Pokemon Game Story · 7:22am May 19th, 2018
Hey everyone. This blog will follow the progress of how my MLP Pokemon story would go as a game. So a some points, when I release a chapter, I will update this blog with the parallel information. Hope you enjoy.
Pokemon Harmony and Chaos
Part 1/The Game Begins
Story
The story begins after selecting your character, Flash or Twilight, and giving them a name. For simplicity let's say you picked Flash.
We start the game, where you wake up in your bedroom in Ponyville Town. Going downstairs you find your mom, who asks how you enjoyed your first night after the move. She then tells you to head out to the main square, where a surprise is waiting for you.
Heading outside you find your way to the main square, where you find Lightning Blitz waiting for someone. It's then that Twilight shows up and explains that you and Lightning have been chosen, to receive a Pokemon from Prof Celestia. Lightning tells you to go first and you pick between Thawn, Hisscor or Aquana. Once you pick your Pokemon Lightning picks his, whichever's strong against yours, and then challenges you to battle. After the battle Lightning heads out, while Twilight suggests showing your mom your new Pokemon.
Returning home, your mom sees your Pokemon and suggests heading over to Canterlot City to thank Celestia. She gives you some new Running Shoes and you head out.
Going onto Route 1 you make your way through it, battling Pokemon like Chickling and Chopmunk. Halfway through the route you see a Pokemon, Pegasoar or Mysticorn depending on who you picked, which appears to be looking at you before it suddenly runs off.
Eventually you reach Canterlot City, where Twilight shows up and escorts you to Celestia's Laboratory. You meet Prof Celestia who's impressed by how well your Pokemon is doing, before then asking you a favour. To take a Pokedex and try filling it up. She then gives you a letter to give to your mother. As you leave the lab, you and Twilight meet Sombra. He tells you that filling the Pokedex will require a powerful trainer and suggests you take on the Pokemon League challenge.
Returning to Ponyville you give your mother the letter and she agrees to let you go.
Returning to Route 1 you run into Twilight, who shows you how to catch a Pokemon. She demonstrates with the remaining Starter Pokemon on a Chopmunk, which she catches. Afterwards she gives you ten Pokeballs.
Heading through Canterlot City you can now access Route 2 and head to Stratusburg Town. Battling several trainers along the way.

Part 2/Stratusburg Dam
Story
Arriving in Stratusburg Town, you run into Twilight who tells you that in the town over the river and passed the forest there's a Pokemon Gym where you can test your strength.
When you go to the draw bridge you find it raised and learn from the guard that the power has been cut, before he asks you to go to the dam and see what the problem is.
Arriving at the dam you find a man in strange cloths guarding the entrance, who tells you to go away before battling you. When he's defeated he runs inside the dam, allowing you to enter and find the place overrun by people in the same strange cloths. Battling your way through you are then ambushed by a pair of them, but Twilight shows up to help and you tag battle. After defeating the pair they all flee, allowing the workers to restore power.
With the draw bridge lowered you're able to cross and leave Stratusburg Town, but halfway across you are intercepted by Lightning and he challenges you to a battle. After you defeat him, he runs off and you can follow after. You enter the White Tail Woods.

Part 3/First Badge
Story
After making your way through the White Tail Woods, and Route 3 you arrive in Trottingham City where your first Gym Battle awaits.
Heading to the Gym, you find Lightning outside the doors. He explains that the Gym Leader, Time Turner, is at the Industrial Park.
Heading over to the Industrial Park while battling the trainers and wild Pokemon, you eventually find Time Turner who returns to the Gym.
Returning to the Gym, you find a trainer waiting between you and Time Turner. You can either battle him, or walk around him and go straight to Time Turner. When you reach Time Turner, you can battle him and his Steel Type Pokemon and if you win he'll give you the Gear Badge and the TM for Gear Grind.
After leaving the Gym, one of Prof Celestia's aides comes to you and gives you a letter. Reading it you learn that Prof Celestia's sister, Prof Luna, is waiting for you in Bales Town.
You head over to Route 4, a man had been preventing you from going their before, and begin your journey to the next town.

