                            Chapter 1: Paralysis

~-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~

My first thought? Holy Heck, where are my arms! As I turned to look in the mirror, I realized something wasn’t right. Am I a Dragonair? My blue, serpentine body was just like my favorite Pokémon’s.

I tried to look behind me for the telltale bulbs that are at the end of a Dragonair’s tail

but, “DRAA!” a shocking jolt of electricity ran through my body. I then tried to move again, same result.

Think you idiot, think, you’re obviously paralyzed. Now what berry cures paralysis. I looked round for the little red cheri berry. And there it was just hanging in a brush. I carefully stretch myself out but right as my lips stretched out to get the berry. I was jolted with electricity and collapsed.

Sorrowfully, I thought to myself if some trainer was to come by, I am so caught. I then gave a sigh. Let’s hope they’re kind.

“Chansey!”

“Slow down Chansey it’s dark, and scary in there.”

“Draa?” I knew that voice but....this is the Pokémon world, not equestria.

The chansey come into my view, followed by a yellow Pegasus.

“Oh my.” She said.

“DRA, DRA.” I was so excited I nearly lost my train of thought. As a lunged at her (to hug her of course, no start a wild Pokémon encounter, what? Wouldn’t you?) I was jolted with another bolt and collapsed in front of her.

“Chansey, Chan? (Translation: Are you ok?”” I-I couldn’t believe it, I can understand it!”

“Dra-Dragonair (Par-paralyzed)”

“The poor thing looks hurt.” Fluttershy said. “Chansey you think you can carry it to the Cottage?”

“Chan!” The Chansey gave a bold nod, and then went to a put me on her shoulders.

“Dra-dragonair(You really don’t have to do this.)”

“Chan-Chan! (but I want to!)”

“Air (ok)”

After long while of Chansey, dragging both my head and my tail thought the dirt, and several jolts later; we were at Fluttershy’s cottage. And it was just as depicted in the show, except it had more of a Pokémon Daycare sort of feel.

Chansey then set me on Fluttershy’s sofa.Oh, My Celestia, Discord lay here! Then I looked to her night. Oh my Celestia, Discords lamp it’s still here! While I was in awe, all sorts of pokemon gathered round me, Furrets, Bidoofs, and tons of Buneary's.

“Fur Furrrret? (Are you ok Mr?)”

“Dra-Dragonair (yeah, I’m fine).” I said shaking myself out of my brony daze.

“BUNEARRRYYY! (Yo, buck face!)” A shiny Buneary then jumped up, and was right in front of my face. “Bunearrry. (You’re in my spot!)”

“Dragonair. (Buck off, Angel)” I said, turning my face away.

He then forcefully turned my face back sending a jolt down my spine (which just happened to be most of my body) “Buneary.(What was that buck face?)“ He said, raging.

“Biiiidoof (NOW you’re in for it.)”

He then proceeded to slap me multiple times in rapid succession. ”BUN-EAR-Y! BUN-EAR-Y!”

After he had stop I have him a glare. I said angrily, “Air, Dragonair! (did you just double slap me?!)”

“Bun-buneary? (yeah what ya gonna do about?)” He said with sly grin.

That’s it! I thought I’m hyper beaming this jerk face!  “Dra!” I opened my mouth and a bright ball appeared in it. Angel looked like he might die of fright. Suddenly another jolt ended my attack abruptly.

“Bun-Buneary (hehe, paralyzed)” He said nervously.

Fluttershy then came over, parting the sea of pokemon, with a Cheri Berry. “Here ya go” she said, Setting the berry right by my head. I stretched out and worked the berry into my mouth and deliberately chewed on it and let its healing juices flow down my throat.

“Feel better?” she said. I flew to her and wrapped her in a hug. “Oh, I guess so!”

Nuzzling began to check, I used the end of my tail to search her bag for a pokeball. Why? Well If I’m a pokemon in equestria I would want the kindness pony I could find to train me.

“Aww, you're just a big softy dragon pokemon aren't you.”

Bingo, Quick Ball, oh Celestia I love these things. Carefully, I pressed it against myself. I felt energized then squeezed into the pokeball.

