Traveling South from Ponyville for a day and a half brought Jasira, Chemistry, Lycanroc, Ampharos and Snow to Salt Lick City, a small town beyond Equestria which resembled a town you’d find in a western movie; not many buildings at all in the middle of an arid area and the pony civilians didn’t look friendly either.

Entering the town, the townsponies quickly noticed the newcomers in their midst but Winter, Lycanroc and Ampharos kept their guard up to protect Jasira and Chemistry if any of them try anything funny.

Entering a small bar, the girls and their friends sat down at a table in the far right corner before Jasira took out the book, “Okay…. according to the map and what Twilight told us the first pokemon we need to find is Baruseiza, The Patron of Skies. She resides at the top of Malaya Mountain near the Submerged Temple to Tehuti in the Forbidden Jungle, but she’ll only come out on a starry day which luckily is tonight, so we’ve got no time to lose to find the first part of the Key of Nature.” Jasira whispered to her mother.

Chemistry nodded in agreement, “Right.”

“Excuse me ladies….” A voice came before the girls saw an earth pony and his five henchmen near their table. The leading earth pony was a male whom was brown with short and smoothed black mane with gray stripes in it. His cutie mark was a golden skull-like key and his wardrobe was a simple tanish shirt and a red tie with white spots on it. By his side were his five henchponies; Biff, Rogue, Withers, Pickpocket, and Rosy Thorn.

“I couldn’t help but overheard you mention the fabled Key of Nature.” The leader pony began unaware it was drawing the attention of a nearby Pegasus whom was wearing a burgundy cloak an large glasses.

“Hmmm….yeah….and what do you know about it?” Jasira asked cautiously.

“I’ve heard it’s a very powerful artifact and certainly ladies like you would need some assistance looking for such a powerful treasure.”

“Actually, we’re alright good sir.” Jasira replied putting the book back inside her saddlebag, getting a bad feeling about the six ponies. “Now if you’ll excuse us we better get going.”

Jasira and Chemistry attempted to leave but Biff, Rogue, Withers, Pickpocket, and Rosy Thorn blocked the mares and circled them. Lycanroc, Ampharos and Snow snarled at the ponies.

“Sorry ladies, but since you have what we need to find the Key of Nature, you’re gonna have to come with us.” The leader male Earth Pony frowned.

“No way! Who are you anyway?” Jasira demanded and the male laughed.

“The name is Caballeron, young hybrid pony.”

“You’re Daring Do’s enemy and world renowned thief!” Chemistry gasped.

“Haha! Exactly, now hand over the book and we’ll let you go.” Caballeron bargained with the ladies. Lycanroc and Ampharos snarled before Ampharos used Discharge, shocking the six male ponies before the five of them bolted out of the bar together.

“After them!” Caballeron ordered and his henchmen chased after the girls while the cloaked Pegasus exited through the back.

Jasira and Chemistry galloped as fast as they could with Lycanroc, Ampharos and Snow close behind them. “Come on, I’ll teleport us to the Forbidden Jungle!” Jasira lighting her horn and she used a long range teleport spell making them all disappear to Caballeron and his goons’ chargin.

“Curses…” Caballeron growled. “That hybrid is more clever than we thought.”

“So what do we do boss?” Biff asked.

“Easy, we find the girl and get that map to the Mythical Pokemons’ locations. Once we have the map, we’ll capture the pokemon and force them to hand over their Amulets so we can have the Key of Nature and use it to free the Guardian Brothers whom we will use to help Ahuizotl take over Equestria! Hahaha!” Caballeron laughed out his plan.

Meanwhile, Jasira and Chemistry and their friends were teleported into the Forbidden Jungle together, “Okay…that was too close.” Jasira winced.

“Looks like we’re not the only ones whom want to free the Guardian Brothers.” Chemistry added. “But they’ll probably use them for nefarious purposes.”

“Which is why we need to free them first, but we need to make the Key.” Jasira stated.

“Sounds like you’ll need some help.” Another voice came before the group saw a pegasus appear. Her body color is somewhere between dark khaki and arylide yellow. Her mane style is identical to Rainbow Dash's, and consists of six shades of grey that correspond to the six colors in Rainbow Dash's mane like a grayscale rainbow and her cutie mark was a golden compass. Her attire was a dark olivine vest and a tan pith helmet with a dark olive band.

“Woah….Daring Do?” Jasira gasped having heard about her many times from Rainbow and Twilight.

“Haha, I see you recognize me.” Daring smiled. “I saw you’re little confrontation with Caballareon. He’s been after the Guardian Brothers for Ahuizotl’s benefit, he’ll just use them to create the Great Battle of Nature again and destroy Equestria in the process.”

“Well we can’t let them do that. They’ve suffered enough!” Jasira frowned.

“Which is why I’m joining you. I know how Caballeron thinks and plays. I can help you stay one step ahead of him.”

“Thanks Daring Do.” Chemistry smiled. “It must appreciated.”

“No problem.” Daring smiled. “Now come on, I know where the Malaya Mountain is.” With that the girls headed off together now accompanied by the famous Daring Do.
