writing down a lot of notes covering the ground with paper. "I know I know," Rita sighed, "I have to wear pink frilly panties and let everyone see me wearing them."

"Rita in Pink Frilly Panties?" Sara gasped in stunned shock, "Somebody pinch me."

"So any name ideas?" asked Comet.

"Carefree Heart for my daughter and Wind Rider for my son," Fluttershy said naming her kids.

"Good. All right, now that that's settled how about we get ready for the concert," Reina suggested.

"Hang on," said Comet before healing Fluttershy. "There and you shouldn't be able to get pregnant again for two years."

Later that evening, the band was about to perform in Fuchsia City and as planned they were wearing dresses for the concert though Rita's had resembled a frilly maid's outfit with a short dress.

"I can't believe I'm in a short frilly dress," Rita said.

"Well at least it's fabulous darling. I should know since I made it." said Rarity. "Actually, let me switch it up, since it's a bit cold tonight." Soon enough, the band was wearing white coats, black pants and silver shoes with the coats bearing the HTT insignia in silver on the back.

"Now that's a whole lot better," Rose said, "Modest, too. Either way, let's get moving."

Synergy meanwhile was getting ready to introduce the band.

"Hello Fuchsia City, are you ready to rock out loud?" Synergy asked the crowd.

"YEAH!" they all said.

"Here's the band you guys have been waiting for. It's Hokago Tea Time!"

"What's going on, folks?" Yui said. "We just came from taking out some monsters!" The crowd roared. "Now I know it's a bit cold, so hopefully you have some hot chocolate or something. We'll do our best to warm you up. Anyway," she said as the band did a little tuning, "I'm Yui Hirasawa, the lead singer and guitarist of Hokago Tea Time. Let me introduce to you the other members of our band. We have Mio Akiyama, our bassist; our other two guitarists, Azusa Nakano and my sister Ui; our keyboardist and keytarist Tsumugi Kotobuki; our drummer, Ritsu Tainaka; and our backup musicians, the Thompson sisters of Reina, Rita, Rose and Sara."

The audience applauded, as Ritsu began to roll out a cadence.

"We're gonna start with a Bruno Mars song that you all should know. It's called 'Locked Out Of Heaven.'"

"Now that was a blast," Lucy said in the VIP Box.

"I know Lucy and they've only just started," Erza added.

"When you walk away

You don't hear me say

"Please, oh baby, don't go"

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go

You're giving me

Too many things

Lately

You're all I need (Oh, oh)

You smiled at me

And said, "Don't get me wrong I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father?"

When we are older you'll understand

What I meant, when I said "No"

I don't think, life is quite that simple

When you walk away

You don't hear me say

"Please, oh baby, don't go"

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go

So simple and clean

The daily things

Like this and that and what is what

That keep us all busy

Are confusing me

That's when you came to me

And said, "Wish I could prove I love you, but does that mean I have to walk on water?"

When we are older you'll understand

It's enough when I say so

And maybe

Some things are that simple

When you walk away

You don't hear me say

"Please, oh baby, don't go"

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go

Hold me

Whatever lies beyond this morning

Is a little later on

Regardless of warnings

The future doesn't scare me at all

Nothing's like before

When you walk away

You don't hear me say

It's hard to let it go

Hold me

Whatever lies beyond this morning

Is a little later on

"Pika," as if to say, "All right."

"Charger likes the number," Isis said translating what Charger just said as she was also teaching him how to talk like a human.

"Looks like the kids like it too." said Comet.

The infants were all enjoying the song as the next one began playing.

"AAAALLLLLLLRIGHT!

Thunder, rain, and lightning.

Danger, water rising.

Clamor, sirens wailing.

It's such a bad sign.

Shadows, dark creatures.

Steel clouds floating in the air.

People run for shelter.

What's gonna happen to us?

All the steps we take, all the moves we make, all the pain at stake.

I see the chaos for everyone. Who are we? What can we do?

You and I are same in the way that we have our own styles that we won't change

Yours is filled with evil and mine is not

There is no way I can lose!

Can't hold on much longer...

But I will never let go!

I know it's a one way track...

Tell me now how long this'll last!

I'm not gonna think this way...

Nor will I count on others!

Close my eyes and feel it burn...

Now I see what I gotta do!

Open your heart, it's gonna be alright.

Ancient cities blazing,

Shadows keep attacking.

Little children crying,

Confusion, hopeless anger.

I don't know what it can be, but you drive me crazy!

All your cunning tricks make me sick, you won't have it your own way!

Can't hold on much longer.

But I will never let go!

I know it's a one way track.

Tell me now how long this'll last!

I'm not gonna think this way.

Nor will I count on others!

Close my eyes and feel it burn.

Now I see what I gotta do!

Open your heart...and you will see!

If it won't stop, there will be no future for us.

Its heart's tied down by all the hate, gotta set him free!

I know it's a one way track.

Tell me now how long this'll last!

Close my eyes and feel it burn.

Now I see what I gotta do!

Gotta open your heart, dude!

Can't hold on much longer!

But I will never let go!

I know it's a one way track!

Tell me now how long this'll last!

I'm not gonna think this way!

Nor will I count on others!

Close my eyes and feel it burn!

Now I see what I gotta do!

Open your heart, it's gonna be alright! Yeah!

Open your heart!

Yeah!

Open your heart!

Yeah, yeeeahhhh... "

"Mew!" as if to say, "I like it!"

"Guess they're doing a Sonic the Hedgehog Special this time," Shining Armor said.

"That makes sense so what song will they play next?" Cadance asked.

"Can you feel life, movin' through your mind?
Ooh, looks like it came back for more!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Can you feel time, slippin' down your spine?
Oooh, you try and try to ignore!

Yeeeah!

But you can hardly swallow
Your fears and pain!
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came!

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way

Whooooa, oh, yeah!

Can you feel life, tangle you up inside?
Yeeah! Now you're face down on the floor!

Ooooh!

