A New World, a New Way

A New World, a New Way is an ongoing story by Zeusdemigod131. The story is set in Equestria where Arceus has, in a act of desperation, teleported all Pokemon from Earth to Equus in order to keep them out of the hands of humans who would abuse their power. The story has since gained its own mini fanbase with several other authors also writing side stories set in the same universe.

Premise
The story centers around the general MLP cast, along with former humans turned Pokemon, whom Arceus found worthy of being teleported. The main conflict is whether or not the Pokemon can stay in Equus.
