//------------------------------// // Applebucking // Story: MLP: FIM MewTwo Edition // by Norwegian boy //------------------------------// It’s another day in crazy town, I was walking towards the marked to by grocery when the whole ground started to shake. “STAMPEDE.” I looked up and saw the pony know as Rainbow Dash pointing at something and it was cows, cows that was heading for the town. I look around to see if anyone was going to do something, no. Every pony was ruing around like it was the end of the world, not evert pony. Pinkie was enjoying the whole thing, what’s wrong with that pony? I look back the cows who was getting closer and closer, I don’t like this town, but I wasn’t going to it be destroyed by cows, flew towards them. When I was not far from them I landed in front of them, I push out my arm, so my palms was facing them. “I hope this works, barrier.” I familiar wall appeared and then I spread my arms hoping it would expand it did, and the cows ran straight into it, they were knock out. I put my arms down and flew back. Once I got back every pony gave me look. “What?” Then Mayor came up to me. “Mewtwo, did you just save us?” “Yes, considering none one ells would do it, you were running around like headless chickens.” Maybe not the words to use, considering they became a little angry. “If you will excuse me, I have groceries to buy.” I walk past her and head towards the marked. Once I got there I notice that a pony was following me. “Is there something you want Twilight Sparkle?” I ask her when I stop, I didn’t turn around. “Just what are you?” I turned around. “That spell you use, I have never seen it before and also, you are an earth pony and they can’t use magic. That means you were something ells before you become a pony.” I could see that she was pretty proud of herself. I just stare at her, I wasn’t impressed that she managed to figure it out, I knew that someone managed to do it eventually. “Is that all?” I ask her. Her eyes widen. “Is that all? That’s all you have to say?” I just nodded, then her eye started to twitch. “I don’t know what you are, but I am going to find out.” She then left. I just watch her go wondering if I should be worried, no. To be honest, I really don’t care if she find out, I am not worried. Time to buy grocery. It’s been one week since the whole stamp and nothing has happened, I was sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. Then I saw Apple Bloom walking towards me. “Hello MewTwo, I can see you are enjoying the nice weather.” She said as she stop by me. “That I am, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you been in school.” “Nope, the school is closed for now. We have a very long winter holiday.” I nodded. “If you say so.” I leaned me head back and closed my eyes, they didn’t stay shut for long, Apple Bloom was still here, and she had a worried face. “Is there something I can help you with?” “It’s my sister, Applejack. It’s apple buck season and she going to do it all herself while helping other ponies in town, she has taken on more than she can handle, and I was hoping that you could help her.” If Apple Bloom had said the world ‘apple buck’ around teen days ago I would say she was crazy but not now. “I don’t know Apple Bloom your sister doesn’t like me that much. What about that big red stallion that lives with you, can’t he help?” “That’s my big brother, Big Macintosh but he hurt his back a couple of days ago and the doctor told him not to use his back for at last three weeks. Please, I don’t know who ells I can ask for help. I’m afraid that she might work herself to dead.” She then started to cry and the broke my heart, she must really care about her sister if she is asking me. I let out a defatting sighed. “Fine, I’ll talk to her.” I told her while getting up. That made Apple Bloom very happy, she gave him a hug. “Thank you MewTwo.” I wonder how this will end. When I arrived at the farm I was amazed by all that apple trees they had and the question was, how the hell am I going to find her? I couldn’t see her when I arrived, I guess I have to use the technique that I learned from Lucario. I place my hand on the ground and focus my aura, I send out a pulse and the first thing I saw was two in the house which I am guessing one of them is Apple Bloom’s brother, I had no idea who the other was. then I found Applejack, she wasn’t that far from the house. I took off and flew in the direction where she was. Once I spotted her, I saw her kicking a tree with her leg, she then went to kick two more and she looked tired. I could see that she fell asleep for a second, when she woke up again she tried to kick the same tree as before, she missed. She then kick on of the bucket that contained apples, she then