//------------------------------// // Rayquaza vs Necrozma // Story: My Little Pokémon: Grander World // by Amarvax //------------------------------// Outer Space. The New and Improved Alien Ship. Moving through the skies and finally entering space was the Spaceship of a mysterious Alien civilisation. After being fine-tuned and redesigned by Pegalysium, it was available for travel once more while still keeping a majority of its original design and everything else inside but for simpler use. Piloted by Pegalysium Ponies and some Unown, they had finally entered the vast cosmos but were still just above Earth. Not only that, they weren't even close to the conflict happening out in space at this very moment. "Oooh..." This was their second time getting a good look at space and it still amazed them each time. With Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash pressing their faces on the glass, they would gaze at the wonders of the universe they live in. "Amazing! Look at all of this!" Despite being on a rather important quest, they couldn't help but admire the ship. Thanks to what the aliens left behind and how the Unown patched things up, they got to gaze at the otherworldly things left behind. Twilight came across a chamber in this ship that just screamed ancient but was still modern considering who used to own this. These chambers showcase the alien's architectural marvels and engineering feats from across the galaxy. She marvelled at holographic displays of celestial cities, space stations, and megastructures constructed by the ancient aliens. "This must be where they live..." Twilight looked at the holographic displays. "Or maybe used to. That vision of the past we all saw looked like some sort of war after all. And most likely, that's how their ship ended up on our world." "Mhm. "Applejack nodded in agreement as they continued to view the ship in its entirety. Just how much did the Unown fix? And if there was a point to it, why do so if they couldn't understand all of this technology? "I don't see them anywhere. Do you?" Rarity tried spotting signs of Daybreaker's group. And indeed, in the far, far distance, there were flashes of light in the darkness of the cosmos. "Is that them?" "Maybe? Are we near or far?" Fluttershy asked. "Well...space is much bigger than the sky itself, so I can't say." The pilot shrugged along with the other crew members. "For all we know, we could be an hour away from them." "An hour? It can't go any faster? I thought you guys fixed this thing." Rainbow Dash questioned. "We only changed it up. The Unown couldn't quite get everything down after all. There's a bizarre energy that powers this ship and it's been active even after all these years. We're not sure what it is but the Unown managed to sustain it." One of the crew members replied. "For now, this is the best we can do and it's the only one we have." "Mmmm..." To see this for himself, Ash would use his Aura to try and detect anyone in the distance. With his eyes closed, Ash concentrated closely, seeing what he could sense. Using Aura in space was brand new to him and a completely different experience entirely. He was shown the darkness of space as to be expected but instead of it being complete darkness, the stars were still visible. Ash focused deeply, trying to see who he could sense. "Do you see them, Ash?" Twilight asked. Lo and behold, even in outer space, he could detect Auras as plenty of them were showing up. One by one, Auras were showing up by the dozen, some small, some weak and five relatively strong Auras appeared. "I see them! A whole bunch of them!" The four powerful Auras that Ash was picking up on were from Rayquaza, Daybreaker, Necrozma, Galaxy Master and Empress Twilight. All four of them had outstanding Auras that were burning bright. "Those Auras...one of them is Rayquaza!" "Rayquaza?!" The girls collectively said. Among one of the most important Pokemon was currently in the heat of battle. As soon as they spoke its name, the sound of the clash finally reached them. A resounding boom equal to that of a million thunderstorms went off, startling some of them as it was followed up by a bright flash of energy in the distance that illuminated the cosmos. "Dad..." Ash spoke, thinking about Galaxy Master and his safety. He didn't doubt it but he was hoping he wouldn't suffer any damage in all of this. Based on what Ash could see, things were intense in the distance. There was even a fearsome shockwave that nearly reached the ship. Speaking of ships, after spotting Galaxy Master, some of Daybreaker and Empress Twilight's ships were heading straight for the Galaxy Tower, ready to deal with that nuisance. Ash saw them on the move, gasping as Galaxy Master was now a target for them. The pilots now knew where they needed to go after hearing that sound. But they would also have to be careful and keep their distance since this was the only ship they had. One wrong move in this crossfire and it could all lead to a most horrific outcome. On top of the Solar Sword. The confrontation between Daybreaker and Rayquaza was here. With the Solar Queen having Necrozma out, she intended to use the Guardian of the Sky as yet