My Little Pokémon: Grander World

by Amarvax

The Final Push against the Dread League

Equestria. Exploud Canyon. Magehold. Day.

Opal Vivacity had been defeated, dispersing as particles of Infinity Energy and vanishing afterwards. Now all that was left was the Lich Queen herself. Rosa Maledicta. Despite Opal being the source of Magehold's rising evil, Rosa Maledicta was still set on making the Black Crusade a reality.

In her hooves, she was given the Box of 100 Demons that was retrieved by Melody Moon and Bittersweet. While the demons were all infected with Magehold Diseases, Rosa Maledicta still saw some use for them as she would not let any form of power go to waste.

"I-Is it true? Did Opal just lose?" Melody Moon questioned, still shocked that news of Opal Vivacity losing travelled that fast. It seemed almost impossible thanks to what Opal had accomplished.

"She did. But there is no time to dwell on it. Not when our enemies have their confidence boosted." Rosa Maledicta wished to move past that as soon as possible, focusing solely on her victory. "I'll be using the power of the demons to fuel what we've lost."

She would then generate a dark field in front of her before dropping the Box of 100 Demons into it. And once it was dropped, the darkness would elevate, channelling power from the Box. And of course, the demons within. Rosa Maledicta smiled as this Dark Magic would seep through Magehold, adding more magic to it that was recently wasted after the battle in the air.

"With the Demons, we can restore what has been taken. I used plenty of magic when I was moving the entirety of Magehold. The crash set me back a bit but this will make up for it easily."

"Will we be moving Magehold again?" BIttersweet asked.

"Precisely. This time, it will be the demons who will carry us there with their power. No matter what, they won't stop my goals and there will always be options to succeed. But I'd rather end this as soon as possible. Yveltal's Oblivion Wing will land. And if it doesn't...the time to end its life will come. I just have to make sure its at the right moment." The Lich Queen would then look outside, seeing the raging battle that continued even after Opal's defeat.

"What about everyone else? We have a lot of traitors now." Melody Moon threw her own question into it. "What do we do now since they're all fighting against the Black Crusade?"

"The traitors...They most held a grudge towards Opal Vivacity but now it seems that they've gotten the spirit to turn against me. And who would've thought that Fractured Note would be a part of them. My most trusted servant is against me. In fact, he's been against me this entire time." The thought of it made Rosa Maledicta sneer. "I'll say this. He was very crafty. Our Dread League numbers surpass theirs but we must not be too safe. We'll deal with those traitors who want to revolt against us. They'll face punishment firmly."

"Hah...Hah..." Outside, Celestial-Gardevoir was still doing everything in her power to keep Yveltal from using Oblivion Wing. She has been constantly countering the attack over and over again, successfully keeping it from reaching anyone else, even herself. "I can't keep this up forever. It's terrifying how he's only going for Oblivion Wing and nothing else. He's fully compelled to use it."

On top of that, her time as Celestial-Gardevoir could end eventually and that would only make things harder. Before she could think of another method, she saw how darkness was seeping out of Magehold suddenly, interacting with the entire nation. Similar to what Rosa Maledicta did when moving the nation, the magic from the Box of 100 Demons was about to do the same thing.

Once again, Magehold was about to move as the massive landmass was removing itself from Exploud Canyony's location. Everyone would feel the nation moving all of a sudden, preparing to enter a new location. Celestial-Gardevoir grit her teeth while seeing Yveltal charge another Oblivion Wing. That was yet another attempt at stopping it or at least diverting it.

Meanwhile, with Rarity's group, they were still in the room where Opal Vivacity had been defeated. Fluttershy's Bayleef was to thank for gearing fate in their favour as she was now missing a large chunk of her top leaf because of that. But it was worth it in the end. She could still hear and see the many vampires celebrating Opal Vivacity's defeat.

"So...you two are helping us now?" An exhausted Rarity said, looking over at Merry Dread and Dimstar. "Today is full of surprises."

