//------------------------------// // Distorted Portal // Story: Pokémon: The CHS Journeys // by Shadow Hero //------------------------------// Back in the throne room of the Crystal Empire, Equestria... "Let me get this straight. You’re a human?" Shining Armor asked. "And you’re not scared at all of being a different species?" Cadence added. "Not really. I always wanted to be a Ponyta. Which I am, sorta. I don't have a fiery mane, but I have wings." Sara said. "I see. I have a friend that can help you get back home. She lives in Ponyville and she may know how to help." Cadance said. "That's great!" Sara said as she jumped up and down. /////////////////////////////////// On the train... "Why do I have to leave Fennekin in her Pokéball?" Sara thought. "Mind if I sit here?" a voice said, breaking into Sara's thoughts. She was going to say something, but looking at the mare stopped her and only "Ahhhh..." came out of her mouth. "I take that as a yes. My name is Rarity by the way." She said as she sat down in front of Sara. "What a beautiful name to match- Oh right, my name." Sara thought. "Uhh, my name is Sara," she said while looking out the window. "So what brings you to Ponyville?" "I need to see a princess Twilight," Sara said. "Oh, she’s a friend of mine; I can take you to see her. That is if you can help me bring my luggage to my house." "Uhh... sure, I guess." "Splendid." As Sara got off the train, she saw how much stuff Rarity had. She wished she could use Staryu's Psychic to move it. "So, is this all yours then?" Sara said, pointing at the luggage. "Yes, it’s the fine fabric I picked up while I was visiting a good friend from Manehattan. Why, is it too much for you to carry?" Rarity said as she batted her eyes. "N-no, it's fine. I can manage." Sara said as she started to pull the luggage dolly. After five minutes... "We’re here!" Rarity sang as she opened the door of her house/business. "Wow. Look at all the clothes. This place reminds me of one of those boutiques in Lumiose City." Sara said in a hushed voice as she walked around, seeing all the dresses. "What did you say, darling?" "Uh, nothing. Can we go see the princess?" "Sure, but can I get your measurements first?" Rarity said, picking up her measuring tape. "Uh... sure, I guess," Sara said as Rarity went on to measure her. After what felt like an eternity trying on dress after dress, they finally arrived at the castle. "Wow. This place looks like it's made of crystal. Is it made of crystal?" Sara said as she knocked on the wall. "Oh, Rarity, how was Coco doing?" a purple alicorn said. "She’s doing fine. But we have a visitor." Rarity said as she stepped aside so the alicorn could see Sara. "You must be Sara then. My name is Twilight." She said as she extended her hoof. "Nice to meet you. Princess Cadance said you can help me." Sara said, shaking Twilight's hoof. "I may. By any chance, you know a guy by the name of Klhan?" Twilight asked. "Yeah, he’s my friend. Does that mean he’s here?" Sara said as she looked around. "Well, no. He’s in another world." "Oh..." Sara said as she looked down. "But I can take you there," Twilight said. "Really. That would be great!" Sara said, perking up. "Twilight dear, do you mean…?" Rarity trailed off. "Yes. Now follow me." Twilight said. As they walked into the libraries, Sara saw a mirror at the very back of the room. "So this mirror can bring me home then?" Sara asked. "Well, no. Just you’ll be human again and with Klhan" Twilight said. "Oh. Is Klhan your coltfriend?" Rarity asked. But before Sara could answer, a large roar came out of the mirror. "Get back!" Twilight said as a gold mask with red eyes appeared in the mirror. "What is that?!" As the roar subsided, the mirror went back to normal. "Oh nononononononono!" Twilight said as she put her hoof on to the mirror. “It's not working!" //////////////////////////////////// Back at CHS... Klhan finished the test ten minutes ago and was waiting for principal Celestia to finish grading it. "It seems that you have passed everything but one subject: history. I chalk it up as our history is way different than yours." Celestia said as she put down the test. "Does that mean…?" Klhan said as he sat there. "Yes. You may attend CHS. Congratulations." Celestia said, shaking Khan's hand. After closing the door, he ran out of the school to where his friends were. "So... Did you pass?" Sunset asked. "Yes, I did," Klhan said, earning a group hug. "So, is she here yet?" Klhan asked, looking at everyone. "Not yet, but-" Before Sunset could finish, a loud roar came out of the bottom of the statue. "What in tarnation is that?!" Applejack exclaimed as she pointed at a waterfall that flowed upwards. "That can't be..." Klhan said, wide-eyed. "What is it?" Twilight said as a gold mask with red eyes appeared by the waterfall flowing upwards before the statue went back to normal. The book in Sunset's bag started to glow. "The portal doesn’t work anymore." Sunset read. "What does that mean?" "It must because of Giratina. He must be looking for someone, so he must’ve closed the portal. But who?" Klhan said. //////////////////////////////////// The Canterlot Slums in a warehouse... "We’re gonna be rich!" one of the men said. All of a sudden, the door swung open, and a man with light blue spiky hair wearing a gray jacket with black sleeves and a G printed right above his heart came marching in. "Who’s the boss here?" he asked. "That would be me, and it seems you’re lost. The costume con’s that way." the mob boss said, pointing. "No, wrong answer." the light blue-haired man said as he stepped a bit further. "Oh. You’re here to try to take over, huh? Let's see if you can handle this." the mob boss said as he pulled out his gun and pointed it at the man. "Slash." was all the man said. "What was th-" the mob boss tried to say before seeing his gun cut in half. "What the-?!” "I am the boss here now and if you want to live, I suggest you listen to me." the man said with a smirk.
