Third Person's POV

Our heroes are continuing on their road to the next destination where Ash and Eli's next Gym Battle takes place.

"Oh, this is such a beautiful weather; it feels so nice out" Serena stated while stretching her arms.

"The best thing to do on a day like this is run!" Ash then said before running off with Pikachu leaving most of our heroes dumbfounded while the others were laughing

Eli smiles at Ash's enthusiasm but stops walking and looks back.

Gary then notices the blue hair male stop walking "What's wrong?" he asked.

"I hear rollerblades heading this direction" Eli tell Gary which he then hears the sound as well.

"I see, let's catch up with the others" Gary then said before both he and Eli runs ahead catching up with Ash and the others which they all meet up with a long blonde-haired female.

The Girl's a tall and slender with very long creamy blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She has gray eyes and a fair complexion. Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the Mega Ring. She also wears white boots with red heart decals, which also function as skates.

"Who are you?" Ash questions looking at the female confusingly.

Clemont pushes up his glasses "Can we help you with something?"

"Number ninety-nine and a hundred and those are gonna be you!" the female stated cheerfully referring to both Ash and Eli.

Ash seems not understanding with her choice of words "Number Ninety-nine and one hundred? What are you talking about?" Ash questioned.

"Ash, I'm guessing that she had fought and defeated ninety-eight trainers previously and now she sees us as her opponents' number ninety-nine and one hundred" Eli explains.

"That's right! I'm talking about you and I having a Pokémon battle!" the blonde female stated.

"So you're a trainer, too?" Clemont questions.

The blonde nods "That's right, Korrina's my name and my partner's over there" she introduces herself.

Ash and the others look back and they see a Lucario carrying a backpack running toward them before jumping over and lands next to Korrina, On the road to Shalour City and Ash and Eli's Next Gym Battle our heroes have an unexpected encounter with a Trainer named Korrina along with her Partner Lucario.

'Her Lucario reminds me of Kai's and Mylene's Lucario, yet it seems different comparing to them' Eli thought seeing the Fighting and Steel Type Pokémon.

Ash Pull out his Pokédex and scans Lucario.

"Lucario, the Aura Pokémon and the evolved form of Riolu; Lucario reads the thoughts of others and anticipates their movements by sensing their auras."

"Looks like a tough opponent!" Ash commented.

"Pika!" Pikachu agrees.

Eli giggles at Ash's excitement "You really are the type of trainer who refuses to say no to a challenge" he said.

"Veon" Sylveon agrees.

Both Korrina and Lucario high-five each other which Eli gasped and notices the Key stone on Korrina's glove on her left hand.

"This is great we're on top form today! So we're on? We're having a battle, right?" Korrina asked.

"Right! I wanted to do some training before I challenge the Shalour Gym anyway!" Ash said before looking at Eli.

Korrina and Lucario look at each other "What do you know the Shalour Gym!" She said before looking at the others with her Lucario "Are you trainers too?" she asked.

"We are, but only Ash and Eli are challenging the gyms and compete in the Kalos League" Bonnie answered for everyone.

"Hi, I'm Serena" Serena introduces herself.

"My name is Bonnie" Bonnie introduces herself "and this is Dedenne" she adds.

"Denene!" Dedenne waves at Korrina and Lucario.

"My name is Clemont, it's nice to meet you" Clemont introduces himself.

"Gary's the name" Gary introduces himself.

"My name's Ash! Great to meet you!" Ash then introduces himself "and this is my partner, Pikachu!" he adds as Pikachu climbs on Ash's shoulder.

"Hiya! I'm Eli! And this is Sylveon" Eli then said before noticing that Both Maddie and Whitley didn't greeted Korrina 'I'm guessing they know each other'.

"Veon!" Sylveon happily cried.

-scene change-

Korrina, Ash and Eli are now standing on the fields where are not too many trees and where they have more room for movement Pikachu run up before making a battle stance.

"Alright then battle begin!" Eli shouts announcing that the battle starts.

"Let's do this, buddy! Quick Attack!" Ash tells Pikachu who gets outlined by white light and runs towards Lucario.

"Lucario stop them!" Korrina yelled as Lucario runs towards Pikachu and stands still taking the Normal type move head on.

"Iron Tail, let's go!" Ash yells as Pikachu's tail glows with silver-ish white light and attends to hit Lucario only to be blocked by the Aura Pokémon

"It deflected it" Bonnie stated with shock yet amazed.

