Grass Realm.
At the Grass Realm, the Giga Lucario was still wrestling against the merged Tree of Beginning and Harmony. Lucario had fallen over, rupturing the ground as the destruction of this battle had shown. Trees were either obliterated or scattered across the area. Massive rubble resided next to them.
And in this realm was Princess Luna, who was currently stuck in this realm. She moved away from the falling Lucario before the destruction could come her way.
"What is happening...?" She said, staring at the destruction before her. "There should be a way out of this realm...and I fear that tree is the answer to it." She then looked at the giant tree, suspecting that it would help with leading her somewhere. Luna also knew that if she got involved, that would mean having to battle against this giant tree as well.
But before she could do that, the Princess of the Night noticed the arrival of another door. Her attention was turned towards it as falling out of the door was Fluttershy, who had previously been sent here by Gardevoir.
"Fluttershy! Audino!" She flew over to them once they dropped to the ground. She made sure to avoid any incoming rubble as the roots of the trees had grabbed Lucario off of the ground, pulling her up. "Are you two alright?!"
"Princess Luna..." Fluttershy groaned as Luna helped them both up.
"A-Audino..."
"Where is everypony else?" Luna looked around, seeing that none of the others were with Fluttershy and Audino like they were before.
"It's Gardevoir." Fluttershy held her head. "She still has them at the Flying Realm. She's going to take the Auras of some of them."
"She is most certainly not!" Luna shook her head before looking at the door that brought Fluttershy here. She knew that if it was closed and vanished like the others, then that would seize her chance of getting anywhere else. "Perhaps Lunar Ire can do something!"
Luna decided to use the magic of Lunar Ire to potentially do something about the door. The door was about to vanish, only for Luna's eyes to glow red. A dark blue and red magical beam came from her horn, quickly wrapping itself around the door. Luna managed to hold it in place before it vanish and close.
She could indeed interact with these doors after seeing how Sorrowful Rage Magic could act within this realm. And she was keeping it steady while Lucario was being continuously held back by the combined Tree of Beginning and Harmony, struggling to break free.
"I-I can't hold it...!" Luna strained as the door inevitably ended up vanishing out of thin air, causing Luna's grip on it to end. It was a failed attempt. But it showed that her magic could do something here. "No good. I was too late. But at least I know what I can do now. Let us hurry to the next realm and-"
"Wait! What about Lucario?!" Fluttershy aimed her hoof at the Giga Lucario and her struggle with the tree. Luna also looked back at the Giga Lucario as the giant Aura Pokemon ended up exuding Aura from her body, pushing the vines of the tree back.
The rubble had also been blown away as the earth trembled. Luna pulled Fluttershy and Audino away from the shockwaves and incoming rubble from this Aura exertion as a massive chasm was formed after the destruction.
And due to the rubble being scattered, that was when the hole that lead to somewhere else, possibly either the centre of the 18 Realms or Reality instead.
"Oh!" Luna noticed the hole. "Over there! If there was any other time for us to leave, it would be now! Come along!"
"But we have to help Lucario first!" Fluttershy still insisted on helping Lucario against the tree as the Aura Pokemon had then received continuous blows from the heavy and thick roots. She took the pummeling head-on, staggering and almost falling over once more.
"Fluttershy! Everypony else needs our help!" But Luna insisted on helping everyone else in the 18 Realms. "The sooner we all leave, the better!"
"I'm not leaving without Lucario!" Fluttershy chose to stay until Lucario was safe and done with this tree struggle. Her face made it even clear as Lucario grabbed ahold of the roos before they could continue pummeling her. Luna looked at Fluttershy, then at Lucario and then back at Fluttershy.
"Hah..." Luna sighed. "Absolute kindness..." She then had a smile form on her face. "Very well. We'll help."
"Thank you, Princess Luna!" Grateful, Fluttershy flew over to hug Luna, catching her off guard. And as she flew over, she had just managed to avoid some incoming rubble as well.
"Alright, alright." Luna giggled. "So all we have to do is defeat that tree, correct?" She asked as Fluttershy nodded her head in confirmation. "Simple and straightforward. Excellent."
The two of them faced the tree as Lucario was met with a thicket of trees that bombarded her. The only reason Lucario has managed to withstand this long was thanks to her Steel-Typing. Otherwise, she would've been down and out long ago.
