KKD: Here is a full preview of my new story that I have planned. However, I won't post it until I have at least ten reviews saying it should be a story. And yes, this is something that'll prove I am, in fact, a Brony, for those of you who don't believe it since reading my confession in WBX KH chapter 5. I'll try and work on that and SSZSK, but if you guys wish this story and the next to become full-fledged tales, let me know.
DISCLAIMERS: As usual, KKD owns nothing shown here, except maybe some slight tweaking to character designs in Pokemon form and the character of Ken. The rest belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, Chun Soft, Hasbro, the Hub, Lauren Faust, etc.
KKD: Also, the title is supposed to be, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Yuujo no Rescue Team, but I was character limited, so that had to make due in case you were wondering about the title of this chapter. Anyway, I have plans for this and another story should they end up making the 10 review count. Until then, enjoy this chapter of this story.
Our story begins in the sweet town of Ponyville. Everypony was going about their usual day, happy and carefree. However, we turn to the local library to get a good look at what is going on with the Mane 6.
For those of you unfamiliar, the Mane 6 consist of six female ponies, two earth ponies, two pegasi ponies, and two unicorn ponies. These ponies are named Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle.
Applejack, is a rather docile earth pony with her orange body, green eyes, blonde mane and tail tied up by red bands at the tips while wearing a cowgirl hat and having three apples imprinted on her rear flank as a mark of sorts. This mark is known as a Cutie Mark, and tells what the pony excels at. In Applejack's case, it is apple picking, or rather apple-bucking.
Pinkie Pie, as her name confirms, is a rather pink pony with a brighter pink mane and tail. Her eyes, by contrast, are a nice shade of blue. The Cutie Mark on her flank was three balloons (one yellow and two blue). This seemed to show off her quirky personality and her knack of throwing pretty impressive parties.
"Thanks. If anyone wants a fanfic party, let me know," Pinkie smiled… breaking the fourth… wall… wow, I forgot that makes her similar to Deadpool.
Anyway, the next pony we will look at is the timid yellow pony with a long flowing pink mane and tail, Fluttershy. Being a Pegasus pony, she has wings on her back like a bird's. And her Cutie Mark was that of three pink butterflies. This showed her specialty towards animals.
The other Pegasus pony of the group is easily recognized both by name and by color: Rainbow Dash. This cyan pony has a rainbow mane, matching tail, and magenta eyes that break up the monotony of blue fur and wings. However, Dash's mane and tail proves she was a fast flier, and her eyes gave off a glint to her brave personality, as did her Cutie Mark of a cloud with a rainbow coming out in the shape of a lightning bolt.
Then, there's the fashionable unicorn pony, Rarity, if her elegant mane wasn't obvious enough to identify this. Her blue eyes give off a gleam like the diamonds of her cutie mark showing her sense of fashion and beauty, which could only be further confirmed by how clean her white fur and horn were.
Finally, there was the local bookworm of a unicorn pony, Twilight Sparkle. Her lavender fur and horn showed off a sense of royalty, indicating she came from another place to learn in Ponyville. She seemed relatively average for a unicorn pony, having straightened dark blue hair with some streaks of pink and purple through them, matching her purple eyes. It also helped to show off the sparkle Cutie Mark of hers, her somewhat naïve personality, and her skill at magic.
With that out of the way, let us get to today's events. As I said, the day was somewhat average except that today all of the Mane 6 were reading books that tickled their personal fancies. Fluttershy was reading up on the creatures of their home world of Equestria as Rarity was reading up on fashion designs and how to improve her own skills. Rainbow Dash was busy reading books of the adventures of a pony named Daring Do, which seem to reflect those of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft. Pinkie and Applejack were looking in a recipe book for some good apple treats, but Twilight… she had read a majority of the books by now, so not much had tickled her interests just yet.
In fact, she was just walking through, browsing the collection when…
"Hmm? What's this?" she questioned, using her magic (as indicated by her horn glowing magenta and the object in question having the same glow) to pick up a book entitled "Pokémon".
