Episode 170: Pokémon, Ninjas, Fairies, and Ponies Part 3
In Equestria, the Alolan nine had been settled in their guest rooms in Canterlot Castle and they were being escorted to the dining room of the castle. Along with them is Spike, carrying Flurry Heart, picking her up from her grandparents home.
"The princesses will be expecting you," the butler said.
"Thank you," Lillie simply said. The Alolan nine had taken out their Pokéballs and let out their Pokémon just so as they can eat the Pokémon food Kairi had recently made for them. Flurry got out of Spike's hold and went right up to Snowy. Spike was worried about some of them scaring the infant alicorn; especially Gyarados. She hugged the white fox Pokémon and she loved how she felt. All of the Alolan nine's Pokémon instatnly liked the little baby right away, because she reminded them all of Togepi. Just then, Spike grabbed Flurry and seated her in her highchair just as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna entered the dining room and they were surprised to see the Pokémon for the first time.
"May I presume that those creatures are Pokémon?" Princess Celestia asked.
"Yes, your highness. I hope we're not over stepping our bounds," Lillie said.
"Not at all, Lillie. They are welcome to join us if they like," Princess Celestia assured. "I have been wondering about them for quite sometime."
"Thank you for understanding," Lillie said.
"It's very nice of you, your highness," Illima said.
"Now, we have much to discuss," Princess Luna said.
"You are right, Luna," Princess Celestia agreed. Just then, the head chef came in with serveal unicorns entering the dining room.
"Dinner is served," the head chef said. The uniconrs placed their plates down and it turns out to be soups, salads and several vegetarian delicacies. A bowel of gems for Spike. "Bon appetit."
"Are they seriously serving us this?" Sophocles asked.
"Don't be rude, Sophocles! Those chefs went through the trouble to make it, so the least you can do eat it!" Mallow hissed at him.
"She's right! None of it is going to kill you!" Hapu said.
"At least it's not hay and oats," Sophocles said in his thoughts.
"Please, dig in. Enjoy," the princess said. Not needing a second opionion, everyone stared digging into their meal and the Pokémon started eating their food.
"My sister and I would like to hear about the world you all came from," Princess Luna said.
"Well, if you insist. As Spike and Sunburst had already had pointed out, we came from a world that we humans share with Pokémon. All of us came from the Alola region," Illima said.
"Yes, Spike had mentioned that before," Princess Celestia remembered.
"We all attended a school where we can learn all about Pokémon. Things like how they live in the wild and how to take care of them and about what attacks they can use," Kiawe said.
"And about which Types they are," Lillie said.
"Types?" Princess Celestia asked.
"Pokémon all have different typings, and the same for their attacks," Lillie said. "Those Types happens to be Normal, Fighting, Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Bug, Ghost, Steel, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Dark, and Fairy."
"And how many kinds are there so far?" Princess Luna asked.
"It's pretty hard to answer, but so far there are at least more than eight hundred known Pokémon, but the discoveries are boundless," Lillie said.
"Incredible. If Twilight were here, she would be obessed and she would want to study every one of them," Princess Celestia said, laughing.
"Yes, sister. She would go what Shining Armor would say, 'Twiliynanas' and have herself a field day," Princess Luna added, also laughing.
"Twilynanas?" Lana asked, trying not to laugh.
"That's what he called it whenever Twilight would be obsessing over something," Princess Celestia explained. "It's been like that since she was a filly."
"What was Twilight like back in those days?" Acerola asked.
"It was years ago. It was after Sunset Shimmer, my student before her had left after she did not get what she wanted. I didn't know what to do after that and that's was when something unpexpected happened. Twilight had displayed her magic in ways not even I would have imagined. So, I took her in as my student and began teaching her everything I know. But, I had not forgotten Sunset Shimmer and I had worried about my former student and hoped she was okay. Years had passed and Twilight had accelerated in ways I couldn't believe. But I knew there would be a day that I had to send her away," Celestia explained.
"Send her away?" Mallow asked.
"Yes. But there was a place I knew she would be accepted. A place called Ponyville; but you are already familiar with it after a short time," Celestia said.
"We are familiar with the stares we got when we were walking down the streets," Hapu said.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"Did you send her there?" Lillie asked.
"I did eventually, but to be honest, I didn't know if I should send her on her own. I ended up keeping her around much longer than I should have. But the day came when I sent her off to Ponyville when I saw the signs that Nightmare Moon is closer to return," Princess Celestia explained.
"Nightmare Moon?" Kiawe asked.
"I shall answer that, my sister," Luna stepped up. Celestia nodded as she understood. "It was a thousand years ago and back then, ponies had played in the day while ponies slept in the night. I felt so unappreciated and my jealousy got the better of me and I just refused to set the moon just so she could raise the sun."
"You can raise the sun and moon?" Sophocles asked.
"Indeed. Now, if I may continue, as my bitterness had taken hold, I transformed into Nightmare Moon," Luna explained.
"Wait a minute, you mean one of those murals was you two going at it?" Lana asked.
"I'm afraid it's true, Lana," Celestia said. "I tried to reason with my younger sister, but nothing I said could get through to her. So, I had to make the most difficult decision of my life; I had to banish my own sister." The Alolan nine didn't know how to react to that.
"Where did you banish her?" Mina asked.
"To the moon," Celestia simply answered. "And there she stayed for a thousand years. Until I had seen the signs. It was thanks to Twilight and her friends that my sister is back and the Elements of Harmony had been awakened once more."
"Elements of Harmony?" Lillie asked.
"What are those?" Mallow asked.
"They are the most powerful artifacts in Equestria's history. They have the magic and power to bring harmony to everypony in Equestria. There are six altogether. The elements of honesty, kindness, laughter, generosity, loyalty, and magic," Celestia explained.
"Did you use those on Discord too? I remember seeing those in the mural before Nightmare Moon's," Illima pointed out.
"Yes. They were used to turn Discord into stone," Celestia said.
"We met him actually," Hapu said. "But why isn't he stone right now?"
"Because he has been reformed, sort of," Luna said. "That was her idea." She points to her older sister.
"What do you mean?" Acerola asked.
