This chapter has been revised and constantly edited. I also looked up several moves for Pikachu and Fletchling.

This Side Of Paradise. Part 1.

Ever since Sunset had arrived in the Kalos region, she'd been extremely grateful for Arceus helping her.

She'd made some new friends. She acted like a big sister to Bonnie, becoming protective over her at times. She and ash were best friends and had formed a close friendship.

Serena and Sunset became like sisters. Even though they were friends, they felt more deeply about each other.

The bacon-haired girl looked to the skies as she mentally thanked Arceus for giving her another chance by bringing her to the world of Pokemon.

Back in the human Equestria...

The Rainbooms and CHS had found out that Anon-A-Miss wasn't Sunset. It turned out that Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie-Belle were the ones behind the account.

Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were extremely disappointed in their little sisters. Because of them, Sunset had fled from CHS.

They wouldn't deny their own actions. They knew that they'd been responsible for casting Sunset out of their friendship group.

The CMC were punished with having In-School Suspension when they returned to school after Christmas. They would also be monitored by a teacher when using one of the school computers.

Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia had visited CHS. They informed the school that they would no longer help out and any magical issues would have to be solved by them instead of having undeserved help.

"Alright Pikachu, practice Iron Tail!" Sunset yelled. Her electric mouse pokemon obeyed the command, jumping as the tail transitioned to a bright white. Pikachu whacked his tail against a tree, cutting through it.

"Now try Electro Ball!" Sunset cried out, watching her companion and friend practice the move.

"Pika-Pi!" Pikachu screeched as it's tail summed up a ball of pure electricity. The yellow mouse pokemon spun around and flicked the ball of electrical energy at another tree, shocking it and destroying it.

"Fletchling, Quick Attack!" Sunset commanded. The grey and red robin-like pokemon flew towards a tree as a white field of energy wrapped around the fire bird.

Fletchling zoomed into the tree as it flew upwards and back to Sunset. The fiery bird landed on her shoulder as it nuzzled her affectionately, earning a gentle stroke down it's back in return.

"Fletchling, return!" Sunset said, watching the bird became pure red energy as it returned to it's Pokeball.

Her Pikachu ran over to her as it jumped onto her chest. The electric mouse nuzzled her playfully. It made sure not to shock her. It had only done that a few times to wake her up.

Both trainer and Pokemon recieved praise from Ash and the others. Both his Pikachu and Sunset's had become best friends.

Princess Twilight was going through some documents, reading and checking them. She was in the middle of signing them when Arceus appeared in the room, a portal behind Him.

"W-Who are you?" Twilight asked in shock and a slight amount of fear.

The God Pokemon chuckled before going silent.

"I am Arceus, the God Pokemon. I know your mentor, Princess Celestia. We're old friends." Arceus explained as he closed the portal behind Him.

"W-Why are you here? If you don't mind me asking?" Twilight asked the god Pokemon with confusion.

"I know the whereabouts of your friend, Sunset Shimmer. She is in My world. I sent her there to make new friends and get a second chance. I have seen what Anon-A-Miss has done to her. She did not deserve any of the treatment she was shown." Arceus explained, His voice echoing around him.

Twilight's eyes bulged in their sockets as the purple alicorn ran over to him. Her body shook frantically with excitement, shock and worry.

"Where is she?! Please?! I have to help her! I have to know if she's alright!" Twilight yelled, lunging for the god Pokemon as He simply moved out of the way, letting her fall to the ground.

The purple alicorn groaned as she got up. Twilight shook her head as she tried to stabilize herself.

"She is alive and well. If you wish, I can bring you to My world for a brief time, before returning you home." Arceus offered, noticing Twilight's eyes widen in shock. He knew of her name through Princess Celestia.

Without saying a single word, Arceus opened a portal next to Twilight as she ran through it, Arceus folllowing behind.

Sunset sat on the grassy ground below her. She thought about Twilight. She knew that the alicorn would be worried sick for her and would try to locate her.

The bacon-haired girl was about to get up, when she heard an all-too familiar voice behind her.

"SUNSET!" Twilight yelled, her body now a human one as she ran up to Sunset and tackled her to the ground, hugging her gently.

"I'm okay, Twilight. Really, I am. How did you find me?" Sunset said, sitting up as she brushed her clothes.

"A being called Arceus brought me here. I wanted to find you, Sunset. I missed you. I'm sorry. I didn't help you enough when Anon-A-Miss was going on. The school knows the truth, they found who it was. Apple Bloom, Sweetie-Belle and Scootaloo. They were jealous of you and wanted to drive you out of the school to spend more time with their sisters." The dark pink-skinned girl said.

Sunset's eyes widened in shock as a few tears leaked down her cheeks, her Pikachu walking over to her in order to comfort her.

Twilight hugged her as the redhead cried into her shoulder. She couldn't believe that the real Anon-A-Miss was the little sisters of her former friends.

Soon, Sunset had calmed down. She felt her left leg being nuzzled by her Pikachu who looked at her with concern.

"Pi-ka?" the electric mouse asked, worried for his trainer and friend.

"I'm fine, buddy. Just something that I've been dealing with. Thanks for being my friend Pikachu." Sunset said to the yellow mouse Pokemon, smiling gratefully at him.

"Your mom misses you Sunset, you know that? She wants to see you again." Twilight said, smiling softly.

Sunset's eyed widened in shock as she recalled several memories of her mother. Tears started to flow down her cheeks again as she felt guilt fill her entire being.

"B-But after all I said to her, all I did...How can she forgive me like that? How can she forgive me so easily?" Sunset whimpered sadly, looking down in shame.

Twilight placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, squeezing it comfortingly. Sunset looked up at Twilight who merely smiled.

"She forgave you, Sunset. She's your mom. She still loves you." Twilight soothed, gently hugging Sunset as she felt herself nearly start to cry again.

Sunset calmed herself down as she locked eyes with Twilight, not looking away. She wiped her eyes as she faced the purple-skinned girl.

"T-Thank you, T-Twilight. For being my friend." Sunset whispered, barely able to conjure a word. Princess Twilight had never turned against her. She'd sided with her and believed that she was innocent.

"You're welcome Sunset. You seem really happy here. I'm happy for you." Twilight said softly, smiling at Sunset who gave her one in return.

"I am. I've made some friends here. Not only humans, but I've also befriended the Pokemon of this world, such as this Pikachu next to me." Sunset replied, tilting her head to the electric mouse on her left. She lowered herself to a knee as her Pikachu jumped onto her shoulder. Mimicking Ash and his Pikachu.

"Pika-Pi!" The Pikachu declared happily, Nuzzling Sunset's cheek.

"Yeah, love you too, buddy." Sunset said softly, scratching Pikachu's ear gently.

Arceus appeared behind Twilight, informing her that it was time for her to go home to Equestria.

"Come and visit soon, Sunset." Twilight offered, beginnning to walk to the portal in front of her.

"I will." Sunset said, walking over to her friend as she hugged the purple-haired alicorn. The redhead waved goodbye as Twilight walked through the portal back to her castle in Equestria.

Arceus disappeared as He went back to His dimension. Soon, it was night and Sunset had fallen asleep, pikachu on top of her chest as he cuddled with her.

Both trainer and Pokemon slept peacefully that night.
