> A Small 'Spark' of Yellow > by The Dusk Zone > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: An Equestrian Pokemon (Re-Written) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 1: An Equestrian Pokemon It was a breezy day in the Guardian Forest, a secret heart of Viridian and many other forests. This single Forest heart links the forests of Unova, Shinto, Johto, and Kanto. This particular ground is unknown, yet through the eyes of Pokemon, its an Oasis of other Pokemon and Life. Here you can find tribes, packs, herds, all sorts. You had the ones made up of Ponyatas, Rapidashs, Zebrastrikas, and most equine related Pokemon. In another tribe, it was made up of purely starters. Snivys, Turtiles Chimchars. Charmanders, Squirtles, Mudkips, Treckos, and many other starter-favorites. What was typically un-noticed, was an evolved tribe of Pikachus. They didnt look any different then of regular Pikachus, but they had the unnatural ability to use several moves that weren't Lighting base, but energy based. Iron Tail, Volt Tackle, Agility, Solar Beam, Hyper Beam, and many more. Though, the most social and known of them was a female Pikachu, who was Nicknamed 'Sparkler'. Her full name was "Yellow Sparkler of Kutinam", Kutinam being the tribe's official name. She is usually social, yet not many know about her really. Some say she used to be shy. Its hard to tell, with the way she acts like now. All any could say is, she acts as a guardian to others. That much is known. Today was one of her day's that she preferred to explore all regions she could, meaning the whole forest(s) if needed. Though, it was a slow start, as she took her time. As she traveled through the Unova Forest, as its always her first choice to explore, she soon came upon some ruins. From the entrance, she heard many screams, human words, and...was that a Roar of Time? wasting no time, she started traversing the steps down, to the source. She had been down this temple way once, but had found nothing. Just a giant wall, with a strange mural on it. The mural was a pokemon, but not one that was easily made out. After a few long minutes, Sparkler finally found the place the wall... HAD been. It had been crumbled, and the room ahead was lit up by an Emolga Flying around using Flash, not as a move, but as light only. There was a Trainer, commanding... How is THIS possible? That was Articuno, the Legendary ice Pokemon! And Ho-Oh, and Zapados! Facing.... Arceus! If you could see Sparkler's face, it was like Pikachu on acid. Or, lamely, a pikachu who just got critical hit-ed, head spinning an eyes looking like big X's. Now, after making sure she could see, Sparkler watched the battle with interest. Why would Arceus waste time fighting other Legendaries of a Trainer? Then.... the Trainer showed his face. The battle was intense. The fight was lasting more then a simple few minutes, Arceus refusing to give up to the Trainer-in-Red. Already had his "Sons", Dialga and Palkia, have lost their battles and gone down, Zapdos injured, and the three current fighting hard. No matter what move, Red couldn't get in close. Ice Beam, Flame Thrower, Hyper Beam, Agility then Quick Attack, Surf, none of it did much effect. Arceus resisted all. Red, however, had one ace up his sleeve. It was a move he had never shown, but would sometiems do to troublesome pests like Team Rocket. The Triple Finish. Red suddenly called all Legendaries back, and then took out three expertly hidden Pokeballs. And released them all. A Charzard, a Ivysaur, and a Squirtle. While not the oddest combo, it left Arcues confused. The three then got side by side, and Red gave the Order. Arceus only had seconds to counter with a Solid Hyper Solar Strike, a Combo of Solar Beam, Hyper Beam, and Hydro Pump. Charzard was using a Beam-Type flame thrower, Ivysaur Solar Blade, and Squirtle... Water Gun. This move caused one of the largest energy balls to be created from the two moves meeting, actually starting to draw surrounding things in. Not solid things, instead; dust, cobwebs, and small pebbles. Red's face was covered by his hat, but a dark smile/smirk showed. Arceus was weakening. Sparkler didn't dare stay to watch, starting the hard climb to get up the stairs. The energy around was too usntable to stay. Not even half-way up the Steps, Sparkler heard a large explosion somewhere below her, and a Rip-Tide rift of Energy. Sparkler ran faster, wishing she knew agility. One can only have so many moves. Though, she