“Hun?” Said Fluttershy look around wondering where I went. Then a small shaking caught her attention.

It was the first shake in the three shake sequence that catches a pokemon.

“Furr furrret?(What is he doing?)”

Then came the second shake. Fluttershy slowly picked up the pokeball.

Then the third. “He wanted to join my party?” Fluttershy said with a curious tone to herself. As the lock clicked I knew I was caught.

When I just got myself comfortable, Fluttershy sent me out.

“Drraaa?(wwwhhat!?)”

“I, Umm, what do you want to be called?” I then cock my head. “Well I can’t just call you Dragonair... Whispy perhaps?”

I desperately shook my head no.

“Then um, what should I call you?”

I look around. And smiled (or the dragonair equivalent thereof) When I saw a quill and paper. I held the quill wrapped by the end of my tail and scratched out. My name is Cobalt. Then I handed it over to Fluttershy.

“Cobalt is it?” I nod happily. “Glad to meet you Cobalt.”

“I should introduce myself. My name is Fluttershy, and I run a pokemon daycare here in Ponyville. Should I show you around?”

My head nearly come off because I nodded it so hard and so fast.

she giggled “Come on then.”

After less than a minute off walking we were on Mane street, and I was spellbound by the beauty of the town. The architecture, the homey atmosphere, the farmers market, It was everything I envisioned and more.

“Now don’t go wandering too far off Cobalt. You’re a rare pokemon, and we don’t want any *glup* scary pokemon thieves to snatch you.” I could see Fluttershy was physically shaking at the idea, so I went and hovered by her to calm her nerves.

We then came across a stand where a white mare was having a few Rosellas arrange flowers for her“Oh look, Roseluck has roses in for hearts and hooves day. Maybe I’ll take enough courage to give something to Big Mac this year...”

“Dra-draaaa (You should!)”

We trotted on and saw Twilight's Library. “That’s where Princess Twilight lives when she’s not off on important canterlot business like she is right now. She and I are good friends.” I nod in understanding.

Suddenly a Totodile runs out into the street.

“GUMMY COME BACK HERE.”

“Draaa. (oh great.)” Suddenly Pinkie rushed out and grabbed her toothless water starter. And after squeezing it tightly and nuzzling it to death, she gave an audible gasp when she saw Fluttershy with me.

She started talking at her normal ,million miles an hour pace.“Oh, my gosh Fluttershy that’s an awesome pokemon. Don’t you think that’s an awesome pokemon. What do you call it. We should totally throw a party. AWESOME NEW POKEMON PARTY!”

I tried to cover my ears as she pulled out her party cannon. But fortunately Fluttershy stepped in. “Maybe tomorrow Pinkie. It’s late and me and Cobalt are really tried.”

“Draa dra (you said it) *yawn*” almost instantly Gummy fell asleep.

Oops forgot about the yawn attack.

“That’s alright, gummies tried too, see ya tomorrow”

“See you tomorrow, Pinkie.” Fluttershy then turned to me “Let’s head back home.”

I nodded. Home with Fluttershy nothing else could be better, or so I thought at the time...

That's no ordinary rabbit!

That's no ordinary rabbit!

Chapter 2: That's No Ordinary Rabbit!

~-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~

I’d guess I should tell you a little bit about myself, before I stepped into this brony dream. Well, there wasn’t much really. I was a junior in college pursuing a physics degree. But, I have to admit, my real passion was for writing MLP fanfiction. Nothing too popular or sophisticated, just a couple one-shots here and there.

Most of the time thought the stories played out in my head. Sometimes an ending was visualized before a beginning. I specialized in OC fanfiction, you gave me a situation, I could create a well balanced pony with a small back story within thirty minutes.

The Day I was transformed was on an average rainy day, and I had to walk to my apartment from the science building. My dark grey trench coat, protected my scraggly body from the fierce and chilling storm.

My felt hat was almost completely soaked though when I arrived at my home. It was deadly silent, and why shouldn’t it be? I lived alone and liked being alone. I filled the home with light and cast my text book with it’s scrawled notes on the bed then sat at my desk an booted up my laptop, and grabbed my cobalt blue DSi XL and started to play the pokemon game I had on pause.