Lucario got on one knee, breathing in and out as she was feeling overwhelmed. And yet, thanks to the golden sun, the tree was always energized and ready to dish out some more attacks. It had then sent hundreds of sharp vines towards Lucario, ready to strike her down.
But just then, before they could even touch Lucario, the vines froze there for a moment. And once they froze, they had suddenly been split in half with a burst of magic. As the split vines fell to the ground, Lucario looked over to see that it was Luna who was responsible for that split.
"LU?"
"It's okay, Lucario!" Fluttershy flew over to the Aura Pokemon. "We're here!"
The tree then violently flailed its vines around, now targeting Luna after her initial attack. But Princess Luna wouldn't do this alone. With her magic, she held out some of her Poke Balls, sending her Pokemon out for assistance.
Gliscor, Aurorus, Florges and Xatu had been sent out. Unfortunately, Darkrai, her ace, was still in reality back at Canterlot. But even without Darkrai, all of them were still capable without needing to rely on the Pitch Black Pokemon. Lucario smiled, knowing that there were those that had her back even after all of these years.
It was now all of them against this tree.
Bug Realm.
At the Bug Realm, exclusively for Bug-Type Pokemon, the location was fitting as it was a gigantic hive. In fact, it matched more of a colony than a hive.
Despite this being a colony, there were no Bug Pokemon around. But there were Trainers and their own Bug Pokemon that had found themselves here. More specifically, Rarity and Adagio only. Just those two and nothing more. They were by far the smallest group but with the most Pokemon due to Rarity's 12 Leavanny.
And it wasn't just them. Other Pokemon that were not of the Bug category were here. Sent here by Gardevoir were the Pokemon that knew Aura Sphere. A Blaziken, Kommo-o and even a Togekiss.
Just now, they had entered an inevitable scuffle with them. Or really, Rarity did. She was the one engaging with the Pokemon as her Pheromosa had slid back.
"Pheromosa! Are you alright!?" Rarity gasped as Pheromosa had just recently been in a kicking struggle with Blaziken. She jumped to another room in the colony with her legs feeling the flames of Blaziken's Blaze Kick.
"Phero...!"
"Togekiss!" In came Togekiss with Air Slash, flapping its wings and shooting cutting waves of wind at the Lissome Pokemon. Pheromosa ran back, just barely managing to avoid them.
"Adagio! How come you aren't doing anything?!" Rarity roared at Adagio was casually sitting in one of the hives within the colony, yawning.
"Not my problem." She simply shrugged. "They seem to only gravitate towards you and not me."
"It'll soon be your problem if you don't help out at all!"
"Maybe you shouldn't have put on such an intoxicating aroma today, hm? Hohohoho!" Adagio chuckled before receiving a quick dose of karma. Right as she was laughing pompously, something ended up snatching her with an aura of water at high speed. "Wagh!"
"Clawitzer!" It was a Clawitzer. It swooped in, grabbing Adagio's massive mane while also carrying her.
"Hah!" Rarity wheezed, laughing at Adagio's capture, looking at the trail of water flowing in the air. But soon, she received a surprise once Blaziken and Togekiss both came flying in with Aerial Ace. "Oh!" She gasped, turning around to see them both incoming at high speeds. "Return, Pheromosa!"
She recalled Pheromosa, saving her from being taken out in one hit. She had saved her partner, but in return, she ended up putting herself in danger. Rarity quickly put up a shield of magic to protect herself as Blaziken and Togekiss both slammed into the shields.
"Blaziken!" Blaziken then started beating on the shield repeatedly, attempting to break it. Togekiss unleashed a barrage of rainbows via Dazzling Gleam as the pressure was being put on Rarity.
"Toge!
"Put..me...down!" Adagio yelled, exuding magic from her body. The magic had pushed Clawitzer away, ruining its Aqua Jet flow completely. The siren-pony hybrid then quickly recovered herself by flapping her wings as Blaziken managed to shatter Rarity's shield.
"Ken!"
"Oh my!" Rarity gasped after seeing her shied break apart. Now she was truly in danger of being hit as the rainbows of Dazzling Gleam were sent towards her. And with little time to make a shield, Rarity was sure to be hit.
But, despite their recent quarrel, Adagio decided to help either way. She groaned, quickly protecting Rarity with a magical coating and shield, nullifying the rainbows that came towards her. Rarity had one eye open, seeing how she was fully protected by Adagio.
