A Gift
It was early the next morning. The sun was slowly rising again, casting gentle rays across the damp, muddy, humid forest. Many of those Pokémon that could still stand were up and about, looking for breakfast or looking after their fellows. And an alicorn princess was pounding on the head of a giant metal Meowth.
“Come on, up and out with you!” Luna half yelled over the clang of hoof on metal. “Dawn has already come and gone! There are introductions to be made and much work to be done! So rise up!”
There was no immediate response.
“Do you not know that we are at war?” she demanded. “Is this how things are done in this dimension – chase off a problem once and then forget it exists?”
“Judging by how many times Team Rocket has gotten away from police custody?” Twilight asked. “I’d say yes. Definitely.”
“You are not helping, young princess,” Luna said as she continued to knock.
“Sorry.”
In the end, it took several more minutes of concentrated pounding and shouting, but eventually Robo Mega Meowth’s armored chest slid open again. Down the stairs slowly trudged a motley assortment of humans and Pokémon in varying stages of half-asleep. With eyes only halfway cracked open and pausing every so often to yawn, the faces staring down at the alicorns seemed anything but happy campers.
“…for goodness’ sake what is it?” the woman with the long magenta hair yawned. “You’re interrupting my beauty sleep.”
“It’s not even six o’clock in the morning yet,” the young black-haired boy mumbled, rubbing one eye.
“Exactly! That is what makes it the perfect time to begin the day!”
“Meowth… translation please?” the blue-haired man managed.
“She’s sayin’ she’s crazy and we should all just go right back ta bed,” the white cat Pokémon said.
“LIAR!” Luna’s voice boomed with enough force to wake the dead or throw a little yellow Pokémon off the boy’s shoulders and into the mud.
“Okay, we get it!” the taller woman clutched her ears. “Your name is Luna! Now what do you want with us at this horrible hour?!”
“What I desire is twofold,” Luna said. “First, I wish to make your acquaintance and thank you properly for what you have done. Secondly, I wish to speak with you regarding future coordination against our mutual enemy.”
“Urgh…” Meowth groaned. “She’s sayin’ she wants to be all buddy-buddy and den talk with us ‘bout fightin’ dose Flare guys.”
“Can’t it wait ‘til a little later?” the blond-haired boy asked, rubbing his glasses.
“Nonsense, there is far too much to do!” Luna raised a hoof high and flared her wings. “But before we begin the most serious tasks, I would introduce myself. I am Princess Luna of Equestria, Diarch of the Night, Maiden of the Stars, Guardian of Dreams.” She gave a slight but formal curtsey. “I would also ask that you do me the courtesy of naming yourselves.”
This time, when Meowth translated for her, the two older humans looked at him, and then at each other. There was just a moment’s pause.
“You don’t think…” the taller girl amongst the children began.
“Prepare for trouble, you don’t know who we are?” the magenta-haired woman began, backflipping with sudden energy to strike a pose.
“And make it double, we’re the best here by far!” the blue-haired man echoed, as he too flipped into a pose.
“Here we go again,” the small blonde girl sighed.
“To protect the world from devastation!”
“To unite all peoples within our nation!”
“To denounce the evils of staying quiet!”
“To extend our reach and cause a riot!”
“Jessie!”
“James!”
“Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!”
“Team Flare beware, we can’t lose this fight!”
“Meowth, dat’s right!”
“Wobbuffet!”
“And Celestia, shining bright!”
The white alicorn had seemingly appeared from nowhere to stand in their midst, foreleg posed in a suitably heroic fashion and a pearly white grin on her face. Luna just stared. The others groaned.
“Do you guys have to do that every time?” the black-haired boy yawned again.
“There’s nothing that gets the blood pumping quite like reciting the motto!” James raised his fist in the air. “Now we’re up and ready to win the day!”
“That’s right!” his two teammates cheered.
“Wobbuffet!”
“Your minstrel performance is quite well-rehearsed and your acrobatics are superb,” Luna commented. “And your passion for your art is obvious. You ought to consider becoming performers in lieu of a life of crime.”
“She tinks we’re great, so ‘dere!” Meowth taunted the younger group.
