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.

Arceus generally has a big ego believing that because he is a god he can do anything he wants, however he is very protective of his legendary family and other Pokémon in general.
