Pokemon The Equestiran Struggleby Carmine ProphetChaptersColony sevenNew worldHunker Down for the night?Colony sevenEarth Year: unknown Region: Kanto Colony: seven Colony population: 70 External Temperature: -50 F, -45 C ======================================================================= “Bay! Bayleef!” “Ya I know girl it’s fucking frigid out here. But we have to get this antenna repaired.” A Colored man said wearing a heavy fur lined black winter jacket with a purple hoodie, under it a black flat brim fitted hat with a purple fleur de lis in the middle, Boots, thick winter gloves, goggles, lined thick Cargo pants, and a scarf covering his neck. But if you looked behind him you would see that sticking out from the man’s back about four or five inches was what looked like an armored hump. But in running down the middle of the hump was a holographic display which featured ten segmented but detailed images of human spinal cord vertebra creating the spike like bones that protect the delicate nerves protruding from the hump the hologram on his back was known around the colony as resource integration gear Or a RIG that actually ran along the users spine and linked to and monitored the users nervous Tom. They were actually quite useful for monitoring one’s health and body temp because they would project them a two dimensional image for the user and other allies to monitored and as the user was injured the number of bares on the rig would decrease depending on the type of injury. But his was a custom design as one of the only field scientists and was a commodity the colony didn’t like risking him so his RIG was armored like the ones used by the colony’s surface teams the funny thing about his rig though was that if you didn’t know one could easily confuse his rig for some kind of gruesome and fatal injury. The man stood up from his job with his Bayleef nuzzling his side to stay worm. The man looked up into the snow. “Hay! Latias! How’s it going up there?” He shouted hearing four bangs on the antenna letting him know that she had heard him and it was ok. “How’s our baby Eevee doing up there with you!?” he asked and upon receiving another four bangs he decided to get back to work knowing they were ok up there. “Got it just hold it for a little longer!” He yelled. Kneeling back down he lowered his goggles grabbed his welding torch continued working with his Bayleef snuggling closer for the warmth of the 6,000 *C Flame. He continued working until he heard a set of footsteps coming from behind him. “Hay man I brought you some more welding rods.” The voice said from behind him. “Thanks Zach. You’re a life saver.” The man said holding a hand out until he received a rod. “Almost. Done!” he said finishing up and Jumped up. Waking his sleeping Bayleef by accident and making her fall on her side into a snow bank. “Squirt. Squirtle. Squirtle!” Zach’s little companion laughed only to receive a two snow balls to the face courtesy of Bayleef. “Hay Quann where’s your Latias and Eevee?” Zach asked. “Up there. Hay I’m done you can come on down!” He yelled receiving two bangs in return. Turning around Quann saw he friend Zach who had his usual facial stubble forming a beard. He was wearing a thick winter jacket with a hood attached, he also had on a red hoodie and tee-shirt under that, he also had on blue winter pants, and black boots, with Mamoswine fur mittens. And his signature fitted flat brim DC hat. Zach’s rig was a more armored version of the standard Colony seven Security RIG set it stuck out about five or six inches and had the same amount of segments as his friend Quann. And the segments themselves were nothing special just ten cyan cylinders going along his spine. The rig armor itself was more of a reddish color. Whereas Quann’s was a darker blue and the segments themselves being a whitish purple. “Hay Zach…” before he could finish he was tackled by a white and gold blur. Leaving Zach with the job of catching the silver Eevee witch he did relatively easily. “Hay Latias get off!” Quann shouted as struggling to get from under his shiny Latias. She continued to nuzzle him until she was hit with a take down by Bayleef knocking her off of him. “Bay. Bayleef! Leef-bay!” “La lati- tias!” The two Pokémon continued to argue with each other with Eevee looking back in fourth. But before they could continue one of Zach’s poke-balls opened and another shiny Latias came out and scolded the other. “Looks like angel decided to take the high road this time.” Quann said taking Eevee into his hands from Zach. “Ya…” Zach started. But as he was about to continue the entry hatch swung open and three men walked out. Well it would be more correct to say two men walked out and one fell out coughing. Two of them were hearing Mamoswine mouth covers while the other wasn’t. “Get up.” The one with a shotgun in his hands said. “Give me another day. Just one more day.” Said the older sick man who had to be in his mid to late fifties who was wearing a winter clothes and a regular unarmored civilian rig. Witch only consisted of four segments and resembled four triangle shapes going down the user’s spine in a line staged line. This particular man’s rig was at the last bar and was blinking red. “One more day isn’t going to make any difference.” The leader said pushing him back down. The leader was also wearing a civilian rig but it had a little bit of brass armor. “Please! Give me some more meds.” The sick man said crawling backwards. “You had your meds Hal. You’re getting worse.” “Put me back in quarantine.” Hal said. “Come on guys return.” Quann said returning his Pokémon to their pokeballs. All except for his Bayleef who hated them. “Just till tomorrow. I’ll get better! *Cough*” Hal said “You’re not going to get better Hal.” The gunman said loading the shotgun. “I’ll take the walk. It’s my choice.” Hal said holding his hand out pleading. “Not today.” The gunman said pumping the shotgun. “You can’t do this. It’s my choice! *cough*” “It’s my job. Make your peace Hal.” “Mason!” Quann yelled running over with Zach and Bayleef behind him. “He tested positive Quann!” Mason said turning to him and his friends. As Hal coughed in the background. “He has a choice! Let him walk!” “He’ll just come back. They all ways do. We can’t let him infect the rest of the colony.” Mason said aiming the shot gun at Hal only for him to have his elbow pulled away by Quann. “Mason!” Quann said earning a glare from Mason. “This isn’t right.” Quann pleaded. “Bay Bay!” “Ya man back off.” Zach and Bayleef said. “This is survival!” Mason said before mushing the twenty year old to the ground. And taking aim at Hal and shooting him in the back as he tried to run. And as his rig dropped to black it made a flat line sound for about three seconds. “Nothing personal.” He said before turning back and walking into the Colony. “His time was up that’s all Quann.” The other a blue hared man said. “It wasn’t your fault James.” Before he turned and walked back inside followed by Zach and Bayleef into the colony. =============================================== “In This place we live in fear of the common cold.” Quann, Bayleef and Zach walked through the colony looking for the last member of their group of friends. “The last flu wiped out twenty people in less than a week.” After talking to some other survivors and letting Eevee out of her pokeball and onto his shoulder. Quann and Zach continue onward in their search. “So now we’ve got rules. You get sick, you go into quarantine.” After some more searching the group finally finds Kody in the bio dome with is Beedrill. Kody is what you would call the strong silent type most of the time. His Rig was an armored version of the civilian rig resembles his rig’s armor was brown like wood and the hologram itself resembled a twisting vine with the lives of the vine acting as the bars. “If you don’t get better. You’ve got a choice.” The four of them walked around for a bit before going to get some food from the mess hall. “A bullet, Or a long walk in the snow.” The four of them continued to eat with Bayleef continually nuzzling her trainer. Until he got an audio message from the doctor telling him that had to go talk to his mentor and leader of this ragtag group of survivors. Briggs but to anyone but him Doctor Redwood. “At least that’s how it’s supposed to work.” ======================================================= “Briggs.” Quann said following after he mentor. Who was a middle aged black man who he swore looked like Laurence Fishburn. He was dressed in a thick brown fur collared black winter coat. He also wore a crimson jacket, with black winter pants, and unlike Kody, Briggs wore a pretty decently armored bronze rig that stuck out about an inch or two and the display was that of the civilian rig. “What’s up Quann?” The large black doctor asked as he kept walking. “I need to talk to you.” “Look don’t start. Hal knew the rules. His blood test was positive and he wasn’t getting any better.” Briggs said pausing to let another survivor pas. “We don’t have the meds to keep fighting this flue any more. And we can’t risk another outbreak.” He continued. “Why do we leave it to one guy who loves to pull the trigger?” Quann asked following his mentor up a short flight of stairs. “Look this Colony started with over 400 people. And I have done too much surface time with a shotgun in one hand and a shovel in the other… I’ve had my fill of blood in the snow. You understand? Now mason is doing just what has to be done.” “Ya but he’s not doing it right. He didn’t give him a choice….. Hal wanted to walk not take a bullet.” Quann said sadly and “Well right now we have a bigger issue. Come with me. Get your friends.” ============================= “Alright people listen up!” Briggs said to Quann and his friends. “What is it Professor?” Kody asked. “Well white boy. I have heard through the grape vine that Mason is planning a coup to over throw me.” Briggs said “Isn’t that some shit.” Zach said “Ya they are planning on moving on me today so we have to leave now before we get cornered.” Briggs said. “What? Leave!” Kody argued. “Ya Kody it is our best bet to get away before Mason starts cracking down.” Quann said earning nods from the others. “Ok let’s split up. Zach you’re with me. We are going to the armory to get some weapons and ammo and blow the rest. Kody you go with Quann and help him get his projects they just might come in handy. We meet at the entrance in 45 minutes.” Briggs said earning nods from them all “Let’s get it done. Come on Bayleef.” Quann said running down a corridor with Kody close behind him. “Bay Bay!” she said before following her trainer. “You to kid lets go.” Briggs said to the twenty-two year old Zach. As they both ran down the corridor to the armory. =========================================================== “Ok Kody the gauntlets should be in that chest over there here’s the key.” Quann said throwing Kody a key. Bayleef was getting the other things like a fist sized glowing cylinder label solar reactor. “Come on buddy where are you?” Quann said Franticly searching for his very first and most powerful Pokémon’s poke-ball. This was given to him by professor red wood when he started his Pokémon journey and he had trained this Pokémon all his life in secret so he always has a trump card. After flipping over a bag he found it a blue and orange pokeball, smiling because no one had ever seen this Pokémon not even his other Pokémon this was his only male Pokémon. It was the crowning achievement in Professor Red woods days working in team rocket as a breeder and a geneticist, Before he left to become a professor but despite his leaving team rocket some of the other professors still didn’t like him very much asking that his research went agenized Pokémon evolution. “Hay Bayleef Come here.” Quann said getting a “Bay” in response and when she came over he put some weird looking coat on her It looked like a jacket making her tilt her head in confusion. “I don’t know how long we’ll be walking so best to keep you warm.” Quann said getting a nod from her. And began packing supplies into her saddle bags. And his research and tools and some work in progress into his back pack, and more supplies into Kody’s back pack. “Status Report?” Briggs asked Quann as a holographic live image of his face appeared about three feet in front of Quann on a two dimensional screen that was being projected by his rig if you looked you could see Zach running around in the back ground planting C4 charges. “Almost done Briggs just have to get a few more things.” Quann responded. “Understood Briggs out.” He said as the image turned to static and the display diapered. “Found them!” Kody yelled holding two grey mettle gauntlets that came up to about your elbow with a glowing white circle in each palm. “Here trade me!” Quann said before throwing Kody his bag and Kody threw him the gauntlets witch he put on. After hearing the satisfying whine of the gauntlets activating he nodded to Kody and they ran to the entrance of the colony. But not before Quann primed the c4 charges in his lab. And whistling calling a Yanma to come flying out of the corner and perch itself on his right shoulder. This Yanma she had given it to him at the start of his Pokémon journey before she died and had been with him since the beginning because of this it was his second strongest Pokémon. But like his Eevee he didn’t keep it in his rotation. It was more like a traveling companion or a pet. “Yan! Yan!” Yanma greeted happily “Ee Eevee.” “* pant pant* Hay Quann?” Kody asked. “Ya man?” Quann responded as they continued to run to the entrance. “I wish the others were still here.” Kody said as they rounded a corner. “Ya I wish Regan, Shane, Chris, and David were here. We could really use there help right about now.” Quann said Remembering back when they were around they were all strong people in their own right but the seven of them were unstoppable. ======================================= Rounding a corner the quartet met up with Zach and Briggs at the entrance just as the Colony alarm sounded. Zach had an m16A4 from back in the day, and Briggs had a 500 Mag. “About time you three got here. Quann, Kody here.” Briggs yelled tossing Kody some kind of pump shotgun, and Quann an Ak-47. Which he slung over his shoulder. Just as the Bayleef, Quann, and Kody were there they heard the sounds of approaching footsteps and an explosion. And quickly Quann pressed a button on his left gauntlet detonating the charges in his lab. “Come on we can’t let them escape!” they heard. And they quickly tried to open the door only for them to find out that it was locked. “We can’t get it open! Professor.” Zach yelled. “I’ll get it! You might want to back up!” Quann said making them back up wandering what he was going to do. Quickly he aimed both of his gauntlets at the door and much to the shock of the others after they heard a raising whine they saw what resembled a solar beam shoot out blowing up the door. Making the others just stare at him and wonder why he even made them. “Let’s go.” Briggs said snapping every one out of it except Bayleef who was staring at Quann starry eyed. “Come on girl!” Quann yelled over the siren snapping her out of it and they followed the others. ========================================== The Pokémon working the perimeter were startled when they heard an explosion coming from the colony entrance followed by shouting. Regan’s Milotic like the other Pokémon without trainers who were put on the perimeter guard turned around turned around. But what they saw shocked them they saw they saw Professor Red Wood and there late trainers friends running