Pinkie Pie Nuzlockes Through Kanto!by DarkAuraChaptersPinkie the Wonder Trainer (And Gilda the Douche)Pinkie Catches a Pokemon... Angel? Are You Sleeping?Old Man Coffee Viridian Forest, New CatchTHE MIGHTY WEEDLEObligatory Oak IntroPinkie the Wonder Trainer (And Gilda the Douche)In Ponyville, five mares and one baby dragon rendezvoused at the outskirts of Sweet Apple Acres. They all stood in silence for a good five minutes before Applejack broke the silence. "'Ah don't know about you guys, but 'Ah can't seem to find Pinkie anywhere." The orange mare shook her head as she idly used one hoof to move a small pebble around. "That's why we're here, right?" "But of course!" Rarity replied. "It seems she's disappeared without a trace! We simply must find her!" "No kiddin'! Without her, Sugarcube Corner wouldn't be as awesome and pranking wouldn't be as fun!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight was appalled. "Rainbow! We need Pinkie back because she's our friend and we're worried for her! Not for something you want!" Rainbow chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that." Twilight let out an exasperated sigh. As she paced the dirt paved ground, everyone else continued to discuss amongst each other. One thing was for sure; Everyone knew Pinkie was in trouble one way or another. "This is so COOL!" Pinkie raced across the entire room, checking out every little thing. After withdrawing a potion from her computer (which was odd enough), she trotted down the stairs and headed out the door, not even caring there was a woman sitting on a chair forever. Pallet Town was like scenery porn to Pinkie. From a Gamecolt, it looked all pixelly. But, with Pinkie inside the game, everything looked so vivid and clear. She could make out every detail; the daisies covered in pollen, the fresh smell of a new season, a slight gust of wind blowing in every direction. Simply put: It was beautiful. After spending almost five minutes admiring the beauty of Pallet Town, Pinkie headed for the tall grass. Right on cue, Professor Oak showed up. "Don't go out the- ... Oh Arceus, it's Red..." He sighed. "Just follow me, Red..." Obediently, she followed Oak into the lab. Oak's grandson was standing next to the table with Pokeballs, half-tempted to just snatch one, until he noticed his grandfather come inside. "Hey Grandda..." He stopped when he saw Pinkie. "Gramps! Why'd you have to bring Red here?!" The Professor sighed. "I don't even... Look, you both choose a Pokemon, got it?" Pinkie nodded her head rapidly, while Oak's grandson nodded hesitantly. "Can I please please PLEASE choose first?!" Pinkie begged. "Sure, sure, I don't care." Oak said. "WHAT?! Gramps! You said I could pick first! Why does HE have to get everything?!" Oak's Grandson whined. "Don't be such a whiny pants! I've played this game twenty times, I always go first! Oh, oh! Since you're such a no good whiny pants who says I'm stallion, I'll name you Gilda!" Pinkie giggled. "But my name's Ga-" "Ah, yes, I remember now!" Oak snapped his fingers. "His name is Gilda!" "I-you- GAAAH!" Gilda nearly ripped his hair out in sheer frustration. During that outburst, Pinkie nabbed the first Pokeball she saw and bounced out the door. "Let's see what Pokemon you are!" Pinkie said after she headed to the outskirts of Route 1. After about a half hour of trying to open a Pokeball with a hoof, she finally got it open. and what came out was... A Squirtle! "Yay! I'll name you Gummy, since you're sooooo cute and teethless!" She giggled as she picked the Squirtle up. "... What are you doing?" "Picking you up, silly!" "Aren't you going to ask why I can talk?" "Nope! Everypony can talk, and so can Squirtle like you!" Pinkie squealed. Gummy merely shrugged. "What now?" "We go to Route 1 silly!" Pinkie Catches a PokemonPinkie, with her two front hoofs a space away from the tall grass, breathed in deeply. This was it. Her new journey was actually starting. All she needed to do was walk forward. "REEEEEED!" came a high pitched scream. It took a second for Pinkie to register that others called her by Red, not Pinkie. When she turned around, she saw the fuming face of Gilda. "Hiya Gilda!" Pinkie greeted, not mad at all that Gilda ruined a perfectly awesome moment. "You..." he seethed. At his side was a frightened Bulbasaur, hiding behind Gilda's legs. "Because of you, I was forced to get a retarded Pokemon and retarded name!" Pinkie frowned slightly. "Huh? What're you talking about? You never got this mad when I named you Discord, or Trixie, or Rainbow! You just acted like it was your real name! Why're you so mad; You're not even real, silly filly!" Gilda didn't say anything for a few seconds. With a shake of his head, he turned to glare at Pinkie. "You... UGH! Let's see who's the greatest trainer! Just 'cause Granddad let you pick first and name me DOESN'T MAKE YOU BETTER!" Pinkie just shrugged. "Okie lokie dokey! Gummy! Let's battle!" "Sure, whatever," replied an apathetic Gummy. Gilda nodded at his Bulbasaur, which hesitantly walked towards Gummy. "Gummy! Use Withdraw!" Pinkie commanded. Gummy hid inside his shell for a few seconds, then came out. His defense rose! "Bulbasaur, Tackle!" "Gummy, Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Withdraw!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" Gummy's Tackle was a critical hit, which made the Bulbasaur faint! Before Gilda could be even do anything, Pinkie spoke up. "Wow! What a super duper battle! But Gilda... could you please not be so grumpy and mean? I don't like seeing you like that. So I want you to Pinkie Promise it! Pleeeeeeease?!" Gilda hesitantly put his pinky up, and Pinkie merely rolled her eyes. "Not that kind of Pinkie Promise!" She replicated what a Pinkie Promise was; With one hoof making a cross to her chest, then sticking her hoof in her eye, all while chanting 'Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye'. Gilda did what Pinkie said. "And remember! If you break a Pinkie Promise, all your bones will be rearranged painfully! All of 'em!" She said in an oddly enthusiastic way. Gilda, after a few seconds, just walked off. /Now/ Pinkie was free to enter Route 1! Apparently, she had enough dramatic entries for the day, so she trotted through the grass freely. After five steps, a Pidgey appeared before her! "Oooooh, a Pidgey! Sooo cool! But I can't catch it..." she said. "But didn't Oak give you five Pokeballs?" asked Gummy. "Huh... I guess he did! But that's really really weird, since I get Pokeballs after I bring the parcel and talk to Old Man