My Little Pokémon: Grander World

The Ultalysium. Dynasty. Nightfall.

After being swallowed up by the Gateway Blackhole, Ash, his friends and residents of Mirados found themselves in a new universe. And in this universe, an entire Dynasty known as the Ultalysium Dynasty was found. A universe that has alicorns as the entire pony race.

For Ash and Brock, they were within a stadium of some sorts, seen as interesting creatures that have never been seen in this universe. But they were dubbed humanoids, just a few words away from their actual species.

"Ladies and gentlecolts of Ultalysium!" Announced the alicorn. "Today is the day that we will finally be able to see a new kind of event! With these new species! Strange humanoids from another universe!"

"Humanoids? You mean human?" said Ash.

"That's right, young human." She looked directly at Ash. "My name is Lady Magnestra. Announcer and loyal servant of the Emperor and Empress of this great world." Her name and the sound of her voice made the audience in the stands begin to roar even louder and clap in delight. She raised a hoof and waved in every direction as if she were acknowledging each of their applause.

"Emperor and Empress?" Brock gasped.

"An entire planet with nothing but Alicorns?" Ash said. "So cool!" His eyes lit up in awe immediately.

"That is right. Everypony, we have in store something truly unique for you today! An event unlike any other you've ever witnessed!"

"Another event?"

"And now, we present to you a challenge! Let us all enjoy a fight between our champion and the visitors that stand before me! That means both you, humans, must fight!" The Empress began to chuckle with an ominous undertone. Her horn then began to glow as a ball of light appeared behind her and soon, from within the ball emerged the figure of a Pokémon, an Arcanine to be precise. But not like Ash had never seen before.

This one was different, with green flames instead of the normal yellow and orange, and it had three tails instead of the usual one.

"What the?." He muttered before noticing its odd features. "What's up with that Arcanine...?" Ash's mouth dropped at the sight of it.

It gave an ominous stare before the alicorns in the stands clapped louder than ever, stomping in their seats to the rhythm of their applause. The sound of stomping hooves reverberated around them. Magnestra waved a hoof again to quiet everyone down, and the Pokémon took a few steps closer to the crowd to better show itself, with a green glow emanating from beneath its feet.

"Take on that Arcanine. I wish you all the luck in the world.!"

"So they want a Pokémon battle? Well I know how to handle those!" Ash said confidently.

The Arcanine roared fiercely, sending out bursts of green flames, making it clear that he would not be an easy opponent to beat.

"I don't know about this, Ash." Brock whispered.

Ash had already stepped up to face his challenger, only for Magnestra to raise her voice again. "Humans! Fight him off yourselves. With your own strength! This is an old ritual, one which was common when the Emperor was still a colt, many years ago." The audience in the stands went crazy.

"Fight with my strength? Me and Brock? I've never fought a Pokemon with our bare hands before!"

"And even if we did, that's ridiculous!" Brock added. "Well...Now that I think about it, you did try and punch Mewtwo, Ash. And you did tackle Lucario so maybe it's not so ridiculous to you now that I think about it."

"Fine then! I won't give up without a fight! And if it's like any other Pokemon, then I know what to do!" Ash was determined to get to the bottom of this and see what exactly the deal was with this place.

He got ready as Arcanine prepared itself for a battle. The flames under its paws burned more and more. Brock prepared to take the Arcanine's first hit as it was running at them.

Using Fire Fang, Arcane leapt into the air and came charging straight toward them with its powerful, large jaws, its sharp fangs covered in green flame.

Ash jumped to the side as the creature missed, missing him entirely before sliding on the ground, its eyes entirely locked onto Ash.

The Arcanine's eyes turned into a dark crimson, a darker and more intense colour, a colour Ash never seen in the Pokemon of the other Universe.

"Be careful! I've never seen such eyes before. Not on a Pokémon."

"Yeah but this one isn't like any of the ones I fought!"

Ash dodged again when Arcanine lunged forward. It roared again with an angry sound as its tail began to swing from side-to-side wildly, like the pendulum on a clock. Its head was low as if trying to aim. And there was something off-putting about it. Ash could feel it. As if it was planning to end his life. Or his friend's lives, which was something the Arcanine might want to avoid doing at any costs.

