My Little Pokémon: Grander World

by Amarvax

The True Rainbow Falls

The Human World. Rainbow Falls. The Underwater Garden. Afternoon.

The true Rainbow Falls. Located underneath the Waterpark with the same name, it led to an Underwater Garden where Alpha Kirlia and presumably the other Alpha Pokemon are.

Rainbow Garden was an enchanting underwater oasis, connected to Prisma and Twilight Luminara in some way based on what Ash, Red and Sci-Twi felt.

They were all greeted by an explosion of rainbow-based colours that danced and shimmered in the gentle currents. The sea floor is carpeted with a lush carpet of rainbow-coloured seaweed, their fronds swaying gracefully with the ebb and flow of the water.

Towering above the swaying seaweed are clusters of coral reefs, each one a masterpiece of colour and texture. Brilliantly hued coral formations in shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet create a stunning backdrop against which the marine life of Rainbow Falls plays out its daily existence.

Wandering through the Rainbow Garden, visitors encounter an endless array of underwater flora and fauna, each more dazzling than the last. Anemones of every colour imaginable cling to the rocks and coral formations, their delicate tentacles waving gently in the current. Sea fans unfurl like delicate fans and yet no Pokemon has been seen as of yet.

"Pika..." Pikachu got near the waters, placing his hand in it and feeling the coolness. "Pikachu."

"Wow! How long has this been down here?" Fluttershy would kneel, getting close to the water as well.

"Do we have any Poke Balls?!" Adagio questioned, needing to know if Poke Balls were available right now.

"I brought Ash's bag and stuffed everyone's Poke Balls inside." Sonata came prepared, holding Ash's bag up. "It's a bit wet though. Sorry, Ash."

"Oh! Up ahead! I think I see Kirlia!" Pinkie Pie would point onwards, immediately spotting Alpha Kirlia.

As they peered ahead, they could indeed see Alpha Kirlia, her graceful form illuminated by the gentle glow of the chamber. She seemed to float effortlessly in the water while also laughing at them. As Alpha Kirlia fluttered away, her laughter echoed through the underwater chamber, filling the space with a playful energy. "Lia! Kirlia!"

"Wait!" Twilight cried out. "Kirlia!"

They followed Alpha Kirlia deeper into the chamber, navigating through winding passageways and glittering coral reefs. The light from her aura guided their way, illuminating the path.

"She's not as aggressive as most Alpha Pokemon. She seems playful, actually." Rarity noticed how different Alpha Kirlia was to the rest.

"Probably just a trap." Rainbow Dash felt uneasy about this, believing that Kirlia was luring them into a trap since she has been down here before.

"Who cares?! This is a golden opportunity for me!" Adagio could care less. Not when there was a Kirlia up for grabs.

As the chase continued, Alpha Kirlia led the group through a series of underwater platforms, darting effortlessly from one to the next with her graceful movements.

They encountered narrow passageways lined with jagged rocks and twisting tunnels obscured by thick seaweed. Alpha Kirlia effortlessly navigated through these obstacles, her graceful movements allowing her to glide effortlessly through the water.

The group, however, found themselves challenged by the maze of underwater platforms and obstacles. They had to carefully maneuver through narrow gaps and dodge protruding rocks, all while keeping pace with the elusive Alpha Kirlia. The further they went, the more Ash, Red and Sci-Twi recognized this area.

"This place kinda reminds me of the Sea Temple. But it's not a temple at all..." To Ash, this was similar to the Sea Temple. This area reminded him of the Sea Temple mainly instead of anything from Prisma's past. The platforms here had certain designs that looked like they could come straight from the Sea Temple.

As they kept moving, Ash and Red were suddenly receiving more than just visions in their minds. When looking to the side, they gained visions that materialized in the area itself. The duo gasped as they saw faint visages of what appeared to be Prisma himself.

There, Prisma stood as a vision. A mirage even. The two of them couldn't tell what he was doing but they could see a certain action being pulled off and it was being done against someone else who wasn't as clear. And this would not be the last vision they saw.

Moving through the sections, they continued to see more visions of Prisma. They passed by a bioluminescent grotto that showed the visage of Prisma ripping something from the ground itself, but they just couldn't make it all out. Then, when leaving this section, the next section was an archway. This time, the vision of Prisma was close to them as they would also pass by the archway.

