My Little Pokémon: Grander World

House of Evolution

Equestria. Ponyville. The Pokemon House. Day.

Over at Fluttershy's Pokemon House, today, she was planning on giving her wonderful sanctuary an upgrade. For the most part, its status was wonderful, being a Pokemon's dream home with so many rooms and sections tailored to each type. And of course, for different Pokemon builds.

That was one reason why she needed to upgrade it. Some Pokemon will be needing their own rooms due to their biology and makeup. Plus, with more Pokemon finding their way here, it was bound to get rather crowded. And speaking of the Pokemon, a lot of the Pokemon here were outside the house playing, relaxing and overall living the carefree life that a sanctuary like this provided them with.

Most were Wild Pokemon and some were Pokemon that already had Trainers. At times, they come here to relax when their trainers are doing their own thing.

"Today's the day. Just like the Sea Temple, this place needs an upgrade. I would ask Discord for help, but it'd be too unpredictable for everyone else. I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way."

The Pink-Haired Pegasus went outside with a pencil and clipboard to start drawing out her plans for the expansion of the Pokemon House. Of course, she'll need the input of her friends. After all, it was thanks to her friends that this sanctuary even became a reality.

And now, it was time for the next chapter of the Pokemon House to begin.

"Alright," She spoke, looking over her designs. "I got the plans down. Now I need my friends to help. And they won't let me down."

---

A bit later, Fluttershy had contacted her friends and told them that she had called them all over to help her with her plans. They didn't hesitate and came over as quickly as they could, always here to chime in.

"Alright, girls," Fluttershy explained while showing them the artwork she made. Fluttershy wasn't exactly the best at drawing but the charm and idea was there. "This is it. This is what I want to do for the Pokemon House moving forward."

"Isn't it perfectly fine the way it is?" Rarity questioned.

"Well, the Pokemon House is doing well," Fluttershy replied. "But it could always use some more rooms. More Pokemon keep showing up and I'm running out of space. Some Pokemon also need their own rooms too. It's always been rooms based on Type, but now I think we need to add some more specific ones."

"What's this supermassive part over here?" Rainbow Dash questioned, aiming her hoof at the right side of the drawing that appeared to be a large hole of some sorts.

"Oh, that? That's for my Wailord. I thought it'd be good to have a large room for him. Even though he's away right now, he promised me that he'd show up here from time to time. And with his size, I'd figured he'd need his own space since he's so much bigger than everyone else. Oh and a place for his 50 Wailmer children. I'm planning on giving him a massive lake of his own.

"His own lake? Can't he use the lakes near Ponyville?" Rarity wondered.

"Mhm. But he'd like to be around here where he's next to the Pokemon House. That's what I want to do with him. I think giving him his own lake will be the hardest thing I'll do compared to the rest."

"Not a problem." Twilight shook her head. Being a great planner, she already knew what had to be done beforehand. "Everything else here looks simple but we'll still need a lot of work to pull off. As for the massive lake, leave that one to me. I'll get Ash and he and I will handle this."

"So... what do you want us to do?" Applejack asked.

"It's super important that the rooms are fit for a lot of Pokemon. Some Pokemon have the same biology so they can share rooms, but the new rooms should have some special additions to them. Since there's so many of them, getting those specific one is gonna take a long time. I'm counting on you all to make it work."

"We know what you mean, Fluttershy. Don't worry about it. We'll make it work for sure." Rainbow Dash replied.

"I just know you all will. I'll start on my end and you all will start on yours. We'll meet in the middle and then... everything will be ready."

Fluttershy's friends agreed and went to work on their separate parts, while Fluttershy began working on hers.

---

Twilight would come prepared with the right amount of assistance. While she didn't have as many Pokemon as Fluttershy, she still had quite the selection from her PokePark. She brought many of her Pokemon here, mostly all of her Ground-Types. If they were going to make this lake a reality, clearing a huge part of the ground was the top priority.

And of course, by bringing Ash, he came with his own selection of Pokemon. Ash brought his Ground-Types, but he also brought more of his Pokemon of various types.

"Okay!" Ash put his hands together, standing before an open space just outside Fluttershy's home. "How are we gonna do this?"

"Wailord's a big Pokemon, so it needs to stretch out as far as possible. What we need to do is make sure it connects to a nearby lake or river so that Wailord can come and go freely." Twilight explained.

