“Just another boring day on the job.” Rainbow Dash said as she lounged on a cloud. “I wish something exciting would happen to liven up this town.” she said. Not long after she heard an explosion behind her. “What the heck was that!?” she said. She turned around and was about to start complaining when she saw something falling from the sky going fast enough to form a Sonic Rainboom and heading straight for her. “Oh man this is gonna hurt.” She said right before the object impacted with her.
~~~~
”How do I keep getting into these situations?” Teranos asked to no one while he was falling from the. sky. He sighed before curling into a ball to avoid injuring himself upon impact with the ground. A few minutes later he could see the ground and braced himself for impact. “Oh I’m going to be sore in the morning for sure.” He said. But before he could hit the ground he impacted with a cloud which was weird since clouds are usually soft. “What the!” He heard a feminine voice yell as he hit the cloud. When he came out of the other side of the cloud there was a winged blue equine attached to him. “Oh crap an innocent.” He said as he wrapped his arms around the creature and turned them around so his back was facing the ground. “This is gonna hurt terribly in the morning.” He said right before they hit the ground and they lay there in a huge crater.
~~~
Rainbow Dash awoke not long after the crash to intense pain she tried to move but that only made the pain worse. “Well if I’m in this much pain I can’t be dead so that’s good.” She said. She tried to stretch her wings but she was hit by the pain again. “Oh no it’s my wing if it’s broken then I’m useless.” She cried. “Shut up and hold still.” a male voice said but before she could see who it was something grabbed her broken wing and pulled on it.
She cried out in pain as the person moved her broken wing around. “Doesn’t seem to be terribly bad it was a clean break so it should set easily enough.” he said then she heard fabric tearing as he set her wing in a splint and tied it up. “You’ll feel searing pain for about ten seconds then you’ll pass out.” he said. “Wait what?” she started to say but was cut off by the pain he mentioned. For ten seconds she endured the worst pain she had ever felt even more than her wing breaking then when it was over like he said she had passed out.”
~~~~
Teranos sighed as he sat down exhausted from healing the strange creature. She had light blue fur with a rainbow colored mane and tail but the strangest part was that she had wings. “She doesn’t seem to be any kind of pokemon so that can only mean that she’s a Pegasus but I thought they were only a myth.” He wondered., After about ten minutes the Pegasus began to stir. “W-what happened?” She muttered. “Well to sum it up I fell out of the sky and crashed into you going at about mach three speeds, broke your wing upon impact, and then healed your wing. You’ve been out for about ten minutes now any questions?” I explained. She just stared at me in shock for a few moments and then she asked. “Who are you?” I stood up and brushed myself off then bowed with a flourish “Teranos Elementum at your service.” I said.
~~~
Rainbow Dash just stared dumb founded at the dude. She had never seen anything like him before. First he claims to fall from the sky at mach three and then after landing on her and breaking her wing he claims her healed it thought it did seem that her wing was healed and feeling better than ever. “Okay so just what are you then Teranos?” She asked still suspicious of him. “Well the easiest answer would be that I’m a human why?” he responded. “Well I thought humans were just and old pony’s tale.” she said dismissing the strangeness of his answer. “Well do I look like an old pony’s tale to you?” He asked. “No I guess you don’t.” she replied.
~~~
After a few minutes of studying each other Teranos finally spoke. “So where am I exactly?” he asked. “You’re in Equstria on the outskirts of Ponyville.” she answered. “Equestria and Ponyville yeah that doesn’t sound like anywhere in my world.” he said mostly to himself. “And where exactly is your world?”she asked him. “Well I have no real answer to that except that it’s not here.” He said sounding worried. “Well you can stay in Ponyville until you find your way back and if you can walk on clouds you can stay at my place if you want.” she said only offering because she doubted he could walk on clouds like a Pegasus. “That’s very kind of you Miss?” he trailed off. “Sorry I forgot to introduce myself I’m Rainbow Dash.” she said nodding her head. “That’s very kind of you Rainbow Dash I’ll accept your offer to stay in your home, and before you ask no I can’t walk on clouds but staying on them shouldn’t be a problem for me. I can’t really explain how I do it but I can travel on clouds.” he said. She just stared at him in disbelief. “Oh really prove it then.” she said. Teranos just shrugged and jumped up into the air and took off for the nearest cloud despite his lack of wings.
