Hi, everyone! Sorry it took me awhile to update this. I've been chalked full of Pokémon crossover ideas that I didn't get a chance to update this. And now, it's time for chapter 4 of Ash's Ponyville Adventures.
*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR MY LITTLE PONY*
It was a beautiful day at Sweet Apple Acres, as Applejack and his brother, Big Mac, were overlooking the apple orchard. It was that time of year for the Apple Family. Applebuck Season!
Applejack: Boy howdy! I got my work cut out for me. That there is the biggest bumper crop o' apples I ever laid eyes on.
Big Mac: Eeyup. Too big for you to handle on your own.
Applejack: Come on, big brother! You need to rest up and get yourself better. I haven't met an apple orchard yet that I can't handle. [hoof bumps her brother's hurt leg] Oops, sorry. I'll take a bite out of this job by day's end.
Big Mac: Biting off more than you can chew is just what I'm afraid of.
Applejack: Are you sayin' my mouth is makin' promises my legs can't keep?
Big Mac: Eeyup.
Applejack: Why of all the... This is your sister Applejack, remember? The loyalest of friends and the most dependable of ponies?
Big Mac: But still only one pony, and one pony plus hundreds o' apple trees just doesn't add up to...
Applejack: Don't you use your fancy mathematics to muddy the issue! I said I could handle this harvest and I'm gonna prove it to you. I'm gonna get every last apple out of those trees this applebuck season all by myself. [gulps].
[Theme Song: Unbeatable - Pokémon Advanced Battle]
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh
I'm unbeatable
Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest
Advanced Battle is the ultimate test
From the earth, the land, the sea and sky They can never win, but they sure can try
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh I'm unbeatable Pokémon
(Advanced Battle!)
Oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh I'm undefeatable
From the stars and the ancient past
They come to play, but they'll never last
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh I'm unbeatable Pokémon (Advanced Battle!)
Ohh oh-oh-oh oh-oh I'm undefeatable
Oh oh oh
(Advanced Battle!)
I'm unbeatable
Pokémon
[End song]
(Scene changes to a hillside in Ponyville, there we see two mysterious figures, which turns out to be Twilight and Applejack as Twilight used her magic to create a bright light as they read the title of the next chapter)
Twilight: Chapter 4
Applejack: Applebuck Season and Ash's Night Shift.
Meanwhile, somewhere by Ponyville, another portal opened up and out came a floating red device with flat lightning bolt-like arms, eyes and mouth on the screen and stubby feet. It was called a Rotom Pokédex, but others call it a Rotom Dex. He looked around at his new surroundings.
Rotom Dex: Hmmm. I know Arceus said that Ash would be here, but I'm not sure how I'll be able to find him in this quaint little town.
Just then, he saw a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail fly by. It was Rainbow Dash.
Rotom Dex: Maybe I'll ask that Pegasus for help. [floats over to Rainbow Dash] Excuse me!
Rainbow Dash: [startled] Aah!
Rotom Dex: Oops! Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.
Rainbow Dash: It's cool. Names Rainbow Dash! And you are?
Rotom Dex: I am Rotom Dex! It's a pleasure!
Rainbow Dash: Rotom Dex? [remembers one of the stories of Ash adventures in the human world] Oh, you were the kind of Pokédex thing that helped Ash on his travels.
Rotom Dex: [shocked while showing a surprised emoji on his face] BE-BE! YOU KNOW ASH! Tell me, where can I find him?
Rainbow Dash: I think he told me recently that he was heading to Sugarcube Corner for an order of cupcakes for him and his Pokémon pals. I can take you to him, if you want.
Rotom Dex: That would be awesome!
Rainbow Dash: Cool. Just follow me.
So, Rainbow Dash and Rotom Dex went off to Sugarcube for to find Ash. Meanwhile, Ash had just finished up at Sugarcube, and was about to leave, pulling out a cart filled with boxes of choc behind him, when he saw Rainbow Dash flying down towards him.
Rainbow Dash: [calling] Yo, Ash!
Ash: [looks up] Oh, hey, Rainbow Dash, what's up? [jokes] Besides you.
