Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
When someone lived for centuries, they found themselves returning to the same thoughts time and time again. The world changing more quickly just meant that the cycle had accelerated to match. And thus Adagio Dazzle came to a conclusion that she'd already reached several times in the past decade:
Detention is a punishment because no one wants to be in school.
Of course, the students weren't punished by having to be Mr. Discord's teaching assistant. Granted, they hadn't tried to scrape samples off of Coloratura's heartstone while she slept, so Adagio grudgingly allowed that there might be some justification in her playing science monkey to a bunch of disinterested children.
A bang like a gunshot shocked her out of her ruminations. "And that," cackled Mr. Discord, "is what happens when you take away the strong nuclear force!"
Alright, "disinterested" could never describe a student in that madman's class. And that was putting aside the boys and occassional girl who'd been spending more time looking at her than whatever Mr. Discord was doing. Adagio had to admit, there had to have been something in the water at Canterlot High. There wasn't a bad-looking specimen in the bunch. If things had gone her way, she'd probably have kept the town as a breeding population for eye candy.
One snack in particular made her take a second look, followed by a lengthy third. A glance at the calendar confirmed that she hadn't gone back twenty-odd years without realzing it.
"... and Adagio will return your exams to you." Mr. Discord saying her name brought her attention to the stack of papers nudging her shoulder. She rolled her eyes. Everyone in the room knew he could simply send the things back to their owners, but this was her punishment. Tide's sake, he had to make them tug her towards the right desks; it wasn't like she ever bothered to learn the fry's names.
Though she did pay attention to one. When she got close, she shuffled that test to the bottom of the stack. After handing them back to everyone else, she lingered by her target. "So. Button Mash."
He blinked up at her. "Uh, yeah?"
"I don't suppose you'd know a Brave Heart?"
Button gave a slow nod, incomprehension plain on his face. "He's my dad."
"Really? How fascinating." Adagio knelt next to him, favoring him with a half-lidded smile. "We met somewhere in the Seashells, just off Mount Aris."
"Can I have my exam back?"
That got a throaty chuckle. "You know, I could teach you so much more than—"
At that point, a pillar of bright green magic slammed Adagio to the floor. She lay there, stunned more out of shock than pain or injury. "What just happened?"
"Sweetie Belle used Future Sight," Button said, sounding far more certain.
"That tells me nothing."
"Tells me what she was frowning at during lunch."
"Really, Adagio, I thought a siren would know better than to toy with one chosen by the Fates." She blinked and found herself standing in front of the class again. Mr. Discord shook his head, not even bothering to hide his smile. "And that's another week of TA duty for not waiting until they're eighteen and out of my classroom."
Ruto, Lulu, Mipha... There's something about Link and fish women. Apparently it's genetic.
And yes, that's meant to be a pun on the Seychelles.

I'd add a "it's super effective" but... it's Adagio. Depending on the game, it either can't hit super-effectively or can't touch her at all.
More Link. I am happy. And seriously, Adagio, at least wait until they're legal.

>implying someone with actual future sight wouldn't supplement Future Sight with Miracle Eye.
Brave Heart!
He come to town!
Yeah, there's just something about Links that make fish girls go nuts over them. I hope Button's Mom doesn't hold that against Brave Heart.
And that their Equestrian counterparts have met some nice seaponies at Mt. Aris.

Fair enough. The point was that I can't sanction a repeat of the whole "Triple Finish" debacle. (Tri Attack is Normal-Type, setting the precedent that having three types means you actually have zero. They could have used the critical hit notification instead, and there was even another character whose Final Smash was named Critical Hit. )
Oh god, I'm dying. Adagio should be glad it wasn't the legendary version.
9707491
She's a water/fairy type. So not very effective but enough to get the message.
ahhahahahahha, pokemon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not so fast, bucko. Sowing hatred then reaping what you sow is far closer to Ghost than Fairy; the counterjoke was going for Dark which is honestly closer to "asshole type" than anything else but still has Dark Pulse to be the thing she does. Definitely still Water-type though, which sort of negates 9707846's proposal (which is only +20 Base Power nowadays anyway). Also, upon closer inspection, Water/Fairy doesn't actually resist Psychic. Without such a resistance, base 120 plus STAB off of what we can safely assume is her highest stat is going to hurt even with the probable level disadvantage.

YEY!!!!!
Adaigo, I don't care how hot his dad is...no going /ss/ on Mash.

To be clear, Pokémon mechanics aren't actually at work. Sweetie Belle aimed a magical dopeslap through time and space and Button explained it in the way he best understood.
Mind you, he is more than okay with having a legendary Psychic-type for a girlfriend. (And she's clearly a legendary. She's even part of a trio!)

I know I don't make it very clear in the text, but Button's in his junior year and seventeen at this point. Still not legal, yes, but physically mature enough that Adagio's almost Pavlovian response to an attractive, impressionable youth kicked in.

I imagine she has coffee-fueled grumble sessions with Aspartame on a frequent basis. (Note to self: Get back to that story.)

Counter, fairies use stat lowering moves like Charm or have abilities like Cute Charm to make the other sex infatuated. Disarming Voice is another fairy move so my argument is valid for Adagio being a water/fairy type but mega evolved, then she's water/dark.
'... And tha'ts what happens when you take away the Strong Nuclear Force!"
Including being at ground zero of your own Large Hadron Collision. Excuse me whilst I take what i know of sub-elementary physics, sit in a corner and suck my thumb for comfort.

Well, this is Discord we're talking about. The man could make a nuke rain cotton candy. He's more effective at teaching what Physics ain't than what it is.
Now, if you told me he accomplished that without his powers, thus proving the Saturation-verse is weird when it comes to physics... I think I just might join you.

Rest assured, this happened a few years after the world changed.
