Hello everyone, I'm back with another crossover-themed story featuring Pokémon and My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, prior to a reviewer's request. Instead of those other stories where it took place during the end of the Kalos League and during Alola, this story will take place after Ash won the Alola League. So now, on with the story!
Chapter 1
Friendship is Magic Part 1
In the grass there was a book that had open "Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land." When pages shown Equestria then it shows two sisters that are unicorns with wings called Alicorns "To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus, the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and their subjects, all the different types of ponies." As the two controls night and day "But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. The ponies relished and played in the day her elder sister brought forth, but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn." As the younger one was jealous of her sister now refuse to lower the moon "The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon." As darkness roam inside her had changed her to evil "She vowed that she would shroud the land in eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponydom: the Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the Elements of Harmony, she defeated her younger sister, and banished her permanently in the moon. The elder sister took on responsibility for both sun and moon."
As the book closes, the narrator's voice had changed right at the laboratory of the famous Professor Oak. In the lab, sitting on a couch were two boys, one was boy that has black hair and brown eyes, and always wears a cap. He has two lighting bolts-like markings underneath each eye and has a narrow, triangular, edgy, tuft of hair in the middle of his forehead, that comes to point on the right side. Without a cap, he has a cowlick. He was wearing a white and blue striped short-sleeved loose shirt, brown Capri pants with red outlines with baggy pockets and red folded sleeves at the edge of his Capri pants and shades of blue sneakers. His hat is red, dark blue and gray and the PokéBall design is white. He also wears a black Z-Power Ring on his left wrist. His name was Ash Ketchum. The other boy who was older than he was and has olive green hair and wears a short-sleeved, green shirt with a darker green border on it, dark red shorts, a headband which was colored salmon, orange socks and tennis shoes colored purple and bright orange, with white soles. His name was Tracey Sketchit and he was with Ash on his adventures in the Orange Islands. He was a Pokémon Watcher who watches Pokémon for research.
Now, Ash has been on many adventures and has won both the Kalos League and the Alola League and has went back to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova and has successfully won those leagues. During that time, some of his Pokémon had evolved and returned to him. He even traded some of his Pokémon as well. Ash had his Squirtle and Primeape given back to him from their training, his Butterfree, Pidgeot, Greninja, Goodra, and Naganadel had returned to Ash's family.

He even caught Skrelp, Flygon, Snover, Spoink, Hippopotas, Houndour, Riolu, Luxio, Passimian, Venipede, shiny Phantump, and Zorua, who he also helped out too, but the Zorua he helped had telepathy.

Riolu had evolved into a Lucario. Larvitar had evolved into a Pupitar And was close to become Tyranitar. And we all know Bulbasaur doesn't like to evolve, that we found out at the Mysterious Garden, and Squirtle would rather stay himself if it wanted to still be apart of the Squirtle Squad. He also traded all 29 of his Tauros for new Pokémon he never had like Honedge, a Steel- and Ghost-Type, Alakazam, a Psychic-Type, Golem, a Rock- and Ground-Type, Eevee, a Normal-Type, Absol, a Dark-Type, Rhyhorn, a Ground- and Rock-Type cloned by Mewtwo, Rapidash, a Fire-Type also cloned by Mewtwo, Cubchoo, an Ice-Type, Bouffalant, a Normal-Type, Gourgeist, a Ghost- and Grass-Type, Whiscash, a Water- and Ground-Type, Sawk, a Fighting-Type, Throh, also a Fighting-Type, Mienfoo, also a Fighting-Type, Emolga, an Electric- and Flying-Type, Metang, a Steel- and Psychic-Type, Golett, a Ground- and Ghost-Type, Bannette, a Ghost-Type, Lairon, a Steel- and Rock-Type, Ampharos, an Electric-Type, Hitmontop, a Fighting-Type, Mandibuzz, a Dark- and Flying-Type, Golduck, a Water-Type, Duskull, a Ghost-Type, Blitzle, an Electric-Type, Electrike, also an Electric-Type, Druddigon, a Dragon-Type, Solosis, a Psychic-Type, Tirtouga, a Water- and Rock-Type, and Archen, a Rock- and Flying-Type. Even the Legendary Sunne Pokémon Solgaleo returned to Ash and became a part of his family. Ash even kept his ride Pokémon Garchomp from when he was in Alola as part of the Ultra Guardians. Now that he successfully won all seven leagues, he was now a Pokémon Master.