“Marginally biased translations aside,” Luna shook her head, looking at the others. “I should also like you all to introduce yourselves if you please.”
“She says go ahead an’ talk, twerps.”
“Well, I don’t have a motto, but I’m Ash Ketchum,” the black-haired boy said. “And this is my buddy Pikachu.”
“Hi,” said the little yellow Pokemon in between trying to clean mud out of his fur.
“I’m Serena, it’s so nice to meet you!” the taller girl said.
“I’m Clemont, leader of the Lumiose Gym.”
“And I’m Bonnie, here to make sure my big brother doesn’t get into any trouble.”
“Bonnie…” Clemont groaned.
“I am well pleased to make your acquaintance, friends of my sister,” Luna nodded at Team Rocket, “and friends of young Twilight,” she nodded at Ash’s group. “I wish to thank you all for taking care of them, and for coming to aid in battle. It means a great deal to these Pokémon, and to me.”
“Well, we did single-handedly turn the tide of battle with our flawless mech,” Jessie had her arms folded and a grin on her face after the translation. “So I can see why you’d feel that way.”
“Yes…” Luna nodded. “I wished to reward you as is only proper, but unfortunately I currently lack any lands or noble titles to bestow on you, or even base currency.”
“Cash ain’t ‘base’ unless yer rollin’ in it.”
“What I do possess is this.” Luna unfurled one of her wings and pulled back on some feathers. There, nestled amidst the dark plumage, was a shining rainbow gemstone.
“That’s what’s known as a Key Stone,” Twilight stepped in to explain. “Typically embedded in some form of object, it’s one of the requirements to trigger Mega Evolution. But it’s not the only thing, you also need a Pokémon of a species capable of it that possesses the appropriate Mega Stone. But even more important than that, you need a strong bond of trust and affection between a human and the Pokémon you want to evolve. Wild Pokémon never undergo this rare phenomenon.”
“Unfortunately, as young Twilight says, Pokémon not trained by humans cannot undergo this process for some unaccountable reason.” Luna sighed. “Thus, despite the proven power of this gem, it is of absolutely no use to me or any of mine. Therefore, I have decided to bequeath it to you instead, as the best reward I have available. I apologize if it seems trifling for saving many lives, but it is all I have to give.” The alicorn bowed her head just a little.
“I know it’s sudden, but do any of you have any Mega Stones?” Twilight asked all of them.
Blank stares and scratched heads were all that greeted her. Some even looked down at their feet.
“Sorry… but no.”
“None here.”
“I wish I did.”
“Can’t say I’ve got one.”
“I’ve got to go with no.”
“That is truly fantastic,” Luna muttered. “We come into possession of an extremely rare treasure as spoils of war, and no one possesses the means to actually use it.” She sighed. “All the same, I did promise it to you.”
The dark alicorn looked over the humans once more, then flicked her wing towards Team Rocket. James caught the shining jewel in one black-gloved hand, then stared incredulously at it.
“It was your machine that came to our aid,” she explained. “Therefore, it seems fitting that if none of us may use it then you should have the gemstone in reward.”
“Hey, let me see that!” Jessie snatched at James’ hand, then held up the Mega Stone in front of her face. “This would look great as the centerpiece for a tiara! And you know where a tiara would look best? On my head!”
“Hey, back off!” James snatched it back. “I caught it, so it’s mine and it’s going in my collection!”
“A jewel like that deserves to be flaunted, not gathering dust with your stupid bottle caps!”
“How dare you insult my bottle caps?! I’ll have you know they hold the world record for how polished and shiny they are!”
“Dat robot is shaped like me and I was doin’ most a da pilotin’!” Meowth butted in. “So I say dat pretty stone belongs ta me!”
“No, it’s mine!” Jessie yelled.
“You’re both wrong, it’s all mine!” James shouted back.
As Team Rocket fell to squabbling with one another over the Key Stone, Luna simply gave another sigh. Twilight and Ash’s group stared with somewhat exasperated and/or sleepy expressions. Beside her sister, Celestia watched with a slightly concerned look on her face as Fury Swipes was brought into play.