"Pi...Pika...!" Pikachu wished to jump in and help his friend more than anything right now. But as soon as he tried something, a magical force would hold him back from moving any further. He kept trying and trying to jump in and do what Ash asked, to try and fight back. But it wasn't any good.

"Arc...!" The Arcanine growled, slowly stalking closer and closer to them. Its paws were still emanating a strange energy and its eyes remained red and unblinking.

"Hey Brock, any suggestions?" Ash said to his older companion who shook his head. But just as Ash said this, the Arcanine shot forward and opened its mouth, trying to take a bite out of them both, one at the time, only for the two of them to dodge again.

"It won't be easy avoiding Arcanine for too long. Not with all the speed it has. And who knows what this type of Arcane is even capable of. I've never seen one like it before." But Brock wasn't 100% sure what to do. "But, my job as a Pokemon Doctor has let me treat a lot of Pokemon, looking into them some more. There's one way to stop an Arcanine without battling. A good pinch on the neck will put the canine Pokemon right to sleep. I just need to be in the right spot."

"Arca...Arcanine!" At that moment, Arcanine would use Flamethrower, but something was different about this Flamethrower. The flames were so powerful that as they streaked across the environment, they would alter reality itself. They left scorching marks of fire that would not extinguish. It wasn't easy to dodge, since the fire created an entire circle, almost trapping the trainers in the middle of the arena, only for them to run outside of the flames before a huge circle was completed.

As the fiery attacks continued, the air in the arena became unbearably hot, sweat pouring down the faces of the two humans, their chests heaving. It was only then did Ash notice that the green flames of this Pokemon were similar to the ones coming out of Magnestra's horn, indicating that this battle is more than just a show.

"What was that?!" Ash gasped, wiping the sweat off his brow. "I've never seen anything like it before!" He said as the heat became almost too intense to stand in.

But that was not all. Arcanine's fur would rustle as out of its body, more green fire would appear, in the shape of monstrous-looking creatures with sharp teeth. Acanine managed to summon its own Pokemon, all of which would look identical to itself but with slightly different markings.

"Did it clone itself?!" Ash exclaimed.

"It doesn't look like it! They appear to be different species!" Brock pointed out. "Just what is with this Arcanine?!"

"Wonderful, isn't it?" Magnestra said. "It's clar that Pokemon in your universe aren't exactly on the same wavelength as our own. What you see before you is an Arcanine at its peak. Because in our universe, Magic and Infinity Energy are overflowing to absolutely gigantic levels."

"What?! So you're saying that...!"

"That's correct." She chuckled, but her laughter quickly gave way to a cold expression. "The Pokemon of our world have adapted to this many eons ago. There's a reason we refer to them as Monarch Pokemon."

"Monarch Pokemon?" Ash and Brock repeated.

"Much like how we Alicorns are at the top of the world, the Pokemon have long since joined us in this zenith of power. Monarch Pokemon. They are able to channel incredible power, even the simplest Pokemon. And in this Arcanine's case, this one's able to draw the power of the sacred fires from its lineage, being descended from one of our world's Sacred Guardians, Groudon. It has the power of a Legendary. Just like every Pokemon here." Magnestra's horn started to grow brighter, a wicked grin on her face.

"A legendary? So every Pokemon is as strong as a Legendary?" Ash wondered, as the reality set in. "Man...That's so cool!"

"Smiling in the face of danger I see..." said Magnestra, confused.

"So you're telling me that this Arcanine's a Legendary? How do we compete with a Legendary Pokemon without our Pokemon?!" The two of them dodged yet another powerful attack, as if the battle never really stopped despite the conversation, the attacks continuing to pour down. Arcanine was clearly very angry.

"Try whatever you can! But it looks like you'll lose early!" Magnestra taunted.

"We're gonna have to find an opening to get on Arcanine's back. I'll make that opening for you, Brock." Ash narrowed his eyes. "You'll only have one shot to put this Pokemon to sleep." If they were going to win, it was gonna be hard to actually battle their way out of it.

