My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Proving Herself

Galar. The Wild Area. Afternoon.

The search for Alpha Lopunny continues over at Galar's Wild Area. Two sides were currently at the Wild Area with different intentions in mind. Ash's group and J's group. Hunter J's Airship stayed invisible, concealing herself from many.

A tip that Sci-Twi received from Sunset Shimmer was that Alpha Lopunny could most likely be in an area where few Pokemon can be found mainly due to how territorial and hostile Alpha Pokemon are. No other Pokemon would bother being next to them because of their aggression.

But even with this search, they took the time to enjoy themselves. At the moment, Rainbow Dash, who had also sent Braviary out to search from above, was fishing for Pokemon. In her human form, she could finally wide and Fishing Rod as she sat at North Lake Miloch. The northern portion of Lake Miloch, plus the land area north of the lake and south of the river.

"Oh!" When fishing, she felt something tug on the rod. "I've got something!"

"Nice! Reel it in, Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, cheering on her friend. Whatever this Pokemon was, it was certainly forcing her to add some oomph to her arms.

"I've...Got you!" With all of her strength, Rainbow Dash managed to reel in the Pokemon that got a strong bite on the rod. She expected it to be a huge Pokemon. Instead, it was a school of Basculin that were each biting onto each other's tails. That explained the weight that Rainbow Dash felt. "Eh?"

"Basculin!" The Basculin collectively unleashed streams of water from their mouths once they separated, attacking Rainbow Dash. Rainbow found herself being splashed in the face by multiple Water Guns.

"Ugh..." Rainbow Dash groaned as her head and face were now all wet. The Basuclin would then laugh before dropping back into the water. Rainbow Dash then growled, shaking all the water off her head before vigorously shaking her fist at the School of Basculin. "Laugh now! I'll get my payback on you for sure!"

"You're not gonna see them again, Dash." Pinkie placed her hand on Rainbow Dash's shoulder, suggesting to let it go. Rainbow Dash's reasoning for fishing was tied to her current mission to catch more Pokemon. The Final Gym Battle was within her sights after all.

Meanwhile, Ash was with Twilight and Sunset, located over at West Lake Axewell. One of the many subareas in the Wild Area just like North Lake Miloch. The western half of another known Lake Axewell, plus the bridge across its narrowest point and the land north of the bridge. And while searching for Lopunny, they were surrounded by various small Pokemon.

Pancham, Joltik, Natu, Bounsweet, Bounsweet, Vulpix, Growlithe and so many other Pokemon were around them as the cuteness factor certainly hit Twilight and Sunset, making them screech. Meanwhile, Ash simply laughed when they surrounded him and Pikachu from all sides.

"Okay, you guys! That tickles!" Ash chuckled as the plethora of small Pokemon against his body was enough to make him ticklish. The same went for Pikachu who was bombarded by them.

"Pika! Pikachu!"

"So cute! This isn't as dangerous as Professor Oak made it out to be!" Twilight squealed while hugging as many small Pokemon as she could. Her partner, Alpha Pikachu was in the same boat as Ash's Pikachu, who was his many-great-grandson.

"I know right?!" Sunset Shimmer agreed. "We should come here more often? And it's this expansive?"

Wanting to capture this moment, Sci-Twi would take out her phone for a picture. She would adjust herself, focusing on her face and mostly the little Pokemon that were around her. All the Pokemon weren't sure what they were looking at but the fact that they were all gazing into the camera was just what Twilight needed. And joining this photo via a Photobomb were Ash, Pikachu and Sunset.

"That reminds me...This is a perfect chance to let them all out!" Sci-Twi would then hold out all of her Poke Balls. By throwing them all upwards, the rest of her Alpha Pokemon would emerge. Alpha Rapidash, Luxio, Munchlax and Heracross.

Upon arriving, Rapidash would immediately asses the area. For a Pokemon who loves running, the scenery is what truly mattered and nothing else since she needed to know how far she could run.

"See? Look at how vast this place is Rapidash." Sci-Twi showed off the Wild Area to the Fire Horse Pokemon. And the size of it wasn't something to scoff at. Granted, Sci-Twi had no idea what Rapidash's original home looked like but this was certainly large enough to roam around. "I promised you. So go ahead, Rapidash. It's all yours."

