Chapter 1

In the magical land of Equestria Twilight Sparkle and her friends were finding something else to do when suddenly a letter came out of Spike's mouth.

"What does it say Spike?" Asked Twilight.

"It said that the Princesses want us to come to Canterlot right now." Spike said. "And it also said to... pack our stuff up?"

"Now did they say that?" Rainbow said.

"Not sure Rainbow darling, but we better do what they say." Rarity said.

So they went back to their houses and packed some of their stuff up and they went to the castle. Meanwhile at Canterlot castle Princess Celestia and Luna were waiting on the 6 ponies and after a few minutes they have arrived. 

"Princesses, we came as fast as we could." Twilight said as she and her friends were coming in with their suitcases.

"Why did you call us here?" Applejack asked.

"Follow us." Celestia said.

As they were walking Celestia told them about a spell that lets them communicate with creatures from another world and there is one world that they are interested in: The Pokémon world. 

"What's the Pokémon world?" Twilight asked.

"Pokémon are mysterious creatures with wonderful powers. Some can evolve to become more powerful while some stays the same. They can be found everywhere in their world." Celestia said.

"And that is why we are sending you guys to the Pokémon world for a nice vacation." Luna said.

"So that's why you said to pack our things up." Pinkie Pie said.

"And that's why we prepared a spell that transport you guys to that world." Luna said.

So after they discussed it with each other they agreed to go on vacation together. 

"And don't worry about the elements of harmony they will be safe with us." Celestia said.

And so with that said the princesses prepared the spell and it opened a portal to one of the regions in the Pokémon world and after the ponies and Spike said their good byes they leaped through the portal and they were heading to the Pokémon world.

In the Alola region a young boy named Ash and his Pokémon partner Pikachu were having a fun time. 

"All right! This is awesome!" Ash said as he was having fun.

But before he said something to a Pokémon named Sharpedo he and Pikachu saw a light coming from the beach. 

"Woah, Sharpedo stop!" He said to the Pokémon. "Let's head back. There is something on the beach that me and Pikachu want to see." 

So Sharpedo went back to to a dock and when they got to the beach a crowd has gathered to see what's going on. When they got to the center of the crowd he and Pikachu saw 6 ponies and a young dragon looking around.

"WOW!" Ash said in excitement. "Who are they?"

When Twilight saw Ash and Pikachu she walked toward them. 

"Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle and this is my assistant Spike." Twilight said as she introduced herself and Spike to Ash.

"Nice to meet you." Spike said. "And who are you?"

"My name is Ash and this is my partner Pikachu." Ash said as he also introduced himself and Pikachu to Twilight and Spike. 
"And who are those ponies right behind you?"

"Ash, these are my friends Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash and we came from another world." Twilight said.

"WOW! So you and your friends came from another world? That's amazing!" Ash said. "Can you tell me more about your world while I look for the Pokémon School?"

"Of course." Twilight said. 

As they walked through the forest looking for the school Twilight was telling Ash about the land of Equestria and how there are more talking ponies in their world and how its filled with the magic of friendship. 

When they reached an opening they saw the School that Ash was looking for and there in the middle of a track they saw three Pokémon and a girl.

"WOW! So many Pokémon!" Ash said as he ran out on the track but then Applejack saw something coming toward Ash and she screamed "Look out partner!" 

But it was too late Ash got ran over by 3 Pokémon named Tauros. 

"Stop it Tauros, come on!" said a girl named Mallow. 

Twilight, her friends, the girl, and Pikachu ran over to see if Ash is okay. 

"Are you okay darling?" Rarity said. 

Then Ash got up and said "Oh yeah, I'm fine. Actually I'm good with dealing with Tauros." 

"Really?" Spike said. 

"Yeah, you see I've caught some back home in Kanto." Ash said. 

When a Tauros came toward Ash and his new friends it scared the girl named Lillie and when she saw Pikachu she was also scared of it. Ash, Pikachu and the ponies were confused at the girl who is afraid of Pokémon. 

"Hey you are acting like you're scared of Pokémon." Ash said.

But Lillie lied to them saying that she is not afraid. And after their introductions of each other Mallow decided to show Ash and his new friends around the Pokémon School.

After their tour of the school they meet the Professor of the Alola region: Professor Kukui. 

"A big alola to you all." he said as he walked into the classroom. 

"Who is that?" Rainbow Dash said. 

"That's Professor Kukui he's also our teacher." Mallow said. "Professor I'd like you to meet Ash who came from the Kanto region and Twilight Sparkle and her friends that came from another world." 

"Principle Oak has just filled me in on you guys. Hi ponies and Spike, Ash and Pikachu the Pokémon School is a wonderful place. I hope you guys enjoy your stay here." he said. 

"Thank you." Ash said. 