“Well, at least they all seem to like your reward,” Celestia said, then winced.
“I simply hope they do not have a falling out over a mere trinket,” Luna replied. “Because unless fervent wishes have the power to trigger Mega Evolution, it is of no true use to any of them.”
“They’re not coming out,” Spearow said. “I mean, like at all.”
“So they are making no efforts to sally forth and counterattack?” Luna frowned. “Nor are they increasing patrols about their base? Nor engaged in any form of defensive fortification?”
“Uh… no?” the little bird ventured. “Look, all I saw was that there were maybe two humans in red suits hanging close to the rocks today, not nearly as many as before. And when I took a look at that small human town not far away? Totally empty. I didn’t get too close, but not a single soul to be seen there.”
“Surely their losses were not so great as to force them to abandon the surface altogether,” Luna said. “Even with our new allies they still have formidable numbers.”
“Maybe they all ran away?” Spearow cocked its head.
“An unplanned mass exodus in the dark? And the pouring rain? With their woodsman skills?” the dark alicorn snorted. “That is hardly something we could miss. No, they must still be present beneath the earth. The only question worth pondering is why.”
“Okaay…”
“Pulling back their exterior defenses opens the way for us to choke off their lines of supply. No matter how well-provisioned their fortress may be, they cannot supply hundreds of humans and Pokémon indefinitely. If we can establish an effective cordon then we may simply wait until hunger and thirst do our work for us,” Luna tapped her hoof on her chin. “And surely they must know it. So, once more we return to the question of why. Are they planning some trap to draw us in? Do they have reinforcements of their own on the way? And why render the nearby village a ghost town?”
“I propose another alternative,” Celestia spoke up. “We know that their intended objective is to wipe out all life not themselves. And, from what Mable’s minions told us, we know that their trump card is located beneath Geosenge Town, though they did not know the whole of what it is. Perhaps they make ready to use it.”
“But if that is so, why now?” Luna asked her sister. “Why attempt to confront us conventionally if they already possessed the means to scour the forest away to begin with?”
“I don’t know,” Celestia frowned a bit herself. “Perhaps they didn’t, or it isn’t working properly, or they only just obtained some necessary component. Whatever the case, I doubt they’re simply waiting to be besieged and starved out. If they’re hunkering down, it’s because they have some sort of plan.”
“Then we must have one of our own,” Luna declared. “We begin by locking down all roads and trails in and out of the area. This time there will be no reinforcements, and no escape.”
“There we are,” Lysandre smiled gently as he pried the small, irritating shard of stone from between Gyarados’ scales. “Is there anywhere else?” he asked, applying an expensive Full Restore to the small wound. “Any more pain?”
The massive blue sea serpent shook his head gently. In the depths of Team Flare’s ultimate stronghold, even his normally bright scales were tinted by the dull red lights.
“Good as new then,” Lysandre said, walking calmly up to jaws big enough to swallow him whole and stroking one white cheek fin. “You ought to be proud, you know. Not many Pokémon alive can say they’ve fought Xerneas and Yveltal both and come away victorious.”
Gyarados gave a low, throaty grumble.
“Don’t be ridiculous, no one else could have done better. They’re both Legendary Pokémon, embodiments of the cycle of life and death. That you couldn’t beat the both of them by yourself on your first try is no slight against you.” Lysandre continued to pet his Pokémon, now scratching behind his head crest. “You were everything I could have asked for and more.”
“Dos?” came a surprisingly slight hiss.
“Of course I mean it,” Team Flare’s leader smiled again. “Don’t you know me too well by now? I’d never lie. Not to you.”
Gyarados paused for a moment, seemingly considering it. His eyes and head slowly wandered up towards the ceiling, staring meaningfully in one particular direction. Lysandre winced as he followed its gaze, knowing well at this close range such powerful energies could not be concealed.
“I can’t hide anything from you, can I?” He continued to pet Gyarados’ scales, but his smile began to fade away. “Yes, we’re close. Everything is completely ready. We’re just waiting on the last of our people to return. Days at most. Perhaps even hours.”
The great serpent’s gaze turned, and Lysandre found himself staring into a red eye as large as his head. It said nothing. It didn’t need to.
