MLP VS... Pokemon

by FrostyDawn


Princess Celestia vs. ???

The goddess of the sun angrily trotted up the steep mountainside. Her mane was frizzled, her coat stained with dirt. She soon climbed to the top of her goal, which taunted her ever since she heard his voice again. At the top of the slope was a cave, endlessly dark and cold. But it was well worth it. Celestia knew this is where Discord was hiding for all this time. She slowly wandered inside, her mane starting to flicker with a heat of spite. Up ahead, she saw Discord, just as she remembered, with the draconequus made of stone, with only his left arm and half of his face made from flesh. In front of him was a large book, filled with text and images of strange, otherworldly creatures. Six spheres hovered in front of him, replaying the mares facing against the beasts that corroded their wills.

"Let's see... too flowery. Too small. Too... this is literal garbage..." Discord muttered, flipping through the book.

"DISCORD!" Celestia roared, her mane and flaring up into a bright orange flame.

The statue turned in surprise, seeing the alicorn behind him. "Ah. Princess Sunbutt. How joyous of you to stop by." He said nonchalantly.

"Where are they?! What have you done to them?!" Celestia shouted, her seriousness escalating with each step closer.

"Oh, don't you worry. They're safely in another realm, battling powerful creatures until they release me from this form." Discord chided. "I'd say its working rather splendidly."

"You release them. Or so help me I'll-"

"You'll what? Turn me to stone again?" The spirit of chaos cackled. "I'm afraid that wont happen. Your little ponies put me here, and they'll bring me out." Discord's yellow eyes soon lit up with glee. "Ooh! Brilliant idea! Maybe if you do the same, I'll get this over with quicker." He smirked, returning to the pages of his book.

"Discord, if you make one more mov-"

Before Celestia could finish her statement, a flash of light surrounded her, as she looked around, her environment changed. She found herself in pure space, flying involuntarily. Stars and planets surrounded her, but with no oxygen, she was able to breath just fine.

The princess's mane snuffed out, as her curiosity overtook her rage. A different voice rang in the open sky, not Celestia's nor Discords.

"Princess Celestia of Equestria." The voice spoke, emanating from all directions. A shape formed in front of Celestia. From nothing, there was something. Another four-legged creature, with a long neck craning up. A golden ring shaped around its white and gray torso, limbs like hooves and a growth at the back of its head like a mane. "It is time." It spoke.

"Where am I?Who are you? And what happened to my subjects?" Celestia asked bitterly.

"You are here in the Plain of Beginning. And your subjects are fighting my own. I must confess. They are doing better than I expected." The being said, staring at Celestia dead on. "I am Arceus. The First of Life, and Creator of this universe and the next."

"Discord put you up to this."

"No. I simply allowed this to happen. But now... now you shall face my own wrath on our own terms. Witness the judgement of Arceus!" He shouted, raising his head and spewing a beam of red light from his mouth.

Celestia quickly raised her horn, forming a shield to split the beam apart. The alicorn countered with a golden ray of her own, only to have Arceus vanish, and reappear out of the ray's path.

"Why must it be like this? How can you justify your own creations falling unjustly?" Celestia asked, referring to Twilight and her friends slaying several of Arceus's own subjects.

"It is the cycle of the Pokemon. There cannot be life without death." Arceus said, firing another spark at the princess. "How can you speak ill of me, when you allow your own subjects to kill unjustly?"

"Because this was not their will!" Celestia shouted, deflecting the spark and shooting one of her own. "Discord is responsible for this ruthless havoc! They had no choice!"

"There is always a choice!" Arceus countered, as the spark ran into him. Frustrated, he charged at Celestia at breakneck speed, surrounded by a fiery aura. "A hero chooses, and a slave obeys!"

Celestia was knocked around by the charge, regaining her balance in the zero-G. "My subjects are not slaves!" She roared, her mane re-igniting. "And they never shall be!" Her voice echoed as her wings flapped waves of flame toward Arceus.

