Lost and Found

by MyrrWhisp

Escape

Dusk’s consciousness floated endlessly in a black haze. His body had been braced for the impact, yet for some reason it never came. He never impacted anything, and it seemed like gravity just ceased to exist.

This involuntarily confused the Riolu’s mind and body. Recovery was slow, yet it was done. He was just left there, dreaming in the floating expanse of darkness.

In his mind however, many nightmares where playing in Dusk’s head. Being stuck in a small, dark cage, and being forced from his mother so that he could be forced to train for this ‘boss’ person. He twitched and whimpered in his sleep, a frown on his face and tears forming, dreaming being upset.

A small tune of a lullaby sang out of the nothingness he was on, there was someone else out there. The tune was so soothing, so kind, the nightmares disintegrated from his mind. The soothing song was stuck in his head now, giving him better dreams in his sleep.

He dreamed of him, Tris, and his Mother running around the lake side. There was playing, dancing (Mostly Tris), and games held there. A small smile formed onto his face, and the lullaby ceased to exist.

Princess Twilight Sparkle looked through her mirror in the tree house, examining the crown that laid on top of her head while Spike was busily working on his assignment that she gave him. Today was when she and her friends would gather up and have fun at the park.

“Well, I guess it will be alright if I don’t where this crown today.” Twilight said to herself, using her magic to take the crown off and put it on the desk next to her and the mirror. "Besides, the crown doesn't have the element of magic in it anymore, so it isn't as important."

With that down, she nodded to herself in approval and trotted away and down the stairs. Once she was at the first floor, she paused, a loud sound of something falling coming from the kitchen.

"I'm okay!" Spike, her number one assistant, called from the Kitchen, making Twilight shake her head and giggle. When she had woke up, Spike had asked her not to go into the Kitchen, and she wondered what exactly he was doing in there. Twilight sighed and trotted through the many rows of stocked bookshelves, sometimes stopping to examine some, but ended at the desk right next to the entrance.

Doing as Spike asked her to do, she sat down at the desk, looking to the closed Kitchen door with curiosity. It was a while till Spike came out, carrying a large plate to her. He sat down the plate, where a nice hay sandwich, some freshly cut carrots, and a large cup of milk was set.

"Since I knew you would be to caught up getting ready for the park, I decided and would make you breakfast!" He said, puffing out his chest in pride.

"Why thank you Spike." She said, giving him a smile as she began to eat her meal.

Once they where prepared to go, Spike climbed up onto her back and they exited the Library, starting their way though Ponyville to the park. Everything seemed normal so far. Princess Celestia's Sun glowed brilliantly, with no clouds in the sky to block it. Everypony was going through their everyday morning activities, and to her, it seemed nothing really unusual would happen today.

As they passed Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie Pie popped out of nowhere behind them and crept over, giving a big "Hello!" before hopping around happily, her usual smile plastered over her face.

"Ah!" Twilight yelled as he jumped, almost sending Spike flying, and sighed. "Oh, hello Pinkie." She smiled at her with slight amusement, and Spike with a bit more amusement none the less.

Pinkie gasped and her eyes widened with excitement, "Oh I just can't wait!" She exclaimed, "Not am I going to the park with my best of best friends, I have to make plans for a new best friend's welcoming party!" She hopped up and down faster that she normally did.

Twilight blinked with curiosity. Of course, Pinkie was always the first one to know when new friends were coming to town. "Cool! Who is the new arrival?"

Pinkie Pie shrugged, receiving two confused looks from Spike and Twilight. "I don't know." She said cheerfully, "But I have a feeling we will know soon!"

Spike watched as the pink pony bounded ahead of them, and them he gave Twilight a questioning look. Twilight just shrugged and sighed, Pinkie would always be Pinkie, even if they didn't understand her sometimes.

They continued on in silence till they approached the Carousel Boutique. Before they could trot over and knock on the door, the door swung open, revealing Rarity with a new hat. It was Long, Elegant, and Purple with light blue gems rimming its base. She looked around with her sparkling blue eyes and locked them on the trio, waving to them with a smile.

"Why hello~" She said to them "Its very nice to see you all!" She greeted them, walking with them to the park.

Twilight was left alone with her thoughts as Spike slid off her to talk to Rarity, and they finally reached the entrance to the park.

Not that much time had passed till they saw Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy trotting over to them. They all greeted each other happily, before walking into the park and branching off into small conversations with each other. Today looked like it was going to be a good day.

Dusk woke up from his slumber, slowly opening his red eyes and blinking many times in confusion. He felt like his was floating in an abyss of darkness, and by the looks of it, he was. Where was he? Shouldn't he be in his den with his Mo-

At that very moment, he remembered all the events that had happened, and he couldn't believe it. His eyes widened with fear as the memories, this couldn't of happened, this couldn't!

He closed his eyes shut, yet tears still leaked out. He put his paws on his head, shaking it in denial. "This is a dream..." He tried to reassure himself. "This is only a nightmare, and I shall wake up with my Mother... not captured, not dead..." Somewhere, deep inside his mind, he knew these memories where real, and he hated the fact. Was this where Pokemon went when they died? Oh, he can't be dead!

