My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Eclipsed Foalsitters

Equestria, Magehold. The Pokemon Festival. Afternoon.

Here at Magehold, Celestia was ready to depart after getting enough rest and time. It was a pleasant time being here at Magehold, far better since Fantina was the Queen, but she had to get going. The rest of the Pokemon Festival was waiting. But she would obviously leave with some gifts from Magehold. Celestia found herself wearing some accessories and a gothic hat.

She was about to make her way to Manehattan, where Rainbow Dash's next Frontier Brain battle could begin. Celestia began flaunting her accessories, making the children laugh. She took the time to get to know the vampires of Magehold outside of the Black Crusade. Naturally, a good chunk of them were peaceful and they outnumbered the members of the Dread League.

"Well, I'm not sure how to react to you all having such high pain tolerance." said Celestia after learning more about a vampire's biology. On this day, she learned that the vampires did not mind a plethora of painful things as proven by how the children react to Ghost-Type Pokemon.

"It's absolutely concerning." Luna shuddered. "Almost as much as what you're wearing."

"Why? I think it's unique. It also looks like I'm truly a part of Magehold." The Sun Princess giggled before wiggling around these strange feelers that were placed around her neck. Just looking at them and the way they moved made Luna grimace, cringe and jerk back to the point where her stomach was turning.

"It does look silly, you have to admit." Someone else spoke to Celestia. It was a very familiar voice. A voice so special that it made Celestia forget about everything and immediately face the one who spoke those words.

The Iron Will Pokemon, Cobalion, of course.

"C-Cobalion!" Celestia said, stuttering on the spot and immediately freezing as fast as a flash freeze. This is not how she wanted Cobalion to see her.

"Afternoon." Cobalion casually greeted.

"T-The Leader of the Swords of Justice!" Merrick definitely knew who Cobalion was but Diancie didn't. The rather fussy Carbink was rather flabbergasted to see such an important Pokemon here. But not as much as Celestia.

"Aah...Hah..." Realizing what she was wearing, Celestia was unsure of what to say next. But that instinct of hers would do something for her. With her face turning red, she immediately used her magic to obliterate the items that she purchased. Just like that, they were absolutely vaporized. The children were absolutely mortified by what they saw. They didn't mind terrifying things, but absolute annihilation was a different story."I-I-I didn't think I'd see you here! Or you'd see me in that!"

"It's fine. I was almost put in a suit and it would've looked all the more silly." Cobalion uttered. He then fixated his attention on the Plasma Pokemon, who was standing behind Rainbow Dash, trying to crouch and stay hidden. But she was too tall for that to be possible.

"Zera..." Zeraora grumbled upon seeing Cobalion. The two have encountered each other already, mainly due to Zeraora's rampages.

"Zeraora. It hasn't been too long. But I can see that so far, things are fine here, are they?"

"You were already trying to calm her down, right?" Fluttershy questioned.

"We encountered each other at the Crown Tundra. We were already made aware of Zeraora's Rampages and did our best to intercept her. We knew that these outbursts of rage were caused by something within her but we had no way to exterminate it. But we did count on Zeraora finding peace in some way. And she is lucky enough to encounter all of you."

"Rrr..." Even if that was the case, Zeraora still felt uneasy. The Thunderclap Pokemon could be seen twiddling her paws, feeling rather embarrassed. The relationship between her and the Swords of Justice was actually closer than expected for her to give out such a reaction.

"Aw, you don't have to feel embarrassed!" Rainbow Dash cackled. "I mean, you weren't like that before."

"It's a first, Rainbow Dash. After all, she's only at least around the same age as a child." Cobalion explained.

"Say what?! You mean...she's a kid?!" Rainbow Dash gasped. The Pokemon they were taking care of was not even considered mature. She was around the same age as someone like Sweetie Belle. The Ranger Union, Mustard and Kidd Summers never told them this. That makes her among the youngest of the group, meaning Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack exceeded her in terms of age and maturity.

"Indeed. So looking after her is of utmost importance. She can be left on her own until that rage within her is gone forever. In a sense, you're, how do you say, foalsitting her?"

"Ah..." Rainbow Dash scratched the back of her hair as she never expected to be taking care of a Child Pokemon. Zeraora didn't exactly look or sound like a child, but that was simply the nature of the Strange and Wonderful Creatures known as Pokemon.

