Equestria. Ponyville. The Pokemon Festival. Nightfall.
Daybreaker had launched her big attack and it involved using the enigmatic Fairy Matter to captivate many near Canterlot with a beautiful sight. Afterwards, their bodies were transformed into Fairy Magic that could be collected and sent to Necrozma as fuel.
The circular ships from her Empire were used as a way to siphon them and at this moment, some of them were approaching Ponyville, where many were completely stuck, looking at the beautiful sight in the sky or their bodies had already become Fairy Magic.
"Ngh...Gh!" However, managing to break out of the trance of the Fairy Matter was Fluttershy along with Pinkie Pie. Both of them would grunt, shaking their heads and coming back to their senses.
"Oooh...What was that?" Pinkie Pie uttered with her eyes wobbling. "My Fairy Magic went wild for some reason."
"I think it's because of that." Fluttershy pointed her hoof at the Fairy Matter in the sky. The only reason these two broke free was thanks to the Fairy Magic they were already trained in. "Rainbow Dash! Rarity!" Fluttershy bellowed at her friends, desperately trying to wake them from the captivating trance induced by the Fairy Matter. "Applejack?!"
Not even Applejack was snapping out of it. No one was. They were far too captivated by the sight in the night sky. And on top of that, approaching the scene were the ships, ready to siphon the Fairy Magic. Fluttershy and Rarity were greatly outnumbered, being the only ponies wide awake.
Just as Fluttershy and Rarity felt the weight of the impending doom, a sudden burst of energy erupted from above. A brilliant Hyper Beam streaked across the night sky, striking one of the approaching ships with pinpoint accuracy. The ship erupted into a blistering explosion, catching the attention of the mesmerized ponies below.
"Golurk!" Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie gasped in awe as the powerful attack was revealed to be the work of Golurk, and not just one but multiple of them descended from the skies. These towering Pokemon, allies from Canterlot, soared through the air with Canterlot Guards on their backs. Celestia had foreseen Daybreaker's final assault during the Pokemon Festival and had summoned the Golurk.
The Golurk rained down various attacks such as Hyper Beam and Shadow Ball, targeting the ships that tried to siphon up the Fairy Magic. They were unable to siphon the Fairy Magic because of this interruption and even the Golurk had them outnumbered this time.
However, that wasn't going to fix the enchantment everyone was in. They were still captivated after all. One of the Golurk and the troops descended to meet with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, who were the only ones active.
"Oh, you two are alright." He said. "Just as Princess Celestia predicted.
"We're so glad you're here! We tried waking everyone up but nothing's working!" Fluttershy said with a desperate tone. But she then reacted to what the guard had just said. "Predicted?"
"You only broke free because you're trained in Fairy Magic thanks to Valerie. Her Majesty is also trained in it. She was able to resist and ignore the captivation of that Fairy Matter in the sky." He explained.
"But how do we break them out of it. All this loud noise isn't even working!" Pinkie Pie requested.
"Princess Celestia theorizes that if you can use your Fairy Magic, you could free them." The troop explained. "You're the only two here with the most amount of it after all."
"Just us two though?" Fluttershy said, looking at Pinkie Pie. At the same time, the booming sound of the conflict in the sky startled them.
Pinkie Pie, despite the chaos around her, knew what had to be done. "Well, it's just us here, so...We're not gonna waste Valerie's work, right?"
"I guess so." Fluttershy nodded, finding courage in Pinkie Pie's enthusiasm. "Raboot and Bayleef won't snap out of it, but at least you're still fine, Audi." Thankfully, Audino was fine, thanks to the Fairy Magic within her. "Alright. What to do, what to do..." Fluttershy put her hooves on her head, thinking of the best possible way to free them. Unlike Psychic-Type specialists, who could always enter the minds of others, Fairy Magic took a different approach.
The Canterlot Troop quickly got back to his duty, having his Golurk ascend to deal with the circular ships in the air. Fluttershy was doing her best to come up with something as the main thing that finally hit was the overwhelming Heal Pulse that Mega Audino was capable of.
"It's our best option." Fluttershy said, concluding on her plan. It worked yesterday on the Kirin when they were about to emerge as the Nirik, so she was hoping the same could be said for this scenario which had a joyous emotion involved instead of an irritated one. "We'll overload them with Heal Pulse. That should replace the trance they're all in."
