-recap-

Third Person's POV

The light fade and our heroes see Lucario's Mega Evolution form in which Korrina was ecstatic about.

Xavier frowns seeing the Glowing eyes "We did it! we really did it!"  he hears his sister stating while running up to her partner.

Ash and Gary look at the Mega Evolved Pokémon "Check it out, it's mega Lucario" Ash said out of amazement.

"Yeah" Gary agrees.

-recap ended-

Lucario waves its arm sideways creating a gush of wind from it but not too strong to push anyone back.

"Awesome, Lucario; your Aura's really strong now! It's the super strongest!" she said before hugging her Pokémon "Wow, this is it! the thing we've been waiting for" she said to her Pokémon.

Ash and his friends runs up to Korrina and Lucario 

"Awesome!" Ash stated.

"Congrats you guys" Eli congratulate them.

"You look stronger than before" Maddie complimented.

Clemont nods "I'm totally in awe" he said while Gary, Serena and Whitley nod agreeing with him.

"All that hard work has paid off in a big way" Whitley said.

Korrina smiles at her new friends "thanks a lot" she thanked our heroes before looking at her grandfather "Well, grandpa? We hung in there and we made it, it was all worth it, right?" She questions Gurkinn before feeling another gush of wind form Lucario's shadow punching the air.

Lucario then kicks the air making Ash and Pikachu flinch that the wind almost made Ash's cap flew off of the ravenette's head.

"You know, we feel your Aura too, Lucario" Ash said.

"It's sure is impressive; the future of Shalour City Gym is bright" McGinty said.

"Yes" Gurkinn finally responds.

Lucario continue to punch and kicks the air making more breeze. 

"What do you know? That breeze feels kind of warm" Bonnie stated.

"That was Lucario's aura you felt; it's being Projected out from its body" Korrina explains.

Serena adjusts her hat "That's amazing, I wonder how much stronger it's gotten" she wonders.

"I've been waiting for someone to ask that" Clemont said while setting up a machine that he built out of nowhere "This will make you wonder no more!" he stated.

Serena looks over "what is it?" she asked.

Clemont smirks "The future is now thanks to science! Clemontic gear on!" he stated while showing off his invention.

"This Device will shed some light on the Power of Mega Evolution; I call it the Pokémon Power Meter" he said making Bonnie look at her brother with a bored expression.

"Boring, but it says what it does" she said making Clemont take a back.

"Now observe" Clemont said while pointing the machine at Mega Lucario "It uses pre-existing Pokémon data as the reference value; point it at your subject, the power on" Clemont explains as he turns on the machine "A Pokémon's power is instantly measured; it's a must-have device if you want to keep track on your Pokémon development" he continues.

"Wow, science is so amazing!" Ash said making Eli and Gary sweat drop.

"Pika!" Pikachu agrees.

"I don't really get it, but it sounds great" Serena then said.

"My Mega Lucario might be stronger than your Mega Gallade, Xavi!" Korrina tells her brother.

Xavier smirks "don't get too cocky, Korri, you can't know that, just yet" he responds.

Lucario keep on shadow kickboxing while the machine begins to act up which our heroes were in awe before Korrina run up to her Mega Evolved Pokémon

"You want to try out your new Power, right? I know you do!" Korrina said as Lucario nodded because it does want to test out its newfound strength.

"Korrina, let's have a battle" Ash tells Korrina who she and Lucario looks at Ash "It'll be like a preview of our Shalour Gym battle" he explains.

"Putting our skills to the test? Yup! I'm in" she responds.

Both Ash and Pikachu are ready to battle and so are Korrina and Lucario.

Mega Lucario's first battle! watch grandfather!" Korrina then said waving at her grandfather who's watching from the sidelines with his friend McGinty.

"let's see how this goes" McGinty wonders.

Xavier frowns 'I just hope it doesn't overwhelm it' he thought as if he's speaking from experience.

