My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Universe 28. Equestria. Canterlot. Canterlot Castle. Afternoon.

After solving the Manehattan issue by rounding them all up, Ash and Twilight would be forced to find a solution elsewhere since the Fountain of Youth didn't affect them, leaving them stuck as adults for now. However, they still wanted to try it out on everyone else, figuring that because they were connected to Prisma and Twilight Luminaria, it was different for them.

"It has to be because of that reason," Twilight said. "Maybe we can still get it to work on everyone else."

"I can try a spell that'll make the magic rain down." The young Celestia suggested. "That, I can easily do. After that, I'll try and see if I can come up with something."

"Alright..." Twilight sighed. "I guess we can reverse the effects on everyone first. Still, it's gonna be weird being like this for who knows how long. But, I think we'll manage."

That would be the approach. Celestia would head to the Main Universe, aiming to make the magic from the Fountain of Youth rain, de-ageing them. At least, they hoped that would work, otherwise they would have an even larger problem. It would be the young Celestia's first time appearing in the Main Universe.

Universe 1. Manehattan.

To pull it off, a vat of the magic from the Fountain of Youth was brought over. Ash and Twilight watched as the young Celestia would create a spell. She would hold her hoof out and close her eyes, a white glow illuminating her body. This white glow would expand, spreading and surrounding the Fountain of Youth vat. The magic would then float up and fly off into the sky.

The magic entered a cloud that floated right above. The white glow would turn pink and then into a light purple. It would swirl around, causing the clouds to change color. Eventually, the clouds would start glowing brightly, lighting up the blue skies. The clouds were illuminated by a bright and radiant light, one that could be seen from all across the world.

Eventually, a few moments later, the clouds would burst and release a large downpour of water, one that covered all of Manehattan, all across the world. It was raining magic. But of course, it was controlled, only targeting those that have been affected, such as the children.

The magic would pour down, making those that drank it revert to their true ages, as well as any Pokemon. All the ponies in the Shopping Centre were brought outside, having their bodies revert to what they used to be, bringing back their correct ages, though their clothes didn't change.

Ash and Twilight smiled, happy to see that this plan had worked. The children's eyes widened in shock, watching their bodies age and their minds becoming more clear. Eventually, they were back to their old selves, with the children groaning and the adults letting out sighs of relief.

"Awwww! No fair!" One kid exclaimed along with all the others. The fun was over, the spell was over, and everything was back to normal. The magic quickly moved across other clouds, travelling across the world to start a consistent downpour of Magic. This would take some time since a lot of areas have been affected.

But for the most part, it was all under control and a potential massive problem had been solved. Well, for the most part. Ash and Twilight still had to find a way back to their original ages. But while they aimed to do so, Universe 28's Celestia couldn't help but start admiring the area around her. It was different from her universe, and it was a world filled with many new things, new and beautiful sights.

She could feel the warm, soft ground beneath her hooves and she could smell the sweet scents in the air, a mixture of a fresh breeze and nature's aromas. The sights of the buildings, the atmosphere of the city and the vast land were enough to make her awe in wonder and amazement.

"Woah..." She said, walking around a bit. "This feels so different, but it doesn't look too different! How's that even possible?! The magic here is so special!"

"That's our Universe for you. It's gone through a lot to be like this." Twilight giggled, finding the younger Princess's amazement adorable and wholesome. "You should go visit more worlds with us, maybe. They're pretty fun and there are a lot to choose from. You can go through them whenever you want, no worries."

"That would be great!" She gasped, her eyes wide and full of stars. She looked like a foal who was in front of a candy shop. "I'd love to see other universes and see how different and amazing they are. I just know there's more out there."

"In the meantime, there's only one way we're getting back to normal. I say we find Dialga. That'll solve our problem with ease." Twilight said. "Of course, reaching him is always going to be difficult. It'll take some time until we find him, but we'll get to him regardless. But I can also see if there are some spells that could do the trick."

"But man, we're gonna be like this for a while." Ash looked at his hands.

"How come you guys get to stay as adults?!" One of the kids puffed her cheeks, finding it unfair that only the two of them could be the exception.

"S-Sorry, but it just doesn't work on us." Ash chuckled, scratching his head. "We promise we'll turn back. It's just gonna take a while."