~~~
”I don’t know why she seems so skeptical but if I must prove myself then I shall.” he said as he landed on a cloud standing on it staring down at her. “I guess he can walk on clouds imagine that.” Rainbow Dash said in amazement as he flew back down and landed next to her. “Well I guess there won’t be any problems with you staying with me then “ she said. “I don’t want to end up getting in your way are you sure it’s alright for em to stay with you?” he asked. “It’ll be fine,” she said. “Follow me I’ll show you where I live.” she said as she flew off seeming to challenge him to keep up. Teranos just shrugged as he took off after her wondering what this new world would hold in store for him.
“It’s impressive to say the least.” Teranos said as he stared up at the floating home of Rainbow Dash. “Thanks I don’t get many visitors since I only have one Pegasus friend so sorry about the mess.” she said trying not to look at him as she blushed lightly from his compliment. “It’s small compared to some of the buildings in Cloudsdale.” she said. “I’m guessing that’s where you’re from then?” he asked. “Yeah.” she said sounding slightly sad when she responded. Teranos noticed and decided not to ask anymore about where she was from.
~~~
After about five minutes of brooding Rainbow Dash finally snapped out of her funk. “Anyway let me show you around my house.” she said as she took off toward the house.Teranos just nodded and flew up after her. It took Rainbow Dash roughly thirty minutes to show him around and for them to decide that he would sleep in a hollow on the first floor. “So what do you want to do now Teranos?” asked Rainbow Dash. “I think I’ll take a look around the surrounding areas then head into town to meet everyone.” he said. “Alright I’ll meet you in town later then.” She said. He nodded and then took off to the south.
~~
He flew for about ten minutes before he caught sight of a large apple orchard. “Looks interesting.” he said as he landed and began walking to the orchard. He stopped at the entrance and looked up at the large arch hanging over the path. “Sweet Apple Acres eh?” he said and strolled further along the path until he caught sight of an orange colored pony with blond hair and a cowgirl hat. “Hello there!.” he shouted before approaching her. The pony turned around looked and me and waited until he stood next to her before she responded. “Howdy I haven’t seen ya around here before, the name’s Apple Jack.” she said smiling. “A pleasure to meet you Miss Apple Jack my name is Teranos Elementum.” he said with a small bow. “It’s nice ta meet ya Teranos but please just call me Apple Jack or AJ.” she said. “Alright then Apple Jack. I must say you not reacting anything like Rainbow Dash did when she met me. She was suspicious and skeptical when I told her I was a human.” he said. “Well she’s just naturally suspicious like that, and while I think it’s surprising that you’re human I don’t think that it’s impossible. Just because nopony has seen a human doesn’t mean there aren’t any out there.” she said.
~~~
Teranos just stared in surprise at her answer for a moment then replied. “An interesting answer to say the least. I am human but I’m not from anywhere around here in fact I don’t think this is even the same world I’m from.” he said. “What do ya mean?” she asked. “Well I think somehow I arrived in this world from another dimension but as to how I’m not sure.” he said. “Sounds like something Twilight might know about she lives in the in town it’s a giant tree with a sign that has a book on it hanging out front so you can’t miss it.” she said once again smiling. “Thank you maybe she’ll be able to help me figure some things out I’ll be sure to find her once I head into town.” he said. “No problem Teranos is there anything else I can help you out with?” she asked. “Well what would it cost to get an apple? It’s been awhile since I last ate and I love apples.” he said. “Awe shoot go ahead and pick ya one no cost it’s the least I could do for a new friend.” she said “I’m touched that you would be so kind to someone you only just met Apple Jack it’s rare to see such kindness where I’m from.” he said “Awe shucks it’s nothing.” she said slightly blushing. After he picked an apple Teranos bid farewell to Apple Jack and headed off toward town.
