20. Green Isn't Your Color

Sorry for the wait, everyone, but UltraKaiFan and I have something big planned for once we finish Season 1 of Adventures of Pokémon and Miraculous and for the next chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! "What is it?", you might ask? Well, you'll just have to wait and see! But for now, all aboard for a new Equestria adventure!

I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR MY LITTLE PONY!*

Narrator: Another beautiful day in Ponyville! And it seems Ash and Fluttershy are at the Ponyville Spa! I wonder what they're up to?

Ash: I wonder what's keeping Rarity?

Pikachu: Yeah! She never misses out on our weekly get-together!

Fluttershy: Oh, don't worry, Ash. I'm sure she'll be here soon.

Just as she said that, Rarity came in wearing a new hat that looked like something out of a peacock!

Rarity: So sorry, Ash and Fluttershy. I hate being late for our weekly get-together.

Ash: Nice hat, Rarity!

Pikachu: Pretty!

Rarity: Oh! Why thank you, Ash. Pikachu! [to the spa pony] The ususal!

The mare went to prep them! Soon, they were in a sauna!

[steam hisses]

Rarity: You three will not believe what happened to me.

Ash: What happened?

Fluttershy: Is everything all right?

Rarity: Oh, it's much more than all right. I was on my way here, wearing my latest hat creation, when who should stop me on the street but Photo Finish!?

Fluttershy: Photo Finish?

Ash: Who's Photo Finish?

[steam hisses]

Next, Ash and the girls were getting spa masks gooped on them! Rarity had her face covered, but Fluttershy had two little spots dabbed onto her while Ash's was straight lines making look like he had the kind of paint people put on when going into battle!

Rarity: She is the most famous fashion photographer in all of Equestria. [as Ash pretended to growl] Anywho, she saw my hat [as the two spa mares put two pieces of cucumber on her eyes] and said it was absolutely marvelous!

Fluttershy: What a lovely compliment.

Ash: I'll say!

Pikachu: Yeah! Good on ya, Rarity!

Next, they were going to get a mani-pedi! Ash didn't want one though and Fluttershy didn't have a horn!

Rarity: She was so impressed that she wants to take some pictures of my shop featuring some of my clothes!

Fluttershy: [squee] That's wonderful.

Ash: Wow! That's awesome, Rarity!

Pikachu: You're making it into the big leagues for sure!

Rarity: Oh, I know!

Next, they were getting massages!

Rarity: [vibrating] Do you know what this could mean for my fashion career?

Ash: [vibrating] You'll be one of the biggest fashion icons in Equestria?

Rarity: [vibrating] Correct you are, Ash darling!

Fluttershy: Oh, Rarity, I'm so happy for you.

Ash: [vibrating] We all are!

Next they were getting into a mud bath! And Rarity had got herself wrapped in seaweed!

Rarity: But I'm going to need somepony fabulous to model for me. Somepony with beauty. Somepony with grace. Somepony... like you, Fluttershy?

Next, Fluttershy and Rarity were standing in a hoof-exfoliater, soaking their hooves and Ash was getting his hooves buffed! And Pikachu was getting special oil made for Electric Mice rubbed into its fur!

Fluttershy: Oh, goodness. I don't know.

Rarity: Oh, this is such a huge opportunity. And it would mean so much to me.

Fluttershy: I'm flattered, really.

Rarity: Nopony is going to have your elegance and poise.

Fluttershy: But...

Rarity: Nopony!

Fluttershy: There has to be somepony more quali-

Rarity: Please!

Fluttershy: Somepony more into fashion.

Rarity: Please!

Fluttershy: Somepony more comfortable in the spotlight.

Rarity: Please, please, pleeease! [makes a begging face]

Ash: Maybe you should do it, Fluttershy! After all, what better way for Rarity's fashion to be well known all over Equestria than with a photo op!

Pikachu: Uh-huh! You should do it, Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: Well... [to Rarity] Oh, if it's that important to you, of course I'll do it.

Rarity: Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou! You are the best friend a pony could ever have!

Soon, they had finished and were leaving the spa!

Fluttershy: [sigh] What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Ash: I agree!

Pikachu: Yeah! I feel like a new Mouse Pokémon! Spa days are the best!

Rarity: Isn't it? Though I was so afraid you wouldn't agree to model for me that I felt completely frazzled. [as Fluttershy walks away] I think I feel a pimple coming on.

Pikachu: I don't see anything!

Ash: You look good to me, Rarity!

Rarity: [ignoring what he just said] Oh! Only one solution!

Turns out, she went back into the spa for round two!

Rarity: The usual!

[Intro: Dance Your Cares Away]

[as the opening song from "Fraggle Rock" plays, scenes opens to where the Pokémon are roaming in the yard at Ash's as he came out and smelled the fresh air, then takes flight as the music gets upbeat]

Dance your cares away,

Worry's for another day.

Let the music play,

Down at Ponyville.

[Worker Ponies]

Work your cares away,

Dancing's for another day.

[Mane 7]

Let the Ponies play,

We're Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Ash.

[Then, there's an instrumental moment as the scene shows every villain and Ash uses his Alicorn magic on all of them]

Dance your cares away,

Worry's for another day.

Let the music play,

Down at Ponyville.

Down at Ponyville.

Pikachu: Down at Ponyville.

Equestria!

[End intro]

---

On top of hill, we see three mysterious figures which turns out to be Ash, Rarity and Fluttershy as Ash and Rarity created a bright light with their magic as they read the title of the next chapter!

Ash: Chapter 20!

Rarity: Green...

Fluttershy: Isn't Your Color.

---

Narrator: A photo op at Rarity's shop? Now that's intriguing! I wonder how that will go down?

Fluttershy was wearing a fancy-looking outfit while Rarity was trotting around, going over the photographer's expectations. Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were there as well to assist Rarity with the photoshoot. Ash was also there! He wanted to meet Photo Finish and see the photo op!

Rarity: Hm... She's going to want to see attitude and pizzazz.

Fluttershy: A-a-attitude and, um... pizzazz.

Ash: Attitude and pizzazz?

Rarity: More light! It has to catch the sequins just so or the whole outfit is just a disaster.

Twilight used her magic to shine more light on Fluttershy!

Rarity: Oh, and the headdress needs more feathers. Pinkie Pie! More feathers!

Pinkie brought out more feathers! One of which landed on Pikachu's nose, tickling it!

Pikachu: [about to sneeze] Ah...ah...

Ash: No, Pikachu. Don't sneeze.

Pikachu: [covers its nose; sighs in relief]

But then...

Pikachu: [sneezes] ACHOO!

Twilight Sparkle: [startled] Oh! Bless you!

Pikachu: [sniffles] Thank you.

Twilight used her magic to levitate the feathers onto the headdress Fluttershy was wearing!

Rarity: And sequins! More sequins!

Spike came running by with a bowl of sequins! Then, Rarity used her magic to levitate the sequins onto Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: [whimper]

Ash: Um, Rarity... Don't you think you're putting a little too much pressure on Fluttershy?

Lycanroc: He has a point! I don't think she's liking this!

Rarity: Whatever do you mean, darling?

Ash: You know how nervous she gets in front of crowds! Are you sure about this?

Rarity: Positive, darling! Nopony has more poise than Fluttershy!

Pikachu: [tilts his head in confusion] What's poise?

Ash: I think it refers to elegance and gracefulness!

Pikachu: Ohhh! [to Rarity] But you have that too, Rarity!

Rarity: Oh, I know. But I couldn't possibly let myself wear the outfits. [rubs Pikachu's head] Just think about it, Pikachu darling! Moi could not possibly model AND manage this glorious event at the same time!

Leavanny: She does have a point!

Rarity began to levitate the pins onto Spike while shooing him away!

Rarity: Thank you all for helping me. I'm sorry to be so short with you, but I'm... I'm just so nervous.

Ash: Don't worry, Rarity! I'm sure Miss Finish will love your outfits!

Pikachu: Uh-huh!

Ash: Like I said, you're the best fashion designer in all of Equestria!

Rarity blushed and smiled when he said that!

Rarity: Why thank you, Ash.

Twilight Sparkle: [sees the pin's on Spike's back] Oh, doesn't that hurt?

Spike: Thick scales. Can't feel a thing.

This gave Pikachu a cheeky idea!

Pikachu: [in his head] If he says he can't feel a thing like those pins, let's see if he can feel a bit of jolt!

Ash: Buddy, what's up?

Pikachu: [does a Thunder Jolt on Spike] HAH!

Spike: [zapped] YIKE!

Pikachu: [laughs]

Spike: [lying] Uh, hardly felt that! [looks at Rarity dreamingly] And even if I could, there is no pain that would keep me from assisting the most beautiful creature in the world.

Ash and Twilight rolled their eyes from this!

Ash: Anyway, when do you suppose Miss Finish will arrive?

Rarity: Oh, I suppose very soon! We mustn't tally! [as she and Leavanny walk over to Fluttershy]

Spike: [to Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Ash] I'm gonna tell you three a secret. But you have to promise not to tell anyone.

Twilight Sparkle: I promise.

Ash: Me too!

For Pinkie Pie...

Pinkie Pie: [doing a gesture] Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.

Ash: I thought it was something about a needle in the eye?

Pinkie Pie: Nope! Needles are too ouchie! And in the eye would hurt so much! That's why a cupcake would be more fun! And tastier!

Ash: It sounded different in human tongue! I guess it's different here! More or less!

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. You have your customs and we pony-folk have ours!

Spike gestured them to come closer to which they did!

Spike: [whispers] I have a crush on Rarity!

Pinkie Pie: [gasps]

Twilight, Ash, Pikachu, and Lycanroc on the other hand weren't that impressed!

Lycanroc: Seriously?

Pinkie Pie: We won't say a word!

Ash: It's not a secret when it's clearly obvious, Spike.

Twilight Sparkle: Give me a break. Ash is right, you know. Everypony already knows how you-

But before she could finish...

Pinkie Pie: Twilight! You promised Spike you wouldn't say anything. He trusts you. And losing a friend's trust [as Spike gives them pleading eyes] is the fastest way to lose a friend forever!

Twilight Sparkle: But-

Pinkie Pie: Forever!

Twilight Sparkle: My lips are sealed.

Ash: Well, technically I didn't say the words [makes air quotes with his hoof] "I promise", but regardless, Pinkie does have a point. [smirks] But I think you might have some competition, Spike. Because I think Rarity likes me best.

Spike: You?! Puh-lease! It's obvious that I am more good-looking!

Ash: And you're just a baby dragon! She's probably older than you!

Spike: So?! Doesn't mean I can't try to express my feelings for her!

Ash: Oh yeah?! Who was the one that opened his little dragon mouth about Rarity's fashion show to Hoity Toity?!

Spike: How many times do I have to tell you?! I said I was sorry!

Ash: Well, I was the one that had to comfort her and cheer her up! Well, that one wasn't entirely your fault!

Twilight Sparkle: Ash has a point. Though I'm pretty sure Rarity is gonna pick up on your feelings.

Ash: [nods] Mhm!

Pikachu: Yep.

Turns out, Spike was wearing a T-shirt that had Rarity's face within a heart on it!

Lycanroc: [deadpans him] Where did you even get that?

Spike: That's my secret!

Ash: [raises an eyebrow] But are you sure you should even be wearing that with Rarity in the very same room as us?

Pikachu: Like that's definitely not suss!

Spike: [gasps] Oh no.

Pikachu: I'd take that off if I were you!

Spike did just that and hid the shirt!

Pikachu: [snickers]

[bell chimes]

Ash: Huh?

Pikachu: Hello?

Turns out it was Photo Finish! And with her was her entourage!

Photo Finish: I, [whips her tail] Photo Finish... have arrived.

Ash: So you're Photo Finish? It's nice to meet you, Miss Photo Finish, ma'am.

Pikachu: Hi!

Photo Finish: Ah! Ze Lost Prince! Such an honor to make your royal acquaintance!

Ash: The honor's all mine!

Rarity: [trots over to Photo Finish] Let me just say, what an honor!

Leavanny: Indeed! It's truly an honor to be in your presence!

Lycanroc: Sure is! So... when do we begin this photoshoot you had in store?

Photo Finish trotted past them as one of her members of her entourage brought over a briefcase!

Ash and Pikachu: Huh?

Photo Finish: We begin...

With one push of a button, the briefcase sprang open into a tripod camera!

Photo Finish: Now!

Ash: I think that's our cue!

Rarity: [rushes next to Fluttershy] Attitude and pizzazz!

Fluttershy was really nervous about this!

Then, Photo Finish began to take photos!

Ash: Boy, Photo Finish sure takes pride in her work.

Pikachu: Yeah, I know.

Lycanroc: I should say so.

Leavanny: [eyes sparkle; awed] Such talent and skill.

Twilight Sparkle: Shhh.

Photo Finish: Yes! Show Photo Finish something.

Ash: What does she mean by 'something'?

Pikachu: [shrugs]

Twilight Sparkle: Sh.

Fluttershy then struck an elegant pose!

Photo Finish: No!

Ash: But... Isn't that pose elegant for you?

Photo Finish: It is not what I am looking for!

Fluttershy cowered down nervously!

