Red awoke in the bed, and stood up. Checking the stats of his Pokémon, he was satisfied to see they were fully healed. Walking down the steps, he left his simply furnished room and entered the main part of his house. His mother stood at the table, she turned to face him, giving him a sweet smile.

“Good morning, did you sleep well?” Red said nothing in reply, and his mother continued speaking after a pause.

“Oh that reminds me, Professor Oak wanted to see you, I expect you want to go see him right away. But don’t go on another adventure without at least calling me okay dear? I like to know where you are.” After she smiled, she turned and went back to staring at the table. Red turned and gently strolled toward the door. She had stared at that table for over two years. Gently opening the door, he took a moment to let his eyes adjust and gaze around the area, making note of the quaint and little town of Pallet as people trudged around in boredom.

“…” Turning, Red walked down the dirt path toward the laboratory, ignoring the grass out of the town and the water. The scenery never changed, he never changed. Walking into the lab, he paused. As he gazed to the many machines cropped around the room, he noticed two assistants that always seemed to be doing nothing.

“Ah, there you are Red; you've come right on time.” Red walked up to the middle of the room, and met with Professor Oak. He was a tall person, with gray hair and a white lab coat and a pleasant smile always on his face.

“Now I need your help to test this latest Pokémon storage system I’ve been working on. We've been testing it with freshly caught Pokémon, and we would like to test it further with something other than Rattata.” Red didn’t answer, gazing to the device on the table and the pc in the corner with the device for receiving Pokémon beside it. It had probably been taken out so they could see the results immediately.

“So Red, will you agree to test this new device?” Red turned back toward the professor, and gave a single nod. Oak smiled, walking over to the table and motioning to the device.

“Ok well put on this watch, we’re calling it the Pc Automatic Storage System. Or ‘Pass’ for short.” Red walked over to the table and gazed down at the watch on the table. It had a small screen on it with the menu’s that were on the larger pc screens, one such currently in the other corner of the room. There were a few buttons to move around the menu’s, and had a red wristband to hold the device to the holders arm. Red picked up the device, and put it on his arm.

“Excellent, ok now press the down and up arrow buttons to navigate the menu. Red is cancel, blue is enter, and to access your current party is yellow. You also have the left and right arrows for moving around the boxes.” Red quickly familiarised himself with navigating around the menu’s, gazing at his Pokémon boxes with all his Pokémon inside.

“Ok, now if you go to the deposit menu a small compartment should open-like that!” Red had moved his hand away from his body as a small round cup appeared from one side of the Pass. He could easily see it was Pokéball sized. A menu had popped open saying ‘press ok to continue.’

“Now put a Pokéball in there, and click the 'enter' button.” Red glanced to his Pokémon, and decided on grabbing the one that contained his Ponyta. Putting it into the slot, it fitted snugly, he pressed the ok button and saw a light envelop the ball and it teleported to the machine on the other side of the room.

“Excellent, let me go and get the assistants.” Oak walked past Red and out of sight behind some machines, Red returned to gazing at the device. Picking up the Pokéball that contained the mother of the Ponyta, a beautiful Rapidash, he slotted it into the compartment after clicking on the ‘move’ option. Dragging his Rapidash icon over the Ponta icon, he expected the Pokéballs to switch and he would receive his Ponyta and the Rapidash would be stored.

“No we haven’t tested the moving function yet!” Oak’s voice sounded far away as a crackling sounded around him. Suddenly his machine beeped, and he glanced down at the screen. The 'enter' button had gotten stuck, and the two pony Pokémon were transferring between the cup on his hand, and the machine near the pc at light speed.

“Red, get rid of the machine!” Red watched as the screen beeped again, and suddenly something began to shape in the space in front of him. At first it was like a slow motion of the two Pokéballs running between the two spots, but in the space of the arc they made, downward toward the machine and upward toward his Pass, and slowly something began to form in the space between. Red tried to remove the device; however it was latched clean to his arm.

“Oh no, it’s bonded to his skin…” Red turned away from the rapidly growing oval to gaze toward Professor Oak, who was holding onto the computers as a wind began to pick up and drag papers into the slowly growing void. Their eyes met; and Oak gave Red the sorriest gaze he could muster with papers flying in front of his vision. Red turned to look at the portal, noticing how it began to draw the watch away from the edge and toward the centre, the machine on the other side was included. Red had enough time for one more reaction before he was swallowed into the portal.

“…” was all Red said, before vanishing into the darkness. The portal closed after him, it’s medium to his world gone.

Red awoke to a bright sunlight, and sat up and rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache and a small bump. Blinking his eyes a few times, he gazed around his current landscape.

“…”Red was surrounded by bright cottage houses, a small garden to his left with a fountain in the middle, and an ever growing crowd of Ponytas. Red noticed all the different colours of Ponyta and different shapes, different body parts even, and knew something was different. There were these flying Ponyta, some normal Ponyta, and some Ponyta that looked more like Rapidash then Ponyta, except for the size. Red decided he needed a name for these new Pokémon, and quickly decided some on the spot. There was the normal Ponyta, the Flyingta, and the Rapida

“Let me through, Lyra don’t you dare get any closer!” A purple Rapida with wings exited the crowd, pulling a mint green Rapida back with purple magic, Psychic was most likely. The purple one gently approached him, measuring his threat level. Red gazed closer to his feet, and saw all the papers from his world and the machine lying around him. He glanced to the Pass, and saw it was functioning normally, however he couldn’t use the move button anymore, it seeming to have vanished off the interface.

“Hello?” Red turned his gaze on the purple Rapida, who had stopped a decent distance away. Red sighed, and stood up, brushing himself off. His eyes rose as they all gasped at him, not realising how tall he was. The Mint green Rapida was staring goggle eyed at him.

“Excuse me, can you understand me?” Red turned his gaze to the purple Rapida, and gave a single nod. The Rapida frowned, her head tilting. Red could see this Pokémon was intelligent, and considered capturing it. It was friendly enough; surely it would be a good addition to the team after he levelled it up a bit?

“Uh, what’s what ball thing?” The Rapida gazed at him suspiciously as he took out a blank Pokéball and prepared to toss it. The purple had only a single moment to dodge the flying projectile, and as it hit her in the head it bounced off and a red light enveloped the Rapida. Red watched as the ball rocked once, twice, thrice, and split open in a burst of purple magic. The Rapida was now angry at him.

“…”Red was suddenly bound in the purple Psychic from earlier, and could no longer move. The Rapida glared at him, her hair in a mess after the brief stint in the Pokéball. Red had learned his lesson; he would need to weaken her next time.

“I’m Twilight Sparkle, now who and what the hell are you?”