had no time to escape. She was caught in the Energy, suspended in mid air, before a second energy suddenly sent a return pulse, and Sparkler blacked out from it's intense force... "C'mon, Twilight! Catch the ball!" It was a sunny afternoon in Ponyville. The world of Equestira at peace, not a pony out of line. Here, at Ponyville Park, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash were busy with a game of catch. This was an optionally rare occasion for Twilight, as she usually kept to research or reading books. But, A nice game of catch was nice every once and a while. Even more so with Rainbow. Twilight was about to catch the ball, not using magic. And it pretty much slipped out of her hooves once caught. "Aww, c'mon Twilight! Your supposed to CATCH it!" "I did, Rainbow! But, I just cant keep a hold on it." "Well, you need to practi--... Oh. My. Celestia." Twilight didn't speak another word. Rather, she turned around and looked up. In the sky, was nothing ever seen before. A giant fireball was hurdling towards them, more precise, the Everfree Forest. what was more interesting was it seemed to be conducting electricity. And some other elements at the same time. Yet, there seemed to be nothing like it before, not even a meteor could cause this. After about a minute of awe-ing, the supposed "Meteor" hit Everfree, causing one large boom and small earthquake to follow. But, neither Rainbow nor Twilight faltered, as both dashed off into the Everfree. The impact point seemed to be at the old ruins of the Princesses' old castle. Yet, who knows what they would find! A rare element of a crashed meteor? A new... species from some extra-terrestrial origin? Twilight was all for this, yet was really concerned more about WHAT it was instead of its benefits. After some few hours of having Blacked out, Sparkler finally started to wake once again. She could feel a great blood loss, but not enough to make her kill over, or keep her grounded. She got up, but felt... odd. Something was off.... She slowly opened her eyes, finding her surroundings to be a bit more.... Eye-Popping. Even in the Mid-Dark Lighting, it was... noticeable. She closed her eyes, as she thunder shocked the nearest Torch, which gave light. She made a slow trug to it, before coming to rest under the light. Though, trying to lay on all fours was hard. That was, until she got a whiff of her extended limbs. She squealed in fear. She did not understand her current situation fully, but it was obvious something was off. It did not seem to be anything... well, actually, yes, it WAS something major. Where were her stubby limbs? Where were the cute little digits on the ends of her arms, her chubby yet fast body? WHAT was she now, that made her different? Her head felt heavier, rear a bit oddly shaped (not to mention her entire body feeling weird that is), as well as the fact everything looked... off to her. Maybe she grazed an eye on something? Sparkler had no more time to rest, however, as she heard the beating of wings, and the hard clopping of hooves heading her way. Her cheeks went a-fury, lighting up with several sparks coming off. As the two figures came close, she shot off an entire thunder bolt from her body, the two that came in view as a Purple... Rapid Dash with a weird length on her head, and the other a Equine Flying Type. "Not. A step. Closer. My Name is 'Yellow Sparkler of Kutinam.' Now..... Mind telling me where in Guardian I AM?!" > Chapter 2: Let there be a new Light > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sparkler awoke with a start. It was hard to judge how much time had passed, but... well, certainly time did pass. For one she found herself in something similar to a Cave of sorts. But, there were bars on the other side of the room, and... equines standing guard? She tried to speak only to find a muzzle on her snout, as well as something on her tail. She felt... weak. As if something drained her natural ability to manage Electricity like a normal Pikachu. Pikachu... the race almost sound foreign. She didn't want to admit it to herself, but... something happened and things changed. And she wished she knew what exactly was going on. But at the same time she was somewhat an emotional battle ground. Her cheeks would spark every so often, thanks to a mixture of emotions, and one wrong move she could use that build up for something worse than a mare being on a period, being pissed off. She looked around, seeing only what looked to be a