My Little Pokémon: Grander World

False Happiness

Equestria. Ponyville. Afternoon.

Over at Ponyville, that egg that Blissey became wasn't as peaceful as it seemed. Upon reacting to small instances of negativity, it took action, turning those involved with those instances into eggs. Mild disagreements, childish banter and petty shopkeep arguments were all targeted.

"Woah! Ah!" Ash bellowed, immediately jumping and moving his legs frantically as rays of light came flying down. The Egg, seeing Ash as the biggest threat here, intended to turn him into an egg. "Ah! Oh! What gives?!"

"Why's it doing this?" Starlight wondered.

"Whatever the reason is, it's not cool!" Rainbow Dash roared while being an egg. "Turn me back already?!"

"Let's not rush it." Discord approached Rainbow Dash, picking her up in her contained state. "I'm a bit offended that it would hit me out of nowhere, but..."

"Blissey, stop it!" Pinkie Pie tried speaking to Blissey, but it was unclear if this was her doing it. However, the fact that the egg reacted to Ash made it clear that there was something there. "There's no way this is the Blissey"

Ash kept moving, doing everything in his power to avoid these rays of light. However, right as one of them got incredibly close enough to touch Ash, saving him was Twilight, who used a ray of magic to conjure up a shield. Her shield materialized around Ash in the nick of time.

The ray of light hit the shield, making it ripple before bouncing off. The remaining rays of light crashed into the barrier before bouncing off as well. Afterwards, they came to a halt, dissipating into the atmosphere.

"Phew...Thanks, Twilight."

"Turns us back already! You can do that, can't you Discord?!" Rainbow Dash would yell, along with those who have been turned into eggs. Frantic jumping from all of them was done as it was all so squeaky thanks to their miniscule forms.

"Oh, I don't know..." Discord shifted his eyes from left to right rapidly.

"Discord." But Fluttershy wanted it done immediately as this contained form was just unpleasant for them all.

"Alright, alright. But I would if I could. Honestly. That thing diminished some of my magic and it'll take a while for it to recover." Discord admitted. "You're going to have to wait."

"Why'd it suddenly turn them into eggs? What was the reason?"

"Whatever it is, it still doesn't change things." The shopkeepers from before spoke to each other. "You still have some nerve trying to sabotage my prices."

"I wasn't planning to sabotage you." The other Shopkeeper said. "It was all true though. They would've flocked to me instead." It seemed that the bickering wouldn't stop even when being turned to eggs.

"That's ridiculous. I-" As soon as she tried getting another word in, a mystical glow pulsated from the egg, immediately cutting her sentence. "You know what...It doesn't matter."

"Hah! I win! After this, I'll-" But very soon, he would be hit with the same pulse, stopping any boasting he had ready. "You're right. Why does it matter?"

"Strange..." Twilight observed this sudden change. It's as if their argument came to an immediate end. She then turned to face the children who fought over the toy, asking them a question. "Kids. What were you doing before you were turned to eggs?"

"Krookodile showed us this awesome toy the Pokemon use sometimes. I wanted to try it out and see what the Pokemon see, but you guys got way to obsessive over it, so we started arguing."

"I got obsessive? You kept going on about it." One of the kids replied. "If you wanted something like that, you should've gone to Ms Potion Nova's class. That's what you get for skipping school~"

"What?! I-" His words were cut short too, blocked by that Faye pulse. Just like the shopkeepers, he had a smile on his face and a warm voice. "I guess I can wait it out. I'll have to say sorry to Ms Nova too."

"You...You're right." The other kids felt the same, ceasing any other explosive words. "It's just a toy..."

"I think I got it!" Twilight figured it out based on what she's seen. These two interactions all had one thing in common. Arguments. "It's a Blissey's natural instinct to make others happy, but this Blissey, or I guess this Egg, takes it to the extreme. It silences any conflict by turning others into eggs, giving them a soothing feeling."

"So, it's forcing happiness?" Ash asked while still in the shield.

"Not just that. I bet its main purpose is to eliminate anything that is seen as a threat to happiness. Discord wasn't in an argument. He just showed up to Ponyville and it attacked him. Most likely, it sees him as a threat."

"...Most likely?" Discord was rather insulted by that. He felt that it was guaranteed that he was a threat. Not Most Likely.

"That's probably why his Chaos Magic got diminished in that instance. And as for Ash...It's either Sombra's spirit or Prisma's Soul inside of him that made the Egg react. Or both." Twilight theorized and she was very much on the mark.