out of the Colony followed by mason and his followers. But what shocked them was when who they assumed to be Quann judging by the fact that he had a Bayleef running beside him and an Eevee stuffed in his shirt. They saw him slide to a stop turn around and aim his arm at one of their pursuers and fire ‘solar beam’ at them, the attack blew one of Masons men to bits. “You and those brats aren’t going any were Briggs!” Mason shouted. “We are leaving Mason you are a tyrant we are leaving this dead colony!” Zach yelled “You’re now going any ware!” mason yelled as six of his thugs lined up next to him. “Then I guess we are doing this the old fashioned way!” Briggs said causing the others to stop as well and fall in line. “Quann, Zach, Kody you guys ready?” Briggs said. And they all reached for there pokeballs. Pokémon on the line saw that they were outnumbered so they looked to their appointed leader Shane’s Charizard. Who nodded they were going to help them escape no matter what. ===================================================== “Gyrados! Go!” Zach yelled as a massive Gyrados roared to life “Kabutops you’re up!” Kody yelled “Let’s do this Bayleef.” Quann said earning a nod from the dino leaf Pokémon who jumped in front of him after shedding the jacket and saddle bags. “You’re in charge! Garchomp GO!” Briggs yelled making the pseudo legendary Pokémon emerge. “Ha! Is that the best you’ve got! Let’s show them.” Mason yelled pulling out a pokeball of his own. “Arcanine GO!” Mason yelled “Houndoom! Blaziken!, Blastoise!, Raichu!, Ivysaur!, Scyther Go!” the others yelled. Briggs and the others knew they were outnumbered but they had to battle. “Let’s do this! Bayleef Take down, Blastoise!” Quann yelled and she charged the turtle Pokémon. “Scyther Close combat! Intercept that Bayleef!” “Kabutops extreme speed! Stop that Scyther with close combat!” Kody yelled as his Pokémon disappeared in a burst of speed and started to cross blades with the grass type sparks could be seen and clangs would be heard as the two bladed Pokémon exchanged blows. “Bayleef! Leaf storm!” Quann yelled. “Houndoom! Flamethrower!, Blaziken! Fire punch!” two of the goons yelled “Gyrados Hydro pump!” Zach yelled the powerful jet of water hit the dog Pokémon broad side knocking it out of the fight. But it wasn’t able to fire another one in time to stop the Blaziken Fire punch which hit poor Bayleef right in the side knocking her back but not before she was able to get her attack off knocking the Blastoise out of the fight. “Are you alright Bayleef!?” Quann shouted over the snow concerned for his Pokémon. “B- bay- Bayleef.” She panted confidently wanting to impress her trainer only to have one of her hind legs give out. “No way Bayleef. You’re hurt you still need to walk after this.” Quann said after getting an understanding nod from her. Looking to his left he saw that both Zach and Kody were engaged in battles. Zach and Gyrados with the Blaziken, and Kody and Kabutops with Scyther. And when he turned to his mentor he saw that Briggs and his Garchomp were engaged with Mason and his Arcanine. It is at this moment that he had a thought as he saw the two thugs who used the Houndoom and Blastoise reaching for another pokeball. “Kabutops! Mud-shot!” “Gyro dose Dragon Pulse.” “Hay girl time to even the odds.” Quann said as he aimed his gauntlets at the two thugs. “WhiiiIIIIIIIIINE Boom!” the ‘solar beams’ blew the two thugs into a bloody mist. He then looked and saw that Kody was doing alright agenized the scyther and Raichu. But he saw that Zach was having trouble agenized the Blaziken and Ivysaur so he ran over next to Zach pokeball in hand. “Ivysaur! Magical leaf!” “What’s up Quann? Gyrados use Protect!” But it didn’t get up in time and Gyrados was fainted. So Zach recalled him. “Fuck!” they heard and saw Kabutops faint and be recalled as Kody made his way over to the two of them. “Ok guys let’s try the ice dragoness.” Zach suggested to Quann and Kody who nodded. “I’ve got the Ice if you’ve got the Dragoness.” Kody said taking out a pokeball. “What that hell are they doing?” the four thugs asked each other. They saw Quann and Zach take out pokeballs and throw them at the same time. “Latias! Mist Ball! Angel! Dragon Rage!” Both Zach and Quann shouted at the same time as the Shiny Latias twins flew out of there pokeballs and preformed there attacks. Then Kody threw up his pokeball. “Articuno! Ice Beam!” Kody’s Articuno flew from the ball and fired an ice beam freezing the mist ball and merging them both with angel’s dragon rage resulting in a huge explosion in between the four thugs Pokémon. Knocking them all out. And with out there Pokémon to defend them the trainers were easy targets for Quann, Kody, and Zach. Unfortunately the combo had tired there Pokémon out and when they turned to Briggs they saw that both his Garchomp and Metagross were down but Mason had only two Pokémon left. But the three of them knew they didn’t have anything that could even come close to those twos Pokémon. =========================================================== “Need some help Briggs?” Quann said getting beside his mentor ignoring the pleas of his two friends and his Pokémon who were convinced that he was going to make Eevee try. “I could use a hand ya.” Briggs said taking out another pokeball. “What I can’t let you have all the fun Briggs.” Quann said They all saw him reach into his jacket and take out a blue and orange pokeball that they had never seen before. And when they looked to Bayleef for a response all they got was the universal I didn’t even know. They both were about to use there last resort Pokémon. “Hahaha fine a double battle it is!” Mason yelled and threw out two pokeballs. “Registeel! Dragonite! Let’s Finish this!” Mason yelled releasing the two Pokémon who waited for their opponents and the others waited with bated breath as to who their friends Pokémon would be. “Lucario! You’re in Charge!” Briggs yelled as he threw his pokeball releasing his second strongest Pokémon. Letting out a loud cry as it was released. “Ok here we go. SWAMPERT! Lets Clean this up!” Quann yelled throwing his starter and best friend much to the shock of every one but Briggs who gave it to him as a Mudkip. “What no Lugia?” Quann asked his mentor. “Please with you here I have no reason to throw him out here.” Briggs said making Mason start laughing “Oh please you really think that you’re Lucario and a Swampert can stand up to my Registeel, and Dragonite? That’s a joke.” Mason laughed. “Swampert shut him up Hydro-Pump!” they all saw Swampert rear back and fire a powerful stream of water. “Dragonite dodge it!” Mason yelled which it complied but to every ones shock when the attack hit the ice it didn’t stop it was covered in a blue aura and curved upward to hit Dragonite anyway. “Nice job Lucario.” Quann said earning a group in response. “Registeel! Hyper Beam” the steel Pokémon charged and fires a massive blast at Briggs Lucario. “Lucario counter with Aura sphere.” Briggs yelled and Lucario fired a massive aura sphere at the incoming hyper beam “Dragonite hit Lucario with a Dragon rage!” “Swampert Protect!” Quann yelled every one saw Quann’s Swampert leap in front of the professors Lucario and raise a green shield taking the blast. If these four were such power houses they knew they were in for a long fight. ============================================================ Equestria Ponyville Season: winter Temperature: 30* F, -1* C We find a citron draconicus flying around franticly. You see ever since he brought some of these Pokémon as they were called to Equestria about a year and a half ago so that Fluttershy had more animal friends and the best part was that some were small some were big, they all came in different shapes and sizes. At first they seemed harmless enough but that was until they started having these weird powers that no animal should have. After the first 5 months they were able to tame some of them and that was when the battling began. And much to Discords amusement the land of Equestria had turned into a much smaller version of earth. Complete with Pokémon gyms and pokeballs, but how the pokeball thing came about he will never know. But he still needed help cataloging them all and returning some of them to Fluttershy, and Twilight. That is when he felt a very strong source of chaos coming from earth. So he opened a little window to earth to see what it was. And was surprised to see three humans and four Pokémon battling. But unknown to them or discord they weren’t the only ones watching the legendaries of earth were watching there champions battle. He saw a Dragonite that looked pretty worse for were preform a dragon rush at some weird Quadra pedal fish thing. “Swampert! Giga Impact!” ================================================= (I want to be the very best!) “Ok buddy let’s turn this up a notch.” Quann said “Swaamperrt!” “Get ready you two. They’re trying something!” mason shouted as everyone saw the orange parts on Swampert’s body start to glow. (Like no one ever was!) “Ok Lucario! Extreme speed and Brick Break!” Briggs yelled as the fighting steal type sprinted toward Mason’s Registeel. “Registeel Hammer Arm! Dragonite Dragon rage!” Mason yelled. They all saw Briggs’s Lucario’s and Masons Registeel’s attaches collide in a draw reducing them to continue pushing on each other trying to force their way through the others guard. But then Dragonite flew above Registeel rearing its head back to fire its dragon rage. (To catch them is my real test! To train them is my Cause!) “Now! Swampert Overheat!” Quann yelled causing the mudfish Pokémon to rear its head back and fire a massive torrent of flames witch collided with Dragonite’s dragon rage. (I will travel across the land. Searching far and wide!) “Lucario Protect!” Briggs yelled as the overheat hit the dragon rage knocking the other two back and melting some of the permafrost reducing it to a puddle of boiling water. “What the hell was that?” Mason yelled. “Swampert! Muddy water!” Quann ordered and the boiling puddle turned to an earthy soup and turned to a title wave that slammed into Dragonite and Registeel and covering them I water. Seeing that his student had this covered he recalled his Lucario and stood back with Zach and the others. (Each Pokémon to understand the power that’s inside!) “Registeel! Zap Cannon!” Masson yelled and when he turned to his Dragonite he saw it was out cold. “Swampert! Mud-Shot!” Quann yelled And the attacks collided and canceled each other out. (Every challenge along the way. I will face!) “Swampert! Dynamic punch!” “Registeel! Hammer Arm!” The two attacks collided with a powerful shockwave. Locking them in a power struggle. “Sswaaaammpeeerrt!” he yelled as he overpowered the legendary Pokémon and hit it right in the center eye. And making it stumble back. (I will battle every day. To claim my rightful place.) “Swampert! Almost there. Hydro Cannon!” Quann yelled. (Come with me the time is right! There’s no better team!) The mudfish unleashed the strongest attack in the water Pokémon arsenal. Try as Registeel might it was just too slow to dodge the attack. And when it hit the torrent of water drilled him straight into the permafrost. And submerged him in water. “Dammit! Get up” Masson yelled witch he Registeel struggled to one knee standing waist deep in water (Arm and arm, we'll win the fight. It's always been our dream!) “Swampert finish lets finish this. Thunder!” Quann yelled. “Swampeeeerrrrt!” his Pokémon yelled as it fired the powerful electric attack at Registeel. Electrocuting it and knocking it out. (Pokémon!) “Fuck you won’t get away with this Briggs. Or your student!” Mason yelled as more of his thugs appeared. “Swampert! Earthquake!” Quann yelled and Swampert slammed his arm into the ground creating a large crack in the ice between them. “Come on let’s get out of here!” Briggs yelled over the Blizzard and led them away from the colony. As the thugs threw out there Pokémon. But just as Quann turned around to battle the thugs Shane’s Charizard landed in between them followed by their deceased friends Pokémon. Charizard turned its head and nodded. Quann nodded understanding that they were going to hold them off. “Swampert. Ice beam.” Quann said “Swamp.” His Pokémon said before firing an ice beam at the ice creating a wall of ice between his friends and the riotous Pokémon. “Thanks Charizard.” “Let’s go Swampert.” Quann said “Swampert swamp.” His friend said before they ran to catch up with the others. As the blizzard got worse the four trainers returned there Pokémon. And Bayleef wrapped one of her vines around Quann’s waist to that they wouldn’t get separated. ============================================= “We used to live and die by the rules we made.” The professor and the three friends and two Pokémon continued walking. Quann having returned Eevee to her pokeball to keep her worm and Yanma being stuffed in his shirt with her head sticking out to keep her fragile wings from freezing. “But our rules like everything else we built are breaking down.” The six of them reached a crashed medevac helicopter and covered their tracks. They then slid the door open weapons at the ready. They would spend the night in the chopper it got down to -100*F or -73*C at night. “There is only one rule left now anyway.” They all bot ready for sleep they took stock of everything they had. “One rule above all.” They all started to fall asleep. Not knowing that when they woke up they would be fare away from this place and would never be coming back. “Survive.” New worldEquestria Ponyville Season: winter Temperature: 30* F, -1* C ===================================================================================== “Fluttershy these Pokémon are out of control.” Princess Twilight sparkle said. “Ya those things are running amuck!” (Pun city!!) Rainbow dash complained “Well what do you think I can do about it?” Fluttershy asked. “I don’t know but they need to be taken care of or put under some kind of control.” Twilight said sternly. “I mean those pokeball things that Discord came up with can only do so much and that is when you are able to catch them. But once you do you are pretty good.” Rainbow said. “Look girls I would but I just can’t. I’m to swamped I mean I can hardly handle the ones in my home. But maybe if I had some help.” The timid Pegasus said. “Well what if we were able to find somepony to help you?” Twilight said but she planned to go to the castle of the two sisters later that day so she would start tomorrow. “I suppose that would work. I do need help cataloguing them. And Discord is taking my place today because I have to go with rarity today to the” Fluttershy said. “Then it is settled we will start looking right away!” Rainbow Dash said enthusiastically. In reality she wouldn’t start looking until the next day because she planned on spending the rest of the day with apple jack proving who was the toughest And with that the two mares left their friends cottage to find somepony reliable enough to do the job. Sure there are already ponies who have seemed to tame the Pokémon, some have even started battling them and others have even set up special “Gyms” to test other trainers. ============================================================================= Location: unknown Season: unknown External temperature: 30* F, -1* C We find our heroes starting to wake up in the helicopter they went to sleep in but what adventures awaits them behind those doors? “Uugh my fucking head.” Zach said putting his hand to his head. “Ya I feel like I got hit by a truck.” Quann said before looking down and shaking awake Yanma, and