Sycamore's Request

Ash and Mega Charizard

The next morning Ash, Serena and Clemont were up very early. Ash was with his Charizard. Testing if it could Mega evolve. Glalie, Gabite, Sceptile, Heracross and Pikachu were watching. Clemont had his Luxray out to help battle against Charizard. Ash tapped had found a set of armour simmilar to what Alain's charizard wore with it's mega stone and Ash had done the same for his Charizard.

Ash and Clemont started their battle. Ash tapped his key-stone and Charizard's mega stone reacted and soon Ash's Charizard was a mega evolved Charizard (X). It was the same as Alain's Mega Charizard. Alain and Sycamore came down at the commotion but saw it was a test to see if Charizard could mega evolve. It was a huge yes. Ash and Clemont had a really quick battle with Charizard barley able to control it's power.

''Ash it takes time. Me and Charizard barely controled it's power at first. In fact the first time it collapsed of exhaustion.'' Alain said to Ash. The group turned to him. Alain smiled remembering the first time. Charizard lost the battle but gained more valuble experience.

Ash recalled his pokemon and was ready to go. Sycamore gave him a Kalos Pokedex to register data with. Ash, Serena and Clemont began to leave on their journey when Ash saw the starter pokemon. They all looked ready for a journey with a new trainer. Ash walked over to them to introduce himself. The Chespin and Fennekin jumped onto Ash after watching his battle yesterday. Sycamore said there was a new trainer and she took Froakie for her partner a couple of days ago. Ash begged to take them but would need to leave two pokemon here or send them to Oak.

''Ash leave as many pokemon here or at Oak's your choice.'' Sycamore said to Ash. He sent out Gabite and Glalie after yesterday they were still exhausted so he told them to rest here for a while. Glalie and Gabite nodded.

''Gabite try and train with Garchomp as well it will help.'' Ash told his cave pokemon. Sycamore nodded at Ash.

''I promise they will be fighting fit next time you see them. I will try and work with Oak for with your pokemon for mega evolution.'' Sycamore said to Ash. Ash smiled and gave over Oak's contact details with his pokeballs. Sycamore gave Ash the pokeballs for Chespin and Fennekin. He recalled them and he, Serena and Clemont left.

Ash, Serena and Clemont began to journey around Lumiose city and soon saw two weakened pokemon laying in the street. It was being attacked by a Fearow, Metagross and Clawitzer. Ash heard the guy giving the commands to attack. Ash had heard that voice before and he wasn't happy to hear it again.

''Charizard I need your help.'' Ash called throwing his pokeball. Charizard's roar scared Fearow, Metagross and Clawitzer. But the trainer turned in shock to see what it was.

''Looks like you never learn Damien.'' Ash called out. Charizard landed by Ash's side as they went to confront Damien. Damien had his hands in his pockets.

''These two weaklings couldn't defeat some power pokemon at the nearby gym. That robot gym leader used a Heliolisk and Magneton to beat this Machop and Hondege of mine. So I am training them.'' Damien said back. He said with venom in his tone.

''Training is working with your pokemon to perfect new moves or power up old ones. Finding ways around their weakness or bringing out inner strength.'' Ash said back. Serena and Clemont nodded in aggreement. Damien challenged Ash to battle his Fearow and Clawitzer if he was so confident.

''Chespin and Fennekin come out too.'' Ash sent his new pokemon out. Charizard, Fennekin and Chespin went to the battle positions.

Fearow and Clawitzer left the weakened Hondege and Machop to battle Ash. Fearow looked at Charizard. Charizard glared back with hatered. Ash understood why. Serena and Clemont ran to the other side. Pikachu with them.

''Charizard let's go full out Mega evolve. Chespin and Fennekin when Charizard has mega evolved jump on it's back.'' Ash called out. The pokemon nodded. Ash tapped his Key-stone and soon had Mega Charizard to battle. Fennekin and Chespin leapt onto it's back and took to the air. Metagross and Fearow went up too.

''Clawitzer use Dragon-pulse. Metagross Flash-cannon and Fearow use Aerial-Ace now.'' Damien commanded. His Metagross and Clawitzer launched the attacks with real speed but Charizard easily dodged. Fearow began following it.

