Twilight walked through the dirt path from Serene Village with Spike riding on her back. She levitated the town map to her face, trying to find the town's library. She scanned the map, searching an image of a library and the label under it. She smiled once she found what she was looking for and started to head towards her destination.
"Uh, Twilight? Where are we going?" Asked Spike.
"We're going to the Serene Village Pokemon Library, Spike." She replied as she levitated her town map into her new bag that she received from the mayor.
Spike groaned at this. Of course they were going to the library. When it came to new information of a place or subject, she cannot turn it away and must learn everything about it. Spike looked at the excited pony and sighed at this, he knew he would be in there for hours. Something, the baby dragon wasn't looking forward to. He just wanted to explore the town and see what it has to offer.
"I should of known you would go there. Can't we just explore the town first?" Spike begged with hope. The lavender princess rolled her eyes and kept walking towards her destination.
"But Spike, Don't you want to learn about their culture, what they do? Or even the types they had mentioned?!" Twilight asked with pleading eyes. Spike just groaned at this. Twilight noticed this and sighed, she couldn't keep him in there for hours. She also noticed that he looked very annoyed at the idea.
"Tell you what Spike, since you have been a very good dragon lately. I'll let you go see the town, while I go study more about Pokemon?" She decided.
"Really?! You mean it?!" Asked Spike, pretty excited to see this place for himself.
Twilight giggled and nodded, and just like that; Spike hopped off of Twilight's back and sprinted off to whatever destination Spike was headed. Twilight giggled and shook her head, the dragon never ceased to amaze her. She turned her head and noticed that she arrived at the library. It was a tall yellowish orange building with a red roof. Twilight entered the library and noticed it was books everywhere. The interior was also a blue color and the books were neatly shelved in alphabetical order. She looked at the librarian who was an Metang. The Metang smiled and walked up to the princess of friendship.
"Hello, welcome to the Pokemon Library."
Applejack trotted through the apple forest, admiring the delicious apples that hung from the tree. She smiled and walked up to one of them, inspecting it. She took a sniff and poked it a few times to see if is some of kind of apple Pokemon. Satisfied with her results, she took a bite and her eyes immediately went wide eyed. The taste of the apple was much sweeter than the apples from Sweet Apple Acres, but she'll never admit that. Granny Smith would bop her one good just for uttering those words right out of her mouth.
"Woo Wee! These apples are sure mighty delicious!" Applejack commented. She looked around and noticed some different apples. Some apple was about as big as her head and the other apples were about the size as her brother, Big Macintosh. Applejack's eyes widen even more about the size of the apples. She shook her head and continued walking, deciding to go back to the big apples later.
"Wow. Them apples are HUGE!! Now, all ah need is to find me a perfect tree to buck me some apples." She grinned as she begins her search. Little did she know she was being watched. Three Beedrill were in the trees, glaring at the intruder. The three Beedrill nodded to each other and headed towards the orange mare, ready to give her a lesson.
The apple mare smiled and kept walking down the pathway in the forest. She had a distinct feeling she was being followed. Little did she know, her suspicions were correct. Suddenly, the gang of Beedrill blocked the apple farmer's path. Applejack looked at the three Pokemon in confusion and glared at them for a bit. Something didn't feel right with them and this whole situation, Applejack prepared herself for the worse.
"Well...You're an odd creature? What kind of Pokemon are you?" Asked the middle Beedrill which she assumed is the leader. He was green colored, while his lackeys were yellow. That confused the element of honesty.
'Why do they have different colors? That's weird. Must be ah Pokemon thing.' She thought.
"Hey! I'm talking to you, ya weird deformed Ponyta thing." The Beedrill insulted.
"Mah name is Applejack, and I am pony! Didn't y'all hear the news about us movin' in?" She asked with a hint of irritation in her voice. The Beedrill growled at this and then begin to smirk, the other Beedrill begin to circle around her like a Sharpedo ready to attack their prey.