Photo Finish: Yeees. [takes another picture]

Ash: Are you interested in Fluttershy's nervousness, Miss Finish?

Pikachu: Is it what you're looking for?

Twilight Sparkle: Shhh!

Ash: [smiles nervously]

Rarity gestured Fluttershy to smile widely!

Fluttershy did so!

Photo Finish: No!

That made Fluttershy drop the smile!

Photo Finish: Yeees. [takes another picture]

Ash: This is getting confusing.

Lycanroc: Yeah, I'm not getting any of this.

Pikachu: Me neither.

Rarity was getting nervous and signaled Fluttershy to strike another elegant pose!

And Fluttershy did so!

Photo Finish: No!

Fluttershy once again lowered herself onto the stage.

Photo Finish: Yeees. [takes the picture]

Leavanny: [scratches his head] Now I'm getting confused.

Photo Finish: Enough!

Ash: Finished already?

Pikachu: It's over now?

Leavanny: I think so.

Then, Photo Finish pressed the timer button on her camera and rushed over to Ash's side!

Ash: Huh?

Photo Finish: One extra photo of me with ze Lost Prince of Friendship.

Ash: Oh, of course! [smiles]

Then, the camera flashed!

Ash: So... how does it look?

Leavanny: I'll check it out!

Photo Finish: No no! Leave it to me, my leafy comrade!

Leavanny: If you say so.

The photographer mare rushed over to her camera!

She saw the photo!

Photo Finish: Ah, wunderbar! Such panache and superiority!

Ash: In other words...?

Photo Finish: It's magnificent!

Ash: I'm glad!

Photo Finish: I shall treasure this photo for many years!

Ash smiled and had small blush tint on his face!

Twilight Sparkle: She hardly took any pictures.

Rarity was levitating the headdress off Fluttershy with a downtrodden look upon the fashionista unicorn's face, thinking she had failed to impress Photo Finish.

Fluttershy: I'm so sorry. I tried my best.

Rarity: Well, the headdress is too big for you and the cape had too much sparkle. I can't believe I ever thought I could impress her.

Ash: Don't say that, Rarity! I'm sure she loved what she saw! If anything, she's probably having a moment to think about this!

Rarity: I suppose. But a photo with you and her is another story.

Ash: Yeah, but…

Then, Photo Finish had reached a decision and spoke up!

Photo Finish: It seems that I, Photo Finish, have found the next fashion star here in Ponyville.

Rarity: Really?!

Ash: That was fast!

Pikachu: Very fast!

Photo Finish: Yes. Really. And I, Photo Finish, am going to help her to shine all over Eqvestria. Tomorrow, a photo shoot in ze park.

Ash: [excited] Awesome!

Pikachu: Yeah!

However, a moment of silence occurred upon them.

Ash: Um...

Photo Finish: I go!

Then, she and her entourage rushed out of the boutique!

Ash: Well, she seemed friendly.

Lycanroc: That's one way of putting it.

Rarity: Did you hear that? I am going to "shine all over Equestria".

Ash: Well...

Rarity: Well what, darling?

Ash: I think she was more interested in Fluttershy's timidness.

Rarity: Oh, nonsense, darling! She was absolutely astonishing in that outfit! I knew she'd be perfect for this photoshoot!

Ash: Well, you're not wrong!

Fluttershy: Oh, Rarity. I was so worried I'd ruined everything.

Rarity: Oh, never. I knew you'd be perfect. [excited giggling]

Spike gazed at Rarity with a lovestruck smile, but the said unicorn was too elated to notice that she was jumping up and down on Spike's tail.

Ash: [whispers to Spike] Doesn't that hurt you?

But Spike was too lovestruck to even notice!

Ash: [rolls his eyes amusingly]

Pikachu: [snickers]

Elsewhere in Equestria, a certain Evolution Pokémon was roaming about! But it appeared to be white!

Eevee: EEVEE?

The Evolution Pokémon began to wander around its new surroundings! That's when it came across a set of gates!

Eevee: VEE?

It went in to investigate! What Eevee didn't know was that it was in Canterlot! And when it got close to the palace doors...

Guard #1: Hey! What are you doing here?!

Eevee: [startled] VEE! [runs away; scared] EEVEE!

Guard #2: [places his hoof on his chin] You know, I can't help but wonder, that little fox reminded me of somepony.

Guard #1: You know. I was wondering that too. We must speak to the princess.

Eevee: [running] EEE EEE EEVEE!

Soon, Eevee was far away from Canterlot!

Eevee: [panting] EEVEE...

But Eevee got so scared, it ended up in an unknown area.

Eevee: VEE?

That's when it noticed a village a little ways ahead of it!

Eevee: [excited] EEVEE!

But as it was running along, it came across a lake, and there seemed to be mud present in the body of water.

Eevee: VEE? [disgusted] EEVEE!

That's when it saw a fisherpony in a rowboat!

Eevee: [gets an idea] VEE! [calling out] EEVEE VEE!

The fisherpony saw the Shiny Evolution Pokémon!

Fisherpony: Well, hello there, little fella! You looking to get across this lake?

Eevee: [nods eagerly] VEE!

Fisherpony: Well, hop in my boat! I'll get you across!

Eevee: [happy; grateful] EEVEE! [hops in] VEE!

Then, the Fisherpony rowed his boat through the water! They made it to the other side in no time flat!

Fisherpony: All ashore!

Eevee: [hops off] VEE! [thanking] EEVEE VEE!

Fisherpony: My pleasure! You take care now!

Eevee: [affirmative] EEVEE!

And off Eevee went. Once it arrived in Ponyville, the sun was setting!

Eevee: VEE.

Eevee knew it needed to settle down for the night, but it needed to find shelter first. But it didn't know where to turn in for the night!

Eevee: [worried; ears droop] EEE...

Then, it came across the library!

Eevee: EEVEE?

It opened the door and went in, but the lights were off!

Eevee: [saying "Hello?"] EEVEE?

But alas, the owner was already asleep!

Twilight Sparkle: [snoring softly]

So, Eevee decided to make itself comfortable in one of the bookcases! However, there was a little dust! Luckily, it knew how to dust with its tail from a Minccino it knew!

Eevee: [satisfied] VEE.

Then, it curled up into a ball and went to sleep! The next day, Ash had woken up and was doing good deeds around the town!

Ash: [whistles]

Pikachu: What do we do now, Ash?

Ash: I don't know, buddy! But I feel like having a nice, delicious, Sugarcube Corner pastry!

Pikachu: Yummy!

Ash: Good thing we're coming up to it now!

Then, they went in where they were greeted by the owner!

Mrs. Cake: Well, cinnamon sugar on toast! The royal sibling of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna and his little Pikachu!

Ash: Morning, Mrs. Cake!

Pikachu: Hiya!

Mrs. Cake: Well, how may I help his royal majesty today?

Ash: I'll take 3 dozen chocolate chip cookies, please!

Mrs. Cake: Coming right up!

Soon enough, they were ready!

Mrs. Cake: Here you go! Three dozen chocolate chip cookies for his royal highness!

Ash: Thanks, Mrs. Cake! How much do I owe you?

Mrs. Cake: Oh, you don't have to pay a cent, dear! For you, it's on the house!

Ash: Oh! [smiles] Thank you very much!

Mrs. Cake: Oh, my pleasure!

Then, Ash and Pikachu left the shop!

Ash: Boy, who would've thought that I would get these for free!

Pikachu: I know! I guess being royalty has its perks!

Ash: I guess so, buddy! Now, where should we go to have our snack?

Pikachu: Why don't we head to the park?

Ash: Good idea, buddy!

As they were making their way to the park, they ran into Rarity!

Ash: Oh! Hey, Rarity!

Pikachu: Hi, Rarity!

Rarity: Oh, hello, Ash darling! Pikachu!

Ash: [sees her with the rack of outfits] Hey, don't you have that huge photoshoot with Photo Finish at the park?

Rarity: Indeed! Oh! I'll need you to accompany me as my assistant!

Ash: Assistant?

Rarity: Why of course! Won't you do it for me, darling? [does an eye flutter]

Ash: [tints a blush; smiles] Yeah, sure! Plus, I just got done doing some good deeds! I'd be glad to help!

Pikachu: Me too!

Rarity: Wonderful! Follow me!

Ash: [walks alongside her; levitates a cookie out of the bag] Here! Want one?

Rarity: Oh. Why thank you.

Ash: [as Rarity took and ate the cookie] So, where to now?

Rarity: We're going to be fetching Fluttershy and then to the park!

Ash: Okay!

Rarity: Oh! And after we get her, don't forget to bring Leavanny and Lycanroc along as well! They must witness one of my most glorious moments in all of Equestria!

Ash: Oh sure!

As they were walking through the town, the Shiny Eevee had woken up and gotten out of Twilight's library without anyone noticing!

Eevee: VEE!

As it was wandering through Ponyville, the Evolution Pokémon saw Ash and Rarity walking by!

Eevee: EEVEE?

Being a curious little Pokémon, Eevee wondered what they were up to! Rarity, Fluttershy, Ash, Pikachu, Leavanny, and Lycanroc arrived at the park, as Fluttershy went behind some board dividers to change into the outfit for the photoshoot she'll be in!

Ash: I wonder what Miss Finish has in mind this time?

Pikachu: Me too!

Leavanny: I wonder if she'll like my little Sewaddle clothes I added for Fluttershy?

Rarity: [tossing outfits out from the changing boards] No, no, no, yes!

Ash: Everything okay in there, Rarity?

Rarity: Oh, most certainly, dearie!

Pikachu: Need any help?

Rarity: No need, my dear Pikachu!

Rarity used her magic to set the boards aside, and Fluttershy was dawning a white outfit with sparkly sky blue sequins.

Ash: Wow!

Pikachu: [eyes sparkle] Sparkly!

Rarity: That is definitely the one. Photo Finish is going to love it.

Leavanny: Actually, there's just one thing missing!

Ash: Huh?

Leavanny: [puts the Sewaddle clothing on Fluttershy] There! Now it's perfect!

Rarity: Ooh, nicely done, Leavanny!

Leavanny: What can I say? I'm a genius!

Ash: [nods] Yep!

Rarity: But of course!

Fluttershy: Oh, I am so excited for you. Just don't forget us little ponies when you become the most famous designer in all of Equestria.

Rarity: Never.

Leavanny: Perish the thought!

Ash: You've got this, Rarity! We're with you every step of the way!

Pikachu: Yeah!

Lycanroc: Got that right!

Rarity smiled and she gave Ash a hug!

Rarity: Thank you, my dear!

Little did they know, the Shiny Eevee had followed them and was hiding in a bush!

Eevee: VEE...

Eevee was focused on Rarity and the rack of outfits she had with her!

Eevee: [awed] EEVEE...

Then, it began to vision itself with Rarity as its trainer! Wearing all kinds of different outfits and being Rarity's little fashion model!

Eevee: [posing; happy] EEVEE!

Rarity (Vision): [giggles] You look adorably fabulous, my dear Eevee!

Eevee (Vision): [happy] EEVEE!

Then, the vision ended! And Eevee couldn't help but feel giddy at the idea!

Eevee: [excited] EEVEE, EEVEE, EEVEE!

Pikachu sensed Eevee's voice forcing the Shiny Evolution Pokémon to hide!

Pikachu: [looks over] Huh?

Fluttershy: Did you hear something, Pikachu?

Pikachu: Yeah! I thought I heard something over there in the bushes!

Ash: Eh, it's probably just a rabbit!

Fluttershy: [coos] Ooh, how cute.

Rarity: Fluttershy, please! We must have absolute focus! And cannot afford to have any distractions!

Fluttershy: [nervous] O-Oh, sorry, Rarity.

Ash: Relax, Rarity! Miss Finish will love your outfits!

Pikachu: Yeah! They're super pretty and sparkly!

Rarity: As they should be, Pikachu dear!

Before Pikachu could say anything else, they heard the voice of the photographer pony.

Photo Finish: Put me down here.

Ash: Uh oh. There she is now.

Two male ponies were carrying her on a platform and lowered her down, as the photographer's entourage rushed to her sides.

Ash: Hello again, Miss Finish!

Pikachu: Hi!

Leavanny: Ah, how nice to see you again, Miss Finish!

Lycanroc: Hey!

Photo Finish: Greetings and salutations to you, your majesty!

Her entourage kneeled!

Ash: Please rise! You don't have to bow for me! I don't like to think I'm above other ponies!

Photo Finish: Very well.

Her entourage rose!

Ash: I'm sure you're excited to do this next photo op, Miss Finish!

Pikachu: Me too!

Photo Finish: Indeed I am!

However, Photo Finish didn't seem to like the outfit Fluttershy was wearing!

Photo Finish: Oh, nonononononono!

Ash: What's wrong?

Photo Finish: [walking around] The model should be in something simple! Something inspired by... the nature! [points at the Sewaddle clothing on Fluttershy] This leaf clothing! It simply screams the nature and full of energy!

Leavanny: [excited] You actually like it?!

Photo Finish: Yes! It's wunderbar and ever so green!

Leavanny: Why thank you! It's only the finest leaf clothing made for my pre-evolved forms, Sewaddle and Swadloon!

Photo Finish: Astounding!

Leavanny: If you want, I can make a few more for you and your entourage! That is, if it's okay with you, Miss Photo Finish?

