Chapters A New World, A Confusing New Way
Chapter 2: Commence the search!
Dash lept in the air, sending a fire blast into the sky and then using solar beam to turn it bright white. It then exploded out like a firework.
"Now we wait for another teammates signal." Kylee said.
The other two Pokemon nodded and sat down. A few minutes later, there was a pillar of fire shot into the sky, then it turned black and glowed blue on the outside of it.
"Velvet and Midnight!" Dash exclaimed, knowing the blue and black was Physic and Shadowball from Midnight and the fire was from Velvet.
"Let's go!" Kylee yelled, leaping on to Dash's back.
The two Pokemon ran to where the fire pillar appeared, Meowsie following behind the two.
"Who's there?!" Called a harsh voice from the woods.
"I know that voice... VELVET!!"
Dash charged forward, Kylee holding on for dear life.
"Dash! I'm so glad to see you!" The silver fox yelled happily. (Yes, I have a shiny. Sue me.)
"Me too!" Dash exclaimed. "Are you guys alright?"
"We're fine. But who's that?"
The Umbreon padded forward, a questioning look in his face.
"Oh yeah, I forgot! Guys, this is Kylee. Somehow she turned into an Umbreon. Meowsie already proved it by searching her mind." Dash answered.
There was dead silence for a moment before Velvet and Midnight burst out laughing.
"HAHAHA! Good one, Dash!" Velvet giggled.
"Yeah! That was hilarious!" Gasped Midnight.
"What do you mean? I'm being serious!" Dash said with a frown. That shut up the two Pokemon on the ground.
"Y-you're serious?!" Velvet yelled. "B-b-but how! Kylee was a human!"
"No idea." Meowsie said, finally emerging from the woods and panting a little bit. "I just know that's Kylee."
The Pokemon stood in an awkward silence for a second when Kylee realized Midnight was staring at her.
"What?" She asked.
Midnight just chuckled. "Oh, nothing." He said. "Just admiring your beauty."
Kylee blushed slightly. "Oh, stop it. You've always been too kind, even as an Eevee."
The other Pokemon looked away, a knowing smile hissed on their faces.
"Come on." Said Velvet, trying not to smile. "Let's find Freedom and Lassie."
"If I had to guess, Freedoms looking for us from the air and Lassie is by a large body of water." Kylee said matter-of-factly. "Lassie would probably be easiest. Let's look for her first."
The Pokemon headed off in a random direction, hoping to stumble across some water or, maybe, some food. As they walked, they noticed that the forest they were in was wild, dark, and unpredictable. The weather changed in a flash, it went from cloudy to rain to sun in the span of ten minutes.
"This place is creepy..." Mumbled Velvet. "Let's get out of here."
Kylee nodded. "We will have better luck finding the others if the area is more open. Dash," Kylee turned to the fire-horse in question. "You're the fastest of us. Run ahead and see if you can find the exit. We will wait here. Send the signal of you get lost."
Dash charged into the woods. The light of its flames faded away in the distance. "I hope she'll be alright..." Murmured Meowsie.
A New World, A Confusing New Way
The next morning, Kylee awoke to a warm body pressed against her. She looked over her shoulder and saw Midnight curled around her. Being larger than a normal Umbreon, Midnight almost managed to touch his nose to his tail while still staying curled around Kylee.
Kylee shook herself lightly, then carefully got up and walked around the small clearing they had camped out in. Dash still had not come back, and she was starting to get worried.
"Where is she?" Kylee mumbled. "She should have been back hours ago!"
"Something wrong?"
Kylee spun around and saw Midnight walking up to her. "Oh... H-hey midnight. Did I wake you up?"
Midnight shook his head. "Oh no. I woke up on my own. What's wrong?"
Kylee sighed, trying to shake the worried feeling she had. "Dash still hasn't come back. I'm worried..."
Kylee trailed off as Midnight embraced her is a tight hug. "Don't worry." He said softly. "She will come back. She's tough."