"Get Ready for a taste of Mega Evolution! Use Bone Rush!" Korrina commands as her Mega Lucario creates two bone shaped staff of blue energy before charging at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, counter it with Iron Tail!" Ash tells Pikachu who jumps and swings its white light covered tail clashing with Lucario's Bone Rush as if they were swords forcing Lucario to drop one of the Bone Rush hitting a far mountain shocking both Ash and Korrina.

"That's some Power" Korrina said

Clemont looks at his machine and it shows that the powers go beyond the chart "Look at the force of that Bone Rush, simply incredible; it's almost double compared to the reference data" He explains making the girls gasped with awe and shock.

"That's unbelievable" Serena stated out of shock.

Eli nod "you can say that again" He agrees.

"Sylveon" Sylveon nod.

"Lucario's so powerful" Bonne then stated.

"Seems weird for Lucario to miss an attack like that" Ash said making Lucario looks at his paws upset with itself.

"Lucario will be able to control its power in no time, then, we'll be unbeatable" Korrina says as Lucario upsettingly waves off the other Bone Rush banishing it from sight Korrina looks at Lucario "Don't worry, you're not used to your new power, yet, but you will be soon; remember, I totally believe in you!" She encourages her Aura Pokémon who nod and look back at one of the soon to be challengers of its trainer's gym.

"Pikachu, let's show them your speed; it's time to use Quick Attack!" Ash yells.

Pikachu gets outlined with white light and starts charging at Lucario in a zig-zag formation.

"Kay, Use Power-Up Punch!" Korrina tells her Pokémon whose right paw gets covered with orange-ish yellow energy and charges at Pikachu who flinched seeing Lucario's glowing eyes and attends to hit Pikachu who barely dodges.

Lucario suddenly begins to beat Pikachu up pretty badly surprising everyone and get intimidated.

Xavier gasps "Gallade, Help!" He shouted before a Gallade appeared out of nowhere and blocked a full uncontrollable Lucario. Xavier's Gallade has a teal blue scarf tied around its neck with a Mega Stone attached to it.

"Gallade!" Gallade gets on it's battle stance

"Wow a Gallade!" Gary then stated while Serena pulls out her Pokédex

"Gallade, the Blade Pokémon, and the evolved form of Kirlia; Gallade extends its elbows as if they were swords, and when protecting someone, it fights fiercely."

"A Male Kirlia evolves into Gallade while a Female Kirlia evolves into Gardevoir" Whitley points out.

Maddie nods "and both Pokémon can mega evolve" Maddie adds

"Korrina, Lucario's losing control of itself!" Xavier tells Korrina who gasped with shock before Lucario collapse and turn back to its original form

Gurkinn then takes the Lucarionite and hands it to McGinty "McGinty, please take this" he tells his old friend.

"Right!" McGinty nod and takes the Mega Stone.

Korrina rolls her way to her pokemon out of worry "Lucario!" she calls her Pokémon and kneels down looking at her unconscious Pokémon with concern "What could've happened to you? Lucario" she mutters sadden and worried for her Pokémon before remembering and looks at her grandfather and brother "Grandfather, Xavi? is this..." she asked her brother and grandfather for confirmation.

Gurkinn hums and Xavier nods "I'm afraid so" Xavier responds.

-scene change-

Everyone's now at the Pokémon Center and no one hasn't spoken a word since they've arrived Eli, Maddie, Whitley and Xavier seemed that what happened in the battle was expected for them, but they couldn't help but feeling worried for Korrina especially Xavier since it's normal for him to worry about his little sister not just physically but emotionally as well as they were waiting for updates on both Pikachu and Lucario as they see Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff walking up to them with a healthy Pikachu.

"Pikachu!" Ash calls his Pokémon with relief which everyone was relieved to know that Pikachu's alright, but yet worried for Lucario.

"I'm glad Pikachu's okay" Eli said.

"Veon!" Sylveon smiles happily at Pikachu.

"Umbre!" Umbreon also smiles.

Korrina looks at Nurse Joy "Nurse Joy, how's Lucario?" she asked.

"Wait just a little bit longer; Lucario's completely exhausted, but getting better, don't worry" Nurse Joy tells Korrina with a reassuring tone and kind smile.

"Thanks..." She mutters looking down.