"I get the feeling that Lucario is capable of much more" Clemont said

Whitley nod agreeing with the blonde male "beating it won't be easy" he said as Maddie nod.

"Let's keep up the pressure, Pikachu! We'll be fine!" Ash stated with a reassuring tone yet confident.

"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu agrees.

"Use Iron Tail!" Ash commands as Pikachu attends to use Iron Tail once again.

"Dodge it, Lucario!" Korrina commands as her Lucario dodges Pikachu's attack instead of blocking "Now use swords dance!" Korrina then yelled.

Lucario closes its eyes and meditates. Several blue glowing swords circle Lucario and cross together and then Lucario glows red, raising its attack power.

"It raised its attack power" Clemont points out.

Gary nod "could this mean they're about to go all out?" he questions himself while watching Korrina and Lucario.

Eli also looks at Korrina and Lucario 'I heard not to long ago that Lucario can Mega Evolve, seeing Lucario not having a Lucarionite is one thing, but Ash would be in a very tight situation if they have one ' Eli thinks feeling unsure of what would be the outcome of this battle.

"Okay, Lucario! Bone Rush!" the blonde female said.

Lucario puts its paws together and spreads them apart, creating a light green bone or two blue bones of energy. It then hits the opponent with it or them, respectively, or Lucario holds out its hands and creates a light green bone of energy he quickly rushes towards Pikachu and hits it with the bone like a baseball bat.

"No way!" Ash stated looking shocked and so are the others including Eli who was playing referee.

Serena looks at Maddie "Maddie, Bone Rush is a ground type move, isn't it" She questions.

"It is, and it's deadly for electric types like Pikachu and Dedenne, especially with the Sword Dance Power boost" Maddie responds.

Clemont nods "Pikachu's in big trouble" Clemont adds.

'Man, if Lucario's that strong, I can't imagine it mega evolved' he thinks.

the rollerblading female started shadowboxing pumping herself up "Alright; now that's what I call a hit!" Korrina cheered "Okay, Let's keep up the pressure with another Bone Rush!" she instructs her Lucario who charges at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, get up, now!" Ash tells Pikachu who seems to be struggling to get back on its feet.

Lucario hits Pikachu with Bone Rush sending Pikachu up in the air; Lucario's fist light up with orange Energy and punches Pikachu square in the back of its head knocking it our cold.

Eli looks amaze "wow...Pikachu's unable to battle Lucario wins, which means the victory goes to Korrina" he announces.

"Awesome! There it is! The Power-Up Punch!" Korrina cheerily stated as Ash runs up to check on Pikachu Korrina then rolls up towards Ash and the others "Well, Alright, Ash, it looks like we won" she said before pulling out a Sitrus berry and handing it to the ravenette "Here's a Sitrus Berry; this will help" Korrina tells Ash.

Ash gladly takes the berry thanking the blonde female before him "Here Pikachu" Ash tells Pikachu who takes the berry and eats it

"That Pikachu of yours is pretty strong; but you're not gonna be able to beat the Shalour Gym" Korrina tells Ash.

Serena looks a bit unpleasing hearing that "How can you be so sure?" she questions.

Maddie then speaks up "Serena, Korrina IS the Shalour City Gym Leader" she said.

"WHAT!?" our heroes stated looking at Korrina with shock.

"You got that right Maddie!" Korrina said giving the white hair female a thumbs up.

Serena frowns a bit "you two know each other" she then questioned

"Of course, we do; Maddie, Whitley and I used to go to the same school when we were younger" Korrina explains "You can say that we're like the big three of our school, Maddie and Whitley are tied in second while Adam's relaxing in the third spot" she continued as Whitley blushes at the mention of a name that Ash and his friends are unfamiliar with.

"Wow; no wonder you're strong" Bonnie commented.

"Now; that's ninety-nine wins! One more to go!" Korrina said to Lucario who smirks proudly before their stomach growl meaning their hungry causing the two of them to blush embarrassingly "Nothing's more embarrassing than a growling tummy, but we really can't help it at all since Pokémon battle take a whole lot of energy!" Korrina then said trying to play it cool, but she was too embarrassed that make herself laugh nervously.

Whitley sweat drops "of course you do" he said

"I know what you mean; I'm feeling kinda hungry, too" Ash agrees.

