Stones of Magical Power: Silver vs. Bryony
The steady knocking on her doors drew her attention over. For a rare time in the fire master's life, her eyewear did not sit on her head. She corrected that quickly, by placing her shades on before heading toward the public. Trekking through her pristine halls, she heard the knocking grow louder and louder, while at the same time, more annoying. She was about ready to put this fool in his place for disturbing the illustrious Malva, especially on one of her bad days. First that idiot girl Mega Evolves her Lucario, practically giving away her identity, then that annoying actress Diantha decides to show up. Truly, things were not going her way. Not to mention the little girl in the overalls. The one who looks like a female Mario. There was something off about that child, something she knew to be familiar. She was not a Kalos native she was something else.
Blast that knocking! She prayed the person on the other end of the door would suffer with that hand! Better yet, her Pyroar would put this fool in his or her place. With a snapping hand, Malva called forth her Royal Pokémon. The flaming lioness stepped up to her master in bountiful strides, before sitting herself down near the mansion's entrance. Malva stared through her door's magnificent windows, seeing a grown man in a brown trench coat.
Perfect. Freaking beautiful. That jackass, that bastard. That infuriating man who made her blood boil. Malva, with an anger filled face, gripped her golden embroidered doorknob. Twisting it, she pulled back and opened the door.
"Looker…" she growled, with her Pyraor growling.
The older man was not disturbed by the fire master nor her Pokémon. He retained his heavy and hard glare, staring down upon Malva like she was nothing. As one would believe, she wasn't too pleased by his sight. Snapping her fingers caused the Royal Pokémon behind her legs to stand firm. This was merely level one; Looker would have to tread lightly if he wished to not see level two.
"You will talk," the fire master stated, "And you'd better make sense!" she placed her hand upon her Pyroar's snout, "Or else my Pokémon will get violent with you."
His eyes slid into a squint, one sharper than he had before. Malva stepped back into her mansion, and eventually, Looker followed. The door close shut behind them. Now standing in the lobby of her magnificent home, the international detective gazed up and around. He was stepping into the lion's den, quite literally, might I add. Malva's Pyroar was peering deep into the detective's soul, as if waiting for him to make a mistake. A mistake she would gladly pounce upon, of course. But Looker kept a level head, and followed Malva as she trekked deeper into her home. There was a pair of doors sitting as the base of her spiraling staircase, ones that sat right at the back. Malva stepped through those doors, and Looker followed suit.
The mansion halls spread apart, as they came to an area wider than usual. Thanks to Malva's lavish taste in fire, this room had flames sprouting from the walls. They danced wildly in the air, whilst giving the room a most brilliant light. In the center of this room was a throne, one befitting the fire master, of course. She was so narcissistic it hurt. Yeah, it hurt real bad.
"Now… why have you come, Looker," the Elite Four member inquired as she sat down upon her throne, "I could've sworn I made it clear that I never wanted to see your hide again," her Pyroar perched herself near Malva's leg, "Do you want me to burn you on the spot? Or are you just stupid?"
Looker raised his hand to his chin, as he always did.
"You know why I'm here, Malva," he stated, his vision squinting, "There's a flying beast that is making of this region what it pleases. I'm here to stop the beast.
"You!? Really!?" Malva inquired with a laugh, "You foolish man! You couldn't stop a basic trainer, let alone a creature as powerful as Yveltal!" she finally calmed down, though her fiery intensity remained, "There's more to your being here, Looker. What business do you have with me, Malva?"
"I know you know something, Malva," Looker replied, "If there's anyone who could locate Yveltal, it would be you," he gazed down to the ground, "And despite my attempts at trying to find the monster, I can't do it…" he looked back up, "But I know you can. Tell me; how did Lysandre find Yveltal's cocoon before?"
"You dare ask me that?" Malva asked, as both she and her Pyroar started to spit flames, "That's top secret information, Looker. You have no right to ask us about our operations!"
"I do when the world is at stake," Looker answered, "Malva, I'm trying to find and stop Yveltal. But I can't do that… we can't do that without your help."
"Is that so?" Malva replied, "Then tell me, Looker, how do you intend on stopping Yveltal, hm? That beast has destroyed two cities already, all by itself. Sure, we can agree that Shalour city was under protected. Yveltal attacked without warning there. But Anistar city had the Kalos region armor there, and they too were stopped by the Destruction Pokémon's might," she moved in closer with a smile, "So how will you, just one man, stop Yveltal?"
