My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Magical Aura Obtained

Kalos. Tropezete Town. Nadya's Home. The Pokemon Festival. Day.

Stepping away from her fridge was Nadya after seeing the gateway violently tremble. Quite the predicament is happening through there to the point where the furniture was being raised off the floor. Even though the mess was happening on the other side, it was strong enough to affect this world.

Getting up so that he would avoid the storm of floating furniture was Luca. As soon as he saw all of this go down, he immediately called for the authorities. He already did so a while back but they were unable to access the world beyond. Only J's group mysteriously. But even if they couldn't, it was for the best that they showed up for this.

"Are my parents okay?!" Nadya was mainly worried about her parents who were still being held hostage beyond this point. She feared that something truly destructive was going on.

Nadya covered her ears as a powerful boom erupted from the gateway, shattering the windows and anything related to glass. Afterwards, emerging from that gateway were the Unown. They flew out, whirling and spinning even though they were the ones manipulating the gateway.

A Lost World. Gardevoir's Mindscape.

It was all due to what was happening inside of Gardevoir's Mindscape. The ones to tap into the Harmony Phenomenon today weren't just Scootaloo and Pachirisu. Daybreaker and Gardevoir managed to pull it off after Gardevoir experienced what trust truly was.

By unlocking the power of the Harmony Phenomenon, they pushed back against the Mass of Magic that was Twilight Luminaria, affecting the outside as well. While she managed to overtake Gardevoir's Mindscape, that was soon repelled by the unison of Equestrian Magic and Infinity Energy which seemed to mesh so well.

Gardevoir had a devious yet gleeful look on her face. Not only was she suddenly feeling an uprise of Aura despite a good chunk of it being expelled outside, Daybreaker's unification allowed the Aura Vampire to regain a great ordeal of strength. Naturally, she was going to utilize it to its fullest.

"If only I had a physical body..." Twilight Luminaria's Magical Mass said. Clearly, she was still weak. But if this was her version of weak, then her true self must harbour a great wealth of magic. "But that doesn't mean I'm giving up so easily."

Even still, her magic was still superior, as seen by the fact that the palace of Twilight Luminaria was still active even when Gardevoir was retaking control. The floor beneath her was shifting, mainly a result of Gardevoir's Mindscape trying to put everything back together.

The result of this was an absolute mess and disorganization. The ancient buildings from long ago that Gardevoir had fond memories off were sprouting from the walls and ground, merging with the palace's structure and completely ruining its beauty.

"Drat...I'm still not completely free..." Gardevoir noticed the scenery still mostly swaying to Luminaria's side.

"Hm?" Daybreaker would take the time to look at this area a bit longer and it definitely brought some interest. She didn't notice at first, but this palace was harbouring certain items.

The Alicorn Amulet was among one of these objects, but there was a clear difference with it. It didn't have the usual red and black design it always possesses. This Alicorn Amulet had a purple and white appearance to it instead, similar to Twilight Wish's colour scheme.

There was more. A cloak that was made out of an unknown fabric that perfectly recaptured the luminous sparkle of the night sky and the moon as well as a crown that looked a lot like Twilight Sparkle's Crown. The same symbol and everything. That much was to be expected but what Daybreaker didn't expect were other objects that r4eside in Canterlot Castle. But this was clearly not Canterlot Castle at all.

"The Alicorn Amulet? And is that Clover the Clever's Cloak?" Daybreaker uttered. Clover the Clever's Cloak was also present here as it was kept for some reason despite not being all that crucial. Before she could figure all of this out, everything was shifting. This was thanks to Gardevoir trying to break Twilight Luminaria's castle apart.

Gardevoir blocked the flash of magic coming her way, using a Psychic Barrier as her shield. Gardevoir was pushed back as Daybreaker focused on the scenario at hand, defending herself as well. With the scenery slightly changing, the two of them found themselves elsewhere in this castle. They ended up inside of a chamber this time.

Daybreaker once again observed her surroundings. This chamber was an opulent hall within the massive palace, featuring high vaulted ceilings adorned with intricate stained-glass windows depicting scenes of starlit nights. A hushed silence envelops the chamber broken only by the soft tinkling of chimes suspended from the ceiling, creating an eerie yet enchanting atmosphere.