Twilight then began to flip through the pages. When her friends noticed her intense looking at the new book, they all joined in to see what it was about. The pictures of the book depicted creatures of varying sizes, shapes, and colors; each creature having their own special skills or abilities, and occasionally getting in to intense battles. Admittedly, all of the ponies were excited about this.
"Those were some cool creatures," Rainbow Dash smirked.
"Sure are. They look strong, too," Applejack added.
"I wonder if we can find any around here."
"I uh-… haven't… seen anything like these creatures around," Fluttershy noted, kinda quietly, but loud enough for the others to hear. "Maybe they live far away from here."
"Seems very likely," Rarity agreed.
"OH! OH! Can we bring one here, Twilight? Can we? Can we?!" Pinkie Pie begged, making Twilight think about the matter.
"…Maybe we can," she figured.
Meanwhile, it just seemed like an average day for one human college student. However, for the purposes of our story, we will not bother to look at him from the front for now. However, what is noticeable about him compared to the other students on his campus is that he had windswept blue hair, like literally blue. Regardless of this, his peers best described him as a bit hasty. Unsure of why that is, this student ignored that and focused on his studies, but when he wasn't, he'd often play Pokémon games on his old Game Boy Advance or his Nintendo DS.
At the moment, however, he had nothing to do. There wasn't anything interesting for him on the net, he didn't have any assignments to work on at the moment, not even his Pokémon game could satisfy him. So, he just sat in his dorm room and drew up some random sketches of Pokémon he seemed to like. Among these Pokémon were the starter Pokémon from Kanto to Hoenn, Pikachu, Skitty, Eevee and the Eeveelutions, a Dragonair, even some of the legendaries up to that point. In the foreground, though, his latest sketch focused on 9 specific Pokémon: a Torchic evolving into a Blaziken, a Pikachu, an Eevee evolving into an Espeon, a Treecko evolving into a Grovyle, a Chikorita evolving into a Bayleef, a Skitty evolving into a Delcatty, a Mudkip evolving into a Marshtomp, a Pikachu, and a Dratini evolving into a Dragonair. Yep, that's how bored he was… ended up drawing all that.
"Man… I wish something fun would happen soon," the guy groaned, staring at the pictures, making slight adjustments to his sketches as he began placing colors that weren't normally there onto the Pokémon he drew.
Back in Ponyville, the Mane 6 were in the center of the library as Twilight used her magic in deep concentration. Twilight was now trying to summon forth a Pokémon from the book. Everything seemed to be going fine when suddenly, there was a big flash of magenta light that filled the room that grew whiter and whiter. Suddenly, there was a HUGE flash, and then… nothing. The library didn't have another creature in it. In fact, there wasn't even a pony there.
Back with the college of humans, we turn back to the student drawing, but now he had fallen asleep. Little did he know that his picture began to glow magenta. Then, like in Ponyville, there was this big flash of white… then nothing.
Little did our seven cast members know what they'd get themselves into as they were whisked away to a world unknown, transforming them on the way.
We then turn our attention to a forest of sorts, where we see a Pikachu walking through, minding his own business.
"Man… what a day. I've been trying to form a team, but no one else seems interested," the Pikachu sighed, talking like a human.
However, his attention was soon brought to the sky where he saw seven strange objects falling and separating.
"What was that?!" the Pikachu gawked. "Better find out."
With that, the Pikachu ran off towards the closest crash site, and thus, a new adventure… begins.

Where am I? Am I dreaming this? …I feel a pleasant breeze. …I hear a voice from somewhere… I wonder who it is?
At the moment, we can see the Pikachu next to something… or someone. He had been there for a little while and nudged this character.
"Hey, wake up," he urged. "Wake up already!"
With that, we finally get to see the person who was out. It turned out the character he spoke to was a Torchic. However, this Torchic was a little off compared to others. By that, I mean that while he looked mostly normal, some of his feathers, including the ones sticking out the top of his head and some of his wing feathers… were cobalt blue and white. This made the Pikachu sigh in relief.
