Welcome!
In just a few moments, I am going to guide you through a portal which leads into a world inhabited only by Ponies.
But before we leave, I have some questions I would like to ask you.
The world of Equestria is a bit different from the world of Pokemon, you see. A Pony's nature is very strong. It can be as passionate as the roiling tides of the ocean, as bright and pure as a tongue of flame, as stubborn and steadfast as stone, or as tender and strong as the ancient forests…
It is what shapes a Pony’s character. It is what guides and defines them.
Your character makes a big difference in the world of Equestria, you see. That is why I wish to understand you; I would prefer to give you a form that best suits the true nature of your soul.
So, then, let us begin. Don't think too hard about each question; just trust your instincts. They will know the truth.
First... What are you?
I'm... I'm a Charizard
Good... What is your name?
...Char...
Now, What do you think of your friends?
My friends are the most important things to me. I'd get myself killed before I'd let them get hurt. But, I can't help but feel that they're slipping away
Do you think that it's your fault?
...Yes...
I see. Now, for the last question. What do you think of the world as a whole? Do you think that other people are good? Do you think the world is good?
I… I think… that the world is good. Or, it could be really good. But there's a lot standing in the way of it.
And do you wish that you could change that?
Yes, every day… but I… I don't think I have the courage… or the skill… to do anything about it. I mean, maybe I can change a little bit of it, if I try…
I just do what I can… with what little I have.
Ah, very good. At last, all the questions have been asked. Now, I must look into your spirit before I make my final judgment. Now, relax, and let me probe your soul…
Let yourself drift away, and trust me…
...
...
It is done. Your spirit… is a Glistening Gold.
Gold?
Yes, and a very special sort of Gold. is a resolute, eternal Gold… like the lining of the sun… A Gold which does not fade, regardless of what may try to tarnish it.
...
As for you… I have considered all your answers carefully, and I see what kind of a person you are. You are the vulnerable type.
Vulnerable? What do you mean?
You… are troubled by many things. Your own inadequacies haunt you. The vastness and unpredictability of the wide world intimidate you. You are… a coward, but not without purpose. You act cowardly only because you feel you understand your own weaknesses and limitations, and you feel you are simply not good enough.
But, despite this, there is a fire burning within you, something you have always known to be there, but have always been afraid, or perhaps unable, to let it shine.
Your closest friends see this fire within you, and this is why they enjoy your company. Like me, they see that you have the potential to create an extraordinary future for yourself. And I believe you see it, too; this is why you always find yourself enraged at your own shortcomings. Despite it all, your lack of confidence keeps you from seeking out this future for yourself; instead, you harbor a deep hope that someday you will be lucky, that your future will be delivered to you on a silver lining.
But you know that day will never arrive. Instead, perhaps you should begin to consider the possibility that you, yourself, are the silver lining upon which the future will be delivered.
...
As for your friends, you fear it is your own fault they are drifting away, but not because you offend them. It is because you find it difficult to see through the eyes of other people, and so, in your imagination, your friends see you the same way you see yourself, and so you imagine they are growing dissatisfied with you… even when they aren't. The truth is that you need your friends like food and water, for, it is only among them that you turn into the person you wish to be.
You need to let go, take a deep breath, immerse yourself in the world. Jump right in. Yes, it will hurt sometimes, but the hurt means that you are learning and growing. And as you learn, you will find more confidence in yourself and become more comfortable with your new surroundings.
To help motivate yourself, you must start practicing making resolutions… and keeping every single one. Willpower is the cornerstone of confidence. It won't be easy or painless, especially since you are stubborn… but if you'd only make the choice, you may grow from the tiny, vulnerable candle-flame you are now, into a glorious, blazing star which will light the way for the world.
What? I'm… a candle-flame?
Yes. Now! It is time for you to enter the world of Equestria. Now, I must take away your memories of this conversation. You will remember nothing of me, of most your previous life, or, indeed, even of yourself… but this is the beginning of your new chance to shine. Be brave! Don't hold back! Show them the fire that burns inside you!
On this day, a fate is born
A star begins to rise
And in the heart, an ember glows;
A fire that never dies.

The Story of Char
Chapter 1: Equestri-what?
