Canterlot Castle

1 day after Ponyville attack

The throne room was quite active, as several guards were stationed at full alert due to the new threat. Luna stood tall with her sister as they waited for Twilight and her friends. The doors swung open and a group of six mares walked along the red carpet leading to the throne room.

The group finally stopped just in front of the steps. "I thank you for coming on such short notice, im afraid that Equestria is in danger and it needs your help."

Rainbow Dash flew up and spoke confidently. "Just tell us what to do, and we'll have it done 10 seconds flat." Twilight used her magic to pull Rainbow back to the group.

Luna cleared her throat. "We do not think it would be wise for thou to underestimate them, after all thou have only merely had a taste of what they are capable of."

Celestia nodded. "Indeed those four creatures my Victreebel had fought were not even close to be their strongest Pokémon, with the exception of Amoongus." The group started to worry.

Twilight stepped forward nervously. "um, Princess is there any information you can give us of them."

Celestia smiled. "Of course Twilight no need to be nervous." Celestia cleared her throat for what will be no doubt a long talk.  " The three figures who attack Ponyville yesterday are James, Jessie, and Meowth or better known as Team Rocket."

"Jessie and James both control a large number of strange and magical creatures known as Pokémon, last we counted they control 18." Luna added.

"19, if you count Meowth, and 20 if you count Wobbuffet."

"Yes well, these Pokémon are often use by Team Rocket for battling, although they are used for battling Team Rocket's Pokémon seem to share a strong bond with their trainers, back then Starswirl would often spend his time researching the Pokémon and would put all his findings in this book." Luna levitated a large brown book and handed it to Twilight, who had to suppress a large squeal at the sight of the book. " But even with all of the information the book possess, we still don't know everything about the Pokémon, there are still many mysteries surrounding the Pokémon ."

Applejack stepped forward, a look of concern on her face. "The Pokémon, they wont kill us will they?"

Celestia shook her head easing the ponies fear. "No, even Team Rocket wouldn't dare kill anypony."

"Except for us." Luna whispered.

"However even though the Pokémon wont kill a pony, they are still very dangerous."

"How dangerous are they?" Fluttershy nervously added.

"Dangerous enough to defeat a Manticore by itself." All of the mares gasped, a few of them exchange nervous looks.

Suddenly a the doors slammed open, revealing a very beat up guard, his armor was a different color than the rest, it was a dark green, with a few gold streaks. "Your highness, your private garden has been attacked....The inhabitants captured....All of the guards beaten....We couldn't stop them." The guard collapsed barely breathing.

Celestia's eyes widen.

"Tia that's were all of the Pokémon are hidden."

In a bright flash of light everyone in the room had disappeared.

Canterlot Castle

The Hidden Garden

Everypony in Canterlot had always been aware of a hidden garden in Canterlot Castle, the only ponies allowed there are the princesses, and a few selected others, the guards that had been stationed there were sworn to secrecy, never to be allowed to speak of anything they see there, for if one were to tell somepony what they saw, they and whoever else they told will be sent to the dungeons for treason. Many had speculated that the gardens hide a very powerful artifact full of unimaginable power the same power that made Celestia and Luna into alicorns, a few even believe that the gardens hide a foe so powerful that they could not risk having it seen in public, and even a few crackpot conspiracy theorist believe that the gardens hold the true king and queen of Equestria as prisoners.

However as grand as the rumors are none of them are true. But instead the gardens is not a prison for what ever lies behind there, but instead is a sanctuary built by the great Starswirl the bearded for the creatures that live behind the walls. These creatures are ones that no pony has ever seen for they hold great power that even dwarfs most unicorns magic's, they come as two separate kind, the Flycatchers Pokémon which come as three subspecies Victreebel, Weepinbel, and the Bellsprouts, and the pink chameleon like Pokémon which come as two different species Lickitungs and Lickilickys. Every day Celestia comes to the garden to check on the creatures that Starswirl had spend so much time studying, every fifty years however Celestia comes down to the gardens in hope of finding a new Pokémon that will become her partner, personal guard, as well as a friend once her old Pokémon had become too old to do anything. Recently when Princess Luna had returned Celestia had introduced her to the gardens and all of its inhabitants, not only that, but it was on that day where Princess Luna had found a new friend as well as a personal guard.

Now that very garden has been invaded and all of the Pokémon living there captured and all put on one giant cage, and the guards unconscious and tied up to a tree. The ones behind it all were no other than Team Rocket.

Jessie stared at the cage dumbfounded. "I cant believe Celestia has this many Pokémon."

Meowth stood right next to her."Ya, how many Pokémon does a princess need? Is she trying to create a Pokémon army or something?"