Photo Finish: Yeees!

Leavanny: Very well! I'll start immediately!

And Leavanny got to work using its silk!

Rarity: That's just what I was thinking.

Pikachu: But you weren't thinking that at all!

Rarity: Oh, shush.

Rarity rushed over to her outfits on the rack and became nervous that there was nothing nature related on them, shoving them away instantly!

Ash: Rarity! You worked really hard on those!

Pikachu: Yeah! What gives?

Rarity: Never mind that right now, my darlings! [to Photo Finish] Um... give me a moment and I'll, uh, put a little something together.

Photo Finish: Yes... that will not be necessary.

Ash: Huh?

Lycanroc: What are you saying?

Rarity: But... but... how are you going to help me "shine across Equestria" [as Photo Finish walks past her] if I don't design something new for these pictures?

Photo Finish: I am not going to help you shine across Equestria.

Ash: Say what now?

Leavanny: [stops sewing; gasps in shock] WHAT?!

Pikachu: Rarity's not your star? Then who are you gonna help shine all over Equestria?

Photo Finish: [looks at Fluttershy] I am going to help HER shine.

Ash: Huh?!

Pikachu: Fluttershy?!

Lycanroc: You're kidding?!

Photo Finish: [as Photo Finish's entourage rushed over and started moving Fluttershy along] She is my star.

Ash: Bu-But what about Rarity?! [a little angry] She's the one that works her butt off making the outfits to impress ponies like you!

Photo Finish: [to Rarity] You! Go!

Rarity: [gasps]

Ash: [gasps]

Rarity was sad by this and Ash was starting to get angry, but he knew he needed to control his temper and there wasn't nothing he could do to change the photographer's mind!

Ash: Why that dirty... [grumbles]

Rarity attempted to soothe Ash's frustration by caressing his chin with her hoof.

Rarity: It's alright, dearie. Nothing to fret over.

Ash: But, Rarity! You were super stoked about this!

Rarity: I know. But if she wants Fluttershy, that's her choice.

Ash: [sadly sighs]

Pikachu: Poor Fluttershy.

Leavanny: Poor Fluttershy?! What about poor Rarity?!

Pikachu: It goes for her too! Honest!

Lycanroc: [sighs] Oh boy. This should be fun.

Ash: Something tells me it won't be fun for Fluttershy or Rarity.

Pikachu: Me too.

The Shiny Eevee saw everything and felt sorry for Rarity!

Eevee: [sad] VEE...

It wanted to help, but it didn't know what to do!

Eevee: [thinking] EEVEE...

But Eevee didn't know what to do to help Rarity! However, the Evolution Pokémon seemed very fascinated with Rarity's fashion and wanted her to be its Trainer.

Eevee: [fascinated] VEE... [starts to move out from the bush] EEVEE...

Ash: Rarity! [Eevee hides again] Why don't we go get something to eat? That might cheer you up some?

Rarity: Yes, I suppose. Right after we help Fluttershy with this photoshoot!

Ash: To be honest, after how she made you feel upset, I don't wanna be near Photo Finish.

Pikachu: Yeah! Me neither!

Rarity: That's fine, dear. But I'll still need your help.

Ash: You do? How would I be of any help?

Rarity: You'll find out! Come along!

Ash and his Pokémon followed the ivory coated mare, while the Shiny Eevee continued to watch from a bush.

Eevee: VEE...

Soon enough, the photoshoot was being set up and Fluttershy was now sporting a green dress with a light blue flower on each side, and wearing a flower crown. As for the outfit Rarity originally had in mind for this occasion, she was now sadly putting it back on the rack.

Leavanny: Well, on the bright side, she liked the Sewaddle clothing I made.

Lycanroc: I highly doubt that's helping right now.

Ash: Yeah.

Fluttershy: I can't, Rarity.

Rarity: Oh, but you must, Fluttershy. Photo Finish wants to make you a star. This is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Ash: That was YOUR opportunity, Rarity! This isn't right!

Rarity: I know we were all hoping it would be my lifetime, but nonetheless you can't throw away this chance. You must do this for me. [gets up close to Fluttershy] You must. You must! You must!

Ash: Rarity, please! You're pressuring her!

Pikachu: He's right! She doesn't like it!

Rarity: Oh. Right. My apologies.

Fluttershy: And, um, Ash? I know you may be very upset with Photo Finish right now, but please don't be angry and show it. I don't like seeing you in such a bad mood.

Ash: Alright, Fluttershy! I promise to not show too much of it! [winks] No worries!

That made Fluttershy smile a bit!

Fluttershy: Thank you, Ash. Such a sweet boy.

Ash: [smiles]

Photo Finish: Floottershy! It is time to make... the magics!

Leavanny: That's Fluttershy to you!

Rarity just gave her a forced reassuring smile to go on while Ash shrugged!

Photo Finish: [walks alongside her] Oh, wunderbar! You are like a delicate flower. So much more alluring without all those sparkles und feathers.

Rarity only gave out sad sigh and she began to leave, with Ash following.

Ash: Hey, if you ask me, [smiles] I like all those sparkles and feathers.

That made Rarity feel a little better! Then, she moved a little closer to Ash! He assumed she was doing it to get some comfort! So, he wrapped a comforting wing around Rarity! This made the alabaster unicorn smile in delight!

Ash: How's about that lunch I promised you? Just the two of us?

Pikachu: And what are we? Chopped liver?

Ash: Don't worry! You guys too!

Pikachu: [excited] Yay!

Lycanroc: Alright!

Rarity: But of course, Ash dear heart! [gives Ash a peck to the cheek]

Ash blushed in surprise to that!

Rarity: [giggles]

Photo Finish: Leavoony!

Leavanny: That's Leavanny to you!

Photo Finish: You stay! We may need your talents with the leaf clothing!

Leavanny: [nervous and excited] M-Me?!

Photo Finish: Ja! Approval from his royal majesty of course!

Ash: Fine.

Rarity nodded and beckoned Leavanny to take this opportunity!

Leavanny: Oh. But...

Photo Finish: Wunderbar! We go!

Leavanny hesitantly followed as it looked back at Rarity with apologetic eyes!

Ash: Don't worry. We'll see them later. In the meantime, let's get a bite. I'm buying.

Rarity: Ooh. How gentlemanly of you.

As Ash, Pikachu, Lycanroc, and Rarity departed, Eevee didn't want them to leave!

Eevee: [disappointed] VEE...

But then, the Shiny Eevee decided it would follow them in secret and try to gain Rarity's attention! And it did so while hiding in a bush! Ash and Rarity had arrived at one of Ponyville's cafés and were sitting at a table, chatting amongst each other.

Ash: It really is a shame Miss Finish didn't want you, Rarity!

Pikachu: [pouts] No fair!

Lycanroc: Yeah! She's got some nerve not taking the thought of the fact that you worked your butt off to make those outfits!

Pikachu: Not to mention the fact that she took Leavanny!

Ash: It just doesn't seem right!

Although Rarity was disheartened about the matter at hand, she placed her hoof on top of Ash's and smiled a bit.

Rarity: I know you're upset, my dear!

Ash: Don't I know it! I was hoping she'd help you shine all over Equestria!

Pikachu: But clearly we were wrong!

Lycanroc: [growls; lays down] That lousy photographer doesn't know talent.

Ash: I know! Especially when you work your butt off to make all those clothes, Rarity!

Pikachu: Yeah! They were amazing!

Rarity: I know!

Ash: [sighs] Just wish I could do something to make you feel better.

Pikachu: Me too!

Lycanroc: Same here!

Rarity: [about to cry] Well... [sniffles] I could use a hug right about now.

Ash didn't need to be told twice and hugged her!

Rarity: [cries into his shoulder]

Ash: [rubs her back in comfort] There there, Rarity. Let it out.

Pikachu nuzzled against Rarity!

Pikachu: Let it all out.

Lycanroc: [nuzzles against her] Don't worry, Rarity. We're here for ya.

Rarity: [starts to calm into Ash's embrace]

Ash: [smiles] There we go.

Rarity: You really are sweet, Ash.

Ash: I try, Rarity. I just don't like seeing my friends sad.

Rarity: I know, dear. I know.

Ash: Here, why don't we order lunch now?

Rarity: [sniffles] Okay.

While they were doing that, Eevee had wandered into the town! It was looking to where Ash and Rarity had wandered off to!

Eevee: [searching for Ash and Rarity] EE? EEVEE?

Then, it saw Ash and Rarity having lunch!

Eevee: [excited] VEE!

But before it could get any closer it saw some ponies coming its way and it ducked into some nearby bushes!

Eevee: [hides] VEE!

Bon Bon: [to Lyra] So whaddya wanna do now?

Lyra: Why don't we go get a snack from Sugarcube Corner! Pinkie has the best cupcakes!

Bon Bon: Totally!

Lyra: You're buying, right?

Bon Bon: 'Course I am, bestie!

Lyra: Awesome!

Eevee: [hiding] EEVEE…

Eevee was relieved that it wasn't spotted!

Eevee: [relieved] VEE...

Eevee was about to jump out when he heard the sound of neighing as Celestia's royal guards flew down!

Eevee: EEVEE?

Eevee saw that it was the same guards it ran into yesterday!

Eevee: [gasps] EEVEE! [hides] VEE!

Ash and Rarity were enjoying a nice lunch!

Ash: Mmm. I don't know why, but I've really gotten hooked on these daffodil and daisy sandwiches! Sometimes I'm more of a garden salad kind of guy! But I also like spaghetti with marinara sauce and topped with shredded cheese!

Rarity: Oh, that sounds divine!

Ash: Yeah! And I sometimes wanna try and eat it with a girl and end up eating a long piece of spaghetti and end up mouth to mouth like Lady and the Tramp!

Lycanroc: Ha! Classic!

Rarity: [blushes] Oh my.

Ash: [blushes in embarrassment] Sorry. I went a little overboard with that description. [chuckles nervously]

Rarity: Oh, it's perfectly fine, dearie! Nothing to get bashful over!

Ash: If you say so, Rarity!

Pikachu: Real smooth, buddy. Real smooth.

Ash: Oh, shush.

Pikachu: [giggles]

Then, they were approached by the royal guards!

Royal Guard #1: [bows] Your majesty!

Ash: Oh! Hello! What brings you two down here? [assumes] Wait! [panics] It's my sisters, isn't it?! Are they trouble?! Oh no! Lycanroc, sound the emergency howl!

Royal Guard #2: No need to panic, sire! Trust and believe, your sisters are more than okay!

Ash: [sighs in relief] That's a relief! So... What brings you two down from Canterlot castle?

Pikachu: Is Ash needed for royal prince duties?

Royal Guard #1: Not today, no. We came by granted permission of his royal elder sister that we would like to discuss a matter of a familiar animal that is here in Equestria!

Rarity: A familiar animal?

Ash: Describe it to me, please.

Royal Guard #2: It seemed to resemble a baby fox, and it had a rather fluffy and catlike muzzle. Its overall color appeared to be a shade of white.

Royal Guard #1: I also noticed a heart-shaped pattern at the tip of its tail.

Ash: Wait a minute. I know what it is! It's an Eevee of a different color! A Shiny Eevee! Where is it?

Royal Guard #1: That I'm afraid we're unsure of! We accidently scared it and the little one ran off!

Ash: Search far and wide and make sure you bring it to me when you find it!

Royal Guard #1: [bows] Of course, sire!

They went to do so!

Ash: Wow! A Shiny Eevee here in Equestria!

Pikachu: Who woulda thunk it!

Lycanroc: Didn't see that coming!

Rarity: That sounds intriguing! Oh, and it sounds so adorable!

Ash: Eevee are adorable! Imagine if you caught it, Rarity!

Rarity: I know! I would let it wear the cutest clothes!

Then, she started to envision herself with Eevee as her partner!

Rarity (Vision): [giggles]

Eevee (Vision): [wearing a dress and tiara; happy] EEVEE!

Rarity (Vision): You look marvelous, Eevee dear! My darling little princess!

Eevee (Vision): [happy] EEV!

Then, the fashionista unicorn's vision ended with a giddy smile upon her face!

Rarity: [giggles]

Ash: Lemme guess! You were thinking of playing dress up with it?

Rarity: Yes! How'd you guess?

Ash: Because I know you, Rarity!

Rarity: [giggles]

But then, the fashionista unicorn's expression shifted to one of sadness.

Rarity: Oh, just imagine. Moi in that glorious photoshoot, with that adorable little one by my side.

Ash: I know. If anything, it's Photo Finish's loss! [smiles] She's giving up a huge opportunity of having the greatest fashionista in all of Equestria modeling for her!

Rarity: Well, it was more of my designs, but I agree with you!

Eevee: [awed] VEE...

Ash: Well anyway, why don't we finish up here and then we can go to the spa for some RR?

Rarity: [sighs; smiles] That sounds lovely. It may cheer me up somewhat.

Ash: Awesome! [calls off-screen] Check please?

After paying the bill, Ash and Rarity left, while Eevee was still watching!

Eevee: VEE... [jumps out and follows them] EEVEE!

