Chapter 1

"ARRGGHHH!" Sounded a scream of pain and surprise through the small house in Pallet town, as a 21 year old man fell hard to the wooden floor in his bedroom, smoking lightly as he recovered for the electrical charge from his most trusted and longest known friend, Pikachu, a small yellow rat looking creature with high red cheeks that can fire electrical charges as defense or attack- This creature is called a 'Pokémon'.

There are around 500 pokémon or more around the world and many more to discover. Each part of the world has its own pokémon and they all live in different elements or environment. Pokémon all over the world is friends with humans and they join together in small groups and battle against each other for fun and for competition. There is of course bad guys like Team Rocket, who uses pokémon for evil, but they are gone thanks to the man on the floor, the international pokémon champion and most known trainer through the world, Ash Ketchum.

He groaned as he got off the floor and sent an amused glare towards Pikachu, who was trying to look as innocent as possible, he smirked at his friend, not really caring that he just attacked him; he was literally immune of electricity by now. He got up and put his clothes on as he said "So what should we do today Pikachu?" He grabbed his belt, which held six pokéballs containing all of his best pokémon, his champion team. The pokémon was Charizard, Sceptile, Feraligator, which was his fully evolved Totodile, Pigeot, who he finally came back too, to get a good flying type for his pokémon league team, Glalie, his first ice type pokémon, which he got in the Hoenn region, and last but not least, Pikachu, his first pokémon, his best friend and the pokémon who always kept by his side no matter what.

In response to his question opened Pikachu his mouth and pointed with a finger inside it and rubbed his stomach. Ash laughed and said "You're right. Breakfast first, adventure later" Pikachu nodded happily in agreement and Ash laughed once again, as he let all of his pokémon out. Out came Charizard, who could barely stand straight in the room as tall as he was,

Pigeot joined next to him and gave a happy chip as she nuzzled into Ash's chest, making him laugh and gently push the loving bird away. Glalie joined them with a happy look in his eyes as he flew around. Feraligator let out an excited growl and pulled Ash into a bone crushing hug. Ash laughed harder and returned the hug quickly, before he pushed him away playfully. He moved over to the kitchen began to make breakfast. He had learned from Brock a few years back when he realized that he couldn't always count on his friends to make dinner for him. He started to set up on the traditional beefs for Charizard and Feraligator, right now they pretended to be cool with Sceptile, but you could easily see the hungry looks they gave the beefs and the small smile, Sceptile got the normal fruit bowl with salad he enjoyed too much, even if he acted like he didn't. Pigeot got the bird foot Brock had special made for her and Pikachu got a dish same to Ash, which he happily enjoyed. Glalie was another case since he didn't eat, since he didn't have a mouth. Ash had researched with Oak a couple of years back about that and together they had discovered that Glalie sucked the nurturance out of the surroundings of him.

After half an hour, they all sat satisfied and Ash rubbed his now lightly expanded belly, he got quickly up and said happily "How about we got to the train in the mountains today guys?" He smirked as a collective groan came from his pokémon team, but they got up anyway and one by one they returned to their pokéballs and Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder. Soon after he was walking with Pikachu in the roads of the mountains, it had taken them nearly an hour to get to there and knew it would most likely take two more to get to the top of the mountain. When they reached to the top he was just about to let all his friends out, when he heard Pikachu cry "Pika Pi!"

Ash turned around and to his shock saw Pikachu standing, staring in wonder and a little fright, at a large glowing white circle hanging soundlessly in the middle of the air. Ash walked over to it, curious as ever before, and looked closely at it. It was a pure white dish hanging in midair and nothing more. It didn't remind Ash of anything he had seen before, and trust him when he says he had seen a lot.

He ignored the small tugging in his leg as Pikachu nervously tried to pull him back from the portal, Ash knew pokémon had some sort of special ability to feel when danger was near, but he couldn't help but fell this... Thing was not here to harm him.

His eyes widened as he heard voices from the thing, and judged by Pikachu's yelp in surprise he heard them too "We got to stop Nightmare" Said a female voice from the portal. That was the only thing Ash could clearly hear, the rest was blurry with a few words such as 'forest' and 'eternal night' Now Ash was really curious, the voices behind the thing sounded like a female, it sounded like she were in trouble for the small amount of panic in her voice. Ash, always feeling like he should help people when needed, began to walk slowly towards the portal. Pikachu; not wanting to leave Ash on his own jumped onto his shoulder, still looking quite nervous, but knew there was no stopping Ash now that a person was in trouble. He slowly let his hand flow through the white surface of the circle and not surprised when it went right through. He slowly walked into the circle and the last thing he knew before darkness was pure pain.

