Chapter 8: Twilight vs Groudon/ Magic vs Land.

Wow, that...was...intense. I mean that whole battle escalated pretty quickly. I watched the whole battle between Groudon and those aliens, and let me just say I wish I recorded that whole thing on my iPhone. Thank god I told Groudon to go easy on those aliens cause that rainbow and cowboy one went down easy. Then the rainbow alien performed some massive shockwave that almost knocked me off of Latios. After which that nerdy one paralzyed him and attacked him relentlessly.

Now, let me clarify I'm not bad or evil. I did tell Groudon to go easy on them, and does watching those aliens getting their asses kicked make me a jerk...possibly. And though I refused to apologize for stealing food, that does not justify hog-tying me with a lasso. They provoked my Pokemon, and they were protecting me. And 'maybe' sending Groudon was overkill, but he knocked down their heaviest hitters. Also sending all six of my Pokemon to counter each girly alien would have put them in an unfair advantage against them. I mean, together my Pokemon are at level 100, each of them. So that would have been like level 600 against them. So sending Groudon would have clearly even the scales...a bit.

I mean, even if the guy was 30 feet, but still.


All of the citizens Ponyville stepped out of their homes after the sound of the Sonic Rainboom woke them up from their slumber. They watched in horror as they witnessed the giant red monster battling what they could only assume were the Elements of Harmony. Then he spat rocks out of his mouth, some of which landed closer to Ponyville, no pony was hurt but they began to flee from Groudon. Soon Pinkie zipped into the village at remarkable speed and began warning everypony. She told them about Groudon and Twilight, then she warned them about evacuating Ponyville.

Pinkie's warning was taken seriously, as the citizens gathered their family and anything valuable from their home and hurried to the outskirts of Ponyville away from the red hulking Groudon about to battle.

After which Pinkie finished spreading the news, she zipped to the hospital and found her friends in the waiting room. Just Rarity, Spike, and Fluttershy.

"Hi guys!" Pinkie greeted them nonchalantly.

"Pinkie your alright!" Fluttershy said relieved.

"Yep-perooni!" Pinkie beamed.

"And Twilight? What about that huge beast?" Rarity asked.

"Twilights taking care of him." Pinkie waved off.

"And you just left her?" Spike asked in near disbelief.

"Well, that big red meanie broke my cannon and she told me to spread the word across Ponyville." Pinkie replied, "Hey, are AJ and Dashie gonna be alright?"

Rarity nodded, crossing her arms, "They will, Nurse Redheart said they'll be alright. Shes patching their bruises and scratches as we speak."

"What about Twilight?" Fluttershy asked, hiding the left side of her face behind her mane, nervous, "Do you think she'll be alright?"

"Come on," Spike waved her, "This is Twilight we're talking about, she handled at Ursa before. And that was before she became an Alicorn. Besides I already sent a message to the princess."

"I hope she'll be okay though, I'm worried you guys." Fluttershy said meekly.

Rarity put a hand on her shoulder, "We all are, but I'm afraid we can't do anything right now except wait."


The battlefield was set. The contestants were ready, waiting to see who would make the first move, both locked in a battle to see who would win. Even with Twilights limited Alicorn magic, she knew the battle hinged on Ponyvilles survival. Or so she thought. She remained unaware her opponent was only aiming for her defeat.

Groudon had his orders. He would make sure to hold back his power, but just enough to win the fight.

After a moment of silence, Groudon paced forward making loud booming footsteps as he approached his final opponent.

Groudon began glowing brightly, as his outline flashed yellow and he raised his fist, rearing it back and releasing it on to the ground. A large crunch sound was heard as he slammed his fist into the ground. Glowing gold cracks then traveled towards Twilight.

Earth Power.

Twilight unfurls her wings quickly and flew into the air avoiding falling into the cracks. She outstretched her hand aiming at Groudon before releasing a ball of magenta.

The ball whizzed through the air and made a direct hit at Groudon. He growled angrily before being assaulted by a barrage of magic balls of energy of the same kind as before, raining down as Twilight began gliding through the air.

She flew around the land Pokemon as he swung his ample sized arms at the princess of magic. Thankfully, Twilights speed was able to dodge all attempted hits. She had to rely on her speed to tire Groudon out first before she continued assaulting him.

Groudon grew annoyed quickly by this. It was like trying to swat a fly.

Twilight soon rushed forward at breakneck speed, she stretched her leg out and ignited her horn. Covering her entire leg in magic to give it extra strength and bashed Groudon hard in the nose with her foot before leaping off and flying away. He flinched in surprise, before rubbing his nose, the land Pokemon swung at Twilight only for her to dodge the attempted blow and bash him on the nose again with another magically enhanced kick.

Groudon raised both arms and brought them together quickly as he unleashed a massive shockwave, which caught Twilight by surprise. She yelled as she was launched backwards deep into the forest, tumbling through the air. She skidded to a halt on the ground in time to look up and see Groudon preparing a hyper beam.

Twilights horn glowed purple quickly before the beam hit her and she teleported out of the way, as the hyper beam destroyed some trees in the same path she was standing in a few moment ago.

