My Little Pokémon

by Amarvax


Temporary Acquaintance

Ponyville, one of the many areas across Equestria with a Dynamax crisis ongoing.

Twilight had arrived at Lapras Lake to see the Dynamax power spot for herself, along with Spike, Starlight, Nyx, Cocoa and Rosestar. After learning that this was, in fact, a Dynamax pillar, the young alicorn was put high-alert.

"There it is," Twilight spoke as she looked over at the lake which had the pillar underwater.

"So...where's the Dynamaxed Pokemon?" Cocoa navigated her head around Lapras Lake.

"From where the light's coming from, most likely underwater." Twilight placed her hoof in the water. "But Lapras Lake isn't that deep. So if a Pokemon were to Dynamax, we would've noticed it by now."

"Maybe a Pokemon hasn't Dynamaxed yet." Spike shrugged. "Besides, there's no great black storm in the sky at all."

"Spike's right." Starlight replied. "I mean, the afternoon's just around the corner and everything still looks bright and sunny. I mean, how big is a Dynamax Pokemon even supposed to be?"

"The smaller ones are as tall as castles and the bigger ones are mountain-sized." Twilight moved her hoof away from the water as she felt some foam get on her. "Ow." She looked at her hoof, seeing how the foam gave her a slight sting. Which normally, foam can't do that.

But that was just the result of Kingler's G-Max Foam Burst filling the lake. And speaking of Kingler, the Pincer Pokemon being the only Water-Type in Lapras Lake right now had finally ended up reaching the higher levels of the lake due to its endless rampage.

Twilight could see a shadow forming in the lake. A shadow replicating that of Kingler but much wider. She backed up as she already knew something huge was emerging from underwater and her Pokemon felt the same way as well.

After hours of rampaging, Kingler had finally reached the surface as the first thing that came out was its gigantic pincer, splashing most of the water onto the land and even getting the ponies wet.

Their jaws dropped as they had finally seen the Gigantamaxed Pokemon for themselves.

The red aura, mysterious clouds and overwhelming size fit the description of Gigantamax to a T. Twilight could safely confirm that a Pokemon did end up making contact with the power spot.

Although, things weren't exactly safe at the moment.

"KINGLER!"

"Oh my..." Cocoa shuddered as she moved back. "I-Is that a Dynamax Pokemon?"

"Yes! Yes, it is!" Twilight nodded aggressively as she hid behind her Ninetales.

It didn't take long for Ponyville to see the Gigantamax Kingler as well. Its towering size cast its dark shadow over Lapras Lake, Saddle Lake and the Everfree Forest. Although most of it came from its left pincer.

"Wh-What do we do?! We've never gone up against a Pokemon this large!" Starlight was starting to panic.

"There's only one way to stop a Gigantamax Pokemon. With a battle of course." Twilight swallowed her fears as she and Spike were ready to take on Kingler since they have some experience with Dynamax. "Spike!"

"Oh! Right!" Spike shot up as he dug into his bag. "Where is it, where is it...Ah! Here it is!" He grabbed a Poke Ball, sending out his partner Pokemon Salamence.

"Sala!"

"You three stay back! Dynamax Pokemon can get a bit destructive!" Twilight warned Nyx, Cocoa and Rosestar. But not Starlight. The trio moved back to let the experts handle this whilst Starlight just looked around, confused.

"Wait, do I have to battle as well?!"

"We could use the help if you want to. Eve! Psybeam!" Twilight commanded as she was the first to take action.

"Esp...eon!" The red gem on Eve's forehead shined and it released a multicoloured beam from it at Kingler. The beam made contact with Kingler's face, causing a tiny purple explosion due to how huge the Pincer Pokemon was.

Whilst doing little damage, Kingler was still phased by the move since it can still feel pain. Out of anger, Kingler targeted Twilight and the others next as it raised its huge left Pincer in the air. "GLER!"

"Salamance! Hyper Beam!" Spike pointed up at Kingler.

"Salamence!" A much stronger move than Psybeam. Salamence opened its mouth as an orange ball appeared in front of its mouth. It then fired a beam of hyper energy from its mouth at the Gigantamaxed Pokemon.

