My Little Pokémon

by Amarvax


Escape from the Empress. Purity Chrysalis

Empress Twilight's world. Canterlot Palace. Upstairs.

Currently, The Empress was standing before Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike, Sunset and Adagio with Chrysalis on the floor, injured. The Empress had her hoof on Chrysalis' own hoof, stepping on it while a magicless Pyrestar laid down on the shattered floor. The Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie of this world were also on the floor, still drained and old as well.

"Ribombee!" Ribombee got right back up as she went for another Solar Beam. But this time, the Empress saw it coming as she some wind to knock the Bee Fly Pokemon away. Ribombee was actually on the verge of fainting this time.

"That's them over there! Us!" Pinkie pointed out the older versions of her and her friends, laying on the floor with weakened states and conditions.

"Rarity...Everyone." Chrysalis mustered up some strength to speak. "Focus on protecting these six as much as you can...!"

"U-Understood!" Rarity nodded.

"You be quiet!" In response, Empress Twilight further stomped on Chrysalis' hoof, harming her even more.

"Get your filthy hooves off of her!" Rarity bellowed. "Pheromosa, grab her, quick!"

"Phero" Cleverly commanding the fastest Pokemon here, Pheromosa bolted from the ground, moving at speeds even the Empress would need to watch out for.

"I don't need any of you since I have these 5!" The Empress roared as she used her bone magic, sprouting bones from the walls and floor as they homed in on the Lissome Pokemon.

"Mosa!" Using her great speed and amazing strength, Pheromosa shattered the bones with a swift kick, turning them into dust via Triple Kick. All the bones that came towards her were obliterated by her devastating kicks, left and right.

"Flamethrower, Salamence!" Spike commanded Salamence to burn away the bones that went towards him and the others. The Dragon Pokemon opened his mouth, burning every bone away until they were nothing but dust in the wind. Haxorus grabbed some of the bones, ripping them apart.

"Phero!" Pheromosa put her hand out, trying to grab the Elements of Harmony but was quickly shot by the Empress, right in her side. "Mosa!" The Ultra Beast cried out as she tumbled on the floor. The Empress then summoned more bones to try and hold or even pierce Pheromosa while she was still tumbling.

The Ultra Beast managed to recover as quickly as she could before kicking away at the rest of the bones that came her way. They were no issue for Pheromosa, but she noticed that they were rapidly increasing in size and speed, almost enough to keep up with her.

And Pheromosa could tell. Evading these bones was only becoming more difficult with each passing second as she still had her focus on Pyrestar and the Elements. The Lissome Pokemon jumped over some bones before kicking the ones in front of her. But, popping out near Pheromosa from the floor was another bone that was closer than ever.

"Mo!" Pheromosa gasped as she was almost caught off guard with this one bone. She quickly swayed her body to the left, evading the bone. But more and more kept coming. A seemingly endless array. The Lissome Pokemon was being overwhelmed by the number of bones coming her way.

"Pheromosa can't handle all those bones! Lopunny, assist her!" Rarity then sent out her next Pokemon to help out. The Rabbit Pokemon Lopunny's own kicking strength could do the trick.

"Lopunny!"

"Help Pheromosa and get our other selves out of there!"

"Salamence! Haxorus! Help them out too!"

"Come out, you two!" Sunset took out her own Pokemon in the form of her Braixen and Volcarona each.

"Volcarona!"

"Braixen!"

"Punny!" Lopunny and her Dragon and Fire allies nodded in unison before rushing to Pheromosa's assistance. The Empress snapped her head to the side, noticing the two Dragons, Fire-Types and Normal-Type Pokemon heading her way. She immediately sent the bones towards them as well.

"Haxo!" With brute strength, Haxorus grabbed the bones while also smashing through some of them. Lopunny used her explosive legs to also break apart the bones while Salamence melted them with Flamethrower along with Braixen and Volcarona.

"Pheromosa!" Pheromosa smiled after seeing her friends coming to her aid. With a confident smirk, she sped up, reaching close to the Elements and Pyrestar respectively. The Empress then turned to face Pheromosa, ready to summon some more bones to try and hold her.

"Sala!" But Salamence had used Hyper Beam, firing a giant blast of Infinity Energy from his mouth as it tore through the floor. The Hyper Beam hit the bones near the Empress, startling her as she was blown back by the inevitable explosion that Hyper Beam created.

That one explosion allowed Pheromosa enough time to grab Pyrestar, the Elements and even Chrysalis even though she didn't want to be grabbed. The Lissome Pokemon then bolted past the Empress, moving through the incoming bones and heading back to Rarity.

"I said to just grab them!" Chrysalis exclaimed.

"Sorry. But Pheromosa's too kind to allow that to happen. Aren't you, darling?" Rarity patted Pheromosa.

"Mosa!"

