My Little Pokemon

Now, taking care of both a giant lizard and a green dinosaur can be frustrating for Twilight.

Solar kept burning everything she thought was eatable, along with scratching things to sharpen her claws. Twilight didn't like doing it, but she had to take out a squirt-gun and shoot her quickly a few times in the face to make her stop - Twilight read up on Charmanders and avoided shooting her in the tail-flame at ALL costs.

Flytrap was a bit different. Solar and him didn't get along as well as Twilight thought they would. Solar would occasionally snap her claws, causing a flicker of flame to erupt from her hands as she teased him about lighting him on fire. When Solar was sleeping, Flytrap would slap her with a vine and quickly run away before she could burn him like the recent chocolate Pokepuffs.

Migraines would occur as well. Royal Duties too. When a migraine happened, Twilight would scream at the top of her lungs for Solar to stop burning some of the books fallen from the shelves, or to make Flytrap to stop overgrowing the plant outside the house with his powers. This screech would make both the creatures cover their ears for protection, yet they would keep on causing shenanigans when she calmed down.

Royal Duties bothered her more. To keep the small critters safe, she was forced to leave them at home while she went to go write letters to her students about what they learned. When coming home, the house would be a mess and Twilight would have to clean everything. On late nights, however, when she got home around 11:00 she would find the two crying somewhere around the house. This gave Twilight the feeling of a parent. They cared about her, even though they were totally different species. When she was gone, did they really care for her, or were they just loving her because she gave them food and water? Twilight tried to think of it being the first reason, yet the thought of the second always floated in her head occasionally.

"SOOOOLAAAAR!" Twilight screamed, the orange fire-type snapping to her attention. "Quit it! You already burned 5 books today, 8 if you count the ones right now!" Again, Twilight was correct. Solar was holding 3 small books in her hands, all piled up, as she burned them with her mouth flames. They were turned to ashes as they fell the ground.

Flytrap was asleep near the window, his left hind-leg twitching. Solar rolled her beady eyes and crossed her arms, blowing a small tongue of flame towards him; this action made him shriek, obviously awake as he ran behind Twilight.

"Solar, I know you hate him but please, *PLEASE*** don't try to burn him!" Twilight scolded. Solar giggled a scratchy laugh and sneered. Twilight sighed and jumped her bed, collapsing immediately. She was about to moan in tiredness when a letter appeared, looking as if it were sent by Celestia. The letter seemed to be by her friends back in Ponyville, especially since it had green flames - the flames of Spike.

"Dear Twilight,

This is Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, AppleJack, Spike, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. We've all been hearing screams and howls coming from the Cantorlot Castle. Has Celestia noticed yet? If so, has she gotten in touch with you? I've heard she went to Saddle Arabia again to check on her Arabian students, but her flight pony - the one that flies her carriage around - had a broken wing due to him crashing into a thunder cloud during the flight; I think her 'vacation' will have to be delayed for a few days, so we understand if she hasn't. Since you're a princess and you have your responsibilities and your own rules in your life, we'd love it if you could come to Ponyville with us for a few weeks. Luna had to rule the castle while Celestia was gone, so that's covered. But, if you're too busy we fully understand. Being a princess can be hard with all the students and work to be done, but we haven't seen you in a while and we've been hoping we could soon. Hope to see you soon, princess!

                                         ~Love, Mane Six and Spike." Twilight read aloud.

Twilight closed the letter in her magic and set it down on her dresser. She hadn't noticed that Solar and Flytrap had jumped onto her bed as well, looking at the letter in curiosity. The lavender princess giggled and pet both their heads - feeding them a PokePuff, too - and grabbed a piece of paper and a quill with her telepathic grasp. She started writing letters to certain students about her leaving, and then sending them off. One last letter for Luna. she thought.

'Dear Luna, I'll be gone for a few weeks. If you need me, I'll be at my library in Ponyville. Please contact me if trouble comes along at the castle, okay? I hope Celestia is okay!

Love, Twilight Sparkle.' She wrote, sending the letter off immediately.

She started packing her things, first of all. Placing the pink shard's case into another suitcase, she shoved other stuff into the suitcase too. Clothes weren't needed, as nothing special was coming up and she didn't like wearing clothes on a daily basis. She placed her crown on her head and set the case down. Solar and Flytrap! Twilight thought before leaving. How could I forget so easily? She stuffed the jar of Pokepuffs into a different suitcase and put a few toys in it as well.

"How am I gonna get you two to Ponyville without anyone seeing you...?" Twilight muttered to them. They shook their heads, not knowing how, and continued watching her. She thought for a moment before an idea popped in her head as she smirked at them.

Everypony looked strangely at Twilight as she trotted downtown. Her, 'hat' had a flame on the top and a green dinosaur curled up around it. Of course, they knew it wasn't real, but it sure looked weird. It's working! It's working! Twilight thought to herself. as she flew towards Ponyville.

Finally, they got there and she walked inside. The smell of freshly printed books filled the room. When she took her first steps in, she turned the lights on with her magic and set the two creatures down, shutting the door abruptly. Twilight sighed and stretched her wings, the flight being tiring and exhausting. A single, familiar gasp made Twilight shriek and jump infront of the two creatures, covering them with her wings.

"Twilight what are those? Are they dangerous? Are they the ones making you scream every night? If so, what do they do? They're so cute that I wanna pet them and squeeze them and hug them and kiss them and feed them, but I don't wanna pet them and squeeze them and hug them and kiss them and feed them if they're evil and dangerous!" Pinkie's squeaky voice blabbed. Twilight breathed calmly in and out.