fell asleep again. I landed I front of her. “Applejack.” She didn’t woke up, considering I was talking to her with telepathy. Then I got an idea, I candle some electricity into my forefinger om my right hand, then I touched her on her shoulder which made her yelp. “What the hay?” She started to rub her shoulder. “Who did that?” She then saw who it was, she wasn’t happy. “Oh great, it’s you, what do you want?” I could hear that she wasn’t happy to see me. “I am here because Apple Bloom asked me if I could help you and here I am.” She just gave me a blank look. “You’re kidding, right?” “I do not kidd, I am here to help.” That made her snort. “That won’t be necessary, I can do this by myself so just step aside and let me work.” I just did as she asked me. “I told you to step aside.” Did she just see double? “I just did.” She then look where I was ‘standing’ to where I was actually standing. “Right, thank you.” She then walk away, in sick sack. I have meet some stubborn Pokémon before, but Applejack has beaten them all. I just head home, I will try again tomorrow. After a good night sleep and some breakfast, I decided to head back to the farm to see if Applejack still working and if she was, I knew what to do. She needs helps whether she likes it or not, considering she send that colourful pony out for a trip yesterday. When I arrived at the farm, I found out where Applejack was, and she was still working. She was trying to kick a dead tree, time to end this. I walk over to her and grabbed her by the shoulders, so she was facing me. “What are you…” That was all I let her say. I looked into her eyes. “Hypnosis.” MewTwo’s eyes started to glow. “Why is your… eyes… glowing… and… why… do… I… feel… sleepy…?” She then fell asleep and I managed to catch in my arms when she fell to the ground, I then walk to her house. I used my power to opened the door and went in, once inside I could see that it was a normally house with a kitchen and a living room, I also saw some stairs that probably went up to the second floor. When I look into the living room I saw an elderly green pony sitting in a rocking chair, she gave me a curious look when she saw me. “Who are you and what have you done to my granddaughter?” I bowed, which a little difficult considering I had Applejack in my arms. “I apologize ma’am, I just put your granddaughter to sleep, if I hadn’t there would be a chance she would work herself to death.” I stood up. She then studied me and then she smiled. “About time somepony stop her, Applejack can be so stubborn sometimes. You can put her in her bed, it’s up the stairs and the first door to your right.” I nodded. “Understood.” I turned around and walk up the stairs. Granny Smith watch as the strange pony walk up to the second floor. “What a strange pony, I wonder if he want to help.” It didn’t take long before he came back down. “Is she in her bed?” She asked the pony, he nodded. “Good, she need a good rest. Now tell me, was it Apple Bloom who ask you to come here?” I nodded. “That is correct, she came to me yesterday because she was worried that Applejack would work herself to dead, so I came here to see what I could do.” I could see she was satisfied with my answer, considering she smiled. “Remind me to thank Apple Bloom for that but the apples still needs to be harvest.” “If you let me I would like to help.” She raised an eye brown. “Well, you look strong enough.” She then nodded. “Alright, you can help but I have one rule and that’s no magic, use your legs to get the apples down.” I bowed. “I understand. But, what about Applejack when she wakes up?” I was concerned that she didn’t want my help. “Let me worried about her, I will make sure that she helps you when she wakes up. By the way, how long will she be sleeping?” “I am not sure, two maybe three hours.” She nodded again. “Alright, you get to work, and I will talk to my stubborn granddaughter when she wakes up.” I bowed again and walk out the door. Once outside I walk to the place where I found Applejack, there I saw some basket lying under a tree which I guessed that was ready to fall, but how. I couldn’t use psychic to take the down so the only thing I can do is to kick the tree, this is going to hurt. I tried to kick it and it did hurt. “Son of bitch.” I sat down on the ground and started to rub my right leg, this was more difficult than I imagined. I stood up and I was wonder how I was going to do this, since I can’t left the apples down. Maybe I can use bulk up to increase my strength, I have nothing to lose. “Bulk up.” I could feel my muscle became stronger than before, I got ready once more and I kick the tree as hard as I could and I managed to kick half of the apples down, I was satisfied with that and it didn’t hurt