I smiled as I prepped my team of Dragonair’s ,named after the Mane Six, for battle against the elite four.

Suddenly A chilling female voice came from behind me. “So you like Dragonairs?”

I spun my swivel chair so quickly I almost made myself sick. The sight I was met with shocked me and made my jaw drop. A shiny Zoroark stood in front of me staring me down with piercing gold eyes.

“Are you going to answer my question?”

My jaw was hanging open, speechless.

“Do you like Dragonairs?” She said with an slightly annoyed tone.

“O-of course,” I said as casually as I could. “They’re my favorite pokemon.”

She then gave an evil giggle. “Good.” She rested a paw on my shoulder.

“W-What are you doing?” I was trying to show a calm facade, but the panic in my voice was evident.

“You’ll  see.” She said.

“I don’t wanna see!” I said getting up quickly. Suddenly the Zoroark bit my shoulder and I felt like a taser had been shot directly into my spinal cord (don’t ask me how I know what a taser feels like). After she landed the Thunder Fang attack, I was out cold.

When I woke up, I was a dragonair, and all the aforementioned events took place. And since I’ve already covered them, let’s skip to that night shall we?

================================================================

Fluttershy didn’t really believe that pokemon should be crammed inside pokeballs, so I got to sleep in the just as roomy cottage with all the other pokemon she was raising and/or nursing back to health. Now you would think my serpentine body would give me an advantage in finding a comfortable position. But I was the largest pokemon there so I had a Furret, Bidoof or Buneary pressing in on me. And let me tell you they look fluffy and cute while they're awake but when they fall asleep. THEY’RE AS HARD AS STONES!!!

So I was tossing and turning (usually on top of another pokemon) all night. After I had finally gotten to sleep for a few small hours, I was woken up but a desperate urge to go to the restroom. So I slithered round the sleeping pokemon, out the cottage, and into the wooded area.         I think I’ll just tell you my experience with the new body was....interesting. Relieved, I slithered back and caught a few more Z’s before Celestia’s sun awoke me. Some Tallows and Pidgeys were singing right outside the window.

Fluttershy then came in with several bowls of leafy greens balanced on her wings. “Food time, every one.” She set down the bowls and there was a clamoring for food. I was crowded out by the smaller pokemon. I then looked to Fluttershy serving Angel’s “special” salad.

“Here you go Angel. Just the way you like it.” She said.

Angel sniffed at it and said “Buneary (it’s Acceptable).” Then started eating.

Now let me tell you that salad was more than acceptable. With giant mounds of sour cream, fresh sliced zucchini and tomato, but the most delectable thing about it was the ruby red maraschino cherry on top. Oh Celestia, how my stomach rumbled.

“Draa draaa? (what about me?)” I cried out hungrily.

“Oh, I’m sorry Cobalt. I’ve never feed a dragon type before...will you eat salad?”

I nod quickly.

“One moment.” Fluttershy disappeared into the kitchen.

While waiting, I caught a glimpse of Angle eyeing me evilly. What nasty plot was that buneary concocting?

I barely had time to think before Fluttershy came back with a fresh bowl of salad.

“Air, Air, Dragonair!(This looks great thank you!)”

As I started to eat, Fluttershy giggled and said, “You must be really hungry.”

I swallowed a big bite and nodded happily.

“Well eat up, I’ll check on the others”

“*munch,munch* Drag-Dragonair (will do)” I ate happily, but I still caught Angel grinning at at me evilly out of the corner of my eye. It creeped me out enough to drive me to scoot my bowl and myself away.

After Fluttershy check the others she asked. “If I got some fruit from tropicus, Who would eat it?”

Almost all the pokemon, cried out there affirmative answers, including me. The only one that didn’t was Angel, which made me a bit suspicious. But then again the shiny buneary did just eat that whole salad Fluttershy prepared for him, so he might be full.

Yet again he gave his evil grin, and it really freaked me out this time. He hopped off his beloved spot on the sofa and headed to me, then said. “Buneary, bun bun buneary, (hey, Cobalt I know we got of to a bad start,) Eary Buneary Buneary! (But I was wondering if you wanted to help me help Fluttershy.)”

