The Power of the Heart and Mind.

By Firedancer

It was just another morning when it happened, I was always quite the lazy one. Never wanting to get up in the morning no matter how much it was needed. This particular morning was no exception. Today was the day I can begin my adventure as a trainer. My name's Rob. I am 15 years old and I will be next pokemaster but that destiny was not for me in this adventure.

I got up with a rush not wanting to be late on this particular day, Getting dressed I head down stairs on my two story home on the edge of Pedalburg town. I head into the kitchen to get breakfast. Just the usual stuff not really needed to be described. I wolf down my food and put my stuff in the sink to be washed and head outside where I see my dad coming back from town.

"Hey Dad! I'm heading off now kay". I call over to my dad as I walk by to which I get a casual nod in return. my dad never really cared what I do as long as I dont cause any trouble for the family or myself. My dad lives alone since my mother died in an accident when I was seven years old. I check my watch as it read 8:30am. 'I'm gonna be early so I might as well detour a bit' I thought to myself. I head into the forest. I always liked it here with all the different pokemon and wanders to see. I used to stay out here for hours just to look at all the things here. In my remince I never notice the russling in the booshes to my left and just about step on a young Ralts in my daze.

"Woah there! Careful". I lean down to take a look at her/him. "are you a boy or a girl?" I ask myself curious but not wanting to check because it would be really weird and perverted. I suppose this one was old enough to gain its in built psychic ability for she answered my question.

"Im a girl thank you very much. Now if you don't mind i've got somewhere to be" she said into my mind as she begins to walk away. A minute passes after she walks away annoyed at her answer when I hear a scream. I ran that is all that I thought to after hearing that frightened scream, I did not run away I had to help so I followed the noise and boy did I not get disapointed. It was that Ralts from earlier but It was surround by a small pack of Poochyena. I looked on trying to figure out a way to help her.

I look around at my surrounding and see some large branches I could use as a bludgen to scare away the Poochyena, hopefully these ones dont know any dark moves yet so I might be able to get close enough to save her. I grab a large one maybe the size of my armspan. I carefully creep out trying not to let them hear me but Arceus really isn't on my side for when I get to about close enough the worst thing happens. I stepped on a twig, I didn't think I couldnt for if I wasted time then I was Poochyena food.

The first swing missed but it was enough to distract them from the cowering Ralts and converge on me. "Ralts!" I call "Get out of here! I'll take care of them just go!" as I say this one of the bastards decided to take a bite out of me and bite me in the arm, thankfully not the swinging arm but by Arceus it hurt A LOT.

Ralts is stunned to find a human willing to protect her so readily and instead of running as told tries to formulate a plan to help. Knowing Psychic type moves cant affect them in the slightest maybe she could use the environment against them. Emboldened with admiration for the human she reaches out to the environment and sense several items that may become of use. a.k.a. Branches and rocks. Using all the power that she could she reaches out and plucks them from the surrounding area gaining a sizable arsenal of projectiles to use against the Pooches.

"Human, I think you better duck!" she calls out seeing that said human is starting to have trouble dealing with the pooches showing a mass of cuts and bits all over his arms, legs and face. He hears this utterly exhausted from the fight but quickly regains his senses after seeing the arsenal this little Ralts is carrying in her power. He ducks just in time too as the first wave of rocks and sticks are lauched at the unsuspecting Poochyena causing a few to cry out and run off, with the second wave only two are left to face and quickly knocks them out with a quick swipe of his branch which finally breaks after such a ordeal. Next I see is him falling to knees bleeding all over moaning in pain.

"Help me!" I say in a croak while being wracked with pain from all the wounds inflicted. My vision in dimming, I think it is the end for I start losing feeling to my extremities. I have fallen face first to the ground but I dont feel it as I start to drift away but before the blissful sleep takes me I hear a noise. I look up weakly and see Ralts walk towards me. "Ralts help me, please?" I plead in hopes of help, she just stares at me. That is the last thing I see as I drift off into unconciousness.

I wake up in a comfortable bed not knowing where I am. I try to get up but I feel as though I have been knocked around by a rhyhorn for fun. I groan which gets the attention of a particular Ralts which was sitting by the bed since been dragged in. "Ow. Where am I?" I croak out feeling parched all of a sudden.

"After you passed out I sent out a message to all surrounding Pokemon to get help. They got to you just in time might I add" I hear in my mind then feel a weight on my belly and crawling to my chest where I see her again.

"Has my dad been informed?" I ask hoping he gets here quickly. I look back at her. "Why did you stay with me? I woud've thought you would run after I told you to save yourself?"

"Your father has been informed and to answer that last one. I have always been the stubborn one". She smiles sweetly at me which makes me feel better somehow.

"Thank you, I appreciate it...." with that I loose conciousness again being terribly tired after the attack. When I awake I find my Dad sitting in the corner having a nap. He was always silly like that. "Dad?" I croak out getting the attention of my father and waking him up.

"ROB! Your awake!" he cries happily see my aware of his outburst he quietens down. "Are you feeling any better?"

"I feel terrible to be honest" I say which makes me cough. "You know what may make me feel just fantastic is some water". My request is answered quickly enough as he rushes out and brings back a bottle of water for me, which I drink gratefully just coughing up a little in my rush. When I had enough I looked around the room and notice that the Ralts is gone. "Dad, where is that Ralts that was in here earlier?"

"She went outside for a bit. Why? Are you planning on keeping her? She is quite the cute one".

"Daaaaad! Don't do that! That is just wrong". I exclaim. "And for your information, yes I may want to keep her if that is what she wants to". "Ralts! Can you come in here?" I call out to the hallway outside which gets a muffled reply before the Ralts that started this all walked in.

“Hello, are you feeling better?”

“I am feeling much better if not a little tired and hungry”.
Ralts then nods at this then comes up to the bed and beckons for my dad to put her on the bed which he complies to do. When shes comfortable on my lap in front it gives me what I need to ask. “Ralts I was just wondering. Whether you’d Like to Join me in my quest?”
Ralts mulls this over for a bit but it doesn’t take long for her to make her decision. “You know i’ve never met a human or pokemon so kind towards me. You tried to fight a pack of Poochyena to save me getting yourself injured and nearly dying in the process. I can’t think of any other way to thank you so yes I will join you”. I am really happy that she said that so I turn over to my dad to ask for a pokeball for her. A moment later one is given over from his spares.

Pointing the ball at her I beckon for her to get closer but just before she is near enough to be captured she shies away. “What’s wrong Ralts. It’s only necessary for now so you can be tagged and people know you’r mine okay now please can you come a little closer”. She complies if not shyly and I lightly bop the ball on her arm which makes the ball open and suck her in.



Meanwhile in Equestria

Twilight is having a problem with a spell but can’t figure out what is wrong. She has tested and included all reasons and solutions in the equation but it still wont work.

“AAaaaaarrrgh, Come on. What is wrong with it!? There must have been a mistake in the dimensional equation and time/space polarities. I will have to study harder and faster than ever. I want to know if there are really more life than we know!” She spends the next few hours trying to figure it out when her number one assistant finally moves in to make her go to bed seeing it really early in the morning. “Come on Twilight. You have plenty of time for this project Just leave for a bit?”

“Fine i’m going to bed but when I wake i’m back to it!”

“I won’t have it any other way” Spike says with a shake of his head.

Back with Rob and the Ralts

One Week Later.

I was out of the hospital with only a few scars over my body as a reminder of what I did to save my Ralts. Waking up at home with my ralts sleeping in the bed with me. She never liked the pokeball so she stayed with me wherever I go which includes sleeping in the same bed to my embarrassment. Last night when Ralts climbed in my bed I nearly threw her off in my surprise but changed my mind after getting such a cute stare from her I couldn't resist. Turning to her “You know what, I was wondering if you wanted a name seeing as you’re staying with me I need something to call you by?” She turns to me groggily almost making me laugh at her.

“What do you want to call me? I wouldn't know any good human names to give myself”. she says into my mind.

“How about Mary?” even saying that name I knew she wouldn't like it

“No that sounds silly” she giggles. “How about Sammy?”

“That’ll do fine”. I say happily I turn over to her and snuggle her belly which causes her to giggle.

Chapter two... Continue the party build.

The surprise.

I look over to my clock by the bed, it said 7:30am I look back over at Sammy where she is snuggled into the sheets. “Come on Sammy, time to get up”. I gently shake her to which she grumbles cutely and rolls over to sleep again. “Sam, get up or else you aren’t getting any sweets when we leave”. At this she instantly gets up and runs to get ready. I chuckle at this seeing her acting silly like this. I get up as well knowing full well if I haven’t gotten up by the time she’s ready she’ll thrown me out the window, I know this cause on my third day with her she did exactly that. I was lucky there was a river next to the house or i’d have broken something.

Rushing into the shower I undress and bathe for a good 20 minutes seeing as this’ll be my last day at home after recuperating from the attack. I get up and dry off, as i’m taking the towel away to dress the door opens and my Sammy walks in on me not knowing that I was there. “Sammy, Get Out!” I cry in alarm from seeing her standing stock still staring at me as though she’d just walked into a bears lair. That was all she needed to get back to reality, blush profusely and run away. I quickly throw on clothes and chase after. “Get back here!” I yell while after chasing her down the stairs and out the front door where I see her hiding behind a pile of logs by the side of the house. “I know where you are, get over here so I can talk to you”.

The leans out of cover and sheepishly walks over to me where I stand red in the face from embarrassment and anger. “I’m sorry, I thought you were dressed so I came right in. Please don’t punish me it was an accident!” she pleads. I have no idea why she thought I was going to punish her but I didn’t let that thought stick around too long.

“It was only an accident. I’m sorry for yelling at you, I got surprised when you walked in on me but that doesn’t matter now. Get our bags please. We have a big day ahead”. I state as I head back inside for breakfast and put on my Jacket and Shoes. I can hear Sammy upstairs attempting to drag our bags downstairs which I giggle at seeing that she forgot that she had her abilities to move them. “You know you could always use your abilities to move them” I shout upstairs which i’m rewarded with a load groan in annoyance from her. Eventually we are ready looking at the clock before we leave we wasted about an hour and a half. We take the path into town with Sammy on my shoulder while avoiding the bushes making sure not to disturb the pokemon in there. We make it into town and head straight to the pokemart to buy supplies courtesy of my father I don’t need to pay for anything, I buy a knife and machete for all the really high grass and grab about a dozen pokeballs and potions to go then head outside. To which I find some kid getting harassed by another kid.

Now normally I’d let that go but this kid looked like an ass so stormed right up there and pushed him away from the kid. “Sammy, please restrain this punk for me?” A second later the punk kid is strung up by his ankles and got a gag over his mouth to shut him up. “Thank you”. Sammy just nods at me. Turning to the punk i address him in an angered and annoyed tone. “Now kid, what do you think you’re doing bullying this kid?”

“I-I-I-I I Can’t remember why I did it. I just did”.

“Really well you’re just lucky you found me in a good mood today because I wasn’t I would have my Ralts walk you through town by your ankles in only your underwear, got me clear buster. Leave now and stop”. With that simple statement I had Sammy drop him and we walk away back out of town and after a pokemon to add to the team.

“Rob, what pokemon are you gonna be after?” Sammy inquired of me.

“We’ll be working at getting you stronger today. Now lets go”. With that I step into the forest with Ralts sitting on my shoulder. I look to my left then my right and see a trainer and a load of grass and trees. “That’s where we need to go. Only bugs should be in here so it’ll be a breeze”. After a few steps in we notice a caterpie crawling through the grass and decide to battle it, I let down Sammy and call out to the Caterpie getting its attention to come over. I initiate the battle by telling Ralts to use Confusion, Sammy powers up confusion making her eyes and hands glow blue and the Caterpie to be surrounded by the same glow, picked and thrown into a tree, the Caterpie throws itself at Sammy trying to use tackle but is picked up by confusion and thrown away again rendering it unconscious.

“Good job Ralts, Lets go”. I then pick up Ralts and move on. We continues this all day until it gets dark. “I think it’s time to go find a place to sleep now?”

“Good idea, you find a clearing to set up camp while I take a nap in your arms”. To this she climbs down and into my arms where I cradle her knowing she is exhausted I don’t argue.

“You did well today, Have a good nap”. I whisper to her as I continue to walk, It doesn’t take long to find a convenient clearing to set up. I carefully lay Sammy down on some soft grass while I take the two man tent from my bag and set up. Before long it’s up and ready for us. I head back over to Sammy and pick her up which wakes her.

“Ugh, I’m hungry” she whines, to which I slime at. Don’t know why I do though, I guess it’s just her making me happy because of her abilities.

“Yeah I’m hungry to, Just gimme a few minutes and food will be prepared”. I quickly take her into the tent for her to nap in till its ready and lay her down. As soon as her head touches the ground she’s out like a light. “Well you’re a lot more tired than expected” I muse as I pull out a few bags of two minute noodles - for those who haven’t had it before, you’re missing out - and set up the camp fire and grab a pot of water to fill but there isn’t any water left.

Mumbling to myself on being stupid I walk into the forest in the search of water with pot in hand. I don’t get far before hearing rustling in the bushes, I look over and see a baby poochyena crawl out of the bushes looking as though it hasn’t been fed in ages. It looked pathetic so I had to help it, I picked it up to it’s surprise and tries to get away but gives up after seeing that I won’t let go just stares at pathetically. “Hey there little guy, you don’t look too good. How about you come with me and we can get you fed and somewhere to sleep”.

The hungry poochyena smiled tiredly and falls asleep in my arms. I sit the pup in my backpack that I was carrying with me and continue in the search for water, I find it a minute later and fill my water bottles and the pot with the refreshing liquid to take back with me. The rest of the walk went without incident as I get back to the camp seeing Sammy still asleep. I take my bag off and grab out the poochyena pup and put in the tent as well letting it sleep next to Sammy seing no danger in it.

I turn back to the fire which has yet to lit and got to cooking the noodles.. within minutes the noodles are ready and enough doled out for Sammy and I are put in bowls With the exception of the Poochyena getting pokefood in a third bowl. With that done I head back over to the tent but what I see there made me giggle again from the cute sight of the poochyena cuddling into Sammy. I take a quick picture for print later and decide to wake them up.

Meanwhile with Twilight

It has been a week and Twilight hasn’t gotten far in her research. She still didn’t know what was wrong. “Spike! Have you gotten all the books I need yet!” Twilight calls downstairs where Spike is searching high and low for any book related to Time/Space magic.

“Not yet. I can’t seem to find the reference guide to Time/Space magics anywhere!” Spike calls back in a hurry to find that annoying book that he swore was there yesterday. “Twilight are you sure that book isn’t up there with you!?”

“I don’t thi..... Oh there it is!”, This causes the young dragon to faceclaw. “What will I ever do without you Spike”.

Back with Rob and the pokemon

I creep into the tent and lean down to nudge Sammy and the Poochyena awake but the pup beats me to it by making a massive sneeze that nearly makes the Ralts jump out of her skin and have a spaz. She looks over at the aggressor and nearly has a heart attack at what caused it. It was a Poochyena and it was starting to wake up. I but in before anything happens.

“I’ll explain later just come outside so you can eat”. I pick up the hungry, underfed pokemon and walk over to where he/she can eat. “Actually Sam, Can you ask the pup whether it’s a boy or girl?”

“Ugh, sure”. After a quick chat with the hungry pup I get my answer in a gruff annoyed manner. “It’s a she”.

“Oh goody”, Clapping my hands, “I haven’t got any males yet”. I say in a sarcastic tone, I can see it now. I’ll be riding the P.M.S train for the rest of my life... or until I get a male pokemon to hang with. We all finish eating around the same time, to which Ralts crawls back into the tent and the pup falls asleep where she stands. I go and pick her up and bring her into the tent with us and lay her down. I climb into my tent thinking over what has happened recently and hope that things don’t change for the worse..

(Oh boy you have yet to meet your true adventure. Then the fun begins)

Chapter 3 - Hopeful Fix

It was sunrise when I awake to the sound of growling. I slowly and carefully turn to look around the tent to to be surprised to see both Sammy and the pup gone. “Where are they?” I muse to myself agitated thinking of the danger outside but I get my answer as I hear the growling again and look out the tent to see Sammy and the Poochyena doing what I suppose is sparring. “Sam, What are you doing sparring with her? She’s still young and must be tired”.

Sam turns to me and gives a cheeky smile. “She insisted to. Good thing she doesn't know any dark type moves yet or i’d be screwed”. I see the pup coming around to attack her with a tackle but misses as the Ralts dodges easily even in her small form. “Her moves are too sloppy so we are sparring to make her and I better”. Again just barely dodging a tackle.