“Yes… Once the weapon has been unleashed and the new world is coming into being…” his eyes were starting to water. “It will be time for our goodbye.”
Gyarados nodded once, bobbing his massive head in a slow and solemn manner. His gaze shifted away from his trainer, looking forwards again.
“You know I have to do it.” Tears began to creep slowly down Lysandre’s cheeks. “The world can never be free from violence as long as Pokémon exist. It’s too… too bound up inside.” He wiped his face with one sleeve. “Of you. Of me. Of all of us. Utopia can’t exist while that bond between us does. It has to be expunged, and there’s only one way.”
His Pokémon nodded once again.
“Naturally, you know,” Lysandre smiled faintly even as he continued to weep. “You’ve known for years this was inevitably coming, only now that it’s almost here I…” he hesitated. “I just don’t know if I can do it.”
This time the reaction was immediate. Gyarados whipped around like a striking serpent, incredibly fast despite his vast bulk. Lysandre staggered as the scales he had been leaning on became a sudden blue blur, but a white tail fin caught him. He blinked away the worst of the tears to discover that he’d been surrounded, encircled by the bulk sea dragon’s coils. Gyarados’ head brushed up against the ceiling, and for the first time he looked genuinely angry. He bared his fangs and gave a deep, rumbling growl.
“Of course I don’t want our work to be for nothing!” Lysandre shouted up at his Pokémon. “I know what has to be done, but…” he looked down. “But I want to be a little selfish in the end, is that too much to ask? I want to keep you and Pyroar and Mienshao and Honchkrow and all the others! Greedy, arrogant, entitled people are ruining the world, not you! Why must they take you from me?!” He pounded one fist ineffectually on Gyarados’ hard scales. “It isn’t fair!”
Gyarados lowered his head down to just above Lysandre’s and let out another low grumble. This one, strangely enough, was almost reassuring.
“Yes…” Lysandre swallowed, nodding slowly. “You’re right. We’ve known about this for years, it just always seemed so far away. Now that we’re almost here…” More tears were sliding freely down his face.
Gyarados gave one more nod. Lysandre put his hand on the sea serpent’s belly.
“I’ll miss you.”

Lysandre truly is a crazy cult leader, complete with zealous drones willing to kill and die for him. It's going to be satisfying when he eventually loses. Nice chapter.
"violence"? Something ought to give Lysandre a tour of the multiverse, let him see what other dimensions humans have been getting up to.

But I'm sure he's right, Kanto truly is a horrible place to live, what with all the pokemon-driven conflict.

I bow to his superior wisdom, its true! Beyond a shadow of doubt, the existence of pokemon is the greatest scourge ever to afflict humanity.

Must be nice to be able to let out your doubt and regret at following your evil plan to a completely indoctrinated subordinate who will egg you on to do it.
9099330
Yeah it's really ironic because Pokemon World humans are overall some of the least violent ones out there
Huh, who knew Lysander had a heart or Conscience, all with how we know about him from the Games and Anime.
Lysandre is sad to separate from his team... what about how the rest of the world's humans and pokemons? He truly is delusional and insane.
Celestia finally joins the motto! Who knew this thousands of years old alicorn still was a filly deep down?
I'd like to see someone draw a decent art of Celestia at that moment.
9099334
I suppose perspective counts for everything.
9099342
Anyone who watched Horse Play?
Finally! And hey, it even rhymes!
I don't know for sure who will end up using the mega stone but I bet it will be Celestia.
9099313
Or maybe the Author will pull a Thanos on us (If you saw Avenger's Infinity War, that will make more sense).
9099330
9099334
I would remind you that the ultimate weapon was first used to end a vicious, years-long war that claimed the lives of countless people and Pokémon. By nuking both sides into oblivion.
Even if Poke-world is a relatively peaceful place now, it wasn't always that way.
9099357
I haven't, but I get the gist of it. I have played the game though, and at least in regards to that, I know what's going to happen with Red Hitler at the end. Who is to say that's how it will shake out in this fic, given artistic liberties and whatnot. If anything, I think the game was far too lenient to Lysandre and the other Flare higher ups, given what they tried to do. This story is already handling them far more harshly (and justly) than the game ever could, given its target audience. Looking forward to see what actually happens though!
