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.