"Well I'm Sting! And this is Needle and Toxic! And we're the Beedrill Stingers! We own this place and this is our turf! But see you are new here. I'll give you a headstart!" Sting grinned. Toxic and Needle giggled grimly with the lead Beedrill. Applejack began to chuckle and looked up to the shiny Pokemon gave him a grin.
"Better yet! I'll do this!" She said as she reared her hind legs and gave a powerful buck to Toxic who was right behind her. She heard a satisfying thud and a groaned of pain. Using this as her chance, she sprinted further down the dirt path of the forest.
"AFTER HER!!" Sting commanded as he and his lackeys chased after the running mare, after Toxic recovered from the blow of course.
Rainbow Dash walked through the town and sighed. She looked through job to job, but couldn't find one that said "her". Scootaloo had gone with her friends doing Celestia knows what. She sighed and shook her head, those three are probably causing some harmless trouble as she speak. However, it didn't cheer her up. The prismatic mare was still down that her chances of becoming a wonderbolt were pretty slim and it was all that tree's fault.
"Ugh! Stupid Tree! Blowing up my home like that! What the buck!" Rainbow cursed. She gazed at the ponies and Pokemon is enjoying each others company. It was crazy for her, they find the last key; which Discord had all along. They defeat Tirek and the world decided to blow up on them. This Arceus guy saved them all and brought them all into this world. Such a lot has happened lately, and it is not like she hated the place. She just misses her dreams---and her home.
"Ugh... What now?"
"You could always work in the union?" Suggested a disembodied voice. She looked around, searching for the source pf the voice.
"Over here" The voice called. She looked to her left and saw a shiny Gallade with an teal tattered scarf around his neck eating ramen at the Slowbro Ramen Stand. She walked up to the Pokemon and sat on one of the pink stools and looked at the Gallade while he ate his food.
"You talking to me?" Asked Rainbow Dash.
The Gallade finished his ramen and nodded. He cleaned his mouth with a napkin and looked at the pony "Yup. The names Gene. Gene of Team Raiders and I was thinking maybe you should start a rescue team in the Adventure Union." He suggested.
Rainbow Dash was confused at this, Adventure Union and Rescue Team. Just what in the world of Pokemon is he talking about?
"I'm Rainbow Dash. And rescue team? Union? What do you mean?" Asked the prismatic mare.
Gene chuckled and begin his explanation. "There are seven groups of rescuers and explorers in the Pokemon World. Some even hold some of the most illustrious Pokemon Rescue or Treasure Hunting teams in the whole world. Did you happened to see the town's statue, today?" He asked.
She thought back and distinctively remembered a statue in the middle of the town. It had some kind of weird creatures on it, one of those creatures resembled a dragon.
"Yeah, it looked cool. Who were those guys anyway?" She asked.
"They're known as Team A.C.T.. They're one of the most famous rescuers in Pokemon history. About 12 years ago, this village was under attack by the legendary Groudon. Luckily, Stein, Delta and Susanoo; Members of Team A.C.T. stop the threat and saved our village. The residents then made a statue to honor their bravery and heroism." Gene finished.
"What I'm trying to say is that in rescue missions you get to help Pokemon in need and become known. In exploration missions you find wonderful treasure and places that most don't know about."
She awed at the explanation of this. She could be just like Daring Do. Going on dangerous missions, retrieving mysterious artifacts and fighting strong Pokemon. The whole thing just sounded awesome.
"That. is. AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed.
Gene chuckled and shook his head and walked out of the ramen stand, not before paying for his meal. He sat his change onto the counter for the Slowbro to come pick it up. He smiled to the pony and walked down the dirt path up ahead.
"Well. I was gonna go home and meet up with my fiancee. But, I guess I could show you the Adventure Union and what they do. Trust me, You'll love the place." He grinned. The pony grinned as well and followed the Gallade to her desired destination.
