My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Pixelized and Revitalized

Kalos. Lunice Hills. The Pokemon Festival. Nightfall.

By this point, the Moon had risen the aesthetic of the night complimented the Digital Energy that was currently present. Here at this small Fishermane community, a Subspace Swampert along with a few other Subspace Water Pokemon had appeared. This was the result of Gardevoir losing control.

If they were to reach the Diamond Domain, they had to get past this Digital Debacle. But even Daybreaker's group was going through the same thing, if not a worse version of it. The Digital Particles lit up the night sky, covering some of the stars from everyone's sight.

"How are we gonna reach the Diamond Domain with this in our way?!" Rainbow Dash questioned. As soon as she asked that, one of the Subspace Swanna flapped its wings, sending Digital Particles her way. The pegasus screeched before quickly zipping to the side but the effects of this energy kicked in once more.

They once again caused a glitch that allowed the particles to reach Rainbow Dash. They ignored their current position, snapping to another. Caught by surprise, Rainbow Dash was smacked in the face by these particles. She spun through the air before recollecting herself.

"Swampert!" Swampert would attack next, using Hydro Pump from its mouth. This Hydro Pump was immediately surrounded by those Digital Particles, which meant that there was a high chance for it to glitch.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"

"Pika...Chuuu!" Unleashing 100,000 volts of energy from his body was Pikachu, who intercepted the incoming Thunderbolt. Coming into contact with the Digital Water, it had the usual reaction when these two elements combined, but with a twist. Thunderbolt fizzled for a moment, having a unique reaction with the Digital Energy that scrambled it for a moment. It was beginning to turn into a bunch of pixels, losing its original form.

However, Pikachu managed to push through, destroying the Digital Water in the process. The pixels then fell before scattering, racing towards Ash and his group. The Fishermen were already fleeing the scene, not wanting to be caught up in this mess at all. But alas, the mess would come for them either way.

"Eve, use Dazzling Gleam on them!

"Esp!" By unleashing rainbows from her body, they transformed into rays, destroying the pixels before tey could get any further. In this state, they were noticeably weaker after being split up from their original form.

"We can probably beat them but how do we deal with the sea!? It's all over the place!" Rainbow Dash was more fixated on the sea and how it had been digitized. Right now, it was not safe to cross it.

"I saw it freak out when it touched Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Do you think Electricity could work?" Ash asked.

"Of course it can work. Anything digital is connected to electricity. But that would mean we'd have to unleash it on the water and any Pokemon living there could be hurt." But Twilight couldn't take the risk. "And they don't look like they want to leave the sea anytime soon."

They had an answer thanks to common knowledge but the solution would be hard to achieve considering that there were still Pokemon living in those seas. And the Subspace Pokemon knew this for a fact. They purposefully stayed in the water, except for Swampert, who was out in the open. But that didn't matter since Swampert was still a Ground-Type. Ash and Twilight knew that much about Subspace Pokemon after all.

Taking advantage of this, the many Water-Types unleashed a swarm of pixels in the form of different attacks, sending them straight at Ash's group. Everyone had to brace themselves for this massive swarm, but Twilight would simply put up a shield. Conjuring up a protection spell, a massive barrier was formed the second the pixels approached.

Upon contact, the pixels interacted with Twilight's barrier, disrupting its natural form. They were digitizing it, turning every bit of its magical essence into Digital Energy. The Princess of Friendship gasped as her shield was changing its properties, no longer being completely stable.

Once it was all turned into pixels, it backfired on her. The pixels would combust, engulfing Twilight in the process. But these pixel explosions didn't just knock Twilight back. They also affected her body. The young alicorn had a part of her body turned into pixels because of this contact, starting from her right hoof to a bit of her wings.

"Gah!" Twilight was shocked to see what became of small parts of her body. While she wasn't in any pain, it was rather perplexing.

"Twilight! Are you alright?!" Ash asked.

