My Little Pokémon: Grander World

by Amarvax

Memory of the Light Stone

Holon. Holon Settlement. Afternoon.

Returning to its original form was the Holon Region. After the Trickster Dragon had been downed, all effects had worn out after all these months and the standard Holon Region could appear once again. This involved the biomes that had been sent upwards while the settlements were misplaced at lower lands. The townsfolk had their bodies return to normal as well after being stuck as mutated people with Pokemon parts. But some wouldn't lie when they say they would miss some of those parts.

As for the Trickster Dragon. recently found at Settlement Juliet, he had been brought over to the main Holon Settlement where he was restrained from trying anything else. Twilight had called for Equestrian Guards to come for this demon as she still had business here in Holon regarding Reshiram.

"Well. What now?" The Trickster Dragon had magical restraints around his arms. He would gaze at Twilight, waiting for her next action.

"Sorry. Restraining you was the logical thing to do. Especially after what you did. But since you won't be heading back into the box, I figured Discord's Realm is good enough. Trust me."

"So, what's it like in that box, anyway?" Goh asked. "Is it really that boring?"

"Trust me...It is." Twilight nodded in confirmation. What she saw in that box was without a doubt uneventful and dry in so many ways. "Anyways, Discord will know what to do when he meets you."

"Fine...But I'll remember this, Twilight Sparkle." The Trickster Dragon would then be carried away. Much like how he was in the box his magic would be suppressed. But soon released once he gets to Discord, who was above him.

"What about Delta Toxicroak? We haven't found your boss yet, Croagunk." Ash kneeled to face the group of Delta Croagunk who assisted his friends.

"Croa..."

"It's fine. With the biomes back to how they were originally placed along with every location in Holon, Delta Toxicroak should be back in the jungle. No need to go any further you all." Twilight reassured them. The Croagunk would look at each other for a moment, pleased with this news. They would happily nod their head to respond to this. "What was Toxicroak doing here in the first place out of the jungle? You know...since it has the most domain over the jungle."

"Oh, that Toxicroak!" Professor Pine gasped. "You see...That Toxicroak and another trainer made a promise one day. One day, they would become partners when they were both ready for each other. Toxicroak must've thought he showed up again and came here, ready to meet at their best. But, that wasn't the case. I'm not sure he's ready yet. After all, being a Gym Leader takes a lot of work to reach a certain level."

"Oh, right. You still don't have Gym Leaders here." Starlight added. "How many have you gathered so far?"

"Only 3 Gym Leaders, sadly. We need 5 more. Well, thank you for your help, Twilight. All of you." Professor Pine thanked Twilight's group. "Just so you know, you have my full permission to go anywhere."

"You're welcome, professor. But right now, we should be getting to the site where Reshiram was last spotted." Twilight replied. "Ash, get the Time Flower ready."

"You're heading to the Mountain Range. Be careful. The aftermath of that conflict still has some aftereffects." Professor Pine warned. "I doubt that with this whole Super-Earth thing, not much has changed with it. I mean, we're still a small region even with this universal change. But I can imagine the larger parts of the world received some changes if you've seen them already that is. Whether it'd be Johto, Equestria...or anywhere."

"That reminds me...I gotta check up on everyone back at the Human World." Ash would soon think about Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer and how their world was affected by this. "How cool do you think it looks now?!"

"We can check that out later. Come on." Twilight went along as Ash, much like Princess Celestia, was set on viewing the Human World and how it had changed. They bid their farewells to the Delta Croagun, who would return to the jungle. They had the Croagunk to thank for this, had they not shown them what happened to the Settlements and biomes thanks to the Trickster Dragon.

Holon Mountain Range.

The Mountain Range. They had arrived. And the damage from the previous battle remained to this day. Even the entrance to the hidden island where Yveltal's Cocoon used to be was out in the open, no longer concealed by Yveltal's Dark Illusion. But there was no point to this mysterious island's mystery now that the cocoon was gone aside from the crystals that could be found there.

Once here, Ash would bring out the Time Flower, ready to view the events after Rosa Maledicta managed to capture Yveltal. He would place the right at the crater, letting his Aura interact with it. Ash made clear what he wanted to see from this place And the flower would immediately respond, letting out a pulse of Aura which would envelop the area.