"Great idea!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed. Only Fluttershy could do it though since she had the power of Mega Evolution at her disposal. Since Pinkie Pie's Mew was also captivated by it and her Slurpuff certainly can't Mega Evolve, Fluttershy was the only hope here.
The pegasus took out her Key Stone while Audino already summoned her Mega Stone, the Audinite. The time for Mega Evolution was now. The two stones, the Mega Stone held by Fluttershy and the Audinite worn by Audino, resonated with each other in perfect harmony. A dazzling light enveloped Audino's body, signalling the initiation of the Mega Evolution process.
The radiant glow expanded, casting a brilliant aura around Mega Audino as its form underwent a transformative surge of power. The air crackled with the energy of Mega Evolution, and the enchanting light captured the attention of those around.
"Audino!" Mega Audino was here.
"Please work. Use Heal Pulse!"
"Audino...!" The Hearing Pokemon put her hands together, tapping into the soothing energy of Heal Pulse. A brilliant green light left Audino's body, having a radius effect. It would first reach her friends Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash who were still smiling. Fluttershy was also praying that this would work, hoping that this was the answer.
Audino was pushing herself to her limit. This was the most she's ever had to exert Heal Pulse and it showed. Never before has using Heal Pulse been this painful.
"Mmm...!" Doing this was straining Fluttershy as well, affecting her own energy. She and Audino were putting their all into this. Despite the pain and fatigue, Fluttershy and Mega Audino pressed on, fueled by their unwavering resolve. The green light continued to radiate, reaching every corner of Ponyville. The once-captivated ponies, now experiencing the unique effects of Heal Pulse, found themselves enveloped in a profound sense of joy and well-being.
The Canterlot Guards, Golurk, and the troop watched in awe as Fluttershy and Mega Audino persevered, their dedication evident in the powerful waves of healing magic they unleashed. The town, once shrouded in enchantment, was now bathed in the revitalizing energy of Mega Audino's Heal Pulse.
In the expansive night sky above, the clash between Daybreaker's troops and Celestia's forces unfolded with breathtaking intensity. The circular ships, initially perceived as vessels for siphoning Fairy Magic, revealed their hidden capabilities as they engaged in a relentless aerial brawl.
The air crackled with magical energy as the opposing forces darted and weaved, executing excellent manoeuvres in the celestial battlefield. Circular ships soared and spiralled, leaving trails of mystical light in their wake, while Golurk, with Canterlot Guards astride them, responded with agile movements, showcasing their remarkable speed and agility despite their massive frames.
The celestial canvas became a symphony of lights and explosions as energy beams and projectiles shot through the night. The air reverberated with the echoing roars and battle cries of the Golurk and Canterlot Guards, each maneuver calculated to outwit and outmanoeuvre their adversaries. Brilliant bursts of colour erupted across the sky as attacks collided, creating spectacular displays of magic that painted the heavens in hues of radiant energy.
At that moment, by pushing herself enough, Fluttershy and Mega Audino managed to affect everyone in Ponyville. Heal Pulse reached an astonishing vibrance that was at its most beautiful in the night sky.
"Uh..." Rainbow Dash groaned, her voice carrying a hint of disorientation as she began to exit the trance-like state induced by the Fairy Matter. The dazzling display of Heal Pulse in the night sky reflected in her eyes, and the sense of euphoria replaced the confusion that had clouded her mind moments ago.
Throughout Ponyville, similar scenes unfolded as the Heal Pulse worked its magic. Ponies blinked away the remnants of the enchantment, their expressions transitioning from a mesmerized trance to a newfound awareness. The vibrant energy of the Heal Pulse had not only dispelled the enchantment but also left an indelible mark on the night sky, turning the once perilous atmosphere into a breathtaking spectacle of healing magic.
Thanks to Fluttershy and Audino, they were all freed from their trance-like states, but not those who had already become bits of Fairy Magic. They were still stuck in that form.
"W-What happened?" Rarity uttered, holding her head. She soon realized the chaos happening above her. "What is all of this?!"
Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and the other ponies around Rarity also expressed their bewilderment, their eyes wide as they took in the celestial spectacle above. The Canterlot Guards, Golurk, and the troop continued to engage in the fierce aerial battle against Daybreaker's forces.
"When did this happen?!" Applejack pulled back once her eyes met with the battle above.
"Oh, you're all okay!" Fluttershy flew over. "I thought you would be stuck like that!"
"Is the Pokemon Festival over? What happened?" Rarity questioned.
Recognizing the shift in the situation and realizing that their forces were now outnumbered and facing determined resistance, the troops of Daybreaker made a strategic decision. The chaos in the sky began to subside as the circular ships, once engaged in a fierce aerial battle, began to retreat.
The Golurk, Canterlot Guards, and Celestia's forces pursued the retreating troops, pressing their advantage. The night sky, which had been a battleground, gradually cleared as the remaining ships from Daybreaker's forces fled, disappearing into the horizon.
Those who were freed would screech and gasp after seeing the Fairy Magic. The eerie atmosphere was still present after all. Freeing them was another issue as even Heal Pulse couldn't fix this.
Speaking of the sky, the gateway that had been opened up was still present, waiting for the ships to return with the stolen Fairy Magic. At this moment, the ships that have managed to receive Fairy Magic were about to return to Universe 11, seemingly scot-free.
But of course, Princess Celestia wouldn't allow that at all. Arriving at the scene were the Golurk once more, here to prevent many innocents from being absorbed into Necrozma.
The Golurk, with their eyes gleaming with determination, unleashed powerful attacks to disable the ships and prevent their escape. Canterlot Guards, skilled in both magic and combat, cast spells that disrupted the ships' functionality. The combined efforts of the forces on the ground and in the air created a formidable resistance against the retreating ships.
Some of them even blocked the entrance to the gateway by hovering in front of it. The confrontation continued near the gateway, lighting up the night sky once more.
Only those at Ponyville and Canterlot could view this battle. Nearby locations either had their residents taken away or stuck in that vegetative state.
Some of the ships erected shields that absorbed the incoming attacks, deflecting them away from the gateway. The Golurk unleashed powerful Hyper Beams that targeted the ships attempting to breach their defensive line. Each time some Golurk needed to recharge, another group of them would fill in, giving them all the time they needed.
"Your majesty. We can't bring the Fairy Magic back at this rate." Back at Universe 11, one of Daybreaker's soldiers looked back at the Solar Empress while in the other universe, the goal to bring back the Fairy Magic was a struggle. Screens were littered everywhere showing the Solar Empire how Equestria was fiercely fighting back to protect their own.
"If this continues, we might lose all of the Fairy Magic we can for Necrozma!" A scientist exclaimed. Daybreaker narrowed her eyes, seeing the development on the other universe as she just saw all of this as one big time waster.
"In that case...we'll bring Necrozma to them," Daybreaker's declaration sent ripples of anticipation through the room in Universe 11. As she lifted up Necrozma's Poke Ball, a tangible sense of urgency filled the air. The Solar Empress, determined to secure the stolen Fairy Magic, seemed ready to take drastic measures.
The Solar Empress would then approach the gateway to Universe 1 herself, having Necrozma at the ready. However, Daybreaker didn't go through the gateway. Instead, she launched the Poke Ball through it, deciding to stay behind this time.
As Necrozma's Poke Ball rippled upon passing through the gateway and entered Universe 1, the atmosphere in Equestria immediately shifted. The very presence of the Prism Pokémon brought with it an overwhelming sense of dread, sending a chill through the air.
Upon opening, the Poke Ball summoned Necrozma into the realm of Equestria. The Prism Pokémon materialized with an aura of power and darkness, casting an imposing shadow that stretched across the night sky. The Canterlot Soldiers and Golurk, witnessing the arrival of Necrozma, gasped in awe and trepidation.
Ash and Twilight, who were still around Rainbow Falls, looked up at the sky yet again to see the small flash in the sky that signalled Necrozma's arrival. They already saw the fierce clash happening above right near the gateway but it looked like it was about to get worse.
"Is that...Necrozma?" Twilight gasped.
Once Necrozma showed up, he took full advantage of the scenario before him. And despite being in an entirely different universe, he could still communicate with Daybreaker. In his mind, he and Daybreaker shared a telepathic link even from great distances.