“Well, I won’t keep you then, just be careful okay?”

“Sure Rob, If only she could actually touch me...ooph”. Her talking to me was all the distraction she needed to be caught unaware and the pup to get a successful tackle making the Ralts stumble. She looks towards the pup with a stare so hard it makes the pup cower sheepishly. At that moment she starts to glow. I know exactly what’s going on and stare with rapt attention as her form changes. She is evolving. Her body got bigger and her legs and arms too. Her bowl top head turns into bangs and her child like dress turns into a skirt. When the changes stops she isn't Ralts anymore she is a Kirlia. I stare in amazement at her new form, mouth dropped. That is all I can do. I just stand and stare.

“Sam, how have you changed now? I didn't know you were ready yet”.

She looks down at her new appearance and smiles not one of those devilish ones that she used to make more along the lines of a happy one. At that moment I felt happy for her, I don't know where it came from but I suppose it has to do with her. I look towards the poor Poochyena that I picked up last night and see her scared out of her mind. I head over and pick her up breaking her out of the trance she was in and she smooches into my chest while carrying her back toward the tent to wait for breakfast. It is not long before the smells of breakfast are wafting all through the clearing making all our mouths water. After our quick breakfast we pack away everything quickly now with the extra help of Poochyena.

“Poochyena, I need to ask something?” The Poochyena hears me and comes over, “I’ll also need you too Sam, as a translator of course”. Sam, comes over grumbling cutely under her breath. “Now Poochyena, here is the important question for you. Do you want to stay? and if so you'll also need a name” at this the pups ears perk up inquisitively and starts saying things I don't understand but thanks to Sam, I don’t need to worry.

“She says she’d love to stay but she has no name for she was rejected at birth so she was never named, she’d love if you had a name for her”.

“How about Pup, i’ve been using that a lot since I found you, how about that?” at that I get a resigned nod.

“She says that it’ll do fine but she thought another name may be better”. Sam chats with the pup for another minute and continues “She was rather liking the name Bane after her mother”

“Well then Bane it is. Actually that name sounds pretty cool. Imagine, the all powerful Bane the Mightyena when she evolves”. I am snapped out of my daydreaming by having a stick thrown at my head from Sam causing me to scowl at her. “Well lets get going, I never really liked the forest anyways”.

With that I picked up Bane and Sam jumped up and sat on my shoulder. I have no idea why I didn’t use the balls, I think I just rather carrying them with me, well until I get to many to carry. We walked through that forest for a good hour before we found the opening again which opened out on the ocean. “God dammit we went the wrong way. How did we go wrong like that. I know I never had a compass with me so I couldn't check our heading”. At this my pokemon look at me strangely. “Don’t look at me like that, it makes me feel uncomfortable. You know what you’re all walking now”. I put down the pokemon and stretch after carrying them for a good hour. “Ah, that feels good”. I look into the near distance and see a boat going by, I raise my arms into the air and call it over and since a lot of people here are nice the boat pulls up beside us.

“Good luck on our part that a ship was nearby aye”.

“Yeah, Really lucky”. I got in response from Sam and a gruff bark from Bane.

“Oh come on guys, at least we have a ship down to Dewford Town, I hear there are some pretty good pokemon there”. “Have some more enthusiasm for our situation”. “We’ll get you some new friends, Battle for more level and..” For all my rambling I get smacked over the head by Sam. “Oh come on Sam!”

Before long our trip comes to an end my stopping at Dewford Town, we hop off the boat and have a look around, it’s a very small town, but the real reason we were here was for the pokemon in the cave: Abra, zubat, aron etc.

“Well I feel like getting my hands on an Abra and a Mawile today, What you guys think?” I look behind me and notice that they disappeared. I turn a full circle and head back in town think they went to the shops. “Aww, that’s right! I neglected to get Sam her sweets, Bugger. She’ll probably be in the pokemart”.

As I expected I found her sitting outside with Bane just staring inside at all the chocolate and sweets. Sams fixated staring and Banes puppy dog eyes was just adorable. I couldn’t stand it any longer so I headed over to where they were sitting. “Sam. Bane, why did you take off like that without asking?”

“I saw the sweets in the window and wanted to get some but as I got here I remembered that I had no money so I waited knowing that you’d find me here”. Sam listens to Bane for a moment “Oh yeah and Bane says sorry”.

“That is OK. Seeing you unharmed is all that matters. Lets get to that cave so we can get more friends for you after I get you some treats seeing as I forgot back home”.

Meanwhile back in Equestria

“I almost have it.. just a few more algorithms and my experiment will be complete. muahahahahah. *hack-hack* Oh Celestia, I gotta stop with the evil laughs”. Twilight says, “Spike have you gotten everything I need for the ritual tomorrow?!”

“Not yet but I will nearly. Just gotta find the right candles for the spell and some hydra poison. Why do we need Hydra poison?” Spike calls back.

“It’s needed as a barrier for traversing the void between dimensions. It works as a protection if you will”.

“Alright then”.

Back with the gang in Hoenn

“How about we get you some, I have more than enough for it”.

“YAAAAAAAY!” Sams yell of happyness draws the attention of the town folk causing her to grin sheepishly. All I get from Bane is an excited bark.

“Well come on if you want anything”. I state happily as I open the the doors to the pokemart, we all instantly head for the section with all the sweets and let Sam chooses out a bag full of chocolate of varying flavours. - who knows when she may get more - while Bane just stands by my side, waiting. With all the treats chosen I paid for them and we left. Heading straight for the cave on the northern edge of the island.

(What will be in store next time for our little team and when will they end up in Equestria? Who knows. Tune in next time for more!)

It was a short walk to the cave mouth and didn’t feel the need to wait so we walked straight in what we didn’t compensate for was the darkness. I looked around in my backpack and found a small torch I had with me, turning it on i’m nearly scared shitless at the sheer amount of zubat in here.

“Woah!” Jumping in fright. “Well that was a surprise”. I got a pretty peeved stare for that. “Oh come on Sammy. You would have been surprised in my situation”.

“Actually I wouldn’t cause i’m not a pansy like you”. She teases smugly. I look down at her with a smug stare.

“Oh really? How about when I do this?” I casually say as I come close and suddenly reach down grab her by the legs and hang her by her ankles with us face to face much to her embarrassment.

“Oh! You’re gonna get it now!” Her shouting in my mind and calling out was not ignored by the zubat and all at once they are woken up with a deathly screech. We turn to look up and see every one of them staring at us. I look at Sammy still hanging by her ankles in my hand and quickly bring her to my chest and noticing that Bane isn’t here freak out but getting out is my first priority and make a quick exit to the cave mouth with a wave of zubat on our tail.

“Where is Bane?” I ask out in a rush worried that she may be still in here and hoping that the little pup stayed outside which was a better choice than coming in at the moment.

“She isn’t with us?” she asked me dumbly not know that Bane wasn’t here.

“Ah, Nope”.

“Maybe she’s outside already?”

“Hopefully she is or else we’re in trouble”. In all my running I didn’t notice that I had run down a different path and came to a dead end with the horde of zubat behind us still in a death rush hoping to get to us. “Whelp, we’re dead”. I look to the side in a hope to see another path but only see a crack in the wall only just big enough for us to squeeze through. “That’ll do nicely”. shoving Sammy inside then just squeezing in as the horde get to where we were but a moment ago and bashing a hole right through the wall into another cavern.

“Holy crapping Arceus that was close!” Getting an angry glare from Sam I quickly shut my mouth If I feel as though I want to keep my tongue.

“That was a good idea, Now if this isn’t so hard let’s get out of here and find that damn pup and get whatever else you’re after”.

“Sure”. “That idea sounds pretty good right now”. We climb out of the crack in the wall and turn in both direction looking at the destruction the horde of angry zubat had wreaked. In both directions is destruction as far as the light of my torch can see. That was nothing compared to the despaired stares the Pokemon I could see had on their faces see their home wrecked in the frenzy. Then I notice something under a pile of rubble, I look closer and see it is a hand, a sandy tan coloured hand.

“Sam!” Sammy stares at me blankly taking in everything that happened. “Move these boulders! Please.” I’ve never seen her move so quickly than then especially after seeing the hand hanging out from the pile of rocks. Within moments the boulders are moved revealing the mangled but alive body of a Mawile. It is exactly what i’m after but Im scared to touch it. “Sam grab it we’ve gotta take it to the Pokecentre!” Sam instantly but gingerly grabs the heavily damaged Mawile and carries it in her psychic control while following behind me at a steady pace. I continue to search through the rubble for more injured and but don't see any till we make it nearly to where we found the horde when I notice something under some rocks and have a look to see what it is.

I push aside a boulder about the size of my chest and underneath the rock in a small alcove is a quivering Poochyena. My poochyena. “Bane! There you are!” I quickly Grab her and bring her to my chest nearly smothering her in the biggest hug I could without hurting her. “Let’s get out of here”. I take one step toward the entrance but the ground around us suddenly falls away on us..

“OH, FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…….”

“AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH”

*Grown*

Meanwhile Twilight has made a breakthrough

“Spike! I think i’ve done it! I must try it now”. Twilight cries in elation and excitement at finally completing what had taken her weeks to formulate.

“Twilight, It is 11 at night. Leave it for the morning”.

“Sorry, Spike i’ve gotta do it now when it’s fresh in my mind. Here we go”.

Twilight’s horn then lights brighter than can both their eyes can take and which a explosion follows which lapses both of them into unconsciousness.

Back to the unwary group as they fall

It was a bright light. I thought it was my death but the light looks solid and scary. I scream and this scream is far from manly.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH”. We hit the light and instead of feeling death embrace me. Sammy, Bane the mawile and I travel straight through and hit the ground but it isn’t the ground of the cave that was supposed to be our deaths what we hit was a tad more welcoming but still painful, I feel around me feeling as though I was trampled by a tyranitar. I notice the ground is a very soft grass and look up and see it must have been thick to cushion our fall.

I get up slowly wincing in pain looking around trying to see my pokemon and the mawile that we were supposed to save.

“SAAAAAAAAAMM, WHERE ARE YOU!?”.

“I’m over here”. What I hear of Sam sounds frail and weak. She sends out a beacon in my mind to find her (assuming they can do that) to which I follow to find her curled up in a ball in pain, It is hard to look at and instantly run to her side.

“Sam” I lean down and carefully pick her up ignoring all my pain so to make sure she’s ok.

“What are you doing?” Sam asks painfully.

“I’m carrying you. You’re in no state to walk”.

“And neither are you”. She had a point. I am in no state to walk but the others had to be found. I get up and walk away from where we landed and wade through the grass looking for the others. It takes us a good few minutes to find Bane and the Mawile. Bane is a little worse for wear and the mawile next thing to dead. I rush over and gently lay Sam away and reach for my trusty bag which was nearly destroyed in the fall but held together enough for nothing to fall out. I reach in and pull out a Pokeball to which I aim toward and activate it on the Mawiles arm absorbing the severely weakened and nearly dead pokemon for safekeeping.

“Seriously, Rob! You had those things and never thought to use them”. Sam deadpans

“I never thought of using them before now because I preferred to have you out with me”. I laugh sheepishly. I get a smack over the ear for it. “Ow. Oh come on. We gotta get out of this grass and see where we are”. I put Bane away seeing as she’ll be useless at the moment, pick up Sam and put her on my shoulder as I walk away limping slightly.

Perspective of the crash with Luna

It was just another day in Canterlot castle and which at this time of night I can be found laying around in my chambers sleeping and reading to my hearts content. I was halfway through a Batmare comic-book when I hear a massive boom out over the fields of long grass. (Lame name blame the writers). I look out over my balcony to see a large white portal in the sky above the field. I stare closer and suddenly see something fall through and crash land in the grass.

“I wonder what that is?” Flying out the window and going for a closer look. As I get closer I start to hear snippets of conversation and touch down behind some grass to listen.

“I’m carrying you. you’re in no state to walk”. Came the voice of the first being. The next part I didn’t hear but I suppose this first being did for he just gave an almost aghast stare and grabbed a bag that was hanging on his back looking a little worse for wear. He grabs out two red and white ball things and leans down to somewhere I can’t see. I reposition myself and get a quick glance of a creature that I haven’t ever seen before. I was short maybe 4 and a half hooves tall while lying down. It had a sandy tan coloured fur, What I suppose is fur and on the back of its head is a massive jaw. I nearly jumped at the sight of it but I changed my mind and become enraptured when the first creature a 5 and a half hooves tall creature leans down with one of the balls and jabs is in an arm making the ball grow and open which also absorbs the creature.

I became scared after seeing that and decided that hiding may be a good idea. I sit there for a few minutes not even watching what was unfolding with the creature but eventually I hear them move away. I get up and look in the direction they went. They were heading toward the castle, I get into the air and fly back to the castle silently where I find a whole squad of guards already put together. I touch down in front of the group.

“Guards. You’re to find a creature in the Grass Fields and detain it and anything with it, am I clear?”

“Yes, Princess Luna”. They all answer at once.

“Good. Now move out”.

Back with Rob and Sam

It feels like forever that we’ve moving through the grass and I am starting to feel tired. I stop and look up at Sam on my shoulder.

“I think we should get some sleep here”. All I get is a nod so I slowly and painfully lay down on the grass and lay out with Sam laying on my chest. It doesn’t take long for her to fall asleep and I follow quickly but I haven’t rested long before I start hearing noises of jangling metal and hushed talking. I lay perfectly still praying to Arceus that we are not found. I don’t know why I decided to hide and instead of going to the noise is probably the fact that I have no idea where we are and I really don't feel like running into trouble. I slowly reach down to my waist where I have stuck my knife too and pull my 12 inch kukri knife from its sheath with only the barest whisper of scraping leather on metal.

I listen carefully for the noises and thankfully they pass us by but by the sound of it they were close. I lean down and gently and carefully shake Sam awake. “Shhhh. Sam, we have to go. I think somethings looking for us”.

“Why aren’t we going to the searchers?” Sam replied groggily.

“I have a feeling these searchers are not the good kind, let’s leave it at that”.

“Fine then, let’s go”. We both quietly get up and start crawling away from the sound barely making any noise. We can hear the sounds of movement everywhere and crawl more carefully as we come close to being spotted. At one point I even got a glimpse of the searchers. They were a small looking Rapidash in armor and instead of fire all over the body it only had hair.

“I have a bad feeling about this place”.

We were crawling for a while and Sam was getting bored. “Rob, Is all this Crawling necessary? We can just make a run for it?”.

“Absolutely not. If we’re caught who knows what they may do”.

“Yeah. They could help us! We have injured and we aren't in the best of wear so we may as well show ourselves and if push comes to shove you have me and your weapons as protection”.

“Ugh, fine but if we die or put in a prison you’re gonna get it”.

“Sure, sure. Get up”. With that she stands up and makes me get up too with just a bit of her power. Next she sends out a psychic pulse giving away our positions to everyone.

“Seriously, That has to one of the dumbest things you just did there”. I say incredulous.

“Just wait and see, we’ll be fine I promise”.

Before long we are surrounded by these strange creatures wearing dark blue-black armor. One of the guards step forth with a sword raised in its grasp. “What are you and how did you get in the royal fields?” (Ok again sorry for the name but hey i’m silly)

“I’m human and I have no idea how we got here -gesturing to the kirlia by my side- and this here is Sammy my Kirlia. We are in need of assistance”.

“Human hmmm…. never heard of you but seeing as you’ve caused no problem I may as well be help you. Come with us!” With that the guard turned around and ordered his -what I guess to be male by the voice- squad to surround us as we walk out into the garden. We make it out quickly and the sight that beholds us makes us stop in our tracks. I was a massive castle, I have never seen a structure so big.

“Woah!”

“Woah indeed” Sam says too just staring at the size of the place.

“How did we miss that!”

“No Idea”.

“No lollygagging!” One of the dark guards say as he jabs us with a spear to make us move.

“Oi, Don't do that! I’m moving”. We begin walking again heading straight for a massive door. We get to the door and wait as the squad commander opens the door and ushers us in. We walk through and take in all our surroundings not caring that we were being stared at with smug grins.
We were thrown from our gaping with a quick jab from the commanders sword. I fix him with a pissed stare and he just stare back as though he hadn’t done anything and a small whistle. “Well if you done gaping at the halls we have someone you have to meet before anything else happens”. with said and done everyone heads off at a quick trot. I lean down and pluck Sam from the ground and put her up on my shoulder as I follow behind.


We find ourselves in front of a large door with a sun and moon emblazoned on the front and gilded in gold and moonstone.

“How rich are you people!”

