My Little Pokémon: Grander World

New Frontier Brains

Equestria. Ponyville. Twilight's Castle. Day.

"Pokemon. They're the Strange and Wonderful creatures that came to us one day thanks to a Cosmic Action. They live in a world where they're as plentiful as the many grains of sand. Perhaps even more. For the satisfaction of entertainment, the Cosmic Entity known as the Rift crossed over both of our worlds. We shared different earths as usual but we were aware of each other's existence. Humans and Pokemon entered our world and we have interacted with them via the many gateways that were left behind."

Twilight spoke of the basis of how her world met with the World of Pokemon. And her reasoning for this was to show Starswirl the Bearded, catching him up with the current world. Twilight brought out her Memory Book, showing Starswirl the important moments.

"It's been 4 years since then and a lot has happened. This Memory Book doesn't even scratch the surface."

"Well, it makes sense now. And it was easy for you all to get adjusted to these creatures?"

"It wasn't that easy. The things they could do were absolutely amazing. Good or bad. It took a while for us to get used to them and the best part was befriending them." Twilight would then look down at Espeon, petting the Sun Pokemon and making her purr.

"Espeon..."

"For 4 years, our world stayed completely separate from each other and all we did was move from world to world. That is until we searched for the Wish Pokemon Jirachi. The Wish Pokemon. The Rift had locked up every single Jirachi, making sure no one goes after them. But eventually, we found out where all the Jirachi were and after some rough times, we, or I guess Ash, got the wish off and merged the worlds as one."

Twilight, while she didn't see Jirachi herself, made an illustration of the Wish Pokemon thanks to Pinkie Pie's Mew transforming into one. The appearance of the Wish Pokemon plus Twilight's impressive artistic skills were shown to Starswirl as he got a good look at the Pokemon who maximized the world.

"So it was that Ash boy who made it this way," Starswirl uttered.

"Mhm. And it was worth it. That's basically a gist of how we got to here and now. The Humans who come from the Pokemon World aren't the same ones that the Sirens went to. That world is still its own thing. Jirachi granted the wish we've all wanted at the cost of a lot of missing gateways."

"Everypony wanted this?"

"Not just everypony, but every creature we know of. The Humans and Pokemon have formed a really strong bond with all of us. We went through a lot together. I don't know how we would've survived if we didn't have them as our friends. So everyone was craving for the worlds to stay together."

"I see..." Starswirl took it all in before looking over at Absol, who was resting peacefully. Running by Absol were Daisy and Paradise, the two Flora Ponies. Twilight had yet to address them and how she managed to create a new species entirely. "Well, you have sorted everything out well enough."

"Mhm. But we still have ways to go. I just showed you the short history of how our worlds met and eventually became one. The Earth is now much bigger than it ever was since the two of them merged. I should show you Pokemon Types next. There's a lot to go over!" An excited Twilight said before using her magic to bring over three massive books.

These books were dropped onto the table, almost breaking it as they contained vast knowledge of the Pokemon World. Biology, Physiology, Typings, History and more were within these books, each covering so many things it seemed endless. And these were only thee books out of numerous and numerous.

"Twilight. I think I will be fine reading these books on my own." Starswirl said, seeing this as an easy task. He would take on the task of reading the books on his own.

"Oh, sure, sure!" Twilight rapidly nodded her head. "Silly of me! You've got this covered! I'll just leave you to do your own thing." To let Starswirl take all of it, Twilight would prance off. Starswirl had these three books and many more to go over as he had plenty of time on his hooves. Even when being brought back into the present, it felt like time barely passed for him at all.

Kanto. Vermillion City. Cerise Laboratory. Day.

"That all happened?!" Meanwhile, over at Vermillion City, Ash had met up with Goh and Chloe, sharing with them everything that happened during the Black Crusade. "That explains that wave of destruction we saw."

"Our bodies became still in an instant and I don't know what happened before that," Chloe added.

"Yeah. But Xerneas fixed everything up easily."

"That's scary though. For a while, we lost our lives. To think such a Pokemon exists." Chloe shuddered, holding her Eevee close to her.

"But it's reassuring to know that there's another Pokemon to counter something so scary," Goh replied. "But we don't have to worry about that anymore, do we?"

"Xerneas and Yveltal probably won't be showing up under anyone's radar anytime soon." Cerise added to the conversation. "But...The damage to the world is still there thanks to the Black Crusade. Xerneans healed the buildings and a good chunk of nature. But there are still things even Xerneas couldn't resurrect. Anistar City on the bright side, was rebuilt.

On the large holographic screen, Cerise showed them the aftermath of the Black Crusade. A huge array of damage had been left behind that would be difficult to repair. While Anistar City and other locations near it were repaired, the land still suffered from that Black Beam.