Once hit, Kingler took the most damage out of any attack that had been thrown at it so far. The Hyper Beam was large enough to cover most of its face as the Pincer Pokemon was given an explosion right in front of it.

"KING!" Kingler stumbled back after that devastating attack, feeling a bit perplexed. What didn't help was that it was still paralyzed. After Grovyle used Dragonbreath on it, the effect hadn't left at all.

"Eve! Dazzling Gleam!"

"Salamence! Dragon Tail!"

Twilight's Espeon hopped on Salamence's back as the two made their way towards Kingler with Salamence taking flight. Kingler shook its head recovering after Hyper Beam as it noticed the two Pokemon coming straight at it.

In response, Kingler used Crabhammer with its huge pincer, slamming it towards the duo of Psychic and Dragon. The force of Kingler's pincer moving generated a sound similar to that of a rocket going off as there was a strong wind pressure flowing through the air.

"Mence!" Salamence spun his body around as Eve held on for dear life whilst building up Dazzling Gleam. The Dragon Pokemon managed to avoid Crabhammer by flying to the side. It had the speed advantage over Kingler's huge and slow movements.

Crabhammer hit the ground instead, causing a mini-earthquake that made the ponies lose their balance along with a tremor strong enough to reach Ponyville.

"Esp!" Eve told Salamence to launch her whilst using Dragon Tail. That way, she'll have a harder impact when colliding into Kingler.

"Sala!" Understanding her plan, Salamence tossed the Sun Pokemon off his back, summoning green draconic energy onto his tail.

"Espeon!" Eve had used Dazzling as a rainbow-coloured sphere was created around her body. The Dragon Pokemon swung his tail forward, colliding with the Fairy sphere as he sent his partner rocketing forward towards the opposing Gigantamax Pokemon.

Eve closed her eyes as she braced for impact.

She could feel the wind in her face as a trail of rainbows could be seen high in the sky. The Sun Pokemon crashed into the Pincer Pokemon with full-force, feeling the rebound of the collision as her body was trembling.

But the collision was harder on Kingler who had pulled back, losing its balance and falling on its back. "K-KING?" KINGLER!"

The force of Kingler falling back on the lake was enough to cause a large splash that got water all over the Pincer Pokemon's face. Eve was caught by Salamence who saved her from falling.

"Yes! Great job you two!" Twilight yelled as she and Spike cheered for their partners. "Now, Eve! Use Dazzling Gleam again! But this time from afar!"

"Use Hyper Beam again, Salamence!"

"Espeon!" Instead of charging in like before, Eve went for a distant attack as Rainbow coloured rays of light came from her red gem, shooting at Kingler with a frenzy of rays pelting the Pincer Pokemon.

As if that wasn't enough, Salamence chimed in with an even larger attack that surpassed Dazzling Gleam in power and size.

Hyper Beam came flying out of Salamence's mouth, helping Eve's Dazzling Gleam with their attack as Kingler was being overwhelmed by these two powerful attacks.

"Look at them go!" Cocoa gawked. "When are we going to learn stuff like that, Rosestar?"

"I don't know. But it's impressive that's for sure." Rosestar nodded.

"But look. That Pokemon hasn't been defeated yet." Nyx pointed out how Kingler was still standing after getting hit with such potent moves.

The Gigantamax Kingler stood up, holding its head with its huge pincer, dazed and paralyzed from being overwhelmed. The Pincer Pokemon opened one eye, looking down at Eve, Salamence, Twilight and Spike. Its eyes focused on them for a second, making them all anticipate its next move.

But there wasn't another move incoming. Because that combination of Dazzling Gleam and Hyper Beam was enough as Kingler's eyes rolled back. The Pincer Pokemon had been defeated as its body was shrinking back to its normal size with all the Dynamax particles flying in the air.

"KING...KING...Kingler?" When returning to its original size, a Dynamax Pokemon does not faint. They still retain their consciousness. And the same can be said for Kingler who was looking around its surrounding area, confused. But at least, it was no longer in a fit of rage now. Eternatus's influence left its body once it was defeated.

As such, Kingler just got on with its day, unsure of what happened before as it walked off. "Kingler."

