“Come on, Twilight,” Rainbow started, “what’s the big surprise?”
“Patience, Rainbow Dash,” Twilight giggled, “you’ll see as soon as you all take a seat.”
“Fine,” Rainbow rolled her eyes as she sat down next to Pinkie.
“Good,” Twilight turned to face a large box with a large curtain draped over it, “now, without further ado, I give you...” she quickly tore the drape off of the box, revealing what appeared to be a phone booth, “The Pokétransfer!”
“Oo!” Pinkie jumped up, “A phone booth! Hang on a second."
“Pinkie, it’s not a-” Twilight started, but was cut off as Pinkie rushed past her and into the machine.
“Hi, this is Pinkie Pie. I’m at the Ponyville library; I’d like 4 large pizzas with everything on them.” Pinkie hopped out of the machine and turned to Twilight, “well, that takes care of lunch. It should be here in no time.”
“Pinkie,” Twilight facehooved, “it’s not a phone booth. It’s an interdimensional teleportation system.”
“A what now?” Applejack raised an eyebrow and tilted her head.
“An interdimensional teleportation system,” Twilight repeated. “It’s a portal to the Unova region.”
“But Twilight,” Rarity rubbed her chin, “why do you need a machine to go to the Unova region? You already have a spell that can do that.”
“It’s not for me, Rarity, it’s for all you girls,” Twilight proudly explained. “With this, you’ll be able to go back and forth to Unova without needing my help.”
“Aw yeah,” Rainbow grinned widely, “that’s awesome! Now I can get all the awesome Pokémon I want and become the toughest trainer around!”
“And I can make friends with lots and lots of new creatures,” Fluttershy added. “Thank you, Twilight, I can’t wait to go.”
Twilight smiled and nodded her head. “You’re welcome, Fluttershy. As soon as it’s finished, you’ll all be able to go to Unova as often as you like.”
“What do you mean ‘as soon as it’s finished?’” Applejack asked, “It sure looks finished to me.”
“Almost, Applejack,” Twilight placed a hoof on the machine, “but at the moment I still need to program a way to convert it to travel size.”
“Travel size? Why in tarnation would it need to travel?”
“Simple, because when it sends you to the Unova region, it gets sent there itself. Otherwise, how else would you get back home? I need to find a way to make it smaller once you’re in Unova so you don’t end up losing track of where you left it.”
“Um, pardon me, Twilight,” Rarity interrupted, “but I just thought of a small problem with this.”
“A problem?” Twilight tilted her head, “What kind of problem?”
“Well, if I recall correctly, you said that there are no ponies in Unova, and when Rainbow Dash was there many of the people who saw her assumed she was a Pokémon.”
“Yeah, that’s right,” Rainbow nodded, “they all thought I was some kind of new Pokémon.”
“Precisely,” Rarity continued, “so, if we travel there frequently, won’t there be a danger of the people living there confusing us for Pokémon? What if one of them actually tries to...” she gulped nervously, “catch us?” She shuddered and continued “I couldn’t possibly live like that, being treated like a pet or forced to battle others.” She cringed a bit at the thought, but suddenly felt something tapping her on the shoulder. She turned to look and saw a Pokéball, covered in a magenta aura, with the button on the front pressed against her shoulder. “AH!” she jumped to the side in fear. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and realized that the Pokéball was still hovering in the same place as before.
Twilight smirked, “See? Pokéballs have no effect on us. They’re designed to catch Pokémon, not ponies. We may not be humans, but we’re not Pokemon either, so we’re just as immune to the effects of Pokeballs as humans are.”
Rarity wiped a few beads of sweat from her forehead and sighed in relief. “Well, that’s certainly good to hear, but how did you know that?”
“I didn’t,” Twilight winked, “I hadn’t the foggiest idea; you were just the guinea pig.”
Rarity’s eye twitched and she let out a nervous chuckle “Um, hehe, good one, Twilight, you really had me there. For a moment I actually thought you were serious. You were joking, weren’t you, Twilight?” She gulped nervously.
Twilight stood still for a moment, her eyes darting side to side, before she spoke up. “Anyway,” she turned back to the machine, “even if Pokéballs did work on us, we still won’t need to worry about humans trying to use them on us.”
“Why not?” Pinkie inquired.
“Because they won’t want to catch other humans.”
“Humans?” Rainbow raised an eyebrow, “what’s that have to do with anything?”
“Well, because I realize ponies are in short supply in Unova, I programmed the machine to disguise us as humans when we’re there.”
“What do you mean you programmed it to do that?” A disembodied voice asked, causing everypony to jump. Suddenly, the shadow of the Pokétransfer began to move, shifting into the form of a Draconequus. It then rose from the ground and changed color, revealing that it was none other than Discord. He grabbed Twilight and gave her a noogie, teasing “Oh Twilight, didn’t you ever learn to give credit where credit is due?”
Twilight struggled a bit, but managed to escape Discord’s grip. “Oh yes, I forgot to mention that I did have a little assistance making the Pokétransfer.”
