My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Alola. Poni Island. Vast Poni Canyon. Afternoon.

Many, many Pheromosas had arrived. Twilight had summoned them from Ultra Space, forming an Ultra Wormhole and the Pheromosas that arrived were all allies.

To make sure that they don't disturb Twilight, all the Pheromosa would focus on pushing them away from this area. Of course, they also had to get all those ships away from the Altar of the Sunne as well but with how many Pheromosas were here, that would not be a problem. The Pheromosas started fighting back, taking their chance to turn the tides in favour of themselves.

"Mosa!" The one from before leapt into the air once more, smashing its body straight into Xurkitree, sending it crashing down with immense force. The Wire Pokemon hit the ground hard as Pherosmosa spun around once more, landing on it feet and spinning itself forward at high speeds, slamming itself against a Celesteela's stomach.

The Ultra Beasts would struggle to keep up with the Pheromosa, unable to attack them since they were fast enough to dodge the slower attacks. Their speed was too great to even land a blow on most of the Pheromosas that were present.

Some of the ponies would get back into their ships for an advantage, but the Pheromosas are still capable of jumping onto them midair and fighting them there. Some of the ships crashed and broke apart while others would get damaged in other ways.

Soon, the Altar of the Sunne became even more chaotic than before, now with Ultra Beasts and Pheromosas clashing with one another, doing anything to defeat the opponent. Spitfire growled, fixating her attention towards Twilight while all of this chaos was going on. She would prompt Xurkitree to get up, going straight for Twilight by taking flight.

But she was immediately stopped by Rainbow Dash, who flew in front of her. "You're ruining it for us! We're supposed to be keeping the momentum up now that we've absorbed Lunala!" Spitfire ranted. "Move aside!"

She tried barging her way through, only for Rainbow Dash to stop her, their hooves connecting and pressing against each other.

"Not gonna happen! I'm not letting you anywhere near her!" She barked back at Spitfire as the two growled at each other. Eventually, they ended pushing each other away from the Altar of the Sunne, but it was mainly Rainbow Dash was pushing Spitfire back. Swiftly, Mienshao and Altaria would follow after her. Xurkitree did the same thing as it took flight along with the Nihilego and Buzzwole, all going after them as they pushed themselves away from Twilight.

They went hurtling through the air, landing on Vast Poni Canyon. The two of them fell on the canyon, their bodies bouncing off the surface several times until coming to a complete stop. With a grunt, they both stood back up on their legs, panting as they had just landed here from the high altitude.

"Ohh...!" Spitfire groaned, her glasses coming off due to the fall as she saw them falling right next to her. "Rainbow Dash...!"She growled her name while getting back up.

"Hm. This should be far enough." Rainbow Dash smirked, knowing she was getting on Spitfire's nerves. But it was her fault for going out of range of the Altar of the Sunne. Now, she extended Twilight's time.

"Don't think you can keep me away forever." Just then, Spitfire would put her hoof in her mouth, making a whistling sound, as if she was calling for something. And indeed she was. Back at the Altar of the Sunne, her private ship would soon start taking off. It flew past the battle happening at the Altar of the Sunne, gravitating towards its owner.

The ship had already arrived as Rainbow Dash gasped at its arrival. Spitfire would take flight immediately, going straight for her ship. As soon as she got on board, Spitfire was more than ready to get out of here. However, in her way was Altaria. Spitfire kissed her teeth once she saw the Humming Pokemon in her way. Turns out, she wasn't leaving so easily once more.

Rainbow Dash took flight, hovering side-by-side with her partner as Mienshao had caught up, coming to a screeching halt. Spitfire looked down to see Mienshao's arrival, but when looking ahead, she knew that Xurkitree would be here as well. All around her, Pheromosas and other Ultra Beasts were scattering, distancing themselves from the Altar of the Sunne due to all the chaos.

"No matter. Even if I don't get to Solgaleo, it'll still be absorbed regardless. Her Majesty will ensure it. You can't stop what's coming Rainbow Dash. None of you can. Necrozma will reach his full power and then nothing will stop our goal!" She shouted. Suddenly, her ship revealed a weapon in front of it, charging up energy in a small orb. Once the energy was charged enough, it fired a beam of light right at Altaria, who would narrowly avoid the attack.