"After a millennium of being trapped in his petrified prison, Discord had escaped to wreak havoc as he did long ago. He stole the Elements of Harmony and hid them in the Golden Oaks Library while Twilight and her friends searched through the maze, but Discord had made them the opposite of their elements and he almost succeeded if I hadn't sent back the letters she had sent me to report her findings about friendship," Celestia explained. "But fortunately, Discord had been imprisoned once again and there he stayed until I came up an idea with the intention of reforming him."
"Well, we already got a taste of his chaos," Hapu said.
"And not to mention, he did know a huge deal about us and Sora and Kairi," Kiawe said.
"Can you explain about your experience in this place called Ultra Space and about these Ultra Beasts?" Luna asked.
"It's like this, your highnesses. We were heading for Mahogany Town for Sora to get a Gym Badge from the Gym Leader there. And according to the guidebook, the Gym Leader is said to be named Pryce and he specializes in Ice Type Pokémon," Illima explained.
"Just before that, we just happened to bump into a friend and Sora was challenged into a battle," Sophocles said.
"And Sora won it just after taking out two of them; both were Pokémon we never seen before. A Drizzile and a Galarian Form Ponyta," Lillie said.
"And not long after that, we got pulled into Ultra Space and we were trying to find a way out," Hapu said.
"What happened after that?" Celestia asked.
"We searched for a way out when we almost got crushed in a rock slide," Kiawe said.
"And we blindly ran into another Ultra Wormhole, but it took us in here in Equestria instead," Lillie said.
"And I already told the princesses the rest," Spike said, taking a bite of a gem.
"Though we only been in your world less than a day, but I gotta admit, it's not too bad," Hapu said.
"We could see what else is here while we're trying to figure a way out," Kiawe said.
"I'm glad to hear that. And just so you know, you are welcome here, any time," Celestia said. "The same for your friends, Sora and Kairi as well."
The Alolan nine smiled as they felt welcomed in a magical land. They were still worried about Sora and Kairi and they wondered if they would see them again.
Back in Earthland, Sora, Kairi, and the Pokémon followed Lucy back to her home as the Ninja Turtles stayed over at the guildhall, April staying at an all girls buidling called Fairy Hills, and the ponies staying over at the Connell's house.
"You sure it's okay for us to crash at your place, Lucy? Kairi and I don't wanna inconvience you," Sora said.
"It's okay, Sora. I just thought it'll be best that you don't end up being cooped up at Natsu's house since his bad influence might rub off on you," Lucy said. "That and the mess he's used to living in."
"But the turtles are probably used to it since living in the sewers," Sora said.
"But according to April, the rat's the cleanest one," Kairi said as she giggled. That Sora laugh and he places his arm around Kairi. Lucy smiled as she looked right back at them.
"You know something, I think the two of you are such a cute couple. It doesn't take a Princess of Love to see that," Lucy said.
"Say Lucy. Why did you join Fairy Tail in the first place? I mean, just curious," Sora stated.
"I just wanted to get out and see the world. And also help out people everywhere I went," Lucy said.
"I call it a good reason," Sora said.
"The day I met Natsu and Happy is something I wouldn't forget for a lifetime," Lucy said. "I can share that with you when we get inside." Lucy led her guests to her apartment. She made a stop.
"Why are you making us stop, Lucy?" Kairi asked.
"Just wanted to make sure, that my place isn't compromised," Lucy said. She peeks inside and saw the place was clear. "Whew. That's a relief. It's clear. But just to make sure." She checks her bed and sees that it's clear. She gestures the couple to enter.
"What was that about?" Sora asked.
"Sorry about that. Just wanted to make sure there weren't any freeloaders hiding anywhere in here," Lucy said.
"It's okay. We had our share of unwanted visitors," Kairi said.
"If you're talking about the moron trio, then you're reading my mind," Sora said laughing.
"Moron trio?" Lucy asked confused.
"He's talking about some bad guys from an organization called Team Rocket; a girl named Jessie, a guy named James, and a cat-like Pokémon called a Meowth; and he talks," Kairi answered.
"Team Rocket? Who and what is that?" Lucy asked.
"Team Rocket is an organization that has their members steal Pokémon from other trainers. And they use the Pokémon they own to commit all sorts of crimes," Sora explained.
"They steal Pokémon and they use theirs for crimes? How could they do such a thing? That's unforgivable!" Lucy hissed, feeling disgusted.
"Tell us about it. We actually stopped them rather than the usual idiots. There was that one time in the Pokémon Tower when they tried to make it their secret base. And again in the Slowpoke Well," Sora said. "And there were those two, Attila and Hun."
"Not to mention back on the Whirl Islands when they tried to get to Ultra Space to take Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma," Kairi added.
"You two ware talking like you know more than you were letting on about the Ultra Beasts. Just what are they exactly?" Lucy asked.
"As you already know, they're from Ultra Space. But here's what you don't know. They came to our world a long time ago in a place called the Alola region," Sora explained.
"The Alola region?" Lucy asked.
"That's where our friends came from. It's made up of four islands; Melemele Island, Akala Island, Ula'ula Island, and Poni Island," Sora explained.
"The Ultra Beasts had battled against the four Island Guardians; each of the four islands," Kairi explained.
"Watching over Melemele Island is Tapu Koko, looking over Akala Island is Tapu Lele, watching over Ula'ula Island is Tapu Bulu, and watching over Poni Island is Tapu Fini," Sora explained.
"Why do they all have Tapu in their names?" Lucy asked.
"Don't know, we didn't ask that," Sora said. "As the Island Guardians battled the Ultra Beasts, their battle almost destroyed the Alola region. They even battled against the legendary Pokémon, Solgaleo and Lunala."
"Legendary Pokémon?" Lucy asked.
"The four Island Guardians are legendary Pokémon themselves. To answer that, they're Pokémon that are said to be from made-up stories and legends. But, we actually seen some and know they're not a legend," Kairi said. Lucy was amazed to hear that the couple had such experiences in the past.
"You mentioned before that the Island Guardians battled two others right?" Lucy asked.