"Phew." Twilight let out a sigh of relief. "Disaster averted. Nice work, Eve."

"Espeon." Eve hopped off Salamence's back as the Dragon Pokemon returned to Spike.

"Great job, Salamence." Spike grabbed Salamence's face.

"Mence!"

"That's it? Hm. That wasn't too bad." Starlight chuckled nervously. "I was expecting the worst to happen."

"And here I thought a crisis was about to occur." Nyx was about to leave until the voice of somepony else had grabbed her attention.

"There's a crisis going on!" Pinkie Pie's voice shouted out as she, Rarity and Applejack arrived for Twilight specifically. "All over Equestria! Huge Pokemon! King- Oh. Kingler's not here anymore. I thought we saw it from the distance."

"We took it out. Just the two of us." Spike grinned as he felt proud of his victory.

"Wait, Pinkie Pie. Say that again. Before Kingler." Twilight went up to her.

"Oh, right. Ahem. So like, there's a bunch of Dynamaxed Pokemon scattered across Equestria and we're not really sure how many there are." Pinkie put her hooves together. "And Kingler's just one of them."

"There could be other Dynamaxed Pokemon terrorizing Equestria as we speak. So we came to you for help." Rarity said.

"I thought this was the only Dynamax power spot here. You mean to tell me there's more?!" Twilight raised her voice.

"Yep." Pinkie nodded.

"Not good." Twilight bit her hoof. "The Darkest Day might as well be real right about now! Where was the next place you saw a power spot?!"

"Uh...the nearest one looks like it's right over at Deerling Forest. The others are a bit further away." Pinkie answered.

"Twilight. Is this really the Darkest Day like Sonia described?" Applejack asked.

"It might as well be. Absol showing up just further proves that. The only thing missing is a great black storm."

"Absol? Isn't that the Pokemon that can predict bad stuff?" Pinkie tilted her head. "I thought those were super rare. You saw one?"

"I sure did. And that is never a good sign if Absol appears. Do Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash know about the Dynamax power spots too?!"

They've most likely seen it as well. And the Kingler being seen by all of Ponyville only grabbed their attention even further." Rarity replied.

"Okay...Here's what we'll do. If there's a bunch of Dynamax Pokemon scattered across Equestria, then we'll have to stop by every area and defeat the Pokemon there. What was the closest area again? Deerling Forest?"

"And after that, it looks like the next one is right over at Dodge Junction." Applejack responded.

"Then it's Deerling Forest first and after that, Dodge Junction. But this time, we're not rushing in blind. We're calling Ash for help." Twilight used her magic to take out her XTransceiver to contact Ash for assistance.

And speaking of Ash, he and Goh were at Cerise's lab like always, planning on heading out to another region for a brand new journey, until Ash's Xtransceiver went off.

"Hm? Twilight's calling?" Ash looked at his transceiver answering the call. "Yeah?"

"Ash! There are Dynamax Pokemon all over Equestria! We need help!" Twilight summarized their problem in a few words.

"Dynamax Pokemon in Equestria?!" Ash gasped.

"Pikachu?!"

"That's not possible." Professor Cerise went up to Ash. "Dynamax only exists in the Galar Region and nowhere else. How could it be in the other world?"

"No idea, Professor Cerise. But it's here. We've just got done defeating a Gigantamax Kingler and were heading out to find the others. We need a lot of help if there are too many."

"Alright. We'll be there. Sorry, Goh. Guess our trip to Sinnoh's gonna be put on hold."

"That's fine. This is more important anyways. Besides...this could be an opportunity to catch some new Pokemon!" Goh exclaimed.

"Okay! Let's go!"

"You two be careful now. Dynamax Pokemon are no joke whatsoever." Cerise shook his head.

"We will! We'll be back soon, Professor Cerise!" Ash and Goh ran off, leaving Cerise Labs in a hurry as Cerise, his assistants and Chloe watched them jet off.

"There's always something dangerous happening in that world, isn't there?" Chloe spoke.

"Well, the other world isn't built for Pokemon. But so far, new areas have been formed thanks to our worlds crossing over. I can safely say that someday, their world will eventually adjust to the Pokemon themselves. Whenever that day arrives."