Spitfire would begin unloading a barrage of light orbs at the group, forcing them all to fly higher in the sky while her ship unleashed another volley. Rainbow Dash and Mienshao managed to evade this as they kept going up and up. However, the others weren't so lucky. Altaria was shot, barely avoiding most of the attack but the damage done was evident, making her flinch in the air.

"Altaria! Use Hyper Voice!"

"Al...Tari!" Altaria would cry out, a great soundwave flying forward. Spitfire quickly made her ship unleash a soundwave of its own, two blasts clashing with one another as the energy shook the many rocks in Vast Poni Canyon. Then, at the same time, both soundwaves would explode, causing shockwaves through the area, blowing back some of the rubble.

Mienshao would back away, seeing the ground near her come apart at the might of these attacks. Switching from Light Orbs, Spitfire would instead fire a powerful laser blast that went straight for Mienshao. The Fighting-Type swiftly dodged out of the way, evading the first strike of the laser, which exploded against the canyon.

Several more were sent towards Rainbow Dash and Altaria, who kept flying away from them as they came at high speeds. Both would make sharp turns, avoiding every laser that was shot at them. "Altaria! Moonblast!" Rainbow Dash ordered.

"Aria!" Altaria cried out, generating a ball of pink energy that would fly towards the ship. But Spitfire wouldn't allow such an attack to land, sending her own beams of light to destroy Altaria's Moonblast, dispelling the attack and leaving Altaria vulnerable. She attempted to generate another one, only for Spitfire's lasers to shoot her, making her drop in altitude before correcting herself.

"Alta!" Altaria went flying, her body bouncing on the ground before tumbling onto her side, trying to recover. Her speed was too great for her to control, hitting the ground with full force. The moment she stopped, Altaria groaned in pain.

"Tari..."

"Altaria!" Rainbow Dash gasped, her eyes shrinking as her partner was hurt by those lasers. She glared at Spitfire, snarling at her. "You...!"

"My ship was upgraded to specifically handle Pokemon! They're far too powerful to just throw the usual at them! So everything I have in this ship can take down any Pokemon I wish." She boasted as she saw Rainbow Dash growling. "Something for your Altaria, something for your Mienshao, if you bring out your Braviary or Luxray, I most definitely have something for them. Whirlipede is no exception and I especially have something for her...Zerarora."

"Hmph. Yeah, whatever." Rainbow Dash scoffed, promptly returning Altaria to her Poke Ball. "You may have everything you need, but I bet you don't have something that can stop this." Deciding to pull out all the stops, Mienshao and Rainbow Dash looked at each other, knowing what was coming next.

From her saddlebag, she unveiled the Fightium Z. "Let's do this! Z-Move time!" Holding it in front of her, the power of Alola would surge through the crystal, flaring up within Mienshao as Rainbow Dash was ready to strike a series of poses. "You're gonna pay for everything you've done. Hurting Zeraora and taking her world away from her, trying to hurt my friends and messing with our world. This Z-Move's gonna hurt a lot more because of that!"

"Mien!"

"Mienshao! ALL-OUT PUMMELING!"

"Mienshao!" The Fighting-Type would stomp her foot, generating a flare of aura around her. As she did so, the flare of aura would increase in size before unleashing itself as a series of punches. The aura took the shape of Mienshao's fist that rushed towards Spitfire's ship with great speed. Each one landed against the ship's barrier, cracking it upon impact.

It cracked more and more as Rainbow Dash would start throwing more punches while Mienshao did the same. The aura continued to crack the barrier as Spitfire tried to avoid the attack. She would fly her ship in various directions to avoid the blows, but Mienshao and Rainbow Dash stayed on top of her, never letting up as they continuously struck the barrier.

As this happened, the entire ship began to shake. Spitfire felt the trembling, gritting her teeth as the Z-Move was pushing her ship to its limit. It was now being barraged with rapid-fire punches, smashing right into the barrier and causing the energy surrounding the ship to be chipped off little by little. And in a matter of seconds, the barrier shattered like glass, leaving nothing to protect the ship as Mienshao smirked, ready for the finishing blow.

However, Spitfire didn't look too bothered by it as the final blow appeared in the form of a massive fist, larger than the rest of them. The last blow landed, eclipsing the ship in an orange combustion of energy. When it all dissipated, Spitfire's private ship was still intact, much to their surprise. Granted, it did take some damage, but not enough to bring it down.