"It's not Yveltal we have to stop," Looker replied, "It's Serena. If Serena controls Yveltal, then she's the brain. With her taken down, we can finally save the region."
"If you think that's going to be enough to stop Yveltal, then you are stupider than I could have ever imagined…" Malva leaned back in her throne as her original rage began to falter. She was more relaxed now, and so was her Pyraor. Looker was still tense nonetheless, "I'm sorry, Looker. I am only another confused citizen in the land of Kalos. I just want to know why our mighty Champion has decided to turn on us. I cannot help you."
'Our mighty Champion'. Those were Malva's exact words. Why had she called Serena 'Mighty'? Everyone who knew the fire master knew she hated Serena with all her might. Granted, that statement did sound sarcastic, but Looker wasn't sure. Malva was hiding information. If only he had partner to help him here, he would have surely pressed the Elite Four member for more information. But he couldn't, not in her den, anyway.
So, with a courteous bow, he signed off on this venture. Turning toward the mansion's exit, the international detective began walking off. Malva's eyes followed him endlessly; right up until she heard her front doors slam shut. As soon as she realized he was gone, the fire master turned red hot. She stood up on her feet and yelled, making the flames in her throne room explode and burst.
She was no fool! She knew what Looker knew! She was smart enough to tell that he was on to her. And how rightfully so. Now she had to cover her trails and make sure that bastard wasn't following her footsteps. First things first; taking care of left over information.
Malva sat back down on her throne, while her fingers teased the armrest. It was more than just a normal armrest, however. Sliding back a secret panel, the fire master revealed a series of buttons. Pressing one towards the middle, she caused a hologram to appear before her.
"Malva?" the green-haired woman the hologram showed inquired, "What's wrong?"
"Bryony, go to the Team Flare base in Geonsenge Town," Malva answered, "I need you to find any research information on Yveltal. Once you do, bring it back here," she squinted into the hologram, "Understood?"
"Understood," Bryony answered, "I shall make my way over immediately."
The Hologram switched off, plunging Malva into silence once more. The doors to her throne suddenly opened again. Standing there before her was the Ex-Champion. Her black hair done in pigtails, her lips stained with black ink, her hands clenching tightly upon something.
"Look what Yvonne found!" Aliana, the orange scientist said as she hopped from behind her ally, "I'm sure it will make you happy!" she turned to face her younger assistant, who stood just below her, "C'mon, Yvonne, show Malva!"
It was obvious to the fire master Yvonne wanted to have no part in this. Yet she relented the item that sat in her hands. Malva's shades began to flicker and gleam as the device scanned the piece of flesh. It made the Elite Four member pull back.
"That's… that's a piece of Yveltal's flesh… isn't it?"
…
She held tightly on his shoulders, as her green eyes peered over the edge. Endless blue and white was spread around them, with variable green way down below. Death was close all around here. One miss step, and you'd fall down, down, down, to eventually go 'SPLAT!' against the ground. The simple thought of that made her shuffle closer to the body of the being she road with. The red head was, obviously, not too pleased by this. He began shrugging her off, so that her hands held tightly upon his shoulders at best. Seriously though, that was a long drop, a drop she wanted to have no partake in.
"Do you have to hold on so tightly?" Silver asked, as his red eyes stared over his shoulder at her.
"D-d-don't take that tone with me!" Shauna stated, as she shivered yet again, "Can't you see where we're at? We're," she felt a sudden sense of vertigo, which made her dive head first into Silver's back. He didn't like that, "We're like… miles in the sky…" another brief glance down to the ground, "I don't think this is a memory I'd actually enjoy…"
She once again put her face into Silver's back, which caused his face to heat up red. She was really working his nerves. And, you know what, the thought of throwing her from the body of his Magnezone did cross his mind. He didn't do it though; not even he's that cruel. Instead, he allowed her to continue holding him; truly, he had grown soft.
"There!" her young voice suddenly called, "It's down there! Below us!"
Silver's red eyes peered over the edge of his Magnet Area Pokémon. The route below was much different from any route he had seen in the Johto region. This route was lined with rocks for seemingly no reason. And these were no simple rocks they were large and heavy. Yet they were all placed in a very specific manner. This wasn't some natural occurrence.