After protecting her, Adagio blew both Blaziken and Togekiss away with her magic, giving Rarity some space. The siren-pony hybrid then descended, landing next to the unicorn. "Alright, fine. I guess it's my problem now too."
"Was it not in the beginning?" Rarity smirked. "But thank you for saving me either way."
"Let's just hurry up and find a way to leave this place. This colony is unnecessarily huge." Indeed, they were practically lost. The moment they entered this colony, it was set in stone that they would have a hard time navigating the area.
And with just the two of them, it was a miracle that they hadn't lost each other yet, calling for their names. They wanted to put an end to these attacking Pokemon already since they were more of a sudden nuisance than a threat. Rarity held out one of her Poke Balls, throwing it out. "Go! Ampharos!"
"Ampha...ROS!" Upon emerging, Ampharos showcased his power by emanating a violent array of electricity from his body that flew everywhere.
"And to add to that. A quick Mega Evolution will-" Just as Rarity was about to activate Ampharos' Mega Evolution, Adagio, but first, it was Kricketot, sensed some newcomers to the area.
"Wait!" Adagio turned around with Kricketot poking his head out of the playful mane.
"I'm about to make things dramatic, what is it?" Rarity turned to Adagio, halting her Mega Evolution initiation. Adagio then looked ahead as a visible smile of happiness formed on her face.
"Sisters!" She cried out as indeed, her sisters were here. Along with the company of Fleur-de-lis and Minuette. They had entered this realm, but in reality, they had been here for a while. It was just that the massive colony made it hard for them to find each other. "You made it here?!"
"Yeah...And it took a lot of sweat and tears..." Aria breathed in and out as her mane was a mess. "All those attacking Pokemon are just insane..."
"Eeyup..." Sonata fell flat on her face, almost on the verge of fainting. Whatever they went through back there must've had a greater tax on them than the Water Realm.
"It wasn't as hard as the Water Realm." Fleur helped them up. "Stop being so dramatic. At least put some emphasis on it."
"Mmm..." Rarity pouted as her dramatic showcase for Mega Evolution had been broken. Disheartened by this she simply tapped on the keystone to begin the process. "Mega Evolve." She said with a bored tone. The lights flared from the keystone, rushing to the Light Pokemon.
"Ampharos!" The usual process for Mega Evolution occurred with the various light energies and especially Infinity Energy began showing. Bursting out of it was Mega Ampharos.
And speaking of the Pokemon that Sonata and Aria had to deal with, some of them were still around, pursuing them. They could be seen moving through the many Combee-shaped hives, feeling a bit lost themselves. But their Pokemon senses allowed them to traverse the area much better than the ponies.
"Oh come on..." Aria groaned once she saw the incoming Pokemon.
"No need to worry about them. All we need is this." Rarity then faced the Pokemon, already having a sure-fire to end this from how she put it. "Ampharos! Thunder!"
"Ampha...!" Ampharos began charging up, building up high amounts of voltage. He wanted to make sure this single Thunder was enough to deal with an entire group. And with the lightning flaring out of his body from the buildup, this alerted many of the opposing Pokemon.
"Maybe he needs a closer range, don't you think?" Fleur suggested as they would assist Ampharos in hitting every opposing Pokemon here. "Come along!" She and Minuette advanced, allowing their pursuers to keep chasing them. Aria and Sonata felt exhausted to move as Fleur used her magic to carry both of them.
The Pokemon followed suit as Ampharos kept charging up. Rarity looked around for a safe spot to hide. Ampharos' electricity could still hit allies due to how frantic it can get.
"There has to be someplace to hide...!" Rarity navigated her head as Ampharos' electricity could potentially hit the other hives from every direction, making the choices of hiding harder to come by.
"Just put up a magic shield." Adagio shrugged. "Easy enough."
"Not easy when you have so much power in one attack!" Rarity shook her head. "Why don't you put up a magic shield then, Adagio? Save us both."
"Hah. I don't need to." Adagio flipped her mane. "I'll be fine."
"Just like how you were when Clawitzer showed up to snatch you." Rarity quickly replied, making Adagio twitch and grimace.
"Are you doubting my magical capabilities?" Adagio rushed in as she and Rarity butted heads once more. It seemed typical for this to happen between them.
"Are you doubting Ampharos' electricity?"
"AMPHA!" After building up enough energy, Ampharos unleash the full force of Thunder, releasing 400,000 volts of electricity from his body in every possible direction.