"Yep. The Island Guardians got creamed, but they didn't destroy them. Another Pokémon played a huge role, which is turns out to be another Ultra Beast called Necrozma," Sora explained.
"Necrozma and the others went back into Ultra Space as did Solgaleo and Lunala. But, they created small Pokémon called Cosmog and left them in the care of the Island Guardians until they had evolved fully into Solgaleo or Lunala," Kairi added.
"I can't believe something like that happened so long ago," Lucy said.
"Like you're the only one, Lucy," Kairi said. "But you never really answered our question about how you met Natsu and joined Fairy Tail."
"You're right, Kairi, I didn't. I came to a port town called Hargeon on my way to this town. And I heard some girls saying that a wizard going by the name of Salamander was in town and that Salamander is a mamber of the Fairy Tail guild," Lucy explained.
"What exactly are guilds and what do they do?" Sora asked.
"You mean there aren't guilds for Pokémon trainers like you?" Lucy asked.
"No. Like we already told you, we went on a journey and catch all sorts of Pokémon. But there are schools where you learn about it," Sora said.
"Oh, okay. Answering your question about guilds, they're organizations of wizards to share information and find work, but you can't do that until you become a full fledged member of the guild," Lucy explained. "Getting back to my story, I was struck by a charm spell into hypnotizing the ladies in town to think they were in love with the guy wearing it."
"What are charm spells?" Kairi asked.
"Charm spells have the power to attract people to it against their own will. They've been banned by law for many years and none of the magic shops even sells them anymore," Lucy explained.
"If it messes with your will then it's no wonder it's aginst the law and why no one has them in their shops. How did you snap out of it?" Sora asked.
"Natsu and Happy came along and snapped me out of it. Fortunately, I wasn't effected by it the second time when I ran into that guy again, because it doesn't affect anyone who are aware of it," Lucy explained.
"What were Natsu and Happy doing there?" Sora asked.
"They were looking into the Salamander investigation when he thought that this Salamander was his foster dad Igneel," Lucy said.
"The dragon who raised Natsu?" Kairi asked.
"Yeah. I thought it was stupid of him to think that a fire dragon would just be in the middle of the city. Natsu never could think anything through," Lucy said.
"And I thought he just didn't pay attention when he got my name wrong," Sora said.
"Pika, Pika," Pikachu said.
"But at least I learned from my mistakes. Right buddy?" Sora asked. He pets Pikachu on the head.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu said.
"And you had me to tag along," Kairi added. Sora chuckled nervously. "So, what happened when you met him again?"
"He told me that he was from Fairy Tail and he was going to let me in, but it turns out that he was a fake and a wizard named Bora and he was a female slave trader," Lucy explained. "He lied to me and he tricked me. Luckily, Natsu came along and saved me from that creep and beaten him. And he destroyed some of the town doing it." Sora and Kairi were stunned to hear about the experience she went through and about how powerful Natsu is.
"Oh man," Sora could only say.
"Pika," Pikachu added.
"I'm with you, Sora," Kairi also added.
"Toge, Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
"After that I became an offical member of Fairy Tail. I can't tell you what crazy experiences I had since then," Lucy said. "And all kinds of crazy people that came along."
"You mean like that one buffed up guy that keeps saying something being a real man?" Sora remember seeing a large muscular man with white hair, similair to Mirajane. "And that one girl who drank out of a barrel."
"Not to mention that one guy who was eating iron," Kairi added. She was remebered seeing a man who looked like one of those bikers and he had what looks like bolts on his head. And he had a cat that was like happy and Carla, but he was like a panther and he had a small sword on his back.
"That one guy you were thinking of is Elfman; and in case you didn't figure it out, he's Mirajane's little brother. And that girl drinking out of a barrel is Cana. And the guy eating iron is Gajeel. And he's an Iron Dragon Slayer," Lucy explained.
"And he was raised by Metalicana, right?" Sora guessed.
"You got that right. At least you pay attention better than a certain Dragon Slayer I know," Lucy said. And speak of the devil, Natsu goes in through her window.
"Hey, that was uncalled for, Luce!" Natsu said, crawling in through the window.
"Aye!" Happy added.
Lucy gave them a smack at the side of their heads as she screamed.
"I KEEP TELLING YOU TO KNOCK! AND USE THE DOOR!" Lucy yelled. Sora and Kairi looked at the display with shock as Natsu and Happy sat on the floor with red blazing bumps on their heads. "Sorry you two had to see that. This sort of thing happens all the time."
"Is that right?" Kairi asked.
A few minutes later, Natsu and Happy got over their pain and sat Natsu down between the couple. Happy sat between the Pichu, eating some fish. The Pichu stared right the the blue exceed. Pikachu turned to his little brothers.
"What kind of Pokémon are you?" - Shiny Pichu subtitle.
"You're not any Pokémon I ever seen." - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle. Both Pichu kept asking some questions in their own language and Happy doesn't understand anything they're saying, but Natsu does. Pikachu stepped in.
"Stop pestering Happy, you two! It's rude to ask so many questions!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Don't be so hard on them. They were only curious," Natsu said. That confuses Sora so much.
"How can you understand Pikachu anyway?" Sora asked.
"It's really a Dragon Slayer thing," Happy said.
"Say, what about those other things you have? Some of the big ones?" Natsu asked interested.
"You mean our other Pokémon? Can't let the big ones out because of the place being cramped for them; but I have others who I can let out," Sora said, taking out two Pokéballs. He lets out Larvitar and Meltan. Kairi lets out Raichu, Abra, Magby, Tyrogue, and Machop. "Here are two of mine, Larvitar and Meltan. The ones you also saw were Maganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr."
"Raichu, Abra, Tyrogue, Machop, and Magby are mine," Kairi added. Natsu picks up Meltan and it lets out its little squeals.
"Look at how tiny it is!" Natsu said, laughing and poking it.
"I be careful if I were you or else-" Sora's sentence was cut when Meltan shocked Natsu with its Thunder Shock, -" something like that will happen." Natsu drops Meltan and it rushes back to Sora. It peeks at the necklace and drooled at the sight of it. Sora saw that coming. "No you don't, Meltan! My necklace isn't for you to eat! We've been over this!" Meltan tried to get to Sora's necklace only for Kairi to take it by the hex nut head and place it on the ground. "Thanks Kairi."
