The Crystal Empire. Day.
"Oh. This year's Grand Galloping Gala is closing in it seems." Cadence spoke as she looked at a ticket that allowed her to this year's Grand Galloping Gala. "This time we can make it."
"We can?" Shining Armor looked at the ticket. "Aren't we occupied for something?"
"It's next month so we won't be too busy by then." Cadence shook her head. "You've got one too Flurry Heart. And two more extra tickets."
"Ooh!" Flurry Heart took the ticket with her magic. "We had this back at home with auntie. But uh...I don't get to do much at that Gala anyways. Auntie just let me stand by her the whole night."
"Well now's your chance to really experience it. And with the Pokemon there, you can expect great things without a doubt. Now what to do with these two tickets?"
"Hmm...Oh! Can I bring somepony else with me?" She took the other ticket.
"Sure. Who will it be?"
"Uh..." Flurry Heart zoomed around, looking for a partner for the gala. If not, she may have to go by herself. But in truth, she will have Giratina by her side.
"Oh, by the way. The Equestria League Stadium has just finished." Shining Armor turned to Cadence.
"Really? I thought it would take another few days?"
"Turns out Psychic-Types can change that in a heartbeat. Now that the whole stadium's finished, we can watch the incoming matches. W-When everypony eventually finishes all the Gyms, that is."
"Oh! Flash!" Flurry Heart cried out to Flash who was currently standing with his fellow guards on the outside of the castle.
"Hm? Yes, princess?!" Flash responded by raising his voice.
"Could you come here for a second?!" Flurry Heart waved the tickets by holding one of them in her mouth and the other with her horn. However, she dropped the one from her mouth by opening it a bit. "Oops."
"I got it." Flash Sentry then flew upwards, catching the ticket in his hooves. He then flew over to the princess before looking at the ticket. "Oh, the Grand Galloping Gala in just 1 month."
"Mhm. That's an extra ticket right there." She leaned on the outside of the window. "I was wondering you could come with me. I mean...I can't dance."
"...I can't dance either, princess."
"You can't? Well, I was kinda hoping you could teach me." She giggled innocently.
"I can teach you both." Cadence walked up to the two of them. "I know a thing or two about dancing. Twilight used to do it a lot every time I went to foal sit her.
"Do I have to dance...?" Flash sighed.
"Not really. But hanging ut as friends in the Gala is just as entertaining, isn't it?" Cadence put her hooves around both their necks. "Oh, right. How would you like to take a look at the new Equestria League Stadium, dear? It just opened up."
"Would I?! I wanna see it for sure!" Flurry Heart nodded her head as her baby self was also in agreement. "Are we gonna see league matches already too?"
"Um...maybe not yet. But we'll see. Today is the opening for the stadium anyway. Are you coming, Flash?"
"I'll just stay here on patrol, your highness." Flash gave his response.
"Very well then. I'll be back to teach you what I know." Cadence broke the hug up as the older Flurry Heart and younger Flurry Heart were psyched to see the Equestria League Stadium in its prime and fresh-new appearance.
Canterlot. Day.
There it was.
In all of its glory. The Equestria League Stadium was finally complete. And it certainly had the look of a League Stadium as the golden sun beamed down on it, giving it some nice shine.
"Wow!" Ash was obviously there to see it himself along with the rest of his friends including the ponies of Canterlot. No one could ignore the scope and glamour of this arena. Not even the cold-hearted Adagio.
"Pikachu!"
"Brilliant, isn't it?" BigTime Ben stood before the arena. "After months of planning its design and a few patching here and there, it's complete. It took a while but it paid off in the end. Now the Equestria League or Canterlot Conference can come into fruition!"
"That is truly a job well done!" Celestia nodded in agreement with how wonderful it was. "How many ponies can it fit in there?"
"Combine that with the Pokemon, us humans, dragons, changelings and other species, I'd say...a couple billion or more." Ben speculated.
"Soon I'm gonna be standing there..." Rainbow Dash grinned with her eyes lighting up. She could already see herself battling in the stadium against anyone she could think of, mostly Spitfire, Daylight Blazer and Princess Luna. And very soon, she could become the first Equestria Champion and have a large trophy to carry around. "Oh, that reminds me. Where's the trophy?"