"Oh, good! You finally came to!" the Pikachu smiled before noticing the Torchic wasn't looking at him, but rather all over the place.
"Wh-Where is this?" the Torchic wondered as he examined the forest around them in confusion and then finally looked at the Pikachu.
"Some things fell from the sky, and when I arrived to the closest crash site, I found you; you were passed out here. I'm glad you woke up!" the Pikachu smiled.
"Whoa! A Pikachu!" the Torchic gawked. "Wait a second… Pokémon shouldn't be able to talk."
"So what? You're a Pokémon, and you can talk," the Pikachu pointed out, making the Torchic look confused before looking into a nearby lake to see his reflection and…
"WHA!? I-I can't believe this! I'm actually a Torchic!" the little bird gasped.
"You're funny; you sound like you just noticed that," the Pikachu laughed before calming down. "Anyway, I'm Kai. It's nice to meet you!"
"I-I guess… it's nice to meet you, too."
"Don't be nervous, man. What's wrong?"
"That's the thing… I think I was human a moment ago, but looking at myself, I see I'm a Torchic no matter how I look at it," the Torchic replied. "But… besides that… I don't remember anything else for some odd reason."
"I… see…" Kai shrugged at that. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Huh? My name?" the Torchic gawked. "Um… I… I don't quite remember, but… I think it was… Ken."
"Ken? …That's actually pretty cool," Kai smiled.
"Thanks… I think..." the now named Ken sighed.
"Somebody! Please! HELP ME!" a female voice yelled out, making Kai and Ken look in the direction of the scream
"Who was that?!" Ken gawked.
"Sounded like Mrs. Butterfree," Kai noted as said Pokémon fluttered over to the male duo.
"Oh, Kai! Help! PLEASE! IT'S HORRIBLE! JUST HOR~RIBLE!" the Butterfree panicked.
"Whoa! Calm down there, Ma'am. Now start from the beginning; what happened?" Kai responded as the Butterfree inhaled and exhaled to calm herself.
"Right… sorry. But this is still serious, Kai. My Caterpie fell into a cavern! My poor baby!" the Butterfree whimpered.
"WHAT?!" Kai gasped.
"You see… a huge fissure opened in the ground, and my Caterpie fell in!" Butterfree explained. "He's too young to crawl out by himself!"
"Looks like you need some help. I'll go look for your baby," Ken responded, surprising Kai.
"Wait! You're gonna help her out… even though you've never met before in your entire lives?!" Kai gawked.
"It's better than just sitting around doing nothing all the time," Ken replied.
"Good point."
"It's probably not a good idea for someone unfamiliar with this place to go," Butterfree replied.
"Why not?" Ken asked.
"When I went to get my baby, Pokémon suddenly attacked me!" the Butterfree explained to the new Torchic.
"Wait! You were attacked? By other Pokémon?!" Kai gawked.
"They must've been enraged by the fissure… and out of control!" Butterfree finished. "At least… that's what I think. I'm not strong enough to fend off those wild Pokémon… What will become of my baby? Oh! What am I to do?! Oh dear, oh dear…"
"Look, I can understand how you were at first, Ken, but it's dangerous. Besides, I can't just do nothing! If you're going, then I'm gonna help ya," the Pikachu insisted.
"You sure? You don't look like the type to randomly save someone," Ken noted.
"Maybe, but I'm more than ready to prove myself. C'mon, let's go!"
With a nod, the duo rushed off to the fissure to find the missing Caterpie.
Chapter 1: Pokémon in Peril!
Their stop was in a place simply called the Tiny Woods, and, true to Mrs. Butterfree's word, there were Pokémon attacking Ken and Kai on the way, and they were able to fight back; it was easy for Ken since the majority of them were grass and bug-types. Ken would've preferred to beat them at a higher level, but he'd figure he'd make due with his peck for now while Kai simply had tackle.
