    • Epilogue – 2 Cover
      by Starscribe — Lotus rarely visited Canterlot anymore—less often than in her first year in Equestria. She could only sit for so many interviews and appear in so many elaborate public ceremonies before they all turned exhausting. Besides, she had a family to think about. Nothing could beat the peaceful, rural quiet of Hono.Until the village burned to ashes.Even so, there was something particularly impressive about arriving in Canterlot by train. Almost an hour weaving slowly up switchbacks up the mountains, until…
    • Epilogue – 1 Cover
      by Starscribe — The flames burned high over Hono that night. Hono wasn't just a village built on discipline, friendship, and cooperation—it depended on those things to continue to exist. It took only one soul to lose control of their anger, just once. If the residents couldn't get things under control almost instantly, they probably never would.That night, they didn't. Blue flames turned orange as the town's largest structures caught fire, and its ancient trees burned. Hono survived a war, survived the return of the…
    • Epilogue Cover
      by Starscribe — The True-Myth Club had rented out the entire Lilycove convention hall. No one made fun of Lane's costume as she glided through the dealer room, tablet under one arm. Her outfit was as pink as the tail trailing behind her. Keeping the damn thing while she was human amounted to nearly six feet of furry, mischievous fluff, but at least she'd cut a hole for it this time. Maybe the leader of one of the world's largest teams should dress with a little more dignity, but that word had barely even…
    • Epilogue Cover
      by Starscribe — Quinn knew where he would end up, eventually. Not right away—but a time traveler did not need to rush. He could wait until his daughter was grown a little older, and he'd befriended enough of the local Mythicals to leave her in their care. Cedrin had already moved on, though he still visited often. The young Celebi had his own life to live. With Sinnoh brought safely to its new home, Team Infinity made rapid progress. It didn’t need someone like him to share what bits and pieces he’d gathered…
    • Chapter Two Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh Lehman was the greatest Pokémon master to ever live. He knew it in his bones, the same way he knew that pleasure was good and pain was bad. He knew it every time he stepped onto a stadium floor, or went out into the wild to catch something new. He knew it with every scream of adoration from his fans. Most importantly, he knew it in the way he got what he wanted. When he told the Kanto Defense Board that he was going to travel aboard the first rescue ship to Orre, they hadn't batted an…
    • Chapter Twenty-Two Cover
      by Starscribe — Lane left a trail of destruction through the airship. At first that just meant turning aside anyone who stumbled into them by accident—but eventually the alarms started blaring, and the marines poured across the deck. She couldn't change them all—it might make for a dramatic entry, but it would also leave her weak for whatever defenses Team Plasma left to defend such a valuable airship. Thousands of personnel and just as many tons of steel and computers had to be out here doing something. She…
    • Chapter Twenty-Three Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh had been in hundreds of Pokémon battles over the course of her career. As she rose through the ranks, that meant seeing more and more powerful attacks, moves that would cause swift and painful death to any human caught in the crossfire. But never in her career had those attacks been aimed at her. An attack like that meant certain death. She heard the crash of thunder, felt the air blasting around her—but no pain. She opened one eye, and found the world stained pink. They were in a shield. Energy…
    • Chapter Twenty-Six Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh didn't take them far. A little ways down the road, until she couldn't feel any other eyes on them. Each house held so much land that there were wide gaps between them, with well-manicured lawns and perfect little gardens. Despite the name of the street, there wasn't a big red flower in sight. Not unless they took a walk down into the valley. They didn't yet, though Aspen kept squirming for it. Sooner or later, she'd slip off on her own. "Hide us, Mirage," Shiloh…
    • Chapter Twenty-Seven Cover
      by Starscribe — "I sure do," Shiloh said, holding Aspen out on one arm. The Pokémon made it most of the way to the bed, before the butler gestured in their direction, making Shiloh retreat. "Tell the young mistress about yourself, Holly. June, this might be your new governess. If you see anything out of place, please say so. You deserve the best company." The child reached to the side, manipulating the hospital-bed controls. She rose slowly, settling into a sitting position. "Do you know anything…
    • Chapter Twenty-One Cover
      by Starscribe — Shiloh was in the presence of a god.  In all her research hunting for the perfect team, with every firm she paid to search for something special for her, she had barely even extracted whispers of this creature. Mew were already so incredibly rare that most believed them extinct. She had treated old stories about its genetically-engineered successor to be just that—stories. I had no idea what I was getting myself into by battling mew. The more she saw of Lane's world, the more Shiloh realized she…
