Meanwhile Alan stood next to the megalith and was in deep thoughts. He thought about Manon and how they had met each other. How he had told her to stop following him, but she hadn't listen and went after him. She was so persistent. Even when he had left her at the Pokémon Center she came after him. In the end Alan had accepted her as his travel companion and she was from day to day more important to him, but he hadn't realized it until now. But that doesn't matter anymore. She must hate me now for the things that I said to her. Even if Alan felt sad his face showed still an emotionless expression.

''Alan!''

He turned around to the source of the voice.

''Manon?'' Alan said surprised.

She showed him her brightest smile as answer and went over to him.

''Why are you here?'' Alan asked serious.

''Why? Me, Hari-san and Daigo-san are here to help you'' Manon answered smiling.

''The champ is here?'' Alan asked while looking around.

''I don't see him'' he added.

''Well, I ran ahead'' Manon said embarrassed.

The automatic door opened again and Daigo came in. He went to Alan, Manon and Hari-san.

''Why are you in Kalos?'' Alan asked.

''I had a bad feeling when you hang up, so I flew to Lumiose City. I went to the Pokémon Center and met Manon-kun crying. She told me everything. And now we are here to help you'' Daigo explained.

''Do you have a plan to stop Fleur-de-lis?'' Alan asked curious.

Daigo nodded.

''Interesting. Tell me your plan to stop me Daigo-san'' Fleur-de-lis, who had just entered the room, demanded smirking.

''As if we would tell you our plan'' Manon shouted angry.

Fleur-de-lis stayed unimpressed by that.

''Alan you battle Fleur-de-lis-san while me and Manon-kun will take care of his subordinates'' Daigo explained to him.

He looked shortly to Manon.

''Don't worry, she stays with me. I'll keep her safe'' Daigo said.

Alan nodded and went over to Fleur-de-lis.

''I challenge you to a battle Fleur-de-lis'' Alan said serious.

''You want to battle me?'' Fleur-de-lis asked arrogantly.

''Did you forget how it ended the last time you battled me?'' he added smirking.

''No, but I'm much stronger now'' Alan said confident.

''Is that so? Then follow me'' Fleur-de-lis ordered.

Alan followed him through the door on the right side.

''Alan!'' Manon called and wanted to run after him, but was hold back by Daigo. She looked at him with a worried expression.

''Manon-kun, I promised him to keep you safe and that I stay by your side. To keep this promise you mustn't run after him'' Daigo said calmly.

''But'' Manon said concerned.

''He'll be fine. You know him better than I. He is strong'' Daigo said gentle.

''You're right. He will win against Fleur-de-lis-san'' Manon said determined.

Then many people entered the room from different sides. These were the subordinates of Fleur-de-lis, who were called via Holo Caster. Daigo released his different colored Metagross from its Pokéball and Manon did the same with Fla-chan, her Flabebe. While Daigo only needed Metagross to fight Manon used Fla-chan and Hari-san at the same time.

The door through which Alan went a moment ago led to a big room. An official Pokémon battlefield took almost the entire space of the room. In the back left corner of the room lay a rope.

Alan stepped to the marked position for him while Fleur-de-lis walked across the room to the other marked position.

''Kaenjishi, come out!'' Fleur-de-lis ordered grinning while he threw the Pokéball.

The ball opened and released a Pokémon, which had the appearance of a male lion. Kaenjishi roared dangerously.

''I choose you, Lizardon!'' Alan called serious.

He threw the Pokéball and an orange dragon appeared, who roared wildly.

''Let's show them our best right from the start'' Alan said while he placed his left arm in front of his chest.

''Respond to my heart, Key Stone!'' he said conjuring.

Then Alan touched the Key Stone, which was the other stone which you needed for a Mega Evolution. It was embedded in his Mega Ring on his left wrist. The Key Stone began to shine when he touched it.

''Surpass evolution! Lizardon, mega evolve!'' Alan said commanding and held his left arm up.

The shining of the Key Stone brightened. Yellow rays of light spread around it. The Lizardonite X, which was one of the two Mega Stones for Lizardon was blue and embedded in his armor looking like neckband. It reacted to the Key Stone and began to shine. Light blue rays of light spread from the Mega Stone. Both types of rays connected with each other and conflated into golden rays. When these golden rays came in contact with the Lizardonite X, Lizardon's body glowed in a pink light. While he was glowing his appearance changed.

