It was a nice late-morning in Canterlot as Cheerilee led her class towards the area of interest right outside the palace labyrinth, Ms. Cheerilee and her class on a field trip from Ponyville. Out of the class, the most noteworthy would be three young fillies. The names of the three are Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, who regularly cause extensive property damage in pursuit of their cutie marks. They drifted to and fro, gawking at every statue they came across, before arriving at Victory’s statue and having a discussion over her cutie mark, which quickly dissolved into an argument involving dictionaries.

Their attention was quickly gained by their teacher, as she directed them towards one of the more infamous statues. The creature of chaos, the master of disharmony, Discord. The fillies and colts looked in awe at the mismatched creature that once ruled Equestria with an iron paw/claw. However, the group quickly left as an argument began over what the statue represented.

The statue pulsed with a purple light as the stony surface began to crack and split, and with a very dramatic explosion, Discord was free. He briefly spent the first few seconds cracking his joints before looking around.

“ARGH, now where I can find those three buffoons? I would like to cause as much chaos as I can and they typically don’t disappoint me.” He said with a smirk on his face. Discord looked around his surroundings before spotting the hedge maze.

Without another word he made his way towards the large hedge maze, weaving his way to and fro, making the necessary twists and turns to reach his target: the maze center.

A popular myth regarding the maze was that Celestia had sculpted it herself and placed a prize in the center for those who could solve it. A feat easier said than done, as few ponies had the patience to persist in this endeavor. Those who cheated would be disappointed to find no reward in the center.

As Discord arrives in the center, we can see that the myth holds true. Before him stands a masterpiece that would make any artisan green with envy (provided that they’re not already green). The masterpiece in question is a large marble 3-tier fountain. The bottom tier consisted of numerous fillies and colts enjoying the bliss of their childhood. The middle tier showed three ponies, one from each of the races, performing their talents: a pegasus shaping a cloud, an earth pony tending to the wildlife, and a unicorn with its horn sparking with magic. The top tier showed Celestia and Luna holding their respective astral bodies.

However the fountain was not discord's goal in fact it was what was near the fountain, for there stood a statue with three unique looking creatures there expressions showed that they spent there last moments laughing, the statue representing Wisdom, Passion, and Destruction. These three creatures were known as Jessie, James, and meowth, or better yet known as Team Rocket, or to those who knew them, Tomas and Sarah.

Discord, took a whole three seconds before he floated over and casted a spell on the statue so he would be able to communicate with them. " Helllloooo! anyone home!!  "

"It's Discord, he's come to save us!! "

"Hooray!"

"Ya! We never doubted you for a second boss!"

" So how are guys doing! hope these last thousand years haven't been too dreadful"

" Are you kidding!? It was terrible!"

" Ya! Especially with all those damn pigeons!"

" And they even had the nerve to make fun of my hair! RGH!!! When I get my hands on those fillies!"

" Ya, ya, Down to business, look I'm not going to free you three right away."

"WHAT!!!"All three of them yelled making discord ears ring for a few seconds.

" Look I'm going to free you but first I need to secure my place as king, so here's what I'm going to do im going to place a spell on you three so when I sure I have won the spell will free you from your prison, however if I fail the spell will teleport you out of canterlot outside the everfree forest were you will be free and work together to free me, got it!? "

" Genius boss simply genius "

" That's our Discord smart and considerate."

"Are we talking about the same Discord?"

Discord grinned enjoying the boost in ego from his three comrades." Yes I am aren't I, well any ways ta ta!!" with that discord teleported away.

(Five hours later)

" Hey, you dont think Discord forgot us right?"

" of course not! he's probaly just securing the throne"

" Or maybe he just lost."

" Don't you dare speak like that again, what would Dis-!" The statue glowed in a blinding white light before it disappeared.

Outside ponyville in the boarder of the everfree forest there was a blinding white light and from the light team rocket came out. slightly dizzy James was the first to notice the change in scenery. " hey, where are we?"

Meowth looked around for any signs of Discord or his chaos. " I guess from how peaceful everything is, I say were outside the Everfree forest near Ponyville." Meowth slowly released what this meant. " aaahhh guys do you what this means, it means Discord lost!"

Sarah looked at Meowth who was panicking." But if that's true then." Sarah and Tomas both looked at each other before going to near panic themselves.

"But if that's true then what are we going to do?"

Sarah started to take a few calming breaths, before she looked towards Tomas with determination in her eyes. "I'll tell you what were going to do were going to do were going to up there defeat those ponies, get the elements and free Discord."

Meowth dimly walk towards Sarah. "But Sarah if Discord cant beat him what hope do we have."

Sarah walked over too Meowth. " I'll tell you what we have that he doesn't" Both Tomas and Meowth look at Sarah confused. "What we have that Discord doesn't is the exact reason why he recruited us, our Pokémon."

Meowth and Tomas looked at each other in realization. "That's right!"

Sarah glared down at Ponyville menacingly. "and while were at it we can show Equestria why they should fear the name Team Rocket"

All three of them grin and started to shout towards the sky. "TEAM ROCKET BLAST OFF TO THE SPEED OF LIGHT SURRENDER NOW OR PREPARE TO FIGHT!!!"

"MEOWTH THATS RIGHT!"