"Huh?!"

"Very nice." Spitfire chuckled. "As to be expected from a Z-Move. However...!" Just then, Xurkitree would finally arrive, causing Rainbow Dash and Mienshao to turn around. "I've got one of my own. One that you shouldn't take lightly."

"Your own?!" Rainbow Dash couldn't believe her ears. And next, she wouldn't believe her eyes. From the ship, Spitfire would initiate a sequence, revealing that she too was in possession of a Z-Crystal.

The Electrium Z that is.

The Z-Crystal was placed in a mould within the ship's module, causing it to shine brightly as Spitfire smirked. The power of Alola would surge within it, however, something was different here. Unlike most times when the Z-Crystals are used, there was something aggressive about this one. Due to it coming from a place of negativity, the Crystal looked dark blue instead of yellow.

It resonated with Xurkitree, the energy reaching it all the way from here. With its Z-Power surging, it was more than ready. Xurkitree would begin charging energy, bringing its limbs together as they crackled with electricity. It had a dark aura surrounding it as it charged up, ready to release its true potential.

Due to how unusual this was for Z-Crystals, it began shaking the area itself, almost like an earthquake. The very ground trembled as the wind picked up as well. This caught everyone's attention, causing the battle at the Altar of the Sunne to halt, looking towards the source of this energy.

Rainbow Dash and Mienshao felt the might of the tremors as they stood strong, bracing themselves. "T-This is?!" Fluttershy gasped, staring from afar as they saw Spitfire's ship being affected by the tremors. In fact, it felt like an after effect as Xurkitree was the one causing them, making the ship tremble as well.

"You can gladly get out of my sight! Xurkitree! GIGAVOLT HAVOC!"

Spitfire's shout caused Xurkitree to release a burst of electricity in the form of a large pillar, so large in fact that it pierced the skies above. Everyone who saw this stared in shock. Rainbow Dash and Mienshao could only watch as this burst of electricity rushed straight towards them. The power was evident. They had to brace for impact.

The massive electricity would strike the ground, eclipsing this part of the canyon completely before expanding. The electricity would tear up parts of the canyon as a large blast was seen, even from Twilight's perspective. The sheer power unleashed was on another level as the attack kept going, tearing up everything in its path. Such aggression was not something a Z-Crystal should ever do, but that was only due to the way it was being used.

Universe 11. The Solar Empire. Canterlot.

And speaking of aggression, over at Universe 11, Luna's forces were throwing everything they had to shut down the Solar Empire's technology. Luna could be seen pushing through as many rooms as she could, moving across this altered Canterlot that wasn't even close to what she knows back in her universe, making it harder for her to navigate through it.

"Darkrai! Dark Pulse!" She bellowed, having Darkrai blow away some soldiers who stood in her way. A beam of darkness enveloped these troops, knocking them all out in an instant. "Zekrom! Fusion Bolt!" And she wouldn't stop there, having Zekrom unleash an absolutely devastating bolt of lightning that struck the floor, shutting down various machines that were present.

Thanks to Zekrom's electricity, it was much easier to bring down the technology as the lightning was strong enough to break into other rooms, spreading rapidly and hitting anything electronic.

"Drat..There's still so many of them." Luna commented, seeing that the technology here was so abundant. Even more than what Empress Twilight had. "And this castle is ginormous! Even Empress Twilight didn't increase Canterlot Castle's size to this level!"

"Luna. At this rate, with all of this ruckus we're causing, Daybreaker might find the time to return here. Most likely, the gateway should be opening outside of the castle if they wish to bring her through. I'll stay outside and watch out of the gateway." Zekrom suggested.

"Very well. We shall split up then. Darkrai, you come with me. Zekrom, you go outside and keep watch. If you see any sign of Daybreaker, inform us immediately with a powerful Thunderclap." Luna ordered.

"Understood." Zekrom nodded, flying off to do just that.

"Darkrai, let's continue. I suspect that the very top of this castle might be where we need to go. It's the most heavily guarded area, so it must be important." Luna said, prompting Darkrai to follow her.

"Right..." He nodded, following after her.

