My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Author's Note:

After this is straight to the Movie and then Season 8 Can truly begin.

Kalos. Anistar City. Afternoon.

Anistar City had been rebuilt by Xerneas. And just as Olympia said, the citizens of Anistar were safe and sound. They were still in one piece and lived to see another day. Showing up here were the Pokemon Rangers, looking over at the leftover damage That was mainly caused to the land. Xerneas' power could not heal this.

The damage shown had left behind an irreversible crater that was now residing next to Anistar City. And from that crater, dark magic was seeping out along with corrupted electricity. Even though the Black Crusade was over, massive scars had been left on the world.

"Well, even though Anistar's completely fine...There's nothing we can do about this." Jackie said, standing near the crater with Olympia. He and Olympia were wearing suits, making it clear that it was dangerous to be near this crater. "There's some magical radiation coming from it and that'll have some weird effects for sure."

"The houses nearby aren't safe to be in then. I'm not sure what can reverse this damage." Olympia replied. "The only possible way to fix this is for Zygarde to appear. I've already foreseen movement from it."

"Hm, true. I bet it's already on the move right now. Nothing we can do about this. The magic ran so deep that it spread past Anistar's vicinity. It's moved through most of Kalos and the Union said that it's latching onto other regions."

"Other regions will be exposed to this magic?" Olympia questioned.

"Sadly. Whatever was in that blast was something else." Jackie whistled. "We'll try what we can to stop that from happening. Hopefully, Zygarde shows up first. It's amazing how you're unscathed by that magic though."

"I have Princess Luna and Zekrom to thank for that. They protected me from something that not even Xerneas could reverse." Olympia smiled before looking over at the land beyond and how the scars were still visible. "For a moment, a majority of life had been snuffed out but we returned moments later. I never foresaw that and I certainly can't foresee anything else on this level."

"Hopefully, nothing tops this. Anyway, you can keep this suit. It'll keep you fully safe from this magical radiation. Made out of the same material powered through the dimensions the Jirachi were trapped in." Jackie would bid Olympia farewell, letting her and Anistar keep some of these suits. As for the land, travelling it wouldn't be as safe as it used to be thanks to the magic, until Zygarde shows up.

Whenever that may be.

Equestria. Ponyville. Twilight's Castle. Afternoon.

Starswirl had finished for the day when learning about Pokemon. All the books around him had been read but there was still more to read. But that was for another time, Probably tomorrow. He left the room, coming across Twilight who was feeding Espeon and Ninetales at the moment, perking up once she saw her idol show up.

"So? How did it go?" Twilight asked after Starswirl arrived. "I bet you learned everything you needed to know about Pokemon in minutes."

"Oh, I did. It was not what I expected though. You have been living with these creatures for 4 years?"

"And counting." Twilight squeed. "We still have a lot to learn about them. I'm learning more about my own Pokemon even to this day and it's just so much fun."

"They're powerful. Absurdly powerful. They threaten the very world they live in."

"Well, yeah...Some of them can even change the terrain itself just by walking around. It's amazing how their world has been so stable for centuries despite how many powerful Pokemon roam the world."

"Hm. Yes. I was thinking about that more than anything. A part of me wished to do something about them but I strayed away from that thought. If they know how to manage themselves despite their overwhelming power, then it is completely fine for them to stay around."

"Huh? You were going to send them away?

"I thought of it, but I did not go through with it. After what happened with Stygian, I've refrained from doing such a thing. After all, you and everypony have adjusted well to them. Plus, you have the Humans to help you. I'm honestly more surprised this never caused that much of a problem in the start. No political issues came up?"

"Uh. No?" Twilight shrugged. "It was a bit of a rocky start but everything simmered down in a few weeks. "We have Ash to thank for that."

"Even still, I know what I must do. To avoid an event similar to the Yveltal one, I'll be exploring this new world of ours. I still want to keep Equestria safe and with the Pokemon, some of the most nefarious beings will have greater access to fulfilling their plans.

"Oooh, you've got a point." Twilight nodded in approval.

"Because of the Pokemon, anything they wish to do can be done with a single Pokemon. I knew a terrifying being who would benefit from the Pokemon known as Gothitelle alone and nothing else. I have to prevent anypony from taking advantage of them. And that involves the lands beyond Equestria."

"I never considered those areas. It was our entire world that was met with the Pokemon. Not just Equestria."

"Well, right now, as we speak, someone has probably found the advantages to having a Pokemon. It sounds like your story is only limited to Equestria. The lands beyond probably have zero human contact so they have no guidance at all."

"I didn't even think about that!" Twilight screeched, realizing how crucial that could be, putting her hooves on her head. No one else had considered the other lands even before the two worlds merged as one. Who knows what kind of nefarious individuals are utilizing the destructive power of Pokemon at this very moment?"