Rainbow Dash: Funny! And, if you must know, I just came across something that happens to be a friend of yours from your world.
Ash: Really? Who's that?
Just then, Rotom Dex came out from behind Rainbow Dash.
Rotom Dex: Surprise!
Ash couldn't believe his eyes! He almost teared up!
Ash: [excited] Rotom! [hugs Rotom Dex as it floated towards Ash] What are you doing here? I thought you were working at Aether Paradise?
Rotom Dex: Lusamine, Lillie and Gladion came back home after finding her father and I finished my duties there, then I retired. I didn't know what else to with myself and I did miss you, that was when I met Arceus and he told me where you were, so here I am! Also, get this, Professors Kukui and Burnett are going to be parents.
Ash: Really! That's awesome!
Rotom Dex: I know, right!
Ash: Anyway, I'm glad we're reunited with each other. You've gotta meet Twilight. She'll definitely like you best seeing as how your basically like a mobile data book for Pokémon.
Rotom Dex: I'm sure I will.
Just then, they felt the ground starting to shake.
Rotom Dex: [surprised and concerned] What's going on?!
Rainbow Dash flew up and noticed a herd of cows heading straight for Ponyville.
Rainbow Dash: STAMPEDE!
[cows mooing]
[ponies panicking]
Sweetie Drops: Stampede!
[ponies panicking]
Pinkie Pie: [laughter] Hey...! [vibrating] This makes my voice sound silly!
Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, are you crazy?! Run!
Mayor Mare: Everypony calm down. There is no need to panic.
Rarity: But Mayor, whatever shall we do?
Rainbow Dash: Look there!
They all looked and noticed Ash was running towards the entrance to Ponyville with Lycanroc, Lairon, Krookodile, Luxio and Electrike by his side.
Ash: [to Luxio and Electrike] You two help Applejack and Winona.
Luxio: Right, Ash! [to Electrike] Let's go!
Electrike: Right!
The two Electric-Type Pokémon rushed to help Applejack and Winona with the cows. While Ash, along with Lycanroc, Lairon and Krookodile on opposite sides of the entrance.
Ash: Now, Lycanroc, Lairon and Krookodile, barricade the entrance with Stone Edge.
Lycanroc/Lairon/Krookodile: [in unison] Right! [they slammed their paws, legs and claws to the ground] STONE EDGE!
Then, glowing pillars of rock formed from out of the ground and barricade the entrance. Then Ash stood in front of rock pillars and then used the power of telepathy to stop the cows from stampeding. The cows started to slow down and they came to a stop. That was when the Stone Edge barricade disintegrated and all the ponies came out to thank Ash and Applejack for his bravery. Even Rotom Dex was amazed! After everypony left, Rotom Dex came down to Ash.
Rotom Dex: Ash, that was incredible! The way you had your Pokémon use Stone Edge to barricade the entrance to Ponyville and the way you calmed down the cows. It was awesome!
Ash: Thanks, Rotom!
While Rainbow Dash was amused at this, the rest of the girls just stood there confused and surprised.
Twilight: Uh, Ash?
Rarity: Care to introduce your friend to us, darling.
Ash: Oh, of course. Rotom, this is Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy. Girls, this is Rotom Dex! He was friend during my travels.
Rotom Dex: I'm also Ash's personal informant for all things Pokémon. It's a pleasure.
Twilight: So, you're one of those Pokédex things that Ash had during his travels?
Rotom Dex: That's right, Miss Twilight Sparkle. I'm actually a combination of a Rotom and a Pokédex. In other words, I am the Pokédex version of Rotom.
Twilight: I see. Can we see a demonstration? Try giving us the data on Pikachu.
Rotom Dex: But of course, Miss Sparkle. [gives data on Pikachu] Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon. An Electric type. It raises its tail to sense its surroundings. If you pull on its tail, it will shock you.
Twilight: [impressed] Wow! That's amazing. You're almost like a informational book on different creatures.
Rotom Dex: I'm glad you approve.