“Very”. Is all I get in response from the guard Captain. He pushes open the doors and walks in with us following behind. We walk into the most magnificent room I have ever seen. I stare at all the stained glass windows slack jawed at the beauty and mastership of the place then I look at the end of the hall and see up on thrones set at the end I see a much larger creature. She -i suppose is a she by the appearance- is a deep blue almost as dark as the darkest night and her mane looks like the sky itself. I instantly got the feeling that she is a very important creature. Perhaps royalty. At seeing us she instantly stands up and walks over to us where stop and looks at us up close. She looks over at the captain.

“Thou may go now. I have this under control and I would like to speak to it alone thank you”. she speaks in an old dialect somewhat mid-early-modern English.

“As you command Princess”. And the captain and his squad leave if somewhat reluctantly. The Princess turns to me with a curious stare.

“What are thou?” I can detect she has an inkling on what I am and answer her anyway.

“I am Human”. That simple statement is all she needed to know but then she looks to my companion on my shoulder.

“What is that thing? Is it dangerous?”

“This is my Kirlia, her name is Sam and no she isn’t dangerous but she a slight temper”. Looking over at kirlia seeing she has a annoyed look on her face. “Well I think i’ll let her speak for herself”.

“Hello”. Sam greets into her mind. The princess wasn’t expecting mental speech and jumped a foot in the air to Sam’s amusement and mine.

“Oh, She’s a psychic. That’s a surprise”.

“You don’t say”. Sam is giggling under her breath at seeing the Royal jump like that which did nothing less than embarrass the royal to no end.

“Well then….. What’s your name, I forgot to ask?” The Princess turns to me quizzically.

“My name is Rob”.

“...Rob” rolling the name off her tongue treating it like a words never heard before. “Well anyways… Rob, I need to ask before we continue. How did you get here and what are you going to do?”

“Like I told the Captain, I have no idea how we got here. All I remember is falling and then a bright light and hitting the field, hard I might add. Actually I have a request if that isn’t so hard?”

“Go ahead” Thinking over what was said.

“I have an injured Mawile that need drastic attention. I was hoping if you could help it?” I pull out the injured pokemons ball and show it to the Princess which said princess stares at fearfully knowing what it can do she really didn’t want it to touch her.

“Keep that thing away from me, Don't touch me with it!” she cries.

“What? This?” gesturing to the ball.

“Yes! That!” Nodding. I laugh hysterically at that not caring that i’m laughing at royalty.

“Why are you laughing?” glaring at me for my hysterical laughter.

“This thing can’t hurt you and besides it already contains something”. I put down in front of her. which she stares at carefully.

“It contains the injured Mawile in question”. The Princess Pokes the ball with a hoof causing it to open and let out the injured mawile making her jump back in fright and stare at the sorry state it is in.

“GUARDS!” The Princess call out loudly and a full squad of Guards come rushing in. “Get this poor creature to the infirmary Now!”. The guards stare at the creature in fright of its massive jaws on the back of its head but quickly rush to find a stretcher and take the pitiful pokemon away to be healed. I just stare in rapt curiosity.

“Well anyways Princess……? Actually I didn’t get a name”.

“It’s Luna”.

“Oh, pretty name”. Sam looks at me incredulous and smacks in the head, “OwO”

“Well… umm thank you….” Luna blushes and brushes the comment aside. “Well seeing as you’re new to our Kingdom from what I have seen and heard you won’t have anywhere to stay so I’m going to get you a room”. Quickly calling a guard in and instructing him on what to do the Stallion Guard gives us a nervous stare and leads us out into the hallway and up a flight of stairs found at the end of the hall.

“Now umm….” the stallion begins.

“Rob”. I interrupt.

“Yes, Rob, I have been instructed to take you to a room down the hall from her Majesty so she may keep an eye on you.

“Fine by me”. Looking at Sam finding her staring at me. I can tell she wants to say something which I nod to her to continue.

“Do you this is a good idea? I know it was earlier but now im not so sure”.

“Oh relax will you. It’ll be fine”. The guard just stares at me funny thinking that i’m just talking to myself. Eventually we end up in front of a door slightly bigger than me.

“Here you go. If you need anything let me know”.

“Actually there is. Can you inform us as soon as you hear about the creatures health in the Infirmary”.

“Sure, I can do that”.

“Thank you, I’ll see ya around”. I cheerfully open up the door and waltz with the door just brushing my head and nearly hitting Sam in the face to her ire and my embarrassment. I walk over to the bed which thankfully is large and has enough room for us and I lay down. “It is soo late right now. I’m going to sleep”. I only get an annoyed grunt in response.

“Ok Sam, I’m sorry ok but what has got your skirt in a twist?”

“It’s nothing”. she grumpily replies staring at the roof.

“Don't give me that, I can tell you’re troubled, now please tell me what it is?” I say while leaning up on a shoulder staring at her sleepily.

“Fine… What, what if…..? What if we can’t get home?” She sniffles and I quickly lean over and hug her.

“We’ll figure that out when we get to it. Now please cheer up and get some sleep….. okay?”

“Fine… *sigh*”. With that we both fall into a fitful sleep.


I wake up to the suns rays in my eyes and the smell of food in the air.

“Mmmm, What is that?” I take a quick sniff of the air and deduce it down to porridge with honey in it. I look over where the smell is coming from and find Sam already sitting and eating at a table in the side of the room. “Morning”.

“Morning”.

“Where’d that come from?”

“I found it on the table when I awoke”.

I quickly get up and head over to the table and sit down. Dragging over a bowl of the delicious gold/white porridge I think over what happened last night.

“Sam?”

“Yeah”.

“Are you feeling okay? After last night I mean”.

“Yeah. I feel fine as anything”.

“I hope so, oh yeah I almost forgot. I wanna go check in with the Mawile down at the infirmary, you up for it?”

“Yeah sure, just after we finish breakfast ok”.

“Great”. I dig into my breakfast with much gusto and finish within seconds but end up with porridge all over my face.

“Bahahaha, you’re gonna need a shower now!” Sam laughs. I look down on myself and blush in embarrassment.

“Oh well. We were gonna need one anyways”. I proceed to walk to the side door in the room that I had just noticed after waking and open it to find a rather modern bathroom.. “It seems as though our luck just gets better and better. Im just hoping when the opposite happens it won’t be horrible or painful”.

“Yeah it had better not”.

I proceed to walk into the bathroom and strip off, leave my clothes by the door and hop into the shower. The moment the water starts i’m hit by searing hot pain over my head and back “AHHHHHHHHHH” “HOT HOT HOT HOT”. I cry out and fall down still being beat by the searing water. Sam runs in to see me being blasted by the hot water and shuts off the water with her psychic attacks.

“ROB! ARE YOU OKAY?” She screams into my mind. All I can do is whimper as she goes and grabs a robe to cover me up and drags me out of the shower with her powers.

“I guess you got your bad luck sooner than expected”. She quickly picks me up with the robe still over me and carries me to the door where there are a group guards standing in the doorway with weapons drawn. They see me and then see the Kirlia carrying me and instantly rush in and surround us. This group was different. They were not the kind that wore the black-blue armor, these ones were wearing gold armor. “I’ve no time for this”. Sam broadcasts into their minds which makes them skittish and shuffle around. “If you could just move aside, I need to get his boy to the infirmary”. The Guards first stare at Sam and then look over at me and notice all the burns on my body and robe over my body.

“What happened to him?” One of the less skittish guards asked.

“He burned himself in the shower”.

“-_-’ Well I won’t keep you then. Come with me”. Sam follows the speaker with me in tow in her psychic hold. It is a long walk down the hall and down several flights of steps but we eventually stop at a door with a big Red cross on the front. “Go straight on it”. and then leaves us there and goes back to his duties.

“*hissss* Sam, ow ow. Help me”.

Sam opens the doors and walks in carrying me, It only takes a few seconds for us to be noticed and a another few for a nurse to notice the obvious pain im in. The nurses rush over to me and grab me in their magic but Sam refuses to let go but after a few seconds give up and passes me over while i’m still hanging in the air in pain and obvious embarrassment.

“What happened to him?” One of the nurses ask Sam to which she replies but I don’t care at that time as i’m wheeled away and into another room where they try to fix me up.

Sams Perspective

I turn to the nurse next to me. “While i’m here, I might as well check up on that mawile, can I see it?”

“What is a…. oh that horrifying creature that was carried in yesterday. It is actually a he and he will be fine, just needs a few days rest and a couple weeks in casts”.

“Ok then, well now that I know that he’s ok.. Can I stick around till the human is wheeled out?”

“Oh course dear, I can tell that you worry for him”.

“Oh course I worry. He’s my master”.

“Master? Are you a slave to him?” She asks incredulous at the implications.

“No I am not a slave per say, I am more like a companion and for my race it is easier to become happy with a master for we feel happiness when the master is happy, In easy terms I feel and feed from emotion”. That statement causes the nurse to stare at me strangely and slightly scared.

“What’s wrong?” I’m only answered with a scared whimper and the nurse running off scared. “What did I say?” I shrug and just go over to a bed to nap in till my human is brought out.


(Will there be any showing mark from Robs accident, Will the poor nurse report to the guard on what she thought. Tune in next time and find out.)

Chapter 6 - Minor fixes

Golden oaks Library

I awoke with the sun in my eyes. I turn over to avoid the bright rays but hit my head on something. I eyes flutter open still drowsy from my sleep but the sight that befell me snapped me wide awake. The room was a mess, the shelves in a disarray, furniture all over the floor. Let’s just say I didn’t take it well, far from it.

“SPIIIIIKKKEEEE, WHERE ARE YOU??”. I get a groan in response and run over to where I heard but only finding a pile of rubble. “Where are you spike?”. I hear muffled yelling from under the rubble. I panic and throw the rubble off of spike nearly throwing him too. I quickly grab him and look him over only seeing scratched scales and few bruises, I hug worried out my mind.

“What the buck happened Twilight?” “All I remember last night was you attempting a spell then BOOM! and I wake up to you calling for me. Care to explain what happened?”

“I don’t know Spike. Something went wrong, I must’ve let my mind wander during the spell or I missed a calculation. We need to find what came through!” At this point Twilight is pretty much out of it and a breeze could probably break her so I walk into the kitchen -what is left of it- and get her some tea to calm her nerves. I come back to see her digging around in the rubble for something..

“Twilight, what are you doing?” I stare curiously while she sifts through the pile but doesn’t see it..

“I’m looking for a book! What do you think i’m looking for?” “We need to find what came through and where it appeared”. “While i’m doing this send a letter to the Princess notifying her on the situation”.

“Sure thing!” The small green and purple dragon runs off to get the letter together for Twilight and send it off. Before long it is sent off describing the situation. “It’s done Twilight!”

“Good spike, Now help me clean up this mess”.

“Awww!”

Back at the Infirmary

I wake from sleep with a horrible burning feeling all over my body. “Ow” “I feel as though I was attacked by a nest of Charmanders”.

Sam hearing me wake up quickly hurried in with a face as though she was at a funeral.. “Actually just one evil shower, I was so worried, don’t ever do that to me again you moron!” She Quickly punches me in the arm causing me to wince and her to instantly feel sorry. “I’m so sorry! Are you ok?”

“Yeah I’m good.” Wincing slightly. “When can I get out?”

“I dunno *shrugs* I’d have to ask the nurse.”

At the point Princess Luna walks in. “No need, I have you cleared to leave in a few hours but my Sister informs me that she got a letter concerning you.”

“Really! and what it say?” I inquire still sore from the burns.

“Something about a Dimensional Teleportation spell going wrong and blowing apart the inside of her home. It also said to inform her if anything was found from the portal. Now Celestia hasn’t met you yet but I make that happen soon.”

“Rather sooner than expected.” As said pony walks through the door. All the Nurses notice her and instantly bow or curtsy.

“Celestia! How did you know we were here?” Luna says alarmed at her sisters appearance. I just take in stride as though nothing happened.

“Well, It’s hard not to notice with all the rumours among the guard about a strange ape creature being dragged around by a small green creature.” She looks past Luna and looks at us. “Ah, here is the mysterious pair. When did you appear and who is this and what happened to you?”

Sam answered for me to Celestia's surprise and Luna enjoyment. “We appeared last night out in the long grass by the Royal Gardens, My name is Sammy or Sam for short and that doofus that burned himself in the shower this morning is Rob my trainer and companion.”

“Trainer? What exactly are you?”

“I am a Kirlia, the emotion Pokemon and my Master there is Human.”

“Pokemon?” Luna and Celestia both ask curious at this.

“Pokemons or ‘Mon for short are the creatures from our world. We come in many shapes and sizes with a range of abilities, as for my abilities. I am a Psychic Pokemon.”

“Psychic. So how did you move the human?”

“Well I am Psychic by type but I can learn all the abilities that involve the mind. So yes I can use Telekinesis as well as others too.”

“You are quite the interesting creature. So that other thing that came in last night is a pokemon?” Luna enquired

“Correct.” Says Sam.

At that point I got into the middle of the argument. “Actually, I was wondering. Where is the Mawile.”

“He is fine but won’t be out for a bit.” Sam informs, At the point we hear a scream from one of the curtained off areas and a clumsy and sore looking Mawile Stumbling out with a shifty gaze on everything. “Or Not.”

I get up Ignoring the pain and discomfort of the burns and rush over to the distressed Mawile. “Hey, hey, heeey. Calm down you. It’s ok.” Seeing a familiar creature the poor Mawile calms down slightly but still looks distressed at the unfamiliar surroundings. “Don’t be afraid, I’m not and we’re stuck in the same boat.” The obviously scared Mawile looks at me and gives a pained stare. Celestia chooses this time to put in a question.

“What am I to say of you?” I couldn’t believe she was giving me a choice.

“Say of what?” I ask confused.

“The letter in reply.”

“Just reply that something was found but don't specify on what it is. Just say it is unique and much stay here at the palace.”

“Sure I can do that but what have you planned to do since you’re here? Of course If you are to be leaving the castle you’ll need an escort to make sure you stay away from trouble.” She inquires.

‘I’ll use the time to look around and take care of my Pokemon. Actually I don't think you’ve met my other Pokemon, Bane. Would you like to her?”

“Sure, but where is she?”

I snap my fingers remembering where my ball are. (Not those one you perv) “Sam can you teleport to my room and get bane Ball please?”

“Sure.” and with a flash of light she was gone to the bewilderment of the Princesses.

“She can teleport too!” “What other surprises do your ‘Pokemon’ have in store.”

“I can assure you, Plenty.” This slightly worries the Monarchs but they take it in stride.

“Ok, We know what Sam is but what is this Pokemon?” Both sisters gesture to the injured Mawile

“This is a Mawile, He is a Steel type so he is impervious to poison.”

“How many types are there?”

“Seventeen types and over half are elements.” I state simply making their jaws nearly drop. At this point Sam has returned carrying my clothes and my belt which I took gratefully. I walk off to get dressed somewhat with difficulty and Sam follows me. “What are you doing Sam?”

“I coming to help you dress.”

“I can handle it on my own.”

“Fine.. If you need it i’m sure you’ll call me?”

“Doubt it.” and walk off to a secluded section of the room to change. Halfway through I get stuck with my pants and jacket. “Oh fuck! I can do this, just pull this here. Ahhhh.” “Damn it, fine.”

“SAM, can you help me please.” She comes over with a smug glare and giggles at me for being so stubborn. It only took a moment for her to fix it. We come back out with me all dressed and ready. “Oh, now i’m going to introduce you to Bane, my Poochyena and a Dark type.” completely disregarding what happened less than a minute ago.

“Come out Bane!” I pull a ball out a throw it into the air which opens and dispenses the pup. The look on the princesses face was priceless but at seeing Bane their faces lit up and hearts nearly melted at seeing the Poochyena. While the Royals are distracted I grab a full heal potion from my belt and head over to the Mawile to tend to him, I administer and instantly notice the difference. I look back over the princesses and notice them still distracted with Bane but I get a fun idea. “I have an Idea!” This gets everyones attention. “I wanna go outside, I wanna show you something.”

First Luna and Celestia stare at me curious, gives a shrug and leads us out the back to the gardens.

“Somewhere secluded and where nothing can be wrecked.” This really confused them but Sam caught on quickly.

“What he means to say is we need an area to show off our abilities.”

“That sounds like a splendid idea!” Clapping her hooves together. “I shall invite my student to watch as well.”

“Will that take long?” I inquire.

“Not at all. I can have a message over there in less than a minute and she’ll be here in the next 30 minutes via chariots I can have sent down and wjile she’s here she can also explain why she did that experiment that brought you here.”

“Fine by me then.”

