//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 - Minor fixes // Story: The Power of the Heart and Mind // by BurninSoul //------------------------------// Golden oaks Library I awoke with the sun in my eyes. I turn over to avoid the bright rays but hit my head on something. I eyes flutter open still drowsy from my sleep but the sight that befell me snapped me wide awake. The room was a mess, the shelves in a disarray, furniture all over the floor. Let’s just say I didn’t take it well, far from it. “SPIIIIIKKKEEEE, WHERE ARE YOU??”. I get a groan in response and run over to where I heard but only finding a pile of rubble. “Where are you spike?”. I hear muffled yelling from under the rubble. I panic and throw the rubble off of spike nearly throwing him too. I quickly grab him and look him over only seeing scratched scales and few bruises, I hug worried out my mind. “What the buck happened Twilight?” “All I remember last night was you attempting a spell then BOOM! and I wake up to you calling for me. Care to explain what happened?” “I don’t know Spike. Something went wrong, I must’ve let my mind wander during the spell or I missed a calculation. We need to find what came through!” At this point Twilight is pretty much out of it and a breeze could probably break her so I walk into the kitchen -what is left of it- and get her some tea to calm her nerves. I come back to see her digging around in the rubble for something.. “Twilight, what are you doing?” I stare curiously while she sifts through the pile but doesn’t see it.. “I’m looking for a book! What do you think i’m looking for?” “We need to find what came through and where it appeared”. “While i’m doing this send a letter to the Princess notifying her on the situation”. “Sure thing!” The small green and purple dragon runs off to get the letter together for Twilight and send it off. Before long it is sent off describing the situation. “It’s done Twilight!” “Good spike, Now help me clean up this mess”. “Awww!” Back at the Infirmary I wake from sleep with a horrible burning feeling all over my body. “Ow” “I feel as though I was attacked by a nest of Charmanders”. Sam hearing me wake up quickly hurried in with a face as though she was at a funeral.. “Actually just one evil shower, I was so worried, don’t ever do that to me again you moron!” She Quickly punches me in the arm causing me to wince and her to instantly feel sorry. “I’m so sorry! Are you ok?” “Yeah I’m good.” Wincing slightly. “When can I get out?” “I dunno *shrugs* I’d have to ask the nurse.” At the point Princess Luna walks in. “No need, I have you cleared to leave in a few hours but my Sister informs me that she got a letter concerning you.” “Really! and what it say?” I inquire still sore from the burns. “Something about a Dimensional Teleportation spell going wrong and blowing apart the inside of her home. It also said to inform her if anything was found from the portal. Now Celestia hasn’t met you yet but I make that happen soon.” “Rather sooner than expected.” As said pony walks through the door. All the Nurses notice her and instantly bow or curtsy. “Celestia! How did you know we were here?” Luna says alarmed at her sisters appearance. I just take in stride as though nothing happened. “Well, It’s hard not to notice with all the rumours among the guard about a strange ape creature being dragged around by a small green creature.” She looks past Luna and looks at us. “Ah, here is the mysterious pair. When did you appear and who is this and what happened to you?” Sam answered for me to Celestia's surprise and Luna enjoyment. “We appeared last night out in the long grass by the Royal Gardens, My name is Sammy or Sam for short and that doofus that burned himself in the shower this morning is Rob my trainer and companion.” “Trainer? What exactly are you?” “I am a Kirlia, the emotion Pokemon and my Master there is Human.” “Pokemon?” Luna and Celestia both ask curious at this. “Pokemons or ‘Mon for short are the creatures from our world. We come in many shapes and sizes with a range of abilities, as for my abilities. I am a Psychic Pokemon.” “Psychic. So how did you move the human?” “Well I am Psychic by type but I can learn all the abilities that involve the mind. So yes I can use Telekinesis as well as others too.” “You are quite the interesting creature. So that other thing that came in last night is a pokemon?” Luna enquired “Correct.” Says Sam. At that point I got into the middle of the argument. “Actually, I was wondering. Where is the Mawile.” “He is fine but won’t be out for a bit.” Sam informs, At the point we hear a scream from one of the curtained off areas and a clumsy and sore looking Mawile Stumbling out with a shifty gaze on everything. “Or Not.” I get up Ignoring the pain and discomfort of the burns and rush over to the distressed Mawile. “Hey, hey, heeey. Calm down you. It’s ok.” Seeing a familiar creature the poor Mawile calms down slightly but still looks distressed at the unfamiliar surroundings. “Don’t be afraid, I’m not and we’re stuck in the same boat.” The obviously scared Mawile looks at me and gives a pained stare. Celestia