My Little Pokémon: Grander World

Nightmare Sister

Universe 5. Nightmare Rarity's Eclipsed Citadel. Nightfall.

Sweetie Belle, now freed from the Slime Monster, was brought into the building where Nightmare Rarity waited. The Nightmare Changeling widened its eyes while gazing at the Veiled Mistress as Sweetie Belle gazed around, seeing the Nightmare Monsters around her.

She walked through the halls of this building, gazing around before arriving at a large room. Nightmare Rarity sat on her throne in all of her nightmarish excellence. "W-Who...?" Sweetie stammered, her voice barely above a whisper as she struggled to find the words to express her confusion and apprehension.

"Welcome, Sweetie Belle," Nightmare Rarity's voice rang out, smooth and melodious yet tinged with an unmistakable edge of darkness. Her eyes gleamed with an otherworldly light as she regarded the young filly before her, a hint of amusement dancing in their depths.

Sweetie's gaze flickered between Nightmare Rarity and the Nightmare Changeling standing nearby, her mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. She couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance between Nightmare Rarity and her own sister, Rarity, yet there was something inherently different, something darker and more sinister lurking beneath the surface.

"You must be surprised to see someone who looks so identical to your sister. Tell me...How has she been faring lately?" Nightmare Rarity questioned as Sweetie gazed at her.

"R-Rarity...She's fine. Um...Who are you?" Sweetie Belle questioned while gazing at Nightmare Rarity.

"Me? I am Nightmare Rarity. But you may call me Veiled Mistress." Nightmare Rarity introduced herself before gazing around. "This here is my Universe. Universe 5, as it's apparently categorized. I am the Nightmare Queen here, ruling over this place and keeping the peace. And aiding me are the Nightmare Monsters here."

"So, you're her! You're Nightmare Rarity!" Sweetie Belle backed up with a bellowing voice, aiming her hoof at Nightmare Rarity. She was standing before another version of her sister who absolutely intimidating.

"I would say to mind your tongue and refer to me as the Veiled Mistress, but for you, I'll allow it." Nightmare Rarity stated while reclining on her throne. Sweetie Belle gazed at Nightmare Rarity before narrowing her eyes. "I've been watching it all from here. My Universe against yours. So far, I can see why it's known as Universe Prime. Sometimes Universe or the Main Universe. It's even considered the Strongest Universe, despite how flawed it is."

Sweetie Belle backed away while Nightmare Rarity reclined on her throne. "You have quite the lucky universe. To be the first and by far the most dynamic and expansive universe out of all of them. I can safely say that winning this will not be easy, especially considering your universe's track record. But nonetheless, I plan on succeeding. We Nightmare Monsters will succeed." Nightmare Rarity declared.

"You brought me here to tell me all of this? Why?" Sweetie Belle questioned while glaring at Nightmare Rarity.

"Not really. It should be obvious why I brought you here." The tall unicorn chuckled a bit. "After all, you're my sister. Or at least, a version of my sister. So I thought it would be nice if we talked." Nightmare Rarity answered.

"What...?" Sweetie Belle muttered, just confused at the moment. Nightmare Rarity stood up from her throne before descending down the stairs as Sweetie backed away some more.

"But I also brought you here for an offer. After all, how often is it that I get to see my little sister again? Even if she's a version of her." Nightmare Rarity stated while approaching Sweetie Belle. She was significantly taller than her, gazing down as Sweetie gazed up.

"An offer?" Sweetie Belle questioned as Nightmare Rarity nodded.

"You're not the first Sweetie Belle I've encountered. There's been a few, actually. Thanks to my alliance with Daybreaker, travelling to other universes has become easier and easier. And I can safely say that each Sweetie Belle I've met have been..well....Disappointing." Nightmare Rarity explained. "Granted, I've only met 5 so far, but the consistency is rather immaculate.

"5 others? W-What did you say to them then?"

"The same thing I'm saying to you, with fewer numbers, of course. It started with my own Sweetie Belle in this universe. After my gorgeous ascension into power, it was only natural that I have my own sister join me. But she refused. She kept rejecting my offer as I told her how much better she would be as a Nightmare Monster. And I meant it too." Nightmare Rarity explained while gazing at Sweetie Belle.

"Ngh..." Sweetie narrowed her eyes while backing away some more. "What did you do to your Sweetie Belle...?"

