The 18 Realms.

Within the 18 Realms, multiple doors had just opened. The Normal, Water and Psychic Door were wide open. Brawly, Rumble and Bea were the first to emerge as they were headed for the Dark Door next. But they had just come across Aria's group who had just returned from the Water Realm. And finally, Twilight's group emerged from the Psychic door after dealing with so many opposing Pokemon inside there.

It wasn't just that. Mayor Mare's group was also on the move, heading for another door until they met with the others. Those that had already passed one realm and were ready to head for the rest had reunited.

"Oh! You're all here!" Brawly said. "Glad everyone's okay. We just came back from the Ghost Realm and there was nothing there. Just a messed up mansion." 

"So, we all haven't covered every door here," Celestia spoke before facing Aria's group. "And you all have just returned from the Water Door, haven't you?"

"You should've seen what we went through back there, princess." Sonata stepped forward. "Well first a bunch of Water-Type Pokemon came towards us to attack and the next we know, there's a super-sized Lucario that was also trying to get rid of us."

"Oh, the Giga Lucario!" Brawly exclaimed. "Gave it a name that fits. You came across that too, huh."

"So did we," Octavia replied. "But it didn't attack us at all. We had to deal with a Kommo-o and a few other Pokemon back at the Normal Door. Has anyone found a way to leave this realm by the way?"

"Mmm." Bea shook her head. "But we did learn something of importance from the Ethereal Lucario residing over at the Fighting Realm. Not only were we told about how the Giga Lucario resides here, but they mentioned how the one way to break free from this realm was to defeat the one responsible for it."

"We had a long talk with them. And there's this Gardevoir apparently that's the cause of all of this. If we do something about her then we're free to get out of this place pronto." Brawly explained.

"Gardevoir? So...is it through the Psychic door?" Sonata and the others faced the Psychic-Type door. 

"We have already come back from that realm. She's elsewhere now. Most definitely the Electric Realm as that is where Ash is. She wants Aura. And no one has bigger Aura than Ash." Luna explained. "If not, then maybe Fairy."

"Wherever she may be, she won't succeed. We should probably gather everypony else for assistance." Celestia suggested. "Some are still through those doors and haven't yet come out."

"Let me handle that." Brawly stretched his hands. "There's one other tip the Lucario left us. Since this place is filled with Aura, anyone can feel through these doors. Check this out." Brawly approached the Grass-Type door to show a neat trick he had learned.

By placing his hand on the door, he could feel the Aura exuding out of it. Since all 18 Types have both Infinity Energy and Aura, it was fairly easy. Brawly felt something within the Grass Door. Multiple different Aura signatures were going off in there. "Oh! There's something happening in there! Might be the same for every other door."

"Then let's try each of them instead of just one," Twilight said. "We can maybe help everypony else out if they're coming across any issues."

And so, they had a new goal. There was a potential way of leaving this realm. And that was against the Gardevoir that had created. And also assist anyone that was facing any problems within each door. And there certainly was something happening within the Electric Door. Something fierce. But there was another of great importance through the Grass Door.



Grass Door.

Applejack, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, Apple Bloom, Roxie, Roseluck and Scootaloo could be found in this realm, still searching for something of great importance.

They moved from the Deerling Forest to the Pikachu Highlands, continuing their search. They had just managed to solve a poison problem minutes ago and were hoping for no other problems to sprout up.

They were currently within the palace of the Pikachu Royalty, searching for anything within each room. For a Pikachu Palace, it was unnecessarily large. 

"No good..." Sunset sighed. "We're not getting anywhere...Has anything happened outside at least?"

"No. It's all-natural there." Roseluck replied. "Maybe we should just head back and call it quits?"

"No way. There's gotta be something here." Applejack rummaged through the rooms with her little sister, searching high and low. Objects were being thrown all about from their rummaging. 

"Hey. Where'd Fluttershy go?" Scootaloo noticed how almost everyone was here except for Fluttershy. 

"I think she went downstairs," Roxie responded.

"Girls!" Speaking of Fluttershy, she called all of them from downstairs with great alert in her tone. It sounded important. "Come here!" They all quickly ran to her location downstairs.