In the centre of the chamber stands a magnificent crystal prism, refracting the faint moonlight ushering in ever-changing hues across the room. But what truly mattered was what was on the walls. Daybreaker spotted what appeared to be pictures. This wasn't just a place for formal events or a private room. It seemed to be a gallery. On the walls were paintings and images of various species. Not just ponies.

The world that Twilight Luminaria once lived in was identical to the current world in Universe One, where many species are unified. In her world, that was greatly elevated as seen by the Changeling Pictures on the wall. There was the image of a Changeling Queen and a Cangeling Princess both smiling. The Queen mainly resembled Chrysalis but with another alternate appearance.

Next to them were images of Yaks, Dragons and even Hippogriffs. All of which appeared to be royalty. Weirdly enough, not a sign of anypony resembling Celestia or Luna at all. Daybreaker could even see faces that strongly resembled Ember and Prince Rutherford, but not herself prior to this transformation.

What truly stuck out were the images of the Humans and one human, in particular, was seen in the middle of all the paintings. Each of the paintings were perfectly lined up on the side but one of them was bigger than the rest.

A picture of Prisma.

The supposed Strongest Trainer was there on the wall, not showing a smile at all. And right next to him appeared to be Twilight Luminaria herself, but Daybreaker couldn't make it out with all of the dust, buildings and light in the way. Even still, the picture was clear either way.

Prisma kept a serious face while a smile could be seen under Twilight Luminaria's shielded eyes and face thanks to the disrupted Mindscape. She looked like she was nudging Prisma and Prisma himself didn't have the most ecstatic reaction to it. From a glance, it just looked like Ash and Twilight as always but with a clear difference.

At first, Daybreaker would have dismissed this place since it was a replica of a lost universe. But considering the Alicorn Amulet and other noticeable items were apparently present and everything from this lost universe was slowly starting to return, she might have to look into this.

"That isn't Ash, is it? What is this place?" Daybreaker questioned.

"That's the one I'm trying to stop from returning." Twilight Luminaria replied. "Prisma, under no circumstances, can return. I'd rather he never show up again than to deal with you all. You know him as one of his reincarnations. Ash Ketchum. Residing within Ash Ketchum is a part of Prisma's Soul."

"Oh? Quite a misleading picture isn't it? Look how happy you are."

"That picture doesn't have much meaning anymore." Twilight Luminaria's voice lowered all of a sudden. Almost as if there as a tinge of sadness behind it. "Prisma and I...That doesn't matter. What does matter is that I have the chance to at least stop his revival before history repeats itself. I don't want this universe to vanish either."

"Do it on your own accord. And leave my body out of it!" Afterwards, Gardevoir unleashed Dark Pulse towards the Magical Mass which also unleashed a mystical beam. Both attacks clashed within this chamber, rippling the Mindscape.

"No...I'm losing control." Twilight Luminaria's Magical Mass started diminishing. The massive size of it was getting smaller and smaller by the second. "I don't have much time left."

"Is that so? Too bad for you!" Gardevoir smirked as she was starting to win the clash. It was only because Twilight Luminaria was still greatly limited in what she could do.

---

This was also thanks to what was happening on the outside. Gardevoir, who was still partially being controlled by Twilight Luminaria, was violently twitching as the Magical Aura was flaring everywhere. The Unown were struck by the rampant Aura while the troops of Daybreaker and Second Wind were being pushed back, unable to get close. The Magical Aura acted like a fierce shield and a storm at the same time.

"What is happening in there?!" Second Wind flinched, covering her eyes in the face of this volatile power. "How can the power of my Unown struggle to stop this immediately?"

"If this continues, all of the work to make this new Black Market will go out of the window," J commented when observing this scuffle. It was time for her to take action. Immediately, her attention was drawn towards Nadya's parents. They weren't caught up in all of this at all, but unfortunately, now they would be.

"W-What are you doing?!" Nadya's mother gasped as the ominous shadow of Hunter J covered her.

"You have extra use aside from being just my hostages," J smirked when standing over them. She held her hand out, targeting Nadya's mother. At that moment, she had the Desire of Twilight Sparkle assist her, using the power of the Desire which flowed across her hand.

J grabbed onto Nadya's Mother's head, suddenly drawing the Aura out of her. She also ended up using the Fighting-Type energy within the Infinity Vambrace which gave her extra perks. The Desire also spread, affecting Nadya's Father and drawing out his own Aura.

