I walked through the streets of Ponyville, hopefully heading towards Sugarcube Corner, pondering what I had heard from Twilight. There were other humans here. That means either Ungehorsam had brought them all, or they were brought by various other gods. I assumed it was the latter, because Ungehorsam didn't seem like one to be capable of handling more than one thing at once.

"Hey!" someone... Excuse me, somepony, shouted from right beside me. I jumped. Not as high this time though. I turned to the pony that said that. He was a beige Pegasus pony. His eyes glowed with a strange power. "I can handle plenty of things at once!" He said.

"Well you don't show it very well." I said back. His body was throwing up wisps of smoke. "You can't yell at me and maintain that disguise at the same time."

He snorted. "Well I suppose I should go back into my normal form then." The pony's cutie mark detached from the rest of his body. I probably should have noticed that the cutie mark was Ungehorsam himself. The body of the pony dissolved into beige-colored mist that was sucked into Ungehorsam, whose size had been greatly reduced. That made him less visible. Of course, he was probably invisible to anybody except me.

"Yep." He said, hitching a ride on my back.

"So, can you tell me about this game?" I asked, hoping to get some answers.

"Sure thing, bucko." He said. "It all started with Discord. Big suprise, right? Anyway, he brought a human to Equestria, changed him into a Diamond Dog, and then a bunch of other gods decided to follow suit, bringing humans to Equestria and changing them into native creatures. Except me. I'm the god of disobedience, so I can't just follow the rules. I brought your form from another universe, so you are now best Pokemon Cyndaquil. Now the god's 'pieces' are going out adventuring and doing stuff. You should too. It'll be fun!"

I pondered the request for a bit. I kind of liked going out and doing stuff, but I was in Ponyville, of all places. How could I leave? "I don't know..." I said cautiously. "I'll think about it."

"Good enough." He said, disappearing and reappearing right in front of me. "Now let's talk about you."

"Me?" I asked, not sure what he was getting at.

"Yes. Your new body to be specific. As a Pokemon, you will level up."

I stared at him blankly. "Are you serious?" I deadpanned.

He coughed. "Yes. The way I made it, when you fight battles, you will level up. When you level up, you will see a number flash in front of your face. Right now you are level 5. If you, say, beat up a manticore, you will level up to 6. The number 6 will flash across your field of vision, and you will... Well... You will feel a bit stronger."

"Okay..." I said slowly. "So you made my life like a video game?"

"Yes..." He said, mimicking my tone.

"Cool!" I shouted. Who wouldn't be excited by their life being a video game? Then I realized something. "I'm a Pokemon, I only have Tackle and Leer now, how will I learn new moves?"

"Ooh! Ooh!" He said excitedly, jumping up and down. "I LOVE this part!"

"What is it?" I asked, confused by his antics.

"Pretty much, you will remember how to do it." He said giddily.

I stared at him.

"Example time! Yay!" He shouted. "At level 6, you will learn Smokescreen, correct?"

I nodded slowly.

He continued, excited. "When you reach level 6, memories will flash through your head. Memories that aren't yours."

"I'm trying desperately to not think about how weird that is. And failing. That's wierd!" I finished.

"I know, I know." He said, waving it off. "But It'll make sense. Plus, you learn Smokescreen! Win Win Win Win situation, right?"

"I don't know..." I said, feigning worry. Memories are scary things.

"I can give you memories of Slenderman hunting you down for years before finding you and killing you if you don't stop pretending to do things right now. I can read your mind, you know." He deadpanned.

I pause. "I knew I didn't say some of those things out loud!" I said, before realizing he was serious. "Ooooh that would be bad..." I said, unseen eyes open wide.

He cackled. "If you need me, just think my glorious and wonderful name really loudly."

"One does not simply think loudly." I replied, silently congratulating myself on using a meme correctly.

"Yes you do." He argued. "Try it."

I imagined myself screaming at him that it wasn't possible. I looked to see him on the ground, having assumed his pony form again, covering his ears. I poked him. He glared at me.

"Ow." He said, his voice deep. And scary. Very scary. I shivered.

"So... I guess it is possible?" I cautioned, backing away warily. He said nothing but continued glaring. "Uncle!" I shout, wishing I could close my eyes. "Stop glaring at me like that!" Then I realized. Two could play at that game. "Leer." I said, feeling the anger flash out of my system. Into him.

He "eep"ed and jumped back. He changed into a purple Treeco. "That was a mistake. he said. "Screech!" Following that was an eardrum bursting scream that made me fall over backwards, wishing I could cover my ears.