another fuel source for Necrozma. The two Pokemon faced off against each other, releasing roars that managed to overpower the sounds across the cosmos. Some of the ships ceased their attacks, knowing what was coming next. They wouldn't want to risk harming Necrozma as this was about to be a battle between Legendary Pokemon. Some would just go for the Galaxy Tower instead, focusing their efforts on that in the meantime. "Necrozma! Photon Geyser!" Daybreaker ordered. Responding swiftly to Daybreaker's command, Necrozma unleashed its devastating Photon Geyser attack. With a blinding flash of light, a torrent of powerful energy surged forth from Necrozma's form, streaking through the void of space with pure brute force. The Photon Geyser tore through the cosmic expanse, blazing a path towards Rayquaza with incredible speed and ferocity. In response, Rayquaza used Dragon Pulse, gathering its draconic energy. Rayquaza unleashed a Dragon Pulse of immense magnitude, shaping it into the form of a mighty dragon that surged forward to meet the incoming Photon Geyser. The two attacks collided in a spectacular display of cosmic energy, creating a shockwave that reverberated throughout the vast expanse of space. The clash between the Dragon Pulse and Photon Geyser unleashed a torrent of radiant light and crackling energy, illuminating the darkness of the void with their radiant power. Through the colourful smoke after both attacks combusted in front of each other, Rayquaza appeared. With a thunderous roar, Rayquaza surged forward, its body enveloped in a blazing aura of draconic energy as it unleashed its signature move, Dragon Ascent. The Sky High Pokémon soared through the aftermath of the clash, streaking towards Necrozma with incredible speed and power. Rayquaza's Dragon Ascent connected with resounding force, striking Necrozma head-on and sending the Prism Pokémon reeling backward. Despite the impact, Necrozma maintained its composure, its crystalline form pulsating with energy as it prepared to retaliate. "Meteor Beam!" Daybreaker's command echoed across the cosmos as Necrozma responded with a powerful attack of its own while still flying back. With a mighty roar, the Prism Pokémon extended its arms, summoning forth a concentrated beam of energy from the depths of space itself. And with Daybreaker's magic, he didn't need to charge up the attack. The luminous beam surged forward with incredible intensity, hurtling towards Rayquaza. Rayquaza would simply slither around it while approaching Necrozma with Extreme Speed, doging the beam. Going on a relentless assault, Rayquaza would fiercely tackle its against Necrozma's body with Extreme Speed, doing it repeatedly. The Sky High Pokémon's movements were a blur as it relentlessly barraged Necrozma, each collision delivering a powerful blow to the Prism Pokémon's crystalline form. Despite Necrozma's formidable defenses, the onslaught proved overwhelming, pushing it back with each successive strike. Rayquaza was then about to deliver an even harder attack. Harder than the rest, but at that moment, Necrozma was ready for a counterattack that was uttered by Daybreaker. "Use Gravity!" Necrozma, heeding Daybreaker's command, exerted his control over the fabric of space itself, altering the gravitational field in the vicinity. As Rayquaza hurtled towards it with Extreme Speed, the force of gravity suddenly intensified, halting the Sky High Pokémon's swift assault in its tracks. Rayquaza found itself suspended in the altered gravitational field, unable to move as freely as before. Despite its powerful momentum, the sudden shift in gravity brought its relentless assault to an abrupt halt. With a mighty push from Necrozma, the Prism Pokémon launched Rayquaza away, sending it hurtling through the void of space with incredible force. "Now, follow up with Prismatic Lasers!" Daybreaker bellowed. While Rayquaza was hurtling through space, Necrozma followed up by unleashing a fierce barrage of prismatic beams from his body, making sure Rayquaza would be bombarded by them. The sky lit up with dazzling hues as the beams of light converged upon their target, bombarding Rayquaza with relentless force. Each beam struck with precision, delivering a barrage of energy that enveloped the Sky High Pokémon in a dazzling display of light and power. At that moment, by using Hyper Voice Rayquaza's cry reverberated through the vastness of space, generating a powerful shockwave that rippled outward from its location. The intense sound energy created a protective barrier around the Sky High Pokémon, deflecting the incoming prismatic beams with sheer force. Some of the beams of light scattered and dispersed as they collided with Rayquaza's sound barrier, their trajectories altered by the disruptive shockwave. After deflecting the beams, Rayquaza moved in with another Dragon Ascent, bursting through the cosmos with multiple sound barriers behind it. But this time, Necrozma was ready for Dragon Ascent. "Meet it with Aerial Ace!" With its claws lighting up, Necrozma would also move at high speeds, ready to confront Rayquaza in an up close and personal clash. The beams of light scattered and dispersed as they