"It's my pleasure, Sora," Kairi said. Sora smiled as she kissed him on the cheek, making him blush.
"Ooh, you two are in love," Happy teased.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted as he swung his tail right at Happy and right out the window.
"AYE!" Happy shouted as he went flying straight into the moon.
"Serves you right, cat." - Pikachu subtitle.
"Why is that necklace so important to you?" Natsu asked.
"It's a family heirloom. My dad had this before I did and his dad had it before him and so on," Sora explained.
"Really? Is it a symbol of royalty in the world you're from?" Lucy asked.
"No," Sora simply said.
"But you're not wrong to think it," Kairi added.
"Then what?" Lucy asked.
"It's a symbol of knighthood. Ever since I was a little kid my mom would often tell me that I was descended from a long line of knights," Sora explained.
"Seriously?! You mean you're a knight?" Natsu asked.
"I said I'm descended from a long line of knights!" Sora corrected him.
"But it's pretty cool to have a bloodline like that. And I can bet that you're Kairi's knight," Lucy said. Happy pops back up.
"And those ponies would go crazy to hear it," Happy added. Pikachu pounched on Happy.
"How did you get back here so fast?!" - Pikachu subtitle.
Back at the Fairy Tail guild hall, the Ninja Turtles were eating was left of their pizzas.
"The pizza here is just as awesomely tasty as the pizza back home," Mikey said and he lets out a loud burp.
"You've said it, Mikey. Didn't think that they had it here," Raph said, picking his teeth with a toothpick.
"If it wasn't obvious about Lucy, Erza, and Mirajane; dibs," Mikey said.
"I wouldn't would go that far, Mikey," Leo said.
"Those chicks totally dug me, Leo," Mikey said.
"Erza would probably dig a grave for you, Mikey," Raph said.
"And one for you, Raph," Donnie said.
"Was that supposed to be a crack, Donnie?" Raph hissed.
"It would be if Gray had succeeded to crack your shell," Donnie said.
"How about I crack yours!" Raph scowled, his his fist to punch Donatello. Leo stopped him by grabbing his arm.
"Raph! Cool off!" Leo told his brother. "We all need to cool off. Our fight with Erza, Natsu, and Gray had sapped our strength and we need to sleep it off."
"Why do we have to stay here when we know they'll be coming back tomorrow morning when we should be looking for that monster they're talking about?" Raph asked.
"Because we don't know our way around this world like they do and I have doubts we could survive from that thing," Leo said.
"Leo's right, Raph. There's no guarantee that we can survive from that thing. Do any of you remember seeing some footprints in the area?" Donnie asked.
"Now that you mention it, Don, I think I saw one of those," Mikey said.
"We all did," Leo said. "And I have a feeling that it could be something that would even scare the Shredder."
"Dudes, what if one of those Ultra Beasties Sora and Kairi told us about?" Mikey asked.
"There is a possibility of that, Mikey," Donnie said. "I did look into the Pokémon data I required from Sora's Pokédex on my T-Phone and I'm going to say that I'm stoked to see how many of them have strong resemblence to many plants and animals back on Earth. And not to mention some that looks like inanimate objects. And there being some that have different appearences depending on where they could be from and where..." Donnie went on before Raph interuppted.
"I'm sure that's real fascinating, Donnie, but could you save more when I do care?" Raph sarcastically asked. Donnie glared at the red-clad turtle.
"We'll think more about what to do first thing in the morning. Right now we have to get some sleep," Leo said.
"Right," Raph, Donnie, and Mikey said.
The Ninja Turtles all went up to the medical wing of the guild and to catch some z's. Meanwhile, the ponies didn't take long to settled in, but Cadance and Shining Armor were wide awake.
"Shining Armor, I can't stop thinking about Flurry. I don't wanna imagine what it'll be like if she had grown up and not know who her mother and father are," Cadance said.
"Or about her aunt too. But you shouldn't worry too much, because Sunburst is with her. And I'm sure Spike is doing his part to help out. He's always been there for Twily ever since she was a filly," Shining Armor said.
"I know. But, I don't wanna take that chance," Cadance said.
"I know you don't. Twily will think of something. She always does," Shining Armor said. The Princess of Love smiled at how conforting her husband is and she nuzzled him.
"Thank you, Shining Armor. This is why I love you," Cadance said.
"I love you too, Cadance," Shining Armor said.
Shining Armor and Cadance kissed each other and fell asleep together along with Twilight and the others. Pinkie Pie was sleeping on the same bed as the little girl with dark green hair, holding her like a stuffed animal.
Over to Lucy's apartment, Lucy wasn't too thrilled that Natsu had to occupy her bed while she slept on the floor. Sora and Kairi ended up sharing a blanket together.
"Great. Natsu sleeps on my warm bed and I have to sleep on the floor like a dog. I really need to change my locks," Lucy said in her thoughts. She glances to Sora and Kairi.
"Need an extra blanket there, Kairi?" Sora asked.
"Thanks, but I think I'm good," Kairi said. She looked right at Sora and she became concerned when he was making a worried face. "What's wrong, Sora?"
"Just thinking about Lillie and the others. I can't stop worrying about them. I mean, what if something happened to them while they're in Ultra Space, if they're even in there," Sora said.
"They'll be okay, Sora. They have each other. You remember hearing their past experience in it before," Kairi said.
"Yeah, I know. But, that was just a rescue mission. Riku, Gladion, Hau, and the rest went in to rescue Lusamine; even though he and Lillie wanted to do it on their own, just because it's their mom," Sora said. "But, it's not just our friends I'm worried about. There's also my mom, your grandma, our other Pokémon, my aunt and uncle, Ven, Aqua, Terra, also Riku, Naminé, Gladion, Hau, Ethan, Kris, Lyra, Tai, Takuya, Takato, and everyone else. They're probably worried about us by now."
"You're right. They would be terribly worried," Kairi said. She thought of something. "Wait a minute! Why don't you try to make contact with Lusamine and maybe she can try to find an Ultra Wormhole to where we are? And maybe help the turtles, April, and the ponies too."