9099346
None of the trainers' canon Pokemon could use it. None has a Mega Stone that corresponds to its species. So that leaves Celestia or Twilight - if it ever gets used at all. I suspect Giovanni is going to want it.
9099330
I know right? Just look at our world, we've gotten along just fine without Pokemon.

Oh wowo. This is back?
9099401
My bet is on Celestia, it is her story alongside team Rocket afterall.
We already know it is a checkov's gun, the question is, will it also be a deus ex machina
In my honest opinion, I really think it would be nice to see this version of Lysandre in the anime. Is it wrong that I want Twilight to Friendship Monologue him?
Trying to give sympathy to Lysandre is a waste time, cause I think none us as any for him at this point.
I check up their current Pokémons and yes none of them have currently a Pokémon who could mega evolve. So unless Ash call for is Charizard, guess will really see Celestia mega evolve. Though the question is how will it happen since her not being a natural Pokémon, a Mega Stone for would normally not exist.
Haha, as opposed to putting them for a thoysand years and hoping somepony else comes along to deal with it
Sigh...again, Rot. In. Hell, Lysandre. Ain’t NO ONE making you do this except your own delusions.
And Lysandre is the GREEDIEST of them all, wanting a perfect world all to himself and his followers, while KILLING anyone who isn’t them.
He may not be a Complete Monster, but Lysandre makes it so easy to HATE HIM.
9099500
Well this is not unheard of. Look at Rayquaza, after all. Perhaps it's enough for Celestia.
9099500
EqG1 already established that the power of the Elements can be used independently of the stones. Alakazam has compared the Elements to mega stones. Celestia has wielded the Elements in the past. QED.
Luna has their number, and not just Team Rocket. The twerps are equally guilty of this.
I have been marathoning the anime recently (up to season 10 so far) and when you see the big picture, it's remarkable how much Team Rocket and Ash's gang have in common. There's the whole good vs bad and win vs lose difference, but they are both prone to make the same mistakes over and over. Ash learns the same lesson in the middle of every gym battle. (If you believe in your pokemon, you can cheat. :P) TR always has a lame trick, but Ash always falls for it. TR always has to reveal their true identities, but Ash is always surprised when they do. Really, they deserve each other.
"Meowth! That's right!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Celestia"
Alternatively
"Meowth! That's right!"
"And that's the way it is!"
"And Celestia, shining bright!"
9099500
Maybe it's not trying to gain sympathy, but to show that even he is feeling a might, how you say, hypocritical?
9099524
True Rayquaza can mega evolve without a Mega Stone, but wasn't it explain in the anime special about Alain when along side Lysandre went to Hoenn, that Rayquaza ate the meteorite containing its Mega Stone, which is why he can seemingly mega evolve without one?
Then again, now that I think about, Mewtwo in the Genesect movie also could mega evolve without a Mega Stone. So in the end it is believable for Celestia to do so. Though at that point it would be also logical the same could be possible for Luna and Twilight.
Or other possibility is that their Regalia will act as a Mega Stone. They just need to retrieve it.
9099629
I haven't seen the special in question, so I dunno about that, but I suppose. Either way, a possible Chekhov's Gun has been set, though since we're already moving into the third act it would have to be fired soon, if it is to be fired at all.(Guess it would act more as foreshadowing in this case...)
Lysandre has got it backwards. World peace is not possible so long as humanity exists. He should wiping out humanity and leaving the world to be inherited my the Pokemon
9099787
The Poke-wilds aren't happy huggy candy land. Numerous Pokémon throughout the story (Houndoom, Haunter, Vileplume, whatever ate Vileplume) have attacked other Pokémon with full intent of killing and eating them. Even those mon that aren't naturally predatory can still be quite territorial and often enjoy a good fight. I'm sure that owning a Gyarados, a predatory Pokémon infamous for their hair-trigger temper and destructive rampages, has given Lysandre a good idea just how violent Pokémon can get.
Lysandre's delusional mindset makes me wonder if he's a byproduct of incest.