Twilight teleported behind Groudon as she sent a magical beam which caught him by surprise and made him fall forward. The dust on the ground kicked up into the air as Groudon fell with an echoing roar that most of Ponyville heard.

Groudon quickly raised himself off the ground and spun around quickly. He raised his arms again and slammed them between Twilight making the young mare gasp.

Twilight quickly raised a force field bubble before the massive hands crushed her. She now found herself in the dark, between Groudons hands, straining to keep the bubble up which was the only thing to keep her from being crushed into red paste.

Twilight then teleported and reappeared a long distance away from Groudon. She craned her neck up and watched him roar with annoyance. It glared at her before another roar rang through the air with burning yellow eyes before opening its mouth and shooting a large burst of hyper beam at her. Twilight had enough time to conjure up a shield before the beam came into contact with her. She then felt the ground rumbling under her feet. She saw small cracks in the earth, spreading across the ground, she felt the intense heat from the cracks as the ground quickly became warmer and red.

Groudon began summoning the lava from beneath the ground. Twilight suddenly teleported out of the way before a fountain of lava erupted under her. She avoided the lava and hyper beam as they both collided. A small explosion occurred, splashing lava on a few trees.

Twilight reappared in the air and raised her wings, taking flight, aiming towards Groudon. Purple magic enveloped her horn, spreading across her body, she was soon covered in a purple aura of her own magic. Leaving a trail of white stars behind her. With a determined glare, she angled her head downward, aiming her horn as it began flooding with intense magic. An aura formed around her horn, and it formed into a giant spear, shaped as her horn aimed at Groudon.

Groudon saw this and quickly charged his own attack. Large sections of ground were raised up, causing a whole series of huge carved incandescent sharp stones coated with lava spring from the ground.

Precipice blades.

She avoided them easily enough, swerving and veering in the air before firing small bursts of magic at him, still aiming her horn.

With the precipice blades failing. Groudon tried another tactic.

Once he saw Twilight charging closer and her horn inches away, he caused an explosion around him, creating a mix of smog and fire to cover the area and hit Twilight with flames.

Lava Plume

A large mushroom cloud of magic and fire erupted into the air. The citizens of Ponyville gasped as they saw this phenomenon.

Rocks of fire and magic came raining down onto anything within a hundred miles. Rocks crashed into the market place and destroyed a few stalls. The ponies panicked and fleed in terror to avoid getting smashed by a lone rock.


The mane six, or rather mane three, watched the events unfold. They saw the huge mushroom cloud of magic and could only guess Twilight was in it. They held each other in worry for their Alicorn friend.

"Twilight!" Spike yelled, running straight towards the fight only to be stopped by Rarity putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Spikey wait, it's too dangerous." Rarity warned, keeping her hands on Spike.

"But what if that's Twilight in trouble?" Spike asked, worry clear in his voice.

"We can't do anything now darling," Rarity stated, "We have to wait and hope Twilight is okay."

"Uhm, guys?" Fluttershy muttered, "Where's Pinkie?"

Spike and Rarity turned to the spot they last saw their pink friend standing. Now just dust rising up and the doors to the hospital swinging back and forth with a trail of dust raised headed straight towards Sugarcube Corner.


In Pinkies room on the second floor of the bakery. Pinkie rummaged through her closet tossing many things as she fished through her messy closet. She tossed away Gummy, Boneless given to her by Cheese, a tuba, a box full of chattering teeth, a surgical bone saw, a massive and poorly designed Pinkie costume with huge eyes and a gaping mouth where the face of the wearer was supposed to go. She kept throwing away a ridiculous thing each second until she found what she was searching for.

"I told Twilight I had more than one of these." Pinkie smiled before pulling out a massive party cannon.

She then stuffed the entire cannon in her hair, instantly disappearing without a trace. She then zipped off to the battlefield to help Twilight.


Twilight’s eyes creaked a silver at the sound of footsteps approaching her. She remained sprawled on the ground, weak and tired from the blast. She huffed exhausted, as her vision was all blurry.

She watched helplessly as Omega approached her. Groudon was gone though, mysteriously.

"Okay..." Omega said softly, "That was a battle. You both knocked each other out. I'm impressed, kudos on being a badass, girly, alien, unicorn, or whatever the hell you are."

As the memories of the last few minutes began to come back to her, Twilight rubbed her forehead as she gazed up to Omega and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Omega recoiled his head back a few inches, looking surprised by the question, "I'm not doing anything. It's called self defense."

"You hurt my friends." Twilight grunted, anger laced in her tone.

"Yeah but I didn't let Groudon kill them. So no harm, no foul," Omega then kneeled closer to Twilights face, "Look, we don't mean any harm, really. So I'm gonna take off and find a new place. Hopefully, one that won't attack me. Okay puddin'?"

Before Twilight could protest, Omega began to move. Standing up, he slowly began to walk out of the clearing leaving his fallen opponent behind, drained, tired, and beaten. Twilight couldnt stop him, or even stand up. All that magic left her drained and she already felt herself slowly losing consciousness.

"Don't follow me." Omega said before dissaperaing into the darkness.