The flower formed a memorial projection of only Reshiram and no one else, showcasing the area when it was still suffering from the heavy destruction. Flames were sprouting from every part of this range, even burning away parts of the cliffs.

As for Reshiram, there he was, lying on the ground. The outburst of energy visibly harmed him, forcing the Vast White Pokemon to fall on his face. Reshiram was currently alone because of this. There was no sign of Rosa Maledicta, the vampires, Daybreaker or any of her troops. They all left while Reshiram was on his own. After all, he took on this mission by himself.

After lying there for a bit, the Dragon-Fire-Pokemon would let out a small cry which was followed by his body emanating a light that was as white as his coat. Even as a projection, the brightness of it forced Ash and everyone to squint from the blinding power it gave off. After the light enveloped him, Reshiram would shrink, returning to his restorative state.

This was the moment when he went into a status of recovery as his body morphed into the Light Stone. This much was expected when witnessing Reshiram take on this form. However, what truly mattered was what happened to the Light Stone. They would receive this answer fairly soon.

Once Reshiram ended up as the Light Stone, the ground beneath him would suddenly flare up with flames. Blue flames, to be exact. Even in such a weakened state, Reshiram could still generate power. But it was minuscule, fleeting. Reshiram didn't have much power left so this was all he could muster as the ground and his stone were lathered by the azure flames. Afterwards, Reshiram's stone would vanish once the flames dispersed. The only thing left was a large hole in the ground that did not match the size of that stone. Afterwards, the Time Flower would end the memory projection. That was the last of Reshiram's presence.

"So that's what happened." Ash picked up the flower. "Do you think he went underground with that hole?"

"It's patched up now. Maybe he's still down there." Goh kneeled, searching for this hole which was nowhere to be seen.

"It's been months so the hole's been covered by the recovering land and the altered landmass because of Jirachi. And even so...that was made by Reshiram's Blue Flames instead of the stone itself. It was far too large." Twilight replied. "Which means...Reshiram is somewhere else right now."

"So, he just vanished? Now we really don't know where he is. What now? We came out here to try and find a trace and now we don't have a trace at all." Starlight asked.

"I don't know..." Twilight sighed as the sudden disappearance of Reshiram's Light Stone certainly made it harder. "But that doesn't mean we shouldn't stop trying. Reshiram's still out there. Whether near or far. So let's put our heads together and think of something. Right now...I don't have anything."

"Nothing for me either. Guess we can't do much now." Ash had nothing that came to mind. Something like this required further questing to solve. "Wanna head home now?"

"Sure." Three of them sighed once they were disappointed with the outcome. But there was always another time for them to find Reshiram, no matter how many times it may take.

"You made a good point about the Human World though. Is it gonna be okay? Did Jirachi even know about it?" Goh said.

"All those Jirachis were probably thinking of their own worlds and getting back. When they used their collective powers, I don't think they realized there was another version of our homeworld. Maybe...possibly...I don't know." Twilight shook her head, unable to give a clear answer. "The wish was pretty straightforward."

"Hmm...Yeah." Ash looked at the sky for a bit. There was one possibility with Jirachi's effect. If the Human World was exempt from that wish due to what it was hidden by, it was possible that the friends he made there were out of his reach. But that was one possibility Ash wasn't about to let come true. For now, it was off to another world, even though there was only a major world that existed thanks to the power of Jirachi.

Equestria. Canterlot. Nightfall.

Nightfall had come. The moon had been risen by Luna who was not even present at Canterlot, taking the time to explore this new world. She could now do her royal duties and be a Pokemon Trainer at the same time. For some, this wish brought more benefits than problems.

But some of these problems could be substantial depending on what has changed. Mainly when it came to geographical formations and in this case, portals to parallel worlds. Sleeping next to the mirror that led to the Human World was Arcanine who was joined by Gardevoir. Both were waiting for their Trainer Celestia, who had yet to return after having the same thought as Ash.

Speaking of Ash, he would enter this room, prompting the attention of Gardevoir and Arcanine, awakening them. "Sorry, you guys. Is Celestia here?"