"But how are you gonna pull it off?"

"If Sombra were still with me, he'd have some magic for it. But I have another way." And that was his Aura. Using it, he let it pulsate peacefully, letting it come to him naturally.

Ash relied on his Aura here, the beautiful azure light emanating from his body as a warm feeling began to envelop his mind. His concentration on that flame within his soul increased tenfold as he let the energy flow through his body once more, sending powerful surges up and down his arms and into the rest of him.

"Hm? My, look at all that Aura. It's so vibrant..." Magnestra's voice could be heard in his mind, but her voice was muffled, his vision faded except for what was immediately ahead of him. All he cared about at that point in time was the Arcanine.

As the two began their next phase of the battle, the Aura surrounding the boy began to intensify and solidify. The world fell away completely from his consciousness. All he could see was his goal: Arcanine, still standing with the two figures on its back. His focus tightened to the single, burning flame in his heart.

Once Arcanine approached him by using Extreme Speed, the Legendary Pokemon found itself being blocked by the flow of Aura. The aura strong enough to hold back the Monarch Pokemon, its power in the form of flames burning a bright blue that matched the power of its opponent, creating a strong clash.

"A-Arca?!"

"Impossible! He's holding Arcanine back?!" A member in the crowd gasped along with everyone else. "But he doesn't have a Pokemon to help him!"

"You ready, Brock?" He spoke calmly, his focus and determination clear. In that instant, the two shared a mutual understanding and a fierce will. The Arcanine unleashed an overpowering attack, but Ash stood unshaken, his aura deflecting it back.

"Now!" Ash yelled. "Brock!"

"Right!"

Brock knew his mission well; He leapt onto Arcanine alongside Ash, wasting no further time. Together they climbed its back to its neck, Ash keeping balance by placing a hand on its neck and another on the collar while Brock pinched a pressure point in its neck.

Suddenly, everything grew still, and Arcanine's once-fierce stance relaxed. It fell unconscious.

"Arca.." it mumbled as it fell to its side.

"They did it?!"

"It's...over?"

Ash landed on the ground safely, and so did Brock. "We won! That wasn't so bad!"

"Hahaha!" Magnestra could be heard chuckling, clearly amused by the whole situation. "Oh, how amusing indeed!"

"I've got to give credit to the both of you." Magnestra admitted, but she was clearly not upset that they had lost, but more surprised and intrigued. "Using such an unusual method of defeating Arcanine...How very strange indeed!"

"So, can we go now?! We don't have a clue whee we are or the rest of our friends!" Ash bellowed at Magnestra, wanting out of there immediately, only for Magnestra to wag her feather wings as if she had a finger.

"Hmmmmmmm. I don't like your tone." The Alicorn said as she waved a hoof. "You humans are far too interesting to let go so easily. We're just getting started. As for your friends, you need not worry about that. Eventually, they will reach new heights, ascending to the pinnacle of a pony. In fact, depending on how the process goes, you might be meeting them sooner or later." The way she said sounded intensely ominous. "For now, let's keep the show going. How about this Pokemon for your next challenge?" With a clap of her hooves, she summoned a second Pokemon, but it was hidden in the same kind of smoke.

This time, what stood before Ash and Brock was a Frosmoth. But of course, due to the overflowing amount of Infinity Energy within this world, Frosmoth took on an altered appearance from the regular Frosmoth, much like how Arcanine also had its appearance slightly altered.

Instead of being white and pale blue, this Frosmoth had a coat of snow-colored and icy blue fur. Her antennae were light shades of cyan, each ending with small and sharp crystals. She also had icy blue eyes with a pair of glowing green gem-like irises and her fluff on her body was filled with crystals of various colors, with large, jagged crystals jutting out from her back. They resembled a massive pair of crystalline wings, reflecting the light around it with a shimmering shine.

"This Frosmoth, also called 'Blizzard of the Ancient Frozen Peaks' has been known for causing some of the largest avalanches and hail storms in our world." The alicorn stated proudly, gesturing towards Frosmoth. Ash was unphased, though. "She has enough power to freeze a continent ten times over. Magnificently strong as you can imagine. Most rarely get past Arcanine, so how will you handle this one?"