"Pikachu" Pikachu also agrees.

"Alright, so why don't we all have a little lunch?" Clemont suggests which everyone agrees.

-scene change-

Our heroes along with Korrina are gathered together eating lunch that Clemont made with Korrina now wearing red sunglasses in place of her helmet and a gray V-neck over her top as well as white high tops with red wheels fitted in the bottom.

Korrina looks at the food with awe "I can't believe Clemont made all of this!" she stated before taking a bite of a sandwich "Delicious! your cooking is number one tied up with both Maddie and Whitley's cooking!" she compliments the blonde male.

"Thanks, but if I'm honest, I say Eli has better cooking skills than I do" Clemont said making Eli pout.

"Don't down yourself like that, you're as equally as good as me" Eli said making Clemont blush laughing nervously while Ash and Gary glare at Clemont.

Korrina noticed this and looked at Whitley "They're fucking?"

"Oh, they're fucking" he responds.

Serena looks at Lucario "how are the Poképuffs; I used Pecha berries to make the topping" She explains.

Lucario looks at Serena and cries happily meaning that Lucario enjoys the Poképuffs.

"Looks like Lucario loves them" Korrina tells Serena.

"Really, I'm so glad!" Serena said.

Korrina goes to take another sandwich before Bonnie notices the key stone in her glove.

"Hey, Korrina; is that a Key Stone?" she questioned.

"It sure is" the older blonde female responds showing her the Keystone.

"A Key Stone" Ash looks surprised seeing the key stone as well.

"I thought so! it looks exactly like the ones Diantha and Eli have" Bonnie explains.

Korrina seems surprised "Diantha?" she repeated before realizing "Wow, you met the Champion?" she asked.

Ash nods "Yeah, we met her just the other day" he tells Korrina.

Korrina then remembers and looks at Eli "You also have a Key Stone" she asked the blue hair male.

Eli shows his Keystone pendant "I do, while My Gardevoir has a Gardevoirite in its possession" he explained.

"We saw Eli using his Key Stone with his Gardevoir for its Mega Evolution" Gary explains.

Clemont looks at Lucario "Korrina, can your Lucario Mega Evolve, too?" he asked the Gym leader.

Korrina shakes her head "Nope! You see, Lucario doesn't have a Mega Stone yet" she answers

"So, you just have the Key Stone right now?" Ask then questions.

Korrina nods "Yep! My grandfather gave it to me" she responds looking at her Key Stone before looking at Eli "hey Eli how you get your Key Stone?" she then asked which everyone look at Eli curiously.

Eli smiles nervously "it was about a year ago when I visit the Hoenn Region when a friend of mine told me about the whole Mega Stone appearing in there so I went to investigate out of curiosity" he begins telling them.

-flash back-

Eli's POV

I arrived to rout 118 in the Hoenn region where my friend and Hoenn Region champion Steven Stone told me to meet up I thought it was something important so and I saw him standing a cross me

Steven is a tall, thin young man with ice-blue hair and eyes. Steven wears a charcoal jacket with two black zig-zag stripes, a white undershirt and a red tie. Steven wears skinny black pants and black shoes with low heels, as well as metallic jewelry on both of his sleeves and his index and ring fingers.

"Hey Steven" I greeted the man in front of me.

"Eli, it's good to see that your journey is going well, and congratulation on becoming a top coordinator" he said to me 

I smiled at him "Thanks Steven, before we get to the point Wallace said hi; now to the main point you said you wanted to meet me again, and you sounded serious, what's the issue?" I said.

"Eevee" Eevee nods while being on the blue hair male's shoulder.

"You know Eli; in this vast world, there are many kinds of Pokémon they come in many types; there's a new discovered type called Fairy type; should you raise different types? or will you only raise Pokémon of a certain type you like? not that is my main concern, but what I do want to know what you think as a Pokémon Trainer?" he asked.

I thought for a moment before looking back at Steven "like Pokémon there are many kinds of people who have different ideals in how they raise their Pokémon, some are good, some are very questionable; I believe that a bond between People and Pokémon is like being in a romantic relationship not only you get to know your partner better, but also get to learn more as you two work together that's how I learned with Eevee and the others" I explained as Eevee nuzzles my cheek.

"I see..." Steven said before nodding but then suddenly we heard a loud cry.