But you can't save your sorrow
You've paid in trade!
When you can't help but follow
It puts you right back where you came!

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way

(Hey!)

Whoa, whoa, whooa
Oh yeeeeeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeah!

There's a face searching far, so far and wide
There's a place where you dream you'd never find
Hold on to what if?
Hold on to what if?

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow
Live and learn!
You may never find your way

Live and learn!
Hanging on the edge of tomorrow!
Live and learn!
From the works of yesterday-ay!
Live and learn!
If you beg or if you borrow!
Live and learn!
You may never find your waaaaaaay!

Live and Learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Live and Learn!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

"Any chilli dogs?" asked Sonic, watching the action from a distance.

"Right on Stage Sonic," Tails said seeing Rita cook a few chili dogs.

Right on cue Sonic ran across the stage to get them and as he did so the police arrived. "Uh, oh, I better get back to my seat!" He took the chili dogs, tipped Rita and went back to his seat.

"Why are you cooking in the middle of the show?" Mio asked. "Put that stuff away.

"Sorry," she said as a few Pokemon wheeled the set off stage.

"Let's give it up for Sonic the Hedgehog and his team for helping us earlier today against the Moogers," Mio said as the crowd applauded. The camera was back on Sonic, who finished the chili dogs and waved to the camera. "Here's our next piece."

"What goes up must come down.

Yet my feet don't touch the ground.

See the world spinning upside down,

A mighty crash without a sound!

I can feel your every rage,

Step aside I'll turn the page.

Breaking through your crazy maze.

Like a laser beam, my eye's on you!

Watch me rule the night away.

Watch me save the day.

Feel my storm it's gettin' close.

Heading your way!

Sonic Heroes!

Sonic Heroes!

Bind you, confine you, defying your reign!

Sonic Heroes!

Sonic Heroes!

Setting the stage for a heroes parade!

I won't even hesitate.

A second left to alter fate.

I tried to strike, but a bit too late.

I got you hooked by my own bait!

Watch me rule the night away.

Watch me save the day.

Feel my storm it's gettin' close,

Heading your way!

Sonic Heroes!

Sonic Heroes!

Bind you, confine you, defying your reign!

Sonic Heroes!

Sonic Heroes!

Setting the stage for a heroes parade!

You can get there ain't no doubt,

As the words spill from the mouth...

Of a hero...

I can chase another day.

Fight you all the way,

Like a hero...

And together we stand strong no matter how,

No one can bring us down!

HEEEEEYYYYY!

Sonic Heroes!

Sonic Heroes!

Bind you, confine you, defying your reign!

Sonic Heroes!

Sonic Heroes!

Setting the stage for a heroes parade!

Sonic...Heroes!

Heroes!

Heroes!

Sonic...Heroes!

Heroes!

Heroes!

Give us a reason and we're on our waaaaaay!"

The crowd cheered again. "All right Fuchsia City do you like that number or what?" Ritsu yelled to the crowd.

"YEAH!"

"Ritsu really knows how to get a crowd fired up," Twilight Sparkle said as the next song came up.

"C'mon and light the fuse, he's a rocket and he's ready to go,

'Cause now the countdown has started and he's ready to blow.

He's got the dope sounds pumpin' in his stereo. (-eo!)

Kickin' ass fast, puttin on a show.

Go on and get yourself together, there's no time to rest.

And if you put the time in, he'll put you to the test.

He's like a running man, in his world more is less,

And if you wanna test him best, bring your best.

Don't make me spell it out, bring your best!

In this world... (His world!)

Where life is strong.

In this world... (His world!)

Life's an open book.

In this world... (His world!)

Where compromise does not exist.

In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

In this world... (His world!)

Where one is all.

In this world... (His world!)

Never fear the fall.

In this world... (His world!)

Where compromise does not exist.

In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

Runnin' it back again, well what'dja expect?

Comin' at ya with ten outta ten, got a real rough neck!

Spikes up his liberty, straps on his shoes.

'Cause he's the best there ever was, haven't ya heard the news?

Intergalactic, continental champ runnin' things,

Hyperactive, instrumental, and pulling strings.

He's the one who understands when the tides will swing,

So he's breakin' down doors, never following.

C'mon and psyche yourself up, 'cause its time to play.

Bounce to the beats and the rhymes, 'cause they're here to stay.

The one and only marathon man, livin' the day.

Movin' up, comin' fast and he'll blow you away!

Because the pressures of this world, they can take their toll.

And it's tough to get away when they take their hold.

The only way to break free is to break the mold.

You can't stop now, lock and load.

Don't stop now, c'mon, rock n' roll!

In this world... (His world!) (Gotta make your own way!)

Where life is strong.

In this world... (His world!) (Life is just a game you play!)

Life's an open book.

In this world... (His world!) (Nothing's forever here to stay!)

Where compromise does not exist.

In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

In this world... (His world!) (Gotta make your own way!)

Never fear the fall.

In this world... (His world!) (Nothing's forever here to stay!)

Where compromise does not exist.

In his world of worlds, every step meets the rest!

Light the fuse on his rocket and he's ready to go,

'Cause now the countdown has started and he's ready to blow!

(In his world...!)

(Where one is all!)

Intergalactic, continental champ runnin' things,

Hyperactive, instrumental and pulling strings!

(In his world...!)

(Never fear the fall!)

(In his world...!) The only way to break free is to break the mold!

You can't stop now, lock and load!

(His world!) I said you can't stop now, lock and load!

(HIS WORLD!) Don't stop now, c'mon and ROCK & ROLL! "

The fans cheered again. "If I didn't know better I'd say that this is a Sonic the Hedgehog festival," Ash said to Misty and Brock.

"You guys want a chili dog?" asked Sonic, walking over to the three of them.

"Sure, Sonic," Misty said, "I could go for a chili dog."

"Can you get mine with mustard?" Brock asked.