"Well, you still look cool like that, Ash!" One of the colts said as many colts greatly agreed.

"Yeah, yeah. You look beautiful, Princess!" Meanwhile, the fillies collectively agreed and voiced their opinions, admiring her.

"Awww, you flatter me, you really do." Twilight chuckled, waving her hoof. She felt happy that she was getting praised. "Still, we'll see you later. Ash. We're heading to the library, right away."

"Ooh, ooh! Take me to your Ponyville!" Celestia happily bounced over to them both, wanting to see more of this world. She jumped up so high that Ash ended up catching her. In comparison to the little alicorn, Ash was a giant, the height difference between the two was huge. The princess was like a feather to the boy, being very light and easy to hold. Not even Scootaloo or the others felt this light. Ash noticed that his lifting strength had been increased as well.

"Sure thing, Celestia. C'mon, let's head on over. There's a lot to show ya." Ash smiled, happy to have her around. With that, the trio teleported back to their universe, leaving the group behind and returning back to the Library in Ponyville, their new home.

Ponyville.

Upon their return, the three would get busy. They'd start researching for spells and potions to get them back to their normal selves. While they did so, Celestia looked around the place, going outside to view this world's Ponyville and how it compared to hers. Her home was much more materialistic and all about her. That was all she's ever known, being the centre of attention and her nation.

The world that she lived in wasn't like this one at all. While they have their idols, they didn't worship or love them the same way that they did back in her universe. "Hmm...Pretty simple life here, but the town's just as nice as the one in my universe."

As the Princess observed her surroundings, her gaze would wander around the rather recent Pokemon-based buildings that have been built here. It's only been 4 years since these two worlds have met but so much progress has already been made. Some places now have Pokemon-related items to buy, furthering their business while also strengthening the bonds with their own Pokemon.

Even recently, after the whole debacle with the Dread League and more recently, the Solar Empire, Ponyville's profits have begun to return. Thus, new buildings were being already crafted, each Pokemon-related. Very soon, it would be 5 years since they've met each other. A 5-Year Anniversary.

Some of these buildings had the logo of their respective Pokemon, whether it was the symbol of the League or the Pokeballs themselves. As for the other buildings, she saw many Pokemon out and about, living alongside the ponies and coexisting with them. It was a sight to behold, but she was sure this wasn't the first time she'd seen something like this. Her world has ponies and Pokemon living with each other as well as humans, but there was something different about this place

"But. I kinda like it." She smiled, enjoying the serene peace and tranquility that this place had. In fact, she preferred this, rather than being the main focus of the place.

As she observed the town, she came across the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their usual shenanigans. She would approach the trio, seeing what they were up to since it caught her interest.

"I'm telling you...it felt like I was weightless in there." Apple Bloom spoke to her friends. "I couldn't move or anything, I could only hear stuff, ya'll. And the next thing I know, I wake up with this." In her hooves, she held an orb. An orb of a rather familiar energy. Fairy Matter.

"You have an Orb of Fairy Matter?!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

"How?! You just woke up today with this next to you?!" Sweetie Belle was in disbelief.

"Yup. Figured I'd keep it around. Doesn't look like it does anything like the other ones do. Not like this can even turn me into a Fairy, I tried using it but...doesn't do anything." Apple Bloom shrugged.

"Wow...Can I see?" Celestia approached the trio, grabbing their attention. They looked at her, gasping and looking at her. The trio collectively shouted in shock upon seeing Universe 28's Celestia.

"Eh...? P-Princess Celestia?" Sweetie Belle blinked, wondering if she was seeing things right. Her friends could see Celestia's face, which was a confirmation. "Wait, who are you?!"

"She looks a lot like the Princess." Scootaloo commented, squinting her eyes. "Are you...?"

"Mhm! You're looking at Princess of Celestia of Universe 28! It's nice to meet you!" She waved at them, introducing herself with a smile on her face. If she had her camera crew with her, she'd most definitely make her entrance a little more grand and majestic.

"Ehhh? Another Princess?" Apple Bloom raised an eyebrow, not entirely believing her. "You're uh...way smaller than the ones we've seen and heard about. You look like you're our age."

"That's because I'm the youngest Celestia out there!" Celestia beamed, happy to be meeting new faces and seeing new places. "At least, from what I know. So, what do you have there? Is that Fairy Matter I see?"

