> A Fiery Stallion > by rainbowblitz88 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue-Ungrateful Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This fanfic is about a very special Ponyta. This Ponyta (age 16) was an orphan, living in a forest with his friends. They are Ponyta as well. They all wanted to evolve at the same time. "Wake up, Ponyta!" Ponyta's friend Sam yelled. Ponyta slowly opened his eyes. "What do want Sam?" Ponyta asked sleepishly. "Drake and I are going to lake, do you want to join us?" he asked Ponyta. Ponyta got to his hooves and replied with, "Sure, if there's any berries there." "There will be enough berries there, I promise you," he says. After a few minutes of walking, the three finally make it to the lake. Drake turns toward Sam and gestures him to walk over to Drake. Sam asks, "Drake what do want?" "Come here," Drake tells him. Sam inches closer to him. Drake whispers,"We're going to leave Ponyta here." Sam is shocked what he has just heard and asked, "Why would you want him gone?" Drake replies with,"I am tired of him sleeping after we're already awake." "So how are we going to do this?" Sam asks Drake. Drake points to the Jigglypuff in the bush. Sam nods in agreement. "Ponyta, how about get some berries from that tree?" Sam suggests to Ponyta. Ponyta walks over to the tree and his friends cover their ears with their hooves. Ponyta sees the Jigglypuff and ask it, "Do you want a berry?" The puffball pokemon stared at Ponyta and start singing. Ponyta felt drowsy and fell down to sleep for a while. A few hours later... Ponyta woke up to see Sam and Drake looking down at him. But they did not look the same, they had evolved without him. "Guys you evolved without me!" Ponyta yelled at them. "That's right idiot, we decided we don't need you." Drake said to him, "Oh and we're going to drown you goodbye, Ponyta." Sam went over to Ponyta and just glared at him. He then kicked Ponyta into the lake. Ponyta tried to stay over water, but his efforts were useless. He was sure he was going to die. His mane and tail had gone out, there was no saving him. He suddenly was sucked into a strange portal. Everyone that liked him thinks he is dead. > Chapter 1-The Return > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyta was dead but only for 8 minutes. "Why hasn't your breathing slowed down?" said Ponyta's rescuer. Then Ponyta felt a claw touch his back. "Oh no, you're getting colder," said the rescuer. Ponyta started feeling warmer and he felt his mane ignite, then his tail. "Thanks for saving me," Ponyta said. "My name's Spike," said the purple dragon. "I'm Ponyta," Ponyta said, "Where am I?" "You're in Ponyville," Spike said, "What does your cutie mark mean?" Ponyta stared at Spike confused about what he meant. "What's a cutie mark?" asked Ponyta. Spike just pointed at Ponyta's flank. Ponyta looked at it, it was a single red flame. "I think it means that I am a great fire user," Ponyta said. Spike looked at Ponyta and asked, "Where are you from, Ponyta?" "I'm from Viridian Forest in the Kanto region," said Ponyta. "I've never heard of that place," Spike said. Ponyta started to feel a sharp pain in his back. "Ow, my back," Ponyta said. "I'd better get you to Fluttershy," Spike said. Three little fillies heard what Spike had said. "Cutie Mark Crusaders, we have to help this pony," said the yellow filly with a red mane. "Get him in the wagon," said the orange filly with a light purple mane. Ponyta was placed in the wagon and he actually fit in it. The orange filly was on a scooter attached to the wagon and Ponyta was going to see some pony named Fluttershy. > Chapter 2-Fluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Why are staring at me?" Ponyta asked. The unicorn filly and earth filly were staring at Ponyta. "Your mane is on fire!" the unicorn yelled. "It's not on fire, it's made of fire," Ponyta said. "What?" the unicorn was shocked what she had heard. She began to hit Ponyta on his head. "Stop it, Sweetie Belle!" the red maned yellow filly insisted. The white unicorn filly didn't listen, she kept on hitting Ponyta. "Don't make me turn this scooter around!" the orange pegasus filly yelled. The