"Well, I can't just leave my sister alone. I always have to keep watch over here. So, I turned her into a decoration piece." Nightmare Rarity answered as Sweetie widened her eyes. Nightmare Rarty would then turn hSweete Belle's attention to the wall, revealing her twisted decoration.

On the wall was a statue of Sweetie Belle, petrified in stone. She was wearing a dress as well as a tiara while smiling. It was clear that Nightmare Rarity took care of her. However, her face was completely frozen with a look of horror as Sweetie gazed up at it. There were 5 of them in total, all wearing matching clothes and completely petrified. And near it was another batch of decorations that were of various ponies from Ponyville.

"W-What?! Those ponies! And myself! W-Why?!" Sweetie exclaimed while gazing around.

"Wonderful, isn't it? I had trouble wondering where I wanted to put them all. But after thinking long and hard, I decided that they should decorate my throne room. This way, they can remain close to me at all times!" Nightmare Rarity explained while Sweetie was stunned.

"Aah...Ahh..." Sweetie Belle stepped back, petrified by what she saw. Nightmare Rarity gazed at Sweetie before sighing. She saw so many familiar faces on that wall, knowing that they were innocent ponies who didn't deserve this fate. And yet here they were, decorating her throne room.

"I had to do it to the other Sweetie Belles that just couldn't comply with me. So, I had to keep them close too." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing around. "It's unfortunate really. Each Sweetie Belle I've encountered refused my offer. I guess some things never change. Such as that stubbornness." Nightmare Rarity sighed before gazing down at Sweetie Belle.

"But why?! How could you do this?! Aren't you still my sister?!" Sweetie questioned while Nightmare Rarity gazed at her.

"Ah, why indeed? In a way, I'm going through the same thing Daybreaker did. After all, she lost her Luna and that's what turned her into Daybreaker in the first place. She's been searching for a way to bring her back while also overtaking various universes, of course. As for me, I already have my sister with me. 5 of them, in fact. But unlike Daybreaker, I won't be so foolish as to cling onto hope like that. Instead, I simply embrace it." Nightmare Rarity explained.

"Embrace it...?!"

"Yes. Embracing the fact that I have sisters everywhere. Sisters who are all living their lives happily in their respective universes. However, I've grown tired of this. I've seen what happens when I try to have them join me. They refuse. And they live the rest of their days being a decoration piece. I could just go from universe to unverse, meeting every other Sweetie Belle. But I've decided that enough is enough." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing down at Sweetie Belle.

"W-What do you mean...?" Sweetie backed away some more while Nightmare Rarity approached her.

"I do have to admit, your universe seems to be the most important out of all of them. That involves you. You can be the one Sweetie Belle who ends up changing everything. I can't ignore how important your universe is. Every major event that happens seems to revolve around this universe. And you can be the key to all of it. So, Sweetie Belle, my offer for you is this: Join me. Become a Nightmare Monster and aid me in taking over this multiverse!" Nightmare Rarity offered while gazing down at Sweetie.

"W-What...?" Sweetie widened her eyes before gazing at Nightmare Rarity.

"That's right. Join me and you can have a whole new life! You'll have powers unlike anything you could ever dream of! You can be powerful beyond belief! You can be the best Sweetie Belle to ever exist! All you have to do is join me and be a Nightmare Monster!" Nightmare Rarity explained as Sweetie backed away.

"No! No way! I would never do that! You're evil! I'm not joining you!" Sweetie exclaimed while Nightmare Rarity shook her head, pouting her lips.

""Sweetie Belle. It's rude to reject someone like that. Especially your big sister. Come on now, you can join me. I promise you'll love it here. Everyone is happy here." Nightmare Rarity stated while Sweetie kept backing away. "And besides, you're the one Sweetie Belle I won't let go. Since you come from that universe, there's a lot of potential, no doubt."

"Why? How'd it come to this for you? How'd you even become Nightmare Rarity in the first place?!" Sweetie questioned as Nightmare Rarity gazed down at her.

"Oh, how? Well, I have Nightmare Moon to thank for that. In this universe, even after we defeated Nightmare Moon years back, she still existed, revealed to be a separate entity who originated from the Moon. We had a nice chat and...I'm sure you can guess the rest."