"Out of my way!" Enraged, the Empress summoned a stream of magic that was identical to a tidal wave. Even its movements matched a tidal wave. This stream of purple magic moved across the floor at high speeds, connecting with Salamence, Haxorus and Lopunny.

"Salamence?!" Salamence gasped as he could feel his body being carried by this stream while the force of multiple magic blasts were being beaten onto him. Purple sparks that seemed to materialize out of thin air from the result of the stream continuously whipped the three Pokemon.

"H-Haxo!"

"Lo!"

The stream then carried them to the air, smashing the trio of Pokemon into the walls before going after Pheromosa and the rest.

"Yikes! Mew, get rid of it with Psyshock!" Pinkie Pie screeched while hiding behind Pheromosa's tall stature.

"Mew!" Mew ascended high into the air as he put his arms out. He then formed a mass of thick light blue, blue, and purple energy and fired it at the incoming stream. The three masses of Psychic energy connected with the purple stream destroying parts of it, but not enough. It just held it back for a bit. Afterwards, it continued to go after them.

"If it acts like that...then Milotic should have no problem swimming in it! Go, Milotic!" Rarity saw an opportunity with the stream of magic as she sent her next Pokemon out.

"Milotic!"

"Swim on that stream and use Hydro Pump, Milotic! And Pheromosa! Adagio! Get them and the jar away from here as far as possible!"

"I already know that!" Adagio responded.

"Phero!" Pheromosa nodded as she immediately bolted off, holding Adagio, the Changeling Queen, Fused Alicorn and Elements of Harmony within her grasp, her shoulders and back too. Milotic herself leapt forward, making contact with the stream of water. She could feel the magic already beating on her as she swam on it, but the Tender Pokemon chose to power through it while opening her mouth for a Hydro Pump.

"Get back here!" The Empress roared as she was ready to use her teleportation spell to try and keep up with a Pokemon as fast as Pheromosa. But, before she could do so, Milotic had unleashed Hydro Pump, firing a high volume blast of water that charged right through the stream and went straight for the Empress. "!"

Startled, the Empress conjured up an immediate protection spell, shielding her from Hydro Pump. She scoffed as her rage was only building up at this point. And it showed by her magic colour visibly darkening with each passing minute.

"How about some more distractions?!" Rarity grinned before holding out 13 Poke Balls with her magic. 12 of them had Leavanny inside and 1 had Ampharos within it. By unleashing the Poke Balls, she brought out every single on her Pokemon.

"Leavanny!" The 12 Leavanny cried out.

"Ampharos!"

"Ampharos! How about we electrify the area!? And Leavanny, String Shot all at once!"

"Pharos!" Ampharos stomped on the floor, unleashing a discharge of electricity that immediately frantically scattered across the room. Meanwhile, all the 12 Leavanny opened their mouths, shooting out thick strings in multiple directions. Thanks to the Leavanny being Grass-Types, they could resist the electricity.

The Empress herself had been shocked by Ampharos' electrified field, forcing her to stay in place for a bit and take 70,000 volts of electricity through the body. That moment where her body staggered from the volts allowed the Leavanny to restrain their victim.

Multiple thick strings wrapped around the Empress' horn, hooves, neck and other parts of her body with impressive strength while the electricity kept going. The Empress was now restrained by the 12 Leavanny. All of this had allowed Pheromosa to be long gone from here.

"All of you...Just stay out of my way!" By raising her voice, the Empress unleashed the rest of her magic in the form of an outburst of purple magic. The outburst, obliterated the strings while also eradicating the electricity made from Ampharos' stomp.

"Pha?!"

"Lea?!"

Further agitated and provoked, the Empress' hair started rising as a show of increasing magic. And speaking of hair, that was her next use of magic. All of a sudden, the Empress' hair started attacking. She manipulated her own hair, swinging it around like a whip as it extended in length.

"Ampha! Ampharos and some of the Leavanny had been struck by this flowing hair, smacking them against the wall. Being hit by her hair didn't feel soft at all. It felt like being hit by a train to their surprise. The Empress continued to manipulate her, transforming them into blades.

"Haxo?!" Haxorus ducked as he avoided an incoming hair-blade that had cut the pillar behind him, slicing through it like it was nothing. The rest of the hair with blades as weapons flew towards the rest of the Empress' prey.

"Oh geez!" Spike squealed as he jumped over an incoming hair blade while Salamence and Milotic used Dragon Tail to counter the hair. Clashing with it also felt like clashing with a sword. It even made a metal sound. In fact, the Empress' hair felt like metal due to the spell she was using.

The rest of her hair scattered, flying in different directions, all having the capability to cut and smash if they made full-on contact. That is if they can be blocked.

"Mew!" Mew flew around, avoiding the hair blades as the walls were being smashed apart from the Empress' flailing hair. Ampharos himself used Power-up Punch to knock the hair-blades away. The light Pokemon also caused static electricity onto the hair-blades, making them frizz up.