Midnight let go and stepped back. Kylee stood still, her mind still trying to catch up with what just happened. "Oh..." She said quietly. "T-thanks Midnight. I-I need to go on a walk... I'll see you later!"
With that she spun and ran off into the woods. "What just happened?!" She thought. "Why did midnight hug me?! He can't have a crush on me. He can't! I already have Matthew as a boyfriend!"
Kylee stopped as she came to a large lake. She saw many water Pokemon swimming around, including Magikarp, Goldeen, and Feebass.
Kylee looked at her reflection and noticed she looked slightly different than a normal Umbreon. For one, her eyes were blue like they were as a human. Se also had her silver loop earrings on still, the ones with the little blue-and-white striped ball on them. Lastly, she still had her pink watch and heart-shaped ruby ring that Matthew gave her. She looked down at the ring, a tear forming in her eye. "Matthew..." She sobbed. "I miss you..."
Kylee looked up and saw a large blue turtle swimming towards her. "L-lassie?" She whispered. "Hey, lassie!" She said a little louder.
The Lapras looked up and saw the Umbreon. "Midnight?" She called. Kylee shook her head. "No! It's me, Kylee!"
The Lapras sped forward, stopping at the shoreline. "K-Kylee? But how? Your an Umbreon!"
Kylee shrugged. "Not sure yet, but I'm glad I found you! Now we just need Freedom. We found everyone else."
"Wow... So, where are they?" Lassie asked.
"They're farther inland. I can get them to come over here if you want." Kylee said.
"Sure! I'll wait here." Lassie replied, swimming back out into the water before diving under.
Kylee began running back to toe clearing, calling for her team. "Midnight, Velvet, Meowsie! I found Lassie!" She yelled, bursting into the camp. All the Pokemon looked up at her except Midnight, who looked away shyly. "Come on!" She called, running back. She heard three sets of footsteps behind her, showing that the others were following.
"Lassie!" Kylee called out as they made it to the lake. "We're back!"
The Lapras lept out from under the water, showering the Pokemon with the splash. Kylee laughed and looked at Lassie. "Here we are! Dash went to find an exit to this forest, so we are waiting for her to come back. Speaking of which, Midnight, Velvet, send the signal."
Velvet shot a tower of flame into the air, followed quickly by a flurry of shadow balls from Midnight and a physic, turning the flames black and blue.
"My Pokemon coordinator training from mom seems to have helped me, even if I never did compeate in them." Kylee thought happily.
As the pokemon sat around the lake, Kylee saw a burst of fire way out in the distance. "There!" She yelled. "I saw Dash's signal!"
Kylee paced in anticipation waiting for Dash when the flame horse leaped through the bushes, followed closely by a red blur. The red thing tackled Dash, holding a hoof to her throat.
"Dash!" Kylee yelled, then glared at the red creature. He looked somewhat like Dash, but with wings instead of a horn. He had a red body with a goldish-yellow mohawk-style mane and tail. "Who are you?" Kylee growled, stepping towords him. "Why are you chasing Dash?"
The figure looked up and saw the pokemon now surrounding him. He glared at them, slowly stepping off of Dash. Looking around, he snorted. "I can't understand you animals, you know."
Kylee nodded and turned to Meowsie. "Do your thing." She said.
Moewsie smiled and closed his eyes. Kylee felt something in her brain, like a light poke. "Hello there." Kylee thought, knowing it would be sent to the ponytas mind. Her thoughts were confirmed when he suddenly jumped in the air in fright.
"Who said that?!" He growled.
"Me." Kylee said, stepping forward. "Meowsie set up a mental connection so we could talk. Nw tell me, who are you and why did you attack Dash."
"I am Cloud Ace, and 'Dash' attacked me with fire!" He said.
Kylee glared at Dash. "You attacked him?!"