Applejack: That's mighty swell. Now, if y'all excuse me. I have to get back to Sweet Apple Acres for Applebuck Season. See y'all later. [leaves for Sweet Apple Acres]
Rotom Dex: [confused] "Mighty swell?" "Y'all?" Does not compute! Does not compute!
Ash: Applejack is a country girl so that's why she speaks that way.
Rotom Dex: I understand!
Just then, Ash and Twilight's stomachs began to growl.
Ash/Twilight: [in unison] Guess that stampede incident made me hungry.
They looked at each other and blushed.
Twilight: [nervous] You were thinking the same thing?
Ash: Y-Yeah! You were too?
That was when Rotom Dex decided to have some fun.
Rotom Dex: [teasing with a smirk face emoji on his screen] Ooh! Don't you two look cute together.
That made Ash and Twilight's faces burn bright red.
Ash/Twilight: [in unison] We're just friends!
Ash: Anyway, how about we go back to my place for dinner. I know how to make a four cheese pizza. And you can even sleep over, if you want. We can even camp out under the stars in my backyard.
That got the girls interested.
Rarity: We'd be delighted to sleep over at your place, Ash!
Ash: Awesome!
Rotom Dex: And while we're at it, I'll even show you some other functions that I have.
Twilight: That would be great!
So they all went back to Ash's place for nice pizza dinner. A little later, while the pizza was cooking in the oven, Rotom Dex showed the girls what he can do. Right now, he's on the voice sampling part of his functions.
Twilight: So you say you have voice sampling.
Rotom Dex: That's right, Twilight. Go ahead, say something! Anything!
Twilight: Okay! Um, let's see... I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I originally came from Canterlot.
Rotom Dex: Analyzing…Analyzing…Analyzing… Sampling complete! [doing Twilight's voice] I'm Twilight Sparkle! Nice to meet you!
Twilight: Whoa! Now that's impressive!
Rotom Dex: I'm glad you approve.
Pinkie Pie: Ooh! Ooh! Do my voice! Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, Ponyville's super awesome party pony!
Rotom Dex: Analyzing…Analyzing…Analyzing… Sampling complete! [doing Pinkie's voice] Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! Nice to meet you!
Pinkie Pie: [laughing] Oh man, you're so funny, Rotom.
Rainbow Dash: Do you think you can do my voice too? 'Sup! Rainbow Dash is the name and speed is my game.
Rotom Dex: Analyzing…Analyzing…Analyzing… Sampling complete! [doing Rainbow's voice] 'Sup! I'm Rainbow Dash! Nice to meet'cha!
Rainbow Dash: [impressed] Man, that's truly awesome!
Rarity: Could you do my voice, please, darling! [clears her throat] I'm Rarity and I'm a genius when it comes to fashion.
Rotom Dex: Analyzing…Analyzing…Analyzing… Sampling complete! [doing Rarity's voice] My name's Rarity! Pleasure to meet you, darling!
Rarity: Ooh! Now, I have seen everything!
Ash: [coming in with the pizza] Pizza's ready!
The girls took a bite of the pizza and their eyes were sparkling in amazement!
Twilight: Wow! That's really good!
Pinkie Pie: It's more than good, it's delicious!
Rainbow Dash: Ash, you never seize to amaze me!
Ash: Well, Rainbow Dash…
[Song: Full of Surprises]
I'm full of surprises
(Twilight: Tell me he's not)
They ought to say of me
(Rarity: He is!)
I bring some razzle dazzle everywhere
I'm full of surprises
As you can plainly see
I don't find being surprising much to bare
I'm full of surprises
They ought to say of me
I bring some razzle dazzle everywhere
I'm full of surprises
As you can plainly see
I don't find being surprising much to bare.
[Ash's Pokémon] He's full of surprises
Just like he'll always be
He brings some razzle dazzle everywhere
He's full of surprises
As you can plainly see
He don't find being surprising much to bare
[Ash] Some would probably say
They're just a bunch of silly tricks
[Ash's Pokémon] But he'd say he's a problem solver
Looking for a nice quick fix!