"Hmm...So it's gotta be bigger than even Wailord himself and go somewhere out to sea," Ash pointed out. "That's gonna be tough one."

"Mhm. The lake or river will need to be huge to accommodate a Pokemon of Wailord's size. I can do that. You can use your Ground-Types to create a hole of some sort. But we'll need more than that. There are also gonna be some areas where water won't be able to get to."

"Gotcha. But it's not just my Ground-Types that can make this work." Ash grinned. "Alright, guys! Go for it! Let's make a huge hole!"

"Donphan!" Donphan, Torterra, Gliscor, Gible, Palpitoad and Krookodile all go to work, using their expertise of the Ground to start digging and digging,aiming to make a large, massive hole that could be the new lake.

"Heracross" But it wasn't just his Ground-Types. All his Pokemon would try and make this hole. Heracross dug his horn into the ground and began digging, using the mighty power of Megahorn to raise parts of it up with incredible force.

"You're up! Noivern! Hawlucha! Swellow! Kingdra! Goodra!" The Dragon-Type, the Fighting-Type and the Flying-Type all helped out in making the hole. Using their attacks and abilities, the four used their physical prowess to help dig into the ground, breaking a path for the water and the earth to combine into the perfect lake.

"Now for you guys! Infernape! Sceptile! Boldore!" Next up, the Grass-Type, Rock-Type and Fire-Type worked together, helping the hole form by using their moves on the ground to break and shatter the earth, creating a nice, easy path for the water to come flowing through.

"Alright, you all. Let's get started." Twilight faced her Pokemon, including her Ground-Types. "All together!"

All of her Ground-Types cried out and began digging, using Dig to burrow under the ground, digging holes to make it easier for the lake to flow in and out.

And thus, the process was underway. Everyone used their strengths and powers, their abilities and expertise, their knowledge and skill to make a hole. They weren't just making a hole, but a path, a path that was leading into the ground, a path that would connect the land and the water.

"Wow... look at this!" Fluttershy said, looking from the air at the progress. She looked on as Ash's and Twilight's Pokemon, as well as her own, made a massive hole, a hole that would become a lake.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie went to Ponyville, asking the townsfolk for assistance. Since there wer so many Pokemon, they figured that it was best to get the advice from ponies who had Pokemon of the same species, just to know what they like.

And of course, they got plenty.

"I've done this for some of my Pokemon and it's gone very well," A pony said. "My Probopass loves having a magnet of his own where he can feel comfortable and spend lots of time with."

"Does it have to be a magnet?" Another asked.

"Um...no. But something that can help them feel at home is definitely a plus. I'm guessing the Pokemon House doesn't have anything that's like a magnet, right?"

"Well...kinda. Sometimes, Probopass pulls in Pokemon like Magnemite, Magneton and Magnezone and traps them with his magnetic powers. Eve though they're like rooms away from each other. His pull is pretty strong and he's pretty new to the Pokemon House so we wanna make it easy on him and everyone else there. What kind of room would you give him?"

"This right here. This is what Probopass gets to use all the time." The pony revealed an extra room that she made just for her own Probopass.

A giant, massive magnet that stuck out against a plain grey background. The walls of the room were also made with magnets with some having patterns on them. "He gets a really large, high quality magnet, some with patterns to make things seem a lot more fancy, some with gems that stick to the magnet, even if there's nothing on the other side. The floors, made of solid steel and not even a single rust."

"Golly." Applejack whistled. "That's a mighty nice room right there."

"Is it even practical? How will we replicate something like this in the Pokemon House? It has more than just a Probopass living there after all. " Rarity questioned.

"That's the funny part about it," The pony answered. "Probopass was just really picky about what room he would stay in. We ended up redoing the room almost every single week because of that. I wanted him to have a nice place and it really got expensive and time-consuming. If only we just had this room in the first place, things would have been so much easier. So many broken stuff..."

After checking this place out, they tackled other homes to get ideas and ideas on how to create different, unique rooms. There was a Raichu's home which had an entire room consisting of a thick metal floor with electricity that traveled within in the pattern of Raichu's tail.

A Luxio's home which had the ceiling replaced and enhanced with an entire sky, one with light from a shining sun and with many fluffy, white clouds. An Abra's room was practically nothing, but when Rarity used her magic and her eyes on it, there was a slight reflection, a reflection of space, or at least a better version of what an Abra sees through its mind.