They watched as Prisma walked through the Archway, carrying some sort of crystal with him. It was a rather large crystal and its design looked familiar to Ash's eyes. It strongly resembled the Sea Temple Crystals even if the image was faint.

Moving to another section, they found structures in this underwater area. This section of Rainbow Falls was characterized by towering columns of coral that rise majestically from the sea floor These natural formations resembled the arches and spires of a grand cathedral, adorned with colourful corals and delicate sea fans.

"Is that...A Cathedral?" Sci-Twi came to an immediate halt. Everyone gazed at the sight before, taken aback as they didn't expect to find structures down here.

"People used to be here? No way." Aria spoke. Ash and Red stared, getting another vision of Prisma in this cathedral. There, they saw their incarnation walking in it with the crystal, seemingly reaching his destination.

"Imagine the history behind this place," Rarity remarked, her eyes tracing the intricate patterns etched into the coral walls. "It must have been a bustling underwater metropolis at one time, I bet."

"Over there! Look!" Rainbow Dash spotted Kirlia once more, this time at the altar of this cathedral. Right next to her were the other Alpha Pokemon.

Alpha Vespiquen, Alpha Machoke, Alpha Whiscash and Alpha Carnivine. Four of them were spotted, but there was no sign of Alpha Sliggoo. Not only that, but these Alpha Pokemon were all trapped in ice blocks. The sight of the frozen Alpha Pokemon sent a wave of concern through the group. They hurried toward the altar, their footsteps echoing softly in the underwater cathedral.

Ash and Red then saw Prisma stop in front of this cathedral as he was looking at someone. It was another human, surrounded by 10 more Humans. Each of them were dressed in a certain way that also brought some familiarity. Ash wished he could see the visions clearly but he could at least theorize.

And from what he could decipher, there was a blue theme going on with these people. Could these also be People of the Water, much like the ones he knows? The fact that this all took place underwater was leaning Ash towards that possibility.

"Don't tell me Kirlia froze them too! Why?!" Sci-Twi wondered. "And hold on...Doesn't that mean there's 6 Alpha Pokemon here instead of 5? I don't see Sliggoo anywhere..."

"Yeah. Where's Sliggoo?" Ash noticed a lack of Sliggo as well as he was no longer gaining visions of Prisma. The same went for Red.

"Kirlia...!" Kirlia grinned. She was very much responsible for this but the reason was unknown.

"Hold on, Adagio!" Sci-Twi got in the way, halting her before she could make a move. "Something's not right here."
"Little trickster. You won't be laughing once we catch you."

Adagio halted in her tracks, her gaze fixed on Alpha Kirlia as she floated near the frozen Alpha Pokemon. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice tinged with impatience.

"It's a bit odd that Kirlia isn't exactly aggressive. Well, not in the usual sense. She tried freezing us back on the surface and she's already frozen these four. If she wanted to, she could do it again to us right now, but she hasn't."

"Kirlia? Why are you doing this?" Fluttershy asked.

"Lia. Kirlia." To their surprise, Kirlia actually answered, having more restraint than the average Alpha Pokemon. Perhaps it was that Psychic mind. When following her arm, she pointed at Ash, Red, Adagio, Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer specifically, singling each of them out.

"Us?" They each said, minus Red.

"Why us?" Sunset Shimmer questioned. "What did we do?"

"Lia. Kirlia."

"Mmm..." Fluttershy scrunched her face, wishing she could understand Kirlia just like her Equestrian Counterpart. "I wish I could understand her right now."

"She said it's because of our feelings." But there was someone who could translate for them all. It was Twilight. Everyone looked at her as her eyes were flashing a bit with Fairy Matter. "When she saw what was happening with us, she-" Sci-Twi came to an immediate halt when she realized where her next batch of words might go.

"She what?" Aria wanted to hear the full sentence.

"W-Well...I'm just saying what's roughly being given to me! Ahahaha!" Sci-Twi would nervously blush. "B-Basically! Sunset and Adagio fighting over Red is what caused it! That's it! Kirlia responded to their emotions since, you know, she's the Emotion Pokemon and all."

By saying that, Sci-Twi managed to avoid involving herself and Ash. She knew she was also the reason since she was trying to get Ash's attention.

"She started it!" Adagio pinned the blame on Sunset Shimmer in a heartbeat.