Coffee!" "... What?" "Teehee, just forget it! Gimme a Pokeball, and use Tackle on the Pidgey!" Gummy did as instructed, and Pinkie threw the Pokeball at the Pidgey, and caught it. "Yes! My first caught Pokemon in this game! He'll be named Angel!" After a few seconds of trying to open her new Pidgey's Pokeball with her hooves, Gummy snatched it from her and sent Angel out. "Hi," Angel said. He took one look at Pinkie and sighed. "Great. Now they're letting ponies be trainers?" "Huh? Why can't ponies be trainers? I've been a trainer twenty times in a row, and a champ for nineteen of those!" "Excuse me? You're just a newbie. There's never been a pony that was champion, let alone a trainer." Even after all the weirdness that was going on today, she was /finally/ confused. ... Angel? Are You Sleeping?Pinkie stood right at the edge of Viridian City, having only taken ten minutes to get through route one. "Route one wasn't that super long, last time I remember it!" Pinkie frowned. "Whadya expect? That's the standard size for routes." said Gummy. She sighed. "Everything's just going really really weird!" "How so?" "Nopony's staying on script, the routes are longer, and I'm not a super itty bitty sprite thing!" "... The hay are you smoking?" "I'm not smoking anything! Why's everypony thinking that?" She stomped her hoof in frustration, then sighed. In a split second, her attitude turned perky so fast, it was scary. "Oh well, might as well have lots and lots more fun! And you know what reeeeally fun? Battling wild Pokemon! I really really wanna train you guys!" Pinkie, Gummy, and Angel turned back to Route one, where a Rattata appeared. "Oooooh, let's catch it!" She said as she chucked a Pokeball at it. Much to her surprise, the Pokeball bounced off of the Rattata. "Huh? Meh, it doesn't matter! Let's faint it!" "I'll do that, Pinkie. I'm only level two, you know. I need that training." He set his talons firmly on the ground as the Rattata sneered. "C'mon, I can take y-" It came so fast, he didn't even notice it until it was too late. The unexpected Tackle attack blew Angel twenty feet to a tree, which produced a loud SMACK. After two seconds, which seemed like forever, he slumped to the ground. He didn't move again. "Holy-... Oh god, Angel?" "Oh don't worry, ya little worryfilly! Angel's just sleeping!" Pinkie said, oblivious. In two seconds, Gummy fainted the Rattata, and the two of them walked towards Angel. Pinkie bent down and lightly shoved at his slumped shoulders. "C'mon buddy, we gotta get going!" No reply. "I said come one, time's a'wastin'!" Still no reply. "... Angel? Are you sleeping?" "Pinkie... He's not sleeping..." "S-So... he's napping, right?" "Uh... y-yes... He's in the middle of a very long nap... One that'll last forever." "B-But..." She stomped her hoof on the tree right above Angel's body and cried. "H-HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE! T-This is Pokemon... Pokemon only faint... Not..." She didn't have the heart to say that word. "Wait... Do you... Do you /not/ know about Nuzlocke Season?" "W-What's that?" "It's like hunting season, except Nuzlocke Season's where Pokemon die instead of faint, and Pokeballs only work on the first Pokemon of each route. That's why you couldn't catch the Rattata..." Unusually, she didn't say a word. Her tear filled eyes turned to Angel's corpse, and she nearly cried even more. Shakily, she stood up and carefully carried the body a few feet away from where it was originally. She then dug a hole with her hooves, and then brought the body in the hole, where she put the dirt back on. Gummy put a hand to Pinkie's shoulder. "If it's any consolation, he would've appriciated the burial." Pinkie nodded and tried to smile, but a quivering frown was overwhelming it. "I... I hope..." The two of them headed for the Pokemon Center and stayed there for the night. (A/N: First death, and Pinkie has to cope with Nuzlocke season. Hope you guys like Chapter 4!) Old Man Coffee Old Man Coffee A/N: /awkward laugh/ You thought I forgot about this? Don't be silly! Ahahaha... ha ha... heh... I have got to get on top of things... "Girls, girls!" Came the soft voice of a certain yellow coated pegasus as she entered Sugarcube Corner, where the rest of her friends were. Seeing her friends' sad expressions, she ever so softly said, "I'm so sorry..." "Oh, don't be sorry dear," Rarity consoled. "Now then, what were you so excited about?" Fluttershy hesitantly moved her head so a bunny would be seen on her back. "Just this morning, Angel disappeared, and I looked all over for him. Right when I was about to call the police, there he was, standing right beside of me!" Rainbow Dash perked up. "Do you guys think Pinkie'll show up like Angel did?" "I hope so," said Twilight. Rarity let out a sigh. "I don't want to be the one to dampen everyone's spirit... but the chances are slim that Angel's connected. Couldn't she have just wandered off?" Applejack nearly exploded. Did she just say... Did Rarity just doubt her friends' insistence? Did she just doubt that Pinkie could still be somewhere? The orange pony stomped her hoof on the ground so hard, a cup from a nearby table shook off and broke. "Ah can't believe you!" Rarity was shocked, as if she got a blow to the stomach. "Why darling, I want to find Pinkie as much as the rest of us, but even you must agree that Pinkie's a... rambunctious mare. She could've just bounced somewhere. After all, if Angel could come back this quick, Pinkie should be back in no time." "Um... girls?" Fluttershy said softly. "That still give ya no right to say our searchin's in vain!" "I never said that Applejack," Rarity calmly said. "Girls?" Fluttershy insisted a bit louder, though apparently not loud enough. "BUT YA'LL IMPLIED IT!" "No I didn't." "Yes ya did!" No longer calm, Rarity scowled every word, "No. I. Didn't." "YES. YA. DID." Any bit of composure she had before vanished, and was replaced with a screaming "NO. I. DIDN'T!" "GIRLS!" Fluttershy squeaked just loud enough for the other two to stop their shouting. With all four ponies' eyes on Fluttershy, she moved back slightly, too scared for eye contact. "Um... when Angel returned, he, uh, looked like he was," she gulped, "beaten!" Everyone gasped. "Is he alright?!" Twilight asked. "Um... yes. I've been trying to tell you girls, but..." she whimpered. "You were all so sad..." Applejack turned back to Rarity. "Ah' TOLD ya! If Angel's got them bruises, who knows what's happened to Pinkie!" Was that anger in Rarity's eyes? Or was it defiance, like she refused to let Applejack