The Leavanny were each using X-Scissor, Slash, Razor Leaf and other moves to try and fend off the blades as more of them kept coming. Braixen and Volcarona had burnt some of the hair-blades away with their own flames.

The Empress smirked as she hadn't forgotten about Pheromosa and Adagio. While using her hair, she used the miniature eye spell to track the Lissome Pokemon down. Due to all the chaos happening within the palace, even the speedy Pheromosa was finding it hard to move around the place. The Empress still had time before Pheromosa could pass through the gateway.

"Excellent!" She said to herself while increasing the aggressiveness of her hair. They flailed around, growing in size as this entire area and anything nearby was being obliterated by her hair of all things. Some of the Pokemon had been knocked as it was getting harder to deal with all these hair-blades.

"This is getting ridiculous!" Spike backed up while looking at the rampant hair movements. Volcarona had been hit out of the sky by the hair, tumbling on the floor while Braixen caught her.

"We'd have to cut her entire hair off if we want to stop this!" Sunset said while Haxorus held some of the hair with his bare claws, trying to prevent them from hitting anyone else.

"Hm...Aha!" Pinkie Pie sprouted an idea in her head. "I got it! Mew! Transform into Bisharp!"

"Mew-Mew!" Mew understood what Pinkie Pie was going for. A clever choice. The New Species Pokemon spun around with his body glowing. And just like that, with a quick body change and shape alteration, he had emerged as the Sword Blade Pokemon Bisharp. "Bisharp!"

And it was soon discovered why Pinkie Pie chose Bisharp. When the giant blades of hair went straight for Mew, the sharp body of Bisharp had actually automatically cut the hair apart without Mew having to do anything.

"What?!" The Empress exclaimed after witnessing her hair do nothing to Mew.

"Haha!" Pinkie Pie cackled. "Bisharp's entire body is just nothing swords everywhere! Anything's gonna be cut apart without even having to do anything! Standing around eve works too! So hah!"

"Bisharp!"

"Hmph." But the Empress merely scoffed at that. It wasn't like she didn't have other options. Aside from the sharpness and flailing, she had another alternative to her Hair Spell.

Unexpectedly, to everyone's surprise, the Empress had suddenly lit her hair up with fire, gaining a blazing mane of all things. And that was a red flag for Mew. While he may be unphased by the metal thanks to him being a Bisharp now, the flames are certainly a problem since he owns the Steel-Typing in this form.

"Are you kidding me!?" Pinkie Pike pulled her mane as Mew had been whipped by the blazing mane, taking heat damage through his steel body while also being knocked back.

"B-Bisharp!"

"Milotic! Put it out with Hydro Pump!" The Tender Pokemon opened her mouth, shooting a giant pump of water towards the flaming mane to try and put the fire out. But when the stream of water approached the hair, the Empress made her hair split apart, causing Hydro Pump to miss. Afterwards, she struck Milotic with her flaming mane while aggressively swinging it around once more. "Milo!"

"Duck!" Sunset called out as everyone ducked for cover from the flailing manes. But ducking wouldn't help either as the mane could go everywhere. In fact, the flames were setting fire to the floor and walls while also breaking them apart.

Like wildfire, everything was spreading at a rapid pace. Soon, a red tint filled the air as the atmosphere being burned apart by the flames. The heat being exuded was equivalent to standing near a volcano. Not a pleasant heat to be nearby as everyone, minus Braixen and Volcarona was starting to sweat.

"It's not safe to be here right now!" Sunset said. Everyone responded to Sunset's words as they agreed that staying in this fire zone would just end up resulting in less than pleasant outcomes. Mew transformed back into his normal self as everyone made the conscious decision to run.

"I don't think so!" But not while the Empress was still present. While the flames burned and spread across the area, the Empress pulled her hair back, reverting it to its normal size. That's when she used her next spell.

By lighting her horn, she manipulated something else that no one expected. Yet again, the Empress was full of surprises with all these spells as something new was materializing out of thin air.

Paper.

Of all things.

However, just like how she can weaponize her own wair and make it dangerous with the addition of fire, the Empress could most certainly make paper dangerous as well. She watched as Rarity and the others fled the scene of flames. With a slight snicker, Empress Twilight formed millions of paper before commanding them to chase after the group. As for the Empress herself, she would allow the paper itself to deal with Rarity's group while she went after Pheromosa.

And with the eye spell, she had tracked the Lissome Pokemon down, leaving the paper to deal with everything else. And possibly, the paper might find Pheromosa too since it had a mind of its own. This was far from over in her eyes.

As for the paper, it zoomed across the hallways of the castle, immediately tracking down Rarity's group as they even took the form of origami birds. Some of them at least as they flapped their paper wings about. Some of the paper grazed the wall as they were sharp enough to even cut parts of the walls off, leaving a horrible paper cut that no one would want.

