Restoration

Five problems.

Impatient ponies here to see the Crystalling. The shards of the broken Crystal Hearts that have been scattered across the Empire, being searched by the Pokemon themselves. The approaching storm that Celestia, Luna, Passion and Darkrai were struggling to keep back from freezing everything. Twilight trying her best to memorize the spell before it had been destroyed via the baby and attempting to restrain the two babies, putting an end to their frantic actions.

Clearly, there was a lot to do.

Shining Armor and Cadence had also planned to warn everypony, aiming to have them all evacuate the city before the tracks freeze over.

"I only hope this spell is the one we need." Twilight got a paper and quill, ready to write down what she remembered.

"Alright. Hatterene. Hypnosis." Starlight commanded her Pokemon. Dragonite had held both of them close, making sure that they wouldn't escape. The Seafaring Pokemon and the baby alicorn had been put to sleep due to the hypnotic rays that hit it.

"Finally." Starlight sighed. "Is there anything else I can do to help?" Starlight turned to Twilight.

"I don't think so. I'm just sorry about your lesson."

"Oh, that doesn't matter now. Sunburst and I don't have anything in common anyway. He's a big important wizard! And I'm re-learning everything I ever thought I knew."

"Sunburst? I don't recognize the name, but if he's an important wizard, you should bring him here. Maybe he'll know what to do if the spell fails." Cadence walked up to her whilst carrying her sleeping daughter on her back.

"Of course!" Starlight ran off with her Hatterene.

"Goh. Spike. You two better go with her." Twilight said as the duo followed Starlight.

On the outside, Celestia and Luna were struggling to keep the storm back, even with all their magic. Passion tried using Mystical Fire to burn away the storm clouds, but that was no good either. Darkrai tried to freeze them with Ice Beam, but the ice actually made the storms stronger due to them being linked to the cold.

The three entered Sunburst's home, almost having their bodies blown away by the intense wind that continued to grow across the kingdom.

"Sunburst! Haven't you looked outside?!" Starlight bellowed. Sunburst took a look outside to see what was occurring at this current point in time.

"Snow? That's... not right. The Crystal Heart—"

"Is gone! The baby – Shining Armor and Cadance's baby – it's an Alicorn!" Starlight finished his sentence by giving him new information.

"Really?" His glasses almost dropped from hearing the Alicorn part.

"Really! And her magic is a little berserk, and well, I guess she destroyed the Heart! But Twilight thinks she can fix it and Princess Cadance thought you could help!"

"Me?" He shifted his eyes around.

"Of course! You're an important wizard in the Crystal Empire! It just makes sense!"

"Right... right... right right right. You know, I'd like to help, I-I really would. I-I just have so much, um, important wizard work to do around here."

"Huh?" All three of them said, confused at his response.


"You can't stay here!" Applejack exclaimed, trying to get the ponies away from here.

"Did I mention this was a Royal Crystalling? When the crystaller holds the young one aloft, all of the Empire will share their joy and light, and the Crystal Heart will beat stronger than it ever has before!" A crystal pony spoke.

"It really is a moving ceremony!" One pony almost teared up.

"Come on, it's freezing out here!" Rainbow Dash shuddered.

"Uh, this is the Crystal Empire. We've seen snow before." A pony replied, not bothered by the chill.

"Not like this!" Shining Armor arrived. "We don't have time to argue! Princess Cadance has decided to evacuate the city!" Saying that made them all gasp in unison.

"But the Crystalling...!"

"I don't know if we'll ever have another Crystalling again! The Crystal Heart... is shattered. Not mention every single shard has been scattered across the empire."

"It's not safe here!" A pony gulped.

"That's what we've been trying to tell you!" Applejack groaned. They all made a run for it, finally realizing it wasn't the best option to be here at the moment. Whilst they all evacuate the empire as fast as they can, the Pokemon are on the hunt for the shards.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu actually managed to find three pieces of them laying on the ground as he picked them up. He and the rest of the Pokemon had split up into every corner and area of the empire, searching high and low. Dragonite, Braviary and Altaria managed to make the most progress due to them being able to fly.