win. Rarity closed her eyes and breathed deeply. "Applejack..." She said calmly, probably forcing it. "Pinkie's a grown mare. I know she could be in danger. Could be. She may be the lovable, ditzy mare we know, but I know that, when it comes down to it, she can fend off any danger." Rainbow had to step in. "Even Timberwolves?" Rarity hesitated. "O-Of course!" "Rarity, I appreciate that you believe Pinkie can take care of herself, but we can't take any chances." Twilight said. At that moment, Mrs. Cake came in. "Sorry I'm late; A stallion said he saw my Pinkie. Turned out just to be some loony who wanted a quick buck. He offered me a baby colt and said it was much better than Pinkie; Can you believe that?" She wiped a tear from her swollen eyes. It was obvious she had been crying very much earlier. Applejack winced. It must've been hard for Mrs. Cake to discover that the one potential clue to finding Pinkie was just some wacko. While she wasn't related to the Cakes, Pinkie was like family to them, and a gash like that would hurt much more than any physical pain Mrs. Cake could endure. Suddenly, a wave of determination washed over Applejack. She could find Pinkie if it's the last thing she did. Pinkie wasn't just a friend; She was like family, to each and everyone on of them. She placed a hoof on Mrs. Cake's shoulder. "Don't worry, Mrs. Cake. We'll search across the land for 'er! The other four gave mixed replies, all with the same determination that Applejack had, even Rarity! Mrs. Cake quivered a smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mornin' Pinkie!" greeted an unusually upbeat Gummy. Pinkie groggily opened her eyes, still half asleep. "Erg..." She rolled back on the Pokemon Center bed and closed her eyes for a few seconds, then they bolted open. With speed only Pinkie could have, she was up, about, and hugging Gummy tightly. "That's, like, really weird how you woke up before me since I'm usually the pony that wakes up before ANYPONY but since you woke up before me that means we should have 'early-early-early-morning parties all day everyday!" She blinked. Why would Gummy be up this early, and why would he be this perky? The events of last night crept back into her mind, and, instantaneously, her hair deflated. She put her hooves to her forehead, like she was enduring a physical pain, and dropped Gummy right to the ground. "Hey," he complained as he rose from the ground. He noticed Pinkie's depressed state, and frowned. "Oh man... uh, Pinkie... I know you miss Angel and all, but..." He scratched his head, like he couldn't find the right words to say. She sniffed and turned to Gummy. It was sweet of him to actually try to lift her spirits. Even though she'd never get over the death... well, it was still nice of him to try and console her. Besides, this was her journey. Being down in the dumps wasn't going to make things better. She smiled and hugged Gummy once again, with her hair reinflating at that moment. "Thanks Gummy..." Gummy smiled awkwardly as he was suddenly hugged. "Eheh... Don't mention it..." She put him down and promptly bounced out of the Pokemon Center, with Gummy following close behind. "Well Gummy! Let's get going! Can't stay down forever, can we?" Before he could respond, Pinkie bumped into someone. "Oh, so super really incredulously sorry mister!" "Eh?" The old man turned around and blocked the sidewalk behind him with his arms stretched. "Nobody gets through MY turf until I get some coffee!" "Coff... ee?" Pinkie frowned. She hadn't a clue what coffee was. "Excuse me mister, but what's that?" "EH?! Do I have to go to the store and show you? Honestly... kids these days..." He left for a few minutes, then came back with two cups of coffee. He gave one to Pinkie. "Drink this. Growing boys need their caffeine." She started to protest that she wasn't a boy, but she took the coffee anyway. It was a miracle she could pick it up on the first try with her hooves. She drank the liquid in one gulp. Her eyes went wide, and she gave a smile much larger than any smile Pinkie ever made. She rocketed towards Route 2, shouting "COFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEE!" Gummy tried his best to follow her to the new route. Viridian Forest, New Catch"I'M ON THE ROAD TO BECOME THE GREATEST TRAAAAAINER" Gummy sighed in frustration. Pinkie had been singing this song for the entire time they were in the forest. And they've been in there for two days. Thankfully, days seemed to go quicker than normal. "AND I WON'T QUIT UNTIL I'M NUMBER OOOOONE" "Hey Pinkie?" "SO WE KEEP ON TRYING (trying)" "Pinkie." "AND THEN WE TRY SOME MORE" "WE STAY TOGETHER" "AND FINDIN' A PLACE WORTH FIGHTING FOOOOROOOR" Now was his chance. "PINKIE." "Yeah Gums?" she asked. He'd never understand how a pony like her could go from loud singing to normal questioning that fast. "Please sing a different song. I'm getting really tired of this one." "Sure!" She cleared her throat. "When I was a little filly and the sun was going dooooown" At least it was a song he didn't hear before. Suddenly, he noticed a bush rustling. "Hmm?" Gummy approached the bush and poked it. A Weedle popped out. Pinkie stopped her song and gasped. "Whoa! The first Pokemon we've seen here!" "For two days..." mumbled Gummy. She brought out a Pokeball from her bag. "Shouldn't you have me weaken it or something?" "No need! It's a Weedle; they're mega easy to catch!" Pinkie threw the Pokeball, but the Weedle blocked it with its tail. "NONE SHALL TAME THE MIGHTY WEEDLE!" it proclaimed loudly to the world. "Phooey!" complained Pinkie. "A Pokeball didn't work!" She looked in her bag for something else. Meanwhile, Gummy decided to try his hand at battling "the mighty weedle". "Hey, bug eyes!" "YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE MY POWER? ALL SHALL FALL, AND THE MIGHTY SHALL WIN! THE MIGHTY IS I!" "That's what you think! BUBBLEBEAM!" With that, Gummy shot out many upon many bubbles aimed directly at the Weedle. Before the bubbles could interact with it, though, Pinkie shouted, "GOT IT!" and threw something at the Weedle. It was a Great ball, and the Mighty Weedle got sucked in. It shook once. Twice. And then...! It stopped shaking. "Yes! I caught a WEEDLE!" Pinkie yelled. Gummy mumbled something about not being able to battle, but he stay silent afterwards. "Once we're out of this forest, we'll get Weedle introduced to the world! Hmm... You know, I think I'll call him Winona!" "...Try again." "Too girly? Okay. Uhm...Tank!" She jumped up and down in the air yelling Tank over and over again. "I... don't