"Sure." Right on cue Sonic dashed to get the chili dogs at a stall outside the stadium as the next number played in the distance.

"This is my escape

I'm running through this world and I'm not looking back

Cause I know I can go

Where no one's ever gone and I'm not looking back

But how will I know when I get there?

And how will I know when to leave?

We've all gotta start from somewhere

And it's right there for me

The possibilities are never ending

I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)

I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)

Endless Possibility

And so I'll carry on

My time to shine has come, I feel it! (I feel it, I feel it)

As fast as I can go

Straight to the top I know, you'll see it! (You'll see it, you'll see it)

So please wake me up when I get there

It feels like I'm lost in a dream

I know in my heart that it's my time

And I already see

The possibilities are never ending!

I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)

I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)

Endless Possibility

Drop that smile 'cause you're beaten again

No, this is where my journey begins!

You're losing speed, you're losing your flow

But inside me's a power you'll never know!

Then let it out, it's inside you

Better all stand back 'cause I'm coming THROUGH!

I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach

I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me!

I see it, I see it, and now it's all within my reach (Endless Possibility)

I see it, I see it now, it's always been inside of me (And now I feel so free)

Endless Possibility (Endless Possibility)

Endless Possibility (Endless Possibility)

Endless Possibility!"

"Aren't they amazing?" Fluttershy cooed to her twins, who were babbling happily and enjoying the music. "Yes, they are."

"Fluttershy's a great mother," Trixie said, "Perhaps they'll be impressed with my abilities in magic."

"Provided you don't get too cocky," Lyra said, "We still need to get you ready for your big date with Big Mac."

"Lyra's right," Sweetie Drops said, "You can't go dating Applejack's brother if you look filthy and act like a jerk."

"You better get ready yourself," Comet told Big Mac.

"Eeyup," Big Mag said as the next song played. He looked on, working on his hayseed.

"Good times and bad times,

I can count on being with you.

I thank you for staying so true

My life will go on a long time,

Have to catch up when I see you

And You are my reason I can make it through

I will give my word that I will come in time to rescue

My heart will always be with you

I'm so glad I met you being with me wherever,

We're made for each other forever

I know life can be tough on you time and time again

laughter maybe gone away

I will wipe away my tears to-morrow

Life must go on, that's the reason that you travel away

I will be there if you need me

And I know you'll do the same

I can see you, I can hear you in my heart

You will be here if I need you

I will never have to guess

cause we are very special friends

Oh-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

So send me a letter,

let me know how you're doing.

You are my lifetime and true friend.

We'll never be forgotten,

having trust is all we may need

You are always with me in the life I lead

So far, far away from life I used to know

worries are too far, too

I will stop and close my eyes, remember

And at the rainbow I can take you,

I will catch it for you

Memories you can recall

With me any time of day

You can reach out

You can ask me in your soul

I will answer when you call me

I will come no matter how

Cause we are very special friends

Just like a river that flows

Just like stars in the dark night

Lead me in the storm,

Lead me in the dark

You are the light of my life

Oh-Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

I will be there if you need me

And I know you'll do the same

I can see you, I can hear you in my heart

You will be here if I need you

I will never have to guess

Cause we are very special friends

Memories you can recall

With me any time of day

You can reach out

you can ask me in your soul

I will answer when you call me

I will come no matter how

Cause we are very special friends

Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah…"

"Well looks like they took things slow this time," Rainbow Dash said.

"You got that right." said Spike.

"They should do another slow song," Rarity said, "What do you think Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie deflated her hair then buried her in notes.

"I guess forcing Pinkie Pie to Pinkie Promise not to babble for a month may not have been the best idea," Twilight said attempting to decipher the notes as the next song played.

"Mistress of the Obvious, Your Highness," Applejack snarked. She had already been freshened up and now smelled like an oversized bag of Zap Apple Chips.

"Whoaaa Whoaaaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaa!

Hey all (hey all) welcome to the greatest storm

I know (I know) you have waited much too long

And I (and I) I will be your shining star

I'm here (I'm here) here to conquer near and far

Each and every, each and every, each and everyone

'Til this war is won

By the table I command

My kingdom

I'm the knight of the wind

Whoaaa Whoaaaa Whoaaa Whoaaa Whoaaaa!

Hey all, (hey all) welcome to the end, it's near

I know (I know)

I will bring you pain and fear

---

The fans cheered again. "All these Sonic Songs are just what we need and just what the producer needs too," Spike said unknowingly breaking the fourth wall.

"I'm not a Sonic fan, I'm a follower of the Church of Madoka, but Sonic is one of my peers," the Producer said appearing out of thin air. "He visits my house every now and then to talk." He snapped his fingers and produced a bumper before it dissolved to the next scene.

"Hey Mio. A doc once told me he lost a patient," said Yui.

"Did he lose the guy in the operating table?" asked Mio.

"Nope the waiting room. The guy ran out when he got the bill." The crowd laughed at that one as the next song began playing. "All right, this is where you need to clap your hands, let's go!" The crowd did, but some opted to form mosh pits and crowd-surf with the flags of the different cities of the Pokemon regions waving in the distance.

"Take off at the speed of sound

Bright lights, colors all around

I'm running wild, living fast, and free

Got no regrets inside of me

Not looking back

Not giving up

Not letting go

I'll keep on running!

I'm gonna reach for the stars

Although they look pretty far

I'm gonna find my own way

And take a chance on today

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

I never felt like this

I'll keep on running!

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

Just take my hand

We're gonna reach for the stars

Tonight...

Tonight...

Wake up, living day by day.

Do what I want, and I'll do it my way

The world is flying right below my feet

Got no regrets inside of me.

Not looking back (Not looking back)

Not giving up (Not giving up)

Not letting go

I'll keep on running!

I'm gonna reach for the stars

Although they look pretty far

I'm gonna find my own way

And take a chance on today

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

I never felt like this

I'll keep on running!

The sky with stars so bright

The colors feel so right

Just take my hand

We're gonna reach for the stars

Tonight...