"Feast away, Necrozma. It's all yours. But first...use Prismatic Lasers." Daybreaker commanded.
Responding to Daybreaker's directive, Necrozma unleashed the power of Prismatic Lasers. Brilliant beams of multi-coloured light erupted from his form, creating a dazzling display that cut through the night sky with precision. The lasers danced and swirled, painting arcs of radiant energy across the canvas of the cosmos.
The Canterlot Soldiers, Golurk, and the ponies of Ponyville below looked up in awe and trepidation as Necrozma's Prismatic Lasers filled the night with a spectacular yet ominous spectacle. The dazzling lights intensified, casting an eerie glow that rivalled the stars themselves.
The Golurks, stalwart guardians of Canterlot, found themselves in the crosshairs of Necrozma's relentless assault. The Prismatic Lasers struck with supernatural speed and precision, tearing through the air with an unsettling swiftness. The once-imposing figures of the Golurks, symbols of strength and protection, now became harbingers of doom as the eerie lights converged upon them.
High-pitched whirring sounds echoed through the night as the Prismatic Lasers closed in on their targets. The Golurks, unable to evade the supernatural onslaught, resonated with metallic groans as the lasers connected with their towering forms. The beams of coloured light penetrated their bodies with a surreal and haunting precision.
"Go-Golurk..." Some of the Golurk fainted from this, falling to the ground while their trainers flapped their wings, gasping at the sight of their parents descending with heavy damage on them.
"No, Golurk!" Some of them bellowed. But even they weren't safe. Necrozma wouldn't stop at just the Pokemon. Even the trainers were targets. Targets for Necrozma to feast on.
Necrozma would advance, flying straight for the remaining Golurk and the trainers, ready to feast on their energy, no matter how small. At the end of the day, if light was involved, then he could devour it. The remaining Golurk stood their ground, heavily damaged from the Prismatic Lasers, giving Necrozma all the advantage he needed.
The battle against Necrozma unfolded in a nightmarish symphony of chaos and despair. The Prism Pokémon, fueled by an insatiable hunger for energy, proved to be an adversary unlike any the soldiers and Golurk had faced before. His- radiant form hovered ominously in the night sky, casting an oppressive shadow that seemed to suffocate the very essence of light.
Necrozma's Prismatic Lasers continued to cut through the air with malevolent precision, leaving no respite for the remaining Golurk and the disheartened soldiers.
"G-Golurk!" The Golurk were being absolutely battered and it didn't help that Necrozma started grabbing some of them.
Necrozma's radiant form weaved through the air, grabbing hold of some of the struggling Golurk with an eerie grace. The Prism Pokémon, fueled by an unquenchable hunger for energy, drained the life force from the already weakened Golurk. The night bore witness to a haunting spectacle as the once-stalwart protectors were reduced to mere shadows of their former selves.
"G-Golurk!" The cries of anguish and desperation grew louder as the Prism Pokémon siphoned the energy from its captives. The metallic bodies of the Golurk, once symbols of unwavering strength, flickered and dimmed as Necrozma's relentless assault continued.
The soldiers, witnessing the plight of their partners, fought with a mixture of determination and heartache. The once-disciplined ranks now found themselves facing an adversary that seemed to feed on their very essence. The disheartening reality set in as hope waned, and the battle against Necrozma became an increasingly desperate struggle for survival.
The Golurk were now mere husks of their former selves, faced a fate that seemed inevitable. The Prism Pokémon, revelling in the stolen energy, cast a shadow over Equestria that seemed to deepen with each passing moment. The night, once illuminated by the light of friendship and magic, now became a haunting backdrop for the tragic battle between the forces of darkness and the remnants of light.
And once he absorbed their light, once again, Necrozma's illness reminded him why this was never going to be enough. He wanted more. He craved more. And without even seeing it, Necrozma could easily detect where light can be found and his eyes met with the ships in the sky which were carrying Fairy Magic. Necrozma's hunger reached a point where even those on his side were seen as targets.
"Don't Necrozma." But Daybreaker promptly spoke to him in his mind, knowing what he was thinking. This has happened before and she couldn't afford to let Necrozma run wild without any control. Not for a second time.