think he'll like that. It looks like he likes being called THE MIGHTY WEEDLE." He stood bravely and upright when saying the last three lines to make a point. "No way! That's copyright!" Before Gummy could say anything, Pinkie was already heading off for the exit, which she seemed to have spotted. Gummy had no choice but to follow. Author's Note Update? After all this time? Oh my! Cookie to who gets the reference to THE MIGHTY WEEDLE. THE MIGHTY WEEDLE"Whew!" gasped Pinkie as she rested on the soft grass. They had been training for two hours on the route in between Viridian Forest and Pewter City ("That doesn't even look like a route!" Pinkie remarked at one point). Gummy was panting as he kept defeating the wild Pokemon, unaware that the training was over. Tank/The Mighty Weedle, however, stopped training an hour prior and just stood on a high tree branch, basking in his own glory. "Hey, just how long are you going to stay up there?!" Gummy asked the Weedle, panting after each word. "THE MIGHTY WEEDLE DOES NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM A MERE WATER TYPE!" "That wasn't an order." "YOU DARE QUESTION MY MIGHT!?" "THAT WASN'T A QUESTION. Tank leaned down on his branch and pointed on of his itty bitty forelegs at Gummy. "NO ONE DARES YELL IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MIGHTY WEEDLE! YOU WILL BE PUNISHED SEVERELY! GO, WRATH OF THE DISTORTION WORLD!" Tank shot a series of String Shots at the Squirtle, who dodged them effortlessly. Gummy turned to Pinkie, who was trying to sleep on the tree she was on. "Piiiiinkiiiie, Tank's trying to call on Giratina's powers to fight me!" "Play nice you two..." Pinkie mumbled, obviously half asleep, and she turned away and snuggled up even more. Gummy turned back to Tank and shot a glare. "Listen you, stop acting so-" As he was saying that, Tank managed to score a String Shot at Gummy's mouth, leaving him only able to mumble. "MAYBE THIS WILL TEACH YOU TO BEHAVE IN THE PRESENCE OF MY MIGHTINESS!" He jumped off of his branch and rocketed at Gummy, preparing a Tackle attack. Gummy hid in his shell and used Withdraw, so that Tank would shoot right passed him... CRASH ...and into a tree. Tank got up, obviously in pain. But that wasn't going to stop him. "I SEE WHAT I NEED NOW... I NEED ULTIMATE POWER! Tank suddenly glowed, a bright light enveloping him. The light started to change in shape, and when it dissipated, there was only a yellow cocoon. Tank had evolved into a Kakuna. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU FARE AGAINST MY NEW FOUND POWER PEASANT!" Gummy chuckled. "WHAT IS SO FUNNY?!" He laughed even louder. "I DEMAND THAT YOU TELL ME AT ONCE WHAT YOU'RE LAUGHING AT!" Gummy laughed a bit more before gradually stopping. He then replied, panting every other word, "Kakuna evolves at level seven. I'm around level twelve. I'm stronger." Tank, for the first time, said nothing. Suddenly, a ringing came from where Pinkie was. There was an alarm clock next to her. Where did she get it...? Nevertheless, she clicked the button to stop the alarm and pushed the clock out of existence. "Come on every 'mon! Let's go!" They were about to enter Pewter when Gummy spoke up. "Hey Pinkie... I think we missed our catch here. We beat up lots of wild Pokemon, and that lost us our first catch." Silence. More silence. Then finally... "NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooookay!" Pinkie transitioned frighteningly fast. Together, the three of them arrived to Pewter. Author's Note Funny thing; I was going to add a YGOTAS reference, but I thought it'd be rather overkill. Besides, we've already got a huge reference in the form of a Kakuna, and it *is* a reference to another abridged series. Obligatory Oak Intro"Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon!" Said the eager voice of Professor Samuel Oak. "My name is-" "Well duh, you're Professor Oak!" And the second voice was none other than Pinkie Pie! She had played Pokemon Firered over twenty times, so she knew exactly what Oak would say. But something seemed... different. Oak didn't look like what the game called the creatures "people". He wasn't a sprite. Just a detailed "people". One other major thing was that she wasn't actually playing the game on a Gamecolt; She was /inside/ the game. But Pinkie didn't care, or didn't know. She just wanted to play the game. "Can I have a Pokemon now?! With his face twisted in confusion, Oak carefully continued his spiel. "Er... No, not at this moment. Now then, Red-" He held up a picture of his grandson- "This here's my grandson. He's been your rival since you were a baby. ... What was his name again?" "Huh? But my name's Pinkie Pie, though since I'm wearing this nifty red hat, that might explain why you might nickname me a silly willy color, and why aren't you staying with the script? I mean, HELLOOO, you're not even real, so why would you try to be real like a grumpy dumpy?" A few seconds went by before Oak just pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "What in heavens are you smoking? Of course I'm real, just like everyone else." Pinkie, being Pinkie, thought Oak's ever-so-serious expression was just a joke, so she replied, "Oooooh, okay!" with a wink and a hoof up to her head, as to replicate an OK-hand sign. Being a hoof and not a hand, it didn't look like an OK-hand sign at all. Oak apparently didn't notice, as he continued his speech. "Red! Your journey is finally starting! An adventure, a legend, is unfolding for you! Meet me at my lab later, okay?" Before Pinkie could answer, Oak disappeared, and Pinkie was inside an entirely different surrounding, which was a bedroom. She didn't ask how she teleported or why. She didn't ask how this could've happened, to be sucked into a video game. She didn't ask why her friends weren't here. There was only one thing she asked: "Why didn't I shrink into an itty bitty sprite?!" (A/N: I seriously hope I can actually finish this. Well, this is chapter one! Have fun reading! I just hope I won't quit on this like all the others, xD)