Part 4/Prof Luna
Story
After making your way through Route 4, you arrive in Bales Town and run into Twilight.
She takes you to the Bales Town Library and Fossil Museum, where you meet Prof Luna. She asks the two of you to battle, wanting to see how strong you are. You and Twilight battle and afterwards Luna deems you worthy of having a Pokemon Fossil, allowing you to chose from either a Shell Fossil or a Plate Fossil.
Once you have the Fossil, Twilight will leave and Luna will suggest heading to Fillydelphia City before she leaves.
In that moment, Sombra arrives explaining he's studying something at the library. He explains how there is an ancient myth about a pair Pokemon. One represents positive energy and harmony, while the others represents negative energy and chaos. The two balance each other out, keeping the world in order. He wonders out loud what the world would be like without that constant balance, before heading inside the library.
You head over to Route 5 and 6.

Part 5/Team Shadow
Story
After making your way through Route 6, you arrive in Fillydelphia City. Once there you meet Shining Armor, who's in town to check on the new Gym Leader before leaving.
After heading over to the Gym you see Shining Armor, who is moaning about the Gym Leader not being here. He then remembers how the Gym Leader loves Fillydelphia Gardens and heads off.
Following him to Fillydelphia Gardens you meet Fluttershy, who is investigating the Pokemon's unusual aggressive behaviour. She asks you to go with her to investigate and follows you, healing your Pokemon after every battle.
As you make your way through the gardens, you come across the same group you faced at Stratusburg Dam. The group call themselves Team Shadow and you and Fluttershy face off against them in double battles, until you reach the end and find the one leading the group. Commander Chrysalis explains that as the former Gym Leader, she'd built the gardens and as such should have ownership of all the Pokemon there. When you disagree she challenges you to a battle and once you win, she tries to call upon the rest of her forces. However, no one comes. Instead, the Gym Leader, Thorax, arrives and tells his mother he's taken care of her backup. Angry, Chrysalis and her forces pull out.
After Team Shadow leaves, Thorax tells you he'd seen the whole battle. He explains that when his mother became to obsessed with power and destroying her opponents, he was forced to defeat her and take her title as Gym Leader.
As thanks for stopping his mother, Thorax gives you the HM for Cut. He tells you that to use it, you'll need the Fillydelphia Gym Badge. Thorax then leaves the garden, returning to his gym. Fluttershy also thanks you for helping, giving you a Sooth Bell before leaving the garden.
After leaving the gardens, you bump into Shining Armor who had heard all about what'd happened. He explains that Team Shadow is a group with operations all over the Equestria Region and seems to be after something, though he is unsure what. He then leaves saying he'll be keeping an eye out for you.
After that you head to the Fillydelphia City Gym, where you navigate a hive designed maze before reaching Thorax. You battle and after you win Thorax gives you the Swarm Badge and TM for Silver Wind.
After leaving the Gym you head over to Route 7, using Cut to get passed the tree blocking the route.

Story
While travelling through Route 7 you run into Lightning Blitz, who challenges you to a battle. Once you win he leaves, allowing you to continue through Route 7 and find a Pokemon Center.
After resting at the Pokemon Center, you enter Ghastly Gorge. Half way through the dungeon, you meet a trainer named Pinkie Pie who asks to come with you since it's more fun to travel with friends.
You two travel through Ghastly Gorge, Pinkie healing your Pokemon while you go, and battle trainers with Pinkie in double battles. Eventually you make it to the exit of Ghastly Gorge, where Pinkie gives you a Dowsing Machine saying she doesn't need it since she seems to have a natural sense to find things. She then suggests you come over to the Pie Family Rock Farm, before she leaves.
You leave Ghastly Gorge and arrive in Baltimare City.
You head over to the Pie Family Rock Farm, where you run into Pinkie who introduces you to her family, including her sister Maud Pie the Baltimare Gym Leader. Her father asks if you'd like to hear about rocks and if you say yes, he will go on a rant about rocks. Once he finishes he thanks you for listening and gifts you with the TM for Rock Smash. Maud then leaves and returns to her Gym.
You head to the Gym and use Rock Smash to navigate through it towards Maud. After defeating her, Maud gives you the Rubble Badge and the TM for Rock Tomb.
After leaving the Gym you head to the entrance of Route 8, where you run into Twilight who gives you the HM for Surf.