“A little?” Discord smirked, “I’m the one who copied your Spacial Rend spell and focused it into the machine. Without me this would be just a phone booth” he crossed his arms and put on an exaggerated frown.
Twilight rolled her eyes, “Yes, I know, and I’m very thankful for your help, Discord.”
Discord smirked “See? Was that so hard?”
“No,” Twilight replied, “sorry I forgot to mention that you had helped at first. Anyway,” she turned to face the others and continued, “Discord gave the machine an illusion spell, which gives ponies the appearance of humans when they use it. When they return to Equestria, the disguise wears off.”
“But Twilight,” Rainbow frowned, “how will I be able to fly if I’m a human?”
“And how are you and I going to use magic?” Rarity added.
“No need to worry,” Discord spoke up, “it is only a disguise. You will not lose your natural pony abilities. Those of you with wings will be able to fly by means of winged shoes, and those of you with horns will be able to channel your magic through your fingertips. And of course, Pinkie and Applejack will retain their Earth Pony strength and stamina.”
“Cool,” Rainbow smiled, “I can’t wait! This is gonna be so awesome!”
Twilight giggled “Yes, it will be awesome, just as soon as I finish it.”
“How long should that take?” Rainbow asked excitedly.
Twilight placed her hoof to her chin in thought. “About-” she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
“Ponyville Pizza,” came a voice from the other side of the door, “I’ve got 4 large pizzas for somepony named Pinkie Pie.”
“Oh boy,” Pinkie ran to the door.
Rainbow leaned toward Twilight and whispered “I thought you said it wasn’t a phone booth.”
“It wasn’t,” Twilight responded.
Pinkie hopped back into the center of the room, four pizza boxes balancing on her mane. “Lunch is here, let’s eat.” She turned and bounced into the kitchen.
“Sounds good to me,” Rainbow grinned as she followed Pinkie.
“I could go for some grub myself,” Applejack added as she trotted after them. Rarity and Fluttershy both nodded and followed the others.
Twilight giggled, “Well, I guess it’s just you and me, Discord. Discord?” She turned and realized Discord was also following the others to the kitchen. She frowned, but a rumbling in her stomach snapped her out of her reverie. Shrugging, she said to herself “Oh well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.”
Outside the library, a trio of fillies were looking in the window, listening intently to the conversation. “Whoa, did you hear that?” Scootaloo asked.
“Sure did,” Sweetie Belle replied, “that machine can send ponies to the Pokémon place.”
“Unova,” Apple Bloom corrected, “and that gives me an idea.”
“What is it?” Scootaloo inquired.
“If we can use that machine, we might just be able to get our cutie marks as Pokémon trainers.”
“That would be so cool!” Scootaloo grinned, “Imagine being the first ponies ever to get Pokémon cutie marks! We’ll be famous.”
“Well, ah don’t know about famous, but we’ll definitely earn some bragging rights for a while.”
“Hey, as long as it helps us get our cutie marks, then I like it,” Sweetie Belle smiled.
“Me too,” Scootaloo responded, “and even if it doesn’t get us a cutie mark, all the Pokémon we catch will still be one awesome consolation prize.”
“Exactly,” Apple Bloom nodded, “now, we’re gonna need to find a way to use that machine without Twilight finding out.”
“Why?” Sweetie Belle asked.
“You know what our sisters and their friends are like, they’ll never let us go. If we ask them, they’re gonna tell us it’s too dangerous and we’re too young.”
“Yeah,” Scootaloo frowned, “they’ll never let us go.”
“Well they won’t have to,” Apple Bloom grinned, “because we’re gonna sneak in there and use that machine before they even have a chance to stop us.”
yeahz iz good loving the story so far
2457104
Really it's not that I hate Ash, but it would be totally worth it seeing other pokemon characters from the manga or even the main series games
Also, WHY IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA, ARCEUS AND GOD HIMSELF IS THE COVER ART THE MANE 6 AND THE CMC LIKE EEVEE AND ITS EVOLUTIONS
2459197
Nope, not including any of those either. For one thing, I've never read the Pokemon Manga, so I couldn't include them.
Oh dear, the CMC's are gonna get in so much trouble.
2459277 They are always getting into trouble.
On a side note, your Avatar is perfect for this story
2459220 It is a filler cover until we find something better.
I shall get started on the CMC Chapter now. Don't expect it to be done anytime soon though because I have major allergy issues. Before anypony asks, yes I am in charge of writing the Cutie Mark Crusader Chapters for this fanfic. and judging from what I have to work with I already know how to start it out. Stay Tuned!
2457747 Then... that would make them become pokemon themselves in which this cover would be perfect. Too bad that's not the case huh?