---

[Trainer's Choice time]

[as the screen shows Leavanny, Orbeetle and Lurantis as three choices]

Ash (voiceover): Trainers, which one of these Pokémon does [as the screen shows Swadloon] Swadloon evolve into?

...

Ash (voiceover): Okay, trainers! [as the images of Orbeetle and Lurantis disappeared] If you chose Leavanny, you were right!

Leavanny: LEAVANNY!

[End]

---

After their spa session, they were back at Rarity's boutique, and she was sadly sewing a black outfit, while Ash watched on.

Ash: Who's that outfit for, Rarity?

Pikachu: Is it for a goth pony?

Ash: Or is it for you because of the way you're feeling right now?

Rarity: [sad] Right on the money, darling.

Ash: Come on, Rarity. You can't stay sad forever! You don't wanna make yourself a shut-in and think about wanting to move into exile again, do you?

Rarity: Oh, don't worry, my dear. I won't be like this for a long time. Just a little while is all.

Ash: I'm just showing my concern for you, Rarity! I honestly don't like it when my friends are sad!

Pikachu: Me neither!

Rarity: I understand, darling!

That's when Twilight, Pinkie, and Spike came into her room!

Pinkie Pie: [bouncing up and down excitedly] How'd it go? How'd it go?!

Ash: [sighs] It didn't, Pinkie.

Rarity: [puts the cloak on herself] Photo Finish wanted to work with Fluttershy, not me.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, Rarity. I'm so sorry. Is there anything we can do?

Rarity: I just vant to be alone right now.

Ash, Twilight, Pinkie and the Pokémon started to approached the downtrodden unicorn, only to be stopped by a certain baby dragon.

Spike: You heard her. [shoos them out of the room] She vants to be... alone.

Taking this chance, Spike started to skip over to Rarity with an infatuated look upon his face, only for Lycanroc to yank him out of the room by his tail, using his teeth.

Lycanroc: What part of "alone" did YOU not get, scale bait?!

Spike: What? I didn't think she meant alone alone.

Ash: [sighs and shakes his head]

Pikachu: Oh, brother.

Rarity was soon having some alone time within her room, but unbeknownst to her, she was being watched by the Shiny Eevee, who was up in a tree!

Eevee: VEE...

Rarity: [sighs depressingly]

Eevee couldn't help but feel sorry for Rarity as the fashionista unicorn went to her bed!

Eevee: [sad] EEVEE...

Rarity laid down in her bed but then got a good whiff! Since Ash was laying on it earlier, her pillow started to smell like him!

Rarity: Hm? [inhales] My goodness, Ash has such a lovely scent. And now my pillow smells just like him.

Then, because of the scent being so soothing and relaxing, she ended up falling asleep!

Rarity: [snores softly; smiles]

As she slept she started dreaming about Ash and ended up making out with her pillow! And she didn't even realize it!

Rarity: [lightly moans in her sleep]

Eevee: [tilts its head in confusion] EEVEE?

Eevee crept in quietly so as to not wake up Rarity and it went under her bed!

Eevee: [yawns] VEE...

Then, it fell asleep too! Meanwhile, with Fluttershy and Leavanny, a fashion show was being held, and Fluttershy was the star! She was donning a gorgeous green, teal, and white outfit! Photo Finish was having her entourage apply the finishing touches to her!

Entourage Pony: [sprays hairspray onto her]

Leavanny: Hey! Mind my leaves!

When another member of the entourage applied blush onto her, Photo Finish gave a look of disapproval.

Photo Finish: Too much blush.

Leavanny: How can she tell?

Photo Finish: Detail!

The entourage pony wiped it off Fluttershy, making the animal lover's eyes spin.

Leavanny: Sheesh.

Photo Finish: Not enough.

Then, the entourage pony applied more blush to Fluttershy!

Photo Finish: Too much.

Then, the entourage pony wiped it off Fluttershy again!

Photo Finish: Not enough.

Once again, the entourage pony applied blush onto her!

Photo Finish: Perfect.

Leavanny: Oh, brother.

Fluttershy: Ah... Aaah... [tiny sneeze]

Leavanny: Gesundheit!

Fluttershy: Thank you.

Photo Finish: Oh, yes! Even her schneezes are graceful.

Leavanny: [smiles] I must say, Fluttershy, you look absolutely ravishing!

Fluttershy: Uh... Thanks.

Photo Finish: Now go!

Then, her entourage rushed out in no time flat!

Leavanny: Gee, that was fast!

Photo Finish: [to Fluttershy] How do you feel? Excited? Overjoyed? Thrilled beyond your wildest dreams?

Fluttershy: N... nervous.

Leavanny: Yes, I'm afraid it's true.

Photo Finish: Nervous? Dun be ridiculous. You're only facing a large crowd of ponies who will be watching your every move and silently judging you.

That made Fluttershy even more nervous!

Leavanny: Miss Finish, you made Fluttershy even more nervous! How would you feel if you were in her shoes? Which look very lovely by the way. But that's not the point! I'm sure you would feel nervous if you had to do a fashion show!

Photo Finish: Me?! Be nervous?! Never! I hold mine head high and strut with confidence, my friend!

Leavanny: Well, has it ever occurred to you that due to Fluttershy's timid nature, she barely has the confidence to face a crowd of ponies?!

Fluttershy: Leavanny, please. I can't let Rarity down.

Leavanny: But Fluttershy-

Fluttershy gave Leavanny the begging eyes!

Leavanny: [groans; looks at the fourth wall] The things I do for mares.

[music]

Photo Finish: Your cue! Now go!

She shoved Fluttershy out onto the stage where a crowd of ponies was taking pictures and watching Fluttershy!

Background voice: No seriously...

[ponies chattering]

[cameras clicking]

Fluttershy: You can't let Rarity down. You must do this. You must. You must. You must.

Leavanny: [leaning against the wall] Even though Rarity's the one who works her butt off to make those fashionable outfits.

[ponies cheering]

Lyrica Lilac: So graceful.

Royal Ribbon: So lovely.

Hoity Toity: So perfect for my new advertisement.

Leavanny: Well, at least they like Fluttershy! [places his leaf sickle arm under his chin] Hmm... I can't help but wonder what this will lead to.

Over the next week, photos of Fluttershy were popping up on billboards, ads, and in magazines all over Equestria, and the yellow pegasus found herself doing more photo shoots, fashion shows, and standing with Photo Finish at conferences. Fluttershy had basically become famous!

One day, she was given access to enter an exclusive club with Photo Finish, as she exited a limousine chariot! And Leavanny was her escort! Rarity was wearing her peacock-styled hat and was planning to enter the club, but one of the bouncers closed the stanchion, meaning she wasn't allowed in, much to her anger.

Ash: [sees this; frowns] Ahem!

The bouncer saw Ash and saw that he was Celestia's younger brother, so he opened the stanchion and let Ash go in with Rarity!

Ash: [smiles; lets Rarity go first] After you, Rarity.

Rarity: Why thank you!

The alabaster unicorn patted him on the head in appreciation!

Ash: [giggles]

Eevee: [peeking from behind a corner] EEVEE?

It saw Ash and Rarity were heading in! But when Eevee tried to enter, the bouncer pony closed the stanchion, meaning Eevee wasn't allowed in!

Eevee: VEE?!

Eevee was disappointed! But then, it had an idea!

Eevee: [smiles cheekily] EEVEE!

Bouncer: Hm?

Eevee: [Attract move] EEVEE!

Eevee winked and sent hearts over to the bouncer pony and became infatuated by the Evolution Pokémon!

Bouncer: Aww! Aren't you the cutest thing! [opens the stanchion] Come right in!

Eevee: [happy] EEVEE! [happily skips in] EEVEE, VEE, VEE, VEE.

Even in Ponyville, it was clear that the timid pegasus was famous when the white unicorn saw her photos on the sides of apple crates over at Sweet Apple Acres, which Applejack happened to be selling at the time.

Ash: Sheesh. What next? Apples with Fluttershy's picture on them?

Lycanroc: [scoffs] Like that's even possible!

Pikachu: Either way, Fluttershy's popularity is through the roof! It just doesn't seem fair for Rarity!

Rarity couldn't agree more as she was green with envy, but that's when she spotted Rainbow Dash flying up high while pulling a banner of Fluttershy drinking carrot juice!

Rarity: [gasps; growls]

Ash: Easy, Rarity! Just relax!

Pikachu: We know you're jealous, but please don't get too angry!

Rarity tried her best to calm down, but she can't help but feel envious!

Eevee: [watching from behind a tree; worried] EEVEE...

The next day, Fluttershy was walking down the street of Ponyville, but a few mares reading fashion magazines of the said pegasus instantly recognized her!

Shoeshine: It's Fluttershy!

That made Fluttershy jump and do what any popular somebody would do to avoid fans! Run away!

[ponies shouting excitedly]

Everywhere she turned, she was met with adoring fans shouting with excitement and pony paparazzi snapping photos of her! And she couldn't take it! Then, from Ash's house...

Ash: Fluttershy! Over here!

Fluttershy flew in through the window quickly! Then, Ash closed the curtains and locked the door!

Ash: There! Nopony gets in!

Fluttershy: Thank you, Ash.

Ash: Hey, no worries! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that! I know you're definitely not a huge fan of crowds!

Fluttershy: No. I'm not.

Ash: Don't worry! I doubt they know you're here!

Fluttershy: I hope so. [gasps] Where's Leavanny?!

Ash: Don't worry! It's out back with the other Pokémon! I also brought your Druddigon here in case you wanted its comfort!

Fluttershy: Oh. Thank you, Ash. [hugs him] Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ash: No problem, Fluttershy! That's what friends are for!

Pikachu: [nods in agreement] Uh-huh!

Ash: But for now, you're gonna need a disguise to keep you from being seen!

Fluttershy: A disguise?

Ash: Yeah! You know. A way to give someone or oneself a different appearance in order to conceal their identity!

Fluttershy: Oh, I know. [nervous] Please don't make it too scary.

Ash: Who said anything about "scary"? It's gonna be alright! Trust me!

Pikachu: But what kind of disguise should we give Fluttershy?

Ash: [places his hoof on his chin] Hmm... Oh! I know! I've seen Team Rocket where these black uniforms that conceals every part of their body including the face, making them invisible! That might work for you!

Pikachu: That could work!

Ash: Now, if I can remember what the outfit looked like and do the right spell, I might be able to make it appear!

Then, Ash concentrated and used his magic to make the invisible costume appear!

Ash: Perfect! Here, Fluttershy! Try it on!

Fluttershy hesitantly took it!

Ash: Go on!

Fluttershy went to put it on! When she came out, she was in the costume!

Ash: Looking good!

Fluttershy: You sure this will work?

Ash: Have I ever steered you wrong?

Fluttershy: Um... no.

Ash: Then, trust me on this! No one will see you if you're invisible!

Soon enough, they went out, along with Leavanny, Lycanroc, and Talonflame! So far, nobody saw Fluttershy under her disguise!

Ash: So far, so good.

Pikachu: Nobody suspects a thing!

Talonflame: I must admit, even I don't recognize her!

Ash: I tell you, my plan is foolproof!

Lycanroc: I can see it!

Ash: Fluttershy is safe for paparazzi and fans!

Leavanny: [relieved] Thank goodness!

But then there was trouble! Fluttershy's disguise was caught by a long tree branch!

Fluttershy: Oh my.

Lycanroc: What's wrong, Flutters?

Fluttershy: My disguise is caught on a tree branch.

Leavanny: Oh dear.

Ash: Don't pull too hard, Fluttershy, or it'll rip!

Fluttershy: I'll try.

Pikachu: I'll help you! Pikachu [runs over] to the rescue!

Ash: Careful, Pikachu!

Pikachu: Don't worry! I will! Just need to get it unsnagged! [grabs hold of it] Now, let's see…

But then, it ripped!

Pikachu: Well, shoot.

Ash: Uh oh.

Talonflame: That can't be good!

Lycanroc: Let's hurry before-

But it was too late!

Shoeshine: [gasps] It's Fluttershy!

Ash: Too late! RUN!

They made a run for it! And the fans chased after them!

Ash: But it was foolproof! FOOLPROOF!

Lycanroc: Clearly not foolproof enough!

Pikachu: [running] Ya think?!

Talonflame: Look! There's Rarity's! We can hide in there!

Ash: Good eye, Talonflame!

Leavanny: Hurry!

Inside her boutique, Rarity was sewing an outfit while a saddened look rested upon her face.

Rarity: [sighs sadly]

What she didn't know that Eevee had managed to sneak into the boutique! Thankfully, it hid before getting seen! It was watching Rarity sadly sew the outfit!

Eevee: [feeling bad for Rarity] VEE...

[bell dings]

Ash had burst in out of breath!

Ash: [panting]

Rarity: Ash? What are you doing here?

Ash: [panting] Fluttershy... running... paparazzi!

Rarity: Fluttershy?

Fluttershy had burst in and shut the door, but the pony paparazzi continued to flash photos of her from outside the boutique through the windows.

Rarity: Wow. Look how popular you are. [eye twitches] I'm so excited for you. [sad] You must be having the best time ever. [forces a smile]

Fluttershy: [nervous] Oh, yes. Best time ever...

Ash: That's... not how I would put it.

Pikachu: Not at all!

Lycanroc: And Ash's disguise idea was a total flop!

