[The view opens to a shot of the sea. Pure, pristine, gorgeous...

And apparently filled with swarms of oncoming Pokemon.]

Tesla, fire!

[A huge blast of electricity rips past Twilight into the sea, striking all the nearby swarming fossil Pokemon and knocking out a good chunk of them.]

Thank Celestia for strong Electric-types... Does anyone know what's causing this? I woke up this morning and the town was practically covered in these ancient Pokemon. I've been doing my best to hold them back, as have several others, but they just keep on coming no matter what we do. Is this happening everywhere?

[A small group of Kabuto, Omanyte, and Tirtouga dare the beach again only to be zapped into unconsciousness by Tesla. The Magnezone doesn't even seem tired when Twilight turns the camera on it, though it would probably be hard to tell...]

We've been okay so far, but we can't keep this up forever. And what if they start coming from somewhere aside from-

[There's a loud cry from behind. Twilight whirls around and the shot pans up to show the top of the lighthouse-

Which is covered in Archen that have just flown down from Route 39.]

The sea. Oh horseapples.

[One of the Archen screeches as it lifts off, and the feed ends with that ominous shot.]

Rainbow! Where are Pinkie, Rarity and Spike? Are they safe? Did you get them to Center or the Hotel or... something?

[Rainbow herself Twilight's not all too worried about. Her Pokemon are plenty strong by this point and she should be able to handle herself. But the other ponies and Spike are a completely different story.]

(Uh-oh. Twilight's worried, and that's not a good thing. Better calm her down 'cause when Twilight worries she can't get them out of this...whatever it is!)

It's not easy getting through all these...weird Pokemon, but I'm looking for 'em right now! I left Spike near the Park 'cause he wanted some training before this went down...hang on...GO, DASH!

(Ta-da! A fiery blue mane appears as Rainbow jumps onto Dash's back with Lightning on her shoulder, recalling Daring and then Blaze before the Fire-type broke into a very fast run.)

Heading back to the Park now! Pinkie and Rarity can't be too far from me if I'm reading the Gear right, and the first thing I do when I get Spike I'm gonna drop him off at the Center! And I'll leave Daring to look out for him! (A beat while she blinks a few times.) What's going on, Twilight?!

Alright, find Spike first, then grab the other girls. Their teams are in no way equipped to deal with this sort of outbreak. I'm counting on you, Rainbow!

[A group of Archen swarm around here, only to be shocked out of the sky by a Discharge. Twilight's hair stands on end, but she seems mostly unaffected despite being at ground zero for Tesla's attacks. Odd.]

As for what's happening, what I can tell is that there was a Seance held last night by Saffron's gym leader, Sabrina. It went wrong, and... well, this is the result. For anything more specific, I don't know.

You got it! Leave everything to me.

(The screen suddenly goes above Rainbow's head to show Lightning -in mid-air, not surprisingly- and shooting a powerful Thunder that takes down an approaching group of Kabuto on her far left before the Electric-type lands in her lap.

Dash takes that moment to blink once more.) Hey, Twilight - what's a seance? Is that one of those things Pinkie does when her Pinkie Sense is acting up?

It's a ritual to contact the spirits of the dead.

[She'll give Rainbow a few moments to react to that sentence before continuing.]

Really? (A beat, and she grins.)

Sweet! Think they'd be able to contact anypony we know, like that weird old guy you dressed up as for Nightmare Night?

(The 'old guy' has a name, plus Twilight named one of her Pokemon after him.)

Trust you to be enthusiastic about that...

No, Rainbow, I'm pretty sure they're just going to be able to contact people who died in this world. Well, people and Pokemon. Which is how we get to our current problem. Also, his name is Starswirl. You know, like my Alakazam?

[Starswirl the Mustachioed!]

Hehehe, like I trust you to have your head in books.

Ohhh, that's why these guys are running around! (Lightning leaps out of Rainbow's lap and, though it's not seen onscreen, a Thunderbolt attack is used on approaching Archen before she lands back on her shoulder.) Right - Starswirl, like how I named my Pidgeot after Soarin'?

Edited 2013-08-13 01:28 (UTC)

Yes, like that. Though I'm not sure how much he'd appreciate being compared to an overgrown pigeon.

[Somewhere in Violet City, Falkner is shouting "hey!" and doesn't know why.]

At any rate, until they figure out a way to reverse the process, it looks like these things are just going to keep coming. So it's up to everyone who can fight them off to do just that. But like I said, first priority is making sure the people who can't fight are safe. That's why Cadence is staying in the inn for now.

Hehehe, it's not like I've nameed any of my other Pokemon after somepony from Equestria! What, am I gonna name my Dragonite after Fleetfoot or Spitfire?

(She nods briefly, realizing that much like Pinkie, Rarity and Spike, Cadence's Pokemon weren't nearly as high-leveled as theirs.)

Right! I'll get Pinkie, Rarity and Spike back to the Center asap before coming back out to deal with this.

Come to think of it, I think Riku has a Charizard named Spitfire. Or was that Sora... Well, that's not the point. You get them there, and get back in contact with me once they're safe, alright? I'm going to let you go so you can focus on that.

Wait a second...are you talking about Riku's shiny Charizard? Really?! (Rainbow will laugh at that for a moment or two before getting serious again.)

Right! I'll let you know the minute they're safe, Twilight!

(The last thing Twilight sees will be a sudden Thunderbolt from Lightning onscreen.)
