Load Full Story

Most probably have known what it is like to go through high school as nobody, well Harper Baker Green fits that role to a T. It doesn't help when you are born with a defect that changes the pigment in your eyes from brown to red based on anger. Apparently, a trait from her late parents the red color coming from Dad while the color changing from Mom. Her mother changed from brown to black instead of what Harper has a combination of the two peculiarities.

Harper has black hair, many freckles from her great aunt who happened to have a genetic disorder as well. Our heroine's misfortune in the genetic cycle did not end there she stood at a tall five feet eight inches. This made it difficult to fit in during freshman year at least she could help the guidance needed someone to hang the banners for prep rallies. During sophomore year is when things turned for the worst.

A senior girl was harassing her saying that a freak like her should be in a circus one thing led to another, Harper became angry thus her eyes changed to red. That is when the nickname Harper Bulls'eye' Red came from didn't help with a dunking record for Physical Education. This is only one side of her life the other being an anonymous gamer called 'PinkWaterNinja' inspired by the Pink Greninja skin. Harper was a well known builder in Minecraft along with being a shiny trader with a complete living dex.

It all started with her winning a contest on one of the servers in Minecraft, she had never felt so accomplished until a message was dispayed in the annoucement signboard.

"Attention: Player PinkWaterNinja has broken the record for greatest comeback victories. Once having a long losing streak with an occasional win, they have risen through the ranks in Builder's Battle. Their signature style being building Pokémon based pixel art ranging from Voltorb to Shiny Ho-Oh. PinkWaterNinja has been selected to be sponsored on the official Minecraft website for their classic Pokémon Sprite Gallery.

They have recreated the first 151 Pokémon sprites from Pokémon: Yellow a crown one being Mew. PinkWaterNinja even provided brief history about each sprite from what phases they went through before being finalised." No one had ever congratulated her like that before this was her Minecraft Career. The shiny hunting had been a hobby evet since getting Pokémon: Gold in a $2 bin at Gamestop. Her first shiny was accidental it being Ho-Oh the old sprite caught her eye when it was yellow instead of red.

Harper felt proud completing the Living Dex without any cheats took five years to do it, her birthday was in the last month of summer so she tended to be older than most other students. She had her Ho-Oh named Phoenix traded all the way to her Ultra Sun it being a reminder to always keep shiny hunting. Luckily, her ten year old self had happened to learn a tale about a phoenix at the time other wise her Ho-Oh would have a stupid nickname. Phoenix was always what she would show people on her trainer card to draw them in for shiny trading.

She loved trying different Minecraft mods especially Pixelmon, guess what her first legendary encounter was. Harper Green had always been fortunate when it came to Ho-Oh so Phoenix joined her in the Pixelmon server as well. She loved the idea of a Pink Greninja at first so ut became her skin ever since starting Minecraft. Unfortunately, this comeback to bite her when it came time for her adventure to Equestria.


Harper is walking home from High School to her Uncle's house when an e-mail for an experimental mod that would introduce better Pokémon models came out. Notch wanted Pixelmon players to test it out, PinkWaterGirl had happened to be a choice due to popularity on the Minecraft Community list. She began racing home this is a mode update that she had been waiting for so it would be done right. Harper got to the house in ten minutes that being a record immediately heading for her computer to check new emails there it was on top.

A link to the new beta mod only that another had to be tested alongside it for a dual mod evaluation, it was for My Little Pony characters to wonder around. Harper was a little hesitant it wasn't like she depised the show just not interested in the series. The fourth generation at least looked much better than the previous three generations so that was at least something. Only reason she knew much about it was a younger cousin she was babysitting for a week wanted to watch through eight seasons.

The plot was interesting it just hadn't stuck as much as Pokémon had to Harper still it passed time while Minecraft was down for the Aquatic Update. Back to present day she waited for it to load once done her pixelmon account was loaded eager to see a three dimensional Phoenix in Minecraft. One surprise that shocked PinkWaterNinja was that her skin had turned into an actual pink greninja. Harper didn't recall the mod mentioning anything about this as a feature.

She thought 'Maybe it's a special feature for players with Pokémon skins pretty cool with an unofficial version of Greninja. Let's see ...*Goes to her house to get Phoenix from the PC, in truth a Living Dex was in there as well only fully evolved forms having Nicknames.* There you are Minecraft Phoenix in the Battle Box.' Her 3DS was nearby always at the ready incase someone wanted to trade with the shiny hunter. Just as she walked out of the dug out house that was hidden in a mountain a blue pegasus flying across the sky caught her eye.

Harper says outloud just to herself "So that's ... Rainbow Dash I think *Sees the model is actually pretty good almost 3d* maybe the other mod has an effect anyway time to show you who rules these skies. Lucky, Pixelmon let's you fly with any winged Pokémon without the TM time for Phoenix to show this Rainbow some gold and silver. *She releases Phoenix from his PokéBall relieved that he looks just as good as in Ultra Sun*"

-Shiny Ho-Oh has yellow feathers that look like gold don't judge, CastleInTheSky7.

Harper took to Phoenix's back feeling excited that her character stood up on the large bird rather than a horse riding animation. She guided him toward the pegasus who seemed to fly away rapidly unlike a normal action the equine flew through the mountains. Harper chased after thinking the pegasus was programmed to move fast whenever a flying player was around. Maybe it was programmed to race them that would make sense since the pegasus loved to race often in the show.

After racing for what felt like a distamce of five hundred blocks Harper noticed an oddly large portal shaped in cloud blocks in the distance. Still thinking part of the mode she chased after Rainbow Dash into the strange formation fully expecting it to just take them to a blocky Ponyville. What she didn't know that in Equestria Starlight Shimmer was working on a way to make a portal for Trixie's next show. It was made out of clouds for a pegasus volunteer to fly through teleporting them to a small pool of water. Starlight suddenly feels a slight magic charge in the portal which results in it turning horizontal after the show ends over the Everfree.

As she disables the portal a figure falls through it unknown to any residents of Ponyville the falling individual being hidden by light of sunset. We now place view on an unconscious Pink Greninja who was unfortunate to go through the portal with a Shiny Ho-Oh who is nowhere in sight. All that is beside our fallen heroine is a bag the same backpack from her Ultra Sun game a Sporty Ref Bacpack from her character named Sun. The items in this backpack will contain answers along with questions.