"No, Ampharos, WA-" Rarity put her hooves out but it was too late. She ended up being shocked along with Adagio and Kricketot. "Ggggh!"
"Gaaah!"
"K-Krick!"
But of course, the opposing Pokemon were hit as well. All of them received the full force of Ampharos' lightning. And a majority of them received super-effective damage. The many Clauncher, the Togekiss and even a few Wartortle and Blastoise here and there were hit hard.
The electricity lit up the entire colony, making its already yellow appearance more vibrant to the eyes. Fleur-de-lis, Minuette, Aria and Sonata were punished as well as no one was spared. The opposing Pokemon had fainted along with Kricketot.
"Ampharos." Ampharos took a deep sigh as all the Pokemon dropped like flies. He then turned to face Rarity, giving a grin and knowing that she would be proud of him. And she was. While also looking burnt. "Ampharos?"
"Cuh..." Rarity coughed out smoke as her mane was now radical thanks to the electricity. "Excellent output as always, darling..."
"Ampha..." Ampharos laughed nervously after shocking everyone so hard. The defeated Pokemon had then disappeared into Aura particles, much like the previous ones.
Rarity's group watched as they faded away. This sight wasn't new to them at all but they still weren't sure what it all meant exactly. Ampharos' Mega Evolution had ended right after that, but despite this victory, the Light Pokemon did not let his guard down.
And he did well to not do so. Ampharos immediately sensed someone new entering this realm. And it wasn't anyone he recognized. The LIght Pokemon shifted his head and attention instantly into the air. "Pharos!"
"What is it, Ampharos?" Rarity asked as she had sent out Milotic to clean everyone up with Hydro Pump. Their manes and coats were all wet as Sonata started shaking the wetness off of her like a dog.
"Ew...!" Aria grimaced, pulling back as some of the water got on her. Minuette used her magic to manipulate her manestyle while it was still wet, coming up with different looks. She couldn't seem to find the right one, but Fleur-de-lis could, using her magic on Minuette to find the perfect manestyle that satisfied her.
But as they were all taking a breather and getting cleaned up, that was when the unexpected guest arrived. In a flash of Psychic and Fairy light plus sitting on one of the higher hives. It was Gardevoir.
"Are you done?" She said, grabbing their attention.
"Oh!" Rarity gasped, quickly turning to the Shiny Gardevoir. "You...You're that Gardevoir everypony mentioned!"
"Ampharos!"
"Hiiii~" She whistled at the with her signature cocky smile. However, despite it being cocky, there was something off about it. Gardevoir wasn't feeling as chipper as she was earlier. But she did feel energized with Aura flowing out of her, most likely from the ones she had absorbed previously.
"I heard most everything. You and your Aura stealing shenanigans," said Rarity. "All of the Lucario and Aura Guardians that you've stolen for in the past and the creation of Delayed Aura Ataxia. How could you make something like that?"
"Streamlined and simplicity, darling." Gardevoir mocked Rarity's way of speaking. "And speaking of Aura, I just got done absorbing some new Aura in the Flying Realm. What were their names?" She then gave a pondering face. "Ah yes. Applejack, Brawly, Bea and Rumble. And I suppose those other three pegasi with their Z-Moves as well."
"What?!" Rarity gasped after hearing those names. She even knew about Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Soarin since they also own Z-Moves. But she was also thinking that it might be Scootaloo instead of Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash. Either way, their Auras were absorbed. "Why you...!"
"You have no idea how refreshing it is." Gardevoir shook her head. "I've been here absorbing Auras from Lucario that I've already absorbed from. Absorbing fresh Aura from the modern-day, especially new ones from another world is just absolutely satisfying."
"Kricketot..." Kricketot appeared out of Adagio's mane, growling at the Embrace Pokemon and her recent actions.
"You would even steal from a child?!" Fleur-de-lis stepped forward.
"No one gets missed out. And I can also sense some from you as well." Gardevoir made a sinister stare, glaring at Fleur-de-lis and knowing about her Waterium Z. She then stood up, standing tall on the hive. "And especially you, Rarity. You have double the Aura for me to steal. Mega Evolution for two of your Pokemon, correct."
"Tch!" Rarity scoffed as Ampharos stood in front of her partner.
"I thought Gardevoir was supposed to be a super sweet Pokemon that everyone can hug and love?" Aria whispered.
