My Little Pokemon: Rings of Darkness

Chapter 6: Sorry, I Don't Apologize.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you guys a secret:
I'm horrible at conversing at a social level.

I've never been good with words or holding a conversation up for a minute. My Pokemon for whatever reason, really didn't care. Maybe it's just with people, but I'm a jolly guy if you get know me, I make jokes, and I like to see the postive in just about...Well, everything.

But right now, at this moment, I wish I wasn't so horrible.

Cause me, my Pokemon, and these pony aliens having been staring at each other for like, I don't know, three minutes I presume. I was still clinging to Hoopa and he kept staring like the rest of us, realizing his error. The silence was so thick, you can hear a tac drop a mile away.

Metagross had an unreadable expression. Which was good, cause I was shitting bricks. But I could tell by how quiet he was, he was probably shitting bricks to.

Sweat ran down my forehead as my eyes shifted from each shocked expression the ponies had after my accidental reveal. I felt their gaze all on me, judging me. Scared, confused, and wondering "What the hell we were?"

Eventually the silence got too uncomfortable. And I had to cough.

So I coughed.

That somehow made the alien ponies flinch. It was pretty funny seeing their reaction.

I stood up and began dusting myself, ready to make contact with the girly alien ponies.

"Guten Morgen, meine schoene liebling fraulein." I said unexpectedly in German, guessing they didn't speak English.

This made everyone surprised, even my Pokemon looked surprised at my unexpected language change. Everyone remained speechless however.

'Was that German sir?' Metagross asked.

"Uh," I said awkwardly, "I-uh, I-I-I don't know." I then began nervously scratching the back of my head, looking in the air, suddenly finding more interest in the stars above me.

See, this is what I meant before. Absolutely...FUCKING....horrible!

But I needed to make a good first impression for these aliens, even if they are girly as hell. And right now I'm off to a rocky start. Okay, these are aliens right? Aliens with pony heads. But still aliens. They probably have their own language setup. Judging by their reactions to my German, they probably didn't speak English. I know, I'll use hands signals!

"Hell-ooooooo," I greeted them by waving, and continued other hand gestures, "We. Are. Heere. To. Maake. Peeeeeace. Wiiiiiill. Yooooou. Beeee Our. Frie-nd?" I kept making hand gestures the entire time, hoping they understand. They had fingers, so I'm guessing they understood half of what I was saying.

Hopefully I didn't make any offending gestures in their culture.

But they still remained silent and kept staring at me as if I had two heads.


Twilight was completely and utterly confused, first, she sees these creatures come out of the bushes. One floating, with horns, and the other looked like a subclass species of earth ponies. Tiny ears, small muzzles, no fur, except his mane and finally no tail. The last one looked like a giant white mechanical spider with a giant X in the front of his body. Feeling both shocked and surprised, they stood there motionless, gawking at these three new arrivals.

Then the mutant earth pony wearing black spoke in some weird language she was unfamiliar with. Then he started speaking English, only very slowly. Obviously trying to greet them.

The strange appearance, the bizzare language. It was obvious what these things were: Aliens.

She read about all the creatures in Equestria, and she never heard ONCE of a species of hairless earth ponies with a small muzzle and ears, and no tails, and a legless creature with horns and floating arms, or a big white metal spider. There was no doubt in her mind these were extraterrestrial creatures from beyond Equestria. Never in her wildest dreams did she ever believe she would meet a creature from beyond the stars. If these were indeed aliens, she didn't want to anger them or make a bad impression. The last thing she wanted was a war while Tirek was out making ponies weak and magic-less.

She took a small step towards them.

"Hello, My name is Twilight Sparkle. This is Spike, my assistant." She gestured to the dragon hidden behind her legs, "And these are my friends, AppleJack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Rarity. You three are in Equestria."

"Equestria?" The pony like creature muttered confused. The giant metal spider seemed to have an unreadable expression, and had something close to a permanent scowl. The floating horned one was also trying to grasp what they had just been told.

