My Little Pokémon: Grander World

by Amarvax

Harmony born from Evil

Another Universe. Hunter J's new hideout. Day.

Passing through a gateway that existed inside of Nadya's fridge, Daybreaker's group showed up to meet with Hunter J's group. Her hideout was located here at another destroyed area that involves Prisma. The remains and the leftovers were used to form a new Pokemon Black Market. One that was hidden in this lost universe.

But while discussing further plans with Hunter J, Gardevoir encountered a peculiar Aura she had never experienced before. While she did gain an added extra lifespan, this Aura had another effect. Inside of her head, a voice that resembled that Twilight's spoke to her. It had two requests that contradicted with what Gardevoir wanted.

To return the Aura that she stole and to defeat Daybreaker's group. Whoever this was, she was already aware of Daybreaker and Second Wind.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Second Wind stepped forward, seeing this as a betrayal. "I should've known one of them would've turned on us, but I didn't think it'd be Gardevoir."

"Wait." Daybreaker halted Second Wind. "She's obviously not doing this willingly. Someone is influencing her. These aren't her own movements."

"Is there an intruder in here already?!" J frantically looked around. She feared that this whole business might already be compromised. Hearing this, the people of the Pokemon Black Market were also beginning to panic.

"Calm down. There isn't an intruder, technically." Speaking to J was Twilight's Desire. And she already had an inkling as to who this was. Gardevoir wasn't the only one with a voice speaking to her from within after all.

"Get out of my head! Who are you?!" Gardevoir furiously bellowed, holding her own head. But doing that was no use. Ironically, the Psychic-Type wasn't sure how to deal with this issue at all. If only she could return to the realm of the Delayd Aura Ataxia once more.

Her arms were vigorously trembling as they were aimed directly at Daybreaker and Second Wind. The voice inside her wanted to get rid of the biggest threats here. Surprisingly, Gardevoir wasn't willing to do so, despite having her own motives.

Looking into Gardevoir was Daybreaker, who used a spell that allowed her to see the spiritual essence of someone's body. Gardevoir's Psychic and Fairy Energy was seen by Daybeaker as well as the Aura she had stolen. The Aura was as large as her Psychic and Fairy Energy, showing just how much she's gathered just to have a longer lifespan. But there was a fourth energy.

The strange Aura that Gardevoir absorbed had a different colour compared to the regular Aura. Instead of the Azure Blue, it had a Purple colour to it with magenta highlights. Within that aura, the silhouette of a pony could be seen. Daybreaker saw that the silhouette strongly resembled Twilight. More specifically, Empress Twilight, who was the same height as her. But it clearly wasn't her. The magical presence was vastly different.

"Twilight?" Daybreaker uttered. "No...It isn't the same as Twilight. Or Universe One's." Unsure of what to make of this, Daybreaker would come back to it eventually. First, she had to try and free Gardevoir before she ruins everything. "Well, all we need to do is get into her mind and force whatever's in her out."

"I can handle that. Unown!" Second Wind ordered.

"Unown!" The Unown around Second Wind flew forward. With their mystical power, they managed to send an enigmatic force towards Gardevoir. The Embrace Pokemon had her body attacked by this mystical force. This allowed Daybreaker and the others to see directly into Gardevoir's mind.

"I'm going in. While I'm busy in there, I need you all to continue working on the gateway here." Daybreaker would be the one to enter her mind. She did have experience with this after all. The alicorn travelled through the energy of the Unown while also being followed by some of her troops.

Gardevoir's Mindscape.

Ever since Gardevoir was defeated by Ash's group in her own realm, her mind has certainly gone through some changes. She could no longer enter that realm. Instead, much like everyone else, she was limited to her mindscape this time instead of 18 different realms.

As for what it ended up being this time, it focused on the one place she remembers the most. The old town she used to live in prior to moving. This was the one place Gardevoir cherished closely to her. Everywhere else was irrelevant and only served as a means to her Aura goal.