"Espeon!" Eve carried many shards by using her psychic capabilities to raise them. Altaria placed some of the shards in her cotton wings. But they kind of stung since they were sharp. So far, the Pokemon were doing a great job of finding the shards until they came across a problem themselves.

"Raboot!" Raboot and Sobble had come across one major problem. A Sableye. This wasn't a good sign. Sableye eat crystals. And all these shards are made out of crystals. The Darkness Pokemon had set its eyes on the shards, planning to eat them. In fact, it had one right in its clutches, taunting the two Pokemon with it.

"Sableye..." It dangled the shards over its mouth, preparing to eat it. But Raboot wouldn't let that happen. It used Quick Attack to kick the shard out of the Sableye's hand. "Eye?!"

"Boot!" The Rabbit Pokemon gave a stink-eye to Sabeleye, scaring it off. "Raboot..." It went over to pick up the shard, calling it a success. However, it wasn't a success for a long. Every other Sableye in this area had spotted Raboot's actions, not taking too kindly to it as their eyes all locked onto the Fire-Type. "Ra..."?

"Sobble..." The Water Lizard Pokemon hid behind, Raboot terrified. Rightfully so. There were a lot of them. Raboot figured the best option right now was to run with the shard. And that's what it did. Both it and Sobble made a run for it whilst the Sableeye all chased them both down. It wasn't long before the Sableye could see more shards up ahead.

"Raboot!" The Rabbit Pokemon looked back, kicking up a pebble to start up an Ember. It kicked the ember towards two Sableye, knocking them away. But that wouldn't stop the rest of them. Soon it was a chase around the Crystal Empire. Some of the Sableye had climbed up the buildings, using the move Power Gem to catch the two. They attacked with rays of light in that sparkled as if they were gemstones.

Raboot and Sobble managed to outpace the gems as they pelted on the ground, causing mini-craters along the way. Whilst escaping, the two came across some friendly company. Treecko and Luxio who were also carrying some shards.

"Lux?" Rainbow Dash's Luxio looked to their direction, noticing how they were being chased by Sableye whilst being attacked by Power Gems. "Luxio!"

"Treecko!" AJ's Treecko tossed the shards upwards, taking them off his hands for a bit. The Wood Gecko Pokemon unleashed a mighty Dragon Breath that raced towards the Sableye. Raboot and Sobble jumped out of the way, evading the Dragonbreath so that it doesn't end up hitting them in the process. Treecko's Dragonbreath was enough to send many of the Sableye in the distance, fainting along the way. But it ended up causing some of the buildings to lose a chunk of their structure. Whoops.

But there were still more. In fact, the Sableye practically populate the Crystal Empire just as much as the Crystal ponies. Since this is an empire full of crystals, it's a paradise for them. Which didn't spell good news now that they know there are just shards everywhere, waiting to be devoured. Thankfully, they don't reveal themselves in public. They tend to hide around a lot. Which means that the shards had yet to be grabbed by them.

Pikachu, Espeon and Braviary came across a pack of Sableye who had decided to attack them in order to get their crystals.

"Pika?!" Pikachu ducked, avoiding an incoming Shadow Claw from above. He almost dropped the shards he was carrying in his hands. "Pikachu!"

Eve especially was attempting to avoid them. She was a Psychic-Type and they were Dark-Ghost whilst she only knew Psychic and Normal moves. She'll be crushed if she even tries to fend them off. She had actually been cornered by some Sableye who decided to swarm around her. Eve held a ton of shards in her tail, doing her best to keep them balanced. But they did sting her tail.

"Braviary!" The Valiant Pokemon swooped in with Aerial Ace, knocking aside the Sableye as if they were bowling pins, saving Eve. Braviary picked up Eve, placing the Sun Pokemon on his back, giving her a ride. The Sableye attempted to shoot down Braviary with Power Gem, setting their eyes on the Normal-Flying-Type.

"Minccino!" Minccy had slapped a Sableye in the face with Aqua Tail, preventing it from grabbing the shards near it. One Sableye tried to snatch it from her whilst she wasn't paying attention. But she paid attention alright. Once she finished dealing with that Sableye, she immediately turned to the next, uppercutting it with her Aqua Tail.