"I can trust you all with her though. I can imagine those at the Ranger Union did the same. But I and the Swords will be checking in on Zeraora here and there, just to be sure."

"Um...Excuse us for a moment!" Celestia zipped over to Cobalion. "We'll be spending some time together. I've been waiting for this since the festival began. Anywhere to go?"

"I...wasn't thinking about heading elsewhere. I was mainly sent here by the Royal Family of the Crystal Empire."

"Well, I have the best place in mind!" Celestia squeed.

"Mind if I come along?" Putting on a cheeky smile was Twilight Moonlight, who would stare at Celestia in a certain way. Celestia knew she couldn't just leave while she was keeping Twilight Moonlight around.

"Right...I almost forgot..." Celestia sighed. "I regret dragging you along."

"It's not so bad. I got to see how you all battled and the way you act around each other. And I have to say...you're noisy. Every single one of you. I'm surprised you two are in the same boat as them." Moonlight gave her honest and harshest opinions. "Celestia. Luna. I thought you'd be more composed but, this seems to be a rowdy universe in general."

"Shows what you know..." Luna grizzled her teeth.

"Is that the Twilight Moonlight we've heard about?" Cobalion recognized that name but never the face. However, looking at her now revealed how much she looked like Twilight Sparkle.

"Maybe I could come along and see how you do romance. I don't expect anything spectacular or pleasant."

"Shows what you know..." Celestia said the same thing as Luna.

"I don't know. She has a point." Cobalion smiled, making Celestia gasp in shock as he agreed with Twilight Moonlight. "You have to admit, we work better when we're having fun instead of something romantic. Neither of us are exactly masters in romantic speech."

"Well...Yes." Celestia puffed her cheeks. "I never had the time for it for centuries and you...Well, you're so serious."

"I was sheltered my entire life as well, so perhaps I don't have room to speak. But I know one thing. This won't last." Twilight Moonlight smirked. "Your first love won't be your last. Perhaps you'll find someone else. Or never."

"Mhm..." Celestia grizzled her teeth before putting on a smile. She had something to say to Twilight Moonlight that would trump everything she's said. "Perhaps you're in the same boat too, Moonlight, since there's a good chance you'll never receive that either."

"Eh?"

"After all, you do have a lot of crimes around you. Right now, I'm only holding you until something can be done about you returning to your universe automatically. But if I had to guess, for all of your crimes and how long you'd be behind bars...The vandalization of historical structures would be 25 years. Violent Disorder, 5 years. Endangering the lives of others even if unintentionally, 7 years. Assault and attempting to destroy Ash would be Life. And trying to kidnap Ash and the others would also involve Life."

"Mmmrgh..." Twilight Moonlight was speechless as she couldn't say anything back to this. It had yet to sink in how much trouble she was in.

"But hey. Since you're the closest to our Twilight, perhaps you can become an alicorn down the road. So it won't be so bad~" Celestia winked.

"Geez. Was she always that harsh?" Rainbow Dask asked as this was a side of Celestia no one in Equestria has seen before. The words she was dishing out were super-effective and silenced Twilight Moonlight.

"I could...just leave and come back another time," said Cobalion. "Continue my duty and-"

"No, no, no! It's fine!" Celestia frantically shook her head. "Luna. I'm switching things over to you."

"Me?!" Luna pulled back as now she would be in charge of keeping her eyes on Twilight Moonlight. "How long are you even going to be gone? It's been 5 days and she only has four until her body returns to her own universe."

"You're not too busy, are you?" Celestia wiggled her eyebrows, hoping she could trust her little sister while she spends time with Cobalion.

"Don't pin this on me." Luna puffed her cheeks. "I already had to go through so much during the third Pokemon Festival! There is no chance I'm foalsitting this one while you spend some time with Cobalion!"

"I have a name, you know..."

"Fine, fine." Celestia sighed, understanding where Luna was coming from. "It hasn't been that long since the Black Crusade or even the Storm King. We have to reach a compromise. We can't risk locking Moonlight up, that much we know. So..."

"If you're struggling so much, I'll take over. Making her appearance under the endless Moon of Magehold was none other than Nightmare Moon. She crept out of the shadows, opting to be the one to watch over Twilight Moonlight."

"Oh, thank you! A thousand thanks!" Luna was relieved to hear that, putting her hooves together when facing her alter-ego. This would do just fine since Nightmare Moon isn't one to have a ton of fun.