Each and every place they came across and explored were different but the goal was always the same; find some idea from their experiences. Even after visiting a bunch of places, this was a hard one.

The only time the group found a single common thing was that the room needed a single color for each species and something to add life into each of them. Of course, most had an interesting thing or two here and there, but there wasn't one common theme like a room solely filled with magnets, ceilings replacing themselves to become skies, or rooms made to have one element as a major decor.

Some homes had more than one Pokemon living in them, needing special rooms for them. With so many Pokemon that have such specific needs and ways of living, each place could be its own place entirely. This was more difficult than the girls anticipated.

After leaving another place, the girls continued to ponder a way of solving their problem and coming to a conclusion of their own.

"On the bright side, at least we know how some of them live. But the Pokemon House has far more Pokemon than anyone I talked too. Some people had up to three at most, the rest of them had up to five or fewer. What are we going to do?" Rarity worried.

"Plus all that time and effort...to get it right. It doesn't help that not every Pokemon's the same. Heck, my Braviary's acts differently from any other Braviary. And another Braviary might act different too," Rainbow mentioned.

"Yes, yes...all the more reason why we must pay attention to the fine detail in our work," Rarity remarked. "But right now, the four of us won't be enough. Not this time."

"Well, there's only one pony we can ask for this. Mayor Mare. She'll know what to do." Rainbow replied, leading the rest to go to the town hall to see Mayor Mare.

They could always count on the town's Mayor for issues like this. She ran the whole place, so surely, she knew exactly what to do in this instance.

---

Town Hall.

As usual, she was at the front desk doing the same work that she usually did, while her partner Stoutland waited right next to her. Once the girls arrived, she was already informed of what was occurring on this day.

"An upgrade to the Pokemon House. That would require a plethora of time and resources with that many Pokemon." She said while looking outside her window. "And the money you're looking for could run quite the toll. More than what we used the first time the Pokemon House was constructed."

"More than usual...Oooh." Rarity grimaced

"We have a lot of money here at Ponyville, but it depends. How big is this upgrade going to be exactly?" Mayor Mare questioned.

"Well, the biggest one doesn't need any money. Ash and Twilight are handling Wailord's spot. But everything else is gonna be super big too. Not as big as that but still." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Big enough to almost match the size of a Wailord?" Mayor Mare lowered her glasses, realizing how much that really was. She shifted her eyes, realizing that this would cost a disgusting amount of money and could potentially end up on her end of the paperwork.

The mere thought alone terrified the Earth Pony more than she could say. She hated paperwork. It took so much time, and the hoof strain on her wrist from the signing alone. And just how long would this whole process take!? And to say nothing of the papers she already has on her desk right now.

No thanks to Nightmare Rarity and the Dragon Matter, of course. The trouble they've caused has led to situations such as this and Mayor Mare still had to deal with the cleanup.

"Goodness..." She bit her hoof, thinking for a moment. "If we pour it all into this, we could be in trouble. But not to worry! I can think of a plan! If we're going to make this work, we'll have to earn more money."

"By selling sweets at the town hall," Pinkie exclaimed, revealing an entire bag of colorful sugar confectionary.

"No. That's what we've already been doing. The budget doesn't allow for something so minor. We need something bigger. Something on the same scale as all those Tournaments and Contests...Something that'll make us all a plethora of money."

"Sell tickets to the sun!?" Pinkie Pie pulled a poster of a blazing star in a wide empty space and held it close to everyone.

"Not that." Mayor Mare shook her head, adjusting her glasses. "We just don't have enough of a schedule for such a thing. It'd be a pain for the entire community as a whole. We must have something big. Something bigger than everything else."

"Then...how about an event that combines both a party and a Tournaments!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Bingo."

All eyes widened, following Mayor Mare's pointing hoof as she turned, unveiling a flyer pinned up and covering part of a wall.

"Let the Pokelympics begin...The first ever inter-Equestrian competition." Mayor Mare proudly smiled, pulling out the poster she had for today, holding it with her hooves proudly in front of the five of her guests.

"The Pokelympics...? Awesome name," Rainbow Dash commented, admiring it in an instant.