"Frosssss!" Frosmoth unleashed a chilling cry towards them, prepared to swing into action. As far as Ash and Brock were concerned, they were stuck here until they could figure a way out or get past all these challengers

All the while, he wondered where his friends were. Especially Raleigh, who was another human. He hadn't been seen here as of yet, so it worried Ash as to what was happening to him.

"Nnnn..." Rarity groaned, her eyes slowly opening at last. Finally, she regained consciousness. As her eyes opened, she first saw the ceiling of the room she was in. It looked fancy. Was she in a castle? It seemed that she was on a soft mattress, a large four poster bed. A big comfortable cushion for a princess...which made it very suitable for the fashionista.

Rarity realized this, her face quickly blushing in embarrassment and panic. How did this happen to her? Her friends had been there before...and suddenly, she felt so woozy that her entire sense of reality became blurred to a halt. Her heart was thumping in her chest, the feeling of butterflies swirling about her stomach as if something had happened to make her this anxious. She quickly rose up from the bed and then noticed her body had been changed.

As soon as she sat on her haunches in a standing position, she noticed her long mane draped to the sides. Her eyes followed the flowing hair before noticing her hoofed legs, gasping again at the realization.

"What is all of this?!" She exclaimed, turning around to look at her tail. "Tail still smooth. Mane still fabulous. Everything's still gloriously intact, but...where am I? Where's everyone else?"

"She's awake at last." A voice spoke in this room, causing her to squeal. She had been staring at the ceiling so intently, she failed to realize the company of two. Her eyes finally settled to these two beings. They looked similar to her, at least one of the beings. However, she did see how they were much taller than her and a little wider. She had never met them, and she could tell from their appearance that they had the power to change her. She felt nervous at what they were capable of. Suddenly feeling like a newborn foal.

The first figure she could identify. It looked a lot like herself but was larger. A grown mare that shared the same coat as her own, a white pristine color. Her hair was a lovely lavender color, though more of a darker tone than Rarity's. However, it also looked majestic, its long hair swerving to one side. It curled in an elegant way, as if she was born royalty. A large white hat was adorned atop of the female's head, with purple and yellow stripes that made Rarity's heart flutter with glee.

"Oh, you all look so beautiful!" Rarity had to admire beauty when she saw it. "But, you're all...alicorns?!" The fashionista noted, looking around.

"Indeed. Welcome to the Ultalysium Dynasty. Worry not. Very soon, you'll be one of us." A voice said behind her, the mare she was just staring at, which surprised the poor fashionista.

"One of you...?"

"You're from another world, are you not? An entire universe entirely. Here, every single pony is an alicorn. A proof of our ascendance, all thanks to generations of improvement from our ancestors." The alicorn continued. "Such is the final state of all ponies. At least, here, it's the final state."

"...Everypony." Rarity had a moment of pause, processing what she had just heard. Out of all the worlds she's learned and heard of by far, this one seemed to be the most impressive. Even more impressive than Mirados's Future Technology. Mirados was impressive in the technological aspect but this seemed to be impressive in the magical aspect, targeting the ponies themselves.

"I am known as Glorious Dawn. It's my job and the job of many others to initiate the Alicorn Process." She said, smiling to Rarity kindly. She had a beautiful voice, one that Rarity enjoyed. "And this here," she pointed towards the male, a stallion, standing right next to the bed, who Rarity noticed, Hold steady and think of it as being in a doctor's office."

"Sweet Celestia! So are we supposed to be alicorns like the rest of you?"

"Well, you'll be a special alicorn, with unique traits and abilities that reflect you. But that will come with time, of course. Much like it has for many others. Although, there could be an alternative route that could happen by accident." Glorious Dawn uttered. "Sometimes, the process isn't perfect and the resulting pony will turn into something else."

"Something else such as....?" She didn't quite know what the alternative would entail, but her eyes slowly moved down, gazing upon herself once more. It felt as though her body was transforming into a new shape, something which would likely result in her changing.

"Well, you could turn into a Monster..." Glorious Dawn whispered softly, getting up from the bed and starting to trot around the room.