The message was sent out as she said a chariot was pulled up on the field where we were standing and out hopped six equines of differing species. The first to hop out was a Pink and Pinker creature of untold energy by the way she moved and seem to disappear and reappear randomly, The next to appear was an ebony white with an amethyst mane giving off the look of a classy upbringing. The third to appear was Orange and had a Blond mane with a cowboy hat on her head. Next came out cyan blue and rainbow maned one, The final two were a butter yellow one with a light pink mane and a Purple mare with a purple mane and pink highlights who instantly runs up to Celestia and hugs her.

I’m looking at the scene when all of a sudden i’ve been tackled into the dirt from the side and being sat on by the blue mare.

“Hey! What gives. Get off me!” I shove the blue menace off and scramble back worried she would attack me. The instant I get my bearings shes in my face again with an angry glare by this time everyone has noticed and is either snickering or staring amazement at me.

“You! What are you?! Where are you from?! What were you doing with the Princess?!.......” I end her rambling by pulling a knife I had secreted in my jacket and sitting it against her throat to her horror and my amusement.

“I will explain that in time you little tramp. But right now if you don’t back off i’m gonna have you deal with my companions or I punish you now.” I take a nick out of her cheek so she gets the message, she does and backs off mumbling quietly to herself in anger. I quickly hide my knife back where it’s hidden and just stand there with a bemused expression. In a louder voice so everyone else can hear me.

“Now I must know you all have questions?” I get a round of nods. “Well those will be answered later or you can have Princess Luna and Celestia answer those for me. My real reason for standing out here is to put on a demonstration. Again if you have questions ask the Princesses for I have not the patience for it.” The six newcomers stare at me with a mix of emotions from anger -in Rainbows case- to excitement at seeing me. “Oh have you even noticed my companions -gesturing behind Luna and Celestia-.”

They all look in that direction and finally notice the three creatures sitting behind them. The first to react is the pink and butter yellow one, running over and scooping up the Poochyena in her grasp must to Bane’ dismay. I laughed a little at that getting me a dirty look from the pup.

“I’ve never seen this breed before. It’s so Cuuute, where did you get it?” I walk up to her.

“It’s a she, her name is Bane, she’s a Poochyena and where I got her, while traveling.” The rest of the group bar the Rainbow haired menace (May as well call her Rainbow for the mane) followed up to us wanting to get close to the other Pokemon. They got frightened by Mawile but once I explained that he wouldn’t harm them, they got right into it. With their curiosity satisfied I decided to get introductions done with. “Hello. Right. Before I begin the Demo i’d like to get some names underway. Who’s first?”

The first to speak up was the Purple one. “My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends. Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy and finally Rainbow Dash” -that name surprised me since my guess was pretty much spot on- while pointing out the respective owner of the names.

I get the pokemon to stand by me. “I guess it’s my turn. My name is Rob, the green and white Pokemon on my left is Sam, she is a Kirlia next to my other side the dog pokemon, Bane the Poochyena and finally on the far end and new addition to my team in my Mawile.

After Introduction were done they spent a good part of the afternoon watching Rob demonstrate the power of his Pokemon. Some were magnificent and some were terrifying aka. Scary Face. After a while everyone became tired and headed their respective ways except Twilight who followed me inside and to the food hall for dinner.

I got inside and headed for the buffet with Twilight and Pokemon in tow. We got to the buffet table and I picked what I liked from the selection, It was all fruit and veggies with a little complaining finally chose what I liked and found a table with the rest of my Pokemon with what they liked.

“It couldn’t hurt to have meat on the menu.” I muse to myself but was still heard by the ever snoopy Twilight.

“Meat you say, so you’re an Omnivore seeing as your also eating fruit.”

“That is correct though I do prefer my meat more than fruit.” That made Twilight gulp in worry.

“Just a quick question about that though. Do you eat ponies?” Ahh so that’s what the species is called.

“No I don’t eat ponies. The only ponies we have are called Ponyta and are used for battle or racing.”

“Battle?”

“Yes battle. Well they are more like mock battle for the reason where no one dies but anywho, that is all the questions I want for today thank you.”

“Awww, a few more?”

“Nope” staying stubbornly on the issue.

“Fine but i’ll be back tomorrow for more questions and some tests if that’s ok?”

“Sure” I say with fake enthusiasm.

“Well thank you. I’ll be off now, got a train to catch home.”

“Sure, See ya”

“You too”

Dinner ends quickly and we all head back up to my room. I open the door head in and have a shower -thankfully not nearly killing myself this time- while everyone else sits outside waiting for their turn. One by one everyone cleans up and gets ready for bed. I climb into bed with only a pair of trackies on for they’re my fave kind of clothes and Sam climbs in next to me, this wouldn’t be a big deal if it wasn’t for the fact that she was snuggling closer than usual. I look down at her and tilt her head up to me where I notice some moisture in her eye as though she was crying.

“Sam? Are you ok?” I turn on my side so I can get a better look at her.

“I-I-I’m fine” She replies with a small sniffle.

“You’re not. Tell me what is wrong?”

“I’m worried. What if we can’t go back?”

“Don’t be worried and if we can’t go back then we’ll just have to find a way to make do.” I say softly to avoid waking the others sleeping around the room.

“What… What if… What if you……” She can’t finish and starts breaking down into sobs. I take seeing her in distress so I do the first that that pops into my head. I lean over and kiss her, just a quick one but still full of meaning. It does work to make her feel better and she quiets down. I pull her into my chest and she eventually falls asleep I quickly follow while pondering on what may we do if we can’t get home. I’ll leave that for another time but right now i’m going to sleep.


(Will they be stuck in Equestria, What does the kiss mean? Is Sam getting feelings for Rob or vice versa. That depends on the future, Tune in next time for the answer.)

() Do they find a way to get home.
() Do they get stuck in Equestria forever.

You Decide!

Love, Baths and Propositions.

It has been three days since that moment, the moment that could change our entire relationship as a Trainer and his Pokemon. In the time from that night we have been spending the time by wandering the halls of the castle taking in everything. Bane and the not yet named Mawile would just chat in my room while Mawile recovers fully. His recovery has progressed quickly with only complaining about only a few joints and sore muscles but I digress. I have asked the cooks to add my desire for the menus in the kitchen much to their horror when I told them I eat meat but after a quick explanation from me about not eating them they begrudgingly did as requested.

It was early morning on my fourth day in the palace, I wake up with a stretch trying not to wake Sam that sleeps next to me more often than not. I must’ve nudged her in my stretching for she woke her up because I hear her grumbling in as she wakes.

“Morning sleepy head. I hope that wasn’t me that woke you.”

Grumbling slightly “No you didn’t wake me, I just felt like waking up as you did.”

“Really?”

“Nope.” Sam gives me a dead stare and gets up. “It’s too late for me to go back to sleep now so we may as well talk. We really need to talk about what happened that night.”

“What night?” I say in a show of innocence as though I didn’t know.

“You know very well what night. *Sigh* It is really important, I need to know what that meant. I have only neglected to ask is because…… I didn’t know what it meant, I couldn’t know. So please I need to know.”

“Well -scratching the back of my neck- I don’t know why I did it to be serious. It was a spur of the moment thing you know. You were so broken in my arms, so….so frail. I didn’t think, I just acted. It worked didn’t it?”

“Y-yeah it did, I guess. But what if.” She takes a moment to think. “What if that went further?”

“How so?” Oblivious to what she meant.

“You know, what if that very action went into something deeper?”

I finally understand what she meant and made a big ‘Oh’ sound to show I understood.

“It wouldn’t have. I wouldn’t have done it for your sake and mine.”

“Would you had I asked?”

“That is an entirely different matter altogether but if you had asked I may have but I would need to know whether you really wanted it.”

“Of course.” Blushing slightly she takes one of my hands in between her own, the moment she does my mind is sent awash with memories and emotions. It was a sea, It was a raging river of feelings and I nearly couldn’t take it but in amongst the raging emotion I felt a strange feeling of calm and love. I never knew she had such feelings for me, she hid them so well. Or was I just ignoring the signs. I snap out of my trance and look down at her with a new feelings for her. I lean down and bring her into my arms hugging her tightly not caring if Bane and Mawile wake up at this moment and see us but as all things our show of affection ended all too quickly. I look at her with a smile and she smiles back. She was completely different to the Kirlia I once knew, she was more open to me now, that I could tell. I takes a lot to show someone your feelings and I didn’t want to hurt her.

I lean down and kiss her quickly on the nose and climb out of bed with her trailing by my side. I walk over to the bathroom where I was planning to take a shower and walk in but stop when I notice Sam following me. “Sam. Why are you following me in here?” I ask cautiously.

“I’m going to take a bath with you.” She states simply as if that was the most understandable thing in the world.

“You want to bathe with me?”

“Sure, why not?”

“Nothing really, it’s just I feel slightly nervous with idea of bathing with a female. Such ideas never cross my mind.”

“Well there is always a time to start.” I stare at her for a moment but seeing her look at me so intensely I just gave up my idea of throwing her out, which wouldn’t be a good idea in the slightest. “Fine, but no sneak peeking as I undress ok.”

“Ok” I get in response.

“Well ok then by all means” and with the minor spat out of the way I head in with her trailing behind. Unbeknown to them Mawile had been awake since the beginning and heard everything. He smiles and shakes his head grumbling under his breath about juvenile Kirlia. He then just turns over and falls back to sleep.

Sam closes the door behind us as I head over to the bath in the room and fill up the tub. While it fills I undress down to my under clothes and look back over at Sam who just beginning to pull up her skirt to go over her head. With her vision blocked I quickly finish undressing and jump in the tub that was by that time up to my waist while sitting down. I grab some bubble soap that is sitting by the tub and soon make the water sudsy to hide myself in. I look back out of the tub and see her finally fish off the skirt and prepare to climb in. I take a moment for my eyes to wander over her body seeing as i’ve never seen her like this. Starting at her chest at her smallish breasts on her chest and over her smooth white and green skin, It is rather beautiful to look at but quickly look away when she notices.

“Well, well. I notice you looking.”

“And you’re not ashamed at all?” I stammer.

“Not really. I can sense your feelings you know and you like what you see.” Not ashamed in the slightest.

“You know that is making it hard you know.” (teehee ‘hard’. Sorry couldn't help it).

“Yep. I have noticed and now i’m gonna make it worse.” She quickly yet gracefully glides over to the tub and jump in and straight onto my lap not caring in the slightest.

“SAM! Careful, I don’t need you scaring me like that.”

“Scaring you like what.”

“You’re sitting on my groin, you could have hurt me.”

“Well i’m sorry, i’ll be more careful next time.” she leans back in my lap and lay her head on my chest. “You know what would be nice.” Leaning back forward and turning round to sit facing me.

“What would be nice?”

“A back rub while washing my back.” She state all to innocently.

“Really?” I give her a deadpanned stare which she giggles at.

“Yup! Now get to it before I make you.” In a childish tone.

“You’re not taking any of this seriously, are you?” She just shakes her head then turns away from me. I sigh in defeat and does what she says and starts washing her back for her while massaging her shoulders and upper back. Much to my discomfort this causes her to moan in delight. I stop before it becomes to much. She looks back over her shoulder and smiles at me.

“You’re doing all this on purpose aren’t you, you little devil.”

“Maybe, but I get a kick out of it and you enjoy it.”

“”Because you make it hard for me.” (Again, Bow-chika-bow-wow) “Actually you look pretty clean now and smell just as good. Mind you could help wash me or you could hop out and get dressed?”

“Nah, I’ll stay. It’ll be fun to help you after you helped me.” She gets up and I shuffle forward while she sits behind me and starts washing my back while I do my front. After a few almost embarrassing minutes we both finish and climb out. By this point I don’t care if she sees me and throw on a towel.

“That was actually quite nice.” I state happily after a few moments.

“Yeah, but I hope the others don't notice.” She gets into a towel as well and we both go for the door with our clothes to be washed. We open the door and not only is Mawile standing outside the door with a blank stare but so is Bane but hers is a little more like a cheeky grin.

We both blush from being seen. The next moment a string of phrases were said by Mawile.

“What were you doing in there? Actually not important. Whatever you were doing in there isn’t my business but leave it for when Bane and I are gone.” This is all translated instantly by Sam to me to my slight embarrassment. I look to him and with some steel in my voice indignantly stood my ground.

“Just so you know Mawile, nothing happened in there so butt off. I can do whatever I please and it was all her idea.” I state getting a brief indignant glare from her.

“Fine, Get dressed we have a big day today. You need to see the Royalty for some reason and before you ask how I know. We had a messenger come not to long ago. Now get dressed the both of you.”

We both nod and head to get dressed. Me grabbing out a new set of Tracks and Jacket and with Sam out of clothes, she was looking at some extra clothes I had purchased before hand for her. She got into some shorts and an almost matching jacket. With that done we headed for the door. I look back at both Bane and Mawile with Sam by my side. “Aren’t you coming?”

“We will follow soon, you go ahead and find out what they want and we’ll come around after.”

“Fine but don’t be too long.”

They just nod at me and Sam and I head off in the direction of the throne room where I know we will find the Princesses and find out what they want. We make it there shortly and are ushered in swiftly. “Must be important.” I muse to myself as we pass the doors and walk down the hall. We come to the thrones with the Legendary Princesses on them. Luna looks down on us with a smile that I am completely lost by and Celestia with a grin on her face.

“You called you Majesties?”

“We did, we have a proposition for you. We want you to go down to Ponyville tomorrow.” Being taught all about the area in my travels through the palace in the last three days, I knew all about this Ponyville.

“Ponyville? Why are we going there?”

“Ponyville is home to my student: Twilight Sparkle, you met her three days ago at the demonstration.”

“So I did. But again why are we going?”

“She’s requested to see you all. She is curious about your friends abilities and wish to learn about them and yourself.”

“Where would we stay while down there? As you have noticed we have a few that need room.”

“In Twilight’s Library.” Celestia suggests.

“That wouldn’t do. We can’t stay in the same building as her, I doubt there is room.”

“Put them in those Pokeballs as you call them.” Celestia suggests to which I shake my head.

“No, no, no. I couldn’t and wouldn’t do that. I never liked putting them in there, it just doesn’t sit well with me.” I adamantly reply.

“Well then, we’ll just have to find you some better accommodation won’t we.” Luna says.

“If that really isn’t too hard.”

“Fine, we’ll attempt at getting you accommodation for you while down there. That is all we needed, you may leave.”

“Thank you, Your Majesties.” Sam and I turn around and head back out. I look down at Sam and notice that she’s annoyed.

“What got you all ruffled?”

“I don’t like the idea.”

“Well we’ll just have to bear it won’t we?”

“Fine”

“That’s my girl”. I lean down and ruffle her hair and kiss her head.

Chapter 8 - Minor addition during the intermission.

It was a short walk back to our room after the meeting with the Princess of the Sun and I was slightly confused about the matter. ‘Why did I need to go down there?’ I like it up here, It is quiet and the beds are comfortable. I look over to my first companion Sam and see her looking at me.

“What?....” Is all I ask while she continues to stare. “No seriously, what is it? Have I got something on my face?” at this point she decides to reply before I become frantic.

“It is nothing….. but about earlier",

"What of it?"

"What I did was rather stupid. From the get go I could tell you were uncomfortable but I persisted. I know you allowed me in the end but I still followed you in.” She gave me a slightly downcast look as I look at her slightly confused and worried at seeing her sad a lot lately. I stop and lean down to her, giving her a quick hug and kiss on the head. (I think i’ll get used to this).

“Don’t you fret at all okay. What you did was not a problem but might I add, please watch where you sit down in the future.” This makes her giggle in amusement and lightly punch me in the arm.

“I’ll be more careful *giggle* but i’d have to feel it first to know where I was sitting.” I blush madly and take a swing at her head -which she dodges easily- for such a terrible joke.

“Hardy har har, Shut it you! You just wish your breasts were bigger.” I reply angrily and don’t notice when I cop a punch straight to the stomach making me bend over in pain. “Totally worth it!” I wheeze out breathlessly as I try to catch my breath. “Okay, I think we’re done with jokes now. Lets just get back to our room to pack for tomorrow don’t you think.”

“Yeah, Yeah. Might as well and after we can go for a walk around get to see the sights before we leave.” Sam added as we head back toward our room both blushing and me still holding my stomach in pain. After a few minutes of boring walking back to our room we walk inside to see the room the same as usual with Mawile sitting on the bed having a chat with Bane about something but looking back at Sam noting her shuffle awkwardly I can see the blush on her face.

“Mawile, Bane. What are you up to?” They both jump at not noticing us walk in and turn around to us sheepishly.

“Uh, umm, Nothing at all.” Mawile says quickly.

“Really?” I ask knowing he was lying through his teeth. This time Sam adds something.

“Really now! Well then why were you discussing about Rob and I?” Mawile Just stares at us shiftily and puts on a brave face.