[Ash] I'm full of surprises
They ought to say of me
[Ash's Pokémon] He brings some razzle dazzle anywhere
[Ash] I'm full of surprises
As you can plainly see
[Ash's Pokémon] He's trusting his surprises to bring care
He's full of surprises
Just like he'll always be
[Ash] I bring some razzle dazzle wherever I go
[Ash's Pokémon] He's full of surprises
As you can plainly see
[Ash] I'm trusting my surprises to be known
I hope this time being surprising will be shown
[Ash's Pokémon] They used to call them devious
[Ash] Because of some bits of previous
[Ash's Pokémon] But please you must believious
[Ash] They're not that bad… (sneaking up behind Spike)[BOO!]
(Spike: AAH!)
[Ash and his Pokémon] Well, maybe just a tad.
[Song end]
So, everyone had their pizza dinner and then Ash told more of his tales from his his world. Then, they all went to sleep.
The next morning, there was a big award ceremony happening in Ponyville to celebrate Ash and Applejack saving Ponyville from the stampede. Ash got his award first. He went on stage, got his award and spoke to audience.
Ash: Thank you, everypony, for this award, but I did it because all of you ponies are great friends to me and I like to help anyone or anypony or anything in any way I can.
Then, a female earth pony with beige coat and a pigment blue mane with pink streaks spoke up from the crowd. Her name was Sweetie Drops, but everypony calls her Bon Bon.
Bon Bon: But that's what makes you a great king. Helping others in a time of need.
Ash: I know that, but please, everypony, I'll accept this award on one condition. I want you all to address me, not as your prince, but as your friend, just call me Ash.
Ponies: We promise to do so, Ash!
Ash: Good. And now, I would like to give this other award to my best country girl friend, Applejack!
Ponies: [cheering]
That was when Ash noticed Applejack didn't show. Then, he saw Applejack coming onto the stage. She looked exhausted.
Applejack: I'm here. I'm here. [yawn] [sigh] Sorry I'm late-whoa-I was just... whoa... Did I get your tail? Ash. Thank you kindly for this here... award thingy. [yawn] It's so bright and shiny and, heh, heh heh, I sure do look funny heh. Ooo-ooo.
Pinkie Pie: Woo-ooo.
Applejack: Ooo-ooo.
Ash: Okay. Well, thank you Applejack for saving us from that scary stampede, and always being there for everypony.
Applejack: [yawn] Yeah. I like helping the ponyfolks and [yawn] and stuff. [snore] Oh, uh, yeah. Uh, Thanks.
[sounds of dragging metal]
Twilight Sparkle: Was it just me, or did Applejack seem a little-
Rainbow Dash: Tired?
Fluttershy: Dizzy?
Rarity: Messy? Well, did you see her mane?
Pinkie Pie: She seemed fine to me. Woo! Woo!
Twilight Sparkle: Hmm.
Ash: I'm going to go investigate on the matter. [heads off to Sweet Apple Acres]
When Ash arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, he saw his Pokémon working in the fields. Then, he saw a light yellow female earth pony filly with a cute red ribbon that matched her mane. Her name was Apple Bloom.
Apple Bloom: Well, hi there.
Ash: Hey, I remember you, you're Applejack's younger sister, Apple Bloom. Haven't seen you since I first met the Apple Family.
Apple Bloom: Yep, that's me. And I must be a friend of my sister. Ash Ketchum, right?
Ash: That's my name, don't wear it out. But anyway, is your sister around, I wanted to talk to her, she seemed tired when she got her award today.
Apple Bloom: Oh, well she's busy with Applebuck Season because Big Mac is out of commission. But he wanted me to tell you, if you came by, that he appreciates your Pokémon working in the fields and in the orchard. He also said that it's like you could also use them for bucking apples for Applebuck Season.
That was when an idea flew into Ash's spiky head.
Ash: Say, Apple Bloom, is there any chance I can do night shift?
That was when Apple Bloom realized what Ash's plan was.
Apple Bloom: Then, you're the right colt for the job.
Nighttime came and Applejack was still bucking the apples on the other side, but Ash however, is all set and ready for this spot with his Tauros, Melmetal, Donphan, Rhyhorn, Rapidash and Bouffalant.