Ash: [angry] Would you have had any better ideas, Lycanroc?! It was the tree branch's fault!

Lycanroc: You came up with the idea of using a disguise in the first place!

Ash: [sighs] Yeah, I know!

Leavanny: At least you tried!

Pikachu: Uh-huh!

Ash: I guess so! What did you think, Fluttershy?

Fluttershy: It was a good try. [lays her head on Ash's shoulder] But thank you so much for hiding me.

Ash: You're welcome, Fluttershy!

Photo Finish: [enters the boutique] Floottershy! I have been looking for you everywhere. We have the thing at the place.

Ash: Oh no you don't! She ain't going back out there! Not with an entire paparazzi on her tail!

Photo Finish: Nein, your royal majesty! I have acquired bodyguards!

Ash: Bodyguards?

Pikachu: What bodyguards?

Then...

Sawk and Throh: [enter the boutique; backflip; grunting]

Ash: Throh?! Sawk?! You're the bodyguards?!

Sawk: [bows] Hai, Sensei!

Ash: And you two didn't even ask me if it was okay?! [to Photo Finish] You didn't even ask me about it either! I'm the Prince around here! And those are my Pokémon!

Throh: Our sincerest apologies, Master! We heard that Fluttershy was being pursued by paparazzi. Our instincts told us we needed to step in!

Ash: Well, I suppose I can't argue with instincts.

Sawk: What are your commands, Sensei?

Ash: Make sure Fluttershy is safe and keep all paparazzi away from her!

Sawk and Throh: [bow] Hai, Sensei!

Ash: [to Photo Finish] I suppose I can let you use them as bodyguards! But make sure you treat them with respect and have them back soon!

Photo Finish: Of course! Floottershy! Leavoony! We go!

Leavanny: I'm not gonna respond to her if she keeps calling me that!

Rarity: [through her teeth] Leavanny, please!

Ash: Just go on, Leavanny! She needs your skills of making leaf clothing anyways!

Pikachu: [nods] Uh-huh!

Leavanny: Oh, you're right. Very well! Come along, Fluttershy!

Fluttershy: Yes, of course. [to Rarity and Ash] I'll see you at the spa? Our usual time?

Ash: Sure! Hopefully!

Rarity: Of course! I can't wait to hear all about the... "thing at the place".

And with that, Fluttershy departed with the Pokémon! Not before her getting yanked out by Photo Finish!

Fluttershy: [yelps]

Ash: Oh boy.

Rarity: [groans] I'm the one who should be mobbed by strangers wherever I go.

Ash: I know, Rarity! It just doesn't seem fair for you! Even though what you said just now seemed a little wrong.

Pikachu: Besides, some of those strangers might be giant perverts!

Rarity: [eyes widen; shudders in terror]

Ash: No worries! I'd arrive in a flash and kick their butts for you, then throw them in the dungeon!

Rarity: I know you would!

She then flipped her mane and fluttered her eyelashes!

Rarity: You're my brave knight!

Ash: [blushes; rubs the back of his head] Y-You think so?

Rarity: I know so, darling! [kisses his cheek]

Ash just blushed in surprise from this!

Pikachu: [snickers] Ash is a casanova and he doesn't even know it.

Lycanroc: [as Rarity nuzzled up against Ash; chuckles] I'd say so. I'd say he'll beat Spike in this love battle for sure.

Pikachu: Uh-huh.

Eevee was watching this from its hiding place and couldn't help but smile at this!

Eevee: [awed] VEE…

[bell rings]

That's when two earth ponies entered the boutique!

Rarity: Welcome to Carousel Boutique!

Ash: Something we can help you with, ladies?

Sweetie Drops: Is she still here? We heard Fluttershy was here.

Rarity: [bitterly] Sorry. You just missed her. [composes herself; walks over to a rack of outfits] But you're still in luck. I'm having a huge sale on some of my best designs.

Sweetie Drops: And you are...?

Rarity: [poses with sparkles around her] Rarity, of course.

Ash: The best fashion designer in all of Equestria!

Pikachu: And the prettiest!

Lycanroc: And the smartest!

But...

Sweetie Drops: Never heard of you.

They were shocked from this!

Rarity: [as her face turns red with anger; snarls]

Eevee: [concerned] VEE... [turns to the two mares; pouts] EEVEE. [getting ready to use Swift] EEE...

Ash: [sternly] Now, you two! That was very rude! If you only came here to see Fluttershy for her popularity and not even bother to even look at Rarity's designs, I suggest you leave!

Pikachu: [angry] Yeah! Get out and stay out! [cheeks sparking threateningly]

Sweetie Drops: [nervous] Understood, [bows her head] your majesty!

And with that, they took their leave!

Lycanroc: [grumbles] Ungrateful mares.

Pikachu: I know!

Ash: [to Rarity; smiles] Aw, don't mind them, Rarity. If anything, it's their loss!

That made the unicorn fashionista smile!

Rarity: Thank you, Ash!

Ash: No problem!

Just then, Rotom Dex flew in through the window!

Rotom Dex: Hello, Ash! Miss Rarity!

Ash: Oh! Hey, Rotom!

Rotom Dex: I was looking for you, Ash! [screen shows a clock] You're ten minutes late for the Pokémon's feeding time! Also, I heard through the grapevine that Photo Finish made Fluttershy a famous pony instead of Rarity! Is that true?

Ash: [sighs] Unfortunately!

Rarity: [annoyed] Quite so.

Rotom Dex: I'm very sorry to hear that for you, Rarity!

Ash: Hey! I know what might take your mind off of this! Why don't you come with me to my house and help me feed the Pokémon?

Rarity: Really? Moi?

Ash: Yeah!

Pikachu: Oh, would you, Rarity? Please?

Lycanroc: I'm sure you wouldn't get dirty from this!

Rarity: Well, alright! How hard can it be to feed Pokémon?

Soon...

Ash: Alright, Rarity! I labeled each of the containers with the Pokémon's face so you'll know which one goes to which Pokémon! But keep an eye on a few! Oshawott will try anything to steal Pignite's food and Glalie will try anything to get seconds! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Rarity: Very well, dearie!

Soon, Rarity had given the Pokémon their food! And she followed each of the labeled containers!

Rarity: [humming]

And the Pokémon were happily eating!

Oshawott: [chomping]

Oshawott managed to finish its food! Then, he saw Pignite was still eating his!

Oshawott: [snickers mischievously]

Oshawott was about to reach for Pignite's food, but...

Pignite: [stern] Don't even think about it!

Oshawott: [pouts] Change stinks!

Pignite: Get used to it! You ain't gonna make a monkey outta me anymore!

Then, the Sea Otter Pokémon got a cheeky idea!

Oshawott: Well then, I guess you wouldn't mind seeing Fluttershy on that billboard over there!

Pignite: Huh? [looks over] What billboard? [while Oshawott gobbles down Pignite's food in one setting and places it back without Pignite noticing] I don't see a billboard!

Oshawott: [gulps down the food] My bad! I'm seeing things!

Pignite: Well, whatever! [goes to take a food pellet, but there wasn't any left] Huh?

Oshawott: [burps]

Pignite: [grunts angrily] SO! [inhales] You tricked me [uses Flamethrower] again!

Oshawott: [burned] WAH!

Pignite: [angry] That's the fourth time you tricked me out of my food! THE FOURTH TIME! Why do you always aim at ME?!

Oshawott: [angry] It ain't my fault you're too gullible for your own good!

Then, they started to hit each other like little children!

Pignite: I'll fix you!

Oshawott: Says you!

Then, they started to fight in a dust cloud!

Ash: Hey! Stop that you, two!

Rarity: Darling, whatever's the-

Rarity saw that both Pignite and Oshawott were fighting!

Rarity: Goodness! Whatever's going on with them?

Ash: [groans] Oshawott ate Pignite's food. Again.

Rarity: Again? What do you mean "again"?

Ash: It's happened multiple times!

Pikachu: Once back when he was Tepig and twice after it evolved! So that makes four times Oshawott's done this!

Rarity: Oh dear.

Eevee: [happily munching on her food] Yummy in my tummy!

Pignite and Oshawott continued fighting until they ran into Eevee!

Eevee: AH!

Then, it was knocked out of the dust cloud and landed on her head!

Eevee: WAH! [crying] Owie!

Ash: Eevee!

Pikachu: Uh oh!

Ash: [goes over to her] Are you okay?

Eevee: [whimpering] I fell on my head!

Ash: Because of Pignite and Oshawott? I know!

Rarity: [sternly] Pignite! Oshawott! Stop this at once!

That made them stop immediately!

Rarity: Look what you did to poor Eevee!

Eevee: [whimpering]

Noticing what they did, they felt very ashamed!

Pignite and Oshawott: Sorry, Eevee.

Eevee: [sniffles] That's okay. Ouchie.

Ash: Don't worry, Eevee. It'll be okay.

Pikachu: Just a little bump.

Eevee: I hope so!

Then, Rarity hoisted Eevee up!

Rarity: You poor dear! [hugs her and nuzzles cheeks with her; coos] Oh, you are just so precious and adorable!

Eevee: [giggles]

The Shiny Eevee was watching this from behind a tree! It made it feel a little jealous!

Eevee (Shiny): [ears droop; pouts] EEVEE...

Eevee wanted to jump out, but it would put itself at risk of exposure!

Ash: Anyways, I'll get you some more food, Pignite!

Pignite: That would be appreciated!

Ash: [to Oshawott; sternly] And Oshawott, no more of that!

Oshawott: I'm sorry.

Ash: As punishment, no Sugarcube Corner sweets for a week!

Oshawott: [dramatically; crying anime tears] NOOOOOO! Anything but that!

Ash: I'm sorry, Oshawott, but it's high time you learn that there are consequences for your actions!

Pikachu: Mhm!

Eevee: [pouts] Like giving me a boo-boo!

Pignite: And stealing my food for the fourth time!

Oshawott: [groans in disappointment]

Ash: Anywho, thank you for helping me feed the Pokémon, Rarity!

Pikachu: Yeah, you were a big help!

Rarity: My pleasure, Ash, darling!

Ash: [smiles] Now, what do you say we head to the spa and get yourself your usual treatment?

Rarity: That would be lovely!

Ash: Awesome! Let's go once we're done here!

Rarity: Okay then!

Once they were finished feeding the Pokémon, they made their way to Ponyville's spa!

Ash: At least our minds will be at peace at the spa!

Pikachu: Uh-huh!

Lycanroc: You said it!

Rarity: Yes, indeed!

Ash: And there will be no talk of Photo Finish and Fluttershy's popularity!

Rarity: [sighs in relief a bit] Ah yes, hopefully.

However, the Shiny Eevee was doing her best to follow them in private! Even by following them in a bush!

Eevee: [hiding; moving slowly] EEVEE...

Ash: But you know, I can't help but feel a little worried about her! She's not used to crowds and being the center of attention!

Pikachu: Me too!

Lycanroc: I know!

Rarity: Quite so.

Ash: I wish there was something we could do to help her!

Rarity: [sighs] Me too.

At the photo gallery, which was filled with different shots of Fluttershy, Photo Finish was speaking with the press while Fluttershy was trying to get her attention. But she was too busy!

Photo Finish: Obviously I, Photo Finish, am thwilled to have found her.

Fluttershy: Photo Finish?

But she just ignored her!

Photo Finish: She's a natural in front of the camera.

Fluttershy: Um... Photo Finish?

Leavanny: We're talking to you!

Photo Finish: I only need to point and shoot, and I capture... the magics! And his highness's Leavoony is just as wunderbar with his artistic mind of leaf clothing! [points her hoof at Leavanny] Behold his stunning, green glory!

Leavanny: Hm? I'm sorry. Were you saying something? Because I don't respond to the name "Leavoony".

Photo Finish: Leavanny!

Leavanny: Thank you.

The crowd burst into chatter and took pictures of them!

Ponies: Over here! Fluttershy, over here! This way, Leavanny!

Fluttershy: Photo Finish, I'm so sorry to interrupt. It's just that I'm running late.

Leavanny: Yes! She's late for a spa date with Rarity and Ash!

Photo Finish: [gasp] How could I have forgotten?! [as Fluttershy and Leavanny smile] Your appearance at the ballet opening! Everypony who is anypony will be there.

Leavanny: What?! Did you not just hear what we said?!

Fluttershy: Yes, actually I'm supposed to be meeting my friends...

Photo Finish: We go!

Then, she began to push them along!

Leavanny: [sighs; puffs a cloud] She's obsessed with trying to make Fluttershy even more uncomfortable in the [follows] spotlight. Throh. Sawk. Can't you do something to help me make Photo Finish see sense?

Sawk and Throh didn't know what to do!

Sawk: We've never experienced this kind of thing before.

Throh: Apologies, old friend.

Leavanny: [deadpans them] Some help you [keeps walking] meat sacks are!

Sawk and Throh: [angrily grunt]

And they followed Fluttershy and Photo Finish too! At the spa, Ash and Rarity were relaxing in the hot tub, just as Twilight came over. However, Ash seemed to be relaxing while Rarity was stressed.

Ash: Wonder what's keeping Fluttershy?

Rarity: My hooves are getting positively pruney, I've been waiting here so long.