Tracey was amazed at the story Ash told him.
Tracey: Wow! That's a great story, Ash!
Ash: Thanks, Tracey! My mom always read me this when I was 5.
Tracey: You think it's true Ash if that place was real?
Ash: I wish it was Lana but it isn't.
Later, Ash was busy playing with his Pokémon at Oak's corral, while Ash's mom, Delia Ketchum, had stopped by to see Professor Oak, when he heard a familiar voice.
?: Ash...
Ash looked around, but there was no one there.
Ash: Hello?
Then, he heard the voice again!
?: Ash...over here!
Ash walked over to a small patch of trees and in the center, was a large rock that had some moss on it.
Ash: (calling out) Where are you? (as Pikachu, his good buddy, was on his shoulders confused as well)
Then, all of a sudden, an in between medium-sized and large Pokémon appeared. It a white equine resembling a qilin or centaur with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. It also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. It was called Arceus, aka the God of the Pokémon World. Ash had met this Pokémon before during his time in Sinnoh, but unlike other Pokémon, he has telepathy.
Ash: Arceus! What a surprise! What are you doing here?I
Arceus: Ash I want to take you somewhere.
Ash: (confused) Take me...to where may I ask?
Arceus: You want to know if Equestria exists Ash?
Ash: Equestria? Like in the book and in my dream I had?
Arceus: That's why I'm taking you there because you are half human, Ash, and also you're half Alicorn.
Ash was out of words when Arceus said this.
Ash: Then, why are you saying this?
Arceus: Because those two sisters you learn about celestia and Luna they're your older sisters.
Ash: (shocked) What my older sisters?!
Just then, Delia came out and saw Ash with Arceus. She decided it was time for Ash to know the truth.
Delia: Yes,Ash! It's true!
Ash turned and saw his mom behind him.
Ash: Mom, is this true?!
Delia: Yes, Ash! Celestia and Luna are your older sisters and you are the lost prince of friendship.
Ash was silent then looks at his mom.
Ash: Why didn't you tell me? Did they know about me?
Delia: No! We live our lives here in our world. They think you and I are dead Ash.
Ash felt bad when they think they're gone. Then, Ash has made up his mind.
Ash: Mom, I want to see my sisters in Equestria.
Pikachu: (pleading) PIKA PI!
Ash: Of course you can come, buddy! Heck, I'll bring everybody with me.
So, Ash got all of his Pokémon together into his backpack and returned to where Arceus and Delia were.
Delia: Ash, before you go, here! (hands Ash a letter) Give this to them once you see
Ash: (hugs his mom as she hugs back) I will, mom!
Then, Ash and Pikachu floating up and Arceus actives the light as Ash was sucked in to it as the light was gone.
Arceus: Have a great adventure Ash! For what lies ahead will amaze you! (disappears)
(Ponyville)
At outside of the place called ponyville there was a purple unicorn has purple mane with a pink highlight on it even her own tail as she too was reading the same book as Ash had. Her name was Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight: (reading) ...and harmony has been maintained in Equestria for generations since. Hmm... Elements of Harmony. I know I've heard of those before... but where?
Twilight was puzzled as she's walking towards the bridge as three ponies show up.
White Unicorn: There you are, Twilight! Moon Dancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard. You wanna come?
Twilight: Oh, sorry, girls... I've got a lot of studying to catch up on. (running towards the other direction)
White Unicorn: (sigh) Does that pony do anything except study? I think she's more interested in books than friends.
Twilight: (still running) I know I've heard of the Elements of Harmony. (stops and sees a bright light that was shooting from the sky like a shooting star) By the name of Celestia what's that? (wonders what it was as she watched it crash near her direction after it went passed her towards the bridge) I must investigate the light right now. (more curious of seeing what crashed as she made up her mind and went to look for it) It must be a new discovery I like to see. (running over there of excitement till she stops seeing something) What's that? (she saw pikachu which she doesn't know what it is as she saw him with somepony was badly hurt) Oh my goodness is he hurt? (she thinks that light hurt him as she's running towards him)
Pikachu wakes up seeing a pony but the fur was orange, has a messy raven mane and tail then he has a symbol on his flank looks like a PokéBall with sword on it as pikachu recognize the hair it was Ash in his earth pony form.
