Chapter 2: Rainbows of (Not so much) Hope

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Yelling could be heard over the sound of a creek.

"Rarity is not some kind of fox, you phony!"

"Rainbow, you've changed too! Don't you think it makes sense that the portal did something to us?"

Rainbow was silent as she looked down at her new body. Somehow, she had become an orange lizard with a rainbow-colored flame at the end of her tail. Her stomach was the same color as her fur had been before she went through the portal. Maybe a few shades lighter.

"Please, Rainbow." A cream colored fox, Rarity, said. "It's shocking, but we've both changed. Can we focus on finding the others? Please?"

Rainbow looked down in shame. "Sorry Rarity. I was... Worried." She admitted.

Rarity smiled and sat down, opening her arms for a hug. Rainbow accepted, but couldn't help touching the purple fur that came from her ears. It was so soft...

Rarity laughed and pulled back. "Now. Lets find the others, shall we?"

"Lets go!" Rainbow said, spreading her wings to fly... only to remember that she didn't have any. "Well, horseapples..."

"We go on hoof! Or... paw? Nevermind, lets go." Rarity said, walking along the creek. It began to widen until it became a river.

"What's that?" Rainbow asked, pointing in the direction of what looked to be a group pointed roofs.

"A town! Maybe the others landed there. Lets go!" Rarity said, bounding gracefully to the houses.

Rainbow ran forward, easily keeping pace, and they eventually stopped at the front gate of a small village. The duo walked in, hoping to see some ponies, but found that the town seemed to be empty.

"Um... Hello?" Rainbow called out.

A head poked out of one of the buildings. "Hey! Never seen you around before." The creature said, walking forward. A small group of other animals followed after it. "We say that big thing appear in the sky, so we all decided to hide until it was gone. Did you see it?"

"See it?" Rainbow asked.

"Did it happen to be blue and purple?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah!" One of the animals said.

"We came from it." Rainbow said. "Our friend was casting a spell and we got sent here. We're... kinda lost."

The animals were quiet for a second, before one in the back spoke up.

"A-Are you... Aliens?"

"What? No!" Rarity shouted as the town began to panic. They looked at the duo fearfully, as if expecting them to turn in to giant hydra and eat them all in one bite,

"We just need to find our friends and figure out how to get home." Rainbow said. "We aren't here to eat anyone, or anything."

"Well, what do these friends look like?" Asked another animal.

"We... umm... We normally look different than this, but..." Rarity started.

"The portal somehow changed what we are. It probably did the same to our friends, too." Rainbow finished.

"Portal? From where?" One animal spoke up.

"Equestria. Speaking of which, where are we?"

"Oh, so sorry about that." The lead animal spoke up. "Welcome to Serene Village, on the Water Continent! My name is Drench the Simipour, principal of the local school. And, what are your names?"

After introducing themselves, Rarity and Rainbow proceeded to tell the tale of what had happened, starting from being invited to test the spell to their meet with the creatures, now revealed to be called "Pokemon", while Drench shared information on the inner workings of pokemon, including types, attacks, and matchups.

"Quite a tale, indeed." Drench nodded as they finished. "However, I see one problem."

"What's that?" Rarity asked.

"Well, the 'spell' seemed to transform you into pokemon. However, you don't look like normal pokemon. For instance, Rainbow Dash's species, Charmander, normally has a cream belly and a normal, red or orange flame on its tail. And Fennekin is usually yellow, with red-orange fur in place of your purple. Only a few pokemon have different color patterns, which we call Shiny Pokemon, but your colors don't match up to a shiny pokemon's color scheme. A Charmander would turn yellow, while a Fennekin would be silver."

Rarity nodded. "Well, these colors match more closely to our old forms. Rainbow was light blue with a rainbow mane and tail, and i was white, with my mane and tail being the same purple as my ear tufts."

"Well, that makes sense." Drench nodded. "Well, if you don't have any idea what to do now, you're welcome to enroll in the local school, if you'd like to learn more about your new selves. Until then, we can help you search for your friends. Anything you can tell us to help find them?"

Rainbow nodded. "Well, if we're anything to go by, they will probably be different colors than the normal Pokemon versions of them. That would probably be a dead giveaway."

"Of course." Drench nodded. "So, will you be enrolling in the school in the meantime?"

Rainbow muttered to herself. "School? Ugh. That's EGGHEAD stuff."

Rarity sighed. "We both will enroll, mister Drench. Thank you for the invitation."

Drench nodded and stood up. "I'll get you enrolled right now, then. School starts in about a week. I'll see you soon."

Once Drench was out of hearing range, Rainbow turned to Rarity. "Why the hay did you do that? I don't wanna go to some school!"

"Rainbow, darling," Rarity said. "We need to learn about this place if we are to do anything here. A school is the best way to do that."

Rainbow let out a long, exaggerated sigh. "Fine. I'll go to the stupid school."

Rarity nodded. "Now, lets see about us getting a place to stay."


They're alive, Father.

Good. Ensure it stays that way, but do not interfere. We must let this play out as destiny has foretold We may have tampered too much already.

I understand, Father.
