Like a Fox in Ponies' World

"Like a broadsword being shoved up my-!"

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I was laying down on the couch, groaning in pain. After going to the backyard and seeing over a hundred different Pokémon playing around, the pain came back, thankfully a lot less intense. Imagine having your blood drained from you by a power vacuum. Having your magic drained is ten times worse than that. I glanced to my side, seeing Sparkle sending a constant stream of that energy at me.

"Explain to me again how you're healing me, I don't remember a Mewtwo having moves to heal partners." It's true, I once leafed through a site that had all of Mewtwo's moves to think up what would be the better combination. If there was a move to heal others, I would know.

"Well it's nothing too complicated, just a combination of Rest and Recover, but instead of focusing it on myself, I'm directing it outwards to you."

"It's possible to do that? Huh... Guess that's why I'm so sleepy... And another thing... Why do you sound female on my head? I always thought Mewtwo was genderless."

She blushed a little. "I wouldn't know. I have only been truly alive for a few hours now..." My face morphed into a grimace.

"So all the Pokémon out there are basically newborns, is what you're saying..."

She shrugged as if to say 'Pretty much' and kept healing me. Sparkle also told me that while I was blacked out she went to check on Selene and found the filly still sleeping peacefully on her room. I envy my daughter sometimes, being able to sleep through all this crap with a smile on her face. A few minutes later Sparkle had finished healing me and I was able to move without any pain. I was thankful for finding that no scars were left on my body, that would have been an ugly sight. Badass, but ugly.

My musings were interrupted by a knock on the door. Getting up and popping my back in several places, I went and opened the door, finding Trixie there with a bag on her back, but that wasn't what caught my attention. She was dirty, her mane was unkempt and she seemed to be favoring her left foreleg. I ushered her in and asked what happened. She sat down at the couch and told me she was ran out of town because everypony thought what happened was her fault, and that she had ran into the forest to escape the angry mob. While she was there, she had tripped and injured herself, that's why she was limping. She also said that after a few hours of crying she had remembered I told her she was welcome in my house whenever she wanted, and pleaded that I let her stay, since her wagon was completely destroyed.

"I have nowhere else to go, please, I'll do anything if you let me stay here!" She said with tears on her eyes. I wiped her tears away and hugged her gently, being careful of her injured foreleg.

"Of course you can stay, I wouldn't dream of sending you away on this state. We're friends, aren't we? You can stay for as long as you need." I said with a soft smile. She buried her face on my chest, sobbing and mumbling 'Thank you' over and over again. As a kid, I was taught by my mother that as a man, it was part of my job to always comfort a crying woman. Does that still counts now that I'm female myself?

Well, no matter. After a few minutes, Trixie had calmed down and I introduced her to Sparkle. I explained to the best of my ability what Pokémon are and from where they came from, especially the ones outside. She more or less understood, and I asked Sparkle to heal her leg. While we talked, Mew had flown in through a window, and was seemingly fascinated with Trixie. I laughed a little at how Trixie gushed at the 'Cute, floating pink cat'. I left them to their devices and went upstairs to check on Selene, Sparkle following on my wake.

When I opened the door to her room, I almost had a heart attack. The back wall had a huge hole in it, and beyond said hole, Selene was laughing loudly as she rode on Giratina's back, who seemed oddly amused with the filly. I took a deep breath, counted to ten, and asked Giratina to be careful with her. Walking back downstairs, I told Trixie I would go out for a second to run some errands. That was a lie. I was going to Purple's house to demand some answers. I also asked Sparkle to accompany me, she would be able to tell if Purple was lying or not. Walking through town, the both of us got some uneasy looks, probably due to the fact I had an unknown creature to them following me. Now that I think about it, looking back towards my house I could see Ray drifting lazily above it, seemingly content to just observe it's new surroundings. Others were also visible, like Latios and Latias playing with each other, Dash the Lugia seemed to be looking around for a deep body of water, the previously mentioned Giratina flying around with Selene, I could also see Moltress, Zapdos and Articuno flying about as well. I made a note to find a place to some of these Legendaries to live comfortably, meaning I would have to get a map of the land.

That's for later, right now I have found Purple's treebrary again finally. Though it wasn't so hard, it was more or less visible from Town Hall. Walking up to the door and knocking on it, I asked myself what's wrong with this world as the door opened. Beyond it, there were books strewn about everywhere with Purple being surrounded by at least ten of them, but that wasn't in my focus. Said focus was in the small lizard (I was informed by Trixie the correct term was baby dragon) wearing a pink apron with a heart in the front. Blinking slowly while he seemed to panic before throwing the apron off and smoothing his scales (What?), before giving me a smile.

"W-welcome to Golden Oaks Library, miss Fox! How can I help you?"

Did he stutter? Maybe he was a little put off by Sparkle behind me. It's not like he may have some kind of attraction to me, I mean, he's just a baby. Heh, that would be ridiculous.

"Right uh... I'm here to speak with Purple." I told him, looking at what could probably become a book hazard. Have you ever accidentally stepped on a hard cover? I have. Must have made a new record in string cussing that day.

"You mean Twilight? Sure, she's just looking at some books in search of what was that giant creature of yesterday. Come in, I'll get you some tea."

