A Whole New World

A teen trudged through the thick forest. The leaves brushed against his face. One of the many downsides of being a city boy was that he never had much experience with this kind of thing. Exploring? Clearly not for him. Walking for hours on end wasn't very pleasant, and he could still feel the ache in his legs from the day before. So every time his clothes got caught in the endless sea of branches and bushes, it irritated him to no end.

"Bleh!" He stopped grumbling to spit out the bug that had flew into his mouth. "If I have to spit out one more stinking bug, I'm gonna burn this forest down!" He angrily waved a fist in the air.

It was obvious that the teenager was pissed. He always had difficulty keeping his temper in check, since he could easily be irritated. Usually, he would respond harshly to things or those around him whenever his temper rose, like right now.

"Bleh!” He spat out another bug. “Tepig ember!" Trevor yelled, pointing towards the forest that had the audacity to annoy him. The nerve of this forest! Doesn’t it know to not mess with me?!

A creature that resembled an orange pig emerged from a bush behind the teen.

“Tepig,” it croaked weakly. Then the creature laid down on its stomach. Its short legs splayed out underneath.

“Come on boy! There’s no time to rest now! We still have to find another Pokémon!” Trevor nudged the exhausted Pokemon with a foot. “Get up!”

Tepig looked at him with begging eyes. “Tep–”

“No! Stop that!” Trevor exclaimed.

He turned his head and brought a hand to block his view of the worn-out creature. His anger had immediately dissipated once he glanced at those adorable eyes.

“Tepig…” the Pokémon croaked again.

He just couldn’t help himself anymore, these creatures would always find someway through his typical hard demeanor. And he loved them for it, which absolutely made no sense to him.

“Alright buddy,” Trevor relented. He crouched and lifted Tepig off the forest floor.

He fished around in his pocket and brought out Tepig's Pokéball. He pushed the button and Tepig vanished in a flash of red light.

“I guess I'll just have to go on this alone,” Trevor said sadly.

He turned around to continue his wandering around the forest, where he found and captured one of the rarest Pokémon ever known to mankind, and became one of the best Pokémon trainers in the world.

At least, that’s what Trevor hoped would happen. But Fate in his world thought his idea was so conventional, and it decided to introduce his face to the earth. So what really happened was…

“WOAH!”

As soon as Trevor turned around, he tripped over something – a rock judging by its large size – where his face promptly said, “Hello earth!” and blacked out.

Twilight rubbed her head heartily. The ground sure was hard, more so than that rock Pinkie Pie had accidentally placed in her party cannon. The purple alicorn's vision was blurry; all she could make out was some green and brown figures.

“Ugh… What happened?” she groaned.

Once Twilight was sure there were no birds flying circles around her head, she took in her surroundings. There were trees surrounding her, bushes

Immediately, she noticed two important things. One, she was in a dense forest. Two, there was something off about it, but she couldn’t place her hoof on what it was. The magical aura of the place felt... different. It felt more like the Everfree Forest, but subdued.

Twilight tried to recall exactly what happened before she lost consciousness, but nothing of recent events came up to her mind. She could feel pain in her horn, so perhaps there was a magical mishap? Misteleportation? The curious pony needed more information.

She got off her belly to inspect the forest. For all she knew, she could be in a different region of the Everfree, which would probably explain why the place felt more subdued. She gasped as a horrific thought occurred to her. What if I’m on the other side of the world! Twilight began to pace, just didn’t know.

Well, I’ll need more information about this place if I want to determine where I am. She trotted towards the nearest plant she could find. It looked like a small tree with blueberries, but they were encased in leaves similar to corn. I don’t think this is the Everfree. I've never seen this type of fruit before, at least, I think it’s a fruit. In fact, I’ve never seen this in any of my books!

She was snapped out of her thoughts as she heard a small proud voice behind her.

"Snivy!"

Twilight zipped around and craned her neck at the strange creature in front of her.

Most of its body was green with a whitish underside. A yellow stripe ran down the length of its back and tail, and it had yellow markings around its large eyes. Two curved yellow structures that resemble leaves or small wings protruded from its shoulders and bend backwards. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail.

Twilight rubbed her eyes and looked at it again. The purple alicorn was starting to freak out.

"What the buck are you?" She yelled at it. It tilted its head to the side questionably, implying intelligence. She backed slowly away from it, and then turned and ran the opposite direction, screaming all the way.

Suddenly, she ran into something blue and tripped over a black rock with white stripes on it.
She yelped and stumbled onto her face. The big rock she tripped on suddenly fell on her and knocked the breath out of her. She gasped for air under the surprisingly soft rock and struggled for dear life. Unfortunately, Twilight couldn't find her breath or her way out. She gasped one last time before the lights went out.