As per Shauna's wishes, Silver finally landed his Magnezone. It floated a few feet above the ground, which was enough for the redhead. He hopped down to the ground, then immediately combed the rock-laden fields. They stretched on for what had to be miles. Then again, what did he know? He wasn't too good with geography.
"He-hey!" Shauna yelled as he began to walk off, "Where are you going?"
"Toward Geonsenge," Silver answered as he faced her, "Why? Isn't that where we were going?"
"What!?" she barked, "Are you just going to leave me on top of this thing!?" she would have attacked him, but that would have resulted in her falling from his Magnezone's body, "That's not very gentlemanly of you! What wrong with you, anyway!? Are you from Unova or something!? I thought Johtoians were polite!"
How did anyone put up with this? How could anyone put up with this? Maybe it was Silver's personal being which made him dislike Shauna so much, but seriously, she needed to shut her yap. Unfortunately, he had learned the best way to deal with an annoying woman, was to do whatever she says. That's how he deals with Lyra, and that's how he'll deal with Shauna. For now at least.
His arms reached forth, as he grabbed her around her waist. Though he retained that same nonchalant glare as always, he noticed something happen with Shauna's face. It turned a heated red, especially as his fingers pressed down. He picked Shauna up with his hands alone. She was relatively light, but that made since. Seriously though, how old was she?
When her feet touched down, he immediately released her. Shauna kept her face hard on his for an unspecified amount of time, before turning away in embarrassment. Shaking his head, Silver merely pulled out a Poké Ball.
"Magnezone. Return!" he ordered, making the Magnet Area Pokémon return to its capsule.
After putting the device away, he shifted his gaze down Route 10. And not even a few seconds later he began walking. His hands were in his pockets, and his attentions lied solely ahead. As expected, Shauna remained behind, her knees trembling for seemingly no reason. Then, after swallowing her spit, she began to follow.
Route 10 was unusually silent. Normally it is filled with mystics or scholars of the past. This entire route was a graveyard for Pokémon that lost their lives in the war, after all. It wasn't long until after the hole Team Flare scandal, that it was revealed how these Pokémon lost their lives. To power a machine which should have killed everyone in the region. Maybe that's why no one was here. A place so synonymous with death; why would anyone come here? Who knows? Yveltal could be lurking within its many rocks.
Silver and Shauna strolled the silent route all by themselves. The redhead was as coy as he usually was, with his hands in his pockets. He didn't say anything, rending him just as mute as the land around them.
"I fought here once…" Shauna suddenly said, which made Silver's head cock to one side, "Team Flare, they're an evil group but they don't exist anymore, was trying to use these rocks to power a doomsday weapon. Thee doomsday weapon. Apparently, the stones could power the weapon, as if the Pokémon's souls still existed within these rocks. I don't really get it…" she grew silent briefly, "It was all really scary. The sky got dark, and there was a loud explosion. Turns out Team Flare was trying to use the weapon to kill everyone in the region," she silently began to tear up, "I don't know why anyone would do something so horrible. But…" she smiled, "We didn't have to worry. Serena and Calem were able to stop Team Flare and destroy the weapon…" she grew saddened again, "But now… Serena's using Yveltal to… kill everyone… again…" she looked up to Silver, whose back was still turned to her, "Why would people do such a thing? Why would they find it necessary to kill?"
Silver didn't give her an answer. Instead, he grabbed her, which took her by surprise. Before she knew it, the two were on the ground, huddled close to a rock. Shauna's face began to heat up, as she wondered what was going through Silver's mind. He wasn't looking at her; instead his red eyes peered over the rock's edge. They weren't alone.
A woman in red with green hair was walking toward Geonsenge. There was something about that woman who set Silver's horns blaring. What was she doing here when no one else was? Then again, he could ask himself and Shauna the same question. Maybe she was undeserving of Silver's scrutiny, but he had good reason to. He can tell how a person is by just looking at them.
"What's going on? Silver!" Shauna grumbled, before his hand found her mouth.
That green haired woman turned around, making Silver duck to hide himself. The visor she wore on her face started to gleam a few flashing lights, before settling down. A few seconds later, she turned around, and began walking again. Silver breathed out a sigh of reflief, before his eyes fell upon Shauna.
"A friend of yours?" he asked of the younger trainer, making her peer over the rock's edge.
The sight of that woman with the green hair made Shauna tremble with fear.
"N-No!" she whispered, "What is she doing here!?"