“I was discussing with bane whether the idea of master and you being together is a bad idea.” He admits causing me stare at him angrily and Him and Bane to shuffle worriedly.

“That doesn’t matter at this point. We are going to Ponyville tomorrow and so I need you all to pack your things.” Grumbling slightly they all obliged in doing so. They didn’t really have anything of their own so they helped pack ours. It took only a few minutes to do so and that left us with nothing to do. We sat around bored with nothing to do. “Well…. This is a drag.” I state simply sitting back in my bed.

Bane comes over and sit on me and stares into my face with adorable puppy-dog eyes. “We could outside and play, we’ve been stuck inside for ages. I’m starting to think we’re being neglected by you.”

“I’d never neglect you guys, I’ve just been busy with things.” I answer.

“Like. What?”

“Ummm, preparing. Actually let’s go outside. It’s boring in here anyways, maybe we can have you guys spar a bit. How does that sound?” Everyone looks at me with smiles and nods. “Good, let’s go and have some fun until we have to go tomorrow.” We all get up happily and rush for the door and out into the hall making a nearby maid faint from fright. We ignored her from all our excitement and race for the ways to the outside. We make it outside with me huffing a little from all the running and rush to the area we showed off our abilities four days ago.

We make it to our area and quickly set up for sparring. “Ok first will be Bane and Sam, seeing as Dark types are immune to psychics, Bane will have the advantage. Are you good with this?” Sam instantly glares at me.

“How am I gonna beat her then if she’s immune?”

“Do what you did to save me from the pack. Use the environment to your advantage. Are you good for this?”

“I guess so.” She replies.

“Great, let’s begin.” By this point a few of the off duty castle guard have appeared to watch us as well as a few castle staff. I set Sam at one end of the field and Bane on the other, I then stand on the side lines to call for the beginning. “Alright, here goes.” I then pick up my voice so all that are here can hear me. “Today we have a sparring match between the Kirlia, Sam and the Poochyena, Bane. Are you ready?” I call out but the last part for the crowd and the opponents. I get a round of nods in my direction. “Great, Let the battle begin……. NOW!”

At that call the fun began with Bane going in for a tackle with Sam uses psychic to pick up nearby items and throw them at her. The crowd stares in amazement as the debris are sent at Bane but to be instantly dodged and returned with a bite attack but is effortlessly dodged by Sam. Sam returns the offensive with more psychically thrown objects and scores a hit to Banes side knocking her over. The crowd ooed at the attack into Banes side but sigh in relief at seeing her get up and ready for more. Bane counter-attacked with another bite and scores a hit on Sam’s arm causing her to screech in pain and threw her off, Bane lands easily and stands back at the beginning awaiting Sam’s next move. Sam uses psychic again and throws rocks and wood at Bane and scores a hit to the pup making her topple over. Just as i’m about to call out Sam’s victory Bane begins to glow, the crowd stares in amazement at what is beginning to unfold.

“Bane’s evolving, finally, it has taken nearly too long.” I continue to look and watch as Bane begins to grow and change shape. The transformation takes no time and the glow disappears leaving a refreshed and slightly angry Bane behind. “Bane! You look awesome.” I call over. “But we still have a battle to finish. Seeing as you’re evolved and now refreshed I may as well give you more to fight, come on in Mawile.” Mawile look up and smirks slightly and runs in and stands by Sam. The Instant Mawile is in he begins the attack with Vice-grip and runs into Bane and chomps down with his horn/jaws holding and steadily crushing Bane, she smacks him off and scores him with bite knocking him back. The crowd is still watching and steadily growing, wanting to watch the battle unfold before them. Sam then throws a large barrage of projectiles at the Mightyena causing many direct hits and throwing her back to the other end of the field. I see that Bane has nearly had enough and decide to end the battle before she snaps. “Ok, I think this is done.” Mawile stares at me in disbelief, he didn’t even get much to do with the battle. I notice his annoyance “Mawile, you have plenty of time to battle but I think we can end it here, Bane looks like shes getting angry from being teamed up on. We can practice more down in Ponyville, is that ok?” I get a reluctant nod in agreement and I turn away to congratulate Bane and Sam. I grab out some pokeblocks I had stashed in the bag and passed them out to them all. “That was a really good battle today, Bane evolved and now looks badass and we all had some fun right?” They all nodded in agreement and then chowed down on their treats. “All in all a good day.” I look over to the crowd and see them looking at us questioningly. “You can all leave now. The show is over.” They all let out a groan in disappointment and walked off. We spent the next hour just hanging out in the field and playing together but we all stopped when we saw a carriage stop just beside us and a familiar purple pony hops out. She sees me and runs over but stops at seeing the intimidating Mightyena beside me.

“Rob. What is that thing beside you?” Twilight asks warily.

“That… thing is Bane, no more and an hour or so ago she had evolved while we were sparring.”

“Evolved? How is that possible. Evolution takes millions of years.” She states incredulously. I just shrug.

“Dunno, they just do. Why are you seeing me?”

“How do you not know? Nevermind, Don’t you remember? We agreed that I’d come back today and ask you questions and find out more about you.” I just stare blankly at her and Twilight facehooves herself. “You don’t remember do you?” I just shake my head and Twilight just smacks herself in the head again. “Are all your species this forgetful?”

“Nope” I answer simply, not really caring to abbreviate. She takes this as a good enough reason to continue.

“How old are you? How old can your species live? What is the technology in your world? What do you like to read? Are there many different types of Pokemon in your world?”..... at this point I stick my hand in her mouth to shut her up making Sam, Bane and Mawile laugh uncontrollably.

“That’s enough. I am 15 years old, We can live for about 80-95 years, our technology is advanced compared to yours. I like to read Sci-Fi and Fantasies. There are at last count about 350-400 different species of pokemon. If there are any more?” I get a nod in response, I shake my head in annoyance. “Fine a few more.” Taking my hand out of her mouth I give her time to speak.

“What’s your world like? Do you have many family?” I stop her there not wanting to answer more.

“I can’t really explain my world. The only way to know how it is is too see it yourself and I don't think you can do that can you?” She shakes her head. “And as for family, I only have my Dad.”

“What happened to your mother?”

“She died.” She looks at me pained in her stare.

“That must be hard?”

“I got over it but at times it can hurt.” ‘Why am I even telling her this?’ “But enough with all this depressing stuff can I ask something of you?”

“Sure, go right ahead.”

“Do you know any permanent translation spells?”

“I don’t know but I can always look and I might have one for you when you come down tomorrow.”

“Awesome.” I notice it is about lunch.

“Say, we are about to go for lunch. You wanna join us?”

“I’d love too. I know just the place in the city.” With that we all follow Twilight out of the castle not even being stopped by the guards and into the city. We walked for a few minutes while being gawked at by civilians and nobles alike. We continue to walk to a place called ‘The Princesses Brunch’ and sit at a table outside. Everyone sitting near us get up and move away.

“Well that is just rude.” Giving said ponies a glare making them uncomfortable.

“Rob, there is nothing to worry about.” Sam says to me getting agreement from Bane and Mawile.

“Well sure. There isn't anything to worry about NOW but……. ugh never mind.” I say in a huff and cross my arms. By this point a waiter has come out to see us to take our orders. WIth everyone getting a salad and Bane and I getting Pasta and wheatballs. Lunch was rather uneventful and after paying for the food we leave to go back to the castle for the afternoon. We make it back into the grounds and go back to our rooms for a nap, I sure as hell wanted one.

I lay in my bed with Sam curled up next to me sleeping soundly, I look down at her and smile. Happy with what I have.

Chapter 9

I wake up after our nap later than expected. Looking out the window to see it is the middle of the night. I turn back over and look at Sam sleeping there and think ‘what have we gotten ourselves into?’ Of course I came up with a blank and decided to sleep on it till morning.

MORNING

I wake up with Sam nudging me in the chest. Sitting up I can smell something wafting up to the bed. I stare where it came from and instantly my mouth waters. There is really one word to describe it, “BACON!” I shout with glee and fly off the bed and over to the table where our food sits in the morning, I sit down and instantly wolf it down savouring every bite. Sam who is still on the bed giggles at me for being so silly.

“You should have seen the face of the pony that brought that. I swear she nearly threw up all over it.” I stare in horror at what could have happened.

“Good thing it didn’t. Bacon is the world!” Finishing the golden food I get up and rouse the others. ‘No idea how they stayed asleep through that?’ The others get up grumply with one Bane taking a nip at me. “Guy’s get up, we have a big day today. We are going down to ponyville so grab everything so we can go.” After that everyone got up and had breakfast on what was provided. With that done we all grab some bags and head outside to find Princess’ Luna and Celestia waiting for us.

“Good morning Rob.” Luna calls to me happily.

“Mornin’” I reply simply, not being one to make a big thing from saying morning. “Coming to see us off?”

“Yes we are and to give you some advice.” Celestia says.

“And what would that be?”

“Well, You’re a new species here so ‘my little ponies’ will be wary of you. Throw in your pokemon they may become irrational. So when you land I suggest putting your pokemon away.”

“I’m not going to do that, If they get frightened then let them. I will not put them away even if they may look scary.” I adamantly reply.

“Well we better hope you know what you are doing.” Luna says. By this time a carriage has pulled to take us down to ponyville.

“Actually……” I say to Celestia. “How did you get the bacon for my breakfast?” I ask before I can’t.

“Bacon?.....” I takes only a moment to understand. “Oh that, I have that down in the store rooms for when the griffins and other predator ambassadors come around and how I know you eat meat? Twilight told me.” I smile at this.

“Thank you. Well if it isn’t too hard, can you send a few boxes down to my place….. wait a moment, Where is my place? I was never told.”

“You will be shown upon landing and yes I can have a few boxes sent down.” Celestia says with a wide smile.

“Thank you.” With it all said and a quick squeeze into the carriage we were off toward ponyville and home till I can leave. It was a quick flight of looking out over the land below, spying on the flyers above and ahead and having a good old chat between ourselves.

“What do you think it’ll be like down there?” Bane inquires through Sam.

“I honestly don’t know at all really. But what I am sure of though is that from this day on our lives are going to get interesting.”

“More than usual?”

“Maybe….. oh there it is!” Looking back out the window.

“We will be landing in a few moments, sit down and prepare for departure.” Came the droning voice of the guard flying the carriage.

“Ok, good. Everyone ready?” Getting a round of nods. “Great!” In the next moment we feel the carriage make a steady dive toward the ground, I take a peek outside and notice all the ponies are gathering around the main square. I look back into the carriage and notice everyone starting to get nervous, I put on a brave smile which makes them feel slightly better. We land with a thump and end up hitting our heads on the roof, we slow to a stop and sit for a moment to get our bearings. I look back out and gulp slightly with terrible nerves. “Ok, here goes.” I get up and open the door and climb out and stand by the door as the others climb out getting a round of gasps in their wake at seeing my small team. I ignore that and just stand there awkwardly trying to think of what to do next.

“Hello?” I say awkwardly like an idiot. “Weren't we expected? motioning to my companions. The next thing I knew was having my vision filled with pink and a loud excited voice in my ear.

“OHMYGOSHYOURFINALLYHEREIWASHOPINGYOU’DTURNUPTHISCHAPTER!I ALREADY HAVE THE PARTY SETUP!” Only hearing loud noise I threw the mystery pony off to see it is the one I saw a few days ago, what was her name? that’s right Pinkie Pie.

“PINKIE, The hell is wrong with you? and how did you get on my face?”

“DON'T EVEN QUESTION IT.” I hear yelled from the crowd, well I guess this is one of those things.

“Oh it’s you! Come on, we have a party for you to go too.” Pinkie turns around after suddenly getting off my face and disappears in a cloud of pink dust.

“Well then, I think we’d better be off to find our house for the time being.” My team and I walk awkwardly off to be nearly tackled by Rainbow Dash but was caught by Sam in a psychic move.

“HEY, LET ME GO RIGHT NOW OR I’LL BUCK YOU INTO TOMORROW!” She screams in anger. I walk up to her and smile at her angrily.

“And why should we do that? You were in the process of attacking me, what makes you think we’ll just ‘let you go’?” I inquire with an angry frown.

“BECAUSE YOU STARTED IT BY CUTTING ME!” She yells still trying to get at me.

“Up bup bup, this is where you are wrong. I defended myself for you started the matter by tackling me. Does this sound familiar?” I get an indignant glare for that remark. “Now… If we let you go will you stop with the advance or do we have to throw you around a little?” Seeing that i’m being serious she nods her head. I nod my head to Sam who drops her on the ground none to ceremoniously and walks off. “Good. Now run along.” I say and she slinks away none too happy with someone of the towns ponies snickering at her. It is at this time when the others appear. Firstly Twilight and then Rarity. Followed by Applejack and Fluttershy.

“Hello. I see you’ve made it. Come along so you can see your place as we’ve been informed by Celestia it will be somewhere with lots of space.” Twilight informs me as I follow her through the crowd, the others following in our wake.

“Hello, Rob is it? I like the outfit, where did you get it?” Rarity says as she pulls up next to me as we walk through the town to the east.

“I got them for my pokemon journey seeing as they are durable and immune to most affects that wild pokemon might throw at me.” I answer instantly diverging off toward Twilight and pretty ignoring her talking until we pull up to a large house on the eastern boundary of the town. It had a large front yard and pretty much it was large in general in comparison to the rest of the town. “This is an awesome house. Good thing i’m not paying for it.” I cheekily say getting a glare from them. “How many rooms does it have? And when can I go in?”

“It has about four to five bedrooms and two bathrooms and when you can move in, Now I suppose. But you’ll have to come out later for the welcoming party that has been planned. Now do please act surprised when you get there it was supposed to be a surprise.”

“Sure, Mom. I’ll get straight to it.” I turn back to my team and give them a massive smile. “LAST ONE IN'S A ROTTEN EGG!” I shout with glee as we rush for the door and run in with the others in hot pursuit and rush inside. The inside was way different to the outside so much so that we stopped in our tracks. It was trashed. So much so that our jaws hit the floor. “Welp, seems as though we’ve been tricked.” I swear I can hear Celestia laughing from here. “Might as well look around and check for anything usable. I search all over the house and find a large bed in the masters bedroom that wasn’t in a too bad condition but had moth eaten blankets and sheets and a working bathrooms, the rest of the house was pretty sparse.

“Well, I see why this place isn’t used. It’s a dump.” Sam, Bane, Mawile and I jump up on the bed and lay out on it to find it is also somewhat comfortable to sleep on. I look out at the sun to see it is early afternoon. “May as well sleep a few minutes.” I close my eyes and after a few minutes drift off curled up with my pokemon.

Party central

“Where is he?” Pinkie asks sadly. “I thought he’d turn up ages ago.” It was late afternoon and hours after Rob turned up but noponies seen him since he entered his house.

“Maybe he went for a nap and lost track of time. I’d better go get him.” Twilight states and rushes off toward Robs temporary home before Pinkie gets upset. After a good amount of running and a break or two Twilight finally makes it to Robs house and rushes in. “Rob! Are you in here?” I hear a groan or two and rush upstairs to get the silly human up, I stop at the door to the master bedroom and knock getting an annoyed grunt from the other side. I’m about to open the door when it opens suddenly with the humans Mawile standing at attention. He sees me and turns around to the human and whacks him with his jaw/horn thing.

“GAH, jeez Mawile, don’t do that. I nearly thought you were gonna eat me then…… Oh hi Twilight, what bring you down to my hovel?” Rob asks slightly miffed from the sudden wake.

“Your party was set up an hour ago and you haven’t turned up. If you don’t soon we’ll have to deal with a depressed Pinkie for the next few days.” Twilight states.

“But I hate Parties. I can’t socialise very well. DO I REALLY HAVE TO?” I plead at the end with a puppy dog stare, It was not effective.

“Too bad, we need you down there stat. Just for today ok, then you can get back to whatever you do.”

“Suuuuure, *sigh* fine, i’ll be right down.” I get out of bed and go to the cupboard and throw off my clothes in a flash and change into fresh gear. I dress up in a pair or dark grey jeans and a same coloured tee tee with a gray coat with red lining over that. With all that done we get up and rush off down stairs and out the door. “Bane.” She gives me a glance. “Can I ride you over to the party, now that you’re big i’ve been wanting to try it.” I get in reply but she does what I ask and leans and I jump onto her back. It is no sooner than i’ve got my bearings that she jumps from the start and sprints down the main street. I grab at her fur and nearly get thrown off. We make it to our destination quickly and easily and I finally hop off but land on my face in the process. Sam and Mawile just teleport over to us and stand by me as I get up and brush myself off.

“Nice one Bane.” I give a deadpanned stare which she replies with a cheeky growl.