Fluttershy stood there, waiting for her friends to show up. And when they did, they soon saw what she had seen. Something of stunning magnitude yet simple to know. Upon arriving downstairs, their eyes were tracking something else instead of Fluttershy. Their jaws dropped one at a time in perfect harmony.

What they saw was an already open door. Not one that led to the 18 Realms, but one that already existed within this realm. And through this massive open door was a tree. Not just any tree. But the combination of two important trees. One that exists in the Pokemon World and the other in Equestria.

The Tree of Beginning and the Tree of Harmony.

They had merged to make an even larger tree. One that had more than 6 Elements of Harmony on it. There were now a total of 15 new elements that were never there before. And they all seemed to share a common theme, revolving around Aura.

The size on it was also stupendous. But yet it was odd how they never noticed it in the first place and how it managed to fit in this palace with its superior size. But then again, this was all a part of one combined mined so almost anything was possible.

"The Tree of Harmony?!" Applejack gasped. "And ain't that the Tree of Beginning from Kanto?!"

"It is. They're all-in-one from the looks of it. How wonderful is that?" said Fluttershy.

"What are those elements? I don't recognize them." Scootaloo asked.

"Not sure." Fluttershy flew over to the tree, gazing at the 15 new Elements. "But they all have the same look to them. It looks like Aura to me with different colours. This could be our way out of here."

"Ooh. Do we use 'em?" Apple Bloom squeed, liking the potential idea of using these elements.

"Well...Maybe they work even in this mind." Fluttershy took her element. The Element of Kindness. "Here's yours, Applejack." She then gave the Element of Honesty to Applejack.

"This better work." Applejack placed the element around her neck. But the others were curious about the rest of the elements. They approached the tree, witnessing its grandiose size at a closer angle. Sunset Shimmer grabbed the Red Aura Element, observing it closely.

"Hmm..." She then looked over at two more, seeing that they were blue and green. "Hey. Do you think that these are based on Pokemon Types?"

"They are?" Applejack and Fluttershy turned to her.

"They have the colours to match. Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and more." Sunset showed them as they sparkled with the golden sun beaming next to them. "This could mean something. Hopefully."

"Might be right about that. For now, let's see if we can use these." Fluttershy and Applejack were aiming to utilize the magic with the intent of potentially manipulating this area for any form of exit.

And just as they were about to do so, high above the palace and arriving at the area of the combined trees was the Giga Lucario. However, it moved at a gentler pace than how it usually does. Which is with pure aggression and unbridled speed.

It had also made little sound at all. Nothing had been damaged by its sheer size. Not even the trees made any sound when it had passed them. The Giga Lucario then made itself intangible, phasing through the walls of the palace. It had also shrunken in size to better mask itself.

After doing so, it had entered the Element of Kindness and the Element of Honesty. While doing it all undetected.

Lo and behold, they were able to use the magic of harmony within this realm. Both their elements illuminated their signature lights, merging together. But it wasn't done by their power. It was done by the Giga Lucario.

"It's working!" Scootaloo and Apple Bloom exclaimed with smiles on their faces. This looked promising. Afterwards, two colours were shot out of the elements, hitting seemingly nothing. The reason for this was because they were opening a hole within the realms, ripping into reality.

The influence of Aura was making this possible as it interacted with magic, amplifying its already amazing potential to a higher degree. A crack was beginning to form from the firing of these two elements as the feeling permeated throughout the 18 Realms.

Giga Lucario, instead of attacking, chose to help them.



Electric Realm.

Meanwhile, over at the Electric Realm, Gardevoir was about to start an instant conflict with Ash, Cynthia, Goh and Chloe, just to get her hands on Ash's gigantic Aura.

She had previously felt an odd Aura permeate through the 18 Realms. That was the result of Fleur-de-lis and her Milotic using the power of the Waterium Z. A Z-Move that relies on Aura from Alola. Gardevoir had never felt an Aura like that before and immediately shifted the blame towards the Giga Lucario.

She has yet to feel the incoming Aura from the Giga Lucario and the two elements. Instead, she was too focused on getting Ash's Aura.

"Ash. You must be careful." Cynthia warned Ash, already holding a Poke Ball out. "Since she's after your Aura, exerting yourself could expose it all to her."