"Ah...the trophy's not ready yet." Ben scratched his hair. "Pinkie Pie chose the design of the trophy and it has yet to be completed. Said she wanted something that really represents Equestria and is distinct from other regional trophies. It will take a while but it'll be here during the day the League can truly begin.
"Sure did!" Pinkie shot up, admitting to the trophy being her idea. "It's gonna look great when it shows up! Trust me!"
"But in the meantime. I can declare the Equestria League Stadium open!" Celestia declared as everyone applauded. Now the place was officially available to enter and take part in Pokemon Battles. High-level Pokemon battles, that is.
Only the highly skilled Pokemon Trainers would be allowed to battle here as this would decide who was Equestria's best Pokemon Trainer and fit to be a champion.
"Right this way. Get a good feel of the place when you end experiencing the entire tournament." Ben said as he allowed everyone to enter. Immediately, they all rushed inside with Ash and Rainbow Dash being the first to enter.
The residents of Canterlot entered, immediately entering the stadium. They were first met with three doors. One that leads to the waiting room for the Trainers, one that leads to the stands where the viewers can sit and the other was just the snack hall. Just in case someone's hungry after a battle.
It was similar to the Canterlot Tournament Stadium that was sitting near it. And that made sense since that stadium was essentially a precursor to this one. Sort of an early model.
The waiting room also had a Mini-Pokemon Center that would obviously have Nurse Joy there. At the moment, Nurse Joy wasn't present but she'll be here when the time comes. Although, it's unknown which Nurse Joy from which city, town or region will fill this role.
Ash, Rainbow Dash and Flurry Heart ran out to the main arena where all the action will happen. Ben followed after them as they noticed the Equestria Flag in the middle. The surface for the arena itself was certainly tough. But how durable was it exactly?
Ash tapped his foot on the ground, feeling the hard marble coming from it. "This stuff's pretty tough. It can take a strong Pokemon move for sure."
"Pika-Pika." Pikachu tapped his tail on the arena to feel its durability.
"Ah, it's durability. We were planning to build it out of Skarmory wings but the stadium was already almost done." Ben explained. "But it should be more durable than the Canterlot Stadium. Every league hall in each region far exceeds the durability that other stadiums do. Strangely enough, Dig ignores this."
"Really?" Flurry Heart looked over at Ben. "So like...those Hyper Beams, Flamethrowers and all that other stuff. This arena won't even budge or break?"
"But how? Some Pokemon moves can obliterate the ground in seconds." Twilight flew over. "How come it can resist it? And why can Dig damage it? And only Dig."
"You'll have to see how tough it is when you battle on it. How does a quick Pokemon Battle sound to test things out? I want to make sure everything is just right for that fated day and future league battles." Ben suggested.
"Oh yeah!" Ash was eager for this.
"Ooh! Ooh! This could be my chance!" Flurry Heart dashed over, raising her hoof as if she was in a classroom.
"You two." Ben pointed both his fingers at Ash and Flurry Heart. "You'll have a quick battle to test the durability of this arena. Go all out but not too all out, understood?"
"Got it." Ash nodded. "Let's have a good one, Flurry Heart."
"Pikachu."
"My first Pokemon Battle...Do you know how psyched I am?!" Flurry Heart grabbed Ash by the shirt, shaking him up and down before flying over to her mother.
"I can see how psyched you are for sure." Cadence giggled before coming to a realization. Her eyes promptly widened after that realization. Flurry Heart might use Giratina. Her only Pokemon. "Wait...you aren't planning on using..."
"Come on, Ash! Let's get rolling!" She raised her hooves in excitement as Cadence gulped out of fear.
"Alright! Let's do this!" And Ash was eager to go for it. He was unaware of the overwhelming power that Flurry Heart was carrying with her. But then again, he wouldn't care.
Ash never backs down from a challenge.
They took their places on this fresh and new arena. To see just how strong this arena was, they would have an all-out Pokemon battle. It didn't matter if they could not finish their battle or if all of their Pokemon fainted. The residents of Canterlot sat down on the seats for the first time. This wouldn't be the last time. They were eager to see a Pokemon Battle anyway, especially one from Ash.
"This might turn out not so great..." The Princess of Love bit her hoof, panicking about Giratina as she shuddered.
"Why? Is something bad going to happen?" Twilight asked.
"Well...I have faith in Ash's skills so it might be so bad." She then cast a smile on her face. Albeit a nervous smile but a confident one as well. "G-Good luck you two!"