Dash's eyes went wide. "No! It was the signal! When i sent it, one of the stars points nearly hit him. He attacked me after that!"
Kylee nodded and turned to Cloud. "Im sorry abut Dash's Fire Blast nearly hitting you. She was sending the signal to tell us where she was. Each of my pokemon have a signal of their own and one they can do as a team, in case anyone needs help. Again, I am very sorry. She will be punished for her careless behavior, I promise you that."
Cloud Ace stood stunned for a moment before nodding slowly. "Well then..." he thought. "I'm sorry about attacking your friend."
Kylee smiled nervously. "Its fine. You thought you had been attacked. It was simple instinct."
Cloud smiled back. "Well, i gue-"
"Cloud Ace! Where are you!"
Cloud looked up at the sky. "Rainstorm! I'm down here!"
A blue figure similar to Cloud flew past them, then turned around and collided with Cloud Ace. She stood up and shook herself off, and Kylee saw she was light blue with a black mane and tail. She, like Cloud, had wings. Kylee nodded at Meowsie, who set up a connection quickly with the newcommer. Kylee then glared at Cloud with a look that said "Explain."
"Everyone, this is Rainstorm, my wife. Rainstorm, this is Kylee and her friends."
"And just how did you meet these... animal things?" Rainstorm demanded.
(One short explanation later, cause I'm lazy) "Im so sorry, Kylee! Cloud can be very compulsive and reckless sometimes." She said with a laugh. "So... What exactly are you guys anyways?"
Kylee gasped. "You man you don't know what a pokemon is?!"
The two creatures, 'Ponies' Kylee remembered, shook their heads.
"So there are no pokemon here..." Kylee thought.
"Its eaiser to give a demonstraition." Said Velvet, looking hopefully at Kylee.
Kylee laughed. "Fine, Velvet. Hmmm... Freedom, can you help us out? Were gonna do a battle demonstraiton for the Ponies."
Freedom swooped down from the sky. "Sure!"
"Know any clearings around here?" Kylee asked.
"Theres one on the other side of the lake. Come on!" Rainstorm said, speeding off. Kylee lept on to Lassies back, along with Midnight, and rode across the lake while Meowsie just teleported, Dash and Velvet ran, and Freedom flew across. When they arrived, they saw a large clearing. Kylee smiled, as it was just the right size for Dash and Freedom to battle without a problem.
"Alright, Dash, Freedom, you two are up!" she called.
The flame horse took one side of the feild while the large blue bird took the other. "And... BEGIN!" Kylee yelled.
"Flamethrower!" Dash started by launching flames from her mouth, which Freedom eaisely avoided by flying into the air.
"Air Slash!" Cawed Freedom, shooting blades of air at Dash. Dash lept to the side, but one of the blades hit her. She grumbled a little, shaking herself before calling out "Flame Charge!"
Dash was an orange blur as she charged and lept at Freedom, who coulden't move out of the way in time. He cried in pain as the flames engulfed him, but he recovered just before hitting the ground and shook off the fire, retaliating with an Ariel Ace. It hit son and caused Dash to stumble.
"Thats enough!" Kylee called out. "We dont want any serious injuries here."
The two battlers nodded and walked past the ponies, whos jaws were on the floor in shock.
"But... how... why... the fire... blades of air..." Cloud mumbled.
Rainstorm recovered and looked at Kylee angriy. "You force these poor animals to fi-"
She was cut off as Midnight tackled her, growling. "We. Are. Not. ANIMALS!" He screamed at her. She threw him off and grumbled. "Sorry." Kylee said. "But pokemon hate being called that. Being an animal implies not being smart. More of a beast. Pokemon, however, are very intellegent. In fact, one pokemon named Alakazam has an IQ of over 500."
Rainstorm nodded. "As I was saying, you force Pokemon to fight each other?! WHats wrong with you?"
Kylee shook her head. "Only bad people like Team Rocket would force them to battle against their will. Truth is, most pokemon love battling.