Bayleef. “YAN YAN!” “BAY!” they both shouted waking up the other two sleeping trainers. “What the fuck? AAH WHAT THE FUCK!” Kody yelled before fumbling for his shotgun and aiming it this weird purple Rapidash thing to his right that was wearing Quann’s clothes and RIG somehow. This sparked a chain reaction resulting in the occupants of the helicopter all aiming their weapons at each other and a course of “Drop its”. Resulting in a Mexican standoff. “What the fuck is going on?” Briggs asked/ordered pulling the hammer back on his 500. Somehow that he had aimed at this green Ponyta’s head who was wearing Kody’s cloths And RIG. “I don’t know but who the fuck are you? where the fuck are we, and again drop it.” Zach said turning the safety off on his m16a4 pointing the crimson Rapidash. “Ok ok I have an idea.” The purple Rapidash in Quann’s clothes said aiming his Ak-47 at this weird red winged Ponyta wearing Zach’s clothes. “What is it freak?” the one red said not dropping his gun. “We drop our weapons on 3.” The purple one said “Ok then.” “Ok 1…2…3!” the purple one yelled at the end but no one lowered there weapons. “Well now you’re making me not be able to trust you.” The crimson one said. “BAY!” *crash* “What the Fuck! Did Bayleef just body slam him?” the crimson one said. As the three survivors watched the Bayleef nuzzle the purple Ponyta. “Wait. Bayleef only does that to one person! Quann what the fuck happened to you!?” Zach yelled. “Like your one to talk Look at you!” Quann yelled at Zach who had finally put his weapon down and actually bothered to look at himself. “What do you mean?” he asked. Looking at himself he saw that he was an all red Ponyta (minus the flames like the rest of them) but still had all of his cloths, he did have on his red hoodie, but he had no pants and gloves like the others. He looked behind himself and saw that he had some kind of image on both flanks the same image on both It was his tattoo that read ‘Honesty’ if you read it one way and ‘Integrity’ if you read it the other he quickly reached up to make sure his hat was still there witch it was. This figured out he looked at Quann who was currently just lying there with his Bayleef on top of him nuzzling him with her head. From what he could see Quann still had on his Jacket, grey Hoodie, and his hat which come how went around his horn. He also had on the grey gauntlet weapons from before. And he had his Swampert’s Pokeball as his cutie mark only it looked like it was left outside for about a day and was frosted over. After seeing Quann Zach looked to the one with the Shotgun who he assumed to be Kody who looked like a regular Ponyta but with no fire and green. Kody had on his Glasses, a dark blue hoodie and glasses and unlike Quann and himself you could actually see his mane it was brown and looked combed but not combed back just taken care of. And that left Briggs who was a large blood colored Rapidash who had a very short cut black mane. He had on a winter lab coat, one lens goggles on his forehead and grey stubble on his face making a mustache beard combo and the mark on his flank was a snow covered blue seven. “Ok I think it is time we figure a way out of here I mean I don’t hear snow blowing so we may be frozen in here we need to get out of here and find a new colony.” Briggs said but no one moved. “What?” he asked. “Um Briggs I don’t know how to walk on four legs.” Kody said. “Good point… any ideas?” he asked. “I have one.” Quann answered having gotten Bayleef off of him now she just kinda stood there. “What is it?” Zach asked “Well we could ask Bayleef to teach us how to walk?” Quann said as Yanma landed on his head and perched there. “Well that isn’t a bad Idea.” Zach said as Quann turned to Bayleef. “So what do you say girl will you teach us to walk Bayleef?” he asked. “Leef Bayleef.” She responded with a nod. “Then it is settled. Now time to get busy learning or get busy dying’.” Briggs said. “Bay bay!” “YAN!” ======================================================================================== After about 45 minutes of falling on their faces the four of them were pros at this whole four legged thing. Now the question was what about Zach’s wings he kept saying he should be able to fly because he is able to flap them and shit. “Ok let’s get out of here and I’ll get Articuno to teach you.” Kody said earning a nod from Zach. “Alright let’s get going.” Briggs said as he grasped the handle and gave it a tug. And pulled the door open. “I’ll take point.” Quann said before standing on his hind hooves like Bayleef had taught him to so that he could use his gauntlets. He jumped out of the door and aimed his gauntlets around the clearing. “Hay guys come see this I think we are in a forest?” he said bewildered. “What the hell?” Zach asked as he and the others walked out see in that his friend was indeed correct. They were surrounded by trees but there was still snow on the ground weird. “Hay guys look this isn’t permafrost.” Kody said “Is it me or is it not super fucking frigid out.” Zach said as he looked around. “Ok people let’s stay our focus.” Briggs said earning nods from the others. “Kody get Articuno out so it can teach Zach to fly but stay low. And Quann see if you can get an idea of where we are. Or if there is a colony around or a settlement around.” Briggs said receiving nods form the others. “Ok Articuno Come out!” Kody said throwing his pokeball in to the air releasing his Articuno. “Cuno!” The flying ice type screeched. “Hay I need you to teach Zach over there how to fly would ya.” Kody asked pointing to Zach with a hoof receiving a nod from his Pokémon. “Ok Yanma I need you to fly above the trees and tell me if you see anything. Can you do that?” Quann asked getting a nod the flying bug type took off into the air. Using this he took them to release Eevee from her pokeball and letting her climb onto his back and under his coat it was very shy after all. ===================================================================================== “YAN! YAN!” “Great Job! Yanma!” Quann exclaimed as his Bayleef continued to nuzzle him. “Alright people! Let’s move it out! Yanma lead the way.” Briggs ordered “Yan!” “Got it! Articuno return!” Kody yelled retuning his Pokémon to its pokeball. “Alright hay Kody thanks! I think I’ve got this flying thing down!” Zach yelled flying over to the others. “You heard the man. Let’s go.” Quann said as he asked Yanma to lead them out of the forest But they took it slow incase anything came out because if it did the four of them would drop them like a sack of shit. As they continued through the forest they could see what looked like a town of some kind. That they assumed to be another colony it was night time and they were getting no ware so they decided to stay the night. In the forest and go in the morning. ================================================================================== “I swear this is going right back where I found it just as soon as I return it to its former glory.” Rarity said stitching a banner she had damaged. “Now don’t go running off again! Oh I can’t believe I was so frightened guess I let my imagination get the best of me.” Flutter shy said nuzzling angel bunny. “I think we all did…” “I always let my imagination get away from me. Then is comes back with cake!” Pinkie pie said “Well it’s a good to know that whenever your imagination is getting away from you a good friend can help you reign it in.” Twilight said with a smile to her friends who had just happened to all meat here. And after some more pointless banter. “Hug I wander who is going to help us without Pokémon problem though?” spike said. “Good point spike whomever it is has to be experienced and so far no pony has quite getting the hang of it. Not that I have seen any way except Zacora but she is a gym leader and can’t leave.” ================================================================ When the Mane Six reentered the town they heard a commotion. When Twilight asked Allow and Lotus who were galloping but they said that some new stallions were arguing with Filthy Rich. When they got there they saw four stallions. The one arguing with money bags was a purple unicorn and had on a hooded sweater (hoodie) a winter jacket, hat, what appeared to be grey gauntlets like the princesses have. And his cutie mark was a snow covered blue and orange pokeball. (But what worried her was that it looked like his spine was showing which made her sick just thinking about it. But it seemed to glow a whitish color.) Cowering behind him was a small silver Eevee and on his head was actually she had never seen this Pokémon around Ponyville before neither had she seen the dinosaur looking Pokémon next to him that if not careful could be mistaken for a pony. Next to him was a green earth pony with a blue hoodie on and his cutie mark resembled that of a gust of wind with leaves in it (who also had a strange device on his back like the purple one but the segments on his resembled a vine with leaves. next to him was a red Pegasus with the a red hoodie and ‘DC? whatever that meant’ hat on and his cutie mark read honesty and integrity (And his Device was plane and consisted of ten cylinders traveling along his back like the others). The Crimson one was the last stallion and obviously the oldest and most experienced member of their little group and was possibly there leader had on a simple winter lab coat. But his cutie mark puzzled her it was a snow covered blue seven. (And his device had four triangles traveling along his spine back and this led her to believe that wherever these four came from these devices were normal and served some kind of purpose or maybe a status symbol.) But what got here attention was that they were all dressed for apparently much colder weather and all had what she assumed to be weapons of some kind and this worried her. “Look man your daughter is not getting my Eevee!” Quann yelled “And I keep saying how much do you want for it.” Money Bags repeated “Look if you want my Eevee you will have to take it from me.” Quann argued. “Very well then. We will battle for it.” Money Bags said with a smirk. “Fine then what will it be? One on one? Or double battle?” Quann asked. “Daddy Silverspoon and I want to battle him and the one with the glasses. So we can take his Eevee from him.” Diamond tiara said as silver spoon walked up next to her. “You’re on Brat.” Kody said stepping up next to Quann. “I will referee.” Briggs said. Stepping between them and to the side. And everypony present made a big circle around the four trainers about to battle. “Hay twilight maybe those four stallions could help Fluttershy I mean they already look like they know what they are doing and the battle hasn’t even started yet.” Rainbow said to her alicorn friend. “You may be right Rainbow dash.” she responded “This will be a standard double battle each trainer will use three Pokémon and will substitute after every round. The battle is for custody of Quann’s Shiny Eevee.” Briggs said and every one nodded. “Ready begin!” Briggs yelled as all four trainers the veteran and the two brats reached for there pokeballs. “Plusle! Minun! GO!” the two fillies yelled releasing there two electric types with every intention of making the two stallions look like complete fools. And unfortunately the rest of the town believed it. “Be warned we have the strongest local Pokémon Bits can buy.” They chuckled. “Alright. They are trying to take Quann’s baby Eevee. Beedrill GO!” Kody yelled releasing the poison bee Pokémon from its pokeball and everypony could see it was not happy with what it just heard. “Bzzzzzzzz!” “Alright Bayleef lets go.” Quann said gesturing his Pokémon to the field. Who with an angry “BAY!” shushed to the battle field. “Plusle! Minun! Thunder shock!” the two spoiled kids yelled. And the town’s ponies saw the two electric attacks strike the bug type and the grass type but strangely it didn’t seem to do much damage to the two older trainers Pokémon. “Hay kid let us show you how money can’t buy you power. Only training can do that and can your Pokémon be strong.” Kody yelled “Ya lets show them some real attacks.” Quann said with a smirk. “Beedrill Hyper Beam!” “Bayleef magical leaf!” Everypony was shocked to see the two powerful attacks hit the two little electric types and K.O in one hit that was unheard of. “Plusle and Minun are unable to battle this round goes to Beedrill, and Bayleef!” Briggs said holding up his left hoof toward his student and his friend who either recalled there Pokémon or called them out. “Pincer! Scyther! Go!” the fillies yelled throwing there pokeballs. “Looks like they’re getting serious. Ready!” Quann said as he took out his next pokeball. “Oh ya.” Kody said as he took out another pokeball. Every pony in the crowd was wandering what these two were going to use next! They couldn’t wait to see two real trainers battle. “Kabutops! Let’s move!” Kody yelled. As he threw out his prehistoric Pokémon making the other gasp they had never even heard of this Pokémon. And were shocked to see this ancient looking Pokémon emerge in a cloud of smoke. “Time for a Show! Latias you’re up!” Quann yelled as he threw his pokeball earning envious cries from the crowd as his white and gold shiny Latias appeared in a shower of light. “Kabutops Mud-Shot!” Kody yelled but this time silver spoon had time to retaliate. “Scyther um Dodge and use X-sensor!” she yelled and her scythe dodged and started making its way towards Kody’s Kabutops. “Kabutops Counter with Giga impact!” he yelled as Kabutops angled its blades sprinted full speed into Scyther. “Pincer! Brick break!” Diamond Tiara yelled wanting to end this quickly. “Let’s show them girl! Psychic followed by Dragon Rage!” Quann ordered receiving a “Latias in return” from the female eon dragon. The result was instantaneous Latias picked up the bug type and threw it into the others scythe and while they both were down with them with a dragon rage. Knocking them both unconscious and earning shocked gasps from the crowd as they had no idea that a Pokémon so cute could be so powerful and to make things worse was that after that she had tackled her trainer and started nuzzling him cooing until she was forced to get off when the elder unicorn made his announcement. So instead of returning her to her pokeball Quann just let her float there next to him. “Scyther and Pincer are unable to battle! Please send out your last Pokémon both teams!” Briggs yelled. “Alright this won’t be as easy as before.” “Kangaskhan! Tropius! GO!” they both yelled releasing the kangaroo Pokémon and fruit Pokémon. “Last chance to…”Quann started until he saw the Tropius leered lustfully at his Bayleef witch hid behind him and nuzzled his side with her head. “Never mind let’s do this Kody the Tropius is mine!” Quann yelled. “Uh oh. No man there just kids!” Zach yelled. Making everypony nervous. And every one was wandering what the purple unicorn was going to do. Until he reached into a pocket and pulled out the pokeball he has as his cutie mark. “Ready Kody?” “Ya man.” “Let’s make some ice and stay out of Quann’s way! Articuno GO!” Kody yelled and released the legendary ice bird much to the amazement of the ponies they had heard of them but had never seen one before but if even with suck a powerful Pokémon he wanted to stay out of his partner’s way what kind of Pokémon must Quann have. ================================================================================== It was decided after the first round that twilight would pick these four to help Fluttershy but first she had to tell the princesses that suck powerful trainers even existed and meat