I would have raised an eyebrow if I had any. “Air? (how so?)”

“Eary, Buneary buneary, buneary! (Well you see Fluttershy needs the honey, but it’s it the top shelf.) Bun Bun-eary buneary, (And seeing you the tallest here) Buneary, bun bun! (we could team up and get the honey together!)”

“Dragonair. (makes sense)” Then I thought for a moment. “Drag Drag, Dragonair! (But if I do help, you owe me one of those special salads!)”

Angel’s grin turned into a frown he then began to pace, weighting his costs against the rewards. “Bun, Buneary! (Fine, but just one!)”

“Dra, (deal.)” I said. Then I slithered into the kitchen, with Angel (with that evil grin.) hopping close behind. When we were in the kitchen, he hopped onto my head and “accidentally” stuck his foot in my eye.

“Aaair, Dragonaaair! (Watch where you're putting that!)”

“Bbbuneary! (Sorry bout that).” He pushed it in further before moving it onto the top of my head. I then stretched myself so Angel could get the honey from the top cupboard.

As he got a large jar of honey out, he said “Eary. (oops” and let it drop a break on top of me. Not only was I covered in the thick, amber liquid, I had several shallow, and one deep cut on my back.

“Buneary, Buneary! (Sorry, sorry!)”  He said, obviously shocked at the sight of my blood.

Swallowing the pain, I said “Air, Air, Dragonair? (How am I going to clean up this ,mess?)”

“Bunnneary buneary buneary (I’ll take care of the mess here. You clean yourself up) Bun bun, buneary,buneary. (There’s a waterfall west of the cottage, you can wash up there.)”

“Airrr, air air dragonair (OK, but tell fluttershy where I went)”

“Buunnneeeaarry! (Will do!)”

.........

As I made my way through the forest I felt rather uneasy. I could feel million of eyes on me. Which is understandable, I reeked of honey, and any trainer that’s any good at catching pokemon knows, honey attracts pokemon. I half expected a Beedrill to jump out at me every time I passed a tree. And not knowing what moves I have in my arsenal (besides hyper beam)

Shaking off the feeling I was being watched, I listened carefully for the iconic sound of falling water. To my relief the sound was nearby. I then started to ‘run’ towards the sound. I could not tell you how much I wanted to get the honey off me (not to mention clean my wounds.) As I came into a clearing, I saw a tower of sapphire blue water that jumps off a ledge 25 ft above my head then dived into a shimmering beautifully clear, clean pool.

Not wasting a moment, I slid into the waterfall pool. The water was cool but not frigid, it was sort of inviting in that way.

“Dra! Ddrrraaaa. (Ah! aaaahhhhh. wait I don’t think I need to translate that.)” I said as I slunk down to where my cuts were. The water stung at first, but then had a soothing, sort of tingling sensation. I then turned to look at my back, and noticed the cuts diminishing and healing.

A little shocked, I stroked the area with the end of my tail. My mind then raced through my knowledge of the video games, and the anime and some of the movies that I had watched for a body of water that could heal like this. Then my mind came to rest on Pokemon 4ever The one in which Celebi had brought a young Professor Oak to the future. When Celebi was sick or injured Ash brought it to a special lake or spring that healed it. Could the equestrian equivalent of that location?

But, I couldn’t dwell on that. I needed to get the smell of honey off me before a hoard of pokemon attacked me. I quickly slithered under the waterfall and let the pounding of the water wash over my scales. But still I couldn’t get that bitter-sweet smell of honey off me. Knowing Fluttershy would be back, and missing me by now, I slithered out the pool and headed back to the cottage. Now not only could I feel pokemons eyes on me, I could here them rustling through the forest. Beginning to feel a little restless, I picked up speed.

Suddenly, something large fell from above and attached itself to my back. “AAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!” Screaming, I flew into a blind panic and starting running. The Ariados on my back was only holding onto me loosely with two of it’s legs. When I blindly ran into tree, the Ariados detached  and scurried away.

Quite dazed, I peeled myself off the tree, dizzly turned in a circle then,  landed on the ground with my tongue hanging out.