9099825
Oh I never denied that. But Pokemon typically don't kill or harm each other for shits and giggles. That's a human trait. And I've not seen any Pokemon display ambitions of global conquest or devastation. Another human trait.
9099962
Try reading this then:
https://m.bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/XY054
There's a fully anime canon example of wild Pokémon trying exactly that.
9099330
I don't know man. Judging from that Kanto picture, I think that Espeon is planning something. I don't trust it. Meanwhile Starmie is just letting it happen. Malicious, the lot of them.
9099962
A trio of Malamar would have words with you there. They tried to terraform the planet to suit their needs only with no regards to what others need to survive and it took Ash and Team Rocket to stop them.
9099979
I admit I'm not familiar with the XY series at all. However there is an exception to every rule, and they are merely the exception to this rule. Who are the antagonists the other 99 times out of 100? Humans. World would be better off without humanity in it, not the other way around.
9100024
As I mentioned, I know nothing of the XY series. And they are merely the exception to the rule.
9100026
No? Without humans there world be no civilization and the world would be the anarchy of nature red in tooth and claw. Possibly the evil Malamar would come along and forcibly terraform the world and kill most everything else. There would certainly be no peace. That's not what Lysandre wants at all.
Humans are usually the main antagonists because they're far more organized and systemic, but note almost none of them lack for willing Pokémon collaborators. Pokémon don't have that strong an innate morality unless especially strong willed or taught by humans. They'll largely do bad things without thought if told to do so.
9100030
Your way of thinking is not too dissimilar from Lysandres.
Just saying
9099979
And a certain Mewtwo wanting to wipe humanity and pokemons out, to get the world for himself and his cloned pokemons in the first film.
Celestia finally got into the motto...
THE END IS NIGH!
Civilization, the source of all evil, oppression, and violence, was basically a mistake, and is set to burn itself out in the next hundred or so years.
9099377
Also, she has no right to complain considering the incompetence of the Royal Guard.
9100159
True there's that but you have to remember, his motives were more because all he really knew of humans were Team Rocket and Giovanni. I don't think he remembers his creator or his childhood friend, the Creator's cloned daughter who I think died with the other clones that were his childhood friends while in that test tube. He definitely had a negative opinion of humans til Ash got in the way and temporarily died by petrification (I suppose?) Which caused everyone to cry, clones too. That got him to see a different solution and come to an understanding where he let go of most of that hate.
9100058
Pokemon being the problem? A world without Pokemon is surely to be a peaceful one, right? *looks at the real world* Yep. No problems here. */sarcasm*
A savage, natural world is a million times better than any world with humanity on it.
9100085
I said he had it backwards. That's not disagreeing with the methodology, is it?
9100343
He says, reading fanfiction of two animated television shows on a convenient technological device, doubtless in a temperature-controlled facility.
No one who actually experiences nature regularly would voice such a ridiculous sentiment. Nature is pain, struggle, and untimely death.
9100421
A) That's stupid.
B) A world without humanity doesn't fit Lysandre's goals at all.
C) Killing off most of humanity and leaving your immortal followers as the sole survivors fixes the problems of man, at least in his mind.
[If Lysandre succeeds]
Lysandre: Gyra-...No...Magikarp?
Magikarp: Karp karp Magikarp? (Did you do it?)
Lysandre: Yes...
Magikarp: Magikarp? (What did it cost?)
Lysanre: ...Everything.
Sudden thought, I wonder what would happen to the planets ecosystems without any Pokémon. Would there even be enough non pokemon animals to sustain it? If Lysandre won and team flare became immortal, would they just end up inheriting a world where all that beauty of nature stuff Lysandre cares so much about dies and rots away?
9100430
So is civilization, which exists in and is a part of nature.
9100430
A) And I find the idea that humanity is actually worth something to be stupid. So I guess we're at an impasse.
B) And that would be why Lysandre is an idiot.
C) Also shows how naive he is. Human nature is it's own worst enemy. They'll be back to killing each other within 10 years, if not faster.
Honestly I never expected any response to my comment. I was just giving my two cents on Lysandre's goals.