"I-I'm okay! I think..." She held her hoof out, seeing how digitized it became. Some of it even surrounded her right eye and that certainly threw Twilight for a loop. From only her right eye, half of her vision was obstructed. One half was normal while the other showed everything in a different light.

She immediately saw the environment around her as digital which was very much odd. Twilight stumbled back, trying to find some balance with this other vision. Her friends found themselves at a bit of a standstill. If there was a way to ensure the safety of the Pokemon living underwater, they would take it. But as of now, they didn't have a way to do so.

---

The same can be said for Daybreaker's group. Their challenge was much harder since they were dealing with the source of the issue. Gardevoir. But despite having the harder challenge, the solution was far easier for them since it all it would take to stop this would be to defeat Gardevoir. However, that would also prove to be troublesome.

Gardevoir had managed to summon more Subspace Pokemon, further boosting her numbers and spreading the Digital Danger further. Some Combee had already left a while ago and if this keeps up, more and more Subspace Pokemon will have the chance to show up everywhere else.

By this point, a majority of Second Wind's troops have been digitized as their bodies became pixels, allowing for Garevoir to siphon their Aura. Daybreaker's troops were still around but they were just as vulnerable in this Pixelated Pandemonium.

"Appear! Necrozma!" Daybreaker launched the Poke Ball into the air, summoning her Necrozma into the fray. Second Wind still had her Unown while Hunter J had her own Pokemon that spoke for themselves. Currently, they were all in the air, above the pixel ground which was rather fragile.

Necrozma was only here to absorb light, as always. And the second he saw the Subspace Pokemon, a golden opportunity struck. Necrozma could already sense the light energy comingfrom the Subspace Pokemon, especially with all thesep ixels around. As long as it had light of some sort, Necrozma could take it for himself.

"I'll ignore all of the Pokemon and go straight for Gardevoir." Daybreaker ordered. "The sooner we stop her the better. But I'm trusting you all to keep these strange Pokemon in check."

"Who needs trust when I'm guaranteed to stay unharmed throughout the whole thing." Second Wind bragged, prompting Daybreaker to roll her eyes.

"Necrozma! Let's-" Before Daybreaker could finish her sentence, she was suddenly hit with a message. A message from Necrozma. As soon as he unleashed his cry, it resonated with Daybreaker as she instantly read it. "You want to absorb these Pokemon?" She translated.

Ever since last time, Daybreaker and Necrozma have grown to a point where they could understand each other better, even by communicating with certain cries. Already, Daybreaker understood what Necrozma wanted and while she would like to defeat Gardevoir first to quickly end the problem, she did promise Necrozma one thing.

To give him as much light as he wants and right now, there was a goldmine right in front of him. It would be a waste to stop here. "I understand. Very well. We'll take the light from these Pokemon before anything else!" Daybreaker put on a devious smile as she almost skipped out on something truly valuable. What better way to grow Necrozma's power than right now?

The Prism Pokemon advanced, approaching the Subspace Pokemon that appeared before him. The Subspace Pyroar from before lunged at Necrozma, only to be slashed by a Shadow Claw in a second. Pyroar cried out as this was then followed by a strong grab from the Psychic-Type.

"P-Py!" Pryroar roared as Necrozma's powerful grip clutched his entire middle body, restraining him. Right now, he was just food for Necrozma. As for what happens when a Subspace Pokemon loses it's light, that was about to be discovered fairly soon and Necrozma couldn't wait. He immediately started absorbing the light energy of the Subspace Pokemon, feeding on this Digital Power from a Lost Universe.

Pyroar's Subspace Energy could be seen vanishing before everyone's eyes. He was losing his glow as it was all entering Necrozma's body instead. The result was a flare of Subspace Energy exuding from Necrozma. This was a new sensation for it.

Much like how absorbing the light from the Sea Temple Crystals felt unique, so did the Subspace Energy. After Pyroar's energy was completely stripped away from him, he fizzled out, returning as pixels. However, those pixels also ended up entering Necroza's body in the end. Witnessing this, the other Subspace Pokemon took action, attempting to avenge Pyroar.