Tonight...

I've got it in my sight.

The colors feel so right.

Got my feet off the ground

I'll keep on running!

Oh, I can feel it now.

The colors all around

Just take my hand we're gonna reach for the stars...

Just take a chance (Just take a chance)

We'll do it right again

(We're gonna reach for the stars)

Just take my hand (Just take my hand)

We'll take a chance tonight...

Reach for the stars...

Tonight!

Tonight..."

---

The fans cheered again. "We're gonna go straight to the next number," Rita said, bouncing up and down. "You ready!?" The roar of the crowd confirmed it. "Here we go!"

"Finally we can relate

Now we're side by side, this is fate

I knew all along we'd find some way to communicate

I've been here before and I know that

We must stand up tall

I'm not scared to ask when I'm not sure

We can overcome it all

Speaking from nowhere else except your heart

You'll never know if you don't try

Listen and see, the voice I carry with me

Speak with your heart! Speak with your heart!

If you could tell me how to lend a hand

I would try to understand

No words could say how much I care

Together we can take a stand

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

We can break this wall that divides us

I know you're sincere

We'll just take our time in this moment

Your voice will come clear

Speaking from nowhere else except your heart

You'll never know if you don't try

Listen and see, the voice I carry with me

Speak with your heart! Speak with your heart!

If you could tell me how to lend a hand

I would try to understand

No words could say how much I care

Together we can take a stand

Tell me how to lend a hand

I would try to understand

No words could say how much I care

Together we can take a stand

Don't fall apart,

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

Forget about this hatred

We'll ride the way till the end

And I know that if we communicate

This will be ours to the end!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart, your heart, with your heart...

Speak with your heart!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart, your heart, with your heart...

Speak with your heart!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

Don't fall apart

Speak with your heart!

And always take it with you back to the start!

Speak with your heart, yeah!"

"Now that's what I call Music," Drake said.

The fans cheered again.

"Everyone," Mio said. "I should let you know what we're wearing right now. This uniform is actually what the Japanese National Olympic Team are wearing at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Sochi Winter Olympics." The fans roared at that. "It's pretty cold today, and we were ripped to shreds earlier today so we were suffering in our underwear for a time." Laughter. "No, in these types of weather, if you're just in your undies you could get pneumonia. So make sure to get vaccinated and stay warm, like we arm."

"A message from Mio-chan. Let's give it for Mio-chan!" Applause from the crowd. "This is our intermission. We'll take a break for a bit. Here's a Bugs Bunny cartoon." She snapped her fingers and the screen showed some random scenes.

"What's a Bugs Bunny Cartoon?" Lyra asked.

"Something from where they're from," said Twilight, showing a book of scenes from Warner Bros.

"Why don't they put a Road Runner Cartoon?" Trixie asked, "That would be funny."

"How did you know about that?" asked Drake.

"Sasha's been teaching me about them," Trixie answered, "It's very funny and reminds me of the Road Runner like situation Sonic put Twilight in."

"I even have it all on tape and I should show it to the public," Sasha added. Twilight blushed.

---

"Ready to crash the show Eggman?" Ayumi asked, back on board the Egg Carrier.

"You bet!" said Eggman.

"Full Speed ahead," Kaos said as the Egg Carrier made its way to the Concert before Kaos himself darkened the Sky.

Back at the concert Hokago Tea Time was about to perform after the intermission but before they could the darkness blocked out the clouds.

"What's going on?" Mio asked whimpering.

"Oh man, not Eggman again!" groaned Sonic. "And we were just about to get to the second half of the show."

"That's right," Kaos' Giant floating head sneered, "He's here." Right on cue the Egg Carrier appeared and from it Eggman beamed down onto the Stage.

"Greetings good people of Fuchsia City," Eggman said, "Are you ready for my own theme song?" The crowd gasped but clapped thinking it was all part of the show. The Producer, of course, watching from a distance, knew that it was.

"Who ooh, ooh, hoo hoo oh yeah!

N-oh!

The story begins with who's gonna win

Knowin' the danger that lies within

Aboard the ARK a genius at heart

Who wanted to unlock the mysteries of life

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, with the master plan

I'm plotting my schemes wherever I go

They're perfect in every way

I'd love to destroy the blue one you know

He's an obstacle that always gets in my way

I love playing this game by my rules

I will conquer the world with my tools

All my machines are made for destruction

I will build my empire

I will succeed and you will see

With my machines there is no retreat

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the enemy, I will succeed

My mission, yeah, I must complete

My name is Eggman, don't forget my name!

If you ask me again, I'll tell you the same

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master plan

I am the Eggman, that's what I am

I am the Eggman, I got the master master plan

I am the Eggman!"

"For an evil scientist Eggman can sing very well," Cadance said.

"Yeah but he's still a slo-mo." said Sonic before being buried in new notes from Pinkie since that confused her.

"Thank you for your time," Eggman said before the Egg Carrier beamed him up, "Now get a load of this." Hokago Tea Time noticed that all their Pokeballs were being sucked into a vacuum being held by an Arkeyan Autogyro. A couple of Team Rocket members came into the spotlight.

"Prepare for trouble…"

"…And make it double!"

"To infect the world with devastation!"

"To blight all people in every nation!"

"To denounce the goodness of truth and love!"

"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"

"Cassidy!"

"And Butch, of course!"
"We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and all night!"

"Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight!"

"Cassidy and Bob return our Pokémon now!" Rose snapped.

"THE NAME IS BUTCH!"

"How the fuck did you two even escape?" Sara hissed.

"That would be my doing fools," Kaos sneered.

"SUPER CHARGE: NATURE FLASH!"

"Again?" Kaos yawned, "Putrids get them!"

Right on cue the putrids began attacking the band.

"Throwing Stars!" said Yui.

Right on cue the throwing stars did their job and knocked out the putrids.

"Looks like your students are handling themselves well," Drake said to Master Wu in the VIP box, "But I'm still worried that I may have to step in and battle Kaos."