chooses this time to put in a question. “What am I to say of you?” I couldn’t believe she was giving me a choice. “Say of what?” I ask confused. “The letter in reply.” “Just reply that something was found but don't specify on what it is. Just say it is unique and much stay here at the palace.” “Sure I can do that but what have you planned to do since you’re here? Of course If you are to be leaving the castle you’ll need an escort to make sure you stay away from trouble.” She inquires. ‘I’ll use the time to look around and take care of my Pokemon. Actually I don't think you’ve met my other Pokemon, Bane. Would you like to her?” “Sure, but where is she?” I snap my fingers remembering where my ball are. (Not those one you perv) “Sam can you teleport to my room and get bane Ball please?” “Sure.” and with a flash of light she was gone to the bewilderment of the Princesses. “She can teleport too!” “What other surprises do your ‘Pokemon’ have in store.” “I can assure you, Plenty.” This slightly worries the Monarchs but they take it in stride. “Ok, We know what Sam is but what is this Pokemon?” Both sisters gesture to the injured Mawile “This is a Mawile, He is a Steel type so he is impervious to poison.” “How many types are there?” “Seventeen types and over half are elements.” I state simply making their jaws nearly drop. At this point Sam has returned carrying my clothes and my belt which I took gratefully. I walk off to get dressed somewhat with difficulty and Sam follows me. “What are you doing Sam?” “I coming to help you dress.” “I can handle it on my own.” “Fine.. If you need it i’m sure you’ll call me?” “Doubt it.” and walk off to a secluded section of the room to change. Halfway through I get stuck with my pants and jacket. “Oh fuck! I can do this, just pull this here. Ahhhh.” “Damn it, fine.” “SAM, can you help me please.” She comes over with a smug glare and giggles at me for being so stubborn. It only took a moment for her to fix it. We come back out with me all dressed and ready. “Oh, now i’m going to introduce you to Bane, my Poochyena and a Dark type.” completely disregarding what happened less than a minute ago. “Come out Bane!” I pull a ball out a throw it into the air which opens and dispenses the pup. The look on the princesses face was priceless but at seeing Bane their faces lit up and hearts nearly melted at seeing the Poochyena. While the Royals are distracted I grab a full heal potion from my belt and head over to the Mawile to tend to him, I administer and instantly notice the difference. I look back over the princesses and notice them still distracted with Bane but I get a fun idea. “I have an Idea!” This gets everyones attention. “I wanna go outside, I wanna show you something.” First Luna and Celestia stare at me curious, gives a shrug and leads us out the back to the gardens. “Somewhere secluded and where nothing can be wrecked.” This really confused them but Sam caught on quickly. “What he means to say is we need an area to show off our abilities.” “That sounds like a splendid idea!” Clapping her hooves together. “I shall invite my student to watch as well.” “Will that take long?” I inquire. “Not at all. I can have a message over there in less than a minute and she’ll be here in the next 30 minutes via chariots I can have sent down and wjile she’s here she can also explain why she did that experiment that brought you here.” “Fine by me then.” The message was sent out as she said a chariot was pulled up on the field where we were standing and out hopped six equines of differing species. The first to hop out was a Pink and Pinker creature of untold energy by the way she moved and seem to disappear and reappear randomly, The next to appear was an ebony white with an amethyst mane giving off the look of a classy upbringing. The third to appear was Orange and had a Blond mane with a cowboy hat on her head. Next came out cyan blue and rainbow maned one, The final two were a butter yellow one with a light pink mane and a Purple mare with a purple mane and pink highlights who instantly runs up to Celestia and hugs her. I’m looking at the scene when all of a sudden i’ve been tackled into the dirt from the side and being sat on by the blue mare. “Hey! What gives. Get off me!” I shove the blue menace off and scramble back worried she would attack me. The instant I get my bearings shes in my face again with an angry glare by this time everyone has noticed and is either snickering or staring amazement at me. “You! What are you?! Where are you from?! What were you doing with the Princess?!.......” I end her rambling by pulling a knife I had secreted in my jacket and sitting it against her throat to her horror and my amusement. “I will explain that in time you little tramp. But right now if you don’t back off i’m gonna have you deal with my companions or I punish you now.” I take a nick out of her cheek so she gets the message, she does and backs off mumbling quietly to herself in anger. I quickly hide my knife back where it’s hidden and just stand there with a bemused expression. In a louder voice so everyone else can hear me. “Now I must know