Pokemon: The Equestrian League
11 year old, Matt Jones from Viridian City, is heading to the town of Pallet to receive his beginner Pokemon from Professor Oak. He has been waiting for this day his whole life.
Oh man. I cannot wait to get my pokemon from the professor. I just had to wake up early so I could pick from all three. Now that I think about it, it was a very stupid idea. A pokemon could jump out and attack. Well that isn't an issue now because I am here baby! Matt thought.
Matt was trembling with overwhelming excitement. He was reciting his options. Bulbasaur. A Grass-Poison type pokemon. Squirtle. A Water type pokemon. Than there was Charmander. A Fire type pokemon. All seemed liked fantastic choices.
If i could only pick all three this wouldn't be so hard dammit but he was cut off from his thoughts
"MATT!!!" he heard an old voice yell to him.
"Prof. Oak! Good to see you" Matt yelled back. Professor Oak was the person who gave beginner Trainers their very first pokemon, not that you don't know that already.
"Follow me to my lab. I was looking for you. I knew you'd get up early for this." he said walking towards his lab. Matt followed.
"OK Matt. Here we are' When Matt walked in to the lab he saw pokemon everything. Pokemon research, pokemon books, and actual pokemon. you name it, it was in this lab.
"Holy crap" Matt said for lack of a better word.
"I hear that every time a new trainer comes in here" He said smiling at the memories.
" I don't see why they wouldn't" Matt said, still in complete shock.
" Time to pick your pokemon. There something extra cool about these ones." Oak said smiling again.
"I can't wait!" Matt said rushing to Oak.
When they got to the room with the starter pokemon, Matt was jumping in place like a 6 year old schoolgirl.
"Here they are. Now let me show show what's so cool about them." As he said that, he took all the pokeballs and threw them. Out came a Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. There was something strange about them though. The Bulbasaur was a lighter shade of green. almost yellow. the Squirtle's shell was green, and the Charmander was a golden color. they were all shiny pokemon
"Holy crap they're shiny!!!" Matt yelled with the most girly scream you'll ever hear.
"Pick one Matt" the professor said holding in a chuckle.
"Oh god this is hard" Matt said scratching his chin.
"It was hard to begin with, but now" he put emphasis on now. After a few more minutes of thinking he finally made up his mind.
"I pick Charmander" he said pointing to it. The other pokemon frowned a bit but quickly remembered two more trainers were coming.
"Good choice" Oak said walking to a table with items on it.
"Here is a pokedex, some pokeballs, and a present from Professor Sycamore in the Kalos region" He handed Matt a bracelet type object and a stone.
"What are those?" Matt asked taking the bracelet and stone from Oak.
"That is a Mega Ring and a Mega Stone. When your Charmander evolves into Charizard, those items will help it Mega Evolve." Oak said as Matt put on the Mega Ring.
"Oh yeah! I heard about that on T.V" Matt said staring at the objects with the happiest facial expression.
"I guess i don't need to explain than." Oak said putting the other two pokemon back in their balls.
"Nope. I know the basics. Thanks for everything." Matt said turning towards the door.
"See ya" Oak said back.
As soon as Matt got to the door, a bright light appeared in front of him. He was forced to sheild his eyes, but once he recovered, he saw a trainer staring at him with an evil expression on his face.
"FIGHT ME!!!" the trainer yelled in Matt's face as he threw out his pokeball. In said pokeball was a Blaziken ready for battle.
"BLAZE" it yelled forcing Matt and oak to cover their ears.
"Matt you have to fight him. NOW!" Oak yelled, hiding behind a chair.
"G-got it" I have no time to question this. That Blaziken looks like it has the intent to kill. My first battle is with a psychotic trainer and a psychotic Blaziken. I'm screwed.
"Charmander. I choose you!"

Chapter 2: A Whole New World
"Charmander. I choose you!" The Charmander stepped in front of Matt and got ready to fight.
"Blaziken, use Sky Uppercut!" the Blaziken then charged Charmander.
"Charmander, dodge and use... Flamethrower!" Matt called out after briefly checking the pokedex for Charmander's moves. Charmander landed the hit. Blaziken didn't even look fazed by the hit, as Matt expected.
Damn. Were not gonna win like this. Matt thought as the Blaziken got ready to attack again.
"Use your Flamethrower Blaziken!" the Blaziken fired, hitting Charmander in the face.