Meanwhile, there was an Eevee and a Charmander, both girls, struggling to get up. However, like Ken, these two were different from normal Pokémon of their kind. The Eevee had the normal brown fur, but what was beige now was purple with a pink stripe amongst it; she seemed to have purple eyes and Twilight Sparkle's Cutie Mark. The Charmander, on the other hand, had the usual look except for magenta eyes, the streak of scales around her body that resembled the rainbow, her rainbow-colored flame of a tail, and Rainbow Dash's Cutie Mark on her right leg.
The first of these two was the Charmander, groaning as she stood up.
"Ugh… what happened?" she asked before gasping and remembering something, unaware she was on two legs. "Twilight!?"
"Ugh… right… here… Rainbow Dash," the Eevee, assumedly Twilight, groaned as she stood up, causing the Charmander/Rainbow Dash to look at the Eevee/Twilight and gasp. "What?"
"T-Twilight?! Is that you?" Rainbow Dash gawked.
"Yes, it is? Why?" Twilight responded, oblivious to the changes.
"You look… different."
This caused the Eevee to look down and gasp at what she had become.
"What? How…?" she gawked before gasping and pointing at Rainbow Dash, making her examine her changes.
"Whoa! I'm… We're… we look like those creatures from the book you found!" Dash realized.
"But how?!" Twilight pondered trying to figure things out until…
"WAAAAAAH!" the two heard a young child cry out and sniffle. "Mommy… Where are you…?"
"Oh, that doesn't sound good. We'd better check it out," Twilight figured, about to dash when Dash stopped Twilight by grabbed her tail.
"Shouldn't we find the others, first?" Dash asked, making the now-Eevee gawk at what .
"That's not like you, Dash. If they heard that, and maybe us, they'll come looking for us. Now let's get moving!"
"…Right. Let's do this," Dash smirked as they ran off.
Back with Ken and Kai, they were still fighting off rogue Pokémon in the first floor before they noticed something helpful. There were two Pokémon that were trying to defend themselves, indicating that they were not affected by what was happening. Well, one of them was trying to stop the attacking Pokémon; the other was trying to hide in a corner. The one defending her friend was a Chikorita of sorts, a Shiny one at that as indicated by the lighter-toned skin that almost looked orange. However, she had the regular leaf and vine stubs, and had green eyes and three apple-shaped marks on her flank.
The other one, like the first, was a girl, but a female Mudkip. While she seemed a bit normal, her fins were pink, she had some yellow stripes on her body, and she had three butterfly marks on her tail fin.
"What the? Who're these two?" Kai gawked.
"Who cares? Right now they need help, c'mon!" Ken called out before pecking the bug Pokémon around the two away, then, he turned to see the two oddly looking Pokémon. "Are you two alright?"
"Yea. Thanks fer the assist der, birdie," the Chikorita replied.
"Huh? Birdie?" Ken gawked for a second before remembering he was a Torchic. "Oh yea. Makes sense now."
"Oh my goodness!" the Mudkip gasped getting closer to Ken & Kai. "Actual Pokémon!"
"Jeez… you two sound like you've just become Pokémon. Like the Torchic here," Kai chuckled making Ken groan for a moment.
"Talk later, Kai. Right now, we've got a rescue to do, remember?" Ken reminded.
"Oh yea."
"Y'all mind if we help ya out?" the Chikorita requested.
"Y-Yes… I'd hate to see anyone get harmed," the Mudkip agreed.
"Sure. We could use the help," Ken agreed before the four rushed off further into the Tiny Woods.
At that same moment, Twilight and Rainbow Dash had managed to reunite with Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Pinkie Pie now being a Treecko with a pink tail, pink streak on her back, blue eyes, and having her Cutie Mark on her tail while Rarity was a white and purple Skitty, having her Cutie Mark on her hind flank like normal.
"How did we end up here, Twilight?" Rarity asked the Eevee.
"I'm not sure. But if we keep looking around for the others, I'm sure we can find out," Twilight told them when…
"Twilight! Girls!" they heard Applejack's voice call out when Ken and Kai came down with the Chikorita and Mudkip they met, but somehow the other ponies-turned-Pokémon recognized the two female Pokémon just by seeing the marks on their bodies and knowing they were the Cutie Marks of their friends.