"Things seem to be fine here. But I have to see what is happening beyond Equestria. Before that, I have to keep my promise and help you with your gateway issue. Now, I understand they're made up of Rift Energy."

"Mhm. I have Rift Magic in me. I emptied out my own magic, making myself a vessel for Rift Magic. But I still can't summon a gateway, sadly." Twilight pouted.

"Then I will use that one gateway here at Ponyville as an example to make more. It will take some time when it comes to cosmic powers."

"Then, you'll probably need the Rift Cauldron. It's pretty nifty and useful when we need it." Twilight would offer up to the Rift Cauldron for Starswirl to use. She desperately wanted the gateways to return. To see them return would be wonderful for everyone.

After all, there was no shame in wanting an easier way to travel.

Starswirl would get to work. His work was never done even after leaving Limbo. As for Twilight, she would simply wait, living her best life. She certainly needed to live her best life after what had just happened. She couldn't imagine what could be worse than the Black Crusade. And the way she wanted to live her best life was with all of her friends.

1 Day Later. Canterlot.

Another day had passed. The world was still healing after the Black Crusade and nd to make sure it would heal was the Ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia.

Speaking of Princess Celestia, currently, she had her newest Pokemon out in the open. None other than the Vast White Pokemon Reshiram. After the Black Crusade, Celestia and Reshiram have formed a powerful new bond. And the same went for Luna and Zekrom. The Royal Sisters now had two powerful Dragons as their Pokemon who were casually resting next to Canterlot Castle.

Now, anyone approaching Canterlot would be met with two Dragons that were almost the size of the castle. If combined, they would be far taller than it without a doubt. But the Twin Dragons being here gave Canterlot a greater sense of importance. It was already important enough but Reshiram and Zekrom added to that. Anyone who would dare try and attack Canterlot Castle would be met with these two Top Tier Titans.

"Wait, Premium! You survived Yveltal's wave of destruction?! How!?" But something shocking had met Celestia's ears after what the little filly Premium Polish said.

"I'm still an android. Or...a robot? Cyborg? I forgot which one I am." Premium Polish squeed.

"Android. I suppose it would make sense for you to survive. But the Golurk are Automatons and yet they were taken out. I suppose there's a clear difference between an Automaton and a Robot. Not like I know much about them both anyway."

"It was so scary...Everyone just turned to stone and I felt something creepy move through me." She shuddered, recalling the experience very clearly. "But once I saw them turn back, I knew you had something to do with it."

"Oh, it was Xerneas that we have to thank. That was without a doubt a close-call. I'm just glad you're safe. Even though you survived, the Dread League would've come for you. From now on, I will do everything in my power to make sure something like that doesn't happen again."

"Sweet! So does that mean you'll get out there and stop more villains!"

"Well, I'm not going to actively seek them out like a Madmare." Celestia chuckled. "I just have to be aware of other lands out there. There is a lot we haven't discovered just yet, Premium. Pegalysium and Magehold were just scratching the face. From now on, any nation we see, we must be careful." Celestia said with confidence and high authority in her eyes and voice. She would be aware of the future when coming across other lands.

The lands beyond were still unknown as she and Starswirl had something similar in mind. It was all thanks to Magehold that this ambition came to them.

"Now. Let's make sure things are fine for the upcoming party." Despite all of that, a party will be held. The celebration of the world's victory against the Black Crusade was not over yet. Not without a party which would be held here in Canterlot.

---

Magehold.

Magehold. The evil permeating here had been wiped out. All thanks to Fantina, who was now the Lich Queen. The first ever Human Lich Queen while also being the creator of a new form of Lich Magic that has never existed before. Magehold would be led in the right direction by Fantina, who was planning to pass on this title to someone else. Someday.

Fantina was not here at the moment, however. She was currently at Hearthome City now that her memories were back. But even with Fantina gone, the vampires who were not a part of the Dread League conversed with each other about this new direction in life. They chose Fantina as the new Lich Queen, favouring her greatly compared to the others.

"So...With the cycle gone, what now, Father? What of the spirits and souls that have been collected by the previous Lich Rulers in the past?" Dimstar asked Fractured Note who was originally known as King Grevyine. The First Lich King.

"I'm positive the previous Lich Rulers are at peace now, much like the souls. As for the Skeletons, their bodies should drop and return the souls as well." Fractured Note replied.

"What about me though? I'm still a Lich. Half, anyway. The same goes for my sister. Will we be fine?" Opal was the source of it all. Not you all. You will be fine, I promise. I can trust Fantina to lead Magehold down the right path. And once she passes the crown, the bright future we're looking for will be waiting. It all depends on how things go. "But all of this damage might'v'e alerted them."

"Who?"

"As a Lich, I know about some other species that don't exactly appear here in our world. They certainly won't show up at Mageold unless needed." Fractured Note said. "They live above us and this will surely garner a reaction from them. Other beings were apparently above him and only he knew. As a species that was the closest to the Primordial Magic, Fractured Note knows what these beings were and more importantly...

