My Little Pony: Mint-Green Version

by FaelaArts


They were afraid of those that could bend, or even break these rules.

“What, you mean like sad?” Blue tilted his head, not sure why Lyra was looking at him with sudden understanding. Twilight bit her lip and flicked a few pages into the book.

“No, but I can’t explain it well. I’ve never had it. There’s quite a few quotes in here from ponies who have had it though. One describes it as; ‘Unspeakable sadness, a feeling of being trapped with no escape, with nowhere to turn.’ Really, there’s so many here it would be easier to give you the book.” Twilight held out the book, but Blue didn’t take it. Looking at it, the silence stretched awkwardly between them.

“So basically, who I am is a disease.” Blue waved his arms weakly and sighed, his head lowering as he realised both Lyra and Twilight were insulting him. Lyra quickly brought him into a hug as Twilight began to explain.

“No Blue, please don’t think that! Depression is not you, it is an imbalance of chemicals in your brain. It might feel like it is you but it is not. Trust me, the medication for it won’t affect your personality. In fact, you’ll find yourself being able to be yourself more. At least, that’s what the book says.” Twilight bit her lip again, skimming the book as she tried to find out how to deal with Blue, who apparently didn’t want to see a pony doctor.

“Medication?” Blue didn’t raise his head, and Lyra leaned in closer. After a while, he pushed her away and took a few steps to distance himself.

“It’s a spell in the book. It basically helps manage the condition. There’s pills that can be administered for those that can’t cast the spell, but both you and Lyra should have enough magic to cast it, if you so wish. You won’t feel a change for a few days, but I implore you to at least try it.” Twilight put the book down and looked pleadingly to Blue, who turned away. Lyra could see where this was going, and pulled Blue to face her, forcing him to look into her eyes.

“Blue, just try it please. If it doesn’t work after a few days, I’ll never bring it up again okay? Does it really hurt to try it?” Lyra waited as Blue pulled himself out of her grip and sighed, knowing full well what Lyra might do if he refused. Raising his head, he looked meekly to Twilight.

“Fine, teach Lyra how to cast this spell. I’m gonna go...get some air.” Blue turned and exited the building, taking a seat just outside. Breathing out, he sighed again and looked to his hoof, before looking to the door as Lyra exited the building and smiled warmly at him. Blue could tell it was forced, however.

“Alright, well I only have to cast it once a day to keep the effect active, so are you ready for the first dose?” Lyra helped Blue to his feet, and he said nothing for a moment. Looking to the sky, he eventually gave a nod. Lyra closed her eyes and charged up her horn. Blue watched the bolt of magic hit his body, and vanish without any effect. Lyra opened her eyes, and raised an eyebrow.

“What?” Blue turned and began to walk back toward Lyra’s house as she followed. After a moment, she huffed in annoyance.

“I was expecting you to suddenly burst into song like other ponies.” Lyra raised her head and felt a surge of triumph as the hint of a smile appeared on Blue’s face for a moment.

“It’s a pity I’m not a pony then,” came his reply.


“We can’t just barge into Silph co, they’ll think we’re Team Rocket in disguise. And what are we supposed to say? ‘Hey we’d like to take your Master Ball, the one you were planning on sending overseas to make back the money lost from dealing with Team Rocket.’ I can imagine how well that would go over.” Lance pulled off his helmet and rubbed his forehead in frustration.

“I know, but think what we could do with it if we had it, we might be able to capture one of the legendary dogs and maybe give ourselves a little more firepower in our fight.” Green sighed and sat back down in her seat, knowing Lance was right. Helmet covering her face, she glanced outside as three ponies were let in by one of the Police on guard. If any of them recognised the pony, they said nothing.

“What’s going on?” Lyra looked between the three humans as Twilight and Blue took a seat. Taking one next to Blue, Lance looked to her and quickly motioned in a circle, beginning his summary.

“We’re planning to overthrow the rule stating that any with Blue’s power has to be executed. To do that we’re going to have to do a hostile takeover of the Celadon Condominiums aka Celadon Mansion. This is where the guys that make the rules stay, I think they’re called Game Freak. Trainers are normally allowed up there to go meet some of them, so that will be our ticket into the building.” Lance had a detailed map of each floor of the building. Lyra was impressed at his skill, the lines were almost perfectly straight.

“We can’t do that.” Blue’s voice startled nearly everyone in the room as he looked at the building plans. After a moment, he raised his head and began to explain.

“Our world is based on rules that even Pokemon follow. You don’t see a pokemon attacking twice on it’s turn right? These guys are the one’s that made it so Pokemon never break that rule, don’t ask me how they did it. If we bring them down, assuming we could, what would happen to these rules? What if Pokemon decided that they don’t want to serve humans? We have no way of foretelling how this will affect our world.” Blue waited as they all considered it, before nodding as they understood what he was saying.

“This is not a good idea, it can only end badly,” he finished. Blue folded up the maps and handed them to Lance, who took them and placed them on a side table littered with papers. Sighing, he sat down and frowned, thinking deeply. Green sat down as well, and Red had already been sitting before Blue had entered.

“Alright, we scrap that plan. I’ll see if any of us Gym Leaders or Elite Four can think of a better plan. For now, just stay low profile. I’ll be back in a day or two tops. Be careful around my replacement when he arrives as I’m leaving, it’s bound to be someone who will recognize you three.” Lance stood up and began to pack up things into a backpack that had been resting on the side of the tent. Lyra, Blue, and Twilight stood up and left the tent. Red and Green stayed put, knowing they were meant to be acting as Policemen.

“So, we’ve got a few more days before those guys tell us their next plan, so what do you want to do?” Lyra took a step closer to Blue, and looked around as they passed through the shopping district. Blue shrugged. Twilight had gone her own way back to the castle shortly after exiting the camp.

“I’ve never been really good at managing my spare time.” Blue noticed one of the stalls was selling flowers. After a moment, Blue realised that ponies likely ate them, and that this was similar to a fast food stand.

“We could always go on a trip to Canterlot, see the sights. Twilight might be able to even get us rooms at the castle.” Lyra smiled warmly as she imagined the luxury to those rooms. Rumors had it there was even a chocolate room Celestia had access to.

“Sure, if that’s what you want to do.” Blue once again shrugged, and saw Lyra puff out her cheeks. Lyra had wanted Blue to show a little more enthusiasm. What guy doesn’t like shopping?

“Alright, we’ll leave first thing in the morning. Let’s grab the groceries and swing by the castle and ask Twilight if she could do us that favor. It might be too much to ask, but Celestia is your pokemon after all.” Lyra winked and walked over to a stand to buy some food. Blue winced slightly.

“Right, I really don’t think that’s going to win me any favors though,” he replied.