"Chu-Pika!" Pikachu had knocked out a Sableye who came very close to grabbing a shard with its mouth. The Electric Mouse Pokemon decided to put an end to this by scattering his Thunderbolt everywhere. 100,00 volts of electricity had struck every single Sableye within its vicinity. Which was all of them. It proved to be an effective choice of moves as they all had fainted from the shock.

"Gengar!" Ash's Gengar had frozen any Sableye that tried to get close by using Ice Punch to do so. Dragonite however just simply stood in front of the pack of Darkness Pokemon, terrifying them without even doing anything.

Every single one of Rarity's Leavanny managed to restrain the Sableye by using String Shot whilst gathering some missing shards along the way. The Pokemon had managed to gather up a gigantic majority of the shattered Crystal Heart due to their hard work. Now, there were only ten shards left.

Riolu, Audino and Spinda were out searching for the remaining shards, looking everywhere they could. They came across the remaining shards in the form of one final Sableye. A Shiny Sableye to boot. It seemed to be the leader of the Sableye packed as it had the last of the crystal shards at its disposal.

"Sableye..." The Shiny Sableye knew what the Pokemon were up to. Retrieving all the shards just so they can restore the heart.

"Riolu!" Riolu stepped forward, ordering Sableye to give up the shards.

"Eye!" Obviously, it wasn't going to. Free food is free food.

"Rio!" Riolu decided to respond back with an attack. He tried using Vacuum Wave but that phased right through the Darkness Pokemon. After all, it is part Ghost. Meaning all of Riolu's attacks are essentially useless.

Sableye made a run for it with the remaining shards whilst they chased it down. The Darkness Pokemon shot at them with Power Gem whilst jetting off. Riolu had knocked the sparkling gems right back at the Shiny Pokemon by using Force Palm to do so. It proved to work since it was its own attack being turned against it.

"Sable!" The Darkness Pokemon ended up dropping all the shards due to getting hit by its own gems. The shards flew up into the air with the Pokemon all looking at it. Sableye quickly hopped up, attempting to snatch them back into its clutches. However, Audino had picked up Spinda, tossing the Spot Panda Pokemon forward.

"Spinda!" The Normal Type zoomed past Sableye, grabbing the remaining shards instead. A successful capture. But the leader of the Sableye wasn't about to let its food get away from it. It ran up to Spinda, lunging at the Spot Panda Pokemon who was completely unaware of the impending doom coming her way. But without her noticing, Whirlipede had arrived, smashing against Sableye with a good old Rollout.

"Sableye!" The Darkness Pokemon had been launched thanks to Whirlipede's interference. A Power Gem was quickly sent towards the direction of Whirlipede, pelting against the Curlipede Pokemon. This leader was very persistent in getting its gems back. But so were the other Pokemon. Along came Luxio who was on Altaria's back. The Spark Pokemon jumped off Humming Pokemon's soft and fluffy back, enveloping himself in electricity. In a flash of light, Luxio used Wild Charge to dash right into Sableye, crashing into the Dark-Ghost-Type. "SABLE?!"

And that was that. The last of the Sableye's had been stopped. The mission to retrieve the shards had been successful. Now it was time to head back to their trainers for the good news.


"Sunburst, I know you're busy, but did you hear what I said?" Starlight pleaded.

"Oh, I heard you, but-but like I said, when you're an important wizard, the work just piles up." He stammered.

"Sunburst!" Starlight groaned.

No use in keeping up the whole important wizard shtick. He decided it was about time to give out the truth. "Look, Starlight, I want to help. I do. But I can't. I wish I could."

"What do you mean?!"

"Fixing an ancient relic? I-I can't even come close to doing something like that!"

"But I thought you were an important wizard!"

"Well, you were wrong, okay?! I'm not an important wizard! I'm not even a wizard at all!" He began weeping.

"He's not?!" Both Spike and Goh said.

"I know it's hard for you to understand, but not all of us end up achieving greatness."

"What? Why wouldn't I understand that?" Starlight leaned forward.

"Really? You're the protégé of the Princess of Friendship! I don't think she picks just anypony for that!"

"Technically, she's more of a student than a protégé." Spike corrected.

"Whatever. I'm sorry I'm not the big important wizard you were expecting."