"But why? That doesn't sound like what a Blissey would do. A Blissey makes others happy in the best way. How come the villagers didn't talk about this egg thing?" Pinkie Pie couldn't understand it at all. "This isn't making me happy at all."

"What do we do then? I mean, if Blissey knows this and if she can hear us, why isn't she stopping?" Fluttershy wondered.

"I say we crack the egg and find out!" Applejack was opting to shatter the egg. "Open it up and then she's gotta say something."

"I'm with that. Let's do it!" Roseluck and the other ponies were in mass agreement. Cracking the egg was agreed by many of its residents who wouldn't let anything threaten their home. No matter what.

"Now, hold on. Let's not-" Before Twilight could say anything, it was far too late. The other ponies took immediate action against the egg.

"Stoutland, use Giga Impact!"

"Sceptile, Frenzy Plant!"

"Roserade, Petal Blizzard!" Starting with Mayor Mare, Applejack and Roseluck, a combination of attacks were thrown forward by multiple Pokemon. Rising roots, a fierce charge, a storm of petals and many other attacks were seen flying in. Twilight closed her eyes as all of the attacks crashed right into the egg, causing a fierce outburst of Infinity Energy.

"Sweet! Direct hit!" Rainbow Dash cheered. A hit like that was sure to kerfuffle anyone else due to how direct it was. But as the smoke started to clear, it was revealed that the best they did was make it wobble a lot. No visible damage was done to i. Not a crack. Not even a scratch. "No way!"

"All we did was just wobble it? How?" Amethyst Star uttered. Based on how it was easily wobbling and bouncing from light touches earlier, she thought that attacks that powerful would do something even greater.

"Is it really even soft...?" Sweetie Belle gawked.

But just as all the smoke vanished, the Egg paid notice to the attacks done on it. More action was done from it, specifically in response to the attacks. The whole thing started glowing, letting out a deep pink glow. The way the colour was deepening and the energy was gathering made it feel like something explosive was building up.

The sound it made also sounded like a strong build-up. And in that instance, Twilight sensed a familiar energy. Rift Energy. The Princess of Friendship gasped before turning to face everyone who unleashed an attack on it as she bellowed at the top of her lungs.

"Look out!" In a flash, the Egg released more of its pink rays, this time in rapid succession and greater abundance, specifically targeting the Trainers and Pokemon that struck it. Twilight was too late to protect everyone as they were all collectively struck by the rays.

Roseluck screeched after being consumed by the light, feeling her body morph in to the shape of an egg immediately. The same went for her Roserade who was too slow to do anything.

"Aww, come on!" Roseluck groaned.

Sceptile immediately used Leaf Blade on the incoming ray of light, only to be transformed regardless. Coming into contact with it was more than enough to transform his body. "Tile?!" Back-to-back egg transformations were done as Ponyville was gaining more and more eggs and no one was quick enough to stop them.

Just like that, all the attackers were in a compromised position. Perceived as a threat, they wouldn't be attacking anyone else in this state, being vulnerable themselves. The last one to be turned into an egg was Apple Bloom, who dropped onto the ground, wobbling.

"Guess that wasn't the best move..." Applejack grumbled as her approach failed miserably.

"No fair!" Scootaloo groaned. "We get to attack first and we lose?!"

"Rapidash..." Rapidash sighed as his large stature now meant nothing as an Egg.

"Well, at least we know that won't work." Twilight went over to her friends, towering over them. "It perceived all of you as a threat as soon as you attacked it. Anything that can and will threaten it and others will be dealt with."

"That's a shame." Mayor Mare spoke. "But! For the sake of our town, it had to be done. We've faced far too many threats here, especially in succession, so we weren't going to take any chances."

"Well, that does it!" Pinkie Pie crossed her hooves. "No one's gonna keep turning my friends into eggs! Especially boiled ones! Why not fried?"

"Ew, you like fried eggs?" Carrot Top felt like gagging after hearing that.

"Don't Pinkie!" Twilight halted Pinkie Pie before she could do anything else. "Do anything else and it might turn you into an egg too! It'll perceive you as a threat."

"But there's no way. Blissey came here for me, you and Rarity. She wouldn't turn us into eggs and see us as a threat, right?"

"Not Blissey. But the egg itself. I sensed it when it was building all of those rays. Blissey's come into contact with Rift Energy and that's probably how this Egg Form came to be."