collided with Rayquaza's sound barrier, their trajectories altered by the disruptive shockwave. Despite the relentless assault, Rayquaza stood resilient, using its own vocal power to fend off the onslaught of prismatic lasers. As Rayquaza and Necrozma drew closer, the tension in the cosmic battlefield reached a fever pitch. Their auras blazed with power, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle against the backdrop of the star-strewn void. With each passing moment, the anticipation grew, mirroring the intensity of a legendary showdown. In a flash of light, the two titans collided, their forms intertwining in a whirlwind of energy. The force of their impact sent shockwaves rippling through the fabric of space itself, shaking the very foundations of the cosmos. Sparks flew as their bodies met, each blow resonating with the power of a cosmic storm. With a deafening roar, Rayquaza unleashed a torrent of draconic fury, its scales shimmering with primal energy. Necrozma, undaunted, met the assault head-on, its crystalline form pulsating with radiant light. Even the forces within the ships couldn't help but gaze at this, especially Cozy Glow, who was definitely blown back by this sight. "Amazing..." As the battle raged on, their movements became a blur of speed and power, each strike delivered with pinpoint precision. They danced through the void like celestial warriors, their forms twisting and turning in a mesmerizing display of combat prowess. "Use this opportunity to advance straight for the Moon. Her Majesty can occupy Rayquaza for us." Sunrise Sparkle ordered, seeing this as the perfect time to continue towards the Moon. Daybreaker was already doing an excellent job at keeping Rayquaza at bay. The Solar Sword would stay behind while the other ships would advance, making sure to avoid the battle. With the order given, the fleet of ships began to surge forward, their engines roaring to life as they set their course for the Moon. Rayquaza noticed this, attempting to stop these ships by using Extreme Speed. But as soon as it turned its attention away from Necrozma, the Psychic-Type would use Gravity, forming a field around Rayquaza's body. The Sky High Pokemon roared as Necrozma pulled it towards him. Rayquaza roared in defiance as it felt itself being drawn closer to Necrozma, its attempts to stop the ships thwarted by the unyielding force of gravity. Despite its best efforts, Rayquaza found itself unable to break free from the relentless pull of Necrozma's power. "This is a good opportunity to take what you have! Drain it, Necrozma!" Daybreaker ordered and Necrozma was glad to do so. By grabbing onto Rayquaza's neck, Necrozma was ready to drain all the energy within Rayquaza. The Sky High Pokemon wriggled its body, smacking the end of its tail against Necrozma and making his body stagger, refusing to be drained. Despite the resistance, Necrozma maintained his hold, desiring that energy immediately. He would do anything for a good chunk of light after all. The struggle between the two legendary Pokémon intensified, their powers clashing in a spectacular display of cosmic might. Inside Empress Twilight's Ship. "Not good! At this rate, they might take Rayquaza's energy!" Jackie watched this from the window, witnessing the struggle between Necrozma and Rayquaza. "Come on, Rayquaza..." "Jackie!" Meanwhile, Empress Twilight roared, still chasing Jackie through the ship. She slid into the room where Jackie was, finally meeting him in a dead end. "Nowhere to run this time!" She appeared to be a bit out of breath from constantly chasing him across the area. "Usually you wouldn't run out of breath. Looks like you've taken quite the fall, huh?" Jackie noticed. Empress Twilight's expression hardened, her eyes narrowing as she took a step closer to Jackie. "You've caused enough trouble already. It's time to put an end to this." "Not yet." Jackie smiled. "We're not quite finished. I've got you all to myself, Empress and we're gonna go on for as long as possible. You know that, right?" "Of course, I do! It'll be so satisfying dealing with you! Believe me!" The Empress let out a maniacal smile. "At the end of the day, you're just a human...and I can use this to my advantage!" Empress Twilight cast what is by far her most used spell. She also had control over Gravity itself as she unleashed a field of it over Jackie that would start materializing. As the field of gravity materialized around him, Jackie felt the weight pressing down upon him, making every movement feel like a struggle. The Empress's control over gravity was still as formidable as ever. That was the one thing that hasn't changed about her. "Have I taken quite the fall now?!" Empress Twilight cackled while approaching Jackie who was kneeling from the gravity. Jackie struggled against the oppressive force, his muscles straining as he fought to maintain his footing. Every step felt like a monumental effort, but he refused to succumb to the Empress's control. Gritting his teeth against the gravity's pull, Jackie focused his energy, pushing back against the crushing weight with all his strength. Beads of sweat formed on his brow as he strained against the invisible