It had been several weeks since the Ponds' wedding. The two had settled together as a married couple to do married couple things. This left the Doctor on his own for a while. He didn't mind too much. It meant he could spend time on adventures and focusing on solving problems without having to watch after companions who so loved to wander off. Still it got rather lonesome and adventures weren't quite as fun without someone to impress. Still adventure was adventure, and as the humans always say, "you should never look a gift horse in the mouth."( whatever that may mean...)

Today he was in Versailles, pre revolutionary France. He had originally come for a party (he did so love dancing) but was dragged into a mystery of sorts. Someone or something had trashed the kitchen. There were scorch marks, claw marks, and bite marks all over the place. Quite a bit of food (specifically the desserts) were missing. Many had assumed that a dog or two must have gotten in, but the chef claimed otherwise. He said that upon finding the disaster, he saw a pink blur and a red blur quickly speed out of the room. Also, some of the food splattered foot prints looked more like they belonged to a reptile rather than a dog.

The Doctor became curious and decided to investigate. It was not hard to find the cause of the mess using the sonic. Saliva from the bite marks gave him a good DNA sample to track (aswell as a small trail of crumbs from the desserts). It lead him to a stable for the horses. Upon opening th door of the stable, one of the first things he noticed was a glowing light in the corner behind a water trough. The horses all seemed to be looking towards that corner, and some seemed to have backed as far as the could in their stalls out of fear. Whatever was in that corner must be truly dangerous.

The Doctor approached it with caution. As he got closer, he decided it would be best to crawl across the floor as to not startle the creatures if they saw him. He could hear them hungrily munching on something and as he peered over the watering trough he saw...well, he didn't know what he saw! Sitting before him on the ground were two creatures. One was about two feet tall, red, and looked like a raptor of some sort with a single horn on its head. Its most striking feature though, was that it had a flaming tail, and it didn't seem to be bothered by it at all!

The other looked about one foot tall, but it was lying down, so it was probably taller. It was pink and white, fox-like with long bunny like ears, big blue eyes, and...was that a bow-tie?! It was! It had a naturally forming bow-tie on its neck and long ribbon like appendages attached to it. It also had a similar bow at the base of one of its ears, but that's not important. It had a bow-tie! That was so cool!

The creatures eventually noticed the Doctor staring at them. They immediately stopped eating and stared back. There was a long silence between them until the two creatures took up fighting stances and began to growl at him. The Doctor quickly put his hands up in a sign of peace as he got up and backed away. "No, no!" he said, "It's ok. Look I'm harmless!" The two creatures came out from behind the water trough, still growling angrily.

Words weren't getting through to them. He had to try something else! Looking at them again, he noticed just how hungry they were. Their ribs were showing slightly. Their scales and fur weren't glossy like most healthy animals. An idea suddenly hit the Doctor. He reached into his gigantic pockets and pulled out a package of Jammy Dodgers. He wasn't exactly sure what they ate but seeing as they chose the desserts over the meats, fruits, and vegetables; these couldn't be too bad for them, right? "Hey, are you lot hungry?" he asked pulling some of the cookies out of the package and holding them out for them.

The two were suddenly mesmerized by the jam filled cookies. They took a few tentative steps forward, sniffed them, and then each took a bite out of one. They both cheered in delight grabbing more out of his hand and began to eat them quickly. The Doctor chuckled. "No settle down you two! You'll give yourselves the hiccups!" he said smiling at them. While the red reptile grabbed another the pink and white bow-tie fox thing decided to jump on him.

"Sylve!" it shouted happily as it sent him stumbling backwards on to his backside.

"Woah!" he said as he fell backwards. Despite falling on his butt, he laughed when the cute fox like creature began to nuzzle him. "You're very welcome!" he said, still chuckling. As the strange creature continued its show of affection, the Doctor felt something poke his arm. He turned to see the red creature looking at him expectantly.

"Char, Charmeleon?" it said pointing towards its mouth and rubbing its stomach.

"Still hungry, eh? Sorry, but I don't have anything more with me, but I have plenty more on the TARDIS. If you come with me I would be more than willing to give you both some!" he said to it. The creature seemed skeptical at first but after an spoken conversation with the other creature it seem to reluctantly agree. "Splendid then!" he said getting up. The bow-tie fox jumped down from where it had been sitting on him. After he got up it started following him closely. The red creature still seemed to keep a distance though.

(Time skip)

The two creatures gasped in amazement as they saw the interior of the TARDIS. "SylveON!" the fox creature said as it moved further inside the TARDIS.

"I assume that meant something along the lines of 'it's bigger on the inside'. If so, yes, yes she is!" the Doctor said, "Ok! First things first, before I feed you, I'm going to need to know what your species are." He pulled out his sonic to scan the two of them. The fox creature didn't seem to mind but the flaming lizard found the sonic annoying and tried to nip at it. "Hey!" the Doctor said frowning, "No biting!"

Afterwards he turned and fed the information into the TARDIS. "In a few minutes I should have everything I'll need to know about you two!" the Doctor said. Unfortunately, the Doctor was wrong. All that appeared on the TARDIS screen was the images of the creatures, the species names, and the genders of the two that had been scanned (both were male). "That's it? In the entirety of the universe that's the only information on you two?!" the Doctor said incredulous, "No discovery date? No planet of origin? No dietary habits?" He turned to the two of them and they just shrugged. The Doctor tried a few more times but still nothing. "Well, I guess we'll just have to figure it out on our own, won't we?" he said, "To the kitchen!"

(Time Skip)

The Doctor had placed a wide array of healthy food out before them(even if they liked to eat them, that many sweets can't be good for them). The fox creature (who he now knew was called a sylveon) seemed to prefer fruits and sweet vegetables as opposed to meats. The red reptile (which he found was called a charmeleon) however, like meats instead of vegetables. It especially liked fish fingers.

The doctor watched the two eat to their hearts' content as he thought about their puzzling situation. There were so many unanswered questions. Where were they from? Why was there so little information about them on the TARDIS mainframe? How did they get in pre revolutionary France? Most importantly, what was he supposed to do with them? He didn't know of any planet he could take them back to. Maybe...

"Hey," he said getting their attention, "I was wondering...Would you two like to stay with me?" The sylveon began to wag its tail and jumped into the Doctor's lap, licking his face. "I take that as a yes!" the Doctor said. He then turned to the charmeleon. He seemed to debate it for a minute before nodding. The Doctor smiled brightly. "Brilliant!" he said.

He got up, carrying the Sylveon with him to the console room. He began to push buttons and pull levers. He could go to a party in Versailles anytime. Going off to see the universe with two new companions was alway a one of a kind experience. "Geronimo!" he said pulling one final lever. The TARDIS began to shake and make its strange, unique sound as it took off. While the Doctor laughed as he gripped the console, the two pokemon weren't so amused, especially Charmeleon. When it stopped and the Doctor was still chuckling, he sent a small fireball the Doctor's way, who yelped and ducked. "Note to self," the Doctor said as the charmeleon smirked at him, "Never get you angry!"