"S-So then...It's Nightmare Moon's doing! You're corrupted by Nightmare Energy!" Sweetie exclaimed as Nightmare Rarity just stood there, not giving an answer. "Hah! I knew it!" However, the little unicorn had a strong reaction, prancing around. "I knew my sister wouldn't just become evil out of nowhere!"

Nightmare Rarity widened her eyes before chuckling. "Heh...Evil?" Nightmare Rarity questioned. Sweetie Belle stopped prancing once that queston hit.

"Huh?" Sweetie questioned while Nightmare Rarity gazed down at her.

"Evil, huh? What does that even mean?" Nightmare Rarity questioned while gazing at Sweetie Belle. "My Sweetie Belle asked that question too. When I told her how much better it would be if she joined me, she questioned what evil even means. It was such a silly question from her. After all, every universe has its outcome and mine is where I just naturally win. And since I am the victor in my own universe, I decide what Evil is. And I can say that this not Evil. This is simply how this universe functions." Nightmare Rarity explained.

"That's not true!"

"Oh, but it is. You of all Sweetie Belle's should be knowledgeable about this. In every universe, there is a determined and absolute outcome. It varies from universe to universe. In my universe, this is the outcome. Sure, it can change, but only if someone from another universe intervenes. I mean, look what happened with Empress Twilight. She took on your universe and lost. Twice, even."

"Well, that just means you're gonna lose too! Once Ash and the others show up here, they'll defeat you! They always do!" Sweetie declared as Nightmare Rarity raised an eyebrow before smirking.

"They always do, huh?" Nightmare Rarity questioned. "Well, I can't wait to see them try." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing down at Sweetie Belle. "Unlike Empress Twilight, I plan to change things up. If they enter my universe, it could disrupt the outcome, which I won't allow to happen. Not when I have my ace in the hole."

"W-Whatever it is, it won't happen!" Sweetie Belle shouted. "You said this was because of Nightmare Moon, right? So then that means the good part of you is still in there somewhere!"

"Are you seriously saying that? You don't even know me." Nightmare Rarity shook her head.

"But you're just corrupted by Nightmare Magic, aren't you? This is just...just a bigger version of Mind Control!" Sweetie Belle shouted at the top of her lungs. "All you need to do is break free from it!"

"Mind Control? Sweetie Belle, I chose this path. And I wasn't brainwashed either. Like I said, Nightmare Moon and I had a nice chat. In which, she did try to Mind Control me, but I won our battle. And after that, I accepted her Nightmare Energy into myself. I allowed it to corrupt me and alter my body. Because I understood what it meant to become a Nightmare Monster. And after becoming Nightmare Rarity, I made this universe what it is today. A paradise where Nightmare Monsters reign supreme." Nightmare Rarity explained.

Sweetie widened her eyes before gazing up at Nightmare Rarity. "This was my choice. Nothing else. I became Nightmare Rarity willingly."

"B-But..." Sweetie gazed up at Nightmare Rarity while stepping back some more. "Ngh...!" Sweetie felt the urge to cry while gazing up at Nightmare Rarity. She looked so similar to her sister, Rarity, but her personality was drastically different. "Rarity..." Sweetie muttered with a trembling rip.

"If you want further proof, take a gander at what is left of that so-called good part that's in me." With a fearsome and wide grin that showed her sharp fangs, Nightmare Rarity's head started pulsating with Nightmare Energy as it was beginning to open up. Sweetie widened her eyes while gazing at Nightmare Rarity as the pulsation grew louder and louder until Nightmare Rarity opened up.

It was horrific and disgusting to Sweetie Belle's eyes, seeing a head open up like that. Nightmare Rarity's head opened up vertically as a purple ooze dripped from the crevices. Sweetie gazed into the abyss that was inside of Nightmare Rarity's head as she witnessed something that shocked her.

There was the original Rarity. But she was no longer as beautiful as she usually was. Hovering over Nightmare Rarity, her body was as withered as a tree during winter time, with cracks all over her as her horn and Cutie Mark were cracked as well. Her mane was dishevelled while her eyes were completely white.

Sweetie Belle was in disbelief while gazing up at this. "Rarity...?" Sweetie questioned before Nightmare Rarity closed up. Sweetie gazed up at Nightmare Rarity while taking multiple steps back.