Pikachu: (trying to wake up Ash) PIKA PI!
Ash was unconscious as Twilight walks over pikachu spots her as he's protecting his friend.
Pikachu: (threatening and protective while sparking ready to shoot a Thunderbolt) PIKA PIKA!
Twilight: (reassuring) Easy there, little guy. I came to help you! Is he hurt?
Pikachu lowers his Thunderbolt knowing she's here to help Ash and can trust her. It nods to her as twilight used her magic and takes him to the castle then there was a baby purple dragon, named Spike, was carrying the present as the door was pushed open.
Spike: (as Twilight and pikachu came in with Ash still unconscious) Ow!I
Twilight: (calling) Spike! Spi-ike! Spike?
Spike: (on the floor) (groans)
Twilight: There you are. Quick, find me that old copy of Predictions and Prophecies and take our guest over to the sofa. (sees the present) What's that for?
Spike: (picks up the present and removes it from his tail) Well, it was a gift for Moon Dancer, but... (squeaking sound of the present)
Twilight: Oh Spike, you know we don't have time for that sort of thing. (looks for something)
Spike: (as he's helping pikachu which he doesn't know what he is putting Ash on the sofa but one about Ash was he has his head covered by his cap was ruined during the crash means that Twilight hadn't seen his face yet) But we're on a break!
Twilight: (using her magic to find the book she was looking for) (frustrated) No, no, no... no, no, no! [grunts] (shouts) SPIKE!
Spike: (showing the book) It's over here!
Twilight lifted the book along with Spike off of the ladder.
[whack]
Twilight: Ah! Elements, Elements, E, E, E... Aha! Elements of Harmony (confused) see: Mare in the Moon?
Spike: (as Twilight was finding the page) Mare in the Moon? But that's just an old ponies' tale.
Twilight: (searching) Mare, mare... aha! (reading) The Mare in the Moon, myth from olden pony times. A powerful pony who wanted who wanted to rule Equestria, defeated by the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned in the moon. Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal! (gasps) Spike! Do you know what this means?
Spike: No- whoa! (falls and lands on Twilight with a smack) Ow!
Twilight: Take a note please, to the Princess.
Spike: (pulls out a scroll and quill) Okie dokie.
Twilight: (as Spike writes what she says) My dearest teacher, my continuing studies of pony magic have led me to discover that we are on the precipice of disaster! (pauses)
Spike: (not knowing how to spell it) Hold on. Preci... preci...
Twilight: Threshold.
Spike: (not knowing how to spell that either) Threh...
Twilight: Uh, brink?
Spike: (silent)
Twilight: (frustrated again) Ugh, that something really bad is about to happen! (continues) For you see, the mythical Mare in the Moon is in fact Nightmare Moon, and she's about to return to Equestria, and bring with her eternal night! Something must be done to make this terrible prophecy does not come true. I await your quick response. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.
Spike: (writing) Twi... light Spar... kle. (finishes) Got it!
Twilight: Great! Send it.
Spike: Now?
Twilight: Of course!
Spike: Uh, I dunno, Twilight, Princess Celestia's a little busy getting ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. And it's like, the day after tomorrow.
Twilight: That's just it, Spike. The day after tomorrow is the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration! It's imperative that the Princess is told right away!
Spike: (not knowing how to spell it) Impera... impera...
Twilight: (shouted irritated) IMPORTANT!
Spike: (crashes) Whoa! [crunch] Okay, okay! (sending the message[inhales then exhales spewing fire]) There, it's on its way. But I wouldn't hold your breath...
Twilight: Oh, I'm not worried, Spike. The Princess trusts me completely. In all the years she's been my mentor she's never once doubted me.
Then, she and Spike heard Ash was waking up.
Ash: Oh...my head...I feel like I got hit by a tree?
Twilight: (walking to him) Hey, easy there, you just woke up and you're still injured.