"Rapidash!" Bingo. Rapidash already loved what she was seeing. With a strong neigh, the Fire-Type took off, galloping to her heart's content. Twilight put on a proud smile. It was rare for Rapidash to listen to her but now, she's grown closer to the Alpha Pokemon to a point where something like this was possible. Luxio and the others would simply stay next to Twilight instead of roaming the Wild Area, choosing to converse with the other Pokemon here.

"Braviary!" Up in the skies, Braviary would cry out, grabbing the attention of everyone below.

"Oh? Did you find Lopunny, Braviary?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed once she heard Braviary's cry. Braviary nodded his head in confirmation before then soaring off. All they had to do now was follow Braviary and they could find Alpha Lopunny. Ash and the others bid farewell to the Wild Pokemon here but not before Twilight left them some treats.

However, J was also on the move. And with her gadgets, she had her own way of searching for Alpha Lopunny. By now, she had left the airship, going undetected thanks to the invisibility feature.

Hunter J, along with a few of her men, showed up the Giant's Cap. An inclined area that stretches along the eastern edge of the North Wild Area. Searching for Alpha Lopunny, they wanted to stay away from Ash at all costs. But at the same time, getting rid of Sci-Twi and taking all of her Alpha Pokemon was another objective. And thanks to the Desire of Princess Twilight that was still within J, all of Sci-Twi's weaknesses were free to exploit.

"It's still technically winter, isn't it?" Hunter J said before holding out her Protean Vambrace. "We'll lose them in the snowstorm." By using the Protean Vambrace, she selected the Ice-Type. Out of it, a light blue beam shot out, going straight for the clouds.

The beam of concentrated Infinity Energy touched a group of clouds, stopping there. The extent of the Protean Vambrace's potential had been shown yet again. The energy from the beam would affect the group of clouds with the Ice-Type Infinity Energy within it as the weather was being altered.

Hunter J had changed the weather, shifting from a sunny blue experience to a soon-to-be furious snowstorm. The clouds started gathering with the temperature rapidly dropping. Braviary, who was leading the way, immediately felt this change in the weather. As a Flying-Type, how could he ignore this?

"Braviary?" The Valiant Pokemon looked up, seeing all the clouds suddenly gather. All other Flying-Types took notice as well, slowing down immediately.

"It's getting chilly all of a sudden, isn't it?" Sci-Twi pointed out, holding her arms for warmth. But that wouldn't matter as the cold was only going to start growing. Soon, the Sun was starting to be blocked out by the amassing clouds.

"Yeah...It wasn't like this before." Sunset Shimmer noticed.

"Pika..." Pikachu looked up as his tail started moving back and forth. A bad feeling was bestowed onto his senses once he looked up. And instantly, without even having the time to finish a full-build up, the snow exploded unexpectedly.

A snowstorm had been brought on, immediately summoning a strong wind pressure as millions of snowdrops would descend from the clouds. Braviary and all Flying-Types would be the first to suffer from this as their wings were hit by the rapid bombardment of snow. Their momentum had been cut off as other Pokemon would be jump-scared, scattering at this noise.

"It definitely wasn't like this before!" Rainbow Dash yelled, groaning with everyone once the snowstorm appeared. "What's going on!? Snowstorms don't show up this fast!" And Rainbow Dash should know.

"Is this a Pokemon doing this?!" Ash had to wonder if this was by the power of a Pokemon. It would only add up since they were powerful enough to start instant snowstorms. Little did they all know, while this was the result of Infinity Energy, it certainly wasn't a Pokemon that was behind this.

"I-I-I'm starting to freeze here!" Pinkie Pie shuddered along with Mew as both of them started to gyrate from the decreasing temperature.

"Ah! Braviary!" Rainbow Dash gasped, soon noticing Braviary drop from above. He couldn't handle all of this snow as it was not safe for a Flying-Type to be in the midst of this. "Return!" She would return Braviary as that was the best option at the moment.