"Yup, but it's nothin' special. Here, I'll hand it over."

"Nonsense, you've had it. Don't you wanna try and do something with it?"

"I tried, but nothing ain't working with it, Princess." Apple Bloom continued. "Maybe I ain't doing it right..."

"Or perhaps you haven't been given the opportunity to use it in the way that you can." Celestia walked over, nudging Apple Bloom.

"I'm sure that if you try and do something with it, then I'm sure something interesting will happen. If I may." Celestia gently took the Fairy Orb and used her magic to float it, causing it to levitate in front of her. Her horn would shine, her eyes would narrow as she looked closely at the Fairy Matter within.

The other Crusaders watched the princess in awe, never seeing a magic show in action. As they were enamored by the display, the Orb was soon covered in a golden glow, and the Fairy Energy was pulled out of the Orb, making it disappear from the group. The energy was now visible, being a small pink cloud.

"Oh, my!" Scootaloo and her friends gasped, not expecting to see a move like that. Celestia smirked, holding her hoof out to the cloud of Fairy Matter. Her magic would surround the energy, manipulating it. Her magic would change its shape, and the Fairy Energy would start taking form, turning into a ball.

In no time, the energy was shaped into a pink Pokeball. But unlike any other Pokeball, this one had wings on the sides. "This will be good for a first try, wouldn't you say?"

"You made a Poke Ball?!" The three of them were in disbelief. Right before their eyes, Celestia crafted a Poke Ball out of Fairy Matter. A new one too. "W-What kind is it?"

"Hm-hm." Celestia proudly chuckled. "In my universe, my magic's strong enough to create a Pokeball. Where I come from, a lot of things are natural for me!"

"Ohooo! I wonder what we can do with this?! Sweetie Belle just had to figure out the possibilities of such an item, seeing how it could be used. "Can you make more, Princess?!"

"Pssh. Of course! All I need is something as a base." Celestia explained, the trio now fully interested in her. She had a lot to tell, especially the Crusaders. But she also had a lot she wanted to see here. "But in exchange, I wanna see all this world has to offer!"

"Deal!" Scootaloo held out her hoof, prompting Celestia do to the same. Their hooves clasped and shook, and they nodded their heads. After that, Celestia would get her chance to tour this world.

After searching, Ash and Twilight found nothing, the duo walking out into the streets of Ponyville. The sun was slowly starting to set. Twilight let out a tired sigh. "Well, I guess we're focusing on Dialga then. Let's see if any of the Pokemon will take us to him. Hopefully."

"Right..." Ash yawned. "We'll head out tomorrow. But man, it's gonna be weird being like this for a while. But it also could be cool now that I think about it. I already surprised Mom by showing up as a kid...what if I did it like this? My voice is way different too."

"Hm." Twilight smiled. "That would be amusing. "I wouldn't mind surprising my Mom a second time too. Plus, I actually kinda like this. Makes me feel extra mature."

"You weren't mature then?" Ash chuckled, prompting Twilight to nudge him. "Ack!"

"I was, smart guy. And I-" Before Twilight could finish, she came to a halt. Sensing something. "...Wait, hold on."

"Huh?"

"Someone's calling me. From the distance." She could feel it. Someone was calling out to her from afar. Ash looked in the distance, wondering who it could possibly be, but he couldn't see a soul in the distance or even hear anything. It seemed that only Twilight could sense this.

Her eyes narrowed as she could feel something resonating within her. It felt a lot like Twilight Luminaria's soul suddenly resonating. And as Twilight stayed still, her gaze turned to the vast horizon of the Ponyville, seeing the setting sun in the distance. Her ears were pointed upwards, and she could hear the callings coming from the faraway distance.

Far from Ponyville, but not far enough for Twilight to miss it, was none other than the Unilight Palace. It stood high and proud in the middle of a forest. Surrounding it were tall and beautiful towers that illuminated the night with a variety of colors. It was a castle filled with many secrets, and it was the home to that Sparkle.

"As I thought. She's nearby." The Sparkle could also sense Twilight from this distance, mainly focusing in on the soul of Twilight Luminaria. Soon, the Palace kept calling out to Twilight. The voice travelled great distances just to speak with her, wanting to reunite with a part of its owner. The palace began moving, heading in the direction of Ponyville moving across the land and leaving behind that Cutie Mark Trail once more when it got far enough.