Ash's hat dropped they saw each other eye to eye and first time Twilight saw his face but it's like she had a pink streak showing on her face as Ash answered first.
Ash: Hi, who are you?
Twilight: (snaps out of her freeze pose) Right, I'm Twilight Sparkle I found you and your friend at the trees and we brought you here, and this is Spike.
Ash: Twilight, nice name. I'm Ash Ketchum, and it seems you two met my friend Pikachu.
Pikachu: (greeting) PIKA PIKACHU!
Twilight: (face was red again) Oh, why thank you, Ash, and it's nice to meet you.
But Ash was still dozing from the crash.
Spike: (bringing over a glass of water) Here, I got you water, Ash.
Ash: Thanks, Spike. (goes to pick up the glass as he saw he has a hoof) What the? (saw his reflection showing his pony self as he sees it for the first time) (thinks) Wow! I'm a pony! I guess when Arceus sent me here I must've change to this body.
Twilight: (concerned) Ash...feeling okay?
Ash knew that she'll think he's crazy if he tells her who he is as he played along.
Ash: I'm fine,Twilight. So, you live here?
The talk stops when the message came.
Spike: [belch]
Twilight: See? I knew she would want to take immediate action.
Ash was confused of what is she talking about as Spike reads the message.
Spike: [clears throat] (reads) "My dearest, most faithful student Twilight. You know that I value your diligence and I trust you completely." (pauses)
Twilight: Mm-hm!
Spike: (continues) "…but you simply must stop reading those dusty old books!"
Twilight: [gasp]
Ash: Uh, any chance you can tell me what's going on?
Twilight said nothing as she took Spike, Ash and Pikachu to Ponyville.
Spike: (continues as Ash looks at the message) "My dear Twilight, there is more to a young pony's life than studying, so I'm sending you to supervise the preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration in this year's location: Ponyville. And, I have an even more essential task for you to complete: make some friends!"
Twilight: [sigh]
Spike: Look on the bright side, Twilight. The Princess arranged for you to stay in a library. Doesn't that make you happy?
Ash: I don't know who your princess's name is, but it's sounds like a great idea.
Twilight: (believing that Ash is right) Yes, yes it does. You know why? Because I'm right! I'll check on the preparations as fast as I can, then get to the library to find some proof of Nightmare Moon's return.
Ash: (looks at her) Twilight, I don't think that's what she meant.
Spike: Then... when will you make friends, like the Princess said?
Twilight: She 'said' to check on preparations. I am her student, and I'll do my royal duty, but the fate of Equestria does not rest on me making friends.
Guards: (landing) [whinnying]
Twilight: Thank you, sirs.
Guards: [huffing]
Spike: Maybe the ponies in Ponyville have interesting things to talk about. Come on, Twilight, just try!
Then, they saw the other pony was completely pink walking towards them.
Twilight: (to the pony) Um... hello?
Pink Pony: [prolonged gasp] (rushes off)
Twilight: Well, that was interesting all right. (sees Ash and Pikachu walking) Where are you two going?
Ash: You said you'll be my tour guide for Equestria Twilight. Perhaps you can show us around.
Pikachu: (on top of Ash's head) PIKA PI!
Twilight knows she has no time for this nonsense because she's on a important mission as she then made up her mind.
Twilight: It's true, Ash. We should do a tour.
[sigh]
Spike: (as they enter in the farm called Sweet Apple Acres) Summer Sun Celebration official overseer's checklist. Number one, banquet preparations: Sweet Apple Acres.
Ash and Pikachu looks at the scenery.
Ash: (amazed) Wow, there's so many apples.
Pikachu: (eyeing at the apples, amazed) PIKA!
"Yeehaw!" As they heard the shout and saw a pony has orange fur like Ash, yellow mane and tail, wears a cowgirl hat and has a symbol of a apple as she charges to the tree and hits it with a THUMP.
Twilight: [sigh] Let's get this over with... Good afternoon. My name is Twilight Sparkle- (as Twilight was cut off the sentence)
Orange Pony (named Applejack) Well, howdy-doo, Miss Twilight, a pleasure makin' your acquaintance. I'm Applejack. We here at Sweet Apple Acres sure do like making new friends!