"Ehh...Wasn't the case for that Togepi that showed up in Ponyville. Looks can be pretty deceiving sometimes. But it's still a good-looking Pokemon either way." Minuette whispered back.
"But it's strange..." Gardevoir then looked at her hand, unleashing a massive flow of Aura that trembled the realm and everypony within it. Most of this Aura came from Applejack, who had a stunning amount of Aura within her that Gardevoir could now tap into.
Despite this wonderful Aura and how she was glad to have it, Gardevoir couldn't help but think about Fluttershy for a moment. It wasn't what she was expecting to think of at all.
"Why can't I stop thinking about that...Oh well. As long as I can keep my mind on what's important and eventually break free of this realm, I'll be fine. First, I have to deal with you all since you'll be getting in my way as well. Don't worry though. Due to...a recent interaction, you'll be let go."
"And what makes you think we won't come after you when all of this is said and done?" Adagio asked.
"You won't find me at all, that's for sure!" Gardevoir then put her arm out, using the power of Aura and the 18-Types. So far, nothing had happened. Nothing came out of her arms. No beams, spheres, rays or anything.
Eventually, something did happen. Two things happened. From behind Gardevoir and emerging from the many hives were these unidentified bugs that only had the appearance of black dots. They made a constant and irritating sound while also appearing as millions.
Millions of these strange bugs appeared around every corner with their constant buzzing as they rapidly made their way towards the group in absurd and untold millions.
"Sweet Celestia..." Rarity uttered.
"She won't save you." Gardevoir replied as the hives that the group stood in and every other hive started shuffling, moving under Gardevoir's control and allowing for the enigmatic bugs to navigate differently. But more than that, the hive they stood on had separated, taking them each somewhere else.
"Woah!" Sonata screeched as she was carried off elsewhere, away from her sisters in this gargantuan hive.
"I've learned my lesson. You're all much stronger when together. Separate and I can pick you all off like flies. Heh. I made a joke." Gardevoir snorted after her joke, laughing viciously.
"Ampharos! Milotic!" Rarity held her hoof out as she was being pulled away from her partners.
"Stay close to me, Kricketot!" Adagio exclaimed as Kricketot gripped onto Adagio's mane tightly, holding on for dear life. And not only would they have to hold on, but they would also have to be reminded of these enigmatic bugs.
At first, they didn't seem harmless, but once contact had been made with them, the reality of how effective they could be had been. By themselves, they didn't seem that strong. But that all changed when they swarmed around each group in mass numbers.
Their strength was instantly multiplied and added when working together as they could do significant actions. But the one true thing they were good at was being irritating and distracting. What would usually be mild annoyances became full-time annoyances and visible physical contact that went beyond just an itch.
As for Gardevoir, she would start moving from hive to hive to deal with each of them. Rarity and the other unicorns plus Adagio used their magic to shield themselves from the bugs while Ampharos and Milotic would spray and shock them.
There were so many areas and so many hives in this colony and their constant moving teased at a seemingly endless ride throughout the area with no end. The bugs repeatedly buzzed around the shield, trying to break it by tackling them.
Rarity still didn't think too much of them. At the surface, they truly felt like bugs that would never leave until something was done. But she was soon proven wrong once the bugs suddenly used their combined strength to grab Rarity's shield while she was still on it.
"Oh!" Rarity exclaimed after seeing their combined strength. "Oh wait. They're bugs." She then realized this was typical as bugs are stronger in numbers. After realizing this, the bugs then started slamming Rarity and her shield against the hive walls, appearing as a black trail. "Ugh!"
Rarity, even while protected, could feel the staggering shockwave each time her shield hit the walls. And fittingly, Adagio had the same idea as her and received the same treatment. Fleur and Minuette's shields were being gradually shattered over time as well.
Unfortunately, those who couldn't cast shields were in for a rough time. Mainly Aria and Sonata. They had been carried by the bugs, restrained and unable to do much. But the bugs didn't slam them against the wall. Instead, they simply pinned them against the wall, preventing them from moving.
"Ow-ow-ow!" Sonata cried out while pinned, trying to squirm her hooves but to no avail. "I-It stings!" Indeed, something was sitting her, causing the pain to kick in.
Gardevoir then appeared in front of Sonata while the barrage of bugs continued swarming and crawling on her, making her uncomfortable. Gardevoir then observed Sonata, using her senses to see if she had Aura. But there was no worthwhile Aura in Sonata.