Ash: [whispers] Alright, guys! You know the drill
Then, the Pokémon set to work kicking the trees as apples started to fall into the baskets and then they were tied around each of the Pokémon except for Melmetal, he was carrying them.
Ash: Alright, you guys! March!
Then, all of his Pokémon started heading towards the barn and place them inside.
Ash: Alright! Here's the plan. [points to one side of the field] You guys will do this side, [points to the other side] and I'll do that side.
The Pokémon agreed and they all set to work. Morning came as Twilight was going to the farm and talk to Applejack as she notice that she's still kicking off the apples at the tree as she then notice that other trees were all done but she then talks to her.
Twilight: Applejack, can we talk.
But Applejack's ears were ringing because she hit her head on the tree.
Applejack: Can bees squawk?!
Twilight: No, can we talk?!
Applejack: Oh, then why did you say so!
As they were talking, they saw Ash, but all worn out for some reason.
Applejack: Ash, are you feeling alright?
Ash: [snaps out of it] Yeah, I'm fine you two.
Twilight: Quick question: Do you know how the other trees are already done, Ash?
Ash: We'll talk about that later for now I'm asking Applejack something.
Applejack: And what's that?
Ash: Well do you think you can stop bucking the Apples?
Applejack: [stubbornly] No way Ash I'm gonna get the harvest done. You've gotta problem with that?
Ash: Actually I do because YOU NEED HELP!
Twilight then noticed the bags under his eyes.
Twilight: [concerned] Ash, did you get some sleep this morning?
Ash: I'm fine really. It's Applejack I'm worried about.
Then, they saw Applejack leaving.
Ash: I tell you, Twilight, she's as stubborn as a mule. [notices the time] I'll be going now. [As he's walking off] See ya!
Twilight: [thinking, concerned] It's not Applejack I'm worried about now, it's you Ash.
[Who's That Pokémon? time]
(shows the shape of a butterfly Pokémon)
Ash/Twilight/Applejack: [in unison] Who's that Pokémon?
(Shape reveals to be Butterfree)
Ash/Twilight/Applejack: [in unison] It's Butterfree!
Butterfree: FREE FREE!
[End]
Another night came in Sweet Apple Acres as Ash and his Pokémon are marching again and see the other trees are ready for harvest.
Ash: Alright, you guys! Move out!
Then, Tauros, Melmetal, Donphan, Rhyhorn, Rapidash and Bouffalant set to work kicking and lightly punching the trees causing apples to fall once again to the baskets and Ash tied them on the tauros again then march back to the farm as Apple Bloom and Big Mac sees them with the Apples then notice Ash's eyes are starting to close.
Ash: Oh no! Must stay awake! Time for Uproar.
Then, Ash used Uproar, in which Ash yells out loud, making blue sound waves come out of its mouth. It also makes him unable to fall asleep.
Ash: Now, time to keep bucking.
Ash then went back and start bucking the trees while Pokémon needed rest as he got back.
Apple Bloom: Ash, good timing. [notices Ash looks exhausted] Ash, you should get some sleep there.
Ash: [denying] I'll be fine Apple bloom [rests for a bit].
Meanwhile, Team Rocket was spying on Ash and noticed the field of apple trees.
James: [quietly] That is kind of the twerp to help that country twerpette with her harvesting.
Meowth: [quietly] After all, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Jessie: [quietly] Who cares about that. I say we swipe that country twerpette's apples and make our own apple-based items. Then, everypony in Ponyville will come to Cafe Rocket for some our tasty delicacies and we'll be swimming in cash.
Team Rocket: [quietly] Training in the culinary, Bingo!
Wobbuffet: [too loud] WOB-BU…
Team Rocket: [trying to keep Wobbuffet quiet] Shhhhhhh!
[timeskip]
Next morning, at Sugarcube Corner, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were about make muffins in kitchen, but Mr. and Mrs. Cake had a few concerns.
Mrs. Cake: Now Pinkie Pie, are you sure you're up for baking the muffins and running the store this afternoon?
