My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Equestria. The Lucario Bastion. Afternoon.

After hearing Mega Lucario's story, Applejack and the others entered the temple as she remembered that she came here for Delta Lucario, who suddenly went all the way here. All thanks to that Cutie Mark.

"I'm coming, Lucario!" Applejack called out as she ran through the temple, her head swivelling from side to side, hoping to see any sign of her Delta.

"I don't see him anywhere..." Rarity was looking too. She knew how much Lucario meant to Applejack, especially since he was her first Pokemon. That's why she was ready to help Applejack find him, no matter what. The temple would not bother trying to stop Applejack by setting up any obstacles or traps, because she already proved herself worthy to them.

"Lucario! You here?!" Applejack called out. She was met with silence and her eyes started to water. "Come on! Where are ya?!"

"He must be around here somewhere...right?" Rarity asked Somnambula.

"Surely. I doubt the Lucarios would make an obstacle for him. They don't quite have the spirit to set up any obstacles for anyone anymore." Somnambula replied. "And since your friend over there has a Lucario, I guarantee that she can find her easily with Aura, correct"

Somnambula was right on the mark. Already, Applejack was using her Aura to track down Delta Lucario. She would then follow it, walking through the halls and corridors of the temple, leading Rarity and Somnambula to follow her. Eventually, the three girls would enter a large chamber where they saw many more Lucarios, including Delta Lucario.

"Ah! There ya are!" Applejack spotted her partner Pokemon as she ran over and hugged him. "Lucario!" She cried out, hugging him tightly. "Don't run off like that! I thought we were gonna have to spend days tryna find ya!"

"Sorry...I felt compelled to come here." Lucario replied, still being able to talk thanks to his Cutie Mark. "Probably because of my mark."

"Oh, that's okay. Just don't scare me like that, okay?" Applejack chuckled. "So, what were ya even doing here?"

"Well...there's something I think I can do here thanks to this mark of mine." Delta Lucario crouched, looking at the ground. "This place...not every Pokemon here came back. Just the Lucarios. There were so much more Pokemon living here that were never revived...and I want to make that happen."

"Bring back the Pokemon? Lucario. Ya know ya can't do that. Even if ya can harness the Aura, not even Somnambula can do that." Applejack said.

"That's the thing. I think I can." Delta Lucario stated.

"But how?" She asked.

"This Cutie Mark of mine...it didn't just grant me the power to properly speak like this, but I can also do this." Lucario placed his hand on the ground, suddenly phasing through it, stunning Applejack and the others.

"Lucario! What are you doing?!" Applejack panicked.

"Hold on! I have to see if I'm right!" Delta Lucario used his arm to bring his body down with it. He would then sink through the ground completely.

"Lucario?!" Applejack called out in panic.

Lucario was now somewhere else. Not just in the ground, but also a special space. It was a strange area of energy. It was like an ocean of Aura and within this ocean were souls. The souls of the Pokemon from the Lost Universe who were unable to be revived when the universe itself was revived.

There were many Pokemon here and all of them were still intact, with their memories. They were just lost and had no idea what happened to them. Many of them didn't even know what universe they were in, only remembering what Prisma did in their own Universe.

"I knew it..." Lucario gasped. "They're unable to come back like all the others since they're stuck here. But if I were to bring them up..." He held his hand out towards the ocean of souls. "...maybe I can get them out of here!"

He held his hand out, using his Aura to grab a hold of one of the Pokemon. A Boldore. His Aura pulled him forward as Lucario was able to take the Boldore's soul from the ocean of souls and bring him out of there.

Applejack and the others witnessed a soul emerge from the ground and into the temple, materializing right in front of them. A Boldore then appeared in front of them. He was still transparent, but he was very much alive and still had his memories.

"Whaaa..." Applejack couldn't believe her eyes as Somnambula looked at the Boldore, who was rather befuddled.

"Bol? Boldore?" Boldore uttered, looking around at the temple. "Boldore...?"

Once Lucario figured this out, he would get to work, aiming to free all the souls in here. He used his hands to pull out more Pokemon, such as a Beedrill, a Floatzel and an Espeon.

The other Lucarios saw this, watching the Pokemon being revived. Souls were flying out of the ground left and right, bringing the Pokemon back to this existence. They were amazed to see that Lucario could do this.

"Is he...?" Somnambula's eyes dilated as she witnessed the Pokemon being revived. "He's pulling out the souls of the Pokemon who weren't able to come back?! And reviving them?!"

"He is?!" Rarity and Applejack collectively shouted. Soon, the rate of how many souls were flying out would increase, soon reaching the hundreds and then the thousands. This would eventually lead to thousands.