:In Equestria:

Twilight and the other ponies, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy were walking towards the forest, all of them with a serious expression, except Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, the first looking very nervous and the latter bouncing happily around, excited for a new adventure. Twilight couldn't help, but have her eyebrow twitch in a little annoyance as Pinkie Pie began to talk about another random subject.

"Hey Rainbow Dash, did you know I found Gummy around here, completely lost and without teethes! He looked so lonely and sad that I couldn't resist taking him in!"

"Pinkie…" I'm trying to think here" She didn't notice Pinkie quickly lost her smile and she looked down at the ground sad.

Applejack smiled to the pink pony and whispered "Forgive Twilight, she's a little stressed and not used to being around ponies, just relax a little, will ya?" Pinkie Pie gave her a quick smile and nodded. Soon she was bouncing around again.

(Don't do that to Applejack, everyone reading this fic can read her lines in her southern twang without you spelling it, it can even get annoying for people who aren't fluent English speakers, to try and read it like that…)

They were all soon out of Ponyville and near the forest and Rarity was the first to notice some dark figure lying on the road near the forest "What may that be?" She said, pointing towards the dark figure.

The others looked and Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes and said after a while "It's a pony or colt, I can't really tell gender, all I can say is that he has some kind of smaller creature next to him"

"How can you tell that?" Asked Twilight, a little surprised as she barely could see a few hooves in front of her.

"Pegasi have enchanted eyesight, it's a part of our nature. If we didn't we would just crash a lot more, when we flew very fast"

Twilight looked like she wanted to ask more into the subject, but was interrupted by Fluttershy to everyone's surprise who asked worried "Do you think he's hurt?"

"I'm not sure…" The others nodded in agreement and walked slowly towards the pony or colt at the ground. When they came over, they saw him fully, he had a light brown coat and a black short mane, his tail was as dark as his mane, but in opposite to other colts his was long as a pony and the hair of it looking rather thick and strong. Around each of his back legs he had a small belt strapped around them and on the belts hang three small red and white balls on each of them. His cutie mark confused them greatly as it was a ball identical to those he had around his back legs.

"What do you think his cutie mark can be?" Asked Twilight interested.

"Uhh, maybe he's a juggler!" Said an excited Pinkie Pie and only got weird looks in response.

"That is a possibility, but how would that explain that weird animal next to him" Said Rainbow Dash as she flew few inches over the yellow weird looking animal.

Fluttershy's eyes lit up in excitement and she said with an excited voice "Oh! It's so cute! I wonder what it is. Maybe he knows? Do you think he got it from another land?"

"That could be possible…" Said Twilight "But I think we get most answers if we wake him up" Again the others nodded in agreement as Fluttershy still looked at the creature with a light in her eyes.

Pinkie Pie moved over to the colt and puffed him in the side, saying "Hey! Wake up!"

The colt rolled over and continued to sleep as he said "Not now Pikachu…"

Pinkie gave a grin and said "Silly colt. My name is Pinkie Pie, not Pikachu!" Fluttershy was now looking at the colt too and no one noticed the yellow animal behind them slowly woke up and looked at them all before it let out a noise.

"Pikachu!" It said, making everyone turn towards it with a shocked look. The animal looked at them with a confused and slightly shocked look. He looked around and called "Pikachu!" It then noticed the colt on the ground and moved slightly confused over to it, it nuzzled at his chest and took a quick sniff at him, before crying out "PIKACHUU!" And fired, to everyone's shock a stream of pure electricity at him, making him cry out in pain and yell "I'm up! I'm up! Stop it Pikachu!"

"So… I guess it's a Pikachu…" said Pinkie Pie randomly. The others just looked shocked that the little creature had fired off electricity and at a sleeping colt.

They watched as the colt stood up on all fours and shook his head, before saying "Ok, so what happened Pikachu?" He said, looking at the little creature. The creature just shook his head and pointed towards the ponies. The colt looked the way Pikachu pointed and saw all of them, standing there with shocked looks.

He looked at them for a second, before blinking and said "Ok… So I hit my head harder than I thought… Now I'm seeing unicorns, flying ponies and normal ponies that look like they fell into a paint bucket…"

"Excuse me?" Said Rainbow Dash, a little offended "Flying ponies? To your information I'm a Pegasus!" She said and flew over to him "Besides it's not like you haven't seen anyone like us before!"