Didn't the crusaders hear that it WASN'T FINISHED? Um, plot hole?
me:idiots CMC you are idiots I MEAN LIKE COME ON DIDN'T YOU HEAR TWILIGHT YOU BE STUCK THERE BECAUSE YOU'LL FORGET WHERE IT IS
CMC: no we won't
me: prove it
*two hours later*
scoots: um were are we
sweetie: it should be right here
applebloom: WE'RE LOST
Me: ha ha ha ha, told you so *use the poke matrix to take them to there rightful dimension*

The only part that isn't finished is making it travel sized, which is more of a convenience than a necessity.
2459629
It's the same avatar as my Tumblr and a few other accounts on other sites
Nice, I like how its progressing!
favorite part is where Discord helping them with the device, it was clever!
but it was kinda low for Twi not to mention D in the process of making the teleporter, of course, it was her idea but not mentioning those who does all dirty work is not very nice! I understand that she still has a little trust for him but hey!
Interesting staff about ponies being transform into humans when they transported. I guess they will need a while to get use to their new form. (I know it an illusionary spell)
Also, thanks for making clear about pokeballs and ponies. Glad that it does not work as on pokemons, other wise it would be silly and illogical.
Looking forward for CMC adventure!
Rarity is best... test pony?

Admittedly, a big part of the reason why I bothered mentioning the thing about how it makes absolutely no sense for Pokeballs to work on ponies is because I was venting my hatred of a Pokemon/MLP crossover I've seen in which Rainbow actually does get caught. My rage at seeing poor little Dashie suffer that kind of indignity is actually what made me determined to make it right by writing Gotta Dash 'em All.
Basically, I acted like Bender on Futurama: "I'm gonna make my own Pokemon crossover, with blackjack, and hookers. In fact, forget the Pokemon crossover."
The ironic thing about that: I enjoyed Cupcakes. I like reading fics where Rainbow gets brutally murdered, but I can't stand seeing her become someone else's slave. In that means I'm more like the guy in Braveheart: "They can take our lives, but they can never take our FREEDOM!"
Although, ulterior motives aside, this fic has pleasantly grown into something much larger than a simple revenge scheme. It's become my personal masterpiece. No, it's not a masterpiece by overall fic standards, but it is by my personal standards.
why is it gore?
2462099
Technically it's not, but they don't have a tag for SFW violence.
2461791
Agreed, through I dont like toucher but I got your point.
when the mane six get to unova will ash and the others recognize them or not
SEEEEEEEQUELLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
by the way, why the gore rating?
2462433
As I've mentioned, he's actually not going to be in this one.
2462447
They don't have a tag for SFW violence.
2462649
Nope. Here's a hint: I said they're canon Pokemon characters; I didn't say they were human.
2462798 but you didn't put gore on gotta dash em all.
2459629 yes it is
[youtube=www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYsUn6sEGtA]
cmc will be rivals
This is not going to bode well for the CMC At all... They are so doomed, But I might aswell say, IB4 Scootaloo gets a Torchic
2463969 angelchu
Why disguised as humans? Persoally I'd like to see ponies in the pokemon world. I mean eventually if enough ponies go there everyone will get used to it.
i've been meaning to ask this, why are the ponies eeveelutions in the cover art? is it just cuz they look cool, or does it actually have something to do with the story?
2477330
Just because it was the best MLP/Pokemon picture I could find with all 3 crusaders and all 6 of the mane six.
2478303 o ok. the crusaders look really cute
"No. Stop. You'll hurt yourself." <---imagine this is said like Willy Wonka from the first (and more musical) rendition.
2471402 Sorry, I am not going to give Scootaloo a Torchic... instead I am going to give her *censored for spoilers* And that will be what Scootaloo gets! Anyway UPDATE! I have finished the first CMC chapter, just have to wait for The Author to edit it and publish it.
can't wait til the next chapter I mean what starters are they going to get
(if you give scootaloo a torchic your prejudice because someday she will fly but it will be funny for her to have a torchic)
2491500 As i said before, i am NOT giving her a torchic lol besides the next chapter is already done just gotta wait for the author of the fanfic to upload it
yeah its done now we wait
2495627
Kinda. I can't upload it until the editor is done working on it.
That's why this is going much slower than the last one: because it's a team effort with 2 authors and an editor, each chapter needs to go through more people before publishing than the previous one did. Sorry for the inconvenience; I promise once Summer vacation starts in 1.5 months any updates that haven't come yet will be quickly taken care of.
2495627 Don't worry though, I made sure that the chapter I wrote is going to be worth every minute you have waited. Now excuse me while i rack my brains for an idea on how to start the 4th chapter
2497235
so is the next chapter of them going to Unova or the cmc got separated to another region
2497241 They will be going to Unova although there will be other regional pokemon there if memory serves.
SO MANY DOCTOR WHOOVES REFERENCES. not sure if intentional but still.
Fluttershy as a trainer..... are you familiar with this picture
..... aw shit.

Silly you, that isn't a phone booth, that's a TARDIS
3209493 Silly nukestar, can't you read, its obviously a Police Box.
Oh great! The CMC are now involved! You really wrote Discord well too.

Fluttershy needs an Eevee