The closer it got, the more Twilight's soul began to resonate as a sparkling light was seen approaching in the distance. Ash was quick to notice this light along with everyone else. Their eyes widened as they saw it.

The Unilight Palace.

Upon arriving, instead of landing in Ponyville, it would land in a spot near the town while still being visible due to its large size. It placed itself down on a field of green. And once it landed, its beauty shined across the late afternoon area.

"A palace?" A Ponyville Resident spoke up, gazing at it in shock, astonishment and confusion.

"Pretty!" A filly was mesmerized, staring up at the massive palace. "Wowie, it's so pretty and sparkly!"

"So pretty!" Other filly's were excited to see the beautiful Palace, their eyes shining with amazement and awe.

"What the-? Where'd that come from?!" Ash exclaimed, having never seen something so gigantic and elegant suddenly appear out of nowhere. "Is that what you were feeling, Twilight?!"

"The Unilight Palace..." Twilight spoke in an amazed whisper. She actually knew the name of this palace, but only because of the soul within her. Twilight Luminaria's Soul had an emotional attachment to this place. It was a strong part of her home and birthplace, due to her status as Queen. Twilight could feel it calling her, as if it had been searching for its owner.

The palace called out to her. Its owner's soul called out to her as the two souls were now beginning to resonate more than before. It was calling out for its reincarnation and owner. This was an important event for Twilight. She had to head over there and investigate.

The palace stood proudly in front of Twilight, washing her head with memories that went by a bit too fast. Even Ash couldn't help but marvel at the majesty and elegance of the building. Its presence was powerful enough that not even the Pokemon would be able to take their eyes off it.

And emerging out of it was none other than the only individual currently living there. The Sparkle. It flew out of the castle, flying up and landing on top of it, allowing her to get a better view. Twilight was immediately taken by the beauty of this individual, but also, she felt a sense of familiarity.

As the two stared at each other, Ash and Pikachu, the others would join them, the young Celestia being a bit awed and shocked by the palace and the individual on top of it. They all gazed up at the mysterious being.

Everyone had their own reactions, including the Princesses. The Sparkle, on the other hand, didn't take her eyes off of Twilight, the two gazing at each other. The Sparkle saw Twilight, instantly seeing the original owner's figure. Twilight at this age looked a lot like Twilight Luminaria, which instantly made it think this was actually her and not one of her reincarnations.

"Your Majesty! I've finally found you!" The Sparkle shouted out. "I've been searching for you, my queen!"

Twilight's jaw dropped as the Sparkle was referring to her. This caused everyone around her to look at her. The Sparkle quickly took note of the people standing behind her. "Who are you?"

"Hm? You don't recognize me? It's me, Your Majesty!" The Sparkle was confused, having assumed that she would be able to recognize it. However, when looking at Twilight Sparkle closely, the Sparkle realized that it wasn't actually Twilight Luminaria herself. It was just that Twilight at this age resembled her greatly, albeit with some missing features.

"Oh. My mistake. I thought you would be younger." The Sparkle commented, expecting a younger Twilight Sparkle. "R-Regardless. I at least found one of you already. A lucky day for me."

"Hold on, who even are you?" Twilight questioned, wanting to know.

"I see you don't know. I don't blame you so allow me to introduce myself. I am the Pixie known as Sparkle, The Sparkle of Her Majesty. Pleasure to meet one of her wonderful reincarnations."

"Pixie?" Twilight raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. We're beings made entirely of Fairy Matter. We are the embodiment of the power of the Elements of Harmony, specifically the element of magic. We were created for Her Majesty, Twilight Luminaria." The Sparkle explained, going further. "That is how it was in my Universe before it was lost. And now that the palace has awakened, so have I, ready to carry out Her Majesty's wishes at last. And I can start...by bringing you along."

This was but a servant to Twilight Luminaria. Her goal was to fulfil her wishes. And that wish was to ensure that Prisma would never return in whatever universe comes next. And speaking of which, it took the Sparkle a few seconds to realize who was standing right next to Twilight. Ash. Or in her hard-to-find eyes, Prisma, as the journey continues.

Chapter 592 End.