"The best part is that we're all technically family!" Sonata, who was happy to know that her family was bigger, pulled in Merry Dread and Dimstar. "How great is that?!"

"Ugh..." Merry Dread grimaced while Dimstar had a neutral, unchanging expression, unaffected by this. "Just half-sisters, okay? We never even knew the other family side existed."

"We came here as soon as we could. It was pretty hard to miss what was going on here." Pinkie Pie added.

"That's nice and all, but I'm more focused on you." Dimstar would slip out of Sonata's hold, focusing on Fractured Note. He was the most important pony here in his eyes. She was afraid she'd never get the answer to what her father meant on that fateful day. But lo and behold, her Father was here but not in his usual form and he went by another name. Either way, Dimstar wasn't about to waste this opportunity. "Father. Is that really you? Is it true?"

"As true as it can be. I don't exactly look like how you last saw me, but I am the former Lich King Grevyine. And your father." Fractured Note confirmed it himself.

"Then, I have a lot of questions for you! Well, it's actually just one." Dimstar scrunched her face. "When you sealed me in that cube, what did you mean by your last batch of words? I believe I might've come across that meaning when I confronted the residents of Ponyville."

"Oh, right. Well, judging by how you're helping them out, what I said came to fruition." Fractured Note smiled. "But what I meant by that was that despite the fact that you're a Lich, Vampire and a Siren, the evil within you could be brought out by that Great Evil. The biggest example of that was Opal but it looks like she was the cause of it from the beginning."

"You feared I would've become like Opal Vivacity," Dimstar replied. "That's why you sealed me in that cube?"

"Mhm. I didn't want that evil affecting you so I had to keep you in there for safety. Since you're older than the rest of your siblings, I couldn't have sealed Merry Dread away either with the cube because she wasn't born yet. My time was up anyway. I put all my hope on you to bring Magehold's brightest future and that would be started by making friends of your own. Looks like you've done it."

"Um, these aren't my friends though." Dimstar shook her head, denying that she had friends at all. "I've never had friends and these Equestrians aren't them at all."

"We're not? Come on!" Pinkie Pie put her hoof around Dimstar's neck, giggling excitedly. "You're the one who helped us get here in the first place and you understood us too!"

"That doesn't make us friends though." Dimstar denied, using her invisible tendrils to move Pinkie Pie away, placing her next to Rainbow Dash. "And I'm sorry, Father. I couldn't be that pony at all. I'm not the one who is capable of bringing a brighter future to Magehold. Not by a long shot."

"Yeah, I figured..." Fractured Note sighed. "But that doesn't matter now. I'm glad you're doing well even after all these years. I do want to apologize for keeping you there. Besides, I think Magehold will have a brighter future thanks to the efforts of everyone. Not just one pony. I should've put my faith in the entire nation than just you."

"It's not over yet though," Cadence said. "Not until we stop the Lich Queen and free Yveltal from that mind control. Only then can your brighter future come."

"She's totally right. We can't sit around anymore. Let's get out there and take down that Lich Queen!" A pumped-up Rainbow Dash expressed before noticing one familiar face missing. Two of them, actually. Fantina and Volkner. Volkner she could understand but Fantina worried her since her memories were still locked away. "By the way...where did Fantina go?"

"She went to see Ebony Rhyme. A friend of hers." Eccentrick answered. "That Volkner Human went along with him and-" Before she could finish her sentence, eventually, Magehold's movements were felt by her and everyone else. Once again, they were in for a rough ride.

"Is it gonna move again?!" Applejack gasped.

"How did she gather that much magic to move Magehold a second time?!" Fractured Note gasped. "Even though she wasn't born a Lich, she's incredibly impressive!"

"I'm flattered by your words, Fractured." Just then, Rosa Maledicta spoke to Fractured Note and everyone else via her oversight of the entirety of Magehold. "But this isn't my doing. Well, it partially is. I'm disappointed that you were gearing up to betray me this entire time. You were biding your time with all of the previous Lich Rulers, wanting to see the Dread League and Black Crusade shut down."