The temple was slowly getting filled up with Pokemon as the souls would come out from the ground, materializing into Pokemon. And once all of the souls were out of the ground, Delta Lucario would come out himself.

Just like that, he brought back all the Pokemon that once lived here, restoring them to their natural selves. Granted, they were still transparent, a part of them being missing. However, all it took was Delta Lucario spreading his Aura across the temple, fully bringing them back to life.

"Ruuuu!" All of the Pokemon cried out, finally being alive once again. Some were in disbelief that they were back, especially the Lucarios. They thought it was all over for them, but now, they were revived.

"Way to go, Lucario!" Applejack jumped up and cheered. "Not sure how ya did it, but that was might fine!"

"Indeed! Excellent work!" Rarity cheered.

"A-Amazing! This is incredible! I never would've imagined this could happen!" Somnambula was shocked to see that all of these Pokemon were brought back, thanks to Delta Lucario. Mega Lucario was also shocked as it brought a smile to her face.

All the Pokemon gathered around Delta Lucario, showing their appreciation for him. He had saved them all and brought them back. It seemed that this Cutie Mark of his allowed him to bring back those from the Lost Universe. However, right before everyone's eyes, the Cutie Mark was starting to fade away.

"Ah! His Cutie Mark!" Rarity pointed out as the Cutie Mark was slowly vanishing. Lucario gasped at this wonder, preparing to speak about why this was happening. But the second he did so, his speech returned to normal.

"Lu?!" Delta Lucario lost his ability to speak at a higher level as his Cutie Mark finally vanished. Delta Lucario was back to how he usually was. He was now the only Pokemon in Equestria without a Cutie Mark outside of the Pokemon that have recently been brought back thanks to him. "Luca..."

"Why did it just vanish?!" Rarity exclaimed.

"It must've served its purpose." Somnambula spoke. "The original purpose of it was to allow him to communicate with humans and other species, so once he completed his goal, it went away. At least, that's what it looks like to me."

"Rrr..." Lucario looked at his paws and then touched his chest. "Lu...!" He was a little saddened to lose that power but was still glad to bring the Pokemon back. He felt fulfilled.

"Ah well. Ya don't need to speak like that to communicate with me, right?" Applejack said as Lucario smiled and nodded. "See? So let's go on back home."

"Rrr..." Lucario looked at his paws and then touched his chest. "Lu...!" He was a little saddened to lose that power but was still glad to bring the Pokemon back. He felt fulfilled.

"Ah well. Ya don't need to speak like that to communicate with me, right?" Applejack said as Lucario smiled and nodded. "See? So let's go on back home."

"Rrr." But Lucario wanted to stay behind a little bit longer. Being here reminded him of his life in the Holon Pyramid. It wasn't exactly that, but it felt close to it, bringing a somewhat nostalgic feeling to him. "Lu."

"Ya wanna stay for a bit longer? Alright. We'll stay." Applejack nodde. She looked towards the Lucarios and the revived Pokemon. "Mind if we stick around for a bit? I'm sure ya wouldn't mind."

"Boldore!" Boldore exclaimed, looking at all the Pokemon. "Boldore!"

"Espeon!" Espeon also cried out. All the revived Pokemon were excited to see each other. They gathered together, talking to one another, catching up after being apart from one another for so long. The Lucario Bastion was once again filled with life, making many of them happy. It was back to how it truly was.

"Looks like they don't mind. Let's stay here for a little bit, Rarity." Applejack said, getting a nod from her friend.

The Crystal Empire.

At the Crystal Empire, the cooks there were busy building a buffet that Abomasnow wishes to fulfil to Pinkie Pie. The buffet would consist of foods that are known to be from both Equestria and the various regions. All of which were freshly made by the cooks themselves. These past 4 years of being with the Pokemon has broadened their culinary skills to new heights.

"We really pulled out all the stops, didn't we?" Cooks said to each other as they set up the food.

"Well, if it's for Pinkie Pie, then anything goes." Another cook commented. "The Abomasnow will be greatly pleased with this."

"We are!" The King Abomasnow let out a bellow as he suddenly appeared behind them, startling the cooks. "This is will do well for the banquet we'll have at my Keep!" He cheered.

"Abomasnow..." Shining Armor sighed. "Don't go scaring us like that, alright?" He looked at the food. "Knowing how she is, Pinkie Pie will be over soon, so we should head over right away. All of you. Pack up the food and carry it there. We don't want it getting covered in snow."

"Right away, Captain!" The cooks saluted.

"To see her again would be nice. Yess...it would." King Abomasnow grinned as he followed behind the cooks, who were taking all the food to the keep.