"CHAR!" it yelled in pain.
"Charmander, you OK!" Matt yelled to it. It shook its head to clear its thoughts and nodded yes.
"Alright then, use Fury Swipes!" Matt yelled. Charmander jumped to the Blaziken's head and scratched repeatedly. The Blaziken fell to the floor.
Holy crap. Matt thought as Charmander readied up.
"Use Flamethrower!" Matt commanded. Charmander fired and hit the Blaziken and it flew back a few feet. Charmander won. It's power was completely insane.
"Ha ha. We did it Charmander!" Matt yelled excitedly. Just after that, another bright light appeared out of nowhere, and Matt blacked out.
When Matt woke up, he was in a forest. He was next to the professor and his Charmander. It was dark. he could barely see.
"Professor, wake up!" Matt shook him a bit. He woke up, than he moved to his Charmander.
"Hey, Charmander wake up" after some shaking, it did.
"Where are we?" Oak asked.
"How the hell should I know. All I remember is that psycho trainer popping up out of nowhere" Matt said. He looked around, trying to find an exit. He eventually saw a small light in the distance.
"I see an exit. Follow me." he said as he moved towards the light.
The three of them were walking for at least 30 minutes when they got to the exit. When they stepped out none of them could believe their eyes. They saw buildings and other stuff you would town, but what threw them off was the population. It did have a few humans, but not many. They saw at least 100 colorful pony looking creatures talking,and living out their daily lives like people do.
"Oh my god." Matt and Oak said in unison.
"What are they?" Matt asked to nobody in paticular.
"They look like Ponyt-" Matt cut Oak off.
"Do not say they are Ponyta because they are clearly NOT!" Matt yelled
"Then what do you propose we call them" Oak ask, a puzzled look still plastered on his face.
"How about... ponies. Yeah. That sounds good" Matt said with his arms crossed.
"Let's go talk to one of the people" Oak said putting heavy emphasis on people.
"Yeah. Sounds good." Matt said, starting towards the town. Charmander close behind.
When they got into town, they were mind boggled by the sights. These ponies lived an everyday human life. Eventually another person walked up to them.
"Hey. You two look new around here" he said. He was wearing a green T and jeans. He had a Lucario standing next to him.
"Yeah. Where on earth are we?" Matt asked looking around.
""Did a psychotic trainer approach you two with a Blaziken and asked to fight you?" he asked pointing a finger at the two confused people.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" Matt asked pointing an finger back.
"That's how we all got to this hell hole." the kid replied. He looked 13.
"The names Buster Johnson. Yours?" He asked, hand outstretched.
Buster Johnson. What kind of name is that? Matt thought as he reached the handshake.
"Matt Jones. This is Prof. Oak" Matt replied awkwardly.
"And what do mean hell hole?" Oak asked.
"This place treats Pokemon like tools." He said, his Lucario growled as he said it.
"That's horrible" Matt and Oak said in unison.
"Here me out before you get even angrier. They don't treat their Pokemon with any respect at all. I've seen trainers beat their Pokemon after they lose a fight. They get all bloodied and battered up because of the ass wipe who OK'd it." Buster said, his fist clenched.
"That's completely outrageous!" Oak yelled. Matt was in too much shock to speak.
Why would anyone want to beat their Pokemon? I have to put an end to this. He then looked down to his Charmander, who was looking at him, worry in it's eyes.
"I'd never beat you Charmander" Matt said smiling. Charmander was relieved.
"But why can't the Pokemon fight back or run away?" Oak asked. It was a reasonable question indeed.
"Their princess OK's it. They can't run because they'll get their asses kicked by said princess. It's completely outrageous how she always talks about friendship and this is how they treat Pokemon! I will never understand it.' He yelled.
"Do any of them care?" Matt finally asked.
"Yes. This towns Gym Leader loves Pokemon and treats them with respect. I'm close friends with her. Her name is Fluttershy." he said calming down a bit.
"That's a relief" Oak said with a sigh.
"Can we meet her." Matt asked hopefully.
"Of course. Follow me." Buster said.
Yes! I can finally challenge my first gym leader and help this place's Pokemon. Matt though as he followed Buster.
"Charmander. Hop on my shoulder. We'll show these bastards friendship." Matt called to his Charmander. Charmander happily hopped on Matt's shoulder.
"Char!" It shouted happily.
"Let's go buddy!" and with that, they went to Fluttershy's house.
