//------------------------------// // Genesis Supernova // Story: My Little Pokémon // by Amarvax //------------------------------// The Empress' World. Her throne room. A standoff between four powerful forces and one even more powerful force was about to begin. Ash, Twilight, Celestia and Luna plus their Pokemon facing off against Empress Twilight Sparkle on her lonesome. Al the while, absolute destruction filled the Empire from the inside and outside. Reshiram and Zekrom have arrived, still battling each other along with the arrival of Team Rocket, the rest of Ponyville and Gigantamax Machamp. And every soon, a chaotic visitor will be showing up shortly. The palace itself was burning down and falling apart. Whether it was the flames, the Mega Evolved Pokemon or the battle between Reshiram and Zekrom which was moving all over the place. "Come." The Empress simply said, proving Ash and the others to attack her as her confidence was at an all-time high. And she can thank Skyblue Shine for that. "Pikachu! Iron Tail!" "Eve, Togekiss, Dazzling Gleam!" "Passion, Mystical Fire! Arcanine, Extreme Speed!" "Darkrai, Poison Jab!" "Pikachu!" And they certainly started with flying colours. Pikachu hardened his tail to match the texture of iron as he lunged forward. Arcanine went ahead of his friends by outlining himself in a flashy white aura, moving at blinding speeds. Darkrai himself also moved forward, adding poison to his claws. The Empress split herself into six copies that were all different shades of purple as the main Empress clashed her horn with Pikachu's Iron Tail. She manipulated her horn, using a spell to turn it into metal as well. She was essentially using something identical to Iron Tail. An Iron Horn would be the accurate name for it. As for the other copies, two of them put shields to block Dazzling Gleam and Mystical Fire while the rest evaded Poison Jab and Extreme Speed, but barely. "I should probably check on one thing..." The Empress said to herself, knowing about the one major issue that needed to be taken care of. She used her Royal Canterlot Voice to speak out to her subjects. "Everypony! Find Adagio Dazzle and Pheromosa! They have two things that belong to me! The Elements of Harmony and that Magic Siphoning Jar! Capture them and return them at once!" "Arcanine!" Arcanine slid on the floor, using Extreme Speed again as he struck the copy of the Empress straight in the face, knocking her back. Darkrai manipulated the shadows, causing dark claws to emerge from the shadows as they struck another copy of Empress Twilight. He then used the many claws from the shadows to try and grab the rest of the copies. The other clones used their magic to slice Darkrai's shadows apart as if they were sliced bread while also shooting magic at both Darkrai and Arcanine. The main Empress then went back and forth with Pikachu as her horn and his tail kept hitting against each other. Seeing as this was going nowhere, she used a magic pulse to push the Electric Mouse Pokemon back. "Pika!" "Electroweb, Pikachu!" "Passion, add Thunderbolt to Pikachu's Electroweb!" "Do the same, Darkrai!" "Pika-Pika-Pika!" Pikachu slid on the floor as being pushed back. He then summoned a ball of electricity which he then flung by swiping his tail. The ball transformed into a large net that hovered over the Empress and her clones. "Gardevoir!" Passion and Darkrai collectively shot Thunderbolt towards the web, increasing the power of volts within it and its size. The copies of the Empress each smiled as they all were ready to blast the web away collectively. "Dazzling Gleam!" Twilight commanded. "Espeon!" But then, Espeon had coated her body in a rainbow aura before summoning a blinding light that shined forth. The copies and the main Empress took the flash from Eve's Dazzling Gleam, causing them to be thrown off guard. "Agh!" Just as they were blinded, Pikachu's Electroweb landed on all six of them. Trapping the Empress and her copies with the force of 250,000 volts in the process. "Now, let's convert it to Plasma! Use Mystical Fire, Passion!" "Garde!" The Embrace Pokemon ascended into the air, putting both her hands together before summoning a burst of magical fire. "Voir!" Passion then sent the stream of flames down, forcing them to mix with the webs formed by Electroweb and the added electricity of Thunderbolt. The result was a high mixture of plasma that further shocked the Empress and her copies and even gave them burns in the process. The main Empress growled as she used her magic to blow the web of electricity away, breaking free of it while also pushing Passion and the others back. "Come here!" The Empress pulled off Luster Dawn's trick by summoning an array of chains. Hundreds of them this time as they all flew in multiple directions, homing in on Ash's group. Just like how they acted when they first arrived at this palace, Ash and the others scattered when the chains came their way, bolting as fast as they could. "Pikachu! Iron Tail!" "Passion, Mystical Fire!" "Pika...!" "Garde...!" Together, Pikachu and Passion had cut and melted away at the chains that came towards their Trainers. But more were still across this vast throne room that they would have to deal with. But, that was actually the least of their problems. The main Empress actually lunged at Ash and Celestia, ready to blast them both with a casual magic beam. Ash gasped as he put the Staff of Sir Aaron up, using it as