(Takes place four years after the events of Fighting is Magic and five years after the events of season 4.)

(Also inspired by Fighting is Magic: Story Mode (Mane Six Edition) for the premise and Mortal Kombat: Equestria for the execution.)

Twilight Sparkle and her friends have arrived at the fifth annual Equestria Battle Tournament, eager to show off their skills in battle alongside many other ponies and other races from and around Equestria. (Including some combatants who don't hail from anywhere near Equestria.)

However, not everything is as it seems as Princess Celestia mysteriously disappears right before the opening ceremonies. What happened to Princess Celestia? Is this part of a conspiracy? And can the Mane 6 protect a mythical Pokemon from the clutches of a dangerous Pokemon hunter? (And for that matter, what the hay do Pokemon even have to do with all of this?) If the Mane 6 and their friends, new and old, want any answers, there's only one thing they can do at this point. FIGHT!

Rated Teen for fantasy violence and other things like language that might be barely noticeable but will exist.