"No good. I already tried it. We are way out of range," Sora said. "It was worth a try."
"Bummer," Kairi sighed sadly.
"But it's not too bad," Sora said.
"Why not?" Kairi asked.
"Because I got to experience it with you," Sora said lovingly.
"Sora, I," Kairi can only say before the couple kiss each other on the lips so passionately. Lucy smiled and cried tears of joy witnessing something so romantic.
"Oh, that is so sweet," Lucy said tearfully in her thoughts. They parted lips and they both started to sleep soundly.
In Equestria, the boys shares a room with Spike and the girls shares one together. Sophocles tried to sleep, but he was having a hard time doing so. The same can be said for Illima and Kiawe.
"Kiawe, Illima, are you guys still awake? I just can't seem to sleep. It's not the same without Sora's snoring," Sophocles said. Kiawe sat up.
"I know what you mean. I can't remember one night I haven't slept without hearing his snores," Kiawe said.
"We are only used to it, but I do agree with Sophocles, it's not the same," Illima said. "I would even try the recordings of a snoring Snorlax, but even that would be a poor substitute."
"I just hope the girls are sleeping better than we are," Kiawe said.
Over to the girls, they ended up having their own private slumber party trying to do what they can to make the best of their situation. The baby alicorn, being held by Lillie just so she could play with Snowy before bed time.
"So, ladies, what do we do first?" Mallow asked.
"How about we tell ghost stories?" Acerola suggested.
"No," Mina said.
"The ones you tell are too scary," Lillie said.
"Remember when you did that the last time? My sisters had to sleep in my bed for a week!" Lana stated.
Lana remembered that one ghost story about some girls getting lost and turned into zombies and ended up with nightmares so bad she gave the Ghost Type trainer several pieces of her mind.
"How many times do I have to say that I'm sorry?" Acerola asked.
"Once is absolutely enough; especially when it came to little kids!" Lana hissed.
"So you kept telling me," Acerola said.
The rest of the girls laughed. They had to admit, they wished Kairi, Aqua, and Naminé were with them, because they would so have a good time with them. Just then a knock came at the door.
"I should go see who it is," Lillie said, standing up. She wondered who could be coming so late in the night and to Lillie's surprise, it was Princess Celestia who was standing outside. "P-P-Princess?!" The rest of the girls were just as surprised. "We weren't making too much noise, were we? We'll try to keep it down."
"Not at all, Lillie. Just wanted to know if you have room for one more," Celestia said. "That's if it's okay with you. But don't treat me any differently just because I'm a princess."
"It won't be a problem your-" Lillie paused. "I mean, Celestia."
"The more the merrier," Mallow said.
"I'm glad you feel that way," Celestia said. "What do you have in mind?"
"I think I have an idea," Hapu said, smacking Lillie in the face with her pillow.
"Okay, that's it!" Lillie stated. She swings her pillow at Hapu and she ducks out of the way and hits Mina in the face.
"It's on," Mina said. She smacks both Lillie and Hapu in an act of vengeance. The three girls smacked each other with their pillows and Lana stepped up.
"Come on, you two. Do you have to act like you're five-years old?" Lana asked. Lillie, Mina, and Hapu looked at each other and they both smacked Lana with their pillows, and laughing while they did it. "You three are no different from Sarah and Harper!"
"Help is on the way, Lana!" Mallow said, smacking Hapu with her pillow. "Serves you three right."
"Thanks Mallow," Lana said.
"Anytime Lana," Mallow said.
"Hey, it's three against one, so the both of you are outnumbered," Lillie warned them.
"Not for long!" Acerola corrected the blonde. She smacks her in the face. "Now it's an even match!"
"Bring it on, ghost girl!" Hapu dared her.
The six girls smacked their opponents with their pillows and Celestia had joined in by smacking all six of them by using her magic, emitting a golden yellow aura. They all stared at the alicorn, grinning so innocently.
"Why are all of you looking at me?" Celestia asked, playing innocent. The girls all pummeled the princess with their pillows and she laughs along with them. Flurry Heart even got into the action and smacks everyone and laughed themselves hard as feathers flew everywhere. "I feel just like a filly again. It's been so long since I had this kind of fun."
"Didn't you do this kind of thing with Luna?" Mallow asked.
"Back when Luna and I were younger before Star Swirl the Beareded became our teacher," Celestia said. "She would have loved this."
"Where is she right now?" Lillie asked.
"She's currently patrolling the dream realm. That's the task that comes when you're the Princess of the Night," Celestia said.
"You mean she can go into a pony's dream?" Lillie asked.
"Yes. She does that to banish nightmares and give them advice about how to deal with their nightmares," Celestia explained.
"But couldn't you do that?" Hapu asked.
"I'm afraid not. My magic has no power in the realm of dreams. Nopony calls her the Princess of the Night for nothing," Celestia said.
"I didn't think they would," Mallow said.
"I have been hearing about so much about Sora and Kairi, but I would like to know what they're like?" Celestia asked.
"Well, Sora is a bit on the childish side, but he's a pretty skilled Pokémon trainer. Kairi is a pretty sweet and kind girl; and I can see why Sora fell for her.," Mallow said.
"Is she a trainer herself?" Celestia asked.
"She wasn't when we first met her, not until she first got her Togepi," Lillie said.
"Is Togepi her first Pokémon?" Celestia asked.
"Yeah," Mina said.
"All of us were supposed to witness the hatching, but Togepi was already hatched before we got there," Hapu said.
"That's right, I remember you mentioning they hatch from eggs," Celestia said.
"Kairi did a pretty good job raising Togepi and we were surprised to see Togepi was able to use some moves we didn't think he knew," Mallow said.
"Actually, I was wondering about something since dinner. How did you meet them to begin with?" Celestia asked.
"It's like this. All of us left the Alola region to find our friend Riku and go on our own journey in the process," Lillie said. "And that's when we met Sora and Kairi."
"Sora battled Riku and he lost. So, we thought we go with them just to see what else there in Kanto," Lana said.
