My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Unilight. The Star Trials. The Overclock Space. Afternoon.

Ash and the others had managed to break out of the Void of Endless thoughts, all thanks to Ash, Red, Celestia and Passion burning through the darkness. And of course, the assistance of Sir Aaron thanks to his staff.

Seeing the staff in his hands, he gave Sir Aaron his thanks for lending him his strength and proceeded to return the staff to its miniature size as Aura flamed out from his hands and his body.

Celestia, who removed her crown to let her mane flow through, would spread her wings, feeling her body being refreshed. Passion would stretch her arms as a shining light radiated from her.

And Red? Well, he just remained silent as he threw off his hat and let loose the inner flame inside.

"Hey, Ash! Have one of my Pokemon help out!" Hilbert suggested Ash send out of one of his Pokemon this time. Ash nodded, deciding to do so. The spirit of Hilbert grinned, eager to see his Pokemon in action even if he was just a spirit now. "Zoroark! I choose you!"

"Zoroark!" Zoroark cried as he entered the battle, coming in next to Red.

"..." Red threw a Poke Ball out, summoning his Snorlax, who stood next to Zoroark and Gardevoir.

"Snorlax!"

"M-Meta...!" Metagross shook its body, just now recovering from that light. But Ash wasn't gonna wait.

"Zoroark! Use Night Slash!"

"Passion, use Thunderbolt!"

"Zoro...!" Zoroark's claws would darken with energy while Passion would ascend into the air. Red pointed forward, having Snorlax go for an Ice Punch as well.

"SNORLAX!"

"METAGROSS!" Metagross yelled as it summoned two clones to assist it, the real one was going to use a meteor smash on Ash as it flew high up to prepare an aerial assault while the first one went for a Meteor Mash attack on Zoroark and the second went for an Earthquake on Passion and Snorlax, specifically on the princess since it was the biggest danger.

"Lax!" Snorlax would unleash his Ice Punch, hitting Metagross' first clone from afar with just the chilling aura of the Ice Punch and sending a massive Hyper Beam at it. But the Meteor Mash made impact with a devastating amount of damage.

"Zoroark!" Zoroark, with its agility and its reflexes, was able to dodge the quake that came its way, jumping out of the way of the Metagross before rushing in for an attack. Its claws would shine as it leaped up. Zoroark was aiming to strike Metagross while in the air.

But then, a third and fourth Clone came out from Metagross and flew up to the sky and both were to perform Meteor Mash on Zoroark, knocking it out and slamming him to the ground, cancelling its Night Slash move. "ZOROARK!" It cried and laid down, struggling to get back up and resume fighting. It was getting up slowly, feeling very weakened by this attack. But it wasn't out.

Meanwhile, the real Metagross would aim its Meteor Smash at Ash Ketchum instead as it fell at blazing speed!

"Pika!" Getting its way was Pikachu, who used Quick Attack to intercept it, but due to the Steel and Psychic energy protecting it, Pikachu would get hurt. But it did slow Metagross' descent down and made it unable to go any higher.

Ash realized he had the advantage, not slowing down for a moment.

"Zoro!"

It didn't take a second as the Dark-Type Pokemon jumped to Ash and allowed him to climb on it as a form of transport, and they both ascended at Metagross with a roar before having Zoroark do an upwards Night Daze attack at Metagross. A huge, circular explosion of energy occurred.

But it didn't last long for Metagross was already able to create three clones of itself and send the last two clones with an earthquake attack, both targeting Passion.

"Plasma Bolt!"

"Garde...!" Passion held both her arms out, combining Mystical Fire and Thunderbolt, making the two energies swirl in a helix formation, creating a large beam that struck down the two clones before the earthquake hit, cancelling the Earthquakes entirely and sending an enormous surge of power that overwhelmed Metagross' defenses and the others as well, causing damage to it, its four clones and to the stadium, causing the entire place to shake. It caused the whole audience to stand in surprise and fear, some of them falling down to their seats as the entire city of Unilight would also feel this quake even though it happened in an entirely different dimension.

