Once upon a time, in a story we all know and love. There was a unicorn, who shined as bright as the sun, she was a prodigy in magic and Princess Celestia’s prized pupil. One day, she was sent to Ponyville and met her best friends: Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy. She and her friends were able to defeat any foe that came their way, and spread friendship and harmony throughout Equestria... that is, until Opaline Arcana came, she wanted power, all of it, she even stole the dragon magic, and became a Fire Alicorn. Twilight knew she wouldn’t be able to stop her, so instead, she put Ponykind’s magic into three gems, and put an invisi-bubble around Equestria, so that the evil Alicorn could never harm them again, but the seeds she had planted started growing until each of the three tribes took their gem and separated. Until an earth pony, Sunny Starscout reunited Equestria with Izzy Moonbow, Pipp Petals, Zipp Storm, and Hitch Trailblazer in one MASSIVE quest. Together, they created new magic and defeated the alicorn that even Twilight couldn’t beat.

But I’m trailing off, aren’t I? Ahem, you know that story, obviously, but I wanna show you a story, where Twilight Sparkle, Sunny Starscout, and their friends existed simultaneously.

"There are twelve Elements of Harmony, but only eleven are known so far." Twilight read as she flipped to the next page. "Honesty, Selflessness, Kindness, Empathy, Laughter, Creativity, Generosity, Confidence, Loyalty, Courage, and Hope, the twelfth is a total mystery..."

Flash Sentry's first try as a trainer was marred by mistakes and ended in tragedy. After a time of coming to terms with this, at least to the point he's ready to try again, this young man enrolled in Uva Academy with the ultimate goal of one day meeting an old friend on even footing.

Spike Armor is just now old enough to truly enter the world of pokemon with hopes of one day beating his champion older brother. A goal just as important to him is finding out why his sister had to move to Sinnoh for the last 18 months.

Even though she's back now, no one in his family is telling him anything. He does know the answers lie with Team Star, but he is unaware of how his sister connects to them. As such, to meet both goals, he has enrolled in Uva Academy.

Now, two trainers shall cross paths as they embark on a journey across Paldea. Between gyms, Team Star, and Titians, there is more than enough adventure to be had. Especially when they happen upon two peculiar pokemon not long into the start of their journey.

Flash Sentry has come to accept that in a world now full of magic, someone like him is nothing more than a side character despite how much they want to help. He's sent to live a life of boring mediocrity, until one unexpectedly strange day. From out of nowhere, a pod comes crashing down to earth. And inside is a device that will change Flash's life forever. The Omnitrix.