"Sunburst, I don't care if you're a wizard or not. I'm just surprised. You always knew so much about magic. I mean, look at all these books!"

"Yeah, well, reading about magic is one thing, but you don't know what it was like at magic school! To know so much and not be able to do any of it!"

"Well, you don't know what it was like to be left behind! And then getting so bitter that you steal the cutie marks from an entire village and then get defeated by Ash, Twilight and their friends, so you travel through time to get back at them, but they beat you again and teach you about friendship, but you're so terrified ponies will find out what you did that you can't make any friends!" Starlight rambled about the early past, tearing up herself. Saying all of that made him speechless with his glasses almost falling off.

"Did you really travel through time?" Sunburst asked.

"She sure did." Goh nodded.

"See? I told you he'd be impressed." Spike said.

"Hatterene..." Hatterene went up to Starlight, comforting her trainer with the claw she had.

"I'm sorry we lost touch. Maybe if I had reached out, you could have helped me at magic school, and I could have helped you to..."

"Not become totally evil?" Starlight sighed. "Let's just say I know what it's like to have something you're not exactly proud of."

"When you showed up thinking I was some big wizard... I'm sorry. I should have told you the truth."

"It's fine. At least we worked it all out. I think Twilight would be proud of us."

"She can be proud of you two later! Best get going!" Goh looked out the window to see the raging storm.

"I forgot to tell you!" Starlight gasped. "They're evacuating the city! You need to get to the train station unless you've got a spell here that will drive back the Frozen North and fix the Crystal Heart so the baby can have her Crystalling?"

"Crystalling...! Of course!" Sunburst actually did have something.


The two sisters and their Pokemon weren't doing so great. Their bodies were being covered in ice as the struggle to keep the clouds back was increasing.

"Push them back, my sister!" Celestria strained. The storm clouds had gotten too close them. Darkrai and Luna had been completely engulfed by them, still trying to fend them off with magic and Dark Pulse. Passion realized this was getting too close. So in a burst of adrenaline and fear, she managed to push back the storms by emitting her psychic energy. It did good to keep them back, but they were still closing in either way. And she ended up draining herself with that sudden burst.

Back on ground level, Shining Armor had continued to lead the ponies to safety. But it was a long path towards the train station at this point. "This way!"

A pony had slid on the ice, falling over on some snow. Cadence's Sylveon and Fluttershy had helped her up from the snow. Rainbow Dash had tried knocking away the clouds, but she ended up getting some ice on her in the process. She noticed that her wings had been frozen as well, so it wouldn't be the best option to fly right now.

Just then, Braviary and the other Pokemon were returning with the shards at their disposal.

"Braviary! You're back!" Rainbow Dash landed on Braviary's back. "Did you get the shards?!"

"Brav!" He nodded.

"Great job! Get them to where they originally were!" Rainbow Dash hopped off her Pokemon's back as the others rushed on towards the area where the Crystal Heart once used to be. Not only that, but Starlight, Spike and Goh had managed to arrive with Sunburst along. He apparently had something that could solve this whole problem.

"We have to go back!" Applejack exclaimed.

"I know how to stop this!" Sunburst replied. Whatever it was, it was their only saving grace.

"Pikapi!" Pikachu and the Pokemon made a safe return to the library, holding every last shard at their disposal.

"Great job guys!" Ash went up to Pikachu and the others. The Pokemon all placed the Crystal Heart on the floor, finally getting the sharp stings of the shards off of them.

"Uh, I think that's everything?" Twilight had finished scribbling the spell. She showed it off to Cadence who read through it quickly.

"It looks right to me, but... there's only one way to find out!"

Twilight poured all of her magic at the shards, initiating the spell. Cadence joined in for assistance. As the shards rose up into the air, Lo and behold, that spell was actually the real deal. The Crystal Heart had been repaired that easily. Albeit, having a cracked appearance.

But unfortunately...that ray of hope diminished. It turns around the spell wasn't enough. At best, it could only put the heart back together for a small moment. The cracks were a clear indication that it would just simply fall down eventually. Which they just did. The heart shattered once more, falling on the floor.

"The spell failed. I don't know what else to do." Twilight lowered her head.