"Hm?" And the first to hear the sound of paper was Pinkie Pie as she turned her head, looking behind her. And right behind her group were flying pieces of paper, pursuing them. Truly, this day was just getting weirder with seemingly no end. "Paper?!"

"Paper?" Rarity and the others said after hearing Pinkie Pie word's before they also turned around, witnessing the approaching paper. "Paper?!"

Before they knew it, the paper sped up with a few hundred of them launching themselves at the ponies, Pokemon and baby dragon. The papers performed a dive bomb and that was appropriate because not only did they dive, but they also blew up surprisingly, right near the group as well.

Not only could they cut, but they could explode because of course, they could. Pinkie Pie and the others had their hearts jump as they were startled by these explosions.

"They explode!?" Spike screeched while on Salamence's back. The explosions from the paper shook the room, causing rubble to fall from above, forcing Salamence and Mew to fly carefully.

Some of the paper then started taking the form of creatures. Mainly two. A wolf and a hawk. One for the floor and the other for the air as they ran and soared towards their prey.

"Hyper Beam, Salamence!"

"Sala!" Salamence quickly turned his head around, releasing a huge blast of Infinity Energy from his mouth, right towards the paper. The Paper Hawk had lost some of its body as it had been obliterated by Hyper Beam. However, after being obliterated, the Paper Hawk simply repaired itself by borrowing some paper from the Paper Wolf, adding some of it onto itself. It was as if a part of it was never blown away.

The Paper Hawk then flapped its wings, sending explosive paper aeroplanes back at Salamence. Instead of combusting when coming in contact with something, they chose to just blow up if they were close enough. And once they did so, anyone near it felt the shockwave, especially Sunset and her Pokemon.

"Braix!"

"Vol!" Sunset and her Pokemon tumbled on the floor after recovering the explosion from nearby. The reach on it was just that impressive from even a faraway distance.

"Leavan!" Thankfully, the Leavanny used their strings to grab Sunset, Braixen and Volcarona, saving them from slowing down. The strings were then pulled in as Braixen latched onto the back of a Leavanny while Volcarona managed to regain her aerial momentum thanks to the Nurturing Pokemon.

"Paper is weaker when wet! Milotic, Hydro Pump!"

"Lotic!" The Water-Type temporarily stopped slithering for a moment to properly utilize Hydro Pump. She pulled her head back before unleashing a wide stream of water. One that was heading for both the hawk and wolf.

Both the Paper Hawk and Paper Wolf had been struck by Hydro Pump's high volume pressure with an explosive outburst of water emerging from the collision. Just as Rarity said, with water making it wet, the paper was at a much weaker state. Easier to tear down.

Thanks to Hydro Pump, the Paper Hawk was unable to gain momentum with bits of its wings being ripped off from the wetness. Very soon, the hawk itself was falling apart. It was made worse since it couldn't borrow any paper from the wolf since it was also wet. The remaining papers that weren't wet were very few. Not enough to fully restore them both considering their size.

So, to make sure that they aren't destroyed, the Paper Wolf and Paper Hawk chose to find new paper as they dispersed the papers that hadn't been struck by Hydro Pump while the rest fell to the ground, ripping apart.

"There they go fleeing! Excellent work, Milotic!" Rarity congratulated her partner.

"Milotic!"

"Quick! We need to find the Empress before she gets to Pheromosa!" Sunset said. "And if she gets that jar, all of the magic inside of it will be hers!"

"Right! Let's have some better speed then." Spike looked at his Mega Bracelet before tapping on it. He chose to Mega Evolve his Salamence since Salamence was an even faster Pokemon in his Mega Form, that's for sure. "Mega Evolve, Salamence!"

"Salamence!"


"Mosa!" Pheromosa came to a screeching halt before one of the many large vehicles of this Empire. Multiple magic rays were being fired all around her as it was getting harder to move around the castle.

Pheromosa broke through the walls with her kicks, trying to find the right place to exit this palace. She was also searching for windows that went outside. She kept kicking her way through all the walls she came across while also knocking away some troops in the process.

"Hey! Right there!" Adagio pointed her hoof downwards at a large hole made by this constant battling between both sides. Through that hole, she spotted a window that led to the outside of the palace.

"Phero!" A smile graced the Ultra Beast's face as she was already ready to jump through the hole and starting dashing to the nearest gateway here. AKA, the only gateway here.

However, as she went towards the hole, holding everypony with her, her body was suddenly outlined in a dark purple aura before she was promptly stopped in place. Everypony included. And it was done right in mid-air as well. "Mosa?"

"You!" The Empress spoke as she emerged from the shadows with Pheromosa and Adagio looking behind. "Return what belongs to me! Immediately!"

"Forget that!" Adagio gave a retort by shouting. "Like I'd let you have all of this power!"

"What? So you can have it for yourself, Adagio Dazzle? I think not!" The Empress raised her voice, stomping both her hooves on the as she used her magic to smash Pheromosa and Adagio against the walls.