"Exhaustion is no surprise; the power of Mega Evolution can be too much to handle at first" Gurkinn explains.

"By power, do you mean its aura?" Korrina asked which Gurkinn only nod in responds making her looks down in guilt feeling she's partially to blame which Xavier didn't like that and looks back at Ash and Pikachu "Ash and Pikachu, I'm so sorry; it got to the point where I didn't know what to do" she apologizes.

"I think that surprises all of us, but that's okay I'll tell you something else; it was probably a surprise for Lucario too" Ash said as the other agree with him.

"Ash's right after evolving, this kind of situation is pretty normal" Gary adds.

"So you shouldn't think what happened to Lucario was unusual, don't blame yourself what happened wasn't in neither of your control as Xavier said back there" Eli also said.

Korrina then feels her head getting patted by Xavier "on the bright side Lucario was able to Mega Evolve without problem, and I'm sure the two of you can work it out" he said to his little sister 

"You're all right; if any Pokémon will be able to it's new power it's Lucario" Korrina then said.

"That's the spirit" the twins stated at the same time.

Korrina then turns to Nurse Joy "Please, take good care of Lucario and thanks" she tells the Pokémon nurse who smiled at the Gym Leader.

"Right! You can always count on me" Nurse Joy said before leaving with Wigglytuff to check on Lucario's condition.

Gurkinn goes to take a seat at the nearest booth while Korrina and Xavier follow their grandfather

Serena then sighed "Mega Evolution is a lot harder than I thought" she commented.

"That's exactly why it's so incredible" Clemont replies

"Was Your Lucario and Xavi's Gallade like that in the beginning too, grandfather?" Korrina asked her grandfather.

"In a way; no one gets everything perfect on their first attempt, but still..." Gurkinn responds while having his eyes close as if he's meditating.

"But still? what are you saying?" Korrina asked.

Gurkinn then looks at his granddaughter "that battle you had with Ash earlier was hardly worthy of praise" he tells her.

Korrina seems surprised yet confused "But didn't you hear what Ash and the others said? We're just getting warmed up" she said.

"That's now what grandfather means Korrina" She hears.

"Don't help her Xavier" the old man tells his grandson.

Xavier looks surprised "But Grandpa-" he tried to protest but he gets cut off.

"I know that you want to support Korrina in becoming a Gym Leader, but this is something that Korrina must master on her own"  Gurkinn said with a serious tone.

Xavier sigh disappointedly 'Like Grandfather like Granddaughter you both can be stubborn' he think before he, Korrina, Eli, Ash, and Gurkinn notices McGinty entering the Pokémon Center with a Box in hands.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Gurkinn" McGinty apologizes.

Gurkinn smiles at his old friend "So, is it finished?" he asked.

"Aye, and it came out great" McGinty respond before opening the box and shows a gauntlet with the Lucarionite attached to it.

Korrina looks at the gauntlet with awe "The Lucarionite; thanks Mr. Mcginty" Korrina thanked the newly arrival old man while taking the gauntlet out of the box to have a closer look.

"And this is for you too!" McGinty also said before pulling out the photocopy of the group photo that was took earlier.

"It's such a great photo" Ash commented.

Korrina then smiles "And now we have a complete set like the one Grandpa's Lucario has" Korrina agrees "Mr. McGinty did make that one too?" she then asks.

"I did and I'm proud of my handiwork along with Gallade's Mega scarf" McGinty responds.

"I'm forever grateful for it, McGinty" he said.

As our heroes are gathered as McGinty, Xavier, Gurkinn and Korrina were sitting on one side of the booth while Clemont, Bonnie, Serena and Ash were sitting on the other side while Pikachu's sitting on Ash's lap as Whitley, Maddie. Eli, and Gary were standing behind them.

"What do you think happened to Lucario?" Clemont asked.

"It just Mega Evolved for the first time, so it probably got carried away" Korrina answers.

Serena then looks at Ash "I wonder; what do you think, Ash?" She asked the ravenette Kantonian.

Ash thinks for a second "Well, it did feel like we were up against a completely different Pokémon than the last time we had a battle" Ash answers.