"T-This isn't supposed to be happening?!" A confused and angered Twilight Luminaria would say, unsure of what was going on and how things had gotten to this state in the battle, in a single instant.

"G-Gross...!" Metagross was starting to feel overwhelmed. It felt a tremendous amount of energy that it couldn't possibly keep up. It didn't think their energy would be that much, especially since they were just a few minutes ago in a near-defeat situation.

Knowing defeat was not an option to Twilight Luminaria and Professor Grogar, it would use its claws to manipulate space-time and teleport many more times, and more rapidly in order to avoid any further attacks.

But all that did was prompt Passion to manipulate space-time as well. "Meta?!"

"Voir." Passion smirked, knowing she had hit a checkmate against Metagross. She's already proven that her Psychic prowess was as good as its own. And after she smirked, along came Zoroark with another Night Slash, leaping off Snorlax's stomach.

"Laaaaa..." As the attack connected, Snorlax would fire another Hyper Beam to follow up with the combo. The first one was a Night Slash. Now it was Hyper Beam, a powerful beam of normal energy.

Metagross would try and block this with a massive shield to defend himself from Zoroark and Snorlax's, only for it to fail. But the attack was a direct hit, pushing through and sending it through many walls, and crashing through them before hitting another and causing the wall and debris to fall all around Metagross.

"Metagross..." Metagross groaned after fainting from its injuries, laying down in defeat. With this defeat came the end of its Monstrification, much to everyone's surprise. They believed that using a spell or even the Divine Light from the Arceus Pendant would do the trick, but it seemed that a good old fashioned Pokemon battle was enough to end it. Of course, it required a powerful enough hit.

"And that's game." Ash smiled as Zoroark stood proudly on top of its fallen foe, looking to the others who did the same.

"T-They reversed my magic like that?! How?!" Professor Grogar couldn't understand it. "That's not how it's supposed to work!" Grogar shouted, trying to wrap his head around it. He was expecting them to lose and give up, but it was all for naught.

"It isn't over yet...They still have the rest of the area to overcome!" Twilight Luminaria was right about that.

Metagross was a major obstacle but there were other obstacles in the Overclock Space that could be a problem. Ways to mess with their mind. After Metagross's defeat, Digital constructs resembling humanoid beings would manifest from the ground, instantly advancing towards Ash and the others.

But they were soon intercepted by none other than Nate's Samurott, who would slash at them at high speeds. Nate and the others had finally recovered, their heads still feeling rather woozy after that experience.

"Ugh...Sorry we took a while to recover." Nate held his head, shaking it as his Samurott did another slash to destroy another Digital Being.

Following up was Ethan's Donphan, who crashed into a Digital Being by using Rollout. "Yeah! It's not fun being trapped in a place like that." Ethan was still in pain, holding his head.

"We're ready to give these people a taste of their own medicine..." Brendan declared. He would send out his Aggron, throwing the Poke Ball high up so that Aggron would land directly on a Digital Being, destroying it with Earthquake.

Promptly the recovered Trainers would get their payback right away. Multiple Digital Beings emerged, attempting to attack their minds by sending Digital Shards of the past towards the Trainers' brains. Their intent was to render them incapacitated and vulnerable, and then take them away.

However, none of the attacks would reach their target. Instead, they would vanish before the Trainers' eyes, thanks to the protective shield formed by Celestia. After the shield protected them, flying through the shield at high speeds was Lucas's Staraptor.

"Star!" Staraptor cawed, using Aerial Ace to advance. Before the Digital Beings knew it, Staraptor slashed past them, leaving a series of gashes across their digital bodies, effectively deleting them.

But it wouldn't take long before they regenerated, only for Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, shocking them before they could fully regenerate. With their bodies being stunned, it left them vulnerable to a huge attack. And indeed, a huge attack did come.

"Water Pledge!" Nate cried out.

