A Rough Start

"I won't let you take them!" I yell as the journey started on a foul note when a random Pokemon trainer tries to catch me and the CMC. The trainer had already sent out his Pokemon, Manectric and were both ready to battle. The CMC were huddled up behind me scared of the trainer and his Pokemon. I told the CMC that I would protect them and I will. The Manetric runs at me and bites me with electrified fangs. The electrical charge was starting to paralyze me, but I use flamethrower on Manetric. He releases me and jumps back haveing been burned from the fire, "Run! Get out of here!" I yell and the CMC scatter.

"Manetric, use electro ball!" The trainer ordered. His Pokemon then launched a ball of electricity at me. I use flame burst to counter, the attacks collide and cancel each other out, but the explosion sent searing flames in all directions. I was unharmed from the flames and Manetric was hurt,"Don't give up, Manetric, use thunderbolt!" He yelled and the Manetric discharged electricity launching a bolt of lightning. I use flamethrower, but I couldn't move from paralysis from the thunder fang. The attack lands violently shocking me causing me to collapse to the ground, "Alright, let's wrap this up, go Pokeball!" He shouts throwing a red and white orb at me, but instead of being captured the Pokeball bounced off of me and did nothing. The trainer and his Pokemon were both in shock from the failure of the Pokeball, as I then feel a great rush of power and heat as my blaze ability activated increasing the power of my fire type attacks when in trouble. I assumed that the Pokeball failed because I'm a human that was turned into a Pokemon and Pokeballs won't work on humans. I stand up and unleash a massive fire blast attack with a boost of power from my ability. The fireball hit Manetric causing a massive explosion sending him flying. Manetric fell to the ground with a thud and was unable to battle, "Manetric, you did well, now take a rest," The trainer says pulling a Pokeball out of his pocket and returning his fainted Pokemon.

"I won, now leave!" I snarl at the trainer scaring him away. I then limp away to try to find the CMC but the paralysis caused me to completely stop moving for short periods of time at random intervals. Thier sister's are going to kill me if I lost them. I think to myself as I call out their names. I then come across a small bush covered in red berries and these weren't normal berries. These were cheri berries with if consumed made Pokemon recover from paralysis. I eat several of the spicy berries from the bush and I was no longer slowed by paralysis, but I was still badly hurt.

"HELP!!!" I hear Scootaloo's voice cry out followed by loud screeching noises. I race off towards the source of the noise as fast as my legs can take me. I then see Scootalloo who was running away from a massive brown bird with a long neck and a long, skinny,  and sharp beak who was desperately trying to make a meal out of the flightless filly. I then run in front of Scootaloo and tell her to duck as I use flamethrower. The Pokemon flew right into the fire dealing a great deal of damage stopping it in its tracks.

"Scootaloo get behind me," I tell Scootaloo, but not too close I don't want to burn you with the flames on my back."

"Fearow!" The Pokemon screeched as Scootaloo took cover behind me. The Fearow then  flapped its wings and launched razor-like winds at us. I create a shield with protect blocking the attack leaving me unharmed. I quickly retaliate by launching a barrage of fireballs at the Pokemon in quick succession. Fearow dodged all of them with ease due to its speed. It then flies straight at me while doing an aileron roll using its beak as a drill. I draw in the attack before blasting a pillar of lava out of the spots on my head right before it was able to land the attack, "Fearow!" The Pokemon cried out as it was launched back from the pillar of lava and then fleeing.

"Are you okay?" I ask Scootaloo as the flames on my back go out, "Where are the others?"

"I'm okay now," she says,"I don't know where the other are, but I don't think they have gotten too far," We then continue to look for the others. About an hour passes and we haven't found any sign of the others and the sun was getting low in the sky. I then noticed a large bush covered in oran berries, "What are those, Quilava?"

"Oran berries, try one," I say plucking a berry and handing one to her, "I'm glad we found these because these berries are able to heal a Pokemon's wounds, and that's just what I needed."

Scootaloo tries a berry but instantly gets a disgusted expression on her face and spits out the berry, "Yuck, it's all bitter and sour," She says gagging, "How are you able to eat these?" she asks as I eat one berry after the next.

"I know that they don't taste good, but I'd eat anything," I explain as all of my wounds heal from eating the berries, "where do you think we should look for the others?" I then ask her.

"I already found Sweetie Bell," Scootaloo tells me as she slowly backs away looking up into the trees around us. I look up and see a large spider web covered in Ariodoses, spider-like Pokemon that were about four feet long, and had a single horn on their heads which can deliver strong poisons. I also then see Sweetie Bell who was almost completely encased in webbing. Two launch thin but extremely strong silk lines at me and Scootaloo. The sticky silk tied both of us together back to back and then the Ariodoses hoisted us into the web, "Quilava, melt the web!" Scootaloo yells in fear.

"No, you're stuck to my back and would be fried," I explain to her, "Sweetie Bell are you okay?" I then ask Sweetie Bell and am only replied with muffled sounds explaining why we didn't find her sooner. An Ariodos walks up to me while it was hissing at me and was about to stab me with its poisonous horn.

"Chikorita," I hear a voice say, "cut the web with razor leaf!" Then sharp edged leafs flew at the web cutting it to shreds causing all of us to fall out o the web. I land on my back and Scootaloo lands on my stomach knocking the wind out of me. Scootaloo then gets off of me and I get up just to have Sweetie bell land on my back. The Ariodoses quickly gather up in front of us ready to fight. I then get up again and see Applebloom along with the others and a Pokemon. It was a small green, four-legged Pokemon with a large leaf coming out of the top of its head. I then realized that Applebloom had befriended a Chikorita by herself which was quite impressive.