"But how are you still going through with this horrible plan?" Fractured Note questioned. "Opal has been beaten so the Lich CYcle should come to an end."

"There's a reason she kept me around longer than the rest. I'm the best Lich Ruler there's ever been. The Magic of Magehold has embraced me more than the others. Even with Opal gone, I will finish what she started and become victorious!"

With that bellowing shout, Magehold was thrust out of the ground, taking flight once more. The force it made when entering the air threw many off balance and even made those who were airborne bump their heads. Once again, Magehold was moving, leaving Exploud Canyon at great speeds.

"On top of that, the Demons within the box will be forced to use their powers from the outside to crush you all. And I think I'll start with the town that's been giving me so much trouble. The pain in my side. Ponyville." Rosa's destination had changed. Previously, it was Canterlot she wanted to go after.

Now, Ponyville was her main target. Her old home. Due to the fact that the majority of the intruders who have been slowing down her plans and getting in her way are from Ponyville, her urge to destroy it had been greatly elevated after Opal's defeat.

All the while, the 97 Demons within the box were suffering, having their power used as a way to keep Magehold moving. Without their creator Chrysalis here, they were helpless while having Magehold Curses within their bodies, only adding to that suffering.

But it wasn't just the Demons that Rosa Maledicta would use. The Pony of Shadows was her other best option now that Opal Vivacity was gone. The Shadow Army would hear Rosa Maledicta's voice, listening to her the same way they listen to the Pony of Shadows. The Lich Quen didn't stop there. She went even further to ensure her victory. The Dark Magic field she made would then unleash these black tendrils that flew out of Magehold and went straight for the land of Equestria below. They would stab into the earth while being dragged along by the flying nation.

As Magehold was flying through the air, the morose feeling that the Lich Queen could generate returned. She was once again using the spirits to her advantage, sending a horrible presence throughout the atmosphere. The tendrils would seek out those that have long since passed, grabbing ahold of their spirits. Her opponents would all feel this morose feeling as the spirits were once again disturbed. But this time, it wasn't just the ones in Magehold but also across the lands of Equestria. Those that have passed on were being used as weapons.

"Not this again..." Applejack groaned, struggling to stand up.

"Rio...Riolu!" Delta Riolu was upset that he had to feel this once again. The Embalming Pokemon hoped that he would never have to feel this again, but alas, he couldn't escape it. No matter what, the Dread League tampered with the afterlife and Rosa Maledicta was about to use every single spirit to her advantage.

"As for you, Celestia..." Rosa's attention then went towards Celestial-Gardevoir, who was already showing signs of giving out. The moment Oblivion Wing was fired, Celestial-Gardevoir used yet another beam to clash with it, blocking the attack from landing. "Even you have your limits."

"Ngh!" Celestial-Gardervoir groaned as her arms were trembling when trying to stop Oblivion Wing. This constant back and forth has been weakening her, but now the Dark Magic was starting to add to that. Celestial-Gardevoir soon felt that morose feeling which was breaking her concentration, slowly making Oblivion Wing push through.

"You'll be next in line to perish, Princess Celestia!" Rosa Maledicta raised her hoof, declaring that the Celestia and her partner Gardevoir would meet their end at last. And judging by how Oblivion Wing was starting to win the clash, it looked like that was about to become a reality.

Celestial-Gardevoir had one option to survive. She could move out of the way and avoid the Oblivion Wing but that would mean everyone down there would be greatly harmed. She couldn't let that happen. She'd rather give herself up then have everyone else perish. The unified drive of Celestia and Gardevoir were burning brightly but they couldnt' do anything about this horrific feeling and there was no one high up in the air to help them with this clash as Rosa Maledicta smiled, believing in her victory.

Or so it seemed.

From above, blending in with the shadows and moving through the dark clouds was another Pokemon. A Pokemon who was already the master of the shadows. Rosa Maledicta felt this presence appearing from above, quickly arising her head. It was none other than the Pitch Black Pokemon Darkrai.