"It's too cold for you all...Return!" Twilight returned Luxio and the others to their Poke Balls aside from Pikachu. Noticeably, Rapidash hadn't returned yet. Mainly because she was still galloping around in the Wild Area freely and most likely, she had noticed the snowstorm. Who hasn't?

"Here, wear these!" Ash quickly dug into his bag, taking out the necessary objects to shield his friends from this rising snowstorm. "I've only got two so...here you go!" Ash suddenly took out two jackets, holding them out to his friends.
Specifically, it ended up being his Sinnoh Jacket that he would only wear during cold instances. It was certainly large enough to fit everyone too. Unfortunately, since he had only two, he couldn't give more to all of them.

"You carry two jackets with you?" A shivering Sunset Shimmer said with visible confusion in her face and tone.

"Always carry two of everything, just in case. But I guess I should've brought two more, right?" Ash said as Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer would take the jackets.

"Thanks anyway, Ash..." Sci-Twi sighed after putting on Ash's jacket. However, even after both of them wore the jackets, it wasn't enough. J made sure this was a powerful snowstorm that would sense an unrelenting chill onto them all.

"We need heat...Come out! All of you!" Thankfully, since she was the Fire-Type Gym Leader of Equestria, Sunset Shimmer had blazing allies on her side. Specifically, Braxien, Volcarona and Fletchinder. With all three Poke Balls being held out, all Sunset needed to do was throw them.

However, the snowstorm worsened. Not only did it keep on coming, but all this snow would eventually start masking the scenery. The beautiful lush and green parts of the Wild Area would be covered in a white sheet, freezing over the grass. But it was only for a few small areas. As for J, she kept the energy coming before finally lowering her arm. The Protean Vambrace had done its job, starting up this snowstorm.

"I can't see anything here!" Pinkie Pie had her vision obscured. Everyone did. It became increasingly difficult to see anything at all. Just what J wanted. And more importantly, she wanted them all separated from Sci-Twi. Especially Ash. The pressure of this snowstorm would push some of them away along with the sheet of snow that would pile up to create a physical force.

The snowstorm would then reach its zenith, blanketing everything in its way with snow to the point where there was nothing but white. Sci-Twi's ears could only hear the violent sound of the cold wind blowing vigorously and not the voices of her friends at all. All she could do now was close her eyes and hope to power through it.

---

Eventually, the vicious snowstorm ended. Or rather, the intensity of it had died down. It was still strong but now it was at a point where no one would have their vision obscured. Sci-Twi could finally open her eyes, seeing clearly. Alpha Pikachu held onto the leg of her trainer, still shivering as he didn't have anything warm around him.

"Ash..? Sunset?" Twilight cried out their names as she would soon notice the disappearance of her friends. The moment the snowstorm ended, they were gone. Her head navigated the area, only to find no sign of them in this snow-covered area. "W-Where are they?"

"Pikachu?!" Alpha Pikachu called out for his Many-Great-Grandson, hoping to hear a response from him.

"There you are." A voice cried out, alerting Twilight. She was hoping that it was one of her friends who ended up finding her after the snowstorm had ended. But that voice was not friendly. Through the snow, a beam would fly out, targeting the counterpart to Princess Twilight Sparkle.

"Pikachu!" Instinctively, Pikachu pushed Sci-Twi out of the way in time, using the full weight of his body to do so, tackling her leg. Sci-Twi grunted from that but it was for the better as she just managed to witness the beam pass by her. Sci-Twi dropped on the snow with Pikachu saving her life from a horrible fate.

"Thanks, Pikachu. But that beam...She can't be here now, can she?!"

"Oh, I missed my shot." Moving through the snow with a wave of fire was none other than Pokemon Hunter J. She used the Fire Infinity Energy to warm herself, creating a constant ring of fire behind her as if she had a halo.

"J?!" Twilight Sparkle gasped upon seeing the Pokemon Hunter emerge.

"Pika...!"

"Worked like a charm. I have you all to myself, girl." J said with the most devious look on her face. "It's been a while, hasn't it, brat? How goes things? Especially our shared goal."

