Narrator: 

Last time we saw our heroes, Akuma meets Bonnie and Squishy, who had discovered the fact that Akuma was the clone brother of Ash, and it interested Bonnie and knowing this discovery, she asked him to do a Pokemon Battle to see how strong he is.

Serena, Steven, May, Sawyer, and Max get to see the two trainers battled with Akuma showing off his Mega-Evolution Charizard in mid-battle. 

The group was astonished of it, as Akuma fainted from the intense battle, which Bonnie intends to take of him and tease Serena of the memory of one of their traveling adventures to the group. 

Akuma woke up, finding Bonnie was taking care of him, which caught him off guarded. He asked why, and Bonnie and Squishy told him his orgin and he sees the memory of his brother's reckless save of his partner. 

Bonnie advises him that he is his own person and can make his own choices instead of letting others telling him what to do. 

Akuma smiled at his new friend's words, as he had decided to not demolished his new friends and go save Ash. 

At the same time, Max decided to go off on his own agenda to save his friend as Clement and Bock head with Alain to Professor Sycamore's research lab, to discover more about Mega Evolution. 

What will Max do, and would everyone find him before they do anything reckless?

Find out as the Journey continues!

Serena

We followed Bonnie and Akuma. Bonnie really trusts him, but to me, I'm not entirely convinced if he can be trusted, or he might be an enemy to us. 

Still, why Bonnie cared for him that much? Get a grip, Serena. Ash needs you, as you need him. As we continue on our way, May looked at me. 

"Serena, are you feeling ok? It's not like you to be jealous of Bonnie and Akuma." She said. I sigh, "That's the thing, May. 

We don't know who Akuma is. He suddenly came out of nowhere, and all of a sudden, battled our friend in a match without giving a second thought. 

It's like..." 

"Like Ash would do? C'mon, Ash is really so stubborn and dense, you've known it for a while now." May chuckled at the statement.

I still worried about another friend. Max. Why would he do it, to go off on his own without saying anything?

"I don't like it either, Serena. As his big sister, I am kind of disappointed in him. I know that he cares for Ash's well-being, but charging into battle isn't like him at all. 

My only hope that we can get to him before Lysandre does anything mean to him ." 

Max

Thanks to Ralts' teleportation, we stumbled into a large building. I am sure that Ash is held captive inside. 

"Max, this is dangerous. We should've waited for Serena and the others to arrive." Ralts said, being worried about my decision. 

"Ralts, don't try to stop me. Every minute we spend, the more critical that Ash is. I'm done waiting for the action to come. I say, let's take the fight to Lysandre directly. " I said, as the psychic Pokemon sighs. 

"If you really sure about this, I guess.. I wouldn't stop you. Max, we made a promise together that we'll be together once you'll become a trainer. Let's go." 

My eyes watered, "Thanks for trusting in me, Ralts." As we went inside, I whistled. "Man, talk about a massive space!

You have to give Lysandre credit for making a big space." 

"Hey! You!" One of the grunts said, "What you doing here!" 

"Ralts, use Ice Punch!" 

The punch succeed, as Max exclaimed, "All right, let's get going before they wake up." 

"I agree with that." Ralts replied as both of them continue their way to find Ash. 

"Just hang a while longer, Ash. I'm coming." I thought in my mind. 

Akuma

As I continue flying with Charizard, Bonnie remains silent. I know what she is thinking. "You're worried about Ash, aren't you?"

The trainer is silent, not replying back to me. "Hey, Akuma. Are you sure that heading to Team Flare's hideout is a good idea?" Serena asked me. 

I knew that she and my brother had known each other before I came along, and these memories tell me for one thing: He is reckless when is come to people and Pokemon. 

"What chance we got, Ser? I mean, Max already been captured or worse!" May exclaimed. I am amazed of how brave she is, going after her brother like this, and here I am, doing the exact way.

Is being a brother a good thing? As we landed, we saw something and I knew something isn't right at all. 

Two grunts had been passed out, as Serena said, "It appears that Max already head inside. Bonnie, you and Akuma look for Max. We'll find Ash." 

"Actually, I want to look for Ash myself. If he finds out that all of you being here will want you to run for it. " 

Serena said, "No way. I'm going wither he likes it or not. He came to Hoenn to support me for my dream. I'm not going to let it go to waste." 

I sighed. How in the heck that Ash get her as a girlfriend? It's way beyond me, that's for sure.

" Fine, but we have to be careful with this, Lysande wouldn't like visitors coming, you know that, right?" I asked the Pokémon trainer.

Bonnie chucked, " Please! We dealt with Team Flare before, this would be a peace of cake, Akuma."

Alain

Brock and I head straight towards Professor Sycomore's research laboratory to find any leads towards Mega Evolution. I really hope that he provides something useful .

" You're worried about how Ash is doing, aren't you? It's pretty obvious by your expression on your face, Alain." Brock said, as I was being embarrassed by it. 

"Oh I guess I'm a little nervous. But you're not. How you two remain calm like this? Does it bother you at least a little bit with the world's at stake?"

"Com'on, do you have to ask us?" Clement asked, dumbfound by my question, as Brock sighs.

He shrugged, " Eh, when you're friends with Ash, things will lead into trouble. He is so good at being in trouble, that I've lost count, to be honest with you."  

I laughed, "True that." 

As we head into the Professor's lab, he said, "Oh, what brings you three here, did something happen?"

"Something like that." Brock replied, as that we brought the Professor up to speed, as he scratches his head. 

"Sounds like Ash caught into major trouble. I think this would help." He tossed Brock something, a familiar stone. 

"A mega stone?!?" Clement exclaimed. 

"That is for you, Brock. It is for Onix, and I believe that you own one, do you not?" He winks. "As for you, Alain, I took the liberty of researching for your Mega Stone, and it appears that it also has mysterious abilities, like it can absorb the power of any Pokemon you obtain." 

"How does that work, Professor?" Brock asked. "Beats me. Now you should catch up to your friends, I think they need your help." 

"Right!" We said, as we bolt out the door, as I thought to myself, "Ash, just hang in there, we're coming."
