//------------------------------// // Heartless and Compassionate // Story: My Little Pokémon // by Amarvax //------------------------------// Equestria, Pixie Plains. Yet another newly formed area in the Equestria specifically for the Pokemon. This was also another location that held many Fairy-Type Pokemon and the boundless love and happiness they hold. Unfortunately, many of these fairy locations have recently been under attack by Chrysalis and her changelings. After Ghetsis informed her about the amount of love Fairy-Types hold, the entire changeling hive had a field day. And the Pixie Plains was one of them. Chrysalis had arrived at the plains with other changelings feeding on all the Fairy-Types present here. Even the ones that were hiding from her. "Wonderful!" Chrysalis held a Floette up with her magic as the Single Bloom Pokemon was trying to break free. She gladly fed on Floette's love, already feeling a great amount of magic fill her up. "Flo! Floette!" "I could stay here for the entire day, actually." Chrysalis spun Floette around. "It would be a perfect breakfast, lunch and dinner." As the changelings had their fill of love, Team Plasma was also present in the Pixie Plains. They weren't assisting Chrysalis and her changelings at all. Instead, Ghetsis had sent some of his grunts to investigate something in particular. That something was none other than the many Dynamax dens scattered across Equestria thanks to Lucien's actions. There were a few dens here and there with their red lights but one single den in these plains and it emanated a purple pillar of light, indicating that a rare and powerful Pokemon resides in it. Colress had heard about Dynamax but he's been so focused on other projects that he never got the chance to learn more about it. But he finally had that chance at long last. Ghetsis found Dynamaxing to be intriguing. A Pokemon growing in size due to the energy radiating from those dens was another potential tool he could utilize. But what really got their attention was Gigantamax Pokemon. Going beyond Dynamax and changing their forms completely. Few Pokemon were actually capable of Gigantamaxing. He even thought about Dynamaxing his Hydreigon. Imagining how huge it would be whilst asserting his rule over everyone was already giving him splendid ideas. Ghetsis himself was currently present in this world along with Colress concerning the Dynamax Phenomenon. The grunts set foot in the Pixie Plains, watching as Chrysalis and her changelings went on with their love feeding session. They took his eyes off of that, only focusing on the real prize here. The Dynamax Dens. Colress had contacted the grunts with information concerning the Dynamax Dens. "Have you found any dens yet?" Colress asked. "Yes. But there seems to be a different coloured one up ahead over there." A grunt pointed over a small elevated piece of land that had a single den sticking out. "But...these appear to be purple instead of their usual red. Should we approach it?" "Do it. I've found out that the two colours of each Dynamax pool represent something. Red means a weak Dynamax Pokemon whilst purple represents a rare and powerful Dynamax Pokemon." "They do?" "Right. Each pool has a type theme, where almost all Pokémon that can appear in that pool share a particular type; Pokémon that do not match the type theme typically have an evolutionary relative who does. A den's common pool and rare pool usually are the same type but not necessarily. Approach the den and you'll find yourself a rare Fairy-Type for sure. Use the device I gave you to Dynamax your Pokemon." "Alright. Let's go." The grunts approached the Dynamax den, preparing themselves for whatever powerful Fairy Pokemon might emerge. As they got closer they could see purple particles fly up from the ground and the den. When they reached the den, they could hear sounds coming out of it. Possibly from either the light of the den or the Pokemon. "Since it'll always be Fairy-Type..." The female grunt held out a Poke Ball. "Using Poison is the way to go." They knew that the only way they could enter the den was by entering that huge open hole with the pillar rising out. There were 4 of them in total, so they would be enough to overwhelm whatever Pokemon lies inside. Once they set foot inside of the Dynamax den, the grunts were met with a barren and rocky landscape filled with red and purple lights flaring everywhere. The inside of the den may be uninteresting, but the Pokemon inside wasn't. The second they arrived, the Fairy-Type in question that was inside of here was none other than a Gigantamax Hatterene. "HATT...." In this Gigantamax form, Hatterene looked a bit different from what it usually looks like. Thanks to powerful Dynamax energy that allowed it to assume a Gigantamax form, Gigantamax Hatterene has grown to a colossal size, while its physiology remains vastly the same. The Silent Pokemon looked down at Team Plasma, seeing as they had arrived at her den. In this Gigantamax form, Hatterene is capable of reading emotions from 30 miles away. The minute it senses hostility, it goes on the attack. It’s known to some as the Raging Goddess. And it could feel the hostility coming from Team Plasma. "Alright, you. Let's get this over with. Colress requires data on Gigantamax Pokemon, and you're a good catch." The female grunt said. Those words didn't sit well with the Silent Pokemon at all. It now had a logical reason to attack them all. "Come out! Seviper!" She had sent out her Seviper for this battle. "Sevi!" The other grunts sent out some Poison and also Steel-Type Pokemon to gain a huge advantage over Hatterene who was unfortunately weak to all of them. They consisted