"Rott! Samu...Rott!" Samurott smashed his legs into the ground, summoning huge pillars of water. Each of these pillars would travel towards the digital constructs, destroying all of them and making them incapable of regeneration. Soon, they were defeated, unable to get any hits in whatsoever.

The crowd was in shambles by how quickly things had turned around. Just when they thought victory was theirs, Ash and the others completely rip it away from them and make it theirs instead.

Twilight Luminaria clenched her teeth, her front hooves trembling. The Professor could see her anger starting to slowly show itself. "Kh..." She snarled at this, trying to keep her composure. Ash and the others immediately advanced, rushing towards the summit.

Just then, one of the guards ran over to Twilight Luminaria, coming to a screeching halt. "Your Majesty!"

"WHAT?!" She raised her voice to an extreme level, startling the guard as he would reel back in fear.

"I-It's important...It's one of your reincarnations. She's been spotted..." The guard stuttered, referring to Twilight Moonlight.

"Hah..." Twilight Luminaria took a deep breath, calming herself down. "Alright. Show me where." Her voice was now much calmer. She knew she had to compose herself and couldn't let these outcomes get to her, no matter how unbelievable they were. The guard nodded, ready to show her the way. "Grogar. I'm leaving the rest to you."

"Your Majesty?" Grogar uttered.

"Oversee the Star Trials from here until I return. It shouldn't be too hard." She requested of Grogar before following the guard away. "And don't fail me." And she was gone, the Professor looking on as she went off to see this reincarnation. His focus was now entirely on Ash, the others and their Pokemon. He wanted to make sure they were defeated and that this would not be the end.

Speaking of Twilight Luminaria, her disguise didn't manage to last. Not with the Psychic-Type Pokemon that were also guards figuring her out. Thus, she went to next option. Force her way through. Moonlight had sent out her Hisuian Samurott and Lilligant against the guards that would appear before her, having the two Hisuian Variants charge through every opponent they saw. "Get them!" She ordered, pointing forward.

"Samurott!"

"Lilli! Gant!" Her two Pokemon were on a rampage, taking down any guards in sight.

"Use Dazzling Gleam, Espeon!" One of the guards would send out her Pokemon, who used Dazzling Gleam on Hisuian Samurott, sending it crashing into a wall with a barrage of rainbows. It was strong enough to break through the walls, making a massive hole hole where Samurott crashed. It wouldn't take long before a barrier would seal it off, protecting it from any outside interference.

"Rott! Samu!" Hisuian Samurott would leap up and use Ceaseless Edge, slashing through the air and sending crescent blades of energy towards Espeon. The blades were sharp enough to slice through the Dazzling Gleam.

"Ee..." Espeon cried as the blades cut through the air.

Lilligant would use Petal Dance, twirling in the air before unleashing a multitude of petals towards the guards, making it hard to see or even stay in the area. The guards were overwhelmed, not even being able to see what was going on. But they were being knocked down with the force of a hundred razors.

Twilight Moonlight ran, heading towards the center of the building she was in. She was still a ways away from the stadium due to how massive this city was.

"Vire!" Appearing from the corner was an Electivire, here to stop her at once. Twilight Moonlight gasped as Electivire went in for a Thunder Punch the second it appeared. "Electi...!"

"Rott!" Samurott blocked the punch with both his scmitars, feeling the electrifying impact of the punch.

"Vire!" Electivire used Thunder Punch again, slamming it against Samurott's blades. Both Pokemon were pushing back and forth, attempting to gain the upper hand.

"Lilligant! Use Close Combat!"

"Lilli!" Assisting her teammate, Lilligant leapt into the air with splendid grace and unleashed a series of devastating kicks against Electivire, knocking the Pokemon back with the sheer force.

"VIRE!" Electivire groaned, feeling the kicks hit him in the back, his eyes were wide. He then went in for a Wild Charge, rushing towards Lilligant at full speed, only for the Spinning Pokemon to slide out of the way, leading him straight towards Samurott's Ceaseless Edge. "Elec?!"

