On a TV Screen, a battle can be seen playing on a small TV screen. Showing what looks like a huge monstrous bear standing on its hindlegs as a huge quadroped bug evades one of its attacks. The screen fades in as it shows a live battle going on.

"Looks like Barreetle was too fast for the towering Grizzstellation, but can Grizzstellation still pull a win out of this fight?" An announcer announced. The creature known as Grizzstellation flashed its yellow eyes as the buggy creature known as Barreetle started to float up into the air, and then get slammed into the ground, causing the crowd to roar out in cheers.

"Oooohhh!! A devastating Psychic from Grizzstellation, can Barreetle still pull through?" The announcer exclaimed. Barreetle got up, and was soon enveloped in a red light as it was returned to a Poke Ball. "Looks like the challenger is switching Pokémon, what will the challenger do now folks!" the announcer exclaimed. A shadowy figure pulled out a Poke Ball, with a green top and what looked like fangs on the side of the ball as out came a winged serpent creature with Chicken like features.

"Holy jeez, It's Cobblrooster! This winged Pokémon is always great for sweeping teams, ladies and gents, hold on to your seats, because this fight just got cranked up to an 11!" The announcer exclaimed as the crowd cheered.

The screen fades out to show a dark skinned girl with straight dark purple hair with pink highlights in blue pajamas as she sat on a bed and watched the TV intently with a big grin and sparkling eyes, holding a notepad in hand.

"Twilight Sparkle is a 21 year old woman, who plans to go to the professor's lab tomorrow to get her first Pokémon, and venture out of Ponivylle Town, so she can become a Pokémon Master."

"Ooohhhhh!!!! I can't wait, I can't wait! Tomorrow I'm actually going to go on my journey! I can finally do something with my life, and not be cooped up in my room every day. I swear, as Celestia's apprentice, I will become a master!!" The girl exclaimed happily.

"Twilight Sparkle!!" A voice called out. Twilight flinched as she turned around to see her dad, Night Light, looking in with a stern look. His stern look turned into a look of excitement as he pulled Twilight into a big ol' bear hug as they both excitedly celebrated.

"My daughter's gonna make something of her life! If your brother were still here, he'd be so proud of you, pumpkin pie!" Night Light stated happily. Twilight smiled as she saw her mom, Twilight Velvet, looking over Night Light's shoulder as she was happy for her daughter, but still had to be the stern one as she smiled.

"Alright, alright, let's let our little master-to-be get her rest, hon, otherwise she may miss out." Velvet stated. Night Light kissed her daughter's forehead as he left the room. Velvet grabbed the TV remote and switched it over to another channel, showing a stoic and wise old man with a white beard with streaks of gray in them, as well as gray skin, wearing a lab coat with twinkling star patterns, pointing to three Pokémon selected to be starters.

The first Pokémon would be a mint green bunny rabbit, slightly scowling as it quickly chewed a carrot to crumbs as its leafy bunny ears swayed every which way as a small bud was present above a small green bushy cottonball tail. The second Pokémon would be a deep blue shepherd puppy with wavy and wet fur and gills as a stream of water formed into a small fish tail as fins sprouted from its front and hind legs. The third Pokémon was a small baby bird with red and orange feathers, as well as ashy black and white feathers with a lit ember atop its head as it cooed.

"I want you to watch that, and when it's over, get some sleep honey. You have a big day tomorrow... I'm so proud of you." Velvet said happily, quickly leaving the room as she wiped tears of joy from her eyes, leaving Twilight to sit down and take notes on the program.

Many Hours Later...

It was 4 in the morning, Twilight had nodded off and on her notepad was a bunch of formulas and hypothetical scenarios to determine which starter was the best choice, to the point where the eligible stuff that can be read or understood, was still incomprehensible due to her lack of sleep. She slowly woke up to the sound of her alarm, and almost immediately turned it off, chucking it into the trash can as she slowly fell back asleep, only to be interrupted by the light in her room flickering on as party favors go off, causing her to jolt awake.

"Come on, honey! Wakey Wakey!" Night Light exclaimed. Twilight groggily got up out of bed as she put on a black and violet t-shirt and some jean shorts. She tied on some sneakers as she tossed on a backpack and a hair clip in the shape of a Poke ball with a sparkling star with 6 points jutting out from the sides, tying her hair into a ponytail. Twilight grabbed a pair of glasses as she put them on and slowly walked downstairs, shouldering her backpack as she slowly made her way out, smiling as the dawn's light shone upon her.

