The Power of Mega 2 Ch.1
Deep inside of Granite Cave a small group of miners dig deeper into the cavern before a large wall collapses revealing a new hidden chamber.
"Pr. Birch we've found it." One of the miners screams out in the cavern.
Suddenly a large man in a lab coat with a short beard with a small bag at his side rushes towards the group before tripping over and falling into the hidden chamber.
"Pr. Birch are you okay?" One of the miners asks curiously.
"I'm fine, I just need to turn on a light." Pr. Birch says as he starts getting up and then pulls a flashlight out of the bag. "Okay then let's see what's in here."
Pr. Birch turns on the flashlight revealing a large ancient mural showing Groudon and Kyogre locked in combat with odd symbols on their bodies and part of the mural destroyed.
"What is this?" Pr. Birch asks curiously touching the mural.
A few days later in the middle of the ocean in a small boat alongside an Audino a boy with short red hair in a blue outfit sits around looking at his Poke'nav Plus with a news report playing as he sails along.
"In Pokémon Trainer news Champion Cari hasn't been seen for over two months, while many people seem to be worried about her the Pokémon League's official statement is that she is out training and becoming stronger."
"Becoming stronger my ass!" The boy screams out as he closes the Poke'nav scaring the Audino. "Oh don't worry Auno, I'm not mad just kind of annoyed."
The small boat comes ashore on a small peninsula as him and the Audino get out of the boat.
"Okay then we've arrived at the Secret Shore, not I just have to remember where it is."
The boy starts looking around the small area before finding a tall blue haired man in a suit standing around outside of a depression in a large rock wall.
"There it is." He says trying to sneak closer to the man.
Suddenly the man turns his attention towards the boy before holding out his hands as a ball of shadowy energy forms in between his hands shooting it out at the boy before Audino jumps forward and blocks the attack.
"Damn Shadow Ball, I see he's as aggressive as ever." The boy says standing behind his Audino. "I'm not here to fight, I just have business inside that cave."
The man looks on annoyed before charging ahead scaring Audino, suddenly a girl in a maid outfit falls from above blocking the man's path.
"Okay Lati, take care of this." The boy says rushing ahead.
The man attempts to rush to the boy before the girl jumps in front of his path and blocks him staring off at him as he stands around turning away from her gaze, as the boy approaches the wall before a Gallade jumps down from above blocking his path.
"Damn it, I'm going to have a long talk with her about how aggressive her Pokémon are."
The boy holds out a Poke'ball as Audino rushes to his side.
"Well then, let's get this over with."
Meanwhile inside the cavern a girl with long red hair in Mareep pajamas lays about napping on top of a Swampert's back as both continue snoring loudly before suddenly a wall in the cavern is broken apart as Gallade is forced through it with a Sceptile stepping through after it before the boy walks in the cavern.
"Cari wake the hell up!" The boy screams out annoyed as he walks over to the girl. "Damn I come all the way out here to do a favor and I end up dealing with such a pain."
As the boy stands around the girl awakens slowly before stretching out and looking at the boy.
"Oh good morning Faiz." She says happily looking at him before turning her attention to the Swampert. "And a good morning to you Marshal and everyone."
"It's three in the afternoon."
"Oh is it?" She asks curiously before slinking over to a small fridge nearby her. "Oh well then time for dinner then some more sleep."
"No way!" He says walking over to her annoyed. "I've got something important to talk about."
"Oh, well hurry up because I'm tired."
As the pair sit around the man and the other girl enter the room before their bodies faze away revealing a Latios and a Latias that fly into the cavern and sit beside their respective trainers, before the boy pulls out his Poke'nav Plus and puts it on the table.
"Okay then, it's not my request but it's still important." Faiz says seriously as he messes around with the Poke'nav before Pr. Birch appears on the screen."
"Ah, hello Faiz did you find her?" Pr. Birch asks excitedly.
"I found her Professor."
Faiz moves over to Cari's side as the pair look into the Poke'nav.
"Cari, it's been quite a while."
"Yes it has been Professor."
"I still remember when the pair of you came to my lab asking for some Pokémon and I gave you your Mudkip and Faiz's Treeko." Pr. Birch says happily looking at the pair as Swampert and Sceptile look on behind their trainer's backs. "Anyway enough reminiscing, I have something important to talk to you about."
"Oh, well I'm sorry Professor I'm far too busy to do much of anything." Cari says as she starts to nod off.
"Oh be quite, you're just going to take another nap." Faiz says annoyed. "Just wake up and listen to him."
"Fine."
"Do you two know of the incident that happened six years ago?"
"Six years ago? Oh you're talking about the Groudon and Kyogre incidents." Cari says thinking about things. "That was a crazy time, I remember that the sun was so hot it felt like everything was on fire."
"I remember the rain fall was so hard I think it felt more like a bullet."
"Well then, recently we've found something quite interesting relating to those two. There was a hidden cavern in Granite Cave that showcased the pair in a rather unusual form."
"Unusual?" The pair asks curiously.
"It's hard to describe, but it may be related to Mega Evolution."
"Mega Evolution?" The pair ask in unison.
"That's right, ever since the Team Flare incident in Kalos Mega Evolution has been spreading like wildfire on top of that because of Xerneas's energies Fairy Type Pokémon are appearing all over the place."
"Um Professor, not to say what your saying isn't interesting but what does it have to do with anything?" Cari asks curiously.
"Oh sorry, I was trailing off for a second." Pr. Birch says embarrassed. "Anyway there is evidence that Mega Evolution may have existed in the Hoenn Region before the incident, and that mural might be the first clue."
"So then what do you want of me?" Cari asks as her drowsiness fades away.
"Not just you alone, but both of you I'd like for both of you to go and investigate this."
"Really?" Faiz asks surprised.
"That's right, both of you are some of Hoenn's strongest Trainers so I know I can rely on the both of you."
The pair look on each other before looking back at Pr. Birch seriously.
"Professor we gladly accept." The pair say seriously looking on the Poke'nav.
"Well then you both have my thanks, and I have some clues for you on where to start." Pr. Birch says seriously. "Cari you start looking for Team Magma and Faiz you start looking for Team Aqua."
"Wait weren't those the people who caused the incident six year ago?" Faiz asks curiously. "And how are they're still operating?"
"Yes they did cause a lot of chaos, but in the years since they've been working tirelessly to repair any of the damage they caused and help everyone." Pr. Birch says explaining things. "But regardless of their past sins, they're the most knowledgeable when it comes to the ancient Pokémon so we should start with asking them."
"Well either way where do we find them?" Cari asks curiously.
"Team Magma was last sighted in Lavaridge Town and Team Aqua was last sighted in Lilycove City, if your going to look for them start you should start there."
"Thanks Professor." Cari says closing the Poke'nav. "Okay then, let's do this."
"Hey what're you doing Cari?"
"I'm getting ready to head out." Cari says excitedly as she rummages through a pile of clothes. "And you should probably leave while I'm changing."
"Well fine then I'm going to head off without you." Faiz says as he starts leaving the cavern. "I'll meat you in Lilycove city you got that, LILYCOVE CITY!"
Faiz returns his Pokémon to their Poke'balls before jumping onto Latias's back as the pair fly into the sky.
"What'd be the fun in heading to the same place." Cari says jokingly. "Okay everyone, let's head out to Lavaridge Town!"
Meanwhile on top of a large tower a girl with black hair in a grey clock and a black shirt with grey shorts and a blue anklet wrapped around her leg, before a Whismur rushes to her side.
"Well then it looks like something interesting is happening somewhere." She says looking out before stating to walk off. "Well then come on Aster, let's head out the air just smells exciting."
