> Ponymon: Latios And The Rainbow Racer > by The Equestrian Quilava > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Mega Stone > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that their is a Latios loose in Cloudsdale Spitfire leader of the Wonderbolts asks Rainbow Dash for help. I tell Spitfire that they need my help because I know how to stop a pokemon. I can't fly but Twilight knows a spell that can make ponies walk on clouds. We go to Twilight's library to find the spell, but a white unicorn and small purple dragon seem to be waiting for us to arrive. "Twilight you're okay!!!" The dragon cheers "Spike I told you I would be alright." Twilight tells the dragon "Me and Rarity were finding gems when Rarity found this odd stone. It looks like more of an artifact than a stone though." Spike explained to Twilight " It's a beautiful stone, but it seems to have some sort of odd power." The unicorn states while taking out the stone out of her saddle bag. The stone was a perfect sphere looking like it had some DNA like strand in the center. " Is that a mega stone?" I ask "A mega stone? Is that some kind of pokemon artifact?" Twilight asks me "Yes there are very few pokemon who could use it. Bring it inside and i'll explain more." I tell everypony "Can this be used to stop Latios?" Spitfire asks me about the stone "No if anything it will make Latios stronger, or it will make something powerful enough to beat him." I answer "Can you use it?" Twilight asks "The mega stone won't work without a key stone." I explain "So is every rock magical where you come from?" Rainbow Dash asks "No but no one knows where they come from." I explain further "Enough about the stone what do you know about Latios." Spitfire tells us trying to complete the task at hand "Well I have a question for you. Has Latios attacked anybody?" I ask Spitfire "He has attacked several times." Spitfire tells me "That's not right. Latios is a very loving pokemon, but is very protective of his sister Latias." I tell Spitfire "Latias...does she look like Latos but is red instead of blue." Spitfire asks "How did you know that?" I say stunned "There was a Latias with Latios for a while, but when we were making a scheduled storm she disappeared." Spitfire explains "Oh no...This is bad...Get me to Cloudsdale now!!!" I say starting to panic "What's wrong?" Twilight asks "Latios is extremely powerful and greatly cares for his sister. Now that she is missing he is very furios." I tell her "Would the elements of harmony be able to stop him?" Spitfire asks "They did not work on Quilava I doubt they will work on latios." Twilight tells her "Guys I don't mean to interrupt, but the mega stone is glowing." Spike interrupts "That's odd only three things make it glow. If the pokemon the stone mega evolves is near it, a key stone is near it, or it's been activated by a key stone." I explained I take the stone on walk around the tree trying to find what is making it glow, but when I pass Rainbow Dash her cutie mark starts glowing. "Rainbow... your cutie mark...it's glowing." Twilight says intrigued "What does it mean!!! Am I going to explode!!!" Rainbow Dash yells out "Not likely it means one of two things. You're a living keystone or...you can mega evolve." I say dumbfounded at a loss for words "That's...that's...AWESOME!!! But i'm not a pokemon." Rainbow Dash yells full of excitement Before I say anything she grabs the stone and flies off towards Cloudsdale, and Spitfire races after Rainbow Dash. Twilight rushes in to the library and brings out a book. She then blasted me with a beam of energy. "What was that for?" I ask her "That spell should make you be able to walk on clouds for three days." She explains to me "Good and I know just how to get to Cloudsdale." I tell her "A balloon." she asks "No a convenient unexplainable transition." I explain "That makes no sense." She tells me > Cloudsdale The City In The Clouds > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next thing I know i'm in Cloudsdale. The random transition worked. The town was empty, the houses were boarded up. I slowly walk thru the town trying to find Rainbow Dash. I see a pegasus and I decided to ask him for directions. "Have you seen a pegasus named Rainbow Dash?" I ask the pegasus He doesn't say anything just stares at me. "Where is everybody?" I ask him Still no answer. "Quilava!" a voice says behind me It was Rainbow Dash she still had the mega stone. "How