"And now, if it’s not too much trouble, who are you all?" She asked politely, she then looked to the mutant pony, who she assumed to be the leader of the trio, "What's your name?"

"Well, I don't know you well enough to tell you all that just yet, but lately I've been called Omega." He responded.

Twilight wasn't satisfied, but it was good enough for now.

"Alright then….'Omega’. It’s nice to meet you. And who are your companions?" She asked looking at the other two.

Omega turned and gripped the little ones horn and put on a fake smile, as he was holding some anger back behind clenched teeth, "Well this little cute adorable....motherfucker...over....here....who....revealed....us....over....some....goddamn....macarons.....is-" he said between grunts as he shook Hoopa rather roughly, making Hoopas pupils bounce between the edges of the inside of his eyes, "Hoopa."

Once Omega released Hoopa, his eyes continuously bounced to and fro, he staggered in the air trying to keep his balance, "Hoopa is dizzy to meet you..."

The mane six looked anxious from this display, Fluttershy seemed the most uncomfortable from Omegas abuse towards the smaller being. But Hoopa didn't seem to mind it at all that much and shook off the dizziness and returned his eyes back to normal before Omega continued with his intro.

"And this is Metagross." He gestured.

'Charmed to meet you all tonight.' Metagross nodded his head/body.

Rainbow couldn't help but chuckle at his accent, "Anyone wanna tell Rarity we found her future boyfriend?"

Rarity glared at her cyan friend, narrowing her eyes, but she remained silent. Her expression spoke for itself.

Twilight spoke, "Well, Omega, Hoopa, Metagross, it's nice to meet you all. You three aren't from around here, so what part of Equis are you all from?"

"I…we're not from Equis, I’m from Earth." Omega stated.

"Earth? Is that like, another country? A kingdom?" Twilight asked.

"No… It’s a planet…" Omega answered, "In the milky way corner of the galaxy, we got nine great neighbors. Some assholes argue eight, but I think they are just being mean to Pluto." Omega continued, "And we're that teeny blue orb between Venus and Mars."

Twilight gasped in joy, beaming from ear to ear with a smile that would make Pinkie Pie proud, "Oh my gosh! I knew it! I knew you were aliens! I mean no offense, you guys look way too bizarre to belong to Equis. Also I've read every book about all creatures around Equis, but none of them match your description!"


Ok this purple one was starting to freak me out. She began flapping her lips continuously and I was able to catch only bits and pieces. Judging from the expression of the other ponies and the dragon, this is probably something their all use to from their purple leader when ever she finds something...new.

She began going on and on. I didn't need to be Metagross to tell she was a huge fucking nerd. Anyway, I mostly tuned out what she's been saying, she said something about princess's, some guy named Starswirls beard, finally me and my Pokemon being the biggest discovery since we're aliens or some shit, I don't know, I just didn't fucking care.

I rubbed my eyes and dragged my skin downwards as she kept talking endlessly. It was so hard to tell what she kept going on about. I could tell those other ponies were getting bored with her yammer. I even heard Hoopa yawning once.

She then began directing question towards me and my Pokemon. She grabbed my shoulders and pulled me in closer with a crazy grin, her muzzle was inches away from touching the tip of my nose. And her grip on my shoulders didn't falter as she hit me with several questions in one breathe.

"So are you all dangerous? Are you carnivores? Are there more like you three on your home world? Do all of you look the same? Can your species do magic? Do you all live in one diverse community together? Do you have a princess? If you do how many? Why have you come to Equestria? Are you all here to instate intergalactic peace? Are you ambassadors? Or explorers?"

Jesus on a pogo stick! It's like the whole fucking paparazzi in one girl!

Thankfully the cowboy looking pony quickly put her arms between us and pulled us away from each other before she could assault me with fifty more question.

"Alright there, simmer down girl," Applejack said calmly, "Give this fella a chance to relax b'fore you send 'em over the edge."