Rarity was puzzled and curious at what a monster would look like.

"You mean, a...monster? How?" She was in disbelief.

"I can't answer for you, but you could become some sort of monster if the Alicornization is botched. It may look different and could even be completely unlike anything you're familiar with. Some end up looking rather cute, like cute and cuddly dragons and such. Others might look a bit more feral, such as terrifying creatures of darkness and the void. Some could be hybrids. So there really is no way to be certain just how one would come out of this procedure, and how bad a failure would result..."

"And you're going to perform that on me without knowing?!"

"Not to worry. It's all about compatibility. A majority of the time, it's a success. We're still working out a few kinks but we've almost perfected it. If your magic is stable enough, it will go well. And after looking into your magic, you do have rather stable magic. So just sit tight and let it happen Brother."

Her brother nodded as his horn started glowing, having her body being lifted into a position that was sitting upright, levitating her into position, keeping her in the same place. The stallion made his way towards Rarity, taking the lead role of the operation.

"O-OH! Easy there, you don't need to hold me so firmly. I'll be fine, darling!" Rarity protested.

"I'm sorry. You need to be stable." The stallion replied, his expression and emotions completely hidden away. Rarity turned and looked to Glorious Dawn for a hint of sympathy, only to see her cold eyes as well, not a hint of sympathy to be seen anywhere.

"Wait! If yu're going to do it..let me have my preference!" Rarity wailed, halting the process as it took the brother and sister duo back.

"Preference?"

"Becoming a monster is a worry but...I want to be a truly glorious alicorn!" To their shock, Rarity actually thought about it and naturally had her preferences on how she wanted to look as an alicorn.

"I need a gorgeous, elongated, glittery horn! I need long luscious hair that sparkles like diamonds in the morning light. I want a glittery golden, glowing yellow mane. But not too glittering. It should glitter enough for anypony to see from afar that there is some sort of shine." Rarity began, describing exactly the way she desired. The two alicorns exchanged looks before nodding as they understood what was requested of them. She continued to list her desires. "Wings! Oh my giddy goodness, I need to have beautiful, strong and sturdy, and majestic wings! Beautiful feathers. Not too heavy, I can't look too heavy, no matter what! The colors must go along nicely together, all of it! My coat must shine and look like I was covered in freshly fallen snow. Not a single dirty mark to be found."

The two siblings froze in place, as if not really expecting such an extensive amount of details to take into consideration. Usually, there's a lot of bargaining and resistance in here.

"Oh and don't forget the crown. I need to have a beautiful, shimmering tiara made from pure silver that sparkles and glimmers like a crystal in sunlight! And a dress to match, yes! I'll get one that'll go perfectly. Oh wait!" Rarity stopped and held a look of thoughtfulness as her mind raced through a series of different thoughts. It wasn't long before her eyes widened as she realized what was on the list. "My shoes, can't forget them! I want beautiful heels that accentuate and flatter each of my hooves and sparkle like gems. The cutest ones ever!"

The two stared in shock, Glorious Dawn in particular had a surprised look. It was quite clear that neither of these ponies were used to receiving any such request from the otherworlders.

"Oh oh! Don't forget the magic. My magic. My horn. Oh, it must be powerful, more than anything ever. Powerful and glittery and the sparkliest of all!" She rambled on. "I'm a powerful and gorgeous alicorn. I will shine like a diamond. No other alicorns in any other universes can shine brighter. I want a unique set of magic spells, never before seen. Only I would know them, and nopony could possibly comprehend what I was doing unless I tell them! I want all my dreams and my desires fulfilled!"

"That..." Glorious Dawn squinted her eyes before shaking her head. "Technically, we can do that. We are transferring magic and transforming pre-existing magic at the same time. But that's beside the point-"

"Ah, fabulous! So you can pull it off! Oh, but do not make me taller than Princess Celestia! I want to be tall but that would be a disrespect to the crown." Rarity said with delight and a smile. Alas, she was not done. Rarity had a lot more ideas in mind.

A lot more.