"Applejack! Fluttershy! Thank goodness you're alright!" Twilight smiled.
"Friends, of yours?" Kai asked Ken.
"Nope," the Torchic answered before they heard the young child's voice cry again.
"The child!" Twilight gasped.
"Sounds like the Caterpie," Kai realized.
"Let's move!" Ken shouted leading the seven towards the voice.
Meanwhile, Caterpie was whimpering about being separated from his mom. But with him was also a Dratini, who tried to calm him down.
"Don't worry, little one. We'll get out of this," the Dratini comforted as Ken, Kai, and the Mane 6 arrived, but stopped short when they noticed the Dratini.
"Snake!" Fluttershy gasped hiding behind her friends.
"A Dratini? Here?" Ken gawked.
"That is odd. What is a Dratini doing here?" Kai pondered.
"Dratini?" Rainbow Dash gawked.
"We'll try to explain later," the Torchic answered as the Pikachu approached the two cowering Pokémon.
"Don't worry, you two. We came to rescue you," Kai told the two, getting the attention of Caterpie and Dratini.
"Huh?" the two gawked.
"If you're lost, Dratini, we'll get you out of here. As for you, Caterpie, your Mom's waiting. Let's get you out of here," Ken replied, brightening the Caterpie's spirits.
"Okay," Caterpie smiled.
"Let's go then," Dratini agreed.
"Okay then," Pinkie Pie smiled before looking straight at the reader. "Initiate passage through time."
"My baby's safe…" Butterfree smiled once the team returned Caterpie to his mom. "I'm sorry, I don't know how I could ever thank you properly…"
"Oh, that's okay!" Kai smiled.
"Yea, we're just doing what we can to help," Ken agreed.
"Besides, it has been dangerous lately with sudden quakes and fissures like that one," Kai added.
"Really? Sounds scary," Fluttershy noted, causing Kai to sweat drop.
"Anyway, it was great to find your little boy unharmed, and protected by a Dratini no less. He's very lucky," Kai finished.
"Please, may I have your names at least?" Butterfree requested.
"I'm Kai, the Torchic is Ken, and… um… who are the rest of you?" the Pikachu responded, the latter part being due to not having gotten introduced to them yet.
"I'm Twilight Sparkle," the Eevee answered before pointing to her friends. "And these are my friends, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy."
"And… you can just call me… Ryu," the Dratini answered.
"… Cool…" Caterpie smiled with starry-eyes, and making his rescuers sweat drop a little bit.
'Why's he staring at us?' most of the ponies-turned-Pokémon, except Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie thought to themselves.
'Feels just like back in Ponyville,' Rainbow Dash smirked mentally.
'For a bug, that little Caterpie sure is cute," Pinkie admitted in her head while Ken was thinking something else.
'He's, uh… Staring at me adoringly… Those sparkling eyes… it's a little embarrassing…' Ken noted to himself before shrugging. 'But, this doesn't feel bad, either. It's like I'm a hero. Helping Pokémon in trouble might be a good experience.'
"Thank you! Kai, Ken, Ryu, Twilight, Pinkie, AJ, Rainbow, Rarity, and Fluttershy!" Caterpie smiled.
"I know it isn't really enough, but take this as a token of our thanks," Butterfree replied, handing them a couple of berries. "Please accept it."
It turned out what was given to them were a blue Oran Berry, a pink Pecha Berry, and a cyan Rawst Berry. Ken made note that the Oran berry looked like a blue orange while the Pecha berry looked like a pink peach of sorts, and the Rawst Berry looked similar to a strawberry.
"Thank you again so much. Good-bye," Butterfree smiled as she and Caterpie took off with the nine others waiting where Ken & Kai first met.
"Thanks to all of you for helping," Kai smiled, making the girls blush a little, except for Rainbow who took it in stride.
"It was no big deal, just doing what we can to help," Rainbow Dash replied proudly.
"Cool, but I noticed you were all able to handle yourselves well back in that mystery dungeon; I'm surprised you were that tough," Kai added.