"Are you sure?" Ash replied to her. "I gotta do something, ya know."

"If you want to battle, then go ahead. But just be careful that she doesn't an ounce from you, alright?" Cynthia suggested before throwing her Poke Ball. "Go, Roserade!"

"Roserade!"

"Come out! Cinderace!" Goh chose to send out his Cinderace as it stood alongside Cynthia's Roserade.

"I'm gonna try anyway! Pikachu! Let's go!"

"Pikachu!"

"Roserade, use Sludge Bomb!"

"Cinderace, Pyro Ball!"

"Cinder!" Cinderace stomped on the giant lightning bolt, finding out that were was indeed some rubble. Albeit one that was lightning-covered. It had then kicked the lightning pebble a few times, turning it into a ball of fire with two kinds of sparks emitting out of it. The Striker Pokemon had then shot the ball in Gardevoir's direction.

Roserade shot over bombs of sludge that came out of her rose hands. Standing there was Gardevoir who didn't seem bothered by this. And with a confident smile on her face, instead of using a move to counter, she brought something new to the table.

"Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"

"Ka! Pika...!" Pikachu joined in. Even though it was dangerous to exert himself in front of Gardevoir, Ash wanted to help either way. The Mouse Pokemon leapt off of his shoulder, sparking his body with electricity. Shooting out of it were 100,000 volts that flew alongside the ball of fire and the bombs of sludge.

Gardevoir placed her hand forward as Aura was flowing out of it. The Aura had then transformed the Thunderbolt below everyone by seeping into it. The lightning bolt went from being a giant platform of electricity to the natural ground that is seen in reality.

And emerging from below was an earth wall. This wall of earth had acted as Gardevoir's shield, blocking the Electric, Poison and Fire-Type move and essentially nullifying them.

"Surprised?" Gardevoir hovered over the earth wall, looking down at Ash, Cynthia and Goh's surprised faces. "Aura is connected to all 18 Types. Meaning that every single one of them is mine to control!"

She then waved her hands, causing the earth wall to shatter as giant rocks were thrown in their direction as a form of ranged retaliation on Gardevoir's part.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"

"Roserade, stop it with Shadow Ball!"

"Double Kick, Cinderace!"

"Chu...Pika!" Pikachu, Cinderace and Roserade quickly stopped the incoming rocks with a hardened tail of iron, spheres of shadows that were also thrown in Gardevoir's direction and two consecutive kicks.

Gardevoir had hovered over the Shadow Balls before using her Aura to manipulate another type. This time, it was Fire. She formed a trail of fire behind her as it came zooming in. The fire blazed through the ground and even burnt some of the lightning bolt pillars.

"Aah!" Chloe shouted as she lowered her head at this violent and swift trail of fire After ducking, the flame ended up crashing into a nearby large lightning pillar. However, Gardevoir had quickly redirected the trail, causing it to approach from behind.

"Electroweb!"

"Pikachu!" Pikachu came to Chloe's rescue, making a web of electricity from his tail that had caught the trail of fire. It had then encased the fire, keeping it from going any further. The flame then combusted, destroying the web with it as Chloe closed her eyes.

However, there were smaller trails that managed to sneak out of the giant smoke, racing towards Roserade. Roserade received a sneak attack from these stealthy flames, taking super-effective damage. "R-Rose!"

"Roserade!" Cynthia gasped as the Bouquet Pokemon's back had been burned. But she was okay.

"Let's get up close and personal! Quick Attack!"

"Blaze Kick!"

"Pika-Pika-Pika-Pika!" Pikachu and Cinderace ran up to Gardevoir to get physical with her. A common thing with Gardevoir is that it does well against special attacks but not so much against physical attacks. But this Gardevoir was different from the others to adapt to her weaknesses.

Pikachu appeared at blinding speeds with a white trail around him. He managed to land a swift hit, hitting Gardevoir from the side and making her stagger. "Pika!"

"Cinder!" Cinderace followed up by also coming from the side, delivering a blazing foot dive on Gardevoir, causing spurts of flames to shoot out. Gardevoir staggered once more, being pushed back by this unified attack on her.

And due to Pikachu landing an attack, the Aura was showing. Just what Gardevoir wanted. While she took damage, she managed to have some of the Aura come her way. It always happens when Ash battles anyway, even if barely anyone else can see it.