"In situations like this, the 3rd Member of the Aura Trio should show up and fix it." Cerise said.

"Who's the 3rd Member?" Goh and Chloe asked.

"It's Zygarde!" Ash answered for him. "This is Zygarde's speciality. It's the guardian of the ecosystem. If something goes wrong, Zygarde's gonna do something about it."

"Oooh..." Goh cooed in amazement.

"Most likely, Zygarde is on the move. On top of that beam that hit Anistar City, Yveltal's wave of destruction still caused some tremendous damage to the world."

"Yeah. It sure is. Greninja's probably helping Zygarde out right now." Ash nodded, knowing exactly where Zygarde was. Or at least, who it was with. His Pokemon Greninja, who was out in the wild now.

"Your Greninja's with Zygade!?" Goh gasped to hear something so important yet casual-sounding from Ash's mouth.

"Yep. All of its cells are with Greninja. The day I said goodbye to Greninja was the day that Zygarde promised to help him destroy the roots that were still remaining around Kalos. That was way before the two worlds met."

"That's reassuring to know that your Pokemon is helping out," said Chloe. "But now that this is all over, what do you plan to do? It's been two days now."

"Well..." Ash grinned, already having a lot of things on his mind. "I always have something I wanna do. But right now, I wanna head to Magehold and help Spectrum Shade out."

"The vampire you battled yesterday, right? Professor Oak told me about that battle. You two went quite the distance with it to the point where your whole town took notice of it." Cerise approached Ash, having knowledge of this battle over at the Ketchum Household.

"Yeah. She's a good battler but still has some ways to go. After our battle, I made a promise to her that I'd show up at Magehold and help her out. She also wanted me to help out other Pokemon Trainers. Fantina's already taught some of them about Pokemon Contests so I'm psyched to teach them all about Pokemon Battling for a while."

"Is it the right call to head back to Magehold even after everything that's happened? Personally, I'd stay away from it for a few months or so." Chloe grumbled, unsure if it was right to go back to Magehold this soon. But to Ash, it didn't matter.

"Scrap that, Ash!" Entering Cerise Laboratory at high speeds was none other than Rainbow Dash who wanted Ash to forget about going to Magehold already. "I've got something better!"

"Hm? What's up?" Ash asked.

"It's the Battle Frontier! It's gonna show some of its first Frontier Brains!"

"Oh yeah?! Sweet!" That psyched Ash up. While he did want to go to Magehold, he was eager to see this first. The Frontier Brains were the most essential part of the Battle Frontier.

"Even after what just happened?" Chloe was amazed that the people running the Battle Frontier could just casually continue their work even after the giant wave of destruction enveloped the entire world.

"Just one step closer until I get to challenge the Battle Frontier!" Rainbow Dash squeed in anticipation. Ash and Rainbow Dash couldn't just stand and hover around here. They had to see the Frontier Brains immediately. Ash wondered if he would spot someone familiar or brand new. Either one was exciting for him in different ways.

They would storm out of the lab while Cerise turned to face his monitor, eyeing down Zygarde. He expected Zygarde to show up eventually. Without a doubt, this was the most damage the world has ever faced which should prompt immediate action from the Order Pokemon who will most likely be moving across the entire world.

But there was something else on Cerise's mind. The World was now larger since two earths have now become one. He had to wonder how Zygarde would respond to this and future actions that could come from such a Celestial Event.

Equestria. Manehattan. The Battle Frontier. Afternoon.

The Battle Frontier of Manehattan. Once the Battle Carnival and still retaining that Carnival appearance, it was the newest Frontier in the world, giving those from Equestria not just a taste of the Battle Frontier but the full-course meal. Previously, it had been placed here at Manehattan as the employees from the Battle Carnival were still present. They would still treat the carnival as a place for entertainment and for battling. That much hasn't changed.

However, there were some slight changes made since it as now a Battle Frontier. Such as how it would cater to the Frontier Brains when they are taking on challengers. And speaking of the Frontier Brains, today was the day some of them were revealed.

Ash and Rainbow Dash made their way to Manehattan as soon as possible to see the announcement of the Frontier Brains. They weren't too late to join the other ponies to see this announcement. Outside the Battle Carnival, the employees were holding up signs that mentioned this announcement, drawing attention to themselves.

"Who do you think it'll be?" Rainbow Dash asked. "I can't think of anyone else right now. And if I can, they're already doing something else or are going straight for the Equestria League."

"Hmm...I don't know if it's anyone from the other Battle Frontiers." Ash pondered alongside Pikachu. "They're already occupied. It can't be anyone from the other Battle Frontiers. I don't think it's a Gym Leader either. It's gotta be someone pretty known but has a lot of free time."