force.. "Is that all you've got?" he grunted, his voice tinged with defiance as he continued to resist the Empress's spell. "Tch." Annoyed by his confident nature, Empress Twilight placed her hoof on his head, shoving him on his back so that it would even harder for him to get back up. After that, she stood over Jackie, casting her shadow over him. "I have plans for you since you gave me the slip way back then. This is just among many personal things." She grinned while looking down at him. "What now, Ranger? No quick retort?" "I would but...you should probably look to your left." "Hm?" Curious, Empress Twilight shifted her eyes to the side as something came up in her peripheral. It was none other than one of the other ships. Thanks to the potions, some of the ships were moving erratically and one of them was coming straight for Empress Twilight's ship. As the ships collided, a violent jolt ran through Empress Twilight's vessel, knocking her off balance and sending her stumbling backwards. She barely managed to maintain her footing, her expression twisting into one of surprise and alarm as she struggled to regain her composure. Jackie was free from the gravity as the ship was beginning to tilt thanks to the impact. Right before the Empress could do anything, Jackie quickly grabbed her horn, stopping any spells. "U-Unhand me! You can't just put your hands on my horn!" Empress Twilight yelled. "As long as I keep you from doing anything, we should be good. I'm leaving everything else up to the others and Rayquaza," Jackie retorted, his tone firm as he held onto her horn. "Why you...!" Furious, Empress Twilight struggled to get Jackie's grip off her horn, aggressively kicking her hooves around. Since she was an alicorn, her physical strength was above that of an Earth Pony and it showed. Jackie grimaced as he was being moved around by the alicorn's fierce moments. It felt like a rodeo with the same Empress Twilight moving from place to place, even slamming her body against the walls to try and get the Ranger off. Despite Empress Twilight's brute strength, Jackie held on tightly, taking damage himself in the process. "Nice try, but I'm not letting go that easily!" Jackie grunted, his voice strained with effort as he fought to keep Empress Twilight restrained. He dug his heels into the floor, anchoring himself against her thrashing movements as he focused all his energy on keeping her subdued. Back in outer space, the clash between the two Legendary Pokemon had left quite an impact on things, such as fearsome shiockwaves throwing ships off balance. Rayquaza flew back after engaging in a fierce headbutt with Necrozma, both feeling the impact. The Sky High Pokemon turned its head to see that the ships were getting closer and closer to the Moon. At this rate, Rayquaza might fail to protect it. The Dragon-Flying-Type had to think fast, or it will all be for naught. All the while, Daybreaker put on a devious grin, knowing she was holding up Rayquaza for a long time. "What's wrong Is that all you've got? So much for the Guardian of the Sky." Daybreaker taunted. With Daybreaker fighting the Sky High Pokemon to seemingly a standstill and the Moon being minutes away from being tarnished, Rayquaza had one option that it could use. With a flare in its eye, it suddenly summoned something in front of it. By using Dragon Ascent, Rayquaza suddenly summoned what appeared to be a Mega Stone in front of it. "That's...a Mega Stone!" Daybreaker bellowed with absolute shock in her voice and face. Rayquaza wasted no time in harnessing the power of the Mega Stone, its form engulfed in a blinding light as it underwent a powerful transformation. By itself, without a trainer, Rayquaza could harness the power of Mega Evolution as a fierce energy enveloped its body. The blinding light began to dissipate, revealing Rayquaza in its new, awe-inspiring form: Mega Rayquaza. Its sleek body now radiated with even more power, and its already formidable presence seemed to grow exponentially. "Amazing...You have just what I need." Daybreaker's smile returned. Now, she had a reason to catch Rayquaza. She didn't need to worry about finding a Dragon-Type to Mega Evolve and harness the Dragon Matter when the perfect candidate was right in front of her. "This is what I was looking for!" Rayquaza knew that it was running on limited time with the ships nearing the Moon so it had to act fast. And the best way to do that was to unleash an attack so tremendous, it would put an end to all of this. Concentrating all of its might, Rayquaza then pulled off one more surprising thing. Appearing from the darkness of space appeared to be a familiar form of matter that flowed in Rayquaza's direction. The Dragon Matter. The Dragon Matter let out its ferocious sound through the cosmos when entering Rayquaza as it was all being concentrated into a single point. Daybreaker was in disbelief. The new form of matter that was still adjusting itself to this universe had appeared and Rayquaza was already managing to control it. "It can already control the Dragon Matter?! This could be bad...Necrozma! Let's finish this as soon as possible! Prismatic Lasers!" Necrozma was not about