~~~
Rainbow Dash flew off toward Ponyville not long after Teranos left to go explore. “Hopefully he’ll find Sweet Apple Acres and Apple Jack will keep him busy for awhile.” she said as she entered Ponyville and began searching for her friend Pinkie Pie. After about five minutes of flying around she spotted the party pony coming out of Sugarcube Corner probably getting off from work. She quickly flew down and landed next to Pinkie. “I’ve been looking for you Pinkie Pie.” she said. “Oh how come?” she asked tilting her head. “Ponyville has a new resident and I was wondering of you would help me throw a party to welcome him here.” she replied. “Sounds like fun!” Pinkie Pie said jumping up and down excitedly. “Awesome then lets get to it.” Rainbow Dash said and they walking off planning a surprise party.
~~~
”That must be Ponyville.” Teranos said as he spotted a small town in the distance. Rather than fly the rest of the way there Teranos decided to walk instead so he would have time to think. “So I have no idea how I got here, I seem to be in another dimension, and I have a splitting headache but that could just be from my landing. Palkia is the only one I know of that can open a portal between the dimensions but why would he send me here and let me keep my team with me?” he said as he absent mindedly ran a hand over the six red and white spheres hanging on his belt. “I’ll just have to figure out why he sent me here then decided if I even want to go back.” he said. Teranos silenced himself as he approached the entrance to the town. “Guess I’ll search for Twilight and then see if I can’t find Rainbow Dash.” he said as he walked into town ignoring the strange looks from some of the pony residents.
~~~
After about five minutes of wandering Teranos spotted the tree that Apple Jack described. “That must be it.” he said as he sprinted up to the entrance. Before he reached the door he saw a pink pony standing next to the tree make some strange twitching movements and duck behind a cart. “How strange.” he said as he reached to knock on the door but before he could the door flew open and flattened him against the trunk of the tree. “Right out of left field.” he said weakly but still loud enough to be heard. “Huh who’s there?” a male voice said from the other side of the door. As the door shut Teranos saw a small purple and green dragon standing there holding some books. “Who are you?” the dragon asked. After Teranos pried himself from the tree and brushed his clothes off he replied, “I am Teranos Elementum.” he said. “Nice to meet you Teranos the name’s Spike anything I can help you with?’ the dragon asked. “Well I’m looking for Twilight do you know where she is?” he asked. “Last time I saw her she was with Rainbow Dash.” Spike said. “Alright well thanks for your help Spike I’ll just go ahead and look for Rainbow Dash then.” he said. “Anytime see ya later Teranos.” the dragon said as he ran off.
~~~
Teranos began wandering around the town again looking for Rainbow Dash. Around two hours later the sun had begun to set so Teranos started to head back to Rainbow Dash’s house when he finally spotted her running up to him. “I’ve finally found you Teranos I’ve been looking for you!.” she said slightly out of breath. “I’ve just been wandering around town searching for you Rainbow.” he said. “Well follow me I have a surprise for you.” she said running off again back in the direction that she came from. Teranos just raised an eyebrow and followed after her. Rainbow Dash had led him out of town as the sun set and the moon began to rise. “How much farther Rainbow Dash?” he asked. “Not much farther now.” she said. They kept running for ten more minutes then Rainbow Dash stopped in the middle of a field the cloud cover kept it dark enough that Teranos could barely see her. “We’re here.” she said as the torches lit the area.
~~~
”Surprise!” he heard six feminine voices shout all at once. Teranos was still blinded from the sudden light and was rubbing his eyes while they adjusted. Teranos shook his head and blinked his eyes and saw six ponies standing under a banner that read, “Welcome to Equestria.” ”What’s going on here?” he asked in confusion and mild shock. “I figured you must feel alone being in a new world and all so I got my friends to help me to throw you a welcome party.” Rainbow Dash said.