After the process of Mega Evolution was finished, the glowing disappeared. Lizardon or better Mega Lizardon X had now black skin. The inner surface of his wings was blue while the inner surface from his lower jaw to his tail was light blue. His eyes were red and on each side of his mouth was a blue flame.

But not only Lizardon's look changed, his type was different as well. He changed from a fire/flight to a fire/dragon type.

Every other person would have been impressed by Lizardon's new appearance, but not Fleur-de-lis. He looked almost emotionless at Mega Lizardon X.

''Lizardon, use Flamethrower!'' Alan commanded.

Mega Lizardon X took a deep breath and spat a blue fire beam in the direction of his opponent.

''Use Flamethrower, too. Show them how weak they are!'' Fleur-de-lis said arrogantly.

Kaenjishi did the same as Lizardon, but his fire beam was orange. When both beams collided you could feel the strength of the attacks. An explosion was caused by it, which whirled up dust around the field. The dust cleared and both Pokémon had a few little scratches on their bodies.

''Our strength was equal?'' Fleur-de-lis asked not amused.

A slight smile flashed over Alan's face.

''Kaenjishi, use Dark Pulse!'' Fleur-de-lis ordered.

The male lion jumped in the air and opened his mouth. In front of it appeared a light purple orb, which was surrounded in black and purple circles. Then he fired a beam of these circles from the orb at Lizardon.

''Dodge and use Steel Wing!'' Alan bade.

Mega Lizardon X flew up in the air and dodged the attack easily. Then his wings began to shine in a white light and he dived in the direction of his opponent. When Lizardon was only a few centimeters away from Kaenjishi Fleur-de-lis ordered:

''Fire Blast!''

The lion opened his mouth and spat flames from it, which took the shape of the kanji 大 (means big or great). Both attacks hit their goals and did a little bit of damage. On their clash followed an explosion again.

''Now use Flamethrower!'' Fleur-de-lis dictated.

Kaenjishi took a deep breath and fired a fire beam from his mouth at Lizardon.

''Dodge! Then Dragon Claw!'' Alan commanded.

Lizardon flew up in the air again and dodged Kaenjishi's attack. His claws were surrounded by a light green light, which formed bigger claws. He flew to Kaenjishi and hit him with his claws. Mega Lizardon X's attack was too fast for Fleur-de-lis to react at it. Because of the type this attack did more damage than Steel Wing.

''Kaenjishi, use Dark Pulse!'' Fleur-de-lis said slightly angry.

Kaenjishi opened his mouth again and the light purple orb, which was surrounded in black and purple circles appeared in front of it. Then he fired a beam of these circles from the orb in the direction of his opponent.

''Lizardon counter with Flamethrower!'' Alan bade.

The dragon took a deep breath and spat a blue fire beam at Kaenjishi's Dark Pulse. Their attacks collided. This time Lizardon's Flamethrower was stronger. It broke through the lion's attack and hit him.

''Use Fire Blast!'' Fleur-de-lis ordered angry.

Kaenjishi jumped in the air and fired flames from his mouth, which took the shape of the kanji 大. He used it so fast, that Lizardon couldn't dodge the attack and got hit.

Both Pokémon had reached their limits and were heavily breathing.

''Now finish it with Blast Burn!'' Alan commanded.

Mega Lizardon X slammed his right fist to the ground. This created cracks on it, which spread in the direction of Kaenjishi. Under Kaenjishi's feet quivered the ground and parts of it broke apart. These parts of the ground on which Kaenjishi was standing, were pressed up. Through the empty spaces on it a wall of fire appeared, which pressed the lion higher and caught him in a cage of fire. Then the fire stopped abruptly and Kaenjishi fell down to the ground. He landed unconscious in front of Fleur-de-lis.

''That's impossible! I can't loose!'' Fleur-de-lis said shocked and called Kaenjishi back in his Pokéball.

Lizardon turned into his normal form and Alan walked to him, put his right hand on Lizardon's head, stroked it and returned him into his Pokéball while he slightly smiled.

While Fleur-de-lis still couldn't believe his defeat, Alan went to the back left corner and picked up the rope. Then he approached Fleur-de-lis and tied up his hands. Fleur-de-lis noticed that not until it was too late. He began to struggle and was angry, but the bonds didn't want to loosen. Alan took the free end of the rope and exited the room with Fleur-de-lis in tow.