"Garde...!" Gardevoir yawned before lifting Arcanine off her with Psychic. This whole, time, from the early parts of today, she had been waiting before eventually falling asleep. The presence of these two Pokemon practically confirmed that Celestia hadn't returned yet. However, they were not worried about her safety for a moment. "Voir."

"Not yet, huh? I just wanna see if everything's okay over there." Ash approached the portal. "Jirachi probably only put these two worlds together. But there's another Earth right past this portal. I'll meet up with Celestia. Human Form and All."

"Arcanine." Arcanine barked in response. But that bark was enough for Ash to hear. Gardevoir would even give an encouraging thumbs-up, supporting Ash to guarantee the status of the Human World, even if Celestia was still there.

"Thanks, you two. I'll be right back!" Ash adjusted his hat before lunging through. The mirror was still functioning even after the wish came through. The magic never left at all as Pikachu would follow after his partner. However, by this point, Gardevoir and Arcanine had waited long enough.

They have yet to see Celestia's face or even hear from her for what was supposed to be a quick check-up. If the Human World was doing fine, Celestia would've returned eventually and now Ash and Pikachu were the next ones to pass through. Knowing those two, they will most definitely stay behind. Curious, Gardevoir and Arcanine would follow, wondering if something had come up to garner Celestia's absence. Gardevoir even thought that Celestia might have come across her human counterpart and went too deep into a conversation with her.

---

The Human World. Canterlot High. Nightfall.

And immediately after entering, Ash, Pikachu, Gardevoir and Arcanine would collectively bump into each other from behind, starting with Ash bumping into something and causing a domino effect right afterwards.

"Oh! I'm sorry for that!" The one Ash bumped into was Princess Celestia. She was right near the portal this entire time, appearing in her Human Form as to be expected. "Hm? All four of you passed through?"

"Hey, Celestia." Ash held his head, nearly dropping before him, Pikachu and Arcanine were caught by Gardevoir's Psychic. Ash would then spot some familiar faces around Celestia. This world's Twilight Sparkle along with Sunset Shimmer. The faces of Hisuian Zorua and Spike were spotted as well.

"Gardevoir!" Gardevoir would then release Psychic, dropping them before rushing to hug Celestia.

"Sorry for taking so long! I got caught up in this world." Celestia apologized, embracing the Embrace Pokemon. "It's been a while since I tried out my human form after all so...you can imagine my excitement when I came back here. Oh, and of course, the Pokemon."

"Ash! Pikachu!" Sci-Twi would greet them both, prompting Pikachu to jump over Ash and into the arms of Twilight.

"Pika!" Excited to see that nothing had changed at all, Pikachu could happily embrace Twilight who would closely hold and hug the Mouse Pokemon.

"Jirachi really knows how to make miracles, huh." Ash sat, having a satisfied smile on his face. Arcanine would run up to further amplify his ease, licking the face of the Alola Champion. "Aw, Arcanine!"

"So you all came running here after that wish went through." Sunset Shimmer approached Ash. "Gee, we're touched. And thanks for getting that wish off. Princess Celestia told us everything."

"Yeah. Guess that almost settles everything. But I couldn't find Reshiram, Princess Celestia. We tried looking at Holon with the Time Flower and nothing came up."

"That's fine, Ash," Celestia replied. "We'll just keep looking as always. He's out there somewhere. And I know he's waiting for us to find him as well. For now...let's enjoy this new world of ours some more. After I'm not busy with how everything's turned out. You need updated maps for everything after all."

"Ooh! Can I get one!?" Sci-Twi's eyes lit up as she most definitely wanted the map of the new world. "What do you call it now? Is it Super-Earth or is normal Earth just fine? Cause it's not normal that's for sure."

"Earth is fine." Celestia laughed as the name of the New Planet would not change. After all, they all lived on this beautiful blue planet out in the vast expanse of space known as Earth. And frankly, none of them would have it any better. Whether it'd be this Earth, the various parallel Earths of the Pokemon World and beyond, this planet was always a constant. A constant that will never fade away and was as prominent as the many Pokemon that populate this world as the journey continues.

Chapter 9 End.
