As a challenge from Spike, Twilight attempts to enjoy the wonderful sunny day inside researching while everypony else is playing. Her research eventually yields a rather interesting toy, and she decides to go find one and play. For researching purposes, of course.

What happens next however, wasn't anything like what she had expected.

The Academy of Equestria is known for their technological innovations, and Twilight Sparkle has long been aware of their advances. So when she receives a letter from the Princess herself regarding technology that the Academy has made, Twilight is eager to explore the opportunities that open up alongside it. Fascinated by the "cars" she encountered, the Academy asks her to attempt to spread some awareness and use her influence to spread the knowledge about them. Twilight's stumped for a while before Pinkie suggests making a TV show, and with (almost) everypony's approval, they begin production almost immediately.

So fillies and gentlecolts, introducing My Little Top Gear: Speed is Magic!

At seventeen years old, Ash Ketchum just won the Kanto League Tournament. He's on top of the world, and one step closer to achieving his life long dream.

With only his wits, cunning, and faithful Pokemon at his side, he bravely takes a step forward into the unknown....known as Equestria.