.........

A wake up slap brought me out of my unconsciousness. Jolted awake, I expected to see Angel again snickering on top of me with his nasty plot grin. Instead it was the concerned looking Chaney.

 “Cobalt!” Fluttershy then ran over and hugged me with her wings.”Thank goodness you're alright.”

“Dra, drrrraaa. (I’m Fine).

She then retracted and said. “I found you passed out in the forest. Angel was concerned why you were gone for such a long while.”

Angel? I thought a little befuddled. He was concerned for me?! I then looked for him but he was nowhere in sight.

“Well it seems you're alright,”

“Chansey, Chansey.(except for the egg on your head.)” Interrupted Chansey.

Unawares what the Chansey mumbled. “So I’ll leave you in Chansey’s more than capable hands.” As Fluttershy left, Chansey dabbed my forehead with a cool damp cloth.

“Chansey, Chansey. (Turn your head for me.)” As I turned my face toward the ceiling I wrapped my mind around my previous question. Why did Angel, a pokemon which I know didn't like me show concern for me?  The answer seemed to smack me dead.

(----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------)

Chapter 3: anit no party like a pinkie pie party

As the pokemon around me woke up and ran about, I was able to stretch out my long body and worked out the knots I got from sleeping in close quarters. I hope Fluttershy will take me to the spa one of these days, I thought to myself while working out a particularly nasty one. I could use the spa’s sisters gentle touch.

As Fluttershy walked in with breakfast, there was a knock at the door. “Dragonair (I’ll get it.)” I called out. Fluttershy nodding as she saw me head for the door, and went back to the other pokemon. At the door, I was then met with the blare of kazoos and a blast of  pressurized confetti that knocked me back into Fluttershy.

“Oops.” Pinkie Pie said while coming out from behind her party cannon. “Sorry flutters, guess I should waited to fire the party cannon till no one was in front of it.” Giggling, she helped me and the quite shaken Fluttershy up.

“It’s alright Pinkie.” She said. “Mind telling why you're here?”

“We still have to celebrate you getting that Dragonair.” I then froze while eating my salad. A party for me?

“I dunno Pinke, me and Cobalt have had a hectic week.” It was then that I moved my head closer to listen more closely.

“Too hectic, to go to a party?” Pinkie Pie said while putting on her best pouty face. I also turned my face towards Fluttershy and turned on my puppy dog eyes. “Everyone’s going to be there, even Twi! Infact, she was saying she really needed to see you for some reason...”

Fluttershy looked back and forth between mine and Pinkies faces. “Oh, alright, but just for a minute.”

“Yay!” Pinkie Pie said handing her an invitation. “Be at Sugarcube Corner at one. Make sure to bring the guest of honor!” She said giving me a wink.

I turned towards Fluttershy, who was reading the invitation carefully. As I thought about my party, I smiled. I couldn’t wait for all those baked goods and pastries. My mouth watered at the thought of a freshly baked elcare, oozing chocolate, warm and soft.

.........

Party time could not have come any slower. I did a couple laps round the fence of field where Fluttershy let out the pokemon she was raising during sunny days for exercise and training. But finally, Fluttershy came out to call me in. I nearly knocked her over running past her.

“Whoa!” She said. Giggling, she then said to me. “Excited to meet my friends?”

 “DRAGONAIR! (Heck yeah!)” I said energetically.

Smiling happily, Fluttershy lead me out of the house. Then she walked the path she took me the day I arrived, all the way to Sugarcube Corner. Once inside I was immediately surround by hubbub.

“Thats a mighty strong looking pokemon.” Applejack said. “I think he could give my Arcanine a run for her money. I might borrow him at apple bucking season!”

Then Rainbow jumped into the conversation. “So he’s strong, big deal! Torkoal can still take him!”

Suddenly I felt something soft and a little squishy clamp on my tail. Sure, enough I lifted up the toothless Totodile, known to the main six as Gummy.

“Such a disgusting creature.” Rarity said. “My Delcatty would never be so uncouth.”

As I tried to get him off, Twilight started a conversation with Fluttershy. “Fluttershy, I need to speak with you alone.” Twilight said.