this time. I got to work. Two hours after MewTwo put Applejack to sleep, she finally woke up. “Holly molly, what happened?” She sat up and notice that she was in her own bed. “How did I get here?” She asked no one in particular, then she remember what happened. “Mewtwo, he somehow managed to put me to sleep, how dare he.” She got up and ran out of her room. When Applejack came down to the first floor, she was about to head about but… “Where are you going?” That made Applejack stop dead in her track, she look towards the living room where Granny Smith was sitting in her rocking chair and she wasn’t happy. “Where am I going? I am going to hurt MewTwo for putting me to sleep and then I am going to finish my work.” Applejack told her granny. “No, you’re not now get your tail in here or I swear you are going to get it.” Those words made Applejack to let go of the handle, she then turned around and walk into the living room where granny was. “Now you listen here miss, I understand that you want to harvest every apple by yourself, it’s your pride as an Apple but it’s going to get you kill. Your father did the same thing when he was your age and it almost kill him.” Applejack’s eyes widen when she heard that, she didn’t know that. “Dad almost died at my age?” Granny nodded. “That’s right, your mother usually help him, but she was pregnant with your brother, so he decided to do it himself and that pride of him almost got him killed. He didn’t sleep, he didn’t eat, or drink and it almost killed him. Lucky for him your mother convince him to ask for help.” Granny got up from her rocking chair, she walk over to her granddaughter and placed a hand on her shoulder. “There’s nothing wrong to ask for help from others and right now you have a stallion outside that is willing to help you, put away that pride of yours and let him help you.” Applejack just look down on the floor, thinking. She didn’t know that her father almost kill himself over the same reason she was doing, harvesting the apples before winter. She barely knew them considering they died when she was young and Apple Bloom, dosen’t know them as she was just a young foal. Also, Granny was right if she keep this up it would kill her. She had to put away her pride as an Apple and ask for help. Applejack let out a heavy sighed. “Alright Granny, I will ask MewTwo for help.” That made Granny smile. “That’s good to hear. Now, I suggest you take it easy today and then help him tomorrow.” Applejack just nodded. “Good, now get out there and make sure he doesn’t use that weird power of his, he almost gave me a heart attack when he spoke into my mind.” Applejack couldn’t help but chuckle. “You aren’t going to die yet Granny, your too stubborn to do that.” Granny couldn’t help but chuckle herself. “Maybe your right about that. Now,” She pointed at the door. “move your tail and see that he does it right.” Applejack smiled. “Got it Granny.” She started to walk towards the door. “That grandchild of mine.” Granny just shook her head as she went back to her rocking chair and she fell asleep as soon as she sat down. Once Applejack was outside she decided to find MewTwo. ‘I can’t believe he is help me, of all ponies.’ As she walk towards the orphan she thought about something. ‘Why is he helping me? Our first meeting didn’t go so well.’ She could worried about it later. Applejack eventually found MewTwo, he was a same place where he had hypnotized her and when she saw him she couldn’t help but think that he look strong somehow. It look like he’s body had muscles for some reason, and it was weird, he look a little piny when they first meet, he didn’t have any muscles then. Applejack actually blushed. I kick another tree and as usual, only half of apples in the tree fell down. “Nice work, for someone who hasn’t done it before.” I look to my right and there stood Applejack. “Is that a compliment or an insult?” “That was compliment.” I nodded and went back to the tree and kick it again making the rest of apples fall into the baskets, not all of them, some of the landed on the grass. I was about to picket them up. “Thanks, by the way.” I stop and look at here again, I didn’t expect to hear that. “Thanks, for putting me to sleep I need that.” I just stared at her, no sure what to say after that, I guess I have to be nice. “Your welcome?” I bent down to pick up the apples that fell on the ground to place them in the baskets. “I’m surprised that you aren’t angry at me for doing that.” I told her. I could hear her chuckle. “Believe me, I was at first but then Granny told something that made me forget it all.” If could smile I would so I just nodded. “What did she say?” “I’m not going into details, but you could say that she said it’s ok to ask for help