Just minutes later and Pinkie Pie had arrived to the keep, guided by Flash Sentry. There, she laid her eyes upon the banquet that was presented for her. The buffet consisted of foods from both Equestria and the regions, something that made Pinkie Pie extremely excited. She let out a cheerful laugh before jumping onto the table and grabbing a hold of a hayburger, lifting into the air.

"All this for me?! You all shouldn't have! I would've set up my own banquet if you told me!" She happily said.

"That's exactly why we didn't..." Flash Sentry lightly chuckled.

"Pinkie Pie! What a joy to see you again!" King Abomasnow approached her, grabbing the earth pony's attention. "Do you by any chance remember me?"

"Of course! I remember you! You're that Abomasnow that helped me up the mountain!" Pinkie did indeed remember him without fail. "So glad to see you again! You can talk now?!"

"Bahaha! You can thank this mark on my back for that benefit!" Abomasnow turned around, showing off his Cutie Mark to Pinkie Pie. "I became my own King in a night and instantly wished to throw a banquet for you! I don't have much to do, honestly, so doing something for my friends was on the table. And to be honest, you were the first friend I ever made. So I wanted to show my appreciation!"

"Awww! Thank you!" Pinkie giggled.

"Now then, go on! Eat to your hearts content! I've been told you like to eat! So this is perfect for you!" King Abomasnow exclaimed. "I'd be happy to hear more about yourself, and I'm sure you'd want to hear about myself as well! That's why I wanted to set up a banquet! It's just felt right."

"Sure thing! But before I do so..." Pinkie Pie looked at the table, rubbing her hooves behind her as she winked at Mew. Mew winked back at her, knowing what was coming next.

"I want everyone here to join us!" Pinkie Pie proclaimed as the others looked at her. "It's a party! A banquet! You all should be joining in on the fun and food!"

"But that was just for you." Cadence said.

"And it is still. But I just want to make it bigger!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "I've thrown many parties, but the parties I've thrown with everyone was the best. And that's because everyone is involved and having a good time! So, I want this to be one of those! So, get a seat, get a plate and join in! I had Blissey bring some backup food!"

"Blissey!" Blissey could be seen entering the room with a huge bag of food. Even at a banquet meant for her, Pinkie felt the need to have everyone else get involved. She loved having a good time with friends, and now that she had Pokemon friends, she wanted to make it bigger.

The Crystal Empire was ablaze with fun as a celebration for Pinkie Pie and the Pokemon began. The entire Empire was celebrating and the Pokemon there were all gathered to attend the festivities. The Froskeep was filled with life, a sight that the King Abomasnow greatly appreciated.

Ponies and Pokemon were eating together and dancing together, enjoying themselves in the banquet. King Abomasnow was more than happy to see that his wish was granted by Pinkie Pie. He got to do what he wanted and now, everyone was having a good time.

Shining Armor and Cadance were sitting at a table together, watching all the Pokemon. They were amazed at the Pokemon and their interactions. Even if they were different from each other, they were still able to communicate and enjoy themselves.

Abomasnow would put his arms around the husband and wife, laughing proudly. "This is exactly what I wanted! To see everyone like this and being friends! I know the future of this place is looking bright! Especially with you two on the job!"

"You really think so?" Shining Armor asked.

"Of course! The Pokemon are all getting along and are enjoying themselves!" Pinke Ipie joined in, getting on Abomasnow's back. "I love moments like these! Thanks for this, Abomasnow and I'm glad I got to see you again!"

"My pleasure, my friend!" Abomasnow laughed once more. His heart felt wondrous getting to spend this moment with his first-ever friend. And because of this, his Cutie Mark was starting to vanish. Just like Lucario, what he wanted to do had been fulfilled, the mark having served its purpose.

"Aboma...?" Abomasnow looked at his back, noticing his Cutie Mark vanish. "Abomasnow. Snow."

"Hm? What happened to your speech, Abomasnow?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Snow," Abomasnow said as he looked at Pinkie Pie. "Abasnow..." He scratched his head. Despite this, he knows he can still have fun with everyone. Even if he is no longer capable of that level of speech, he was still Pinkie Pie's friend. "Abomasnow!"

"That's the spirit!" Pinkie cheered as the others joined her. "Let's get this party going!"

"Aboma!" Abomasnow agreed as he let out another laugh, joining the other Pokemon in the festivities. Thus, they parted all the day long until the Moon would rise.

Both Lucario and Abomasnow had their marks vanish. But even though they were markless, they felt fulfilled. Satisfied. At peace. There was nothing major left for them to do. They didn't wish to be rulers or anything, just living with those they love. Perhaps this is what the Antibodies were trying to create. However, there was one more Pokemon left with a Cutie Mark that allowed him greater speech levels and was far more rambunctious.

Infernape.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 621 End.
