Rainbow Dash has always been proud of her physical abilities and her fighting prowess; however that pride of hers has been tested against the sheer might of her bubbly friend Pinkie Pie. As much as Dash hates to admit it she is clearly outclassed by her earth pony friend in every way. Still, she wants to know how much training she will have to do to get close to her ability -- so Rainbow challenges Pinkie to a fight far from Ponyville. Its nothing serious, just a friendly contest of strength to see just where they are at. Rainbow Finds out all right.
Inspired by a very particular fight in One Punch Man that seems all the more fun with pastel colored ponies.
Chapters (1)
I'm not too fond of the "Pinkie and Rainbow randomly fight because why not" setup (or the lack thereof), but I guess it's a crossover and as just a fight scene this works amazingly well - especially when it's written this lively.
Pietama and Rainborg ftw.
Haha, I haven't seen what this is based off of, but the overall layout was entertaining for someone who doesn't understand the initial reference. Good job!
After reading that, I guess I can't say I'm surprised One Punch man was the inspreation.
I've read a bit of the manga, even though I haven't gone for the anime as of yet.
Still it was a fun story. Pinkie Pie can be pretty scary sometimes if you think about it.
I like this as a descrption of what could occur if Pinkie used Earth Pony magic to pull energy from the World, or even Reality, given her 4th wall.
7033517 Yay! that's what I was going for. I didn't want the flavor of the scene to be lost in translation just because its a reference to something else.
I read the title and thought "ONE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!"
I'm so reading this after I write the next chapter of Dream Come True tonight
Needs editing, but I liked it anyway.

That's actually the best kind of stories - even if you don't know the reference, your readers can still enjoy it.
7033890 Is there any error you could point out so I know what to look for in future fics? Sometimes when you read your own story you see what you think should be there and not what actually is there -- know what I mean?

Off the top of my head, I can remember seeing a whole bunch of randomly capitalized words ("Cyan" twice referring to Rainbow Dash comes to mind; words shouldn't be capitalized in the middle of a sentence unless it's a proper name) and one wrong their/there/they're.
7034471 Gotcha, i'll comb through for that. Thanks!
My thought is that oddly Earth Ponies have the most magic hence why they were taken last by Tirek as a group. Their magic may be the least controlled and flashy but it has a great power to it.
I thought this story was short but fun. I always think that Dash and Pinkie make a great duo in a story.
7034599 They've certainly got some of the most diverse abilities I've seen out of the bunch. Extra sensory perception, power over plants and the earth, ritualistic magic, body manipulation (Pinkie stretching and blowing up like a balloon), extreme strength (maud chucking that boulder and making a mushroom cloud comes to mind), and a slew of other things too numerous to mention. I'm really hoping they explore earth pony abilities at some point in this up coming season!
Imagine Pinkie and her sisters sparing. It'd be like DBZ with earthbending
I can imagine the Pie family rock farming as training-in-disguise. Can we have artwork of Pietama and Rainos?
7033928 I know right!
They only control the Earth.
Which controls the atmosphere.
Which contains air.
Which is something living things need.
Which means that Earth ponies indirectly(But pretty damn close) control everything.
They just don't give a buck.
Very well written, loved the story.
The funny thing is I'm listening to the one punch man theme song as I read it which made it even more epic

Fun.
7673025 dayum.......
My reaction to this fic.
Also Pinkie has reality bending powers to boot on top of her ridiculous strength.

Amusingly, there was already a bit of that present before this fic came out:

Oh. I'm just a tease. I only bake those who seek to upset the balance of the world into cupcakes. I assure you you're perfectly safe.
Love the story. Nice but of silly fun.
I don't think I can accept earth ponies being this strong, but it does make sense that they'd be the strongest of the three tribes, in terms of raw physical strength. Even a weak earth pony might still put up a decent fight for another pony from the other tribes. And who knows what kind of earth magic shenanigans they could get up to?
Don't buck with earth ponies. They know how to buck back.
ONE BOOOOP!!!