"We met all kinds of people and seen different kinds of Pokémon too. We even watched Sora's Gym battles and won his Gym Badges; and those Gym Leaders were tougher than we thought they would be," Hapu said.
"Sora had earned eight of those badges and entered the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League and he won it," Acerola said.
"Pokémon League?" Celestia asked.
"It's a tournament that is held every year when a trainer had won eight Gym Badges," Mallow said.
"And he became so famous, but he was so popular with the girls before that anyway," Lana added.
"After that, we began our journey into the Johto region to make an important delivery and to for Sora to enter the Johto region's Pokémon League," Lillie said.
"If I recall, Illima mentioned you were on your way to a place called Mahogany Town. How many bagdes has Sora won since entering a new land?" Celestia asked.
"Six," Mina said.
"And he just needed two more," Acerola said.
"Also, I recall you mentioning this Gym Leader uses Ice Types. Do all of the others uses a specific Type?" Celestia said.
"They do. They also try some things to make it challenging for the challengers," Lillie said.
"And that's what we found out," Mallow added.
"And the Island Kahunas were nothing to sneeze at; especially my grandpa," Hapu said.
"But it also led to us to seeing Hau again. Also Gladion," Lana said.
"Who's Gladion?" Celestia asked.
"He's my older brother," Lillie answered.
Celestia wasn't surprised to hear the Alolan nine all had friends and family, but she kinda wished she could meet them if she could travel through different dimensions and help the Alolan nine get home.
"It sounds to me that you are an interesting bunch. I should head off to bed now. I suggest you do the same, becuase you wanna have an early start first thing tomorrow morning and I have some duties I must attend as well," Celestia said.
"Not a bad idea. We distracted ourselves long enough and I'm sure we'll get back home, somehow," Lillie said.
"Lillie's right. We just need to have faith that we'll get back somehow," Mallow said. With that said, the princess of the sun had left for her bed chambers. The girls have managed to fal right to sleep as soon as they laid down. Flurry clinged to Snowy and the white fox Pokémon slept soundly in the infant alicorn's hold.
Back in Earthland, it was now morning and four men are investingating the ruins of the bandit camp and the latest monster sighting. One is a short and rather stout man with a distinctively big, somewhat rectangular face, a large, flat nose that appears to be shining, and a prominent cheekbones. He had dark eyes and thick eyebrows with a pair of lines pointing towards the nose below them, and a prominent chin. He had orange wavy hair styled with spikes jutting outwards. He wore short pants losing the dark hems, his jacket seemingly covering a plain shirt which is dark in the lower part, and his shoes being dark.
One slim young man of average height with spiky, somewhat messy brownish blond hair framing his face. He has dark eyes and noticeably long eyelashes. He wore a dark vest, adorned by a pair of light wings pointing outwards over the chest, together with a light, plain shirt. He also wore dark pants and shoes.
The other is a slim young man of average height with dark, spiky hair reaching down to his shoulders, with long strands framing his face. Each of his eyebrows juts upwards in a pair of thin spikes, and he's distinguished by his dark skin. His clothing is a black suit with the jacket left open, a leopard patterned shirt, whose similarly open collar reveals a small metal necklace circling his neck, and polished, dark dress shoes.
And the third one a slim, rather young man with blonde hair that is slightly messy. He had large dark green eyes. He wore a short-sleeved shirt left untucked over navy blue suit pants complementing the tie around his neck, covered in white and blue diagonal stripes, and brown leather shoes.
"Man," the man with the rectangular face said.
"This is the place where Master Bob wanted us to look," the young man with the dark blonde hair said.
"That monster did a number on this place and all those bandits," the man with the tan said.
"That guy did say that it ate them, just like it did those cities," the young man with the messy blonde hair said. "What do you guys think?"
"Man," the man with the rectangular said, sniffing around; literally. "Sniff, sniff, sniff." He does a strange, yet hilarious stance. "What strange parfum. It's not like any parfum I have ever smelled in my whole life. Man!"
"Just what kind of monster are we dealing with, Hibiki?" The man with the tan asked.
"Not sure, Ren," Hibiki answered. He turned to the other blonde young man. "You see anything, Eve?"
"If you're counting footprints, then no," Eve answered.
"And there's telling where that thing is going to strike next," Ren said.
"Men! We return to the Blue Pegasus guild to report to Master Bob," their leader said.
"Yes, Sir Ichiya!" The Blue Pegasus wizards acknowledged.
Elsewhere, in another city in ruins, three wizards are investigating Guzzlord's rampage. One is a young man while two are girls.
The young man is slim and has an average height with a muscular and toned body. has bluish silver hair, most of which are spiky strands that jut upwards on top of his head, except for some which are kept pointing down and partially cover the upper left part of his face. His eyes are slanted, with dark round pupils and surrounded by similarly dark lines. He has small, linear, dark eyebrows. He wore a short, high-collared tunic, which is now dark in color and has light edges and cuffs, together with many decorative motifs on the lower part of the chest and sleeves; unlike before, the tunic's collar is now left slightly open. His shoulders are covered by a dark mantle with a high collar and light, jagged edges matching his tunic. In addition, he appears to wear dark pants with light parts circling his thighs and gray boots.
Another is a young woman long pink hair and blue eyes. She has large breasts, and a curvaceous body. She wore a black vest top and matching skirt. The vest sports a collar and tie reaching only to her mid-chest, and aside from a light cloth band clasped above her navel, her belly and the under-inside portion of her breasts are exposed. She also wears a dark hairband with points resembling cat ears.
And the third is a girl that has the same color as the hair and eyes as the young woman, but her hair is tied in pigtails in orange ribbons. She wore a pale blue mini skirt, a pink, sleeveless top with a dark blue center and a folded collar with yet another orange ribbon tied around it and a heart emblem on her left breast and an "X" on her right. She wears short white gloves coupled with orange wristbands, on top of a longer pink fabric that reaches her upper arms and is kept in place by armbands that match the ones on her wrists. For hosiery, she has long black stockings and white leg-warmers atop black shoes.
"This is so horrible. This monster is doing more damage than Deliora could ever do," the woman said.