The Crystal Empire. Currently dealing with a Dynamaxed Sableye who's on an enraged rampage.

The citizens of the Crystal Empire made a run for it, retreating into their homes and whatever nearby building they could enter in as the Darkness Pokemon had set foot in the empire.

"SABLEYE!"

The only ones not screaming in fear and panic were the royal guards and Shining Armor. Although, this sudden arrival of Sableye made Flurry Heart break into tears.

Cadence stayed outside since she had the only Pokemon here that was strong against Sableye. Her Sylveon.

"Sylveon! Use Moonblast!" Cadence commanded.

"Veon!" The Intertwining Pokemon spread its feelers wide open with an image of the moon appears behind her. She then formed an orb of pink energy in front of her mouth, shooting it at the Dynamaxed Pokemon.

Sableye was about to grab somepony's home to devour it completely. However, that was put to a screeching halt by Moonblast hitting the Darkness Pokemon square in the face.

"SABLE!" Sableye held its face after taking a super-effective hit such as that one. The Darkness Pokemon fell on its back, sitting on the ground as everything quaked.

That one single Moonblast seemed to be enough to take out Sableye since even if it was Dynamaxed, Sableye was still a fairly fragile Pokemon.

"Nice, work! Use Moonblast one more!"

And again, Sylveon sent Moonblast towards Sableye who was just getting back up.

However, Sableye was a smart Pokemon in which it knew not to fall for the same trick again.

Once the Darkness Pokemon stood up, it used Fury Swipes to claw the Moonblast away, causing the Fairy move to fly off, hitting a nearby building in the process.

"SABLEYE! Now aware that there was an opposing Pokemon attacking it, the Dark-Ghost-Type continued its enraged rampage, now more angered than ever after the first Moonblast.

Sableye had used Fury Swipes on the buildings, destroying parts of them, just to get itself some crystals to devour.

The huge chunks of crystals fell from above, making a loud crashing sound whenever they landed. Luckily, the citizens weren't outside for this.

But unfortunately, somepony's home had been ruined along with the guards who were outside and had almost been crushed by the incoming crystals.

Sableye went on to the next building, destroying parts of it as well as the ponies no longer felt safe inside of their own homes or whatever building there is. All the while, Sableye held some crystals in its hands, devouring them for itself.

"Sylveon! Use Moonblast one more time!"

"Sly..."

"Sable!" Sableye spotted a third Moonblast coming its way. It used the remaining crystals in its hands to toss them directly at Sylveon.

"Veon?!" Sylveon gasped as she saw sharp crystals flying towards her at high speeds. She ducked for cover, but thankfully, Cadence got in the way, using her magic to catch the crystals.

But Sableye had more where that came from.

Instead of using tiny sharp crystals, it switched up by using the huge chunks of crystals it had gathered. The Darkness Pokemon lobbed the chunks as if they were baseballs, going straight for the princess and her Pokemon.

"Ah!" Cadence gasped as she placed a protective barrier around her and Sylveon. The chunks crashed onto the barrier, breaking apart upon contact as it was a successful defensive spell.

Seeing how Cadence's magic was going to be a problem, Sableye decided to get up close and personal instead of attacking from afar. And as a bonus, it'll have the chance to devour the Crystal Heart and the castle as well.

The guards attempted to stop Sableye by tossing their spears at the Darkness Pokemon. But unfortunately, being Dynamaxed makes a Pokemon's body tougher.

And Sableye was already a hard Pokemon due to parts of its body being made out of sharp gemstones. As such, the spears broke upon contact, barely even phasing it.

The guards scattered as they avoided Sableye's footsteps, whilst the Darkness Pokemon gradually approached the castle and the heart.

Everypony looked outside of their windows, seeing nothing but a huge purple figure walking by, shaking the entire empire itself with the sounds of gemstones hitting the ground.

Sableye's shadow loomed over the castle, blocking out Cadence and Sylveon's view of most of the sky as Sableye's red aura lit up the empire once it got close enough.

"SABLEYE..."