She lifted one of her hooves to reveal it all wrinkly!

Pikachu: Sheesh!

Ash: Yikes.

Rarity: Obviously Fluttershy's just too busy with her new career to spend time with her best friends.

Ash: Come on, Rarity, don't say that!

Twilight Sparkle: Ash is right. I'm sure she just got tied up.

Ash: [to Pikachu and Lycanroc] I definitely know that feeling!

Pikachu: [as he and Lycanroc nod] Yep!

Rarity: Of course she did. She's a big bright shining star! I wish that star would burn out.

Ash: I'm sure she was meaning to come! Photo Finish probably didn't understand what she meant by "running late" and took her elsewhere!

Pikachu: Not only that, but Leavanny's probably also having a hard time with Photo Finish and her German accent as well!

Ash: [sternly] And Rarity, another thing! You shouldn't say something like that about her! Don't let jealously get the best of you!

Twilight Spark: I agree! Fluttershy is your friend.

Rarity: I know, I know. And I should be happy for her, but instead I'm just... jealous! Oh, please promise you won't tell her I feel this way. Please, please, pleasepleaseplease!

Twilight Sparkle: You have my word. Losing a friend's trust is the fastest way to lose a friend.

Pinkie Pie: [as her head pokes out from a bowl of sponges] Forever!

Ash: [startled] GAH! Cheese and crackers, Pinkie! Don't scare us like that! How long were you in there for?! And why?!

Pinkie Pie: Eh, cartoon logic.

Then, she went back under!

Ash: That mare is just as crazy as that talking woodpecker from a 1940's cartoon!

Lycanroc: Clearly.

Ash: [to Rarity] Rarity, you should really tell Fluttershy how you feel about this!

Pikachu: He's right!

Rarity: I mustn't! I can't! And neither can you!

Ash: What?! But-

Rarity: You mustn't!

Ash: But-

Rarity: Jealousy is very unbecoming for a lady such as myself! [places her wrinkly hooves on Ash's shoulders] Darling, you have to promise you won't tell her I feel this way. Please, please, pleasepleaseplease!

Ash: Oh, alright! I know when I'm out-begged anyway.

Rarity: Oh, [hugs Ash] thank you, darling! Thank you!

Ash: It's cool. But if things start to get out of hand for her, either you or me will have to tell her how you really feel about all of this! Understand?

Rarity: Deal!

Once Rarity was done with her soak, she went behind the folding screens and changed into a red and white outfit, causing Twilight and Ash to gaze in amazement. A slight blush tinted upon Ash's face, but he quickly shook it away.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow! You look great!

Ash: I'll say!

Rarity: Fluttershy may be the one who's famous, [fixes her mane] but that doesn't mean I have to stop looking fabulous.

Pikachu: To Ash's face, that word is a bit of an understatement!

Ash: [blushes; shakes his hoof at Pikachu] Buddy, hush!

Pikachu: [snickers]

Rarity: Anywho, come along, Ash darling! Let's go spend some quality time together!

Ash: [smiles] Okay!

And with that, they left! Twilight was a little jealous from this, but she just smiled and relaxed in the hot tub! Just then, Fluttershy came in! So was Leavanny!

Fluttershy: Rarity! Ash! I'm so sorry I'm... Oh no. They're already gone, aren't they?

Twilight Sparkle: Sorry.

Fluttershy: Oh, I can't believe this. I am so frustrated, I could just scream. [inhales; squeaks]

Leavanny: You call that a scream?

Fluttershy only blushed in embarrassment!

Twilight Sparkle: Feel better?

Fluttershy: [sighs] No. [flies up to her] Can I tell you something?

Twilight Sparkle: Of course.

Fluttershy: You promise not to tell Rarity?

Twilight Sparkle: I swear.

Fluttershy: Pinkie Pie Swear?

Twilight Sparkle: Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my [pokes herself in the eye] Ooowwwww!

Leavanny: Oh dear, are you alright, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: I will be!

Fluttershy: I don't like being a model. No, I hate being a model. All this attention is awful, just awful. And I'm only doing it because Rarity told me I must. I must! I must! [sighs] I must...

Leavanny: But she just can't take it anymore!

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, really? Well... [makes sure the coast is clear; gestures them to come closer] If you wanna know the truth, Rarity...

Leavanny: Huh?

Twilight was stopped when Pinkie Pie suddenly popped out of the bowl of sponges again, startling both ponies and the Nurturing Pokémon, and she fixed the purple unicorn with a warning look before disappearing into the bowl once again.

Leavanny: Crazy mare! How does she do that?!

Fluttershy: I'm not sure. Oh, what were you about to say?

Leavanny: Was it something about Rarity?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes, she's-

Pinkie Pie: [pops back up; quietly] Forever!

Twilight Sparkle: Nothing!

Leavanny: Okay. I'll fix that mare! [goes to the basket of sponges and uses String Shot on it; wraps it around like a cocoon, but in the basket's shape] That'll hold you! [to Twilight] Now, what were you saying about Rarity, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh! Well, the thing is, Rarity is actually very-

Pinkie Pie: [pops back up, ripping the String Shot threads; quietly] Forever.

Leavanny: What?! But... How did-... That thread's... [groans in frustration] [sighs and falls backwards; swirls in eyes] I give up with that crazy mare.

Twilight Sparkle: [groans] Forget it. I know when there's gonna be a Pinkie Pie interrupting.

With Eevee, it had arrived at the spa, hoping to find Rarity!

Eevee: [happy] EEVEE!

But alas, Rarity was nowhere to be seen because she was no longer there!

Eevee: VEE?! [sad; ears droop] EEVEE...

But before Eevee could leave to find Rarity, Fluttershy saw it!

Eevee: [gasps] VEE!

Fluttershy: Well, hello there. Where did you come from, little one?

Eevee: [nervous; sweat drops] VEE... [saying "Looking for someone special!"] EEVEE VEE VEE! [runs out]

Fluttershy: W-Wait. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.

Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy, what's wrong?

Fluttershy: I saw a white Eevee and it just ran away.

Twilight Sparkle: A white Eevee?

Fluttershy: Sort of like Ash's Eevee! But in a different color!

Twilight Sparkle: [realizing; gasps] Oh my Celestia! That must've been the Shiny Eevee Ash told us about!

Fluttershy: What should we do?

Leavanny: We tell him immediately the next time we see him!

Twilight Sparkle: Agreed!

After leaving the spa, Leavanny, Twilight and Fluttershy, who was wearing a big hat and sunglasses to disguise herself, were walking through Ponyville and she had a suggestion for her friend.

Twilight Sparkle: I was just thinking. If you really don't like being a model, you could always quit.

Leavanny: The only problem is, she won't listen to reason!

Fluttershy: Oh, no. I could never do such a thing. Rarity would be devastated.

Leavanny: She'd be devastated?! You weren't able to make it to the spa for your weekly get-together with Ash and Rarity because of Photo Finish, yet you think that Rarity would be devastated?!

Fluttershy: [nervous; stutters] I-I... I don't know, Leavanny. I'm sorry.

Leavanny: [sighs] No, Fluttershy. I'm sorry. It's not your fault. I guess I'm just frustrated with everything going on.

Fluttershy: [nuzzles against him] Oh, don't blame yourself. You've done nothing wrong and were only doing your job.

Leavanny: I know. But even us Pokémon get stressed out sometimes.

Ash: [coming over to them with Pikachu, Lycanroc, and Talonflame] Hey, you guys!

Pikachu: [sees Fluttershy] Well, look who finally shows up back home.

Lycanroc: Way to leave Ash and Rarity hanging like that.

Ash: [sternly] Stop that, you two! It's not her fault and you know it! Apologize! Right now!

Pikachu: Sorry, Fluttershy.

Lycanroc: [sighs in guilt] Me too. That was uncalled for.

Fluttershy: I understand. Though I am partially to blame.

Ash: So, what's going on?

Twilight Sparkle: Just out for a walk! Oh! That's right! Fluttershy saw the Shiny Eevee at the spa!

Ash: Wait! You did?! Which way did it go?

Fluttershy: [sighs] I'm very sorry, Ash. When it saw us, it ran away.

Ash: Oh, bibbalycheese!

Pikachu: So close!

Lycanroc: Yet no dice!

Ash: Well, at least we know it's somewhere here in Ponyville!

Pikachu: We just don't know where in Ponyville it is!

Talonflame: [sees Fluttershy's disguise] Hiding from the paparazzi and fans again, I assume?

Fluttershy: [nods] Mhm.

Talonflame: I can tell!

Ash: Fluttershy, just quit and it can all be over!

Leavanny: She can't!

Pikachu: Why?

Leavanny: She doesn't want Rarity to feel devastated!

Ash: Devastated? She wouldn't be devastated!

Twilight Sparkle: Ash is right! Rarity told us...

But then, Pinkie Pie reappeared out of nowhere again!

This time in a bin of apples!

Twilight Sparkle and Ash: [gasp]

The party pony gave the two of them a warning look before biting into an apple.

Pinkie Pie: [chomp] Mmm... Juicy!

Leavanny: Why you little pest! [does a single blade Leaf Blade; rushes in] I'll fix ya!

However, Pinkie instantly ducked! And went back into the basket! Leavanny sliced up the basket with the apples, but Pinkie was nowhere to be seen!

Leavanny: Well, that's one less hiding spot for that crazy mare!

Talonflame: Was that really necessary, Leavanny?

Leavanny: That crazy mare has been popping up everywhere! And I wanna hear the juicy details! All while not being interrupted!

Twilight Sparkle: [groans]

Fluttershy: Oh, if only all these ponies didn't like me so much. Photo Finish wouldn't want me to model anymore. She'd find somepony else with... the magic!

Ash: I hear ya!

Twilight Sparkle: I guess you're right. [pause] You're right. You're right, you're right, you're right!

Ash: Huh? Twilight, what are you talking about?

Pikachu: Yeah! What are you talking about?

Twilight Sparkle: [grabs Ash by the shoulders] I know how we can stop this fame and misfortune!

Ash: If you're thinking we find Team Rocket and ask Jessie to help, I doubt she'll do it willingly!

Twilight Sparkle: Wait, what? NO! I would NEVER ask help from those buffoonish-

However, she accidently knocked Fluttershy's shades and hat off, revealing her true face!

Ash: Crud!

[ponies gasp]

Gala Appleby: It's Fluttershy!

[pony fans squealing]

Ash: Wait! Wait! [pony fans stop puzzled] This isn't Fluttershy! This is my... Sister! Yeah! My sister, Leaf!

Fluttershy: [whispers] Sister?

Ash: [through his teeth] Just play along. They're buying it.

Fluttershy: Oh... [nods]

Ash: Now, come along, sister dearest! Let's get you a nice, tasty snack!

Fluttershy: [tries to speak in a different voice] Of course, brother!

And off they went! And surprisingly, the other ponies were leaving them alone!

Ash: Wow! It worked!

Twilight Sparkle: I'm impressed! [chuckles] And sister dearest? I'm starting to think Rarity's sophisticated personality is rubbing off on you.

Ash: Twilight, I'm also a prince! It's also more of that showing!

Lycanroc: Yeah, it clearly shows!

Ash: [whispers] At least now you won't have to worry about a crowd, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy smiled and nuzzled against Ash!

Fluttershy: Thank you, Ash.

Ash: No problem! But for now, we'll have to keep up the charade to make sure they stay away!

Fluttershy: Okay. Anything to not draw attention.

Ash: And I'd best keep up the different voice, dear sister!

Fluttershy: [speaks in a different voice] Of course.

Pikachu: It's silly, but effective!

Talonflame: Very!

Twilight Sparkle: Anywho, about my idea...

With Eevee, it was searching for Rarity in Ponyville, but no luck had fallen upon the Evolution Pokémon, donning a white color scheme.

Eevee: [ears droop] VEE.

However, Team Rocket was spying on the rare Pokémon from a safe distance!

Meowth: Lookie there! A white Eevee!

Jessie: You don't see those everyday, now do you?

James: Those are certainly a rarity!

Meowth: Speaking of, and I know I'm going off topic, but do youse guys feel sorry for the fashion twoipette for what happened between her and the skiddish twoipette?

Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET?

James: Now that you mention it, I do remember her being the face of every magazine and advertisement here!

Jessie: Puh-lease! If anyone should be the star around here, it should be me! What does that photographer even see in the scaredy twerpette?!

James: She must have a thing for the timid kind of people in this crazy world!

Meowth: Clearly!

Jessie: I think it's time for that perky photographer to see who the real known star is!

James: I suppose so! But now that you think about it, since that Eevee is a different color, it must be a Shiny Pokémon!

Meowth: Do we go after it?

Jessie: We do!

Team Rocket: [snickers sinisterly]

At Sugarcube Corner, Twilight as explaining her plan to Ash and Pinkie Pie, while the said party pony was decorating cupcakes.

Twilight Sparkle: Don't you see? On her own, Fluttershy could never do something unattractive. But if I used my magic to help her do something unattractive at her next fashion show, no one will ever want her to model again. And if Fluttershy no longer has to be a model, Rarity will no longer have to be jealous of her. And I'll no longer have to keep their secrets! It's the perfect plan!

Pikachu: Are you suggesting an act of sabotage?