a shield. Aura exuded from the staff as the Empress' horn clashed with it, creating a collision between Aura and magic. Two pulses emerged as both Ash and the Empress were forced back from it. The Empress' horn was smoking a bit from coming into contact with Aura. And she noticed this. "Tch. Accursed Aura!" She scoffed as some surprise chains had grabbed Ash and Celestia by their legs. Before they knew it, the two Trainers were then pulled by the chains, being swung across the room by them. "W-Woah!" Ash and Celestia cried out as the chains spun them around, hitting them across the pillars and even on their own Pokemon too. "Pika!" "Garde!" Celestia growled as she used amplified magic, blasting the chains apart until they were nothing but dust. Her magic was even bright enough to befuddle the Empress with her eyes. Afterwards, the Sun Princess lit her horn up, firing a magic beam from her horn which she cleaved across the throne room. The clones of the Empress had each been struck and cleaved by Celestia's beam as they were taken aback by how powerful it was. With just that one attack, not only did some of the pillars fall, but the clones vanished as well, having their bodies obliterated by Celestia's magic. The real Empress gasped as she flew over the cleaving beam, just missing it as she would've almost been struck by it like her clones. Perhaps even blown away just like them. Maybe. The Empress then looked over at Celestia, realizing what happened to most of her magic. Celestia couldn't exert this much magical power before. "So it's you that my magic was given to...!" The Empress snarled while Celestia smirked. Togekiss soared past her friends, using Sky Attack to try and attack the Empress. Now that she was on her own without her copies, it would be easier to focus on one target and not multiple. But even by herself, the Empress was formidable. As Togekiss coated herself in a golden aura, the Empress retaliated by summoning a cloud creature right in front of her. This cloud creature had the properties of lightning within it, making it similar to the Storm Behemoth that attacked Equestria months ago. "Toge?!" Togekiss gasped as the creature attempted to bite her with thunderous fangs. The Jubilee Pokemon flew to the side as the creature snapped its fangs, making the sound of thunder. "Quick Attack!" Ash and Twilight both said to their partners. "Pika-Pika-Pika!" "Esp-Espeon!" The two Pokemon moved at lightning speeds, approaching the Empress as they left trails behind. They passed the cloud creature, tackling the Empress square in the face. "Kh!" In response to being tackled in the face, while Pikachu and Espeon were still close to her, Empress Twilight used a flash-freeze spell to try and freeze both Pikachu and Espeon in place. A large gust of ice came out of her mouth as she breathed the spell on them. "Pika?!" Pikachu and Espeon gasped as they had felt a breeze go through them, pushing them back. That breeze was enough to immediately summon ice over their body, already prepared to freeze them all over. "Canine!" But, with Arcanine's heat, the ice had melted once he sparked flames around his body. Afterwards, Arcanine lunged at the Empress whilst Togekiss zoomed-in, still using Sky Attack. The Empress then stomped her hooves on the floor as the cloud creature she made attempted to both claw and bite at Arcanine and Togekiss. "Flamethrower and Mystical Fire!" "Arca!" "Gardevoir!" Both Arcanine and Passion unleashed flames of different varieties from their mouths and hands, sending them towards the cloud creature. One hit from both attacks at the same time caused the water vapour and air to be burned into ashes. The cloud creature was promptly destroyed. "Togekiss!" Togekiss' head collided with the Empress' horn which she had turned into steel. Togekiss felt vibrations through her body and immediate pain on her head after colliding with the horn. "T-Toge!" "Too bad!" The Empress taunted as she extended her hair, using it to whip Togekiss from the side as she sent the Fairy-Flying-Type hurling through the throne room. Togekiss then crashed into Arcanine afterwards. "Arc!" "To!" "Thunderbolt!" Ash and Luna said collectively as Luna ascended with her horn glowing. "Psychic!" Celestia and Twilight both commanded as they also flew into the air with Lun, lighting their horns up with magic too. In unison, two bolts of 100,000 volts, two invisible blasts of Psychic energy and three alicorn beams were sent straight for the Empress. "Impudent gnats!" Empress Twilight roared as her eyes lit up. The moment the attacks got close, she created a field of magic around her body, causing them to blow up upon contact. Afterwards, a cloud of black smoke filled the throne room with its enormous size as everyone paused for a moment. The three alicorns descended as sparks of electricity emanated through the smoke. There was a moment of silence for this battle. However, Ash's Aura then responded to the staff as he sensed something coming this way. "Look out!" Ash called out to his friends. Through the smoke, a large beam of dark purple magic came flying out. This was after Ash could sense it coming. Everyone ducked their heads as the large magic beam struck through the walls of the throne room, leaving a massive hole. The Empress then moved through the smoke, having multiple bones fly by her side as they locked on to every Trainer and Pokemon up ahead whilst the Empress went