"If so Wu would be very angry and would up training again!" growled Wu.

"Remember this is but a hologram of Kaos appearing before them," Big Mac said showing insight.

"NINJAGO!"

Right on cue the veteran members of Hokago Tea Time used their skills to clear out all the Putrids leaving only Cassidy and Butch in the Arkeyan Autogyro.

"That's kinda cool," said Butch.

"Focus Butch," Kaos said over the radio of the Autogyro, "Now get back here at once." The camera was actually on Kaos, making the action seem corny, or rather staged.

"Yes Kaos." Cassidy said piloting the Autogyro to the Egg Carrier.

"They're getting away!" Mio shouted pointing to the Arkeyan Autogyro flying away.

"WE NEED NINJA ZORD POWER NOW!"

Right on cue the Ninja Zords showed up and the Nature Force Rangers hopped in.

"Must they call the zords for everything?" Ariel asked.

"FIRE!"

Right on cue Yui fired missiles from the Falcon Zord which struck the Arkeyan Autogyro in the wing sending it crashing to the ground.

"Yui you idiot you nearly damaged our Poke Balls," Ritsu shouted.

"Actually they're all safe," Rita said, "I used a bit of symbol power to teleport them back to the stage."

"Let's finish them off!" said Azusa. "TWIN SWORD ATTACK!"

Right on cue Azusa struck the chopper with the twin sword attack destroying it and sending Butch and Cassidy blasting off.

"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"

"Finally we see them blasting off," Rainbow Dash said.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Kaos bellowed as the Egg Carrier left. The crowd roared in approval.

---

"All right, with that said," Yui replied, "All that work and distractions from the bad guys has gotten us tired. We need to get out of these outfits. And we have just the guy to do it."

"Producer-san!" the band said, calling out the Producer, who walked in, wearing his suit to the roar of the crowd.

"Hey everybody, how's everyone doing?" the Producer said. "I'm the Producer of Poke-ON!, which is what this concert is a part of. You're all part of the show. Wave to the camera, everybody!" A spider-cam hovered over the crowd. "So, apologies for the distraction we just had after intermission, but, as the Producer, it's all…part of the plan."

"Oooooooh!" the fans said before applauding.

"Thank you, thank you. Now then, Yui, you wanted a wardrobe change?"

"Yes!"

"Okay. Well, we'll have a little bit of a countdown here before we get the show going again. Start. Enjoy the rest of the concert guys!" He snapped his fingers, disappeared, and a 60-second countdown began. When the countdown concluded, the entire band were dressed in the wedding outfits that Mio and a few others were in earlier. In the front of the crowd were the brides that were saved by the Nature Force. The outfit consistent of a Baby Tulip Veil and a Gold Butterfly Dress, Gloves and pair of Shoes.

"Now this is an outfit that I can move a little bit freer in," Azusa said. Sonic dashed through the crowd and unfurled a wind lift that stayed for a minute, allowing the fans to take photos. "Sonic, you perv!"

"Sonic, what are you doing?" said Amy Rose, jumping out of a vortex.

"Amy, how did you?"

"Stop disrupting the concert and get back here!" Amy started to chase Sonic around the city, allowing the band to get settled again.

"I think this show is more about Sonic than about us," Mugi suggested. "Let's go on to the next number."

"A night sky full of cries
Hearts filled with lies
The contract - is it worth the price?
A soul pledged to the darkness
Now I've lost it
I know I can kill
The truth exists beyond the gates

Tears flowed from my shut eyes
The fragments of reason and blood are repeatedly eaten away at

I don't want anything anymore
(My exposed feelings around Turn round)
I don't feel the way as before
(Gang Bang Son of a gun)

In the rift between our two entwined chests
You only desire this parched body of mine

With dirtied fingertips, I pour into the night
Prying you open until you shred
Within a light slumber, my thoughts that have peeled off creak
If just about anything might erase everything now

Sun will rise Close your eyes
Downfallen (Fallen) Falling
Hold inside
Just HOWLING in the shadows

While being beaten upon by the incessantly pouring rain
I bored my nails deeply into your back that I cling onto

I don't need anything anymore
(No one else can take my place)
I don't see the way as before
(I've been lost without a trace)

As if obstructing someone's touched dream from continuing
My heart was closed off

With dirtied fingertips, we embraced each other many times
Reeling you in aimlessly
My faint memories still blot through my remaining wounds
Even if everything that I gained is a mistake

With the power that awakes every time when I lose it

These dirtied wings pour into the night
Prying you open until you shred
Within a light slumber, my thoughts that have peeled off creak
If just about anything might erase everything now

Sun will rise Close your eyes
Downfallen (Fallen) Falling
Give me sight to see inside
I'm calling
Take a bite night by night
Downfallen (Fallen) Falling
Hold inside
Just HOWLING in the shadows…"

"Thank you," said Ritsu to the crowd, twirling her sticks in approval. "Here's another number that we like. Even though this is more of a summer song, we're in summer clothes, but wait! We're not cold in these outfits?"

"Built-in heating," Yui whispered.

"Oh, so there's built-in heating in this one!" The crowd roared in approval. "Here's a number that will warm you up like a mai tai. This is Koi no Megalover." The crowd rose up and a few were being tossed in the air among the mosh pits.

"Thank you," Yui said, popping a Vitamin C pill to get her voice back to form. "This is a number that we like from Florence Welch. It's called Cosmic Love."

In the background, a music video of different stock footage of places around HTT's universe were shown. Reina took the lead vocals here.

"A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes

I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark

No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat

I tried to find the sound

But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,

So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark

No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from my eyes, and then I made a map

And knew that somehow I could find my way back

Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too

So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark

No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out

You left me in the dark

No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight

In the shadow of your heart…"

"Thank you, everyone," Reina said.