"Yes, the do make me scream every night."

The group gasped and Spike - who just walked in - punched his fist in his open hand.

"I'll get them, Twilight! Don't you worry!" Spike screamed as he charged towards Solar - trying to go for a headbutt. He charged with all his might, screaming - but he was abruptly stopped when an orange hand was placed on his forehead, stopping him from attacking. His feet kept sliding, meaning he was running in place while Solar sneered.

"Spike, there's no need to attack," Twilight muttered. "they're here because I want them safe." Spike stopped running and backed away, looking at Twilight for an explanation.

A few more explanations and talk occurred before Twilight introduced their names. "This is Solar and Flytrap, they are harmless unless you make them mad or you hurt them." After that, the ponies learned about how she met them and what happened since she found them. There's one thing she didn't tell them about, though.

Reshiram.

Talking about Reshiram infront of her friends could mean they would know everything. Talking about it was painful all by itself, anyway.

If Pinkie knew about it, she might blabber on about it to other ponies, and then they would blabber on about it and it would keep blabbering until Celestia found out she told them. She remembered that Luna told her to 'keep the information talked about today secret', so Luna would most likely find out first and punish her.

If Rarity knew, she might do the same thing Pinkie might do, except Rarity would call it "gossip."

If Rainbow knew, she might find it 'cool' and brag to other ponies about her finding Reshiram first. Then, Luna might punish Rainbow, or she might've known that Twilight told her instead.

If Applejack knew, well, somepony might overhear Twilight telling AJ about Reshiram and ask the Earth Pony infront of Luna, and, being the element of Honesty, she would have to tell everything she knew about it.

If Fluttershy knew, the information might just make her faint or she would have the information squeezed out of her.

I can't think dark thoughts like that...it might make me crazy or something... Twilight thought to herself. Pinkie spoke up before anyone else could say a thing.

"Hey, Twilight, why are you looking so sad?" She squeaked. She, was infact, correct. Twilight had a worryfull look on her face and quickly smiled when mentioned.

"I'm not sad! I just...just...j-just thought if you guys would like to....to...stay at my place tonight...because I thought you would say no! Yeah, that's what I was thinking! Heheh..." Twilight stuttered, thinking of something quick before they did find out.

And, of course, they didn't suspect a thing and said yes.

"Yay," Twilight squealed. "It'll be just like a sleepover!" Now she had a good thought in her head and Reshiram's thought completely dissolved away. Applejack and Rarity glanced eachother worried looks, yet a fake smile told Twilight they weren't going to enjoy it much.

"I'll go get the supplies and stuff, you guys can stay here, okay?" Twilight said to them as she climbed her stairs to her bedroom.

She actually didn't get the supplies and instead flew out the window, closing the door behind her, and flew to a lake in a forest nearby.

The water shimmered with a bright blue and stood out from everything. It seemed to glow in the dark forest. Twilight looked up and saw the moon glowing in the night sky. Wow, did it take her that long to fly to Ponyville?

Anyway, she dipped her head in the water and sighed. She really did need a break from being a princess. She didn't want her wings gone, but she wanted to have her royal duties stripped away from her life a while. This vacation was exactly what she needed.

All of a sudden, a small, brown turtle shell floated to the water's surface. Twilight was confused for a second - weren't all turtle shells in her world supposed to be green with spots? Then again, she suspected it to be a rare turtle and flipped it over. It wasn't at all of what she expected.

The turtle's face was baby blue, similar to it's hands and feet. It had brown eyes and a yellowish belly-shell with white rims. It also had a beak-like mouth - but not too beak-ish - and it waved it's small arms as it tried to flip back over. Twilight realized it's goal and did it for it.

The turtle-creature swam back to the bottom of the lake and didn't come back up for some time. Right when Twilight decided to go back to her room the turtle jumped out of the water and grabbed her by the hoof, pulling her into the lake. She pushed her face up out of the water to get some breath.

"What was that for?" She gasped. The turtle giggled and swam back under the waves, then erupting and laughing, splashing water at her. "Oh, water fight? Well, it's a water fight you'll get!" She playfully said as she used her wings to flap loads of water at the turtle. Surprisingly, it's hands grew close together as the water in the lake infront of it rose, creating a large wave - then, the wave came crashing down on her, leaving her in complete shock.

"You're definitely not a normal turtle..." Twilight said as she picked him up and brought him to her room. She explained what happened to her friends, dried off with a towel in the bathroom, got the supplies for the sleepover and went to bed. She was too tired to play in the sleepover like she wanted to, but she sure was ready to play with her new friends.

Solar and Flytrap greeted her with their normal name calling ("Bulbaaaaa!" "Mander!") as she petted them on the heads and fed them PokePuffs. She introduced the creature to them - the creature didn't seem very strong against Flytrap, yet Solar was terrified, and stayed as far away as possible.

She opened her suitcase (which she just remembered was in the living room and teleported it to her room) and picked out the Pokémon book - the one that records information. Like Twilight suspected, a new page about the turtle was filled in with the title, Squirtle.

"Squirtle, water type, huh? No wonder Solar's afraid of you," Twilight muttered as she glanced at Solar. She was holding her fiery tail in her grasp of her claws and was close to crying.

"How about I name you," Twilight said to the creature, petting it's head. "Shelldon?" Shelldon nodded his head and jumped with delight. "Shelldon it is, then!"