"So she is a friend…" Silver remarked sarcastically.
"No! She's one of them!" she gazed back down, "She's apart of Team Flare!"
Silver raised an eyebrow at her statement. In this world, he never understood the point of villainous teams. They always popped up, at least one per region, and then made a whole lot of trouble. And despite this, they were never that strong. Just annoyances at most. But from Shauna's words, these guys meant trouble. Team Rocket was one thing, but a group hell-bent on committing mass genocide? That's something completely different. If she were here, then that meant only one thing.
They were after the same thing; Yveltal.
"Silver… just be silent," Shauna stated, "We can sneak," he suddenly stood, "Ack!? Silver!?"
"Hey you!" the redhead yelled, catching the woman off guard, "What are you doing here!?"
She stopped, as Silver pointed his finger at her. The woman's visor started to blink, before she finally turned to face him. Red suit, green tie, with green lipstick and eyewear, she appeared to be apart of some cult.
"What a random anomaly," the woman said as she lifted a few fingers, "What are you doing here boy?"
"That's what I just asked you," Silver snapped back, as he lifted a Poké Ball, "I recommend you speak up now, before I get violent!"
She was unimpressed, as a slight scoff came from her lips. Yet, in a still robotic manner, she stepped forward with one hand going behind her waist. When her hand returned, she held her own green Poké Ball within. A green Poké Ball that had a strange flame insignia placed upon it.
"Last chance, yeah?" the woman replied, "I recommend you step down or else," her green visor began to flicker, "The chances of this battle ending in your victory is 42%!"
"I like those odds…" Silver retorted, "It'll make your defeat all that better!"
His Poké Ball enlarged within his hands, and so did that woman's. At the same time, they tossed the capsule devices free from their hands. They drifted through the air at the same time, before releasing the creature's trapped within.
On Silver's side, the Pokémon stood on two feet. It's body a golden yellow; its eyes were sharp to look at. In each hand of this creature, sat a spoon. That may make the Pokémon seem like it wasn't a threat, but oh yeah it was. A threat of the mind, that is.
"Alakaaaaaaa…" the Psi Pokémon, Alakazam, announced.
What sat on the green haired woman's side was worse. Oh so worse. While Alakazam's have relatively smooth skin, this creature lacked skin as a hole. It could have been mistaken for a skeleton, had its body not looked so sharp. And this is not a pun. Its body was compromised entirely of knives. Sharp, deadly, knives. Red, black, yellow, silver, this Pokémon was pretty demented,
"Biss…." the Sword Blade Pokémon started, "SHARP!"
Bisharp? Wow. Was this a Kalos region Pokémon? Silver had never seen one before. Honestly, it was a Pokémon after his own design. He'd need to catch one before he left.
"As I stated," the woman said, "Your chances of victory are simple, yeah?"
"Stop saying that!" Silver growled, "Alakazam! Focus Blast!"
…
The magnificent power that was the mega-evolution. It still rung within Lyra's ears. Seeing that Gardevoir take a form she never thought possible. Its original elegance was replaced by a form fitting that of a ballroom dancer. It was amazing. She couldn't get enough of the image. The Embrace Pokémon, becoming something more. Amazing.
"Now!" the angelic Champion of Kalos called with her hands on her hips, "What do you have in mind, Lyra?"
Could any Pokémon mega-evolve? Lyra wasn't so sure. But if there was at least one Pokémon of her she thought was worthy of this transformation, it was...
"Go! Cynder!"
She tossed her Poké Ball up high, causing it to explode in a brilliant and dazzling display. As usual, of course. From the mouth of the capsule, flames were expelled. Thus releasing the Volcano Pokémon within. The blazing beast fell upon the earth, landing on all fours. The Typhlosion was always angry, but now, she appeared to be even angrier. As if a mere snap of the fingers would set the beast off. Obviously, her anger was born from her recent loss.
"Okay, Cynder," Lyra whispered, "Just calm down..." her face became serious, "We're going to be come stronger," she looked up to the Kalos Champion, "Alright Diantha. We're ready..."
But the angel's face wasn't as poised as Lyra would have hoped. Diantha's hand sat on her chin, as she took a thinking pose. She didn't appear happy, in fact, she appeared quite sorrowful.
"Uh, Lyra," she called out, "I'm sorry but... I don't think Typhlosions can Mega Evolve..."
"W-what?" the Johto Champion answered back, as both she and her Pokémon gained faces of confusion.