Ash: Nice to meet you, Applejack. I'm Ash Ketchum, and this is my friend, Pikachu. It's great to meet new friends.
Pikachu: (greeting) PIKA PIKA!
Twilight: Friends? Actually, I- (she was cut off again)
Applejack: So, what can I do you for?
Twilight: [snickering] [clears throat] "Well, I am in fact here to supervise preparations for the Summer Sun Celebration. And you're in charge of the food?
Applejack: We sure as sugar are! Would you care to sample some? (takes Ash and Twilight to the table)
Ash: Thanks, Applejack, for accepting us over.
Twilight: As long as it doesn't take too long... (Twilight hadn't finish as Applejack rings the triangle bell)
[triangle ringing]
Applejack: Soup's on, everypony!
There was a [thump] as a whole lot of ponies Ash assumed was Applejack's family came over and surrounded them.
Applejack: Now, why don't I introduce y'all to the Apple family?
Twilight: Thanks, but I really need to hurry- (but as they show up)
Applejack: (introduces her family as they gives them food) This here's Apple Fritter. Apple Bumpkin. Red Gala. Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Caramel Apple, Apple Strudel, Apple Tart, Baked Apples, Apple Brioche, Apple Cinnamon Crisp... [deep breath] Big McIntosh, Apple Bloom and Granny Smith. Up'n'attem, Granny Smith, we got guests.
Granny Smith: [snort] Wha..? Soup's on? I'm up, here I come, ahm comin'...
Applejack: (to Ash and Twilight) Why, I'd say you're already part of the family!
Twilight: (spits out the dessert) [nervous laughter] Okay, well, I can see the food situation is handled, so we'll be on our way.
Youngest filly named Apple Bloom: Aren't you two gonna stay for brunch?
Twilight: Sorry, but we have an awful lot to do...
Apple Family: [disappointed sighs]
Ash: (unimpressed) Twilight! Applejack and her family were invited us over for brunch that's not a way to say this to them that had them disappointed.
Twilight: (looks at them as she has a sign of defeat) ...fine. (looks at Ash) (thinks) I can't believe I just listen to him, but why?
The Apple Family were cheering while they're done of brunch Twilight, Spike and the family couldn't believe how Ash finish off that food as they're walking.
Spike: Food's all taken care of, next is weather.
Twilight: (full) Ugh... I ate too much pie... (sees Ash is doing fine) (thinks) Is Ash a pony or a disposal?
Spike: (looking around) Hmm, there's supposed to be a Pegasus pony named Rainbow Dash clearing the clouds.
Ash: (looking at the clouds, as was Twilight) The clouds look fine.
Pikachu: (agreeing) PIKACHU!
Twilight: Well, she's not doing a very good job, is she?
Wasn't till a blue blur came and crashed them to a puddle.
[whack]
[splat]
Twilight: Nng.
A blue pegasus with rainbow mane and tail looks at them. Ash assumed it was Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash: [sheepish laughter] Uh, 'scuse me? [more sheepish laughter]
Twilight: Nnnn.
Rainbow Dash: [laughter] Lemme help you. (brings over a cloud rain was rushing down)
[rushing water]
Rainbow Dash: [more sheepish laughter] Oops, I guess I overdid it. Um, uh, how about this? My very own patented Rain-Blow Dry! (she spins ike a tornado of rainbow as she was done twilight's hair was messed up) No no. Don't thank me. You're quite welcome. [bursts out laughing]
Twilight: Let me guess. You're Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash: The one and only. Why, you heard of me?
Ash: Well, yes we do, and first time we met you.
Twilight: and I heard you were supposed be keeping the sky clear. [sigh] I'm Twilight Sparkle, and the Princess sent me to check on the weather.
Ash: And I'm Ash Ketchum. I'm new here. (points to Pikachu) And this is my good buddy, Pikachu.
Pikachu: (greeting) PIKA PIKACHU!
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, yeah, that'll be a snap. I'll do it in a jiffy. Just as soon as I'm done practicing.
Twilight: Practicing for what?
Rainbow Dash: (pointing to a poster) The Wonderbolts! They're gonna perform at the Celebration tomorrow, and I'm gonna show 'em my stuff!
Ash: The Wonderbolts?
Rainbow Dash: Yep!