"As you can see, that's the so-called good part of me. Any part of it has been withered and spent. And of course, since I now decide what is Good and what is Evil, I have no need for this anymore. It's useless and serves no purpose. If only I could just remove it entirely. Oh well." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing at Sweetie Belle.

"How could you do this?! You're the worst! Rarity would never do this to anyone! Ever!" Sweetie exclaimed.

"Different universe, different universe, darling. And very soon, you'll get to experience that same type of nightmarishly beautiful feeling. When you become one of us Nightmare Monsters." From the ceiling, Nightmare Tendrils would start leaking out, aiming for Sweetie Belle.

The little unicorn gazed up, seeing these Nightmare Tendrils lurking over her, ready to strike at any time. "Y-You wouldn't. You turned the other Sweetie Belle's into decorations! Why me?!"

"Like you said. You come from the most crucial universe. Do you think I'd pass out on what could potentially come from you? I don't think so. Especially since you're the only Sweetie Belle in the Multiverse that is a Pokemon Trainer There are some Pokemon I wish for you to eventually command and I need you to be one of us to make that happen."

"No way!" Suddenly, Sweetie Belle, digging into her Saddlebag, would hold out one of her Poke Balls, making Nightmare Rarity raise an eyebrow. "I'll defeat you! I mean t!"

"Are you challenging your Big Sister? How adorable." Nightmare Rarity grinned while flipping her mane. "I accept your challenge then. Just to put you in your place. Let's see how long you can last." Nightmare Rarity stated as Sweetie tossed out her Poke Ball, unleashing her Meowstic.

"Meowstic!"

"I was lucky to recall my Pokemon back before they were pulled in by that slime monster. And now I can use them against you!" Sweetie declared as Meowstic stood by her side.

"Very well." Nightmare Rarity stated before flashing her horn, as a Nightmare Monster formed from the ground, creating a barrier around the throne room to prevent any of this from escaping. This Nightmare Monster appeared as a humanoid with blue skin and wore armour over itself, wielding a large sword.

Sweetie widened her eyes upon seeing this Nightmare Monster. "A Knight?" Sweetie questioned as Nightmare Rarity smiled.

"Yes. He's a Nightmare Monster of mine that was captured from another universe. He is one of my favourites. But don't let that intimidate you. I'm sure you and Meowstic here can handle him." Nightmare Rarity stated while reclining on her throne. "Go ahead. Show me what you can do." Nightmare Rarity encouraged Sweetie to fight as Sweetie narrowed her eyes.

"Let's go, Meowstic! If we beat her, we'll win it all and stop this! Use Shadow Ball! Then Psychic!" Sweetie declared as Meowstic nodded before charging up a Shadow Ball in her paws, forming an eerie blob. The Psychic-Type fired it at the Knight Nightmare Monster as Sweetie followed up with a Psychic attack.

The Knight Nightmare Monster raised his sword as both attacks were deflected thanks to it. Sweetie widened her eyes before narrowing them again. "Psychic again! Then Energy Ball! Make it a combo!" Sweetie declared as Meowstic nodded.

Using Psychic, she levitated the Knight Nightmare Monster off the ground before firing a green orb of energy at the Knight. The green orb was combined with Psychic as it struck the Knight repeatedly, causing him to grunt. "Again!" Sweetie declared as Meowstic launched another combination of Psychic and Energy Ball.

But this time, the Knight was ready. Raising his sword, he would slash the attacks apart before jumping towards Meowstic, swinging his blade at Sweetie's Pokemon. "Meowstic, look out!" Sweetie Belle cried out as Meowstic narrowed her eyes before blocking this swing with her own psychic energy.

Sweetie's Pokemon grunted before pushing the Knight Nightmare Monster away from her, making him back up. "Now! Another Shadow Ball!" Sweetie exclaimed as Meowstic formed another eerie blob in her paw before firing it at the Knight. The Knight Nightmare Monster gazed at this attack before slicing it in half, nullifying it immediately.

After destroying it, the blade was swung onto Meowstic, a direct hit landing on her. Sweetie widened her eyes upon witnessing this. "Meowstic!" Sweetie cried out while Nightmare Rarity just reclined on her throne.

"M-Meow...!" Meowstic went flying, tumbling and rolling across the floor. The Constraint Pokemon groaned, coming to a halt once her body hit a pillar. Clenching her teeth, Meowstic opened one eye, gazing at the Nightmare Knight.

