One day in the world of Pokémon, a mysterious aura pulse spreads across the skies of the Sinnoh Region. The professors have hypothesized that the aura pulse is a result of the legendries Dialga and Palkia, but what they haven't been able to figure out is just what has the aura pulse done.

That is, until someone finds themselves waking up to purple smoke dancing in his face.

With the help of the Professor and a certain young trainer from Hoenn, Spike decides to go into the world of Pokémon. To which he will go on an adventure in hopes to find some sign of the others. With a few new friends and a team of his own, will he pull it off?

(If you don't watch the show or even play the games that Pokémon is known for, don't worry. The story follows Spike's story a majority of the time. So even if you're new to how the show or game works then you'll be able to learn as Spike does.)

(Also, I'm not going to be revising this story all too much. I'll check for fixing grammar, punctuation and the such before posting them, but I'm not going to be too strict on much else. I just wanted to be the first to point it out.)

Greed, Lust, Wrath, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, and Sloth, the seven dragon's sins that Spike has to hold tight inside the back of his mind each day of his life in order to grow up as the best and most reliable dragon this world could have.

Unfortunately for him, his own expertise at keeping those sins at bay make it impossible for his friends to notice his daily struggles. That is until the day Rainbow Dash teased the dragon enough to pop a genius idea into the chaotic mind of Discord.

Note: Thanks to B_25 for his suggestions. I hope to improve my "showing" skills as the times goes on

It has been one year since Starlight Glimmer graduated and ventured out on her own to teach others the friendship lessons she learned as Princess Twilight's personal student. Now, unexpectedly, she's coming back to Ponyville for a visit, and everypony is excited about it. Well, everypony that is, except Spike. But why?

Every year, Spike and Starlight Glimmer celebrate the anniversary of the day they had first gone on an adventure together. The day their unbreakable bond of friendship formed.

Tonight is no different.

This story is a sequel to Shadowbolts Adventures: Let It Snow

School. The first frontier.
These are the adventures of the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts.
On their 12-year mission to learn new things and grow up.
To boldly go where everybody has gone before.

This is the rest of the story that began way back in 2015 with "Music To Our Ears", as the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts live their day to day lives, occasionally embarking on exceptional adventures and journeys, and always learning how to not be terrible people. They're joined by their friends the Wondercolts and Dazzlings, who have their own problems and issues to deal with, such as rogue magic powers and the end of a millennium of existence.

This story is an ongoing "Webcomic" style story. It will be updated on a daily basis with much shorter chapters 5 days a week Monday-Friday (unless I get far enough ahead for the occasional weekend updates). However, don't worry about getting confused about what's going on at any given time. If you wish to relive old adventures or keep track of specific storylines, what story each chapter belongs to will be clearly marked for reader convenience.

I hope you'll join me for this ride and enjoy it as much as I have been and will continue to.

Lightning Dust lost her dreams and struggled in the world outside the academy until she happened to come across a small town, of which could’ve been more trouble than it was worth. However, she was determined to do whatever it would take to rejoin the ranks of the Wonderbolts, even if living in Ponyville among the crazy citizens and bearing the anger from her old rival were part of it.

Follow her experiences as she endures the eccentric locals, tries to keep herself fed, and interacts with unexpected souls who enter her life and help her remember things she had forgotten as a filly.

Rainbow meets Fluttershy's cousin and her friends only to find she knows them all already.
And one of them isn't very happy to see her.
Lightning Dust has given up on anything hopeful and although her brother and friends try to help her she doesn't think that there truly is a thing as True Happiness...

To preserve her shot at joining the Wonderbolts, Lightning Dust must explain her actions to Spitfire. While recklessness has no place in Spitfire's squad, but maybe second chances do.

"I was not a fool to dream... I was a fool to believe it would lead me to paradise."

A tale of two dreamers: a dream reached, and a dream lost. One will learn that dreams aren't always what they imagined. The other, that a dream unreached may not be a dream lost.

Assisted by: Rumble, Typoglyphic.

Rainbow Dash was always concentrated on getting better, faster, more agile. She never had time for stallions or mares, and both mind and body complied.

But you can't help who you fall in love with. It was just unfortunate for her that the other pony had to be Lightning Dust, and their friendship would shortly thereafter be forever severed.
