You may be thinking, 'But Delta, nothing about this is original.' And to that I say, yes, you are correct.

Through a mysterious incident, Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer are transported to the world of Pokémon. Unfortunately, while Sci-Twi arrives as a human, Sunset is transformed into a Pokémon.

Working together as a Trainer and her Pokémon, the two must journey through the realm of Kanto in an attempt to find their way home and, in the process, learn as much as they can about this strange new world.

(This is a crossover between MLP:EG and the fangame Pokemon Insurgence, with the story following the dark storyline of the game. This essentially means that other than a few acts of violence and a couple of non major deaths, the only big thing is that the evil teams are cults.)

As strange occurrences begin happening around CHS that Sunset and the others can't seem to figure out, Sunset hopes that a visit with Twilight will help clear her head and yield some answers. However, things go awry as the portal to and from Equestria is corrupted by a shadowy entity that drags Sunset through the portal and into a world that while similar, is entirely different than that of the human version of Equestria. As Sunset travels through what is known as the Torren region with a boy who has lost his memories alongside strange creatures known as Pokemon, the two of them must fight cults who wish to use the power of the legendary Pokemon they worship in hopes of ruling over the region, all the while uncovering the dark secrets the region keeps hidden in hopes of finding a way for Sunset to get back to CHS.

Discord and Moondazzle, two Mega Evolved pokemon, find their way into Equestria. They're both famous for killing gods, and now have their sights set on Twilight Sparkle. However, it seems Twilight will be a harder kill than they're used to, and to make things worse they've been sentenced to reformation at the School of Friendship.

Violence and profanity just in case this gets out of hand. Death because the story has a killing theme.

(Displaced ) I liked the Pokémon that was in Ash's team in the XY series. Goodra was a sweet, lovable. And one power house to go up against. But it's not all I liked about it. But now I am one! It's not that bad, I mean I'm a Pokémon and look cute... Thing is, from where I stand now. Not a lot of life can be seen. Guess a little help with water will turn it around... Better start then.

After waking up in Equestria, Arrow finds himself no longer a human but a rowlet. He doesn’t remember much of his human life, but he came up with the alias ‘Arrow’ after recalling rowlet’s evolutionary line ends with a decidueye, which is an archer of sorts. Arrow quickly finds out that he had somehow injured himself, so he goes off looking for help.

Nearby, a recently reformed Luna walks the garden near midnight as she stumbles across the injured owl. She takes him in and nurses him back to health before adopting him as her pet. Unbeknownst to her, Arrow is far more intelligent that her sister’s Phoenix.

Profanity Warning: Sunset Shimmer isn't afraid to use pony profanity and expect that to spread to others later. While it is essentially kid-friendly profanity, profanity is still profanity.

Two weeks after her fraternal brother had gone missing, Sunset Shimmer encountered Twilight Sparkle, and ended up becoming the purple unicorn's surrogate big sister. This not only caused things to change for the both of them, but also it healed the hole in Sunset's heart in ways even the orange unicorn was unaware that she needed.

Welcome to the rebooted version of the "When Friendship Shimmers" universe. Things will be starting of differently here, with some fun HCs, a few surprises, and an altered opening. The surprises will be starting right out the gate though, if the fact that the story starting with "Season 0" wasn't already an indication that things are not the same from the original version of this universe. And here's hoping this time, people will enjoy the story I wish to tell. Oh, and let's just say...I've taken some creative liberities out of the gate.

Currently revealed HCs:
Sunburst is considered Sunset's baby half-brother, both sharing the same mother but two different fathers
Sunset has her own dragon companion known as Ray (named after the lizard pet she has in the Equestria Girls world from the original cannon, though only the name and color match)
A land north of what will become the Crystal Empire is part of the grand Eeveelution Kingdom known as Icicle Vally; making the kingdom neighbors to Equestria itself. Lightning Town & Team Strikers being from outside Equestria, but Raiden's fame of being a hometown hero is enough to basically allow them to be in equestria without any problems.

Currently revealed relationships:
Sunburst & Sunset being half-siblings
Sunset being Twilight's surrogate older sister
King Throsten; formally Prince Throsten; being an Equestrian Ally alongside the entire Eeveelution Kingdom.
Dragon Ray and Spike treating each other like brothers because of their unicorn companions being surrogate sisters
Scootaloo being Rainbow Dash's Biological LIttle Sister

Notice: While Throsten and his eight Eeveelution wives are part of this reboot, they will only appear in non-plot relevant episodes as side characters. This story is not about them, this story is about an alternate MLP:FiM world where Sunset Shimmer becomes Twilight Sparkle's surrogate sister

Update 8/12/2023 - This story now has a cover art, but this one isn't the long-term one. I did find the cover art that is up right now and thought it'd be nice to have up as this story before certain events happen. Plus, I think by having cover art for before Sunset becomes an alicorn in this universe, it adds to the progression of the story.

Update 8/14/2023 - Fanfiction author "Sunset JJ" is trying to repost this story on Fanfiction without my permission. The next chapter will have to now include the "Rob Snowden Production" notice to deter them away from copying more of this story. Please only read the version on this website as this is the only true official verison. The one on Fanfiction is being created by a story stealer.

Update 8/25/2023 - This Story has entered the featured story section as of today. Honestly, looks like this has become the popular story of this account.

Update 8/28/2023 - Someone made a comment about the way I'm portraying DID in this story. If you want the behind the scenes info, and have issues with what I'm doing with DID, read this blog post: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1021373/marana-milissa-and-did-behind-the-scenes

Update 10/19/2023 - A death tag has been added for saftey reasons. Not all chapters will contain instances of death though. Only chapters with the specific warning attached will actually have deaths in them. Better to be safe then sorry though.

Update 12/19/2023 - There currently seems to be an ongoing issue where trying to change the cover of the story breaks the site. Until this gets fixed, you guys are just going to have to deal with the temporary cover. I apologize for this inconvenience, but right now, this is beyond my control.

Update 12/22/2023 - While trying to figure out how to upload the cover I wanted to put on this story, I came across this one, and this is much closer to what I originally envision AS the cover in the first place. So I consider this a win.

Waking up in the middle of a town, with ponies staring at you in shock, and the fact that the ruler here thinks I will make a good pet, is something I would really like to get away from, oh and I'm currently the Pokemon of the Sun, Solgaleo.

The Digital and Real world are on the verge of collapse by a new enemy. While it has been defeated, the Real world is practically dead with the Digital realm following if nothing is done. Together with the current digimon hero and his(?) allies, they will travel the stars with the remaining humans and digimon until they reach equs, twenty years before Luna’s banishment.

With the digital world restored with equs being its anchor. The two realms live in peace. That is until a thousand years later, the Pokémon arrive. Will the digimon who live in harmony with humanity be at peace with the Pokémon who are at discord with humanity?

Grey enjoyed his life, simple though it may have been. He was a simple Engineer from Anville Town, working with his Pokemon to maintain the Battle Subway. However, when Arceus moved most of the population of Earth, human and Pokemon, to Equis, he found himself as a shiny Metagross in a world where the steam engine is a recent discovery, and magic is real. With that in mind, he sets himself a goal: find his scattered Pokemon, and create a new rail system for his new home, and new friends.