Already, Gardevoir was dealing with this intruder as she could be seen sliding back. Standing before her was this mass of Magic and Aura that was violently floating around. The Embrace Pokemon was pushed back, perplexed by what she was facing.

"Who do you think you are, infiltrating my mind like this?!" Gardevoir growled at the Magical Mass. Despite being a mass of magic, it still had a voice. Twilight's voice.

"I was hoping I'd come across someone else...Not someone like you." The voice spoke, causing the mass to pulsate each time. "But I have no choice either way. You'll have to do."

"What are you talking about? Are you Twilight? You sure sound a lot like her.."

"My name is Twilight Luminaria. And I urgently need to free myself." She was indeed Twilight, but not the Twilight that everyone else knew about. Neither Sparkle, Sci-Twi, Wish, Empress or Moonlight. This was the mysterious Twilight Luminaria who was apparently supposed to be the opposite of Prisma.

"Well then, get out of my head! As if I'll be your vessel!" Gardevoir yelled, holding her arm out as she unleashed Dark Pulse. The darkness flew over, only to be caught by a force of magic. The magic dispersed the darkness, sending dark sparkles all over te place.

"Apologies. I have no other choice. At this very moment, Prisma could be close to reviving and I am too disconnected from my other halves."

"What is that thing...?" Descending into this Mindscape was Daybreaker, who gazed upon this Magical Mass of Twilight Luminaria. At this moment, she was merely mass and nothing more. She did not have a physical body or even a spiritual essence to show off. This was all that she had.

"Even though I wish to reach Prisma, I have to at least stop your plans while I'm at it. I can't ignore them at all." Twilight Luminaria's voice continued. Despite being a mass, she still had the power to show off. Enough power to contest with the Aura Vampire Gardevoir.

"You can try and-" But before Gardevoir could say anything else, she was swiftly frozen in place. Twilight Luminaria was serious about using her as a vessel, even if she didn't wish to do so. In her eyes, it was the only way since she was aware of Prisma being potentially revived as well.

But interrupting this was Daybreaker. She used her own magic to counteract Twilight Luminaria's, allowing Gardevoir to move once more. The Embrace Pokemon panted, feeling stunned and staggered after that interaction.

"So much for being a Psychic-Type." Daybreaker stood next to Gardevoir, having Necrozma's Poke Ball available.

"Hah...She caught me by surprise, that's all...And besides, if I still had a majority of my Aura, I wouldn't be struggling at all." She held her arm.

"I take it you aren't on our side. What a shame...Just by looking at your magical structure, I can tell you harbour plenty of magical power. Since you're another Twilight, that's to be expected." Daybreaker added. "You would make such a great addition to our team. But it seems we have to get rid of you."

"You can't get rid of me. You're only facing a mass of myself after all."

"But of course...It's the other Twilights we have to worry about." Daybreaker already knew that the other Twilights were mainly keeping Twilight Luminaria around. As long as they were around, so was Luminaria. "Either way, you probably have plenty of light energy within you. Perfect for Necrozma."

"Not here. My magic hasn't just gained control over Gardevoir's body, but I've already made it my domain. I've had enough time to build it up and you're too late." Right on time, the area around Gardevoir and Daybreaker was morphing.

The scenery was changing, removing the ancient town. Instead, it was changing into something that was meant to complement Twilight Luminaria. Her own domain where she would have a grand advantage. Daybreaker and Gardevoir soon witnessed another location of this lost universe.

Before their eyes, a palace erupted from the ground. The palace had an opulent marble structure, with tall pillars supporting a grand archway entrance and a glistening crystal chandelier hanging from the high ceiling. The air is thick with the scent of exotic perfumes that attacked their senses. A breathtaking mural of a magnificent city sprawls across the entire ceiling, depicting intricate golden spires and radiant starry skies.

This was Twilight Luminaria's Place. At least, one part of it. It was absolutely colossal, taking up the rest of Gardevoir's Mindscape. It was so large, it might as well be its own city.