Pinkie Pie: Yes siree bob, Mrs Cake. Plus, I have Ponyville's prized pony to help me out. Why, she's the best baker ever. Right, Applejack?
Mr. Cake: No? You're not the best baker ever?
Applejack: WHAT? Oh no! I mean, don't you fret. I can bake anything from fritters to pies in the blink of an eye.
Mrs. Cake: [sigh] All right. Well, see you later, girls! [leaves with Mr. Cake]
Pinkie Pie: Stop with the shakin', it's time to get bakin'.
[timeskip]
Pinkie Pie: All right-y! I'll get the sugar and the eggs. Can you get me some chocolate chips?
Applejack: Eh, uh, whu, what was that?
Pinkie Pie: Chocolate chips.
Applejack: Chips... got it. Tater chips, a little salty and dry, okie-dokie. What next?
Pinkie Pie: Baking : Soda. Perfect. That'll get the tater chips nice and wet. Now what?
Pinkie Pie: A cup of flour.
Applejack: A cup o' sour? Well, lemons are sure sour. One cup o' sour, comin' up. Anything else, Pinkie?
Pinkie Pie: One last thing. Wheat germ.
Applejack: Wheat worms? Oh, that must be fancy talk for earthworms.
Pinkie Pie: Now that's gonna be delicious.
Applejack: If you say so.
(This can't be good)
Later, after the muffins were done, Pinkie Pie and Applejack had a stand outside with the muffins on it as they call to the ponies of Ponyville.
Pinkie Pie: Free muffin sample spectacular!
[ponies: mmm, muffins]
Applejack: Yeah! Muffin spectacles! Get 'em while they're hot.
Later that day, Twilight and Spike were heading to the Ponyville hospital where the nurse was waiting.
Twilight Sparkle: We came as soon as we heard.
Nurse Redheart: Oh thank you, Twilight. We need all the help we can get.
[ponies moaning]
Twilight Sparkle: Oh no! What happened?
Spike: [sniffs a muffin]
Nurse Redheart: It was a mishap with some of the baked goods.
Pinkie Pie: No, not baked goods, baked bads. [groans]
Twilight Sparkle: Applejack.
Spike: [chomp] Want one?
Then, Ash came along.
Ash: [yawns] Twilight, I came as soon as I could.
Ash noticed the ponies ill and he used Secret Power, in which his body glows pink and it releases a soft, gentle pink wave from its body all around the room, to cure them as the ponies are feeling much better.
Pinkie Pie: [relieved] Thanks, Ash! You are a lifesaver!
Ash: Don't mention it! [yawn] I have to go! [leaves to go and do more applebucking with his Pokémon going to help him out as best he can]
Twilight was worried about both Ash and Applejack as Pinkie Pie told her what happened and then they're was a stampede of bunnies have happen as well because of Applejack's exhausted week from Applebuck season then she notice more apple trees are being bucked but not from Applejack she then came to Ash as she sees him really exhausted from his secret night shift that he didn't tell anypony about.
Twilight: Ash!
Ash: [startled waking up] ah wha..Oh, hi, Twilight! Still having problems with Applejack?
Twilight: It's not just her I'm worried about its you. How long were you doing night shift?
Ash knew he had no choice as he whispered to her what he was doing in her ear.
Twilight: You were doing applebucking with your Pokémon as a night shift.
Ash nodded his head, which means yes.
Twilight: [figures] Well that can explain why you're so tired.
Ash: But I'm not done yet and I knew about Applejack's stubbornness so I'm going to finish my night shift and promise me you'll keep it a secret.
Twilight: [having no choice as well] Okay, but please don't stress yourself.
Ash: [hugs Twilight] I'm sorry I lied to you, Twilight. And I promise not to stress [walks off to continue work]
Twilight: [showing a pink streak][smiles] My, Ash is as stubborn as a mule. [as an actual mule heard that][apologies] No offense.
The mule kindly nods as a sign for "none taken."
Meanwhile, Ash yawned as he neared Sweet Apple Acres.
Ash: I should've gotten some shut eye last night. Twilight's right about that!
When Ash arrived, he saw Applejack pushing a cart full of apples that made Ash worried about that.