“All in a days work.” Bane flashes me a tooth filled grin and scampers off to play.

“She’ll never grow up.” I smile as I take in the festivities and rush in to find something to eat noticing I haven’t eaten since breakfast. I’m poring over the food when I hear a gasp from behind me. I turn around and see Pinkie standing there, Smiling and staring creepily at me.

“You took your time.” Pinkie states as she stares at me more.

“I took a nap and forgot the time.” I nervously reply and start backing away.

“Well that is fine then.” Instantly relaxing. “But, don’t forget again.” I could tell in the sudden change in tone she meant it so I nodded and walked off. Before long the party was in full swing and everyone was having fun with my pokemon showing off for fun and me joining in but as all things the party began to wind down and soon everyone was leaving. After a few snacks and a play fight with the ponies we said our goodbyes and went home. It was late when we got back and everyone was tired but not as much as Sam and I. Bane and Mawile went upstairs to bed with Mawile giving me the stink eye while Sam and I stayed down stairs.

“Tonight was fun. Don’t you think so?” Sam asks almost dreamily.

“Yeah, I guess it was but….. tonight isn’t done yet. We still have a little time before we can sleep. How about a massage?” I ask almost nervously but without stammering.

“That sounds lovely.” Smiling at the suggestion.

“Good. Just lie down on the couch in the living room and we can begin.” I smile at her as I go into the living room with her trailing behind. I go over to the couch and examine it to find it is a fold down couch. I quickly do so and gesture onto the mattress on top of it. She quickly hops up and lies down face first on the mattress. Next comes the tricky part. I rub her shoulders and while digging into the joints a little causing her to gasp and moan in bliss. I take this as a go ahead and start rubbing over the body starting from the shoulder and moving around the neck. I then slowly but surely go down her back while digging into her spine causing more moans. I start to feel a little warm but try to ignore it. I continue on the spine till i make it to her hips where I stop. She looks over shoulder at me and gives a curious stare.

“Why did you stop? Aren't you going to do the rest of me?” Sam asks.

“I don’t know. Fine, I’ll do your hips and legs but don’t get any funny ideas if I stray too close to anywhere.” I ask. “Are you ready?” Which she nods too. “Here we go.” I go to messaging her hips and legs getting at all the kinks and muscles in her body and on more than one occasion accidentally brushing against the wrong points causing her to gasp. I instantly pull away and Sam turns over starting to look tired. “You tired now?” She nods at me and I pick her up. SHe struggles slightly but the massage made her tired so she fell asleep in my arms. I look at her there in my arms and hug her to my chest and give her a kiss to the cheek and nose. “You’re a good girl Sam, I just hope you think of me the same as I think of you.” I whisper to myself and carry her upstairs and lay her on the bed. I quickly undress and hop in and bring her to my chest where she hugs me back and I fall asleep.

The first thing to greet my day is someone laying on my face. I blink in confusion at the curious position i got myself in and look up to the culprit. Now you would all expect it to be Sam right. Wrong, I was badly woken with Bane lying on my face and all her fur was getting up my nose, I try to suppress a sneeze but it is no good, the noise that follows is sharp and loud making everyone wake up with a jump. Bane gets up and manages to stick a paw in my mouth making me choke, hearing me in pain she instantly pull her foot out with a rasp coming from me.

“Damn, that was bad. You wash your feet at all.” I growl at her. She bristles and growls at me menacingly. “Woah girl, no need for that.”

“Don’t comment about me then!” Bane growls at me through Sam’s telepathy.

“Ok, ok. Jeez. I’m hungry, I wonder if Celestia has sent down that food I asked for?” I get up off the bed with the others following me out into the hall and down the stairs. “You know, we really gotta stop sleeping together. It’s getting kinda awkward.” The others agree with me in their own way and continue on into the kitchen but Sam stays by my side. “What’s the problem?”

“Nothing, Just thinking.” She answers distantly. She looks down the hall and shrugs. “How about breakfast and then think about cleaning up today hmm?”

“Sounds like a good idea. I’ll also think about getting work to pay for you guys and for new furnature.” We walk into the kitchen to see it havoc. Mawile is having a go at Bane while she is getting into a box on the counter. I rush over and drag her away and grab the box. I look inside to see it is the bacon I asked for if somewhat chewed on my Bane. “BANE! Restrain yourself you silly pup. You aren’t to touch these, now go sit in the corner while I get food ready.” She complies with much complaint and grumbling. I look back to the food and shuffle through the cupboards in search for a pan. I search for a moment and realise that I had one in my bag. My hand meets my face with a crack causing everyone in the room to wince and me to groan. “Ow, I forgot the pans are in my bags. Bane, rush upstairs and grab it for me please.” Said pokemon gets up with a little complaining and bounds up the stairs to grab what I asked. She comes back down with said pan and passes it to me. “Thank you. If you all like, go outside and play or whatever you like till I’m ready.” They all do so and go out the front door and off to whereever they all wanted to do, leaving me to do all the work. I turn on the stove with releif at finding the gas working I quickly start with the Bacon and then go to the fridge and look inside to find it fully stocked. “I wonder who did that?” At that point a ball of pink fluff fills my vision causing me to gasp and pedal backwards into the table.

“I did silly. I noticed there was nothing in it last night and filled it just moments before you woke. Do you like it?” She says in a rush but I caught enough to answer.

“Of course I like what you did, though it is a little creepy that you came into my house.” I smile anyway and walk back to the fridge and look for some eggs but don’t see any but then I hear the sound of frying and look back with Pinkie already at work with the food. Putting eggs in and finish making breakfast. “What are you doing Pinkie?”

“Making breakfast you all silly, what else would I be doing?” She scoffs and starts spooning out the bacon and eggs. I smell the bacon, making my mouth water.

“Mmmm, The bacon smells awesome. I’ll be back, just gonna get the others.” I smile and head for the door and head out onto the busy street where everyone is going about their morning routines like heading to work and fillies going to school I guess. I look around not seeing anyone around, I head in a random direction is search of my friends and partners but I can’t seem to find them, I look back toward where I came and caught a quick glance of black and grey in the distance, I head in that direction hoping to get to them but stop at a sudden tug at my pants. I look down and see three little fillies looking up at me with curiosity in their eyes.

The first one to speak was a little white filly with a pink and purple mane and tail with a horn on her head. “Hello. Who are you?” She asks with a little timid undertone.

“I’m Rob and i’m in a hurry, I must be off.” I quickly turn away but get stopped by another tug at my leg. I look down with a scowl and was about to shove them off when they immediately give me the most powerful puppy dog stare I have ever seen, I was powerless. “Oh for the love of Arceus. Fine! What do you want?” I ask with a barely restrained scowl.

“We want to see those monsters that were with you?” A little orange filly with a purple mane and tail asked eagerly.

“They are not monsters, they are my Pokemon. My team, my family.” (I am well aware that ‘mon is a shortening for monster) I answer.

“Where are they?” A little cream filly with light red mane and tail with a pink bow on her head asks me.

“I don’t know but I was about to go after Bane my Mightyena before you stopped me now I’ve….. wait, you girls can help me. Will you help me find my Pokemon?” I ask hoping that they agree and so this doesn’t take longer than needed.

“YES.” After a pause they huddle together and yell at the top of their lungs. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS: POKEMON FINDERS. YAAY.” I have to cover my ears from the barrage of noise hitting me.

“Ok then, Now go and find them. Meet me back at my place.”

“Ok, Lets go!” They rush off with glee in their voices.

“Well that got rid of them.” I head back to the house to at least get some breakfast and come to the front door. I hear a commotion from inside the house and peek in and find everyone there.

“What took you?” Sam asked me with an obvious grin plastered on her face.

“I went looking for you guys.” Taking a seat at the table. “Where you all?”

“We went to the nearby park then headed to the markets and then back here.” She giggles.

“Doesn’t matter now, let’s just dig in.” I grab a plate on the table and instantly wolf down the food with much noise and disgust from all others in the room. “Anyways, what on the agenda today?” I ask.

“Well, we’ll need new furniture and the house will need a thorough clean. That only to name a few.” Sam says.

“Well ok then. I guess I’ll deal with the furniture while you guys clean the house. Sound fair?” I get a round of nods of approval. “Good, we’ll start after breakfast. So hurry up.” We all finished quickly and went our separate ways. Me going outside and the other dispersing throughout the house to begin cleaning. I have only made it down the front yard when the three fillies run up to me with downcast looks.

“We’re sorry mister.” They say in perfect unison. “We couldn’t find your friends, please forgive us?” I smile and bend down to their level and ruffle their manes.

“It’s ok girls, they’re fine. A matter of fact they were at home when I got there.” They just stare at me a moment and then the little cream and red one comes up and smacks me in the face to the others horror and my surprise. “What was that for?!”

“Fer tricking us and making us look fer something that wasn’t ther’” She then follows up with another smack but gets intercepted by white, pink and purple horned filly.

“Sorry mister. Applebloom can get a little harsh sometimes. Please excuse her behaviour.”

“Ow. That is fine. Anyways I haven’t been told your names other than Applebloom over here.” *gesturing to said filly*.

“Well I am Sweetie Belle and these are my friends Applebloom and Scootaloo.” Pointing to her friends.

“Well then, Sweetie Belle. It has been a pleasure but I have things to do so if you’ll excuse me?” I get up and walk off into the direction of town hall in the search of a job. It doesn’t take long to get to town hall seeing as it isn’t hard to notice over the other buildings. I make for the door and walk in to the sight of an attendant filing papers behind her desk. I’ve been wondering why most of the ponies are female but that is a question for later. I walk up to the unsuspecting attendant and clear my throat causing her to jump and smack her head on the desk.

“Ow, that hurt!” She exclaims in fright. She looks up over the desktop and sees me. “Oh. You must be that new pony we’ve all been hearing about. Welcome to town hall. Who are you here to see?”

“For starters i’m not a pony. I am human. Secondly I am here to meet the Mayor. Is he/she free at the moment?” I say in a rush.

“Yes she is. I can send you in in just a moment. While you wait you can just sit on one of the chairs around the room.” I nod and sit over by the wall while the attendant goes into where I suppose the mayors office is. I don’t have to wait long till a tan and two tone gray maned mare comes walking out of the room with her attendant at her tail.

“Or you come out to see me. Hello, you must be the mayor.” I get up and walk over to the two mares. I stop and shake her hoof in greeting.

“Yes I am and you must be the new hooman that is out and about. Where are your friends?” She asks.

“At home, that is actually why I came in today. I am after a job to pay for new furniture and food in the house. Are there any available?”

“I am not sure, I think I could look around but till then have a look with the local places, they may have one for you.”

“Thank you mayor. Do you think you could inform me if or when you find something?”

“Yes I can, Now I think you must be off. Go and have a lovely day.” The mayor says.

“Thank you very much.” We shake hand/hoof and then go our separate ways. Me going outside to do some searching while the mayor does some searching of her own. I step out into the street and look around. “This is gonna be a long day.”

Home with Sam

Rob had only been gone for no more than a few minutes and we were almost done the bottom floor. Jobs are done a lot quicker when you can move a large amount of things with your mind but the job was beginning to get tiring. I look up the hall where I can hear the others talking together. About me and Rob I suppose. It has been getting a lot more frequent recently for some reason. I hear a funny noise coming from the end of the hall where Bane and Mawile were having a conversation, I look up and see them looking towards me but their eyes drift away as we make contact as though to feint interest. I have almost had enough and about to go over there to set things straight when I hear a knock at the door. I head over and open it to be greeted by a trio of fillies.

The first to speak was a little white and pink/purple horned one. “Hello… We just wanted to come over and say hi. We didn’t get to see you yesterday so we decided to visit now. What are you up to?” Boy was she a curious one I thought. I look back toward Bane and Mawile and give them a death glare and then invite the girls in.

“Why exactly are you here?” I ask. “I am a little busy at the moment so if you don’t want anything you’ll need to stay out of the way.” I pick up a brush and bucket with my powers and drag them around the room cleaning up everything I see. The three girls are staring in rapt attention of my ability, at the fine movements that I make with it and the smoothness of my control.

“We… are….. here….. to…. ask…. about… you.” The speaker's voice is spoken haltingly as though spoken in a trance. I suppose they were for they followed all the movements I made. I stop my power and wave my arms in their faces getting their attention and causing them to fall over.

“Ask about what?” I ask.

“What? Oh, oh yeah. That! Umm….. We wanted to ask you how you got here and what you are?” This time an Orange filly with a purple mane and tail spoke.

“Oh, how we got here is still a mystery, something to do with a Twilight.” This made the girls giggle at an inside joke and stare agape at what she managed. “And as to what I am. I am a Kirlia, a Pokemon if you will but I go by the name of Sammy or Sam for short.” “I don’t think I got your names.”

“Oh right!” Says the White and pink/purple filly. “I am Sweetiebelle, or Sweetie for short and these are my best friends. Applebloom and Scootaloo.” Gesturing to a cream coloured and light red maned filly with a pink bow in her hair and an Orange and Purple maned filly.

“Cute names. It is a pleasure to meet you all. Is there anymore you wanted?” I ask.

“Not really. We just came by to look at you guys and then leave.” They sneak a peak down the hall at Bane and Mawile and their faces go instantly pale. “Change of plans, we got what we wanted so lets go, see you around Sam.” They say in unison and run for the door and leave. I smile as they leave and get back to work.

Home with Bane and Mawile

“Bane, do you think that Sam and Master being together is a good idea?” Mawile asks.

“No idea but no matter how it turns out we had better hope it is for the best.” Bane replies.

“I don’t like it.” Stealing a glance and getting a hard stare in return. I look away fast pretending that I wasn’t just doing anything wrong. “I can only see this relationship going badly and it would be better for all of us if it was sooner than later.”

“Oh Mawile, You’re thinking too much. They will be fine, call it female intuition, I don't care but they will be happy together so no trying to break them apart.”

“I sure hope you’re right.”

Two freaking hours, that is how long I waited for an appointment at the townhall and I was getting bored. I look around at everyone else in the room, they stared back at me the same way. BOREDOM is not a word I take lightly, I absolutely despise it and try to avoid it at all costs. I decided to jump out of my room on the second story at home one time because I was bored, why I decided to do that was beyond me but anyways that was that. I come out of my daydream and go back to sitting around. I decide I had enough and walk out of the room and away from the deathly boredom. I walk in a random direction not even caring where I go and eventually end up surrounded in trees. I look up and around and seeing no one I sit down by the nearest trunk and take a nap.

I don’t know how long I’ve been sleeping but I feel a bump nearby and It stirs me into wakefulness. I look in the direction that the sound was coming from and notice a normal gray pony with a red and yellow mane walking through the trees. Now this wouldn’t matter too much to me but that wasn’t what was getting to me about him. From what I could see, he would sometimes get up onto his hind legs and then whack his front hooves together and a flame would appear between them. Instantly curious and get up and sneak up behind him to see more. He walks into a clearing up ahead and then starts to chant in a strange language. His chanting starts to quicken and with the words things begin to happen. His body begins to become awash in flames and start to take the shape of armour. Next he gets back up onto his hind legs and stays there while a sword of solid flames take shape at his hip. I notice he is beginning to strain with the effort and soon enough the spell dissipates. He gets back down with disappointment clear on his face and starts to walk back to town. I jump out as he comes up to my up to hiding place and stop him in his tracks. He looks at me a moment and never seeing me before he went into a defensive stance.

“Who are you?” He nearly shouted with clear fear and anger in his voice. He comes up to hind legs and his front hooves become awash in flames again. “What do you want with me?” He cries.

I step back in reflex and reach for the knife I keep in my jacket. (refer to past chapters for proof of this claim) He notices this and fires a blast of flames in my direction. I pull my hand away from the hidden place and put my arms to my sides. “I am not here to hurt you but from the way your pointing those flames at me you have more intent of harm than I do.” I say with slight fear melding into my voice.

“Answer my questions.” He snaps at me.

“Okay, okay. My name is Rob and I am human. I had no intentions for you seeing as I only noticed you not five minutes ago practicing what I suppose is a extremely difficult elemental spell. Am I right?” He begins to calm down and goes back down onto all fours.

“That is correct. Say hooman, how are you here? I have never heard of a hooman before.” He inquires.

“That is quite sound, I am not from around here as you say but that info is better left unanswered.” I say calming down myself and put my hands into my pockets. “I do have a question for you. How are you doing magic? From what I have observed so far earth ponies as you’re called can’t do magic.”

“I am special.” I can tell he’s uncomfortable with an answer so I let it slide. For now.

“At least give me a name.” I say.

“My name is…… FireDancer.” He says.

“That name suits you well. Say, Could you show me more of your abilities sometime?” I ask as he and I head back for town.