Just then a Latios appear out of nowhere much to both Steven and my surprised before Steven and I run up to the beach nearby where Latios is floating before us.

"Latios!" Steven stated with shock.

I Pull out the Pokédex that Cynthia's butler gave me in Unova

"Latios, the Eon Pokémon. Latios is highly intelligent and can fly faster than a jet by tucking in its wings."

I see Latios getting to close to me which made me flinch and hide behind Steven which I feel his body tensed up; Latios tilts its head confusingly and lowers itself and lays on the ground as Steven seems to have realize.

"D-Do you want us to soar somewhere with you?" Steven question.

"I-I can't" I told Steven he know I'm not a fan of Dragon types.

Steven then turns to me "Eli, come with me; I know you're fear of Dragon types, but you can still trust me, right?" he asked

"I-I..." I tried to come up with a answer but I'm just too nervous around Latios.

"Evui" Eevee looks at its trainer with concern.

Steven looks back at Latios "Latios... I believe that it sought us out for help" he said.

"I-I want to help" I nervously said.

"If that's the case" he starts saying before taking my hand "let's go!" he said as we both hop on Latios I feel like my soul left my body for a moment there Steven grabs my hand and wrap them around his torso "don't let go okay?" he tells me before Latios cries, and we flew off much for my panic.

Third Person's POV

the two males arrived in some unknown island.

"We've arrived" Steven said as he helps a terrified Eli off the Eon Pokémon, he was gonna thank Latios but the Eon Pokémon is nowhere to be seen in a blink of a eye "I don't know what it is... not quite unease, not quite fear... but there's something... unsettling" he said.

Eli glares at Steven "say something I don't know" he said.

"It's an odd feeling, as though I am walking in a dream or an illusion" Steven said.

Eli seems unsure "if this is a dream then I guess we're having the same dream, I guess..." he mutters to himself which only Eevee heard him.

"Once I heard an odd fable; it was said that the two Pokémon that live on this island guard some secret about that great form of evolution: Mega Evolution; could it be that some dangerous element is here because of that?" he questions before thinking for a moment "Come, we should be going" Steven said before walking a head.

"And I thought, I would only deal with one Champion problem for a while, not two" Eli complains to himself before following Steven with Eevee following behind.

Eli and Steven then walk deep into the forest on this unfamiliar island but then they meet up with Latias.

Eli flinches but calms down before pulling his Pokédex 

"Latias, the Eon Pokémon; Latias communicates emotions through telepathy, and the feathers all over its body can refract light, making it virtually invisible."

"Latias... it's beautiful... If I were to describe such beauty in terms of a stone, it would be a Sun Stone" Steven said before shaking his head "No... It goes beyond that... Isn't its brilliance like that of a Dawn Stone? it's as fantastic as a Steel Type Pokémon" Steven added.

they hear steps and they see Poachers running in the forest Eli seems to realize "I see so Latias was expecting their arrival, so Latios came to look for us to deal with them, huh?" 

"Huh!?" What's this!? You!?" One of the Poacher questioned.

"Boss that's Steven Stone the Hoenn Region Champion, I suggest we shouldn't underestimate them.

Eli can't deal with this he calls out Gardevoir "Gardevoir use Psychic! and Eevee use swift!" Eevee jumps into the air and swishes its tail, releasing multiple yellow stars with golden sparkles around them at the Poacher sending them Flying to who knows where.

"That would deal with them" Steven then said before turning to Eli "You performed spectacularly; you were able to protect both these wondrous Pokémon and its Mega Stone thanks to you" he said.

Latias hums happily at Eli before going to a wall and pulls out three stones and one of them has Gardevoir's Color Scheme Gardevoir takes the stone that matches her color scheme out of confusion while Eli takes the other two. 

"And it looks as though Latias may have also recognized you as a trainer worthy of its trust" Steven tells you before Latias' eyes light up and a Pokéball floats out of Eli's pocket "Looks; it's trying to offer you it allegiance; I believe it's trying to show that it wants to be your Pokémon" he says as Latias taps it head on the Pokéball and gets suck into the Pokéball and it wiggles three times and it clicked.

Much to Eli shock he catches the Pokéball "Everyone I know is gonna kill me" he said to himself "Mom's gonna be the first" he adds remembering the times when he sees his mom being upset.

