"Last but definitely not least, Golden Oaks Library!" Rainbow Dash announced. "This is also where Twilight lives." she added.

As if on cue, Twilight Sparkle opened the door to see the two ponies standing there. "Hello Rainbow Dash. Hello Reshiram." she greeted. 

"Oh, hey Twilight!" Rainbow Dash replied. "I brought Reshiram here last, just like you asked. Hey, that kind of rhymed!"

"Well, maybe you could try a hoof at poetry. Most poems involve rhyming." the lavender librarian suggested.

"Maybe I will later. I think I'll practice my tricks for the Wonderbolts. See you later, Twilight!" the rainbow Pegasus said, flying away.



"Reshiram, you do realize that you've turned into a pony, right?" Twilight asked Reshiram gently. 

Reshiram nodded silently. She had figured it out when she noticed the black flame symbol on her flank. What was it called again? A Cutie Mark? Yes, that must be it. Something about what Twilight had asked her wasn't right, however. "Wait, how did you know I wasn't always a pony?"

"I don't know how it was in my library, but there was a book that mentioned you." Twilight began. "When you told me and Rainbow Dash your name, it sounded familiar, so I looked to see if I saw it in one of my books. Turns out I was right. So are you really one of those Pokemon creatures?"

Reshiram nodded again. Whenever she shook her head, her long, thick mane shook all over the place. It may have been Twilight's imagination, but the attentive Unicorn noticed something very shocking. Something hiding under that very thick mane of Reshiram's.

"Hey, Reshiram?" Twilight asked. "This may sound a tiny bit weird, but could you lift up your mane?"

Reshiram did what the Unicorn asked. Twilight gasped. "What?" Reshiram questioned. "Is there something on my face?"

Twilight stayed in a state of shock for a few seconds. Reshiram did have something on not her face, but her forehead.

A Unicorn's horn.

Reshiram put her mane back down. When she did, she looked like an ordinary Pegasus. She gave Twilight a quizzical look.

"Reshiram, have you been told about the kinds of ponies of Equestria?" Twilight asked. Reshiram nodded.

"Including the Alicorns?" 

"Yes...?" Reshiram had no idea where Twilight was taking this.

"Well, I have something to tell you...."  Twilight began.

"What?" Reshiram asked.

"You're an Alicorn." Twilight announced.

Reshiram gasped. But before she could say anything else, there was a knock on the library door.



Twilight opened the door. Rarity and Fluttershy were standing there, along with a strange Unicorn stallion. "Hello, Twilight!" Rarity greeted.

"Hi, Rarity. Did you need something?"

"Just a book to read at the spa, if you don't mind." Rarity replied, stepping in the library. Fluttershy and the Unicorn stallion followed the fashionista inside, Fluttershy closing the door behind her.

It wasn't long before the visitors noticed Reshiram. "Hello, darling!" Rarity said. "I don't think I've seen you around before! What's your name, darling?"

"I'm Reshiram." the white Alicorn replied.

"What a lovely name!" Rarity commented. "My name's Rarity. If you ever get the chance, stop by Carousel Boutique, will you? I think I could make you a really fabulous dress!"

Reshiram nodded. Rarity seemed like a really nice pony. In fact, all the ponies she met today were very welcoming and friendly. This made Reshiram smile. 

Fluttershy worked up all the courage she had to introduce herself. "Oh, um, hello, m-my name's Fluttershy...."

"Nice to meet you, Fluttershy." Reshiram replied. "I used to be shy, too."

"Really? It happens to me all the time, especially around new ponies...." Fluttershy said.

Reshiram gave the mare a smile to comfort her. Fluttershy smiled back.

Reshiram turned her attention to the stallion looking around the library, oblivious to everything. "He's kind of handsome." she thought. Something about him seemed familiar to Reshiram. Did she know him somehow? She only saw a few stallions here and there in Ponyville. The only one that talked to her was a brown Earth Pony with an hourglass Cutie Mark. He was with this gray Pegasus mare with a blond mane and gold eyes. What was her name again? Derpy Hooves?



Zekrom was impressed at the tree library and it's librarian, who happens to be yet another pretty mare. But then he turned to the mare sitting on the floor. This mare was far from pretty. She was beautiful. Zekrom was speechless. But something about this mare seemed familiar to him. Maybe his brain was playing tricks on him because of the piece of pure beauty and life in front of him. The mare was staring at him now with those startlingly familiar blue eyes. All he could do was stare back. Eventually he got the courage to speak to her. He sat next to the mare and said, "Hi."

"Hello." the mare replied. There was silence for a few minutes before she said, "You seem familiar. Have we met? My name is Reshiram."

Zekrom's heart skipped a beat. "How in the name of Arceus did you end up in the same place I did?" he asked out loud.



Reshiram gasped, shocked at the stallion's question. "Y-you know of Arceus?" she asked.

The stallion nodded. "Reshiram, it's been awhile." he began. "But it's me. Zekrom."

Reshiram gasped again, but she wasn't alone in the gaspfest. Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy all stood with mouths open.

"You two know each other?" Rarity asked.

"YOU'RE Zekrom?!" Twilight asked.

Zekrom nodded to both questions, then asked Twilight, "You know me?"

Twilight levitated the book she was reading earlier toward Zekrom. Zekrom flared his wings out in surprise at the fact that he was in a book for ponies to read.

Twilight gasped again. Zekrom was also a Alicorn!! "Where's Spike?" she asked "I need to write a letter to the Princess!"



"Dear Princess Celestia, there is something important you must be aware of." Twilight began, Spike writing down her words on parchment with a quill.

"Two new ponies showed up in Ponyville. This is not unusual, but these ponies aren't actually ponies. They come from another world, a place where creatures known as Pokemon reside. Somehow, they were transported to Equestria and transformed into ponies. But they did't turn into normal ponies. They turned into Alicorns! Do you have any advice on this situation? Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."

Spike finished writing, rolled the parchment into a scroll, then went over to an open window. He took a deep breath, then exhaled green flames on the scroll. The remains flew away and disappeared. Reshiram was thoroughly confused. She, as a Fire type Pokemon, knew how fire worked. "Are you sure this 'Princess Celestia' will receive that?" 

"It's the fastest way for me to contact with her." Twilight explained. "Spike's fire doesn't work like normal fire. It's magical fire that we use to send letters. It sure beats snail mail and having to wait for a few days for a response." 

Reshiram nodded. "Seems legit."

A few seconds later, Spike burped out fire. The fire transformed into a scroll. "That was fast!" Spike said.

Reshiram raised an eyebrow at him. 

"What?" Spike asked. "Don't judge."

"I'm not." Reshiram giggled. "It's just....very unusual...." 

Twilight proceeded to read the letter.

"My faithful student Twilight, thank you for informing me about your otherworldly encounter. There is something I need to inform you of, however. Please come to Canterlot immediately. You teacher, Princess Celestia."