"Hey! It was just a game, that's all!" Sunset would cross her arms. "A little competition! It's not like I actually like him that way! I mean, I do but...Nevermind!"

"Same here! I was just testing him, that's all!" Adagio tried sugarcoating it as well. "It's not what you think. Definitely not!"

"Either way, Kirlia was trying to stop all of that." Twilight faced the Emotion Pokemon once more. "I guess she's just extreme when it comes to what she does. That's different from most Alpha Pokemon who just act on aggression. But what did these four Pokemon do? And where's Sliggoo?"

"Kirlia." Kirlia would descend. There was a reason for all of this. But she wouldn't be able to answer it immediately. Instead, she would have to take them somewhere. The Emotion Pokemon told them all to come along, taking them somewhere else that wasn't the cathedral. This place was empty and abandoned after all, having nothing to offer, other than the mysteries behind it.

---

They went straight to the north of this area, finding themselves in another section, which was by far the biggest section. The closer they got, the more Ash and Red's eyes were beginning to gain more visions. This might be the biggest one yet.

At the heart of Rainbow Falls lies an area with prismatic colours, a tranquil oasis surrounded by an unknown material. Here, the waters are crystal clear, allowing sunlight to penetrate and create mesmerizing patterns of light and shadow on the sandy seabed below. The waters were completely prismatic.

"Kirlia!" Kirilia introduced them all to it.

"She says...This is the Prism Oastl." Twilight Sparkle translated thanks to Kirlia using Fairy Matter to speak with her.

"Wow, this place is incredible!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, her eyes wide with wonder as she took in the breathtaking sight.

"It's so beautiful," Fluttershy murmured, her voice filled with awe as she gazed around the oasis.

"I've never seen water like this before," Sunset Shimmer remarked, her gaze lingering on the shimmering hues of the oasis. "It's Prismatic...How?"

"I bet it has all kinds of flavours!" Pinkie Pie was already thinking about tasting the water. The way it appeared wasn't just mesmerizing but also delicious. It reminded her of certain sweets that come in various colours. Whether individually or together.

"Gross! Don't taste it!" Rainbow Dash bellowed, causing Pinkie Pie to freeze in place, staving her curiosity.

"But I can!" Being a Siren, Sonata could taste the water without suffering any drawbacks. That is until Aria pulled her back, not being so sure about this.

"As if. We've never seen water like this," said Aria. "Who knows what this water is? Strange waters are never a good sign. Period."

"Then this is something else from the Lost Universe that showed up. Not just the mansion." Sci-Twi said. "Ash. Red. What do you think think?"

Meanwhile, Ash and Red were both stunned by what they were seeing. Once again, relating to Prisma, this struck a chord in their memories. They were a bit zoned out when looking at the oasis, obviously feeling some sort of way.

At that moment, they both felt a barrage of memories hit their head. Those visions from before that they saw were starting to come together. They saw Prisma once more.

"Lia. Kirlia." Kirlia then started speaking to Twilight, explaining everything she could to them.

"You gained knowledge from the oasis by entering it?" Twilight translated. It turns out that Kirlia learned quite a bit by entering that oasis. And potentially, her reason for being less aggressive might be because of this oasis.

"Kirlia!"

"Keep them from entering the oasis?" She translated once more, turning her heads to Ash and Red who were still staring. Kirlia knew that these two being close to the oasis would bring trouble without a doubt.

"Okay, you two. I think you've looked at it enough." Sci-Twi held Ash's arm, pulling him back while Sunset pulled Red back.

"Is Sliggoo in there?" Aria wondered if this is where Sliggo was since so far, no one has seen it at all in this underwater area. A frown suddenly met Kirlia's face as she knew the answer to that too.

Just then, right on cue, the pool would start bubbling, sending out small rainbow bubbles. However, something was wrong as Ash and Red immediately felt it. Everyone turned to the oasis, hearing a sound coming from it. The bubbles were increasing in size with each moment, growing in numbers.

And suddenly, emerging from it was a giant submarine which splashed the Prism Water. The group gasped as they were not the only ones here. Kirlia immediately put up a shield around everyone, protecting them from the water. She knew that no matter what, their bodies should not come into contact with the Prismatic Water.

