From Friends to Fur

Gotta hurry! Matt ran towards .............. as he carried the .................. He was nearly there. He could see it's doorway in the distance. Almost there! Come on! With a sudden burst of speed, Matt rushed towards ................ and straight through the door to find Sora laying in a small pool of blood screaming in pain. "Sora!" Matt ran up to her. "I'm here Sora! I'm Here!" He stood at her side as her pain brought her tears.

"Matt... It hurts." Sora stared at Matt, obvious pain in her eyes.

"I know, I know, just ................." Matt consoled her in her time of pain. "I've got it Sora! It's right here!" Matt showed her the ...............

Sora was able to let out a smile as she replied, "Y-You did it. You found the last ............ We can finally-"

"So let me see if I understand." Twilight asked, finishing a note that she was scribbling down. "So you're from a different world,"

"Yes." Replied the light blue creature she found out whose name was Sora. She had told Twilight her name earlier along with a few other things.

"You used to be a human,"

"Yup."

"You came here through a portal device,"

"Uh-huh."

"And you are now a video game character."

"You got it."

"Did I miss anything?" The lavender alicorn asked.

Sora smiled. “So far so good!”

“Great!” The princess said with a smile. After a shaky introduction and Twilight getting over her initial shock, both her and Sora sat at her table in the front room of the library, a cup of tea beside either of them on their respective spots on the table. Twilight took a sip of tea before she cleared her throat and continued. “So I have a few questions for… everything you just said.”

Sora let out a sigh. “Yeah, I know. I was just being vague to give you the gist of what happened. So what do you want me to explain first?” She asked.

Twilight thought for a second before asking, “You said you were a human, but humans are fictional characters from a children’s television show. How can you be human?”

“Really?” Sora said before chuckling a little. “That is just a huge coincidence isn’t it?”

That caught the lavender alicorn by surprise. “What do you mean?”

“Well,” Sora started, “back where I come from, you’re the main –well, one of the main—characters of a little girls’ TV show.”

Twilight stared at her guest with wide eyes. “Y-you’re kidding.”

“No really. You have a TV show called My Little Pony. I watch it all the time!” Twilight just sat there staring blankly ahead of her. “Uh, Twilight?” Sora waved a paw in front of the dazed alicorn. “Hello in there!” Sora stopped before an idea came to her and she put on a fiendish grin whist raising a clenched paw up to the princess’ forehead before- “Knock, knock.”

The still dazed Twilight responded with a, “Who’s there?”

Sora smiled and replied, “Owlowiscious goes.”

“Owlowiscious goes wh-?“ The unresponsive Twilight reverted back to her normal state of mind in time to catch herself from finishing her question. Then she sarcastically replied, “Oh, ha-ha very funny.”

Sora shrugged. “Had to bring you back somehow.” With that said, she returned to her seat at the table.

"Well, it's good to know that you have a sense of humor."  Twilight mumbled a few words under her breath as she wrote down another note in her notepad. "Alright, so I'm a cartoon and you're a cartoon..."

Sora, being who she is, just had to add her two cents. "Actually, if you count what I am now I'm a cartoon two times over."

Twilight looked at her confused before glancing at her notes. "I thought you said that you were a video game character, not a cartoon character."

Once again, Sora shrugged, "Well, the game that I... or rather, my body comes from was very popular and it became a television show with the same name. Hence being a cartoon twice over."

"Right." Twilight replied unconvinced as she wrote yet another note into her notepad. "Anything important I should know about this game... show... thing?"

Sora took a second to think that over, smiled sheepishly as she said, "Well..." before getting interrupted when the door opened.

"Twilight, darling, I found the most peculiar object in my workroom today and..." Rarity had opened the door and started to make her way towards Twilight but halted when she caught sight of Sora sitting at the table next to Twilight, both of them staring back at her. "Um, Twilight? Who's this?"

Twilight, being the ever so observant pony she is finally took notice of the shocked expression on Rarity's face as she put on a shocked face of her own. "Oh! Rarity! I wasn't expecting you!" Twilight gestured back towards the Glaceon before she continued. "This is Sora. She sort of just... showed up not to long ago. We were just talking about how she got here and what she happened to be at the moment."

Rarity only stared at Twilight with much concern for her friend. "Twilight... that's a blue cat." Twilight's expressions changed to that of annoyance.

Sora felt unamused but she should have expected this. She did come to Equestria, a place that's never even heard of Pokemon. Or possibly Earth for that matter. Shook the thought out of her head and figured that if she was going to make any progress here in Ponyville, let alone Equestria, that these ponies were going to have to get used to seeing her around. So she did the only sensible think she could think of. "Hi! I'm Sora!" She blew the poor mare head twenty times over... Okay maybe I exaggerated a little bit.