A couple hours later, Twilight was wide awake, slowly jogging towards a big fancy cottage with a bigger lab connected to it up on a hill. 'Take a breather, Twilight. You're about to make an important decision, and you can't allow yourself to be distracted. Just calmly slow your pace and-'

"Out of the WAAYYY!!!" A voice called out, interrupting Twilight's train of thought.

Twilight barely had any time to react, and collided with someone as they fell to the ground. Twilight grabs her glasses and adjusts them, picking herself up as she rubbed her now aching head.

"My goodness, I'm so sorry! I'm usually more focused... are you alright?" Twilight asked, looking down at the person. This person was a girl, a blue skinned girl with a fiery passion in her eyes as her white flowing hair shimmered in the light of the sun. She wore a blue hoodie with a silver necklace and some jeans, as well as sneakers and a yellow undershirt. As well as a bright Purple beanie with yellow stars.

"I was, no thanks to you, ya klutz! I just got my starter Pokemon, and I plan to become the greatest Pokemon Magician ever! I'm already behind due to this unforeseen encounter." The girl stated, sounding full of herself with confidence as she scowled up at Twilight. Twilight frowned as she helped her up.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just in a hurry myself. I think we got off on the wrong foot, I'm Twilight. What's your name?" Twilight introduced. The girl scowled and sighed, frowning.

"I'm the great and powerful TRRRRRIXIE! Remember that name, because the next time we cross paths, I won't be so inclined to let this slide next time. I bid you adieu, Twilight. It wasn't much of a pleasure to meet you." Trixie stated, walking off as she unhooked a Poke Ball from her belt and glared back at Twilight as she went along.

Twilight sighed and balled her fists as she collected herself. "Grr, I'll show that Trixie. I'm gonna get a great Pokémon, then we'll see who remembers whose name, then." Twilight told herself confidently as she ran towards the lab, walking inside.

Inside the lab itself, was a bunch of papers that were quickly stacking up as a tall young guy with orange skin, messy and unkept scarlet hair and silver glasses carefully carried a box of poorly balanced items as he set it all down on the table.

"Professor Starswirl, are you sure we just can't get any more of this stuff if it goes to waste? It seems so easy to produce in such little time, for how important it is to our research." The boy asked. The professor, going by the name of Starswirl, walked over with a cane, with a gilded chrome Poke Ball on its top, acting as the handle. Starswirl knocked the boy over the head with a bemused look.

"Our research pertains to understanding what the limits of Pokémon have as a connection to what our own limits are as a species. And we can't afford another waste of resources on mediocre theories without the right proof or flow of knowledge on the subject. Besides, I still have a job to do as a Pokemon Professor, the next trainer to walk through that door, will be the last trainer to be chosen to go on a menial adventure, Sunburst. You're my apprentice for a reason, not just so you can bounce theories off of my research." Starswirl explained bitterly. Sunburst frowned at this and continued to work on several small trinkets as the front door swung open, revealing Twilight, smiling from ear to ear.

"I'm here for my Pokémon, Professor!" Twilight called out proudly. Starswirl grimaced as he groaned and walked over. "Ahh yes... the Champion's apprentice. How could I forget..." Starswirl stated sarcastically, motioning for Twilight to follow him to a metal pedestal, revealing three Poke Balls. Twilight's eyes shimmered as she got giddy, almost immediately ready to make her choice.

"These three Pokémon were selected to be the starting Pokémon for your journey. The first Pokémon is the grass type, Bunnibud. The Second Pokémon is the fire type, Flintchling, and the Third Pokémon is the water type, Guppup. Pick one, and choose wisely, mind you." Starswirl said unenthusiastically.

Twilight immediately grabbed the Poke Ball that contained Bunnibud. "I choose this one, I did a very detailed calculation on how beneficial a grass type would be, and I think my calculations will prove to be superior." Twilight stated. Twilight held up the Poke Ball, and it opened up revealing... nothing. Twilight was confused as she didn't consider the scenario of when the last one would be already taken.

"Well that's a shame. I remember this shy woman coming in, requesting a Pokemon from me, and she took the Bunnibud before I even introduced it. That was the last one, I'm afraid." Starswirl stated.

Twilight perked up and immediately grabbed the Poke Ball that would've contained Guppup. "Then I choose this one, it's the second best starter for any journey across any region, and with a water type, exploring the deep depths of the sea will be a cinch." Twilight stated. The Poke Ball opened up, again, revealing nothing. Twilight nearly collapsed if she didn't look so cheated.