“I could but it’ll cost ya.” I nod at that.

“Or I tell everyone that you’re a magic user and from what I saw that’ll get a lot of attention which I also noticed by you coming out where no one can see you that that is something you don’t want.” I give him a smartass look and then continue walking. I take about five steps and I notice him not moving and look back at him and see the fury in his eyes.

“You wouldn’t dare.” He growls at me.

“Oh I could but I won’t for the sake of keeping a secret.” I say making he stop dead with a retort halfway out of his mouth. I smile and continue off back to town and home completely forgetting about the job search. FireDancer follows close behind and to the side.

“You are a sneaky creature, aren’t you?”

“Not really but I have my moments and you’ve been pronouncing Human wrong.” I say then rush for home. I stop at home slightly out of breath and still being tailed by this strange pony. I turn back to him. “Why are you still tailing me?”

“I wanted to know where you live so I could rob you blind…. I joking. To tell the truth I have no home. I was kicked out of my home and all my stuff is still there but I’m not allowed to get them. Can I stay with you?” His request is quite sudden and I don’t know what to say.

“Umm, Sure I guess but I have others living with me so don’t be stupid.” I turn back to the door and walk in to see the house pretty much spotless. “Wow, they did an amazing job.” I say to myself.

“Rob, is that you?” I hear the unmistakable voice of Sam entering my mind.

“Yes, Sam. I am home and I have a guest.” I call out to the curious stares of the stallion.

“Who are you talking to?” FireDancer asks me. He must think me insane.

“Oh, you’ll see. Sam can you grab the others and bring them to the front room?” I call into the far reaches of the house.

“Right away.” The next moment we hear a scuffle from the back of the house and the unmistakable sound of them coming down stairs. The first to appear is Mawile and upon seeing him FireDancer panics and jumps onto his hind legs and preparing to defend himself.

“Hey, Fire. No need for that. These are my friends, now calm down.” He gives me an incredulous glare but does as asked. The rest have now come into the room and sat down around the place. “Now Fire, these are my friends and team. The first i’ll introduce you to is Mawile.” Mawile nods in my directions and flashes his jaw/horns in Fire’s direction making him feel uncomfortable. “The next is Bane my Mightyena, she may look scary but she is really just a big softy, aren’t you.” I get a growl in response of the remark. “And last but not least. Sam, my Kirlia. She is my friend and partner of the team.”

“They are quite the unique bunch.” Fire says and then settles into a nearby chair.

“Very much so. Now who’s up for a battle.” I randomly suggest getting a round of acknowledgement from the others.

“Battle? Why would you fight each other?” Fire asks, bewildered from the suggestion.

“Battle, yes. Back where i’m from we battle to become stronger and to gain a connection with our pokemon. Now, I know a good place to practice. A place Fire informed me of with his practicing in there. Let’s go.” I start to leave but have been stopped in my tracks by Sams psychic powers.

“No you don’t. We will eat and pack before we leave. You must be hungry because we are. We’ve been cleaning all day and what have you been doing? Not much I bet. Now come.” She commands me. I do as she says not wanting to see an angry Kirlia and follow her into the kitchen followed by the others. We had a quick meal on sandwiches and juice and then packed some snacks for later. With all that done we were off for a fun afternoon of destruction.

We make it there in good time and set everything up. I sit in the side lines as everyone takes their places. Fire Is still perplexed as to what is going on and just decides to watch. The Battle begins with Bane and Mawile stepping up to the field and I call out the match.

“THIS WILL BE A ONE V ONE BATTLE. THE BATTLE WILL END WHEN ONE IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE OR OUT OF THE FIGHT. LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!” I shout with glee. With the last word the Pokemon attack each other in a blur of motion. hitting, biting and tackles are sent at each other and steadily both combatant slow down and eventually stop with them both standing at the opposite ends of the field, both unwilling to fall. We all watch them waiting. Waiting for a winner. What we didn't expect was for both to simultaneously feint. “Well that is something. Never saw that before.” I go over and hug and the combatants. “You both did well.” I pull out my pokeballs and press the buttons to make them grow then put the pokemon inside. Fire stares in shock at everything that happened.

“This has to be the most eventful day i’ve had in ages.” He then proceeds to pass out.

It was a week ago since I met the strange stallion. After he awoke we headed homeward and spent the rest of the day chatting. He seemed to be an accomplished mage, he liked to tell about his abilities in the elemental magics especially fire. His latest spell he was learning which he dubbed: The Elementalist Armour has only been practiced for about a week and the day I saw him was the furthest he ever got with it. He also told me he was a practiced teleporter and conjurer. He had the ability to summon beasts from thin air but haven’t gotten very far with it, just managing timber wolves and cockatrice and hopefully get strong enough for elementals, and as the week went by he showed me his ability with them in the very same field as before, by the end of the week let’s just say that it never looked the same again.That leaves us to our current day and I have been asked to visit Twilight for questioning.

I stand outside the door of the library nervous. I’m not nervous often but I have a feeling today is going to be very tiring. I go to knock the door but before I could it slams me in the face causing me to fall over painfully and rolling around the ground gripping my nose and face in general. “Ow! The fuck was that!” I cry aloud and look through my hands and see certain ponies giggling at me. I look toward the culprit and come eye to eye with me aggressor: Twilight Sparkle. She looks down at me and notice me gripping my face like a vice.

“OH MY GOSH, ARE YOU OK?” She cries in shock. She kneels down next to me to get a closer look.

“No i’m not thanks to you.” I look to her and notice the tears at the corners of her eyes but I was in too much pain to care. “Let’s just get inside before I change my mind. Help me up.” She instantly does so feeling really guilty with herself for hurting me and leads me inside. She sits me down in a sofa off to the side of the room.

“Wait just there. I’ll just go get you some ice for that nose and some bandages.” I scowl weakly and nod while gripping my face. I take my hand away to assess the damage and see my nose is bleeding and my nose is broken.

“Well fuck.” I say to myself quietly. I put my hands to my nose and quickly and painfully crack it back into place. “Ow, That’s gonna hurt for a while.” By this time Twilight is coming back into the room and sees me putting my nose back into place. She hisses at the painful scene.

“Now…” passing me the bandages and ice. “Back to the main reason you’re here. I’ve been here a week and I’ve been itching to ask you questions like about your home and your species. Are you ready?” She asks almost professionally. I give a quick nod and hiss in pain from doing so.

“Ok now to start. I’ll start with your companions. What are they?”

“My Pokemon. Please be more specific.”

“Ok then, what are the name of their particular breed and as I saw from back at Canterlot their abilities?”

“The Dog pokemon is Mightyena, she is a dark type able when taught to use an array of abilities according to her type. The tan and black coloured pokemon is called a Mawile, he is a steel type and finally Sam, she is a Kirlia, a psychic type able to do an array of abilities with her mind. As for the abilities they are generally named simply. Through the battle, Sam used psychic to move and strike at Bane with which at that point was called Poochyena. Poochyena used a lot of moves like tackle and Bite. I forgot to mention Psychics are useless against dark type, don’t tell her I said that or she’ll kill me, that is all i’m going to share on that. Next?” Seeing that she isn’t going to get more of an answer goes onto the next.

“Ok, how many different species are there in your world?”

“Between two hundred and fifty and three hundred. I can’t remember after the last count.”

“And they all have powers?”

“Of course.”

“Extraordinary.” She grabs a notepad and starts furiously writing down notes. “You called them types, how many are there?”

“Seventeen.”

“Care to recall them all?”

“Sure, there is the Fire, water, earth, stone, poison, dark, psychic, steel, flying, fighting, normal, ground, lightning, ghost, grass, dragon and ice.”

“Wow. Ok, well how about you?”

“Me?”

“Yes you, I want to know about your species. How old are you?”

“Fifteen. I was supposed to start my journey at ten but I stalled. I didn’t feel like I was ready.”

“Ten!? That is so young.” Continuing to scribble. “Why do you start so young?”

“I have no idea but that was how it was. I suppose it’s so people have enough time to train their pokemon to be strong enough to become champion.”

“Are those three the only ones you have?”

“Yes they are, I had only got Mawile just before you brought us here. Good thing too because at that time we were falling to our deaths.”

“Really. Well i guess that is a good thing then.”

“You saved our lives I guess. This chat has been quite nice but I got to go, I have another thing to catch.” We talked for hours after but eventually slowed down to a stop.

“Really. A little longer?” Twilight almost pleads.

“Nope sorry. I gotta dash. Things to do, pokemon to train and games to play.” Suddenly Pinkie Pie flies out of a bookshelf and lands in between us.

“He’s not really got anything to do. The author just wants him away from you to play with Sam and watch FireDancer practice his Elemental magic.” I stare at her with mouth agape and Twilight just facehooves!?

“Wha? How? How did you........?”

“Don’t even question it, you’ll get a headache.” I let it slide but vow to figure out how she did that.

“Well im off.” I quickly get up and rush for the door and hurry away for home. I rush by not caring if anyone waved or not and got home faster than expected. I rush into the main room passed a confused Bane that is lying on the sofa taking a nap and into the backroom nearly smacking into FireDancer while he’s sitting at a bench messing with his magic creating fireballs that float in mid air and summoning creatures then sending them away. “Woah, they there FD. Whatcha up to?” I ask.

He turns to me in fright at not noticing my entry and nearly blast me with his fire. “Jeeze, you scared the hell out of me. For a moment I thought you were someone else.”

“Yeah, yeah. All’s good. What you doing?”

“I was just messing with my magic, getting stronger. Wanna see something i’ve been working on?”

“Sure, I guess. What you got?”

“I can just about complete the Elemental Armour sequence. Wanna see?”

“Sure I guess. Go ahead.”

He gets up and goes into the middle of the room and gets up on his hind legs again. His front hooves begin to catch fire and fire quickly and steadily moves over his body until he is covered from head to hoof in it. Next the fire begins to thicken and solidify. that is soon complete and the armour is done. It looks like a suit of fiery plates covering his entire body but flexible. He then begins to concentrate harder and a short sword forms at his hip and a bow at his back.

I stare with praise and surprise in my eyes. It was complete, I couldn’t see the strain and surprise in his eyes when he completed the spell but I could feel his happiness and smiled at his achievement. “Holly crap! It’s complete, can you even hold this?” I get a weak nod in return.

“Once complete it fuels itself until I call it off of me. It is strong enough to stop a manticore attack and flexible enough to move around in as normal.” He then dispels the armour and slumps down on the ground tired. “It is -pant- still difficult to summon -pant- but after -pant- a bit I think it will come easily.” He gets up and walks outside and I follow close behind.

“So when are you telling that you have magic?” He stares at me surprised.

“Since when will I tell anypony about my magic!”

“You’ve got to eventually. It’s better now than later. I’m sure they’d like to know that you are a magic user.”

“Or they chase me out of town for being a monstrosity.” He sighs and slumps over again.

“What? Being a magic user makes you a monstrosity?”

“It’s the manner I got my power. I wasn’t born this way. I was… augmented.”

“How? Who?”

“I do not know, afterwards I had my memory wiped and that’s all I remember.”

“Well that is the past. Look to the future and show them what you’re made of.”

“Are you sure?” FireDancer inquires.

“Of course i’m sure.” “I won’t tell you to do this, it is your choice but it must come out one way or another.” I turn away and leave him to think over the decision and head inside. By this time it is about mid to early afternoon so I headed to the kitchen for lunch and a snack. I walk into the kitchen and stop dead when I see Rainbow dash in front of me. “What the hell do you want?”

“I want payback.” She growls at me. I gulp in anxiety, not knowing what is going through her head at the moment.

“And how do you plan on getting that?” I ask.

“I will fight you. No help from your friends and none from mine. It will be a fair one versus one. Is this clear?”

“Very.”

“Good. It will be tonight at Whitetail woods.. Prepare yourself for an ass whooping.” With that she is out the open window and away in a flash. I gulp.

“What have I gotten myself into?” I ask myself not knowing that a certain pokemon was eavesdropping.

“A lot of trouble.” I hear the distinct voice of Sam in my mind and turn around to look at her completely forgetting lunch. “You really had to do this didn’t you. If you do this we could end up in some deep trouble.”

“Well i’d better prepare for a fight this afternoon or…….” I never got to finish before i’m interrupted.

“NO! You will not fight this afternoon. You’ll only be feeding her anger. Just find a different way.”

“*sigh* Do I really have to? Sometimes you really like to act like my mother.”

“If I didn’t then you’d be in a lot more situations like this. Now, you will spend the rest of the day preparing for when it comes time to do this you’ll need to be ready or find another way to resolve this.”

“Ugh. Fine…… Mother.” I end with a cheeky laugh causing Sam to smack me across the face enough for me to wince.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was time. I had spent the last few hours preparing for this afternoon and now I was as ready as I was gonna be. Me and my Pokemon walk down the road heading for the meetup point at the edge of the whitetail woods. With a few direction from passing ponies on the way to the fight we made it just in time to see Rainbow flying in like a showoff. Everyone is applauding and whooping with anticipation at the coming event of the evening.

“Well I’m screwed. Do you think there will be a way to get out of this without humiliation.”

“Not really.” I hear from behind me and see Twilight walk up. “You must do this or else you will lose all respect from everypony in town. They came for a fight and if you left there will be a riot.”

“Well I’ll do my best then.” I then take my jacket off and give it to sam and walk up to the ring that was put up for us. I climb the stairs and crawl through the fence and stand at one end. I then look to the skies to see Rainbow still showing off. I call up to her “Get down here so we can do this thing! You’re only tiring yourself with those tricks.” She seemed to have heard me and as quick as a flash flies down and lands on the other end of the ring.

“Aaaaah. It seems that you made it. Are you ready?” I nod in anticipation. “Good. Lets begin with the rules: No biting, No weapons, No Clawing, No gouging and finally no below the belt. Go it?” I nod again. “Good.” She then looks over to Pinkie to whom I didn’t notice come right up between us in the moments we were standing there. “You call the start.” She gives a nod and we head to the side lines as she stands in the center.

“MARES AND GENTLECOLTS!” Everyone then quietens down and looks to the ring. “WE HAVE A SPECIAL EVENT FOR YOU ALL TONIGHT, DASHIE HAS CHALLENGED ROBBY TO A FIGHT AND HE HAS ACCEPTED.” She then clears her throat and continues. “THIS FIGHT WILL GO UNTIL A CHALLENGER IS UNABLE TO CONTINUE OR HE OR PULLS OUT OF IT.” She looks back at us with a nod and we both nod back. Rainbow with a smile and a smirl, me with a resignation. “WELL THEN….. Let the challenge begin!” And as quick as anything Pinkie was out of the field and Rainbow was at me.

“Her first strike is for my jaw which I block easily but wasn’t prepared for the next strike to the gut. I groan slightly but quickly recover while pulling back for a moment. She comes at me again before I was ready and gets another hit in at my jaw. I can feel the teeth crack from the strike and hear the cries and hollers from all watching. I decide to go for the attack and quickly go into quick probing strikes which were blocked with ease, I continue with speed but I can already feel my arms burning and bruising up. I go for a feining move and while she’s distracted I get her right in the jaw then quickly into the chest and gut making her stumble back a few steps dazed. I take full advantage and go into a series of fast punches and focused open palm shoves to wind her further. I was so focused on the attack that I didn’t find the time to defend as she comes around and swipes my legs out from under me. I go down with a thud and feel a rib crack. I hiss in pain and pull myself up slowly onto my knees seeing Rainbow in much better a state waing on the other end of the field.

“You really want this to continue?” I wheeze as I get back up onto my feet while swaying slightly.

“You humiliated me in front of everypony. I can’t forgive that, I just want to be seen as strong again.” I can see moisture growing in her eyes.

“Have you seen everyone all day? They have been adoring you. They don’t think you’re weak. Now are you going to stop this?”

“I can’t do that. It’s too late.” She says with an instant flash of fire in her eyes. I nod in resignation and then get back into position.

“Well then. Continue.” That is all the prompt she needed as she comes at me with reckless abandon. I swerve to the side to dodge her flailing hooves from hitting me and trip her as she passes. i could see the surprise in her eyes as I did that and couldn’t look at her as she landed in a heap on the floor. I look back and see her heaving while trying to get up. Seeing as this was getting too much I put my arms down and kneel by her no the floor and pick her back up.

“You have done enough. Just end this or I will.” She nods at me with tears rolling down her face.

“Fine, that is enough.” She then looks to the ground and heads for the middle of the ring. I follow suit and stand in the center. As if nothing happened Pinkie appears in the middle of the ring and waits for everyone to quieten down. We both stand on either side looking the much the worse the wear.