The colt looked at her and said "I haven't seen anything like you before… WAIT! YOU CAN TALK?" He suddenly shouted out.

"Of course I can talk" She replied with sarcasm and rolled her eyes "I mean you can, so why shouldn't I be able too?"

"B-But you a pon… Pegasus!" He cried out in a state of minor panic.

"So what," She asked annoyed, "you're a pony and you can talk"

In his shock he looked down at himself and let out a scream in fright and shock. He stopped screaming and sat there for a few seconds, before he started laughing. The other ponies looked at him and Pinkie Pie said with a small laughter herself "His gone loco!"

He soon stopped laughing and looked at Pikachu saying "So this is a new one right buddy? Being transported into a world full of talking ponies and Pegasus and what appears to be some kind of unicorn… Turns out I did get transformed into a pony too…" He turned towards the others and said "Sorry for my break out, but to explain it fast and easy. I'm not from this world. I'm not a pony. I walked through a white portal thing and ended up here unconscious apparently…"

The ponies looked at him with even more shocked looks before Twilight shook her head and said "Look. Whoever you are, lying or not, you really need to get away. We have to get going to defeat Nightmare Moon and we can't wait much longer!" With that she races past him and the others slowly followed, leaving him behind.

Only the pink pony looked back and said in a happy voice "I know you are not from this world! My Pinkie senses told me" With that she bounced in the direction the others had before.

Ash looked around and saw his friend Pikachu sitting on the ground with an impatient look. Ash smiled to him and said "Should we follow them?" Pikachu nodded and jumped onto his back and pulled in his mane for fun. Ash looked back annoyed and said "Very funny Pikachu" Before setting into motion and followed the others to stop whatever this Nightmare Moon was.

Soon he was surrounded by dark large trees and couldn't help but think 'You did it again Ash, wandered into a large forest without having a clue where you are going!' Pikachu stood on his back looked around to search for the others. He heard something huge rumble, like a huge rock just started to fall and a couple of screams, he knew instantly that was the others and raced towards the point where he heard them. When he jumped through the trees he saw to his shock the purple pony hanging on to dear life in the hooves of the orange pony with a cowboy hat, only few seconds from falling down the cliff as the orange pony didn't have enough ground to set her hooves on to get her up. He instantly, out of pure instinct, pulled out a pokéball from the belts around his legs and tossed it into the air, kicked it and called "GO PIGEOT!" Out in a flash of a light came a huge brown bird that was easily twice as tall as him, it had brown feathers all over its body and light brown feathers in its chest area and had long red and yellow feathers running down its back. It had huge claws that looked like it could tear apart any creature. It let out a loud cry "PIGEOOT!" and looked at Ash, ready to obey as it knew he was its trainer even if in another form.

"Go save the purple pony down there!" Pigeot turned around and saw the purple pony, who had just let go of the orange one and disappeared with a small, almost soundless, swish and appeared right over the pony, grapping her with its talons and began to fly back to Ash. Twilight began to panic and said "PUT ME DOWN! HELP!" but couldn't fight against the gigantic bird.

Pigeot flew lazily over to Ash and sat down a shaking Twilight, who looked around nervously and noticed Ash "Y-You? Did you order that bird to capture me?" She asked, anger growing in her.

Ash, able to see her growing anger, said quickly "N-No ma'am! I just said Pigeot should save you! You looked like you were in trouble and thought I could help! Sorry if I was causing any trouble!"

Twilight looked at him with a calculating look, before smiling weakly to him and said "Ok… I believe you saying you were trying to help, even if I don't believe you coming from another world… even if I never have seen such creatures before. What's your name and what are they called?"

Ash smiled to her, thankful for not awaking her anger, the last thing he needed was to let the creatures of this world be his enemy… "My name is Ash Ketchum, and these creatures are called pokémon"

Not really wanting to get into it more, and because they were kind of busy she said "Can you explain more about pokémon later? Right now we have to defeat Nightmare Moon and that can't wait"

"Ok" He answered "I can fly you down to the others, I can come with you to help defeat this Nightmare Moon or whoever it is…"

Twilight looked at him shocked at the bird gently laid its grip around them again and said "You don't know about Nightmare Moon? You really aren't from around here. Well in all basics is Nightmare Moon a mare that have returned after being captured on the moon for thousands of years thanks to our princess, but now she is back and will make the night eternal"

Ash nodded, understanding the main point, but wished he could understand more, as for example being captured on the moon… That sounded crazy to him, but he guessed that was maybe a punishment for evil people… ponies in this world.