The Creator held strong as the fire washed over it. Scorch marks appeared over it's body, but Arceus remained undeterred. The two shot higher into space, flying around in arcs and twists, blasting raw energy at one another. Some were blocked, evaded, but little by little, their power started to wane.

"You cannot beat me. You are destined to fall." Arceus said, raising his head once more. From above, a volley of light rained down on Celestia, making the very space between them burn fiercely.

"Why? What would you gain from besting me?" Celestia gasped.

"You care so dearly of your subjects, why should I not do the same? Once you fall, your mortal followers shall break in spirit, and seize killing my own." Arceus answered, his voice solemn. Celestia paused. Two immortal leaders fighting would not accomplish anything. She was in a position not unlike Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, or any other pony in this world.

"Then let us call a truce. We can vow our worlds never cross paths. For better or for worse." Celestia said, her fiery mane snuffing out to her original teal and blue color.

Arceus held his fire, and slowly calmed. "I understand. This Discord you speak of has been the bane of us all." He said. "No one else must perish."

"Just let me and my subjects return." Celestia said. "It would be best. I hope this does not make us enemies."

"Princess Celestia, your realm and mine has been intertwined. There was no avoiding it. But, despite what has been done here, even immortal beings such as ourselves can find forgiveness." Arceus said, the intimidation in his voice gone. "Go. may justice be brought to Discord."

An orange spiral of light began to envelop Celestia. The sun princess smiled, and bowed her head. "Thank you... Arceus." She said before she disappeared.

The draconequus held his ear to one of six floating windows, enjoying the whimpering ponies on the other side. More of his stone body revived into flesh and blood, making his devious grin widen.

"Ah, wonderful havoc." Discord chuckled. "I haven't felt this giddy since I got out of that wretched prison."

"Oh, I concur." A voice said behind him.

Discord's eyes widened with shock, and turned around. Standing behind Discord was Celestia, covered in bruises and scorch marks, and a smug grin.

"No, that's impossible! Y-You should be dead! I should be free!" Discord panicked.

"It's over, Discord. Have fun in Tartarus." Celestia sneered. Her horn started to resonate with energy, and light up the cavern. Discord's body refroze into stone, and decayed into a pile of ash and dust.

The six spheres shattered as well, letting out glimmering auras, soon formed into the six mares, miserable and weary.

"Wh-what happened?" Applejack asked, looking around.

"Did we... are we home?" Rarity added.

Celestia felt a warm smile. "Yes, my little ponies. You are safe. Discord is vanquished. For good." Despite what Celestia said, the mares didn't seem any less disenchanted. "Did you hear me? I said it's all over."

"We know." Rainbow Dash sighed. "But that doesn't change anything."

"We're killers." Fluttershy whimpered. "All of us."

The mare's hung their heads,lamenting over what they've done. But Celestia would not stand to see her ponies suffer any longer. Her horn hummed with magic as she shut her eyes. "Girls. I want you to know that what I'm about to do is very, very risky. But its what needs to be done."

Twilight looked up to her mentor. "Princess, what are-" Twilight stopped, as her jaw dropped.

A thick cloud of steam and smoke appeared behind Celestia. And from the cloud, creatures started to emerge from it. Twelve familiar creatures.

Fluttershy was the first to react. "Bubbles!" She chirped, lunging forward and wrapping her fore-hooves around the Vaporeon that crawled out.

The other mares grew wide smiles as the rest of the Pokemon wandered from the mist. Arcanine, Gallade, Serperior, all of them awake and alive.

"Celestia... you brought them back!" Twilight gasped, looking up at her mentor with awe.

"I did what had to be done. You should not wallow in sorrow, but now, live together as friends."

Pinkie Pie's mane popped up into it's original curly form. "Alright! This calls for a celebration!" She cheered, before rushing out of the cave with her friends and Pokemon behind her.

Celestia walked after her students, softly smiling. She took another look at the sky outside. "It has been done, Arceus." She whispered.

"We are all at peace..."