Necrozma was conflicted between the primal urge to consume and the restrained guidance of Daybreaker, hovered in the night sky with its eyes fixed on the ships carrying Fairy Magic. But, with Daybreaker having better control now, Necrozma refrained from attacking the ships.
As for those ships, they were greatly damaged from the battle, struggling to stay airborne but they could still move. The remaining Golurk hung in there, greatly at a disadvantage but refused to surrender for the sake of innocents.
"Finish them, Necrozma," Daybreaker ordered. "Use Photon Geyser."
Necrozma, under the directive of Daybreaker, prepared to unleash Photon Geyser. The night air crackled with tension as the Prism Pokémon channelled its energy, gathering the formidable power needed for the impending attack. The Golurk, sensing the impending threat, braced themselves for the onslaught, their determined gaze fixed on the celestial menace that hovered above.
Photons were gathering into a single spot right in the claws of Necrozma, creating an intimidating sight and sound at the same time. Some of the Golurk would try and respond with their own ranged attacks while others would fly in with physical attacks such as Dynamic Punch, Hammer Arm, Fire Punch and more.
But with a flash in his eyes, Necrozma unleashed the attack the second one of the Golurks got too close for comfort.
The air itself seemed to ripple as Photon Geyser surged forth, a torrent of luminous power that cut through the night like a celestial blade. The attack lashed out with unforgiving force, creating an awe-inspiring yet terrifying spectacle in the night sky.
The Golurk, caught in the maelstrom of Photon Geyser, felt the overwhelming power of Necrozma's onslaught. The ranged attacks were swallowed by the radiant torrent, and those who dared to approach too closely were met with the relentless force of the Prism Pokémon's devastating move.
Explosions of light and energy illuminated the darkened canvas of the night as the clash reached its zenith. The air resonated with the echoing cries of Golurk, a poignant testament to their valiant but seemingly futile struggle against the overwhelming might of Necrozma.
The innocent ponies of Ponyville, witnessing the celestial conflict above, could only watch in awe and horror as the fate of Equestria hung in the balance. Photon Geyser, a manifestation of the Prism Pokémon's insatiable hunger for light, continued to carve through the night, leaving in its wake a trail of destruction and despair.
Necrozma hovered there while the Golurk fell with smoke trailing out of their bodies. The Prism Pokemon was victorious and stronger than ever because of how much light he had absorbed. While small, they still mattered a lot to this seemingly unstoppable force.
Daybreaker looked at the environment before she could order anything else. The Golurk and the Canterlot Guards were down on the ground, defeated while some of her ships were still airborne. The remaining ships were on the ground as well after being downed by the Golurk with the Fairy Magic they siphoned scattered.
Seeing the scattered Fairy Magic, Necrozma would gladly partake in another feast, this time, expecting the Fairy Magic to be far better than the Golurk and the troops.
"Darkrai, use Dark Void!" But at that moment, when Necrozma went straight for one of the Fairy Magic, the voice of Luna rang through the night sky. Coming Necrozma's way was a ball of darkness intended to put him to sleep, but Necrozma was ready for it.
The Prism Pokemon swayed his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the Dark Void that was sent by Luna's Darkrai. Princess Luna had arrived with backup. Joined by her Darkrai and other Golurks from Canterlot.
"Luna..." Daybreaker said when looking at her sister on the screen.
"That's as far as you go, Necrozma!" Luna declared with her voice reverberating through the night sky. "You are not leaving this universe with those innocents!"
Necrozma screeched at Luna, irritated that she would dare get in his way again. He remembers their last big encounter which was around the Sea Temple. Necrozma was superior in that clash and he didn't think this would be any different.
The cosmic entity hovered, its eyes ablaze with an unwavering resolve to overcome any opposition.
"Not this time. It won't go down like before."Luna, undeterred by Necrozma's screech and the memories of their past encounters, stood firm with an unyielding determination to protect the innocents and prevent the Prism Pokémon from leaving with the Fairy Magic. "I promise you that you'll lose today, Necrozma."
The ships took the opportunity to fly away, heading for the gateway as soon as possible. But as soon as they made contact, they would themselves bouncing back. They were denied access back to their universe and some of these ships would go tumbling down, failing to stay airborne.