"Pikachu" the mouse Pokémon agrees.

Bonnie looks down "It was a little bit scary to watch" Bonnie confesses.

"Lucario just went a little wild" Korrina explained.

Xavier crosses his arms "yeah, and the power was too much for Lucario it overwhelms it" he said.

"You sounded like you spoke from experience" Bonnie commented on Xavier.

Xavier looks at Bonnie "that's because I am speaking from experience, when Gallade first Mega Evolved it got overwhelmed by the Mega Evolution's Power that it barely injured itself, there were times where Gallade simply faints in mid-battle which I got super worried and then we did what we always do, trust each other and makes sure that our bond is still one whole, not one sided" He explains.

Serena then looks at Eli and Maddie "does something similar happened to either Lopunny or Gardevoir?" she asked which everyone looks at Both Maddie and Eli

"The first few time Gardevoir Mega Evolved were similar to Xavier's Gallade with exhaustion and sometimes passing out mid-battle but we managed that Gardevoir can stay in its Mega Form for a while longer although Gardevoir still gets fatigue after using it for so long but not bad enough to pass out" Eli explains.

Maddie nods "same here only different that when Lopunny turns back into its original form it could feel its legs sore, as time passes Lopunny could feel its legs less sore than how it normally would feel" She adds.

"Each Pokémon reacts to Mega Evolution in a different way" Gurkinn explains.

"I wonder; what was happening with Lucario?" Clemont asks with wonder.

"I need to find out" Korrina simply said while holding the Mega Gauntlet close to her "When Lucario refused to listen to me it felt so strange" She then confesses.

Xavier looks at Gurkinn who was speaking "it could mean the power of Mega Evolution is simply too strong for your Lucario to handle like Xavier said before" the old man said.

Korrina looks at her grandfather "too strong?" she repeated.

Xavier nods "It's believed the strength of Lucario's Aura is heightened to its limit when it Mega Evolves" he tells Korrina "During a Battle, every nerve in its body is concentrating on battling so it's unable to think about anything else" he explains.

Gurkinn nods confirming what his grandson said is true "that's why its heightened aura awakens its battling instincts so strongly" He adds.

Korrina looks sad and nod "You're right; that instinct totally took over" she said out of realization yet sadness.

"It's not unheard of for a Mega Evolved Pokémon to lose control during a battle" McGinty then said.

Gary nod "Okay, so you're saying that Korrina need to figure out how to control that overwhelming power" he said to the old man in the weird eyebrows.

"That's right and it's a power she must make her own as the Shalour Gym Leader" Gurkinn replies.

Korrina hears wheels rolling and looks over and sees Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff walking back with a healthy Lucario sitting on a small Hospital bed.

Lucario jumps out of the bed before Korrina hugs her Pokémon feeling relieved that Lucario's alright.

"Thanks so much, Nurse Joy" She thanked the young woman in pink who simply smiles in return.

"How do you feel? Okay? You do recognize me, right?" She asked her Pokémon who nod at her while Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff make their leave to head back to work.

Lucario begins to do some gestures that Korrina does making her know that Lucario is a hundred percent cleared making the blonde young girl laugh. while Ash and the others catches up to them.

"Glad you're alright, Lucario!" Ash stated happy to know Lucario is alright.

"Pika Pika" Pikachu's happy for Lucario.

Lucario flexes its muscle "You look a lot better" Clemont said.

"That's right" Korrina then remembers before giving Lucario the Mega Gauntlet "I wanted to give you the Lucarionite" Korrina tells her Pokémon before putting it on Lucario's left arm "It looks great on you" the blonde female said with a smile.

"So chic! Trainer and Pokémon wearing the same style? I'm jealous" Serena said.

Maddie giggles "You'll will find something for you and Fennekin to have a matching style as well, my advice is not just clothing wise, you can find style" she tells Serena

Serena nodded "I'll keep that in mind" she said with a smile.

Korrina sees the two of them before narrowing her eyes at Whitley who looks back at her and nod confirmation that those two are having feelings for one another and Korrina then gives Whitley a thumbs up and then Bisharp came out of it's Pokéball and runs up to Lucario.