"I can't risk using Trick Room on that thing...He's obviously slower with all of that size, so that'll just make him faster." Sweetie Belle said to herself. "I have to stick to just these three moves."

The Nightmare Monster would then approach, dragging his blade across the floor, building up Nightmare Energy within it before aiming it at Meowstic. He swung the whole blade across the ground, sending a barrage of Nightmare Energy that would erupt from the floor, rapidly approaching Meowstic.

"Meowstic! Get out of there!" Sweetie Belle shouted.

"Meow!" She quickly rolled away, dodging the Nightmare Energy that erupted from the floor before jumping back, avoiding a horizontal slash from the Knight.

"Use Psychic! Then Shadow Ball!"

"Stic!" Using Psychic, she levitated the Knight Nightmare Monster, raising him in the air. She then fired a Shadow Ball from her other paw, towards the Knight as it enveloped him in a purple light.

Sweetie Belle widened her eyes, seeing the Knight Nightmare Monster unharmed and not affected by this attack. "What?!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed before widening her eyes. The Knight Nightmare Monster would swing his sword, generating a large Nightmare Slash that would travel towards Meowstic. The radius of this slash was so wide Meowstic's options to avoid it were very thin.

"Meowstic, stop it with Psychic!"

"Meow!" Meowstic utilized Psychic, channelling a huge chunk of her Psychic Energy into stopping this Nightmare Slash. The Constraint Pokemon held it back, gritting her teeth while Nightmare Rarity observed this.

"That's it, Meowstic! Push it back!" Sweetie Belle encouraged her Pokemon as Meowstic grunted, doing her best to push it back. The energy from the clash would send sparks flying everywhere, damaging the pillars and walls of this throne room. Like a fierce tornado, Meowstic could feel the pressure from this Nightmare Slash as it would even blow in Sweetie Belle's direction.

"Ngh!" Sweetie Belle held her hoof out once the pressure reached her. Meowstic grunted before pushing the Nightmare Slash back, sending it towards the Knight Nightmare Monster as it struck him back. The Knight flew back before skidding across the floor, creating friction with his sword.

"Oh. Not bad." Nightmare Rarity applauded, actually impressed by what she was seeing. "I must admit, that was quite impressive. It takes a lot of power to stop an attack like that, especially since that Nightmare Monster is considered one of my strongest. And yet you managed to push it back towards him. Color me impressed." Nightmare Rarity stated.

Her Constraint Pokemon panted heavily, sweating profusely before looking up at the Knight Nightmare Monster. The Knight got back up right away, still standing tall and barely looking like he took that much damage at all.

"Once you join us, the control I'll have over other Pokemon will be excellent. You'll be in charge of the Pokemon in my empire once you're one of us Nightmare Monsters. But right now, you're far too weak for that sort of responsibility." Nightmare Rarity shrugged.

She knew that they couldn't win this. The Knight Nightmare Monster was so much stronger than them and Meowstic was running low on stamina already. If this kept going, Sweetie Belle and Meowstic would be defeated.

"I believe I've seen enough. Wrap it up, darling." Nightmare Rarity ordered with a smirk. The Knight would then begin building up a tremendous amount of Nightmare Energy within himself as it would flow into his blade.

"Meowstic can't stop that...!" The little unicorn shuddered before digging into her saddlebag once more, this time, taking out two Poke Balls. Right then and there, the Nightmare Monster swung his blade down at full force, prepared to knock them both out. "Stop it, Prinplup! Teddiursa!"

"Prinplup!"

"Teddiursa!" Both Pokemon cried out while appearing in front of Sweetie Belle. They blocked this Nightmare Slash with their respective attacks. Prinplup had used Aerial Ace, blocking the slash with his flippers. Meanwhile, Teddiursa had used Night Slash, barely managing to stop it. The slash was redirected, hitting the side instead of Sweetie and Meowstic directly.

The Nightmare Monster glared at the two Pokemon before backing up while Nightmare Rarity gazed at Sweetie Belle. "Three Pokemon, huh? How interesting." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing at Sweetie Belle.

"That's not all! Go, Plusle! Minun!" She wasn't done. Unleashing her last two Pokemon, she unleashed Plusle and Minun who appeared beside Sweetie Belle. Nightmare Rarity raised an eyebrow before chuckling.