with the four of them. But like the other ponies she and her friends wondered what kind of power house this purple stallion would throughout. “Hay girls what do you think It will be?” Pinkie asked “Ah don’t know pinkie but look at that there pokeball it is the same one as the one as his cutie mark.” Applejack said. “Well either way we need to talk to them in after this. So I will invite them to the library after this.” Twilight said. “Shh here we go.” Discord said eating popcorn. ============================================================================= “SWAMPERT! You’re in charge!” Quann said mimicking his mentor. He then threw the blue and orange pokeball into the air releasing his strongest Pokémon. “Sswaaammpeeerrrrrt.” Quann’s Pokémon grunted out and let it sit there as they waited for Briggs to give the ok. “And Final round Begin!” Briggs yelled. “Tropius!” “Swampert! Hydro Cannon!” Quann yelled before the brat could order her Tropius to do anything. And as that ass beating continues lest check on Kody and Articuno. “Articuno. Blizzard and ice beam!” the effect was instantaneous knocking the kangaroo Pokémon out of the fight. “Swampert! Time to finish this! Let’s turn up the heat!” Quann shouted and everypony saw the large mud-fish the ground around the Pokémon crack and saw the orange pits of his body turn red. “Tropius! He is a water type! Use solar beam!” silver spoon yelled getting a nod in response and proceeded to charge and fire a decently sized solar beam at the mud-fish. “Eruption.” Was all Quann said completely calm and cold despite how calmly he said it could behead offer the sound of the battle. They saw the cracks around Swampert turn to fishers as fire shot straight towards silver spoons Tropius completely ignoring the solar beam and hitting it knocking it out. “Nice job Swampert!” Quann yelled before running and jumping onto the back of his best friends head. “Swampert.” his Pokémon said with a smile as he walked over and picked up Eevee and put her on his head to next to their trainer. “Hay kids.” They turned around assuming he was going to make fun of them so there father prepared to say something. “You both aren’t that bad. Just drop the attitude and the high and mighty act and start training your Pokémon and you’ll be great trainers someday.” Quann said from his Swampert’s head who nodded agreeing with his trainer. “Swam. Pert!” as nice as it was for the kids to hear his Pokémon’s agreement the guttural and deep way it said its name was kind of unnerving. “Thanks mister. We promise that one day we will be as strong as you!” they both said and ran off. “You’ve got some good kids sir.” Kody said to money Bags who thanked him. “Thank you I think they will be different from now on.” he said before walking off. “Yan!” the dragon fly like Pokémon chimed in as it flew over and perched itself on Quann’s head. “Quann do you really think Swampert was necessary in that battle?” Zach asked “Yes yes I do.” Quann said. “Ssswwamp.” “Yan. Yan.” “Bayleef bay!” “Latias.” “Um excuse me gentlecolts?” They heard a voice having noticed the crowd had dispersed they looked to see what looked like a purple winged unicorn. . . . To Be Continued. Hunker Down for the night?“Everything lives in the shadow of something.” Quann Dunn, December 20, 2013 =================================================================== Assumed colony designation: ponyville (golden oaks library) Colony Number: unknown Colony population: unknown External temperature 30*F, -1*C ================================================================= “Fuck!” “Fuck!” “Why can’t I get this!” Quann yelled a “What are you trying to do?” twilight asked as she looked over to the purple stallion who was trying to use his hooves to get his hat off of his head but failing at it. “Why don’t you just use your magic?” “His what?” Briggs asked. “You know magic. Duh I mean you both are unicorns how don’t you know what magic is?” twilight asked One long explanation later. “So it is like the telepathy that the psychic types use.” Kody asked. “Well not exa….” Rarity started “Latias!” Quann yelled as he threw out her pokeball. “Lati!” she squealed as she tackled him to the floor of the library. “hay there girl good to see you too.” Quann said with a smile as he played on his back trying to avoid stabbing Latias with his horn. “what is it doing to him?” Rainbow dash asked as she and her friends stared at the scene in front of them, then the girls looked over to see the other stallions were just standing around talking like nothing ever happened. “Hay what…” Twilight started. “Oh her? Don’t wory about it she and Bayleef both have a crush on him.” Zach said nonchalantly as Yanma flew over and landed on his head caring eevee with her legs and tail. The six mares then looked over to see the grass type fuming with her cheeks puffed out. “Well…” Crash! “leef leef bayleef! Bay bay bayleef!!” “la la lati latias!” “Whoa calm down you two.” Quann said trying to be the voice of reason. Only to recessive a vicious glare from the two female pokemon making him shrink back in fear. “ok never mind.” He said as he stood up “hay zach haven’t we been here before?” quann asked “Ya.” The older stallion said. *Cough. Cough* “sorry.” Rainbow dash said *click, click, click, click, whiiiiine* “Hay what in tarnation is goin on!?” Apple jack yelled when the four stallions aimed there weapons at her friend and had there muzzles covered by there winter coats or by a very thick surgical mask thing. “What the hell is wrong with her!” Briggs yelled to twilight scaring the mares. “Nothing! She just has a cold.” Twilight yelled. “No one is dien on my watch.” Briggs said as he cocked the hammer back on his 500. magnum “WHAT! Why isn’t she in quarantine!?” Zach yelled back “Why would she be its just a cold?” Rarity asked “bull shit there is no such thing as just… a cold.” Kody said. “we gave her medicine.” twilight answered “What the fuck are you talking about what medicine?” Quann asked “You know to get rid of the cold duh *cough*.” Raingow dash said. “Hi Twilight did you see there are four new stalions in town a…!” A pink blur said as it crashed through the door. “Who the Fuck are you?” Zach said as both he and quann shifted their weapons from Rainbow dash to the new arrival. “Make a move. I dare you.” Quann said to the new arrival “Do you know who we are?” Twilight asked. “Do you know I don’t give a shit.” Quann said with a smirk and a chuckle. “Quanns right I really don’t care.” Zach said “WAIT!” they all turned to see Briggs was lowering his weapon. “she had medicine that will cure her cold?” he asked. “Ya. Of course she did.” Twilight said Matter-of-factly. “alright people stand down.” Briggs said resulting in surprised gasps when the other three stallions lowered their weapons. “What kind of colony is this any way?” Kody asked the others. “I don’t know. maby some kind of medical colony?” Zach said “It cant be colony’s 2 and 9 were overrun by dark ones.” Quann said putting an armored hoof to his chin. The mares were wondering what these dark ones were, and twilight especially she had never read of any thing called a dark one. “Hay what colony is this?” Kody asked twilight who just gave him a quizzical look. “ponyville.” “No He means what is this colony’s number?” Briggs said “It doesn’t have a number.” Rarity said. “Bull shit every colony has a number.” Quann responded. “Well ponyville isn’t a colony!” Rainbow dash said “So your raiders?” Briggs said reaching for his 500 magnum “Hay Wait.” “Ya?” “What in tarnation were ya’ll goanna do if we didn’t give her medicine?” Applejack asked changing the subject. “Well in colony seven we give you a choice.” Briggs said as he took a seat on a cushion followed by the other stallions. “What kind a choice?” Apple Jack asked. “Easy. She either takes a walk in the snow, or… she takes a bullet.” Quann said as he took the magazine out of his gun and cleared the chamber. With his bayleef and Latias now calmed down and looking a little worried about how nonchalantly he said it. “That’s so… So.” “Hay you purple winged rapidash.” Briggs said “Im a pony and what?” Twilight asked. “I want to talk to this colonies leader.” He orderd. “That would be me.” Twilight said. “Whats your name?” “I am princess Twilight Sparkle Co ruler of equestria the Country you are In now.” She said as if he should already know this. “Well then Princess. What is this colonies number and registration code?” Briggs asked. “Its what?” “You heard me. Number and Registration code.” “Ponyville! And its not a Colony” she yelled back. “Hello everypony having fun with the new arrivals?” a new voice said resulting in everyone present turning to see. “Discord I knew you had something to do with this.” Twilight said “Twilight im honored that you thought of me.” He said “Why are they here? Where did they come from?” “We are Just trying to survive. And we were from Colony seven.” Quann said “Wait I don’t get it. I’ve never heard or read about this colony seven.” She said as the atmosphere in the library began to become more calm much to everypony relief. “I don’t know how we used to be one of the most populated colonies on earth.” Kody said “Wait where? Earth?” “Earth. You know the planet we live on.” “We live on Equis?” Twilight said “Okay. Im sorry.” Zach said sarcastically but the mares were not used to ex-human sarcasm so they believed him. “No they are serious Twilight. I Brought them here to help Fluttershy with the pokemon problem.” Discord said earning a irritated glare from the other ponies. “But any way what is colony sevens population?” she asked as she and the other mares and dragon sat down and levitated over a quill and parchment. “Well if I remember right? It was about 400 people when we arrived wasn’t it?”Quann asked. “Ya I think about that many.” Zach said. “wait you said used to have. How many does it have now?” “seventy.” Kody said “That’s it? just seventy ponies in a whole town?” Rarity asked as zach “What in tarnation happened to all them ponies?” “They caught a cold.” Zach said shooting a glare to Rainbow dash. “Well…” “wait, is what discourd said really true? Are you really from another planet?” Twilight said “Well Ya… I guess? I mean if you can really call a frozen shit hole a planet.” Quann said before getting up and looking out of a window seeing that the sun had just gone down. So he went over and told Briggs. “Well guys it looks like we stay here for tonight. and move out in the morning.” Briggs said “What can you tell us about your world?” Twilight asked. “Well What do you want to know?” “What is that dreadful device on your backs?” Rarity asked “What this?” Quann asked gesturing to his RIG earning a nod from the mares. “It is our Resource Integration Gear or RIG for short.” He responded “What does it do? it looks really cool.” Rainbow dash said “it monitors and displays our vitals, and allows us to communicate with each other however both mine and Zachs are heavily armored for so that they don’t get damaged.” “Why would they get damaged?” “Well both Zach and I are surface team.” Quann said “what is the difference then?” Rarity asked “Meaning while most of the colony stays inside and under the ice. So there Rigs would have no reason to be armored.” “I still don’t get it and which one of y’all is this zach fela?” Applejack asked “Oh how silly of me we were never introduced.” Twilight said. “your right. we’ll let get get that out of the way. You guys first we you already introduced yourself twilight so you don’t have to.” Quann responded. “Ok then I am Applejacki run the Applefamily farm with my brother and little sister.” The one in the western style had said “I am Pinkiepie Party pony extraordinaire!” the pink one said “I’m Rainbowdash Fastest flyer in equestira.” The rainbow maind one boasted before sneezing at the end of her sentence. “I am Rarity I run the carasoul butieq.” The fashniesta pony said “And the yellow one?” Briggs asked “Im fluttershy.” She said “What?” “Im Fluttershy.” She repeated “Oh ok.” “Well know that we know your names I guess it is our turn.” Kody said. “Well i guess ill start. And I guess we will explain our RIG’s also.” He continued “Quann calls me Briggs but I am Doctor Red Wood. Genetic scientist and Ex leader of colony seven. Used to work for Team Rocket before I Quit and took my crowning achievement with me and gave it to Quann here before the snow fell. My rig is the standard civilian Issue with minor armor the brawns color represents the leader ship element of my position.” Briggs said before gesturing to Kody to continue. “I am Kody Colony sevens hydroponic scientist. I have a modified version of the civilian RIG because my job requires that I have no reason to go to the surface so I have minimal armor. My rig is this Wooden color because I am in charge of trying to find a way to make plants grow in the tundra.” Kody explained “’*Sigh* I am Zach I am Colony seven Recon and security. My rig is the Standard issue security Rig so my rig is heavily armored do the risk of patrol in the tundra. My RIG’s color represents the Rank of sergeant. That is about it Quann your up.” He said “Well then. I am Quann Colony seven’s field scientist and engineer. It was important that I be protected because I was one of the only engineers in the colony so if on patrol It was my job to fix the shit that broke or we found that was broken. I was also the apprentice of Briggs over there. On top of that I was a bit of an inventor. I wear a modified version of the heavy armor Security RIG the grey armor represents my status as an engineer.” Quann said. “Well are there more of you?” twilight asked “There were.” Zach said “What does that mean?” “I mean we lost our friends.” “Well that’s just silly how does somepony loose a friend?” Pinkie asked Bounceing. “Well I think we should just to tell you. You might want to get comfortable.” quann startedAs he turned on his flashlight and opened his blanket and got on it with his latias and bayleef beside him Yanma sleeping on his head. Kody was resting agenized a wall covered in a blanket with his shotgun leaning on his shoulder, Zach was sitting on the floor cleaning his riffle, and Briggs was just sitting there looking put of the window watching the snow fall as he levitated a cut to him with a bronze aura. And the girls, Spike and Discord were looking at him intently waiting for him to start. “Hay wait, why am I the one doing this?” Quann asked as he tried to stand up only to have latias pull him back down with her claw. “Well dude you were always better at telling these kind of stories.” Zach said resulting in the purple stallion glaring at him. And he just laughed when his bayleef just nuzzled him like she always did. “Wait you keep mentioning this toundra? Can you please explain.” Twilight asked “Alright. Well you see the world froze along time ago…” quann said before looking down solemnly. “So long ago that I don’t remember the warmth of the sun.” “I heard the stories growing up. How the world grew hotter as our fuel was burned. How The pokemon tried to warn us but we ignored them.” He continued as he stood up and walked to a window and stared out into the falling snow. “How we built towers to work the weather… When the food ran out the lucky ones founded places like this.” He said gestureing to ponyville “A place where they could exist beneath the ice.” He walked back and sat down with his pokemon in front of the mares. Who were hanging on every word. “The truth is… one day... it started to snow. And it never stopped.” Quann started before he activated the logs of what he called the dark days. Earth Year: assumed five years ago Region: Kanto External Temperature: -50 F, -45 C …To be continued