"Who cares about that! Look at all the cute Weepinbels! And Victreebels!" James stood in front of the cage gushing over all the plant type Pokémon. "You know what im going to catch one."

But before James could take out a pokeball, a blinding white light appeared, revealing both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, several guards, and the six mares from Ponyville.

Rainbow dash was the first to recover the mass transportation. "Hey, look! Its Team Missile!"

"IT'S TEAM ROCKET YOU FEATHER BRAIN!!!"  

    Celestia looked all around the garden with wide eyes before they finally settled at the cage full of Pokémon. "Team Rocket you will release those Pokémon know! Or else I'll make sure you will pay for the trouble you have caused."

Both Jessie and James stiffened. "Pay for the trouble you say...."

Luna groaned and facehoofing while glaring at her sister. "Great thanks a lot Tia."

Celestia flinch under Luna's glare "Uhhh, Opps."

"Prepare for trouble from beyond the skies!

From beyond the stars, a nasty surprise!

An evil as old as the galaxy...

Plus, there's me!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

Anywhere there's peace in the universe...

Team Rocket...

To make everything worse!

Wobbuffet!

Mime Mime! "

At the sight of the baby mime Pokémon, Fluttershy quickly rushed over it giving him a tight hug. "Awww, Your so adorable!"

James bent down having to stifle a chuckle as he saw his Mime Jr. trying to pry the mare of him. "He is quite cute, isn't he."

Fluttershy meet James gaze, and surprisingly didn't shy away. "Oh yes, I can tell by how soft his coat is, you must take good care of him don't you."

James scratch the back of his head not used to being praised. "Oh well I do try my best at trying to take care of all my Pokémon."

"And your doing a very good job at it to."

"Oh why thank you, but im sure anyone could do it just as good."

"Oh no, not many ponies take care of their pets as well, and I see he has been well fed."

"Thank you, but I really don't see them as pets, I tend to care for them as if they were family."

"You know by how well he looks, I really think it shows."

"Really? You think so?"

"Oh I do."

Before Fluttershy and James can continue their conversation, a loud cough erupted from both sides.

James was the first to react. "Oh! Well it seems that I have forgotten what we were doing in the first place, miss..."

Fluttershy blushed at embarrassment for forgetting to give the man her name. "Oh its Fluttershy."

"Fluttershy, huh, well my name is James, we simply must have this conversation another time."

"Oh yes, it was quiet delightful."

"Hmm, say we could continue later this week say Saturday?"

"Oh yes of course, I live in the cottage near the Everfree, just come by whenever you like."

"I will, well I'll be seeing you later."

The two walked back to their respective parties, not noticing the looks they've been receiving.

Meowth jumped up to Jessie's shoulder. "Looks like jimmy finally snagged one, and a looker too." Meowth winked at James, who was oblivious to what he was implying.

A loud cough came from Celestia trying to gain everyone's attention. "So can you let the Pokémon go?"

Jessie who had been trying to keep herself calm the whole time yelled. "NO! You just cant have them back." Jessie threw a pokeball in the air. "GO! Seviper." A large black snake with several yellow patterns appeared from the ball.

"SEVIPER!!!"

"*Sigh* Should of known, GRUADS CAPTURE THEM!!!"

In a few seconds all the guards in the area charged towards Team Rocket, only for all of them to fall in a hole.

Meowth grinned "Hey looks like those hours wasted on digging a hole wasn't a total waste after all."

Wobbuffet nodded. "Wobbuffet

Twilight looked at the book Luna had given her, flipping through the pages until she finally found a page that had picture of Seviper.

'Seviper

The Poison Fang Pokémon

Poison Elemental

               Bio:

Seviper is a serpentine Pokémon that is usually seen scrunched up like an accordion. It is mostly black, but has several markings on its body. It has yellow hexagon markings that run from its head to its tail, small yellow bumps where it touches the ground, and various purple scar-like marks. It has elongated red fangs that protrude from its upper jaw and fierce red eyes. Its tail is partially red and has a blade-like shape. Seviper sharpens its tail on rocks, and can use it for its signature move, Poison Tail. Seviper wraps around its opponents to make them unable to move. Its tail and fangs are venomous, and are used for striking and poisoning prey or enemies. It has been bitter enemies with the Zangoes when we first encountered it.

Seviper is shown to have a passion for battling. It was also proven to be intelligent, outsmarting us and not falling for our traps. It was also shown to be a mean and nasty Pokémon, constantly bulling smaller animals.

Twilight stared at the book wide eyes before slowly looking up at the Seviper, who was grinning at her with its red eyes. "EEP."