Pinkie the Wonder Trainer (And Gilda the Douche)In Ponyville, five mares and one baby dragon rendezvoused at the outskirts of Sweet Apple Acres. They all stood in silence for a good five minutes before Applejack broke the silence. "'Ah don't know about you guys, but 'Ah can't seem to find Pinkie anywhere." The orange mare shook her head as she idly used one hoof to move a small pebble around. "That's why we're here, right?" "But of course!" Rarity replied. "It seems she's disappeared without a trace! We simply must find her!" "No kiddin'! Without her, Sugarcube Corner wouldn't be as awesome and pranking wouldn't be as fun!" Rainbow Dash said. Twilight was appalled. "Rainbow! We need Pinkie back because she's our friend and we're worried for her! Not for something you want!" Rainbow chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, you're right. Sorry about that." Twilight let out an exasperated sigh. As she paced the dirt paved ground, everyone else continued to discuss amongst each other. One thing was for sure; Everyone knew Pinkie was in trouble one way or another. "This is so COOL!" Pinkie raced across the entire room, checking out every little thing. After withdrawing a potion from her computer (which was odd enough), she trotted down the stairs and headed out the door, not even caring there was a woman sitting on a chair forever. Pallet Town was like scenery porn to Pinkie. From a Gamecolt, it looked all pixelly. But, with Pinkie inside the game, everything looked so vivid and clear. She could make out every detail; the daisies covered in pollen, the fresh smell of a new season, a slight gust of wind blowing in every direction. Simply put: It was beautiful. After spending almost five minutes admiring the beauty of Pallet Town, Pinkie headed for the tall grass. Right on cue, Professor Oak showed up. "Don't go out the- ... Oh Arceus, it's Red..." He sighed. "Just follow me, Red..." Obediently, she followed Oak into the lab. Oak's grandson was standing next to the table with Pokeballs, half-tempted to just snatch one, until he noticed his grandfather come inside. "Hey Grandda..." He stopped when he saw Pinkie. "Gramps! Why'd you have to bring Red here?!" The Professor sighed. "I don't even... Look, you both choose a Pokemon, got it?" Pinkie nodded her head rapidly, while Oak's grandson nodded hesitantly. "Can I please please PLEASE choose first?!" Pinkie begged. "Sure, sure, I don't care." Oak said. "WHAT?! Gramps! You said I could pick first! Why does HE have to get everything?!" Oak's Grandson whined. "Don't be such a whiny pants! I've played this game twenty times, I always go first! Oh, oh! Since you're such a no good whiny pants who says I'm stallion, I'll name you Gilda!" Pinkie giggled. "But my name's Ga-" "Ah, yes, I remember now!" Oak snapped his fingers. "His name is Gilda!" "I-you- GAAAH!" Gilda nearly ripped his hair out in sheer frustration. During that outburst, Pinkie nabbed the first Pokeball she saw and bounced out the door. "Let's see what Pokemon you are!" Pinkie said after she headed to the outskirts of Route 1. After about a half hour of trying to open a Pokeball with a hoof, she finally got it open. and what came out was... A Squirtle! "Yay! I'll name you Gummy, since you're sooooo cute and teethless!" She giggled as she picked the Squirtle up. "... What are you doing?" "Picking you up, silly!" "Aren't you going to ask why I can talk?" "Nope! Everypony can talk, and so can Squirtle like you!" Pinkie squealed. Gummy merely shrugged. "What now?" "We go to Route 1 silly!"
Pinkie Catches a PokemonPinkie, with her two front hoofs a space away from the tall grass, breathed in deeply. This was it. Her new journey was actually starting. All she needed to do was walk forward. "REEEEEED!" came a high pitched scream. It took a second for Pinkie to register that others called her by Red, not Pinkie. When she turned around, she saw the fuming face of Gilda. "Hiya Gilda!" Pinkie greeted, not mad at all that Gilda ruined a perfectly awesome moment. "You..." he seethed. At his side was a frightened Bulbasaur, hiding behind Gilda's legs. "Because of you, I was forced to get a retarded Pokemon and retarded name!" Pinkie frowned slightly. "Huh? What're you talking about? You never got this mad when I named you Discord, or Trixie, or Rainbow! You just acted like it was your real name! Why're you so mad; You're not even real, silly filly!" Gilda didn't say anything for a few seconds. With a shake of his head, he turned to glare at Pinkie. "You... UGH! Let's see who's the greatest trainer! Just 'cause Granddad let you pick first and name me DOESN'T MAKE YOU BETTER!" Pinkie just shrugged. "Okie lokie dokey! Gummy! Let's battle!" "Sure, whatever," replied an apathetic Gummy. Gilda nodded at his Bulbasaur, which hesitantly walked towards Gummy. "Gummy! Use Withdraw!" Pinkie commanded. Gummy hid inside his shell for a few seconds, then came out. His defense rose! "Bulbasaur, Tackle!" "Gummy, Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" "Withdraw!" "Tackle!" "Tackle!" Gummy's Tackle was a critical hit, which made the Bulbasaur faint! Before Gilda could be even do anything, Pinkie spoke up. "Wow! What a super duper battle! But Gilda... could you please not be so grumpy and mean? I don't like seeing you like that. So I want you to Pinkie Promise it! Pleeeeeeease?!" Gilda hesitantly put his pinky up, and Pinkie merely rolled her eyes. "Not that kind of Pinkie Promise!" She replicated what a Pinkie Promise was; With one hoof making a cross to her chest, then sticking her hoof in her eye, all while chanting 'Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye'. Gilda did what Pinkie said. "And remember! If you break a Pinkie Promise, all your bones will be rearranged painfully! All of 'em!" She said in an oddly enthusiastic way. Gilda, after a few seconds, just walked off. /Now/ Pinkie was free to enter Route 1! Apparently, she had enough dramatic entries for the day, so she trotted through the grass freely. After five steps, a Pidgey appeared before her! "Oooooh, a Pidgey! Sooo cool! But I can't catch it..." she said. "But didn't Oak give you five Pokeballs?" asked Gummy. "Huh... I guess he did! But that's really really weird, since I get Pokeballs after I bring the parcel and talk to Old Man Coffee!" "... What?" "Teehee, just forget it! Gimme a Pokeball, and use Tackle on the Pidgey!" Gummy did as instructed, and Pinkie threw the Pokeball at the Pidgey, and caught it. "Yes! My first caught Pokemon in this game! He'll be named Angel!" After a few seconds of trying to open her new Pidgey's Pokeball with her hooves, Gummy snatched it from her and sent Angel out. "Hi," Angel said. He took one look at Pinkie and sighed. "Great. Now they're letting ponies be trainers?" "Huh? Why can't ponies be trainers? I've been a trainer twenty times in a row, and a champ for nineteen of those!" "Excuse me? You're just a newbie. There's never been a pony that was champion, let alone a trainer." Even after all the weirdness that was going on today, she was /finally/ confused.