you all have questions?” I get a round of nods. “Well those will be answered later or you can have Princess Luna and Celestia answer those for me. My real reason for standing out here is to put on a demonstration. Again if you have questions ask the Princesses for I have not the patience for it.” The six newcomers stare at me with a mix of emotions from anger -in Rainbows case- to excitement at seeing me. “Oh have you even noticed my companions -gesturing behind Luna and Celestia-.” They all look in that direction and finally notice the three creatures sitting behind them. The first to react is the pink and butter yellow one, running over and scooping up the Poochyena in her grasp must to Bane’ dismay. I laughed a little at that getting me a dirty look from the pup. “I’ve never seen this breed before. It’s so Cuuute, where did you get it?” I walk up to her. “It’s a she, her name is Bane, she’s a Poochyena and where I got her, while traveling.” The rest of the group bar the Rainbow haired menace (May as well call her Rainbow for the mane) followed up to us wanting to get close to the other Pokemon. They got frightened by Mawile but once I explained that he wouldn’t harm them, they got right into it. With their curiosity satisfied I decided to get introductions done with. “Hello. Right. Before I begin the Demo i’d like to get some names underway. Who’s first?” The first to speak up was the Purple one. “My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends. Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and finally Rainbow Dash” -that name surprised me since my guess was pretty much spot on- while pointing out the respective owner of the names. I get the pokemon to stand by me. “I guess it’s my turn. My name is Rob, the green and white Pokemon on my left is Sam, she is a Kirlia next to my other side the dog pokemon, Bane the Poochyena and finally on the far end and new addition to my team in my Mawile. After Introduction were done they spent a good part of the afternoon watching Rob demonstrate the power of his Pokemon. Some were magnificent and some were terrifying aka. Scary Face. After a while everyone became tired and headed their respective ways except Twilight who followed me inside and to the food hall for dinner. I got inside and headed for the buffet with Twilight and Pokemon in tow. We got to the buffet table and I picked what I liked from the selection, It was all fruit and veggies with a little complaining finally chose what I liked and found a table with the rest of my Pokemon with what they liked. “It couldn’t hurt to have meat on the menu.” I muse to myself but was still heard by the ever snoopy Twilight. “Meat you say, so you’re an Omnivore seeing as your also eating fruit.” “That is correct though I do prefer my meat more than fruit.” That made Twilight gulp in worry. “Just a quick question about that though. Do you eat ponies?” Ahh so that’s what the species is called. “No I don’t eat ponies. The only ponies we have are called Ponyta and are used for battle or racing.” “Battle?” “Yes battle. Well they are more like mock battle for the reason where no one dies but anywho, that is all the questions I want for today thank you.” “Awww, a few more?” “Nope” staying stubbornly on the issue. “Fine but i’ll be back tomorrow for more questions and some tests if that’s ok?” “Sure” I say with fake enthusiasm. “Well thank you. I’ll be off now, got a train to catch home.” “Sure, See ya” “You too” Dinner ends quickly and we all head back up to my room. I open the door head in and have a shower -thankfully not nearly killing myself this time- while everyone else sits outside waiting for their turn. One by one everyone cleans up and gets ready for bed. I climb into bed with only a pair of trackies on for they’re my fave kind of clothes and Sam climbs in next to me, this wouldn’t be a big deal if it wasn’t for the fact that she was snuggling closer than usual. I look down at her and tilt her head up to me where I notice some moisture in her eye as though she was crying. “Sam? Are you ok?” I turn on my side so I can get a better look at her. “I-I-I’m fine” She replies with a small sniffle. “You’re not. Tell me what is wrong?” “I’m worried. What if we can’t go back?” “Don’t be worried and if we can’t go back then we’ll just have to find a way to make do.” I say softly to avoid waking the others sleeping around the room. “What… What if… What if you……” She can’t finish and starts breaking down into sobs. I take seeing her in distress so I do the first that that pops into my head. I lean over and kiss her, just a quick one but still full of meaning. It does work to make her feel better and she quiets down. I pull her into my chest and she eventually falls asleep I quickly follow while pondering on what may we do if we can’t get home. I’ll leave that for another time but right now i’m going to sleep. (Will they be stuck in Equestria, What does the kiss mean? Is Sam getting feelings for Rob or vice versa. That depends on the future, Tune in next time for the answer.) () Do they find a way to get home. () Do they get stuck in Equestria forever. You Decide!