"Mystery Dungeon? Is that what that place back there was called?" Twilight asked.
"Yea, they've been popping up everywhere lately; with some Pokémon going in for some things, but it seems to be different every time… at least… that's what I hear," Kai replied, a little nervously. "But, Ryu… how'd you end up down there?"
"I… I just heard Caterpie cry and felt the urge to go and help him, but I was kinda weak, so I moved my way past all of the Pokémon down there until I found him. Then, I just stayed there and comforted him before you guys came along," Ryu answered.
"Makes a lot of sense," Applejack figured.
"Also sounds like something Fluttershy would do," Pinkie added.
"Sure does," Rarity agreed.
"So… What are you all going to do? Do you have any plans?" Kai asked, getting looks of realization from the others.
"Uh…" Ken started, but found himself speechless while the Mane 6 got into a huddle.
"What do we do, girls?" Twilight asked.
"Not sure. You used the spell Twilight, can't you figure out one to get us back?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I don't know if I can; we don't even know how we ended up as these Pokémon."
"Maybe we can ask locals where we can stay?" Applejack figured.
"How? It's not like they'd believe us if we told them that we used to be ponies," Rarity added.
"True," Fluttershy sighed.
As the Mane 6, Ken, and Ryu were thinking of what to do, the Pikachu got an idea.
"Listen, everyone. If you don't have a place to stay, you should come with me." Kai suggested, getting their attention.
"You mean it?" Rarity gawked.
"Yep; I've got room for everyone. Follow me," Kai insisted as they walked off in a new direction.
Eventually, they came to a small place outside of a nearby Pokémon town.
"Well, this is the place…" Kai replied as they all looked at the place, and the others were quite surprised by the outside alone; it had the quaint appearance of a small cottage, and had semblances of the elements each of the Pokémon represented.
"Sugoi!" Ken gasped.
"Wow!" Twilight, Fluttershy, and Applejack gawked in unison.
"Cool!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie added.
"Beautiful!" Rarity and Ryu smiled.
'I can't explain it, but… I think me the six girls are happy! I'm a human being, and for all I know the girls are, too, but it seems we all like this place. I feel weirdly happy! It might be an instinct thing for Pokémon. Maybe this is what it feels like to want to wag your tail… It doesn't matter! I'm happy! Wonder if we feel that way because I'm a Torchic and the others are Pokémon whose elements seem to match the place,' Ken thought to himself as Kai chuckled seeing the reactions of the others.
"Oh, guys. You're impressed, aren't you?" Kai chuckled.
"We sure are," Rainbow Dash spoke for everyone.
"I thought so. I thought that this place would make a good place for you to live, everyone. I was sure you would all like it," Kai smiled as he walked over to the blue mailbox. "This'll be your mailbox. They deliver mail from Pokémon here. You know, just like the fissure Caterpie fell into… For some reason, there have been many natural disasters lately. Because of those disasters, many Pokémon are suffering. I want to help Pokémon in these tough times."
"Sounds like you want to be a hero of sorts," Ken noticed.
"Yea. I want to help change things so all the Pokémon can live in peace," Kai confirmed. "So, uh… Well, I liked how you all handled yourselves when we rescued Caterpie. Would you like to join me on a rescue team?"
"Rescue team? Like a group who helps rescues others in need?" Fluttershy asked.
"Exactly," Kai answered. "Everyone, with you, I think we could even become the world's best rescue team. How about it?"
"Sure thing. I owe you one for helping me out there in the fissure," Ryu confirmed.
"Totally! I'm all ready to go right now, even," Rainbow Dash smirked.
"As long as we can help out when we can," Rarity nodded. "I'll join you too, Kai.
"Um… okay," Fluttershy answered, a little nervous.
"Helping others out is something I always wanna do, so count me in!" Applejack smirked.
"I suppose it couldn't hurt to help," Twilight figured. "Okay then."
"I guess it's unanimous, Kai. We're all in," Ken finished, making the Pikachu cheer.
"Perfect! That's it, then! We're all partners in our rescue team from now on, everyone! Glad to have you on board!" Kai smiled.