Colony sevenEarth Year: unknown Region: Kanto Colony: seven Colony population: 70 External Temperature: -50 F, -45 C ======================================================================= “Bay! Bayleef!” “Ya I know girl it’s fucking frigid out here. But we have to get this antenna repaired.” A Colored man said wearing a heavy fur lined black winter jacket with a purple hoodie, under it a black flat brim fitted hat with a purple fleur de lis in the middle, Boots, thick winter gloves, goggles, lined thick Cargo pants, and a scarf covering his neck. But if you looked behind him you would see that sticking out from the man’s back about four or five inches was what looked like an armored hump. But in running down the middle of the hump was a holographic display which featured ten segmented but detailed images of human spinal cord vertebra creating the spike like bones that protect the delicate nerves protruding from the hump the hologram on his back was known around the colony as resource integration gear Or a RIG that actually ran along the users spine and linked to and monitored the users nervous Tom. They were actually quite useful for monitoring one’s health and body temp because they would project them a two dimensional image for the user and other allies to monitored and as the user was injured the number of bares on the rig would decrease depending on the type of injury. But his was a custom design as one of the only field scientists and was a commodity the colony didn’t like risking him so his RIG was armored like the ones used by the colony’s surface teams the funny thing about his rig though was that if you didn’t know one could easily confuse his rig for some kind of gruesome and fatal injury. The man stood up from his job with his Bayleef nuzzling his side to stay worm. The man looked up into the snow. “Hay! Latias! How’s it going up there?” He shouted hearing four bangs on the antenna letting him know that she had heard him and it was ok. “How’s our baby Eevee doing up there with you!?” he asked and upon receiving another four bangs he decided to get back to work knowing they were ok up there. “Got it just hold it for a little longer!” He yelled. Kneeling back down he lowered his goggles grabbed his welding torch continued working with his Bayleef snuggling closer for the warmth of the 6,000 *C Flame. He continued working until he heard a set of footsteps coming from behind him. “Hay man I brought you some more welding rods.” The voice said from behind him. “Thanks Zach. You’re a life saver.” The man said holding a hand out until he received a rod. “Almost. Done!” he said finishing up and Jumped up. Waking his sleeping Bayleef by accident and making her fall on her side into a snow bank. “Squirt. Squirtle. Squirtle!” Zach’s little companion laughed only to receive a two snow balls to the face courtesy of Bayleef. “Hay Quann where’s your Latias and Eevee?” Zach asked. “Up there. Hay I’m done you can come on down!” He yelled receiving two bangs in return. Turning around Quann saw he friend Zach who had his usual facial stubble forming a beard. He was wearing a thick winter jacket with a hood attached, he also had on a red hoodie and tee-shirt under that, he also had on blue winter pants, and black boots, with Mamoswine fur mittens. And his signature fitted flat brim DC hat. Zach’s rig was a more armored version of the standard Colony seven Security RIG set it stuck out about five or six inches and had the same amount of segments as his friend Quann. And the segments themselves were nothing special just ten cyan cylinders going along his spine. The rig armor itself was more of a reddish color. Whereas Quann’s was a darker blue and the segments themselves being a whitish purple. “Hay Zach…” before he could finish he was tackled by a white and gold blur. Leaving Zach with the job of catching the silver Eevee witch he did relatively easily. “Hay Latias get off!” Quann shouted as struggling to get from under his shiny Latias. She continued to nuzzle him until she was hit with a take down by Bayleef knocking her off of him. “Bay. Bayleef! Leef-bay!” “La lati- tias!” The two Pokémon continued to argue with each other with Eevee looking back in fourth. But before they could continue one of Zach’s poke-balls opened and another shiny Latias came out and scolded the other. “Looks like angel decided to take the high road this time.” Quann said taking Eevee into his hands from Zach. “Ya…” Zach started. But as he was about to continue the entry hatch swung open and three men walked out. Well it would be more correct to say two men walked out and one fell out coughing. Two of them were hearing Mamoswine mouth covers while the other wasn’t. “Get up.” The one with a shotgun in his hands said. “Give me another day. Just one more day.” Said the older sick man who had to be in his mid to late fifties who was wearing a winter clothes and a regular unarmored civilian rig. Witch only consisted of four segments and resembled four triangle shapes going down the user’s spine in a line staged line. This particular man’s rig was at the last bar and was blinking red. “One more day isn’t going to make any difference.” The leader said pushing him back down. The leader was also wearing a civilian rig but it had a little bit of brass armor. “Please! Give me some more meds.” The sick man said crawling backwards. “You had your meds Hal. You’re getting worse.” “Put me back in quarantine.” Hal said. “Come on guys return.” Quann said returning his Pokémon to their pokeballs. All except for his Bayleef who hated them. “Just till tomorrow. I’ll get better! *Cough*” Hal said “You’re not going to get better Hal.” The gunman said loading the shotgun. “I’ll take the walk. It’s my choice.” Hal said holding his hand out pleading. “Not today.” The gunman said pumping the shotgun. “You can’t do this. It’s my choice! *cough*” “It’s my job. Make your peace Hal.” “Mason!” Quann yelled running over with Zach and Bayleef behind him. “He tested positive Quann!” Mason said turning to him and his friends. As Hal coughed in the background. “He has a choice! Let him walk!” “He’ll just come back. They all ways do. We can’t let him infect the rest of the colony.” Mason said aiming the shot gun at Hal only for him to have his elbow pulled away by Quann. “Mason!” Quann said earning a glare from Mason. “This isn’t right.” Quann pleaded. “Bay Bay!” “Ya man back off.” Zach and Bayleef said. “This is survival!” Mason said before mushing the twenty year old to the ground. And taking aim at Hal and shooting him in the back as he tried to run. And as his rig dropped to black it made a flat line sound for about three seconds. “Nothing personal.” He said before turning back and walking into the Colony. “His time was up that’s all Quann.” The other a blue hared man said. “It wasn’t your fault James.” Before he turned and walked back inside followed by Zach and Bayleef into the colony. =============================================== “In This place we live in fear of the common cold.” Quann, Bayleef and Zach walked through the colony looking for the last member of their group of friends. “The last flu wiped out twenty people in less than a week.” After talking to some other survivors and letting Eevee out of her pokeball and onto his shoulder. Quann and Zach continue onward in their search. “So now we’ve got rules. You get sick, you go into quarantine.” After some more searching the group finally finds Kody in the bio dome with is Beedrill. Kody is what you would call the strong silent type most of the time. His Rig was an armored version of the civilian rig resembles his rig’s armor was brown like wood and the hologram itself resembled a twisting vine with the lives of the vine acting as the bars. “If you don’t get better. You’ve got a choice.” The four of them walked around for a bit before going to get some food from the mess hall. “A bullet, Or a long walk in the snow.” The four of them continued to eat with Bayleef continually nuzzling her trainer. Until he got an audio message from the doctor telling him that had to go talk to his mentor and leader of this ragtag group of survivors. Briggs but to anyone but him Doctor Redwood. “At least that’s how it’s supposed to work.” ======================================================= “Briggs.” Quann said following after he mentor. Who was a middle aged black man who he swore looked like Laurence Fishburn. He was dressed in a thick brown fur collared black winter coat. He also wore a crimson jacket, with black winter pants, and unlike Kody, Briggs wore a pretty decently armored bronze rig that stuck out about an inch or two and the display was that of the civilian rig. “What’s up Quann?” The large black doctor asked as he kept walking. “I need to talk to you.” “Look don’t start. Hal knew the rules. His blood test was positive and he wasn’t getting any better.” Briggs said pausing to let another survivor pas. “We don’t have the meds to keep fighting this flue any more. And we can’t risk another outbreak.” He continued. “Why do we leave it to one guy who loves to pull the trigger?” Quann asked following his mentor up a short flight of stairs. “Look this Colony started with over 400 people. And I have done too much surface time with a shotgun in one hand and a shovel in the other… I’ve had my fill of blood in the snow. You understand? Now mason is doing just what has to be done.” “Ya but he’s not doing it right. He didn’t give him a choice….. Hal wanted to walk not take a bullet.” Quann said sadly and “Well right now we have a bigger issue. Come with me. Get your friends.” ============================= “Alright people listen up!” Briggs said to Quann and his friends. “What is it Professor?” Kody asked. “Well white boy. I have heard through the grape vine that Mason is planning a coup to over throw me.” Briggs said “Isn’t that some shit.” Zach said “Ya they are planning on moving on me today so we have to leave now before we get cornered.” Briggs said. “What? Leave!” Kody argued. “Ya Kody it is our best bet to get away before Mason starts cracking down.” Quann said earning nods from the others. “Ok let’s split up. Zach you’re with me. We are going to the armory to get some weapons and ammo and blow the rest. Kody you go with Quann and help him get his projects they just might come in handy. We meet at the entrance in 45 minutes.” Briggs said earning nods from them all “Let’s get it done. Come on Bayleef.” Quann said running down a corridor with Kody close behind him. “Bay Bay!” she said before following her trainer. “You to kid lets go.” Briggs said to the twenty-two year old Zach. As they both ran down the corridor to the armory. =========================================================== “Ok Kody the gauntlets should be in that chest over there here’s the key.” Quann said throwing Kody a key. Bayleef was getting the other things like a fist sized glowing cylinder label solar reactor. “Come on buddy where are you?” Quann said Franticly searching for his very first and most powerful Pokémon’s poke-ball. This was given to him by professor red wood when he started his Pokémon journey and he had trained this Pokémon all his life in secret so he always has a trump card. After flipping over a bag he found it a blue and orange pokeball, smiling because no one had ever seen this Pokémon not even his other Pokémon this was his only male Pokémon. It was the crowning achievement in Professor Red woods days working in team rocket as a breeder and a geneticist, Before he left to become a professor but despite his leaving team rocket some of the other professors still didn’t like him very much asking that his research went agenized Pokémon evolution. “Hay Bayleef Come here.” Quann said getting a “Bay” in response and when she came over he put some weird looking coat on her It looked like a jacket making her tilt her head in confusion. “I don’t know how long we’ll be walking so best to keep you warm.” Quann said getting a nod from her. And began packing supplies into her saddle bags. And his research and tools and some work in progress into his back pack, and more supplies into Kody’s back pack. “Status Report?” Briggs asked Quann as a holographic live image of his face appeared about three feet in front of Quann on a two dimensional screen that was being projected by his rig if you looked you could see Zach running around in the back ground planting C4 charges. “Almost done Briggs just have to get a few more things.” Quann responded. “Understood Briggs out.” He said as the image turned to static and the display diapered. “Found them!” Kody yelled holding two grey mettle gauntlets that came up to about your elbow with a glowing white circle in each palm. “Here trade me!” Quann said before throwing Kody his bag and Kody threw him the gauntlets witch he put on. After hearing the satisfying whine of the gauntlets activating he nodded to Kody and they ran to the entrance of the colony. But not before Quann primed the c4 charges in his lab. And whistling calling a Yanma to come flying out of the corner and perch itself on his right shoulder. This Yanma she had given it to him at the start of his Pokémon journey before she died and had been with him since the beginning because of this it was his second strongest Pokémon. But like his Eevee he didn’t keep it in his rotation. It was more like a traveling companion or a pet. “Yan! Yan!” Yanma greeted happily “Ee Eevee.” “* pant pant* Hay Quann?” Kody asked. “Ya man?” Quann responded as they continued to run to the entrance. “I wish the others were still here.” Kody said as they rounded a corner. “Ya I wish Regan, Shane, Chris, and David were here. We could really use there help right about now.” Quann said Remembering back when they were around they were all strong people in their own right but the seven of them were unstoppable. ======================================= Rounding a corner the quartet met up with Zach and Briggs at the entrance just as the Colony alarm sounded. Zach had an m16A4 from back in the day, and Briggs had a 500 Mag. “About time you three got here. Quann, Kody here.” Briggs yelled tossing Kody some kind of pump shotgun, and Quann an Ak-47. Which he slung over his shoulder. Just as the Bayleef, Quann, and Kody were there they heard the sounds of approaching footsteps and an explosion. And quickly Quann pressed a button on his left gauntlet detonating the charges in his lab. “Come on we can’t let them escape!” they heard. And they quickly tried to open the door only for them to find out that it was locked. “We can’t get it open! Professor.” Zach yelled. “I’ll get it! You might want to back up!” Quann said making them back up wandering what he was going to do. Quickly he aimed both of his gauntlets at the door and much to the shock of the others after they heard a raising whine they saw what resembled a solar beam shoot out blowing up the door. Making the others just stare at him and wonder why he even made them. “Let’s go.” Briggs said snapping every one out of it except Bayleef who was staring at Quann starry eyed. “Come on girl!” Quann yelled over the siren snapping her out of it and they followed the others. ========================================== The Pokémon working the perimeter were startled when they heard an explosion coming from the colony entrance followed by shouting. Regan’s Milotic like the other Pokémon without trainers who were put on the perimeter guard turned around turned around. But what they saw shocked them they saw they saw Professor Red Wood and there late trainers friends running out of the Colony followed by mason and his