A/N: I'm not sure what all the Mega Stones are called since some are still unspecified. Plus here Drake doesn't have a Salamence yet, it's still a Shelgon but he does have the Mega stone for it.
The Meeting and the Mystery:
A few days later, the Hoenn Gym Leaders and the Elite four were getting ready for the meeting that was held every year in a different location each time. All Gym Leaders, Elite Four and the champions from each region, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos must attend to discuss problems, mostly if it's an international crisis or relocations or pokemon that needed help. This time the meeting was held in Castelia city as requested from the Unova gym leaders who claimed they had a huge problem involving a group of foreign pokemon.
Ruby's Father Norman, the Normal-Type pokemon trainer and the current gym leader of Petalburg city, was in no mood for this, because of Wally's recent… departure, but he had to attend since it was mandatory so he hoped this was something important.
He was a bit glad to meet Lenora again, though he was somewhat annoyed by her, but still she was a fellow Normal-type user and a friend.
"Hello, Norm!" Lenora greeted, smiling gleefully.
"Hey." Norman greeted nonchalantly, in which Lenora noticed, but later remembered what Wattson told her about the kid that Norman knew.
"I'm really sorry about what happened to Wally." The black woman said sympathetically.
Norman looked at her questioningly and then looked around to see Wattson look away from him. "If I didn't have so much respect for Wattson I'd…." the Normal-type user said angrily, but felt someone touch his shoulder.
"It's alright." Lenora said, trying to calm her gym leader fellow. "You shouldn't bottle up your emotions. It's not healthy."
"If you ask me he should!" A male voice came from behind them. A very elegant man with blue hair and wearing a white cape was standing behind them.
"Norman always flies off the handle when it comes to emotion. He was so mad at his son that he followed him throughout Hoenn just to beat him up." The man said in all true honesty.
"Well that was payback for running away the second we moved to Hoenn." Norman said angrily, remembering his son's disobedience to him, but still he was proud of his son and his accomplishments. "Plus this is none of your business ,Wallace!"
Everyone was socializing with each other… Well almost everybody.
Steven was sitting alone, fixated with the Mega Stones he obtained from Diantha, who sadly was unable to attend the meeting as she was shooting a new movie, during his trip in the Kalos Region. He was always interested in stones and rocks and their relation to the pokemon's evolution but these stones are more mysterious than the common evolutionary stone, which fascinated him to no end. During his visit in Shalour City he visited the Tower of Mastery he researched everything he could about Mega Evolution and he found out that the key ingredient for it to work is a strong bond between a Human and a Pokemon.
He was mostly worried about the Mega stones since he couldn't find the Sceptilite as he was going to give it to a trainer with a Treecko, but now it seems impossible. He did give away the Blazikenite and Swampertite to Sapphire and Ruby, respectively, but he never explained to them what are their functions or what's Mega Evolution, but he did say they should make Toro and Zuzu wear them at all costs, with the key stones in their hands. He wanted them to figure everything on their own, plus mystery could make their bond with their pokemon even stronger. He even gave each Hoenn gym leader and elite four a Mega stone for each pokemon that can Mega evolve, respectively, though Drake was not able to use his Salamencite since his Shelgon still hasn't evolved. He did train it well and it is a formidable battler, but Drake felt it did not want to evolve so he let it be. His mind was elsewhere actually, Iris one of the Gym leaders of Opelucid City was pestering him with questions on how to handle dragon pokemon but he barely spoke or listened, till Drayden came along and carried Iris away from him.
"Alright! Everybody quiet down and take a seat!" An elderly man in a brown tuxedo, standing on a podium, said through a microphone, making everyone pay attention.
Everyone sat on their respective seat. Each gym leader with their region. "This meeting is requested by the Unova league. They claim to have a problem, so if one of you could tell us what it is then we could help."
Burgh, the gym leader of Castelia City got up and said. "I suppose I should, since it is my City after all." With that he made his way up to the podium.