straight for her younger self. "Pikachu! Iron Tail!" "Darkrai, Dark Pulse!" "Eve! Shadow-" But before Twilight could say anything, the Empress was already close to her, shooting a magic beam at her younger self. With quick instincts, Twilight put up a circular shield around her body which the Empress just struck, either way, launching Twilight out of the throne room. The Empress then followed Twilight by soaring after her. "Twilight!" Ash and the others cried out as Darkrai pushed everyone out of the way, causing the incoming bones to miss. The bones stabbed into the walls as Darkrai made the right call at the right time. More bones kept coming as they towered over Ash and the others with imposing shadows. It was as if they were alive. As for the Twilight and her alternate older self, the Empress had pinned the young alicorn to the wall with her hoof on Twilight's chest. The young Twilight Sparke cried out as her eyes widened a bit. The hoof of her older self was being pressed on her while on the wall. The Empress had then used more of the bone magic to hold Twilight in place, pressing the bones on her hooves while also wrapping around. "There." The Empress then used a bit of Gravity on herself, making her hoof heavier, essentially giving the chances of her younger self escaping low. However, she couldn't use all of her Gravity magic since it requires a lot of magic energy to utilize the full potential of the spell. "W-Why? How did you become this?!" Twilight winced with one eye open. "How? I'm afraid that I may have not followed in the hoofsteps of other Twilight's. But I suppose I was just destined for this. After all, it was Celestia and Luna who gave me this status?" "What...?" "That's right. They decided that they wanted to retire from their positions and bestowed the status of Ruler of Equestria to yours truly. A brilliant decision and their biggest mistake yet. And I can safely say the same could happen to you. Maybe. Probably. Who knows? But, even though Ash said you'd never be like me...there's always a chance." "I'll never be like you." "Oh, you don't have to worry about that. Because I'm going to make sure that you'll never reach this future with all of your magic gone." She cackled before opening her mouth, ready to devour all of Twilight's magic for herself. Not wanting another Tirek situation, Twilight went with her first gut instinct to try and protect her magic and herself entirely. As she closed her eyes, the young alicorn then suddenly fired a magic blast right into the Empress' mouth, straight through her throat too. One connection to her throat and the Empress could feel a pain that she had never felt before. And it was inside the mouth of all places. Her pupils shrunk, time slowed down for her as her focus on Twilight had been broken, causing the young alicorn to break free by destroying the bones with her magic. The Empress herself backed away as she started coughing, gagging and hacking, putting her hoof on her neck. "Agh! Kh! Gah!" She coughed uncontrollably as he throat was now sore from that surprise beam from Twilight. "Y-You...You!" "Heh...I can play dirty too like you." Twilight smirked, mocking her older self as shook some of the bones off of her. "Forget absorbing your magic! I'll just destroy you on the spot!" The Empress roared before summoning more bones to attack the young Twilight Sparkle. "!" Twilight flapped her wings while also shooting her magic at the floor. She used the propulsion of her magic beam to send her far back, faster than she can even fly as she evaded and destroyed the bones that emerged from the floor. Some bones came up from behind, ready to pierce through Twilight in the back. "Twilight!" Thankfully, Ash had come over with Pikachu using Iron Tail to cut the bones in half. "Chu...Pika!" "Ash! Pikachu!" "Get lost!" The Empress turned to Ash and Pikachu whipping her mane while also turning it into flames. "Woah!" Ash instinctively put his staff up, utilizing Aura. He created a body coating of Aura around his body as the mane whipped onto Ash. The Aura Coating shielded Ash while also knocking the Empress' own mane back. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" "Pika...!" Pikachu jumped into the before him and the Empress clashed attacks via Thunderbolt and a blast of magic, cancelling each other out afterwards. "We'll need more help! Ninetales! Absol! Minccy! Please!" Twilight sent out the rest of her Pokemon for assistance. "Absol!" "Cinccino!" "Ninetales!" "More?" The Empress turned around as Pikachu saw an opportunity to strike. The Electric Mouse Pokemon used Iron Tail to smack her in the face, letting Empress Twilight feel the force of pure steel. "Use Hidden Power Dragon, Night Slash and Tri Attack!" "Sol!" Absol lit his horn up, rushing to the Empress while she was still staggered after Pikachu's Iron Tail. Being hit in the face with iron would obviously stagger someone. And the Empress was no exception. That stagger from Pikachu allowed Absol to get in as he slashed his horn onto the Empress with darkness streaking out. Not only did he knock her back, but she also cut a piece of her regal dress as well. "You little!" The Empress growled as she raised her voice, causing a sound shockwave that knocked Absol back. "Ab!" Absol sent flying, crashing into the wall. But even when crashing into a wall, the Disaster Pokemon found an opportunity to still attack. He unleashed Dark Pulse from his mouth