//------------------------------// // Preparing For Battle // Story: Ponymon: Threats From Another World // by The Equestrian Quilava //------------------------------// We all head into Twilight's library to plan how we are going to save everyone. "So does anyone have any Ideas of how to save them?" I ask "I got nothing. I can't stop thinking about all of us getting a Pokemon cutie mark." Scootaloo answers "There is a slight problem with that." I tell them "What?" They all ask "You're going to all have a Pokemon fighting alongside you if I'm not mistaken, and there are two of us and three of you." I explain "But don't you know whare there are other Pokemon that will help us?" They ask nervously "There is one that can, but before we get him let's grab the elements of harmony first." I said I but the six elements in a bag and we all set out to find Latios. "Who is this Pokemon?" Sweetie bell asks "The legendary and extremely powerful dragon type Pokemon Latios. Who is also Rainbow Dash's Pokemon." I answer "Rainbow Dash has a Pokemon!!!" Scootaloo says in shock "Yes and we just need to find her house, but I don't see it anywhere." I tell Scootaloo "Well duh...She's a pegasus she lives in a cloud." Scootaloo explains while pointing at a massive white cloud with a rainbow waterfall. "To be honest, I never noticed that." I confess We go to her house but none of us could fly up to her doorstep. We start yelling his name trying to get his attention, but that does not work. We resort to drastic measures and start launching thunderbolts and fireballs at the house. All the attacks harmlessly dissipate before even reaching the cloud house. We then realise that we're all that's available to save them, but as we're walking through the apple orchard Pikachu suddenly stops. "What's wrong Pikachu?" Applebloom asks "Pikachu!!!" Said a voice in the distance Suddenly Pikachu races off towards the voice. We chase after Pikachu and are surprised at what we find. A young boy hugging Pikachu. "I'm so glad your alright Pikachu." He says "Who's that Pokemon?" He asks spotting us and pulling out a red device. "No recorded information on this Pokemon." The device beeps as he reaches into his bag and pulls out three Pokeballs. "Stop!!! They aren't Pokemon." I tell him "You can talk." He says stunned. "Yes... but these three ponies are not Pokemon, but they did rescue your Pikachu. They need our help saving their siblings and their friends." I explain "Is this true Pikachu?" he asks Pikachu nods yes. "I'll help you save your friends. My name is Ash, and this is my partner Pikachu who you already meet." He introduces himself "I'm Applebloom and these are Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, and Quilava." Applebloom introduces us "Our friends have been kidnaped by these people named Team Rocket." Scootaloo explains to Ash Suddenly were all unable to move, and two people and a Meowth come out of the bushes with these strange devices. "It looks like this was a successful test for our new capturing system." One tells the Meowth "As long as we have those two ponies these devices won't fail." Meowth explains I concluded that the device was running off the magic of Twilight and Rarity and that this literally was an improvised psychic attack. All our muscles were stiff as stone so we were unable to talk. The device made all of us to start floating thru the air into this giant cage where everyone but Twilight and Rarity was in a different cage with devices attached to their horns. We're able to move again and Pikachu and I both launched attacks at the cage, but the cage somehow was able to reflect damage, and we were all shocked and burned. "Frogadier use your frubbles to take away those devices!" Ash yells while throwing a Pokeball out of the cage A blue frog appears out of the Pokeball and throws these white blobs of goo at Team rocket disarming them, and latching the devices to a nearby tree. Ash just started a battle that nopony will forget.
