1 The Weird Book That Twilight Never Asked For
Twilight was incredibly bored.
She wandered around her huge castle, unsure of what to do. She wished for the umpteenth time that the Golden Oak Library hadn't been destroyed by Tirek. She missed that old tree as much as she missed not being famous. Everywhere she went the press would barricade her and ask her ridiculous questions that if she answered they would turn into some nasty remark. She HATED it. Even when she had just become an alicorn she didn't have this much press. Luckily, they weren't allowed inside the castle. So she was left with this big, magnificant, cold, drafty, and empty castle all to herself today. she sighed aloud. All of her friends were off doing something, even Spike, so she had nopony to talk to.
She decided to read in the library that she didn't know the location of. Now I guess I have to search this big, empty castle for that library... she thought. She sort of wished that she could be with her friends on their trips. She could have watched Applejack at her rodeo, or watched the fashion show Rarity was judging, or- She stopped thinking short of her sentence. She had found the library.
Twilight flew around with joy at this vast, new library. Hundreds of books she likely hadn't read yet! Years of reading worth! She'd be busy for days. She did a little happy dance in the air. I should probably calm down and start reading, she thought. She calmed down and landed on a shelf. She randomly picked a book from the top of the shelf she was standing on, lifted some beanbags (the library even had beanbags to lay on, wow!) up to the top of the shelf with her magic, and sat down with the book. The cover read Dimensional Travel for Dummies. Twilight was slightly offended. She went over in her mind how many people would be offended too. She was no dummy. She-
She stopped herself in her own mind. Why do I keep doing that? she thought. She opened the book and started reading into the offending titled book. Then she read the author's name and dropped the book. Written and illustrated by your favorite draconeques...DISCORD! This was going to be interesting...
Twilight kept reading the book into the night. It had seemed small, like a thousand pages, but the more she read the bigger it seemed to get. It was probably the result of Discord's chaos magic. By the time it was morning, it seemed like she had only read a fraction of it. But that was good. After all, a book that long? Amazing! Then Twilight found a spell. It was based on dimensional travel. It seemed...off. She went over how dimensional travel could possibly work without a solid anchor to anchor it to two specific dimensions. You would also need to use a spell hat allowed the pony to find which alternate universe to go to, and where to anchor it. It just didn't make sense. The Laws of Time and Space prevented this from happening. How could this possibly work? She decided to read it aloud. At worst, the spell would summon a black hole and it would devour Equis. At best, nothing at all would happen.
She decided to go for the best.
From one plane of existence to another;
From another plane of existence to one;
Traverse the web of time and space;
Travel to another time and place.
Nothing happened.
Twilight decided the spell was a spell that needed working out. Then she noticed a glowing coming from around her chest.
It started to glow brighter and brighter.
I hate these cliches, Twilight thought just as the glow disappeared.
And it took Twilight Sparkle with it.
Twimon [BROUGHT BACK FOR ELECTRIC PONY]
Twilight woke up groggliy, the morning sun seemed to be up a little too early. At least for her, anyway.
She fought to keep her eyes closed, but she finally gave in. When she opened her eyes she saw green and blue, blurred beyond comprehension. There were random brown dots scattered around the green. She felt a pointy sensation on the side of her cheek. She slowly and sleepily sat up while her vision cleared from the blurry image it was now. But she could already sense something bright in the blue. As her vision cleared she realized it was the sun, shining brightly as it always had. It seemed midday, around two or three. She then realized her wings were unfolded, and folded them quickly onto her back. Twilight wondered where she was. She decided maybe the spell had malfunctioned, and brought her somewhere around Fluttershy's house. Her vision became a bit clearer, but it still seemed like she was looking through a telescope Pinkie had breathed on. Her vision cleared some more. This isn't Fluttershy's cottage.. she thought. Her vision's blemishes suddenly disappeared, and she realized she was in the middle of a pasture filled with strange cows.
Instead of white, or the occasional black, they were brown with no spots at all. They seemed to have three tails that seemed to move by themselves, flipping around like they had a mind of their own. She stood up, and she noticed a bidepial ape-like creature walking toward her. It got closer, and she was able to identify it as a human, like her friends at Canterlot High. He wore a brown, leather vest with a T-shirt under it. He wore blue jeans and had a Hoofball hat on with a weird triangular symbol on it. He finally reached her, standing over her. He had a look of confusion on his face. It was like he was inspecting a new life form he'd never heard or seen before. She decided to try and talk to him. She paused before she spoke. ¨Umm...hello?¨He looked surprised that she had spoken to him. He just stared at her for a second, and spoke.
¨I've never seen a Pokemon like you before. Maybe I should try and catch you, you seem intelligent. Maybe I could become famous with you!
¨Um, what do you mean, catch me?¨ She didn't feel brave, anymore, she sensed he was talking about something she wouldn't like. He answered,¨Catch you in this . He pulled out a red and white ball with a button in the middle of the two colors. She replied,¨That still doesn't explain how you catch me.¨ She didn't know how that would work, but she had an idea he wasn't joking. He put away the ball and took out another one. ¨Go, Charizard!¨ he yelled.