"Prismatic Laser!" Focusing on the other Pokemon that were approaching him from the side, Necrozma's body would flash for a moment, releasing multiple rays of light. These Pokemon were blasted out of the sky by the lasers, falling immediately. The Prismatic Lasers also managed to power through the pixels, crushing them.

The Unown would support Necrozma, unleashing Hidden Power down on these Subspace Pokemon. Rays of red light came crashing down on the Subspace Pokemon, clashing with their Digital Energy.

"This is excellent. To think I almost skipped out on these. But I can use it eventually once Gardevoir is subdued. Dragon Claw once more!"

"Salamence, use Hyper Beam!"

"Hidden Power!" Soon, with the combined might of Necrozma's absorption, the Unown and Salamence, they were able to push back against the Subspace Pokemon and their many numbers. Necrozma was stronger than ever after absorbing that energy, meaning it would be easier for him to down his enemies.

His Shadow Claw took out an Orbeetle, who attempted to bombard the Psychic-Type with repeated Bug Buzzes, only for them to be sliced apart by the Shadow Claw. Necrozma could easily fit Orbeetle in his claws, allowing him to immediately such the light away from this Subspace Variant. One arm was available, which would soon unleash Gravity.

A strong pressure of Gravity was formed above the opposing Pokemon, weighing them down. Those in the air were forced to the ground, crashing into the pixels which would bounce and scatter immediately.

Sensing a strong resistance, Gardevoir would tap into yet another power that she has yet to experiment with. Until now. Summoning one of the portals by her side thanks to the Magical Aura, she immediately went for the next energy she hasn't yet tried out. Gardevoir wasn't thinking about what it would be. Instead, she would go with the flow.

But this time, it was something she could actually grab without any issue. The energy in question was an Esoteric-like substance. Gardevoir ripped it out, wielding the wobbly energy. After unlocking a new type of power, she didn't hesitate to unleash it on her targets and the first ones would be Unown.

She sent the Esoteric Energy forward as it managed to envelop many of the Unown. Right as they were about to use Hidden Power once more, they found themselves being trapped within an ectoplasm-like bubble. They were stopped in their tracks as Gardevoir manipulated the extra-planar energy residing in the world.

"Huh?! What is this?!" Second Wind questioned once her Unown were stopped.

"it's Esoteric Magic!" Daybreaker recognized it. "Or at least something related to it. She was already pulling from an outside force that was never hers, but now she truly is tapping into something beyond our world."

As soon as she found something new, Gardevoir then used this mystical power against Necrozma. She expanded the Esotectic bubbles around the Unown, sending them straight for the Prism Pokemon.

"Get out of there, Necrozma! Before it-" But it was too late for Daybreaker to warn him. The energy was merged with the Digital Energy for a split moment, allowing the Esoteric Energy to glitch. Thanks to these glitching capabilities, it reached Necrozma much sooner.

The Psychic-Type was soon struck by the energy, not only taking a hard hit but feeling the main effects. Necrozma's body was outright inversed. All that darkness that filled his body thanks to living in solitude for so long was reversed for every bit of light that he absorbed.

The Prism Pokemon cried out as all of the Light Energy he's ever absorbed was now his outer body and fully exposed instead of residing in him. From the Sea Temple Crystals, random Pokemon, to the Subspace Energy. It was all flashing everywhere, much like a prism. But even though this gave Necrozma a new look, the reality was that it was harming him. All of this light shouldn't be outside and neither should his body be inverse.

"Necrozma!" Daybreaker bellowed out of pure shock. But Gardevoir wasn't done. She further manipulated the outer twilight in his body, bringing it straight towards her. After all, all of this energy was related to the Aura and it was easily up for grabs. Everything Necrozma took for himself was about to be taken by Gardevoir instead.