In retaliation, the Embrace Pokemon had used the Aura of both Water and Ground. From both her hands, a twister of water and rising earth pillars came their way.

"P-Pika!" Pikachu and Cinderace had been struck with their weaknesses. The pillars erupted swiftly underneath the Electric-Type, knocking him away while the twister of water carried Cinderace away.

"A-Ace!"

"Pikachu!" Ash cried out for his partner as did Goh. "Ash was ready to amp things up, but he knew that he couldn't. Gardevoir could absorb his Aura some more. "Can't do that...!" He growled.

"Not going all out as you usually do, eh? You may be thick-headed but you're not stupid." Gardevoir both mocked and complimented Ash. The Embrace Pokemon then turned to Cynthia. "And don't think I've forgotten about you, Cynthia. You have a Lucario as well. Your Aura is also mine to absorb."

"Ash. Are you doing alright?" Cynthia asked him.

"Yeah. Almost exposed a lot right there." He replied.

"By all means, go ahead. If you want to defeat me, you'll have to use everything that you have. Even if you're keeping it all at bay." Gardevoir chuckled. "And to think, I haven't used my actual m-" 

Then, the Embrace Pokemon was cut off. She felt it again. An outburst of Aura that could reach all the way over here. Her cocky expression shifted into one of shock. She promptly ceased her attack to feel this occurrence.

"Again...What was that?" Gardevoir wondered. At this point, she couldn't just ignore it a second time. Gardevoir used her Aura to sense where it was coming from.

"What's she doing?" Goh asked.

"Something seems to have her distracted. If there was any time to attack, it's now. Roserade, Sludge Bomb!"

"Rose...Rade!" They were going to strike while Gardevoir's attention was drawn elsewhere. Roserade unleashed Sludge Bomb while the Embrace Pokemon was not looking.

Gardevoir had then found the source of the current occurrence. The Grass Realm. "Ah. So something's happening over there. I'll make sure that-" Interrupted once more, she had been hit by Sludge Bomb, taking super-effective damage. "Gah!"

She fell over from Roserade's Sludge Bomb, even becoming poisoned from it. A consequence for letting her guard down as she tumbled on the ground. Gardevoir then glanced at Roserade and the others with an agitated face. She quickly recovered, returning to her usual hovering stance.

"I can't ignore what's happening over there. I thought the Grass-Type Realm was dealt with when those poison necklaces went off." She thought to herself.

"Stay back for a bit, Ash." Cynthia stepped forward. "Take action when needed. Roserade, get up close!"

"You too, Cinderace!" Cinderace and Roserade approached Gardevoir, ready to get up close and personal with her, exposing her few weaknesses.

"I have to do something about this and that...I have to. Otherwise, I will be trapped here forever. And I can't take another century here!"



Grass Realm.

The beams of Honesty and Kindness had successfully ripped open a hole in this mind ream. But it was thanks to Lucario in secret. They had just found a method of potentially leaving this realm or moving through it without having to worry about finding a door.

"It worked! That's what we like to see!" Roxie exclaimed as she and the others cheered for this achievement. This was major progress at work. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom jumped around with joy, hugging each other at this great sign.

"I didn't think it would but great! Are we still sure this is all still inside of four minds?" Sunset said. But as they were all celebrating, from a great distance, right at the Grass Realm, Gardevoir interrupted.

And she did so by reacting with Lucario. Residing within the Elements of Harmony, Lucario could feel Gardevoir's manipulation from afar. It started grimacing within the elements, feeling its Aura being controlled unwillingly. As a result, the elements were also shaking.

"Huh?" Fluttershy and Applejack felt their elements trembling unexpectedly. There was an internal struggle happening inside of it. Before they knew it, something burst out of their elements with a roar of Aura. And the burst was so powerful, it pushed them both back, causing them to fall to the floor.

"Sis! Fluttershy!" Apple Bloom cried out, running to their side. But before she could get close, emerging out of the elements was the Giga Lucario. But it wasn't its usual gigantic size. It was comparable to two bedrooms at least. Still fairly large. It crashed near the tree, harming its back in the process. "W-What?!"