The two of them groaned as the amount of Aura they had was being pulled out. They didn't have a heap of it. It was relatively average, much like most people in the world. But J would still find use for it. She ripped it out of their bodies, making them weaker and drained in a matter of seconds.

Hunter J now had a ball of Aura in her hand, ready to be used. But before it could be used, she once again used the Infinity Vambrace to amplify the strength of the Aura. The ball would flare, emanating a stronger pulse.

"This'll bring her back at a faster rate!" J would try and send this to Gardevoir. But this time, it would be the correct Aura that she was used to instead of the strange one that caused this problem in the first place.

"Ah, I see!" Second Wind nodded in understanding. "First, we must clear this storm of Magic and Aura. If we cannot destroy, we can at least draw on its power. Unown!"

The Unown would unify their powers once more. This time, instead of trying to overwhelm the Magical Aura, they would use it for themselves. Together, they began sucking in the Magical Aura, gravitating it towards themselves. This resulted in them taking damage but it was worth the risk as it immediately allowed J to find an opening.

The Unown were dropping when exposed to the Magical Aura, followed by J launching the sphere forward. It entered Gardevoir's body, immediately feeding her what she craves more than anything. Gardevoir gasped as from the outside and inside, the Aura quickly changed the tide of this battle.

With Twilight Luminaria losing control and the Aura feeding Gardevoir's body, it was clear that Daybreaker's group was about to claim victory during this small scuffle. Back in the Mindscape, Twilight Luminaria accepted defeat. But even though she knew her loss was inevitable, she did not surrender.

"I still have my chance even after this. If I don't appear, Prisma returns and everything will be lost." She said to Gardevoir and Daybreaker within the Mindscape as her Magical Mass began dispersing. "I don't have any regrets since this isn't over."

Those were the last words she said before vanishing, leaving Gardevoir's mindscape. Following up on that was the return of the ancient town that Gardevoir once had. Daybreaker stood there, now thinking about what she could gain from this. This wasn't just a random encounter that she could forget about. It could bring some benefits.

And knowing that parts of this lost universe were returning, she might not want to miss out on this. First, she learned Prisma's name and now she learned a bit more about him thanks to Twilight Luminaria.

"Hah..." Gardevoir took a deep breath now that the intruder was gone. "Glad that's over. I almost lost all of my Aura because of that...I must say...You saved me back there, Daybreaker."

"I had to. Otherwise, this alliance would've lost a valuable member. Now let's leave and continue with our plans. Before something else catches us by surprise." Daybreaker was ready to depart at soon as possible. No point in being here any longer.

Gardevoir's Mindscape was soon enveloped in a bright flash, signifying the end of this mental visit. Her friend was free once more thanks to the efforts of Daybreaker, Second Wind and Hunter J.

---

Daybreaker could be seen returning to the real world before her troops. Gardevoir got on her knees, feeling perplexed and slightly exhausted. Speaking of exhaustion, Nadya's parents were groaning after having their Aura stripped away from them. They would certainly recover but it would take some time. It's not like they had a high chance to escape from here at all.

However, Gardevoir received something else after all of this. Remnants of the Magical Aura that she was attacked with remained. Gardevoir managed to keep some of it as it was emanating out of her hands. It flared up, showing off its purple colours to everyone. But they weren't being attacked this time.

"Oooh...Wonderful!" Gardevoir giggled with joy, sowing off this alternative Aura.

"You kept it?!" Daybreaker was astonished. After what just happened, she expected Gardevoir to forget about this Aura since it was different to what she knew and nearly expelled all of her stolen Aura.

"I didn't think I would. It must have been that strange energy that emerged once you and I united our strengths."

"The Harmony Phenomenon. It must given you a bit extra." Daybreaker could only theorize why this as the case. She wasn't 100% confident about the Harmony Phenomenon being responsible but it was a possibility since she managed to tap into it. Albeit, not on purpose.

"What kind of Aura is that anyways? How could it be so powerful?" Second Wind leaned over, looking into the purple flare that would continuously wobble and jitter.

"Whatever type of Aura it is, I'm not wasting my chance to use it to its fullest potential."

"Be careful. It comes from a world we know little of. Who knows what it can do..." Daybreaker warned. She wasn't sure about this Aura. It was so different from what she and everyone knew after all.