"Hello my friends. Unova had been experiencing problems caused by unfamiliar pokemon." Burgh said though the microphone, causing everyone to talk amongst themselves.
"What kind of pokemon?" Chuck, from Cianwood, asked.
"Well… We're not sure but Brycen was kind enough to tape it when the pokemon attacked his town."
Two employees appeared, pushing a large flat-screen TV to the middle of the room and began to hook it up, then they handed Burgh the remote.
Click!
The TV turned on... "I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE!..." a voice blurted out of the speakers, but the screen had a drunk Brycen on it with a microphone! "YOU OTHER BROTHERS CAN'T DENY!" Burgh quickly pushed the stop button and then looked at the embarrassed Ice-type gym leader.
"WHAT?! So I like to sing Karaoke… Big deal!" Brycen looked away, blushing.
Burgh shook his head and just fast forwarded the tape till he reached the important part. "Yes! Here it is!" he played it.
On screen, there were two pokemon who looked like human and were very similar to each other but still different in a way. The two pokemon seemed angry and were attacking Iccirus City with every fiber of their being!
"Whoa! What got that Gardevoir and Gallade so worked up?!" Liza asked, looking at the screen. Her comment made every Unovan Gym Leader look at her.
"You know these pokemon?!" Burgh asked/yelled.
"Not specifically. Ralts' evolutionary line are native to Hoenn." Liza explained, making every Hoenn gym leader agree with her.
All the Unova looked at each other and began to talk amongst themselves.
"Then you must help us!" the Bug-type trainer blurted through the microphone, causing the Hoenn league to look at him.
"How can we help?" Roxanne, from Rustboro gym, asked.
"You know how to defeat these pokemon, don't you?" Elesa, from Nimbasa City, asked.
"I'm afraid we're not exactly sure if our pokemon can defeat them." Norman said calmly. "These two seem pretty strong, even if they're psychic types, dark types wouldn't work completely since they're dual types as well."
"Well… They're native to your region so you might be able to handle them." Burgh said, hoping this will convince them.
The Hoenn league started to talk to each other, in small inaudible voices.
"What should we do?" Wattson asked.
"Maybe we should help." Roxanne said.
"This isn't our battle." Brawly said. "We can't really force our pokemon to fight in a battle for someone else. The Unova gym leaders are strong!"
"What do you think Winona?" Wallace asked, looking at the Flying-type gym leader, with a smile plastered on his face.
Winona looked away and crossed her arms, not saying anything to the Water-type gym leader.
"Roxanne's right. Maybe we should help them." A young boy's voice said. All the Hoenn league looked at the source.
"Tate. This isn't easy…." Norman said but was interrupted.
"We know that! But I sense that Gardevoir and Gallade are in trouble." Tate said. "We should help! These pokemon are in distress and isn't it our job to help pokemon!?"
All of them looked down, silent, as if in deep thought.
"I'm with Tate! I will do anything to protect psychic pokemon!" Liza said, supporting her brother. "Who's with us!?" Tate and Liza raised their hands.
"Liza. Tate. One of you should put their hand down since you two count as one." Flannery said.
"That's not fair!" the two said in unison. Liza put her hand down.
"I'm with the Twins. If pokemon need us I'll do whatever it takes." Wattson said, enthusiastically and raised his hand.
"Why not! I've always want to visit the Relic Castle!" Phoebe said in equal enthusiasm, and raised her hand in agreement.
"Well, I'm all for a bit of excitement after a boring month like mine." Brawly said and raised his hand. "Plus Humilau City is a good spot for surfing."
Sidney shrugged, as if not caring but raised his hand as well, followed by Steven, Glacia, Drake, Juan, then Flannery. Winona was reluctant to join in but she couldn't say no as well, so she gave up and raised her hand followed by Wallace who winked at her, playfully.
"Okay. Norman aren't you gonna vote?" Wattson asked.