of Salazze, Aggron and Escavalier. "Now..." The female grunt held out the device Colress gave her. It was a sort of metal bracelet that allowed her to Dynamax any of her Pokemon. Usually, Dynamax takes a strong bond between trainer and Pokemon to pull off, but with this bracelet, it forces the Pokemon to Dynamax. "Seviper! Dynamax!" A red light burst out of the bracelet as Seviper's body started to pulsate. Its body felt the Dynamax energy swell up from within as it was distorting the space around it to change its size while affecting the world. Much like how every Dynamax Pokemon does. Seviper's body pulsated three times until it finally reached the expected Dynamax size for any Pokemon, minus a few exceptions here and there. "SEVIPER!" "Good. What did Colress say those moves were called? Oh, right. Max Ooze!" "VI!" The Fang Snake Pokemon spun its body around, gathering up lethal poison from its tail. Once Seviper swung its tail, three streams of poison flew forward towards the Psychic-Fairy-Type. "Hatterene formed a protective barrier around her body, using Max Guard to shield herself from the Poison move. However, once she let her guard down, one of the grunts had used Toxic by shooting a ball of poison at her body, poisoning the Silent Pokemon. "TERRENE!" Hatterene winced after being poisoned as she closed her eyes. She went on the attack this time by using its tentacles to shoot down beams of lightning towards all of the Pokemon here. The Pokemon were ordered to dodge the beams of lightning as they then began to overwhelm Hatterene by attacking all at once. With Hatterene poisoned, a Salazzle had used Venoshock to drench Hatterene in a poisonous liquid stream which dealt double the damage due to the poison effect. "Wrap around Hatterne and hold her down, Seviper!" "VIPER!" The Fang Snake Pokemon slithered forward, wrapping its enlarged body around the Silent Pokemon, constricting Hatterne whilst Seviper's sword-like tail pokes her back. Even her tentacles had been caught up by Seviper. "T-TERRENE! HATT!" With Hatterene being held down by Seviper, this prompted the rest of the Team Plasma grunts to attack while she was defenceless. An Escavalier used Swords Dance to strike its sharp lances into Hatterene's body, an Aggron used Iron Tail to strike her legs while Salazzle used Sludge Bomb. Hatterene tried her best to break free but every time she struggled, Seviper's grip tightened. She was bombarded by Super-effective moves, causing the Silent Pokemon to wince and cry out in pain. "Let's finish this! Toss Hatterene up!" "SEVI!" By using all of its strength, Seviper had moved a bit of its body back while still keeping its tail wrapped around Hatterene. The Fang Snake Pokemon then picked her up like a ragdoll, tossing Hatterne high into the air. Hatterene didn't just go up, she had been forced out of the den itself. The ground itself was erupting all of a sudden, causing Chrysalis and the Changelings to quake along with the Fairy Pokemon. "What is that?!" Chrysalis looked around, wondering what was causing that tremor. She then looked over to notice something arise near some of her changelings. Hatterene flew out of the ground underneath, hitting the changelings in the process as they were knocked into the air. "Now! Finish it with Max Ooze!" Seviper delivered the final blow by shooting yet another stream of poison upwards through the hole that Hatterene crashed through. The ooze engulfed Hatterene and even the changelings themselves, hurting not just one individual but many instead. Chrysalis gasped as she saw some of her changelings take the poisonous attack directly. Hatterene and the changelings fell on their back with their bodies twitching uncontrollably. Hatterene obviously was badly hurt but not as hurt as the changelings who didn't have the same resistance as a Pokemon. The grunts hopped out of the den, ready to capture their first Gigantamax Pokemon for themselves. The female grunt held the Poke Ball in her hand, throwing it directly at the Silent Pokemon. Hatterene at first tried to whack the ball away with her tentacle but she was too injured to do so. The red light of the Poke Ball pulled her in as it began to shake. 1...2...3...Gotcha! Hatterene had been caught by Team Plasma. "That settles that. Dynamax battling may be slow but it's so easy." She chuckled, picking up the Poke Ball. Seviper reverted to its normal size after that battle. Chrysalis teleported over to the injured changelings, having a worried look on her face. They had horrible scars all over their body as they were on the ground, twitching and whimpering in pain. Chrysalis growled as she turned around to face the grunts, knowing that this was their doing. "YOU! How dare you!" "Hm? What's your problem?" A grunt said. "Problem?! Look at what you've done to them! Their bodies have been horribly poisoned thanks to your actions!" "Pssh. Whatever. If you have an issue, go talk to Lord Ghetsis about it." The female grunt scoffed at her. "Let's head back." "You ca-" Chrysalis attempted to lash out at them, but Aggron and Salazze got in her way, preventing her from attacking. Chrysalis backed off, knowing that she may end up harming herself if she battles these two. With her changelings injured, there was one individual she could scold for this. "Ghetsis!" Chrysalis went up to Ghetsis who was about to return to Pyrestar's world as a gateway was in front of him. "Hm? What do you want?" He turned around. "Look at this!" She held her injured changelings with her magic, placing them down on the ground. They still hadn't been healed yet as they were essentially suffering at this point. "The reckless action that you and your grunts did