"Here is the Ponyville Flyer," Mayor Mare flipped it over, showing a purple side with a giant emblem of three colors and a cutie mark with what looks to be an infinity symbol. "It's a new way of drawing crowds to both Ponyville and the Equestrian Pokelympics. Now, we still have a fair few more cities that are joining, but this event will give us all that we need."

"So...It's basically like the Pokeathalon?" Applejack raised her brow.

"Well, not exactly. Nothing new came to mind anyways For the first time, a multitude of ponies and ponies all around the land are joining into a massive Pokemon Event. It'll be different from the Pokemon Festival or any tournaments and contests we've had here." She nodded her head, motioning toward a huge line of places and towns like Applewood, Manehatten and Canterlot. "Every city, town and county around Equestria will be involved in this one."

"Hmmm...now, how are you gonna go about setting this up? How far does it go? And does Princess Celestia even know?" Rarity wondered.

"W-Well..Not exactly. This is actually a dream event of mine." Mayor Mare squeed while holding the poster close to her body, cheeks flush with pride. "I've been enjoying all these events we've had these past 4 years and I immediately imagined one of my own! A great event to join Equestria's residents and many even people from the various regions to compete to show our true colors of who's the best out of them all and-"

"And bring tons of money that could go toward upgrading the Pokemon House?" Pinkie guessed.

"...Maybe. After a second glance, it would benefit everyone more or less. I have my dreams too, after all. And I always had this in waiting, but I never found a good reason to make it a reality. Now, I have a reason."

"Well, you'd better get this to Princess Celestia. No way it's gonna happen if she doesn't see it." Rainbow Dash smirked.

"Ah, right! Rainbow Dash! Do that!" Mayor Mare suddenly passed it over to Rainbow Dash. "You're fast enough! Please, please, please go and show this to Princess Celestia as soon as possible. Right this instant. Tell her absolutely everything."

Rainbow Dash was surprised but was determined to make this work out. "Hang on...!" Rainbow Dash immediately began reading, her eyes scanning and scanning over every single part. She wasn't wasting time. "Okay! Got it! I'll be on my way!" Just like that, she was off to give this to Princess Celestia.

---

Back with Ash and Twilight, they successfully made the giant, large, massive hole of the ground. It was quite an effort, but they did it thanks to their numbers. It stretched across so far, and looked to be well worth it once Fluttershy saw it.

"Oh, wow!" Fluttershy took off her wings, landing beside her best friend. "This is amazing! It's as big as I imagined it would be!"

"We used the power of Mega Evolution to make the hole even deeper. Saved us a lot of trouble." Twilight said.

"Yeah. But we aren't done yet. Time to fill this thing up." Ash stretched his arms and legs, ready to get this moving.

"Mhm. Water will need to flow from the lake. Sandslash and Excadrill we be leading us the way and you'll help keep the water going into this, using your water attacks to provide it," Twilight explained.

"No problem. All hands on deck, you guys." Ash would face his Water-Types including the Water-Types from PokePark and even the ones from the Pokemon House. They knew the job that was given and would be ready to give all the assistance possible.

All the Water-Types gathered around the massive hole, focusing their powers as their heads lit up with energy and their backs as their bodies glowed bright. In the next moment, water spewed forth from them, travelling at incredible speeds and speeding their way into the hole that was made by Twilight and Ash's combined powers.

While that was the job for Ash and his Water-Types, Twilight and her Water-Type would focus their energy on creating the perfect, large rivers or streams with the help of Ground-Types and Ground attacks, with Dugtrio using its knowledge and its three heads.

"Just wait, Wailord. I'll get to see you again soon."

As they worked hard to make these upgrades a reality, things, for the most part, were going well, with only one major pitfall being the money issue. Mayor Mare had a seemingly perfect answer to that and all it would need was Princess Celestia's approval.

However, what she and everyone else thought might happen, may not. Not with how Celestia currently was. Deep in her mind and her heart, Princess Celestia had other things in mind.

As the journey continues.

Chapter 493 End.

I think Fluttershy is going too much on the Pokémon House. I mean a massive hole for Wailord is crazy. The sea is where he belongs, I mean its the largest body of water for the largest Pokémon in the world (I know Eternamax Eternatus is bigger than Wailord but I’m only using natural height that doesn’t involved Galar Particles, and Mega Evolution.)