"Bisharp!" the Sword Blade Pokémon greeted the Aura Pokémon who startled and looks at Bisharp surprised and smiled have a friendly conversation.

"Wow, looks like Bisharp and Lucario are pretty good friends" Ash commented.

Whitley chuckle "that's because both Lucario and Bisharp are pretty good friends for as long as either Korrina and I could even remember, since they were both a Riolu and Pawniard those two were inseparable" he explained.

Serena feels moved "awe is like seeing two best friends are having a emotional reunion" she said.

"Yeah! I can see that" Gary agreed before he and Ash look at Eli who looks back at them with a warm smile making both Ash and Gary blush and feel their hearts skipping a beat.

McGinty goes up to Korrina "So you all like it?" he asked the female Gym Leader who both her and her Pokémon look at McGinty.

"Yup!" the blonde responds before both Korrina and Lucario look back at each other "It's like a good luck charm" she adds as Lucario smiles and Korrina then places her gloved hands on her Pokémon's shoulders "Lucario, look, we both learned that mastering Mega Evolution is a whole lot of hard work; but you know if anyone can do it, we can!" she then tells her Pokémon

"Korrina, please come with me; I think we should have a battle" Gurkinn says looking at Korrina seriously which Xavier looks surprised since his grandfather doesn't challenge anyone to a battle unless he has a valid reason.

Korrina looks at her grandfather "Wow, have a battle with us? it's been so long" she stated before looking at her Pokémon "Now let's master Mega Evolution this time for sure" she said as her Pokémon agrees with her.

"It appears that you don't understand what Mega Evolution is really about; come outside" Gurkinn said before walking out leaving our heroes confused.

Korrina looks at Xavier who shrugs and give her a apologetic expression while mouthing "I'm sorry" at his little sister.

-scene change-

Outside of the Pokémon Center there is a battle arena where Korrina and Gurkinn are facing each other along with their respective Lucario.

Xavier is standing in the middle as the referee of this battle with Gallade outside of it's Pokéball in case Korrina's Lucario will go berserk again but both Xavier and the Blade Pokémon believe that Gurkinn  and his Lucario know what to do if that happens again, after all they both learn to master their Mega Evolution thanks to Gurkinn.

"Of course, we know what Mega Evolution's about; let's show him how strong we've become" Korrina said as Her Lucario steps up determinedly.

"This will be a Mega Evolution Battle" Gurkinn tells Korrina.

Korrina nodded "All set! Time to Mega Evolve!" Korrina said before touching her Keystone while Lucario lights up and changes into it's Mega Evolved form while howling.

"Next, it's our turn; time to Mega Evolve!" Gurkinn said before touching his Key Stone while his Lucario Mega Evolves.

"Awesome. Two Mega Lucario" Ash says with awe

"Their auras are flying all over the place" Bonnie stated.

"Watch closely, Ash and Eli" Korrina said as the mentioned look over at the blonde female gym leader "We've never ever beaten my grandfather and his Lucario before; not even Xavier and Gallade weren't able to beat them despite the type advantage, we never stood the chance" Korrina tells them.

"Yeah, I heard you" Ash said.

Eli nods "Been there done that" he said remembering the first time he battle his Older Brother Samuel or Sam for short.

"But this time you will beat him for sure and control Lucario's Mega Evolution too" Ash then says to Korrina.

"Count on it!" Korrina says before waiting for Xavier to make the call.

"Alright, make the Mega Lucario showdown, commence!" Xavier shouted.

"Power-Up Punch!" Korrina makes the first move before her Lucario attends to attack Gurkinn's Lucario.

"Block with your aura" Gurkinn commands as his Lucario pushes Korrina's back with its aura much for our heroes amazement.

"It blocked using just its aura" Clemont stated.

Maddie nod "We'd seen Mr. Gurkinn battling before and they still don't fail us at giving us the shivers when they battle" she explained.

"Meaning that everything Korrina and Xavier know in terms on battle were taught by Mr. Gurkinn himself, meaning your ass will be dragged in the dust if you underestimated him just because he's a old man" Whitley said.