''Fennekin use ember. Charizard when it gets close Dragon-tail.'' Ash countered quickly. Fennekin hit Fearow with ember not doing a lot of damage. But Fearow got close to Charizard and was hit by a powerful dragon-tail. Fearow started to fall.

''Fennekin use tackle.'' Ash commanded again. Fennekin leapt off Charizard's back and slammed into Fearow. Ash cheered Fennekin as Fearow was now unable to continue.

''Metagross use hyper-beam. Clawitzer water-pulse.'' Damien countered back. Fennekin was in trouble until Ash had an idea.

''Chespin Vine-whip to grab Fennekin. Charizard use Slash on Clawitzer.'' Ash used this strategy perfectly. By this time Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy had seen Damien abusing pokemon but were watching Ash stand up for them.

''Charizard lets try a new move use Blast-burn.'' Ash commanded quickly. Greatful that the day before Alain had shown him that move. Charizard's blast-burn hit Metagross and Clawitzer. Both were left seriously weakened after that.

''Fennekin hit Metagross with ember and Chespin Vine-whip Clawitzer.'' Ash quickly added. The attacks were all it took to finish Metagross and Clawitzer out. Damien angrily yelled and recalled his pokemon running off not bothering to heal them. Machop and Hondege were in awe of Ash's commitment to his pokemon.

''Would you like to come with me. We'll go to the pokemon centre first.'' Ash offered. The two pokemon nodded and went with him. Joy came from behind.

''I'll have them feeling good as new as soon as I can.'' She said. Making Ash jump a bit. He smiled and scooped Machop up. Hondege began to float at his side. Pikachu, Serena and Clemont went running with Ash and Joy to the pokemon centre. Machop and Hondege were resting and were recovering better than excpected. Ash, Pikachu, Serena, Clemont and their pokemon were in the lobby. Ash was contacting professor Oak to check on his team. Oak said all were doing well with training. All were looking for a metal coat for Scyther. No luck but Krookodile used dig and discovered all evolution stones and a mega stone. Oak was going to Kalos to give these to Ash.

He had also spoken with Sycamore about Ash's pokemon. They were going to meet to discover what the Mega stone was Krookodile found. Ash hung the phone up and soon contacted Sycamore and made final arrangements. Oak was bringing some of Ash's pokemon with him. They were Absol, Gyarados and Houndour (Strongest). Ash was looking forward to seeing his old friends again. Ash also sent Sceptile and Heracross to Oak's lab for Machop and Hondege.

An announcement came through followed by Wigglytuff pushing a stretcher. Machop and Hondege were totally fine now. They had some training issues. But Ash and everyone went back to Sycamore's lab to meet Oak. The time it took waiting allowed Oak to fly to Kalos. He was at the lab with Ash's pokemon out. Ash also saw professor Birch, May and Stephen Stone at Sycamore's lab.

''We know about the journey. I found these and think they'll help.'' Birch said to Ash. He handed over three mega-stones. May found four to but had given one to her Blaziken.

''Would you like me to tell you what stones they are?'' Sycamore asked Ash. Everyone yelled out yes. Sycamore went and got his mini tester and placed Ash's key-stone. One was a Gyaradosite. One was an Absolite. One was a Mawileite. One was a Cameruptite. One was an Altarite. The final one was a Salamenceite. Ash was thrilled with these mega-stones. But May got her one for Blaziken analysied to but it wasn't a Blazikinite. It was a Swampertite. She gave it to Ash. Stephen then gave Ash a Metagrossite he found deep in a cave. Ash greatfully accepted along with a Beldum Stephen had found near his home in Mossdeep city. Beldum was a great asscet to Ash's team. Beldum was shy but Ash's pokemon made it feel welcome. Ash sent his new pokemon out to meet his friends.

As they all met Ash pulled Oak to one side. He asked if Hondege and Machop could go with him to meet his older pokemon Oak nodded. Ash went to tell them and they were ready to go. Ash recalled Hondege and Machop and gave their pokeballs to Oak. Gabite and Glalie went with Oak to Kanto again. He took Gyarados, Absol and Houndour for training too. After all this Ash and friends went back on their journey.