unicorn filly stopped hitting Ponyta. "Sorry about that, I'm Sweetie Belle," the white unicorn filly said. "I'm Applebloom," the yellow earth filly said. "I'm Scootaloo," the orange pegasus filly said. "We're the Cutie Mark Crusaders," Sweetie Belle said, "We think of ways to get our cutie marks." "Nice to meet you three, I'm Ponyta," Ponyta said. When the four ponies got to the cottage, Scootaloo stopped her scooter. Ponyta was launched out of wagon landing on a yellow pegasus. "Ow sorry about that miss," Ponyta apologized, "Wait are you Fluttershy?" The yellow pegasus replied, "Yes I-" she started then she saw who had fallen on her. She started to back away then Ponyta said, "Don't go, it's all right." Ponyta held out his hoof and said, "I'm Ponyta." Fluttershy looked at Ponyta shyly. "Oh, Angel what is it?" Fluttershy asked the bunny. Angel walked over to Ponyta. "What do you want?" Ponyta asked Angel. Angel lifted up his leg and started kicking Ponyta in his face. After a while, Fluttershy was angry at Angel. She gave him the stare and yelled, "Angel stop hurting Ponyta or you won't get anything for lunch!" Angel ran off to the cottage. "Sorry about that, he isn't usually that mean," Fluttershy said, "I'll go get my first aid kit." She came back seconds later with the kit. Fluttershy wrapped some medical tape around the middle of his upper body. She put a few bandages on Ponyta's face. "Thanks Fluttershy," Ponyta said. "Your welcome Ponyta," Fluttershy said. "Fluttershy, could I meet some of your pony friends?" Ponyta asked. "Sure," Fluttershy replied. "Hey Cutie Mark Crusaders, do you want to come with us?" "Nah, we're going to our homes to have lunch," Sweetie Belle said. "Ponyta you go on your own, you'll find my friends in town," Fluttershy said. Ponyta walked into town to meet some new friends. > Chapter 3-New Friends > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyta walked through the town square and noticed a pink pony talking to other ponies. The pink mare saw Ponyta and gasped before running off. "I wonder why she ran off," Ponyta said to himself. "Lookout," Ponyta heard some pony say. "Huh?" Ponyta wondered. A blue pegasus had crashed into Ponyta. Ponyta got up to see the blue pegasus was on fire. "You're on fire!" Ponyta yelled. "Put it out," the blue pegasus said. Ponyta went over to the well and got a bucket full of water. He poured the water on the blue pegasus' wing. "Thank you, I'm Rainbow Dash," the pegasus said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Ponyta," Ponyta said, "You really need to be more careful or you would've been burnt to a crisp." "Yeah, well see you around," Rainbow Dash said flying off. Ponyta walked around until he found a boutique. He walked in and said, "Hello, is any pony here?" A white unicorn walked over and said, "Yes, what can I do for you?" "Do you know Fluttershy?" Ponyta asked. "You must be Ponyta, I'm Rarity," the white unicorn said, "Sweetie Belle has told me a lot about you." "Is she your sister?" Ponyta asked. "Yes," Rarity said, "you should meet Applejack and Twilight." Ponyta and Rarity walked through town until they found a food cart with a orange earth pony with a hat. "Hey Rarity," the cow pony said. "Hey Applebloom," Ponyta said. "Hey Ponyta," Applebloom said. "I'm Applejack," the cow pony said, "So what do you two want?" At that moment, Ponyta felt hungry. "Oh, right I didn't have breakfast," said Ponyta. "Here have some apples," Applejack said, "Rarity, you want anything?" "No thanks, I already ate," Rarity said. On the way to the library, Ponyta had a few apples. "Why hadn't you eaten breakfast?" Rarity asked. "Well I was drowned by my friends," Ponyta said. "Why would your friends do that?" Rarity asked. "They said that I was useless," Ponyta said. They finally got to the library and Rarity said to Ponyta, "I'm going back to the boutique, here's the address for your house," Rarity said giving Ponyta a piece of paper. He knocked on the door and the door was opened by Spike. "Hey Spike, is Twilight here?" Ponyta asked. "Yes she's here," Spike said. Ponyta walked inside the tree and Spike said, "Twilight, some pony is here to see you." Twilight walked