"Applebloom," I say to her as the flames on my back ignite, "how about you and Chikorita help me out?"

Applebloom's Pokemon then ran up next to me and growled at the approaching Ariodos, "What I'm I supposed to do?" Applebloom asks me as I try to intimidate the Ariodos by increasing the size of them flames on my back and using flamethrower into the sky, and at that moment I had this strange feeling as if I had become weightless and I realized that I'm not meant to be only Twilight's Pokemon. I'm meant to teach ponies to train them and I'm everyponies Pokemon, but I'm still a wild Pokemon and a human. I tell her to do what she did before and I surround myself with fire and use a flame wheel attack. I felt like a bowling ball knocking over pins as Ariodoses were knocked out one after the other. I didn't realize it, but I already stopped all the Ariodoses I felt so alive I just kept on going back and forward, "Chikorita, use reflect!" Applebloom said to her Pokemon as I was heading straight at them. A wall of transparent rainbow colored energy appeared in front of them, and I crash into it. It fell like running straight into a brick wall.

"I'm sorry," I apologize to them,"I got a little carried away, but Applebloom you managed to befriend a Pokemon by yourself. How did you do that?" but before she was able to answer a small black orb rolled in front of us and exploded releasing smoke in all directions blinding us. I then feel something grab me and pick me up. I then hear the screaming of the files as I make the flames on my back and head shoot out at whatever was holding me. I'm then dropped onto the ground and then release superheated gusts of air from the spots on my back blowing away the smoke. I then see people in red suits with red hair and shades all around me and see that the CMC and Chicorita were inside of a cage attached to  a red van covered in armor, but there was a woman with green hair and green goggles.

"Quilava, help us!" The fillies cry out from the cage as the people in red suits surround me. I prepare myself for a fight as they all pull Pokeballs out of their pockets.

"Stand down," The green haired woman orders the others, "I was told there would be a purple one with you," She says talking about Twilight as she walks closer to me. I snarl at her but she wasn't intimidated, "I found him," She says as she holds down a small button on the side of her goggles.

"I'll tell the boss, Bryony, but don't underestimate him," I hear a voice say from the goggles.

"The purple one isn't with him, so this will be easy," Bryony says, "Make this easy and give up now, or else you're going to need to fight me and my Pokemon," she then pulls a Pokeball out of her pocket and with a flash of light a purple leopard with a yellow underbelly and covered in yellow circles and spots appeared in front of me. Just standing on all fours it was about half a foot taller than if I was standing on my hind legs, but on all fours, I was almost a third of my standing height.

"Liepard!" The Pokemon cries out staring down at me.

"Why are you trying to catch me so badly?" I ask her, "What use am I to you?"

"You have the ability to evolve because of that purple pony you're with," she says to me, "Not standard evolution or mega evolution, but something else we've only seen once before. We want to study it and learn about it."

"Then why are you trying to take over Equestria," I ask her, "you really think that I'd believe that. I know that there are only two kinds of evolutions," I tell her before using flamethrower, but her Liepard easily got out of the way and dodged the attack.

"Liepard, use night slash!" Byrony orders her Pokemon. Liepard takes a massive leap and a ghostly hand with long sharp claws appeared over its front paws and slashes me multiple times with them, "Sucker Punch!" Lieperd then delivers another slash of its claws to me before I was able to react. I use another flamethrower, but again it dodges it,"You're going to need to be a lot faster if you want to hit Liepard," She says taunting me.

"I'll just go faster then," I say lunging at Liepard at a speed that made it almost look like I'd vanished. I headbutt Liepard in the leg causing Liepard to fall over. I quickly face Liepard and use fire blast. Liepard unable do dodge the fireball was hit and blasted back and wounded.

"Liepard!" The Pokemon yelled as she rolled to a stop after being knocked back.

"You can do it Quilava!" The fillies yelled cheering me on from their cages.

"You may have the advantage in speed,but how does that help you hit something you can't see," I say using smokescreen covering the battlefield in a layer of heavy dark black smoke. Byrony then hit a button on the side of her goggles and pointed into the smoke and ordered Liepard to use shadow ball. Even under the cover of smoke, I couldn't hide from those goggles. The shadow ball exploded knocking me to the ground and blew away all of the smoke. Then a small cloud of a purple powder then flew right into Liepard and then suddenly became poisoned.

"What!" Byrony said in disbelief as all of us draw our attention to the cages where we saw Applebloom's Chikorita who had broken the cages allowing them to get out.

"Alright, Chikorita use razor leaf," Applebloom said to her Pokemon. Chikorita's leaf then glowed a bright green as she swung it around her head launching small sharp-edged leafs out of it. I then use flamethrower on the leafs to set them on fire as they all flew past all of the Grunts and Byrony. all of their suits then caught fire and they all started to panic and started to run.

"How did you do that?" I ask them with a sigh of relief, "That was incredible."

"They were all wearing cheap suits made out of highly flammable fabric," Sweetie Bell explains to me, "and they really need to get better outfits." and then they all start to laugh

"Well, I think we should get out of here before they come back, so follow me," I tell them as I then continue through the forest toward the bottom of a rocky cliffside with them right behind me. Am I actually an experiment created by Team Flare? I think to myself as we approach the bottom of the cliffside.
