Strange monsters have started appearing throughout Equestria. Worse yet, many of these monsters prove to be more aggressive and stronger than the monsters that ponies are used to dealing with. Thankfully, something else has appeared with the monsters as well.

A man who is experienced with dealing with these monsters. A monster hunter. With his help, along with a pony assigned to assist him, he might be able to help able to help Equestria deal with these monsters from his world. But what's cause all these monsters to appear? And is there a new powerful threat looming over the horizon?

(Before any complaints, Yes I know Valstrax is not the most powerful Elder Dragon, but frankly, I find him to be the coolest, and we are each entitled to our opinions. Besides, there isnt much in the way of MH fan fics, so I thought I'd try something out.)

First things first, This is my private journal, that has been enchanted to let me know if anyone is getting into it. So unless I have given it to you or I'm dead, Expect a sonic boom followed by something red charging straight at you. Good? Cool.

So we have all heard of displacement. We have all read stories where we turn into our character from a game, or enter the world of it, or any number of combinations. Well I have to say this is a first, for me anyways, and no I'm sot talking about proving it's real or it happening to me in the first place.

No I'm talking about being turned into my favorite monster. You see, I play a lot of Monster hunter, and everyone has their favorite. Mine was Valstrax. The Rocket Powered Elder Dragon, as we fans call it. And that's not all, because of course not. Of course I'd be in a world called Equestria, where all fear me to be some creature made from a chaos god.

Well I shouldn't say all. Tia and Lulu seem to like me.

Nineteen-year-old Zen is a guy who is perfectly content with his life, despite his tendencies to be a little eccentric. However, thanks to some otherworldly intruder he's pulled to a world brimming with magic. Equestria, now as the Fighting-Steel Lucario.

Now, liberated from the mundanities of his life, Zen embarks on a fresh journey with a distinct goal in mind. As he grows accustomed to his new physique, his journey will ripple throughout the world, gradually altering his fate, but in the end, will he find a way back or will that change?

But what's with the gemstone?

A/N: 'Sex' tag due to references and jokes of the subject. The character becomes a Pokemon and has the abilities of one but that is as far as the 'Pokemon' side of things goes.

Featured 01/05/20! Thank you all so, so much!!

Ever since his was reformed and after facing a few setbacks, the spirit of chaos known as Discord has been working. No, not working on a scheme or some kind of prank, but actually working. He has a newfound job, unknown to that of his friends, that requires of his attention and is the reason why he's not seen that often in Equestria.

What is that job you might ask? Well, Discord is in charge of running a special kind of restaurant in order to support himself and make ends meet. It is called the Evergreen Cafe and unlike many of the establishments that you would see in Equestria, his clientele is rather... specific.

His cafe is one for monsters. Not equestrian monsters, but monsters from another ecosystem where hunters would hunt them in order to strip them of their fur and scales just to make themselves a fancy hat out of it. Not to mention that a few particular monsters help him both in the cafe and in the kitchen. It's a secret that he's rather proud of and wants to do everything that he could in order to keep it a secret.

Unfortunately, one small slip up from him leads to his friends Fluttershy and Twilight finding out about it. Next thing you know, he finds himself bringing them along to see how everything works at the Evergreen Cafe.

It goes off the rails from there.

A random and silly one shot crossover story that I came up with after watching a few videos from NCHProductions. Some of the moments that happen in the story directly reference skits and videos that they have done so please go check them out and show your support.

MLP belongs to Hasbro
Monster Hunter belongs to Capcom
Takes place after the events of Season 8's 'Sound of Silence' episode.

Huge thanks to Viper Pit for helping me with this story as well as coming up with some bits of it.

May the sapphire star light your way!

Magic.

Monsters.

Two things that were never supposed to encounter each other. But through a magical mishap and a heap of bad luck, Princess Cadance is about to find out what happens when the two are put together. Faced with powers and creatures far beyond her understanding, she must rely on these, humans, The Commission, to keep her and her newborn daughter safe from harm while she tries to find a way back home.

Now if only this stupid, overgrown hedgehog could leave them alone for five bucking minutes!!! That would be terrific!

Zen, human-turned-Lucario, has lived among the residents of Equestria for nearly two years. He has fought many battles and has uncovered many mysteries alongside Yui. Now, Princess Celestia shares with them and two others a most unsettling discovery.

Off the coast of Equestria, a great source of tremors threatens to tear the continent apart. To save Equestria from its impending chaos, Zen, Yui, Topaz, and the human hunter, Ren, set sail to face this threat for the fate of Equestria.

One question remains; Who will prevail, Monster or Hunter?

A/N: There is no tag on for 'Pokemon' as it isn't the central focus, just know that the main character is a Lucario but that is all the ties to Pokemon he has. Enjoy!

Princess Twilight Sparkle has been the sole ruler of Equestria for ten years. The nation thrived under her rule, even more so than with her predeccessors. No catastrophe in sight. Until now...

Monsters unlike Equestria has ever seen suddenly appeared. Taking control of land, air and sea, Twilight and her little ponies stand helpless before the rampage. But as fate has it, and always will, a hero always comes to the rescue.

Rarity is the absolute picture of sophistication, grace, elegance and class, and her forte lies in the halls of high society, so when she somehow wakes up alone in a jungle with nothing but her saddlebag of supplies and some nasty surprises awaiting her, she has some huge hurdles to overcome.

The monster hunting village of Miliesu that she finds herself in has its own problems, as well; she will need to come to terms with the new world she has found herself in and the changes it is making in her before she can help them overcome the problems they are facing.

Will she be able to overcome her own self doubt and discover the root of Miliesu's plight?

For any who would are unfamiliar with Monster Hunter and would like to see the monsters for reference, you may see them in these two videos:

Over a century before the events of the modern day. A humble mining town by the name of Oreville has fallen under siege by a sinister beast the likes of which the townsfolk have never seen before. With the situation becoming grim as the monster continues its reign of terror over the ponies, the people of Oreville turn to a band of professional Monster Hunters for assistance in this most desparate time. Will the skills, and teamwork of the Hunters; And the Unity of the townsfolk overcome the creature? Or will they succumb to its overwhelming might? One shall Stand, One shall Fall.

The biggest strength is found in numbers: it's a timeworn fact that's been proven time and time again. Brothers and sisters in arms to cover you, drag you to safety, to save your life.

But sometimes, personalities break that strength down with things like pride, boastfulness, and greed. For a small group of hunters dispatched to kill a Silver Rathalos in a vibrant, saturated forest, it nearly causes them to fail their quest. And now comes the hard part: returning to camp without killing one another beforehand.