Suddenly his mind went blank and his ears perked by the sound of- something. It sounded familiar, but for some reason, he couldn't make out why. Slowly, he let his paws slide down, and peered through the black expanse of nothingness, and saw a light, Pure white, flickering in the distance. The voice was coming from that way, so he floated toward it.

As he did so, the simple voice created a soothing melody. It was reassuring, and it calmed his mind. We floated toward the ball of light faster and faster, till he was zipping through the oblivion. He stopped finally right in front of the small orb.

He was bathed with warm, bright light, making him look many blue shades lighter that he really was. Entranced, he looked into the light, right into the core, and saw a beautiful array of colors, as flickering in the soul. He pondered this force that a light could be created in this eternity of darkness, where no color came but black.

With his eyes reflecting the glowing orb brilliantly, he reached out to the light, the song floating through his ears as he touched it. To his surprise, the orb exploded, engulfing him with its brilliant white light.

Everypony was walking among one of the parks trails, admiring the scenery, playing I spy, or just chatting among themselves, when something very strange happened. Pinkie Pie simply stopped walking.

Twilight, who had been talking to her at the time, was the first to notice. "Hey, Pinkie Pie... Are you alright?" She called, everypony now stopping and looking back to see what was wrong.

Pinkie didn't respond, so Twilight trotted over to her and waved a hoof in her face. Sadly, her pink friend's eyes stayed locked ahead. "Um... guys, Pinkie isn't responding."

Soon, everypony was around Pinkie, trying to get her out of her state. No matter how much they tried, she still stayed like that. Fluttershy flew over to Twilight, saying in her usual soft tone worryingly. "Sorry but... I think we broke her."

Suddenly, Pinkie was un-broken, and the first thing she said, or yelled, was...

` "TWITCHY TAIL!"

Everypony yelled or squeaked in surprise and ran for cover as the pink pony's tail twitched rapidly, and soon she was under something to protect herself. Everypony was looking up to see what was going to happen.

Rainbow Dash gasped and pointed to something in the sky, and everyone looked to where she was pointing. They all gasped then in unison as whatever was falling managed to fly faster than the speed of light. A sonic boom was created. However instead of a rainbow a Sonic Rainboom would have made, this boom exploded in many different shades of blue.

After that, they watched as the unknown object swept through the sky, and Twilight grimaced as she heard a large 'Boom!', as the object crashed in the direction of the Everfree Forest.

Rainbow Dash crawled from her hiding place, her mouth agape. "That is impossible!" She yelled, "Only I can go that fast!"

Applejack got out of her hiding place as well. "Well, Obviously, something or somepony can go that fast Sugarcube. We all saw that."

Rainbow Dash scowled, but before she could reply, Rarity came out of her hiding place, and so did Pinkie.

"That was soooooooooooooooo Perfectly, Splendidly, Awesome!" Pinkie Pie said excitedly, her grin abnormally wide.

"I have to agree with Pinkie Pie here." Rarity said, making sure her hat was alright before continuing, "The beautiful and diverse shades of blue where totally splendid! Oh it would put all my blue threads to shame if I could get such an array of colors for my Boutique~"

"Hey everypony!" Twilight came, with a startled Spike running close behind her. "I think we should think more on what it was and where it might be at the current moment of time." Spike nodded in agreement.

Fluttershy was the last to come out of her hiding place, scared, but agreeing with Twilight. "Um... Yea, that would be a good idea. Maybe we could go and look for it?" She then flinched as everypony's eyes where on her, "Oh, er... if it is alright with you all of course."

Everypony, after a little while, agreed, and they where off to see what crashed in the Everfree Forest.

---

Dusk blearily awoke from his slumber to a great coldness that went to the bones. He shivered, and blinked in confusion, it was supposed to be Spring, Not as cold as Winter! He coughed, trying to focus on the area around him. A cloud of dust loomed around him, making him unable to see clearly.

He coughed again, rolling over and forcing himself to get up from the broken ground. He whimpered as his gash in his shoulder sent waves of pain as a protest for being moved. He gasped, sending himself in a coughing spree. Once he recovered, he shook his head vigorously to get rid of the confused thoughts.

The Riolu tried to peer through the dust, but all he could see was the distant shapes of wild, burning trees that didn't get completely obliterated.

He took a step back and his glowing red eyes widened in shock. /D- Did I do this?/ He thought in alarm. He was shocked, afraid, and utterly confused. He was supposed to be imprisoned right now, not in the middle of a dust storm! Speaking of which, where in the world of Arceus was he?

He shook his head again, seeing that despair was threatening to overwhelm him. He couldn't think of the past right now. He needed to find some other Pokemon so that they could help him get his mother back. That is what matters right now.

Filled with new determination and courage, be scanned the area again, the air finally starting to clear. He gasped again, for he was not just in a huge dust cloud, we was in a huge crater. His tail bobbed up and down in awe at the thought that we was the one who made this.

---

The group galloped through the Everfree Forest, their eyes set on the huge dust cloud deep within the wild and unpredictable forest.