"Okay…Okay…sorry about that…" Twilight smiled nervously. She gazed at me with that creepy, excited, crazy grin. I kept wondering if she was thinking of dissecting all three of us.

"Hey wait a minute!" I heard the pink one say.

We turned to her as she was staring directly at Hoopa, making him understandably nervous. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"I've think I've seen him before." She said in a suspicious tone, she then ogled Hoopa's hands and gasped loudly and dramatically.

"I knew it! those are the same hands that stole the doughnuts a few days ago!" Pinkie accused.

Hoopa eyes widened as he stressed out. He looked at his hands and proceeded to hide them behind his back, whistling a nervous tune.

"Is that true?" Applejack asked, glaring at me personally, "Did your friend steal from our friend?"

"Weeeell," I slurred nervously, "It's not exactly a lie, I gave him permission, and I was hungry at the time. And I didn't think Hoopa took them from anywhere you were supposed to buy them."

"Alright everypon-, I mean everyone," Rarity said calmly, "Let's try and calm down."

'Yes,' Metagross agreed, 'And our friend is really sorry, right?'

"He better be." Applejack said, looking at me with a suspicious glare.

I remained silent, with my eyelids half close, looking deadpanned. Everyone kept looking at me, expecting me to apologize for giving Hoopa permission to steal.

'Right?' Metragross repeated, sounding more irritated, that I refused to answer.

In response, I remained silent and crossed my arms, and never changed my expression. I remained stone faced.

'Sir! Just apologize for the bleedin' doughnuts!' Metagross snapped, his voice raised.

I simply shook my head.

"No."

Another thing I've alway gotten into trouble for was: Being stubborn when I was in trouble. Whenever I got in trouble I would always deny, deny, deny. So much I even belived it myself. I would apologize, really! I would! But its a psychological battle for me! I would often find excuses to justify my actions. Refusing to apologize often reflects on my efforts to protect a fragile sense of self. It opens doors to guilt and far more toxic emotions. I just cant.

"What!?"

"I'm not apologizing." I said stubbornly.

"Then that makes you a thief!" Applejack accused me.

"Please," Twilight tried persuading me, "Just apologize, so we can move past this."

"If you think I'm gonna apologize for being hungry and doing what my instinct told me to do, then fuck. YOU. ALL. I didn't mean to steal it, but I'm not apologizing for surviving. That would be like being sorry for breathing air. I do it because I need to. And I don't fucking hear you all apologizing!" I snapped.

Metagross groaned and face palmed with his legs, 'Sir, now is really not the time for you to be showing off your stubborn pride. Your making a rather bad impression.'

"You stole food! Alien or not, I wanna hear ya apologize to my friend fer stealin' 'er food!" Applejack demanded, "One thing I can't stand is liars and thieves."

"Okay first of all that's two things," I pointed out, "Thieves and liars are not "one thing". Second, I was fucking hungry at the time, I wanted to survive. I followed the easiest option than killing an animal and eating its fucking intestines. And I'm not gonna apologize for not eating intestines." I ranted, then continued "When you have a friend that can teleport food in, when you're in the wild, then fuck survival!"

Feeling apprehensive and responsible, Hoopa spoke up, "Hoopa is sorry he stole-"

"Shut up Hoopa, you don't have to apologize for the both of us!" I snapped.

I couldn't see it, because of his permanent scowl or whatever the hell you called it, but I knew right away Metagross gave me an "Are you fucking serious?" look.

Twilight quickly tried to defuse the tension, "Everyone please, calm down. Let's not go crazy over some doughnuts, these beings are far more important than-"

Twilight was cut off as a lasso whizzed past her and quickly wrapped around my waist. With a hard yank I was sent tumbling towards the ponies.

"Listen partner," Applejack began, "I don't know how y'all do things where you come from, but we ponies don't steal from one another. And we apologize cause we know it's not right, we-"

"Let...Omega-kan....go!" Hoopa demanded.