bed just big enough for her, as well as the fact it seemed there wasn't much else. She sighed, and looked ahead back at the bars and the guards. They didn't even make quiet conversation at all. They must be... very well trained. For a moment she was tempted to try and see if she could get their attention before an explosion nearly shook the place up. Well, not an explosion. But something loud and booming enough to rattle the very structure of the place she was being held captive. She could only imagine what it was... "SHE IS NOT A PRISONER!" Twilight was glad she knew how to use the Royal Canterlot voice. It seemed that neither Princess understood fully the situation. So, Twilight would have to explain for the 5th time... in the last two hours. "I'll say this again. The pony down in the dungeons right now, is not a prisoner. She may have attempted to attack us, but if not for me being any kinder than I was, She would have lost a leg. It was sprained, AND broken, with a nice gash on the side." Celestia sat there and sighed softly, shaking her head "We cannot simply let this mare roam free though. You said it yourself my f--" "Ooooohh no, DO NOT pull the Student card this time Celestia. You don't understand, she's not a PONY. There has been no pony in existence that controls electricity NATURALLY from their body. No horn. No wings. I already looked into it a small amount, and something tells me a bigger power is in play here." Twilight huffed as her wings flapped a bit in somewhat anger and annoyance. Why is it the same Princesses she knew her whole life as being open minded were so closed on keeping the mare locked up? Luna was silent for a long moment, before finally speaking up. "I...I cannot say I agree with you, Twilight. But, I cannot disagree. I... looked into the dream she was having when you brought her here. Most of it seemed to be a blur, most likely due to Adrenaline. But, something was very clear. The fabric of space was interrupted by a fraction of a second and a portal linking our world and this... "Mare's" world. I cannot say I believe this... but it would be how you see it, Twilight" This made the Lavender Alicorn nearly stop dead. Dimensional Travel? That was a whole new level of science not even she thought of exploring. But it opened talk to many more solutions. "...With permission this new mare comes to live with me, under tutelage and observation. Its obvious you two won't trust her for the time being, but, I will. I see the good in her, but tell me. i know both of you know this well. When you are in panic, scared, all alone? what would you do if you were in a place unknown, and didn't know if it was friendly or not? You would lash out. Fight back at what was closest because that is INSTINCT. Zecora saw to the mare the best she could and after I was sure Dash alerted the girls, we came here. If anything I'm giving her a chance. Since when did you two stop giving others chances?" This is where both Celestia and Luna became dead silent. The two didn't know how to respond to such... force-of-words, as well as how they both got put in their place. With recent events, after the whole need to use Rainbow Power, and Twilight ultimately new power and more Alicorn-like form after the battle with Tirek, the two were skeptical. But Celestia soon caved in. She had to. She couldn't say no to Twilight. "...If you believe this mare has good intentions and deserves better, it is upon you now, Twilight. Report any CRUCIAL findings to us. Not a letter-every-day thing, alright? No need to stress over it." Twi beamed. She knew she would win, it was just better to make sure bridges stood firm, and weren't burned down. Now she would need to build a new one. Sparkler awoke to the smell of warm food, and the scent of grapes coming off of some one. Opening her eyes, she found herself looking at a fairly tall Equine. Whom had a pretty lavender coat, actually. It looked better than she thought it might look. Most equines in the Nameless Forest never really... kept that well clean. Twi used her magic, and slowly worked at it, and took the muzzle off of Sparkler. She smiled softly, and moved the tray of food she had gotten for her, a simple bowl of hot honey-oatmeal, and Orange Juice for a drink. "Sorry for... well, what seems to be hostility towards you. The muzzle, and the Charge-Suppressor. Other's... don't exactly trust you. I'm Twilight Sparkle." Twi then looked over Sparkler, and nodded a bit. "Welcome to Equestria."