After the tournament ends, you leave the arena and talk to Shining who suggests you head to Applewood Town before leaving.

Part 8/The Apples
Story
After making it to the end of Route 10 you arrive at the entrance of the Everfree Forest. Halfway through the dungeon you run into a trainer named Applejack, who suggests going with you since the forest is a dangerous place for those unfamiliar to it. You travel through the forest together, battling in tag battles against pokemon and trainers.
Suddenly you run into a pair of Team Shadow grunts, who are in the forest to try and capture the powerful pokemon. You and Applejack face off against them. After defeating them they run off and you and Applejack make it to the exit, where Applejack suggests heading to her family farm before leaving.
You exit the forest and find yourself in Applewood City. Once you head to the farm you once again meet Applejack, who shows you around and introduces you to her family, including Granny Smith the Gym Leader. Granny Smith explains how they teach their Pokemon Headbutt, to buck the fruit from the trees and that Big Mac is a master of teaching Pokemon the move. She heads into the Gym, telling you to come and get her.
You go to Big Mac and have him teach a Pokemon Headbutt, before you then head inside the Gym. In the Gym, you discover it is filled with nothing but trees. The Gym Aide explains that the gym has five floors, with the trees being the only way up. You must pick a tree and use Headbutt to shake it and if you picked right, a rope ladder will appear and you can climb up to the next floor. But if you pick wrong, the trainer hiding in the tree will fly out and you must battle them.
Eventually you find your way to Granny Smith and battle her. Once you defeat her, she gives you the Harvest Badge and the TM for Energy Ball.
After leaving the Gym you head through Route 11 and to the entrance of Route 12, where a man is waiting. If you'd come this way before getting the Orchid Badge, the man would have turned you away saying the route ahead is to tough for someone of your skill level. Now that you have the badge the man admits to your skill and lets you pass into Route 12.

Part 9/The Grand Desert
Story
After making your way through Route 12, you find yourself in Dodge Junction.
If you explore around you'll find an old man who explains how he was once a great adventurer, who collected many amazing Pokemon in his youth. He then says how he only has an egg left, which he'd discovered years ago but it never hatched. He explains how he thinks the egg is waiting for a real trainer before it hatches and decides to give it to you.
As you're about to leave Dodge Junction, you run into Lightning who decides to battle you. After defeating him, Lightning leaves and you can make your way to the Grand Desert.
You travel through the Grand Desert and eventually run into Shining, who's investigating a rumour of Team Shadow being here. Shining asks for your help and you agree. He suggests checking out the Hidden Temple, an ancient landmark from long ago, and directs you to it before heading off into the desert. You find the Hidden Temple and make your way inside, battling wild pokemon and Team Shadow Grunts, until you find yourself in the deepest chamber of the Temple. There you meet Team Shadow's Commander Doom Raizer, who explains he got what he came for before battling. Despite being beaten, Doom Raizer refuses to give what he took back. He then warns you that their leader, is a thousand times stronger then any of them and that he wouldn't stand a chance against him. He and the rest of their grunts leave.
Back outside the Temple, Shining Armour appears again and you explain what happened. Shining is annoyed about Team Shadow escaping, but is happy on how well you did before giving you the HM for Strength. He then leaves.
Using Strength you manage to navigate the route and eventually make your way out of the desert.