"So far, it's unknown if Typhlosions can Mega Evolve," Diantha stated more clearly, "At least, that's what Sycamore's studies show..."
"You said, 'so far', right?" Lyra retorted, "Then that means Cynder can still Mega Evolve," she started fidgeting, "Now, c'mon! Tell me how to Mega Evolve!"
"Whoa, whoa, now!" Diantha stated with a smile, "Maybe I didn't explain Mega Evolutions well enough..." Diantha shook her necklace, making it glimmer and shine, "You see, Mega Evolving is caused not only by these mystical things," she pointed at her Mega Gardevoir, "But also by these stones. These Mega Stones let our Pokémon transform but... there's only been a few discovered," she looked down to Cynder, who was still sprouting fumes, "Unfortunately, it's currently unknown if your Typhlosion is capable of transforming or now."
"Then how am I suppose to win!?" Lyra snapped out as she and her Typhlosion grew as angry as could be, "That Trainer absolutely destroyed us, even though she shouldn't have!' she shook her head, "We can't lose like that again!"
"Shhhhhhh," Diantha's soothing voice commanded, "Calm down, Lyra, it's not the end of the world," she walked over to the Johto Champion, where her hand found her shoulder, "You're a great trainer, I know you are, which means you should have at least one Pokémon that can Mega Evolve," her eyes drifted down to Lyra's satchel, "Let's see what you've got in there."
She released Lyra, allowing her brown eyes to move to her next Pokémon.
"It has to be a Pokémon that means a lot to you," Diantha stated, "One which will lend its powers to you without a second thought," she gracefully walked back to her Mega Gardevoir, "What Pokémon will that be?"
Diantha's words seemed to match Cynder the best, and only Cynder. What other Pokémon would lend its powers to Lyra without second guessing itself? What other Pokémon meant a lot to her? Well, all her Pokémon mean something to her, she'd never choose favorites. But what Pokémon seemed to be beyond the rest, excluding Cynder? Funny, she felt a dark force flow through her mind. A dark force which reminded her of a certain red-headed lad.
Lyra pulled out another Poké Ball, then breathed in and out hard.
"Okay..." she whispered, "Go! Gengar!"
The red and white capsule erupted in the afternoon sky. And from the flash, darkness fell. It was a being which was far removed from Lyra's tastes. One would expect the young Champion to enjoy Pokémon which were cutesy, but that wasn't the case here. This Pokémon, though it sat on two feet, didn't really need too. Its body was comprised mainly of darkness and gas. Poisonous gas, poisonous enough to kill you if you smell it. Yeah, it's not a very inviting thought.
"Gen! Gen! Gengar!" the Shadow Pokémon stated with its smiling visage.
The deadly being hopped left and right upon its feet, as if awaiting for a battle to come. Or maybe it was taunting the Mega Gardevoir before him. Who knows? It's all in Pokémon language, of course.
"Gengar?" Diantha stated, truly confused, "What an odd choice..."
"Will he work?" Lyra asked as she crouched down near Gengar's being, "He... means a lot to me..."
"Dare I ask why?" the Kalos Champion inquired.
"He was traded to me... by a friend..." Lyra answered with a slight blush, "Can Gengars Mega Evolve?"
To Lyra's surprise and enjoyment, Diantha nodded.
"Yeah," the Angelic Champion replied, "They can," but her face bent down into unhappiness, "But I think I got ahead of myself. I forgot that you don't only need a the right stone for Gengar, which I assume you don't have, but you also need a device which can perform Mega Evolutions."
"Where do I get one of those?" Lyra asked with a crestfallen visage.
"I think I can help with that..." a voice echoed from behind.
Lyra and Diantha gazed over to the trail which lead to their river side training area. There was a teenage boy in blue gazing over them, with his hands in his pockets. How long had he been standing there? Was he watching their session.
"Ah, Calem!" Diantha called, "Great timing," she gazed back to Lyra, "Calem has the ability to Mega Evolve as well."
"I trained with the Mega Evolution Guru at Shalour City," he stated, "It took a while but I figured it out," breaking a smile, it looked as if he would start laughing, "Its actually very easy when you think about it! You'd be surprised!"
"Mega Evolution Guru?" Lyra repeated, "There's a man who teaches this? Can I meet him?"
Calem's face became a visage of disdain, as he gazed down to the ground.