"Next stop. The Adventure Union." Gene said.
Fluttershy was currently moving the new furniture around in her new home. The home she had found was on top of hill that loomed over the village. Fluttershy is introverted and prefered to be away, but not far away from the rest of the civilians. Plus the forest that was close to her house reminded her of the Everfree Forest. Fluttershy wasn't the only one who was moving her new stuff around. An Ursaring she had met in the village decided to help out. He reminded her of Harry, her bear friend. Only he can talk and is pretty sentient. And has a wife. Ok, so maybe not exactly like Harry. She smiled at the Ursaring and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Thank you for moving my things around for my new home, Mr. Oberon." She thanked.
Oberon chuckled and patted Fluttershy's head, to which she giggled.
"No problem at all, Fluttershy. I am happy to help. I heard what happened to your home planet and I felt really bad. So I decided to help out. My wife is also helping out other ponies too. I can assure you that, Serene Village is a great place to be. Not like that busy city, Treasure City. Those places are filled with crappy Pokemon." Oberon rambled on. Fluttershy giggled once again when she heard him saying about his son wanting to live there.
'Kids can be a hoofful, trust me. I know.' Fluttershy commented in her head. Remembering her time watching the cutie mark crusaders.
Applejack ran as fast as her hooves could carry her, but the Beedrill was gaining on her. She grunted and ran faster, but stopped at a dead end, which was a tree filled with golden apples. Applejack was amazed by the color and the look of the dazzling apples. She would have taken a bite of one if she wasn't being chased by those pesky Pokemon.
"Poison Sting!" Sting shouted out as he shot out a poison needle out of his mouth. Applejack barely had enough time to dodge the attack, unfortunately it hit her leg and she fell down with a thud. Suddenly, her hind leg started to become purple and felt numb.
"M-Mah leg?..Wh-What did ya do to me?!" Demanded the apple farmer with a glare. Fear a bit evident in her eyes.
The three Beedrill laughed at the pained element of honesty and hovered over her watching her groaning and fading in and out of consciousness.
"It's Poison Sting. It's an attack that has a 30% chance of poisoning any target." Sting informed with a sick chuckle.
"Hahaha! That's for hitting me, ya stupid Ponyta!" Toxic commented with a grin.
Applejack growled at the damn Beedrill who are now pointing their spear like stingers towards her. She winced in pain and closed her eyes waiting for the impact. There was no way she could defend herself now.
'Is this it for me?' She wondered. Just arriving at a new home and is already in danger by some unknown Pokemon.
"It's over pony! Ready Boys?! TRIPLE POISON JAB!!!" Sting shouted out as the gang of Beedrill charged towards the pained pony. She had her eyes closed, ready for the impact to come.
"FLAMETHROWER!!" A voice shouted out as a blast of fire came and impacted the gang of Beedrill. Sting growled as an arrival of an Arcanine appeared in front of the pony. Applejack looked at the Pokemon and noticed he had a black ranger hat and a badge with "Ranger of Apple Forest" engraved into it. He glared at the three Beedrill who only coward in fear, well only two of them except for Sting who just growled at the Arcanine.
"You again?!" Sting exclaimed.
"I thought I told you buzzing buggy bastards to stay out of the forest? Don't you know you're trespassing private property? Not to mention hurting an innocent pony?! " He asked, growling at the Beedrill.
Applejack summoned some of her remaining strength and stood up wobbly, must of been the effects of the poison sting. She glared at the Beedrill for attacking her just for being here. She then looked at the Arcanine, which she assumed is the ranger of the forest. She knew how he felt about unwelcoming poachers on her farm.
"P-Pardon me, sir? But who are ya?" Asked the apple mare.
The Arcanine looked at her for a brief second and then moved his eyes to her purple leg. He shook his head and glared harder at the three Beedrill.
"You should just sit down and relax. Don't move too much. And my name? The name is Amaterasu and I'm the ranger of this forest." He introduced.
oooo. Still, work on your english skills. You need more periods.
nice job choise, i suppose you forgot the word "hurt", did you?