~~~
Teranos just blinked slowly at her statement. Rainbow Dash noticed his reaction and frowned but before she could say anything Teranos began to chuckle. “What’s so funny?” she asked a hint of anger in her voice. “Nothing it’s just thank you all of you. It’s very kind of you to do this to help me feel welcome.” he said trying to stop tears from forming in his eyes. Before anyone could say anything Teranos pulled himself together and walked over to the other five ponies. “Allow me to introduce myself my name is Teranos Elementum and thank you for welcoming me to Equestria.” he said with a bow. A purple pony that seemed to be a Unicorn was the first to say something . “Hello Teranos my name is Twilight Sparkle.” she said. She had light purple fur and a darker purple mane and tail with a stripe of bright pink through them. The next pony to say something was the same pink pony he had seen earlier. She was pure pink with a mane and tail that was a slightly darker pink color. “Hi I’m Pinkie Pie it’s nice to meet you.” she said grinning. The next to speak up was another Unicorn with a pure white coat and a deep purple mane and tail. “My name is Rarity a pleasure to meet you Teranos.” she said. Apple Jack spoke up next. “Hey there again Teranos.” she said and he nodded to her. The last to speak up was a cream colored Pegasus with a bright pink mane and tail. “H-hello there my name’s Fluttershy it’s nice to meet you Teranos.” she said rather shyly. Before Teranos could say anything to them Pinkie Pie spoke up. “Well what are we waiting for let’s get this party started!” she said and she trotted over to a record player and turned it on.
~~~
It had been a half hour since the party began and it didn’t show any sign of stopping the way Pinkie Pie was going. Teranos was standing by the snack table munching on a cookie when Twilight Sparkle trotted over to him. “Hello there Twilight.” he said. “Hi Teranos enjoying the party?” she asked. “It’s quite an experience for sure Pinkie Pie seems to be quite a party animal.” he said “Well parties are her specialty and nopony throws a party like Pinkie Pie.” she said. “It’s an amazing party.” Teranos agreed. Twilight was about to say something else but then she noticed the six red and white spheres hanging at Teranos’s belt. “Could I ask you something Teranos?” she asked. “Sure go ahead.” he responded. “What are those red and white spheres on your belt?” she asked. A look of surprise flashed on his face. “I can’t believe I forgot. They must be hungry by now.” he said. “They?” asked Twilight. Teranos looked down at her in surprise as if he’d forgotten she was there. “Oh yeah I still need to introduce you to them one sec.” he said and ran off to a cleared area.
~~~
Teranos whistled loudly to get everyone’s attention. “Sorry to interrupt the party ladies but the introductions aren’t over yet.” he said. Everyone one just gave him a confused look but he just smiled. “I might not know how I got to Equestria but I know I wasn’t alone when I got here. Whoever sent me here also sent my friends with me.” he said as he pulled one of the spheres from his belt. He pressed a button that was in the center of the sphere and it grew to three times its size and he held it up for everyone to see. “This is a pokeball it’s basically a pocket dimension and within it is one of my friends so let me introduce you to him.” Before they could say anything he tossed the ball into the clearing where it split in half with a burst of light. The ponies flinched back and covered their eyes from the sudden burst of light and when they looked back at the spot a large blue creature with 4 tree trunk like legs and a silver x across it’s face was standing there.
~~~
”Everyone this is Fezzik he’s a Metagross. Fezzik say hello to everyone.” Teranos said. The ponies just stared at Fezzik. Fezzik just moved and tried to hide behind Teranos. Rainbow Dash started to move towards him but Fezzik saw her and ran off to hide in the nearby trees. “Am I that scary?” Rainbow Dash asked slightly hurt. “No Fezzik is just extremely shy and scares easy.” he said. Teranos pulled another ball from his belt and pressed the button on it. “He’ll be back soon.” he said as he tossed the next ball into he area Fezzik had disappeared into. Another light flashed as the ball split open but the girls couldn’t see what came out of it this time since it was so dark. “And now we wait. Shouldn’t take her long at all.” Teranos said.
~~
Five minutes later Fezzik came back to the party area accompanied by a canine looking creature. It was about four feet tall with blue and tan fur with some stripes of black separating them. “Everyone this is Serenity she’s a Lucario.” Teranos said motioning to the newcomer. “A pleasure to meet you all.”Serenity said with a small curtsy and she then tapped Fezzik’s side. The Metagross reluctantly spoke. “H-hi I’m Fezzik it’s nice to meet you.” he said. “It’ll be alright Fezzik.” Teranos said soothingly as he tossed another ball into the air. Once the resulting flash subsided another canine like creature stood in the clearing but with snow white fur, paws and a face darker than the night, a large curved horn, and a blade like. “Hello there my name is Miranda.” she said bowing her head. “Miranda here is an Absol”Teranos said. “Three down three to go,” he said as he tossed a fourth pokeball into the air.. After the ball opened and the light receded a very large tarantula was left in the clearing but it was electric yellow with brown stripes. “This here is Naomi a Galvantula.” Teranos said as Naomi scuttled over to him and crawled up onto him and settled onto his back. “She doesn’t talk at all as far as we can tell but she’s real friendly and wont hurt you on purpose unless you give her reason too.” he said. Teranos noticed everyone’s apprehensive looks at his friends and began to worry but he tossed the next pokeball up into the air.