did you get here so fast?" She asks " It's hard to explain." I tell her "Who is that?" She asks pointing to the pegasus next to me " I don't know he doesn't talk." I tell her " I have never seen you before. I'm Rainbow Dash the fastest in all Equestria, and you are?" She asks him The pegasus suddenly turns invisible and disappears. "Where did he go?" Rainbow dash says amazed "That explains why he can't talk." I say "That does not explain how a pegasus can turn invisible like that." Rainbow Dash tells me thinking i'm going crazy "That wasn't a pegasus...That was Latios." I tell her "Latios...That looked nothing like what Spitfire described to me." Rainbow Dash tells me "Latios can change the way light reflects off his body to look like someone elce or turn invisible, but he can not mimic the voice of who he turned into so he has to stay quiet." I explain to Rainbow Dash "So is he's a changeling?" she asks "A what? What is a changeling?" I ask "They're bug like creatures who can change how they look and they feed off of love. They are also evil." she explains "They only thing that seems remotely close to that is a ditto." I tell her "Well how are we supposed to find him if he can turn invisible like that." she asks me "We cannot find him, but we can track him with the mega stone if it's Latiosite. If it is then it will glow when he s near." I explain Rainbow Dash then flies off in search for Latios. I also start looking as well. We search all day, but we don't find him. I decide to take the stone and stay in cloudsdale for the night. When I fell asleep I was visited in my dreams by a certain pony. "How are you in my dreams Luna?" I ask her " It is my sworn duty to make sure that all sleep well in Equestria." She says "Usually I'm meet by something much more horrifying, but it's of no importance. It is a problem long gone now." I tell her "What do you mean?" she asks Before i'm able to answer her question i'm woken up. I then see a blue figure, but i'm not able to make it out. > Latios's Secret > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I'm able to make out the figure it was Rainbow Dash, but her cutie mark was not glowing. I instantly realized that it was Latios because if it was Rainbow Dash the stone and her cutie mark would glow. "What do you want Latios," I say getting up "How did you know?" Latios asks "Because I have your mega stone," I tell him "Who was that?" Latios asks "Who...I don't see anybody." I say looking around "The girl you were with when you first found me," Latios explains "Rainbow Dash...so what about her?" I ask "What could I do to impress her?" He asks me "What...wow you are just like your sister," I say beginning to chuckle " I know we look almost identical, so, of course, I'm like her," Latios says confused "That's not what I meant?" I tell him "What do you mean by....I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON RAINBOW DASH!!!" he yells finally realizing what I meant "Then why are you blushing?" I ask him "I'm not blushing," Latios says with his face getting redder by the second "Your face is redder than a firestone. Just admit it...You like Rainbow Dash." I say "Fine, I might have a small crush on her. Don't tell her, but how would I impress her?" He asks "She did say she was the fastest in Equestria. so I think beating her in a race would impress her." I tell him "That's a great idea," Latios tells me "But first, answer me this. Why did you attack those pegasi?" I ask "One day while I and Latias were flying around. When these pegasi made a massive thunderstorm. Latias got hit by a bolt of lightning and crashed. When I came to get her she was gone." He answers "Well, I know she will be okay the ponies here are very caring and will take care of her. I'll look for Latias tomorrow, but before you go take the mega stone. I have no use for it now we found you, and this is the stone that causes you to mega evolve. Now can I sleep?" I say handing him the mega stone "Alright...just don't tell Rainbow about you know what," Latios says before flying away with the stone I quickly fall asleep, but I don't see Luna in my dreams. It probably not important, but having your job to go into people's dreams and see their greatest desires is quite disturbing. The next day I go to Ponyville to look for Latias. I have an idea to where she might be. > Spitfire's Plan > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I went to Fluttershy's cottage the next