"Lucario!" Sunset and the others exclaimed.

"L-LU..." Lucario finally said something as it growled, getting on its knees. Fluttershy and Applejack were alright, thankfully. Right after the burst of Aura, Gardevoir's influence flowed within this realm even further. In the form of pink and purple wisps, it went for the combined tree.

Once the tree had been influenced, there was one directive goal with it. Deal with Lucario. And it would do just that. Shooting out of the tree were massive vines that had magic laced around them. The vines came roaring out, wrapping around Lucario's arms and neck. 

"RRRR!" The Giga Lucario growled as the gigantic vines violently raised it into the air.

"What's going on?!" Scootaloo exclaimed. Lucario wriggled, entering a struggle against the giant vines from the tree. But the vines didn't forget Applejack and the others. It quickly went in their direction, grabbing them as well. "Hey!"

"Oh!" Sunset gasped, trying to pull her leg away. But the overwhelming strength of the vines said otherwise. They easily overpowered her and everyone else. The only one able to quickly escape was Sceptile, who used his vines to swing away.

"Scep!" Sceptile landed on the stairs before witnessing how this array of giant vines had all of his friends tangled up and restrained. "Sceptile?!"

"The tree helped us out and now it's trying to get rid of us?!" A confused Roseluck roared. "What gives?!"

"I don't know but...!" Roxie tried pushing the vines away, only to end in failure. "These vines are crazy strong! But nothing a little poison cant deal with! Garbodor! If you can hear me! We need help!"

Roxie called for her Pokemon within their Poke Balls. However, the vines had promptly wrapped around everyone with extra layers and made sure to get their entire body. The pocket of Poke Balls that Roxie and Sunset Shimmer had were wrapped around by the vines along with the saddlebags of Fluttershy, Scootaloo, Applejack, Roseluck and Apple Bloom.

Access to most of their Pokemon had been denied. However, Fluttershy and Applejack mostly keep their Pokemon outside anyway. Apart from Applejack's Golett who was now stuck.

Just then, appearing from out of the tree as a face was Gardevoir. While having a battle in the Electric Realm, she could still communicate and interact with this realm. As seen by how she made the elements shake, forcing Lucario out and affecting the combined tree.

"G-Gardevoir!" Roxie and Sunset Shimmer both said.

"I'm impressed you're still around." She spoke with an echo-like voice with her Astral Projection. "All of you. I was certain that the destruction of the Grass Realm would kick you out of the Ataxia realm entirely. But it doesn't look to be that way."

"Huh? You weren't trying to get rid of us in that way?" Sunset was surprised by Gardevoir's words. She would've thought that Gardevoir had crueller intentions from them. But it was revealed to be that she just wanted them all gone. Apart from Ash that is.

"Obviously not. You're all, for the most part, harmless. It's Ash that I want. Everyone of you ended up here by accident, correct? And despite all of this, some of your friends would like me to be free from this place as well after being trapped for so long. It's only fair that I repay them the same way. But so far, none have managed to leave."

"Did you have to poison us to do so?!" Roxie shouted at her.

"I got a bit fussy and heated once you mentioned the potential defeat of Ataxia. As if I would let this realm and Ataxia end. Even after creating it, I need its uses. And for your friends to have the intention of destroying it disappoints me. But you disappoint me even more, Lucario."

"LU..." Lucario looked at the astral projection of Gardevoir's face.

"After trapping you here with me, I would've thought all those centuries together would've made you the most loyal ally I could ask for. Turns out, I was wrong. You still have your other side that originated from your Aura Guardian long ago. It's holding you back."

"W-What does that mean?" Fluttershy wondered.

"Don't you worry about that, my little pony. This is business between me and Lucario over here. You all are free to try and leave this realm by using that open hole in reality. But unfortunately, Ash, and a few other trainers now that I think about it, will stay. Their Aura is coming with me."

"We ain't leaving unless everypony comes along!" Applejack shouted, biting into the tree to try and break free.

"Come to think of it..." The Astral Projection of Gardevoir's face flew over. "I can sense Aura within you as well, earth pony. It's not as massive as Ash's but...It's impressively vast. Especially considering how your world is still new to Pokemon and yet you are hiding a latent amount of Aura within you. Ash, Celestia and you are showing great promise."