"You're right, Sherry. Whatever this creature is, it cannot be allowed to continue," the man said. The girl searched around for any survivors and for clues about the monster. She hears something, or rather someone. It was a boy about younger than she was.
"Is it gone?" The boy asked.
"Are you talking about the monster?" The girl asked. The boy nodded. "Don't worry. It's gone, whatever it was," the girl assured him. It turns out he wasn't the only survivor; there also another girl and a baby boy with a cut on his left side on his forehead. She shouted out to the older wizards. "Lyon! Sherry! I found some survivors!" They went over to the kids.
"Shelia, that was excellent work," Lyon praised her.
"That's my cousin!" Sherry added. "What happened?"
"That big scary monster came and ate everyone and everything; it even ate our mommy and daddy," the boy cried. Tears filled his eyes.
"Oh, don't cry. We'll do what we can," Shelia said. She took the kids with her.
"This is getting out of hand," Lyon said. "That creature seems to be unremorseful."
"Only a monster like that doesn't know the meaning of compassion and of love," Sherry said.
Back to the Fairy Tail guild, Sora and Kairi had followed Natsu, Lucy, and Happy back to the guild. Upon arriving they saw that the ponies and the Ninja Turtles were there and April was sitting at the table with Wendy and Carla. Sora and Kairi sat down with the turtles.
"What's going on this morning?" Sora asked.
"Mirajane along with her brother and sister got here and told us that Makarov had left to meet with the other guild masters for an emergency conference," Raph explained.
"About the you-know-what?" Sora asked.
"That's the one," Leo said.
"With that monster out on the loose, it's a miracle that we got any sleep last night," Starlight said.
"Same here. I'm surprised it hasn't made its way over here yet," Leo said.
"Don't jinx it, Leo," Raph said.
"I'm just saying, Raph. We'll never know when something like that is going to happen," Leo said.
"Leo's right. We had our share of problems back in Equestria, apart from Discord, Chrysalis, King Sombra, Lord Tirek, and Nightmare Moon. This monster could come this way give or take," Twilight said.
"Why do I have a feeling that we might end up facing it whether we want to or not?" Sora asked.
"I think it'll be awesome to see it, dudes. Don'cha think?" Mikey asked.
"I will certainly say not, Michelangelo. I mean why would you want to see it?" Rarity asked.
"Just thought it'll be cool," Mikey said in defense.
"Yeah! It'll be cool when we kick it out of this world and right through one of those Ultra hole things!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Ah think we should be more concerned about how how we're gonna get home. Ah'm just a tad worried about little Apple Bloom. And about about Granny Smith, and Big Mac," Applejack said.
"I agree with Applejack. I feel the same way about Sweetie Belle," Rarity said. "I am certain you're worried about Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash?"
"Okay, I see your point, but the little squirt can take care of herself, right?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Maybe, but Applejack and Rarity are right. Everypony we know will worry about us when they learn that we're gone," Twilight said.
"I can't stop thinking about Angel," Fluttershy said worriedly.
"And what about my sisters?" Pinkie asked.
"And not to mention Trixie," Starlight added.
Shining Armor and Cadance didn't say anything, but Twilight knew they were thinking about their daughter.
"We do see your point. And you're right to worry. We all have someone back in our own home dimensions," Sora said. "In the meantime, we might as well just make the most of this."
"You're right, Sora. We can make the best of this," Kairi said. Sora smiled and took his girlfriend's hand and held it. The couple smiled warmly to each other.
"Get a room, you two," Raph said, rolling his eyes. Rainbow Dash laughed.
"I was thinking the same thing, Raph," Rainbow Dash said. She laughed some more.
"Very funny" Sora deadpanned.
Stepping up to the couple is a petite teenage girl of a slender build, wearing a light-orange summer dress with a large white ribbon, white trimming on the top and bottom, loose orange arm warmers, ankle-length, durable leather red sandals, and yellow headband with a small decorative, purplish-pink flower on the right side, and two matching ribbons flowing off on the sides. She has blue hair and hazel eyes.
"Excuse me," the girl said from behind. "Hi, I've seen you around and you didn't notice me. My name's Levy MacGarden. Sora isn't it? And you're Kairi?"
"Um, yes?" Sora responded.
"How do you know about us?" Kairi asked.
"Wendy told me when I was asking her. I already spoke to April about the turtles. But, I'm more curious about the ponies and the creatures I saw you with," Levy said.
"You mean our Pokémon?" Sora asked.
"That's right! I was pretty surprised when I saw those," Levy said. She looked right at Pikachu. "The same for that one. You don't mind if I pet it, do you?"
"It's okay with you, isn't it, Pikachu?" Sora asked.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu said nodding.
"Okay, uh, Levy, was it?" Sora asked. She nods. "Okay, just be careful, because he will shock you if you're not careful." Levy patted Pikachu on the head and he liked how that felt.
"So soft. Hard to believe this cute little guy gave Natsu such a shock," Levy said. "but, it's funny."
"I didn't think it was funny when he did it to me the first time," Sora said.
"Natsu never could think ahead; I'm sure you already know that," Levy said.
"Kinda like Mikey here," Donnie said. Both of Leonardo and Raphael all look at him.
"Dudes! I thought it was a good idea!" Mikey said in defense. "And you all went along with it!"
"And I should just said that it was a bad idea, oh, wait! I already did!" Leo said. "And then we unintentionally dragged April into this!"
"It's not that bad, Leo," Mikey said.
"I know Mikey's rarely right about anything, but he does have a point," Donnie said. Leo glares at Donnie. "I mean, it's a thrill and an experiece. Didn't Master Splinter tell us to treasure those experiences?"
Leo didn't know how to counter that, but he knew better to question his sensei's teachings. He had no choice but to accept his defeat of the argument.
"Fine. The minute we find a way out, we take it, got it?" Leo asked.
"Got it," the other turtles said.
"I would like to see them again if you don't mind," Levy pleaded. Her eyes sparkled with stars, wanting to see again them badly. Sora turned to Kairi and she nodded. The couple took out their Pokéballs as she set Togepi down on the table and the let out their other Pokémon.
