A Walking Chestnut (Pokemon x MLP) (Cross post from Fimfiction)

Chapter 7: A Chestnut going on a hike.

It was 2 in the morning when I woke up.
I decided to wake up this early for one simple reason.
I want to see the sun rise from the top of a mountain.
And not just any mountain.
But the tallest mountain that can be seen from Ponyville, Withing walking distance of course.

From the town of Ponyville, walking to the highest peak available, would take a pony approximately half an hour to reach the base of the mountain, and another hour to walk up it.

For me, It will take much longer to reach before the sun rises, So I eat an entire Pie, And take my leave quickly.

My fastest method of travel, after hours of testing over the past two days, Is using the move Rollout for thirty seconds, and then walk on my feet for five minutes before using Rollout again.
The breaks between uses of the move are to keep my vertigo low and my energy stable.

It turns out, That Using Pokemon Moves is more Tiring than actually moving.
By Using only Rollout, with the occasional Vine Whip for a sharp turn, I should be able to keep my Pokemon Energy, or Pokemon Power, PP for short, In check for a while before needing to rest.

By using this technique of Rollout and Walking, I managed to get to the bottom of the mountain in only forty minutes. Now Sure, The hard part begins when I actually start climbing. Rollout will be a lot less useful on an upward slope, But that's why I have Vine whip.

By Using Vine Whip while still inside of Rollout, I should be able to form a rudimentary slingshot, Where I will use the Vine Whip to throw myself forward as a ball.

I should have an hour and a half before the sun starts to rise. Let's get started!

Waking up early is normal for birds, Early Bird gets the worm and all that, And it's no different for Red.
Lately when Red wakes up, he sees his new neighbor, The Mysterious Mr Chespin, Doing laps around the clearing between the trees or rolling around as a ball around the lake, kicking up a cloud of dust in the process.
He was expecting to hear him Working out just like he did three days in a row.

But Nothing. No grunts of effort, Now Panting for breath, not even the weird sound he makes when he rolls into a ball.
It's actually quite today?

Something must have happened to him. And as any good friend and neighbor should, Red flies towards Chespin's burrow and checks inside.

It's the same as usual, Pillow, Pot, Pan, Forks and spoons. Even the pile of food he collected is still in the back, slightly smaller sure, but that's because it was eaten.
But Chespin isn't there.

Something must have happened for the usually calm and stoic Chespin to leave so suddenly? Did he move to a different Forest? He did seem to be from far away, with the unique accent he had. It was sometimes hard to distinguish his R from a W.

But for how little everybody in the forests surrounding the small town of Ponyville knew of Chespin, They were at least sure he wouldn't leave without telling anyone.

What If he's in danger?! Was he kidnapped by Poachers in order to be sold as an exotic animal? Or maybe he was training these past few days so he can get revenge on the person who stole his lover, That would explain why he was turning down and ignoring so many obvious signs! He wasn't a Heart-breaker, He was already Taken!

That Must be it! He needs to tell everyone that Chespin has gone to fight for the honor of a maiden! When he returns victorious, Bride in his arms, The whole forest will celebrate his success!

Yes!

And so Red the Tanager Bird flew away to tell everyone he knows.