"An old student of mine believes he does," Celestia spoke as she and everypony else had entered inside. Sunburst walked forward, spotting the shattered heart all over the floor.

"The baby did this?!" He was just as surprised as everyone else.

"I tried putting it back together with—" Twilight showed off the spell to Sunburst.

"The spell of Relic Reconstitution. No, that won't do it. The Crystal Heart's been around for millennia. Restoring a relic like this is way beyond one spell. You need to combine it with something else. Something unique to the relic itself. Something that strengthens it and provides it with power...?" He got out the book that was the answer to all their problems. He showed off the spell that could work to the young alicorn princess.

"The Crystalling!" Twilight gasped.

"Combining that spell with the light and love of everypony gathered for the ceremony, together with... Somnambula's Weather Abjuration to clear away the snow... and a little Fledgling's Forbearance for the parents... Heh. That should curb the little one's power fluctuations." Sunburst explained whilst he gave off books and scrolls to everypony who knew magic.

"You must be Sunburst. Starlight said you were a powerful wizard." Cadence turned to him.

"Oh, I'm no wizard." Sunburst shook his head. Saying that made some of them gasp.

"What?" Rainbow Dash uttered.

" But he studied magic his whole life! You should see his house! And since nopony has any better ideas, what do we have to lose?!" Starlight spoke.

"I had planned on asking Twilight to be our crystaller, but since it seems like she'll be busy," said Shining Armor to Sunburst.

"I'd be honoured."

"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Twilight turned her attention towards the shards along with the rest of the magic users. It was up to her, Celestia, Luna and Starlight to place the heart back to its true self. Twilight went first, raising the shards up as she strained. Celestia and Luna followed suit with their own magic, doing their very best to keep it still. Starlight finished it off by adding her magic to the mix as well. Even with the might of four powerful magic users, it was still straining them.

Outside, the others had stepped out to meet with the subjects of the Crystal Empire. Shining Armor and Cadence brought the baby forward, revealing them all to the newborn alicorn. They connected their magic together, creating a spark of light in the middle of the baby. The little alicorn had been raised up with Rarity bringing the case of gems. Sunburst picked out one singe gem for the Crystalling.

"Citizens! May I present the newest member of the Crystal Empire!" Sunburst introduced. The baby's light emanated across the area with such radiance. The subjects had this to say.

"She's beautiful!"

"Oh! It's just so moving!"

Everypony bowed down, finally causing the Crystalling to take place. Blue lights formed once they bowed their heads. Those lights spread across the ground of the entire empire, moving through every corner there was. Soon, the entire Crystal Empire lit up with that beautiful azure light as there was one final thing left to do.

Sunburst placed the single crystal on the ground, causing it to absorb all the light that surrounded the empire into it. The orange unicorn quickly rushed back inside to where the heart was being repaired, planning to beat out the clock. But it wasn't so safe at the moment. The shiny Sableye from before had returned, lunging forward and aiming to eat the crystal that Sunburst held. Raboot wasn't having any of that. The Rabbit Pokemon jumped up, kicking an Ember right at the Darkness Pokemon's face, knocking it out for good this time. Sunburst had finally managed to place the crystal inside of the heart as it pulled it in.

The princesses could finally stop what they were doing. Their work had been done. The Crystal Heart gyrated, spinning around whilst letting out a beautiful pink and blue aura around it. And just like that, it was over. The heart had been restored, sending a mighty light pulse that hit everypony in the Empire, turning their bodies into crystals, including the Pokemon as well. Their manes and hairstyles had even changed thanks to Crystalling. Just another one of its effects it leaves behind once active. The Sableye got a taste of this, actually feeling satisfied with themselves. The Crystalling was somehow a perfect replacement for just eating crystals. Plus they just liked the way it looked on them. All the snow and ice had been wiped away by this blue light, practically making it non-existent. The storm clouds had been blown away by a beautiful rainbow in the process.

"Best Crystalling ever!" The ponies cheered on.

"Oh! Check me out!" Goh looked at his crystallized body.

"I never noticed this with my hair!" Ash took off his hat, noticing that it had an upright appearance thanks to the Crystalling.