over to Ponyta and asked, "Who are you?" "I'm Ponyta, Twilight," Ponyta said. "Nice to meet you, Ponyta," Twilight said. Ponyta looked behind Twilight and saw a calendar. "Hey Twilight, can I have a look at that calendar?" Ponyta asked. "Sure, Ponyta," Twilight said. She moved it with her magic to Ponyta. It was June 20 and Ponyta remember something. "Hey Twilight, it's my birthday tomorrow," Ponyta said. "Oh, how old will you be?" Twilight said. Ponyta said to Twilight, "I'll be 17, Twilight." "Ok, then I'll tell Pinkie Pie at the party," said Twilight. "I'd better go check out my new house," Ponyta said. Ponyta left the library and walked to his new house. Ponyta got to his house after a while. He opened the door to find that the lights were off. > Chapter 4-The Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyta closed the door and the lights were turned on. "Surprise!" said the pink earth pony. Ponyta was very surprised to see his new friends were in his house. "What are you doing in my house?" Ponyta asked. "It's a surprise party, duh," the pink pony said. "You must be Pinkie Pie," Ponyta said. "Yes, I am," Pinkie Pie said, "Let's party!" The party went on for a few hours and when it was 9 PM all of Ponyta's friends left. Ponyta looked for his room and saw four bedrooms. He noticed a bed that wasn't flammable and he went to sleep. Ponyta dreamed about what happened that morning. When he woke up, there was a knock at the door. He stayed on his bed for a few minutes. Ponyta decided to get up and answer the door. He got to the door and opened it. At the door was Fluttershy and she said, "Ponta, you didn't get enough sleep last night." "Yeah, I had a dream about what happened yesterday morning," Ponyta said. "Ponyta let's get going," Fluttershy said. Ponyta and Fluttershy went out for breakfast. They sat at a table outside the restaurant. The waiter walked over to them and said, "Welcome, here are your menus." Ponyta looked at the menu for anything good and said, "Hmm, an omelet sounds good." "I'll have an omelet too," Fluttershy said. The waiter took the menus and said, "I'll have that out in a few minutes." "Ah, I'm happy I'm 17 now," Ponyta said. The waiter came back with the omelets and said, "Enjoy your meal." Ponyta took a bite out of the omelet and said, "Mmm, this is good." "Yes, it is," Fluttershy said, "I've never been here before. Twilight told me to do this, so you would be out of your house." They finished their omelets and Fluttershy payed the waiter for the meal. Nothing much happened during the day. At 6 pm Ponyta heard a knock at the door. It was Fluttershy again and she said, "Ponyta it's time for your party." Ponyta followed her to Sugarcube Corner for his party. "Happy Birthday, Ponyta," Pinkie Pie said. "Wow, that cake looks delicious," Ponyta said. They all had birthday cake then it was time for presents. "Ponyta, here is my present to you," Fluttershy said. Ponyta opened it, inside was a hawk. "Wow, I'll call you Hawks," Ponyta said. "Here Ponyta," Rainbow Dash said. Ponyta opened it to find a bag of bits. "Wow, money," Ponyta said. "Hey Ponyta, this is for you," Spike said. Ponyta opened the present and it was a dragon scale on a necklace. "Is this yours?" Ponyta asked. "Yes and it will bring you good luck," Spike said. "Ponyta this is from me," Rarity said. The present was saddle bags with his cutie mark on them. "What are these?" Ponyta asked. "They're saddle bags, they can carry your stuff in them," Rarity said. "Here something for you partner," Applejack said. Her present to Ponyta was apple seeds. "Apple seeds, I can grow my own apples now," Ponyta said. "Here Ponyta, best for last," Twilight said. The present was a book called: "Evolution and Metamorphosis". "Wow thanks this will help a lot," Ponyta said. After a while the party ended and Ponyta went to sleep. > Chapter 5-Articuno's Ambush > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyta woke up, fed Hawks, put on his saddlebags, grabbed his bits and left to go have breakfast. After breakfast, something terrible happened. Ponyta was walking with his friends, when some cold wind froze his hoof. "What the hell?" Ponyta asked trying to