followers. But what shocked them was when who they assumed to be Quann judging by the fact that he had a Bayleef running beside him and an Eevee stuffed in his shirt. They saw him slide to a stop turn around and aim his arm at one of their pursuers and fire ‘solar beam’ at them, the attack blew one of Masons men to bits. “You and those brats aren’t going any were Briggs!” Mason shouted. “We are leaving Mason you are a tyrant we are leaving this dead colony!” Zach yelled “You’re now going any ware!” mason yelled as six of his thugs lined up next to him. “Then I guess we are doing this the old fashioned way!” Briggs said causing the others to stop as well and fall in line. “Quann, Zach, Kody you guys ready?” Briggs said. And they all reached for there pokeballs. Pokémon on the line saw that they were outnumbered so they looked to their appointed leader Shane’s Charizard. Who nodded they were going to help them escape no matter what. ===================================================== “Gyrados! Go!” Zach yelled as a massive Gyrados roared to life “Kabutops you’re up!” Kody yelled “Let’s do this Bayleef.” Quann said earning a nod from the dino leaf Pokémon who jumped in front of him after shedding the jacket and saddle bags. “You’re in charge! Garchomp GO!” Briggs yelled making the pseudo legendary Pokémon emerge. “Ha! Is that the best you’ve got! Let’s show them.” Mason yelled pulling out a pokeball of his own. “Arcanine GO!” Mason yelled “Houndoom! Blaziken!, Blastoise!, Raichu!, Ivysaur!, Scyther Go!” the others yelled. Briggs and the others knew they were outnumbered but they had to battle. “Let’s do this! Bayleef Take down, Blastoise!” Quann yelled and she charged the turtle Pokémon. “Scyther Close combat! Intercept that Bayleef!” “Kabutops extreme speed! Stop that Scyther with close combat!” Kody yelled as his Pokémon disappeared in a burst of speed and started to cross blades with the grass type sparks could be seen and clangs would be heard as the two bladed Pokémon exchanged blows. “Bayleef! Leaf storm!” Quann yelled. “Houndoom! Flamethrower!, Blaziken! Fire punch!” two of the goons yelled “Gyrados Hydro pump!” Zach yelled the powerful jet of water hit the dog Pokémon broad side knocking it out of the fight. But it wasn’t able to fire another one in time to stop the Blaziken Fire punch which hit poor Bayleef right in the side knocking her back but not before she was able to get her attack off knocking the Blastoise out of the fight. “Are you alright Bayleef!?” Quann shouted over the snow concerned for his Pokémon. “B- bay- Bayleef.” She panted confidently wanting to impress her trainer only to have one of her hind legs give out. “No way Bayleef. You’re hurt you still need to walk after this.” Quann said after getting an understanding nod from her. Looking to his left he saw that both Zach and Kody were engaged in battles. Zach and Gyrados with the Blaziken, and Kody and Kabutops with Scyther. And when he turned to his mentor he saw that Briggs and his Garchomp were engaged with Mason and his Arcanine. It is at this moment that he had a thought as he saw the two thugs who used the Houndoom and Blastoise reaching for another pokeball. “Kabutops! Mud-shot!” “Gyro dose Dragon Pulse.” “Hay girl time to even the odds.” Quann said as he aimed his gauntlets at the two thugs. “WhiiiIIIIIIIIINE Boom!” the ‘solar beams’ blew the two thugs into a bloody mist. He then looked and saw that Kody was doing alright agenized the scyther and Raichu. But he saw that Zach was having trouble agenized the Blaziken and Ivysaur so he ran over next to Zach pokeball in hand. “Ivysaur! Magical leaf!” “What’s up Quann? Gyrados use Protect!” But it didn’t get up in time and Gyrados was fainted. So Zach recalled him. “Fuck!” they heard and saw Kabutops faint and be recalled as Kody made his way over to the two of them. “Ok guys let’s try the ice dragoness.” Zach suggested to Quann and Kody who nodded. “I’ve got the Ice if you’ve got the Dragoness.” Kody said taking out a pokeball. “What that hell are they doing?” the four thugs asked each other. They saw Quann and Zach take out pokeballs and throw them at the same time. “Latias! Mist Ball! Angel! Dragon Rage!” Both Zach and Quann shouted at the same time as the Shiny Latias twins flew out of there pokeballs and preformed there attacks. Then Kody threw up his pokeball. “Articuno! Ice Beam!” Kody’s Articuno flew from the ball and fired an ice beam freezing the mist ball and merging them both with angel’s dragon rage resulting in a huge explosion in between the four thugs Pokémon. Knocking them all out. And with out there Pokémon to defend them the trainers were easy targets for Quann, Kody, and Zach. Unfortunately the combo had tired there Pokémon out and when they turned to Briggs they saw that both his Garchomp and Metagross were down but Mason had only two Pokémon left. But the three of them knew they didn’t have anything that could even come close to those twos Pokémon. =========================================================== “Need some help Briggs?” Quann said getting beside his mentor ignoring the pleas of his two friends and his Pokémon who were convinced that he was going to make Eevee try. “I could use a hand ya.” Briggs said taking out another pokeball. “What I can’t let you have all the fun Briggs.” Quann said They all saw him reach into his jacket and take out a blue and orange pokeball that they had never seen before. And when they looked to Bayleef for a response all they got was the universal I didn’t even know. They both were about to use there last resort Pokémon. “Hahaha fine a double battle it is!” Mason yelled and threw out two pokeballs. “Registeel! Dragonite! Let’s Finish this!” Mason yelled releasing the two Pokémon who waited for their opponents and the others waited with bated breath as to who their friends Pokémon would be. “Lucario! You’re in Charge!” Briggs yelled as he threw his pokeball releasing his second strongest Pokémon. Letting out a loud cry as it was released. “Ok here we go. SWAMPERT! Lets Clean this up!” Quann yelled throwing his starter and best friend much to the shock of every one but Briggs who gave it to him as a Mudkip. “What no Lugia?” Quann asked his mentor. “Please with you here I have no reason to throw him out here.” Briggs said making Mason start laughing “Oh please you really think that you’re Lucario and a Swampert can stand up to my Registeel, and Dragonite? That’s a joke.” Mason laughed. “Swampert shut him up Hydro-Pump!” they all saw Swampert rear back and fire a powerful stream of water. “Dragonite dodge it!” Mason yelled which it complied but to every ones shock when the attack hit the ice it didn’t stop it was covered in a blue aura and curved upward to hit Dragonite anyway. “Nice job Lucario.” Quann said earning a group in response. “Registeel! Hyper Beam” the steel Pokémon charged and fires a massive blast at Briggs Lucario. “Lucario counter with Aura sphere.” Briggs yelled and Lucario fired a massive aura sphere at the incoming hyper beam “Dragonite hit Lucario with a Dragon rage!” “Swampert Protect!” Quann yelled every one saw Quann’s Swampert leap in front of the professors Lucario and raise a green shield taking the blast. If these four were such power houses they knew they were in for a long fight. ============================================================ Equestria Ponyville Season: winter Temperature: 30* F, -1* C We find a citron draconicus flying around franticly. You see ever since he brought some of these Pokémon as they were called to Equestria about a year and a half ago so that Fluttershy had more animal friends and the best part was that some were small some were big, they all came in different shapes and sizes. At first they seemed harmless enough but that was until they started having these weird powers that no animal should have. After the first 5 months they were able to tame some of them and that was when the battling began. And much to Discords amusement the land of Equestria had turned into a much smaller version of earth. Complete with Pokémon gyms and pokeballs, but how the pokeball thing came about he will never know. But he still needed help cataloging them all and returning some of them to Fluttershy, and Twilight. That is when he felt a very strong source of chaos coming from earth. So he opened a little window to earth to see what it was. And was surprised to see three humans and four Pokémon battling. But unknown to them or discord they weren’t the only ones watching the legendaries of earth were watching there champions battle. He saw a Dragonite that looked pretty worse for were preform a dragon rush at some weird Quadra pedal fish thing. “Swampert! Giga Impact!” ================================================= (I want to be the very best!) “Ok buddy let’s turn this up a notch.” Quann said “Swaamperrt!” “Get ready you two. They’re trying something!” mason shouted as everyone saw the orange parts on Swampert’s body start to glow. (Like no one ever was!) “Ok Lucario! Extreme speed and Brick Break!” Briggs yelled as the fighting steal type sprinted toward Mason’s Registeel. “Registeel Hammer Arm! Dragonite Dragon rage!” Mason yelled. They all saw Briggs’s Lucario’s and Masons Registeel’s attaches collide in a draw reducing them to continue pushing on each other trying to force their way through the others guard. But then Dragonite flew above Registeel rearing its head back to fire its dragon rage. (To catch them is my real test! To train them is my Cause!) “Now! Swampert Overheat!” Quann yelled causing the mudfish Pokémon to rear its head back and fire a massive torrent of flames witch collided with Dragonite’s dragon rage. (I will travel across the land. Searching far and wide!) “Lucario Protect!” Briggs yelled as the overheat hit the dragon rage knocking the other two back and melting some of the permafrost reducing it to a puddle of boiling water. “What the hell was that?” Mason yelled. “Swampert! Muddy water!” Quann ordered and the boiling puddle turned to an earthy soup and turned to a title wave that slammed into Dragonite and Registeel and covering them I water. Seeing that his student had this covered he recalled his Lucario and stood back with Zach and the others. (Each Pokémon to understand the power that’s inside!) “Registeel! Zap Cannon!” Masson yelled and when he turned to his Dragonite he saw it was out cold. “Swampert! Mud-Shot!” Quann yelled And the attacks collided and canceled each other out. (Every challenge along the way. I will face!) “Swampert! Dynamic punch!” “Registeel! Hammer Arm!” The two attacks collided with a powerful shockwave. Locking them in a power struggle. “Sswaaaammpeeerrt!” he yelled as he overpowered the legendary Pokémon and hit it right in the center eye. And making it stumble back. (I will battle every day. To claim my rightful place.) “Swampert! Almost there. Hydro Cannon!” Quann yelled. (Come with me the time is right! There’s no better team!) The mudfish unleashed the strongest attack in the water Pokémon arsenal. Try as Registeel might it was just too slow to dodge the attack. And when it hit the torrent of water drilled him straight into the permafrost. And submerged him in water. “Dammit! Get up” Masson yelled witch he Registeel struggled to one knee standing waist deep in water (Arm and arm, we'll win the fight. It's always been our dream!) “Swampert finish lets finish this. Thunder!” Quann yelled. “Swampeeeerrrrt!” his Pokémon yelled as it fired the powerful electric attack at Registeel. Electrocuting it and knocking it out. (Pokémon!) “Fuck you won’t get away with this Briggs. Or your student!” Mason yelled as more of his thugs appeared. “Swampert! Earthquake!” Quann yelled and Swampert slammed his arm into the ground creating a large crack in the ice between them. “Come on let’s get out of here!” Briggs yelled over the Blizzard and led them away from the colony. As the thugs threw out there Pokémon. But just as Quann turned around to battle the thugs Shane’s Charizard landed in between them followed by their deceased friends Pokémon. Charizard turned its head and nodded. Quann nodded understanding that they were going to hold them off. “Swampert. Ice beam.” Quann said “Swamp.” His Pokémon said before firing an ice beam at the ice creating a wall of ice between his friends and the riotous Pokémon. “Thanks Charizard.” “Let’s go Swampert.” Quann said “Swampert swamp.” His friend said before they ran to catch up with the others. As the blizzard got worse the four trainers returned there Pokémon. And Bayleef wrapped one of her vines around Quann’s waist to that they wouldn’t get separated. ============================================= “We used to live and die by the rules we made.” The professor and the three friends and two Pokémon continued walking. Quann having returned Eevee to her pokeball to keep her worm and Yanma being stuffed in his shirt with her head sticking out to keep her fragile wings from freezing. “But our rules like everything else we built are breaking down.” The six of them reached a crashed medevac helicopter and covered their tracks. They then slid the door open weapons at the ready. They would spend the night in the chopper it got down to -100*F or -73*C at night. “There is only one rule left now anyway.” They all bot ready for sleep they took stock of everything they had. “One rule above all.” They all started to fall asleep. Not knowing that when they woke up they would be fare away from this place and would never be coming back. “Survive.”