On the other side of this building, Fluttershy found herself in the same predicament as her friends, placed on a similar bed to the rest. However, there were no pillows to provide comfort. Her attention was instead drawn to the unfamiliar faces around her. Two Alicorns, a tall and slim mare, towering above her, and a large colt with a muscular body, were present, standing side by side.

The two were different from each other, but they looked to be twins and their personalities were just as similar. Both had the same long manes, long tails, and even their faces were just about the same. Their only differences seemed to be their size and sex. They looked like fraternal twins rather than identical twins. The stallion looked very large with an equally large and fluffy mane that was neatly tied back in a ponytail. He also had an under-mane of stubbles that could hardly be seen thanks to his thick, fluffy and long maine and tail fur.

However, much like Rarity, a part of Fluttershy wanted to be an alicorn as she started speaking about all the things she wanted to be as an alicorn.

"Well, I'd like my mane to be a bit different than normal alicorns." Fluttershy stated with a smile on her face, her soft and gentle demeanor shining through. "And my tail too. But maybe put some decorations around it if possible. I have an Alicorn Counterpart in another universe and I don't want to make her feel bad for having the same appearance. Oh I know, make the color the same and have the mane and tail look the exact same. Also, make my eyes nice and lovely. Make them big and wide like a cat. And the eyelashes, they need to be big and noticeable."

Fluttershy was feeling like this was a makeover rather than an actual surgery to become an Alicorn. "Also, if it's not a problem, give me a set of fangs like a Vampire Bat, please. Not too noticeable though." Fluttershy added to her already extensive list. The two were speechless. The large mare turned and gave the other a questioning expression, and the stallion seemed equally lost, as if the request to add Vampire fangs had crossed some kind of boundary. "Can we add those? I think they'll be pretty, they'd match a cute vampire like me. Don't you two have anything to make my dream come true?"

"...That's it? That simple? It's so...normal." The mare grimaced at these requests. She could hear Rarity rambling in the other room and her requests were insanely overdesigned and complicated.

"Normal may be basic, but sometimes simple is best." Fluttershy smiled softly. "Ah. But now that you mentioned it earlier, I wouldn't mind becoming a monster. I've been a Pokemon a few times before, even a Vampire, but being a monster? It'd be so wonderful. Then again, Pokemon are monsters, but this will be different. If I do end up as one, I'd want it to be cute. Make my skin red, make my mane and tail yellow, add red dragon horns on top of my head. Oh! And claws for fingers and feet. Can my tongue be very long as well? Long and thin, just like a serpent. Also, wings would be nice too." The two could see Fluttershy's desire in this request, but it still felt underwhelming compared to what others had requested.

The mare frowned slightly and nodded. "Oh. And make me tall, taller than normal, but not as tall as Princess Celestia. That'd be rude" Like Rarity, she showed respect for Celestia.

Pinkie Pie was the same and much like Rarity, she was the most talkative in the room. Unlike her other two friends, Pinkie Pie was with three ponies. The two in question were all females of different heights. And by far, Pinkie Pie had the most outrageous requests for her Alicorn state. And that was saying something given her history of ridiculous ideas. The trio who was working with her found her requests to be a mixture of insanity and a very odd sort of creativity. They didn't even know where to begin with what she wanted, her request list had been growing steadily over time.

"So let's see, I was going on and on about stuff I wanted earlier so we can skip that bit, but anyway..." she said to the alicorns around her. Pinkie Pie continued, "I think I would want my mane and tail to be multicolor, with pink at the ends but also with some nice colors. Then give my tail the cutest tufts, make it fluff and curly, the sort you want to hug forever. Give it a lovely shape that would just be adorable! Put it at the base of my tail and have a cute design, maybe like the cutie mark on it! I'll be called a Fluffy Cutie!" She paused before turning back and smiling. "Do I look like the right alicorn to deserve that name?"