... Angel? Are You Sleeping?Pinkie stood right at the edge of Viridian City, having only taken ten minutes to get through route one. "Route one wasn't that super long, last time I remember it!" Pinkie frowned. "Whadya expect? That's the standard size for routes." said Gummy. She sighed. "Everything's just going really really weird!" "How so?" "Nopony's staying on script, the routes are longer, and I'm not a super itty bitty sprite thing!" "... The hay are you smoking?" "I'm not smoking anything! Why's everypony thinking that?" She stomped her hoof in frustration, then sighed. In a split second, her attitude turned perky so fast, it was scary. "Oh well, might as well have lots and lots more fun! And you know what reeeeally fun? Battling wild Pokemon! I really really wanna train you guys!" Pinkie, Gummy, and Angel turned back to Route one, where a Rattata appeared. "Oooooh, let's catch it!" She said as she chucked a Pokeball at it. Much to her surprise, the Pokeball bounced off of the Rattata. "Huh? Meh, it doesn't matter! Let's faint it!" "I'll do that, Pinkie. I'm only level two, you know. I need that training." He set his talons firmly on the ground as the Rattata sneered. "C'mon, I can take y-" It came so fast, he didn't even notice it until it was too late. The unexpected Tackle attack blew Angel twenty feet to a tree, which produced a loud SMACK. After two seconds, which seemed like forever, he slumped to the ground. He didn't move again. "Holy-... Oh god, Angel?" "Oh don't worry, ya little worryfilly! Angel's just sleeping!" Pinkie said, oblivious. In two seconds, Gummy fainted the Rattata, and the two of them walked towards Angel. Pinkie bent down and lightly shoved at his slumped shoulders. "C'mon buddy, we gotta get going!" No reply. "I said come one, time's a'wastin'!" Still no reply. "... Angel? Are you sleeping?" "Pinkie... He's not sleeping..." "S-So... he's napping, right?" "Uh... y-yes... He's in the middle of a very long nap... One that'll last forever." "B-But..." She stomped her hoof on the tree right above Angel's body and cried. "H-HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO DIE! T-This is Pokemon... Pokemon only faint... Not..." She didn't have the heart to say that word. "Wait... Do you... Do you /not/ know about Nuzlocke Season?" "W-What's that?" "It's like hunting season, except Nuzlocke Season's where Pokemon die instead of faint, and Pokeballs only work on the first Pokemon of each route. That's why you couldn't catch the Rattata..." Unusually, she didn't say a word. Her tear filled eyes turned to Angel's corpse, and she nearly cried even more. Shakily, she stood up and carefully carried the body a few feet away from where it was originally. She then dug a hole with her hooves, and then brought the body in the hole, where she put the dirt back on. Gummy put a hand to Pinkie's shoulder. "If it's any consolation, he would've appriciated the burial." Pinkie nodded and tried to smile, but a quivering frown was overwhelming it. "I... I hope..." The two of them headed for the Pokemon Center and stayed there for the night. (A/N: First death, and Pinkie has to cope with Nuzlocke season. Hope you guys like Chapter 4!)
Old Man Coffee Old Man Coffee A/N: /awkward laugh/ You thought I forgot about this? Don't be silly! Ahahaha... ha ha... heh... I have got to get on top of things... "Girls, girls!" Came the soft voice of a certain yellow coated pegasus as she entered Sugarcube Corner, where the rest of her friends were. Seeing her friends' sad expressions, she ever so softly said, "I'm so sorry..." "Oh, don't be sorry dear," Rarity consoled. "Now then, what were you so excited about?" Fluttershy hesitantly moved her head so a bunny would be seen on her back. "Just this morning, Angel disappeared, and I looked all over for him. Right when I was about to call the police, there he was, standing right beside of me!" Rainbow Dash perked up. "Do you guys think Pinkie'll show up like Angel did?" "I hope so," said Twilight. Rarity let out a sigh. "I don't want to be the one to dampen everyone's spirit... but the chances are slim that Angel's connected. Couldn't she have just wandered off?" Applejack nearly exploded. Did she just say... Did Rarity just doubt her friends' insistence? Did she just doubt that Pinkie could still be somewhere? The orange pony stomped her hoof on the ground so hard, a cup from a nearby table shook off and broke. "Ah can't believe you!" Rarity was shocked, as if she got a blow to the stomach. "Why darling, I want to find Pinkie as much as the rest of us, but even you must agree that Pinkie's a... rambunctious mare. She could've just bounced somewhere. After all, if Angel could come back this quick, Pinkie should be back in no time." "Um... girls?" Fluttershy said softly. "That still give ya no right to say our searchin's in vain!" "I never said that Applejack," Rarity calmly said. "Girls?" Fluttershy insisted a bit louder, though apparently not loud enough. "BUT YA'LL IMPLIED IT!" "No I didn't." "Yes ya did!" No longer calm, Rarity scowled every word, "No. I. Didn't." "YES. YA. DID." Any bit of composure she had before vanished, and was replaced with a screaming "NO. I. DIDN'T!" "GIRLS!" Fluttershy squeaked just loud enough for the other two to stop their shouting. With all four ponies' eyes on Fluttershy, she moved back slightly, too scared for eye contact. "Um... when Angel returned, he, uh, looked like he was," she gulped, "beaten!" Everyone gasped. "Is he alright?!" Twilight asked. "Um... yes. I've been trying to tell you girls, but..." she whimpered. "You were all so sad..." Applejack turned back to Rarity. "Ah' TOLD ya! If Angel's got them bruises, who knows what's happened to Pinkie!" Was that anger in Rarity's eyes? Or was it defiance, like she refused to let Applejack win. Rarity closed her eyes and breathed deeply. "Applejack..." She said calmly, probably forcing it. "Pinkie's a grown mare. I know she could be in danger. Could be. She may be the lovable, ditzy mare we know, but I know that, when it comes down to it, she can fend off any danger." Rainbow had to step in. "Even Timberwolves?" Rarity hesitated. "O-Of course!" "Rarity, I appreciate that you believe Pinkie can take care of herself, but we can't take any chances." Twilight said. At that moment, Mrs. Cake came in. "Sorry I'm late; A stallion said he saw my Pinkie. Turned out