Twilight: The most talented flyers in all of Equestria?
Rainbow Dash: That's them!
Twilight: Pfft! Please. They'd never accept a Pegasus who can't even keep the sky clear for one measly day. (Ash looks at her)
Rainbow Dash: Hey, I could clear this sky in ten seconds flat.
Twilight: Prove it.
Rainbow Dash: (hitting the clouds) [whooshing noises] [sounds of exertion] Loop-de-loop around, and wham! What'd I say? Ten. Seconds. Flat. I'd never leave Ponyville hanging.
[sheep baaing]
Rainbow Dash: [chuckles] You should see the look on your face. Ha! You're a laugh, Twilight Sparkle. I can't wait to hang out some more and I like your friend here, looks attractive to me. (leaves)
Spike: Wow, she's amazing! (looks at Twilight's messy hair) [laughs]
Twilight: Rrgh.
Ash: (walking over with a hair brush) Here, let me help you there.
Ash starts combing out Twilight's hair and washes it then blow dries it as soon he was done Twilight's mane and tail are back to normal.
Twilight: (amazed) Wow...Ash thank you. You're so talented how did you do that?
Ash: [chuckles] I learn all that by the friends I made in my travels, Twilight. You should think of that by making friends. (walks off as Twilight follows him)
Spike: (chasing after them) Wait! It's kinda pretty once you get used to it! (looks at the decorations with Ash and Twilight) Decorations. Beautiful...
Twilight: Yes, the décor is coming along nicely. This ought'a be quick. I'll be at the library in no time. Beautiful indeed.
Spike: Not the décor, her! (points at a white unicorn with a purple mane and tail with his tail)
Unicorn: No, no, no, oh! Goodness no.
Ash: (assuming) I guess she's in charge of the décor.
Spike: (worried) How are my spines? Are they straight?
Twilight: Good afternoon- (she was cute off)
Unicorn (named Rarity): Just a moment, please! I'm 'in the zone', as it were. Oh, yes! Sparkle always does the trick, does it not? Why, Rarity, you are a talent. Now, um, how can I help yo- (looks at Ash) [yelp] Oh my stars, darling! Whatever happened to your coiffure?!
Ash hadn't fixed his hair since meeting Rainbow Dash.
Twilight: Oh, you mean his mane? Well, it's a long story. We're just here to check on the decorations, and then we'll be out of your hair!
Rarity: Out of my hair? What about his hair?! So messy, he needs a do over! (takes Ash to get his mane done)
Ash: Wait! Where are we going?! Help!
Ash and Twilight at her place Rarity started with Twilight first for fashion.
Rarity: No, no, uh-uh. Too green. Too yellow. Too poofy. Not poofy enough. Too frilly. Too... shiny. (tighten the one outfit Twilight is wearing, which she can't breathe) Now go on, my dear. You were telling me where you're from.
Twilight: [wincing] I've... been sent... from Canterlot...to-
Rarity: "Huh?"
Twilight: [crashes]
Rarity: Canterlot?! Oh, I am so envious! The glamour, the sophistication! I have always dreamed of living there! I can't wait to hear all about it! We are gonna be the best of friends, you and I... Emeralds?! What was I thinking? Let me get you some rubies! (goes to get rubies)
Ash wants to ask Twilight something as she looks at him, Spike and Pikachu.
Twilight: Quick! Before she decides to dye my coat a new color!
Spike: (while he, Ash and Twilight were walking) [sigh] Wasn't she wonderful?
Ash: She sure is, Spike. And I thank her for fixing my mane but, I like mine the way it is.
Twilight: Focus, Casanova. What's next on the list?
Spike: (looks at the note) [clears throat] Oh, uh, music! It's the last one!
They herd birds singing with a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail.
Yellow Pegasus: Oh my. Um, stop please, everyone, umm. Excuse me, sir? I mean no offense, but your rhythm is just a teeny-tiny bit off. Now, follow me, please. A-one, a-two, a-one two three- (she's going to play again as she didn't noticed Ash and Twilight walking to her)
Twilight: Hello!
Yellow Pegasus: [yelp]
Twilight: Oh my, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to frighten your birds. I'm just here to check up on the music and it's sounding beautiful.