New worldEquestria Ponyville Season: winter Temperature: 30* F, -1* C ===================================================================================== “Fluttershy these Pokémon are out of control.” Princess Twilight sparkle said. “Ya those things are running amuck!” (Pun city!!) Rainbow dash complained “Well what do you think I can do about it?” Fluttershy asked. “I don’t know but they need to be taken care of or put under some kind of control.” Twilight said sternly. “I mean those pokeball things that Discord came up with can only do so much and that is when you are able to catch them. But once you do you are pretty good.” Rainbow said. “Look girls I would but I just can’t. I’m to swamped I mean I can hardly handle the ones in my home. But maybe if I had some help.” The timid Pegasus said. “Well what if we were able to find somepony to help you?” Twilight said but she planned to go to the castle of the two sisters later that day so she would start tomorrow. “I suppose that would work. I do need help cataloguing them. And Discord is taking my place today because I have to go with rarity today to the” Fluttershy said. “Then it is settled we will start looking right away!” Rainbow Dash said enthusiastically. In reality she wouldn’t start looking until the next day because she planned on spending the rest of the day with apple jack proving who was the toughest And with that the two mares left their friends cottage to find somepony reliable enough to do the job. Sure there are already ponies who have seemed to tame the Pokémon, some have even started battling them and others have even set up special “Gyms” to test other trainers. ============================================================================= Location: unknown Season: unknown External temperature: 30* F, -1* C We find our heroes starting to wake up in the helicopter they went to sleep in but what adventures awaits them behind those doors? “Uugh my fucking head.” Zach said putting his hand to his head. “Ya I feel like I got hit by a truck.” Quann said before looking down and shaking awake Yanma, and Bayleef. “YAN YAN!” “BAY!” they both shouted waking up the other two sleeping trainers. “What the fuck? AAH WHAT THE FUCK!” Kody yelled before fumbling for his shotgun and aiming it this weird purple Rapidash thing to his right that was wearing Quann’s clothes and RIG somehow. This sparked a chain reaction resulting in the occupants of the helicopter all aiming their weapons at each other and a course of “Drop its”. Resulting in a Mexican standoff. “What the fuck is going on?” Briggs asked/ordered pulling the hammer back on his 500. Somehow that he had aimed at this green Ponyta’s head who was wearing Kody’s cloths And RIG. “I don’t know but who the fuck are you? where the fuck are we, and again drop it.” Zach said turning the safety off on his m16a4 pointing the crimson Rapidash. “Ok ok I have an idea.” The purple Rapidash in Quann’s clothes said aiming his Ak-47 at this weird red winged Ponyta wearing Zach’s clothes. “What is it freak?” the one red said not dropping his gun. “We drop our weapons on 3.” The purple one said “Ok then.” “Ok 1…2…3!” the purple one yelled at the end but no one lowered there weapons. “Well now you’re making me not be able to trust you.” The crimson one said. “BAY!” *crash* “What the Fuck! Did Bayleef just body slam him?” the crimson one said. As the three survivors watched the Bayleef nuzzle the purple Ponyta. “Wait. Bayleef only does that to one person! Quann what the fuck happened to you!?” Zach yelled. “Like your one to talk Look at you!” Quann yelled at Zach who had finally put his weapon down and actually bothered to look at himself. “What do you mean?” he asked. Looking at himself he saw that he was an all red Ponyta (minus the flames like the rest of them) but still had all of his cloths, he did have on his red hoodie, but he had no pants and gloves like the others. He looked behind himself and saw that he had some kind of image on both flanks the same image on both It was his tattoo that read ‘Honesty’ if you read it one way and ‘Integrity’ if you read it the other he quickly reached up to make sure his hat was still there witch it was. This figured out he looked at Quann who was currently just lying there with his Bayleef on top of him nuzzling him with her head. From what he could see Quann still had on his Jacket, grey Hoodie, and his hat which come how went around his horn. He also had on the grey gauntlet weapons from before. And he had his Swampert’s Pokeball as his cutie mark only it looked like it was left outside for about a day and was frosted over. After seeing Quann Zach looked to the one with the Shotgun who he assumed to be Kody who looked like a regular Ponyta but with no fire and green. Kody had on his Glasses, a dark blue hoodie and glasses and unlike Quann and himself you could actually see his mane it was brown and looked combed but not combed back just taken care of. And that left Briggs who was a large blood colored Rapidash who had a very short cut black mane. He had on a winter lab coat, one lens goggles on his forehead and grey stubble on his face making a mustache beard combo and the mark on his flank was a snow covered blue seven. “Ok I think it is time we figure a way out of here I mean I don’t hear snow blowing so we may be frozen in here we need to get out of here and find a new colony.” Briggs said but no one moved. “What?” he asked. “Um Briggs I don’t know how to walk on four legs.” Kody said. “Good point… any ideas?” he asked. “I have one.” Quann answered having gotten Bayleef off of him now she just kinda stood there. “What is it?” Zach asked “Well we could ask Bayleef to teach us how to walk?” Quann said as Yanma landed on his head and perched there. “Well that isn’t a bad Idea.” Zach said as Quann turned to Bayleef. “So what do you say girl will you teach us to walk Bayleef?” he asked. “Leef Bayleef.” She responded with a nod. “Then it is settled. Now time to get busy learning or get busy dying’.” Briggs said. “Bay bay!” “YAN!” ======================================================================================== After about 45 minutes of falling on their faces the four of them were pros at this whole four legged thing. Now the question was what about Zach’s wings he kept saying he should be able to fly because he is able to flap them and shit. “Ok let’s get out of here and I’ll get Articuno to teach you.” Kody said earning a nod from Zach. “Alright let’s get going.” Briggs said as he grasped the handle and gave it a tug. And pulled the door open. “I’ll take point.” Quann said before standing on his hind hooves like Bayleef had taught him to so that he could use his gauntlets. He jumped out of the door and aimed his gauntlets around the clearing. “Hay guys come see this I think we are in a forest?” he said bewildered. “What the hell?” Zach asked as he and the others walked out see in that his friend was indeed correct. They were surrounded by trees but there was still snow on the ground weird. “Hay guys look this isn’t permafrost.” Kody said “Is it me or is it not super fucking frigid out.” Zach said as he looked around. “Ok people let’s stay our focus.” Briggs said earning nods from the others. “Kody get Articuno out so it can teach Zach to fly but stay low. And Quann see if you can get an idea of where we are. Or if there is a colony around or a settlement around.” Briggs said receiving nods form the others. “Ok Articuno Come out!” Kody said throwing his pokeball in to the air releasing his Articuno. “Cuno!” The flying ice type screeched. “Hay I need you to teach Zach over there how to fly would ya.” Kody asked pointing to Zach with a hoof receiving a nod from his Pokémon. “Ok Yanma I need you to fly above the trees and tell me if you see anything. Can you do that?” Quann asked getting a nod the flying bug type took off into the air. Using this he took them to release Eevee from her pokeball and letting her climb onto his back and under his coat it was very shy after all. ===================================================================================== “YAN! YAN!” “Great Job! Yanma!” Quann exclaimed as his Bayleef continued to nuzzle him. “Alright people! Let’s move it out! Yanma lead the way.” Briggs ordered “Yan!” “Got it! Articuno return!” Kody yelled retuning his Pokémon to its pokeball. “Alright hay Kody thanks! I think I’ve got this flying thing down!” Zach yelled flying over to the others. “You heard the man. Let’s go.” Quann said as he asked Yanma to lead them out of the forest But they took it slow incase anything came out because if it did the four of them would drop them like a sack of shit. As they continued through the forest they could see what looked like a town of some kind. That they assumed to be another colony it was night time and they were getting no ware so they decided to stay the night. In the forest and go in the morning. ================================================================================== “I swear this is going right back where I found it just as soon as I return it to its former glory.” Rarity said stitching a banner she had damaged. “Now don’t go running off again! Oh I can’t believe I was so frightened guess I let my imagination get the best of me.” Flutter shy said nuzzling angel bunny. “I think we all did…” “I always let my imagination get away from me. Then is comes back with cake!” Pinkie pie said “Well it’s a good to know that whenever your imagination is getting away from you a good friend can help you reign it in.” Twilight said with a smile to her friends who had just happened to all meat here. And after some more pointless banter. “Hug I wander who is going to help us without Pokémon problem though?” spike said. “Good point spike whomever it is has to be experienced and so far no pony has quite getting the hang of it. Not that I have seen any way except Zacora but she is a gym leader and can’t leave.” ================================================================ When the Mane Six reentered the town they heard a commotion. When Twilight asked Allow and Lotus who were galloping but they said that some new stallions were arguing with Filthy Rich. When they got there they saw four stallions. The one arguing with money bags was a purple unicorn and had on a hooded sweater (hoodie) a winter jacket, hat, what appeared to be grey gauntlets like the princesses have. And his cutie mark was a snow covered blue and orange pokeball. (But what worried her was that it looked like his spine was showing which made her sick just thinking about it. But it seemed to glow a whitish color.) Cowering behind him was a small silver Eevee and on his head was actually she had never seen this Pokémon around Ponyville before neither had she seen the dinosaur looking Pokémon next to him that if not careful could be mistaken for a pony. Next to him was a green earth pony with a blue hoodie on and his cutie mark resembled that of a gust of wind with leaves in it (who also had a strange device on his back like the purple one but the segments on his resembled a vine with leaves. next to him was a red Pegasus with the a red hoodie and ‘DC? whatever that meant’ hat on and his cutie mark read honesty and integrity (And his Device was plane and consisted of ten cylinders traveling along his back like the others). The Crimson one was the last stallion and obviously the oldest and most experienced member of their little group and was possibly there leader had on a simple winter lab coat. But his cutie mark puzzled her it was a snow covered blue seven. (And his device had four triangles traveling along his spine back and this led her to believe that wherever these four came from these devices were normal and served some kind of purpose or maybe a status symbol.) But what got here attention was that they were all dressed for apparently much colder weather and all had what she assumed to be weapons of some kind and this worried her. “Look man your daughter is not getting my Eevee!” Quann yelled “And I keep saying how much do you want for it.” Money Bags repeated “Look if you want my Eevee you will have to take it from me.” Quann argued. “Very well then. We will battle for it.” Money Bags said with a smirk. “Fine then what will it be? One on one? Or double battle?” Quann asked. “Daddy Silverspoon and I want to battle him and the one with the glasses. So we can take his Eevee from him.” Diamond tiara said as silver spoon walked up next to her. “You’re on Brat.” Kody said stepping up next to Quann. “I will referee.” Briggs said. Stepping between them and to the side. And everypony present made a big circle around the four trainers about to battle. “Hay twilight maybe those four stallions could help Fluttershy I mean they already look like they know what they are doing and the battle hasn’t even started yet.” Rainbow said to her alicorn friend. “You may be right Rainbow dash.” she responded “This will be a standard double battle each trainer will use three Pokémon and will substitute after every round. The battle is for custody of Quann’s Shiny Eevee.” Briggs said and every one nodded. “Ready begin!” Briggs yelled as all four trainers the veteran and the two brats reached for there pokeballs. “Plusle! Minun! GO!” the two fillies yelled releasing there two electric types with every intention of making the two stallions look like complete fools. And unfortunately the rest of the town believed it. “Be warned we have the strongest local Pokémon Bits can buy.” They chuckled. “Alright. They are trying to take Quann’s baby Eevee. Beedrill GO!” Kody yelled releasing the poison bee Pokémon from its pokeball and everypony could see it was not happy with what it just heard. “Bzzzzzzzz!” “Alright Bayleef lets go.” Quann said gesturing his Pokémon to the field. Who with an angry “BAY!” shushed to the battle field. “Plusle! Minun! Thunder shock!” the two spoiled kids yelled. And the town’s ponies saw the two electric attacks strike the bug type and the grass type but strangely it didn’t seem to do much damage to the two older trainers Pokémon. “Hay kid let us show you how money can’t buy you power. Only training can do that and can your Pokémon be strong.” Kody yelled “Ya lets show them some real attacks.” Quann said with a smirk. “Beedrill Hyper Beam!” “Bayleef magical leaf!” Everypony was shocked to see the two powerful attacks hit the two little electric types and K.O in one hit that was unheard of. “Plusle and Minun are unable to battle this round goes to Beedrill, and Bayleef!” Briggs said holding up his left hoof toward his student and his friend who either recalled there Pokémon or called them out. “Pincer! Scyther! Go!” the fillies yelled throwing there pokeballs. “Looks like they’re getting serious. Ready!” Quann said as he took out his next pokeball. “Oh ya.” Kody said as he took out another pokeball. Every pony in the crowd was wandering what these two were going to use next! They couldn’t wait to see two real trainers battle. “Kabutops! Let’s move!” Kody yelled. As he threw out his prehistoric Pokémon making the other gasp they had never even heard of this Pokémon. And were shocked to see this ancient looking Pokémon emerge in a cloud of smoke. “Time for a Show! Latias you’re up!” Quann yelled as he threw his pokeball earning envious cries from the crowd as his white and gold shiny Latias appeared in a shower of light. “Kabutops Mud-Shot!” Kody yelled but this time silver spoon had time to retaliate. “Scyther um Dodge and use X-sensor!” she yelled and her scythe dodged and started making its way towards Kody’s Kabutops. “Kabutops Counter with Giga impact!” he yelled as Kabutops angled its blades sprinted full speed into Scyther. “Pincer! Brick break!” Diamond Tiara yelled wanting to end this quickly. “Let’s show them girl! Psychic followed by Dragon Rage!” Quann ordered receiving a “Latias in return” from the female eon dragon. The result was instantaneous Latias picked up the bug type and threw it into the others scythe and while they both were down with them with a dragon rage. Knocking them both unconscious and earning shocked gasps from the crowd as they had no idea that a Pokémon so cute could be so powerful and to make things worse was that after that she had tackled her trainer and started nuzzling him cooing until she was forced to get off when the elder unicorn made his announcement. So instead of returning her to her pokeball Quann just let her float there next to him. “Scyther and Pincer are unable to battle! Please send out your last Pokémon both teams!” Briggs yelled. “Alright this won’t be as easy as before.” “Kangaskhan! Tropius! GO!” they both yelled releasing the kangaroo Pokémon and fruit Pokémon. “Last chance to…”Quann started until he saw the Tropius leered lustfully at his Bayleef witch hid behind him and nuzzled his side with her head. “Never mind let’s do this Kody the Tropius is mine!” Quann yelled. “Uh oh. No man there just kids!” Zach yelled. Making everypony nervous. And every one was wandering what the purple unicorn was going to do. Until he reached into a pocket and pulled out the pokeball he has as his cutie mark. “Ready Kody?” “Ya man.” “Let’s make some ice and stay out of Quann’s way! Articuno GO!” Kody yelled and released the legendary ice bird much to the amazement of the ponies they had heard of them but had never seen one before but if even with suck a powerful Pokémon he wanted to stay out of his partner’s way what kind of Pokémon must Quann have. ================================================================================== It was decided after the first round that twilight would pick these four to help Fluttershy but first she had to tell the princesses that suck powerful trainers even existed and meat with the four of them. But like the other ponies she