A Whole New World We Live In

Chapter 4

Twilight walked through the dirt path of Post Treasure Town with Spike sitting on her back. She levitated the town map to her face, trying to find the town's library. She scanned the map, searching an image of a library and the label under it. She smiled once she found what she was looking for and started to head towards her destination.

"Uh, Twilight? Where are we going?" Asked Spike.

"We're going to the Pokemon Library, Spike." She replied as she levitated her town map into her new bag that she received from the mayor.

Spike groaned at this. Of course they were going to the library. When it came to new information of a place or subject, she cannot turn it away and must learn everything about it. Spike looked at the excited pony and sighed at this, he knew he would be in there for hours.

"I should of known you would go there. Can't we just explore the town first?" Spike asked with hope. The lavender princess rolled her eyes and kept walking towards her destination.

"But Spike, Don't you want to learn about their culture, what they do? Or even the types they had mention?!" Twilight asked with pleading eyes. Spike just groaned at this. Twilight noticed this and sighed, she couldn't keep him in there for hours. She also noticed that he looked very annoyed at the idea.

"Tell you what Spike, since you have been a very good dragon lately. I'll let you go see the town, while I go study more about Pokemon?" She decided.

"Really?! You mean it?!" Asked Spike, pretty excited to see this place for himself.

Twilight giggled and nodded, and just like that; Spike hopped off of Twilight's back and sprinted off to whatever destination Spike was headed. Twilight giggled and shook her head, the dragon never ceased to amaze her. She turned her head and noticed that she arrived at the library. It was a tall crystal blue building, similar the crystal castle only not made out of crystals. Twilight entered the library and noticed it was books everywhere. The interior was also a blue color and the books were neatly shelved in alphabetical order.  She looked at the librarian who was a Alakazam. The Alakazam smiled and walked up to the princess of friendship.

"Hello, welcome to the Pokemon Library"

Applejack trotted through the apple forest, admiring the delicious apples that hung from the tree. She smiled and walked up to one of them, inspecting it. She took a sniff and poked it a few times to see if is some of kind of apple Pokemon. Satisfied with her results, she took a bite and her eyes immediately went wide eyed. The taste of the apple was much sweeter than the apples from Sweet Apple Acres, but she'll never admit that. Granny Smith would bopped her one good just for uttering those words right out of her mouth.

"Woo Wee! These apples are mighty delicious!" Applejack commented. She looked around and noticed some different apples. Some apple was about as big as her head and the other apples were about the size as her brother, Big Macintosh. Applejack's eyes widen even more from the size of the apples. She shook her head and continued walking, deciding to go back to the big apples later.

"Wow. Them apples are HUGE!! Now, all I need is to find me a perfect tree and buck me some apples." She grinned as she begin her search. Little did she know she was being watched. Three Beedrill were in the trees, glaring at the intruder. The three Beedrill nodded to each other and headed towards the orange mare, ready to give her a lesson.

The apple mare smiled and kept walking down the pathway in the forest. She had an distinct feeling she was being followed. Little did she know, her suspicious were correct. Suddenly, the gang of Beedrill blocked the apple farmer's path. Applejack looked at the three Pokemon in confusion and glared at them for a bit. Something didn't feel right with them and this whole situation, Applejack prepared herself for the worse.

"Well...You're an odd creature? What kind of Pokemon are you?" Asked the middle Beedrill which she assumed is the leader. He was green colored, while his lackeys were yellow. That confused the element of honesty.

'Why do they have different colors? That's weird' She thought.

"Hey! I'm talking to you weird deformed Pokemon thing." The Beedrill insulted.

"Mah name is Applejack, and I am pony! Didn't ya'll heard the news about us movin' in?" She asked with a hint of irritation in her voice. The Beedrill growled at this and then begin to smirk, the other Beedrill begin to circle around her like Sharpedo ready to attack their pray.

"Well I'm Sting! And this Needle and Toxic! And we're the Beedrill gang! We own this place and this is our turf! But see you are new here. I'll give you a headstart!" Sting grinned. Toxic and Needle giggled grimly with the lead Beedrill. Applejack begin to chuckle and looked up to the shiny Pokemon and grinned.

"Better yet! I'll do this!" She said as she reared her hind legs and gave a powerful buck to Toxic who was right behind. She heard a satisfying thud and a groaned of pain. Using this as her chance, she sprinted further down the dirt path of the forest.

"AFTER HER!!" Sting shouted as he and his lackeys chased after the running mare.

Rainbow Dash walked through the town and sighed. She looked through job to job, but couldn't find one that said "her". Scootaloo had gone with her friends doing Celestia knows what. She sighed and shook her head, those three are probably causing some harmless trouble as she speak. However, it didn't cheer her up. The prismatic mare was still down that her chances of becoming a wonderbolt was pretty slim and it was all that tree's fault.

"Ugh! Stupid Tree! Blowing up my home like that! What the buck!" Rainbow cursed. She gazed at the ponies and Pokemon enjoying each others company. It was crazy too her, they find the last key; which Discord had all along. They defeat Tirek and the world decided to blow up on them. This Arceus guy saved them all and brought them all into this world. Such a lot has happened lately, and it is not like she hated the place. She just misses her dreams and her home.