Rainstorms eyes took a sudden light of understanding. "Oh. I see. So its kinda like something they do to prove worth and whatnot?"
Kylee nodded. "Pretty much."
Cloud Ace suddenly leaped into the air. "That. Was. AWESOME!!" He screamed.
Rainstorm shook her head and laughed. "Hey Kylee, how would you like to sleep at our house? I figure since you kinda woke up out here, you need a place to stay."
Kylee smiled. "Sure! Thanks! Alright team, were headed to Rainstorms and Clouds place to sleep for a while. Lets go!"
As Kylee followed the two ponies to their house, she coulden't help but let her mind stray to that morning with Midnight and the mixed feelings she had.
A New World, A Confusing New Way
"Good morning, Kylee! We have a guest."
Kylee opened her eyes and saw Rainstorm standing at the doorway to the small cottage they owned at the edge of the forest.
"Who?" Kylee questioned, standing up and blinking in the light.
Rainstorm stepped back to reveal a purple pony with a large, puffy mane (Which was dark blue with a red stripe in it), and a horn.
"Kylee, this is Flare Moon. Flare Moon, this is one of the pokemon I told you about. Her name is 'Kylee'."
Kylee nodded at Flare Moon. "Hello, Flare. Like Rainstorm said, my name is Kylee."
Flare Moon looked at Kylee in confusion. "Crap." Kylee facepawd. "You don't have the mental connection yet, and meowsie is asleep right now."
Rainstorm whispered something to Flare, and she nodded. The purple pony looked at Kylee as her horn light up with a bright red aura. Kylee stepped back, scared of what was happening, when the red aura suddenly darted to her. She felt herself being lifted up slightly into the air, then going back to the ground. "What was that?!" Kylee yelled.
"Yes! The translation spell worked!" Said Flare Moon happily.
"Translation spell?" Asked Kylee.
"Yeah! It makes us able to understand you." Rainstorm said happily. "Since meowsie can't hold that mental connection forever. The spell lasts 2-3 days, so you might wake up and suddenly not be able to talk to us."
Kylee smiled. "Thanks, Flare. So, like I was saying, my name is Kylee. I am from the Johto reigon, but ive been to every region there is, so i have a mix of pokemon on my team."
Flare nodded. "I have a list of questions for you. 1. What are you and the others called and what do you do?"
"We are Pokemon, though im supposed to be a human. I have no idea how i became a pokemon. Basicly, Pokemon are creatures of amazing power. For example, Dash and Velvet can shoot fire from their mouths and Freedom can make tornados with a flap of his wings. Pokemon are used mostly for battling, but some people use them to show off their beauty as a coordinator. Pokemon battles normally don't go so far as to kill pokemon, but it has happened before if a trainer pushes the pokemon too far. However, pokemon have amazing healing abilities and we have advanced technology. In one night, a pokemon can go from Yevltals door to Xerneas's garden. Yevltal is the legendary pokemon of death, by the way, and Xerneas is the legendary of life. Legendary pokemon are super powerful. Some control time, like Dialga and Celebi, while others control space, like Palkia. There are somewhere around 50 legendaries known." Kylee finished.
"legendaries known." Flare Moon wrote. "Alright. Next, why do you battle?"
Kylee frowned. "Thats a tough one. Well, most trainers don't force them to fight. Most pokemon like battling, but some dont, as don't some trainers. But we battle... well... for fun. Its kinda like a sport for us."
"Alright. How did you get here?"
"I have no idea." Kylee said simply. "I collapsed in the Pokemart, thats like the store for us, and woke up in the forest. What is this place anyways?"
"These are the Whitetail Woods." Rainstorm answered.
"No, i mean what reigon."
"Well... the country is Equestria on the planet Equus. Wait, are you from another planet?"
"Well..." Kylee mumbled. "Im from planet Earth, so i guess, yeah."