Ash: Applejack!
Applejack: [looking at Ash] Ash? What're you doing here?
Ash: Relax, I just want to talk about you keep on bucking those apples in Applebuck Season by yourself.
Applejack: [yells] I know but I told you before, I don't need your help, Ash. [walks away]
Ash sees her going then he just had enough of her stubbornness.
Ash: Alright! This has gone to far, Applejack. You may be as stubborn as a mule, but I'm not giving up at night shift. [as another actual mule heard that][apologies] No offense.
The second mule kindly nods as a sign for "none taken."
Meanwhile, Twilight was with Spike talking about Applejack.
Spike: How's Applejack doing Twilight?
Twilight: Still bucking at the trees. I'd say that Ash is right about her stubbornness.
Ash was now getting more apples in the baskets as he tied them on the tauros again in the other night shift.
Ash: Man, one more tree and I'm done.
He's going to the last apple tree but he already collapsed in exhaustion as his eyes are closed. The next morning, Twilight was now heading straight to Sweet Apple Acres just as Ash was nowhere near there, then she sees Applejack was bucking the apple tree as she came to her.
Applejack: Must [gasp] keep [gasp] buckin'... just [gasp] a few [gasp] more. Must finish harvestin'.
Twilight Sparkle: All right, Applejack. Your applebucking hasn't just caused you problems, it's over-propelled Pegasus', practically poisoned plenty of ponies, and terrorized bushels of brand new bouncing baby bunnies. I don't care what you say, you. Need. Help.
Applejack: [grunts] Ha! No, I don't. Look, I did it. I harvested the entire Sweet Apple Acres without your help. How d'ya like them apples?
Big Mac: Um, how do you like those apples?
Applejack: [sees the apples] [mumbling] Where'd all the apple...? [mumbling] [sighs] [collapses and faints]
Twilight: Applejack. Applejack.
Applejack: [comes to] Huh?
Twilight: Oh, good, you're okay. Now Applejack, I completely respect the Apple family ways. You're always there to help any pony in need, so maybe you can put a little of your stubborn pride aside and allow your friends to help you.
Applejack: Okay, Twilight.
Twilight: I am not taking "no" for an answer-what?
Applejack: Yes, Twilight. Yes, please. I could really use your help.
Twilight: [chuckles] [sigh]
As the mane 6 were working in the fields, Twilight Sparkle had written a letter to Princess Celestia.
Twilight Sparkle: Dear Princess Celestia, My friend Applejack is the best friend a pony could ever have, and she's always there to help any pony. The only trouble is, when she needs help, she finds it hard to accept it, so while friendship is about giving of ourselves to friends, it's also about accepting what our friends have to faithful student,Twilight Sparkle.
Then, Applejack comes out with drinks for everyone.
Applejack: How about y'all take a little break? I got some fine apple juice waitin' for ya! [as the girls came over to their drinks][sigh] Girls, I can't thank you enough for this help. I was acting a bit stubborn.
Twilight Sparkle: A bit?
Applejack: Okay. A mite stubborn, and I'm awful sorry. Now, I know the town gave me the Prized Pony award, but the real award is having you five as my friends, including Ash. Speaking of the colt, where is he anyway. I wanted to apologize to him too.
That was when they heard snoring coming from one side of the field. They went over and saw Ash sleeping under a tree.
Rainbow Dash: He's sleeping?!
Then, Rarity sees a note on his side.
Rarity: [points to the note] Look, a note. [reads] Dear Applejack, I knew you were too stubborn to ask for any help, so I had secretly done a night shift with my Pokémon so that the applebucking can get done faster. I hope that you're Applebuck Season is a complete success and I'm sorry for not telling you or the other girls sooner. Your best friend, Ash.
Applejack: [touched] That's really nice of him to do that. I'm gonna have to thank him when he wakes up.
Twilight: But, I said it before and I'll say it again. He's such a silly colt.
Rarity: Indeed he is, darling.
Then, they heard Lycanroc coming towards them.
Lycanroc: Girls! Girls! Emergency!
Applejack: What's the matter, Lycanroc?