break free. He looked up to see that it was Articuno, the ice bird. "Articuno, what are you doing here!" Ponyta yelled at Articuno. "I've come to kill you, Ponyta," Articuno said. Ponyta and Articuno stared into eachothers eyes, then Articuno shot an ice beam at Ponyta. Ponyta used flamethrower and blocked the ice. He eventually knocked back Articuno, but he wasn't beaten yet. "You'll pay for killing my parents, you bastard!" Ponyta yelled. "Time to die, Ponyta," Articuno said. Articuno used ice shard and shot it at Ponyta's hoof. Ponyta was stuck, unable to move. Suddenly out of nowhere a figure appeared. "Did you miss me, Ponyta?" said the figure. "Who are you?!" Articuno asked angrily. "Me? I'm Dragonite, Ponyta's former guardian," the figure said. "Dragonite," Ponyta said with relief. > Chapter 6-Dragonite vs Articuno > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Shut the hell up! I DON'T CARE WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE!" Articuno yelled. "Let's fight, Articuno," Dragonite said. The air battle started, meanwhile Ponyta tried to get free. "You can't win," Articuno said. Articuno froze Ponyta's body completely. After a while of fighting, Articuno had beaten Dragonite. "I'm sorry, Ponyta," Dragonite said, "I tried. Articuno grabbed Dragonite with his talons and said, "I told you, you can't win. Time to die, Ponyta's friends!" Dragonite used flamethrower on frozen Ponyta, before falling unconscious. Ponyta thawed out and saw what had happened. Articuno threw aside Dragonite and said, "You're still alive. How can that be?" > Chapter 7-Ponyta vs Articuno > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Articuno, I gonna kill you for that!" Ponyta yelled. The fight on for a while, it was an even fight. Dragonite got up and flew over to Ponyta. "Need some help?" Dragonite asked. "Sure," Ponyta said. They continued to battle Articuno, until a portal opened. "Articuno, you and I are going back to Ice island," Dragonite said. Dragonite flew towards Articuno and pushed him through the portal, along with himself. And the battle was won, in Ponyville. > Epilogue-Rapidash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyta had won, he really beat Articuno. Ponyta had an orange glow on him. He was evolving, his mane and tail grew and he grew a horn. Then he stood there in his new form and said, "I am Rapidash." "Rapidash, you have a horn," Twilight said, "Try using magic." "Ok, I'll try," Rapidash said. Rapidash tried to use magic, until he picked up Twilight. He put her down and Rarity asked, "Why didn't go with Dragonite, to your world?" "Because Ponyville is my home now," Rapidash said. Rapidash stayed in Ponyville for a long time and learned a lot of magic. But his story isn't over yet. Meanwhile on Ice island... Dragonite had beaten Articuno, the legendary birds were now calm. "The balance has once again been restored. I will go to Mt. Silver to rest," Lugia said. Lugia had gone to Johto to rest, hopefully Ho-Oh won't cause trouble. > Extra Chapter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Articuno knocked on his boss's door. "Come in," the boss said. Articuno opened the door and went in the room. Inside was a dark room with a shadowy figure looking at three big computers. "What is this?" Articuno asked. On the three screens was three angles of Rapidash. "Do you remember the three Zoroark we sent to Equestria, a few days ago?" the boss said. "Yeah," Articuno said. "Well, they are disguised as ponies," the boss said, "Applejack, Rarity,Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy." "Why those ponies?" Articuno asked. "Applejack gave Rapidash dangerous apple seeds," the boss said, "Rarity gave Rapidash a house for the plan to work. She also gave him saddlebags with a tracking device in it." "What about Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie?" Articuno said. "She gave Rapidash a robot hawk and Pinkie Pie was impersonated to make sure no pony else showed up to the party," the boss said. "Anyway, I have a plan," Articuno said, "We could get Ho-Oh to invade Equestria." "Alright, go tell him your plan," the boss said. Articuno left the room and went to Mt. Silver.