Twilight Sparkle: When you put it like that, then yes!

Ash: I don't know, Twilight! Sabotage isn't really my style! It seems wrong!

Pikachu: I'm with Ash on that, Twi! Sabotage is more of a villain's territory!

Ash: Totally! No way am I doing that!

Twilight Sparkle: Don't worry! You won't have to do it!

Ash: I won't?

Twilight Sparkle: It's my idea! Therefore, I'll do it!

Ash: Well, okay! If you're sure! Then what should I do?

Pikachu: Yeah!

Twilight Sparkle: Leave it [winks] to me!

Ash: Alright, if you're sure!

Twilight Sparkle: [smiles] Of course. [to Pinkie Pie] You can't tell anyone about it. Promise me you won't tell anyone?

Ash: Uh...

Pikachu: You do realize you're asking the craziest girl in Ponyville to do something as simple as keep a secret, right?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes! Yes I do! [to Pinkie Pie] Well?

Pinkie Pie: [zips her lips; miming]

Ash: I'm sorry, Pinks, but we only speak English!

The party pony pretended to dig a hole that she dropped something in and bury before shaping something with her forelegs.

Pikachu: Will you use your words?!

Twilight Sparkle: So you do promise or you don't?

Pinkie Pie: Uh, yes! Obviously, that's why I zipped my mouth closed, then locked it with a key, then dug a hole, then buried the key, then built a house on top of the hole where I buried the key, then moved into the house on top of the hole. [squee]

Ash: [blinks in confusion]

Twilight Sparkle: Obviously.

Pikachu: Pinkie, you need therapy!

Pinkie Pie: Nope! You do, Li'l Pika! Tickle therapy! [tickles him] Coochie coochie coochie coo coo!

Pikachu: No! [starts to laugh] No! Stop! [starts sparking] I'm tick- [laughs] I'm ticklish!

Ash: [shakes his head amusingly]

Lycanroc: What that mare doesn't understand is that Pikachu meant she needs therapy to control her craziness!

Ash: That's just how Pinkie is, Lycanroc! And I wouldn't have it any other way!

Lycanroc: Though there are times when enough is enough!

When it came time for the next fashion show, Ash, his Pokémon, and Twilight Sparkle joined Fluttershy backstage and shared her idea about helping the yellow pegasus with her magic.

Lycanroc: I hope she knows what she's doing!

Ash: You understand the plan, Flutters?

Fluttershy: [nods] Mhm. You really think it'll work?

Twilight Sparkle: They love you for being you. So all I have to do is make you not be you. Just leave it to me.

Lycanroc: Somehow, I think this plan will go south.

Leavanny: [flailing his sickle arms] Don't jinx it! PLEASE!

Lycanroc: I'm just saying.

Fluttershy: Oh, I know, Lycanroc, but please, anything to get out of this nightmare. [nuzzles against him affectionately] No offense to your adorable, furry face.

Lycanroc: None taken I suppose.

Ash: You've got nothing to worry about, Fluttershy! Plus, you look very beautiful in that outfit though!

That made the animal loving pegasus blush bright red in surprise!

Fluttershy: Oh. Um... Thank you, Ash.

[dramatic and funky music playing]

Ash: Huh? Fluttershy, was music like this played at any of the fashion shows you starred in?

Fluttershy: I have no idea.

Twilight Sparkle: It sounds rather weird, though!

Leavanny: What could it be?

They soon found out!

James: [wearing a suit and moustache; French accent] Madames and messieurs, may we present to you, the lovely, the stylish, the extravagant Jessally!

Then, in came a disguised Jessie!

Jessie (Jessally): Hello, you lovely mares and colts! Witness my fabulous attire and glory!

Lycanroc: She looks familiar.

Ash: Too familiar...

Jessie (Jessally): I have the looks! I have the style! And I have the poise!

However, Photo Finish wasn't pleased at all!

Jessie (Jessally): My love for the spotlight and the adoring crowd is more greater than any other pony's put together! So, if you're looking for a superstar, then take in me, the fabulous Jessally!

Photo Finish: Nein!

Jessie (Jessally): WHAT?!

James: [French accent] What do you mean "nein"?! Jessally is a four for one package deal!

Meowth: [wearing a disguise] Dat's right!

James: [French accent] She is more comfortable in ze spotlight and she is a proud actress!

Photo Finish: Bah! Floottershy has more elegance, grace, and confidence than amateurs such as yourselves! She has honor! Dignity! And respect towards the nobles of Canterlot! Never in my entire career have I seen such tacky fashion, atrocious poses, and disgraceful attitude! SECURITY! They go!

Then, Sawk and Throh began to escort them off the stage!

Jessie (Jessally): You would rather have a mare who's spineless, weak and afraid of her own shadow over me?!

Photo Finish: SILENCE! I have heard enough! Away with them!

Jessie (Jessally): [as she was being taken away] You'll regret this!

James: [French accent] You will never have an opportunity such as zis ever again!

Photo Finish: I zink I will manage!

Ash: [sweat drops] That was weird.

Pikachu: Super weird!

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah!

Ash: But they did look awfully familiar...

[music plays]

Ash: Oop. That's your cue, Fluttershy.

Fluttershy nodded and began to make her way onto the stage!

Ash: [to Twilight] If you need me, I'll be in the audience. You know, prince duties.

Twilight Sparkle: [winks at him]

As Ash left backstage, Fluttershy arrived onstage, as a spotlight shown on her!

[ponies cheering]

Ash had just arrived in the audience, watching Fluttershy onstage! Rarity had just arrived, wearing one of her newest designs, which was a purple feathery cape and hat with gems.

Rarity: Guess it's time to see what all the fuss is about.

Ash: Oh! [whispers] Psst! Rarity! Over here!

Rarity: Ash?

Ash: [grins and waves]

Rarity: [goes to him] What are you doing here?

Ash: [fibbing a bit] Well, just like I heard you said, "time to see what all the fuss is about"! Plus, royal prince duties!

Rarity: I see.

Ash: Nice outfit! It looks great on you!

Pikachu: Very pretty!

Rarity: Oh! Why thank you!

The fashionista unicorn smiled and stood closer to the Pokémon Master/Lost Prince.

Rarity: At least I get to see this fuss with you!

Ash: [smiles and nods] Uh-huh!

Meanwhile, the Shiny Eevee had arrived at today's fashion show in hopes of finding Rarity!

Eevee (Shiny): VEE...

It was in luck! It found Rarity standing next to Ash!

Eevee (Shiny): [happy] EEVEE!

But before the Eevee could make its move, Twilight began to use her magic on Fluttershy!

Eevee (Shiny): EEVEE?

She used her magic to make Fluttershy fall flat on her face!

Fluttershy: Oof!

[music stops]

[ponies gasp]

Ash: Ooh. That's gotta hurt.

Pikachu: [winces] Ouch.

She was then being stretched around into different poses!

Fluttershy: [gasp] Ooh... Aah!

Twilight made her fly on the runway then upside down!

[ponies gasping]

Photo Finish: [faints]

Ash: [in his head] So this was Twilight's plan.

Then, Twilight made Fluttershy pick her nose!

Pikachu: Okay, that's just unnecessary.

Lycanroc: That is just gross.

Eevee (Shiny): [disgusted] VEE!

Fluttershy: [scratches herself like a dog; barks]

Lycanroc: Okay, now that's just offensive to dogs everywhere.

The audience was not liking this at all!

Rarity: Oh no.

Ash: Uh... I can explain?

Fluttershy: [brays]

[ponies gasp]

Leavanny: Oh my.

Throh: My word.

Sawk: Very unseemly.

Golden Harvest: Get her off the stage!

Lemon Hearts: She's an embarrassment to all things fashion!

Photo Finish: I, Photo Finish, have made a terrible mistake!

[ponies booing]

Ash: [in his head] Well, at least Twilight's plan is working.

Twilight couldn't agree more as she was smiling behind the curtain!

Rarity: [clicking her hooves] Bravo! I say bravo!

Ash: BRAVO?!

Pikachu: Huh?!

Lycanroc: What?!

Leavanny: You cannot be serious?!

Talonflame: Are you kidding me?!

Eevee (Shiny): VEE?!

Lyrica Lilac: Bravo? Who could possibly say bravo to that horrid display?

Rarity: Such attitude! Such pizzazz! She's invented an entirely new kind of modeling! Bravo!

Lyrica Lilac: Who is saying these things?

The ponies looked in Rarity's direction and took notice to her sparkly outfit.

Royal Ribbon: It's her. The unicorn in the gorgeous cape and headdress.

Ash: Gorgeous is the word for it. [realizes what he just said; blushes; sticks his hoof in his mouth]

Lyrica Lilac: Now that is a pony who clearly knows a thing or two about fashion. And the Prince seems to adore her! Well, if that fabulous pony likes it, then I do too! Bravo!

[ponies cheering]

Ash: Well. That backfired. More or less.

Fluttershy: [moans]

Eevee (Shiny): [worried] EEVEE…

However, Eevee saw this as a chance for Rarity to finally notice its presence!

Eevee (Shiny): [excited] VEE! [strikes poses] EEVEE. VEE. EEVEE. [makes a kissy face] EEVEE~.

However, Rarity was too busy being adored by the crowd that it didn't even notice the Shiny Evolution Pokémon!

Eevee (Shiny): VEE?! [sad] EEVEE…

The Shiny Eevee hung its head in sadness, thinking it would never gain the attention of Rarity, but as it tried to leave, it was stopped by Team Rocket!

Eevee (Shiny): VEE?

Jessie: Hello, rare little Eevee!

James: How nice to see you here!

Meowth: Now, time to be a good Pokémon and come with us!

Eevee (Shiny): [uneasy] VEE... [shakes her head] EEVEE! EEVEE!

Jessie: Too bad! We need a hostage and you'll make the cut! [tries to scoop Eevee into a net]

Eevee (Shiny): [fires Swift at the ground] EEVEE!

Team Rocket: [exclaims]

Eevee (Shiny): [makes a run for it] VEE!

Meowth: Ey! Where'd it go?

James: Find it! Quickly!

Jessie: I want my hostage!

After the fashion show ended, Ash, Twilight, and Fluttershy were in the shy Pegasus's dressing room, and she was very upset from the plan's failure.

Fluttershy: This is awful. Just awful! Somehow I've become more popular than ever.

Ash: I know! I thought this would work!

Pikachu: Me too!

Fluttershy: Oh, I'm so frustrated I could just kick something!

But when Fluttershy did so to a vase, she only nudged it and it stayed standing up!

Leavanny: You call that kicking something? This is what I would do! [lifts the vase up over its head; yells in frustration; slams the vase onto the floor, smashing it pieces]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh my!

Leavanny: [pants]

Ash: Feel better, you two?

Leavanny: Me? I believe so.

Fluttershy: If only Rarity didn't want me to be a model so badly.

Twilight Sparkle: Ugh! But Rarity...! [shoves her hoof into her mouth]

Leavanny: Oh, come on! Let me hear the juicy stuff!

Ash: Yeah, I think this has gone on long enough! Fluttershy, the truth is, Rarity is very-

Pikachu: [covers Ash's mouth with his tail] Ah ah ah!

Ash: [muffled] Pikachu, what are you doing?!

Pikachu: You don't wanna blab either!

Ash: [moves his tail off his mouth] But she needs to know that-

He was interrupted when Rarity came into the dressing room!

Rarity: Fluttershy! Are you all right?

Fluttershy: I'm great! I'm a super famous fashion model. Why wouldn't I be great?

Twilight Sparkle: Because you ha...!

However, she got on the floor and once again covered her mouth in order to prevent her from speaking the truth, this time with both hooves.

Ash: [groans]

Rarity: Out there on the runway, everyone was turning on you and... Oh... Oh, Fluttershy. It's so awful. I wanted them to.

Ash: Huh?

Fluttershy: You did?!

Twilight Sparkle: Of course she did! Because...!

This time, she stuffed a bunch of fruit from a bowl into her mouth.

Ash: Sheesh. Anyway, it's because she...

Pikachu: STOP TALKING!

Ash: [startled] Yipe!

Rarity: I'm jealous! I wanted all the attention. And instead it was going to you. I even started hoping that you would do something silly so your modeling career would be over. But then, when it started happening, all I could think was how could I want you to fail at something you love so much?

Twilight Sparkle: But... Fluttershy doesn't... Ugh!

Thinking she was out of options to keep herself from singing like a canary, the Unicorn rushed over to a potted plant and stuck her head into it!

Ash: [facehooves] Oh, Twilight.

Lycanroc: As she was saying, Fluttershy doesn't...

Pikachu: STOP TALKING!

Ash: [annoyed] Buddy, you don't need to yell!

Pikachu: I'm trying to reference a brown talking raccoon who's friends with a human-sized blue jay!

Fluttershy: It's okay, Pikachu. She needs to know the truth. Rarity, I hate being a model.

Rarity: You do?

Fluttershy: More than anything.

Ash: Yes! The attention is too much for her to handle! She can't take it anymore!

Rarity: Then why did you keep doing it?

Fluttershy: I was afraid if I quit, you'd be mad at me for not wanting to... "shine all over Equestria".

Leavanny: We were only trying to make you happy!

