One: The world's not entirely Black and White
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pokemon, MLP or any of the images shown. I found them on google and some may as well have come from the pokemon site. Just a heads up.
"Yes! That's right, I've made up my mind!!" A mare with a mane the color of a cherry blossom said from the door.
The mailmare had come by to drop off some important letters and she brought up something about the three pokemon in the back.
"I've chosen from three right here in ponyville." She said.
"Who Cheerilee?" The bubbly pegasus mare said.
"I can't say Derpy, I know one of them is very persistant... but they will be meeting tomorrow morning for their pokemon." Cheerilee said.
"Aw ok..I bet they'll be excited to meet their partners!" She said, flying off.
"Well, Good night Derpy!"
Cheerilee closed the door, her Minccino rushing in behind her.
"Well, I'd better start dinner... I'm starved!" Cheerilee said, rubbing the back of her mane.
A few minutes later she came out carrying a bowl of pasta with several different types of berries on the side.
"Well, I'd better get these filed away... but first," Cheerilee said, turning to the three pokemon beside her.
"I'd better get you in your pokeballs," She said, grabbing each pokeball as she listed them off.
"Snivy," She said turning to a green pokemon.
"Oshawott," She added, turning to a blue pokemon.
"And Tepig!" She finished, turning to a Orangeish-red pokemon.
"Aren't you excited? Tomorrow you'll find out who your new trainer will be!" She said, tapping Snivy on his nose.
"You three better get some rest, you have a big day tomorrow." She said, about to return them to their pokeballs.
Suddenly there was another knock on the door.
"Who is it now..." Cheerilee sighed.
Cheerilee put the three pokeballs down and went to answer the door. As she went away tepig started to smell her food she left out. He jumped down and ran at the dish, tossing it in the air. As the berries rained down he took a deep breath and roasted them using his fire. he successfully caught a curved dark pink berry.
"Pi!" He cried in victory.
Licking his lips he chomped down on the berry, spraying a drop of juice on snivy's back. Snivy desperately wiped it off as he turned towards tepig.
"Sni..." He said, smirking.
Just as he did that a hail of juice came raining down on him, agitating him.
"Sniiii..." He said, sneaking up on Tepig.
"Te?" Tepig said, turning around.
Snivy tackled into tepig, causing him to tackle him back. Soon this little fight turned into a full blown war, causing Oshawott to break it up.
"Osh Osh osh!" He cried, getting his by snivy's tail.
He got sent flying into the wall, angering him.
"Osh sha sha..." He said, pulling off his scalchop.
Snivy and Tepig stopped fighting to see Oshawott running up to them, trying to slice them with his scalchop. They desperately ran around the room, causing Oshawott to slice whatever they were hiding behind. Soon, the two pokemon tried to hide under a table with a pitcher of water on it. Oshawott sliced through the table legs, having the pitcher of water fall on tepig.
"And I just got this to you from Professor-" Derpy again started talking.
"I'm sorry, one second." Cheerilee said, ducking out of the doorframe.
"OK, WHAT'S GOING ON!?" She yelled, angered.
She came in and saw the room in shambles, her Minccino desperately trying to clean up. She walked over and pulled the pitcher off of tepig.
"Teh... Teh..." Tepig said, about to sneeze.
"TEH CHOO!" He cried, smoke pouring out of his nose.
"Poor thing... You must have a cold..." Cheerilee said, helping the other two pokemon.
She grabbed the three pokeballs and pulled the three pokemon in. She put them down and walked to the front door again.
"I'm sorry Derpy, We'll need to talk another time..." She said, apologetically.
"It's ok... I'll be on my way!" She said, flying away lopsided.
Cheerilee sighed and closed the door. She picked up the broom and started to sweep.
'I just can't help but worry about them... Are they ready to form friendships with their trainers?' She thought, idly sweeping up the mess.
~END OF CHAPTER ONE~
Derpy trotted down the road with her pokemon, Herdier, by her side.