"Show us a great battle like always, Ash!" Rainbow Dash cheered.
Both of you. Bring out your Pokemon." Ben spoke, acting as the referee.
"Pikachu! I choose you!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu hopped off Ash's shoulder, doing a flip in the air before sticking a stylish landing. He sparked his red sacs with electricity, ready for a good scrap.
"Okay...Just do what everyone here does. Flash taught you." Flurry Heart took a deep breath, preparing herself for her first battle. She wanted it to go well but also indulge in some fun with it. "Go, Giratina!"
"What did she say?!" Twilight and everyone stood up after hearing the young otherworld alicorn call out the name of her partner. Flurry Heart tossed the Ultra Ball, sending out the Renegade Pokemon.
Giratina.
"She has a Giratina?!" BigTime Ben fell on his back as Giratina let out a mighty yell, shaking the entire stadium and the buildings of Canterlot. Nearby, Reshiram and Zekrom sensed this tremor from a fellow Legendary Dragon-Type. They turned their heads, witnessing Giratina in the distance after letting out his roar.
"Giratina? Perfect!" Ash suddenly grinned, not worried about the giant Ghost-Dragon-Type in front of him. If anything, he was looking forward to this. Ash loves a challenge. And if he's going to defeat Leon and come out as the World's Strongest Pokemon Trainer, he will have to take on powerful Pokemon to prove it.
"Okay, Tina!" She gave the Renegade Pokemon a nickname, making most of the ponies hold their laughter in as some almost choked after hearing that nickname. "This is our first battle so let's do good! Wait, what moves do you have?" She quickly took out her Pokedex, reading the moves of the Renegade Pokemon.
"Giratina. The Renegade Pokemon. Shadow Force. Aura Sphere. Dragon Pulse. Iron Head."
"Sure. That looks good." She then put the dex away, readying herself. "Okay, I'm ready now!"
"T-Then!" Ben cleared his throat. "Go at it! Battle Start!"
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Ash pointed forward, making the first move with something instant and quick.
"Pika!" Pikachu immediately bolted off the ground, forming that same white aura around his tail as he moved at speeds so great, he left afterimages.
"Oh! Uh...!" Flurry Heart's mind started flashing at high speeds as she was thinking of a move to use. What could she possibly choose first? "Tina! Use Dragon Pulse!"
Too late for that. Pikachu moved at lighting speeds, already striking the Renegade Pokemon in his stomach with a swing of his hardened tail. Giratina flinched a bit as he was pushed slightly back from Iron Tail. But, Giratina went for Dragon Pulse either way. After being knocked back, the Renegade Pokemon opened his mouth wide summoning a dragon-shaped blast. With one burst, he fired a gigantic Dragon Pulse that tore through the air.
"Dodge and use Iron Tail again!"
"Pika!" Pikachu slid back after using Iron Tail. The Mouse Pokemon then bolted to the side, avoiding the incoming Dragon Pulse. The dragon-shaped shockwave struck the floor with a heavy and destructive force. And to everyone's surprise, despite an attack that strong hitting the arena, no damage was seen. Pikachu then jumped into the air, approaching Giratina's face with his tail hardening.
"Oh! Use Iron Head!" Flurry Heart exclaimed as Giratina hardened his head, also receiving power akin to that of pure steel. The Renegade Pokemon then roared as he smashed his head onto Pikachu's tail.
The two Steel forces collided, creating a loud clanging sound a vibrating shockwave that rung through the air, filling everyone's ears. And yet, the arena was unaffected by the shockwaves. Pikachu growled as he and Giratina had a small struggle before separating.
"Thunderbolt!"
"Pika...Chuuu!" After separating, Pikachu sent a bolt of 100,000 volts from his body while falling in mid-air. Thunderbolt gave him extra air time as it immediately engulfed the Renegade Pokemon.
Giratina had received a powerful electric shock, however, he did not budge from it at all. But he did gain sparks of electricity around his body, making him twitch.
"Are you okay, Tina?!" Flurry Heart gasped after seeing electricity surround Giratina's body. She promptly paused the battle, worrying for her partner. "Oh...This doesn't look good so far."
"Flurry Heart." Ash suddenly spoke, drawing her attention. "No need to worry. Don't get too worked up in it, alright? I know it seems pretty crazy going through your first Pokemon battle, but it's okay."