"A Submarine?! Who is that?!" Sunset Shimmer squinted her eyes as the Prismatic Water reflected off the barrier, almost as if it was sunlight.

"Well. Looks like fate just can't keep us away, can it? How annoying?" A familiar voice came from the submarine when it was opening up. Ash and Twilight collectively gasped as the woman emerging from it was also dressed for the waterpark, having her own swimsuit. She was aware of this location after all as it was none other than the Pokemon Hunter herself.

J.

"J!" Ash cried out her name. Alas, J did indeed beat them here, even if no Alpha Pokemon were caught yet.

"A part of me was expecting you. I'm so irritated that I was right, but it looks like I have that Kirlia to blame too." She looked at Kirlia, already being familiar with her. "You just had to find them and bring them along, didn't you?"

"Kirlia...!"

"I haven't forgotten about you, Kirlia. You think you can keep the other Alpha Pokemon from me? Not for long." J grinned as she still had her Protean Vambrance on her arm even when wearing a swimsuit.

The girls either looked in fear or snarled at Hunter J, who simply snarled back. This encounter in the Underwater Garden was rather unexpected, especially in a place related to Prisma and Twilight Luminaria. Sci-Twi shuddered a bit, feeling some fear, but she quickly gained confidence.

"Where's Sliggoo?!" Ash questioned.

"Being a hard one to get close to. That's all. But no matter. Regretfully, I'm not going to engage with you all that much. Too much of a hassle." Hunter J shrugged. "Plus, I even brought my best swimsuit for this. So, I'll just let something else handle it."

"Something else?" Sunset Shimmer repeated.

"It's so wonderful the two of you showed up." Just then, J's gaze met with Ash and Red's specifically. She knew one crucial thing based on past events. She knew who Prisma was. "How about you do the dirty work for me? And bring him out."

Wasting no time, Hunter J shot an energy from her vambrace. But instead of targeting Ash and the others, she specifically targeted the oasis. And the energy she used was specifically Dragon-Type Infinity Energy. Everyone looked around them as the Dragon Matter was appearing.

The waters would swirl violently, sending splashes everywhere while also exuding Dragon Matter from them. At last, the Dragon Matter made its appearance, but it came from J of all people. The girls held onto each other as the ground as the Dragon Matter was beginning to crack the ground.

The water would rapidly fly at Twilight, threatening to cover her, only for Pikachu to intercept with a Thunderbolt!" Pikachuuu!" He cried out, shooting 100,000 volts at the water. But it was not over. While he stopped one, more were suddenly beginning to rise from the ground, as if they were geysers.

Kirlia tried acting as fast as possible but was immediately knocked upwards by the Prismatic Geysers. "Kirlia!" Because of this, Ash and Red were covered in the Prismatic Waters as it erupted underneath them.

"Ash! Red!" All of them said once they were caught by it. J grinned, successfully covering them thanks to the energy she used. Now, there was only one thing left to do.

"You two have Prisma's soul in you. I think I'll do what Daybreaker did and have you weaken them for me with enough rage." J spoke. "But this time, you'll be targeting them instead. You'll have no choice after all."

"Gghhh!" Ash groaned, holding his head as he could hear that familiar sound again. The sound of Prisma. It sounded like a heartbeat but with tons of aggression, going on with no end. It made Ash's head ring along with Red, who was clenching fists.

"Why you...!" Genuinely offended by that, Adagio snarled at Hunter J, who would get back in her submarine and let the Dragon Matter run wild in here.

Deep within, the soul of Prisma was ringing. Louder and louder. Faster and faster. The water here was reacting to the soul within, solidifying that connection they had. Kirlia fell down after being launched by the geyser, taking some damage in the process. She was too late to prevent this as she knew what was coming next.

This would be similar to what Daybreaker did. However, in J's case, she was letting Ash and Red do all the work for her instead, taking advantage of their strengths. And with seemingly no way to stop this, it looked like it was about to happen here in Rainbow Falls.

Prisma's Second Awakening.

As the tension mounted and the Dragon Matter surged around them, the group braced themselves for what was to come. Ash and Red, their minds clouded by the relentless call of Prisma's soul, felt their emotions boiling over, their hearts pounding even faster.

"J...!" Just then, Ash spoke J's name. But his voice was different, almost as if there was someone else speaking through him. An unfamiliar voice to Twilight and her friends came through. But it was not a new one. It was the voice of Prisma.