and her friends wondered what kind of power house this purple stallion would throughout. “Hay girls what do you think It will be?” Pinkie asked “Ah don’t know pinkie but look at that there pokeball it is the same one as the one as his cutie mark.” Applejack said. “Well either way we need to talk to them in after this. So I will invite them to the library after this.” Twilight said. “Shh here we go.” Discord said eating popcorn. ============================================================================= “SWAMPERT! You’re in charge!” Quann said mimicking his mentor. He then threw the blue and orange pokeball into the air releasing his strongest Pokémon. “Sswaaammpeeerrrrrt.” Quann’s Pokémon grunted out and let it sit there as they waited for Briggs to give the ok. “And Final round Begin!” Briggs yelled. “Tropius!” “Swampert! Hydro Cannon!” Quann yelled before the brat could order her Tropius to do anything. And as that ass beating continues lest check on Kody and Articuno. “Articuno. Blizzard and ice beam!” the effect was instantaneous knocking the kangaroo Pokémon out of the fight. “Swampert! Time to finish this! Let’s turn up the heat!” Quann shouted and everypony saw the large mud-fish the ground around the Pokémon crack and saw the orange pits of his body turn red. “Tropius! He is a water type! Use solar beam!” silver spoon yelled getting a nod in response and proceeded to charge and fire a decently sized solar beam at the mud-fish. “Eruption.” Was all Quann said completely calm and cold despite how calmly he said it could behead offer the sound of the battle. They saw the cracks around Swampert turn to fishers as fire shot straight towards silver spoons Tropius completely ignoring the solar beam and hitting it knocking it out. “Nice job Swampert!” Quann yelled before running and jumping onto the back of his best friends head. “Swampert.” his Pokémon said with a smile as he walked over and picked up Eevee and put her on his head to next to their trainer. “Hay kids.” They turned around assuming he was going to make fun of them so there father prepared to say something. “You both aren’t that bad. Just drop the attitude and the high and mighty act and start training your Pokémon and you’ll be great trainers someday.” Quann said from his Swampert’s head who nodded agreeing with his trainer. “Swam. Pert!” as nice as it was for the kids to hear his Pokémon’s agreement the guttural and deep way it said its name was kind of unnerving. “Thanks mister. We promise that one day we will be as strong as you!” they both said and ran off. “You’ve got some good kids sir.” Kody said to money Bags who thanked him. “Thank you I think they will be different from now on.” he said before walking off. “Yan!” the dragon fly like Pokémon chimed in as it flew over and perched itself on Quann’s head. “Quann do you really think Swampert was necessary in that battle?” Zach asked “Yes yes I do.” Quann said. “Ssswwamp.” “Yan. Yan.” “Bayleef bay!” “Latias.” “Um excuse me gentlecolts?” They heard a voice having noticed the crowd had dispersed they looked to see what looked like a purple winged unicorn. . . . To Be Continued.
Hunker Down for the night?“Everything lives in the shadow of something.” Quann Dunn, December 20, 2013 =================================================================== Assumed colony designation: ponyville (golden oaks library) Colony Number: unknown Colony population: unknown External temperature 30*F, -1*C ================================================================= “Fuck!” “Fuck!” “Why can’t I get this!” Quann yelled a “What are you trying to do?” twilight asked as she looked over to the purple stallion who was trying to use his hooves to get his hat off of his head but failing at it. “Why don’t you just use your magic?” “His what?” Briggs asked. “You know magic. Duh I mean you both are unicorns how don’t you know what magic is?” twilight asked One long explanation later. “So it is like the telepathy that the psychic types use.” Kody asked. “Well not exa….” Rarity started “Latias!” Quann yelled as he threw out her pokeball. “Lati!” she squealed as she tackled him to the floor of the library. “hay there girl good to see you too.” Quann said with a smile as he played on his back trying to avoid stabbing Latias with his horn. “what is it doing to him?” Rainbow dash asked as she and her friends stared at the scene in front of them, then the girls looked over to see the other stallions were just standing around talking like nothing ever happened. “Hay what…” Twilight started. “Oh her? Don’t wory about it she and Bayleef both have a crush on him.” Zach said nonchalantly as Yanma flew over and landed on his head caring eevee with her legs and tail. The six mares then looked over to see the grass type fuming with her cheeks puffed out. “Well…” Crash! “leef leef bayleef! Bay bay bayleef!!” “la la lati latias!” “Whoa calm down you two.” Quann said trying to be the voice of reason. Only to recessive a vicious glare from the two female pokemon making him shrink back in fear. “ok never mind.” He said as he stood up “hay zach haven’t we been here before?” quann asked “Ya.” The older stallion said. *Cough. Cough* “sorry.” Rainbow dash said *click, click, click, click, whiiiiine* “Hay what in tarnation is goin on!?” Apple jack yelled when the four stallions aimed there weapons at her friend and had there muzzles covered by there winter coats or by a very thick surgical mask thing. “What the hell is wrong with her!” Briggs yelled to twilight scaring the mares. “Nothing! She just has a cold.” Twilight yelled. “No one is dien on my watch.” Briggs said as he cocked the hammer back on his 500. magnum “WHAT! Why isn’t she in quarantine!?” Zach yelled back “Why would she be its just a cold?” Rarity asked “bull shit there is no such thing as just… a cold.” Kody said. “we gave her medicine.” twilight answered “What the fuck are you talking about what medicine?” Quann asked “You know to get rid of the cold duh *cough*.” Raingow dash said. “Hi Twilight did you see there are four new stalions in town a…!” A pink blur said as it crashed through the door. “Who the Fuck are you?” Zach said as both he and quann shifted their weapons from Rainbow dash to the new arrival. “Make a move. I dare you.” Quann said to the new arrival “Do you know who we are?” Twilight asked. “Do you know I don’t give a shit.” Quann said with a smirk and a chuckle. “Quanns right I really don’t care.” Zach said “WAIT!” they all turned to see Briggs was lowering his weapon. “she had medicine that will cure her cold?” he asked. “Ya. Of course she did.” Twilight said Matter-of-factly. “alright people stand down.” Briggs said resulting in surprised gasps when the other three stallions lowered their weapons. “What kind of colony is this any way?” Kody asked the others. “I don’t know. maby some kind of medical colony?” Zach said “It cant be colony’s 2 and 9 were overrun by dark ones.” Quann said putting an armored hoof to his chin. The mares were wondering what these dark ones were, and twilight especially she had never read of any thing called a dark one. “Hay what colony is this?” Kody asked twilight who just gave him a quizzical look. “ponyville.” “No He means what is this colony’s number?” Briggs said “It doesn’t have a number.” Rarity said. “Bull shit every colony has a number.” Quann responded. “Well ponyville isn’t a colony!” Rainbow dash said “So your raiders?” Briggs said reaching for his 500 magnum “Hay Wait.” “Ya?” “What in tarnation were ya’ll goanna do if we didn’t give her medicine?” Applejack asked changing the subject. “Well in colony seven we give you a choice.” Briggs said as he took a seat on a cushion followed by the other stallions. “What kind a choice?” Apple Jack asked. “Easy. She either takes a walk in the snow, or… she takes a bullet.” Quann said as he took the magazine out of his gun and cleared the chamber. With his bayleef and Latias now calmed down and looking a little worried about how nonchalantly he said it. “That’s so… So.” “Hay you purple winged rapidash.” Briggs said “Im a pony and what?” Twilight asked. “I want to talk to this colonies leader.” He orderd. “That would be me.” Twilight said. “Whats your name?” “I am princess Twilight Sparkle Co ruler of equestria the Country you are In now.” She said as if he should already know this. “Well then Princess. What is this colonies number and registration code?” Briggs asked. “Its what?” “You heard me. Number and Registration code.” “Ponyville! And its not a Colony” she yelled back. “Hello everypony having fun with the new arrivals?” a new voice said resulting in everyone present turning to see. “Discord I knew you had something to do with this.” Twilight said “Twilight im honored that you thought of me.” He said “Why are they here? Where did they come from?” “We are Just trying to survive. And we were from Colony seven.” Quann said “Wait I don’t get it. I’ve never heard or read about this colony seven.” She said as the atmosphere in the library began to become more calm much to everypony relief. “I don’t know how we used to be one of the most populated colonies on earth.” Kody said “Wait where? Earth?” “Earth. You know the planet we live on.” “We live on Equis?” Twilight said “Okay. Im sorry.” Zach said sarcastically but the mares were not used to ex-human sarcasm so they believed him. “No they are serious Twilight. I Brought them here to help Fluttershy with the pokemon problem.” Discord said earning a irritated glare from the other ponies. “But any way what is colony sevens population?” she asked as she and the other mares and dragon sat down and levitated over a quill and parchment. “Well if I remember right? It was about 400 people when we arrived wasn’t it?”Quann asked. “Ya I think about that many.” Zach said. “wait you said used to have. How many does it have now?” “seventy.” Kody said “That’s it? just seventy ponies in a whole town?” Rarity asked as zach “What in tarnation happened to all them ponies?” “They caught a cold.” Zach said shooting a glare to Rainbow dash. “Well…” “wait, is what discourd said really true? Are you really from another planet?” Twilight said “Well Ya… I guess? I mean if you can really call a frozen shit hole a planet.” Quann said before getting up and looking out of a window seeing that the sun had just gone down. So he went over and told Briggs. “Well guys it looks like we stay here for tonight. and move out in the morning.” Briggs said “What can you tell us about your world?” Twilight asked. “Well What do you want to know?” “What is that dreadful device on your backs?” Rarity asked “What this?” Quann asked gesturing to his RIG earning a nod from the mares. “It is our Resource Integration Gear or RIG for short.” He responded “What does it do? it looks really cool.” Rainbow dash said “it monitors and displays our vitals, and allows us to communicate with each other however both mine and Zachs are heavily armored for so that they don’t get damaged.” “Why would they get damaged?” “Well both Zach and I are surface team.” Quann said “what is the difference then?” Rarity asked “Meaning while most of the colony stays inside and under the ice. So there Rigs would have no reason to be armored.” “I still don’t get it and which one of y’all is this zach fela?” Applejack asked “Oh how silly of me we were never introduced.” Twilight said. “your right. we’ll let get get that out of the way. You guys first we you already introduced yourself twilight so you don’t have to.” Quann responded. “Ok then I am Applejacki run the Applefamily farm with my brother and little sister.” The one in the western style had said “I am Pinkiepie Party pony extraordinaire!” the pink one said “I’m Rainbowdash Fastest flyer in equestira.” The rainbow maind one boasted before sneezing at the end of her sentence. “I am Rarity I run the carasoul butieq.” The fashniesta pony said “And the yellow one?” Briggs asked “Im fluttershy.” She said “What?” “Im Fluttershy.” She repeated “Oh ok.” “Well know that we know your names I guess it is our turn.” Kody said. “Well i guess ill start. And I guess we will explain our RIG’s also.” He continued “Quann calls me Briggs but I am Doctor Red Wood. Genetic scientist and Ex leader of colony seven. Used to work for Team Rocket before I Quit and took my crowning achievement with me and gave it to Quann here before the snow fell. My rig is the standard civilian Issue with minor armor the brawns color represents the leader ship element of my position.” Briggs said before gesturing to Kody to continue. “I am Kody Colony sevens hydroponic scientist. I have a modified version of the civilian RIG because my job requires that I have no reason to go to the surface so I have minimal armor. My rig is this Wooden color because I am in charge of trying to find a way to make plants grow in the tundra.” Kody explained “’*Sigh* I am Zach I am Colony seven Recon and security. My rig is the Standard issue security Rig so my rig is heavily armored do the risk of patrol in the tundra. My RIG’s color represents the Rank of sergeant. That is about it Quann your up.” He said “Well then. I am Quann Colony seven’s field scientist and engineer. It was important that I be protected because I was one of the only engineers in the colony so if on patrol It was my job to fix the shit that broke or we found that was broken. I was also the apprentice of Briggs over there. On top of that I was a bit of an inventor. I wear a modified version of the heavy armor Security RIG the grey armor represents my status as an engineer.” Quann said. “Well are there more of you?” twilight asked “There were.” Zach said “What does that mean?” “I mean we lost our friends.” “Well that’s just silly how does somepony loose a friend?” Pinkie asked Bounceing. “Well I think we should just to tell you. You might want to get comfortable.” quann startedAs he turned on his flashlight and opened his blanket and got on it with his latias and bayleef beside him Yanma sleeping on his head. Kody was resting agenized a wall covered in a blanket with his shotgun leaning on his shoulder, Zach was sitting on the floor cleaning his riffle, and Briggs was just sitting there looking put of the window watching the snow fall as he levitated a cut to him with a bronze aura. And the girls, Spike and Discord were looking at him intently waiting for him to start. “Hay wait, why am I the one doing this?” Quann asked as he tried to stand up only to have latias pull him back down with her claw. “Well dude you were always better at telling these kind of stories.” Zach said resulting in the purple stallion glaring at him. And he just laughed when his bayleef just nuzzled him like she always did. “Wait you keep mentioning this toundra? Can you please explain.” Twilight asked “Alright. Well you see the world froze along time ago…” quann said before looking down solemnly. “So long ago that I don’t remember the warmth of the sun.” “I heard the stories growing up. How the world grew hotter as our fuel was burned. How The pokemon tried to warn us but we ignored them.” He continued as he stood up and walked to a window and stared out into the falling snow. “How we built towers to work the weather… When the food ran out the lucky ones founded places like this.” He said gestureing to ponyville “A place where they could exist beneath the ice.” He walked back and sat down with his pokemon in front of the mares. Who were hanging on every word. “The truth is… one day... it started to snow. And it never stopped.” Quann started before he activated the logs of what he called the dark days. Earth Year: assumed five years ago Region: Kanto External Temperature: -50 F, -45 C …To be continued