"I-It is?" She stuttered while facing Ash and Pikachu.
"Mhm. Trust in Giratina too." Ash nodded as the young alicorn turned to face Giratina. This is what she would have to expect if she wanted to get into Pokemon battling. Her Pokemon will receive damage in the long run. Whether small, large or even critical.
But her Pokemon will be there to power through it for the sake of their Trainer, much like how Ash, Twilight, Celestia and everyone's Pokemon do the same. Giratina gave an approving nod to his Trainer and so did Cadence.
"O-Okay!" Flurry Heart nodded before swallowing up her worries. "Then...Aura Sphere, Tina!"
By raising his legs, Giratina stomped on the ground, shaking the entirety of Canterlot and making everyone on the seats jump from the tremor. A giant sphere of Aura came flying out of the Renegade Pokemon's mouth.
"Pikachu! Advance with Quick Attack, then use Iron Tail!"
"Pika-Pika-Pika!" Pikachu actually approached Aura Sphere instead of trying to evade or block it. Naturally, this seemed like a foolish mistake and recipe for a fainted Pokemon. But Ash is known for tackling odds with his Pokemon. And his Pokemon always find a way to hold their ground too.
Pikachu moved at blinding speeds with Quick Attack as he actually landed on the Aura Sphere. However, to avoid taking damage, when Pikachu landed on the sphere, he then instantly jumped off it, right when it blew up. He had bypassed Aura Sphere's damage by moving on it in a split second as a blue explosion erupted.
After doing so, Pikachu smacked Giratina in the face with Iron Tail, moving the Renegade Pokemon's head to the side. Giratina snarled as Pikachu then used Iron Tail on his neck for a second time before descending to the arena floor.
"Pika!"
"Let's try that one move! Shadow Force!" Finally, Giratina's signature move. Everyone, aside from Ash and Pikachu, was going to have the pleasure of witnessing this move for the first time. And a new one that they've never heard of before.
The middle of Giratina's head crest glows light blue. Giratina's body then turned black and disappears. He did this by travelling into another dimension that was separate from this one. Giratina did have that power after all.
"Tina! Where'd you go?!" Flurry Heart looked around, wondering where her partner went. Everyone else wondered the same thing. Instead of just staying invisible like other Ghost-Types, Giratina was actually in another dimension, unclear to all eyes.
"I can't see Giratina at all..." Celesia narrowed her eyes, searching for any movements within the air patterns. "It's like it's not even here anymore. In this world."
"Did it go to another dimension?!" Twilight gasped, quickly putting the pieces together.
"Stay sharp, buddy." Ash already knew what Shadow Force was capable of. And so did Pikachu. They knew what to expect but they had to be cautious.
"Pika...!" Pikachu narrowed his eyes, preparing electricity in his sacs as everything fell silent. Only mutters from the crowd filled the air and the faint sound of electricity crackling.
After a total of 20 seconds, Ash's Aura felt something approaching. That's when he sensed the return of Giratina. The Renegade Pokemon was re-entering this dimension.
"Here it comes! Jump and use Electroweb!"
"What?! Where?!" Flurry Heart wasn't aware of Shadow Force's capabilities. And before she knew it, appearing beside Pikachu was her partner. In the blink of an eye, faster than the regular citizens and some Pokemon could react was the return of Giratina.
The air itself had broken apart, transforming into shards that faded away, showing how Giratina interacted with the dimensions themselves. His ability to move through them was so great that he actually shattered parts of said dimension with his movement.
A black blur was all that could be seen as the Ghost-Dragon-Type had a black and purple aura around his body, ready to smash into Pikachu.
"Pikachu!" But, the Mouse Pokemon was ready. At the right time, he used his nimble and fast body to jump high into the air. Right when Giratina broke through the dimensions. Pikachu was now above Giratina's large body as he already had Electroweb ready. "Pika-Pikachu-Pi!" And with a swing of a yellow orb that soon turned into a giant web, the Renegade Pokemon's head and most of his middle body had been caught by this.
Giratina's head was pinned down by Electroweb along with his neck and back, causing the Renegade Pokemon to stop moving for a second as he slid on the floor, crying out.
"Now, Iron Tail!"
"Chu...!" Pikachu then spun in the air, ready to send an overhead Iron Tail to the Ghost-Dragon-Type.