“Sure Twilight.” Fluttershy said letting Twilight take the lead. “But, why be so secretive?”

As Twilight lead her away I wanted to follow, but pinkie came in with a new face and an announcement.

“Hey, everypony!” Pinkie said halting the activities. “This,” she said gesturing to a young black on blue zebra striped pony. “Is Shadow, she’s a new move in.”

“H-Hi everypony.” Shadow said softly.

“Shes also a pokemon trainer!” Pinkie added. Suddenly everypony was barraging her with questions like.

“What type of pokemon do you train?”

“What's your favorite pokemon?”

“What pokemon do you usually battle with?”

“I-I like Absols...” she replied softly overwhelmed with the pressing questions.

As they surrounded Shadow, I slunk to where Twilight was talking to Fluttershy. It was already late in the conversation when I got into earshot.

“Take care of her for me.” Twilight said handing Flutter’s an ultraball.

“But Twilight,” Fluttershy said worriedly. “I’m hardly qualified to train such a regal Pokemon. Surely t-there is somepony bet-”

“Fluttershy.” Twilight interrupted with a reassuring tone. “You are the most capable, and the most kind pony a know. If any pony is going to train this pokemon, it’s you.” Twilight then looked over at me, and giggles. “Besides, I  think she will find a more than willing mate in your new Dragonair.”

Suddenly a young (around 20 years of age)  blue alicorn, with a icy blue mane swaggered in. Attracting the attention of many of the party goers including Shadow.

“Comet!” Pinkie Pie said as she raced over. “Did you do it? Did you bet the league?”

“Slow down Pinkie,” Applejack said. “I’m sure our hometown hero is thirsty after his long journey.”

Pinkie gasped, “ You're right and I have just the thing!” Pinkie then rusted into a backroom.

With a demeanor cool as ice, Comet nonchalantly passed by the mares gawking at him slid into a set.

“Who’s Mr. High and mighty?” The unimpressed shadow hissed to a pony standing next to her.

“That.” Commented Twi, walking up next to her. “Is my nephew, Prince Comet Storm.”

Pinkie Pie came back with a large cask on her back. “This stuff’s the best!,” After setting it on a stand she filled up a tankard with rainbow colored liquid and slid it down to Comet.

After chugging it down, He said with a voice as cool as his demeanor. “Ahh, zap apple cider. One of the best innovations to come out of sweet apple acres.”

“Well, thank ya kindly Comet.” Applejack said, blushing.

“Suck up much?” Shadow said leering.

“What’s with you and Comet?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“I just have this thing against royalty, ok?” She said.

I couldn’t help but notice her cutie mark was two crossed scythes. What in Equestria does that mean? I thought to myself.

Meanwhile Pinkie Pie was nagging Comet. “Did you win? Did you get a trophy? Is it sparkly? SHOW ME SHOW ME SHOW ME!!”

Comet then gave an empty chuckle and pulled out a gold trophy.

“Oooh,” all the ponies said nearly at once.

“Just look at that fake smile.” Shadow grumbled to herself as the rest of the ponies gathered round. “I bet he can’t bear to be around us.”

As I turned to look at him I could now see his smile was fake. But the look behind his eyes was not one of arrogance but one more of.... emptiness?

I what ever it was it could wait. He was prompted to give a speech “Well, it took nine hard years of hard work, and lots of support from all you ponies. But together with my team, I was able to beat the pokemon league.”

“And what now?” Shadows voice almost echoed from the back of the crowd. As ponies parted to make her visible, she spoke more. “Now that you’ve finished your journey, and the champion what are you going to do? Fly back home to Canterlot?”

“Actually I don’t live in Canterlot.” Comet replied.

“Well then you don’t mind stepping outside and having a pokemon battle with me.”

“I dunno.” He said scratching his head. “We’ve been quite tired after our battle.”

“Oh come on! A league chapon like you would make quick work of some pony like me.” She said taking out a dusk ball. “After all I only have one pokemon.”

“If you insist.” He said sliding off his seat.

“You better make it count.” She said giving an evil smile.

        Once the two had made there way out of the building, ponies filed out to watch the showdown, including Fluttershy.