"Hmph. That won't be an issue. I'll tame this Aura in no time." Gardevoir wasn't worried at all. She believed that defeating Twilight Luminaria and tapping into the Harmony Phenomenon meant that she would have an easier time getting the hang of it. "I'm itching to use it now. Just to test the waters before I get back to what I was doing previously."

"Well, if we're going to continue our work, let's focus on that gateway. That battle nearly ruined our plans." Hunter J said. "We could've lost our gateway in that mess."

"Let's rectify it then. I'll have the Unown carry it out of this girl's home."

"I need her though." J faced Second Wind. "We have her family as hostages after all. I say that we keep it here and continue using this one area as our extra hideout. Moving it would be a waste."

"How would it be a waste?" Second Wind scoffed.

"Hmph. That girl is a Frontier Brain. To educate you...she can also be a spy for us. She's been feeding me information, if you must know." Hunter J then dropped something valuable that fully caught Second Wind's attention. "Since she heads to Equestria a lot of the time as a Frontier Brain, she manages to share information with me. And in exchange for her information and keeping the secret of this gateway hidden from others, her parents are safe. For the most part."

"I see...So by keeping them here, all the valuable information about your enemies can keep coming." Gardevoir added.

"That's right. And now that both worlds are one and we're finally getting somewhere with gateway travel, do you have any idea how easy it's going to be to gather more information? I can have Nadya move from region to region easily with her status as a Frontier Brain. Plus, she's encountered Ash Ketchum and his annoying friends. One of them is taking on the Battle Frontier so we can expect them to visit it from time to time until all Frontier Brains are defeated."

"She makes a good argument. Second Wind" Daybreaker backed up Hunter J. "It truly would be a waste to move it now."

"Hmph...I suppose..." Feeling bitter about this, Second Wind crossed her hooves, admitting that J had a point.

"But we're still going to do something about this gateway that connects to the fridge." J wasn't done. "Let's take a shot at reaching other places easily."

"Agreed. The gateway we've managed to replicate back in our universe will only last for 5 days. This gateway seems to be permanent so it would be better to use it to our advantage. The Unown can't do it themselves. They can only move it. But I wonder..." Daybreaker then faced Gardevoir who was still checking out her newfound Aura. "This world is where that other Twilight used to live in. Now it's in ruins. But the Aura around here might help us."

"The Riolu were also found here." Hunter J then revealed that these Riolu that were caged up were also from this world that was in absolute ruins. That explained why their Aura was so stunning to Gardevoir.

"I'm already ahead of you." Gardevoir was on the same page as Daybreaker. With her eyes pulsating from the newfound Aura, the Embrace Pokemon had a good feeling about this. After all, this Aura was connected to Twilight Luminary. One of the remnants of this Lost Universe.

Anistar City.

"Oooh..." At the same time, Twilight Luminaria disappeared from Gardevoir's Mindscape, Twilight Sparkle and Sci-Twi felt the effects as well. It felt as if something had attacked them lightly. Thankfully, neither of them suffered any major damage. But not only did Twilight Luminaria disappearing from the Mindscape affect them, the Magical Aura that Gardevoir managed to obtain left behind an effect as well.

"Absol?" Absol stood next to his trainer, fearing for her health. But there was nothing to fear. At least, for now.

"I'm fine, Absol...But what was that?" The Princess of Friendship stood there, dazed and confused. "Was that my soul being interacted with again?"

"I felt it too...But it was different from when we were on the Ghost Train." Sci-Twi could confirm that this was very different from the Ghost Train and what it managed to pull off.

"Sol..." And yet, Absol's horn kept shaking. Acting by instinct, Absol was on the move. He could tell that whatever this potential disaster was, it was greatly affecting Twilight. And anything that threatened his trainer was unacceptable. Just like that, he took off, departing from his friends.

"Wait! Absol!" Twilight shouted before following him. With Absol on the move, it prompted his friends to follow him before he ends up in trouble on his own if this Disaster was something truly serious. Absol first felt this disaster weaken a little bit but it then suddenly shot up. This was due to the clash against Twilight Luminaria. Because of her actions, she held back a potential disaster. But not for long.

And speaking of long, the distance to Tropezete Town compared to Anistar City was too long. But for Absol, that didn't matter. As a Pokemon of the wild prior to becoming Twilight's Pokemon, he'd gladly go the distance. But he might be too late due to this distance.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 319 End.
