"Umm... Hello? A-Are you okay?"

The voice stirred Twilight out of her sleep. She looked up and saw some kind of blue... salamander? Fish? She didn't know what it was. It had little cheek pouches that were a cream yellow, with a light pink tail. Cream... and light pink... and a gentle, caring voice...

"Fluttershy?" Twilight asked, pushing herself in to a sitting position.

"T-Twilight?" Fluttershy asked, startled. "Oh thank goodness. It IS you!"

"What do you mean? Of course its me!"

"Umm... well..." Fluttershy said, looking just above Twilight.

"What? Is there something in my mane?" Twilight asked, reaching up a hoof to feel her mane... only to see that she didnt have a hoof.

"Gahhh!" She screamed, falling backwards. She stood quickly and looked at herself. "What am I, some kind of green dinosaur?" She exclaimed.

"I... think so?" Fluttershy said, worried. "Twilight... theres a leaf... on your head..."

Twilight flipped her head around to face Fluttershy, resulting on a giant leaf bigger than twilight herself falling into her view. Twilight tried to swat it off, but it stayed there.

"I think its attached to you." Fluttershy said, reaching up on her hind legs and batting at the leaf. It stayed firmly atop Twilights head.

"Yeah, seems like it." Twilight said, taking a look around and accidently smacking fluttershy with the leaf. "Where are we?"

Fluttershy dropped down to all fours and looked around as well. "I have no idea..."

A large city could be seen in the distance, with lots of blurry figures moving around in it.

"Should we go see what's over there?" Fluttershy asked.

"YEAH! Lets go!" A familiar high pitched voice said from behind them.

The two turned around and saw a yellow mouse, with a lightning bolt shaped tail. Its cheeks, ear tips, back stripes, and tail base were all varying shades of pink, and its eyes had light blue highlights.

"Pinkie? Is that you?" Twilight asked.

"Yuppedy yupers! Its me, all right! At least... I think so. What if I'm not me? I could be a spyyyyyy!"

Twilight face... pawd? "Yeah, its you alright, Pinkie."

Pinkie Pie smiled and bounced up before floating down as if she was paper in a breeze. "Lets go to that town!"

Twilight shook her head, but raced after Pinkie Pie all the same, leaving Fluttershy to run at the end of the pack.


When the trio arrived at the town, they saw dozens of strange creatures wandering the streets and doing normal things such as shopping and caring for children. Twilight approached what appeared to be a shop, but found that the tent was empty.

"Hawlucha is out, a the moment." A voice spoke up.

Twilight, Fluttershy, and Pinkie all turned towards the voice at the same moment. Standing there was a small, orange rodent with a long black tail and large black ears. Fluttershy rushed forward, grabbing the little mouse in her paws.

""Oh, aren't you just the cutest thing!" She squeed.

The mouse seemed to not like the treatment at all, and squirmed out of Fluttershy's grasp.

"Why does everyone always do that..." He muttered. "Anyways, Hawlucha is out right now, if you were looking for him."

"Oh no, we weren't." Twilight answered, stepping forward. "See, we've... never been to this part of the world before. We're a little lost. Do you know of a way we can get a map or something of the sort?"

"Of corse I do! Follow me, I'll show you." The mouse said, turning around. "I'm Chief the Dedenne, by the way. What about you?"

"I'm Twilight. And these are my friends, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie." Twilight introduced.

"Nice to meet you three. Ah, here we are." Chief said, approaching a large building at the end of a side road.

"What is this place?" Pinkie asked.

"Welcome to the Expedition Society HQ! Where we work to make a map of the world and help pokemon in need!" Chief said.

"We?" Twilight said with a tilt of her head.

"Follow me. I'll show you to the map." Chief said, walking in to the building. "You'll probably meet the others on the way there, anyways."

They entered in to a main lobby, where an orange otter and a multicolored bird were talking.

"Ah, Jet, Razor. Hello there." Dedenne greeted. "These are Jet and Razor, the Buizel and Archen." Chief said to the group.

"Hi, Chief! Who's the newcomers?" Asked the orange otter, Jet.

"They're visiting the area for the first time, and were a bit lost. I'm letting them check out the map." Chief answered.

Jet nodded. "Welcome to Lively Town, folks. What are your names?"


The rest of the walk through the base continued in much the same manner, and soon the trio had met the whole Expedition Society. Chief led the three to the center room, where a large, holographic map sat in the center.

"And here is the map. Its not a complete map of the world, but our job is to help others and make a map of the world in the process. So, where are you from?"

At this point, Twilight knew that Equestria wasn't on this map. The world seemed so... different. There was no way that this was Eqqus. She sighed. She knew she had to tell the truth.

"We're not on this map."

Chief frowned. "An incomplete portion of the map, perhaps?"

Twilight shook her head. "No. We're not from this world. We're, in all senses of the word, aliens to this place."

Chief sighed and looked up one of the staircases. "Star!" He called out.

Down came a small... goblin? It was floating in the air, and had three points on its large yellow head. Two yellow capes(?) flowed out from behind it, and it had three blue rectangles hanging from its head.

Twilight wished she had her notebook to write down everything she saw.

"Whaaaaaaat do you need, Chief?" Star asked mid-yawn.

"Mind read. See if this one is telling the truth. She says she and her friends are actual aliens. You're a psychic, and an expert in stars and planets, so I'll leave this to you."

Chief turned and walked off, headed to the left where she smell of food wafted from.

"Aliens, huh?" Star asked. "Okay then. I'll have to read your mind. Please, don't resist. It will make it painful."

Twilight stepped back cautiously. "Will it hurt if I don't resist?"

Star shook its head. "Nope. It will hardly be noticeable if you allow access."

Twilight sat down and gave a small nod. "Alright then... go ahead."


They're seperated, Father. They will need guidance to come together again.

No. They can come together on their own. Destiny will bring them to meet.

Are you sure it is safe, Father?

Palkia, I've already told you. I don't know. I was desperate...

I'm sorry, Father. I understand. Shall I leave you for now?

Yes, please do, son.

As you wish.