"Get ready Sylveon..." Cadence gulped as her Sylveon was prepared to do her very best. The size difference was intimidating, but that wouldn't stop these two from trying.

Shining Armor looked over at Sableye and then right at the Poke Ball that held his Honedge. "Come on, Honedge. Please this one time, help us out."

Wanting his partner to at least cooperate, Shining Armor sent the Sword Pokemon out for assistance.

"Hone!" Once Honedge came out, it immediately went for Shining Armor, ready to possess him once more. But since this has happened so frequently, Shining Armor can predict as he used his magic to hold Honedge in place. "Edge?!"

"Honedge! Now is not the best time! There's something more important at the moment! Look!" Shining Armor moved Honedge to the direction where Sableye was at.

The Sword Pokemon saw how a Dynamaxed Pokemon was all of a sudden just here at the Crystal Empire, enraged, confused and hungry for some crystals.

"Honedge?"

"This Sableye might end up eating the entire Crystal Empire with that size. And we might accidentally get caught up in its buffet. So could you please help us out? Just this one time?"

"Edge!" Honedge asked why it should listen to him. The Crystal Empire isn't that important to the Sword Pokemon at all. So if Sableye destroys the entire empire, it wouldn't care at all.

And Shining Armor knew that. However, there was one way he could convince Honedge to chime in. And it involved Kartana who once came here to the Crystal Empire.

"You know...This could be a perfect time to test your sword skills."

"Hone?"

"Don't you remember how you lost to Kartana? You seemed pretty upset that you lost so badly."

"Edge!" That hit a soft spot in the Sword Pokemon's non-existent heart.

"If Kartana comes back, your skills aren't gonna have any major changes and you'll just end up losing again. Unless you test it out against that thing."

"Honedge!" Honedge wanted to prove Shining Armor wrong. Losing to Kartana was humiliating due to how fast it was. Since Honedge used to be a human who is now possessed by its own sword, it was a great and prideful warrior back in its time.

And being a great warrior meant that it takes its losses very seriously. As such, Honedge's inner human came out as it yearned to improve its skills so that it never loses a battle ever again.

Shining Armor had managed to finally get Honedge to do something and listen to him. "Yes! Finally! Alright, Honedge. Just follow my lead and I'll make sure you cut things real good."

"Honedge!"


Ponyville.

Ash and Goh arrived at Ponyville to meet with Twilight and the others who were already prepared to set off to Deerling Forest to stop this unexpected crisis.

They knew about the situation but had no idea how large it was at the moment. All they knew was that a Dynamaxed Pokemon could level Equestria in a few minutes considering how they're already dangerous enough in their normal states.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy joined in as well since they had seen the power spot from the Pokemon House and up in the sky. They all weren't sure what they were getting themselves into since there was more than one Dynamax Pokemon around as opposed to the single Drednaw last year.

Not wasting any time, they made their way towards Deerling Forest by having Ash's Dragonite and Goh's Flygon carry the ones who couldn't fly. The trains were currently blocked off since there were giant Pokemon running around.

But they weren't the only ones headed straight for Deerling Forest. Absol was approaching the location as well. He was determined to get there before any of the Pokemon at the forest interact with the power spot.

To gain a faster momentum, Absol jumped off of hills with gracious speeds, cutting down anything that stood in his way by using Night Slash.

Compared to other Absol's this particular one doesn't just warn others about disasters, but instead, takes action to prevent the disaster from happening. Although, this was far beyond any earthquake or hurricane that all Absol's usually sense.

Absol and the others weren't too close to each other but they were all heading for the same location.

However, with Twilight, she had suddenly gained yet another splitting headache out of nowhere as she held her head whilst flying in the air. She stopped flying, staying in midair as her friends turned to her.


"Ngh!" Twilight winced as she curled up.

"What's wrong, Twilight?!" Rarity gasped.

"It's happening again!" All this pain only made her lower herself to ground level. She got on the ground, holding her head as she was unsure why this pain had suddenly come back.

Her friends came back down with Salamence and Dragonite as they ran over to the young alicorn. Twilight's Pokemon surrounded her, worried about their trainer's sudden outburst of unexpected pain.