"You're really giving it your all, huh?" Nightmare Rarity questioned while reclining on her throne. "Well then, I guess I should too. Knight! Finish them all!" Nightmare Rarity ordered as the Knight Nightmare Monster nodded. He built up Nightmare Energy once more before swinging his blade, preparing to knock all four Pokemon out.

"Alright, you all! You're smaller, but we can use that to our advantage! Swarm him! Plusle and Minun! Use Discharge! Fly in with Aerial Ace, Prinplup!" Sweetie commanded as Plusle and Minun charged up electricity within their cheeks while Prinplup rushed towards the Knight Nightmare Monster.

"Prin...!" Using Aerial Ace, Prinplup swung his flippers, slashing across the Knight multiple times before dashing around him, striking the Knight repeatedly. Plusle and Minun fired Discharge at the Knight, electrocuting him as he grunted.

"Now! Teddiursa! Night Slash! Meowstic! Shadow Ball! Prinplup! Ice Beam!" Sweetie declared as Teddiursa charged up darkness within her paws before swinging her claws at the Knight Nightmare Monster, striking him multiple times. Meowstic formed another eerie blob of energy before firing it at the Knight while Prinplup fired a beam of ice, striking the Knight.

Nightmare Rarity watched as Sweetie commanded her Pokemon. She was amazed by the teamwork all four of her Pokemon displayed. Each one was utilizing a different move while coordinating with each other. Even Meowstic was participating, despite how exhausted she was. Nightmare Rarity narrowed her eyes before standing up from her throne.

The smaller sizes also allowed them to dodge the Knight Nightmare Monster's swings easier, making it harder for him to hit them. The Nightmare Monster swung his blade, launching Nightmare Slashes, but was unable to land a single hit on the Pokemon. Not only that, but Teddiursa would also latch herself onto the Nightmare Monster's back, striking him continuously while Plusle and Minun used Discharge against him.

Prinplup would clash with the blade with Aerial Ace, causing sparks to fly everywhere. The Nightmare Monster would expel an outburst of Nightmare Energy from its body, knocking Teddiursa off his back before striking Plusle and Minun with a Nightmare Slash, sending them flying. Prinplup avoided this outburst before swinging his flipper at the Knight Nightmare Monster's face.

"Aerial Ace, one more time! Back him up with Energy Ball, Meowstic!"

"Prin!" Prinplup rushed in, a white light surrounding his flippers as Meowstic would charge an Energy Ball in her paws. The Penguin Pokemon was about to strike as the Nightmare Monster readied his blade once more. However, things were different this time. As soon as Meowstic unleashed the Energy Ball, it travelled at high speeds, causing Prinplup to whack it.

He boosted its speed, but he wasn't aiming for the Monster. Instead, Prinplup redirected this Energy Ball towards Nightmare Rarity, surprising the Veiled Mistress. "What?!" Nightmare Rarity exclaimed before using magic shielding herself from this attack as it exploded against her barrier.

The sneak attack failed, causing Prinplup to grimace. He was then slashed by the Nightmare Monster, falling back and rolling across the floor. The smoke from the explosion faded away, showing Nightmare Rarity's rather disappointed and upset face.

"I'm disappointed in you, Sweetie Belle. Pulling a sneak attack on your sister? How could you?" Nightmare Rarity questioned while Sweetie narrowed her eyes. "And not only that, you're underestimating me. I may look like your sister, but I'm nowhere near as fragile. You should know this by now." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing at Sweetie Belle. "For that, you'll need to be taught a lesson. This battle is over."

Suddenly, the Knight Nightmare Monster would raise his blade high into the air as Nightmare Energy flowed through it. He swung the blade downwards, unleashing a surge of Nightmare Energy that travelled across the entire throne room.

Sweetie Belle widened her eyes before crying out. "Run!" Sweetie exclaimed as Plusle and Minun bolted off, avoiding this Nightmare Slash. Prinplup attempted to fly away, but ended up getting struck by this attack, immediately passing out. Meowstic tried to run as well, but she was caught by this surge of Nightmare Energy as well.

"Meowstic! Everyone, no!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed while seeing her Constraint Pokemon being struck by this Nightmare Slash. Meowstic grunted before collapsing onto the floor. The Knight Nightmare Monster gazed at the rest of Sweetie's Pokemon while Nightmare Rarity sighed.