"Do whatever it is you need to do." The alter-ego of Luna would wrap her magic around Celestia's overtaking it completely. Twilight Moonlight gasped as she had to deal with yet another alicorn keeping her captive.

"Time to go! We'll meet up at Canterlot~" Just like that, without wasting any time, Celestia flashed herself and Cobalion out of Magehold, heading elsewhere.

"I know where they're heading. But never mind that. Back to the topic of your Frontier Battle, Rainbow Dash."

"I almost forgot after what just happened." Rainbow Dash scratched her mane as everything that transpired here was rather stunning, to say the least. Once they were all gone, departing to Manehattan for the next Frontier Battle, Nightmare Moon would smirk while gazing at Twilight Moonlight.

"What...?"

"Twilight Moonlight, eh? Not a bad name. You'll be perfect for my team."

"T-Team?"

"Hehe." Nightmare Moon was still fixated on forming a team of her own even after reconciling with Luna. She wanted to be more than just Luna's alter-ego who lurks in the shadows and mainly shows up at night. Nightmare Moon had dreams even though she was made out of Luna's dreams. And unfortunately for Twilight Moonlight, she was going to be involved in that dream.

Unova. Eindoak Town. Afternoon.

All the while, Ash and his group were currently at Eindoak Town, which received its gateway back. Thanks to Lucas's actions, the bridge between Eindoak and the Human World was made once more, in the same spot too. It was only a matter of time before every area had gateway, just like the early days of the two worlds being one. The people of Eindoak were already gazing at the gateway with some of them planning on passing through it.

"Haah..." Lucas could be seen lying on the ground yet again while everyone else was having a picnic. His face touched the picnic blanket, groaning and grumbling. Poor Lucas couldn't even enjoy the food in the way he wants since his body has completely shut down at the moment. "I thought you said that syringe would soothe my pain."

"Sorry, Lucas, darling. I really thought it would!" Rarity apologized when sitting next to him. It was her idea to use the needle on him, hoping for a positive outcome. Alas, that was not the case. "It seems that it doesn't cover Cosmic Pain."

"Man...Enough is enough!" Lucas stood back up, roaring a the top of his lungs. "I can't feel my legs that often! It's not getting any better here, man! There's gotta be something I can do."

There was only one thing Lucas could do in this instance. Call for his friends. Whipping out his phone, Lucas would target Red and the others, who were currently elsewhere during the Pokemon Festival. The first person he called was none other than Brendan.

"Hey, Lucas. Glad you called. We only heard about you opening gateways here and there. Great job, buddy."

"Yeah, that's cool and all, but the outcome is not the best for me, Brendan."

"Why not?" Speaking through the phone was none other than Hilbert's voice as he ended up joining in. "You've got the power to open up gateways! How cool is that?!"

"It's not cool when you feel out of it afterwards. "Ever since I opened up my first gateway, it's been taking me out of it back to back and it's not getting any better. I need to fix this as soon as possible, but I don't know how."

"I don't know why you're calling me though...I don't think Red, Ethan or Hilda have the answer. "And I know for a fact Hilbert doesn't have it."

"Hey!"

"Figures..." Lucas sighed. "I just thought that since we're all technically the same, one of you guys would have something special inside of you. I've got Spatial Energy from Palkia so ya know..."

"Hmm...Maybe. Nothing's really happened to us though. I don't think we've got something special in us except for maybe Prisma's soul or something. But if something does come up, we'll let you know."

"Well, if it's not any of you...Maybe the others? What about Nate, Calem, Elio and Victor?" Lucas asked, bringing up four other trainers.

"Well, they're gonna have to show up here first." Brendan could be heard laughing through the phone. "I don't think any of them had plans to show up here. Except maybe Nate after he heard about what Hilbert and Hilda were gonna do."

"Is Nate here? Is he?!"

"Well, I wouldn't know. Haven't heard of him since we all left our own universes. We still can't go back to them yet which is a shame. But this place isn't so bad. Maybe you can open a gateway back home, so it's not all bad, actually."

"Hm-hm." Lucas slowly nodded his head. "Nate could be here, you say? Or he might not?" At that moment, Lucas was ready to hang up the call, having something in mind. "I haven't opened up a gateway to my own world yet so I could try that. But before that, I need to ring up Nate."