But before Twilight and her friends can say thank you to the Professor they heard roaring coming from the gates and when they looked down they saw two guys and a girl wearing black and white clothes were walking toward a man. 

"Who are they?" Twilight said.

As they walked down to the gates the man in front just said to the other man with a Charizard "Stopping our bikes the way you did was not the smartest of moves." 

"Yeah, just like my bro said." Said the second man. 

"Team Skull doesn't like anyone getting in our way." The first man said. 

"You got that right." said the girl. 

"I don't remember blocking the road." said the man with the Charizard. "The only people that I can see getting in the way are you." 

"Well listen to the big talker." said the first man.

"Who are those guys?" Ash said as he and the ponies came running toward the gates.

"Th-they look scary." Fluttershy said as she hid behind her friends. 

"They are part of Team Skull." Mallow said. "Always bullying others into a Pokémon battle. Not nice." 

"If you can beat us in a Pokémon battle you can walk away." said the first Team Skull member. 

"Yeah, but if we beat you then that Charizard of yours belong to us." said the second Team Skull member. 

"You'll be sorry." said the man.

When the Team Skull members brought out 3 of their Pokémon which were salandit, yungoos and zubat they told the man to tell his Charizard to fight but then... 

"Stop it!" said Ash as he ran out to help. 

Rainbow was going to help too but Twilight used her magic to stop her. 

"Twilight, why did you stop me?" said Rainbow. 

"Because you don't have any Pokémon to help that man." Twilight said. 

Then Rainbow realized it as well and said "Oh, your right. Guess I have no choice but to sit back and watch." 

"Who do you think you are?" said the second Team Skull member. 

"You're cowards! Ganging up 3 against 1." Ash said to the Team Skull members. 

"Heh, what are you going to do about it?" said the first Team Skull member. 

"I'll fight too!" Said Ash. "Are you ready? And you're..." 

"Kiawe." said the man. "But, I don't need any help." 

But Ash decides to battle along side Kiawe by bringing out his partner Pikachu. 

Kukui was amazed by what Ash is doing and said "Oh my." 

"Don't hurt yourself." Kiawe said as he brought out his pokeball. "All right, Turtonator come on out!"

When both sides got out their Pokémon they were ready to battle. 

"Now salandit! Show them your strength with venoshock!" said the first Team Skull member. 

"Yungoos, use bite!" said the second member. 

"Zubat, leech life!" said the girl member. 

"Pikachu, use quick attack!" said Ash as Pikachu prepared its attack. 

So Pikachu dodged the poison type move and attacked the 3 Salandit. When Turtonator turned around exposing it's shell and when the 6 Pokémon bit down on the spines on the shell they blew up causing damage to the other Pokémon. 

"Quick Salandit, use flame burst!" said the first member as the 3 salandit launched flames from their tails. 

"Pikachu, dodge and use thunderbolt!" said Ash as Pikachu jumped up in the air and used an electric bolt heading toward the 3 salandit.

When the 9 Pokémon got up Kiawe walked forward and said "I'll finish this." 

Then suddenly the crystal on his bracelet started to glow and Ash, Pikachu, and the ponies were surprised at what Kiawe was doing and even the 3 Team Skull members were shocked at what he was doing. 

After some poses with his Pokémon he shouted out "Inferno Overdrive!" to Turtonator and it launched a giant fireball at the 9 Pokémon causing huge damage to them causing them to faint. 

"We won't forget this!" said the first member. 

"Y-yeah, just like my bro said." said the second member. 

"If you were going to use that move you should have told us!" said the first member as they drove off on their bikes. 

"Kiawe... what was that?" said Ash. 

Then Rainbow flew over to Kiawe and said "That was awesome! What was that!?" 

"A Z move." said Kukui. 

Twilight walked over to them and asked Kukui "What's a Z move?" 

"You see Z moves are special moves passed down in the Alola region." Kukui said.

Then after Ash told Kukui that he wants to become a Pokémon master something landed on Ash's and Twilight's heads and when they turned around they saw a yellow Pokémon flying towards the forest. 

"Who's that Pokémon?" said Ash. 

"Yeah I saw it too Ash." Twilight said. 

But the others were confused at what Ash and Twilight saw. 

"It was just there! It was a Pokémon for sure!" Ash said.

"Yeah, I saw it too! I think it was yellow, about this big, and it has an orange crest on its head." Twilight said as she gave the description of the Pokémon. 

"That sounds like..." Kukui said. 

"Tapu Koko." Kiawe said. 

"You two saw Tapu Koko? Guardian of Melemele island?" Lillie said. 

That night while they were enjoying a meal they saw the island guardian again and so Ash, the ponies and spike followed Tapu Koko and they found it on the patio of the walkway and it gave them all special bracelets with different crystals on them. When Ash put his on it started to shine and after that it flew away. And so they all decided to start their new journey together in the morning.