"Phe!"

"Ugh!"

"Mosa...!" Pheromosa had one eye closed as she stomped on the floor before erupting up a huge piece of rubble. She then smashed her foot on the large rubble, sending it towards the Empress.

But, the Empress obviously obliterated it with a light blast Pheromosa continued to run, jumping right through the hole that Adagio had spotted. The Empress refused to let them escape from her sights at all. So, to really stop them, the Empress herself used another spell that used up a ton of magic. Not as much as the Gravity Spell, but enough to have the Empress perform something abnormal.

While Pheromosa jumped through the hole, performing a stylish landing, she set her eyes on the window, immediately rushing towards it as she was going to smash right through the window with her amazing kicks.

"As I said...you're nothing but nuisances rather than threats." The Empress declared as she pulled off one of her biggest spells yet. With a flash of her horns, eyes and body, the Empress had used the spell that Celestia and the others feared she would use.

The spell that the older Flurry Heart stole from the book it originated from. The spell made by the Queen Chrysalis of another world and the perfect way to catch opponents off guard.

The World Pirouette Spell.

With all of her magic being used, the Empress initiated the world-changing spell. A purple light immediately spread across the area at speeds beyond lightspeed, faster than even Pheromosa could react. However, since she was missing a majority of her magic, the spell had its limitations. It couldn't affect the world anymore. But it was still something to behold. Like a virus, it spread out, covering the floor entirely.

Not just the floor, but the whole palace too. From the throne room, laboratories, dungeon, other rooms, courtyard and beyond. It even stretched out to the outside as it wasn't showing any signs of stopping.

"Mosa?" Pheromosa was the first to notice this as she was suddenly stopped in place. This purple light prevented her from doing anything but just standing in one position without being able to move at all. She could still move her arms but her legs were a no go. "Pheromo!?"

"W-What is this?!" Adagio looked down at the floor while also looking at the window, seeing that Pheromosa was so close to breaking out of this palace.

"The World Pirouette Spell..." Chrysalis groaned as she recognized the spell. Even though she wasn't the Chrysalis that made the spell, thanks to the book the older Flurry Heart took, she recognized its initiation process and how it appears when used. "She's changing the geography of the world itself..."

"W-What?!"

"Quick! Adagio. Give me some of the magic in the jar. To replenish my own magic! It's possibly the only way I can prevent what may come next!"

"..." Adagio looked at the jar and the floor beneath her. She then saw that everything around the castle was starting to sink into the purple field. A dark purple light covered the sky itself, blocking out the clouds and even the sun as everything was being covered by this light.

Everyone on both sides immediately stopped what they were doing as they all noticed the light coming towards us. The battle had paused for a bit as they were all caught up in this giant enchantment. Seeing how big things were getting, Adagio understood Chrysalis' choice as she opened the jar, allowing some magic to come out. But the moment she opened it was the same time that the entire palace, this whole empire and soon the entirety of Equestria was covered by nothing but a dark purple glow.

The Empress smirked as she was the only one able to move within this enchantment as she approached Adagio's group. While she couldn't see them since the dark purple light had consumed them, she still had a good idea where they were as everything around her sank as if they were being pulled in by an endless void. The whole country was being flipped over.

No one could do anything to prevent this. Their legs were unresponsive to this. Even the pegasus and Pokemon could fly or stay airborne were exempt since the light even covered the skies and everything around it. Soon, all were sinking into the light.

"W-What's going on?!" Rainbow Dash was like she was a statue as she could only move her hooves. Braviary, Altaria and Castform couldn't move either along with Applejack and the others

"C-Can't move!" Applejack groaned as Sceptile used his vines, wrapping them around everyone and on the nearest pillar to try and hold them all together. But it was no use. Nothing could escape the pull of this spell.

Not even Ash, Twilight or Celestia. Ash held onto the Staff of Sir Aaron while he was being pulled into the void with his friends. Celestia immediately recognized this.

"She used the spell now?!" Celestia gasped as Passion tried using Psychic to keep everything still. It worked for a brief moment as Passion was able to hold Celestia and the others in place, preventing them from descending into the light and heading somewhere random.

But, this wouldn't last as the light was only expanding and increasing in pull strength, forcing Passion to put her back into it. Celestia chimed in by using her own amplified magic which engulfed everyone in a solar and cosmic light while Ash utilized Aura.

Everywhere had been succumbed to the World Pirouette Spell. This behemoth of spell however had a major drawback that the Empress would never have to suffer if a majority of her magic wasn't taken away. Luna and Skyblue Shine put their battle on pause as their Pokemon and themselves were caught up in the light.

"So this is your decision, Empress?" Skyblue Shine looked around.

"Curse it all! Completely motionless!" Luna growled as even Darkrai couldn't use the shadows to escape from this pull. No one could.