"Darkrai?!" Rosa Maledicta gasped as Darkrai hadn't shown himself until now. And in his hands, he already had a Dark Void prepared. With all of his might, he would slam the Dark Void down on Yveltal's head before Rosa Maledicta could do anything about it.

And with the darkness enveloping Yveltal's entire body with just one strike, at last, someone managed to subdue the Destruction Pokemon in some way. And it ended up being the Mythical Darkrai. And when seeing Darkrai, Celestial-Gardevoir already knew what that meant.

Luna was here. She was seen high above Darkrai, entering the scene at last. She was a bit late considering that the Sirens made it here before she did but better late than never and she certainly picked the best time to show up. Yveltal's Oblivion Wing abruptly ended which resulted in the Destruction Pokemon falling asleep.

"Luna!" Celestial-Gardevoir yelled while holding onto her hoof which was trembling uncontrollably. The happiness she felt seeing Luna and Darkrai was stupendous. And if she was here, that meant that Reshiram and Zekrom were with her, even though they were just stones at the moment.

With Yveltal falling asleep, the biggest threat had been temporatily taken care of. And when seeing Yveltal drop from above, now was Valerie's time to take advantage of the situation. "Wiggulytuff, DIsable!"

"WIgglytuff!" Wigglytuff leapt into the air, channelling the power in her arm as she couldn't waste this oppurtunity. Shadow Beings were already getting in her way to try and stop her while also racing to catch Yveltal before he could fall to the ground.

"Dragon Claw!"

"Gar...Chomp!" But Cynthia's Garchomp would also get in their way. She would slash past the shadows, knocking them aside and giving Wigglytuff the space to move through. And as for the shadows that tried grabbing Yveltal, they were intercepted once more.

"Druddigon! Flash Cannon!"

"Druddi!" Drayden's Druddigon was the one to intercept the shadows yet again. With a powerful blast of light energy flying out his mouth, he would blast the Shadow Pokemon out of the air. Wigglytuff finally had some free space aside from Yveltal being close to her.

"Wiggly!" And at last, since Oblivion Wing was the only move he's been using the entire time, with Wigglytuff touching Yveltal's head, the energy from her move would finally transfer. Oblivion Wing was targeted, scanned and immediately shut down. There was no clear sign that it was but considering how Disable works, it was very easy for everyone to know that the move had indeed succeeded.

"It worked!" Valerie jumped for joy now that Disable finally landed. Not only was Yveltal asleep but he now lost access to his most powerful attack.

"Tch! Nuisances! All of them" Rosa Maledicta groaned as this battle once again took a sharp turn, changing the tides.

"Now's my chance!" Now that Yveltal was asleep, Celestial-Gardevoir did not hesitate, flying over to the castle at full speed. Her next target was Rosa Maledicta, who currently had Yveltal's Master Ball.

If she destroys the Master Ball, Yveltal will be free. At least, he won't be Rosa Maledicta's Pokemon anymore. Rosa Maledicta glared her eyes at Celestial-Gardevoir, sending a pulse of darkness to try and knock her out of the sky. The Alicorn-Pokemon Fusion would soon retaliate with her own powerful glare that met with Rosa's pulse. The two pulses of Light and Dark would clash, shattering the nearby windows.

Rosa Maledicta was pushed back by this aftershock as Celestial-Gardevoir entered the castle, landing on the surprisingly neat and welcoming floor. The Lich Queen's intruders have now entered her castle, much to her annoyance which was growing by the second. But she wouldn't be alone. Now that Luna had arrived, she would join her sister along with Darkrai, standing beside her.

Next to Rosa Maledicta were Melody Moon and Bittersweet, who were greatly intimidated by Celestial-Gardevoir's appearance. Now that Equestria was making quite the comeback, there was a very good reason to be intimidated by them, perhaps even afraid of them.

"Hand over that Master Ball, Rosa!" Celestial-Gardevoir exclaimed. "You've lost your biggest advantage now and you won't be controlling him anymore!"

"As if it's the Master Ball that's controlling him." Rosa sneered. "Even if you destroy it, Yveltal will still be under my control."