"You stay away from my big sister you...you...!" Apple Bloom was trying to find the best insult that she could. Unfortunately, it's hard to do so considering that Gardevoir was not based on an animal. But, Apple Bloom could relate her to one thing that was not related to her actual typing. "Big plant!"

"Hm." Gardevoir was not impressed by that insult. She then flew over to Lucario, facing the Aura Pokemon. "Lucario. Sweet girl. I still need your Aura. But maybe next time, you won't go against me. You caused my imprisonment so I'd say you deserve to stay in longer than I should. As for you, Applejack. You're staying with me."

"No, I ain't! Sceptile! Leaf Blade!"

"Scep...!" Sceptile then leapt off the stairs, summoning bladed leaves that extended. Gardevoir turned to face the Forest Pokemon, having an unimpressed expression. And this was because Sceptile's attack had phased through. "Tile?"

"Hahaha!" Gardevoir chuckled as Sceptile crashed into the tree. "I'm just an Astral Projection! Completely intangible. But my influence is physical as you can all see. Now then. you all are free to leave but not so carelessly. You could still stay behind and try something. But we'll see in a bit. "Just like that Gardevoir exited this realm with her projection fading away.

"What now? Our Poke Balls are stuck..." Scootaloo pouted.

"I can't get Roserade out either," said Roseluck. The vines continued to flow around them as Sceptile was the only one unrestrained. But the vines started circling around him, ready to strike at any moment. Even the Fire-Types could not burn these thick roots.

"Lucario." Fluttershy turned to the Aura Pokemon. "What Gardevoir just said..."

"LUCA..."

"I don't think Lucario can help right now, Flutters," Roxie commented. "We have to figure out a way out of this place. Plus, that open hole's the only way out of here and Gardevoir won't let us go unless she finishes whatever she's doing."

"CA." 

"Hm?" Fluttershy turned to the FIghting-Steel-Type, hearing her comment. Lucario then looked at Fluttershy with an upset look. Fluttershy then knew what to do. "I  don't know what's going on, honestly. But I can tell you want to help, Lucario."

"RRR?"

"So we'll help you. You want to stop Gardevoir too and everyone else is trying to do the same. Plus leaving here as well." The pegasus then gave a comforting smile to the Aura Pokemon. "We'll get you out of here. And every Lucario in every realm too."

"First we gotta break free. Sceptile." Applejack looked at her partner. "Counter those vines with some bigger vines, why don't you? Frenzy Plant!"

"Tile!" Sceptile them made a move. So did the vines as they raced towards him. He was easily the fastest Pokemon currently in this group as he jumped into the air, evading the vines. He made them crash into each other, shattering them in the process.

Afterwards, the Forest Pokemon had landed on one of the vines, promptly smashing his fist onto it. And by doing so, he had summoned a frantic array of vines from Frenzy Plant that started scattering. Vines against vines.

The vines started combating each other as Sceptile started running on them. The Forest Pokemon could see that the best way to deal with these vines was to have them smash into each other. It was the best approach as he evaded the next vines, causing them to crash and crumble.

The duelling vines were locked in a fierce battle with some of them wrapping around each other, breaking the other apart. However, more emerged from the combined Tree of Beginnings and Harmony.

"Scep! Sceptile!" Sceptile jumped and ran off on each vine, evading them as much as he could. But even Sceptile knew he couldn't keep this up for long as the walls and ceiling were being destroyed.

"LU...LU....!" Lucario wanted to help. Even when tied up, that didn't stop her from doing something. One of the greatest things about Aura was how it could still be used even when restrained. Lucario closed her eyes, allowing the Aura to exude from her body.

"Huh?" Fluttershy turned to Lucario. The method that she was using looked familiar. Something that Ash had done as Fluttershy recalled the battle against Bea. "Oh! That's just like what Riolu did!"

"LUCARIO!" Lucario then roared, allowing the Aura to cover Sceptile. Sceptile soon gained some of Lucario's strength to give him that extra boost. And it was one riveting boost. Sceptile felt better than ever as he used Leaf Blade, heading for one of the vines.

"Scep...TILE!" This time, Sceptile could damage them. He managed to slice the giant vines in half with his boosted Leaf lade, having the strength to break through their durability.