"Hm...No." Gardevoir shook her head. "Your Aura is too low!"
"Huh?!" Sonata took that to heart as Gardevoir left this hives, heading to another. Sonata pouted as she was hoping she had a high Aura that could be noticed. But that wasn't the case as the bugs continued to swarm and restrain her. "Aww..."
She then appeared at the hive where Aria was. Aria had some extra muscle to her compared to her little sister. She could move her hooves a bit more. shoving bugs out of the way. But they would always return as Aria then got on the floor, unable to fully free herself. Gardevoir then appeared, looking down at Aria and her current struggle.
"Hm...You certainly have the muscle."
"Obviously I do!" Aria groaned. "Out of my sisters, I'm the most physically strongest out of them!"
"But you're not strong in Aura." The Embrace Pokemon then turned around, heading to another hive as Aria was left to struggle. Now came the unicorns.
The bugs weren't making too much progress by smashing their shields. So, they did something greater. Altogether, they generated a buzzing sound that was done at a high frequency. This frequency travelled throughout the hives due to how many bugs there were, prompting the other bugs to do the same.
And with this frequency, everypony's shields had shattered. The buzzing was too strong due to its absurd magnitude. Rarity, Adagio, Minuette and Fleur gasped as they were now vulnerable. Before Rarity could grab another one of her Poke Balls, the bugs had restrained her by wrapping around her horn and hooves.
Rarity screeched as Gardevoir had appeared. "This is disgusting! What kind of bugs are these?!"
"They're not of any species." Gardevoir said. "They're entirely unique to me. Something only I can create. Manifestations of other bugs merged into one. Aside from that...I've been missing out on Mega Evolution energy. Even it is connected to Aura in a way. And you have twice the Mega Evolution in you."
"Try all you want, I won't let you have it!"
"Your Pokemon are already far from you in this massive hive. It's just you and me." Gardevoir leaned forward.
"You underestimate the persistence of my Ampharos." Rarity smirked as she knew she could count on Ampharos even in a situation such as this. And with the sound of a booming lightning bolt, Gardevoir's attention was thrown elsewhere. Flashes of golden lights could be seen slipping through the gaps of each hive with sparks flying out too.
Not only that but Gardevoir could see that some of her bugs were flying off, not attacking the others but instead going in one direction only with a variety of diverging paths.
"What the...?" Gardevoir squinted her eyes as Rarity started chuckling.
"You said that these bugs are other bugs merged into one, correct? That means, somewhere in there, they're vulnerable and attracted to one thing. Light. Either by pain or attraction. Or both."
"!!" Gardevoir also realized this. And since Ampharos was the Light Pokemon, capable f generating light so bright it can be seen from space, this meant that her bugs would gravitate elsewhere.
And with the addition of Ampharos' electricity, the intensity of the lights increased as some of them were leaving Rarity's body, giving her some freedom gradually.
"Bug-Types are stronger together. There's no doubt about it." Rarity shook her head. "But no amount of mass numbers are greater than light and it always shows. Aside from maybe a mirror."
"Sneaky little...!" Gardevoir turned to Rarity with a growl as the unicorn used her magic to blow some of the bugs away, finally having freedom. Gardevoir slid back as the magic pulse affected her as well.
"Luckily for me, I have a few bugs who far surpass yours in strength. Even with just a single one! Leavanny! Pheromosa!" She then used her magic to throw out all of her Bug Pokemon. Her 12 Leavanny and single Pheromosa.
"Leavanny!" All 12 of them cried.
"Pheromosa!"
"W-What is that thing?!" Gardevoir pointed at Pheromosa as this was her first time seeing a Pokemon like that. "And why is it so tall?!"
"Oho? What's this I hear?" Rarity made a cheeky Pokerface while also leaning in, putting her hoof near her ear. "You don't know what an Ultra Beast is? How juicy!"
"What in the name of Almighty Sinnoh is an Ultra Beast!?" She questioned with further confusion.
"Don't you worry about that for now. For you see, Gardevoir..." Rarity walked up as Pheromosa carried her, placing the unicorn on her shoulder. Rarity then sat in the same way Gardevoir did when she showed up at the hive. "My Pokemon and I are essentially the perfect counter to you. Not only do we have the light for your bugs but you yourself don't do well against bugs, do you?"
"Grr...!" Gardevoir was getting agitated as visible veins were showing.