while Ninetales and Cinccino both used Tri Attack and Hidden Power Dragon. The Empress then used a spell that manipulated the floor itself. She had used a sort of construct spell to create something out of the marble on the floor. From her spell, the marble shape-shifted into a giant claw that had caught the three attacks, crushing them with a powerful grip. The Empress then manipulated the rest of the throne room, constructing various objects from the walls and floor with this Construct Spell. From the walls and floors, assortments of objects had emerged, surrounding Ash, Twilight and their Pokemon from all sides. Most of them ranged from giant marble golems, cannons that shoot out spherical marbles and more that could most certainly cause harm. "She sure does know a lot...huh?" Twilight said, flying back as she and Ash were back-to-back together. "Yeah. It would be pretty nifty to learn so many spells, huh?" Ash responded. "Pikachu...!" "It would. But I think I'll take my time." Twilight gave her own reply as she and Ash were ready to take on whatever else the Empress had to offer. Outside. After receiving the Empress' message, all focus was on Pheromosa and Adagio. One had the Elements of Harmony and the other the Magic Siphoning Jar. Many of the vehicles turned to face Adagio and Pheromosa as the Lissome Pokemon was currently making a run for it. "Phero!" Pheromosa exclaimed as many magic cannons were sent her way. At the same time, Reshiram and Zekrom were still battling out, destroying the Empire gradually with each passing second. "Come on! At least give us one Travel Sphere here!" Adagio groaned while looking at the gateway high in the sky. "Hey, Pheromosa!" "Phero?" "If you can run super-fast, can't you jump really high with enough speed? Do that and pass through that gateway why don't ya?" "Mosa..." Saying that took Pheromosa back. Mostly through a trip down memory lane. Hearing about jumping high in the air reminded Pheromosa of her time in Ultra Space. The time where one of her friends gave a recommendation that could've worked, but never did. She still remembers those words from her fellow Pheromosa in Ultra Space. "I mean, it's not like we can run so fast that we can jump super high into the air and reach space. That'd be weird!" "Phero!" Remembering that, Pheromosa had found an easier alternative to just searching for a Travel Sphere amidst this chaos. She was going to jump as high as she could to pass through that gateway and get the jar away from here. The Lissome Pokemon skidded on the ground before turning to face the vehicles before her. This was a risky attempt but she had to try something. Pheromosa then bolted off the ground, charging at full speed towards the vehicles, sprinting as fast as she could. "Wait! Not towards them!" Adagio yelped as she closed her eyes. "Phero...Mosa!" Knowing that this was dangerous, Pheromosa persisted anyways. She accelerated herself a little bit more while magic rays from the cannons were shot at her. Even from above, she was being shot at. Then, with one might lunge, the Lissome Pokemon stomped on one of the vehicles, not only leaving a dent in it but also using it as a platform for a higher height. The Ultra Beast jumped high into the air, aiming to fly high up into the heavens themselves to reach the gateway. Adagio shuddered as her mane was flowing aggressively in the wind. The cannons aimed upwards at Pheromosa, rapidly shooting at the Lissome Pokemon to try and shoot her down. Pheromosa didn't have much control in the air. She couldn't fly so evading the shots from the air would have to be decided by chance and fate. However, there were also the ships in the sky. They had Pheromosa within her sights, ready to fire at any given time. And that time was now. From both sides, up and down, magic rays were fired, heading straight for Pheromosa, Adagio, Pyrestar and the Elements. But they were specifically charged to make sure that the Elements weren't taken out. The Empress still needed them. Adagio tried assisting by using her own siren wings to help give Pheromosa an extra lift and to hopefully evade these rays. But there were too many of them for even Adagio to evade. Unable to do anything in the air, Pheromosa closed her eyes as she had been struck by multiple magic rays from both sides, receiving an upwards and downwards smite as she and Adagio cried out. "A-Aaagh!" "Pheromo!" A horrible outcome. She didn't build up enough speed to get that height she wanted. And what's even worse, thanks to her supple body, being hit by all of these attacks did a number on the Lissome Pokemon. And the damage was only going to worsen as she was falling to the ground afterwards. The jar had been dropped by Adagio as the soldiers from below were prepared to catch Pheromosa and Adagio along with the Elements. They were going to completely ignore Pyrestar however. "N-Not like this...!" Adagio cried out as she tried using her siren wings to recover, but they had suffered damage from the blast as well. It looked like they would certainly fall. "MACHAMP." But, that's where Gigantamax Machamp came in. The Superpower Pokemon used his massive hand to rescue Adagio, Pheromosa, Pyrestar and the Elements respectively as he caught them with his palm. But not the jar. "P-Phero?" "Huh?" Adagio and Pheromosa looked up, witnessing the Superpower Pokemon. "Oh...T-Thanks." "CHAMP!" After saving them, Machamp looked down on the soldiers