Nice Job idea for Rainbow as well, but as usual i am a bit wary if something involves Rainbow Dash, and a romance, this is something this is usually something, that happens the way i don´t like it, but after a second thought, i think i like this as well.
ahhh i am still not sure if i really know him, but maybe i liked his character, but the story was something i didn´t liked. However, i hope if something should happen between them, it is not the usual, Rainbow is a wild Pony, that means nor other kind of love is possible for her, than the wild kind.
I mean this is somehow a cliché about her romance, but that makes all the other storys, in which Rainbow is acting different in a relationship (in private or not), so much better.
naaaahhhh, i can´t deny i still hope for my favourite Pokemon, but then again, if this should mean a romance (if), it could be nice as well. I guess since i had a Luxray once, and since i was one in Pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky, i took a great liking on them.
Nice chapter, i hope if they start their new life, or if some start a romance, that we can get a few long, and nice chapters with every pairing alone. I mean the same day, but one nice chapter about the day, but with a different POV, i guess this could help to like them if you should have to make it short again later. Don´t get me wrong, i just expect that with so many characters, that nor everyone can get the attention they may need sometimes.
Still waiting for Keldeo. I hope he comes up soon.
5827663
1. ) Thank you. I went ahead and fixed it. And thank you for liking the job choices. I chose rescue team for Rainbow Dash because I want her to start acting like one of her great heroes. Daring Do.
2.) Zeusdemigod131 is a great friend of mine. You should go ahead and check out his story "A New World, A New Way" It's basically this story but reverse. Don't worry, Gene is already committed to someone else. So no Rainbow Dash x Gene
3.) Shhhhhhh....
5827755 To be honest i had to think about Rainbow Dash, and being like Daring Doo right away, at least after i thought about her finding probably treasures or something.
I searched for it, and to be honest i believe it was another story in the same universe that i didn´t liked, but right now i suppose the partner of Gene is Belle or someting? I think i had at least read it´s name at least.
I guess if i should have read the other very, very, very large and big story, and all the others i like to read befor it, then i give it a chance as well.
While your story is a bit different, and free from any prejudices, since i don´t know any, i like it a bit more than those storys.
Some of them have something weird about them.
Lol reference.
I'm interested in Rainbow Dash forming a Rescue Team, and who will be on it I wonder?
also what did humanity do this time?
Gallade named Gene...
i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/000/681/what-you-did-there-i-see-it.thumbnail.jpg
5833516 I see it too, as well as the Beedrill named Sting (If we are talking about the same thing then you will understand)
Good ol treasure town! Explorers of sky is my absolute favorite game, I do hope to see some of the recruits
5829029 Fucked shit up? Like always?
5845119 yes but how?
5845196 War, greed, and all other sins humans commit? We have Greed, sloth, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy and pride. All bad stuff they bring. Also, internet trolls, pokéballs and weapons, pokemon abuse... and so forth.
5845207 so humanity in a nutshell then?
5845207
I think what he means is what happened to the humans. Are they still around? Cause this is starting to feel more like the mystery dungeon world, especially since some of those towns used to have humans living in them.
5845827
I didn't want to spoil much. But the humans will appear soon. I know I said that they do not exist. But they'll find a way into the world of Pokemon.
As for what happened to them. The war between Pokemon and Humans or Pokemon would like to call it PGR (Pokemon Great Rebellion) that happened 2000 years ago(After the events of OR and AS). Most of the humans died out or were K.I.A in the war, along with most of the Pokemon. But since Pokemon can reproduce faster than humans, their lost was not in vain. Arceus finally noticed that the humans were far too dangerous and banished the remaining humans into an unknown world where there are no Pokemon.
The humans there lived their lives and begin to increase their population and the Pokemon begin to take over the world(even though it was theirs in the first place) and rebuild the world in their own images.
