Reduced to Ponies

"Hellooooo, anypony home?" Palkia then felt something tap his horn several times. "Wake up! Wake up!" He was then bounced on several times the unknown pony's hooves digging into his ribs. He reluctantly opened his eyes. What he saw was a cyan blue pegasus named Rainbow Dash with an evil grin on her face.

"STOP, YOU PATHETIC EQUINE!" Bolting up as he yelled at her.

"Aww, is somepony gwumpy?"

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight had appeared at the top of the stair with a disapproving look on her face.

"What?" She said shrugging her shoulders.

"He's still my guest and I will not stand for you being rude." She then started to look around on the bookshelves around the stairs.

"Augh! fine..." She groaned. "What a killjoy..."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!"

Twilight stared at her friend before going back to the shelves. Smiling slightly she finally pulled a dark green book from it's resting place with her magic.

"Here ya go Rainbow Dash, the newest book of Daring Do. Now could you please leave my guest alone?"

Rainbow Dash swooped down and grabbed the book before Twilight had a chance to levitate it higher to her airborne friend.

"Thanks Twilight, I've been waiting ages for it!"

"You've only just found out about it this morning." Twilight deadpanned.

"And your point is....?"

"Ugh, nevermind."

With a triumphant grin she zoomed out of an open window on the lower floor.

"Twilight Sparkle." Palkia said as he looked down at his rumbling belly.

"Yes? Oh oh right." Turning towards the door on the far end of the room and took a breath. "Spike! Spike is breakfast done yet?"

"Not yet Twilight!"

"Breakfast will be done in a moment." She said smiling. Turning back towards him.

Suddenly a figure groaned and lifted herself from the floor. "And I assumed Palkia was loud." Dialga grumbled.

"Ha ha... sorry about that." She said smiling sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.

"Just try not to do it again Twilght Sparkle."

"Oh you can just call me Twilight."

"Very well."

"I need to visit the place where I appeared." Palkia stated.

"Why?"

"I need to examine the area for spacial disturbances."

"And I for temporal."

"How are you planning to do that?"

"There are certain signs you can learn to see when an area has been disturbed by something spacial or temporal."

"Like what?"

He sighed in irritation. "Density of soil, dryness of grass, air toxicity, and other things."

"Fascinating." Twilight had now pulled out a paper and quill and was now taking notes.

"Perhaps we should write down what we know Twilight, if that would speed things along."

"Oh yes please!" She beamed.

"Very well. As soon as we learn how to use your world's magic." Twilight's face fell slightly.

"Oh."

Dialga was smiling slightly at the purple unicorn. He gave her a strange look, and when she saw him looking her face turned serious again.

"Breakfast is ready!" Spike called from the kitchen.

"Come on! Your going to love Spike's pancakes."

***

Palkia and Dialga both stared uncertainly at the pile of pancakes before them. Maple syrup and butter covered the first couple pancakes. He leaned over and sniffed them. They smelled... good. He closed his eyes and took in the aroma. Before tilting down to take a bite. Fluffy goodness complimented with the sweet taste of maple filled his mouth. He slowly began to chew but he was soon wolfing down the rest.

The other three beings at the table stared at him. Twilight giggled but stopped when he shot her a glare.

"Dude... that was awesome!" The little purple dragon exclaimed.

The pancakes had done something to him, he was sure of it. Even though was still hungry he pushed his chair back violently and stormed out of the kitchen and continued outside. Twilight and Spike looked confused. While Dialga looked thoughtful.

Stomping through Ponyville he threw up little clouds of dust as he walked and glaring at anypony who tried to say hi or talk. Eventually he lost himself in thought with the same questions running through his head, What were in those pancakes? How will I get my power back? And why is *Celestia** in charge? And why everything so colorful!?* At the last one he looked around at the multi-colored houses and grimaced in disgust.

The houses and shops then ended and he found himself on the outskirts with grassland continuing beyond.