~~~
Once the light cleared the girls saw the breed dragon floating in the clearing. It was a bright green with blue stripes, orange outlining its wings, and large orange lenses over it’s eyes. “Hi the names Vash nice to meet you.” he said rather huffily. “Play nice Vash and don’t cause trouble for our new friends.”Teranos said. Vash just nodded only half listening. Teranos turned to the girls and smiled. “Before I bring out my last friend I have a word of caution. Please don’t be afraid of him he’s very big and slightly intimidating yes but he’s also very kind and gentle.” Teranos said and turned once again toward the clearing. “Ok big guy it’s showtime.” Teranos whispered to the ball and then tossed it high up into the air. The girls watched the ball fly high up into the air and split apart in the usual burst of light, but even after the light receded they couldn’t see any new figure anywhere. “Hey Teranos was that one empty?”Rainbow Dash asked. “Just watch.” was all Teranos said grinning. Not long after a bolt of lightning sparked across the night sky illuminating a large figure floating above the party area. It’s was long and slender with six large finger like tendrils extending from it’s back tipped with blue spikes. It had orangish skin with alternating blue and black bands going across its underside, and a grey face plate with piercing blue eyes staring down at the ponies. “Ladies meet Noctus my Giratina friend.” Teranos said.
~~~
”What are they all?” asked Twilight who was still staring at Noctus who had landed behind Teranos and curled up like a cat with his head resting on his tail. “They’re pokemon. Pokemon are the main population where I’m from and for the most part pokemon and humans live side by side helping each other thrive and enjoy life.” Teranos said trying to simplify it all. Twilight seemed to ponder this a moment before walking over to the group of pokemon. “Hello there my name is Twilight Sparkle it’s nice to meet you all.” she said smiling. One after another each of the ponies came up and introduced themselves, though Fluttershy still seemed frightened by Noctus and Fezzik. After the introductions the party resumed and everyone seemed to be having fun. Teranos stood off to the side so he could keep an eye on Vash just in case he decided to cause trouble so he didn’t notice when Rainbow Dash walked up behind him. “You alright Teranos?” she asked. Teranos jumped a few feet into the air in shock and would have turned around swinging if he didn’t recognize the voice. “I’m alright Rainbow I’m just watching Vash he’s a troublemaker sometimes and he can get carried away.” he said. “Sounds kinda like Pinkie Pie.” she said. Teranos just shrugged. Around twenty minutes later everyone was getting tired and saying their goodbyes before heading to their homes. Teranos recalled his team, thankful that the pokeballs had even worked, and headed back home with Rainbow Dash. “So what did you think of your first day in Equestria?” she asked. “It was eventful and I think I’m going to like it here.” he said. Rainbow Dash smiled and nodded then said goodnight and headed off to bed. Teranos went to his alcove and got comfortable and headed off to sleep himself but at the other side of Equestria a chaotic storm was brewing…
"Remind me what you're doing please Dash." Teranos asked Rainbow Dash as the cyan pegasus landed next to him. "Just some speed and control practice to kill some time." Rainbow answered taking a brief respite from her workout. "Speed and control eh? If you're willing I know someone who might be willing to help you out with that." Teranos said a devilish grin adorning his face. Dash eyed him warily before answering, "Sure who are they?" She asked. Teranos leaped back and tossed two of his pokeballs into the air. Rainbow Dash backed up a few feet as Noctus and Vash appeared in a flash of light. "You remember Noctus and Vash from the party last night right Rainbow? Well Vash is a speed demon and Noctus well lets just say he'll definitely be able to help with your flight control. That is if they're willing to help." Teranos said staring at the two pokemon inquisitively. Vash and Noctus stared at each other then looked over at Dash and answered in unison, "Sure thing it'll be fun." They answered. Dash smiled looking slightly intimidated by the two large dragons. "Teranos says you're a speed demon Vash so how about a race to start?" She asked. "A race sounds fun but I have a better idea. How about a game of tag you catch me and you win simple." Vash responded. Dash looked skeptical but soon recovered, "Sure if you think you can out pace me that is." Dash said now grinning with excitement. Vash laughed in response and flapped his wings, "Challenge accepted catch me if you can!" He exclaimed as he suddenly took flight and soared off the sheer force of his take off knocking Dash back slightly. Stunned Dash stared at his quickly disappearing form, then recovered her senses and tokk flight zooming after him. Noctus stared at them intriged by the small pegasus' gumption. After they were both were out of sight Teranos spoke, "Get her Noctus." He said grinning. Noctus laughed, "This is going to be fun." He said as he slowly faded into thin air and Teranos Dashed off in the direction of the two racers.