"Halt!" However, the two of them would move ahead at all. Not with the individual appearing up ahead. Arriving here was Sunrise Sparkle, who looked at the two of them with a glare. "You're not going anywhere."

"Sunrise Sparkle." Luna spoke with a low tone, staring at the alicorn that was once Twilight Sparkle. "I'm surprised you're here. I thought you'd be with Daybreaker."

"When Her Majesty is off with important affairs, sometimes, I am left as second in command. I have to make sure that no one gets in the way of our plans." She responded. "So as far as I'm concerned, you're now in my Empire's way."

"Your empire? This isn't your empire. You're just a puppet for Daybreaker. She's using you." Luna retorted.

"That's where you're wrong. I'm not being used. I'm doing this because I want to. I'm doing this because I believe in her cause. And I will do anything to ensure that her goals are met." Sunrise stated. "My ascension into Sunrise Sparkle was more than worth it."

"I can't believe you would abandon everything you had as well. What happened to all those Friendship Lessons you learned and grew from? What about the Magic of Friendship?" Luna asked.

"The Magic of Friendship is nothing but a lie. It's a false sense of security that only leads to weakness. The true path to strength is through unity. Unity under one goal. One purpose. That is what makes us strong. That is what makes us unstoppable." Sunrise explained.

"Both you and Daybreaker are too far gone from who you used to be."

"Hmph. I see that as a positive if you ask me. It makes us stronger. And what about you, Luna? In this universe, our Luna has long since passed and it was because of her unfortunate end that we've reached this point."

"I grow because I stick to what I know and love. I've even overcome Nightmare Moon, becoming friends with her. Unlike you two, who have let Daybreaker and Sunrise overtake you completely." Luna retorted. "Because of that, I can safely say that I am much stronger than ever. And most definitely stronger than you."

"Pssh. I doubt that." She rolled her eyes. "Anyways, you're trying your best to shut down our technology, even though it should be clear that our magic is equally as effective, but you have no response to that. Try as you might, Her Majesty will be returning here and more importantly, with Solgaleo already absorbed, we'll be 95% done. The 5% being your entire universe."

"And then? You already know how dangerous Necrozma can be if he absorbs too much light. Absorbing al the light in the universe will send him into an indefinite rampage. What will you do then?!"

"Hm. Hm-hm-hm." Sunrise closed her eyes, chuckling lightly before bursting out into laughter. "Hahaha! Not anymore!"

"What...?!"

"The moment he absorbed Lunala, not only did he gain tremendous light and obtain a new form, but he was still in control! He didn't go on a rampage at all! In fact, he was able to keep his sanity and focus on absorbing more light! So you see, there's no need to worry about Necrozma going on a rampage. We've got it all under control." Sunrise explained. "Once he absorbs Solgaleo, most definitely, he'll still be in his right mind."

"Curses..." Luna was hoping that wasn't the case, but it seems to be. "Regardless, we can still stop him. He's still in our Universe and at this very moment, the Pokemon Rangers are working hard to ensure that he never reaches his goal."

"Sure, sure. They are. But I can't say the same for you. For you see, even though you barged into our Universe, in a way, you also fell into our trap." Sunrise smirked.

"Trap?" Luna raised a brow.

"While we didn't set it up right away since we didn't expect you to ever get past the Cosmic Flame, it's still worth using. You'll see what I mean fairly soon." Sunrise stepped back as the walls and floor around Luna would suddenly change, each crevice and gap showing off a magical light. Suddenly, the walls opened up, unleashing what appeared to be a contained realm. In the middle of Canterlot, surrounded by many Solar Empire bases throughout its area, was what looked like another dimension hidden here within the city.

It started rapidly closing in, as well as pushing towards them, ready to suck them both in. Luna felt her body becoming weightless as the room gained a vortex-like gravity pull. Before she knew it, her body was somewhat failing her as Sunrise laughed, seeing her get pulled in towards this other dimension. Darkrai was unable to escape this field. Both of them were now sucked into this mysterious dimensional force.

"W-What on Earth...?!" Luna growled, looking on while she was floating. The environment she came across wasn't something that felt natural. She found herself in another dimension contained within the castle in secrecy. A vast expanse that appeared to be a place created within this alternate realm. All this space was filled with solar windstorms. In addition to all this wind, the atmosphere of the land is extremely intense in temperature, being the cause of Luna's sudden fatigue. "How is there a realm here?! That...!"