Steven then hands a small stone to Eli "here I think you should have this as well" he said "this is called a Key Stone; I want you to have this so it could help your Gardevoir to Mega Evolve with the Gardevoirite that she has in its hand while the other stone that you have in hand are also Mega Stones an Absolite and an Latiasite" he explains.

Eli looks at the Key Stone with awe "wow..." he mutters with amaze "I can't thank enough, Steven" he tells the champion with a close eye smile.

Steven looks away hiding the blush on his face "T-Think nothing of it, Eli" he responds "with the Key Stone that I just gave you and the Mega Stones that a Pokémon may hold, your Pokémon will be able to archive a powerful boost, quite unlike any usual form of Evolution... Mega Evolution isn't permanent, but only if you're bound by great affection, you will be able to archive, Mega Evolution; I suggest you try it with Gardevoir the next time that you happen to have the chance in battle" he explains "Mega Evolution is a phenomenon that has long been shrouded in mystery; What's a Mega Stone? What's a Key Stone? the process by which bonds between People and Pokémon manifest in tangible power...How do we explain that?" he then continues in a more poetic way in which Eli manages to understand half of it.

"I hope this Key Stone and Mega Stones can bring one step closer to finding the answer to those questions you've mentioned" Eli then responds which Steven agrees.

"If that settles that...Should we be heading back? Together with Latios, waiting so patiently for us there" Steven asked.

Eli nods "yeah we should" he responds

-End of flash back-

"And that's how I became friends with Latias and Latios and gain the Key Stone and the Gardevoirite no big deal" he finishes telling the story 'Obviously I mustn't tell them I caught a Legendary Pokémon because they would freak out if tell them out' he thought.

"So before heading to find a Mega Stone we decided we needed a hundred victories in a row before we went to Geosenge Town; that's what Lucario and I have been doing" Korrina then said changing the subject.

Ash seems to realize something "So when you challenged me you were going for victory number ninety-nine" he said pointing out.

"But having ninety-nine victories in a row? I know you're a Gym Leader and everything, but that sounds a little hard to believe" Serena.

"Oh, I've got proof!" Korrina tells Serena before pulling out a slight scrabbled notebook "See this?" she questions before opening the notebook and show what seems like a Pokémon footprint.

"They're footprints!" Serena stated as Ash and Bonnie went up to see the footprints who they assumed are from the Pokémon Korrina battle before Ash and Pikachu.

"Wow! They're from Pokémon you battle against?" Bonnie question.

Korrina nods "Yup! I asked them to stamp their paws!" she responds as she shows the other footprints.

Maddie smiles "Korrina is obviously one of the strongest trainers we know; before Korrina officially became the Gym Leader, she and Lucario were able to defeat the entire school staff in one day which fun fact: Lucario was still a Riolu at the time" Maddie explains which Lucario stands proudly.

"Damn!" Ash and the other look at the blonde with shock making the twins and Korrina laugh.

"I'm guessing that you two know about this because Shalour City is where you guys live, right?" Eli then asked.

Whitley makes a 'more or less' hand gesture "is where our grandfather used to live, he was best friend with Korrina's grandfather; we were born in Lumiose city, but we basically grew up in Shalour, so you can say that we're raised there" he explains.

Korrina then suddenly panics which alerted most of our heroes "Korrina is something wrong?" Gary questions with concern.

"She forgot to get Pikachu to stamp on the notebook did she" Whitley asked his twin with a unsurprised tone.

"Yep" Maddie responds with the same tone of voice.

Korrina uses a bottle of Ketchup to for stamping Pikachu's paw much for our heroes dumbfounded. reaction.

Eli looks at Bonnie "Hey Bonnie why don't we look for wild Pokémon for you to catch?" Eli asked.

Before Bonnie could even answer a truck appear out of no where

"Attention Miss; is that Lucario your partner?" a voice is heard making Eli groan in annoyance.

"Oh no" he mutters.

Korrina looks over at the truck confusingly.

"What's that?" Ash questions as the truck open revealing to be team rocket in a disguised which Eli's clearly not buying it but unfortunately for him the others do.

"Certainly, nobody suspicious" James answered.

'Yeah, no shit still cute outfit though' Eli thought while looking at James.

"We're the Mega Evolution Consulting Group" James continues.

"Mega Evolution what?"

Whitley whispers to Maddie "sis, I have a bad feeling about this" he tells her.