"Rift Enery again? Honestly. Why can't it be something new? Like average cosmic energy?" Rarity groaned as she was personally getting tired of Rift Energy.

"The best thing to do is to be peaceful around it. But that'll be tough since one wrong move will aggro it." Twilight faced the egg, narrowing her eyes with a determined expression. She was mainly thinking about how to handle it without any conflict and a part of that involved reaching Blissey herself. Of course, that also meant entering the egg which was on her mind.

Just then, at that moment, the egg started to move. No longer was staying stationary and unleashing light rays. This time, it was on the move. "Huh? Hey!" Quickly dialling Twilight's plans back, the Egg would do the unexpected as it began turning its body. Like a bowling pin, it fell over and like a massive boulder, it started rolling.

Right before everyone's the Egg was rolling across the ground for an unknown reason. "Wait! Where's it going?!" Twilight bellowed as the rolling of the egg was rather swift for something so massive.

"It won't get away!" Rarity dug into her saddlebag, instinctively ready to unleash Pheromosa. However, she soon remembered that Pheromosa was in the Pokemon Center. Remembering this, her body shuddered and froze for a moment. "Oh...That's right!"

"We'll catch up to it!" Ash would break through Twilight's shield, finally freeing himself. He didn't have to worry about being turned to an egg since the main one was going elsewhere. For what reason? They were about to find out for themselves. "Dragonite, I choose you!"

"Dragonite!"

"Get us to that egg!" Mayor Mare bounced along with the other Egg-turned residents. They weren't about to stick around and let that Egg get away.

Discord still had some Chaos Magic. And it was enough to generate a basket just for all the eggs. With a flick of his finger, he made the ground beneath them turn into a catapult, launching them into the air. Mayor Mare and the others screamed when launched by the Ground Catapult before falling back into basket. As a bonus, they were neatly packed is if they were a carton of eggs.

"You're so lucky we're soft..." Rainbow Dash grizzled her teeth at Discord. If their bodies weren't as wobbly as the main egg, that would've ended horribly

"Dragonite! Stop that Egg!" Ash said while hopping on Dragonite's back. Joining him were Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity who also hopped onto the Dragon Pokemon's back. For assistance, Discord rubbed his limbs together, kickstarting a cluster of sparks that he would drop onto the cart. Rainbow Dash and all the other Egg Ponies scrunched and grimaced their faces once they saw the sparks fall, but thankfully, it was not to harm them.

Instead, the sparks would act as fuel for the cart despite it not needing fuel. But such was the lawless law of Chaos Magic as the Cart could be heard revving up after receiving these sparks.

"Wait up! Go, Sala-" But as soon as Spike was ready to join them, he heard a familiar cry. It moved across the atmosphere of Ponyville, making his body freeze. It was none other than cry of Rayquaza. The cry of the Sky High Pokemon only reached Spike's ears and no one else's. Rayquaza was calling for him. "Rayquaza...?" Because of this, everyone went off, pursuing that egg.

---

The Egg was moving beyond Ponyville, leaving its outskirts immediately and into the wild. It would make sure not to harm anyone along the way, avoiding nearby Pokemon. But that didn't change the fact that it can be a bit hostile in the presence of something slightly negative.

"Where's it heading to?!" Ash asked Twilight who was flying beside Dragonite

"Hah! Maybe it's scared of us!" Rainbow Dash boasted and cackled while Discord was carrying them through the air, pulling the cart. Her laughter would soon diminish once she felt the rockiness of this aerial movement.

"For it to start moving like this...Maybe Blissey's found someone else!" Twilight theorized. "That has be to be the only reason! Whoever it is in danger!"

"Like them!" Rarity aimed her hoof in the distance, pointing at a group of Pokemon in the wild. Pokemon are no strangers to disagreements here and there, much like everyone else But unfortunately for these Pokemon, the Egg would solve their issue in a compromised state.

"Bonsly!" It was an argument between a Bonsly and a Maractus, with an Eevee and other Pokemon trying to break up this argument. But the egg would do it for them. With impressive aim, even while moving, the egg would launch Fairy Rays at them, ending this argument. Like the others, they were now just eggs. "Bonsly..."

The egg would not stop there. By making a quick turn, it would detect another source of negativity elsewhere. It rolled across a lake, leaving behind ripples and sending multiple water droplets into the air.