"Awesome!" Scootaloo and Roxie cheered.

"Sceptile!" Seeing that he had the extra strength, Sceptile went towards his friends to free them. The vines promptly chased after him. One of the vines grabbed Sceptile's leg, causing him to stop in place. "Tile?!" The giant vine then started pulling Sceptile away as more of them were appearing to grab the Forest Pokemon. "Sceptile!"

Sceptile began swinging his vines around, cutting apart the vines left and right. He even used Dragon Pulse which had also been boosted. He quickly shot it towards his friends. The boosted Dragon Pulse had struck the vines, damaging them, but not quite freeing his friends.

However, it did mean that they could have a better chance of escaping due to the weakened vines. Ponyta started heating his body up as Roxie, Apple Bloom and Applejack both started chewing the vines. Certainly an interesting method from all of them.

"LUCA!" Lucario managed to break free before anyone else, shattering the vines. And once she did so, the Giga Lucario then 
grabbed ahold of the vines before they could continue attacking Sceptile and even the ones surrounding those on her side.

With brute force, Lucario had ripped the vines off, freeing them. Once they were freed, Giga Lucario ended up holding them in her arms, keeping them close to her. "Oh my!" Fluttershy uttered after the grab.

"Sceptile!" Sceptile lunged in her direction, landing right on Giga Lucario's shoulder. Finally, Giga Lucario's full-body had materialized. Legs and everything. Giga Lucario then turned to see how the tree was being influenced by Gardevoir, going against the name harmony in it.

So, to combat this, Lucario used her Aura. Emanating more of it from her body, Lucario allowed it all to flow into the tree. But even when not present in this realm, even without an Astral Project, Gardevoir's influence remained. Her influence instantly fought back against Lucario's Aura, acting in a volatile way. Lucario wasn't about to let herself lose this at all.

She could see that the palace was also crumbling from this struggle. So, in response, Lucario had jumped into the air, using her massive body to break right through the palace as everyone held on for dear life. Giga Lucario also increased her size to how it was before.

And once she did so, she surpassed the height of the palace, breaking out of it as her head and upper body were all that were seen from afar. Normally, no one else would see it since everyone who had entered this realm were currently being held by Giga Lucario.

However, the trainers who came to help did.

Brawly, Bea, and Rumble who were now joined by Princess Luna and Sweetie Belle for extra assistance had seen Giga Lucario from afar, witnessing the titanic Aura Pokemon break out of the palace while standing at Deerling Forest. They stood back in shock as Lucario seemed bigger than before Due to her breaking the palace, the Tree of Beginning and Harmony had also been revealed.

"What the...?!" Brawly could only say those words as Lucario let out a triumphant roar in the sky. But there was no victory. Not yet.

Lucario quickly placed everyone down now that they were free from the danger of being crushed by the falling palace. But they were certainly still in danger from the vines, even though most of them were free to go.

Lucario then looked at the combined tree and how she would be at odds with it for a while. But she was used to the centuries being here so this didn't mean much at all.

"Lucario!" Fluttershy cried out the Aura Pokemon. In response, Lucario turned around, looking down at the smaller individuals. She then nudged her head, giving a sign to them. Fluttershy could tell what she meant by that as a choice had been made by the Aura Pokemon. "You're going to stay behind and fight it?!"

"LU!" She nodded in confirmation, facing the tree as giant vines came her way. Lucario then grabbed the vines as they almost pushed her over. There was now a struggle between a Titan Pokemon and a Titan Tre that shook the skies themselves.

"You heard the giant, Fluttershy! We've got a hole right there that can take us home! Let's go!" Roxie said as she and the others were already prepared to pass through the hole before anything else can happen.

Brawly's group noticed the others and how they were jetting it like there was no tomorrow. They quickly followed after them while also making sure to avoid the giant Lucario that was wrestling with astronomically large vines.

Lucario was now against Gardevoir, aiming to help those that she previously attacked. Gardevoir's quest to break free was still in motion but her plan to steal some Aura had multiplied once discovering Applejack has high Aura as well. The feud within the 18 Realms was nearing its end with intensity as the journey continues.


Chapter 650 End.