"Hmph. My sister predicted a big attack at the Pokemon Festival's last moments. Did you think she wouldn't account for your gateways?" Luna, with a confident smirk, revealed the usage of a Rift Device that disrupts gateways. Courtesy of the Ranger Union.
Necrozma was essentially trapped here. The Ranger Union's Rift Device proved to be a formidable tool in thwarting Necrozma's escape plan as he was essentially forced to handle this on his own. Not that he was complaining. This universe was a goldmine of light.
"Go, Darkrai! Dark Pulse!"
"Hm!" Darkrai put his hands together, generating a burst of darkness while the backup Golurk prepared their own attacks from afar. Necrozma would respond in kind, preparing a Dragon Pulse from his claws.
The air would pulsate and flash once more with tension as the opposing forces unleashed their respective attacks. Darkrai, under Luna's command, unleashed a potent Dark Pulse, a surge of darkness that rippled through the night.
The ranged attacks collided in a spectacular burst of conflicting energies, each attempting to assert dominance over the other. The air crackled with the intensity of the celestial struggle as the night bore witness to the cosmic clash. Flares of darkness and radiant pulses intertwined, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle that captivated the ponies below.
Necrozma, on his own, could match this many attacks to the point where they had no choice but to equalize. The attacks from both sides would combust in front of each other, creating a tornado-like wind pressure.
Seizing the opportunity created by the combustive clash of energies, Luna would shout out her next attack. "Now, Darkrai! Poison Jab!" Luna bellowed with her horn glowing
From the colourful smoke, Darkrai would fly forward, along with all the Golurks who were about to get physical. Necrozma, standing alone against the oncoming assault, met the challenge with an aura of regal authority.
The clash began with a symphony of movements, Darkrai's graceful strike, the Golurks' resolute advance, and Necrozma's poised defence. The night air crackled with the sounds of metallic impacts and the subtle hum of ethereal energies colliding. Each movement, each strike, became a part of the cosmic dance playing out against the starlit canvas.
Darkrai's Poison Jab, infused with a venomous energy, sought to breach Necrozma's defences. The Prism Pokémon, however, responded with a calculated evasion, swaying its body to the side with an almost imperceptible grace. The Golurks, undeterred by the evasive manoeuvre, continued their assault, launching a series of physical attacks.
Necrozma blocked some of them, cushioning the blow, only to retaliate with a swift yet heavy Shadow Claw, dealing super-effective damage to the Automaton Pokemon.
Darkrai's Poison Jan and Shadow Claw connected, creating a burst of energy that resonated through the night. The two powerful attacks clashed in a symphony of darkness.
Darkrai, embodying the essence of shadows, faced Necrozma's Shadow Claw with an elegance that defied the chaotic nature of the cosmic battlefield. The Poison Jab, infused with a venomous energy, sought to breach Necrozma's defenses. Simultaneously, Necrozma's Shadow Claw, a manifestation of its regal might, met the incoming assault with a calculated precision.
As the Poison Jab and Shadow Claw collided, the cosmic energies released created a shockwave that rippled through the immediate vicinity. The ponies of Ponyville, gazing upward, witnessed the mesmerizing display of power and magic that unfolded in the starlit expanse.
Darkrai ducked an incoming Shadow Claw, returning with a mighty upwards slash. The attack staggered Necrozma for a bit, but not for long. The Prism Pokemon responded by headbutting Darkrai when throwing his body forward.
Luna got involved, shooting her magic from above to try and catch Necrozma off guard. She supported Darkrai with a powerful beam that struck the top of Necrozma's head.
Thanks to Luna's support, Darkrai followed up with Poison Jab, slashing the centre of Necrozma's body as the impact of the slash was heard by many. This was then followed up by the other Golurk flying in to smash their fists against the Prism Pokemon.
"Golurk!" One by one, they delivered powerful punches, smashing their fists against Necrozma in a coordinated assault. The metallic echoes of their attacks reverberated through the cosmic maelstrom, adding to the cacophony of sounds that enveloped the starlit expanse.
Necrozma, beset by the combined onslaught of Darkrai and the Golurks, found itself entangled in a flurry of blows. The Prism Pokémon weathered the assault with a stoic demeanour. However, the relentless barrage of attacks were filled with unbridled tenacity.