"What's happening?! Did something hit her?!" Starlight looked up in the sky.

"This has happened before...!" Twilight groaned as she writhed around in agony, laying on her back. Once again, like last night, she had gained visions of one single thing. That being the Mega Evolution symbol.

But after seeing a vision of that, the pain had simply gone away once more. Twilight breathed in and out as she was glad that the pain had vanished but now she had even more questions on why it showed up yet again.

She stood back up, taking some time to relax. "Why did it happen again?"

"Twilight! Are you okay now?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Does it hurt anywhere else?!" She moved around Twilight, using a magnifying glass to investigate.

"I'm fine now...but I'm not sure about later on."

"Wait. You said that this has happened before." Rarity spoke. "Why is that?"

"About that...Last night, when I was returning Applejack's repaired Xtransciever, a weird pain just started coming to me out of nowhere. It hurt less the first time but it lasted much longer."

"Out of nowhere? How's that possible? Was it an invisible Pokemon?" Fluttershy asked.

"Not sure but, at the same time, I saw Absol show up in Ponyville. And the pain only got worse from there on."

"You saw an Absol?" Ash said.

"Pika?"

"But now it's just gone." Twilight looked at her hoof. "I'm not sure why it happened a second time. And all I keep seeing is the Mega Evolution symbol."

"Sounds pretty weird." Pinkie nodded. "Weirder than usual."

"Whatever it is, I hope it's not frequent." Twilight sighed. "Come on. Deerling Forest isn't too far away from here."

They all continued on their way to Deerling Forest which was only a few miles ahead. Twilight's unknown pain hadn't come back up, but she knew that it might reappear once more without any warning. Ninetales put his tails over Twilight, giving her a nice shade and comfort.

"Tales."

"Thanks, Ninetales." Twilight smiled.

"Look. We're here." Goh pointed forward, revealing to everypony that they've finally arrived at Deerling Forest. With all the Deerling's present here, none of them have grown due to Dynamax. Neither have the Sawsbuck's.

The Deerling's and Sawsbuck's were just getting on with their day, taking in the nice soothing breeze and drinking some water right next to some of the Water Pokemon.

"It all looks fine and dandy" Applejack moved her head around. "No Dynamax Pokemon here."

"I'm not sure if the Deerling and Sawsbuck's have even noticed the power spot," said Fluttershy.

"Well if they have then they are probably wise enough to know not to go near them whatsoever." Rarity nodded.

"At least we know that-" Twilight's words were cut off when for the third time in a row, she felt that same sharp pain once more. "Ugh! Not now! Not again!" She got on the ground clenching her teeth.

"It's happening again?!" Rainbow Dash gasped.

"Audi! Try using Heal Pulse!" Fluttershy commanded.

"Audino." Audino put her hands out, sending a pulse of pink energy through Twilight in hopes of healing her. However, not even Heal Pulse could stop the pain. "Dino?!"

"I think this is more serious than it looks! M-Maybe you should get back home, Twilight and rest up." Spike uttered.

"No I-" Twilight's pain once again, just stopped abruptly, bringing her back to full health. "Her eyes widened as she stood up, perplexed about all of this. "It's gone again. Why does this keep happening?"

The curiosity of Twilight's unknown and unpredictable pain had now circled the thoughts of all her friends. They've never heard of a pain that just comes out of nowhere and ends in an instant as if nothing happened.

Twilight herself didn't know what to think. She wasn't sure if this unexplained pain was the cause of something she ate or from a past event.

That is until she saw a familiar face once more, right over at the right side of the forest. Twilight turned her head to that side to spot none other than Absol who had also recently arrived at Deerling Forest.

"Absol...?" Twilight spoke as she and Absol once again locked eyes. And the Disaster Pokemon still had his steely gaze on him.

"Oh, so that's Absol!" Goh took out his dex, scanning Absol.

"Is that what it looks like? It's much different than I thought it would look." Rarity commented.

"And it's got pretty scary looking eyes!" Pinkie hid behind Applejack.

"Wait." Twilight thought for a moment, looking over at Absol as she put some pieces together. "The times when I had that unknown pain, Absol was there. The first time when we met and now that it was nearby this entire time..."