"Unfortunately, a girl with crossed eyes came in looking for a starter as well, and intended on taking the last Guppup. When she did, it somehow learned Splash of all things. If I recall, she then simply told me, 'I just don't know what went wrong', I think. I could be mistaken, but the poor dear still took the last Guppup I'm afraid." Starswirl stated.

Twilight was a bit worried as she took the Poke Ball, that would've contained Flintchling. "Then if all else fails, fighting fire with fire always works out in the end... sometimes. I pick Flintchling." Twilight said. The Poke Ball opened up, and revealed absolutely nothing. Leaving Twilight to be upset and her mouth open agape.

"Unfortunately, a big bulky man came in, looking for a starter. I didn't have any fighting types to give, but he was willing to be civil and settle on taking the last Flintchling, I think his name was Bulk... or was it Snowflake? I'm not quite sure. I'm sorry, but there are no more Pokémon. Maybe next time when you're-" Twilight fell to her knees, sulking as she felt everything crumble around her.

Starswirl did not want to see anyone moping around in his workplace, and soon thought of something. "Well, maybe there's still a chance you can get a Pokémon, dear." Starswirl stated, watching Twilight slowly pick her head up, looking slightly hopeful. Starswirl pressed a button on the machine, bringing up 3 more Poke Balls. One with a Lightning bolt, one with a pink eye wide open, and one with a Dragon's head in a deep navy color. There was also an empty spot, where it seemed like a 4th ball should've been.

"I already gave that annoying Trixie woman the normal type starter, which was just an Eevee. These three balls contain Pokémon we collected from far off places in Canteiquis. The electric type is a Pokémon known as Possuvolt. The Psychic Type is a Pokémon known as Espiguana. And the Dragon type is a Pokémon we just discovered, called Drakonid. Drakonids are very difficult to train, and very impressionable, according to the last 50 trainers who could barely keep up with the Pokémon's aggressive distaste for greedy trainers and it disobeying most basic commands. Make your choice." Starswirl explained.

Twilight looked over each individual Poke Ball, and thought real hard, as these three weren't apart of her original calculations.

'Ok, Sparkle... you can do this. Three fresh starters, and you have to make the decision on what is best. Drakonid... it sounds incredibly rare, but it's also very difficult to train, according to Starswirl... but it's not everyday you get to be offered a Rare Pokémon for a starter choice...' Twilight thought to herself. Twilight reached for Possuvolt's Poke Ball, until she felt something radiating. She felt a form of energy radiating from Drakonid's Poke Ball, and due to her own curiosity, Twilight found herself in the position to make her final choice.

"I choose... Drakonid." Twilight stated confidently, grabbing Drakonid's Poke Ball as a creature came out of the ball in a flash of bright light. On the pedestal was a small newborn sized dragon trying to stand on its hind legs. Its scales were a purple color, and the scales growing out were rounded, and in a bright shade of green. It had no wings, but it did have shining green eyes as it wore a brown egg shell on its back like a turtle shell. Twilight looked at it and smiled as she carefully carried the Drakonid in her hands as it smiled back.

"It's perfect. I think I know just what to call you... Spike." Twilight stated as she petted the dragon. Spike attempted to try and say its name, until it belched out a huge stream of green flames onto Twilight's face. Twilight's face was blacker than before and she coughed out a puff of black smoke as Spike laughed at what he did.

"Seems he's already warming up to you." Starswirl stated, chuckling at the sight. He reached into one of his coat pockets and pulled out a Cool Blue device as he punched in some sort of combination on the device before handing it to Twilight.

"Here, this is a Pokédex, think of it as an on hand encyclopedia on any and every Pokémon species. If you intend to branch out and grow your team, use these." Starswirl stated, handing Twilight 5 smaller Poke Balls. "These are empty Poke Balls, and they are made for catching Pokémon. You will have to battle them if you want to have a better chance at catching the Pokémon you want. Go on, Twilight Sparkle, go and become strong." Starswirl stated.

Twilight smiled as she pressed a button on the blue device, showing a small pixelated face smiling.

"Greetings, I am Dexi, the AI built for recognizing and analyzing data of unregistered Pokémon. This device is made by Professor Starswirl, and owned by Newbie Pokémon trainer, Twilight Sparkle." The voice spoke as the device went idle. Twilight walked to the front door, pocketing Spike's Poke Ball as she opened the door, motioning for Spike to follow. The Drakonid instinctively followed as it rode on Twilight's shoulder.

