Colt's POV
"We're here!" Shauna cheered as we arrived at the gate for Lumiose City.
"That wasn't too bad." I said looking around "I expected a longer trip to the big city to be honest."
"Yeah me too." She laughed "Although I wish I had seen something cute along the way.
"You didn't look very hard." I chuckled.
"Hmph." The girl pouted "Yeah I did."
"Glancing over the grass barely counts." I said.
"Watch." She stomped off "I can totally catch something, come out Chespin!"
"Ches!" the brown creature jumped out
"Alright Chespin we're gonna catch the first thing that walks out of those flowers kay?"
"Ches!"
We stood there for a few moments and then the flower bush rustled and a Skitty popped out.
"Aww Yeah it's super cute!" Shauna cheered "Chespin Vine Whip Quick!"
"Shauna's Pokemon shot out tendrils and wrapped up the little kitty that she sharply hurled a Pokeball at. The ball did wobble a bit but quickly snapped shut, capturing Skitty.
"See I can catch super cute Pokemon!" Shauna smiled.
"Okay." I laughed heading back over to the gate "Come on."
As we approached the gate there were two young people conversing at the entrance, a slim blonde haired man and a dark skinned girl with long black hair.
"Hello there." The man said "Have you heard tale of a Pokemon called Flabebe?"
"No." Shauna and I both shook her heads "We didn't see any."
"So you haven't." the man said "They're quite fascinating so you have something to look forward to."
"It's a Fairy-Type Pokemon." The girl said "The recently cataloged type, Type matchups are all over the place now! We've been battling Fairy-Type Pokemon against other types at Professor Sycamore's request. My name is Sina, a beautiful name for a beautiful lady."
"Conceited" Shauna coughed.
"I'm Dexio." The man nodded "Two years ago I was entrusted with a Pokedex by the professor just like you were."
"We'll show you the way to the lab if you'll follow us." Sina gestured "Come on!"
We followed the two through the guard gate and into the big city. Lumiose City was huge, bustling and full of people, I had never really been to the big city but it was almost overwhelming.
"Look at all the people" Shauna smiled "There are even cute Pokemon all over the place."
"Impressive we know." Sina laughed "But unfortunately the city is dealing with some power problems so only the southern half is accessible right now. Lucky for us the Lab is on this side, just down the street there, meet us there when you're ready."
Sina and Dexio left and Shauna and I made a quick pit stop at the Pokemon Center before walking over to the lab.
"It's huge!" Shauna looked up.
"All the buildings around here are." I said.
We headed in and the secretary told us that the professor was on the Third Floor so we hopped in the elevator and rode up. When we got off the elevator there was a man there, he was tall, younger than I had expected with messy black hair on the top of an admittingly handsome face.
Mom actually would like this guy.
"So we finally meet." He smiled "Come this way won't you."
He led us to what I believe to be his office and stood near his desk.
"My thanks for coming all the way from Vaniville town you two." He said "I'm Profssor Sycamore it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I hope you're having fun seeing lots of new Pokemon along the way."
"Thank you for letting me have a Pokemon." I said nervously.
"It's no problem at all." He laughed "Originally I was only going to give it to one child from Vaniville town but when I heard the Racer Grace had a son and was moving there I couldn't pass up the opportunity. You're pretty far from what you know so I thought it be a good way to get you to explore your new homeland."
"What am I chopped liver." Shauna grumbled.
"It's wonderful to see you as well." The Professor smiled at her "Sorry I just wanted to give our new friend the attention he deserves, well then let's say the three of us have a Pokemon battle, you two against me?"
"Wait right here, in your office?" Shauna asked.
"It will be fine." He said taking out two Pokeballs "Bulbasaur, Charmander!"
The two Pokemon popped out and stood ready.
"Come on Shauna." I smiled "Let's go Fennekin!"
"Skitty!"
Out two four legged Pokemon stood ready and the battle started.
"Bulbasaur Vine Whip! Charmander Ember!"
The two Pokemon began a simultaneous attack, both our Pokemon jumped to the side.
"Flame Charge on Bulbasaur Fennekin!" I said.
Fennekin was engulfed in fire and slammed into Bulbasaur knocking it back into Skitty who happily jumped up and tackled it.
"Char!" the lizard got around on us scratched at Skitty only for the cat like Pokemon to jump over it and tackle it.
"Yeah Skitty you're the best!" Shauna cheered.
"Haha…that's enough." The Professor said collecting his two Pokemon "I think I've about figured you out. You're an interesting trainer indeed young Colt, would you mind taking another Pokemon with you?"
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes I insist." He said handing me a ball "This is Squirtle, the one I didn't use in the last battle, why don't you have it."
"Okay." I said.
"Wonderful!" he clapped and handed me a stone "Take this Mega Stone as well."
"Shauna would you like one as well?"
"Would I ever!" she said "I want that cute Charmander!"
"If you say so, I guess that means Serena will get Bulbasaur when she arrives later." Sycamore said "Now you two, go be the best trainers you can be, challenge the world and discover the secret of Mega Evolution!"
"Mega Evolution?" I asked.
"A new type of Evolution that occurs in battle, we're still learning about it and I hope you can discover more on your journey." He said.
"Bye Professor!" Shauna said as we got in the elevator "See you soon!"
"Goodbye." He waved.
"That was really exciting." Shauna said as we descended in the building "Two new Pokemon!"
"Yeah, I wasn't expecting that." I smiled looking at the third Pokeball in my pouch.
As we got to the ground floor we saw a tall man with blazing orange hair talking to Sina.
"So I will be able to meet with him soon then." The man asked.
"Yes, he's just finishing up with some children." Sina explained.
"I wonder what potential they have." The man hummed.
"Well here are two of them now." Sina smiled "Shauna, Colt come here a second!"
"I see." The man looked at us as we walked over "So you received the Pokedex from the Professor? Wonderful indeed, my name is Lysandre, I'm trying to create a brighter future. Oh."
He looked at the Holo Caster on my belt.
"You have a Holo Caster, knowledge is power after all." He smiled "People and Pokemon must work together to make a brighter future. I must be going, give the professor my best."
Lysander was talking to himself as he left the lab.
"I wonder what kind of World Lysandre desires?" Sina said "Well I'll see you guys around, have fun!"
"Oh Hello again." Serena walked in "I was actually looking to talk with you for a second."
"Me, sure." I said.
"Come outside." She said "This'll only take a second."
I followed Serena out and we got a seat at a café, Shauna separated from us for a bit wanting to go see some studio nearby.
As we were sitting there we saw Lysandre talking to a woman in an elegant dress.
"It's Lysandre." Serena said "And is that Diantha? Lysandre is the head of Lysandre Labs, they made the Holo Caster, and Diantha is a famous movie star!"
The man and the woman chatted for a bit before Lysandre left, giving up a polite hello as he did so.
"And who might you two be?" Diantha asked.
"I'm Serena."
"My name is Colt."
"What lovely names." The woman smiled "And your trainers, I bet your Pokemon are truly happy, as a trainer myself I hope we can meet in battle someday, goodbye."
"Bye." Serena said "Wow we just met a great professor, inventor and a movie star in just a few hours, how incredible."
"I know it's pretty crazy, so what did you want to talk with me about?" I asked her.
"Oh that, would you be willing to compete with me to see which of us can become stronger?" Serena asked "I think it would be fun and even since we both left home at the same time?"
"Sure." I said "That sounds fun."
"Great!" she hugged me "Just so you know I won't lose!"