"It seems that I have found where I wanted to go..."

He then started walking towards the place where Dialga and him had appeared.

"Hey!"

He groaned. "Not again..."

"Hey Palkia, where do you think your going?"

He turned to see Rainbow Dash hovering a few feet away with her hooves on her hips.

"I thought you were going to read."

"Yeah I was until I saw you heading to leave town."

"I was not aware I could not leave."

"Well, you can't be trusted!"

"So you only allow trustworthy equines to leave?"

"Well, no...."

"So only me?"

"Eeyup."

"Whatever." He turned to walk again. "I have important business, leave pathetic equine."

"Hey I'm not done!" She flew in front of him and planted her hooves on the ground and started pushing his chest with her front hooves. He continued walking as if nothing was happening.

"Urrgh.... you're... strong aren't ya?"

"Of course, I am the ruler of space, pathetic equine."

"Yeah...ugh...sure you are."

"You doubt my power?"

"Well... duh!"

"Enough." He then sent the rainbow colored pony sprawling to the side of him, he then saw he was were he came into this world. He then leaned down to examine the ground.

"Hey! That was- What are you doing?"

"Quiet."

"No, not until you tell me!"

He rolled his eyes and then turned to her. "I'm checking the area for disturbances in space."

She raised an eyebrow. But stayed silent.

He rubbed a hoof over the dirt. Observing how it fast it fell and how. He then sniffed the air and stiffened. Not good... not good at all. He then ran a hoof over the top of the grass making note of its reaction. He then put an ear to the ground and then look at it closely. He jumped back when he saw two gleaming red eyes and wicked teeth jump out at him. He reared back and when his hooves touched the ground to his surprise it started to crumble, and he started to be sucked into it.

"What the-" Rainbow Dash said but then grabbed his tail trying to pull him out. "Hold on!" She pumped her wings furiously but to no effect she too was soon being dragged down the hole. The ground underneath his back hooves eventually crumbled and they both fell into the darkness. The ground as if going back in time sealed back up, leaving it as if nothing had happened.

***

He fell for quite a while with something hanging on his tail, all was dark so he couldn't see where he was falling and when he stretched his hoof out he was met by extreme pain. After about a minute of falling he saw a gray surface coming up to meet him. He met it with a painful thump and then the thing hanging on to his tail hit his back. A rainbow tail came into view just above him with a groan.

He blew the the hair out his eyes and looked around. Walls rose up, twisted, and turned around him with grey fog between the spaces. His blood ran cold as he realized where he was.

"The Twisted Dimension..." He said hoarsely.

"What was that?" Rainbow Dash asked as she rolled off his back.

He slowly got into a sitting position. "The Twisted Dimension."

"And what's that?"

"I created it as a prison for a very evil pokemon."

"A prison? For who?"

"Giratina."

"I'm still not following you."

"Very well since we have no hope of getting out of here I'll might as well tell you."

"OK, wait what!?"

"We'll never get out of here as long as I'm in this state."

"But you said you created it! Why wouldn't you be able to get out!?"

"BECAUSE I HAVE NO POWER YOU PATHETIC EQUINE!!" She cringed at his outburst. "It is locked to me..."

Aww is somepony mad? A voice chuckled darkly.

"Show yourself Giratina! Face the ruler of space!"

Straight to the point as always Palkia, so boring. Fine. A dark shadow started to seep in from the ground. Slowly starting to form into a pony-like shape. Finally, standing about two feet taller that him was Giratina, not as his pokemon form but, as an alicorn. His general color scheme was grey, red, and gold. The gold mostly being his armor on his hooves, head and chest. His horn was slightly curved and black as night, barely visible in his current surroundings, his wings instead of normal alicorn wings like Celestia and Luna were almost like hands of shadow with red tips on the tentacles. His eyes were solid red and his hair a mixture of black and gold that floated much like Luna's and Celestia's.

"Miss me?" His right eye flickering between red and gold for a second.