"Samu!" Samurott would slash past Electivire, causing the Electric-Type to feel an intense amount of pain. It was strong enough to knock him out. Electivire was unable to move, and was rendered unconscious. The guard who owned the Electivire would return him, running away with the rest.

Moonlight was free to advance, her two Pokemon right behind her. She had a clear path to the stadium. The city was vast but she managed to find a few shortcuts. She could see the stadium from the distance and was running on a pathway that was floating in the air, allowing her to bypass the many buildings in the city. She could hear the sounds of battle from afar. It sounded intense.

"Good work! Now hurry!" She picked up the pace, going faster and faster. Her Pokemon were close behind, keeping up with her. They were determined to get to where she wanted, and to stop the trials by any means necessary. They were getting closer.

But their path would be blocked by two Pokemon. Tsareena and Altaria respectively.

"Tsareena!"

"Alta!" Both Pokemon stood in their way, Tsareena with her arms crossed and Altaria with an imposing stance. The Humming Pokemon's eyes were closed, not wanting to make eye contact with Twilight Moonlight.

"Oh, come on...!" Twilight Moonlight would stop in her tracks, annoyed by these interference. She and her Pokemon glared at the opposing Pokemon, all of them staring at each other in silence, waiting for one of them to make the first move.

"Wait." But the clash between them did not come. Not with who had arrived at the scene. They all gasped, turning their heads to see none other than Twilight Luminaria herself. The Alicorn Princess of Unilight. She descended, meeting face-to-face with her reincarnation. "This one is mine." She took a few steps forward, standing tall in front of her past self.

"You...You've fully taken over Twilight, haven't you?" Twilight Moonlight questioned.

"Twilight Sparkle would've been the hardest to awaken within, but I have the Professor to thank for making it easy for me. If not her, then I would've awakened within you instead." Twilight Luminaria would chuckle, not even bothering to deny it.

"As if I would ever let that happen." Twilight Moonlight narrowed her eyes.

"Hm. You would think you'd be immune to it. Whatever. Right now, I'm not in the best mood. And the fact that you showed yourself here isn't doing you any favours. You betrayed the Arcane Institute and the Professor has yet to know about it. To be honest, I should've told him myself when I had the chance, but perhaps showing him will do."

"Get out of Twilight Sparkle's body at once! The universe has no place for you or your nation!" Twilight Luminaria pointed her hoof at Twilight Luminaria. "Your universe had its time and chance! Lots and lots of chances! It's time for you to finally fade away and accept it."

"What a foolish thing to say. Do you honestly think I'll just give it all up?!" She raised her voice. "My subjects and I finally have a chance to live once more! The Lost Universe is returning! I won't let anyone take that away!" She yelled. "I won't let you, Ash Ketchum or Prisma ruin this!"

"Ngh!" The force of her voice was like a tornado, sending shockwaves in Twilight Luminaria's direction. But she managed to stand strong, closing her eyes before reopening them. "Even though we aren't suppossed to exist? The both of us?"

"?!" That caught Twilight Luminaria off guard.

"I know you know the truth. Our existence. Our very lives and how they managed to manifest is all because of Ash Ketchum. Because of the fact that he made that wish to all those Jirachi. Your universe may appear to have been the first of them all and this one followed suit, but in reality, Ash Ketchum and Twilight Sparkle's respective worlds were always here first. If anything, we are the reincarnations in a sense. We are the ones who shouldn't be here." She explained. "So if we don't exist...if you don't exist, if we aren't meant to exist, then what are you? What is this nation?"

"..." Twilight Luminaria didn't say a word, only staring at her counterpart.

"Hm. Can't answe that?" Twilight Moonlight smirked. "We only exist because of him. Because of that wish he made." The others were silent, not having any idea what to say. "Who are we to try and destroy him?"

"..." Twilight Luminaria's eyes went to the floor, unable to look at her. Her lips trembled as she tried to form her words, the anger building inside her. "No...!" Her voice cracked as her body would crackle magical energy. "Silence!" She shouted.