---

Back with Ash's group, Twilight was still unable to see properly. With one half being digital, it was difficult for the Princess of Friendship to move around. She almost fell over, only for Rainbow Dash to catch her.

"S-Sorry...But I can't see straight at the moment. Everything's all..." She groaned while being held up by Rainbow Dash. Not only was everything digital to her, but the Subspace Pokemon were even more obscured than before. They already had quite the glow to them, but now, they might as well be bodies of light. The young alicorn attempted to flap her wings, only to feel them move at a slower pace. It's not that they were damaged, it was just that Twilight's wings weren't flapping as fast as she wanted them too.

Her hoof was also stuttering repeatedly at a rapid pace but it wouldn't help her move fast at all. Getting by that Digital explosion certainly brought a massive drawback that rendered her weak at that moment. Ironic, since this was technically something she should be used to due to Twilight Luminaria's connection with her.

"We've got only one way of doing this." Ash dug into is pockets, taking out five Poke Balls. If he wanted to stop this mess, getting the Pokemon out of the sea was the first objective. But he wasn't focusing on the Pokemon casually living underwater. Instead, he was focusing on the Subspace Pokemon. "Bulbasaur! Bayleef! Sceptile! Leavanny! Snivy! Help me out here."

"Bulbasaur!" Five of Ash's Pokemon were summoned. Out of all his Pokemon, these ones had the best reach. All thanks to the vines that naturally come with them. On top of that, Grass-Types had a natural advantage over Water-Types and Leavanny had one move that would be long enough.

"Get all of them out of the water! Use your vines! Leavanny, use String Shot!"

"Sceptile!" Starting off before anyone else was Sceptile, holding his arms out and summoning a long vine directed at the Water-Types. Quickly getting in his way was that aggressive Swampert, who knocked the vine to the side. "Scep?!"

"Swamp!"

"You won't let us through...we'll force our way through then!" Ash narrowed his eyes. "Help me out here! Eve! Absol! Since Twilight was struggling at the moment, Ash would take the helm and have Absol and Espeon support him. "Hold Swampert down with Psychic! Absol! Move in with Night Slash! Pikachu, use Iron Tail!"

"Pika!" A full team effort from Ash's friends. Leavanny's String Shot was finally unleashed, flying alongside the Mouse Pokemon and the Disaster Pokemon. The Water Pokemon were already prepared to disrupt this with their Digital Energy.

"Castform, use Energy Ball!"

"Cast!" Flying out of Rainbow Dash's saddlebag was Castform, who immediately unleashed an Energy Ball from above. And he wasn't alone. Assisting him with Zeraora who moved so fast that he went ahead of everyone else. Zeraora used Close Combat, striking Swampert directly with a fierce and swift blow to the face, followed up by a super-effective Energy Ball.

"S-Swamp!" Thanks to this staggering blow from Zeraora and Castform, Espeon was able to hold the Water-Ground-Type down with a mental hold. This would set up Pikachu and Absol for the follow-up. Pikachu swept Swampert's legs with Iron Tail, sending it upwards while Absol leapt into the air.

"Sol!" The Dark-Type slashed past the Subspace Swampert, dealing heavy damage to it. Thanks to this coordination, this allowed the vines and string to pass by without any interruption. However, the other Water-Types were about to let them land so easily. They would each unleash their digital particles at the vines and string that came their way and they obviously outnumbered them.

"Blind them! Eve! Pikachu!"

"Esp!" But Ash was prepared for this, having one way to ensure that his Pokemon managed to succeed. After sweeping Swampert's leg, Pikachu leapt into the air, brightening his body with a brilliant flash of electricity. Joining him was Espeon who ended up using Dazzling Gleam. Successfully, they managed to blind the opposing Subspace Pokemon.

Such a surprise attack allowed the vines and string to wrap around the Subspace Pokemon. And now that they had a hold of them, they would immediately start pulling them out. Sceptile and Leavanny had splendid strength, allowing them to rip Swanna and Lanturn out of the water.