"Reina Thompson, ladies and gentlemen," Yui said, clapping her hands with the others as Reina took a bow. "Let's up the tempo just a bit. How many of you heard of Avicii?"

Everyone raised their hands.

"Oh my, that's everyone. "So, here is a song by Avicii. Well, it's our take on it. It's called 'Wake Me Up.'" Azusa took lead vocals here.

"Feeling my way through the darkness

Guided by a beating heart

I can't tell where the journey will end

But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand

They say I'm caught up in a dream

Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes

Well that's fine by me

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world

But I only have two hands

Hope I get the chance to travel the world

But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young

Not afraid to close my eyes

Life's a game made for everyone

And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over

When I'm wiser and I'm older

All this time I was finding myself

And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know I was lost

I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)..."

"That may be the first time in a while we did a country song," Mugi said after the crowd applauded.

"That's a country song to you?" said Pinkie's sign, which she held up for the cameras.

"Dontakoi desu!"

"Wooooooooooh!" the male fans roared.

Mio took the microphone. "Our next number includes Reina again. This piece is called 'Untouched." Mio had the lead vocals, with Rita, Rose and Sara doing backup vocals here.

"I go ooh ooh, you go ah ah

lalalalalalalala

I can't lie lie lie lie lie lie

I wanna wanna wanna get get get what I want

Don't stop

Give me give me give me what you got got

Cause I can't wait wait wait any more more more more

Don't even talk about the consequence

Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me

And I don't give a damn what they say, what they think think

Cause you're the only one who's on my mind

I'll never ever let you leave me

I'll try to stop time for ever, never wanna hear you say goodbye (bye bye bye)

I feel so untouched

And I want you so much

That I just can't resist you

It's not enough to say that I miss you

I feel so untouched right now

Need you so much somehow

I can't forget you

Been going crazy from the moment I met you

Untouched

And I need you so much

See you, breathe you, I want to be you

Alalalala alalalala

You can take take take take take time time

To live live the way you gotta gotta live your life

Give me give me give me all of you you

Don't be scared

I'll see you through the loneliness of one more more more

Don't even think about what's right or wrong, wrong or right

'Cause in the end it's only you and me and no one else is gonna be around

To answer all the questions left behind

And you and I are meant to be so even if the world falls down today

You've still got me to hold you up up

And I will never let you down (down)

I feel so untouched

And I want you so much

That I just can't resist you

It's not enough to say that I miss you

I feel so untouched right now

Need you so much somehow

I can't forget you

Been going crazy from the moment I met you

Untouched, untouched, untouched, untouched, untouched

Alalalala alalalala

Untouched

Alalalala alalalala

I feel so untouched

And I want you so much

That I just can't resist you

It's not enough to say that I miss you

I feel so untouched right now

Need you so much somehow

I can't forget you

Been going crazy from the moment I met you

I feel so untouched

And I want you so much

That I just can't resist you

It's not enough to say that I miss you

I feel so untouched right now

Need you so much somehow

I can't forget you

Been going crazy from the moment I met you

Untouched, untouched, untouched..."

"Here is our next number," said Yui. "This piece is called 'Golden Time Lover.' Ritsu!"

"Okay!" She delivered a lead-in cadence.

"Everyone, put your hands together!"

"I can't concentrate, my body is still hesitating

If I'm shaking, even with control the picture blurs

Neither the sun nor luck completely faces my way

'But I still have to do it,' I mutter as if telling myself

The situation is bad, but to simply run away is gutless

I have no prospects, but I'll have to clear it with courage

While holding down my urges, I search the distance for my target

What I need is every amount of pride

Do I taste the wine of victory

or is it the brine of defeat?

It's all one of two possibilities

I want to manipulate the strings of fate

Grasp the perfect Golden Time

I'll lay on a Poker Face with all my might

Drag me into a world of Illusion

Slipping out of an endless Pressure Game

In order to jump over the Border Line of glory

How many? How much will I have to pay?

Which do I not want to relinquish?

Evidence is better than debate; in short the one with results is the winner

Silence is banned; if time passes, we'll be exposed

Sharpen your senses and read the flow with care

What percent is the present winning percentage

To win and be separated is the Game Sense of reality

Is the lurking shadow the devil?

If you're a man

you have to venture forward ready to die bravely

Clap your hands in the face of adversity, cheer me up

Attack by the skin of your teeth with a fresh Fighting style

Attention, it's dangerous, exceed your limits

Carve the greatest Fairy Tale into history

to display the instant of complete victory

Are you ready? Throw away your hesitation

Climb the stairs of Babel

You smile like a goddess

I am enamored by your charm

I fall as I am lured in

The desire that's settled in my heart

An endless dream that swells up

No one can stop me

Grasp the perfect Golden Time

I'll lay on a Poker Face with all my might

Drag me into a world of Illusion

Slipping out of an endless Pressure Game

In order to jump over the Border Line of glory

How many? How much will I have to pay?

Clap your hands in the face of adversity, cheer me up

Attack by the skin of your teeth with a fresh Fighting style

Attention, it's dangerous, exceed your limits

Carve the greatest Fairy Tale into history

A shocking giant reversal, settle it with splendor

Do you know? Fate is meant to be stolen

Bask in the sunlight

shining at the top of Babel…"

"We're now going to play a few songs that we composed since we're saving the best for last," Yui said. "Let's start with 'Listen!'" But instead of Mio doing the vocals, it was Azusa who was doing it, with Mio doing backup.

Mugi did the lead-in, Mio did a little bass, and then Ritsu got the number rolling.

"It's deep, deep inside my heart
In a sanctuary where nothing resonated
Heat, heat! It's on fire so I can't turn back
It's a shock, shock that I'll send you
Saying, "Hey, let's go everywhere together"
Rock, rock! The sound of storms and tsunami tempt each other

A dropped pick, a broken stick
It's not a problem at all
We're in the same sound, that's actually a miracle

We'll sing for how long we feel
No matter how quiet, this is the only song in the world
Even if I die today don't mourn
I want to live my life to the fullest
Release! Passionate
This is our Precious Heartbeat
We'll sing!