Twilight smiled as she walked down the hill and saw her parents waving at her, looking at her happily as they saw Spike perched on her shoulder. Twilight was reminded to have clean clothes and such, and immediately went off to the first route between her and the next city, Route 49.

Twilight casually walked onto the dirt path as she waded through the grass, hearing Spike casually sleep and snore on her shoulder. Twilight managed to find a clear opening in the grass as well as a tree, which Spike immediately ran up as it tried to resume sleeping.

"Spike! You get down here right now! I can't go on without you, you're my only Pokémon!" Twilight stated, yelling up at the tree. Twilight turned around and saw a new Pokémon strut into view. A small peacock-like bird with vibrant patterns on its small frail feathers. "Woah, what's that?" Twilight asked. She pulled out the Pokedex and pressed a button on it as it soon displayed the image of the Pokémon.

Peaqwail, The Quivering Bird PKMN

These small Pokémon may be frail, but their vibrant patterns on their feathers are used as a method of causing a distraction while it pecks and kicks at its enemies while they are in a daze. The small size of this Pokémon, combined with its lack of wings and pudgy body type, is the main reason why it can't achieve flight without aide from its mother.

Twilight looked up from the device and looked back at the Peaqwail, it's light brown feathers clashing with its shiny white and blue feathers makes it seem beautiful, but still brimming with potential to be a valid party member.

"Alright, I got this. Go, Poke Ball! Hyah!!" Twilight exclaims, taking an empty Poke Ball and throwing it at the Peaqwail, who then went inside the ball as it was enveloped in a bright red light. Twilight smiled as she watched the Poke Ball shake, and the Peaqwail break out, scared as it runs off into the tall grass.

"What just happened?!" Twilight exclaimed. The Pokédex beeped and showed an image of a Poke Ball.

"The Pokémon was not weakened enough to be captured. You must battle the Pokémon with your own to increase your chances of catching new team members." Dexi stated. Twilight frowned as she looked up at Spike, who was laughing at how Twilight failed. Twilight kicked the tree and Spike fell into her arms, frustrated.

"Are you done, little mister? Come on, we're supposed to be partners on this. Please, Spike?" Twilight asked. Spike shrugged as he grabbed a pebble with his tail and flung it up the tree, knocking a Pokémon out from the tree.

"Aha! Another Peaqwail. Good eye, Spike. Now let's see if I can't finesse this." Twilight said happily as she prepared another Poke Ball, only to realize this Pokémon wasn't a Peaqwail. The Pokémon was very cat-like, but it was also comprised of horn nubs on its head and a rattlesnake's tail. Twilight flinched as she quickly put the Poke Ball away and fished out the Pokédex again as the angered Pokémon got closer.

"T-Th-That's not a P-Peaqwail!" Twilight stuttered as the Pokédex registered the Pokémon, pulling up its entry.

Catombine, The Mismashed PKMN

Catombine are rare and aggressive creatures made up of the DNA of most Cat, Ram and Snake Pokémon that existed 1,000 years ago, as well as having the DNA of an ancient tree around the same yearly span. These Pokémon are very feral, and should only be handled by very skilled trainers, as these Pokémon are prone to attack everything that provokes it by the most minor of means.

Twilight gulped as she saw the Catombine looking up at her, fangs barred and claws out as it growls. "N-Now now, let's not do something we might regret, Spike, Help me! Please!" Twilight exclaimed to the dragon Pokémon. Spike just lazed about while the wild Catombine lunged at Twilight, scratching her up a bit while Spike laughed at the scene. Soon though, Spike was singing a different tune when the Catombine's claws glowed white and grew in size as it attempted to unleash a few Fury Swipes on him. Spike rolled out of the way and spat out green embers at the Catombine, who then started to retreat up into the tree.

Twilight's clothes were a bit mangled, but other than that, Twilight seemed fine as she picked up Spike. "Are you okay? I bet that'll teach you to just laugh at someone's misfortune." Twilight scolded as Spike lightly snickered. As Twilight began to walk through the grass, she heard the sound of running, and saw a small herd of Catombine running towards her from behind. Twilight screamed as she began to sprint through the route and into a wooded area as the Catombine herd chased after her.

"This is not how I thought this would go!!!" Twilight exclaimed as she ran through the forest. She quickly made a sharp turn into the thick woods as a cliff began to show. Twilight knew she couldn't just run back when those things are after her, so she held Spike in her arms and made a big ol' jump into a huge body of water, hoping with every fiber in her being that those Catombine wouldn't follow her.