"Both Maddie and Whitley are right, Gurkinn's Mega Lucario has complete control over its Aura; the fact is it's only when a Pokémon and trainer are able to understand one another that an Aura Heightened to its complete and utter limit can be controlled like that" McGinty then explains before looking at the Blue Hair boy "and Judging by the expression on your face you've know that already, since you also have a Mega Evolving Gardevoir" he then said which Eli nod.

"Who doesn't" he mutters.

"Come on!" Korrina yelled "stop treating me like a little kid and battle seriously!" she tells her grandfather acting childishly.

Maddie and Whitley sweat drops at this "Oh no" they muttered.

"That's what we're doing; this is how Aura Pokémon should be battling" Gurkinn responds "Now Bone Rush!" he then commanded his Aura Pokémon creates a bone-shaped staff of yellow energy and charges at Korrina's Lucario.

"Alright, use Bone Rush too!" Korrina said before her Lucario makes a bone-shaped staff of blue energy and splits it in have and charges at Gurkinn's Lucario.

The two Aura Pokémon clashes their respective move, and they were attending to strike the other while they're barely equal in speed as they also dodge or block the other Pokémon's striking attempt but to Gurkinn and his Lucario's surprise Korrina's Lucario leg sweeps it making it almost fall on its back but manages to do a moonsault landing.

"Great Move, Korrina!" Ash cheered.

"Awesome" Korrina says with amaze yet looking serious.

"It's best you don't underestimate us" Gurkinn warns his granddaughter as Gurkinn's Lucario undo its Bone Rush "Alright, then, Aura Sphere!"

Mega Lucario puts its hands together and creates a blue ball of energy in between them. Mega Lucario then fires it at Korrina's Mega Lucario who attended to block it with Bone Rush but was futile

Korrina groans in annoyance "It's got more power" she mutters.

"Gurkinn's Lucario's aura is just stronger" Ash states as Eli nod agreeing with him.

"You can do it, Lucario! You're the strongest, right? I know you can beat their Aura Sphere" Korrina said as Lucario struggles to get up before looking up at Gurkinn's Lucario with a intimidating expression meaning he went berserk.

Xavier was the first to notice "Shit" he cursed.

Eli frown "there's that look again" he said as Ash and the others were looking at Korrina's Lucario with worry.

"Lucario! But why?" Korrina questions.

"So the real battle begins" Gurkinn mutters as his Lucario gets on its battle stance.

Korrina Mega Lucario roars before Ignoring its trainer command as it uses Power-Up Punch attending to hit Gurkinn's Mega Lucario who easily blocks it; the berserker Mega Lucario then attends to kick the calmed Mega Aura Pokémon who used it's aura to dodge.

"Lucario listen to me, Bone Rush!" Korrina tells her Lucario

"Aura Sphere!" Gurkinn commanded his Lucario.

As Korrina's Lucario takes another hit from another Aura Sphere and it falls on it's back before turning back into its normal form.

"Korrina's Lucario's unable to battle which means Grandfather Gurkinn's Lucario is the victor" Xavier announces with a sad tone in his voice.

Korrina rolls over to Lucario checking on it

Gurkinn looks at his Lucario "Well Done" he said before his Mega Evolved Pokémon turns back to its original form he then looks over and sees Korrina and her Lucario giving each other a sad yet relieved smiled.

"They've got a lot of work ahead" he hears McGinty telling him as Gurkinn nod agreeing with his old friend.

Korrina looks down with disappointment "It's hard, but why? It Mega Evolved again, but we still couldn't control it" she tells her grandfather.

"I'm afraid the only ones to blame for the lack of change are you two" Gurkinn then said as both Korrina and her Lucario were looking at the old man with sadness "Now Lucario; the reason you're consumed by your aura is because of your overconfidence with regard to your power, attacking excessively without Korrina's command is nothing short of arrogant" Gurkinn says as the Aura Pokémon looks down in shame "And Korrina, because you allow Lucario to do just that it shows you don't truly understand it the way things are now, becoming stronger is impossible" he then says to his granddaughter who looks also looks ashamed "You two have spent too much time together, and because you believe you truly understand each other, you have unfortunately neglected the training the would make you stronger; if this sort of immature behavior that's unbecoming of the Shalour Gym Leader" he then continues.