"Tina! Get up and use Dragon Pulse!"
Giratina's eyes flashed as he immediately ripped the net of electricity apart by just simply getting up, showing just how much natural physical force he has, despite being a Ghost.
Once he broke the Electroweb, he opened his mouth, firing an instant burst of Dragon Pulse from his mouth. Pikachu's eyes widened as his tail came into contact with Dragon Pulse. The collision resulted in an immediate explosion which pushed the Mouse Pokemon away.
"Pika!"
"Yes!" The young alicorn jumped for joy after finally landing a hit. "Okay, now use Aura Sphere!" After being blown back, Giratina then fired one more attack from his mouth in the form of Aura Sphere.
"Dodge with Quick Attack, then use Thunderbolt!"
"Pika-Pika!" Pikachu grit his teeth as he used the speed of Quick Attack to move through the air. By using that speed, he dashed past Aura Sphere, evading it. The Mouse Pokemon then moved past Giratina at blinding speeds before shooting an instant bolt of 100,000 volts. Right from behind, Giratina had been struck by electricity.
"Iron Tail and spin around with it!"
"Use that Iron Head attack, Tina!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu slid on the floor after using Thunderbolt. He then jumped off the floor, spinning with Iron Tail. He was spinning so fast that he essentially became a yellow blur with the silver colouring of Iron Tail mixed in there.
Before Giratina could turn around for Iron Head, the Mouse Pokemon had smacked the back of his head with Iron Tail at a higher velocity, increasing the impact. However, even after being struck that hard, Giratina turned around with his eyes flashing. And in that second Pikachu's tail connected, the Renegade Pokemon responded by smashing his head onto the Mouse Pokemon.
"Pika!" Pikachu cried out as he was rocketed to the floor from such a hard-headed hit. The Mouse Pokemon rolled on the durable floor but he wasn't out yet. Pikachu recovered by jumping off the floor and sliding afterwards.
However, even though Giratina landed a heavy hit with Iron Head, that's when Pikachu's Static kicked in. Large sparks of electricity formed around his body. He was now paralyzed.
"Oh! Tina what's wrong?!" Flurry Heart gasped.
"That would be paralysis," Ben spoke to the young alicorn. "Pikachu's ability is Static. Direct contact with him might result in immediate paralysis given the chances."
"Seriously?!" Flurry Heart turned to face Ben before looking up at Giratina.
"Le's go! Use Thunderbolt! Max power!"
"Pika!" Pikachu was going to do just that. He jumped high into the air, preparing one behemoth of a Thunderbolt. An instant burst of electricity coated his body as it was bigger than the previous auras.
"Tina, use Shadow Force!" Giratina couldn't move as quickly while paralyzed. Thus, Thunderbolt struck him before he could use Shadow Force. But he still went for it. He turned himself invisible, moving into a separate dimension.
"Spin with Thunderbolt!"
"Pikachu!" Afterwards, Pikachu landed on the floor before getting on his back. He used Thunderbolt one more time but this time in the form of Counter Shield. By spinning his body around, a frantic flurry of Thunderbolt flew about, going everywhere.
And once Giratina returned to this dimension, he was instantly met with some of the erratic Thunderbolts, shocking his body once more. Shadow Force couldn't be fully pulled off as the Renegade Pokemon was now made visible.
"Now, Iron Tail! Straight up!"
"Pika-Pikachu!" Pikachu then stood up, rushing over to Giratina. Giratina was just recovering from Thunderbolt as Pikachu followed up with one more attack. He rushed over, getting in front of Giratina's face.
The Renegade Pokemon looked Pikachu in the eyes, delivering an upwards Iron Tail to his chin. Giratina had been knocked back a bit with his head moving upwards.
"He's seriously doing this good against a Legendary Pokemon?" Goh's jaw dropped.
"Well he is Ash after all, so it's not a big surprise." Spike shrugged.
"But Flurry Heart's not doing so great right now..." Cadence whimpered.
"Tina! Uh...um..." Flurry Heart's worries were kicking in again. Pikachu was winning this battle by a long shot. "Use um...Use-
"Alright, I think that's good enough!" Ben suddenly called this battle to an end. "I've seen how tough the stage can be so it looks durable enough for even Legendary Pokemon to battle on it."