Story
After passing through Route 13 you arrive at the base of Foal Mountain, where a Pokemon Centre is located. Once you've healed your Pokemon you head into the Mountain, where you meet a girl named Rainbow Dash. She suggests the two of you traverse the mountain together as the Pokemon ahead maybe to powerful for you alone, and not because she's scared of going forward alone. You agree and eventually find your way to the mountain exit where Rainbow gives you the HM 02 for not slowing her down, and not because she's grateful for your help, before heading out the mountain.
Once you leave you find yourself in Cloudsdale. You head to the gym and discover its a large group of zip wires, with fans being used to push you across. There you meet Spitfire and after defeating her, she gives you the Flight Badge and the TM for Aerial Ace.

She takes you to the Contest Hall, where you can enter the Contest alongside Rarity. After the Contest, you meet a man named Tidal who says he was mesmerised by your skill and tells you he is the Gym Leader before returning to his Gym.
Heading to the Gym, you find a trio of slides. The Gym Aide tells you that you have to chose between one and slide down it. Pick the right slide and you will arrive at the next level, but pick the wrong one and you'll arrive at a trainer that you have to fight. Eventually you find yourself in front of Tidal and battle him. After defeating him, Tidal gives you the Tsunami Badge and the TM for Scald.

Part 14/The Crystal Empire
Story
After making your way thought Route 16 and the snowy Route 17, you arrive at the Crystal Empire. There you run into Twilight and Shining, who introduce you to Shining's wife Professor Cadance. Cadance asks to battle you, to see how strong you are. After defeating her, she suggests going to the Crystal Castle, which has been converted into a lab, before she and her family leave. Heading to the Crystal Castle, you see Twilight, Shining, Cadance and also Sombra. He is hoping to hear more about the history of Equestria, which Cadance tells you. She explains that the two legendary Pokemon, Alicormony and Dischaos, are destined to do battle every thousand years. Dischaos awakens and destroys as much as it can, then is defeated by Alicormony. She explains the destruction is a natural part of life, making room for something new.
She then explains how, centuries ago, a great threat faced the world and the Legendaries awakened to stop it. But fearing something like this would happen again, Alicormony created the Crystal Heart to be used in order to summon them when needed.
However, a hundred years later, someone attempted to steal the Crystal Heart and use it to summon the Legendaries so they could capture them. The plot failed, but the people of the Crystal Empire decided it would be best to split the Crystal Heart and separate to two pieces until it was the right time to use the Crystal Heart. She then shows you the Heart Fragment.
In that moment, Team Shadow arrives and explains they want the Heart Fragment. They are lead by Commander Chrysalis who asks for the Heart Fragment, threatening you and Twilight if you don't. Shining laughs explaining they can handle themselves, which Chrysalis mocks before sending two grunts up to battle. Twilight suggests the two of you double battle, which you do and defeat them while Shining defeats the rest of the grunts. After that, Chrysalis steps in and wants revenge for Fillydelphia Garden. You battle and defeat her, forcing her to leave but she vows to get her revenge. After that, Cadance decides she needs to secure the Heart Fragment someplace safe. Shining leave, more determined then ever to find out what Team Shadow is up to. Twilight decides to stay behind for a while.
Sombra asks you for a battle, wanting to experience your strength first hand. After you battle, Sombra explains that the final gym is in Dragonia City but to get there you must pass through MT Tartarus. He leaves.
You head to Route 18.