Guess he would just have to get a better explanation later. He felt Pigeot release them both, and not even a second later he was pinned to the ground by the light blue pony with wings who glared at him and said "Ok! Who are you and why are you following us?"

Twilight saw this and exclaimed "Rainbow Dash! Let him go! He's only here to help!"

She slowly let him go and said "Ok, if Twilight trusts you, I do… I think. But I keep my eye on you"

Instead of getting hurt or angry, he just smiled to her and said "Ok. I would probably do the same thing if someone I didn't know suddenly joined on one of my old adventures" Rainbow Dash gave him a weak smile, but it was quickly hidden again.

"So who in the hay are ya?" asked the orange pony with the cowboy hat and southern accent.

"I'm Ash Ketchum, a pokémon trainer and totally new to this world"

"And what in the hay is a 'pokémon'?" She asked again, even more confused.

Ash just smiled to her and suddenly Pikachu jumped down from his back, Ash looked at his pall and said "This is a pokémon. There are many pokémon around in my world and Pikachu here is just one of the five hundred kinds there is. I will explain more later, but right now you had to stop someone called 'Nightmare Moon' right?"

Everyone turned to Twilight, who nodded and said "I explained it quickly to him, he will help and I personally think he can be a help with these ´pokémon´ he have. That huge bird you saw before was one of them he has. If he can command such creatures around, we have a bigger chance of winning" The others saw the logic in this and nodded in agreement, before turning around and hurried deeper into the forest. Ash followed them with the pink pony bouncing next to him.

Ash secretly wondered how she could keep up with him running as she only jumped, but his thoughts were ended as she said "Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie! You are new here! I can't wait to get back to Ponyville after we beat this meanie pants so I can hold party for you! You will not know it, since you are new here, but I love to hold parties and love to have fun!" She said happily as she somehow managed to bounce around him excited and still keep up.

Ash just laughed in return and said "Well Pinkie. I would love to come to one of your parties later, but as you said we have to stop this Nightmare Moon" Pinkie smiled happily to him and suddenly disappeared, only to appear several meters in front of him, wondering how she did this, he set his speed up and caught up with the others.

It was not much later that Ash had caught up with them and they were all walking in between two large cliffs, Ash looked around, unable to stop feeling a little nervous, expecting an attack in a place like this. He was used to that kind of things with Team Rocket hunting him for all his life since he was ten. Pinkie noticed this and asked "Why the frown? Don't you think this is exciting? I think it's exciting!"

Ash smiled to her, really beginning to like the pink pony, she was always so happy and cheerful. He almost wished he had someone like her to travel with in his youth. There was quite some times when he needed to be cheered up, she would surely have been able to do it. He answered with a still small nervous tone "Nothing really. It's just in my world when I used to walk in areas like this with a cliff on each side, a trio of members from a criminal organization called Team Rocket would attack me or set up a trap for me, to try and steal Pikachu"

Pinkie's smiled vanished a little and she said "Those big meanies. You can't just steal somepony's friend from another pony" Ash smiled to her and she smiled in return.

However their conversation was interrupted by a loud scream from the other ponies, Ash turned around quickly and saw to his shock a lion with the wings of a bat and the tail of a scorpion. He heard Twilight yell "A manticore!"

That was all it took as the manticore let out a furious growl and jumped towards them with Rarity as its target. It swiped its claw at her, which she was just able to dodge and then jumped up and gave it a hard kick in the face while she yelled "Take that you ruffian!"

The manticore took a step back, growled in pain, before he looks furious at Rarity and let out a horrendous growl and showered Rarity in spit, she gulped and retreated easily. Just as the manticore was about to follow her, Ash jumped in and landed on its back, gave it a hard kick to the back of its head, before jumping off, giving Applejack the time she needed to throw a lasso around its neck and jump onto its back. The manticore began to jump around to get the pony off its back, but

Applejack kept stubbornly stuck to its back, but it didn't last for long as she got thrown into the air, flew past Rainbow Dash and said "All yours partner" Ash couldn't help but snort at this.

Rainbow Dash gave a salute and flew over with ridiculous speed towards the manticore, just able to dodge a claw and began to circle around it with great speed, forming a rainbow colored twister around it. The manticore began to get annoyed and swung its tail against the twister, luckily hitting Rainbow Dash sending her to the ground with a dazed look.