"I don't have a choice, do I?" Norman said calmly and raised his hand.
"We reached to a decision!" Winona announced. "We shell help you."
The Unova league began to cheer happily. "But you must help us as well" the flying-type gym leader said once more, as all the Unova gym leaders began to agree with her.
"Alright! The meeting has come to an end. All of you are free to go, except for the Hoenn gym leaders." The elderly man said through the microphone.
Norman got up and made his way to the videophones. He had to tell his wife that he won't be coming home today.
In Littleroot Town:
Ruby just got up from his nap. His pokemon were all out of their pokeballs and were resting in his room. He made his way, silently, out, trying not to disturb the sleeping pokemon.
Out of his room, he heard his mother speaking with someone. The boy crept quietly and peeked his head from behind the wall.
"When will you be back?" Ruby's mother asked. Ruby saw his father on the screen of the videophone.
"I'm not sure, honey. We still haven't done anything and we have no idea where the Gallade and Gardevoir are. They could be anywhere in Unova." Norman told his Wife.
"Just try to be careful, dear. I know you're strong but still." His wife said in worry.
"Don't worry." The man smiled. "Make sure Ruby doesn't know anything about this, okay!?" he said the last part frantically.
"Why?"
"Well… I have a feeling that these pokemon are Wally's." Ruby's eyes widened at this! Could Wally's pokemon really be in Unova! Why would they go there? "I know Ruby, he's determined to fulfill his promise."
Ruby ran back into his room and gathered a few supplies into his backpack. His pokemon all woke up and looked curiously at him.
"We have to get to Unova, guys! Ruru could be there!" Ruby told his pokemon and returned them to their respective pokeballs. He then used a few blankets and textiles from his closet to make a rope and used it to climb out of his room.
"Hope mom doesn't know I'm gone or dad is really gonna give it to me." Ruby said as he made to the ground. He turned around and was startled at who was behind him.
"SAPPHIRE!" Ruby yelled, falling on the ground. "Don't do that!"
"What are you doing?" Sapphire asked smiling.
"Nothing." The boy said nonchalantly, as he got up.
"This doesn't look like nothing." She pointed the rope made from fabrics.
Ruby tried to think of a good explanation but he couldn't think of one, so he just said what came to his mind. "This doesn't concern you, Sapphire, so go home!"
"It doesn't concern me, huh?" Sapphire said sarcastically and smiled deviously.
"TALK!" Sapphire yelled as she held Ruby in a fierce headlock!
"N-no!" Ruby managed to utter, as his neck was being crushed by the wild girl.
"I said TALK!" the girl yelled again, tightening her chokehold.
"Al-a-alright! ALRIGHT!" the poor boy gave up, causing Sapphire to let go of his head.
Ruby told Sapphire the truth, which made her eyes widen! "Are you sure? Wally's pokemon could be anywhere! Plus those could be any pokemon!" the girl said.
"That's why I'm going! I need to find out if it's them." The boy said in determination.
"Then I'm going!" Sapphire got up, looking at Ruby with equal determination. "You're gonna need some muscle since you barely survived mine." She smiled.
"Fine. I guess you can come. Besides I'm gonna need your Walo to get to Unova." Ruby said, taking out a map from his backpack.
"Alright! Let's go!" Sapphire cheered and the two went on the road, setting off on a new journey.
Somewhere in Unova:
Team Plasma was up to no good as usual. Ghetsis began to organize the team even more. He told each grunt to fight each other and saw that only two emerged victorious. He then gave each of them a Genesect created by their lab. The Genesect are strong and very unfeeling towards everything but were still obedient to their new masters nonetheless.
"Capturing... I mean forcing people to release their pokemon is going to be easy now." Ghetsis said evilly, looking at his fine work.
Colress on the other hand was not satisfied, despite the fact that he made the Genesect. "I wish I got a hold of that Mega stone then those Genesect could've been invincible!" he whispers to himself in disappointment, remembering that night.