"Then all we have to do is defeat you and that will end," Luna added.

"You can try. You're the only ones who have managed to enter the castle. That only makes sense considering who you two are but this ais far as you go."

"Who said we're the only ones?" Celestial-Gardevoir smiled, referring to someone else who managed to enter. "Sounds like someone went under your radar while you were too focused on the outside.

"What Who in the world-" Rosa had to see this for herself. There was someone she missed thanks to everything happening outside. Someone was already here. And when looking within her castle, it was none other than Ash Ketchum.

Ash and his Pokemon could be seen charging through the castle hallways, confronting plenty of vampires that stood in their way as they were obviously heading for the top. Pikachu, Dragonite, Lucario, Gengar, Dracovish and now recently Sirfetch'd were trucking on through.

"Impossible! How did he slip by? It must've been Sombra who helped him!" Now she had Ash to worry about who was a threat in his own right. But for now, she had to deal with the two alicorns that appeared in her throne room. "Melody! Bittersweet! Deal with Ash Ketchum!"

"Y-Yes your majesty!" Melody Moon stammered as she and Bittersweet would quickly leave the room. Now it was just the three of them.

"Luna. You have Reshiram and Zekrom with you, right?" Celestial-Gardevoir looked over at Luna, asking about the Twin Dragons.

"I do. Zekrom is in a better condition than Reshiram but I'm afraid neither of them help us at all. The only way to summon them is with the drive of Truths and Ideals. Unfortunately, I have no ideals or truths in me to share." Luna confirmed.

"Handling the two of you will be difficult, I'll admit. But I always have some backup! Such as the Pony of Shadows!" Rosa Maledicta was now counting on the Pony of Shadows to assist her. Yveltal was asleep and Opal Vivacity was gone. The backup that she was right to have would be called upon as a vicious maelstrom of shadows were appearing right behind her.

---

Ponehenge.

Of course, this meant that the battle at Ponehenge would be interrupted. Twilight and her friends were already engaging with the Pony of Shadows, trying to fend him off so that they can escape and find the necessary means to banish him.

"Espeon!" Espeon and Haxorus were fiercely attacking the Pony of Shadows, engaging with the fearsome shadow weapons that he would summon while the Golurk assisted them from all sides. Starlight had also sent her Clobbopus into battle for the first time since Hatterene had been taken by Yveltal's Oblivion Wing.

"Clobbopus!" The little Pokemon latched himself onto one of the shadows, beating on it with slow but heavy hits. Radiant Hope didn't have another Pokemon on her so all she could do was use her magic which was already powerful in its own right. Being a Pseudo Alicorn has its benefits.

"Hm?" Before the Pony of Shadows could make his next move, that was when he heard Rosa Maledicta's voice. By having a Shadow Army, he could listen to the Lich Queen thanks to his many vessels. And at this moment, he was being summoned to assist her. His body was rippling as it was a sign of him being taken away.

"It seems I'm needed elsewhere. But this is far from over. You won't banish me like they did. I swear it." The Pony of Shadows sneered as an incoming Aura Sphere from Togekiss phased through him. He was no longer here as his body had left Ponehenge, returning to Magehold. And now that he was gone, the Shadows he summoned around Ponehenge would leave as well, no longer trapping Twilight and the others.

"He's gone?!" Sunburst gasped. "But why?! I thought he would've stayed behind to keep us from recreating what the Pillars did.

"Probably back to Magehold with the Lich Queen. Something big must be going on back at Magehold," said Starlight.

"Well, this is our chance!" Twilight turned to face them all. "To the Crystal Empire and Canterlot Guards, could you please go back to Magehold and help everyone else out?"

"Sure, we can do that." A guard nodded in confirmation.

"As for us, let's do what Starswirl and the Pillars all did. I have to look through this journal as soon as possible to know what we can do to banish him." Twilight brought the journal of Starswirl to her, needing to read as fast as possible while also processing everything carefully. There was little time on the clock considering what the Black Crusade was all about.