severely injured my subjects with poison scars and gashes!" "That so?" "Keep them in check to avoid any more of this happening in the future!" "And why should I?" Ghetsis raised an eyebrow, shocking Chrysalis with that response. "Why should- Do you not realize what this caused?! If we're an alliance, we need as many of our own armies as we can! This type of action can ruin that!" "Team Plasma gets the job done. We have little time to care about casualties. Perhaps tell your changelings to move somewhere else when my men begin working." "Why you...How can-" Chrysalis flew up to Ghetsis out of frustration and anger, however, Ghetsis pointed his staff at her neck, holding the Changeling Queen in place. "Listen here you..." Ghetsis looked down on her with a menacing glare. "The only reason why I have kept you and your subjects around is that I find your ability to shapeshift slightly more useful than Ditto but less obvious than Zoroark. I do not care about your wellbeing or lives whatsoever." "W-What...?" Chrysalis stammered. "If I wanted to, I could destroy all of your subjects and you in a flash with my Hydreigon if I so willed it. Whatever happens to them is none of my concern. You should've known this from the very beginning." "So... You were just using us then?" "Obviously." Ghetsis removed his staff. "It shouldn't have been this difficult to figure it out. Now get lost." "You think you can just use my subjects like that...?" Chrysalis narrowed her eyes as her horn glowed green. "Ghetsis!" "Hydreigon. Hyper Beam." Ghetsis ordered his Hydreigon to fly over to the poisoned changelings to attack them while they were still defenceless and greatly hurt. Chrysalis gasped to see Hydreigon opening its mouth with a blast of energy being built up in all three mouths. "Wait! Don't hurt them!" Chrysalis teleported over to her changelings, standing in front of them and protecting them from Hydreigon. "They're already suffering. Best to put them out of their misery, don't you think?" Ghetsis walked up to her with a smirk. "Please don't! They're defenceless! They cannot do anything right now!" "Hydreigon. Hold your fire." "Drei..." "I'll let them go. But if you want them to live, you'll have to figure that out on your own. And next time, whatever happens, don't come crying to me. Or else I'll make sure your entire species is wiped from the face of the planet. This alliance is only temporary after all. After this, I won't need you anymore. Understood?" "I-I understand." Chrysalis lowered her head, speaking in a lower tone. "Good. Let's go, Hydreigon." Ghetsis left to Pyrestar's world by passing through the gateway. A sense of dread and defeat had been implanted into Chrysalis. She's been defeated before but not like this. She was already terrified of Ghetsis ever since she tried to steal some love from him but now, her fears had skyrocketed to a gigantic degree. She looked down at her changelings, seeing how they were suffering from the poison gashes continuously pulsating over and over again. "I will get you all some help. There has to be something." She used her magic to pick up the poisoned changelings as she set off to find a cure for them. Chrysalis had no idea where to go but she had to try somehow. If there was a Pokemon for everything, then there's certainly a Pokemon that can erase these horrible poison scars from them. The one Pokemon type she assumed would help were the Fairy-Types due to their magical and healing nature they always carry around them. Although, after what she and her changelings did, she didn't think that it would be a good idea to head back to the Pixie Plains and ask for their help. If anything, they'd most likely deny them. But, Chrysalis arrived at the Pixie Plains anyway. She knew that the Fairies despised her after what she did. So there was no point in staying here. She decided to head off somewhere else. However, to her surprise, the Fairies flew over to the changeling queen. What makes the Fairy-Type so loved is that they don't care about alignments whether its good or evil. If someone needs healing, they'll be there. Although there are some exceptions. A Clefable used the move Refresh to erase the Poison gashes away from their bodies. A green light circled them as the changelings no longer felt any poison swelling up from within them at all. It was that easy when you're a Fairy-Type. And to heal up their wounds, Aromatisse used Heal Pulse to get them all back to full strength. That double healing made it look like the changelings were never hurt in the first place. "You healed them...? Even after what we did?" Chrysalis turned to the Pokemon. "Clefairy!" "Aromatisse!" Chrysalis had no idea what to think for a moment. The Pokemon that she stole love from gave some love back to her by healing up her subjects to full strength. She saw how the changelings flew around, feeling better than ever. "T-Thank you." Chrysalis thanked the Fairy Pokemon. The Pokemon thanked her back as they got on with their day. Chrysalis had actually decided to leave this area alone. She no longer had the drive to steal love from the Pixie lands because of two reasons. The first was Ghetsis knocking her down and the second was the compassion from the Fairy-Types themselves. She returned to the hive with her healed up changelings, glad that they were alive and alright. But now, she had a new thought circling inside of her mind. Once this alliance ends, it was hard to tell if Ghetsis meant that he'll just leave them behind or obliterate them all. Nevertheless, Chrysalis was scared for the future. Whatever Ghetsis and Team Plasma does next is a potential living nightmare as the journey continues. Chapter 263 End.