just to be some loony who wanted a quick buck. He offered me a baby colt and said it was much better than Pinkie; Can you believe that?" She wiped a tear from her swollen eyes. It was obvious she had been crying very much earlier. Applejack winced. It must've been hard for Mrs. Cake to discover that the one potential clue to finding Pinkie was just some wacko. While she wasn't related to the Cakes, Pinkie was like family to them, and a gash like that would hurt much more than any physical pain Mrs. Cake could endure. Suddenly, a wave of determination washed over Applejack. She could find Pinkie if it's the last thing she did. Pinkie wasn't just a friend; She was like family, to each and everyone on of them. She placed a hoof on Mrs. Cake's shoulder. "Don't worry, Mrs. Cake. We'll search across the land for 'er! The other four gave mixed replies, all with the same determination that Applejack had, even Rarity! Mrs. Cake quivered a smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Mornin' Pinkie!" greeted an unusually upbeat Gummy. Pinkie groggily opened her eyes, still half asleep. "Erg..." She rolled back on the Pokemon Center bed and closed her eyes for a few seconds, then they bolted open. With speed only Pinkie could have, she was up, about, and hugging Gummy tightly. "That's, like, really weird how you woke up before me since I'm usually the pony that wakes up before ANYPONY but since you woke up before me that means we should have 'early-early-early-morning parties all day everyday!" She blinked. Why would Gummy be up this early, and why would he be this perky? The events of last night crept back into her mind, and, instantaneously, her hair deflated. She put her hooves to her forehead, like she was enduring a physical pain, and dropped Gummy right to the ground. "Hey," he complained as he rose from the ground. He noticed Pinkie's depressed state, and frowned. "Oh man... uh, Pinkie... I know you miss Angel and all, but..." He scratched his head, like he couldn't find the right words to say. She sniffed and turned to Gummy. It was sweet of him to actually try to lift her spirits. Even though she'd never get over the death... well, it was still nice of him to try and console her. Besides, this was her journey. Being down in the dumps wasn't going to make things better. She smiled and hugged Gummy once again, with her hair reinflating at that moment. "Thanks Gummy..." Gummy smiled awkwardly as he was suddenly hugged. "Eheh... Don't mention it..." She put him down and promptly bounced out of the Pokemon Center, with Gummy following close behind. "Well Gummy! Let's get going! Can't stay down forever, can we?" Before he could respond, Pinkie bumped into someone. "Oh, so super really incredulously sorry mister!" "Eh?" The old man turned around and blocked the sidewalk behind him with his arms stretched. "Nobody gets through MY turf until I get some coffee!" "Coff... ee?" Pinkie frowned. She hadn't a clue what coffee was. "Excuse me mister, but what's that?" "EH?! Do I have to go to the store and show you? Honestly... kids these days..." He left for a few minutes, then came back with two cups of coffee. He gave one to Pinkie. "Drink this. Growing boys need their caffeine." She started to protest that she wasn't a boy, but she took the coffee anyway. It was a miracle she could pick it up on the first try with her hooves. She drank the liquid in one gulp. Her eyes went wide, and she gave a smile much larger than any smile Pinkie ever made. She rocketed towards Route 2, shouting "COFFEECOFFEECOFFEECOFFEE!" Gummy tried his best to follow her to the new route.
Viridian Forest, New Catch"I'M ON THE ROAD TO BECOME THE GREATEST TRAAAAAINER" Gummy sighed in frustration. Pinkie had been singing this song for the entire time they were in the forest. And they've been in there for two days. Thankfully, days seemed to go quicker than normal. "AND I WON'T QUIT UNTIL I'M NUMBER OOOOONE" "Hey Pinkie?" "SO WE KEEP ON TRYING (trying)" "Pinkie." "AND THEN WE TRY SOME MORE" "WE STAY TOGETHER" "AND FINDIN' A PLACE WORTH FIGHTING FOOOOROOOR" Now was his chance. "PINKIE." "Yeah Gums?" she asked. He'd never understand how a pony like her could go from loud singing to normal questioning that fast. "Please sing a different song. I'm getting really tired of this one." "Sure!" She cleared her throat. "When I was a little filly and the sun was going dooooown" At least it was a song he didn't hear before. Suddenly, he noticed a bush rustling. "Hmm?" Gummy approached the bush and poked it. A Weedle popped out. Pinkie stopped her song and gasped. "Whoa! The first Pokemon we've seen here!" "For two days..." mumbled Gummy. She brought out a Pokeball from her bag. "Shouldn't you have me weaken it or something?" "No need! It's a Weedle; they're mega easy to catch!" Pinkie threw the Pokeball, but the Weedle blocked it with its tail. "NONE SHALL TAME THE MIGHTY WEEDLE!" it proclaimed loudly to the world. "Phooey!" complained Pinkie. "A Pokeball didn't work!" She looked in her bag for something else. Meanwhile, Gummy decided to try his hand at battling "the mighty weedle". "Hey, bug eyes!" "YOU DARE ATTEMPT TO CHALLENGE MY POWER? ALL SHALL FALL, AND THE MIGHTY SHALL WIN! THE MIGHTY IS I!" "That's what you think! BUBBLEBEAM!" With that, Gummy shot out many upon many bubbles aimed directly at the Weedle. Before the bubbles could interact with it, though, Pinkie shouted, "GOT IT!" and threw something at the Weedle. It was a Great ball, and the Mighty Weedle got sucked in. It shook once. Twice. And then...! It stopped shaking. "Yes! I caught a WEEDLE!" Pinkie yelled. Gummy mumbled something about not being able to battle, but he stay silent afterwards. "Once we're out of this forest, we'll get Weedle introduced to the world! Hmm... You know, I think I'll call him Winona!" "...Try again." "Too girly? Okay. Uhm...Tank!" She jumped up and down in the air yelling Tank over and over again. "I... don't think he'll like that. It looks like he likes being called THE MIGHTY WEEDLE." He stood bravely and upright when saying the last three lines to make a point. "No way! That's copyright!" Before Gummy could say anything, Pinkie was already heading off for the exit, which she seemed to have spotted. Gummy had no choice but to follow. Author's Note Update? After all this time? Oh my! Cookie to who gets the reference to THE MIGHTY WEEDLE.