The yellow pegasus was silent.
Twilight: I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Ash Ketchum. What's your name?
Yellow Pegasus (Fluttershy): [very quietly] Um... I'm Fluttershy.
Twilight: I'm sorry, what was that?
Fluttershy: [even quieter] Um... My name is Fluttershy.
Twilight: Didn't quite catch that.
Fluttershy: [squeaking]
[pause]
Ash: Twilight, she said her name is Fluttershy.
That made them surprised.
Twilight: Well, um, it looks like your birds are back, so I guess everything's in order. Keep up the good work!
Fluttershy: [squeaking]
Twilight: Oookay. (looks to Spike) Well, that was easy.
Fluttershy: (sees Spike and gasps) A baby dragon! Oh, I've never seen a baby dragon before. He's sooo cute!I
Spike: Well, well, well...!
Fluttershy: Oh my, he talks. I didn't know dragons could talk. That's just so incredibly wonderful I, I just don't even know what to say!
Twilight: Well, in that case we'd better be going.
Fluttershy: Wait, wait! What's his name?
Spike: I'm Spike.
Fluttershy: Hi Spike, I'm Fluttershy. Wow, a talking dragon! And what do dragons talk about?
Spike: Well, what do you wanna know?
Fluttershy: Absolutely everything.
Twilight: [groan]
Spike: Well... I started out as a cute little purple and green egg...(yammers on about his past until he got to today) and that's the story of my whole entire life! Well, up until today. Do you wanna hear about today?
Fluttershy: Oh, yes, please!
Twilight then pulls Spike over to her with her magic.
Spike: Gyah!
Twilight: I am so sorry, how did we get here so fast? This is where I'm staying while in Ponyville and my poor baby dragon needs his sleep.
Spike: No I don't- (dragged by Twilight) whoa!
Twilight: Aww, wook at dat, he's so sweepy he can't even keep his widdle bawance! (runs off)
Fluttershy: Poor thing, you simply must get into bed...
Twilight: Yes, yes, we'll get right on that. Well, g'night! (goes inside the library)
[door slamming]
Spike: Huh. Rude much?
Twilight: Sorry, Spike, but I have to convince the Princess that Nightmare Moon is coming, and we're running out of time! I just need to be alone so I can study without a bunch of crazy ponies trying to make friends all the time.
Ash: (hearing the whole thing) So you think I'm crazy too, Twilight!
Twilight: No...not you, Ash. I do meant other ponies are crazy. I just want to study so I can warn the princess Ash... (she was cut off)
Ash: Study that's all you think about is study no wonder you didn't have any friends you're rude, careless, selfish, heartless because you don't know nothing of friendship! (to Pikachu as he leaves) C'mon, Pikachu, let's go!
Pikachu leapt onto Ash's back and they were out the door.
Twilight: Did he mean that am I really rude and heartless. I should apologies after the study. Now, where's the light?
[light flicks on]
[honk]
Ponies: SURPRISE!
[kazoo blows]
[groan]
[music warps down]
Pink Pony from earlier named Pinkie Pie: Surprise! (blows a party whistle) "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I threw this party just for you! Were you surprised? Were ya? Were ya? Huh huh huh?
Twilight: Very surprised. Libraries are supposed to be quiet.
Pinkie: Well, that's silly! What kind of welcome party would this be if it were quiet? I mean, duh, bo-ring! Y'see, I saw you when you first got here, remember? You were all "hello" and I was all [deep gasp], remember? Y'see I've never saw you before and if I've never saw you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville! (yammers on and on)
Twilight: [groan]
Pinkie: And if you're new, that meant you haven't met anyone yet, and if you haven't met anyone yet, you must not have any friends, and if you don't have any friends then you must be lonely, and that made me so sad, then I had an idea, and that's why I went [deep gasp]! I must throw a great big ginormous super-duper spectacular welcome party and invite everyone in Ponyville! See? And now you have lots and lots of friends!
As Pinkie was talking, Twilight was steaming for a reason when she ate the cupcake.
[kettle whistling]
Applejack: Are you all right, sugarcube?
[train whistle blowing]
Twilight then caught fire and rushed off.
Pinkie: Aww, she's so happy she's crying!
