Sweet Apple Acres had always been filled with secrets, even during its inception almost a hundred years ago. Apple Bloom had heard the tales passed down to her from Granny Smith, but never thought anything of them. At least not before the screams near the barn began to ring out through the night. When the Cutie Mark Crusaders stay over at the farm for one weekend in autumn, old stories and legends begin to boil back up to the surface.

Applejack had always warned Apple Bloom to stay away from the barn at night.

After an ancient spell from Twilight goes awry, Fluttershy finds herself in a new world of powerful creatures. Whilst Fluttershy struggles in the new found world, Twilight is forced to leave Equestria to find the spell to bring her back. As Twilight and her friends journey through the outer lands of Equestria, Fluttershy attempts to uncover what shadows lurk just beyond Hoenn's sight.

Contains slightly dark images and scenarios. All events are based off of season one continuity, speculation and fantastical story elements. Any conflicting canon after season one is a result of the story being created before the premiere of season two.

Written to accommodate for people unfamiliar with both 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and 'Pokémon'.