day in hope of finding Latias. When I arrived I knocked on the door one. The door collapsed and was a pile of ash. I then remembered that when I first meet Fluttershy I burned her door. No one was home not even an animal. I was about to leave when I heard a voice. "Quilava have you found Latios yet? Do you have the mega stone? Rainbow Dash said you had it." It was Spitfire she looked like she needed my help. " I found Latios and I gave him the mega stone. It turns out it was the mega stone that mega evolves Latios." I tell her "You did WHAT!!!" she yells in anger "Don't worry Latios can't mega evolve unless, one he has the stone, two someone else has a key stone, and finally the person with the keystone has a strong bond with Latios." I explain to her "Where is Latios now?" She asks "No Idea... but he did say he was going to challenge Rainbow Dash to a race. Also we need to find Latias. I thought Fluttershy would know, but nobody's home " I tell her "We were ordered to catch and contain Latios. Not to find his sister and leave him be. He is too dangerous to be left alone." Spitfire explains "Well no we don't need to. He is not dangerous." I try to tell her "He destroyed half of Cloudsdale. He's a threat to all Equestria, He must be captured and locked up." Spitfire explains "Well so am I. I could easily destroy all of ponyville, along with the Everfree forest." I explain " Nearly all pokemon could do that." I add on " I guess then we need to rid Equestria of all pokemon. Starting with Latos." Spitfire tells me "Good luck with that... Last time someone tried that in my world. He was stopped by a ten year old boy alone." I tell her "There are no humans in Equestria, so what is there to stop us." she explains "You know I could make your into an overcooked chicken dinner, and what do you mean by "us"?" I ask with the fire on my back burning with great fury. "You will see soon enough." she says before flying off. I had to find Latios and warn him. I race off into town to find Latios, I knew if I found Rainbow Dash i'd find him. When I arrived in town Latios was with Rainbow Dash and Spitfire, but Spitfire was with a pokemon. A Talonflame a powerful fire flying type pokemon. I'm over took with anger and launch a massive fireball at Spitfire, but the Talonflame counters the attack with a powerful hurricane attack. "Quilava what was that for!?!" Spitfire asks with an angry tone "You know exactly why!!! Pokemon are supposed to be partners, friends, and not locked up forever!!!" I yell "What are you talking about Talonflame is my partner." Spitfire explains "But you said that we need to rid Equestria of pokemon when I was at Fluttershy's cottage looking for Latias." I tell everyone "Spitfire was with me and Latios all day talking about the race." Rainbow dash tells me "Then who... but..." I say trying to make sense of the situation "You were with a changeling. Pokemon are without a doubt the best thing that happened to Equestria." Spitfire tells me "That would make sense." I say calming down "Well now we need to catch this changeling and find out what it's up to." Spitfire tells everyone We predict that the changeling would attack Latios during the race. Spitfire, Talonflame, and I wait for the changeling to spring its trap to catch Latios during the race. > Mega Evolution > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The race starts with a bang. Latios and Rainbow Dash both break the sound barrier within the first five seconds of the race. As they pass trees the force of the wind tears of all their leaves and most of their branches, and some trees were ripped out of the ground. Both of them suddenly take to the skies for the first leg of the race where they race through the very track where Rainbow Dash first performed the sonic rainboom. Both of them flew threw the course with ease. The two looked like neither of them could out fly the other. Until Rainbow Dash put both hooves foreword and a rainbow colored cone started forming in front of her, but at the same time Latios's mega stone started glowing brightly. "What's going on?" I ask Spitfire "Rainbow Dash is trying to create a sonic rainboom." Spitfire tells me "What's a sonic rainboom?" I ask "When Rainbow Dash goes fast enough she creates a rainbow and a sonic boom at the same time, but what's happening to Latios?" Spitfire asks Before I'm able to answer her a massive explosion shakes the earth. We look up and see a massive