"All this talking..." One alicorn groaned

"But then, my magic. I need it to be flashy and fabulous! Make my aura have pink and blue, yellow, green, orange and red. With gold and silver, and make it glow with every spell that I do, it's gotta be the most amazing that you can. Also, oh my goodness! I need to be tall, but not as tall as Princess Celestia, but big enough that I could have some amazing presence." Pinkie Pie gave a firm nod, seemingly proud of her description of how she wants to be.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's add more!" Pinkie Pie giggled. "I'd like to add another thing! Make my hair have the fluffiness of the perfect cotton candy cloud. Soft and sweet like the softest of treats. And make it the kind that everpony will love! So much so that they'd wanna eat it! I'd wanna eat it! Mew would totally eat it! I wanna have a nice long mane, but keep the pink. Oh, also make it so I can switch back to my earth pony state but I wanna be able to do the transformation on command. Just like my best buddy, Mew!"

"Urgh...I can't focus my magic with all this talking!" Funnily enough, because she was talking so much and her voice was so potent, it was actually interferring with the spell of a nearby Unicorn who was helping her with her process.

"But wait there's more!" The Unicorn who was using magic had to stop their work. It was impossible to work on an alicorn form for Pinkie Pie, since she was so excited and they needed her to stop bouncing and be still.

Rainbow Dash was no different. She wanted her Alicorn Form to be as awesome as possible, much more than her friends. And as the fastest pegasus ever, she felt no guilt asking them to grant her a wish of hers. She felt like her wishes weren't as crazy and out there as the others, but to the pony who was in the room with her, her demands seemed a little strange.

"I don't mind if you give me extra long horns and wings,or whatever, that's good but the most important thing that you can do is make me fast. Really fast! Make my mane and my wings extra big. Make my feathers super sharp, the kind that can go super speed! Like a Corvinknight or a Skarmory! Give me strong hooves, not too bulky or anything. Strong enough to lift me up into...space! Yeah, space! Also, if my wings aren't too big, make sure my legs and arms are muscular, with a nice bit of muscle on my stomach and back hooves." The Unicorn could handle a few simple requests but what he heard had made him confused.

"Are you saying you want muscular thighs?" He asked her, making Rainbow Dash turn around with a slight frown and her cheeks going red in a slight embarrassment.

But the only one who actually wanted out and didn't even think about what her Alicorn form would look like was Applejack. She kept writhing, trying to break free and get back to her life.

"Let me outta here!" Applejack bellowed. Applejack had to stay still and not move around or resist the procedure, or else the result would turn into a complete failure.

"Hey! Calm down! If you keep moving around like that, it's gonna screw everything up!" the Unicorn warned as Applejack thrashed her hooves about, still angry that she had no choice in her own future. But even so, the pony continued her work with some struggle, being very cautious and very careful not to make any mistakes.

As for Twilight, she was already an alicorn, she was exempt, simply being given the benefits of this Alicorn Society. However, her reaction to knowing that her friends were about to be turned into alicorns was appropriate.

"I won't allow it!" Twilight shouted, at the other alicorns around this table. "You can't just do that to them!" The alicorns around her rolled their eyes.

"Really now? Something so wonderful and you wouldn't allow your friends to go through it?"

"No way!" Twilight said. "I just want to head home with my friends! We already had to go through a lot in one universe and I'm not willing to see them go through another major problem in another universe so soon! Not only that, but Ash and Brock aren't my pets! They're my friends!"

"Pets can be friends." One royal alicorn shrugged.

"Not how you see it!"

"Stubborn little girl." The more stoic alicorn sighed.

"You don't know what you're missing. Your friends will soon be part of something bigger. A world where there are no such things as limitations. The possibilities will be endless." A third said. Twilight Sparkle shook her head. She had to stop them somehow, and maybe she could.

"But since you're being so resistant, you'll ruin things. We cannot allow that. Your role in Utalysium has yet to be decided, so we will go through that process. But to do so, you must be restrained. Guards." Another alicorn called for the guards and soon enough, some alicorns came to take her away.

"As if I'll let it happen!" Twilight shouted, trying to resist. However, the alicorns managed to restrain her with their combined magic, surrounding Twilight Sparkle. The Princess of Friendship growled, feeling a magic pressure unlike any other, and soon enough, Twilight was completely restrained, unable to do anything else but be carried away.

"Take her to the All-Seeing. She will know the role for this one." One alicorn said, pointing towards Twilight Sparkle. She widened her eyes at this.