"Our lives are meaningless, aren't they?" She egged her on more, forcibly getting her riled up.

"Shut up!" Twilight Luminaria was now roaring at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing across the mega city, the whole area trembling. "And what about you?! Are you just fine with that?!"

"I wasn't at first. It surprised me. It shook my entire world. I existed to destroy the one who brought me to life. But, Twilight Sparkle was the one who helped me. She's the one who helped me see things differently and end my burning desire to destroy Ash and his counterparts. Because of her, I can live with my existence." Twilight Moonlight would say.

"..." Twilight Luminaria was silent for a moment.

"But you. What do you have?"

The question caught the princess completely off guard. Her heart nearly stopped. She looked to her right, her gaze landing on Tsareena and Altaria. "I have my nation. Now that we're back, we get to live on. But without Prisma."

"Oh, yeah sure. All your problems will be solved once Prisma is done with. But do you really think that's what's gonna happen? You underestimate Twilight Sparkle. If she ever finds out, do you think you'll live peacefully? I'll be honest with you. I'm more terrified of her than I am of you."

"Silence!" Twilight Luminaria heard enough from Twilight Moonlight as her eyes would flash. Then in a split-second, a powerful outburst of magic would erupt from her body in a wide radius. Twilight Moonlight gasped, swiftly putting up a shield as the entire room was enveloped in Twilight Luminaria's massive magical aura.

"Gyaaah!" Twilight Moonlight was sent back, being pushed by the sheer force of Twilight Luminaria's aura. The entire building was obliterated in a matter of seconds. The ground was shaking and the debris from the destroyed building would fall onto the ground. It was massive, so big that it was like a massive mountain falling from the sky.

"Wha...What's going on?!" One of the ponies from the city cried out in horror. The people of the city were panicking, seeing a massive pile of rubble falling from the skies.

"Run away!" Another one of the ponies yelled to everyone, running for their lives as they tried to escape the rubble and the destruction that was occurring.

The ground was shaking violently and the debris was falling from the sky, creating a massive crater on the ground. The destruction and chaos was spreading quickly throughout the city. The ponies were running away in fear, trying to find safety and escape the destruction.

In the midst of the chaos and destruction, a massive alicorn would emerge. Her body was glowing, her eyes were burning with a fiery intensity, and her body was covered in an aura of power. She was an Alicorn, a powerful and majestic creature, but she was not the usual kind. She was a being of pure power and destruction, a creature of immense magical ability and a symbol of chaos and destruction. She was a force to be reckoned with, and she was unleashing her wrath upon the city, destroying everything in her path.

This was Twilight Luminaria, in the form of a massive Alicorn, a towering figure of destruction, standing at a colossal height of over 500 feet tall. Her presence was felt throughout the city, as she was the cause of the chaos and destruction that was engulfing the city. Her eyes burned with an intense fury, her wings spread out like a cape, and her entire body was glowing with a powerful and menacing energy. She was a force of nature, a creature of chaos, and a symbol of destruction.

"Y-Your Majesty...?" Some of the guards spoke.

"Get to the stadium." Twilight Luminaria commanded, not bothering to turn around as she spoke. Her eyes were fixated on something, and her focus was unwavering. The guards could feel the power and intensity in her voice, and they knew better than to disobey her. They quickly left, heading towards the stadium to fulfill their duty and to protect the people of the city from the chaos that was unfolding.

Meanwhile, Twilight Luminaria was focused on her target. She was staring intently at the massive crater that she had caused, the destruction that she had created.

"Ough..." Twilight Moonlight barely managed to shield herself, raising her head to see the massive alicorn before her. "Heh. Struck a nerve?"

"You have no idea how powerful I am." Twilight Luminaria spoke, her voice powerful and imposing.

Twilight Luminaria would take action upon one of her reincarnations, her buttons being perfectly pushed. She would ensure that Twilight Moonlight's soul returns to her, further completing her return. After what she had said, the Queen would see to it personally that Twilight Moonlight would pay.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 736 End.