"Ugh...What now?"

"You could always work in the guild?" Suggested an disembodied voice. She looked around, searching for the voice.

"Over here" The voice called. She looked to her left and saw a shiny Gallade with an orange tattered scarf around his neck eating ramen at the Slowbro Ramen Stand. She walked up to the Pokemon and sat on one of the pink stools and looked at the Gallade while he ate his food.

"You talking to me?" Asked Rainbow Dash.

The Gallade finished his ramen and nodded. He cleaned his mouth with a napkin and looked at the pony "Yup. The names Gene and I was thinking maybe you should have a rescue team." He suggested.

Rainbow Dash was confused at this, guild and rescue team. Just what in the world of Pokemon is he talking about?

"I'm Rainbow Dash. And rescue team? guild? What do you mean?" Asked the prismatic mare.

Gene chuckled and begin his explanation. "Well. I mean, in the guild called the Wigglytuff Guild . It's a first class guild for exploration teams to train to become first rate."

It sounded boring at first to the element of loyalty, but she was willing to know more.

"What are exploration teams? And what do they do? Please tell me it ain't anything boring!" Rainbow pleaded.

Gene shook his head and walked out of the ramen stand, not before paying for his meal. He sat his change onto the counter for the Slowbro to come pick it up. He smiled to the pony and walked down the dirt path up ahead.

"Weeell. I was gonna go home and meet up with my fiancee. But, I guess I could show you what rescue teams are and what they do. And to answer your last question. No, they are NOT boring" He grinned. The pony grinned as well and followed the Gallade.

"Next stop. Wigglytuff Guild" Gene said.

Fluttershy was currently in a daycare office talking to a Chansey. The place she is in is called Chansey's Day Care. The daycare takes watches baby Pokemon and hatch eggs for others. Fluttershy thought it was a great idea to watch over a few Pokemon and eggs. It will give her some time to get to know the many species of them.

"And that's why I want the job. Mrs Lucky Egg. I mean...if that's ok with you....." Fluttershy said.

Mrs. Lucky Egg thought it through and looked at the yellow pegasus. She seemed to be a kind and loving mare who will take good care of the little ones. She narrowed her eyes onto the pony one more and then gave her a huge smile.

"Very well then dear! You got the job! I can see that you'll do just fine. However, if you hurt those little ones or lied to me. You'll get a double slap so hard it will be pony effective!" She threaten.

Fluttershy nodded with a nervous smile, Mrs Lucky Egg sighed a breath of relief and hugged the yellow mare.

"Welcome to the Daycare Fluttershy!"

Applejack ran as fast as her hooves could carry her, but the Beedrill were gaining on her. She grunted and ran faster but stopped at a dead which was a tree filled with golden apples. Applejack was amazed by the color and look of the dazzling apples. She would had taken a bite of one if she wasn't being chased by those pesky Pokemon.

"Poison Sting!" Sting shouted out as he shot out a poison needle out of his mouth. Applejack barely had enough time to dodge the attack, unfortunately it hit her leg and she fell down in a thud. Suddenly, her hind leg started to become purple.

"M-Mah leg?..Wh-What did ya do to me?!" Demanded the apple farmer with a glare.

The three Beedrill laughed at the pained element of honesty and hovered over her watching her groaning and fading in and out of consciousness.

"It's Poison Sting. It's an attack that has a 30% chance of poisoning any target." Sting informed.

"Hahaha! That's for hitting me, ya stupid ponyta!" Toxic comment with a grin.

Applejack growled at the damn Beedrill who are now pointing their spear like stingers towards her. She winced in pain and closed her eyes waiting for the impact. There was no way she could defend herself now.

"It's over pony! Ready Boys! TRIPLE POISON JAB!!!" Sting shouted out as the gang of Beedrill charged towards the pained pony. She had her eyes closed, ready for the impact to come.

"THUNDERBOLT!!" A voice shouted out as a bolt of lightning shot out and struck the gang of Beedrill. Sting growled as an arrival of Luxray appeared in front of the pony. Applejack looked at the Pokemon and noticed he had a black ranger hat and a badge with "Ranger of Apple Forest" engraved into it. He glared at the three Beedrill who only coward in fear, well only two of them except for Sting who just growled at the Luxray.

"You again?!" Sting asked.

"I thought I told you buzzing bastards to stay out of the forest? Don't you know you're trespassing private property? " He asked.

Applejack summoned some of her remaining strength and stood up woobly, must of been the effects of the poison sting. She glared at the Beedrill for attacking her just for being here. She then looked at the Luxray, which she assumed is the ranger of the forest. She knew how he felt about unwelcoming poachers on her farm.

"P-Pardon me sir? But who are ya?" Asked the apple mare.

The Luxray looked at her for a brief second and then moved his eyes to her purple leg. He shook his head and glared harder at the three Beedrill.

"You should just sit down and relax. Don't move too much. And my name? The name is Light and I'm the ranger of this forest." He introduced.