once in a while, which leads me to a question, why are you helping me? Ever since we first meet we have only argued, so why?” I guess should tell her. “I am here because Apple Bloom asked me.” I told her while placing the last apple in the basket. “She was worried about you.” I stood up to face her and this time she was just looking at ground. “Apple Bloom was worried about me?” “Yes.” She then look up and rubbed her neck. “Right, I think you mention that the first time you came here.” She let out a heavy sighed. “I didn’t know she was that worried for me that she actually asked you for help.” She probably didn’t mean anything when she sad that last part, but I am going to take I as an insult. “Your aren’t here to work, are you?” She shook her head. “Nnnope, I’m her to make sure that you are doing it right, nothing more.” I nodded, again. I then use psychic to place the basket into the cart that wasn’t far from me. “What the hay? You use magic, we don’t use magic around here.” She was a little angry, but I wasn’t worried. “This is not magic, if you haven’t notice I don’t have a horn on my head.” She wasn’t convinced. “If it’s not magic, then what is it?” I wasn’t sure how to explain that. “Where I am from we call them moves.” I used psychic to placed the last of the basket in the art. “Moves?” I nodded. “If you want another word then we can use tricks, it something I been able to use since I was born, once I learn them.” I walk over to the front of the cart and hook myself to it, ready to pull it. “Bulk up.” I felt my muscles became stronger so I started to pull the cart towards the house. “I assure you, it’s not magic.” I told her as she walk alongside me to the house. Applejack scratched her head. “I’m not sure if I believe you but I don’t think your then one to lie.” I was satisfied by that answer. After we arrived back at the house, I decided to carry the basket into the apple cellar, so I didn’t upset Applejack again. After that was done, we went back to buck more apple trees. And eventually it became dark. When I finally placed the last basket into her cellar, I walk back up the stair and saw that Applejack was waiting there with a smile on her face. “Great work Mewtwo.” One can say that I was shocked that she praised me. “Thanks.” I closed the door to the cellar. “So, am I allowed to come back tomorrow and help or are you going to turn down my help?” She shook her head. “Nope, I am not going to turn down your help. I realised that I can’t do it alone, just come back tomorrow and this time I will help you.” I nodded my head. “Alright then, see you tomorrow. I’m going home to take a shower.” Before Applejack could say anything, Mewtwo took off to the sky. “How does he do that?” She asked herself while scratching her head. Over the next couple off days, MewTwo and Applejack worked together to harvest all the apples before the winter. Applejack had still agreed to help Pinkie and Fluttershy in Ponyville, she could do that without falling asleep. Then they finally day arrived, and Applejack placed the last basket with apples in the cart. “Alright, that’s the last one.” “Bulk up.” I felt that I became strong and I started to pull the cart towards the house. As we walk towards the house, Applejack decided to ask MewTwo something. “Hey, what’s this bulk up? You have been saying the whole time while we were working, is it one of those moves?” I nodded. “Yes, it increased my muscles, it makes me stronger.” Applejack couldn’t help but be impressed by that. “Huh, that sounds handy.” “Yes it is.” Once they reached the house, they carried all the basket into the cellar and then they were done. “There.” Applejack closed the door to the cellar. “All done.” She then whipped the sweat of her forehead. “Thanks for all the help MewTwo.” “Don’t mention it, I was glad I could…” That was all I could say when Applejack hugged me. I didn’t know what to do, she was the second pony here that hugged me. She eventually let go off me and then she gave me a confuse look. “Why didn’t you hug me back?” I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. “I'm sorry, you’re the second one to ever have ever hug me, otherers usually run away in fear when they see me.” “That’s just stupide you’re not dangerous. I let out a sighed. “Maybe not in your eyes, but where I come from I am.” I could see that she wanted to know more. “Look, I really don’t want to talk about it, not now.” “To painful?” I just nodded. “I understand. Well, when you want to talk about it I am all ears, that’s the least I can do after you help me.” “Thanks, I’m heading home. Say hello to Apple Bloom for me.” “Can do partner.” I decided to walk home, I wasn’t in the mood when it came to flying home. These past days wasn’t that bad.
