originally part 48 of game verse story

sigh...atleast the 4th gym is near and FINALLY a show case!

im on ep 58 they are finally at Ramos's city! Weird how in this part they end up in Coumarine city like the anime! Good timing?

Ash:14 trainers; 4 team flare grunts

katerina:41 trainers; 5 team flare grunts

They swim farther up to get to an island to find a dive ball, soon ending up at Coumarine city.

"Katerina. I challenge you to a battle in front of the gym! Prepare yourself!" says Isaac.

They walk around till they find a fisherman who hands them a good rod. They head into the monorail to find Diantha and Sycamore.

"Why? We were gonna see you at your lab after beating my gym!" says Clemont.

"Congratulations! I see you both obtained everything you need for mega evolution!" says sycamore.

"Dont give us that! Ash doesnt have a mega stone! he beat Korrina and only got Lucarionite! While I got the mega ring? No...key stone? Whatever it is!" says Katerina annoyed.

"Ash do you want a mega pokemon?" wonders Sycamore.

"They are the coolest thing I ever came across!" says Ash.

"Hmmm...Diantha I think Lucario and Ash have a strong enough bond right!" says Syamore.

"A strong bond?" says Diantha.

"Its only a hypothesis, but I think the bond between pokemon and trainer is the key to this new evolution. But what is this bond exactly? And why are these examples of mega evolution only in the kalos region? There's still so much we dont know..." says Sycamore.

"Does this make you think of something like Kalos's legendary pokemon? Found only here in the Kalos region? Right? Nowhere else! Maybe thats not a coincidence!" says Diantha.

"Oh! What an excellent point! Indeed! The more there is to research! the excitement never ends, does it? OH! That's right! I came here to give you this!" says Sycamore and gave Ash hm fly and left.

"Bonds...they really are important to us all, arent they? Well im acting, I think im always trying to force a bond between myself and the character I'm playing. If all I think about is how I'm nothing like a character, then I'll just hate playing it. but I focus on the things I'm in common with the character and put myself in her shoes, I might be able to understand her. Its the same for people or pokemon." says Diantha and turns to Ash and friends

Ash and friends stare.

"Oh! Dont mind me! I'm just babbling about my own things! Lets have a battle the next we meet! Shall we? I'm looking forward to it!" says Diantha and leaves.

Ash hands fly to Katerina. Katerina stared cluelessly.

"You use it! I dont do tms and hms cuz I'm anime not game!" says Ash.

"Riiight." says Katerina.

"Atleast not all of them!" say Ash.

Katerina teaches Charizard the tm fly. Ash and friends ride the monorail to an island and head into the pokemon center/mart to heal their pokemon.

They head back to Coumarine city through the monorail.

"I thought you were the fourth! Didnt you tell me fourth gym?" wonders Ash.

"I'm pretty sure it was 5th gym!" says Clemont.

"I guess the excitement of Kalos got to me! Damn...I was sure you were the fourth gym leader!" says Ash.

"Sorry but I'm not!" says Clemont.

"Well we know Lumoise city a little better so we kinda assumed..." says Ash.

"Ya..." says Katerina, "So who's this gym leader?"

"Beats me! I've never heard of this city! Its my first time here too!" says Ash.

"Its all of our first time!" says Serena.

"Sorry I'm late! So could you show me mega evolution!" says Isaac.

"I cant but I guess Ash can!" says Katerina.