"Where do we go then? Back to Magehold." Spike asked.

"No. To Ponyville."

---

Above the skies of Equestria. Magehold.

Called to the scene was the Pony of Shadows, who made his aura envelop the Lich Queen all over. The head of the Pony of Shadows would also emerge over the Lich Queen who was embracing the shadows with grace, lifting her head and closing her eyes. She then reopened her eyes which had dimmed a bit.

On top of that, the uncomfortable feeling of the deceased kept permeating across Magehold for all to feel. It would be Rosa's method of keeping them all uncomfortable. Celestia and Luna had to battle under this condition and they could already tell it wouldn't be easy.

"Prepare yourselves, princesses!" Rosa Maledicta would shout, gearing up to end the two alicorns once and for all. Of course, she would keep them around first to take their lifespans and then end their lives.

Meanwhile, over at the chamber, those who were celebrating Opal's defeat had their happiness interrupted. Not just from the moving nation but also the morose and dreadful feeling the Lich Queen summoned. It was far greater than before, rendering some ponies immobile. Now that the citizens of Magehold have chosen their side, they were not safe from the conflict anymore.

Unfortunately, this did not leave the Shadow Army or the Despair Plants immobile. They would take advantage of this scenario, creeping up on Rarity and the others. Many of them were fusions and even though they weren't ridiculously durable like before thanks to the souls that were being removed out of them, they were still very much threatening in many ways.

"Are you kidding me...? How are there still so many of them?!" Rainbow Dash groaned while holding onto her head.

"I never thought she'd have the capability to grow this many Despair Plants." Fractured Note gasped as he was the only one unaffected by this, despite no longer being on the side of the Dread League. Since he still has a bit of Lich in him, he was fine in this morose environment. Either way, the Despair Plans were the most threatening to him.

With the Sun being blocked by the dark clouds above, Bayleef could not rely on her leaf constantly. Daisy and Paradise also had to be careful with the Sunlight so hidden. They, unfortunately, could not sway these Despair Plants at all, unlike the others.

Even though they felt weak, they would stand and try to defend themselves in the face of such adversity. They've already taken down Opal VIvaicty so they couldn't afford to let this scare them at all. Suddenly, the Despair Plants would join together with each of them opening their respective and terrifying mouths. They were closer than ever as they stopped approaching the group all of a sudden.

And from their mouths, the morose feeling was emerging from within. Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief as the Despair Plants were channelling the power of the deceased as well, much like their creator, Rosa Maledicta. Even Fractured Note never expected this.

"Impossible! They're using the spirits as well?!" Fractured Note's jaw dropped as the light blue energy that spirits are usually associated with appeared. And the way they were building it up shook the room around them while their bodies felt cold and haunted by this uncomfortable presence.

"T-That looks like nothing! Get ready to block it, Braviary! Steel Wing!"

"Viary!" Bravaiary would fortify his wings with pure steel, preparing to defend everyone. But even Steel Wing looked a bit lacklustre, lacking that full oomph it usually has.

"Audi! Use Protect!"

"Audino!" Audino would put up a Protect, only adding to that fortification. The beam of Spirits was then unleashed, ready to engulf them all. No one had any idea what this would do to them but they weren't waiting to find out. Audino's Protect was the first to meet with the Spirit Beam.

The moment it crashed into the shield, it was already about to break through as it was far stronger than what Audino was waiting for. The Spirit Beam ended up melting Audino's Shield instead of shattering it. The way it interacted with it was far different than any other attack. And just by being near it, some ponies and Pokemon started to faint.

"Bay...Bayleef..." Bayleef, who was already wounded after using her leaf, fell to the floor, fainting out of pressure from this horrible atmosphere.

"Bayleef?!" Fluttershy gasped as she felt herself about to faint too. The residents of Magehold were passing out too, unable to handle something this horrifying. Audino was the closest and her body was already feeling the pressure. Her arms were going limp and her eyes were starting to close. She tried her best to stay awake but it was no use. Soon, Audino fainted as well.