What they were capable of.

Deerling Forest.

But a majority of everyone would love to put that behind them as soon as possible. And some of them were over at Deerling Forest, relaxing with the Deerling. Twilight had brought her friends along to Deerling Forest, wanting to spend some time with them now that the Black Crusade debacle is over. It felt great being around her friends without worrying about something dreadful showing up.

They had a picnic over at Deerling Forest, indulging in food that they haven't had in a while. The Black Crusade left them all starving for something. They were even kind enough to share with the Deerling, Sawsbuck and other Pokemon that lived here. They deserved the picnic meal too since the destruction wave obviously got it. Very many managed to survive.

Ash laid on his back, taking in the Equestria Sun in all of its glory. Meanwhile, her Pokemon and her friend's Pokemon would start playing around with the Deerling as the peaceful skills blessed me with a chance to spout what has happened since then.

This wasn't even related to the party that's coming to see but it was nice to feel. The soft and tender grass below them along with the clear and smooth air.

"The inside of that Battle Frontier gets me pretty psyched." Meanwhile, Ash expressed his wonder about the Battle Frontier that had been created recently,

"I can't wait to take them on. I'll win the Battle Frontier and then it's one step closer to becoming Equestria's Champion!" Rainbow Dash stood up with high energy, determined to win.

"You do have high gusto for this." Rarity said. I'd be careful of that Sharon girl though. You never know what the rich types are hiding."

"For now, let's enjoy this," Starlight said, lying on a lake as a group of Ducklett swam up to her. Starlight closed her eyes as her partner Clobbopus was on her chance, splashing around in the water. Fluttershy would also close her eyes, sitting next to a tree as many of the Deerling gathered around her. She was still tuckered out. Some of them still needed some rest.

Deerling Forest was the best place to rest since it was so peaceful. And the Deerling would most definitely consider them and leave them be. The wind blew peacefully in this new world. It felt rather new now that a massive threat had been taken out.

Ever since the two worlds merged to create a Grander World, the opportunity to fully explore had been robbed thanks to the Dread League. It felt like there was no peace at all. But now that they've been defeated, peace can be known once more and it was absolutely blissful.

But even with this peaceful environment, Twilight couldn't help but think about what Starswirl the Bearded said.

"Well, right now, as we speak, someone has probably found the advantages to having a Pokemon. It sounds like your story is only limited to Equestria. The lands beyond probably have zero human contact so they have no guidance at all."

"That's a scary thought...but I'd rather not think about it." Twilight closed her eyes, slowly tilting her head as it landed on Absol's fur. Absol stayed still, allowing Twilight to gently rest on him. He wouldn't mind at all.

Celestia and Starswirl were thinking of the land ahead. And there was also someone who had the wider lands beyond on his mind. None other than Ash Ketchum. He enjoyed peace but was also up for an adventure. But now, Ash had something else in mind. He also wanted to know was beyond Equestria. But no matter what it be may, Ash would find something worthwhile. He always does.

However, just as Starswirl said, someone would be after the Pokemon. And already, that seemed to be the case. The Pony by the name of Tempest Shadow was on the move. Under the orders of a being by the name of the Storm King, All the while, Zygarde was on the move.

After the damage that had been done to it, how could it not start moving. It was unknown to many how much of Zygarde had been recovered.d They were hoping it was enough to repair this damaged land. But to Ash, he had a good hunch. The Final Member of the Aura trio had to show up after the climax and fix what has been lost.

This moment of peace still existed strongly within Equestria. The beautiful sounds were already putting Ash to see. Very soon, the soothing air would put others to sleep, allowing them to rest easy. They certainly needed to rest easy.

Whatever lies beyond, they would be ready. Near or far, they would be ready. No matter what it may be. But right now, they weren't worried about such a thing. After Xerneas restored nature, Deerling Forest went through some changes too. Its leaves were as dominated by juniper and other colours that would cast a shade over them.

Their leaves and branches allowed for just enough light to pass down for colourful mushrooms to monopolize the crunchy layer of leaves below. Swooping branches suspended from many trees, and an array of flowers, which were seen occasionally, looked almost out of place in the otherwise amber view. A variation of Pokemon which were caused by Flying-Types echoed in the air, and almost completely muffled the sounds of several Pikipeks in the distance. Another variation of noises, which were caused by the Bug-Type Pokemon filled the air, adding to that serenity.

They all wanted to protect this serenity. Something like this just couldn't leave them no matter what. And right now, they just wished to bask in it.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 199 End.

"Hm. Sim. Eu estava pensando sobre isso mais do que qualquer coisa. Uma parte de mim queria fazer algo sobre eles, mas eu me afastei desse pensamento. Se eles sabem como se controlar apesar de seu poder esmagador, então é completamente bom para que eles fiquem por perto."

Whew....