Back with Pheromosa, even though she and everyone were sinking, this didn't stop the nearby troops from attacking. While their back hooves were unresponsive, the front hooves were still active. The same goes for those who have claws, arms and other upper and front limbs. At least for now. From the time they had left in this spot, the vehicles that many of the soldiers rode aimed the weapons over at Pheromosa, shooting magic rays over at the Lissome Pokemon while she was immobile.

"Pherom?!" Pheromosa gasped as she witnessed magic rays fly at her. And this time, she couldn't just zoom at blinding speeds to avoid them or even kick them away. She had to stay there and take it as the Ultra Beast covered her eyes. Several magical explosions happened around Pheromosa as she took this magical punishment along with the others that were near her.

"Ah...I've lost my cool too much." The Empress held her head with her hoof while approaching the area where Adagio's group were. She would also follow her group wherever they went with the spell, making this grandiose spell her ace in the hole if things are getting a bit too dicey. "And my magic is just pitiful now. Using a spell this grand doesn't make it any better. Oh well."

Feeling confident in her abilities, the Empress used her eye spell to see through the purple light that covered everything, attempting to track Adagio's group, hoping that they were in the middle of sinking or had already gone to a random place in Equestria which may require more magic usage for the Empress to really utilize the gigantic version of the eye spell.

However, the moment she used the spell, she was greeted with a sight that threw her off guard. The dark purple glow that she created had immediately shifted colours into something different. Something that wasn't the opposite of purple at all. But it was still a reverse.

Green.

More specifically, Chrysalis' green. It had her style to it.

This green light countered the purple light, overlaying it as the Empress herself had been stuck in place, unable to move her hooves or anything. But it went beyond that. The green light was not only overtaking her colour, but it even caused shockwaves around the Empress, causing her to shudder.

"W-What?!" She looked around as everything she had done with the spell was being reversed. Everything that had been flipped or sunk into the purple void was emerging and reverting to their original positions. As if nothing had happened to them originally.

And it was all thanks to Chrysalis who had received high amounts of magic from Adagio opening the jar. The World Pirouette Spell had nullified the strong pull off the jar while still allowing the magic to flow out. And once she received the magic and utilized the spell, her magic was overflowing.

All of the hidden magic potential that was hidden in her had been awakened by the jar. A burst of green and blue magic erupted in the form of a sphere as the Empress herself had been pushed back by this. She actually tumbled on the floor from all the magic exerting out of Chrysalis as the light was fading. Adagio herself had closed the jar safely thanks to the force of the World Pirouette Spell as she had witnessed something unexpected.

Chrysalis was different. Her whole look had been altered. The beautiful green and blue light sparkled like stardust and flew away like butterflies in the wind. Adagio, the Empress, Pyrestar, Pheromosa and the Elements witnessed this new Chrysalis and what the magic from the jar had done to her.

"Chrysalis...?" Adagio's jaw dropped.

"Pheromo?"

"By Faust..." Pyrestar hushed in awe as Chrysalis opened her eyes, showing its crystal-clear beauty as the shine coming from her magic alone. As if all of it was just releasing itself from how much there was. At least 50 alicorn essences had entered her body. And those 50 essences were enough to unlock her latent potential and what her love was holding.

"This is new," Chrysalis said, looking at herself at the nearest window here. "Is this what free love looks and feels like? I've been missing out."

"This shouldn't be happening...!" The Empress growled. "None of this should be happening...!"

"Pheromosa. Adagio. Go on ahead." Chrysalis turned to Adagio and the others.

"O-Okay!" Adagio nodded as she snapped out of Chrysalis' beautiful trance. Pheromosa regained her composure and picked up everyone else back up, ready to bolt off.

Frustrated, the Empress raised her Royal Canterlot Voice, choosing to inform all of her forces with a booming voice that echoed across the Empire.

"All of you! Stop Pheromosa and close the gateways immediately! Keep one for Zekrom open!"

With that message, the forces on Chrysalis' side understood what they needed to do. With a Pokemon as fast as Pheromosa, they needed to act fast as the battle on both sides continued. The larger vehicles in the air going up against the airborne Pokemon and pegasi turned their attention towards the Lissome Pokemon as Pheromosa kicked through the window, entering the outside at last.

Immediately, they all opened fire on Pheromosa once they spotted her, unleashing magical rays from their cannons while the larger vehicles on land changed directions, going after Pheromosa to try and stop her.

"Pheromo?!" Pheromosa gasped as she was met with an army of vehicles and magic blocking and preventing her advance. Multiple explosions of magic combusted in front of the Lissome Pokemon, causing strong shockwaves, that blew her back far distances. Soon, Pheromosa became the centre of attention.

But more importantly, the troops within the vehicles had used Travel Spheres, aiming at the gateway that connected to the other Equestria. The troops activated the gateway with their minds, causing a reaction to the already opened one. The incentive was to close it shut. And when two gateways from Travel Spheres meet, the result is nullification.