Spike: (sees what Twilight drank) Hot sauce?
Pinkie: (pours some on hers and eats it) (with a mouth full) Ooh... (swallows then looks at the others) What? It's good!
[muffled disco music]
[clock ticking]
Twilight: [groan]
[door opens, music gets louder]
Spike: Hey Twilight! Pinkie Pie's starting "pin the tail on the pony"! Wanna play?
Twilight: No! All the ponies in this town are crazy! (pointing to the clock) Do you know what time it is?!
Spike: It's the eve of the Summer Sun Celebration. Everypony has to stay up, or they'll miss the Princess raise the sun! You really should lighten up, Twilight. It's a party!
[door closes, music stops]
Twilight: Ugh, here I thought I'd have time to learn about the Elements of Harmony but, silly me, all this ridiculous friend-making has kept me from it! "Legend has it that on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid her escape, and she will bring about everlasting night." I hope the Princess was right... I hope it really is just an old pony tale...
Spike: C'mon, Twilight, it's time to watch the sunrise!
(Outside)
Ash was walking away from ponyville going to succeed on his quest but can't stop thinking about Twilight.
Ash: Can't believed that Twilight is saying these rude, heartless words coming from an selfish pony cares only studies.
Pikachu: (hops on his head) PIKA PI PIKA CHU.
Ash: (understanding his little buddy and smiles) You're right buddy. I was too hard on her. I don't want the anger management class if that happens!
Then he hears Arceus
Arceus: I see you made six friends fast as I thought, Ash. (appears)
Ash: Yeah, but I don't understand why Twilight is worried about the moon there. (points up as the shadow of a mare appeared)
Arceus: Ash, that is the mare of the moon, means your older sister, Luna, known as Nightmare Moon, is coming.
Ash: (heard her name) I must go to that ceremony I must see her. (runs back to Ponyville)
Arceus: (watches him) At last he will soon pass his ultimate test to summon the 7th element of harmony, the element of belief. (disappears)
(Meanwhile, at the Ponyville town hall)
Pinkie: Isn't this exciting? Are you excited, 'cause I'm excited, I've never been so excited- well, except for the time that I saw you walking into town and I went [deep gasp] but I mean really, who can top that?
[fanfare]
Mayor: Fillies and gentlecolts, as mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!
[ponies cheering]
Mayor: In just a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very pony who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria...
Fluttershy: (to her birds) Ready?
Mayor: ...Princess Celestia!
Rarity raises the curtain only to find that Celestia is not there.
Rarity: Huh?
[ponies chattering quietly and nervously in the background]
Twilight: This can't be good.
Mayor: Remain calm, everypony, there must be a reasonable explanation!
Pinkie: Ooh, ooh, I love guessing games! Is she hiding?
Rarity: She's gone!
[ponies gasping]
Pinkie: Ooh, she's good.
Then, a mist appears.
Pinkie: [yelp]
[ponies gasping]
Twilight: Oh no... Nightmare Moon!
Then, Nightmare Moon appears!
Spike: [sigh] (faints)
Nightmare Moon: Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces.
Rainbow Dash: What did you do with our Princess?!
She was going to charge but Applejack got her in the tail.
Applejack: (muffled) Whoa there, Nelly...
Nightmare Moon: [chuckles] Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?
Pinkie: Ooh, ooh, more guessing games! Um, Hokey Smokes! How about... Queen Meanie! No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty- (then Applejack puts a cupcake in her mouth) [muffled noises]
Nightmare Moon: Does my crown no longer count now that I have been imprisoned for a thousand years? Did you not recall the legend? Did you not see the signs?
Twilight: I did. And I know who you are. You're the Mare in the Moon – Nightmare Moon!
[ponies gasping]
Nightmare Moon: Well well well, somepony who remembers me. Then you also know why I'm here.
Twilight: You're here to... to... (she couldn't finish the sentence) [gulp]
Nightmare Moon: [chuckle] Remember this day, little ponies, for it was your last. From this moment forth, the night will last forever!
[laughter, thunder]
Ash: (appearing) Don't do this Luna!
Everypony heard a new voice as they looked and saw it was Ash.
Twilight: Ash!
Nightmare Moon: Who...are you have I saw you before?