"Pika..."

"Well, whoever it is, I'm gonna beat them!" Rainbow Dash grinned, boasting that she would emerge victorious instantly, no matter who it ends up being.

"Not until I beat them first." But another Pokemon Trainer responded to Rainbow Dash, claiming immediate victory as well. Faster than Rainbow Dash even.

"Hm?!" Rainbow Dash shifted her eyes and head to the side to see who spouted it. Lo and behold, it was one of her rivals, Lightning Dust, who grinned back at Rainbow Dash with a cocky look on her face. "Aw, you!" Rainbow Dash groaned as her mood had been greatly spoiled.

"I had to show up for this. In case it was starting today," said Lightning Dust. "Honestly, you should've probably seen this coming."

"Hmph." Rainbow Dash sneered at Lightning Dust. "I guess I should've known you'd show up here too. You already took on a Frontier Brain. Brandon. And he wiped the floor with you didn't he?" Rainbow Dash then put on that wide grin, cheesing at Lightning Dust. "I don't think this is gonna be any different."

"Tch. You're only saying that because you haven't taken on a Frontier Brain yet. I'm betting you'll lose to the very first one. I've got experience from battling the strongest Frontier Brain, so I'm more than prepared."

"Ugh. This is just like the Canterlot Tag Match." A pony said, recalling this moment back at the Canterlot Tag Match and how these two were tag partners during that.

"Ya know, whoever it is, they'll come at both of you with their best. Famous or not." Ash said to the two pegasi.

"Of course it's someone famous. Who else would it be?" Suddenly, someone would approach the Battle Frontier, responding to Ash's words. All attention turned to this individual, who would stand in between the two Battle Frontier Employees. "You should expect the best to be in here. Not some no-names. And as a celebrity, I'm an absolute shoe-in for this position."

"I don't expect everypony to know me, but they will very soon. But to the Human in the crowd, you should be amazed to come across me. Sharon!" She introduced herself as the Battle Frontier Employees unleashed sparkles and confetti for her appearance, making her stand out.

"...Who are you?" Ash said, having no clue as to who this was. It was no one he remembered or even heard about.

"Kh!" Sharon pulled back, gutted that her fame had been shut down by Ash's words, who has never even known about her existence until now. She would then bare her fangs, raising her voice at Ash. "Rude! You don't know who I am?! I am the PFG Princess! I don't expect anyone in Equestria or many in Equestria to know about me but you!?"

"Sorry. I don't have a clue who you are." Ash wished he knew who she was since she was apparently a celebrity, but alas, he still had more of the world to know about.

"A-Apologies, Princess." An employee apologized to her. "There will be some people who don't know who you are. Pokemon Figure Games aren't exactly as popular as normal Pokemon Battles."

"Even outside of that, I'm an excellent battler in my own right!" Sharon crossed her arms. "Skilled enough to climb high up the Pokemon World Championships ladder. It's only a matter of time until I'm at the top."

"Sweet! I'm in it too!" Ash pointed at himself. "I'm gonna get to the top and battle Leon!"

"And who are you supposed to be, making such a bold claim?" Sharon raised an eyebrow. "It almost sounds like you're going to defeat Leon."

"Of course he is! Ash is gonna win and become the World's Strongest Trainer!" Encouraging him was Rainbow Dash, placing her hoof on Ash's shoulder.

"Ash?" Sharon had heard of that name before as it rang a bell. She looked at Ash for a moment, observing him. That signature blue, that hat and the fact that he had a Pikachu on his shoulder gave her answers. "Oh, you're that Ash. You made quite a ruckus during your match with Gym Leader Bea."

"You saw that battle? Yeah, it got pretty wild super fast. But that was because I was getting used to having all of my Aura flow out." Ash chuckled.

"And apparently, you're supposed to be the King of the Sea? You don't look like a King at all." Sharon was familiar with the title of the King of the Sea.

"I don't?" Ash looked at himself. It was pretty easy to see why he didn't look like a King. Ash doesn't really present himself as one anyway. He's always wearing simple clothes after all.

"At best, you have the colours of the sea. Meanwhile, I truly look like a princess. Well, a modern princess to be exact. It's easy to see when looking at me, especially since my family has enough money that can make Royalty nervous."

"Is that how you were able to get in?" Rainbow Dash questioned, wondering if it was money that made Sharon get this spot as a Frontier Brain.

"Partially. And because I'm just that good." Sharon boasted. "I wanted to be a Frontier Brain for Equestria instantly. I didn't get the position of a Gym Leader, unfortunately. Even when Mother and Father offered so much money. This will have to do if I'm going to spread my name across Equestria."