Every gateway to Equestria was being closed off while Pheromosa was being forced further away. Some troops from Celestia's side attempted to help Pheromosa, but the array of magical outbursts was just too aggressive for them to get past. They couldn't just rush forward, they had to find a way around them. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to do so with the gateway closing. However, before the gateways closed, new faces moved through them.

The teachers from the Pokemon World who were assisting in helping to stop this invasion had passed through. Whatever problems were happening over at Equestria, they had dealt with it and passed through the gateway.

"Oh! That was close!" Brawly gasped as he almost fell over. His body was mainly wet. Most likely from the ships, they went up against.

"Made it just in time.!" Hollow breathed in and out while Houndoom shook the water off his body.

"Houndoom!"

"Yeah...That was rough. But at least we're here..." Roxanne sighed while holding onto her guitar ever so tightly.

"And in the heart of it all! Look at all of this!" Roxanne pointed at the battle going on.

"It's nothing new that we haven't seen before." Another of the teachers who had eventually caught up, Drayden had arrived alongside some three extra additions.

Cynthia, Fantina and Volkner.

"They're all closing now. Are they going to leave the rest of their forces behind?" Roxanne asked.

"No idea." Cynthia shook her head. "But aside from that, let's do the best that we can."

And just like that, the rest of the gateways had closed at last. From all corners where the invading forces were meant to pass through. However, before they closed, a few others passed through. One of which was a Dragon-Type Pokemon. With those few humans passing through along with the single Dragon, all of the gateways had closed.

Except for one gateway that was high in the sky. That gateway was meant for Zekrom when he eventually passes through. It was especially high in the air so that all of the aerial vehicles could prevent anyone from reaching there.

"We're not a second too late." One of the humans said while speaking to a certain Dragon-Type Pokemon. "Let's go to him. It's been a while, hasn't it?"

"Dra."

"Mosa?!" Pheromosa gasped as she saw all of them close. She was then knocked back by another explosion, forcing her back into the palace as she rolled on the floor. "P-Phero!"

"This is getting ridiculous now...!" Adagio growled whilst getting up from the floor. She looked up to see the army of ships just blocking her way from all sides. At this rate, it would be impossible to get out of here. "Pheromosa! Let's find one of those Travel Spheres and-

"Garchomp, Dragon Rush!" just then, Cynthia's voice echoed out as her Garchomp stomped on the ground, covering herself in a violet draconic aura before flying into the air.

"Gar!" The Mach Pokemon, living up to her title, zoomed through the skies faster than a jet plane as she smashed into one of the ships. That one collision from Garchomp on the ship was so great that not only did the ship spin around and tremble, but it also crashed into other ships, causing a domino effect.

Everyone looked up as the ships were being smashed into each other, resulting in major damage that threw the Empress' forces off balance. Adagio then looked over, witnessing Cynthia and her Garchomp deal with their little blockade in the sky.

With that, Adagio and Pheromosa felt safe to move whilst more ships were approaching the scene, flooding the skies with their metallic appearances. The new goal was to find a Travel Sphere from any of the Empress' forces and hightail it out of here with Pyrestar and the Elements.

"Looks like the pressure is really showing itself, isn't it?" Chrysalis spoke in her new form. "Now. Let us talk about ourselves. I'm a bit eager to see what True Love is like, don't you?"

"You...!" The Empress snarled. As if everything couldn't get worse for her, it was. Her anger was just reaching critical mass at the moment. Everything was falling apart and it aggravated her to no extent. The Empress was about to explode as she let out an enraged yell before using her magic to teleport away, back to her throne room.

"Oh my." Chrysalis shifted her eyes around after the disappearance of the Empress. "I should probably inform Ash and the others of Pyrestar and the Elements. Now, where have they gone?"

Meanwhile, as the Empress returned to her throne room, she sat there, putting her hooves over her head. She had never been this frustrated in her entire life before. Nothing came close. And it seemed like it would grow even further. She hyperventilated as her stress was just building up.

"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine!" She said to herself, trying to calm herself down. "It's fine...I haven't lost yet. I can't lose! I was never fit for losing!"

"Empress!" Just then, bursting through the doors was Skybluee Shine herself. It seemed as if her battle with Luna had been put on hold. Or at least, her Pokemon were dealing with Luna as they weren't with her at the moment.

"Go away!" The Empress shouted while pulling her mane. "Go back out there and win this stupid thing already!"

"Empress!" The android rushed over to her ruler's side. "You're starting to lose your composure! You need to relax!"

"I am not!" Everything's fine! Nothing's wrong! I can win this! I should win this!" She just kept pressurizing herself.

"It's okay.." Skyblue put her hooves over the Empress in a comforting manner, using her magic to calm the alicorn down with a soothing spell. "We will win this for certain. But we will have to go through difficult moments if we wish to achieve victory in this.