Rarity: And I thought if I told you how jealous I was of your success, you'd think I was a terrible friend.

Lycanroc: Yeah, I was starting to think you were feeling that way, Rarity!

Fluttershy: Never!

Rarity: All this time!

Fluttershy: If we'd just told each other the truth.

Ash: Even though you guys were trying to not hurt each other emotionally or mentally!

Pikachu: Uh-huh!

Ash: I'm glad you two finally cleared things up with each other!

Rarity: Us too, darling! [to Fluttershy] I promise never to keep my feelings in secret again.

Fluttershy: Me too.

Fluttershy and Rarity: [doing the Pinkie Promise gesture] Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye. [laughs]

Ash: You girls!

Pikachu: [giggles]

Lycanroc: Well, I still think cupcakes in the eye is a very silly idea! But very tasty though.

Ash: Anyway, wanna go hit the spa?

Rarity: An excellent idea, my dear!

That's when Photo Finish entered the dressing room!

Photo Finish: You were brilliant. Brilliant! I've already got six photo shoots lined up for tomorrow alone.

Fluttershy: I'm sorry, Photo Finish, but I don't think I'll be able to make any of them.

Ash: Not for a while!

Photo Finish: Whaaat?

Fluttershy and Rarity: [fist bump] We go! [laughing while walking out]

Lycanroc: [laughs; follows them] Classic!

Leavanny: [follows; chuckles] Quite so!

Photo Finish: Vat has just happened?

Ash: You just lost your "mane" attraction! [chuckles] Maybe you should think about that Jessally being your model instead!

Twilight Sparkle: [sticks her head out from the potted plant] Spike has a crush on Rarity!

Ash: Oh brother. [in his head] But pretty soon, the little lizard will realize that Rarity clearly likes me best.

Pinkie Pie: [appears in a mirror; sighs] And you were doing so well.

Ash: [startled] Oh! Where do you always find these hiding places?

Pikachu: And more importantly, it wasn't entirely Twilight's fault when she was pressured with too many secrets to keep!

Ash: [smiles] Who else but Pinkie!

Rarity: Come along, Ash darling~!

Ash: Be right there, Rarity! [to Twilight] You coming, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Sure. Why not.

And off the two friends went to join the fashionista Unicorn and animal loving Pegasus, including the Pokémon! Meanwhile, with the Shiny Eevee, it had gotten away from Team Rocket!

Eevee: [pants] VEE VEE... EEVEE...

That's when it saw Ash, his Pokémon, Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rarity coming around the corner!

Ash: So, I was thinking we all go out for dinner, relax at my place, and then our spa day tomorrow

Rarity: That would be lovely!

Eevee (Shiny): [overjoyed] VEE! [running over to them] EEVEE!

Ash: So, where do you guys wanna go for dinner?

Pikachu: [ears perk up] Huh?

Ash: What's up, buddy?

Pikachu: Look over there!

Eevee (Shiny): [coming over to the group] EEVEE!

Ash: It's the Shiny Eevee!

Pikachu: We finally found it!

Twilight Sparkle: Oh wow!

Fluttershy: How cute!

Rarity: Oh, how adorable!

Eevee (Shiny): [sees Rarity; overjoyed] VEE! [rushes over to her; nuzzles against her leg affectionately] EEVEE!

Rarity: Oh.

Eevee (Shiny): [affectionate] EEVEE VEE!

Ash: Whaddya know! Eevee likes you!

Pikachu: Really likes you!

Fluttershy: [smiles] Oh, that is so sweet.

Twilight Sparkle: I agree!

Eevee (Shiny): [pawing Rarity's hoof; affectionate] VEE VEE! EEVEE!

Ash: You know, I think Eevee wants to be with you!

Rarity: Moi?!

Fluttershy: [putting her hoof to her chin] The other day when I saw it at the spa, it ran off after saying it was looking for someone special.

Twilight Sparkle: [to Rarity] That special someone must've been you, Rarity!

Rarity: Really?

Eevee (Shiny): [nods] EEVEE!

Rarity: Well, I'm flattered!

Then, she used her magic to levitate Eevee!

Eevee (Shiny): VEE?

Rarity: You want to be with me, Eevee?

Eevee (Shiny): [nods eagerly] EEVEE VEE! [saying "I want a beautiful trainer like you and wear super pretty outfits!"] EEVEE VEE VEE EEVEE EEVEE!

Ash: [chuckles] Remember how you said you'd dress it up, Rarity? I think this Eevee really loves fashion like you do!

Rarity: [gasps; turns to Eevee with an excited look upon her face] You do?!

Eevee (Shiny): [smiles and nods] EEVEE!

Rarity: EEEEE!

She then used her magic to bring the Evolution Pokémon into a hug!

Rarity: From now on, you and I are partners until the end!

Eevee: [happy] EEVEE!

Rarity: And I'll seal the deal with a PokéBall later!

Eevee (Shiny): [nuzzles against her affectionately] EEVEE!

Rarity: [giggles] [holds her up] Oh, you are ever so precious and adorable! [cooing and making kissy faces]

Eevee (Shiny): [happy] VEE!

Rarity: [giggles] I love you, Eevee!

Eevee (Shiny): [smiles; saying it loves her too; calling her "Mama"] EEVEE VEE, EEVEE!

Rarity: [giggles]

Ash: Congratulations, Rarity!

Rarity: Thank you, Ash darling!

Ash: And I'll make sure to give you a PokéBall later on!

Rarity: Thank you!

Rotom Dex: [floating in] Ash, there you are! It's nearly time for- [sees the Shiny Eevee; beeps in shock]

Eevee (Shiny): VEE?

Rotom Dex: Is that a Shiny Eevee?!

Rarity: [holding Eevee close to her] Indeed it is!

Rotom Dex: Unbelievable! [starts taking pictures]

Ash: [giggles]

Rarity: [fixes her mane] Make sure you get my good side, Rotom darling!

Rarity's Eevee: [poses] EEVEE~!

Ash: Oh, Rarity.

But then, an extended net came in and scooped up Pikachu and Eevee!

Pikachu: AH!

Eevee (Shiny): [scared] VEE!

Ash: PIKACHU!

Rarity: [horrified] MY LITTLE EEVEE!

Pikachu: HELP!

Fluttershy: W-What's happening?!

Then, came trouble!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, you've ruined my fame!

James: And make it double, you're all to blame!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all people within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: And James!

Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now or prepare for a fashionable fight!

Meowth: Meowth! That's right!

Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!

Ash: Team Rocket!

Eevee (Shiny): [flailing around in the net] EEVEE VEE!

Jessie: Quit your flailing! We wanted you as our hostage to begin with for that lame excuse for a photographer mare!

Ash: [gasps] I knew that flashy mare onstage looked familiar!

Rarity: [angry] Release Pikachu and my little girl at once, you ruffians!

Jessie: Never! I was gonna have the opportunity of a lifetime! If it weren't for that spineless wimp of a pegasus, my dreams of becoming a star would've came true!

Fluttershy frowned and backed behind Twilight!

Ash: I honestly think Photo Finish had the right idea not choosing you!

Pikachu: Yeah! [struggling to break free from the net; grunts]

Ash: Since you won't let our friends go, you've asked for it! [using Teleport] Teleport!

Then, he teleported himself and everyone in the dressing room away, and they ended up in an open field!

Ash: Leavanny, break that net with X-Scissor!

Leavanny: You got it! [uses X-Scissor] HAH!

That managed to snap the net's stick in two!

Team Rocket: [exclaims]

Ash: [using Metal Claw; swiping his hoof around] METAL CLAW!

His bladed hoof shredded the net, freeing Pikachu and Eevee!

Pikachu: We're free!

Eevee (Shiny): [jumps into Rarity's hooves] VEE!

Rarity: Oh, there there, Eevee! You're safe!

Jessie: [tosses two PokéBalls] Seviper! Gourgeist! Come out!

James: [tosses two PokéBalls] Carnivine! Inkay! Get our hostage back!

Seviper: [appearing] SEVIPER!

Gourgeist: [appearing] GOURGEIST!

Inkay: [appearing] INKAY!

Carnivine: [appearing] CARNIVINE!

[CHOMP!]

James: [as Carnivine affectionately bit his head while he tries to pry it off] They're the ones asking for a close up, not me!

Ash: Throh and Sawk, double Poison Jab on Gourgeist and Carnivine!

Sawk and Throh: [Poison Jab move] HIYAH!

Gourgeist: [pained] GOUR!

Carnivine: [pained] VINE!

James: Inkay, use Psybeam!

Inkay: [Psybeam move] IN…KAY!

Ash: Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] Thunderbolt… GO!

The Thunderbolt canceled out the Psybeam and struck Inkay!

Inkay: [electrocuted] KAY!

James: Inkay!

Jessie: [growls] Seviper, use Poison Tail!

Seviper: [Poison Tail move] SEVI…

But then, it was being levitated by Twilight's magic!

Seviper: VI?!

Twilight Sparkle: Not today, snake!

Jessie: Hey! Stay out of this, purple twerpette!

Twilight Sparkle: I don't think so!

Ash: Rarity, Eevee can battle too!

Rarity: Oh. Right.

Rotom Dex: Eevee's current moves are Quick Attack, Swift, Iron Tail, and Attract!

Rarity: Thank you, Rotom dear! Alright, my dear Eevee! Use Quick Attack!

Eevee (Shiny): [Quick Attack move] VEE!

Seviper: [hit] VI!

Rarity: Now, Iron Tail!

Eevee (Shiny): [Iron Tail move] EE…VEE!

Seviper: [pained] SEVI!

Ash: Now to wrap it up! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [Thunderbolt move] THUNDERBOLT… GO!

Team Rocket: [exclaiming while getting zapped]

[BOOM!]

Team Rocket: [flying] WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!

Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!

[star finish]

Ash: That's that taken care of!

Pikachu: Yup!

Ash: Now, who wants pizza?

Fluttershy: That would be nice.

Twilight Sparkle: I agree!

Rarity: That does sound tasty!

Ash: Then let's go!

Soon enough, our heroes began to head off!

Eevee (Shiny): [rushes over to Rarity's side] EEVEE!

Rarity: [smiles] And you get some too, my little Eevee!

Eevee (Shiny): [happy] EEVEE!

Then, Rarity levitated Eevee onto her back!

Eevee (Shiny): VEE?

Rarity: To keep your paws fresh and clean!

Eevee (Shiny): [happy] EEVEE! [asking if they'll get to play dress up tomorrow and wear pretty outfits] EEVEE VEE?

Rarity: Of course, Eevee dear! Oh, I can already picture you wearing the most fabulous outfits! Ooh! I must make you a mini version of my dress for the Grand Galloping Gala! The both of us lovelies will be the belles of the ball!

Eevee: [excited] EEVEE! VEE! [nuzzling against her; saying "I love you so much, Mommy!"] EEVEE VEE VEE, EEVEE!

Rarity: And I love you too, my little Eevee! [nuzzles noses with her] My sweet little girl~!

Eevee: [happy] VEE!

The next day, Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Ash and his Pokémon were hanging out and relaxing at the spa, and they all were happy.

Fluttershy: Now this is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Ash: [relaxing in the hot tub with Pikachu and Lycanroc; sighs in relaxation] It sure is!

Pikachu: [relaxed] This feels so relaxing!

Lycanroc: [relaxed] You said it!

Leavanny: [getting a massage; relaxed] So heavenly…

Rarity had a cucumber facial and was in the sauna with Talonflame and her Eevee!

Rarity: Isn't it, though?

Talonflame: I should say so!

Eevee (Shiny): [relaxing; cucumbers on its eyelids] EEVEE…

Rarity: I'm glad you're enjoying this, Eevee dear!

Twilight Sparkle: "Dear Princess Celestia,
Being a good friend means being able to keep a secret. But you should never be afraid to share your true feelings with a good friend." Did you get all that, Spike?

Spike: No. I did not. I still can't believe you told someone about my secret feelings for Rarity.

Twilight Sparkle: You're right. That was wrong of me, and I'm very sorry.

Spike: Apology accepted.

Twilight Sparkle: Now will you take down my letter to Princess Celestia?

Spike: I would love to. But... [tends to Rarity by using what looked like a palm tree leaf fan] I'm a little busy at the moment.

Twilight Sparkle chuckled and sighed with content as she relaxed in the warm bubbling water.

Ash: [chuckles] Don't worry, Twilight! [holds up a paper] I've written down everything you've said!

Twilight Sparkle: Wow! Thanks, Ash!

Ash: No problem! Now, watch this! [uses his magic; uses the Horse Miraculous power; opens a portal] Voyage! [sends the letter through the portal to Princess Celestia] There!

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] Where did you learn to do magic like that?!

Ash: Story for another time, Twilight!

Twilight smiled from this as a blush tinted on her face!

Twilight Sparkle: [in her head] Wow. That Ash is really full of surprises. Maybe that's why I'm falling for him.

Narrator: Another lesson in friendship has been learned! Never let jealousy prevent you from sharing your true feelings with your best friends! It looks like our Elements of Kindness and Generosity now have their first Pokémon! But will the rest of our mares get some of their own as well? Stay tuned to find out, as the journey through Equestria continues!

To be continued…

And that's the end of this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