I lowered my head and stepped in, being mindful of the sea of books. I could now imagine Purple as some kind of book shark, hah. I found my way to a couch and sat my impressive ass down, making it creak in protest. Sparkle opted to sit in a lotus position in the air, her tail braced on the ground making it seem that she was balanced atop it. Or maybe she was, I don't know how strong her tail is. Anyway, we watched as the little dragon shook Purple out of her zone where she finally took notice of us, mostly Sparkle, and rushed over, about to bombard the Mewtwo in questions. How did I know? She reeks of someone who has a deep desire of knowledge. No really, she literally reeks, I could see some flies around her. Regardless of that, I covered her mouth with one of my tails to prevent the interrogation, successfully grabbing her attention. She glanced at me as if she just noticed I was in the room and I gave her a blank stare.

"I am the one who shall ask questions here, agreed?" I removed my tail and waited for any noise of confirmation- nope, she is now bombarding ME with questions. Getting fed up of this, I decided to take on drastic measures. By nature, foxes are predators, while ponies are prey, so this should work.

Peeling my lips back to exposed my sharp teeth, I snarled right at her face. The effect was immediate, she clammed up, her ears flattened against her head, her eyes widened and her pupils shrunk. I knew it was wrong to laugh at that, but I must admit I snickered a little at her face. I think that she almost wet herself. That aside, she was quiet now, which was good, I could finally ask what I wanted to. So, taking a deep breath, I adopted a serious expression.

"Purple, answer me. Why was Trixie ran out of town?"

She seemed to recover a little and proceeded to tell me the exact events that happened while I wasn't present. The little dragon, whose name I learned was Spike, joined us after a few moments, bringing with him a pot of tea and some cups, of which I took one for myself while I listened. Apparently the mix of the Nightmare act and Trixies story about defeating an Ursa Major led two brats to think that they could bring one to town so she could "defeat it like in her story". From Purple's description, the two foals were two dimwits that believed in everything they heard and were punished accordingly. But even when the truth about who was at fault came out, it seems some ponies still thought it was somehow Trixie's fault, leading to the mob running her out of town. When I asked if she at least tried to speak up in Trixie's defense, Purple stayed silent. I rubbed my face in disappointment and told her how Trixie appeared in my house dirty and injured. Purple looked very ashamed of herself.

"You know, ponies like you are such a pain." I said with a groan. "Like a broadsword being shoved up my-!"

"Okay! I get it!" She interrupted with a deep blush. Before sighing and looking away. "Please tell Trixie I'm sorry..."

I nodded and stood up, turning to leave. Before I was out of the door, I looked at her over my shoulder.

"By the way, I'm pretty sure you won't find anything about the creatures of yesterday in any if your books, so no need to search. I know what they are, but I don't want to tell you at this point in time. Maybe someday down the line, who knows." I ducked outside with Sparkle and closed the door behind me before she could open her mouth. I could swear I heard a loud belch from inside before I left. Gross.

"So..." I heard Sparkle ask. "Now what?"

"Well first, try to make this," I gestured in the direction of my house and the Pokémon flying around it. "Part of our 'normal' routine. Second will be find some places that would be good to some of these Pokémon, I'm sure some of them won't like the weather here."

Sparkle glanced at the backyard of my house, seeing the sky divided in certain parts by Hail, Rain Dance and Sunny Day.

"...That's a good point."

"Anyway, I'll discuss this later with my bosses, for now I just want to relax and maybe get to know my new friends for a while."

Sparkle nodded as we walked through the market. I found a place to buy the map I needed and started planning where some of my Pokémon could stay. I already see some good ones but I would have to make sure first. I showed the map to Sparkle and we discussed who could potentially go where, as she explained to me how this land's (which I finally learned was named Equestria) natural energy had enhanced her telepathic abilities a lot, so she could contact the other Pokémon whenever they were if we needed it. Putting the map away as I approached the house, I stopped just as I grabbed the handle. There was a huge presence in the backyard, I could feel. So, walking around the house, me and Sparkle went to investigate. The sheer absurdity of what I found made my jaw drop a little.

"Ah, welcome home Creator! I have been waiting for you to come back to meet you properly!"

It was. Frickin'. Arceus.

...I think that broadsword just reached my brain.


Author's Note

HUZZAH!!! I AM NOT DED!!!

Sunny apologizes if it seemed like a new chapter wouldn't come out, it's been a little hard to come up with good scenarios to continue with this, but here you go! A brand new chapter!

Now for some announcements. Included in the story are now all the Pokémon I ever caught in the games I played, including hack roms, but I want suggestions of where some of the Legendaries could reside. Also, changed the rating to M just to be a little safer, but don't worry. Nothing too extreme will happen for now. Now please, wait patiently for the next chapter, because I am now working on new chapters for 'Tails of Fate' and 'The Chaos Has Been Tripled!'. It's been some time since I last updated these two, so I'm gonna fix that.

As always, let me know in the comments if I made any error, and keep your suggestions coming! I'll end up using them, just wait. In a side note, when this story hit 3k views I'll have a special comment driven chapter, so wait for the blog post with that announcement!

Sunny shall leave now! BREAD FOR EVERYPONY!!!
