Technical Machine 45: Attract, if the opponent is of opposite gender they become infatuated making them less likely to attack. The move is not particularly favored and most find it to be very useless. However, in the right hands, the move plays a very important piece in perfected strategies as it has no functional cure to the effects.

Fire Hazard does not know Attract, still it appeared like he had used it on both Scootaloo and Applebloom.  The two fillies stood in there places and looked up at the colt who was now successfully standing on the table.

"Sweetie Belle, I think I need more of an explanation" Twilight questioned.

Sweetie Belle got up and shook her head and ready to reply. Of course, she made a quick glance to see if she got her Cutie Mark. With a sigh of disappointment  she turned to Twilight who carried a heavy look of concern.

"I'm really sorry Twilight, I was trying a high level spell to see if I had a talent for it. But I guess I don't"

"Well... what spell did you attempt, and who is this colt?"

"Oh I tried a spell to create out of world objects. He kinda appeared after I tried"

"Oh, oh this can't be good."

Taking notice to the brewing panic in Twilight's voice Sweetie Belle secluded a little from sight. Fire Hazard took immediate attention to Sweetie Belle's show of fear and hopped off the table, preparing for whatever came next.

"Umm whats wrong Twilight?"

Twilight facehoof "Sweetie Belle, does he look like an object to you?" Pointing her hoof at Fire Hazard.

"Oh... Oh no... That can't be good..."

With a short burst of air Scootaloo, was standing in front of Fire wearing a grin that could almost, almost, dwarf Pinkies'.  Without regard to personal space, she reached out and took his hoof and shoke it.

"Hi, my names Scootaloo. It's so nice to meet you."

Fire didn't have enough time to reply at all. Applebloom finally found her ability to Speak and move after Scootaloo had.

"Howdy, mah names Applebloom. It's a pleasure ta meet yah Fire Hazard."

Neither filly got a response as Twilight levitated them way and stood in place as she questioned the colt.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, if you can tell me what world you are from I can send you back."

The colt stared at her unsure of what she was asking. The old sense of loyalty in him kicked up and he looked over to the white filly who was waiting patiently for whatever Twilight was doing.

"I'm sorry, I can't be separated from my trainer."

"Um, excuse me?"

"You're excused"

"No I mean, Nevermind but what do you mean trainer?"

"I mean the one who caught me,the white fluffy one over there."

He pointed his hoof to Sweetie Belle who only cringed at it. Both Applebloom and Scootaloo looked over with small hints of jealousy. Twilight appeared as if she saw a ghost.

"Well... This requires a fully detailed story. Excuse me young colt can you tell us what you were doing before you awoke here"

"I was battling a Pidgeotto off the coast of one island"

"Umm...Can you elaborate a little more?"

"Elaborate?"

"Explain those things like what do you mean by battling and whats a pidgeotto?"

"Oh I was battling a pidgeotto sent out by a trainer. It's a little fight in which two to six Pokemon fight in tactics as well as strength, in two individual teams."

"Whats a Pokemon?"

"Umm... Like a Pidgeotto and me, except I'm a Ponyta and not a Pidgeotto"

"So you're a Ponyta?"

"Yeah"

"And that's a Pokemon?"

"Yes"

"And a pidgeotto is also a Pokemon?"

"Yeah"

"And a Pokemon is in general a"

"A something that inhabits all over the world coming in many different forms and breeds"

"so you are from the world of Pokemon?"

"I guess"

"And right before you came here you were in the middle of a fight?"

"Well actually I had just lost and was being caught in a pokeball"

Twilight facehoofed, "OK, so you were being captured by a ball when things changed and now you are here?"

"Umm yeah."

"So what makes you think Sweetie Belle is your trainer?"

Fire looked at the ground. Why did he feel Sweetie Belle was his trainer? "I don't know, it's got something to do with the

fact she brought me here."

Twilight sighed "Well I got to examine this entire thing through until I figure out what needs to be done. Whatever happened has brought you here to Equestria, and I can't return you to your world with out more research. Until then I guess you can stay here at the library with me."

Twilight turned to look at the three fillies who were shaken up with what they heard. " You three I want to keep an eye on Fire Hazard. Maybe show him around Ponyville and make him feel welcome. Can you three handle that?"

"But Twilight-" Sweetie Belle was unable to complete her complaint as both Applebloom and Scootaloo answered in unison.

"YES!"

Fire glanced over to the three. Both two were smiling very weirdly and his trainer was casting looks of curiosity at them.

"Excuse me can you explain to me what you all are?"

Twilight giggled "Oh how silly of me. We are Ponies, this world is Equestria.  Everypony here is a pony and I guess you were turned into one upon coming here."

"Actually I always looked something like this."

"Oh well maybe it won't be too hard for you to fit in. Ahha I have an idea!" Twilight turned her head to the crusaders. " Why don't you three take him to Sugarcube Corner. I know somepony will give him a nice welcome there"

" Ooo that's a great idea," Sweetie Belle spoke up "C'mon Fire Hazard"

Seeing as it was his trainer giving the order, Fire Hazard followed the three out of the library.