Lycanroc: You've got rats in the field. And by rats, I mean a giant robot that looks like a Meowth with a big red R on it and it's stealing your apples.
Ash: [waking up] Did I just hear Lycanroc say a red R?
Twilight: Yeah, why?
Ash: It's Team Rocket again!
That made the girls shocked!
Rainbow Dash: Well, what are we waiting for, let's kick some Team Rocket butt.
So they rushed to the apple field where the robot that best fit Lycanroc's description was there stealing all of the apple trees. Jessie, James and Meowth were inside driving it the robot.
Jessie: We'll have enough apples to make our own apple-based items and we'll be so rich we might run that Apple Family out of business.
That was when Ash and the Mane 6 arrived with the Pokémon.
Applejack: Hey, whaddya think you're doing?!
And cue the motto!
Jessie: Prepare for trouble, we're doing what we do best!
James: And make it double, while forgetting the rest!
Jessie: An evil as old as the galaxy...
James: ...Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
Meowth: With Meowth, that's me!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: And it's James!
Meowth: Meowth, that's a name!
Jessie: Wherever there's peace in the universe…
James: …Team Rocket...
Meowth: …Is there...
Team Rocket: To make everything worse!
Wobbuffet: [on cue] WOBBUFFET!
Mime Jr: [on cue] MIME MIME MIME!
[End motto]
Twilight: I thought we beat you clowns yesterday?!
James: We should've told you, but when you knock us down, we always get back up.
Applejack: Return my family's apples or you're going to be sorry!
Jessie: Sorry, country twerpette. But these apples will be our one way ticket to Cash Kingdom.
James: Once we picked all these apples, make them into our own tasty apple-based items and sell them, we'll be so rich that we might run your Apple Family out of business.
Meowth: Don't worry, we'll save you some, after your few years of retirement.
Ash: There's no way that's happening! [to Lycanroc] Lycanroc, use Accelerock!
Lycanroc: Right! [using Accelerock] ACCELEROCK!
Lycanroc surrounded itself in a white aura and then slams itself into the robot at a high speed and caused the robot to drop the bag full of apples. Then, Ash used Psychic to float the bag safely down to the ground.
Ash: Now, to do take care of these clowns. [to the girls] Let's do this, girls!
Mane 6: Right!
(This moment I'm about to do is a bit like what a certain group of colorful bears do)
Jessie: [angry] This is all your fault, James!
James: [angry] Me?! You're the one who wanted to steal the country twerpette's apples.
Meowth: Uh, maybe you should forget about that and look at what's about to come!
Team Rocket looked and saw Ash and the girls on their hind legs with serious looks on their faces and their Elements on.
Ash: Remember, girls, just like we practiced.
Twilight: Okay! Let's do this!
Ash: Elements of Harmony Countdown!
Ash and the Mane 6: [in unison] 4…3…2…1…RAINBOWS!
The beam of energy being sent by the Elements of Harmony, made impact with Team Rocket's robot causing it to explode and send them flying.
Team Rocket: WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
Wobbuffet: WOBBUFFET!
Mime Jr.: MIME MIME!
[star finish]
Applejack: And stay out, ya varmints!
Ash: That was great, girls. Not bad for your first time using the Elements of Harmony Rainbows in a battle.
Twilight: And we owe it all to our greatest battle skills mentor himself.
Ash: Aww, thanks Twilight.
Applejack: And Ash, thank you for doing night shift. You're the greatest friend a country gal like me could ever have.
Ash: Thanks, Applejack. Now, whaddya say we finish up here and then clean up the boo-boos that AJ made.
Applejack: [chuckles nervously] Guess I owe the citizens of Ponyville an apology for my little mishaps.
Ash: Indeed you do, AJ. Indeed you do.
Narrator: Having solved another problem between friends, our heroes now know that it's better when you have friends working together side by side. As the journey continues!
To be continued…
And that's it for this chapter! Again, sorry for the late update. I've been chalked full of Pokémon crossover ideas that I didn't get a chance to update this one. I hope you all enjoyed it. And there's more to come. So, until then, see you all next time!