But that wasn't all that was here. While Sunrise Sparkle was nowhere to be found, leaving the two of them in this dimension, there was most definitely something here. Something hostile. Multiple things in fact. At the far side of this strange area where both her and Darkrai ended up, the dark abyss from across revealed themselves.

What Luna had suspected when looking deep inside. Their red pupils emerged, shining brighter due to this darker region they're in. As these monsters approached, they had hints of Sunrise Sparkle's magic around them, indicating that this was her creation.

Universe 1. Alola. Poni Island. Altar of the Sunne.

At the Altar of the Sunne, Twilight was completely left alone with Pikachu, free to focus on the Ultra Wormhole. With her friends and the Pheromosas buying her all this time, she was able to use this chance to complete her end of the plan.

"I feel it..!" She spoke, her eyes glowing as an Ultra Wormhole began forming above her head. She continued summoning energy and once it was completed, the Ultra Wormhole started spinning rapidly as if it was charging for its arrival.

But what mattered was that she could find Solagleo and not a random Ultra Beast. If she gets a random one, then it's back to square one. It has to be him. "Come on...please! Please let it be Solgaleo...!"

"Pika..." Pikachu watched how hard Twilight was struggling, giving it her all. He would try and ensure that she would get her wish by doing one thing. "Pika! Pikachu!" Pikachu climbed onto of the Altar, suddenly screaming out. He was specifically screaming for his friend Nebby, hoping his voice could reach him."Pikaaaa!"

And with Twilight's heart beating from all the magic she was using up, it happened. The Ultra Wormhole suddenly grew larger on its own as it began swirling rapidly. From the center, it shot out a beam of light as it exploded into a portal, unleashing its grand presence before the entire altar.

"Ngh!" Twilight fell on her back, unable to continue any further as Pikachu ran to her side, looking up at the Ultra Wormhole. "D-Did we do it...?"

"Pi?" Pikachu wondered. He wasn't sure as well. The two of them stared, wondering what was going to emerge from that portal. Then, finally, something, or rather, someone large would fly out of the Ultra Wormhole, the body of this individual glistening under the Alola Sun.

It was a being that resembled a lion. It had a blunt muzzle with a blue-gray nose and pale blue eyes. The top half of its face is a deep blue area that shows a constantly changing starscape. Solid ridges—red nearest Solgaleo's head and yellow farther away—poke out of each tuft along the middle, except on the tufts on its cheeks and chin, with the topmost part wrapping around the tip of the tuft. Overall, its mane created the impression of a stylized sun. It was him.

Solgaleo had arrived.

"Hah...I did it." Twilight said with a smile, her body weak from using all of that magic. And yet, she could still get up. As soon as she did, she remembered to use Pkachunium Z that Ash lent her, knowing that it was important for one reason. For Solgaleo to recognize Pikachu since Ash wasn't here.

The Sunne Pokemon looked down at the two of them, spotting Pikachu, but not Ash. He mainly spotted Twilight, who looked up at the Emissary of the Sun. "Solgaleo..." Twilight spoke to him, having a slight gulp. Solgaleo then looked her in the eyes, moving his head forward to see who this was.

Right then and there, Twilight showed it to him. The Pikashunium Z. Solgaleo's eyes widened a bit when seeing it, knowing of only one individual who had this crystal. He immediately thought another one had been made.

"Ash entrusted this Z-Crystal to me. He wanted me to bring it along...to show it to you if I ever brought you here." But Twilight quickly confirmed that it was Ash's Z-Crystal, surprising Solgaleo. That also confirmed to him that this was the same Pikachu he knew and was friends with. "Please, Solgaleo. I need your help!"

Solgaleo heard her cries well. He would lower his head down, looking at Pikachu once more before the two of them looked at each other. With his heart filled with hope and joy, Pikachu nuzzled Solgaleo's face, showing the true reunion of friends. That was also confirmation that he was set to help them, causing Twilight to sigh with relief.

Solgaleo would then look up at the heavenly blue skies, letting out a powerful roar. A roar that would let Daybreaker and her entire empire know one thing. That Necrozma would not succeed, no matter what.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 563 End.