"What happens if this thing that crashed into the Everfree is alive and hostile?" Rarity asked the group worryingly, squealing as she almost stepped into a large puddle.

"Then we first try to reason with it." Applejack said, looking at Rarity with amusement. "If we can't, then we gotta defeat it before it hurts anypony. We have done it before, we can again."

Everyone from then on was silent till they ended up at the edge of a crater. "This must be it." Twilight said. "It looks quite hazardous down there... maybe we should wait for the dust to clear out."

"Wait, and let what might be alive get away?" Rainbow Dash protested, "No way! I way we slide down there now before any live thing has a chance to escape."

While everypony was arguing on what to do, Pinkie pie was oddly submissive. She trotted away from the group, looking through the dust cloud silently. After a while of arguing, everyone noticed what Pinkie was doing, it became oddly silent. "Um.. Pinkie?" Spike called, worried from his last experience when Pinkie was actually this silent.

Pinkie looked back, a small sad smile on her face. She then said. "Whatever happened... it's really sad..." Her eyes brightened with an idea. "I could give it a hug! everyone likes hugs!" She smiled excitingly as she hopped into the crater and slid down.

The rest of the band stared in surprise for a moment, and them called after her, sliding down the crater to catch up with the pink pony.

---

Dusk was about to head off in a random direction when behind him, off in the distance, he could hear voices. He turned around, his paws shaking, and his tail bobbing in fear. He felt his aura swirl around him wonderingly as he tried to make out any shapes in the distance.

Cold dread broke into him, despite his refusing to look back into the past. Where they still looking for him? Has that Treeko come back with his evil trainer? He whimpered at the thought, but shook his head, mustering up all his courage. He had to face whoever might be coming to capture him. He was tired of running away.

Still, he called out to these beings skittishly. "H-Hello?" His voice echoed perfectly though the crater, making him grimace as he nervously awaited for an reaction.

---

They all trotted through the dusty crater, worryingly talking among themselves. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash scanned the area from the air, beating away the dust with their wings. Twilight and AJ where at the edge of the group, scanning from the ground. Lastly, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Spike was in the middle so they could receive and give out information.

Nothing much was their to report, but everything went silent as they heard a young voice call out.

"R-Riolu?"

To everypony, except for Fluttershy, they didn't understand it. Fluttershy gasped in understanding, but before she could tell them, everypony went into loud discussion, galloping forward. "W-Wait!" Flutters called, but to no avail. They where all to into finding out what it was.

They all stopped in shock at the shape through the cloud of dust. A creature was standing on two feet, a fluffy, dog-like tail bobbing up and down in fear, and two ears perked up in alarm. All they could see for sure was the red eyes that peered at them unnervingly.

---

He flinched as the voices grew loud, in alarm, surprise, shock, triumph, or anger, he didn't know. His eyes widened in alarm as he finally saw the shapes of the being that where coming to him. Where they... Ponyta? No... they looked to different for that. He shivered as he was totally outnumbered.

What was he going to do? By the sounds of the middle one that seemed to try to talk to him, he didn't understand at all. He was totally outnumbered, and he didn't know if they where here to take him back to the evil trainer or not.

That's when he lost his nerve. He backed up a few paces, and then turned, running away as fast as he could.

---

Twilight Sparkle, seeing none of her other friends where in any shape to talk, took a step ahead of them. She tried to keep an authoritative tone. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and we are here to ask a few questions." Before she could continue, the red eyed creature back up a few paces, and fled.

"Oh no you don't!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, flying past her friends and toward the unknown creature. To her surprise, the creature looked back, and her eyes locked with his. His eyes where flooded with fear, and she flinched at that. Seeing that, he suddenly changed course, running into the woods.

Rainbow Dash tried to follow, but in the middle of the chase in the forest, she lost him. Rainbow angrily had to go back to her friends, and told them what happened.

"Oh, Spike, we are going to have to make a letter to Princess Celestia about this." She said, and sighed.

---

Dusk ran and ran through the forest, spikes and thorns tearing at his fur, but he didn't care. He had to get away from the flying type creature. The sounds of the flying type grew softer and softer until nothing was left, and he sighed in relief. With that. He slowed down, tired once again from running away.

He traveled through the wild forest, passing a river, and ended up on tamer grounds. To exhausted from his traveling, he laid under a tree, which has bright red fruit growing under it, and sighed, closing his eyes and falling into a deep sleep as he embraced his waking dreams.

Thank you all for reading and liking my story!

I am sorry for the pile of Capital letters that where in the first chapter. It was really late when I reread it and I was extremely tired.

So I am now going to start on chapter two! The story did start quite simplistic, but it will get more interesting as time goes on, I assure you that!

[MyrrWhisp]

Oh and Komodo, thats a great idea! I shall do that.

It's a well written story and it's about a young Riolu surviving in Equestria! At least its different from the immediate friends cliché. . . unless they are dislike trolls.

Hah! Nice to know that now that more people have that problem. It can get annoying at times.

[MyrrWhisp]

I am getting close to done with the chapter, so it should be out late today or tomorrow, depending how much longer I can stand without falling sleep.