before him, raising his foot to try and stomp them. Instinctively, the soldiers ran for their lives. "Wait!" Adagio suddenly stopped him. "You'll crush the jar!" Spotting the jar, Adagio flew off Machamp's giant palm to try and retrieve it. Now that it was just lying there, it was prone to be snatched by someone. And snatched it was. One of the troops of the Empress' forces picked the jar up, getting their hooves on it as Adagio's eyes instantly locked on to the target. "No, you don't!" Adagio bellowed as she soared towards the soldier. "Get this to the Empress at once!" The soldiers said as she tossed the jar over to the nearest soldier as they now had to fulfil the main objective. Bringing the Magic Siphoning Jar to the Empress. The Elements were obviously on that objective as well as all fire had been aimed towards Machamp. Adagio saw that the jar had been passed around as some magic rays were sent towards her via the cannons. Pheromosa quickly took action, jumping off of Machamp's palm as she went for a dive kick. "Mosa!" The Ultra Beast smashed her hoof onto the ground, summoning white shockwaves that blew some large rubble back and engulfed some of the soldiers too. The soldiers, seeing how fast Pheromosa was, had to get this jar around faster than Pheromosa could get to it. Which mean tons of distractions. And they could certainly distract the Lissome Pokemon as an entire horde surrounded her and Adagio from all sides. "Phero?" "Great..." Adagio looked everywhere. "You're a fast Pokemon. So take these out before I can blink, why don't you? And let's get that jar back." "Pheromosa!" The Lissome Pokemon nodded as she rushed over towards the forces in front of her, ready to clear them out of her way. Hallway. Meanwhile, Apple Bloom and the rest of Ponyville were searching for Applejack and the others to see if they were safe. To enter the palace, they entered through the back instead of the front since that's where most of the chaos is occurring. They had safely entered the palace, avoiding any potential conflict. And they can thank Mayor Mare for that. Her careful guidance made it so that no one would end up in the worst possible situation by chance or accident. Stoutland started sniffing for Applejack and the others, using his sense of smell. The Big-Hearted Pokemon also knew what to avoid thanks to his tracking skills. He could smell disaster from a mile away. After avoiding most of the conflict and hazards made by all this constant destruction, Mayor Mare and the others had found the ponies they were looking for "Applejack!" "Rarity!" Both Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom cried out as they ran towards their big sisters out of joy, seeing them in the distance. "Hm Wait! Why are you here?!" Both Rarity and Applejack said as they were met with hugs from their little sisters. They were obviously happy to see them but more interested in why they would come here of all places and at this current scenario. "Oh! We were just really worried about y'all!" Apple Bloom said. "We wanted to come here and James brought us here!" "James?" Applejack replied. "Eeyup." Big Mac nodded. "Yeah. He said he wanted to repay the debt to you after how you helped him with his Jessebelle problem." Apple Bloom responded. "So he helped us get here. And he's helping outside too." "Well, I'll be." Applejack smiled while nodding. "Not bad, James." "It was still far too dangerous to come here." Rarity intervened. "All of this is too much for a little pony." "Yeah. Sorry." Sweetie Belle pouted. "Well, now that you're all okay, there was no need to worry, right?" Mayor Mare spoke. "Let's help out as much as we can and get out of here as soon as possible. Team Rocket should be waiting outside with the ship." "We can't leave yet!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. "We need to make sure Pyrestar and our other selves are safe! They're being hunted down now! Did Pheromosa get out of here with the jar?" "Otherselves?" Lyra tilted her head. "We did see Pheromosa amidst all of this destruction. She seems to still be here, struggling to find a way to escape." Mayor Mare explained. "Not my Pheromosa!" Rarity gasped. "We need to go and save her immediately! But...oh sweet Celestia, I am tired out of my mind." Rarity and the others felt like falling asleep on the spot with how much movement they've been doing ever since this whole invasion began in the first place. Whilst standing within the hallway, a horde of troops were heading this way with new vehicles that were even larger and stronger than before. "Ugh...There's just no end to them!" Sunset groaned. "No need to worry. With Goodra here, we've got a better chance. Check out how strong he is now." Spike patted his partner in the belly." "Goo!" "Yeah, but that's like...still a lot!" Pinkie Pie pointed her hoof ahead as she saw some more of them approaching. The Empress still had more forces to give out. And these weren't even the ones from the otherworlds or the rest of Equestria. They were all solely from the palace. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle hid behind their big sisters while more and more kept showing up. And not only that, they were approaching from the sides too. They greatly outnumbered the citizens of Ponyville. Goodra, Salamence and Haxorus growled at the incoming forces since they were still the most energetic out of everyone. Dragon-Type Pokemon do have a lot of energy within them. The same goes for Ampharos. Being an Electric-Type Pokemon means that he's always active for as long as he can be depending on how much electricity is within his body. The four Pokemon stood before the forces, ready to defend everyone while Milotic, Sceptile, the 12 Leavanny and even Mew were tired out. "Should we just engage them?" Rarity asked. "We'd be wasting more of our stamina at this rate." "I know but..."Applejack sighed. "I have an idea" That's when Pinkie Pie sparked something in her mind that could deal with the horde that was coming their way. And she came up with this idea when she pulled out the Mewnium Z from her mane. "This should do it." "Mew's Z-Crystal? Oh! You're gonna use a Z-Move?!" Spike shot up as everyone else locked eyes onto the Mewnium Z. "Z-Moves are super strong and this one is super rare. Time to see just how good it is." She then pulled out the Mega Ring from her mane, placing it right on her hoof. "Are you ready, Mew?" "Mew-Mew!" Mew nodded. He may be tired but he still had something to give out. Being the ancestor of a majority of Pokemon has its perks after all. Everyone stood back, knowing that there's a good chance this could turn out badly for them if they were too close. Pinkie Pie slapped herself in the face before putting her serious face on. "Okay so uh...How do you do it again?" She scratched her mane before placing the crystal into the ring. Once it was in, the symbol of the Mewnium Z flashed before her very eyes as her mane started rising. Her body became outlined in a vibrant pink aura afterwards. "Ooooh! Hehehehe!" She then giggled. "Pinkie Pie! Are you okay?!" Spike asked. "I feel tingly! Hahaha!" She continued to laugh as her mane starting flowing while ascended, showing purple and pink sparkles within it as if she was an alicorn at the moment. The Z-Aura flared from her body, adding to that energy. "This Z-Power stuff feels pretty great!" "That didn't happen with Soarin, did it...?" Rarity whispered. "Nope." Spike shook his head. "Better hurry! They're getting closer!" Scootaloo pointed her hoof at the horde of the Empress forces as they were speeding up, aiming their cannons and ready to fire. "Okay! Here we go!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she crossed her hooves together. She actually replicated the Psychic-Type Z-Pose to try and make it work rather than heading out there and searching for the correct way to pose. Besides, the Mew that gave her the Z-Crystal never taught her the pose. Pinkie Pie was then giving a bursting gold and pink aura. "Mew...!" Mew felt himself being coated in a pink light as he flew into the air. Multicoloured lights flashed from his body, but they were mostly all pink at the end of the day. With Z-Power surrounding him, Mew then raised his arms, summoning what seemed to be trillions of purple and blue orbs that materialized out of thin air. These weren't just orbs. These were supernovas. Mini supernovas to be exact. And they were all made by Mew just conjuring them up as everyone gawked at the trillions of orbs before them. The New Species Pokemon then spun around whilst ascending into the air, causing the supernovas to follow after him. The higher he went, the faster he became and the faster the supernovas moved. Noticeably, Ampharos, Salamence and all the other Pokemon had their bodies glowing with their signature colours as they looked at themselves. The trainers weren't glowing, however. Even the Poke Balls started glowing too. Scootaloo and everypony looked at their saddlebags and Pokemon to see that their Poke Balls and Pokemon were all glowing together whilst Mew went higher up. And this went for every Pokemon here within the Empire. Pikachu, Reshiram, Zekrom, Pheromosa, Machamp, Gardevoir and so on. All of them were glowing in response to Mew's movements as if those trillions of orbs were the cause of it. Even the Pokemon from the other side were glowing. They weren't sure why this was the case as Mew's power was even reaching another world and beyond. The energies that surrounded the Pokemon then all flew at lightspeed, moving from all corners of the empire, country and two worlds, flowing directly towards Mew and the orbs. After getting high up enough, the supernova orbs then absorbed all of the energy that had been sent here, even straight through the gateways. Then, they all started forming a DNA symbol from how they were moving, referencing Mew's plentiful genes, of course. And after that, all of the orbs came together, merging as one as they made angelic and sun-howling sounds while doing so. After they came together, they formed one behemoth of a gigantic Psychic orb that had trillions and trillions of energies storied with it. "Sweet Celestia..." Mayor Mare's jaw dropped. "The voices in my head told me this name and it's pretty sweet to shout out! Ready, Mew?" "Mew!" "GENESIS SUPERNOVA!" "MEW-MEW-MEW!" The New Species Pokemon let out a shout that echoed throughout the empire, even ringing through the skies as it sounded like his voice had ascended. His arms lit up white before he threw them forward. With a burst of power, Mew launched the gigantic ball of Psychic energy at full force. Trillions upon trillions of DNA genes were packed into this attack as it ripped apart the walls of the palace. The magic rays from the cannons had been fired but were immediately obliterated when coming into contact with the giant ball. The floor