"I'll try and shatter it then!" Attempting to break this domain apart, Daybreaker unleashed a magnificent flash of magic from her horn that was also massive. However, she was soon hit with a counter.

The magic in this area was brimming with absolute power. Daybreaker's magic suddenly gained afterimages before being pushed back. The Solar Queen gasped as this wasn't all that the brimming magic did. It had another effect. After pushing her magic back, it ended up turning the full weight of it against Daybreaker. The Solar Queen felt herself being pushed into the ground by a strong pressure. It was her own pressure.

Her hooves dug into the ground, but she managed to retain her balance. Gardevoir was soon pushed down as she was already losing so much control at this point. She looked up at the Mass of Twilight Luminaria with her blazing eyes, doing her best to stay up while still taking the full force of her own magical flash.

"In here, even in your own mind, I have the superior power. My magic is far beyond yours." Twilight Luminaria declared as her voice echoed across the Mindscape. The mass that she appeared as would also grow, showing off the Aura within. Daybreaker certainly found herself in a surprising predicament. Her plans were promptly halted all because of Gardevoir being greedy.

---

As for the real world, Gardevoir lost control and was immediately overtaken by Twilight Luminaria. Now that she had full control at the moment, she could take action. Gardevoir's eyes were glowing purple this time, signifying Luminaria's control.

"This will work. I can use this to try and stop Prisma's revival." Gardevoir, who was actually Twilight Luminaria spoke. She then turned to see all the troops of Daybreaker and Second Wind holding their weapons up against her. While she wished to put a stop to the Pokemon Black Market, she knew she didn't have the time. There were too many opponents here and there was a chance she could lose Gardevoir if they manage to defeat her.

"The other way to free her is by knocking her out, right? Easy enough for us." J said it herself. Knockout was another method of breaking mind control or anything related to it.

"I can't stay here...I'm sorry, all of you." Gardevoir looked over at the Riolu and all the other Pokemon that have been captured. She wished to save them, but alas, that was impossible for now Taking action and continuing on her mission, she used the power of Gardevoir to immediately teleport.

"After her! She'll ruin everything!" Second Wind ordered her troops and the Unown. Immediately, the Unown and the troops from both sides were on the move. However, some of the Unown had other tasks. Mainly for the gateway. "The rest of you! Deal with this gateway. Move it or duplicate it. As if we're using some little girl's home as our extra base of operations."

Gardevoir ended up outside, but was instantly met with the Unown. They had the power to teleport as well but with extra efficiency when working together. Gardevoir looked up to see all of the Unown above her.

With their combined power, they formed a dome around the area, preventing Gardevoir from going any further. The Embrace Pokemon tried teleporting out, only to be shut down. This dome was made to lock any form of teleportation. After blocking her teleportation and trapping her in, the Unown then unleashed rays from the dome which started raining down. However, while she couldn't teleport, she had a backup.

Twilight Luminaria's own magic. By tapping into the magic she managed to obtain ever since Gardevoir absorbed the Aura, a beautiful purple energy emanated from her body. It allowed her to block the incoming rays, negating any damage. This was a combination of Aura and Magic, making up for the locked power.

The Magical Aura then expanded, blowing away the dome bits of the dome as well as some of the Unown. Gardevoir then ascended, finding a hole in the dome to fly out of. After breaking free, she was instantly met with more Unown who used their power to form a wall of storms.

The Embrace Pokemon gasped as this Storm Wall created a strong pressure which forced her back. She managed to recover by using her magic to manipulate the ground. Lifting up the desecrated ground, she made a smooth surface to land on. Gardevoir then looked ahead to see the gateway here being grabbed. This was her ticket out of here and the Unown used their amazing power on it to make a quick change.

They could not duplicate it, but what they could do was move it elsewhere. It was Second Wind who wanted to change the location of this gateway. Since this Pokemon Black Market was housing valuable items and was even shielded from others who were her enemies, it would only make sense to put it somewhere more favourable than Nadya's home.