Cities began to look more Pokemon like and were renamed. Villages and towns were built. Pokeballs and other capturing devices were destroyed by the Pokemon.
5845827
5845545
What caused the Rebellion?
The usual.
Humans became greedy(The organizations such as: Team Rocket, Plasma, Magma,Aqua,Flare and Galactic)
Humans became abusive(Physically abuse and sexual abuse: This mostly happened to Lopunny, Gardevoir, Lilligant, Gothitelle, Delphox, Braixen, Weavile and surprisingly Jynx)
Humans would sell Pokemon for money or emotionally destroy(Belittling them or call them worthless. Leaving them out to die)
Some humans oppose to this and went to help the Pokemon. But Mewtwo and Arceus couldn't chance it and banished the remaining ones to the unknown world.
5845920
....wow, and people think Zeus' version of Arceus was harsh
5846235
Yes. Sorry if it's a bit crappy at first.
5845920
So let me get this straight. 2K years ago, the Pokemon rebeled (Sev, the PLA, and the old PLA burning in hell do a happy dance). Naturally, most humans weren't too happy about that, but some humans, choosing their friends over their own species, sided with the Pokemon, no doubt alienating themselves from their own kind who probably branded them traitors in the process. Yet when all is said and done, and Pokemon stand victorious, Arceus and the legendaries...decide to banish them along with the other humans. Them who basically sacrificed any future they might have had with their own kind...congrats, Zeus' Arceus has nothing on yours. At least Zeus' Arceus AT LEAST turned humans into Pokemon
5845920
And I wonder how the surviving Pokemon who's trainers sided with them (looks at main characters and good humans from games and anime) felt about it. I bet they weren't too happy about that.
5846312
... You know what? I'm just gonna take that compliment and agree with you.
5846329
I'm hoping the rebellion takes place decades after the period your games and shows are based in, as several of my legendaries are close friends with some humans... I half think Reshiram has a crush on N, and I know Brendan and Rayquaza have what you refer to as a 'bromance'. Not to mention Ash... he saved the world with Lugia, and saved Mewtwo... I must say I greatly respect the boy for all he's done.
5847019
It does. But you know out of fear of what not. It was Mewtwo's idea to banish them and Arceus reluctantly agreed. I know it may seem dark or evil. (May have to add the gore tag sometime later.)
Also, the humans will come back. Later on in the story. I don't want to spoil much but it does involve Lyra. And she'll have her own arc.
Original idea was that the surviving humans didn't get banished and they are living in a small village away from pokemon civilization.
5846312 Don't worry. Everything will be explained soon. I promise
5847695
Well if the humans come back, assuming that they never forgave the Pokemon (especially the ones who sided with the Pokemon) for what happened to them...somehow I'm expecting to see humans with either stuff like our world, or Monster Hunter-esque weapons
I like the story so far keep up the good work oh and idea you know how the ponies break out in song make them sing and make the ponies go on with there day like nothing happened and get the pokemon reactions hehe
5857891
It'll happen trust me.
Great chapter!
You have problems with using past or present text improperly.
I wanna hear more about Fluttershy going around and meeting all the Pokemon species.
One other thing.... 'Wigglytuff Guild' that makes me laugh every time! Great story!
I am somewhat disappointed that Mew hasn't made an apperance, s/he is a pretty big deal in pokem8n lore.
A New World, A New Way narrator and protagonist.
A mystery dungeon crossover too?
You sure know your references
I'm impressed
-CactusMan
OMG a LUXRAY the final form of one of my favourite Shino pokémon SHINX
Where did the luxray come from? You only mentioned an arcanine showing up.
6919311
It was something previous. I was changing my story and I forgot about the luxray part. Thank you for telling me.
... Did you just reference marriland?
You sneaky ratbag (no insult) That Refrence, It is even bigger cause its a wolf-like pokemon and can produce flames. That is a easy refrence you made there.
