The Shaper is a smith of unparalleled skill, her creations the most sought after in the fallen world. When a pony named Lyra comes to her with a unique commission she has to put all her skill to the test to craft a weapon of great power. For Lyra's goal is not an easy one, and it is not just any weapon that can kill a Dragon.

A story inspired by this and this image, as well as this challenge by CDRW (whose fic A Still More Glorious Dawn Awaits is quite good).

Lyra Heartstrings has always known that humans exist, even if none of the other ponies in her life have ever appreciated that fact. But aside from a few enigmatic ancient prophecies and a popular fantasy series, there haven't ever really been any authoritative sources on what humans were really like. Years of discouragement begin to take their toll on Lyra's faith in the strange and wondrous beings with their strange limbs and ways of sitting.

Until one day, when Lyra finds a strange device on the ground outside Ponyville, and it starts talking to her with short messages printed on its tiny screen. So instead of search for the device's proper owner, Lyra takes it home, hoping for the chance to talk to a real human.

Takes place ostensibly in the universe of My Little Apprentice, though very little connection with that story is expected. Familiarity with that story and its sequel are neither expected nor required.

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Red Version

When Giovanni steals a time capsule and modifies it to take him back to a specific point in time, stealing a small portable storage system device called a Pass(that may or may not be used to travel to the MLP universe), it is up to Blue to find him and stop him from trying to capture the ponies and sell them for profit.

And when there's a chance to capture a legendary, it's win win. Plus, Blue knows if he didn't join Red to travel back in time, he would miss out on the chance to get his own rare pony Pokemon. (That Red managed to get one of but he didn't)

That...And Giovanni has stolen all the badges that belonged to Blue's gym.

Again...

Blue is planning on getting a Pokemon-proof safe once this is all over.