Refusing to let that happen, Gardevoir used a grander version of Psychic. This was all thanks to Twilight Luminaria's Magical Aura. It didn't just act as an extra form of power, it also boosted Gardevoir's natural abilities. By generating a Psychic Hold, Gardevoir was able to grab each of the Unown from a great distance. The Unown that affected the gateway were soon pulled back.

Right as she was off to approach the gateway, stepping in front of her was Second Wind, who stomped her hoof on the ground. More of the Unown surrounded Gardevoir once more and this time, the troops of Daybreaker and Second Wind caught up. Gardevoir was slowed down once more.

"It would be so easy to wipe you out right now. If I do that...I'd probably be getting rid of Daybreaker and Gardevoir at the same time." Second Wind said with a devious look on her face. She saw this as a triple victory. "But...I will need her for gateway travel."

"Hm." Gardevoir, AKA Twilight Luminaria narrowed her eyes. She then closed them, allowing the Magical Aura to expand. It seemed to be growing in strength which the Unown swiftly noticed to the point where they were even intimidated. Second Wind gasped as she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The Unown were shaking. Despite them having plenty of power, especially when working together, the presence of this one character was instilling intimidation in them. How can that be? Some of the Unown flew off to continue manipulating the gateway, but with fewer of them around it, would be harder to do so.

Back at Universe One, Nadya backed away as the gateway was violently shaking. Due to these interruptions, the gateway was fluctuating, affecting Nadya's home. Not only was her fridge shaking, but her furniture was being raised off the floor. Luca grimaced as he was underneath the couch. His cover might be blown if any of the dastardly forces spot him.

Gardevoir's Mindscape.

Back at the Mindscape, Daybreaker and Gardevoir were still struggling as the magical realm was truly keeping them down, preventing them from doing much. Not only was she being kept down, but the Aura was beginning to leave her body.

Gardevoir felt all of the Aura she gathered being expelled from her. All those lifespans she's managed to steal were fleeing thanks to Twilight Luminaria having full control. The other Twilight seemed to have a method of expelling Aura efficiently and it certainly shows.

"M-My Aura... "Ngh...I can't do anything!" Gardevoir groaned, feeling completely powerless. She closed her eyes as the Azure energy kept leaving her mindscape. This correlated with her strength, making it harder for her to keep her balance against this magical pressure. "It can't end like this! My immortality!"

Gardevoir was feeling gutted by this. All the Aura she gathered through the centuries was leaving once more. Ash's group did it first and now Twilight Luminaria was picking up where they left off. At this rate, Gardevoir would end up regaining the original lifespan that she was always meant to have.

And that couldn't happen. Gardevoir was still absolutely terrified of passing on. Even after losing to Ash's group, she never accepted that reality. It was why she spent so long absorbing high amounts of Aura. And now, it looks like it would all vanish. Gardevoir could already see it now. Her demise. Her eyes and body started shaking out of pure fear. The same fear she felt when she was a Kirlia.

"Calm down!" Daybreakear bellowed, prompting Gardevoir to face her. "It isn't time to panic yet. As if this is where we meet defeat.

"What can we do?! My Aura is leaving at a rapid pace and-"

"You fool. You're a Gardevoir. You're so used to having your Aura as your crutch that you've dismissed everything else, haven't you? Stop complaining and use the full extent of your power."

"Are you insane?! I may forgotten about it for a moment, but if I do, it will create a black hole! I might not even survive with so much power being sapped away from me as well." Gardevoir grunted. "I can't perish, Daybreaker...I'm too afraid of meeting my demise. If I do perish here, what was all that work for? My path to immortality..."

"Better that than anything else." Daybreaker was fearless after this warning was given to her. You need not worry. This is exactly why I started this alliance. We are each against a common enemy but we must also help each other out as well. I promised you to help reach immortaility, didn't I?"