The first two were removed and pulled out of the water. Bulbasaur, despite his size, was packing plenty of strength which was shown by how he removed Lumineon out of the Water. Bayleef would do the same as this plan was looking to be a success. The first few Water-Types were stripped from the Digital Sea and thrown onto land instead. But there was still a bit more of them to remove.

Seeing that Ash's group found a solution to this, the Subspace Pokemon had to up their game. They once again tried the same trick that managed to get Twilight. Just throw a large stream of Digital Wter at them. Without an alicorn to protect them from the fierce and large stream, this was sure to affect them more than Twilight.

Ash and the group braced themselves as a tsunami of Digital Water was summoned because of this unified strength. They used all the pixels they could to make it as large as possible. Already, the water was showing signs of glitching, meaning that it had either a high chance to reach its targets quicker or even ignore any evasion of protection.

Pikachu flared his red sacs with electricity while Zeraora simply emitted plasma from her body. If only she could go all out with it right now. All the Fishermen managed to get far from the mess, but the way things were developing, it might catch up with them eventually.

That is until extra help arrived. Holding back the massive Digital Wave was a magical grasp. Two of them to be exact. One that resembled the beautiful Golden Sun and the other resembling the Night Sky. Ash recognized those magical colours anywhere. By looking up, he saw that Celestia and Luna had arrived.

Due to what was happening, it wasn't that hard for them to catch up at all. They didn't have to worry about moving as fast as possible to find Ash's group when they were still here at the Lunice Hills. With them using their magic together, both of them easily surpassed Twilight and moved the large Digital Stream back.

"You didn't go far at all." said Celestia. "What happened here though?"

This gave Ash and his friends the opportunity to follow up from here and successfully solve the issue. Twilight put on a smile even with her digitized face. She was still inactive at the moment, struggling to even stand up properly. And yet, something about this felt familiar to her but she couldn't handle it at all.

---

Necrozma was immobile because of this, especially since his body couldn't handle this bizarre inverse. Daybreaker took flight, deciding to get physically involved with this one. She would unleash her Solar Magic, sending a bright flare that immediately intercepted Gardevoir's energy.

Gardevoir growled at this retaliation, not wanting Daybreaker to ruin this for her. She needed this Aura all to herself. In response, she used the Digital Energy right at Daybreaker from her other arm. Just as the fiery beam clashed with Gardevoir's Esoteric rays, the Digital Energy would fly in, striking the Solar Queen.

However, the Digital Energy would suddenly burn up. The sheer heat of Daybreaker's own Aura burned it away, eliminating the pixels. They could not handle this heat as it felt like the Sun itself was hitting them. Daybreaker had a constant heat around her body after all and even though it was passive, it was an excellent defence.

After eliminating the energy that tried to tackle her, Daybreaker strengthed her Solar Ray, causing it to burn through the Esoteric Rays. Gardevoir tried holding it back as there was a mild struggle. The two sides were viciously struggling to win this clash, but only one would emerge victorious.

"Hyper Beam!"

"Sala!" Salamence would be the one to assist Daybreaker, unleashing Hyper Beam directly at the Embrace Pokemon. Gardevoir was soon engulfed by the fierce blast of Infinity Energy. This allowed Daybreaker to also land her own beam, dealing extra damage to the Psychic-Fairy-Type

This deleted the Esoteric Energy that held the Unown in place along with Necrozma. However, Necrozma was still suffering from his body being inversed. He could at least move this time, albeit with immense pain. Necrozma had to force himself to move with everything being inversed for him.

But that was nothing the Unown couldn't handle. As soon as they broke free, they used their Hidden Power on the Prism Power. With their unified strength, the Unown managed to return Necrozma's body back to normal. All of the lights around him were sucked back in, bringing back his dark exterior while keeping everything bright within.

"Hah...Aaahh..." At that moment, Gardevoir started breathing in and out, holding her head in pain. Clearly, while she was elated to obtain Aura at an easier rate, she wanted to do it of her own volition.