Non sweet, sweet! More than sweet words
Your true intentions feel better, right? That's a touch of mind
Wit, wit! It's fun to sing forever and always
Non stop, stop! Because my new feelings
Are hurrying from the light
Rock, rock! I need to catch them with sounds and tell you

A running rhythm, a crazed tuning
It's all in my assumptions
Choosing the same dream, that's the power for tomorrow

We'll shout it out loud even on a far off stage
Because no matter how scared we are, we're not alone
It doesn't matter if it's unfinished
I want to play seriously
Reach! Truthfulness
Finally we could meet, this is our Treasured Heartbeat

We want to know…to live…to love
Make the countless prayers heard,
Turn them into wings so that they can fly high

We'll sing for how long we feel
No matter how quiet, this is the only song in the world
Even if I die today don't mourn
I want to live my life to the fullest
Release! Passionate
This is our Precious Heartbeat
We'll sing! Treasure Heartbeat
Listen!"

"Azunyan!" Yui exclaimed, hugging her lover and giving her a French kiss.

"Mou, Yui, not in front of all these people," she whispered, putting a finger to Yui's lips. That got the boys off in a hurry as the two of them kissed again.

"This is another song that we like, it's called 'My Love Is A Stapler'," said Mio. Ui did a few riffs, Mio added some bass, and once again, Ritsu got the number rolling.

"I wonder why it is
On this worryful night
I'm writing on paper
These feelings to you

Could it be that
I'm just being whimsical?
But the sheets will only
Keep on increasing

An equation to calculate the chances of love
It'd be nice if I had one

My sparkling, shining wishes
Have slopped in with my worries
That's right, let's just staple them together
My mood was only simple at the start
But it got hot inside without me knowing
And somehow the staples no longer go through
Lala, see you tomorrow

I wonder what I should do
Rereading it is embarrassing
Even though all these feelings
Keep being written down

Somehow if these feelings
Get tossed into the trash
My heart would in pain
So I wonder if I should keep them

Now my feelings will be revealed
Searching for words without a dictionary

This plan makes me excited
Expanding it makes me too tired
Let's just staple everything together
Recalling the things I did today
Always makes my chest tighten
I ran out of staples, need to buy some more
Lala, see you tomorrow

My sparkling, shining wishes
Have slopped in with my worries
That's right, let's just staple them together
My mood was only simple at the start
But it got hot inside without me knowing
And somehow the staples no longer go through
Lala, see you tomorrow…"

"Thank you, everyone," said Mio. "How's everybody doing?"

"Marry me, Mio-chan!" exclaimed a fan in the audience. Mio took a bouquet and tossed it to him. He sniffed the flowers and fainted.

"I'm already taken," she said, drawing some groans of disappointment. "Anyway, we're close to finishing up this concert, so here's our next piece. It's called No Thank You!" Mugi's keyboarding got it started.

"We jostle each other around the whiteboard

Making graffiti of our free wishes

Even if the after school chime echoes in the setting sun

You can't diss the power to dream, unfortunately

Let's sing with a louder, louder, louder voice

Carry hope on your lips

Every time when you release words, they turn into light

They're a piece of us

I don't need memories

Because I firmly and deeply love "now"

Getting immersed in my memories is a sweet, adult-like luxury

But not yet…I want to hold back from it

Drawing wildly with a marker in the notebook of my heart

It only has points about how I feel like crying when I get pushed

When I'm with everyone, pain and joy

stick in me with an infinite reverb, how strange

Let's fly always, always, always to the yonder

Our ambition can't wait for the countdown in the tailwind

Every time when I mark the beats, they turn platinum

They're our wings

I don't need promises

Because no one can live besides "now"

Desiring promises is an innocent, child-like frailty

I've already long since…graduated from it

Forever, at any place, I'll certainly keep listening

Even though I don't even need eternity, why can't I seem to lose it?

Our Splendid Songs

Let's sing more, more, more, even if our voices grow hoarse

Praise this moment with your lips

Having maps with the same routes, we were able to encounter each other

It's our bond

NO, Thank You! I don't need memories

Because I firmly and deeply love "now"

Getting immersed in my memories is a sweet, adult-like luxury

But not yet…I want to hold back from it."

"This is our final number, everybody," said Yui.

"Wow, that went quickly, didn't it?" said Rose.

"Sure did," Sara added.

"So this number is called Singing! And we need you all to clap your hands to this one," said Yui. "Don't be shy, you can even get up and dance, if you want!" They all got up. "All right. Here we go!"

Azusa did a few riffs, then the Hirasawas and Mio joined in, and then the number got started.

"Drifting along on the wind, now we can
go to any land or any world, right?
I get overcome by joy at the first sound of a melody
The sun rises and sets on every little day

I can't lie in front of my precious friends
Love has no brakes

Let's advance on a pathless road, the sounds we let out together is our map
I mark our vow in my heart by the beats
Yes, We Go! Yes, We Play!

What colors and what rainbow
will the sweat running from our soaked foreheads and fingers turn into?
A slow running rhythm, disagreements, and conflicts
are everywhere on the one time-only stage in my entire life

I won't get hurt, your smiles taught me
that courage has no limits

I'll even sing a nameless song, the dream we picture together is our wings
When our eyes lock, we know how each other feels
Yes, We Fly! We, We Sing!

Every moment upon moment, ah, won't stop ending
But since they keep ending, they will keep starting
So I'll believe in the future

Let's advance on a pathless road, the place we step out to together is our road
I mark our vow in my heart by the beats
Yes, We Go! Yes, We Fly! Yes, We Play!
Forever and ever… Yes, We are Singing NOW!"

---

"Encore! Encore!" the fans said.

"They want it," said Mio to the others.

"All right, we'll play one more song for all of you," Yui said, roaring. "What song do you want me to play?"

