With New Darkness Comes New Light

     Ella opened her eyes and streached. Her head hurt like she had been hit by a Cross-Chop, and her whole body felt odd and distorted. She tried to stand up and instantly fell over. She tried again, and got the same result. She tried one last time, and noticed that her back was being weighed down by something. Looking over her shoulder, she noticed she had something she never thought she would see.

     A large, brown and white tail. The tail of an Eevee.

     It took all of Ella's willpower to not pass out again. Instead, she let out her fear in a loud, terrified scream. Her normally calm demenor had entirely vanished, and she was more confused than she had ever been in her life. Ella looked down at her hands and saw, not normal human hands, but small brown paws, one of which had a pearl braclet on it with a hole where her keystone had been before. She checked her entire self over, and was able to confirm that she had, in fact, turned in to an Eevee. She also noticed that her Pokeballs containing her pokemon and her bag had all vanished.

     "How in the name of Arceus did this happen?!" Ella shreiked.

     There was a wooshing sound behind Ella. She turned around and saw what she could only descirbe as a red ponyta with a gold, non-fire mane. The wierdest part was that it had wings.

     "Are you okay, little guy?" The Ponyta cooed. "Are you lost? I heard a scream, and came here."

     Ella scowled. "I'll have you know that I am a girl! But... yes, im lost..."

     "Whats does 'Ee eevee eev eevee eevee, eev, ee eevee' mean?" The red ponyta asked.

     Ellas eyes instantly snapped up at the ponyta in shock. "Y-You can't understand me?!" She asked worridly. "But, all pokemon can understand each other? Does that mean your not a pokemon?"

     The ponyta scooped up Ella in his hooves. "You seem lost and confused, little one." He said. "Dont worry, I will get you to my campsite and give you some food."

     As if on que, Ellas stomach growled. "I forgot," She mumbled. "I haven't eaten since this morning."

     The ponyta laughed a little bit and flew off in what seemed like a random direction. after a few minutes, he swooped down and landed in a small clearing in the grass. In the middle was a tent and the remains of a camp fire.

     The winged ponyta set Ella down on the ground and trotted in to the tent, comming out with two plates of food balancing on his wings.

     "Here you go, little guy." He smiled. "Eat up. Theres an apple, two small oranges, and a bananna. I don't know what you normally eat, but judging by your teeth id say you at least had some meat in your diet."

     He sat for a few seconds before what he said had fully processed. "Oh my gosh! Y-You eat meat! Please, don't eat me! Wait, you too cute to eat me. Oh what am I going to do?! I brought a carnivor to my camp! Storm is going to kill me for this!"

     Before the ponyta could contiue, a loud, hawk like shriek was heard from above. Ella looked up and saw a large, red and white bird with a flame-like pattern.

     "Talonstrike!" Ella yelled. "Down here!"

     The Talonflame dove down, then hovered over Ella in a threatining pose.

     "Who are you, and how do you know my name?" He cawed, glaring down at her. Ella looked up at him fiercly, not backing down an inch.

     "Its me, I'm Ella! I don't know what happened, but I turned in to an Eevee!" She said, worried that Talonstrike might atack. Talonstrike glared down at her before finally believing her and giving her a hug with his large wings.

     The ponyta finally came to his senses and looked at the large fire bird. "Do... Do you know this bird, little... fox creature?"

     Ella nodded, continuing her talk with Talonstrike. "This... thing here apperently isnt a pokemon." She said. "He can't understand me, but I can understand him."

     Talonstrike looked at the the winged ponyta, lanidng on the ground. "Thank you for helping my trainer, winged ponyta."  He said, though all the ponyta heard was the Talonflames cry. He took it the wrong way, and backed up. "P-Please, I didn't hurt your friend!" He said. "D-Don't hurt me, please!"

     Ella giggled, finding it funny that the Ponyta thought that Talonstrikes thank you was a threat. Before she could inturrupt, however, a blue blur came down from the sky and slammed in to Talonstrike, pinning him down. Ella saw that it was another winged ponyta, however this one was blue with a grey mane and tail. The mane and tail style was also different, and the it looked more like a girl.

     "What are you doing, threatining my coltfriend, you stupid bird!" the blue Ponyta yelled. Her voice confirmed that she was in fact a girl.

     "Calm down, blue ponyta!" Yelled Ella, leaping up and trying to knock the ponyta off of her friend. However, she was too light to do anything more than distract her. But that was all the chance Talonstrike needed. He pushed the blue ponyta off of himself, spreading his wings and taking to the air.

     "Flame Charge!" He yelled. The flames surrounded him, making him even more intimidating. The new pony took a step back before Ella called Talonstrike off.

     "Thats enough, you big bird. Get down here."

     Talonstrike ended the attack, flying down and landing behind Ella. The two ponytas looked at her feafully. Despite being small and fluffy, she had just called off the bird, like she owned it. A bird that had light itself on FIRE!

     "Who are you?" the blue ponyta asked.

     "I," Ella said. "Am Ella Cordon."
