Arceus has been imprisoned for many millennia, and in that time he has watched his world fall apart. But once he is finally freed from his prison he decides that to protect his Pokemon, and his family, that he will move the Pokemon, and a few select 'humans' to a world where they might live in peace, Equestria. However, not everyone on this new world shares his view of peace and the very presence of the Pokemon upsests some of the citizens of the world, even some of the ones he brought with aren't too happy with the situation. But a god's will is a strong thing and without his willingness the Pokemon and the citizens of Equestria are going to have to learn to get along, or at least tolerate each other. And there's a slight problem with some of the humans too, well, former humans that is.

''A New World, A New Way'' is a {{Crossover}} fanfic between ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' written by [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/zeusdemigod131 Zeusdemigod131]]. The story is set in an AlternateUniverse of ''Pokemon'' (the writer himself admits that the Pokemon world here is a hodge podge of the [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries anime]], [[{{Videogame/Pokemon}} games]], and [[{{Manga/Pokemon}} mangas]]), and takes place somewhere after the beginning of Season four of ''Friendship is Magic''.

* BoundAndGagged: When Arceus and a handful of legendaries were imprisoned, this could have described their situation, albeit they weren't physically bound nor gagged. Akuta was literally bound and gagged when she was captured. The entire legendary council [[spoiler: went through this event in the final chapters via Enkidu's Noble Phantasm, Enuma Elish.]]


Added DiffLines:

* GodIsFlawed: Arceus to the extreme. The story makes sure to highlight his arrogance and flaws, as well as the way he is prejudiced against humanity as a whole. Even characters like Celestia point this out.


Added DiffLines:

* HumansAreBastards: Both in the Pokemon World, and in Panhuman History. Played to the exact letter, especially in the Pokemon World, where Arceus and others' misanthropy originated.

As ultra powerful beings Scathach-Skadi, after the loss of her Scandinavian Lostbelt [[spoiler:reappears to assist Chaldea in their battle against Arceus and Mewtwo.]]
* OurGodsAreDifferent: By nature of the Nasuverse, gods are a variety of beings, from beings that were born gods and being that became gods through reverence. For example,[[spoiler:gods from the Greek Pantheon, for example, became gods through the worship of the Greek people even for their nature as extraterrestrial machines, while Quetzalcoatl and Skadi were born gods.]] For the Pokemon side, only Arceus is sole the deity. While not being "true" deities, Legendary Pokemon were worshipped as gods nonetheless.
* PhysicalGods: Arceus and all of his overpowered glory. Same with a few Servants and their overpowered glories.

More tropes added to A New World, A New Way: Requiem from the Lostbelt as well as a few edits

Added DiffLines:

* KryptoniteFactor: Servants, as heroes recorded in human history, have various weaknesses corresponding to their legend. Since they are mere recreations of the heroes, their weaknesses in legend are also recreated in their second life.
--> '''Twilight''': “But as interesting as a story that was, what does it tell us about Karna?... Does he have any weaknesses that we can exploit?”
--> '''Mewtwo''': “Well, unless we can somehow replicate the curses that lead to his death in life. It seems that Karna can only be beaten from sheer power and skill alone,”
* LateToTheTragedy: Arceus, had he been a seconds faster, could have prevented [[spoiler:the death of at least Articuno, as he did not realize and accept the deaths of Zapdos and Moltres until it was too late. When he teleported, it was already too late and Articuno was dead.]]

* EliteMooks: Arecus grants Pokemon access to Z-Moves, something which was implied to be inaccessible to Pokemon until that point, to deal with Servants due to the overpowered nature of their adversaries.


Added DiffLines:

* ForWantOfANail: The history of Equestria was [[spoiler:supposed to play out like the show, as the story diverted from canon mid-Season 4, with history being planned out and directed by Harmony. However, little changes in events from Starswirls' time until the arrival of the Pokemon all culminated into the main plot and the Lostbelts.]]
* Foreshadowing:
* HappyEndingOverride: The Pokemon, ponies, and former humans, led happy lives in the brand new Equestria. They had a new world, and a new way into their futures. However it is all taken due to the arrival of the Lostbelts, and Chaldea's goal of eradicating them all.
* HealingFactor: Evident on both sides. Arceus and his legendaries, due the nature of Arceus as a deity, and legendaries as beings with Authority. Servants, on the side of Chaldea, especially if they have a Master to command them.
* KilledOffscreen: As much as a battle between [[spoiler:Okada Izou and Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres would have been legendary, pun intended, the Legendary Birds were dispatched with ease.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ArchEnemy: Sev declares Chaldea to be this to the PLA. Since the latter is meant to overthrow humanity,(at least it claims to be) and the former is all about keeping humanity alive for as long as possible. This trope falls apart though since the PLA more or less had their main goal accomplished when Arceus was freed. Although to be fair, when the PLA was under the leadership of Viper, he did have human extinction in mind. So if he was still alive, then this trope would be played completely straight.


Added DiffLines:

* TheWorfEffect: Before the appearance of Servants, Arceus and the Legendary Pokemon were without question the single most powerful group of beings on the planet. Now with the introduction of Heroic Spirits who are more than capable of matching them in a fight, they now have an equal.

Added DiffLines:

*BigWHAT: When most of the main characters from Book 1 and the Legendary Pokemon learn that the planet they migrated to was an alternate Earth, their reaction is bad to say the least. This gets invoked again a few moments later when they learn that the timeline they're all living in was pruned due to humans not existing in it, which leads to a nastier reaction than the last one.


Added DiffLines:

*HumansAreSpecial: The very idea that human prosperity is the reason why timelines are deleted or allowed to continue is a source of outrage for several characters, as they don't belives humans should have that level of importance in deciding which worlds live or die.
* IrrationalHatred: Logically speaking, other than fighting to keep their worlds alive, humanity has no real conflict with Equus or the Pokemon. However, due to the mistreatment at the hands of the humans back in their world, certain characters have come to despise this Earth's version of humanity by virtue of being the same species.

Added DiffLines:

*EntitledBastard: Certain Pokemon characters feel that despite the fact they knowingly invaded another planet,(without knowing it was another Earth) believe that they are justified in destroying humanity and claiming the Earth as their own since Pokemon have had the short end of the stick for so long. It basically boils down to, "Humans are terrible when it comes to taking care of the planet, it should be given to us since we deserve a break after what they put us through, and we would do a better job at tending to it". Keep in mind before finding out humans existed here, Arceus still knowingly brought his Pokemon to another world that was already inhabited and just expected everyone to go along with it because he did not have the power to do it again.

Added DiffLines:

* GreenEyedMonster: Played with, several Pokemon characters express frustration with the fact that humanity has the Counter Force, a SentientCosmicForce that actively works to prevent their extinction by whatever means necessary. Although this is less out of jealousy and more because they think humans don't deserve such a powerful safety net. Of course, this leads to some wondering if it is possible to attack the Counter Force directly.

* SentientCosmicForce: Alaya, the Counter Force of humanity, is responsible for sending servants to Equestria and other countries around the world. In the Nasuverse, only the Mage Society is aware of it, but Arceus and the World Leaders make the Counter Force and what it can do publicly known after learning about it from the Goddess Harmony.

* HumansAretheRealMonsters: A theme that is continued from Book 1 is how humanity is viewed in a negative light, (at least by the general Pokemon population) with some characters agreeing that they got what they deserved, even going as far as saying being turned into Pokemon is a light sentence. With the resurgence of humanity in the form of Servants sent by the Human Order aka Alaya, many characters have renewed their contempt for humans, and because humanity is trying to destroy them in order to live, they use this as a justification.