Down the stream is a shore, where a regular guy with bright tanned yellow skin and spiked back blue hair with a black jacket and a white tshirt is sitting, petting some sort of electric canine Pokémon during a fishing trip. He notices his line getting pulled in and immediately starts pulling it in, reeling in whatever might be worth the catch.

"Electrike, get ready! We might've caught something big! We hit the jackpot!!" The guy exclaimed, reeling the line in as he pulled on the rod. A huge mass was washed up onto shore, and it was a shivering torn up girl holding a Pokémon in her arms. The girl coughed up a bit of water, as did the dragon Pokémon as the guy helped them up.

"Hey, are you okay? You look absolutely worn out. Here, let me give you this to help you warm up." The guy stated, taking off his jacket as he wrapped it around the girl's body. The girl wiped the water from her eyes as she looked up at the guy, smiling as she got up and picked up her Pokémon in her arms.

"I'm Twilight, nice to meet you." she introduced.

"I'm Flash, nice to make your acquaintance. How'd you end up in the water, anyway?" Flash asked. Before Twilight could answer, she could hear the chittering growls of the Catombine horde chasing after her. She panicked and put the jacket on, grabbing Spike as she quickly ran off.

"Sorry!! Gotta go!! I'll give this back to you someday!!!" Twilight exclaimed as she ran. Flash panicked as several Catombine sped past him and his Electrike, leaving the both of them dazed and confused.

Twilight runs as fast as she can until she suddenly trips and groans, feeling a paralyzing sensation in her knees preventing her from moving anywhere. She looked up and saw the Catombine closing in and she shielded Spike from them, bracing herself for what fate might await her.

"Go on! Attack me! But you won't lay a claw on my Spike!! Come on, Catombine!! Do your worst!" Twilight exclaimed, bracing herself as they lunged towards her. Spike looked up at Twilight and jumped in front of her as the front of his muzzle glowed a bright blue color as a huge wave of bright blue flames erupted out of nowhere, knocking 30 Catombine out as Spike's little body collapsed beside Twilight's, smiling weakly.

"You're a brave little dragon, Spike. I'm glad I chose you." Twilight stated, trying to fight the paralyzing feeling in her knees as she picked up Spike in her arms. She heard a cry of some Pokémon, and looked up, seeing a huge sonic boom forming in the sky, shining a plethora of rainbow colors as Twilight basked in the sight of a flying equine Pokémon with Bat-like wings covered in feathers, 3 legs on each side of its body, and Marble white eyes on a shimmering Velvet coat of fur with a long flowing dark gray mane and vibrant rainbow tail with gray detailing, plus two curved devil horns curling up from the head. The Pokémon whinnied as it galloped across a path of black glittering sparkles as Twilight looked on and marveled at the sight.

"Wow, what kind of Pokémon is that? It's so... majestic." Twilight stated, scanning the Pokémon. The Pokédex beeped and provided a form of an answer.

"This Pokémon cannot be identified at this time. There's still so much to explore about Pokémon and the mysteries behind them." Dexi stated. Twilight smiled and lightly chuckled at the machine's answer as she carried Spike further down the road, knowing that if she was gonna be the Pokémon Champion, and Celestia's true successor, she was going to have to earn that title, and she knew there was only one way to do that.

"I need to find more Pokémon, and then I'll formulate the perfect team... Let's get you healed up, Spike. You outdid yourself pretty well." Twilight stated, lightly jogging down the path.

'This is just the beginning of the amazing adventures of Twilight and Spike. Their journey is destined to be packed with non-stop action, millions of laughs, heart-pounding perils, and endless excitement. Together they'll encounter fantastic friends, evil enemies, and meet creatures beyond their wildest imagination. and as their story unfolds, we'll unlock the magic and mystery of Canteiquis' history.'

(To Be Continued)

Author's Note

So by this point, I've introduced several new Pokémon, and one familiar Pokémon, as well as re-write what happens for the Sonic Rainboom to still be relevant in igniting the eventual meeting up and formation of the Main 6, or in this case, the Trainer 6. Twilight as you can guess, is gonna be our Ash Ketchum, but her adventure will not end in Canteiquis... I will definitely show her going to other regions like Ash does, except she won't forget the basic fundamentals of what being a trainer is about.

But her going to existing regions is for another story. Now it's time to work on Chapter 2, which might be out eventually.