Flare and Rainstorm gasped. "Aliens! I knew it!" Yelled Flare Moon.
Kylee laughed. "I wont hurt you. Not like i have a ray gun or anything. OR DO I!" She screamed, pretending to grab a ray gun and hold it up.
It was at that exact moment Midnight came into the room. "Oh. Thats was all the ruckus was. Whos this?" He asked Rainstorm.
"Flare, Translation Spell please." Rainstorm said.
Kylee smiled. "Your in for a surprise, Midnight." She said simply.
Kylee watched as the aura hit Midnight. He stood there for a second before looking at Kylee. "What... Just happened..."
"Translation spell." Flare answered happily. "I can understand you without meowsies mental connection now."
Midnight nodded. "Okay. Who are you?"
"Flare Moon. Fillydelphias best expert on the sky, eclipses, stars, and planets. And you are?"
"Midnight. Kylees partner." Said Midnight, meaning it in two ways.
Flare caught on to both of the ways he ment it. "Oh, i see. Well, ill leave you two lovebirds alone then."
"Wait what?! Love birds?! Excuse me, i have a boyfriend and his name is Matthew! Midnight and I are friends, end of story!" Kylee said, though she was blushing profoundly. "What is this feeling?" Kylee thought. "I can't seriously be in love with Midight! I have Matthew!"
Kylee's thoughts were inturrupted by a loud voice rushing through her head.
"Greetings citizens on Equus, both old and new."
A New World, A Confusing New Way
"Greetings citizens of Equus, both old and new."
Kylee stood stunned for a moment. She looked around and saw her Pokemon, now all awake, looking around in confusion.
"I am Lord Arceus, Creator of the creatures that you have seen over the past few days. Do not worry, you have no reason to fear me, for I come in peace."
Kylee was rooted to the spot. "Arceus..." She whispered. "So he really exists."
"I am the one who brought the creatures to this world. The creatures are known as Pokemon."
"I have my reasons for bringing them here, and I will be holding a summit with the worlds leaders so that they can help inform their citizens the best."
"For now, I issue a warning; Even if some do not appear as such, Pokemon are just as intelligent as any other creature that calls Equus home. Since they are MY subjects, I will not tolerate their mistreatment or abuse. Treat them as you would your own neighbor.
There was a pause in the speech before Arceus continued.
Pokemon who have awoken in this new world, do not seek harm to the natives of this world. To the Pokemon who experienced certain... Changes... when you arrived; You are the ones who proved that not all of your kind deserved vengeful retribution, consider this your reward. To live new lives, free of the burdens of the old world, a chance to start anew.
"As sentient beings of varying intelligence, the laws of the respective countries you reside in now apply to you, and only those laws."
It took a moment for Kylee to understand what Arceus meant by that, but before she could even acknowledge her understanding, the Alpha Pokemon continued.
"That is all for now, the Pokemon are not to be harmed out of spite. If you have any quarrels with what i have done, I reside in a temple in the Everfree forest and welcome all who would like to speak, or in a pocket dimension outside of the space time continuum. So if any of you wish to face the sheer power of a god, feel free to come by.
"I can FEEL him smirking on that last bit." Meowsie commented.
"Goodbye for now, though I doubt this will be the last you hear of me, and peace to you all."
As the mental transmission broke, Kylee realized what Arceus had said about Pokemon who "went through changes". He was talking about Her, and by the sound of it, the good humans of Earth.
"Well..." Muttered Dash. "This just got a lot more interesting."
"What... Was... That..." Flare murmured. "Was that... Your GOD?!"
Kylee nodded. "Yeah, but up until now i thought he was just a myth. Guess not... Hmm..."
"We HAVE to go talk to him! Like, NOW! The Everfree isn't far from here." Flare said excitedly. "We can make it to ponyville by sundown and go there tomorrow. Lets go everyone!"