"Sorry but... the Mega Evolution Guru is dead..." he answered, making Lyra gasp, "Shalour City, which was where he lived, was the first place to be attacked by Yveltal. The only survivor was the Gym Leader, and the guru's granddaughter, Korrina..." he looked back up, "but... that doesn't matter..." quickly walking to Lyra, he showed her a strange device which sat upon his wrist, "This, is the Mega Ring. Its what gives us the ability to Mega Evolve our Pokémon..." he began to remove this so called Mega Ring from his wrist, "Just so you know, I expect you to give this back. I really need it for my Absol..."
When he removed the Mega Ring, he slowly placed it into Lyra's hands. Just the touch of the dark device made her shiver. This was something she had never experienced before. And yet, it felt so familiar. It gave her a very specific memory. It reminded her of the time Cynder first evolved.
"And, uh, here..." Calem added as he pulled a black spherical rock from his pocket, "This should be the appropriate stone needed to Mega Evolve Gengar... Its, uh..." wow, why was it so hard for him to talk to Lyra? Maybe it was because she had such a big smile on now, "Called Gengarite... yeah..."
His hand met Lyra's hand, where he traded the spherical rock with her. When the Johto Champion got her hand upon the rock, she seemingly shivered with life. Yes, this was a different level of power. She gazed back up to Calem, where an overwhelming sense of adoration took her. Leaping up, she quickly gave him a peck on the cheek. Before the boy in blue could assess what just happened, Lyra had run off to her Pokémon's side.
"Are you ready?" Diantha asked with a curling lip.
"Uh-huh," Lyra answered, "Just..."
She crouched down near her Gengar's side, as she lifted the Gengarite. Before handing it to the Shadow Pokémon, her brown eyes took in the rock's sheen. It was dark, with purples, blues, and a pink-red, all swirling perfectly with one another. How did something like this hold so much power? She was about to find out.
"Work for me, okay Gengar?"
"Geng! Geng!" he answered with his tongue slinking out.
Lyra scolded the Shadow Pokémon, before finally giving him the Mega Stone. The mysterious stone sank into his body, joining the ghastly insides of his body. Lyra stood up tall, as she slid the Mega Ring upon her wrist. Honestly, she expected a lot of crazy insane stuff to start happening. It didn't occur, but she did feel magical. As if she could do anything.
"Okay..." Lyra whispered to Diantha, "I'm ready..."
"Good!" the Kalos Champion said with a smile, "Now! Place your fingers on the Mega Ring, and remember; it's your very being that allows you to evolve!"
"It's... your very being that allows you to evolve..." Lyra repeated.
Her brown eyes drifted to the Mega Ring. She lifted two fingers. She pressed the device.
Maverick Talks!
Finally! I finished this chapter. Just between you and me guys, I've worked on this story all day. I'm so happy I finished it, too. Let's me place some Megaman.
Anywhoozers, this chapter's title refers to multiple things. First, and obviously enough, it talks about the stones which inhabit Route 10. It also talks about Mega Stones! Because they're mysterious stones with power. Yeah.
I also wanted to focus more on Silver's fight with Bryony, but this chapter got up to five thousand words way to quickly. Seriously, I just looked up and BAM! Five thousand words. Guess I'll save it off for next chapter. Sorry you guys. But, hey, at least Lyra's learning how to use Mega Evolution. And Looker talked with Malva, that was cool, right?
And by the by, Lyra's Gengar is not her Gengar. That's Silver's Gengar from the games, they just traded Pokemon. Maybe in the next chapter, we'll find out what Lyra traded to get Silver's Gengar. Also, who did Silver trade with to get his Haunter to evolve into Gengar in the first place? Seriously, who did he trade with? Himself? Probably, he's cool like that.
But most importantly, Serena has found a piece of Yveltal's skin. Just so you know, that piece was removed thanks to Lyra, when she fought Yveltal briefly. But what do you think Malva has in mind for that piece of flesh? Guess we'll find out later.
And, oh yeah, this is chapter ten. Woot! I didn't even realized we got this far yet!
Anyway, next chapter, Silver and Bryony's battle continues, Lyra learns more about Mega Evolution, Serena searches for answers as Serena, and a very important character comes back to help us out.
Hey. I found out that my favorite Gym Leader is Maylene. I haven't the slightest clue why though. Huh. Maybe its because she's super cute and soft spoken. It warms my heart.