"Hah..." The Empress' breathing slowed down in response to Skyblue's words and soothing spell. This was something she needed at the moment.

"I understand the invasion isn't turning out the way you wanted it to. But we still have more to offer. Our army and other forces from the world's we've conquered. There is the hope of Zekrom still and many more to be accomplished with. And even if we do end up losing, we can come back stronger from this with our next possible invasion. Better than ever and more than prepared for their world."

"Y-You're right." The Empress nodded before blinking a couple of times. Her beating heart moved at a steady and calm pace. "You're right. There's still more. Silly me. Thank you, Skyblue Shine."

"Anything to make you happy, Empress."

"There you are!" Bursting through the doors was Luna herself. Her Pokemon were back at the hallways, dealing with Skbylue Shine's Pokemon.

"Luna." The Empress said with a calmer voice this time. "You've caught me a bad time, I must say. Thanks to my wonderful and loyal subject here, I feel refreshed. Well...my magic is still missing."

"Precisely why I'm here. Maybe now in a weaker state, I can finish what I started back on that ship months ago." Luna smirked as she used her telepathic spell to communicate with her sister. She knew that even with this confidence, it would be a bit difficult to deal with the Empress still. "Sister. I'm currently engaging with the Empress right now. Have you found Pyrestar and the others?"

"No. We're here at the dungeon and they're gone. Somepony must've already beaten us here. And you're at the Empress' location?!"

"Right. I may be pushing my luck here. But if you can assist me, I would need to help now if I can receive it."

"Oh, Luna." The Empress walked up to Luna with her horn glowing a vibrant yet dark purple colour. Luna stood firmly on her hooves as the Empress approached her, shaking the throne room from just her pressure alone. "Just watch what I can give out now."


Equestria. High in the skies.

On the ship, now claimed by Team Rocket, James and the rest were close to reaching the otherworld. They weren't aware that most of the gateways had been closed by order of the Empress, however one remained. The one meant for Zekrom to pass through.

James looked at the radar as he noticed that most of the gateway signals had just up and vanished from the screen. There was just one remaining.

"Just one gateway left," James said.

"We need to hurry! Can't this thing go any faster?!" Apple Bloom shook James, worried about her sister's condition as she whimpered.

"This is as fast as it can go. Sorry that we couldn't make any momentum upgrades before we boarded the ship." James patted Apple Bloom on the head.

"But we are close aren't we?" Mayor Mare asked.

"Looks to be that way. There's one still active up north. We can hopefully make it in time to pass through. I can say a total of 5 minutes at best. And if not, we'll just steal one of those Travel Sphere things from those soldiers." James responded.

"Yeah well...Better do it quickly. I'm getting tired over here..." Silver Spoon yawned as a few other ponies were exhausted. Just then, something else picked up on the radar.

Something big.

They were just as large as the single gateway seen on the radar as they were moving rapidly, indicating that it was an entity of some sort.

"Oh! What's this?!" James stood up, looking at the two signatures.

"What happened?!" Everypony said.

"It's moving fast and at great speeds!" James gasped. "What is it?"

"Uh...It might be those two...?" Amethyst Star gulped as she pointed her hoof on the outside of the window, revealing to everyone the two entities. The cause of the signatures moving at high speeds.

Reshiram and Zekrom.

Reshiram was still pursuing Zekrom whilst Zekrom was heading back to the otherworld via the gateways to assist the Empress. All other gateways had closed except for the one high in the sky. That was where Zekrom was headed as Reshiram kept up with his speed. The two Dragons passed the ship, causing a strong wind pressure to almost knocking it off balance.

"Reshiram and Zekrom?!" Jessie gasped. "Are those two ever going to rest?!"

"They could pass through that gateway there!" Lyra noticed the direction they were heading in. "If they head there, they could totally level that Empress' place by just battling it out, right?"

"Then Applejack will get even more hurt!" Apple Bloom gasped "Please James! We need to hurry! Please!"

"Alright, alright! We'll see just how much fuel we can give out to this ship" James nodded as he gripped tightly onto the controls. He was going to push this ship's speed to its limits as much as he could.

He kicked things in high gear, full-force, maximum overdrive and everything this ship had to offer. Everyone held on tightly as James narrowed his eyes, focusing on Reshiram and Zekrom. He held his breath as he unleashed everything at once The ship's thrusters emanated a louder sound and hotter flames while also putting the ship under pressure

With this pressure, James boosted the ship, breaking it past its natural limitations. The ship moved at a quicker pace, breaking through the clouds as it followed Reshiram and Zekrom.


Frenzy Forest. Delphox's hut.

And meanwhile, over at Delphox's hut, Discord was still resting on the bed with Delphox taking care of the Spirit of Chaos. However, very soon, Discord himself was on the verge of waking up with slight twitches.

The invasion was reaching its boiling point. There can be only one possible winner in all of this and nothing more. The end result will be something to remember for years to come.

As the journey continues.