Twilight and the others glared at the manticore, lowering their heads to prepare for charge. The manticore set itself in defense position to prepare for the upcoming attack, just as the ponies started to charge, the yellow coated pony with pink hair flew out and yelled "WAIT!" Each of them stopped in shock, looking at her as she walked closer to the manticore, which growled in annoyance at her, but didn't see her as a big threat or someone who would attack. To the ponies shock she just looked at the manticore with a soft smile and said with an even softer voice "It's ok…" and nuzzled his paw with her nose.

The beast pulled back for a second, before his anger turned into a look of pain and sadness and he held out his claw, to everypony's shock, they saw a large black thorn sticking into his paw. Fluttershy looked at it with sadness and said "Aww you poor, poor little baby"

"Little?" Couldn't Rainbow Dash help but comment, making Ash snort in amusement.

"Now this might hurt for juust a second" She said with a soft voice and then proceeded to pull out the thorn with her mouth. The manticore gave a loud roar and lifted Fluttershy up with both his claws.

Everyone screamed "Fluttershy!" Before they heard her giggled and saw the manticore was licking her in affection for her help. She laughed and said "you're just a little old baby kitty aren't you? Yes you are. Yes you are!" Twilight stood and waited on her, her hair now stood wildly up thanks for the spit from the manticore.

Twilight asked her with a curious voice "How did you know about the thorn?"

She smiled back and said "I didn't. Sometimes we all need to be shown a little kindness" Twilight smiled softly and Ash, able to hear them, couldn't agree more, even if he didn't voice it.

It wasn't soon after they came to a more muddy area they had to travel through, Ash really didn't mind, being used to get dirty, but Rarity was another case as she said "Eww. My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck!" Not even a second later the trees blinding them from the moon light, leaving them in total darkness "Well… I didn't mean it that literally…"

They all began to talk over each other and Ash could barely make out Twilight saying "That ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even notice!"

Suddenly a voice in front of them said, and by the southern accent Ash knew it was Applejack "Ah think ah stepped in something…" Suddenly a frightened scream came from behind, it belonged to Fluttershy.

"It's just mud…" Applejack said and continued, only to let out a yelp in fright and backed away, Ash turned around and saw some kind of tree monster, it had sharp teethes and had long arms with sharp claws reaching out for them. Within a second they were surrounded by them and they all backed into a circle. Ash was preparing to summon a pokémon to attack them with, when they all heard a laugher and was surprised to see Pinkie Pie standing in front of the monster and making faces while laughing.

Twilight looked in horror and said "Pinkie are you crazy? Run!"

Pinkie Pie turned around and said with a smile "Oh girls. Don't you see?" Suddenly music started to appear and Pinkie began to slowly bounce up and down in the same place.

When I was a little filly
And the sun was going down

Twilight looked deadpanned and groaned "Tell me she's not…"

The darkness and the shadows
They would always make me frown

"She is…" said Rarity.

I'd hide under my pillow
From what I thought I saw
But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way
To deal with fears at all

"Then what is?" asked an impatient Rainbow Dash.

She said, "Pinkie, you've got to stand up tall
Learn to face your fears
You'll see that they can't hurt you
Just laugh and make them disappear."
Ha, ha, ha!

To everypony's shock the monster on the tree just disappeared in a cloud of pink smoke, leaving behind a normal tree.

So giggle at the ghosty,
Guffaw at the grossly,
Crack up at the creepy,
Whoop it up with the weepy,
Chortle at the *kooky*,
Snortle at the spooky

And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just make you want to...hahahaha...laugh!

Soon all the creepy tree's was gone and they all lay on the ground laughing their flanks off. Twilight turned to Ash and asked with a chuckle "Ash?"

Ash looked at her with a smile and said "Yes Twilight?"

"You're an ok guy" She said, looking up in the skies "I doubted you at first. But I actually believe you are not really from this world now… You just seem different than other ponies… Not that I mind"

Rainbow Dash looked at both of them and said "Yeah. I was suspicious too, but you really helped us out with that manticore and the cliff. So I guess you have earned some trust. Friends?"

Ash looked over at her and said with a smile "Friends. All of you. I may not know you well, but as I say. After fighting evil creatures and going on adventures, even two random people who never met can become the best friends"

All of them smiled and nodded in agreement. They all got up on their hooves and continued towards the ruins, ready to face everything they might meet. No one noticed Twilight smiled softly and let a tear run down her cheek to hit the ground.