"Hold on. Not before you open up another gateway on this new day~" Rarity halted him.

"No thanks." Lucas grizzled his teeth. "That syringe of yours made me fall over longer than before, so I guess it had some effect. Whatever you're planning, I'm not hearing it, Rarity?"

"But I was going to think of the best possible place to take us! I've heard a lot about a place called Pegalysium! A place in the sky is just the most wonderful thought!"

"No way. Pegalysium? Pass on that. Plus you can't fly and you could totally fall through it!"

"That's why I'm counting on you, darling. I know for a fact you can drop me down at the right spot where I won't fall. Won't you?" Rarity slid over, poking Lucas in the face. She was trying to convince him but Lucas wasn't having any of it.

"Try all you want, you can't sway me...!" Lucas grimaced, leaning back while Rarity leaned forward. "Maybe Nate though, I don't know! I should really call him!"

"They're getting along well, aren't they?" Pinkie Pie said when watching Lucas and Rarity chat. Getting along also involved a bit of squabbling, according to Pinkie Pie.

"I don't even know where I'd put the next gateway..." Lucas grumbled while holding onto Rarity's wrists, keeping her at bay.

"Princess Celestia already decided on a spot to place it." Breaking it up was Twilight Sparkle, who got in between them. "Lucas. I'm sure we'll figure something out for you. Maybe another one of your friends does have the cure. If you're going to open a gateway to Pegalysium, you'll have to do it at Cloudsdale. So it'll still be in the sky."

"Right..." Lucas sighed, taking out his phone once more. He scrolled through the list of his friends, searching for Nate. When finding Nate's name, he would begin the call. "I was thinking of making a gateway back to my world. Maybe it won't hurt so bad..." The phone started ringing before finally receiving an answer. Lo and behold, Nate picked up the call but it was unknown as of now if it was from his own universe or this one. He was about to find out.

"Oh, great. Nate. I'm so glad you picked up, it's been a while." Lucas greeted. He was glad to hear from another friend and this time, he was hoping for some good news.

"Finally, someone called me," Nate spoke through the phone. "You have no idea what I've been doing so far."

"Well, same here. I mean, maybe you have. It's been making the news and I've been pretty popular. Unless you're in our original universe then nevermind."

"Oh, no. I'm here." But Nate revealed that he was indeed in this Universe. More of Ash's Counterparts were currently active.

"You have? How come we didn't hear from you then?" Lucas questioned.

"About that...Something happened. I didn't show up here by a gateway or something."

"You didn't? I figured you would've taken the Infinity Gateway or something. Are you saying yo got here before me? Did everyone get here before me?!"

"Nah...You're gonna have to here to see it, Lucas. I showed up here with raw power. But it was totally by accident. Right now, I'm in the weirdest place...There's a bunch of Dragons around but...not the ones I'm used to seeing. They're so different and I don't think they're Dragon-Types.

"Dragons? Are you in the Dragon Lands!" Twilight only knew of one area that fits Lucas's description. "Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine. Whoever this is. But uh...if Lucas could come over right now, that'd be cool. I tried calling the others but that was a bust."

"How come? You have their numbers, don't you?" But Lucas was sure that Nate would be able to call Red and the others.

"It was only recent, Lucas. My uh...Xtransceiver's been damaged and only your number's around. Help."

"No need to worry! I'm on my way!" Lucas hung up the call, knowing what he had to do. Pegalysium and his own world could wait. One of his friends needed help. "Alright! Nate showed up here with something else that wasn't a gateway! That can mean only one thing. He has something that might be able to help. I might be grasping at straws here, but we'll see. And if I get this whole wobbly issue down, then I'll open that gateway."

"If he's at Dragon Lands and needs help, I think I know what might be going on." Ash uttered, already having a good inkling as to what Nate might be going through. But he was only guessing. He'd have to see it for himself.

"Hang on! You haven't fully recovered yet, Lucas!" Twilight halted the Sinnohan Trainer. "You can't possibly be thinking of making a new gateway right now! Right...?"

"Hehe." He was indeed thinking about it. Lucas was ready to make another gateway without needing to wait. Much like Ash, he jumps into action when he sees fit, even at the risk of his own health. And when it comes to his friends, he'll get to work as soon as possible. And as a bonus, Nate had something special.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 350 End.