Maddie nods "I know, they said they're not suspicious, which is a number one red flag" she whispers back.

they see Team Rocket walking down the steps "Our job is to give you a consultation, concerning how strong your Pokémon will become; and what kind of move it'll use once it mega evolves" Meowth explains.

"We're also aware that your Lucario wishes to Mega Evolve, using the Mega Ston from Geosenge Town" Jessie continues.

Maddie, Eli and Whitley frowns at the three suspicious trio as Korrina looks at them suspiciously as well "Now, how do you know that?" she asked.

"See, when it comes to Mega Evolution, we know everything there is to know from sup to dessert" Meowth explains.

'Well play, Meowth, well play' Eli thought.

"A Thorough consultation is in order; I sense our encounter was meant to be" Jessie said.

"Wait there's no need; we're really super strong anyway, and as soon as Lucario Mega Evolves we'll become stronger than we ever were before" Korrina said.

Eli and Sylveon look at each other and get their guard up as they see Team Rocket taking Lucario and Korrina's Key Stone.

Maddie and Whitley look at each other and nod and pulls out their Pokéball and keep them in hand.

"Since We're here, we'll look into Pikachu's Mega Evolution" Meowth then said which Ash and Pikachu were surprised.

Korrina then stops them "How do you know that there's a Mega Stone in Geosenge town, anyway?" she asked.

"Our job is to know all of that stuff!" Meowth responds.

"Along with a key stone is needed to facilitate a Pokémon's Mega Evolution" James explains.

Jessie shrugs "Everybody knows that; A Pokémon will Mega Evolve with the use of two stone" Jessie adds.

Eli Maddie and Whitley look at each other before bursting into laughter gaining everyone's attention.

"These three may be good actors, but they're really bad liars!" Maddie stated while laughing making Team Rocket look nervous.

"Man, I would give you guys the award for comedian of the year" Whitley adds.

'They're onto us!' the trio thought out of panic.

Eli then manages to calm down from laughing "you see, there are different Mega Stones that only certain Pokémon can Mega Evolve, and Pikachu is NOT one of them" he explains changing from laughing to a death serious tone of voice which flinches team Rocket.

"Eli's right! Each of those Certain Pokémon requires its own specific Mega Stone to Mega Evolve! The Mega Stone in Geosenge Town is  Lucarionite, and Only Lucario can Mega Evolve with it" Korrina explains.

"Looks like you three didn't do their Homework right, because If you remember our last encounter the Mega Stone that Eli's Gardevoir possesses is called a Gardevoirite and Only Gardevoir can Mega Evolve with it"

Team Rocket laugh before the truck closes on our Heroes with Lucario and Pikachu inside; they look up and they see Team Rocket flying out of their Balloon.

"Team Rocket!" Ash stated with anger.

"you're too slow to figure out and they been following you around since Hoenn how the fuck you did not tell?" Eli question making Ash sulk into a depression corner.

"That's our name, don't wear it out."

"When uttered by Eli and twerps, it clouds its clout!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all people within our nation!"

"to denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"And James!"

"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare for a Mega-Evolved fight!"

"Meowth, that's right!"

"Wobbuffet!"

"Come back here team Rocket" Ash demandingly yells at Team Rocket while Lucario and Pikachu were calling for their trainers.

"Team Rocket"

"In short summary they're a group of bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon for world domination" Bonnie explains.

"Tiny twerp's right; we populate terrifying and mysterious organization that perform unseemly acts of evil every day" James also explains.

"don't over worry about these three in particular we always find a way to stop their evil plan with no problem" Eli points out to Korrina making Team Rocket now sulking in their depression corner.

"All I care about is Getting Lucario Back!" Korrina said.

"Alright, then leave them to me Korrina" Maddie said walking pass her with her Pokéball in hand "I haven't thought of doing this, but here I go, Lopunny, Let's go!" She said calling her Rabbit Pokémon

"Lo!" Lopunny cry.

Korrina's eyes widen with shock when she sees a Mega Stone in Lopunny's Anklet "Maddie, don't tell me that you"

Maddie nods before rolling up her sleeve showing off her Mega ring "Let's do this Lopunny!" Maddie yells before touching her Key Stone "When two hearts become one we'll high five the sky, Lopunny, Mega Evolve!" Maddie yells as Lopunny cries and its appearance changes.