THE MIGHTY WEEDLE"Whew!" gasped Pinkie as she rested on the soft grass. They had been training for two hours on the route in between Viridian Forest and Pewter City ("That doesn't even look like a route!" Pinkie remarked at one point). Gummy was panting as he kept defeating the wild Pokemon, unaware that the training was over. Tank/The Mighty Weedle, however, stopped training an hour prior and just stood on a high tree branch, basking in his own glory. "Hey, just how long are you going to stay up there?!" Gummy asked the Weedle, panting after each word. "THE MIGHTY WEEDLE DOES NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM A MERE WATER TYPE!" "That wasn't an order." "YOU DARE QUESTION MY MIGHT!?" "THAT WASN'T A QUESTION. Tank leaned down on his branch and pointed on of his itty bitty forelegs at Gummy. "NO ONE DARES YELL IN THE PRESENCE OF THE MIGHTY WEEDLE! YOU WILL BE PUNISHED SEVERELY! GO, WRATH OF THE DISTORTION WORLD!" Tank shot a series of String Shots at the Squirtle, who dodged them effortlessly. Gummy turned to Pinkie, who was trying to sleep on the tree she was on. "Piiiiinkiiiie, Tank's trying to call on Giratina's powers to fight me!" "Play nice you two..." Pinkie mumbled, obviously half asleep, and she turned away and snuggled up even more. Gummy turned back to Tank and shot a glare. "Listen you, stop acting so-" As he was saying that, Tank managed to score a String Shot at Gummy's mouth, leaving him only able to mumble. "MAYBE THIS WILL TEACH YOU TO BEHAVE IN THE PRESENCE OF MY MIGHTINESS!" He jumped off of his branch and rocketed at Gummy, preparing a Tackle attack. Gummy hid in his shell and used Withdraw, so that Tank would shoot right passed him... CRASH ...and into a tree. Tank got up, obviously in pain. But that wasn't going to stop him. "I SEE WHAT I NEED NOW... I NEED ULTIMATE POWER! Tank suddenly glowed, a bright light enveloping him. The light started to change in shape, and when it dissipated, there was only a yellow cocoon. Tank had evolved into a Kakuna. "LET'S SEE HOW YOU FARE AGAINST MY NEW FOUND POWER PEASANT!" Gummy chuckled. "WHAT IS SO FUNNY?!" He laughed even louder. "I DEMAND THAT YOU TELL ME AT ONCE WHAT YOU'RE LAUGHING AT!" Gummy laughed a bit more before gradually stopping. He then replied, panting every other word, "Kakuna evolves at level seven. I'm around level twelve. I'm stronger." Tank, for the first time, said nothing. Suddenly, a ringing came from where Pinkie was. There was an alarm clock next to her. Where did she get it...? Nevertheless, she clicked the button to stop the alarm and pushed the clock out of existence. "Come on every 'mon! Let's go!" They were about to enter Pewter when Gummy spoke up. "Hey Pinkie... I think we missed our catch here. We beat up lots of wild Pokemon, and that lost us our first catch." Silence. More silence. Then finally... "NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooookay!" Pinkie transitioned frighteningly fast. Together, the three of them arrived to Pewter. Author's Note Funny thing; I was going to add a YGOTAS reference, but I thought it'd be rather overkill. Besides, we've already got a huge reference in the form of a Kakuna, and it *is* a reference to another abridged series.
Obligatory Oak Intro"Welcome to the wonderful world of Pokemon!" Said the eager voice of Professor Samuel Oak. "My name is-" "Well duh, you're Professor Oak!" And the second voice was none other than Pinkie Pie! She had played Pokemon Firered over twenty times, so she knew exactly what Oak would say. But something seemed... different. Oak didn't look like what the game called the creatures "people". He wasn't a sprite. Just a detailed "people". One other major thing was that she wasn't actually playing the game on a Gamecolt; She was /inside/ the game. But Pinkie didn't care, or didn't know. She just wanted to play the game. "Can I have a Pokemon now?! With his face twisted in confusion, Oak carefully continued his spiel. "Er... No, not at this moment. Now then, Red-" He held up a picture of his grandson- "This here's my grandson. He's been your rival since you were a baby. ... What was his name again?" "Huh? But my name's Pinkie Pie, though since I'm wearing this nifty red hat, that might explain why you might nickname me a silly willy color, and why aren't you staying with the script? I mean, HELLOOO, you're not even real, so why would you try to be real like a grumpy dumpy?" A few seconds went by before Oak just pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "What in heavens are you smoking? Of course I'm real, just like everyone else." Pinkie, being Pinkie, thought Oak's ever-so-serious expression was just a joke, so she replied, "Oooooh, okay!" with a wink and a hoof up to her head, as to replicate an OK-hand sign. Being a hoof and not a hand, it didn't look like an OK-hand sign at all. Oak apparently didn't notice, as he continued his speech. "Red! Your journey is finally starting! An adventure, a legend, is unfolding for you! Meet me at my lab later, okay?" Before Pinkie could answer, Oak disappeared, and Pinkie was inside an entirely different surrounding, which was a bedroom. She didn't ask how she teleported or why. She didn't ask how this could've happened, to be sucked into a video game. She didn't ask why her friends weren't here. There was only one thing she asked: "Why didn't I shrink into an itty bitty sprite?!" (A/N: I seriously hope I can actually finish this. Well, this is chapter one! Have fun reading! I just hope I won't quit on this like all the others, xD)