The shield had melted away as now it was Braviary's turn to try and stop it. He used the power of Steel Wing as a shield but he was also feeling the need to faint. He was making direct contact with this beam of spirits which was about to affect him more than anyone else. And of course, the Steel Wing was weaker than before, making this defence too weak to stop the beam.

Braviary wouldn't give up though and the ones behind him would support him. Fractured Note and Dimstar chimed in, being immune to this horrible feeling. Dimstar was closer to a Lich than her sister Merry Dread, granting her this immunity as she has done this before already. His magic was poured out, assisting Braviary and keeping him in there. "I don't have much of a response to this, unfortunately! I'm not a full-on Lich anymore but I can at least support you by giving you strength!"

"I hope I can benefit you this way!" Dimstat exclaimed, using the same magic to counter the Spirit Beam, sharing power with Braviary.

"Bravi!" Braviary greatly appreciated it. But it looked like it wouldn't be enough. His Steel Wing was starting to melt slowly as the Spirit Beam was about to push through. Many more were fainting, dropping like flies and unable to focus. "V-Viary!"

Rainbow Dash looked like she would be the next to faint as she banged her head on the ground to keep herself awake. Even a former Lich and a Half Lich couldn't do much against it as Braviary's strength was beginning to give out.

"Riolu..!" Suddenly, Stepping in front of everyone to try and block it was Delta Riolu.

"Riolu?!" Applejack bellowed after seeing Riolu get in front of it despite his small size. But it wasn't the size that Riolu cared about. What he cared about were the victims he's managed to hear. It started back at Lapras Lake and has persisted. As the Embalming Pokemon, something like this couldn't be ignored at all. Tending to the deceased was his job but he also wished to see them in peace. After all, his own parents were long gone by now and the thought of the Lich Queen using their souls eventually if she ever wins was horrendous.

"Braviary!" Braviary gave out, unable to keep it up as he went flying back. However, even though Braviary couldn't stop it, the beam was still in the same position, trying to push through. That was thanks to Delta Riolu.

Those still conscious saw how Delta Riolu was holding back the Spirit Beam despite being on his own. Fractured Note and Dimstar looked over to see the Embalming Pokemon handling the beam on his lonesome without the assistance of anyone. Braviary was much stronger and yet he couldn't stop it. Riolu also didn't look that affected by the morose aura here. He could hear the sounds of the spirits as always and the anger they brought.

But he did not let it get to them. Riolu was used to something like this since he came from the Holon Pyramid and he wished to bring peace to them. But they would never know peace until the Black Crusade was over for good.

"Rio...Rio...!" Riol growled as his Aura was flaring out of his body, trying to push him forward. Applejack felt Delta Riolu's Aura rise. This entire time he's been interacting with the deceased, she noticed how he was changing this entire time. And that change continued even here.

"Riolu...You got this partner!" Applejack cheered her beloved Pokemon on.

"Rio...Luca!" SUddenly, Riolu's voice and tone would change as the Aura would fully envelop his body. All eyes were on him as they suddenly saw an outburst of Aura fly out of his body. The Aura grew in size, matching the Spirit Beam as it would illuminate the area.

But the light it gave off wasn't dangerous to the vampires. Their bodies would not heat up at all. Instead, this light also had some darkness to it that was rather welcoming. It was from a friend after all so there was no way it would be threatening to them at all. They had never seen a darkness so gentle before aside from Darkrai. The atmosphere was also changing. This meant only one thing.

Evolution.

A New Lucario was entering this world. And he made quite the entrance. The Spirit Beam was absorbed by the Aura as the Pokemon behind it made his appearance, stunning Applejack who was in amazement by what she saw. Delta Lucario had arrived.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 189 End.

Aw yeah! Delta Lucario is here!

[ArcticAce01]

Great chapter! Things to be looking up for are heroes.

Oblivion Wing may he disable and Yveltal may be down. But both won’t last for long.

Hopefully they’ll make a even more turn before Oblivion Wing is usable again

Many thanks.