"Flare has always been interested in aliens." Rainstorm sighed. "And since your from another planet, your technically aliens to us... so yeah..."
Kylee grunted and headed off to the door. "Come on guys. Lets go and,' She gulped. "Talk to a god."
A New World, A Confusing New Way
Proloug:
Kylee jumped out of her bed, smiling. "Time to get down to training!" She thought happily. She packed her stuff, got dressed, and ran out of the Pokemon center.
"Let's do this!" She yelled. "Go Freedom, Moonlight, Velvet, Meowzie, Dash, and Lassie!"
The Swellow, Umbreon, Ninetails, Meowstic, Rapidash, and Lapras all came out of their pokeballs.
"Ready to train?" Kylee asked.
"Yeah!" The Pokemon shouted, though in their own language so that all Kylee heard was a mixture of cries.
"Alright! Lassie, Meowsie, you two will work on Physical Attack, since you lack in it. Dash, Velvet, work on powering up your fire-type moves. Freedom, Moonlight, you two train in accuracy, Moonlight attacking, Freedom dodging. Alright team, let's go!"
As the Pokemon got to work in their teams on the battlefield by the center, Kylee walked into the pokemart by that Pokecenter to stock up on pokeballs and healing items. She bought 25 Great Balls, 10 revives, and 35 Hyper Potions. It took a lot from her savings, but she wouldn't be stopping again for a while, so she had to stock up.
The put the items in her bag and began to walk out of the Pokemart when she saw several people randomly collapse. She panicked, running towards them before collapsing herself. The last thing that went through her mind was "Rest now, my children, for when you awake, a whole new world shall be your home..."
A New World, A Confusing New Way
Kylee opened her eyes. She still felt groggy and tired, but someone was shaking her arm, trying to wake her up.
"Five more minutes mom..." Kylee mumbled.
She was met with a Flamethrower to the face.
"Alright, alright, I'm up!!" She yelled, leaping to her feet. She saw Dash standing in front of her, glaring needles in her direction.
"Dash? Everything okay?"
"Who are you? What have you done with Kylee? How do you know my name?"
Dash charged up for another Flamethrower.
"Hey! Calm down! I am Kylee! Look at me!" Kylee yelled, shocked that she could understand Dash.
Kylee held her hands in front of her face, then saw what they were and almost screamed. She stood up, noticing she was significantly shorter than before she passed out.
"W-WHAT HAPPENED?!?" Kylee shrieked. "Why do I have PAWS instead of HANDS! And why are they BLACK?!"
Dash stared at Kylee questioningly. "Let's take you to Meowsie. He will know if your really Kylee or not." She growled.
Kylee stood up (more like crawled) and followed Dash to a clearing in the woods. It was small, and the only other Pokemon there was Meowsie, the Meowstic.
"Meowsie." Called Dash. "This Umbreon claims to be Kylee. Can you search her mind to prove it?"
The Meowstic looked up from his meditating. "Of corse, my lady." He said formally. The dark blue cat walked over to Kylee, placing his paws on her forehead.
"This might hurt a little bit." The physic type said.
Kylee felt a slight twinge in her brain as Meowstic delved into my thoughts. He searched through her brain before pulling out and nodding.
"Dash, my lady, there is no doubt this is Kylee."
Dash gasped. "But how! That's an Umbreon, not Kylee!"
"I don't know, my lady, all I know is that that is Kylee."
Dash looked at Kylee with a sorry face, then ran to her and gave her a hug. "I'm so sorry Kylee! I-I don't know what happened! We just collapsed and when I woke up we were in the forest and I couldn't find you and I freaked out and-"
"Can't... BREATHE!" Kylee coughed out.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" Dash said, leaping back.
Kylee took a deep breath before speaking again. "Okay... So where are we?" She asked.
"I'm not sure..." Dash mumbled. "But I think we should find the others. They could help. Especially Freedom."
Kylee nodded. "Let's send the signal then."