"Granted, you're lucky that your Fairy-Typing allows you to be neutral against them. But aside from that, Bugs work better at close range. And your species isn't exactly the most physically defensive type are they?"
"Y-You're a smart one, Rarity." Gardevoir let out a crooked smile, annoyed that Rarity was this good.
"I know, darling. But I'm disappointed. As a Psychic-Type, I would've thought you would be smarter than me. Oh well. Let's make this quick Leavanny! Restrain her with String Shot! Pheromosa, use Triple Kick"
"Mosa!" Pheromosa tossed Rarity into the air before moving at lightning speeds. Speeds that even Gardevoir could not see coming. The Embrace Pokemon then gasped as she was met with three consecutive kicks.
One kick to the face which made her head swish to the side with open eyes, another kick to the stomach and a stylish backflip kick for style points. All three of those consecutive kicks sent her into the air.
"W-What is this comically insane speed...?" She thought to herself, feeling winded from those three powerful hits. But it was about to get worse for her. Pheromosa's ability Beast Boost increased her already ludicrous speed.
"Again!"
"Mosa!" Pheromosa then did it again, faster than the string could reach Gardevoir, giving her another consecutive kick of three that only further befuddled the Embrace Pokemon, stunning her.
As she was stunned in the air, the Leavanny all sent their strings in unison. Gardevoir quickly snapped back to her senses, still feeling befuddled. She quickly used Psychic to move the strings away.
"Bug Buzz, Pheromosa!"
"Phero!" Pheromosa then ran in, using the same tactic that the bugs used to shatter the shields. When close to Pheromosa, she had vibrated her antennae to generate a damaging sound wave that reached Gardevoir faster than she was expecting.
"Ugh!" Gardevoir trembled, covering her ears as the strings from String Shot ended up catching her. "!" They instantly wrapped around the Psychic-Fairy-Type with multiple layers.
"Can't handle Pheromosas speed, can you?" Rarity said, sitting casually. "You have a lot to learn about the modern world, darling. Now! One of you, get in there with X-Scissor! Pheromosa, assist them with Triple Kick!"
"Leavanny!" One of Rarity's Leavanny ended up approaching Gardevoir with X Scissor while Pheromosa ran past the Nurturing Pokemon, moving at ludicrous speeds.
Gardevoir could see that she could not keep up with Pheromosa's speed at all. This was all new to her. Especially since this was her first time encountering an Ultra Beast. Panicking, Gardevoir had decided to use everything she could to come out on top.
With her eyes glowing, Gardevoir tapped in the most recent Aura she had taken. And especially Applejack's Aura. Her eyes then flashed, giving off a blinding light as a collection of Auras burst out of her body, breaking the strings apart and granting her freedom. Pheromosa came to a screeching halt, being able to react in time. She quickly stopped Leavanny from advancing any further to keep the Nurturing Pokemon safe.
"Phero?"
"Lea?"
"Hm?" Rarity sat up. Gardevoir had pushed herself. Using Applejack's Aura along with a few others caused a volatile reaction. One that started breaking the colony apart. The bugs within the hive were already distracted and being taken out by Ampharos' lightning, but this was only boosted once the trembling of Auras began.
Everypony looked around, witnessing the natural blue colours of Aura flow across the colony. But it was doing more than just shaking it. Something was appearing in the middle. A crack. Gardevoir started pushing the limits of her Aura to the max, especially when experiencing Applejack's Aura.
"So this is Applejack's Aura..." She said to herself while still having her eyes glow. "This is...AMAZING!" She bellowed with joy as this wasn't even Ash's Aura yet, who was lightyears bigger than Applejack's.
"I knew Applejack had something but...not to this extent..." Rarity backed away as she and the there noticed the crack. There was a crack in the 18 Realms appearing from Gardevoir's Aura release.
However, it was so great that even Gardevoir was having a hard time controlling it. "T-This is a lot!" The Embrace Pokemon growled as the crack in the 18 Realms showed some of the other realms, allowing everyone to see the crack.
Gardevoir then took a deep breath, allowing herself to take it all in before it could destroy. Gardevoir then smiled as there was now a massive gaping hole in the realms with Gardevoir now having more power than she already did. But this also exposed her to everyone else in the other realms.
Gardevoir then lowered her head, giving another crooked smile that was slightly unhinged from the previous one. And noticeably, her body was starting to become ethereal. Just like the Ethereal Lucario that reside here.
As the journey continues.
Chapter 653 End.