to lose this. Not when something so valuable was in front of him. Harnessing everything he had, Necrozma was ready to unleash an array of beams of the utmost ferocity. With a brilliant flash of light, Necrozma unleashed a barrage of Prismatic Lasers, each beam pulsating with raw energy. The lasers streaked through space, converging on Mega Rayquaza by merging into a single, larger beam. Yet, Mega Rayquaza had its own response. In a bold display of power, Mega Rayquaza unleashed its own attack, harnessing the energy of the Dragon Matter. With a mighty roar, it released a devastating blast of energy, combining the forces of Dragon Ascent and the Dragon Matter into a single, unstoppable attack. Rayquaza at that moment created a brand new Dragon-Type move that would immediately meet with the lasers. The sheer force of the collision sent shockwaves rippling through the cosmos, causing nearby ships to tremble and shudder. Even the Galaxy Tower felt the reverberations of the titanic clash, causing its structure to sway slightly. Despite the overwhelming power of the combined attacks, Mega Rayquaza held its ground, its determination unwavering. With a mighty roar, it pushed forward, channelling all of its strength into the Dragon Matter-infused beam. And then, in a blinding flash of light, the clash reached its climax. Both Rayquaza and Necrozma were caught in a flash of light. Daybreaker promptly put up a massive shield right as the light came her way. Even the ships near the Moon were caught up in this. Ash and the others felt it from here, holding on for dear life as the brightness of the clash could be seen from afar. The force of it sent the ship hurtling through the air, gaining even more distance from the chaos. "N-Not good!" Ash groaned as Pikachu gripped his shoulder. "Pi...Pika!" Pikachu cried out. Fluttershy and Twilight gripped onto Ash's legs and arms while Rainbow Dash's body was glued to the walls. The pilots were frantically trying to stop this rapid movement, using everything that was newly added to the alien ship. All of Ash's friends were holding onto something or someone while they moved across the cosmos at an alarming rate. As the blinding light subsided and the dust settled, the ships near the Moon emerged from the chaos relatively unscathed, thanks to Daybreaker's protective magic. They were in one piece still as Daybreaker's shield covered everything. The aftermath of the clash left the ships hurtling through outer space in random directions, their trajectories altered by the sheer force of the battle. Despite their reinforced hulls and Daybreaker's protective shield, they were still at the mercy of the unpredictable forces of the cosmos. "R-Rayquaza!" Daybreaker roared with irritation in her voice, echoing in the far distance. Rayquaza successfully distanced her forces away from the Moon, throwing a huge wrench in her plans. But at a cost. Rayquaza, having exhausted its energy in the tremendous clash, reverted back to its original form and began to descend slowly through the vast expanse of space. The once mighty Guardian of the Sky now appeared weary and spent, its strength depleted from the titanic effort it had exerted. Even Rayquaza didn't expect to use up all of that energy. Dragon Matter was still new to it even though it managed to harness it splendidly. Rayquaza was heading straight for Earth, spinning through the air as its eyes were closed. The frenzy in space had come to an end with all forces moving far away from the Moon. An Unknown Planet. The pilots barely managed to get it all under control. With the help of the Unown, they slowed down the velocity of the ship, but by a hair. They needed somewhere to land and right up ahead as a strange planet. By the skin of their teeth, the ship would land aggressively on the ground of this planet. It slid on the ground, making a horrible scraping noise while shaking everything and everyone inside. Eventually, it all came to an end. "Everyone alright...?" One of the pilots groaned as her head was spinning. One by one, the passengers began to stir, groaning and rubbing their heads as they took stock of their surroundings. Ash helped Pikachu to his feet, while Twilight cast a worried glance around at her friends, silently assessing their condition. "Yeah...Where are we though? Are we back home?" Pinkie Pie asked as both her head and eyes were spinning. "I don't think this is Earth..." Twilight shook her head. This was definitely not Earth as they were far from it. The strength at which that clash sent them all was tremendous, taking the group to an entirely different part of the universe that they have never been to. As the group gradually regained their senses, they stumbled toward the nearest window, their eyes widening in astonishment as they beheld the new and enigmatic landscape stretching out before them. It was a world unlike any they had ever seen, its surface shimmering with metallic hues that glinted in the strange, otherworldly light. It looked like Iron, but not quite. One thing was for sure, they were far from home and on unknown territory. Fitting that they were in an alien ship as well. As the journey continues. Chapter 420 End.
