Quick notes: This story takes place in the G3 era. And also, Minty's personality is different than her regular old self. This is because she is Rose's grandmother. I am also very aware that some of my fanfic is inaccurate to the game. This is the first part of the Rose's Journey series. After I finish this story, I will be uploading the second part in the series. It will be based off of the story line of PMD 2 and 3. This story takes place before all that. Since it takes place before the actual story happens, Darkness Arises does contain major gaming spoilers. Another thing, if you do not know about these "Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon" characters, I would recommend playing the game, or feel free to ask me about them. I would be very happy to assist you.
Disclaimer: All related "My Little Pony" characters belong to Hasbro.
All related "Pokemon" characters belong to Chun Soft: The Pokemon Company, and Nintindo.
Characters such as Rose, Midnight, Daisy Bloom, ect., belong to me.
Thank you for your understanding.
Chapter 1:
Welcome to Rose's Life
It was a typical day in Ponyville. There was a very beautiful rainbow in the big, blue sky. The ponies tended to their daily routines peacefully. Many ponies lived there, including Ponyville's very own Princess Rose. Yup, Rose was the princess of Ponyville, but even though she was from royalty, things didn't always go her way most of the time. Why's that? Well, the reason is the fact that Rose stood out from all the other ponies.
Her mane often gives off an unnatural blue glow, which glows most of the time when Rose takes walks under the sparkling, starry sky at night. Her mane was not the only trait that puzzled the other ponies; they found Rose's cutie-mark to be pretty odd, as well. Engraved on her soft, pink coat was some sort of gear. It was a blue gear with a strange pattern on it. No one knew what kind of gear it was, or what it was supposed to represent. She also had the very same gear on her hoof, unlike the common heart shape that all the ponies had. The other ponies would often make fun of her, and call her all sorts of names. This wasn't very fun for her.
Rose decided to take a walk around the town. "Bye, Minty! I'm going out to get some fresh air!"
"Ok, dear, but be sure not to stay out too long. I don't want to have to come and get you when it gets too dark. I know how timid you can be."
"Ha, ha, very funny Mints." Rose responded sarcastically. "I'm not going to get myself lost again. See you later." Rose left Celebration Castle, and started her walk around Ponyville. She wore her special Magani-claw around her neck proudly.
"Hey, firefly!" called Daisy Bloom, a pony with a dark, pink coat, and blonde hair.
"Daisy Bloom, why must you always call me that?" Rose asked while walking up to her.
"I call you that because you're the only pony here that's got freaky, blue, glowing hair!" She tugged at Rose's mane.
"Hey, quite it!"
"Have you had enough?"
"You know Daisy, you should do something wise for a change like keeping your mouth shut!"
"Why you little...!"
The two ponies soon broke out into a cat-fight. All the other ponies gathered around to watch the action. Minty, hearing the commotion outside, rushed out and stopped the fight. Rose was unwillingly dragged inside. Minty did not looked pleased.