Part 15/MT Tartarus and Dragonia City
Story
After making your way through Route 18, you arrive at MT Tartarus.
There, you make your way through the mountain. A large series of tunnels with several dead-ends, with multiple trainers trying to beat you.
Whilst there, you may come across a Team Shadow grunt standing in front of a metal door. If you talk to them, they tell you this is no place for kids and tells you to get lost. When you refuse, he battles you. If you beat him, the grunt tells you you're still not getting in and goes through the door. If you try the door, you'll find it's locked with no way to open it.
When you leave Mt Tartarus, you find yourself in Dragonia City. When you head to the gym, you are stopped outside it by Lightning Blitz. He states he'll be the first to beat the Gym Leader and challenges you to a battle. When you beat him, he states he's still gonna be the first to battle the Gym Leader but then someone off screen states nobody's battling the gym leader.
They look around and see a girl named Ember, who tell them the Gym doesn't have a leader. Lightning is furious by this, thinking this is an outrage. Ember tells him the former Gym Leader has just retired and they're holding a contest at the Dragon's Nest to determine the next leader before she walks off. Lightning doesn't care about becoming a Gym Leader and leaves to train.
You head to the Dragon's Nest, where multiple people are waiting outside. Ember is there along with an annoying trainer named Garble. There, the former Gym Leader explains that the first one to reach the deepest part of the dungeon will become the new Gym Leader. He then heads inside and Garble pushes his way through to be the first one after him.
Ember seems worried, but refuses when you offer to team up with her before heading inside. You follow her and search through the cave, battling multiple Dragon-types as you head deeper and deeper. And eventually, you run into Ember whose having trouble will the more aggressive Pokemon. She decides to take you up on your previous offer and the pair of you head through the cave together, battling in double battles against Pokemon and any trainer you meet.
Eventually, you reach the entrance to the deepest chamber and Ember thanks you. But before you can go through, Garble appears and states he'll be the next Gym Leader. Ember is about to battle him, but you step up and face him instead. Ember thanks you again before heading into the chamber, as you and Garble battle.
When you win, Garble runs off and you enter the chamber. There, you see Torch congratulating his daughter. Ember thanks him before turning to you. She thanks you for helping her achieve her dream and promises you'll be her first Gym Battle before she leaves. If you talk to Torch, he states he's willing to teach Draco Meteor to your Pokemon.
You leave the Dragon's Nest and head to the Gym, which is full of lava and can only be crossed by using the wings of dragon statues as a bridge. You eventually reach Ember and the pair of you battle. When you beat her, she gives you the Sceptre Badge and the TM for Dragon Claw.
When you leave the Gym, you suddenly get a call on your Pokedex. It's Twilight, stating she managed to hack into the device to talk to you. She states that Team Shadow is attacking the Crystal Empire again.

Part 16/Team Shadow's Plan
Story
After being contacted by Twilight, you head back to the Crystal Empire.
Once there, you head to the Crystal Castle and find it a wreck. Twilight, Cadance, and Shining are there, explaining that Team Shadow attacked another area of the city and whilst they were dealing with them, another group attacked the area they were keeping the Heart Fragment and stole it. She's amazed by this, since very few people knew where the Heart Fragment was being kept.
Celestia and Luna arrive and explain that they've been looking into the ancient legend and explains that the Crystal Heart must be taken to a place called the Alter of Summons, whilst Shining realises Team Shadow must have found the other Heart Fragment in the Grand Desert.
In that moment, a scientist shows up and tells them they've detected unusual energy reading that have shown up in Canterlot City. Shining decides to check it out and leaves, the others leaving as well.
You head Canterlot and find Shining and the others outside the Pokemon Center. They divide the city into areas and agree to check it out, the area you're assigned revealed to have the entrance to a secret base. There, you find multiple Shadow Grunts and battle your way through. You may also locate a Master Ball somewhere.
You eventually reach the deepest area of the base. There, you find none other then Sombra. He states he's the one leading Team Shadow, as he wants the take control of the Legendary and become the strongest trainer in Equestria. He explains that the only thing that determines a person's worth in this world is their strength, so he who holds the strongest Pokemon has the most worth.
He then shows off the finished Crystal Heart, which is what caused the energy outburst they detected. He attempts to stop you from getting his his way by defeating you in battle, intending to use you to test a new device.
Several devices scattered around the room activate and fill it with a strange energy, Sombra explaining its one that will weaken all but a select few Pokemon not wearing special protection. The battle begins and in it, all your Pokemon's stats will be lowered by three stages. Despite this, you still manage to defeat Sombra.
He is annoyed, but takes this to heart and understands he'll need to use greater energy on the Legendary. He then manages to escape, using a hidden warp tile to teleport away.
Once he's gone, Shining and Twilight show up. Both are shocked to discover Sombra's the one behind Team Shadow and are angry that they couldn't arrive in time to stop him. But they're not completely hopeless.
Twilight explains that whilst searching the base, she discovered a room full of books and maps. One such map showed MT Tartarus, with many circles drawn around it. They realise that's where the Alter of Summons must be, agreeing to head there. Shining then gives you both a special key card he got off some Shadow Grunts before leaving, Twilight going after him.

