//------------------------------// // Chapter Three - Why are we here // Story: When Worlds Collide // by Pokemon pony trainer //------------------------------// Jake hit the ground with a thump, the pink pony still hugging him "Thank you, thank you, thank you." it kept saying. "If you're going to stay, please no surprise hugs look that again," Jake said pushing Pinkie aside "feel free to make yourself at home." Jake walked to the kitchen to get them something to eat. All the ponies made their way to the chairs in the lounge room and sat down, Riolu sat to the side watching them all, Jake came back in with some food in hand. "I have no idea what you guys eat, so I hope that this will do" he placed four plates down, all held Pokémon food that he knew his Pokémon liked. "What is it" asked Rainbow Dash, she didn't look like she wanted it. "Its Pokémon food, most Pokémon eat it" he replied. "But we're not Pokémon" said the cheerful Pinkie Pie "To be honest, I have no idea what you are." "Just like we have no idea what you are." Twilight said, Jake was taken back by this . "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself," he looked around and then continued "I'm Jake and this is my Pokémon partner Riolu," Riolu just looked at them without making a sound "don't worry, he'll warm up to you guys sooner or later." "So Riolu is your pet?" Twilight asked. "Umm, sort of but I don't think of him at way." Twilight looked confused by this "let me explain, in this world we have creatures that we call Pokémon, some use them as pets and some who research them, and then there's people like me, who use them to battle." "So you make them fight?" Rainbow all of a sudden became interested in what he was saying. "Yes, but there are rules in place to keep it clean." Jake went on to explain all the rules and regulations that were involved in Pokémon battles; Rainbow Dash was most interested in the matter then any of the other ponies. ".....so there are many types of Pokémon battles out there." he finished. No one touched the food that was still in the middle of the table. "But my question to you ponies is how did you get here?" Jake had to ask, it was bugging him. "Well I still don't know, nothing like this has ever happened." Twilight spoke out. "Then tell me about the events before you wound up here." This time it was Twilights turn to rumble on, she started with the party at Rarity's and went on to explain about her present and tick she had planned. After she had finished her story Jake thought about it and nothing that he could think of could have coursed this to happen. The sun was beginning to set outside "Thank you for letting us stay but we must really get going." Twilight said. The four ponies all got up. "I don't think that will do you any good," the ponies all looked at him "judging by your story and the fact that your ponies not Pokémon, I don't think you'll find home by walking around out there." This had crossed Twilight's mind yearly-er when Jake was talking about this world of his but she didn't want to believe it. If in fact this was not the same world she had come from then there was nothing she could do to get them back. "He's right." Twilight said, now all the ponies were looking at her. "That can't be right Twilight, just use your magic like last time." pointed out Pinkie Pie. "I'm sorry Pinkie but ever since we got here, I haven't been able to use that kind of magic, I've tried back it just doesn't work." tears started to form in her eyes, the ponies tried to cheer her up. "Look if you girls need a place to stay until you find a way home your free to live here." Jake felt sorry for them, knowing the truth must be hard, he thought. The four ponies all looked at him, Twilight was the first to talk "Thank you that would be very kind of you." The others all thanked him as well. With this the group spent the rest of the night talking about the differences in their worlds; they all found it funny that the fact that word everypony is the same as everyone to Jake. After many attempts, Jake finely found the right food to give them, even though it was Pokémon food. Once all the meals were done Jake set up the lounge so they could sleep the night. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twilight couldn't get to sleep, she was still thinking about the events of that day, Are we really stuck here? How are we going to get home? How long will we be here? all these questions were circulating around her head, I wonder if anypony is looking for us back in Ponyville? "Don't worry Twilight'" Rainbow Dash said from the darkness "once they found that we didn't come back, they properly sent out rescue party's after us." She closed her eyes with the thought of everypony looking for them and fall asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Jake got back to his room he looked at Riolu, "So are they telling the truth?" he asked his friend. Riolu just nodded to signal a yes, because of his aura Riolu was able to detect the truth. "I think we need to make a call." Jake picked up his xtransceiver and called his old friend. "Hello Jake, it’s been far too long since we last talked" came her voice "Good to see you too Bianca, I have a favour to ask........" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End of chapter