"How disappointing." Nightmare Rarity stated while gazing down at Sweetie Belle. The Knight Nightmare Monster approached Meowstic before kicking her aside, sending her crashing into a pillar. "The battle is over. Now then, Sweetie Belle, it's time for you to become one of us Nightmare Monsters." Nightmare Rarity declared while approaching Sweetie Belle.

The Nightmare Tendrils from earlier were leaking out once again, aiming for Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle shuddered, her pupils shrinking at the intimidating sight flying in her direction. She lost the battle and now it seemed like she was about to lose everything else about herself.

Universe 1. Equestria. Out at Sea. The Sea Temple. Samiya.

Back at the Sea Temple, Ash and the others were rushing to the main Chamber where the crystals were located. Pikachu followed after Ash while Twilight and her friends followed suit. Safia was carried by Audino while gazing up at Ash. Standing in their way were the Nightmare Monsters, who managed to resurface after being blown away.

They gazed at the group, ready to attack them while Ash clenched his fists. "Move." Ash simply said as the Nightmare Monsters didn't listen. "Then I guess we gotta go through you! Pikachu! Quick Attack!"

"Eve! Use Dazzling Gleam!" Twilight commanded while Espeon jumped ahead.

"Pika!" Pikachu moved at lightning speeds, tackling the Nightmare Monsters out of the way as Espeon fired a blinding ray of light, clearing the path for the group.

More and more Nightmares Monsters appeared before them, blocking their path towards the Main Chamber. Their bodies crawled upon the Sea Temple with some even bursting out of the ground to surprise them. "Sirfetch'd, I choose you!" Ash threw a Poke Ball forward as Sirfetch'd appeared.

"Sirfetch'd!" He declared while Ash narrowed his eyes.

"Charge through, Sirfetch'd! Fury Cutter!"

"Sir!" Sirfetch'd charged forward, his leek enveloped in a green energy while he slashed multiple Nightmare Monsters in front of them. They were knocked back while Ash and the others passed through them. Sirfetch'd led the way while protecting the group.

While running, the massive Nightmare Monster could be seen in the distance outside the Sea Temple, caught in the middle of the disasters caused by Safia's eyes. It roared while being affected by these disasters, slamming its body against the barrier created by a single Crystal.

It roared while trying to break through before gazing down at the Sea Temple. It raised its tail before swinging it towards the temple. The tail slammed against the temple, creating a powerful shockwave that nearly brought everyone down to the floor.

Ash, Twilight, and their friends were struggling to stay on their feet while running through these halls. But right up ahead was the main chamber as the doors to it were wide open. "Almost there!" Ash exclaimed as Sirfetch'd nodded. He used Fury Cutter once more, piercing through the Nightmare Monsters with a clear strike.

Ash, Twilight, and their friends were struggling to stay on their feet while running through these halls. But right up ahead was the main chamber as the doors to it were wide open. "Almost there!" Ash exclaimed as Sirfetch'd nodded. He used Fury Cutter once more, piercing through the Nightmare Monsters with a clear strike.

"There! We made it!" Twilight exclaimed as they entered the main chamber. Ash gazed around before gazing at the crystal pedestals. He dashed towards them, gazing at them while Twilight and the others followed. They finally reached their destination and knew what to do immediately.

"Q-Quickly, your Majesty...Everyone." Safia grunted.

"We got it. Let's not slow down for even a moment. Watch my back, you guys." Ash requested before approaching one of the crystals. Since he was not a Samiyan but the King of the Sea, he could only use one Crystal.

Ash placed his hand upon this Crystal, staring into it before a bright blue aura surrounded it. It was reacting to Ash as the other Crystal started glowing as well. The energies of these two Crystals were combining together while the Nightmare Monsters barged into the room.

Twilight and her friends widened their eyes before turning around, facing them. "Espeon! Dazzling Gleam!" Twilight declared as Espeon fired a blinding ray of light while Flareon spewed fire in their direction.

"Go, Braviary!" Rainbow Dash threw one of her Poke Balls into the air as Braviary burst out. He swooped down, creating a mighty gust of wind that blew the Nightmare Monsters back. The Nightmare Monsters roared, attempting to approach the group.

"Viary!"