"This is...impressive..." Darkrai looked at himself, noticing that his usual dark and mysterious body was now dazzling with colour. Albeit a very dark colour but still dazzling nonetheless. Passion had gained a ponytail whilst some of the Pokemon got a nice change of appearance as well.

"For a pony who isn't great at magic, you did pretty well." Starlight turned to Sunburst.

"Indeed," Celestia said. "I'm glad to see you've found a way to share your unique gift, Sunburst. You may be more of a wizard than you think."


They could rest now. The entire group decided to make their way back to the train station, aiming to head back home after all of this. Arriving late were the parents of Twilight and Shining Armor. Night Light and Twilight Velvet.

"You would not believe the crazy weather that delayed our train. Came out of nowhere." Night Light said.

"But it was all worth it to see this peaceful little angel! Awww, so sweet! Come to your grandmare!" Twilight Velvet walked up to the baby.

"I wouldn't say peaceful..." Goh said quietly.

"I suppose that spell really did the trick!" Twilight nodded. It sure did. But to their shock, the baby felt like sneezing once more. They all grit their teeth, fearing the absolute worst to happen as they all scattered. But, it was just an ordinary sneeze. Thank Arceus. Manaphy hopped towards its trainer. The baby technically did own the Pokemon. And they got along well from the start.

"We have Sunburst to thank for that." Shining Armor let out a sigh of relief.

"I hope he takes his role as crystaller seriously. Something tells me the baby will need a pony like him to look to for magical advice." Cadence said.

"Cadance, darling, aren't we gonna name the poor little dear, or are we gonna spend our entire visit just calling her 'the baby'?" Twilight Velvet asked.

"We were thinking... "Flurry Heart"." The name of the baby had finally been given.

"You know, to remember the occasion." Shining Armor referred to how this one baby managed to cause a flurry to everyone's hearts in a span of a few minutes.

"Oh, goodness, how could anypony forget?" Rarity giggled.

"I think it's lovely." Twilight went over to Flurry Heart, kissing the baby on the head.

"That was rough. If we had a Blissey, this whole thing would've never happened." Ash chuckled.

"Pikachu.

"You got that right." Pinkie nodded along with Rarity and Applejack since they both knew what Blissey could do.

"What...?" Twilight turned around. "YOU MEAN THERE WAS A POKEMON THAT COULD'VE PREVENTED THIS WHOLE PROBLEM THE ENTIRE TIME?! AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US?!" Twilight jumped up at Ash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Rarity.

"Sorry. Things were getting wild so it slipped my mind." Ash grinned. "But hey, there's a Pokemon for everything, right?"

"Pika!"

"Dah! Agh...I give up. I'm done underestimating Pokemon." Twilight sighed as they all laughed, heading towards the train.

"Well, I think you're the Crystal Empire's big important wizard, whether you like it or not." Starlight spoke to Sunburst.

"I don't know if I'll have time for any wizarding. I'm a crystaller now. That's a big responsibility."

"I can't think of anypony more qualified. Just... promise you'll stay in touch?"

"Hm, like I'd ever lose touch with my oldest friend." The two gave each other a genuine hug whilst Twilight looked back at them.

"What's wrong, Twilight?" Spike asked.

"I don't know, Spike. I think I have a lot to learn about being a teacher."

"What are you talking about? Your lesson went perfectly! Starlight and Sunburst got over their past and rekindled their friendship!"

"No thanks to me. I know a lot happened. I just wish I could have given my pupil the attention she deserves."

"Well, I know she needed to be put on the right path, but giving her the space to make her own decisions worked pretty well. Isn't that how Celestia taught you?"

"You know, I never thought about it! But I guess it is!" Twilight realized as her Espeon hopped into her hooves.

"Maybe you're a better teacher than you thought."

"Espeon!"

"Minccino!" Both her Pokemon got comfortable with her as the train took its leave.

What a day. What started out as just a simple trip to the Empire, just to see the Crystalling and the newborn baby, turned into a frantic mess of fetching shards, repairing shards, swapping bodies, fighting off crystal hungry Pokemon and fending off an entire storm. But despite all that, they pulled through in the end. And whatever adventures await them later in the future, they're bound to share the same energy as this one as the journey continues.



Chapter 183 End!