"Uh... Fluttershy? Are you okay? Hello in there!" Matt was pawing at Fluttershy's body trying to rouse the sleeping mare to a more... lets say a more conscious state. However, unfortunately for him Fluttershy was just not waking up. He really hoped that he hadn't indirectly hurt her. "At least she's breathing. That's a good sign... I hope." Matt grunted in frustration and would have proceeded into a rant had he not been tackled onto his back away from Fluttershy when he wasn't looking.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!" Bombed a voice into the unexpected Eevee's ears.

"OW! Big ears, big ears." Matt wished he had been turned into a pokemon with less sensitive hearing. It would have hurt less.

"I don't care how big your ears are! You're gonna feel a lot worse in about two second unless you start talking!" The voice sounded oddly familiar to Matt. Angry, of course, but still familiar.

Matt opened his eyes to see just who was yelling at him only to fine the angry and terrifying Rainbow Dash glaring, not daggers, but fully fledged swords at him. Little to say, Matt was terrified, nearly to the point where he would be laying down in the middle of a small puddle on the floor. The only thing he could to was to smile nervously, and chuckle, "U-Uh...H-Hi?"

Rainbow Dash had none of that as shown by her punching the floor next to Matt's head with her hoof before shouting, "Stop playing games you... uh... er..." Rainbow Dash stuttered and scrunched her face as she tried to remember something.

"Vermin?" As smart as Matt liked to think he was, he was naive and would often hinder himself instead of actually help himself. This was no exception.

"What did you say?" There were many things Matt doesn't enjoy. One of these things that was near the top of his list was someone who was angry with him. However at the very top of the list  was the one thing that would make the manliest of men, let alone him, cringe in fear... Angry women.

Remember that puddle mentioned earlier that nearly happened? ...Yeah. It happened and it wasn't a small one either. With his eyes closed, his body curled into a ball and shaking fiercely as he whimpered into his paws. Yeah, Matt's not exactly what you would call a manly man. He was never one to get into any serious confrontations, especially with women. He knew that he would never win an argument against any of them. And whenever it came to just a normal confrontation he would have to use nearly all his strength to just keep from choking up. So to say that a confrontation like this was out of his comfort zone was a huge understatement.

This caught Rainbow off guard. Whenever she was in a confrontation it was either with a bully, a jerk or someone she was competing with. She never faced anyone so... wimpy. She felt kinda sorry for the poor thing and backed away a few steps. Maybe she had over done it. Then she came to a sudden stop. Her back hoof made contact with the unconscious form of Fluttershy and she remembered why she was angry in the first place. Then she went back to the shaking ball of cowardly fluff, forced it to look at her and threateningly asked, "What did you do to her?"

Matt stared into Rainbow's eyes and saw the burning core of anger deep within, while obvious fear remained in his. Tears had been running down with fear in the fear that an onslaught of pain was coming his way. He had not been so scared since he was a little kid getting in trouble for complaining about how he didn't get a toy. He did the best he could to reply to her question but it was still shaky. "I-I-I don't know! She-She just fainted! Please don't hurt me Rainbow Dash!" He pleaded hoping that the rainbow colored mare would allow him to live.

Rainbow was taken aback from the last statement. He just said my name! How does he know my name?! Rainbow had a slight mental panic and would have gotten enraged with paranoia had she not felt Fluttershy move behind her. She looked back to find her friend get up onto her hooves while rubbing one of her temples which she fell on when she fainted.

"Ugh- Rainbow Dash? What-What are you doing?"

"Alright. I think I understand now darling."

"Yes! First try!" Sora had finished telling Rarity everything she had just told Twilight and from the looks of it everything she had taken it very well. She didn't even have to repeat anything!

"I still have some questions though." Well not everything can be perfect. Rarity pulled out something from behind her that she somehow kept hidden from Twilight and Sora even when unconscious and showed it to the Glaceon. "Would you know anything about what this is?" In her magic she held a dual-colored spherical object with a white button in the front.

Sora's eyes widened as she instantly recognized the iconic red and white sphere pointing at her. "Is tha... That's a... How did... Th... THAT'S A POKEBALL!" Sora snatched the ball out of Rarity's magical grasp and examined it, nostalgia filling her every bone. She rubbed along the ball feeling it's smooth, shiny surface admiring it with her equally shined eyes. While mesmerized by the smooth, shiny ball she accidentally pressed her paw against it's button, opening it up. "Uh, oh." When the red and white sphere opened up a red beam of light shot out and engulfed Sora in it's glow turning her body into the beam's red energy. With Sora converted into red energy she was pulled into the ball which closed as soon as all of the red energy finished it's retreat into the ball.
