//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: A Blast of Rainbow and the Hospital // Story: Transform // by Rainbow Reshiram //------------------------------// It was a beautiful day in Unova. Reshiram was sitting on a grassy hill, enjoying the fresh air and the sights of her region of the Pokemon realm. Her long ponytails waved in the breeze. Suddenly, a burst of rainbow appeared and swept the land, knocking Reshiram off her feet. "What was that?" she questioned. She became very dizzy, and her vision went black. Meanwhile, a cyan Pegasus mare with a rainbow mane was soaring in the Equestrian sky, relishing her victory. Rainbow Dash has done it again: she has performed the Sonic Rainboom. She flew in the part of the sky that belonged to the town of Ponyville when she spotted something unusual on the ground. She decided to investigate. As she flew closer, Rainbow Dash saw what looked like, at first glance, a white Pegasus mare. Her mane was styled like Fluttershy's but streaked in black and white instead of being soft pink in color. Her Cutie Mark appeared to be a single black flame, dark as night. What scared Rainbow was the fact that the mare appeared to be unconscious, eyes closed and motionless. " Oh gosh! I can't just sit here and do nothing!" she exclaimed. She landed in front of the mare, wanting to help her in anyway possible if needed. "Are you okay?" Rainbow asked. Two words echoed in her mind when the mare didn't respond. "Oh no." A voice, feminine in origin, interrupted. "Need some help?" it asked, curious. Rainbow was startled by the voice, but she knew who it belonged to. She turned to her left to see a lavender Unicorn mare standing there. Her mane was a navy blue color with pink and violet streaks. Her Cutie Mark was a pink six-pointed star surrounded by white stars. "Twilight!" Rainbow exclaimed. Twilight Sparkle's horn flashed magenta, and she levitated the unconscious mare into the air. "We should probably take her to the hospital. She could be seriously hurt!" "Well, let's go!" Rainbow Dash urged. The two ponies then trotted their way to Ponyville's hospital, hoping this mysterious Pegasus mare was okay. "Do you think she'll be okay?" Rainbow asked. "She is breathing, so I'm sure she's just fine." Twilight replied, her voice cheery in tone in order to calm her Pegasus friend. It was then that the mare opened her bright blue eyes, as if awoken by the two ponies' conversation. She looked at the hospital bed in panic and asked in worry, "How in the world of Giratina did I get here?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow and asked skeptically, "What the heck is a Giratina?" Ignoring Rainbow Dash, Twilight explained to the mare in a soothing tone how they discovered her in an unfortunate state on the ground. The mare seemed to understand and calmed down. Nurse Redheart trotted into the room, informing Twilight that she may take the mare out of the hospital. As they walked out of the hospital, Twilight introduced herself and Rainbow Dash to their new acquaintance. "What's your name?" she asked once she was finished. "Oh, my name is Reshiram." the mare replied. "Well, nice to meet you, Reshiram!" Rainbow Dash said, soaring above them. Twilight, however, was surprised. The name Reshiram was familiar to her. But why? Did she read it in a book somewhere? If so, which one? Or did somepony mention a Reshiram in conversation? While Twilight was pondering this, Rainbow Dash had a brilliant idea! "I got it! You come with me, Reshiram, and I'll give you a tour of Ponyville! I'm SURE you're going to love it!" "Rainbow Dash, do you think you can make the library the last place you guys visit?" Twilight asked her exited friend, a glimmer of yearning for discovery and knowledge in her eyes. "Uh...OK!" the rainbow Pegasus agreed. "What for, though?" she added with a shrug. "Research." Twilight said. "But I didn't want my research to ruin your tour, so after you've seen everything else, come to the library, OK?. "Alright, egghead." Rainbow teased. Twilight trotted away to do her studying, rolling her eyes at the nickname Dash had given her. Rainbow Dash then led Reshiram into the little town of Ponyville. "C'mon, Reshiram. Our first stop is Sweet Apple Acres!"