"You think your pain might have something to do with Absol?" Ash replied.

"I'm not sure." Twilight shook her head. "Let me try and talk to Absol." The young alicorn went over to the Disaster Pokemon who sharpened his eyes at her. The eyes made Twilight pause for a moment as she saw that Absol wasn't keen on letting her come close.

"Absol...!" The Disaster Pokemon growled at her.

"Esp!" Being the protective Pokemon they were, Eve, Ninetales and Minccy got in front of Twilight, making sure that Absol doesn't plan on attacking her all of a sudden.

"Sol." Absol turned his head, not paying the three of them any mind.

"Fluttershy. Can you talk to it? It's the one who potentially sensed this Dynamax crisis coming up." Twilight asked.

"I'll try." Fluttershy fluttered over towards the Dark-Type. Absol didn't just give Twilight a fierce look, but also Fluttershy, who was hesitant to get closer at first. After swallowing up her fears, she approached Absol, ready to speak to him.

"Absol?"

"Um, Absol. Is it true that you sensed the Dynamax crisis incoming?" Fluttershy asked him. Absol barely gave a response to her. All he really did was nod his head. "Oh, I see. Then are you here to help stop it by any chance?"

"Absol." Absol looked over at the spot where he could sense and see the Dynamanx power spot coming from. He told Fluttershy that he's going across Equestria to stop other Pokemon from interacting with the dens.

Deerling Forest was the one area where none of the Pokemon touched the power spot yet or even got near it.

"That's great! So you're helping stop this crisis from spreading!" Fluttershy grinned, but Absol gave her a knife-like glare, causing the pegasus to hide behind her Audino. "Oh, um! Yay..."

"Absol. I wanted to ask you something." Twilight spoke. "My sudden sharp pains. They only showed up when I first met you and when you were nearby, heading here to Deerling Forest as well. Do you have any idea why that's the case?"

"Sol. Absol."

"Absol says that's he's not sure. But he's been having visions of a strange symbol recently along with less-sharp pains that barely hurt him." Fluttershy translated.

"I saw the visions too!" Twilight pointed at herself. "And you've been feeling a sudden pain as well?!"

"So it really is connected." Rarity waked up to the two. "But how come it's between the both of you?"

"Not sure. But right now, I don't feel a thing." Twilight replied. "Maybe it could have something to do with Absol's horn. Perhaps you were trying to warn me, right?"

"Sol." Absol couldn't confirm that he was trying to communicate with Twilight. But he was sure that for whatever reason, he and Twilight suffer the same pain and keep on seeing symbols in their eyes. Absol was a bit weirded out by the young alicorn as he was off to continue his goal of stopping the crisis.

"Absol wait!" Twilight called for his name. "Let us help you!"

"Sol?"

"We all have the same goals as you after all. Maybe we can help stop this crisis together and not just on your own. I mean, I'd imagine it would be difficult to do all of this on your own?" Twilight smiled.

"Abs..." Absol winced back a bit. He had never met a pony like Twilight before. Then again, Twilight was the first-ever pony he met when he passed through the gateway and arrived at Equestria.

For years, Absol has been chased off by those who believe he was the one who brought disasters. As such, very few out there offer to help him. And the ones that do help him are mostly Pokemon.

But seeing how Twilight and her friends who even had humans among them were willing to actually assist Absol in its efforts to stop the crisis was a different kind of experience.

"Sol." By feeling their good-hearted nature and how intoxicating their smiles are, Absol reluctantly accepted their help by looking to the side.

"It's a deal!" Fluttershy flew up.

"Great! Let's do it together, Absol." Twilight put her hoof out. But Absol denied it without putting his paw out as he walked off. "Okay, that's fine. You're not up for that."

With the assistance of Absol who was now a temporary acquaintance, the group continued on their goal to stop the sudden Dynamax Crisis. Deerling Forest was clear and safe since the Deerlings were told by the Sawsbuck's not to go near them whatsoever.

However, other areas in Equestria still have Dynamaxed Pokemon running around with a hefty amount of them. And each one of them could end up destroying everything around them as the journey continues.


Chapter 272 end.