The ball opened up at the center and a white light came out. The white light solidified into an orange dragon with a fiery tail. Twilight tok a few steps back. ¨Uh...can we talk this out?¨ she said. He replied with a statement. ¨Charizard, use Flamethrower!¨ The Charizard's mouth became filled with fire, and the fire began to burst out in giant streams directly at Twilight. She teleported out of the way just in time. ¨Are you crazy?!¨ she yelled. ¨That could kill somepony!¨ He just chuckled and said,¨But not a Pokemon.¨ She flew onto a nearby cloud in the sky. It was fluffy and soft, just like she remembered. The human¨Charizard, use Aerial Ace!¨ The dragon beat its giant blue wings and flew above Twilight, way into the sky. Then it came down right on top of Twilight. She didn't have time to avoid it. The last thing she saw was the man pulling out one of his balls.
The man clicked the button on his Pokeball and it sucked the Pokemon in. He waited, one, two, three flashes...and a ¨ding¨ as the Pokemon was captured. He started to walk back to his farm. He had not thought it would be easy, but it was. He would have to show it to Professer Sycamore first, as it would need to be put in the Pokedex and whatnot. He was still surprised it could talk, but it probably wasn't that intelligent. He didn't know how powerful it was, but if it was strong, he could use it to do some of his farm chores. Then he could have some time to sit back and relax, maybe watch some PokeTV. He finally got to his farmhouse, and he opened the door. He had some packing to do.

3 Escape From The Red and Blue Ball
Twilight was groggy and tired once again.
A dull ache was the first thing that penetrated the placid space – like someone throwing a rock into a pond, the world rippled in its wake and stirred ripples of brief activity. Much to short to live, though; within moments they were gone, and everything was once more a world of nothingness.
I...
Her thoughts echoed around in her mind. With the ripples, her mind was cluttered and her thoughts just floated around in a shimmering sea of nothingness.
What's...what's going on? Where am I?
The thoughts echoed across the empty space like a mighty warrior's yell, and the consciousness of Twilight Sparkle – of course that was who she was – cringed inwards. As if on cue with that realization, the world faded into a massive sea of red nothingness, and everything felt like it was shrinking. A weakness ingrained with her new wings and pegasus tendancies.
Claustrophobia.
I have to get out of here, Twilight thought.
She pushed, pushed, and pushed, ramming herself against every edge of her tiny prison faster and faster and faster until the world inside a world she was trapped in seemed like a smear in her purple irises.
I need to get OUT!
Something broke. It was like a giant wall cracked open uniformly. The world flooded outwards, and she saw a brilliant, crimson light.
¨Wha-huh? How did the Pokemon get out?¨
The new Pokemon had come out of its Pokeball just as he arrived in the lab of Professer Sycamore. It had then run out of the door, still open after he had come in. Professer Sycamore was at his desk, reading some papers-probably research papers. He had looked up as the farmer came in, and had watched the whole scene happen. The Professer put his hands together and smiled. ¨Looks like we got ourselves a rebel,¨ the professor said. He pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it. ¨Loose Pokemon on the third floor. Capture and bring to my office.¨ The professor put away his walkie talkie and said, ¨Come in, tell me what Pokemon that was. I didn't recognize it.¨
¨I...¨
¨Come on, don't be nervous. What was that Pokemon?¨
The farmer walked over to the desk and pulled out a chair.
¨I found it in one of my Tauros pastures. It was just sitting there in a daze like it had just fallen from the sky.¨ The farmer paused. ¨It must have been inteligent, because it spoke to me, said hello. I fought it with my trusty Charizard and captured it. Now it must have esc-¨
The farmer was cut off by two PokeRangers bringing in the escaped Pokemon. ¨Let me go! I never did anything to you! Lemme go right now!¨ The Pokemon Rangers dropped it and almost immediately it started trying to get past them to the door. The Pokemon swang its arms wildly and bit one of nthe Pokerangers' legs. The ranger jumped up and yelled, ¨Ow!¨, but he didn't let the Pokemon have a chance to escape under his legs. The rangers started to leave. ¨Lock the door as you go out, Tim,¨ Sycamore said to the Tim person. The Pokemon backed up into a corner of the room and sat down. It seemed to be sweating. She then attacked the professor with an array of questions.¨Why am I here? What place is this? Why do you keep calling me a 'Pokeman'? What's a 'Pokeman'? Why are you keeping me here? Wha-¨
The Pokemon stopped herself. The farmer inspected her closely. He narrowed his eyes. Her pupils were small, and they swept the room in a very frantic matter. She was sweating badly, and her expression mirrored that of a scared kid. Professor Sycamore paused, and looked directly into her eyes. ¨I know you're scared, but please hear me out, okay?¨ he said to the strange Pokemon. Look, in this place we don't know any species quite like you, and I would like to know a little more about you. For knowledge's sake. So, pretty please?¨
Twilight was dirty, confused, and most of all, weirded out.
Why would he ask to ¨know a little more about her¨? She hoped this wasn't embarrassing. She went over the pros and cons. Apparently, in this world, she was a new species. Obviously if she had encountered a new species she would act the same, but...
¨Well? Will you let me?¨
Oh god... she thought.
¨Uh......sure?¨
¨Great! We'll get started right away!¨
Oh no...