Korrina and Lucario looked at each other before looking back down "I don't get this; I don't get this at all" Korrina mutters "We've battled so much" she add.

"Why, you fool!" Gurkinn yelled flinching everyone minus Xavier and McGinty "I order you to on another training journey, there's a trainer who has guided me since I was young who lives on Pomace Mountain; this trainer's partner is also a Mega Evolved Pokémon; I'm certain they will teach you what you need to be able to see, beyond the surface of Mega Evolution" he then explains.

Korrina then sighs "Okay" she says as she and Lucario got back up.

Ash then walks up to Korrina "Korrina? We want to go with you; we can train together" he said as Pikachu cries agreeing with its trainer.

Serena then checks on her town map "it's here; Pomace Mountain, found it!" Serena said looking at the map.

"Thanks a lot Serena" Ash thanked the honey blonde female before looking back at the taller blonde female "Look on the bright side, this is all so you guys can become stronger" Ash then tells Korrina.

"Pika!" Pikachu agrees.

Korrina nods "I know you're right, Ash" she said.

"I'm sure training will be a lot more fun if you have company" Serena then says.

"I want to go too!" Bonnie said.

"So do I; we'll go together" Clemont adds.

"I want to beat you guys when you're both super strong; and now that Lucario can Mega Evolve, you'll do it and once you're there I'll challenge you" Ash then stated.

Gary nod "yeah, that would bring a much more detailed report that I can give to gramps" Gary agree.

"The more the merrier, I guess" Eli said as Maddie and Whitley nod agreeing with them.

"But once we mastered Mega Evolution, you won't be able to win a Shalour Gym Badge, you know" she responds to Ash.

"There's no way we can know that until we have a Gym Battle, right?" Ash then says with a questioning tone

Gurkinn looks at Korrina and Ash interacting with one another 'Korrina, Lucario, how will you come to terms with Mega Evolution and learn to use the power of the aura? this is the trial that must be overcome; Now go! to Pomace Mountain!' he says in his thoughts before looking at Maddie, Whitley and Eli "Eli, Maddie, Whitley may I have a word with you?" he asked which the trio looked at each other and shrugged.

-scene change-

Our heroes along with Korrina and Xavier are doing their goodbyes to Gurkinn and McGinty as they begin to make their way to Pomace Mountain; And so, Korrina and Lucario set off on a new journey, complete with a new task; just what would they and our heroes gain from their adventures? More mysteries of Mega Evolution lie ahead as their journey continues.

Bonnie looks over at Eli "Hey Eli what did Mister Gurkinn talked to you Maddie and Whitley about?" she asked.

-little flash back-

"You three know what's like to have experience in having a mega evolving Pokémon, so I'm leaving Xavier to go with you guys on the journey to Pomace Mountain; Xavier had never met this trainer since unlike Korrina he knew what the true Meaning of Mega Evolution is about, and I'm asking to simply not give Korrina any tips on Mega Evolution nor any ideas, this is something that she should figure out on her own" Gurkinn said.

"Personally, I don't have a issue, if that's what you wish I don't mind doing it, because I would say something similar to my granddaughter if I was in your position" Eli then said.

"Neither do we, we do want to Support Korrina and Lucario in mastering the full control of its Aura, but that would be beyond our knowledge, like you said before, Pokémon can react differently when it comes to Mega Evolution, and neither me or Eli had deal with something like this" Maddie said As Eli laughs nervously but shrugs it off remembering a certain Disaster Pokémon back at home.

"Thanks, young lads" he thanked them.

The three of them shake their heads "No problem at all"

-flash back ended-

"He believed that Korrina and Lucario will be able to fully master the Mega Evolution, but is not a easy task" Eli lied while Sylveon hold his wrist with its feelers.

"Oh, I see!" She said before skipping ahead of him.

Yo. Be. Continued...