“Okay everypony. It seems that is the end to our fight this evening. Now it’s time to give the winner.” I choose this time to bend down and speak into her ear and get a gasp and nod from her. “It seems that Rob has pulled out of the fight leaving Dashie as the victor. Yaaaaay!” Everyone cheers for my fow. I look at her and her to me with a quizzical glare.

I lean over “Sometimes you just gotta know when enough is enough. I chose then to do so….. cause you were being too stubborn to do it earlier.” I decide this was also a good time for something else. “I’m also really sorry for hurting you. Now I don’t expect you to forgive me but at least no hard feelings?” I put my hand out to her which she stares at for a moment thinking.

She then puts her hoof into mine and shake.





“No hard feelings.” The next I see Is a bright light and ponies panicking.

The flash was blinding. I couldn't see for a several seconds and all I heard around me was chaos. I blink my eyes several times to get my vision back and I almost wished I hadn't. There were monster's everywhere. They ranged from between wooden Mightyena's and Running all over the place chasing the ponies all over. I had to get into action fast or someone may get terribly hurt. I look left and right and see my pokemon still standing disoriented.

"GUYS! Get yourselves together. We have some fighting to do". Everyone quickly shakes off the disorientation and rushes up to stand beside me. "Okay Pup. I want you to deal with the wooden wolves any way you can." Pup nods and takes off and into the fray. "The rest of us will help in anyway we can." We all rush at the beasts and furiously smash them apart with the help of Sams psychic and Mawiles dark attacks and bite. We were smashing through the enemy when one of them tackle me from behind and bites me in the side ripping my flesh open then blood going everywhere.

"AHHHHHHHH" I scream in agony as I feel my life force leave my body. Sam must have sensed my distress and turned back toward me. The scream she gave was said to be heard all the way beyond Canterlot I heard about later. I felt cold and my eyes became heavy and began to close as I saw her kneel by my side and cradle my head in her hands as the chaos continued around us. Just before my eyes closed fully I herd the sound of rushing flames and howls of pain and then a light being given off by Sam.


I awoke with a start to find myself in my room and on my bed with the feeling of someone laying by my side. "Must have been a terrible dream......" I whispered as my eyes started to close again. I felt a shuffling in the sheets behind me, thinking it was Sam I turn over to give her a hug and find myself with a face full of buxom. I reel back on the bed to see better and laying by my side is a sleeping Gardevoir in a pair of shorts and a blouse I had in my packs. "Sam........?". The sleeping Gardevoir stirred in her sleep and made a cute grumbling noise. I nudge the sleeping shape and call again. "Is that you......... Sam?" The Gardevoir finally opened her eyes and looked at me sleepily. As soon as she saw me her eyes went wide and crushed me in a tight hug.

"You're awake!" She yelled happily and still with me crushed up to her chest in a hug.

"Of course I'm awake. What I care about more is how you evolved again and why we are sleeping together alone. Where is everyone else?" I ask while trying to get out of her grip.

"You don't remember yesterday?" She asked. I shake my head in negative.

"No I do not. Can you please tell me what happened?" She told me everything that happened yesterday up until the part with me being nearly killed.

"After you passed out I evolved and something else must have happened too, I think I melded my life force with yours. which also healed all your injuries but you were out like a light so I teleported you back here and put you in bed."

"What happened to the wooden wolves?" I asked.

"Them. They were chased out by Pup and Mawile and your new friend FireDancer and then went to hospital to have their injures treated." she replied.

"And the ponies?"

"Mostly uninjured, some got away with a few scratches, bruises and at worst a broken bone or two."

"That's relieving." I answer........ "Wait a minute, my life force was melded with yours?"

"Yes".

"Does that mean I'll always know where you are, how your feeling and such?" I ask.

"Yes and I can feel you." she replied.

"Great" I pause as I begin feeling a strange tingling in the back of my mind and the sudden urge to hold Sam close. I grab her and she giggles.

"I notice that you can sense me. Good".

"What do you mean?" I asked couscous of what she may have in mind.

"Oh nothing........ Just this".

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"


"You know you didn't have to jump on me and crush me in that mass of hugs and kisses you know". I say as we walk down the street to find my other pokemon that have gone off to do their own thing.

"I was just so worried when you didn't wake up to begin with but I knew you would be safe and sound so I slept with you till you awoke". We continued looking until we found Pup in the park giving rides to all the foals and letting them pet her. "Ah there she is. You think we should just leave her be?"

"I reckon that is a fine idea. We'll go find Mawile and then come back for her." I admit and then walk off with Sam at my heels in search of that Mawile. "If I was a Mawile, where would I go?"

"I expect he may have gone off with FireDancer, He was with him last I remember".

"Okay, well we'll go find FireDancer then and I may know where he is". I rush off in the direction of the Everfree and into the trees, in the direction of the grounds we met in. It didn't take long to get there and my guess was right as I find them standing in the center practicing with their powers. I could see Mawile off to the side attacking the trees and some practice dolls that were put together and I saw FireDancer in the middle showing with his abilities with his armor on.

"Hey guys". I call out and they both turn to me as Sam comes up from behind me. The other two walk over to us.

"You recovered quickly. I am glad to see you up and about". FireDancer says jovially while Mawile smiles and punches me in the arm.

"Ow" I wince. "So what's been happening since I was out?" I ask.

"Well after you nearly got yourself killed yesterday, we all just went around doing whatever to pass the time. I noticed that Pup has gotten in very well with the foals."

"I noticed that as I came looking around for you guys. We'll be picking her up later."

"What do you wants us for anyway?" FireDancer asked.

"We're going after that pack of creatures that attacked us yesterday."

"Those Timber wolves. Sounds like some fun, there is no need though. A good number were wiped out yesterday by you guys and I doubt they will be coming back anytime soon".

"If your sure".

"Of course I'm sure. Go. Have some fun, go meet up with your friends. I'll just be here practicing then I'll be back".

"Sure. Mawile, you coming with me?" He nods in accent. "Good, Sam can you teleport us to town now?" She nods then with a flash we all reappear outside our house. "Good. Now, let's go see Pup and go out for lunch. I'm famished". Sam giggles at that and Mawile just rolls his eyes and they follow me into town to retrieve pup. We stop by the park to see pup curled up under a tree with a plethora of foals snuggled up to her asleep which caused the biggest 'Dawwww' from Sam and I. We sneak up on pup and tap her on the head to which she looks toward me and smiles. She starts to get up but stops dead in her tracks as she sees something colorful flying right at us. Something with a Rainbow contrail.

I look in the direction that she is and gets the massive surprise a tackle right to the chest and flung about thirty feet away into the dirt with a Pegasus sitting on my lap. "Hello. You're awake. How are you?"

"I was fine until you tackled me Rainbow Dash". I climb out from under her and feel around for any damaged bones, I look up to see the others looking at me with dumb struck expressions and Sam with a silent giggle on her lips.

"HA Ha really funny". That was the very moment I had to trip and fall on my face.

It has been a several months since the attack and everyone has been going about their lives as though it never happened. I, on the other hand wasn't doing so great. I was feeling homesick, It would've been worse if it weren't for the attention I was getting from Sam and the others. She had started getting rather clingy after she fully evolved, always wanting to be by my side, with the excuse of keeping me safe. Which is true, she has gotten me out of trouble a few times in the last couple months, which I have been grateful for. It has been getting rather cool recently, snow must be just on the horizon is what i'm feeling when I wake up for the morning again, I climb out of bed, trying my best not to wake, Sam, who yet again has climbed into bed with me. I make my way downstairs and make myself and the others breakfast, when i'm done, I begin to hear the sounds of everyone else waking up and coming downstairs. The first to arrive is Sam, as always, seeing as she can teleport and then the rest make it down, all looking still a bit drowsy.

"Hey guys!" I say as I take a seat at the table with all the plates set out and ready for the others. Everyone get into their seats and dig in, with somewhat less gusto than I remember. They all look at me, all tired, all about ready to go to sleep again on the spot. "What's wrong? Didn't you lot get any sleep last night?" I look to Sam, awaiting an answer.

"They haven't been sleeping well recently." She replies as she goes back to eating. I shrug it off and continue to eat. When we are all done, I step outside and head out into the woods, with the ever faithful Sam at my heel. We walk for a little while and I stop and turn to her.

"Sam." I instantly get her attention. "I have noticed, ever since the attack and I was injured and your evolution, it has come to my attention that you have become somewhat close to me." She can sense my suspicion and stands there abashed as she wiggles her feet into the soil below her. "Mind telling me what is going on?" Her face instantly explodes into a blush and she goes to cover her eyes with her sinuous hands. I grab them and sit them in mine as I wait for her answer. She just sits there embarrassed for a moment but then she does something I wasn't completely expecting, she leaned in faster than I could react and plants a kiss to my lips. She pulls away and yanks her hands out of mine and then covers her face in embarrassment. I just stand there stunned at her stunt and feel my insides warm up. I can feel a slight tingling on my lips as I reach up and run a finger over where she kissed me.

"Sam?" I ask. "What does this mean?" I already had an inkling but I wanted to hear this myself.

"I.........love...........you." She replies in a whisper

"What was that?" I can feel a small smile grace my lips as I say this but I keep it in check in time.

"I ...... LOVE YOU!" She suddenly shouts. This startles me and I fall on my back as I reel away in slight fright. She instantly regrets shouting at me and catches me before I hit the ground, she stands me back up and before I have time to say anything, she disappears.

"Sam!" I cry, but it is too late, she has disappeared. "Damnit!" I cry as I run back towards the house, I make it to the front door just as Pup, crashes out of it and pins me to the ground. 'Shit!' I cry internally. Pup continues to stand on me, growling as though ready to rip my throat out and I couldn't do a thing. She suddenly stops at some unheard command and lets me up, but she doesn't let me go, she takes the fabric of my shirt in her mighty jaws and leads me inside and into the living room where she throws me onto a waiting couch and then storms out. I am dumbstruck that one of my team had the nerve to do that, I will have to punish her later but that though instantly leaves my head as I notice and extra presence in the room. It wasn't Pup, she had walked out, if it was Mawhile, he would have made himself known. There was only one alternative. Sam.

"Sam?" I ask into the semi-dark room. I hear a sniffling coming from behind the couch in front of me. I want to stand up and check on her but I have a feeling that she may just run off again, so I wait her out. It must have been a good five minutes before the sniffling stopped and I heard the sound of someone moving. I sat up straight, ready for what she may do to me, but all she did was stand up, walk across the room, sit on my lap with her legs winding around my back and gives me the biggest hug her body could provide. I am dumbstruck yet again, and a little confused. "Sam." I say after a good two minutes of non-stop hugging. She instantly stops, leans back to get full view of me.

"Yes?" She replies.

"About before. You never gave me the chance to reply to you." She instantly deflates and a glistening starts in her eyes as though she is about to cry again. I instantly stop that as I run a finger gently along her cheek as I run the tears from her face. "I wanted to let you know, I had always had an inkling of these feelings of yours. This is different from back when you were a Kirlia, those were kisses of affection, not love, but now that you have grown, I can see now, that you saw them as more than that and I am sorry." She looks about cry at this point and so I push on. "But, if you wish, we can be an item. We can make this work if you want it too. How does that sound?" She sits there a moment in my lap as she takes it in. I almost feel as though I have said something wrong but what happens next takes me by surprise. As fast as a snake, she dives in and pulls me into a deep kiss, she was pouring all of her affection into it as I felt her chest spike tingle against my chest and a warm and gentle feeling spreads throughout my body. I lay back on the couch and she comes down on top of me, continuing the kiss as long as possible until I feel as though I will pass out from lack of air, she finally stops and leans up a bit as she looks me in the eyes, I can see her old mischievous self in those eyes and that both excited and scared me.

"Wanna come to bed with me? I feel a little tired, I bet you are too." She says. I have no time to reply before she has teleported me up to my room and onto my bed. I can tell what she is after and I gave myself up to her. This day is going to be a long one and by the end, a rather messy one too.

See what comes about in Chapter 15.

Another Time lapse.... I am a horrible person to you, aren't I?

It was week ago that happened, the day that, Sam confessed her love to me. I was astounded at the time and nearly beat myself up at being so stupid as to miss the signs. Her closeness, protective nature and her attitude all had something to do with it and I missed them all thinking them as nothing more then part of her species' nature. Now that it is in the open now, I almost feel elated, I feel more carefree, as though I had been stressed out for a long time. Right now I was out walking among the town when suddenly out of nowhere a manticore charges into the middle of town. I have never seen the creature before but I knew this was a bad situation and I look down to my belt to find my pokeball not at my waist and mentally slap myself for going out alone, so with all that happen I decided on the only thing I could do at this point. Hide. I slowly back away and around the side of a building, lucky for me that is because a second later the beast had looked in my direction, upon not seeing me it takes off to who knows where. I hear the screams of the frightened and every so often, the cries of the injured. This was getting out of hand and I knew it. I had to find the others but that statement was short lived when the manticore found me. My fault for not moving earlier. My back against a wall, I had nowhere else to go except for the sides but the beast had them covered and would get me before I could move, I was stuck. I didn't want to die but I could not figure out a way to escape without being mortally wounded again and I don't think I will survive this time. Running out of options, I did the only thing I could, scream and scream I did, It wasn't exactly a girlish scream but it wasn't the most manliest either but you couldn't blame me for the situation. My screams seemed to just enrage the beast in front of me and caused it to rarin my face and then I noticed the tail, how it was poised to strike me through the throat, I was literally screwed. I closed my eyes, mentally praying to Arceus and any other deity to save me but I was only met with the angry snarls of the monster before my eyes. "Someone help me!"


On some other part of town, Sam was having a nap but was rudely awakened to the sounds of screaming and roars. She ignored it for a moment as a regular occurance in the town till she heard the first cry of pain. She jolted awake and threw on some clothes, not able to find her dress that came standard for all Gardevoir, she just made do with her masters clothes instead, once all dressed up in a pair of thick track suit pants and a t-shirt with a growlithe on the front she teleported outside to survey the damage. There was destruction everywhere. There were smashed carts, broken windows, shattered doors, scratch marks all over the walls and on the occasion, the barely conscious bodies of ponies trying to crawl to safety, these were the few things she noticed upon leaving the house and they weren't the last. Working quickly she used her psychic abilities to pick up the injured and then teleported to the hospital for them to be treated, the place was a frenzy of activity by the time she arrived with injured laying down on gurneys all over the place, she lay the injured down on the ground and then froze as she heard a very familiar scream, the scream of someone she loved, the scream of someone she loved that was in danger. As soon as the scream cut off, she teleported again this time in the direction of the scream but lost track of it half way. She spread out her mental influence in all directions so she may find him and picked him up not too far away but there was something there with him, something big. It must be the thing that caused all the damage. "I hope i'm not too late." and teleported again.


It was over for me was what I thought as the paw of the beast come down to strike me, but the blow never came and I opened my eyes to see why and by Arceus was I happy to see what I did. Sam had made it and she had saved my life, again. She had the beast in her grasp with her psychic technique and held it in place as she glared at it with murderous intent in her eyes, I never saw it though but I did notice the manticore balk at the sight but it wasn't over, it was only the beginning of the monsters punishment for the damage of the town and nearly killing her master and boyfriend. In the space of a second she lost it, with her power, she flung the beast across the street and into the side of a house, all I could do is watch on as the one person I cherished more than my life beat the living snot out of the manticore. She stepped out onto the street after it and stood across the street from it with hands alight and eyes aglow. The beast furious now jumped out of the carnage and charged her but didn't any more than a few meters before she beast away again but followed it up with a shadow ball and fire punch straight at it's face. It hit the ground hard and did not get up again. It was over as far as I can tell and she visually calmed before looking toward me with a smile gracing her lips, it was beautiful. I stepped out of the cover of the house and towards her slowly, she gracefully stepped towards me and we met in the middle of the street. We stood there for what felt like hours but was no more than seconds. I reached out towards her and took her face in the palm of my hand, I leaned in........ The sickening sound of something puncturing flesh and a gasp of pain then met my ears and I looked down in horror as my beautiful, Sams belly was torn open as the tail of the manticore protruded through as part a final show of defiance before it too fell. Sam looked at me with a look of surprise and pain, I returned that look as she then collapsed into my arms, the stinger being pulled from her body as she did so. I looked down at her in horror as the girl I had spent so much time to know suddenly slipped away from me, all in the span of a few seconds. I sat there alone clutching the body of one I loved dearly and started to cry gut wrenching sobs just as the rain began to fall and the sounds of my other pokemon appeared on the scene too late and watched on in sadness and horror at the spectacle of the dead manticore, the destroyed buildings and the unmoving body of Sam cradled in my arms as I cried into her still body.....





To be continued.
