My Little Pokemon

Now that Shelldon had been owned by Twilight, things have been getting a bit better. Shelldon seemed to pay attention more than the other two, and helped Twilight a lot whenever Solar seemed to be acting up. By squirting water at Solar a few times, she would calm down a bit and behave - even though an hour later she would be rambunctious again. He also remembered not to squirt her in the tail at ALL, even if she was about to burn down the whole library.

Still, Shelldon didn't seem to like Flytrap that much. When Flytrap would take out one of his vines for non-attacking reasons, he would scream ("SQUIIIRT!") and hide behind something. Flytrap would laugh out loud at this, but Twilight would find out eventually and do something to make him stop.

With work out of the way, all she had to worry about now was stress and somepony else finding out. Luna responded to her letter quickly and said she'd take over the castle while both Celestia and her were out, and Twilight had nothing to worry about.

Twilight's clock rang, making her grunt and attempt to swat at it with her hoof - it failed, and only made her fall off her bed and onto the floor. Since her bed was ontop of a balcony-type thing, she fell down to the library's floor instead. Being an alicorn it didn't hurt her much and she ignored it as if it was normal. After all, she did just move into her old library and didn't adapt to her new balcony bed just yet.

She stretched her wings and legs and walked towards her kitchen. Pouring herself a bowl of cereal, she smacked her lips a few times before moaning as she eyed her bowl. Twilight slid her bottom lip to her left as she rolled her eyes and poured some milk into the bowl - also sliding a spoon into it as well as she teleported it into the living room, teleporting herself as well as she slowly started eating with groggy eyes.

"Bulb?" A small voice yawned. Twilight looked down and saw Flytrap looking up at her. She couldn't help but smile as she picked him up with her magic and placed him next to her on the couch. He nuzzled into her wing, muttered "saaaaaur" and became silent. A few minutes later, Twilight was done eating and got up to wash her bowl. Flytrap had already laid on his back, comfortable in his spot, but when she got up he rolled over and stretched, jumping off the couch.

Flytrap was usually an early bird. He'd get up around 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM, and if the clock didn't wake Twilight, he would. Shelldon, instead, would wake up around 10:00 AM or 11:00 AM. He wouldn't do much if Twilight didn't wake up, but he'd whine, and if she didn't wake up at that he would quit trying at go lay down in the living room. Solar, however, woke up extremely late, around 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The latest would be 5:30, and she'd refuse to wake up if forced to.

Later, Shelldon walked into the living room and yawned. Seeing Flytrap he shook himself awake and stayed as far away as possible. Flytrap didn't wake up, of course, and Shelldon realized this quickly as he went back to seeing where Twilight was. He heard humming coming from the kitchen and waddled in quickly, and gasped in happiness when he saw Twilight cleaning the dishes.

"Squirrrrt!" Shelldon screamed as he ran in to hug her leg. Twilight was surprised at first, but seeing Shelldon she petted him on the head with her wing and stopped cleaning for a second. She looked at the clock remembered that Solar hadn't awoken yet, and found a way to get Shelldon to help, since he was so eager to at the moment.

"Hey, Shelldon!" Twilight said as she bent down to pet him. "Can you do me a quick favor?" Shelldon scratched his chin for a second before nodding quickly. "Good! I need you to go wake up Solar for me, okay?" She asked before standing up and starting on the dishes again. The turquoise creature smiled brightly before running on all fours to Solar's bedroom.

"Oh, and don't forget to NOT spray her in the tail, okay?" Twilight yelled as he ran off.

Solar's bed was bright orange with a burnt side on it, obviously from her tail being there. Shelldon creeped into the room silently, searching for her. When he saw her, he smirked and tip-toed towards her. Her eyes were closed and her back was turned on him, so she couldn't see him anyways. Shelldon sighed quickly, took a big breath and -

"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!" Solar screamed. Shelldon had shot a giant jet of water at Solar's nape. The result was Solar screeching and charging into the kitchen, using her tail flame to attempt to burn the water off. Twilight looked down and saw her huddled under Twilight, trying to hide from the turquoise monster she felt spray water on her. Twilight sighed and finished the dishes before bending down next to her and trying to comfort her.

"It's okay, Solar. Shelldon was just trying to wake you up. You were awake for a long time and it was time for you to wake up. Here," She handed Solar a Pokepuff before sending her off to the living room.

Flytrap was rolling around, bored with nothing to do and often stopping to scratch his cat-like ear. Shelldon was watching him and laughed whenever he couldn't get up, yet the angered Flytrap would use one of his vines to flip Shelldon over to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Solar shrugged, holding the Pokepuff close to her chest as she walked past the two. She gave them a sneer and sat on the couch. Taking one bite, she swallowed the bite hesitantly. Solar swung her tail over to the small cupcake as it slowly started to turn black, and the inner cream started oozing out grey. Then, she took a bite - it was crunchy and smoking, yet she had a look on her face as if she just ate a piece of a creamy, sweet, delicious apple pie.