"So… do we have a team name?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"The team name? Well…, I don't have one yet," Kai admitted. "So what do you guys think would be a good name for us?"
"How about the Rainbooms?" Dash suggested as Twilight sighed.
"No, that doesn't sound right, and most people here won't know what a Rainboom is… what about a name like… Friendship? It shows how helpful we can be as a team to other Pokémon," Twilight figured.
"I don't know… Friendship may not be the first thing people will think of if it comes to a rescue team," Ryu admitted.
"Maybe it can, if we use the right synonym," Ken figured. "How about we call our team: Team Yuujo?"
"Yuujo?" the others gawked.
"That's Japanese for Friendship."
"Oh!"
"Yuujo?" Kai gawked when he heard that as a smile spread across his face. "I like it! It's a good name! It's perfect for us! 'Rescue Team Yuujo! Let's do good starting tomorrow!" Kai smiled as the nine Pokémon cheered at the concept.
And that is how the Mane 6, Ken the Torchic, Kai the Pikachu, and Ryu the Dratini began their careers together as a Rescue Team.
For that day, though, the others decided to take a rests as they checked out the house, which was indeed as big as Pikachu said it was. It had individual bedrooms for each element of Pokémon. Specifically, there was one electric-type room for himself, a couple of normal rooms for Twilight and Rarity, two grass-type rooms for Applejack and Pinkie Pie, a water-type room for Fluttershy, a dragon-type room for Ryu, and two fire-type rooms for Ken and Rainbow Dash.
The place also had many other features as well. It had a bit of an orchard in the back where apples grew every day, a nice kitchen for baking goodies, a room with materials to make scarves and other clothing if needed, a large garden near the apple trees, a small gym for training (which would be good for Rainbow Dash to regain her speed and eventually regain her wings as well), and even a small library.
It was in the library that Twilight took a short time to write a letter to her mentor, Princess Celestia (an Alicorn back in her home of Equestria).
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Today has been a most interesting day. First, my friends and I were all doing some reading, something that has rarely been done by us altogether, but then, I came across this strange book about creatures called Pokémon. I tried to summon one to see if they existed, but the next thing I knew, my friends and I were teleported to an entire world of Pokémon, and found out we became varying types of these creatures, and retained our ability to talk.
While I was still trying to figure out how this happened, we came across three Pokémon who called themselves, Ken, Kai, and Ryu. They helped us when we were in trouble, and so today I learned you can make friends, even in the least likely of places.
Kai was kind enough to give us a new place to stay, but he told of grave news befalling this world. I don't know if I can be able to send this to you since Spike had not been able to come with us, but should we find a way to send this and should you receive this letter, please note that I may be stuck here for some time. In order to make the best use of the time I have here, my friends and I have joined Ken, Kai, and Ryu in a sort of Rescue Team which we have titled 'Yuujo', which Ken said means 'Friendship'. I feel that is appropriate considering how our goal is to learn more about friendship.
I look forward to hearing your response should you get this letter in some way.
Your Faithful Student,
Twilight Sparkle"
With that, Twilight finished her letter as the others finished getting settled in.
"Well, now this really feels like home," Ken smiled.
"Hey! I just realized something! Because of what happened today, we should have a "We-made-new-friends-in-a-new-world-and-formed-a-r escue-team-while-we're-in-strange-bodies" PARTY!" Pinkie Pie cheered as the place was suddenly decorated for a party, and there were plenty of treats to go around.
If the world of Pokémon hadn't seen it in a while, it'll soon rediscover the magic of friendship with the help of this team… the Rescue Team Yuujo!

The Rescue Team has been formed, and the Mane 6 are settling in well. However, Ken seems to be getting some weird dreams as of late. What could all this mean? But that'll have to take back seat as Team Yuujo is on their first official rescue to save a couple of Magnemites that have been stuck together and were trapped in Thunderwave Cave!
Jikai: Chapter 2: Rescuing the Magnemite!
Yuujo no mahou is a real Nazo.
