Pikachu visits Equestria

"Do you think we can stop running!?" Shouted Rarity.

"I can't see the gray anymore, so we can take a break..." He replied, slowing his speed.

"Time to explain yourself. What do you mean by other realms?" Questioned Pinkie Pie.

"Celestia told me about it, she has some sort of magic ability to hack into other dimensions, like mine." Pikachu explained.

"Wait, other dimensions? Like our world, but different?" Rarity pondered.

"Not really. The land formations are way different here, so I think each one is different." He answered.

"So why did Celestia take you out of yours, or did you jump into ours?" She questioned him again.

"To put it simply... I really shouldn't exist..." He admitted.

"What!?" Pinkie and Rarity exclaimed in sync.

"Don't say that about yourself! Everypony exists for a reason, you shouldn't be any different!" Rarity said in a comforting tone.

"Thanks, but by logic, I shouldn't be here. I'm from the future, I changed the future. I removed myself from history." He explained further, seeing the confusion on their face. "I was a human, I don't remember it, but my goal was to fix time itself. I did so by going back in time and cutting the problem at the source, but doing so resulted in a new future, one in which I do not exist."

"But how does that relate to time freezing here?" Pinkie had a good point. Pikachu didn't know why time was suddenly freezing here. The only way it ever froze back in his world was when the Time Gears were removed. But no one here seems to know anything about time here, so maybe it was different.

Pikachu couldn't muster up a reason on why time would stop here. Maybe it was time to see Celestia again.

"I'm going to see Celestia. I want to ask her why this is happening." He informed. He was trying to think of a way to make the two ponies stop following him. They are absolutely useless in his journey, they are just going to slow him down.

"Okay, we'll come too!"

"Ehh, no. I would prefer to do this alone... By myself." He said.

"Oh, um, Okay... We'll just be going then..." Pinkie sighed. As she said so, the gray crept up on them. They stopped for too long.

"Wait! Run!" He shouted, warning them of their gray surroundings. But it was too late. The freezing of time struck them and they stood there lifelessly. The color in them was gone and they stood like statues. It was a sad sight.

"That's right, guards! The stopping of time is caused by a little yellow rat! Whoever finds it first will receive an increase in rank!" Celestia announced to her guards who were lined in formal military style. They stood quiet, but in their heads they cheered to themselves. An increase in rank equal an increase in pay, respect, and dignity. All of which each in every one of them wanted.

"Leader of this search will be Shining Armor! Report all findings to him!" She said, welcoming to the microphone.

"Thank you Celestia, it's an honor to lead this search." He said to the Princess. "Now. According to what I've been told, this rat is very dangerous. He's the size of a medium sized dog, so he's larger than the average rat, or all rats. In self defense he will electrocute you, so be warned. We don't know how strong his electric powers are exactly, so be cautious."

"Now! Find that rat!" He shouted. All the guards cheered. A promotion was like gold to them. They scattered quickly to try and find him, but no one truly knew what they were looking for.

Just that moment, Rainbow Dash flew by on her way back from Cloudsdale, but stopped to see what all the commotion was about. "Hey Princess! What are you and the guards doing out here in Unicorn Range?" She wondered.

"Oh, there is a bit of a problem. If you see a gray area, don't touch it, can you promise me that, Rainbow Dash?" Celestia asked.

"No problem! Anything for you, Princess! But seriously, what are you doing out here?"

"Oh, the gray I spoke of earlier seems to be consuming our dear Equestria! So that leads me to my next question. If you find a yellow, rat-like creature, would you bring it to me? He seems to be causing the mess you see before you." Celestia motioned her hoof towards the horizon. Gray was coming, and fast.

"Now's our time to run!" Celestia shouted, flying into the air. Rainbow Dashed followed closely behind as hordes of guards froze in the gray.

Pikachu ran, thinking about how to stop the gray. That's when it came to him. He was the problem. The reason the Gray wouldn't stop is because there are no items for different regions in the world. There is one flow of time and it's all synchronized as one. When one part is disturbed, the rest is affected as well.

He go a safe distance away and stopped once more to catch his breath. Looking at his map, he appeared to be near the entrance of a desert. He planned a route for a town called Dodge City.

"I'll just keep running until I find my way out..."