"How about Fuwa Fuwa Time?" asked a fan with glasses over the camera. "The band looked behind them."

"It's Associate Producer No. 2!" exclaimed the band.

"That's right," Associate Producer No. 2 said. "Fans, I'm Associate Producer No. 2, one of two assistant to the Producer of Poke-ON! Hope you enjoyed the concert!" The crowd applauded. "By request, can you finish off the show the way you've always done it?"

Associate Producer No. 1 joined him. "Yeah, let's hear that song. I'm Associate Producer No. 1 by the way. The other guy."

"Let's give it up for our Associate Producers of Poke-ON!, They do a great job," Yui said as everyone applauded and No. 1 and No. 2 took a bow before the screen returned to its normal logo of the HTT insignia. "You've been a great audience. Here's our flagship piece. Fuwa Fuwa Time. Clap your hands!" As they did, Yui got the number rolling, and the fireworks rang out. They continued to go out following the end of the number.

"When I look at you my heart always goes thump thump
Like a marshmallow my swaying feelings are light and fluffy
Even though I'm continuously looking at your diligent profile
You don't notice
Even if it's just a dream I can close the distance between the two of us

O God please
Give me Dream Time just between the two of us
Holding my favorite bunny I go to sleep again tonight

Light and fluffy time, Light and fluffy time, Light and fluffy time

Impulsively my heart throbs painfully again today
Reading too much into your dry smile I Overheat!
Someday your serious face that I witnessed before
Will come floating along even if I close me eyes
Because it's okay in a dream I want Sweet time between just the two of us

O God why
Is it painful to fall head over heels in love during Dream night
If I take out my precious teddy bear I wonder if I will be fine tonight?

If I show a little courage
And talk naturally
I wonder if anything will change
I feel like that but…

(But that's the hardest part
How do I find a chance to talk
Y'know by the time I think about what to say it's completely unnatural
Oh geez, no! Time to sleep, sleep, sleep~!)

O God please
Just this once please give me Miracle time
If I could say it smoothly, afterward…something or another will change

Light and fluffy time, Light and fluffy time, Light and fluffy time…"

"Perhaps they should do this every concert," Lucy said.

"They should but they can't keep playing the same songs forever," Erza said, "They need to come up with something new."

"Well, they did play a few covers."

"Quite a few. I'll give them that. Still, they need to think outside the box."

"Touche."

At the afterparty, which was held at the spacious Fuchsia Inn, Miss Sawako was escorted by the band, who were back in their white coats, black slacks and silver shoes. "Why am I being escorted?"

"We have a surprise for you," Yui said. "We nearly forgot something."

"What did you forget?"

"Finally, she's here," Rainbow Dash said at the podium. "Ladies and gentlemen, mares and gentlecolts and Pokemon alike, a number of days ago, it was the birthday of Hokago Tea Time's band manager, Miss Sawako Yamanaka. So we want to celebrate her legacy with a little video talking about the work she's done."

Sawako took a seat on a special throne-style seat made for her. She watched interviews of the band, and other people talking about her, as well as some bonus footage of Sawako at work, as well as some behind-the-scenes clips and bloopers. The video concluded with Sawako doing a special interview about her work and the band.

"My name is Rarity, and I am Sawako Yamanaka's ride," the pony said, taking the stage as a cake was wheeled into the buffet table. "I want to congratulate Miss Sawako, who is also the second coming of Xena, since I am also the second coming of Gabrielle, on another year of being alive and helping make HTT the success that it is, on and off the stage."

"Thank you," said Sawako taking the podium. "It's not easy being a band manager and having to also be a Pokemon trainer and an action hero that gets kicked around all day and get her clothes ripped to pieces. But at the end of the day, I'm a band manager, in and out of the show, and these wonderful ladies are the best musicians in the world, and it's always an honor to be a part of their lives.

"So thank you to everyone, and to those who are here at this afterparty. Help yourselves to some really great food from our caterers at House Foods, who are our official caterers of the show and of our band, and also talk to our musicians and be sure to take plenty of pictures. Thank you all for coming, and thank you for remembering that it was my birthday several days ago. Thank you everyone!" She took a bow as the others delivered a standing ovation before they went back to eating, talking amongst themselves and meeting the band.

"Another concert is down and we finally got to see Butch and Cassidy blast off," Rita said, relaxing at one of the tables with a full plate.

"It's too bad we couldn't capture Kaos in the process," Reina said, "But at least we have our Pokémon back so that counts the most."

"I can't believe I'm actually an aunt now," Mio said as she and Fluttershy were putting Carefree Heart and Wind Rider to bed.

"You think I would be a good mother?" asked Fluttershy.

"With all the animals you care for? Are you kidding?" asked Spike, walking in.

"You would make a great mother," Mio assured her.

"Spike would you take a letter please?" asked Fluttershy.

"Sure," Spike said getting a quill and some paper out.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

This is Fluttershy writing to you. We're sending you a video of what happened earlier today, as well as some lewd photos that the show's producer sent us. I can tell you that I'm now a mother of two young foals, Carefree Heart and Wind Rider. I hope they grow up to be great Pegasii just like me. We look forward to keeping you posted on the next happenings regarding the team so stay tuned.

Sincerely,

Fluttershy and the Mane Six."

"Signed sealed and delivered," Spike said sending it off.

The narrator, who was a new narrator, added some artificial suspense. "Our heroes just finished another concert after getting undressed and redressed by the Producer. Whose side is he on? Is he a good guy or a bad guy? What will happen to our heroes?"

"I'm on both sides, by the way, me and my associates," the Producer said as a couple of security members took the narrator away.

"What the…hey! Hey!"

"See you next time on Poke-ON!" He then places a paper on the camera, and the credits rolled.

"Can this show get any cornier?" Kohei asked, flipping the channel back to some figure skating. It was the team competition. 10 countries in a battle royale.

"It makes a lot of money," Nodoka said. The two of them spent the rest of the night watching some Olympic action.