Part 17/Team Shadow's Defeat
Story
With the base now abandoned, you leave through either retracing your steps or using the Warp Tile. If you use the tile, it will teleport you outside the base.
You then head back to MT Tartarus and begin to make your way through it again. You eventually find the door, if you haven't battled the Grunt you would battle him now, then open the door using the key card Shining gave you and head into a maze. You travel through the maze, solving several puzzles and defeating many Shadow Grunts until you arrive at an area near the peak of the mountain. There you find Shining Armor, with Chrysalis and Doom standing between him and the chamber.
He tells you he needs to stop Sombra, but the Commanders are standing in his way. Then Twilight arrives, stating she and you will take care of them. The battle starts whilst Shining goes ahead, you and Twilight managing to defeat the Commanders and make them step aside and allow you into the Alter of Summons.
There, you find Shining battling against Sombra...and losing. Galladin and Tyrandark fight in the overworld and Tyrandark overpowers Galladin and knocks it out.
Sombra notices you and gives his thanks, staying that because of their earlier battle he upped the power and now not even the champion can defeat him. Shining apologises to you and asks that you take his place and beat Sombra, the man laughing as he explains you don't stand a chance.
In that moment, the Crystal Heart activates and summons the Legendary. If you're playing Harmony, it summons Alicormony. And if you're playing Chaos, it summons Dischaos. The energy field then effects the Legendary, trapping it within a cage and making it go berserk.
Sombra laughs, believing he has won. But then, Twilight gets an idea and tells you to destroy the devices. You do so, the screen going black as the cries of all the Pokemon on your team fill the air, the screen then lighting up again to reveal the destroyed devices.
This angers Sombra, as the Legendary is freed, causing him to charge at you and do battle. You win, obviously, and Sombra is restrained. Despite this, however, the Legendary continues rampage and Shining states the only way to stop it is to either capture or defeat it.
As the strongest trainer, and after Twilight heals your Pokemon, you go up against the Legendary and either capture or beat it. When it's over, Shining stats he's impressed with Twilight agreeing. Celestia and Luna show up, both amazed they missed the whole event before congratulating you. They're shocked to see Sombra is the mastermind, but quickly get over it and agree to take him and the other Shadow Grunts into custody.
Twilight thanks you and promises she'll get stronger so the two of you can battle as equals, then heads off along with Celestia, Luna and the villains. This leaves you with Shining Armor, who is contemplating what Sombra said about power ruling over all. He states that having power doesn't make you worthy of being the most important, but instead being worthy is what grants you power. He explains that true strength comes from having a good reason for being strong and that whilst those without good reasons can become powerful, that power doesn't compare to those with a good reason.
He then turns to you and asks what you think is a good reason for being strong, the game giving you a list of pretty similar answers, with the champion agreeing to whatever you pick.
He then leaves, saying he'll be waiting for you at the league.

Part 18/Victory Road
Story
With Team Shadow vanquished, you leave MT Tartarus by either retracing your steps or using Dig or an Escape Rope.
When you arrived at the exit of the mountain, Pegasoar, Horsearth and Mysticorn appear. They dance around you for a bit before rushing off. You can now capture these Legendaries, each one being found in secret areas that were previously empty before. Pegasoar is in Foal Mountain, Horsearth in Ghastly Gorge and Mysticorn in the Everfree Forest.
When you return to Canterlot, you can head to a large metal door at the very back of the city leading into a mountain. If you went there before, a guard would stop you stating it isn't the right time to open the door. But now, he lets you pass and the door reacts to your badges.
It opens, allowing you to enter the Victory Road. You pass through the underground maze, defeating many strong trainers and solving many difficult puzzles. And eventually, you reach the end and exit the cave.
You find yourself at the top of the mountain, a large building waiting in front of you. But before you can head into it, you're stopped by Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie. The girls heard what you did and whilst they are unable to compete in the tournament, they wish to test themselves against you in battle. You battle them, first Fluttershy, then Pinkie, then Rarity. Once all three are defeated, they thank you for respecting them enough to not hold back and wish you luck before leaving.

