//------------------------------// // Prologue: The Amulets // Story: Journey through Alola // by darkmage1997 //------------------------------// It had been a few days since Team Rocket was ousted from Will's Ranch, located on the outskirts of Ponyville. After thinking about the battle he had against three trainers, Will decided it was time for him to come out of retirement. He was steadily packing his bag with clothes, medicine, food supplies, and other useful items, "Let's see, Pokeballs? Check! Revives? Check! Full Restores? Check!" he continued to pack his bag until he thought he had everything he needed, "Wonder what kind of Pokémon Alola has to offer?" Will thought to himself. Just then, his doorbell rang. Answering the door, he saw all his new friends, eager to head out on a journey, "Hey guys, c'mon in," Will said, inviting his friend inside, "Now then, before Discord shows up, lets go over where everyone is going," Will suggested. "Mah group will be heading to Sinnoh, figure there would be some agriculture there," Applejack said. "I'm going to Kanto. From what you told me, this 'Elite Four' should be a real challenge," Rainbow Dash said. "I'm going to the Kalos region to look at boutiques," Rarity said. "Plus, from what ya said, Kalos is similar to Europe," Nathan said. "I'm going to the Hoenn region! The contests you told me about sound like fun!" Pinkie Pie said. "The Johto Region is bound to have tons of historical monuments, not just this Ecruteak City," Twilight said. "Luna and I will go to the Unova Region. It would be nice to get out of that castle," Celestia said. "And I'm going to the Alola region with Fluttershy, Toby, Serenity, and Silver Spoon. By the way, Silver Spoon, I spoke to your mother, she said it was alright, as long as its safe," Will said. "Yeah, Mom already told me to keep with the group," Silver Spoon said. "Ok, before I forget, does everyone remember their alias'?" Will asked. They all nodded. Just then, Discord appeared. "Alright, is everyone here? Good," Discord said, giving an amulet to each of them, "These amulets will instantly transport you to the towns or cities where that regions professor lives in. What's more, the amulets will be able to transport you back to Equestria the exact moment you left, so none of the children will miss school, or Celestia and her fellow Princess won't miss any meetings," Discord explained. "That's real handy Discord, thanks a bunch!" Will said. "But, how do they work?" Mike asked. "Simply rub the amulets, and they'll take you to your desired region. One other thing, before I forget, DO NOT LOOSE THEM!" Discord said seriously. "Items such as these would go in the Key Items Pocket in our bags," Will said. "Well, in any case, good luck on your journeys" Discord said, teleporting away. "Well guys, once we're there, we can start our adventure, are you ready?" Will asked. A wave of nods answered his question, "Alright, see you guys later," Will said, as he grabbed his bag, rubbed his amulet, and teleported to the Alola region.