"I don't want to share any goal with you." Sci-Twi stood back up, still shivering from all the snow and the decreased temperature that J created. "But you...You did this?"

"I certainly did. Your friends aren't around because of me. A controlled Snowstorm is the best kind of snowstorm when you can choose what happens with it." J showed off her Protean Vambrace. "As you can see, I've received some upgrades these past months. What have you been doing exactly while I rack up Alpha Pokemon?"

"I..." Sci-Twi didn't have a strong answer for that. Realistically, she hasn't been doing much. Neither did she have that many Alpha Pokemon. The most recent was Heracross and he was caught during the Pokemon Festival.

"Ah. Not that many? Hahahaha!" J laughed at Sci-Twi's failure to keep up with her. "Are you kidding? I've been on a spree, using the best of my abilities to catch as many Alpha Pokemon! Were you just lounging around? And here I thought you wanted to help them so much."

"I do! And I'll free them all from you!" Sci-Twi yelled back at J.

"As if. I'll take Alpha Lopunny for myself. And of course...your Alpha Pokemon as well." J pointed at Sci-Twi, declaring that she would capture her Alpha Pokemon. "Our reunion will be our last one once I've taken them off your hands. I'll make sure you never go for the Alpha Pokemon ever again. A young girl like you should stay out of this."

"I'm not staying out this...!" Sci-Twi rejected. "I made a promise and I won't let you ruin that for me. Not when I'm finally finding myself."

"Finding yourself? Oh, right. You still have a glaring weakness. That's fine." J shrugged. "It just proves that you're incapable of seeing this all the way through."

"I'm fully capable! And to prove it, I'll defeat you here and now, J!"

"You? Beat me?" J scoffed at that declaration. "As far as things go, you're still just a novice, brat! Don't get too cocky." Hunter J would then take out a Great Ball from her jacket pocket. "You only got lucky the last time because of that Rapidash. But not this time."

"Call me a novice if you want." Sci-Twi gulped before adjusting her glasses. "I can't turn back now." A Pokemon Battle between Hunter J and Sci-Twi was about to ensue. And the stakes were certainly high for Twilight.

"Oh...I'm going to have fun crushing your spirit. Then you and by extension, your world, will learn never to touch Pokemon ever again." Hunter J was looking forward to that very reason. She planned to utterly crush Sci-Twi's spirit in every possible way. And taking her Pokemon was one of those ways.

As for Ash and the others, thanks to J's controlled snowstorm, they found themselves elsewhere in the Wild Area. The Hammerlocke Hills is where they ended up, far away from Sci-Twi at this point. But they weren't at the Hammerlocke Hills, they were almost buried in the snow thanks to what J had done.

Ash sat up from the snow pile along with everyone else, still feeling bewildered by what had just happened. "Ugh...Twilight?" Ash would notice that not all of his friends were present as the snow kept blowing. Twilight was exempt from his sight. but of course, knowing how threatening Ash can be, J didn't stop at just bewildering him with a snowstorm.

"Look there!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed. Hunter J's men had also shown up at the Wild Area to not only capture rare Pokemon but also block Ash and his friends from reaching Sci-Twi. J wanted the counterpart all to herself after all. They showed up past the mask of snow, menacingly approaching with creepy looks on their faces. A stunned Pinkie Pie hadn't yet noticed them until Rainbow Dash shook her senses back.

And yet, the Alpha Lopunny hasn't been found yet. And in this snowstorm, much like most Pokemon, Lopunny was on the move. The search for Alpha Lopunny was not over yet with the risk of other Alpha Pokemon being taken away heavily on the line.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 31 End.

They encounter each other once more.

Hopefully Ash and the others will be able to make it to Sci-Twi while she holds her own against J

[cutting clouds]

I'm imagining the scene

chancellor neighsay was talking about how pokemons are "destructible and dangerous"

but then celestia appears saying "so. is that what you think of them?" with passion behind her.

if chancellor knew that celestia has a pokemon. and was extremely close to him. he would shut up

by the way. if now we have
humans along with ponies and other creatures. I'm not expecting a very positive opinion from him about ash, max(possibly) and the other humans.

great. now i want to see max with the young 6