Twilight came into the room humming - she obviously just finished the dishes and didn't seem too exhausted. Looking at her creatures, she guessed they were bored. I mean, if you had to stay in a house for days and days, with no one taking you out, how would you feel? Twilight sighed and made a calling sound to get their attention.

"Hey, guys, are you bored?" She asked when they all looked at her. Solar nodded her head fast (and burped, which made fire go everywhere), Flytrap shrugged and Shelldon nodded at a normal speed. "Well...do you wanna go for a walk?" They all went wide-eyed for a while before smiling brightly. Twilight grinned and levitated 3 collars (with leashes attached) and snapped them around their bellies. Flytrap and Shelldon were still very happy to go, but Solar seemed a bit disappointed she had to be tied up during the walk.

"Don't worry, Solar. These leashes don't stay firm and still, they expand and stretch so you can go wherever you like during the walk." Twilight explained, Solar getting a bit happier. The lavender princess opened the back door - which was leading to a backyard forest that no one knew about any longer, due to it being a few centuries old and it being infamous anyway. It still looked young, and pine trees were everywhere. However, in the exact middle of the forest, there was a giant oak tree that many small animals came to drink it's sap.

She lead them outside and let them explore, holding the leash with her telepathic grasp. The leash, did infact, expand and stretch. Shelldon went to a nearby lake and jumped in, Flytrap went to the oak tree and licked some sap off the tree and Solar stayed where she was, wide-eyed, and didn't move.

"What's wrong, Solar? What happened?" Twilight asked before looking to where Solar was. When she did, she gasped and went wide-eyed as well. Flytrap screamed when he looked and Shelldon said "squirt" in an amazed tone.

Small, green caterpillars were everywhere in some grass. They all had a red thing on their head and some had eyelashes. Flytrap seemed pretty scared of them, yet Shelldon stayed in an amazed state. Solar, well, she had an evil grin on her face and her tail was on fire - not any fire, though, a blazing, huge, healthy fire. It seemed so hot that it looked as if Solar's tail would be melting by now. Instead, she took one step forward, another step forward and kept taking a step until she started walking at a normal pace. Then, she started jogging and then started running - her eyes were turned to small dots and her claws now seemed ready to tear into something as a large, sharp smile plastered across her face.

"SOLAR, NO!" Twilight screamed. She yanked on the leash and Solar was sent flying backwards - she crashed into a tall pine tree and fell off, landing infront of Twilight. Solar moaned as she had a few scratches and dirt on her, but she got back up and growled at Twilight.

"Solar, those are poor, helpless caterpillars! How dare you try to hurt them!" Twilight scolded as Solar crossed her arms, grunted and sat down, looking away from Twilight. Flytrap shivered and stayed scared, yet Shelldon didn't stay amazed any more. He now felt very, very angry because some of them fell into the water and started scattering dust everywhere in the clear water. Shelldon sucked in a bunch of air, and blew a giant jet of water at the caterpillars - they were too sent flying and they all crashed into a tree, their eyes replaced with swirls.

One caterpillar, however, was still awake and was shivering. It had small eyelashes and was crawling over her fainted species as she gasped, "Pieee!" when she saw the angered Solar and Shelldon staring at her.

"Shelldon! Solar! Don't even THINK about it!" Twilight yelled at them as she tried to hold the leash still - she had some trouble, though, because both Shelldon and Solar were struggling to run at the last Caterpillar.

"Cater...PIIIIIIEEE!" The caterpillar screamed as millions of strands of string wrapped Solar, Flytrap and Shelldon in a frozen state. None of them could move, except Twilight who tried to unwrap her creatures from the string. Eventually, She finally got the string off and stared at the caterpillar in awe. Shelldon and Flytrap didn't bother to try and battle it, yet Solar had a look on her face that looked like she was about to rip it to shreds.

"You're definitely one of those 'Pokemon' creatures..." Twilight gasped as she carried it back to her home, her other creatures following behind her.

At home, Solar shivered at the sudden change of temperature, and Shelldon and Flytrap collapsed on the floor from exhaustion. Twilight sighed and teleported them to their beds as she let the small Caterpillar crawl around.

"The book!" Twilight muttered, remembering the Pokémon book that registered info about newly seen Pokémon. She hovered it over to her (it was on a secret shelf that only Twilight, the librarian, could take books from) and searched through the pages. There was a new page filled in, with the title, "Caterpie." Twilight smiled when she finished reading as she hovered it back to it's original spot and stared at the small Caterpie.

"I'm not sure of a nickname to call you..." Twilight muttered. It wiggled around, trying to dig through the floor, yet it failed miserably. "How about Worm?" It looked up and gave her a disappointed look.

"Fine, how about Cutie?"

It gave her a look.

"Beauty?"

It smiled (in some way) and nodded it's head. Twilight smiled and hugged it, generating a small beanbag for it's bed and teleporting it to the bedroom with her other Pokémon. Yawning, Twilight teleported herself into her own bed and slowly drifted off to sleep.