"So it's just like Nessa," said Rainbow Dash, recognizing this as Nessa's goal. Both were striving for fame but one had more money to boost that fame.

"Well, I'm sure you're strong," Ash spoke, believing that Sharon was strong since she climbed the ladder of the World Championships. "No doubt about it."

"Obviously, I'm strong. And I hope I don't crush anyone's spirits when you take me on." Sharon flipped her hair. "As for the World Championships, by the time I get to a higher class, it'll be harder for you to get past me."

"That just makes me excited to battle you!" Ash was looking forward to that as that would mean he could battle against Sharon to see how strong she was.

"You can try. But your battle with Bea will mean nothing if you ever get to face me. The keyword being 'If'."

"You think you're too good for us?" Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust collectively said as Sharon's cockiness made them both agree on something for once.

"Not trying to be rude, but you're all still new to Pokemon Battling. 4 years of experience just isn't enough. This will be the hardest battle any of you have ever had. Nothing will come close." Sharon looked down on them.

"Now, now, Sharon. You shouldn't discourage them like this." Suddenly, someone else showed up at the Battle Frontier, attempting to de-escalate this before it gets out of hand. Sharon was talking big. Very big. Bigger than Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust combined. And the one to settle things down was seemingly another Frontier Brain.

"Oh. Are you another Frontier Brain?" Ash asked.

"I am. Sorry about Sharon here. Name's Luca, by the way." He introduced himself. "Sharon and I are the two Frontier Brains that were announced to show up today."

"Are you a celebrity too?" Rainbow Dash questioned, wondering if Lucien was also some sort of celebrity since it sounds like he knew Sharon.

"No, no." But he wasn't. It was only Sharon who held that title here. Neither was he incredibly rich. But since he was chosen as a Frontier Brain, it was obvious that he had plenty of strength instead.

"Hmph! Words like these are important, Luca." Sharon crossed her arms. "You don't want to get their hopes up too much. If you, it'll just crush them when they found out that they never stood a chance in the beginning. It's better to let them know what they're up against. Mother taught me that."

"Well, I See where you're coming from but...You don't have to be so harsh about it." Luca could agree with Sharon's viewpoint. He just wished it wasn't so harsh and discouraging for everypony.

"Don't you do the same with your sister from time to time?" She side-eyed him.

"Well, yeah. She's my sister and she's still young." Luca shrugged. "That's a good enough reason to encourage her."

"So, are we gonna battle right now or..." Rainbow Dash paused, expecting a battle.

"No, no. This is just the announcement. You'll just be meeting with us Frontier Brains and a rundown of what'll happen in there. It's still a carnival after all. The Battle Frontier won't truly begin until all 7 of us Frontier Brains are present and ready."

"The facilities are being tuned to benefit us," Sharon added. "You'll only get a tour and maybe figure out what to do when you're battling against one of us."

"Hmmm...Good enough for me. Let me see!" Rainbow Dash would take it. She could wait for a while until all 7 Frontier Brains show up. Seeing the inside of the Battle Frontier and how it adjusted to the Battle Carnival excited her. Everyone else wished to see it as well. They would all be invited into the Battle Frontier as the ones to tour them would be Luca, Sharon, and the employees.

Ponyville. Twilight's Castle.

Meanwhile, over at Twilight's Castle, Starswirl had taken in plenty of Pokemon Knowledge in just a few hours. Around him were many books he took from the bookshelves, going over all of them. And with this knowledge entering his head, he was now understanding what everypony in Equestria and beyond were dealing with.

"Unbelievable." He said while going over everything he's seen. "I already figured that they were capable of the most outlandish things because of Xerneas and Yveltal. But to think that all of them can perform stellar actions. Even the weakest eventually evolve into something greater."

Assessing everything he's seen, even the history of the Pokemon World and what was happened in the past, Starswirl concluded about his opinion on Pokemon. It was a staggering conclusion, one that he had to swallow.

"And apparently, Equestria has been gradually changing to fit the conditions of these creatures just so they can live here." Starswirl pondered. "And there exists a Pokemon above them all. All of this power is absurd. Even with spells that are very similar to what they can do, some of the more powerful ones require plenty of magical effort. These Pokemon are exceptionally powerful. For 4 years, things have gone relatively fine, but with Yveltal's destruction, I've seen a glimpse of what the can do."

While he concluded on the power of Pokemon, he wasn't sure what to truly make of them. Starswirl would still need some time to process everything there was to know. After all, he had only scratched the surface of these Strange and Wonderful Creatures. And he hasn't even gotten to work on making more gateways. The Pokemon were too intriguing to ignore. Far more than Cosmic Beings.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 198 End.