Part 19/Equestria League
Story
You've finally made it to the Pokemon League, which you enter and find multiple people inside. Those include Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Twilight and Lightning, all of which have acquired eight badges and are entering the league against you.
The woman at the front desk tells all the trainers that they must select their chosen Pokemon before registering, stating that once registered you can't change Pokemon, leave or buy any new items. The screen going black before returning to normal, revealing only you, the registering woman, Pokemon center and Pokemart remain. You can buy any item needed, heal your Pokemon or swap them out for new ones.
Once that's done, you go to the woman at the front and register. Once that's done, you're taken into a room with a sofa, TV and a man at the exit. If you watch the TV, it'll say something about either Rainbow, Twilight or Lightning.
When you talk to the man at the door, he'll ask if you're ready for your first battle. If you state yes, the screen will go black and light back up to show a battlefield that you step out onto. Applejack comes out the other side, stating she's looking forward to this before the two of you battle. You win and Applejack tells you she had fun and is happy you're the one that beat her before leaving.
You are sent back to the waiting room, where you can heal up your Pokemon with items before talking to the man again. The situation repeats, only this time you're up against Rainbow as she's psyched to get to battle you. You win and Rainbow promises she'll get stronger and settle the score.
You're sent back to the waiting room and heal up your Pokemon again before talking to the man, who sends you back to the battlefield with Twilight waiting for you. She hopes she can give you a worthy battle and the two of you face off, you beating Twilight who is not sad as she learned a lot from the match.
You're sent back to the waiting room and heal up your Pokemon again before talking to the man, who sends you back to the battlefield with Lightning waiting for you. He swears he'll defeat you, stating you're the last obstacle he has left to overcome before he can finally face the champion. You battle and, of course, you win. Lightning is horrified about this and asks why he always loses to you, wondering if there's something wrong with his training style. He vows to discover what it is he's missing, then face off against you and finally win before leaving.
You're sent back to the waiting room and heal up your Pokemon one last time, then talks to the man who tells you this final battle will be your hardest. He wishes you luck and sends you to a big battlefield, with many members of the ground cheering for you. You step onto the field and find Shining Armor waiting for you. He tells you he knew you'd be the one to stand against him here and wishes for a good match, the battle beginning. The fight is difficult but eventually, you claim victory and become the new champion. The crowd cheers as Shining thanks you for a great match, the man happy his title is going to you.
Celestia shows up and together with Shining, they take you into the Hall of Fame. There, your Pokemon are scanned and the newest champion is crowned.
You've completed Pokemon Harmony and Chaos.

Still an interesting story. Kinda like how the real games and anime are, I can see how they are based on each other while at the same time being different.
Still fun reading this. I can picture this as an actual game.
5043767 Whoops. Meant to update this.
5043769
Hoof Cup entry is shorter than I thought. I hope your story turns out the way it works here with Lightning losing.
Hold on. "Wife"? Strongheart is...?
What? 
5271719 Oh yeah, that was my plan for the chapter originally, but I had to change it due to how the last chapter turned out.
Wow, it feels like forever since this updated. But still great content to it. Based on the new content of this and how the newest chapter ended, I guess once the group is done with Cadance they will move on to Dragonia City. With a name like that I am pretty sure it confirms the identity of the last Gym Leader.
There are three characters in this series with a Blazegon. Heath, Garble and Ember.
It was fun reading through this along with the series. It really feels like a game and its anime adaptation.