"That's where it's headed next!" Twilight saw where its next destination was. Lo and behold, it was an example of predator and prey. The fierce rivalry between Seviper and Zangoose persisted to this day, no matter the location.

But even the Egg wished to see this rivalry come to an end. Right as the two of them were about to clash for dominance, they were interrupted by a large ray which caught them both. The second they got close, their Egg bodies would hit each other, bouncing and wobbling.

"If this keeps up, it might turn everyone in the wild into eggs! That'll leave them vulnerable to be eaten!" Fluttershy gulped. She knew some Pokemon who absolutely loved eggs and this was not a good look.

"Pokemon eat eggs?" Rarity uttered.

"Some do! Sevipers eat eggs! Feraligators and the Krookodile line like them and the Snorlax line will eat anything!" Fluttershy shuddered with fear. "Twilight! Please tell me you can turn them back!"

"First we have to catch that egg before anything else! But it's not eve paying attention to us anymore! It's just going around targeting anything negative!" Twilight exclaimed as she and the others watched the egg snipe a group of Pokemon from a far distance. The range on that was absolutely insane.

"Guess we're gonna have to get hostile! That way, it'll have to recognize us! Sorry, Twilight! Dragonite, use Hyper Beam!"

"Drago...Nite!" From her mouth, Dragonite unleashed a fierce blast of Infinity Energy which tore through the air. Intercepting the egg's movements, the Hyper Beam crashed into the ground, seting off a wild explosion. This explosions was obviousy noticed by the Egg as it perceived this as a threat.

A threat to nature. An attack like that would naturaly cause problems if it hit the wrong group and Ash knew this. It was the only way to get the egg's attention. It woud stop rolling, standing upright. And while it didn't have any eyes, it felt like the egg was looking right at Ash's group.

"Missed it by that much." Discord thought Ash inteded to hit the egg but missed.

"Alright! We've got it's attention!" Ash pumped his fist before seeing the Egg turn deep red. From its body, that fearsome blast was unleashed once more, but this time, they were ready. "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"

"Pikaa...Chuuuu!" From his body, 100,000 volts came crashing down from the sky, clashing with the beam. Pikachu's Thunderbolt entered a struggle with it before both attacks cancelled out. After equalizing, Ash would grab Pikachu whilst he fell, saving him.

Once the clash was a tie, the egg kept moving whie also erraticaly shooting pink rays into the sky, attempting to hit Ash and only Ash. No one else. Dragonite kept moving as well, pursuing the egg while stylishly soaring through the skies and avoiding some of the rays.

As it gained momentum, the egg picks up speed, hurtling through a nearby forest with the force of a runaway boulder, leaving a trail of shimmering light in its wake. Nearby Pokemon watched in amazement when seeing the pink rays light up the sky. It was beautiful, even if it was also dangerous.

In its wake, the forest comes alive with whispers of wonder and awe, as creatures great and small emerge from their hiding places to witness the spectacle unfolding before them. Flying-Types take flight from the treetops, their wings beating in rhythm with the egg's steady advance, while Buneary and Deerling dart through the underbrush, their eyes wide with curiosity.

As the Egg kept going, the landscape begins to shift and change, the towering trees giving way to a vast expanse of rolling hills and sun-dappled meadows. In the distance, the sparkling waters of an unknown place no one has seen before would appear.

"What is that...?" Amethyst Star spoke and she and the others would all gawk at the sight before them. They couldn't believe their eyes.

Up ahead was a Sea of Eggs.

This Sea of Eggs stretched as far as the eye can see, even from this height, its surface rippling with mainy pinkish lights. The eggs bob gently upon the surface of the enchanted waters, their size was noticeably smaller than the main egg which was absolutely huge.

As the Egg of Blissey moves through the strange forest, it drifted towards the Sea of Eggs, drawn by the soothing embrace of its tranquil waters. Here, amidst the shimmering expanse of iridescent orbs, the egg came to a halt, no longer moving.

The group now had more questions than answers that they needed. However, while many of them were amazed by what they were seeing so far, Ash and Twilight each had a different reaction.

Both of their eyes lit up as they immediately gained flashbacks. These were beyond lightspeed flashbacks, moving faster than they could perceive. But from what they could tell, there was a strong familiarity with this area. And for Twilight, the familiarity was even stronger for her. The words that came from her mouth next added this.

"I've...been here before."

As the journey continues.

Chapter 433 End.