I lay there for what felt like a few minutes but was only really a few seconds. Then, I stood up. "Ow." I said. I looked around. Ungehorsam was gone. I slowly started to move towards what I hoped was the direction of Sugarcube Corner.

Unbeknownst to be, the same beige Pegasus stallion watched me from the shadows.

I saw Sugarcube corner in the distance, it's looking like a freaking gingerbread house made my mouth water uncontrollably. But of course that caused an unpleasant feeling in said mouth, so I thought of roadkill rotting on the side of the road to relax my... Uh... Spit muscles? Confusing. Anyway, I walked into the store to see Twilight and the other Elements sitting at an eight person... Pony table talking about something. Since there were two extra seats, I hopped into one.

"Is this seat taken?" I said in my best English accent. Which, admittedly, wasn't that good.

They just stared at me.

"Am I interrupting something?" I asked, switching back to a normal tone of voice.

"No..." Twilight said "We just weren't expecting you to just jump up on a chair like that."

"Speak for yourself, Twi!" Rainbow said. "I was totally expecting that."

I saw a great chance for trolling, and took it. "And I bet you’re expecting that whipped cream pie flying towards the back of your head as well, huh?"

She sprang out of her chair, looking behind her while floating in the air. I fell on the ground laughing. It was actually pretty hilarious to see. I jumped back in my chair to see the Rainbow glaring at me and the others, save Fluttershy, who was smiling slightly, visibly holding back laughter.

“Anywho” I began, “As for why I came here. I need a place to stay here.”

Twilight was visibly surprised by this. “Stay?” She asked, looking at her friends. “None of the other humans we’ve met have stayed. Why are you?”

I pondered this for a moment. Then, having decided a good accent to talk in, I looked her in the eyes. My amazing Australian accent amazed amassed ponies. “Listen, sunshine” I said in my A.A.A. “I’m twelve. I don’t want to go out and do anything that involves me… Doing… Things.” I finished lamely.

They all stared at me. Finally Twilight spoke up, “That’s… Really young.” She said, looking shocked.

I shrugged. “Hardly my fault. Hopefully my stay will consist of cotton candy filled wonders and fluffy sheep!" I narrowed my eyes in a serious and (hopefully) awesome way. "Extremely fluffy."

They stared at me like I was insane. Which, admittedly, I probably was. I paused for a moment, realizing something that I saw in an episode. "Sheep are sentient aren't they." I said, with my amazingly beautiful poker face.

Twilight nodded slowly, now looking slightly disturbed. I felt strangely like I had made a vague sexual innuendo. I shook my head. I didn't even know what innuendo means. "Anyway!" I said forcefully. "Back to the matter at hand. Where can I stay? Should I camp out in the forest? Should I buy a house? Should I sleep in a tree? That last one has two meaning actually. But where? Where shall I go? What should I do?" I made a weird face to finish it off.

Twilight sighed. "Well, I do have a spare room in my library that you could use I guess."

I raised an eyebrow. 'Do Cyndaquils have eyebrows?' I thought to myself. "I would rather sleep on a bookshelf. Bookshelves are cool." I heard some attempted stifled laughing coming from behind me. I didn't bother looking. Ungy had a very... Unique laugh, and I could tell it was him. I heard a faint "Don't call me Ungy" from behind me, but I ignored it. I had found a new nickname for my chess master.

I saw Twilight staring at me with an 'Are you kidding me?' face, that was actually pretty funny to see. "Seriously" I said, shrugging (?) at her. "It would be fun to sleep on a bookshelf, and I am small enough! I could be... The Guardian of the Library!" I finished with a deep voice. Not as deep as I would like, but still pretty deep.

Twilight sighed. I suspected she was used to antics like this from Spike. "I suppose it's fine, but there will be a bed ready for you when you decide it's uncomfortable."

I glared at her. "If, my dear Twilight. If I decide it's uncomfortable." I said. Then with that sorted out, I took my leave, bowing out of the room. "I must now take my leave of this place. Thank you for your hospitality ahead of time." I walked out the door, hearing Pinkie Pie start up the conversation again. I could have sworn I heard the word "Party" but I knew the pink pony too well. She would never say that.

A/N: Thank you SO much for being patient with me on this. I'm really sorry it took this long. I'll try to do a "Once every two weeks" Schedule, but I might not be able to keep that up with school starting and all. Again, sorry for the long wait! Next Chapter: Nowhere else? Estimated time remaining: 18 Minutes
