//------------------------------// // Filler: Ponyville Now! // Story: Pokémon of harmony // by Firefoxino //------------------------------// “...And so from my studies and researches I can conclude that rock type pokémon are not very territorial, but they hold a major hate towards water.” I dictated to Spike. “...Water… All done!” He said happily. “Wonderful Spike bring that in the same place.” I asked to him. “Will do Twily.” He dutily said and went off. A week passed after Anne and Thomas left Ponyville, by now many ponies started to get used to the presence of pokémon, no only that but I saw some foals actually playing with them in the streets. The CMC more than others, they are trying a Pokémon Master cutie mark, I only hope they don’t get themselves in big troubles this time. I left the library and went to quill and sofas to get some more ink for my research, I used quite a lot of scrolls and ink for my documentation after all. I happily waved a few ponies and I was quite happy with seeing some Pokémon running around. I saw Lyra and Bon Bon in the park while I passed and Lyra was trying to convince Bon Bon to take a pokémon with them. Bon Bon wasn’t convinced. The CMC passed down the road while chasing some bird pokémon, a strange one for sure, it had two heads and couldn’t fly. But it could surely run well. When I reached the store I entered and ordered my ink, on one of the couches though I found a little fox like Pokémon with six tails and red fur. I immediately teleported a scroll and an inkwell and started to take a sketch of it. The Pokémon didn’t react in any way to me and lazily yawned before going back to sleep. “Ah I see you encountered Lala.” The owner, Davenport said startling me. “Lala?” I asked. “Yes, I found her on the front of my door one morning, she was wet and hurt so I took her in. In no time me and her became friends and now she remain here at the store happily testing my sofas.” He explained while registering my items. “This will be two bits.” He said, I obliged and exited eager to return back to the library. ‘Wonderful! Ponies are already friends with the Pokémon, they are not so different from a pet now that I think of it? Wonders if I can have one as well…’ “AAAH Ghosts!” The voice of Spike startled me, I broke off into a run and hastily entered the library. “What ghosts?” I asked looking around, from the upper level there was a strange blue light, I immediately went up to check that up and found Spike trying to take some books which were floating in mid air. “Twilight! Do something, ghosts are stealing the books!” He shouted. I lit my horn and grabbed the book away from the air and reshelved them. “What happened?” I asked Spike. “When you went out the books started to float around.” Spike replied with worry. “Is the library infested!?” “Ghosts don’t-” I stopped myself. Ghosts existed. Ghost type Pokémon at least. “Hmmm” I hummed. “Let me check something.” I lit my horn again and took all the books away from the shelves, there right behind them I found the culprit of this mayhem. A little bluish creature with some kind of hair with a red tip onto them, it had a necklace made out of different gems and if the sheepish smile it was making was of any indication it didn’t think I could find it. “There you are little troublemaker.” I said eyeng it. “Now, what are you?” I asked to myself. The pokémon cooed and floated in front of me making strange facial expressions at me. “What are you doing?” I asked tilting my head. “Also why were you making my books float?” The Pokémon floated back to one of the books and opened it in front of it, it then started to make noises as if it was reading under its breath then closed it and put it back. “You were reading?!” I exclaimed surprised from this situation. The Pokémon nodded and floated back in front of me. “Oh my Celestia this is incredible, and can you talk?” I asked hopefully. The Pokémon shook its head with a sad noise. “Aww, that’s too bad.” I said with a frown. “Nevermind that, do you have a name? Or better what gender are you?” I asked curious sitting down. “Ehm, I will just, you know, go down and prepare some tea.” Spike said awkwardly. “Oh! Thank you Spike.” I said forgetting he was there and smiled at him with a small blush. “Do you want some too?” I asked the little Pokémon, it nodded so Spike went down to make some for it too. “So about your gender?” I asked. The Pokémon started to look around trying to find something, it finally found what it was searching. A pink book with the illustration of a good looking mare on it. It pointed to it insistently while making the same sound every time. “You are a female?” I deduced. She nodded happily and floated around seemingly dancing. “How about a name?” I asked her. She stopped immediately and looked at me a bit sadly. “No name?” She shook her head. “Aww that’s so sad.” I said and went to hug her, I then realized I couldn’t hug a ghost but before I could stop myself I still tried. And I succeeded somehow. She was cool to the touch but soft like a normal pony would, it was nice. “Fascinating, I can touch you.” I said surprised, “You are also very soft.” I continued making her blush a little. “How about this I will give you a name.” I said. She cheered up immediately and nodded happily. “Hmm how about Twinkle?” She immediately frowned at me. “Ok, ok sheesh.” I said putting my hooves in front of me. “Then how about Starglitter?” I tried, again a frown. “You are impossible.” I said flatly. I out an hoof on my chin and ravaged my brain to come up with a good name for her. “How about…”