"Oh. Oh..." Flurry Heart sighed. She was glad that it was over but also a bit upset it didn't go all the way. Giratina shook his head afterwards. "I totally messed that up. Thought I could win cause I had a Legendary Pokemon."
"Having a Legendary Pokemon won't always grant you victory if you're not using them to their full potential," Ben said. "But, for your first Pokemon Battle and with a Legendary Pokemon nonetheless, you did well."
"Sure did." Ash gave a thumbs up. "I mean, Giratina got a few licks in there."
"Pikachu."
"I guess so. Can't believe I was that nervous. I mean, I saw Flash and others do it. Why couldn't I do the same? It looks so easy!" The young alicorn.
"Practice makes perfect. I fumbled on my first Pokemon battle when I was young." Ben kneeled to face her as her mother flew over.
"Enough practice and you'll be ding great with Giratina like with Sylveon and I," said Cadence.
"Sylveon."
"A-Alright." She gave a stutter, then a nod. "Just kinda scared of seeing my Pokemon get hurt really badly. But I guess I have to go through it. Can you all teach me?"
"Well, your father receives training from Cobalion and the Swords of Justice so he and I can teach you a few things. Plus, Ash here helps out other upstart trainers."
"Mhm. I can teach you a lot. So can Hollow, Brawly, Volkner and everyone at the Pokemon School. I-It's not open yet but you can still visit them here and there." Ash grinned as Giratina gave an approving light growl. Flurry Heart then let out a smile, seeing how she was surrounded by wonderful individuals.
She never had this back at home. Everyone was so serious or either evaded her for the superior ruler, Empress Twilight, to who they showed loyalty. But being surrounded by new friends who would love to spend time with her was a beautiful feeling. Especially on that involved her parents. Eve if they aren't from the same universe.
"Thanks, everyone! I'll make sure to become an amazing trainer! Right, Tina?" She raised her hooves as Giratina gave a nod of approval.
"You sure will! But not as great as me! See all of this? I'm gonna be standing here as Equestria's Champion!" Rainbow Dash boasted, going on about the Equestria League.
"I think not." Luna interrupted. "I believe you mean, I will be Equestria's Champion. Let's not get everything confused, hm?"
"No way!" Over at the crowd, Daylight Blazer could be seen. "It's me!"
Obviously, the three contenders for Equestria's best trainer were all here, minus Spitfire who was at the Wonderbolts Academy. However, there were other ponies amongst the crowd who wished to be the champion. All have their own reasons.
And speaking of reasons, Spike was pondering something for a moment. After seeing the Equestria League Stadium, thinking about the trophy and everyone's reason for taking part in it, he figured that there was another way to see how good of a Dragon Trainer he could become.
"Something wrong, Spike?" Twilight turned to her assistant.
"Anyone can join, right?" Spike asked.
"Anyone as long as they achieve all 8 badges." Twilight nodded. "I hear some Dragons are looking to become the Equestria Champion themselves. Why?"
"All I needed to hear!" Spike let out a confident grin as Twilight already figured out what Spike was going for. And with that, Rainbow Dash and Luna felt a dangerous sensation after Spike's grin. They could already tell that they might have an incoming rival that they would have to deal with soon.
The Crystal Empire. Afternoon.
"Okay! Let's get rolling! I want to be as good as Ash or dad!" Flurry Heart stood outside the castle with Giratina casually out of his Ultra Ball. "Can we start training now, mom?"
"Sure-sure. But right after we practice that dancing we spoke of earlier today. Then we can train. Flash, come here!"
"Uh...Does it have to be near Giratina?" Flash gently walked over while Giratina stared at him. "And why does he keep staring at me most of the time?"
"I think he likes you." Flurry Heart giggled.
"Giratina's harmless. Come here." She dragged the pegasus along with her magic while the Renegade Pokemon's eyes tracked him down. Flash felt a foreboding sense of doom from Giratina's eyes as he was placed near the young alicorn.
Once Flash was near Flurry Heart, Giratina's red eyes flared for a split-second. And in that split second, Flash shuddered, feeling his heart sink. At any moment, he could be crushed, obliterated, eviscerated, eradicated or any form of doom that's possible.
But that day was not today.
With the Equestria League Stadium finally completed and at its best state, the day for the major tournament between ponies and potentially other races out there for the title of Equestria Champion is closing in. However long it may take, it will arrive either way as the journey continues.
Chapter 494 End.