"Y-Yes...?"

"Then trust me, Gardevoir. You can't go at it alone. Not anymore. Not in this age compared to the previous ones. If you want to achieve your goals, even with such overwhelming foes in your way, you must fully trust us." Daybreaker simply asking Gardevoir to throw away her pride for a moment. She wasn't as powerful as she used to be after all. But she could reach that level once more with Daybreaker's help.

Gardevoir was rather stunned. Prior to this, it was mainly Ash's group who offered to help her. They helped her leave the realm of Delayed Aura Ataxia as a way to weaken the Ataxia while also granting Gardevoir some freedom, even after learning about what she did. It was mainly Ash and Fluttershy who understood where Gardevoir was coming from but still tried to stop that.

And once more, it was happening again. Someone was truly willing to help Gardevoir. Daybreaker, of all ponies. Never before has Gardevoir ever received trust from anyone else. It was a first and she wasn't sure how to react.

"R-Right..." Gardevoir stuttered. She did forget about her other capabilities. Twilight Luminaria was mainly taking out the Aura, but she was also affecting her magic. But that was where Daybreaker came into play. Having enough magic to combat Luminaria, the Solar Queen, expended her own magic, giving the Embrace Pokemon a lift.

Gardevoir's energy accelerated as she was starting to get back up. At first, she was perplexed by what was entering her body. A searing energy that was absolutely scorching was burning her. That was just how powerful Daybreaker's magic was. However, it soon became warm. Gardevoir felt her heart warming up as well as her body.

She could get up at an easier rate without needing to stagger and grunt. The Embrace Pokemon was in awe as a solar aura surrounded her body.

At that moment, the Harmony Phenomenon came into play. Even within the Mindscape, it could be activated. But it was done by Twilight Luminaria at all. The mass of Twilight Luminaria noticed the change in the magical atmosphere. She knew what this feeling was. It was harmony. But it wasn't the type of harmony she was expecting.

Usually, harmony is associated with all things good. But for these two, they were anything but good for the most part. But it was still Harmony. Lo and behold, Daybreaker and Gardevoir tapped into this phenomenon themselves. After all, a good feeling came from both of them. Mainly from Gardevoir.

It reacted to them both, forming something new. Gardevoir's own energy was also flowing into Daybreaker, allowing her to get back up as well. The two of them were receiving revitalization as the solar energy around their bodies would flare.

Gardevoir then unleashed a greater essence of energy that she managed to obtain, allowing her to push back against the pressure keeping her down. Naturally, this affected what was happening on the outside as well. Gardevoir was gaining control back as the Harmony Phenomenon was greatly influencing the Mindscape of Twilight Luminaria, already bringing the palace down.

"I'm not at my best still." Twilight Luminara commented. "If only I had the rest of my Magic and Aura...At this rate, I might have to wait longer..."

"If I ever find you, I'll take all the Aura that you have!" Gardevoir declared to Twilight Luminaria, just in case her physical form ever shows up. "Now leave my body at once!"

Kalos. Anistar City. The Pokemon Festival. Day

Absol's horn started shaking more and more. At first, the disaster he sensed was minimal and could only potentially sprout into something truly dangerous. But now, it quickly skyrocketed. His horn was shaking even faster, telling everyone that this incoming disaster was evolving. And yet, Absol didn't move. Instead, he wasn't sure if he should.

He sensed that this disaster, while happening in the north, might not stay for long. But it wasn't just Absol who was sensing something. Both Twilight and Sci-Twi were in the same boat. It was all thanks to Twilight Luminaria. Even from this distance, there was an effect.

While it didn't harm them, it did perplex them. The soul of Twilight Luminaria within them was acting up once again. This time, it was stronger than before compared to how weak it was on the Ghost Train. They had no idea what was going on but at that moment, they both felt what could be Aura. Twilight already knows what Aura feels like, but this wasn't the Aura she was used to.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 318 End.