"Here are our other Pokémon. Mine are Meganium, Typhlosion, Feraligatr, Larvitar, and Meltan," Sora said.
"Raichu, Magby, Abra, Tyrogue, and Machop are mine along with Togepi," Kairi added.
"So cool," Levy said. She took a look at the Pichu and they looked back at her. "And who do they belong to?"
"Actually, they're Pikachu's adopive little brothers," Sora answered. "They've been hanging around Pikachu ever since Illima, Kiawe, and Sophocles met them."
"Pikachu," Pikachu said.
"Pichu," the two Pichu chirped.
Levy took a pretty look at the Pokémon with interest and she examined them one by one. Two guys walking up and looking right the Pokémon the same way as Levy. One guy was slim and the other is incredibly fat.
"Those are the strangest things I have ever seen," the skinny man said.
"That and the talking multicolored ponies and man-sized turtles with them. And they ate all of the pizza," the fat man said, eating a bag of potato chips. Sora and Kairi took notice of the two guys.
"Who are you two?" Kairi asked.
"These guys are my friends; also my teammates," Levy said.
The skinny man introduced first, "The name's Jet and speed magic is my thing."
The fat man introduced second, "And I'm Droy and I know plant magic." The two men jumped in the air, surprising them both how someone so fat can jump so high.
"Together the three of us make Team Shadow Gear!" Jet and Droy announced doing a stance behind Levy.
"Team Shadow Gear?" Mikey asked.
"I think I remember Lucy mentioning guilds having different teams," Twilight said.
"You really need to pay attention when someone speaks, Mikey," Donnie said.
The couple had left their Pokémon just so Levy can examine each of them. Sora and Kairi decided to have breakfast for two as Mirajane walks up and showing up next to the couple is a girl that looked like her, but she had short hair.
"Hey there," the girl greeted.
The couple turned to see the girl sitting next to them.
"Hey," Sora responded.
"Hi," Kairi responded.
"I see you two have met my little sister," Mirajane said.
"My name's Lisanna. Nice to meet you," Lisanna introduced.
"Nice to meet you, Lisanna," Kairi said. The girls shook hands and she smiled right at her.
"I think I met your brother yesterday," Sora said. Just then, a large muscular man walked by and right up to the Ninja Turtles. "And speak of the devil."
The large man had the same white hair as Mirajane and Lisanna and he wore a purple open jacket and dark green pants. He had pretty long sideburns.
"Hey! Turtles!" The large man said to them.
"And that would be Elfman," Sora said. "His guy's got more muscles than a Machoke and a Machamp put together."
"You turtles think you're man enough to train with me?" Elfman asked.
"Is that a challenge, apeman?" Raph countered.
"The name's Elfman, not apeman!" The large man barked at them.
"I think Raph is right, he looks more like a gorilla than an elf," Mikey whispered to Donnie.
"What is his deal?" Shining Armor asked.
"That's Elfman. He's Mirajane's little brother," Jet explained.
"And he's always on us when we screw up on the job; saying we should man up," Droy added, taking a bite out of a potato chip.
"Maybe, he could be a motivational speaker for some of the guards back for the Crystal Empire's royal guard," Shining Armor said in his thoughts. Cadance looked right at her husband and rolled her eyes.
"So, what do you say, shellbacks? You think you take on a real man?!" Elfman questioned. Raph grinnined, cracking his knuckles.
"I think I can take you on, Keebler Elfman; one-on-one," Raph said. Elfman grinned right at the red-clad turtle.
"I like your attitude, turtle," Elfman said. "A real man for ya!"
"Glad I was able to impress you in something!" Raph said.
"Let's go!" Elfman stated.
"Enough!" Erza interrupted. She steps in and everyone in the guild all looked at her. "The monster had struck again! It attacked a gang of bandits yesterday."
"The monster is at it again?!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Not good," Fluttershy shuddered.
"Where did this bit of information come from?" Donnie asked.
"It came from the master himself. I recieved the news from him from his communication lacrima just a short time ago and now we must act before it's too late," Erza stated. Sora and Kairi didn't like how that sounded.
"What do you think, Kairi?" Sora asked his girlfriend.
"We should look into it with them. Just to make sure," Kairi said.
"Thought you would think it," Sora said.
"You would say the same thing," Kairi said.
"Are you sure you want to do that?" Mirajane asked.
"We've dealt with Ultra Beasts before and that monster shouldn't be any different," Sora said. Kair nodded in agreement.
"We should head with you," Starlight stepped up.
"We've dealt with evil creatures before and we can handle ourselves," Twilight added.
"And we dealt with alll sorts of aliens and mutants as well," Leo said.
"You do look like you know what you're doing. And you're pretty brave," Mirajane said.
With that said, the couple called back their Pokémon in their Pokéballs. April went up to the turtles and she nods and they nod back at her.
Erza objected to them coming along, but Sora was able to convince her to let them come and let them help since their Pokémon can handle pretty much anything; even Kairi's two newest ones. Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, Togepi, and the Pichu joins forces with the Fairy Tail wizards to deal with the monster along with the Ninja Turtels, April, and the ponies.
The Fairy Tail squad consisted of Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Happy, Carla, Juvia, Mirajane, Lisanna, Elfman, Levy, Gajeel, and Pantherlily. Gajeel a tall and muscular young man with light-tan skin and long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead, with stands of hair on the sides and hiding his ears. He has red eyes with slitted dark pupils, and has no visible eyebrows. Most of his exposed body is covered in sets of simple, round studs. The most visible studs are on his face, with three of them above each of his eyes (acting as "eyebrows" of sorts), three on each side of his nose, and two on his chin, just below his mouth. His ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. He wore a dark blue, calf-length trench coat with a black flame pattern around the hem and silver-grey trim, green, short-sleeved shirt that has light- and dark-colored patterns, dark yellow bandanna, fingerless, dark brown gloves, with numerous studs on the knuckles, dark brown wristbands, with numerous studs, studded black belt, loose, beige pants, and black, studded boots. Pantherlily is a black cat that appears like a black panther and he has a small sword on his back.
The group were heading off to face off against the Ultra Beast known as Guzzlord and what might unfold if they do see it? Just wait and see.