"Twilight Luminaria! If you can hear me, you should stop at once!" Daybreaker yelled at Gardevoir, hoping to reach Twilight Luminaria. "To think you're keeping this up after we defeated you back in the Mindscape!"

"I love this...But not like this...!" Gardevoir groaned, expressing how wonderful this was but also horrible. Twilight Luminaria was obviously doing this to satisfy Gardevoir's urges but with a drawback. This would ensure that Daybreaker's group would be defeated and by the end of it, Gardevoir would fall right afterwards.

"She's at least managing to speak and gain some control at least. Keep her steady and we'll finish her off at once." Second Wind ordered.

The Unown were already on it, attempting to use Hidden Power to restrain Gardevoir. Getting their way were the Subspace Pokemon who were still around. Even though they managed to land a hit on Gardevoir, the Subspace Pokemon were still an issue that had yet to be dealt with.

Necrozma, after being freed, was seething with rage. To feel that sort of pain was unforgivable in his eyes. In response, Necrozma went straight for Gardevoir, ignoring everyone else. The rage he was feeling had to be quelled and the only way to do so was by crushing Gardevoir.

"Wait! Necrozma!" Daybreaker gasped after seeing Necrozma going straight for Gardevoir. The Embrace Pokemon looked at her fellow Psychic-Type with a distressed face before shifting expressions once Twilight Luminaria's influence returned. This prompted her to use Dark Pulse against Necrozma, but it was greatly elevated thanks to the Digital Energy and Esoteric Energy.

Necrozmoa would gladly take this on. His rage would support his strength, allowing him to crash right into the Dark Pulse. And when doing so, Necrozma began absorbing it. He was already used to absorbing the Digital Energy since it was similar to what the Subspace Pokemon possess but the Esoteric Energy was very different.

However, it wasn't anything that Necrozma couldn't absorb. As long as it has light, Necrozma can claim it after all. There was a bit of a struggle though. Necrozma was attempting to push through Gardevoir's attack while continuously absorbing it while Gardevoir was rather intimidated by how close Necrozma was.

But by gaining power just by being around the attack, Necrozma won eventually. Stronger than ever thanks to everything he's absorbed, he managed to land a Shadow Claw. Breaking through the darkness, he slashed past Gardevoir, landing a super-effective blow.

The Embrace Pokemon took the full force of it as the impact was followed up by an outburst of Digital Energy. To Daybreaker and everyone's surprise, Necrozma incorporated Digital Energy into that attack. Already, he learned to use it as well. That surprising combination is what put this to rest.

Gardevoir's pupils vanished as she immediately fainted, causing her to fall. The Digital and Esoteric Energy around her would vanish, leading to the end of this struggle. The Embrace Pokemon's defeat correlated with the surrounding area. Even though she had lost, the Subspace Pokemon did not vanish. Instead, they were just weakened.

Greatly weakened. They could feel their strength fail them in a heartbeat the second Gardevoir fainted. They did not fizzle out but they were lacking a huge Ooomp to them. Quickly, Daybreaker would catch Gardevoir before she could suffer a hard fall since the ground was returning to normal. No longer was it flooded with pixels everywhere.

Necrozma's rage secured victory for Daybreaker's group, even if he ignored Daybreaker despite her being his Trainer. Daybreaker looked up at the Prism Pokemon, glad that he put an end to this. But yet again, there were times were Necrozma would do his own thing, even if this was a minor instance.

By extension, Twilight Luminaria was stopped once more. Daybreaker was hoping that it was for good this time. The energies that Twilight Luminaria was once possessed were rather impressive, but also dangerous for even Gardevoir to go wild with them. She never even acted like this with Aura, even if she was still cruel.

All that was left was to deal with the opposing Subspace Pokemon and unfortunately for these unique variants, they would be prey for Necrozma. The Prism Pokemon slowly descended, gazing at all of them with malicious intent and unbridled hunger as the journey continues.

Chapter 324 End.