below had been shattered and eliminated by the moving ball as the soldiers immediately started screaming when the ball came their way. They tried running away but it was too late. The Psychic sphere consumed them as it kept moving, even having the size capability to consume the giant vehicles and robots. The sphere howled while destroying everything in its path. Even the soldiers up ahead weren't safe. They were arriving to help assist in the invasion but were only met with a giant Psychic sphere. On and on, the ball kept moving, breaking through all of the walls in the palace. And considering its large size, it could most definitely destroy a majority of this place. "Woah!" The sphere approached Goh's group as they successfully managed to avoid it by moving to the hallway on the side. They ducked for cover as the ball nearly struck them, merely blowing them back from its intense force as it continued on its path of destruction. Countless rooms were being decimated by the sphere and it didn't help that Reshiram and Zekrom were causing the same amount of destruction as Genesis Supernova with their constant fighting. The ball even reached where Ash, Twilight and the others were, right next to the Empress. Ashs' Aura sensed the approaching Psychic sphere as he grabbed Twilight, moving her out of the way. The Psychic sphere broke through the walls as the Empress, Celestia and others teleported or zipped to the side, evading it. They all watched as the Genesis Supernova blazed through everything as if nothing but glass was in its way. Millions of the Empress' arsenal had been obliterated as the sphere left a visible trail of destruction. With just one move, Mew and Pinkie Pie had changed the tides of this entire battle. Most of the Empress resources had been wiped away without a trace left. All that could be seen was the destruction made by the sphere. The attack finally came to an end as it hit the final vehicle it came across off, blowing up afterwards. A large dome-shaped explosive paroxysm burst from the contact, spreading across the castle and obliterating the vehicle. Genesis Supernova had one last hurrah with its explosion as it moved so fast it began to eclipse and laminate the whole palace. Celestia saw the explosion coming this way as she and the Empress put up defensive shields around Ash and the others plus Skyblue Shine. They closed their eyes as the explosion moved fast and would take the whole palace with it. Including everyone else inside. However, Fluttershy's Audino would put an end to it. "Audino!" She used Protect, placing it in front of her friends as she and everyone braced themselves while closing their eyes. And successfully, with enough time to heal herself with Heal Pulse, Audino had the strength to defend against this might Psychic-Type move. The explosion of Genesis Supernova came in contact with the shield of Protect as the result was Audino and everyone being blown back from the shockwave while the explosion came to an end, leaving a giant hole in the floor. "D-Dino!" Audino cried out as she rolled on the floor afterwards. The aftermath of Genesis Supernova was tremendous. So much had been destroyed as Pinkie Pie's mane returned to normal while Mew fell to the floor, exhausted. "M-Mew..." "You did good, Mew." Pinkie picked up her partner. "Get some rest okay?" "Mew-Mew." "Woah nelly..." Applejack and everyone were just stunned by what they saw. Surprisingly the attack only severely harmed those in the way destroyed objects instead. Mew will always refrain from destroying life. So, he controlled the attack to make it have a specific purpose. "I-I think now is a perfect time to get moving, isn't it?" Rarity stuttered as everyone nodded in agreement. After witnessing that, the only thing to do was to just move along while they had all the time that they had thanks to Pinkie and Mew. The throne room. "Ugh..." Celestia shook her head as she lowered the barrier. "Is everypony okay?" "Yeah." Ash nodded as he stood up. "What was that?" "Pika..." "Tch." The Empress lowered her barrier, shaking the dust off of her. The rubble fell as she looked at the carnage made by Genesis Supernova. Not only that, after a noise that loud, Skyblue Shine was starting to wake up. Gradually though. Not just yet. Aside from that, rushing into the doors, right after all that carnage was a soldier from the Empress' side. But, there were barely any doors left so he just ran inside. "Empress! Terrible news!" "Yeah! I can see what it could be!" The Empress snaped at the soldier, referring to the destruction made by that giant Psychic ball. "But, Empress! Around 70% of our forces have been defeated by that sphere." "70%?!" An astonishing amount. More than what the Empress expecting. With that much taken out, the Empress side had received a potential massive disadvantage. Her overwhelming army size was what she was also known for. Now it had been diminished in just 30 seconds. "Pah! It's fine! There's always our backup forces that will show up! Not all of them returned from the merged world anyway." "About that..." The soldier rubbed his hoof in nervousness. "Over at the other Equestria, they had been defeated as well." "What?! WHO?!" "W-Well..." The Swords of Justice, that's who. The Empress' other forces who hadn't returned to their world yet had been taken out, unconscious on the ground. Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion and Keldeo stood over a sea and mountain of defeated ponies, robots and vehicles, barely having a scratch on them. Now at least 75% had been defeated. "Alright, Swords of Justice!" Ash cheered. "Pikachu!" "Hear that?" Celestia nudged Luna. "Cobalion sure is something isn't he?" "Can't help but crush over him with every opportunity you can get, hm?" Luna raised an eyebrow at her big sister. "Grrr...!" That aggravation that the Empress tried to restrain was starting to show itself again. Everything was going awry once more. "It's fine! There's always Zekrom!" "Uh..." "What...NOW?!" The Empress turned to the soldier once more. "A-A-Another big dragon is currently against Zekrom...I believe it may be Reshiram...Empress? And a huge Machamp as well..." "Reshiram!" Celestia gasped. And the moment she said that outside the window and bursting through the walls near the throne room were the two Dragons. Ash and everyone were startled as they witnessed the Twin Dragons enter the palace, breaking it apart while still battling each other. "Princess Celestia! I still cannot get to Zekrom! He's still focused on rampaging!" "Hang in there, Reshiram!" Celestia shouted. "Do you have any good news?!" The Empress then bellowed at the soldier. "Well...On the bright side, forces from the otherworlds are preparing to arrive soon." The soldier squeed whilst a blast of fire from Reshiram could be heard. "And the jar has been successfully retrieved and is heading this way. G-Getting past the hazards will take some time, however. "Tell them to hurry! NOW! Bring me that jar immediately!" "Y-Yes, Empress!" The soldier then ran out whilst Reshiram and Zekrom moved across the palace. "Well...Celestia...You and your forces sure are something, aren't they? A real pain, that's what you are!" "When you have amazing friends like me, you tend to perform amazing feats that can really get under anypony's skin," Celestia smirked. "Hmph. Obliterating you is going to be so satisfying." The Empress then sparked her body up with a darker purple as she was seemingly getting ready to use everything she had in store. "Ash. If Reshiram can't snap Zekrom out of it, maybe you can with Aura. Go and help Reshiram." Celestia turned to Ash. "Got it! Come on Pikachu!" Ash bolted off with Pikachu while it was now just Twilight, Celestia, Luna and the Empress in just the throne room. They could see that the Empress was about to try and finish this as soon as she could as her magic was gradually transforming her body. Her natural dark blue mane was darkening as red stripes could be seen emerging from within them. Red lines were also showing around her eyes as slits as if she was a lizard. "What is happening to her..." Luna said under her breath as they witnessed these slight changes. "A shame...If I had all my magic I would've been able to use the full potential of this form. But this will have to do!" The Empress grinned as her eye colour changed from red while also exuding a red and purple magical aura. "Two can play at that game." Celestia scoffed as she revealed her Mega Ring which was cleverly placed inside of her hoof regalia. She used her magic to slide the ring upwards as the time to Mega Evolve was now. Or even beyond that. It was time for Celestial-Gardevoir. "Are you ready for this, Passion?" "Gardevoir." Passion was actually willing to let this go through. Against a threat like this, she would have to take this chance immediately as she nodded in confirmation. "Then! Let's become one! Mega Evolve!" Celestia shouted as she initiated the Mega Evolution process. A cosmic, golden and pink light shined out of the alicorn and Embrace Pokemon as the Empress merely covered her eyes from this blinding light along with Twilight and Luna. The light exploded into a pillar of magic and Infinity Energy, blowing a large hole through the ceiling and piercing through the skies and clouds, reaching the very top of the world before coming to an end. Within the light, purple eyes flashed as Celestia's Cutie Mark could also be seen flashing along with the Mega Evolution Symbol. Celestia's body had disappeared in a dispersion of light. That was because she had become one with Passion. They had fused to become one entity. Celestial-Gardevoir. "Oh!" Twilight was actually witnessing this for the first time but Luna was familiar with it. "Mega Evolution with the Bond Phenomenon?! Wait...is it the Bond Phenmenon? Or something else?" "It's time we finished this," Celestia spoke with the voice of two beings. "I agree." And the Empress certainly agreed. Outside. Meanwhile, on the outside, aside from James attacking the other ships in the air, Machamp's gigantic attacks, Pheromosa trying to clear all the enemies around her and more, there was one surprise visitor in all of this. He had just shown up by ripping a hole between both worlds without taking a gateway or using a Travel Sphere. It was Discord of course. And he came at a perfect time. "Oh, my" Discord shaped his eyes into binoculars, gazing at the sight before him. "Now this is chaos. Oh!" He quickly retracted his eyes. "Right! Fluttershy and that sneaky slimy Empress..." He grizzled his teeth. "What to do first...?" One of the soldiers noticed the Spirit of Chaos in the sky as she had to tell the Empress immediately about this. The battle between both sides was reaching its end soon from how things were turning out. The moon was now beginning to show itself. As the journey continues. Chapter 467 End.