rainbow colored ring in the sky followed by a rainbow trail and a purple trail. We look around and don't see Rainbow Dash or Latios. Suddenly Rainbow Dash and a purple figure flies past us, and then a massive wind hits me and Spitfire. We're knocked back a few dozen meters before rolling to a stop. "What was that?" Spitfire yells "That was Mega Latios, but how is that possible?" I tell her Suddenly another monstrous explosion shakes the ground. We then see a massive green light in the distance. Spitfire races off in that direction. Her Talonflame then Grabs me with its talons and flies off towards Spitfire. "I'm not a big fan of flying at high speeds Spitfire! I think i'm going to vomit!" I yell before vomiting "Talonflame look out!!!" Spitfire yells to Talonflame A massive green beam of energy comes out of nowhere striking me and Talonflame. Talonflame drops me and I crash into the ground. When I got up Talonflame was launching powerful attacks at this large, dark, unicorn-bug like hybrid. I then notice both Mega Latios and Rainbow Dash were trapped in this green force field. The dark creature launched another beam of energy at Talonflame and Spitfire. They were both trapped in a forcefield just like the one Latios was in. "Who are you!" I yell at the creature "I'm Chrysalis...Queen of the Changelings. I told you that Pokemon were dangerous look around you. The landscape is destroyed be cause of this Latios. this land was going to be the home for my subjects. I was expecting more of a fight from this Latios, and now that I have captured one of the elements of harmony nothing can stop me." She says before breaking into an evil laugh "Well sorry to burn your parade, but I'm still able to fight." I tell her "That was a horrible pun Quilava! I thought I was bad at making puns, but that's just sad." Rainbow Dash said from inside her magical prison "Hey! You come up with a pun on the spot!" I yell "You think you could beat me. What a wonderful but absolutely ridiculous sentiment." Chrysalis tells me "Not to put any more holes in you, but last time you said that you were beat by Shining Armor and Princess Cadence's love almost instantly after you said that." Rainbow Dash told Chrysalis "Silence!!! You have no idea who you fighting against." Chrysalis explains I then see behind her a red jet like figure, and it was Latias and she was angry. "Who said I would fight you, and you forgot a small detail about Latios." I tell Chrysalis pointing to the angry pokemon behind her Latias then fires a massive dragon pulse attack at Chrysalis, and at point blank range as well. Chrysalis was caught off guard and was quickly pinned to a wall by Latias.The force fields disappear and everyone surrounds Chrysalis. "I knew that someone would try to capture Latios, so I knew I would have to find Latias. I also knew that Fluttershy had probably found her and took care of her until she was fully healed. Latios and Latias are mentally connected so when Latios was in trouble Latias knew just where to find him." I explain "Talonflame use hurricane!!!" Spitfire orders Talonflame "Latios use mega dragon pulse!!!" Rainbow Dash tells Latios Then all together Latios, Latias, Talonflame, and I launched powerful attacks at Chrysalis. Chrysalis was launched through the sky and flew so far she was out of all of our view. Then Twilight suddenly appeared in front of us. "What happened? I saw a green light and heard an explosion." Twilight asks "How did you get here?" I ask "Teleportation spell." answers Twilight "It was so AWESOME!!! First there was....Then...It's too awesome to explain, but it needed to be about twenty percent cooler." Rainbow Dash states Everyone but me and Twilight started laughing. Nether of us got the joke. When we all returned back to Twilight's library, and Spitfire and Talonflame left Rainbow Dash had a question for me. "When everyone blasted Chrysalis I felt like I had some strange bond with Latios, is this what you were talking about when Luna became friends with Umbreon." Rainbow Dash asks "Yes if it weren't for that bond Latios would not have mega evolved. I'm positive you found yourself your partner pokemon." I explain to Rainbow Dash "Hey Latios...I've been thinking... Would you like to be my partner pokemon?" Rainbow Dash asks Latios Latios gets a big grin on his face and hugs Rainbow Dash. Latias stays with Fluttershy, so it looks like both pokemon found a home. it looks like all has ended well.