"Now is our chance! Dark Void!" Luna used this opportunity to put Necrozma to sleep while he was still feeling the powerful blows. Darkrai tried one more time, throwing the ball of darkness forward. This time, it actually managed to connect.
The sphere expanded rapidly, engulfing Necrozma's entire form. As the ethereal darkness wrapped around the Prism Pokémon, a momentary hush fell over the cosmic battlefield, leaving the outcome suspended in uncertainty.
However, Daybreaker intervened from another universe. Using her potent magic, she negated the effects of Dark Void, thwarting Luna's attempt to induce sleep. The cosmic struggle persisted, and Necrozma, though momentarily affected, remained an active participant in the celestial clash.
"Curses...!" Luna grit her teeth, the frustration evident in her expression. The ongoing battle showed no sign of resolution, and Necrozma remained a formidable opponent on his lonesome.
"Luna." At that moment, using Necrozma's body, Daybreaker had her voice echo through the Prism Pokemon just to speak to her little sister. "If you know what's good for you, you'll stop here. You're the one pony I don't want to see get hurt, even from another universe."
"I don't want to hear anything from you. You're not my real sister." Luna replied with a strong attitude. "Try all you want but you are not leaving here with all that Fairy Magic."
"Hmph. So you say." Daybreaker smiled, closing her eyes before reopening them. "It's fine. Besides, Celestia and I are always on the same page, aren't we?"
"What?" Luna pulled back.
"You said she predicted a massive attack during this time, right? Obviously, she'd be right. But of course, I would also anticipate something like this. We are still the same pony at the end of the day. Your efforts have been great. I should expect nothing less from the strongest universe. But there are some things you aren't ready for."
Daybreaker's confident smile and her cryptic words hinted at a greater scheme, one that transcended the immediate clash in the cosmic battlefield. Luna, caught off guard, could only watch as Daybreaker disclosed her intentions.
"Blocking my forces returning? Not that big of a deal. I didn't need that gateway anyway. You see...I've found another way to benefit Necrozma with light. You're about to find out one of the best benefits we could have possibly created." Daybreaker announced.
At that very moment, Necrozma began absorbing the energy from the gateway, an ominous glow enveloping the Prism Pokémon. Luna and the others looked in shock and horror as Necrozma was now absorbing the power from the gateway of all things.
The force at which he started absorbing the energy from the gateway was fierce, creating celestial flashes in the night. The cosmic energy was fueling the Prism Pokemon, making the clouds themselves rupture and the wind cry out in pain.
"Necrozma's...Transforming?!" Luna's bellow spoke volumes as to what was about to emerge. The force of this transformation was enough to push back some of the Golurk. The light in the sky was almost as bright as the Sun itself, covering the beautiful Moon and the stars that accompanied it.
Necrozma's new form manifested as a celestial spectacle that defied the norms of reality. The Prism Pokémon, bathed in an intense luminosity, underwent a transformative metamorphosis that reshaped its very essence. The once regal and crystalline body now exuded a radiant brilliance, reminiscent of the cosmic forces harnessed from the gateway.
Necrozma's alternate form was a mesmerizing fusion of radiant hues, its body adorned with swirling patterns of prismatic light that danced like celestial ribbons in a cosmic wind. The edges of its form glowed with an ethereal intensity, casting a luminous aura that painted the night sky in vivid strokes of cosmic energy.
The observers, including Luna and the ponies of Ponyville, were caught in a mesmerizing display of celestial power. Necrozma's new form stood as a testament to the boundless potential of cosmic energy, its presence both awe-inspiring and disconcerting.
"If I were to suit your naming schemes, this would be Rift Necrozma, right? Or maybe, we should call this one Astral Necrozma. Hm. That'll do just fine." Daybreaker said with a bit of glee in her voice. This was the birth of Astral Necrozma. Not quite another evolution but essentially an upgrade for the Prism Pokemon.
As Astral Necrozma loomed in the transformed night sky, Luna and the onlookers could only watch with a sense of awe. Necrozma had borrowed the power of a gateway and many were hoping that it wasn't any other power from the Rift. With Daybreaker's laughter echoing through the night sky, these final moments of the Pokemon Festival were reaching a critical point.
As the journey continues.
Chapter 394 End.