'The weather is starting to warm up, but it's still pretty chilly in the morning...' She thought, going down her usual mail route.
'Plus, It rained last night...' She said, getting to Professor Cheerilee's house.
She opened the mailbox to see a blue wrapped box with a green bow on it.
"Ah here it is! The address is... Hey! Right around the corner!" She said, unaware of somepony sneaking up behind her.
"P-pa-acka-age..." The pony stuttered, placing a hoof on her back.
"EEEEEHHHHEEEEEE!" She squealed and pushed the being down to the ground.
"Hey! That hurt!" The colt said, rubbing his head while his braviary crouched over him and his munna.
"J-just a colt?" She whispered, still shocked.
She snapped herself out of it and said "Not funny! I've got to deliver a package to somepony named 'Black Thunder'"
"I'M Black Thunder!" He said, glaring.
Now that she got a better look at the colt, she saw he was entirely black with a dark brown mane. He was a pegasus with no cutie mark surprisingly. He had dark brown eyes as well. He was wearing a hoodie that had holes for his wings, a navy blue saddlebag, and a hat with the familiar pokeball symbol on it.
"Oh... Well-" She started before she got dragged along by the pegasus.
"Come on! I'll prove it!" He said, running around the corner.
"This is my house!" He annouced, showing the mailmare the house.
She looked at the address and back to the house and said "The address looks right..."
"'Scuse me ma'am!" He called to the window above.
A mare peeked her head out the window.
"This is my house, Isn't it!?" He called.
"Yes it is... But why do you ask Black?" The mare asked.
"Ya hear that!?" Black said to the mailmare.
"Now lets go back!" He said, dragging the mailmare back.
The mailmare gathered her thoughts and said "Okay! Okay! I get it! Sign here..."
Black signed and said "Sure thing!"
He pulled the box out of her hooves and lifted it high into the air.
"YAAAHOOO!" He shouted.
"you're all drenched... Don't tell me that you waited all night... in the downpour!" Derpy said, taking into account his soaking clothes.
"Yep! I couldn't wait!" He said, keeping the box held high.
"I'VE BEEN DREAMING OF THIS DAY FOR NINE YEARS!" He announced.
"T-this kid is scary.... Lets scram Herdier..." She said, picking up her pokemon and nearly sonic rainbooming away.
He put the box down and sat down. His two pokemon crowded over to see what was inside.
"Alright, lets open it!" He said, happily.
"Musha... Brav..." He said, looking at his two pokemon.
"Inside this box is our new friend..." he said, preparing to open the lid.
"A friend who will fight by our side.... and help us win the pokemon league championship!" He said, opening the box.
Inside was three pokeballs with labels and three rectangular boxes with a smaller square inside.
"Wow! they all look good!" He said, looking each pokeball over.
"And I get to pick whichever one I want!" He said, happily.
He then noticed the three boxes and picked one up.
"And a pokedex as well! I'm so happy I'm getting chills!" He said, shivering.
He started to feel a tickle in his nose.
"Ah... Ah.. AH-CHOO!"
His sneeze pushed the box over and opened the three pokeballs up.
Tepig looked at Snivy before turning the other way. Oshawott knew what was up and tried to get them to talk.
"Why so unfriendly..." Black said, looking at Brav.
Suddenly, Tepig splashed a little water on Snivy, causing him to wipe it off with his leaf tail. In return, Snivy hit Tepig with his tail on the head. They suddenly broke out into a big fight.
"Whoa! They're scrapping!" Black cried in amazment.
"Pokemon are natural born fighters after all! It's natural for them to tussle when they're all revved up!" Black cried out, watching the fight.
"Yeah, That's all it is! Go for it!" He yelled, pumping a hoof in the air.
Suddenly Snivy and Tepig hit Oshawott with their tails, causing him to hit them with his scalchop. While he was busy slapping Snivy, Tepig got up and ran.
"Oh! Hey! Where ya going!?" Black cried after the runaway Tepig.