"No... We can't let this happen!" Sunset Shimmer exclaimed, her eyes blazing with determination as she watched her friends struggle against the influence of Prisma's soul.

"Kirlia...!" Kirlia grunted while getting back up, immediately speaking to Twilight Sparkle. Right now, there was nothing no one could do. Except for Twilight herself.

"You want me to go in there?" Twilight translated as Kirlia wanted her to enter the waters. "But isn't that dangerous?!"

"Kir. Kirlia." Kirlia explained that since Twilight had Fairy Matter in her as opposed to Dragon Matter, she would be fine. These two forms of matter were the complete opposite of each other after all and one was made to counter the other.

Sci-Twi was the only one who could safely enter it right now. Everyone else would be at great risk if they dare interact with it. Something had to be done while Ash and Red were struggling. Kirlia also wanted everyone else to make sure Ash and Red never come into further contact with the water at all costs. That would just make things worse.

"You have to go in, Twilight!" Sunset encouraged. "Whatever's in there, maybe it can help!"

"B-But..." Sci-Twi stuttered.

Twilight hesitated, looking at all of her friends. Entering a body of water involved with such a destructive force was not something she ever anticipated, especially with Hunter J down there. And when looking at Ash struggling, she did not wish to see him in such a state.

Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, Twilight nodded resolutely. "Alright, I'll do it. But everyone needs to stay close and be ready to help if anything goes wrong."

"You'll need these!" Sonata brought over Ash's bag which had all the Poke Balls inside. Immediately, she emptied the bag of everyone else's Poke Balls except for Sci-Twi's giving her the bag. Having her own Pokemon support her was very much needed right now.

"Thanks." She grabbed the bag before standing before the waters. Not only that, but she also felt Kirlia's hands touch her leg. She truly wasn't going at it alone. Not when her Pokemon and Kirlia would be here. "Kirlia?"

"Kir..." Even if injured, Kirlia was still immune to the Dragon Matter thanks to being a Fairy-Type. Not only that, she also had some control over the Fairy Matter which was a bonus. Kirlia was coming along and she was not going to restrain herself.

"Okay. Here goes." Taking one last look back at Ash, Sci-Twi would descend into the waters, jumping right into the Prismatic Oasis with Kirlia.
.
As she descended into the shimmering depths, the waters surrounded her, their iridescent glow casting a surreal light on her surroundings. She focused on the task at hand, pushing aside any doubts or fears that threatened to hold her back. Immediately, the water within started reacting to her presence.

The inside of it was as stellar as it was on the outside. Everything here was prismatic but not only that, she could see the Dragon Matter too. No wonder Kirlia didn't want anyone else but her and Sci-Twi to enter it. Ash and Red could enter it but there was a reason beyond that. And very soon, Sci-Twi will find out.

Sci-Twi also noticed how a familiar light was wrapping around her body as if it was dressing her. It was the Fairy Matter. Lurking in the waters, it came to Twilight Sparkle, reminded of Twilight Luminaria. She closed her eyes, feeling the mystical energy affect her body as it was seemingly giving her a new appearance. A rather familiar appearance she saw back in the illusion world the Unown had constructed.

Back outside, Ash and Red's eyes would flare as the two of them suddenly stood up tall. They went silent for a moment, having serious expressions on their faces. The intimidating aura was now surrounding both of their bodies. It was dark but still had some colour to it. Everything became tense all of a sudden.

The atmosphere grew tense as the second awakening of Ash and Red unfolded before them.

The girls watched in awe and trepidation as the two young men, now under the influence of the Soul of Prisma once more, stood before them with an aura of power. Power that neither of them have ever seen before in their lives and now they were encountering it for the first time.

A horrific chill ran through their bodies as even Adagio grimaced at this feeling. Why did it feel like her worst fears were hitting her all of a sudden? All of them felt that way.

"Oh no..." Sunset Shimmer gasped. The worst possible outcome was beginning to emerge.

"Take me to J. Now." Ash ordered. His way of speaking had changed yet again, taking on the speech patterns of Prisma himself. Pikachu looked up at his partner, knowing that this moment had come yet again. But it felt different from the last time which was still dangerous.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 442 End.

Sci-Twi, you're not hiding the fact that you are smitten with Ash.