"Oh come now that can't be your max speed can it?" Vash taunted. He laughed at the speeding pegasus while flying backwards seeming to not take the game seriously while still maintaining a few mile lead on Dash. Dash grunted in frustration tucking her legs close to her body in an attempt to reduce wind resistance. Vash began to laugh at her when he suddenly turned around and zoomed off. Dash stared in confusion for a moment when she was almost knocked out of the air by a giant blue fireball. "What the hay was that?" She exclaimed, looking around for the source of the assault. She then spotted Noctus flying beneath her readying another attack. "Just what in the name of Celestia do you think you're doing?" She shouted at the large dragon. Noctus launched another fireball and watched as she dodged before answering, "Adding another element to this game. Dodging my attacks will help with your control but if you get hit you lose plain and simple." He said as he launched another volley. "That's crazy!" Dash shouted as she narrowly dodged his barrage. After a few minutes of weaving around the flames Vash slowly came back into her sights. "I have you now!" She shouted as she redoubled her effort to catch up with him. As she focused on speeding up she didn't notice the next attack until it knocked her out of the sky. Dash landed with a heavy thud as Teranos quickly ran up beside her treating her wounds, "What were you thinking Noctus she could have been seriously injured." Teranos said sounding agitated with the Giratina. "You know my Phantom blast wouldn't have hurt her Teranos." He responded. "Yes but the fall could have hurt her worse than it did especially at those speeds." Teranos said turning to face the giant dragon. "Now apologize." Teranos said a warning tone in his voice. Noctus nodded and lowered his head down in front of Dash, "I'm sorry for knocking you out of the sky like that Miss Dash." he said. "It's fine just give a mare some warning next time." Dash retorted trying to put on a brave face to hide her fear. "I think it's time for lunch." Teranos said trying to brighten the mood. Everyone nodded and turned around heading back to the clearing.
Twilight was excited after the party last night she had spike send a letter to the princess to alert her of Teranos' arrival, and this morning she had sent a response saying her and Luna both wished to meet him today She had heard from Pinkie Pie that he was staying with Rainbow Dash so she rushed to her cloud home in hopes of finding them both there, but before she could make it she spotted a dragon flying by that looked like one of the dragons Teranos introduced them to last night and followed it. After a few minutes of trying to chase it down she spotted Teranos and Rainbow Dash having lunch in the middle of a clearing. "Teranos Rainbow Dash!" she shouted trying to get their attention. "What's up Twilight what's gotten you so excited?" Rainbow asked. "I've received a letter from the princesses saying they with to meet Teranos." Twilight answered acting slightly giddy. "Royalty eh? Are we leaving right away?" Teranos asked taking a drink from what appeared to be a flask. "Well I was going to gather the rest of the girls and we'll all meat up at the library." Twilight said calming down slightly." "The large oak tree with the book sign on it right?" Teranos asked. Twilight nodded slightly winded from running so long and explaining the situation. "Alright then you girls go on ahead I'll meet you there I need to prepare myself." Teranos said as he stood. Rainbow Dash and Twilight nodded before they took of in the direction of Ponyville and Teranos headed into the woods.