"Ampharos, I need you!" Rarity would throw a Poke Ball forward as Ampharos emerged. "Zap Cannon!" Rarity exclaimed as Ampharos charged up electricity before unleashing a surge of it. The Nightmare Monsters shrieked while being electrocuted as the group focused on defending Ash while he activated the Crystals

Some of the Nightmare Monsters started merging their attacks for greater power, such as when a massive Nightmare Sphere was formed before being thrown at them.

"Audi! Use Protect!" Fluttershy, after gasping, had Audino take action.

"Audino!" With her arms out, Audino formed a barrier around them all as the Nightmare Sphere collided with it, causing it to crack and shatter. Audino grunted, doing her best to hold the barrier up "D-Dino!"

The Sea Temple was still taking damage thanks to the disasters occurring in the Sea and Sky and it was only getting worse from here. The tremors caused by the massive Nightmare Monster striking the Sea Temple didn't help either as it shook constantly. The thunderstorms above would batter the Sea Temple while the tsunamis rocked it

"First, I'll wake everyone up!" Ash declared, deciding to use the power of the Crystal to wake everyone in the temple else up first. He concentrated, focusing his energy into the Crystal as the energy from both Crystals were combined. Ash grunted before clenching his teeth. "Ugh...!" He felt his head throbbing as the Crystal's light grew brighter and brighter.

The energy from the Crystal travelled across the Sea Temple as it illuminated every hall and room. Nightmare Monsters were blinded by this light while it travelled towards each sleeping Samiyan. The Samiyans, who twitched in their beds, were currently going through their own nightmares thanks to what was occurring in the Dream Realm, but now, they began to awaken.

Their eyes slowly opened before widening at this bright light. "Huh...?" One Samiyan groaned before gazing around. "What...? What's going on?"

"Huh? That light..." Another Samiyan muttered before gazing around. Soon enough, all of the Samiyans throughout the Sea Temple awoke thanks to the Crystals. They gazed around while rubbing their eyes, wondering what was happening. Alo woke up as well while gazing around.

"What's going on...? Is it morning already?" Alo questioned, his mustache wiggling, waking itself up. "Wait, that's not the sun. What's that light?! It's so bright!"

Once they all woke up, Ash would use the Crystal one more time for his next action. To clear the area of Nightmare Monsters. After all, they were weak to Light Element attacks and Ash planned to utilize this. Mixing well with his Aura, the light would be outstanding, sending its radiance far and wide.

This energy reached the Nightmare Monsters inside the Sea Temple and would strike them one by one, knocking them out and defeating them. Their bodies would fade when exposed to the intense light of the Crystal, vanishing without a trace.

They continued illuminating the Sea Temple, reaching even the giant Nightmare Monster who hissed while shielding its eyes. The light from the Crystals shined upon it as it growled. The light emitted from these Crystals would then travel across the sea, heading towards the disasters that were occurring thanks to Safia.

However, the disasters weren't stopping at all. They raged on as one of the tsunamis would catch the large Nightmare Monster, whose body was being pierced by the rays of light from the Crystals. The large Nightmare Monster roared before being dragged towards the disaster, being swept up by it.

The Sea Temple was not exempt from this. It would start rocking as the Tsunami would start carrying it as well. The waves of this Tsunami would carry the Sea Temple with great intensity as all the Samiyans were just beyond confused. They woke up and they were immediately met with this mess.

Things weren't getting better for the Sea or the Sky at all. Ash held onto the Crystal Pedestal while gritting his teeth. "Gotta slow this down...Next...!"

In the distance, a massive rock formation similar to a mountain was up ahead, being their blockade. And since the tsunami was carrying them with such ferocity, there was a chance they could crash into it. The Samiyans looked onwards in horror when witnessing this all play out. From the disrupted skies to the massive wall, they had no idea what they had gotten themselves into.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 474 End.

Oh man, so that’s what happened to Nightmare Rarity’s sweetie

I'm starting to get a little tired of the story in almost 1500 chapters you've introduced 10 or 12 main villains and only 2 have been defeated the Dread league and Malamar. I've been mostly enjoying the series but seeing a villain introduced beaten into retreating only to have another villain show up to do the same is kinda tiring cause there are so many other unresolved plot points. Maybe I'm just tired and am taking it out on this idk but it just feels like the plot is moving to fast and going nowhere at the same time. I will still continue to read the chapters as they come out and overall the story is fun.

Sorry for my grammar I was a C student in writing at best.