        After a few overly excited males drew the boundaries of a pokemon battle field, and the pair stepped into the trainer boxes.

        “Alright, one pokemon each.” Comet said, whilst carefully selecting an ultra ball from his belt.

        “Sounds good, Prince boy.” Shadow said balancing her dusk ball on her nose.

“A-Alright.” He said, a little shocked with her boldness of the ‘prince boy’ comment. Then tossing his ultra ball he said. “Go, Lunatone!” Then the levitating crescent shaped pokemon formed out the light released from the capsule.

Then, giggling, like a mad pony, she casually tossed up her pokeball. The shadows realised by it then formed into an Absol.

Comet cooly narrowed is focused waiting for Shadow to make the first move.

She said. “Agility, Absol.” It suddenly set off

“Don’t let it get behind you, Lunatone!” Comet said. Trying to follow his master's orders he kept his eyes on the dashing harbinger. Looking to his own master for further instruction Absol received  a wink from Shadow.

After giving a curt nod, Absol started running circles around Lunatone. The hovering rock, still following it’s trainers orders spins to keep it eyes on it. Faster and faster Absol dashed. Lunatone began to be dizzy, even motion sick.

Noticing his Lunatones conditions, Comet barked. “Lunatone stop!”

But it was too late “Night slash, Absol.” Shadow said flipping her mane causally..

A shadowy aura surrounded Absol’s claws, and drags it down the Lunatone’s back quickly and powerfully. The force imparted to the floating pokemon sent it flying into a tree making the rock pokemon faint. Comet rushed over to it.

Shadow smirked. One thing was for certain, I did not like this chick. Her air was that of a bad winner just waiting for her opponent to bawl his eyes out.

Then I saw Comet whisper something to his Lunatone and put it back it it’s pokeball.

“That was a good match.” He said turning to Shadow. “If I had know you were using a Dark type, I might have sent out my Froslass. Such a pretty thing too.”

“Perhaps you should have.” Cobalt said in an infuriating tone of voice

“Hehe, yeah.” Comet scratched the back of his head. “Perhaps we should get together sometime and discuss battle technique over dinner?”

Cobalts smirk turned into a look of absolute confusion. “A-are you asking me out.”

Comet shrunk and blushed a little. “err umm... maybe.”

Shadow blushed as well. “I uh...don’t really know what to say.”

“Oh! I know! I know!” Pinkie Pie nearly jumped into the air raising her hoof. “Say Yes! Say Yes!”

Shadow giggled at the mares enthusiasm. “I don’t think it would hurt.”

Cobalt looked surprised as though he couldn’t believe it worked. “Well, um, how about tomorrow at the cafe? Round six-ish?”

Shadow nodded. “Sure...”

After a while(enough time for me to sneak back into the party and shove several eclairs in my mouth and come back), the awkward couple started to go their separate ways.

Before Shadow was out of earshot Comet did a 180 and shouted, chuckling. “I almost forgot where do you live?”

Shadow, giggled,  turned around and started walking backwards. “32 Mane St,”

“32 Mane St. I’ll remember that, thanks.”

“I think they’ll make a cute couple.” Pinkie Pie said. I just chuckled to myself and shook my head.

..........

When Fluttershy and I started to walk home the sky was already set alight by the setting sun. The few clouds there were streaked the shadows across the sky.

I, a bit sluggish due to eating too many sweets, looked to Fluttershy with a happy smile and expected one back. But Fluttershy’s brow was furrowed with deep thought.

I lowered my head and whined “Drrraaa, dragonair. (flutters what’s wrong?)”

She stopped and pulled out the ultra ball Twilight had given to her, I now saw that a tear drop shaped sapphire was embedded into it.

“So curious... Why would Twi give me something so important...” Fluttershy said looking at her reflection in the gemstone.

Fluttershy then threw the ball into the air. It spun almost in slow motion. I was all too anxious to see what was inside. Not only did Twilight say it was important but she also said I had a fair chance of mating with it. Then when I was almost to the breaking point of my patience the ball released a flash of light. And that flash, that brilliant white light, turned into the most stunning most beautiful, and most regale pokemon I’ve ever seen.