Eli then pulls out his Poké ball "I'm not letting you take all the fun, Maddie, Gardevoir let's steal the show!" Eli calls his Embrace Pokémon who came out of it's Poké ball.

"Gardevoir" Gardevoir cried.

Eli then touches his Mega Pendant "Gardevoir, as both hearts become one we'll outshine everyone else, Mega Evolve!" Eli shouted as Gardevoir changes into its Mega Form.

Both Maddie and Eli see that Team Rocket are trying to Leave.

"You thought we'll let you get away this easy? Gardevoir use Psychic and stop Team Rocket from moving!" Eli tells Gardevoir who's eyes light up with blue Light and Team Rocket panicked "Maddie!" Eli calls the white Hair Female.

"Lopunny use Sky Uppercut on the Balloon!" Maddie yells as Lopunny's fist glows light blue and it uppercuts the hot air Balloon, leaving a light blue trail behind its fist. causing Pikachu and Lucario to break free from the cage only to be caught by Whitley's Bisharp just in time.

"Pawniard Evolved!?" Korrina questioned out of shock.

"Ra!" Lucario looks at the Dark and Steel Type Pokémon with shock.

"Ready Maddie!?" Eli questioned his white hair female friend.

"As ready as you are, Eli!" She responds "Lopunny use Blizzard!" Maddie yells

"Gardevoir use Moonblast!" Eli also yelled.

Mega Gardevoir gathers energy from the moon. It then forms an orb of pink energy in front of its hands and fires it as Mega Lopunny opens its mouth and releases a blizzard from it which Both attacks hit Team Rocket.

"We're Blasting off again!" Team Rocket yelled.

"Wobbuffet!"

"Alright! Maddie and Eli for the win!" Bonnie cheered.

Eli crosses his arms feeling a bit bothered "James said that we should be prepared for a Mega Evolved fight" he said.

Maddie winks at Eli "but looks like they're the ones unprepared" she said before giggling.

Serena watches Maddie with awe and blushes covering her face "Maddie's so amazing" she mutters to herself only for Bonnie to hear her.

'Closeted Lesbian I see' she thought.

"Maddie, Eli!" Eli and Maddie turn only to be tackled by Korrina hugging them "thank you for saving Lucario!" she thanked them while not noticing the dark aura of the Jealous Ash, Clemon, Serena, and Gary while Whitley and Bonnie sweat drop at them.

"And they say I'm childish" Bonnie mutters.

"Agree" Whitley agrees.

"Dene!" Dedenne agrees.

Umbreon and Sylveon laugh nervously.

-scene changed-

"It's time to head to Geosenge Town!" Korrina said which Lucario nods agreeing with its trainer.

"Wait what about your one hundredth win?" Gary then asked the older blonde female.

Korrina seems to realize it but shakes her head "I want to save that win" Korrina said before looking at Eli "when Eli challenge me in the Shalour City Gym!" she states pointing at the blue hair male much to our heroes surprise "I want to see which of our Mega evolved Pokémon is the toughest, Mega Lucario or Mega Gardevoir" she explains.

Eli seems flattered and chuckle "I'm flattered that a Gym Leader like yourself declares a challenge to me, well then Korrina" Eli said before Both Sylveon and Gardevoir stand beside their trainer "I accept your challenge" he said.

"Sylveon!" Sylveon cry confidently

"Gardevoir" Gardevoir nods.

"Ra!" Lucario bark confidently.

"Hey, hope is not a bother, but can we go to Geosenge Town with you? I really want to see Lucario's Mega Evolution!" Ash states.

"Well, I want to study more about Mega Evolution as well, my gramps' gonna so impressed with what I managed to learn so far".

"I want to see that too! What a rare opportunity!" Serena agrees.

"We can't pass up an opportunity to see the secrets behind Mega Evolution, and the Mega Stone with our very own eyes!" Clemont says as Bonnie nods agreeing with her brother.

Korrina and Lucario looked at each other and nod "I'll show you Mega Lucario! you can come with us! Now that's settled, let's go!" She agrees before running off with Lucario.

Maddie and Whitley laugh "somethings never change with aging" Whitley said.

Maddie nods "You can say that again" she said before both her and Whitley run off to catch up with Korrina.

Clemont looks nervous "Do we have to run again?" Clemont questioned.

Eli winks at Clemont "if you catch up I'll give you a kiss!" he said before running off with Sylveon running along.