The farm pony was launched back as Hoopa fired a magenta beam of energy with multicolored particles from its hands. The pony was sent and crashed against a tree.

Psybeam.

"Applejack!" The ponies cried, running over to their fallen friend.

I quickly got up and took off the rope and looked at Hoopa, "Goddamn it Hoopa, I taught you better than that! Not apologizing is one thing, but attacking them is not what I had in mind!"

"H-Hoopa was trying to protect Omega-kan.'

I heard Metagross groan in discontent, 'Sir! This could have been all avoided if you apologized!'

"I don't do that! It's a psychological barrier! You wouldn't understand!"

"Hoopa don't think ponies don't like us very well" Hoopa stated.

"No shit!" I quickly pulled out Hoopas pokeball and returned him, "Come on Metagross, move the molass out of your ass!"

Running in the opposite direction of the ponies. Rather taking my chances with local wildlife, Next thing I know I felt being knocked down by a kick to the side, I fell to the ground.

"YOU JERK!" I heard the rainbow one.

Metagross eyes widened as he saw me get kicked down.

The rainbow pony girl pushed me to my stomach on the ground and punched me multiple times in the face, causing blood to spray out of my mouth.

"You think you can pick on my friends and get away with it?" The rainbow one said as she continued delivering more punches my way, "Infact, I bet your with that Tirek dude."

"Who are you talking about, let me go!" I grunted.

"Not a chance! You-huh?" Next thing Rainbow Dash knew, she was highlighted in pink energy before being tossed off of me and sent flying away.

'Sir!' I heard Metagross cry, coming to my aid, 'Are you alright?'

I quickly got up and dusted my jacket, "Yeah come on before they catch up with us! I'll call you if I need you."

'but sir, the rest are on their way, I highly advise against it. You'll need me to evade them.'

"Sorry, but there's a better chance if there are less of us for them to spot." I explained, taking out his pokeball.

Metagross nodded 'very well sir, good luck.'

I returned Metagross and hauled my ass out of there. I ran quickly into the dense forest, hoping I lost them.

Unfortunately Lady Luck is a dick.

The purple pony alien nerd used her magic and quickly teleported right infront of me, making me recoil back in surprise.

‘What the fu-‘ I couldn’t finish that thought as I suddenly found myself paralyzed on the spot, unable to move at all. A magenta aura suddenly enveloped my whole body. I found myself being lifted up by the aura.

"That is enough!" I heard Twilight.

I looked back to see the girls glaring at me. Rainbow and Applejack gave me a venomous glare. With how quick things went from bad to shit, I would not be surprised.

"First things first," Twilight said sternly, still keeping me gripped in her force field, "Your going to apalogize to my friends for everything you've done, then we're taking you to Canterlot."

Canterlot?

Wait, are they gonna put me in some lab and perform experiments on me. Then be tested by pony scientists as they try to figure out how I tick. I can already see the surgeon holding a scalpel over my heart.

No, I can't. I gotta get out of here.

And I know just the guy who can get me out of this mess.

They will not stop him, he will stop them ALL.

Gritting my teeth, I used all my power to fight against the force that was holding me. I successfully reached into my pocket and grabbed a pokeball.

"Wait," I heard Twilight, she noticed me grabbing the ball, "What are you doing with that-"

She didn't get a chance to finish as I threw the pokeball onto the ground.

A white flash erupted from the pokeball, as the girls were all momentarily blinded. When they looked back, a giant shadow loomed over the Mane six and Spike. Their eyes widened and their jaws were gaping as they saw a 30 feet tall Groudon rise up, staring directly at them.

Twilight instantly dropped me, as her focus was now mainly on Groudon, who stood between me and the pony aliens. And judging by their expression, they did not expect to see Groudon appear. His size easily dwarfing them.

And he was angry.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRHHHHH!"

"Oh buck." Rainbow muttered.