Dark. All I could tell was that it was dark. Until I realized my eyes where closed. When I opened my eyes, they darted back shut from sunlight. From the fraction of a second I could see, it was around noon. I force my eyes open. It took a while for them to adjust. Once I got up I noticed three things horribly, terribly wrong. One I couldn't remember almost anything. The only useful things I could remember was my name and what I was. Two, I was not what I'm supposed to be. I was currently a Pegasus, and remembered being a Charizard. Three, I was being hunted.
Rainbow Dash was resting on a cloud when something caught her eye.
"What the..." She said as she sat up. It seemed to be a... meteor? Everypony knew Equestria had only seen one meteor, but it burned up in the atmosphere. Then she watched it crash into the Everfree. As if by instinct, she began to fly full speed towards the Everfree when she saw her friends heading in the same direction. She caught up with them and said "You guys going to investigate whatever crashed in the Everfree?"
"We sure as hay ain't haven a picnic in them woods." Applejack Responded.
"Same here." Rainbow mumbled. She hated when A.J. talked like that.
"Three down, three to go" I said to no one in particular. I had taken down three wood wolves. I assumed they were some sort of new pokemon from a different region. Hey! I remember that a Charizard is a pokemon! While I was lost in my thought, one of those... wolves tackled me. They seemed a bit strong to still know tackle. The other two joined the first one creating a dog pile. Literally. Then they used bite, no, crunch. It was too strong to be a simple bite. I started faint. I was taking too much damage. I needed some oran berries. However, just before I blacked out, a purple flash of light chased the wooden wolves away. A psychic type? Then I fainted.
"Girls! Ah Heard some timber wolves ahead!" Applejack yelled. When they got to the crash they froze. Three timber wolves were about to eat somepony. Immediately, Twilight used a spell that repelled the wooden monsters of the everfree. After the Timber wolves left they surounded the pony laying in the center of the crater. The pony was an orange Pegasus stallion with a red and yellow, flame-like mane. His cutie mark was... a flame? Yeah, a flame.
"Well, now what do we do?" Pinkie Questioned. Plans for a 'Welcome to Ponyville!' party for the Pegasus.
"Ah could carry 'em to the hospital on my back." Applejack responded.
"Or I could teleport us there." Twilight deadpanned. Causing A.J. to blush in embarrassment.
"Well, What are we waiting for beam us up Scottie." Rainbow said. (Pun intended. If ya know Star Trek, ya know what I mean) With that said, Twilight's horn created another purple light that evoloped them, and they disappeared.
Great, Darkness. AGAIN! I was in darkness once again. Except, this time my eyes were open. But, something was off. I felt... different? I looked at my hooves, no, claws? I was once again a Charizard. I felt the power, the strength, the flame begging to come up my throte. I was about to test this new found power when everything began to fade.
"NO, not now! Don't fade!" I yelled. But it was for nothing. The vision faded.
I could feel something on top of me. I could tell it was a blanket.
"Look! Ah think he's waking up!" a voice said. I began to open my eyes to see that I was in the Pokémon Center. I looked around to find that I was surounded by ponies. One was an orange pony with a cowboy hat. Another one was a pink pony that wouldn't stop hopping. There was also a white unicorn that was standing as far away from me as possible. One was a purple Unicorn, no Pegasus? She was both. Weird. One was a cyan Pegasus with rainbow hair. And finally there was a cream Pegasus hiding behind the first one.
"You okay? You were almost eaten by Timber Wolves?" the purple one asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." I responded "Just one question. Where am I?"
"The Hospital?" the cyan one said.
"I know that." I lied. I was pretty sure this was a Pokemon Center
"But where is this hospital?" I said. I was starting to get annoyed.
"Ponyville." The purple one informed.
"Where's That?" I asked
"In Equestria." she responded
"Where's that?" I asked.
"On Equus." She deadpanned.
"Is that a planet?" I gulped
"Yes?" she responded unsurely. I froze.
"You suuure your okay?" The pink one asked. Then... I screamed.
"WHAT!!!! THE!!!!!
Author's Note
Yeah, I know what your thinking. "Star Wars is better." and "Dude, your old." And yes, Star Wars is better. And no, I'm not old. My dad, however, IS old AND a BIG Star Trek fan. Though he agrees that Star Wars IS better. So don't start dumb arguments in the comments.
May I Argue?
