"Mmm! Oh, this is such beautiful weather. It feels so nice out." Serena said as she was stretching as they were walking through the small forest calmly as they were heading more and more to Shalour City.
"Yeah, why relax when the weather is calm?" Alex said as he stretched his arms wide out and took on sunlight.
"The best thing to do on a day like this is run!" Ash said as he was super excited, far off someone was skating excitingly.
"Ash, no." Alex said as he didn't want to run, Ash ignored him.
"Let's go, Pikachu!" Ash said as he quickly running to train.
"Ash, what are you doing?!" Serena cried out, seeing Ash head off with a surprise run, which annoyed Alex.
"Always rushing ahead. Gosh. Wait for me." Alex said as he was slightly bothered by Ash's running during beautiful times like this.
"Huh..." Clemont moaned as he hated that Ash's off to the races.
"Hahah." Bonnie chuckled as she was excited.
"Oh." Clemont groaned as they followed Ash. As Ash continued running, some skater leaped from one of the sides and made a huge leap. Alex noticed and called out to Ash.
"Ash! LOOK OUT!" Alex called and shouted as the skating girl was excited!
"I found a Trainer! Ha-ha-ha!" The girl said as she managed to jump ahead of Ash, stopped and looked at him head on.
"Huh? Who are you?" Ash said as the others caught up.
"What do you want from us?" Alex asked as he was confused.
"Can we help you with something?" Clemont asked as he wondered what the girl wanted.
"Number ninety-nine and soon one hundred! And that's gonna be you two!" The girl said as she pointed at Ash and Alex and was excited to tell them about what's happening.
"Number nintey-nine?" Ash said as he was confused with what this skater meant by ninety-nine.
"And one hundred?" Alex said as he pointed at himself, why was he the one hundredth?
"What are you talking about?" Ash asked, he was so confused on this girls question.
"I think we are confused." Pikachu said as he was puzzled.
"Is this a trick to something? I swear you-" Alex said as he was demanding an answer but the skater was super excited!
"Now, what do you think? I'm talking about you and I having a Pokemon battle!" The girl said as she was super pumped up and excited to declare a challenge to Ash and Alex!
"Oh, that's what you mean then." Alex said as he now understood what she wanted to do.
"So you're a trainer, too?" Clemont said as he was curious what she was doing.
"Yeah, that's right! Korrina's my name! My partner's over there!" Korrina said as she nodded, she introduced herself and pointed right through the group as her partner Pokémon.
"Huh?" The group said as they noticed a Pokémon heading to the group.
"Hey, is that..." Ash said as he knew the Pokémon looked familiar, so did Alex.
"A Lucario?" Alex said as the Lucario leaped up and over the group, landed beside Korrina with a small backpack on it.
"Hmph, Mmm.." Lucario grunted and looked at the group and stood beside Korrina.

EPISODE 33: Mega Revelations! (Ash)
EPISODE 33: Korrina and Lucario! The Bond Between Two! (Alex)
On the road to Shalour City in hopes of Ash & Alex's next Gym battle. Our heroes have an unexpected encounter with a Trainer named Korrina along with her partner, Lucario.
"Lucario, The Aura Pokémon. And the Evolved form of Riolu. Lucario reads the thoughts of others and anticipates their movements by senseing their auras." The Pokedex said as Serena had pulled out her Pokedex and scanned Lucario as it read it's data.
"Looks like a tough opponent!" Ash said as he was excited.
"So awesome!" Pikachu said as he was pumped up to battle.
"Wow, so cool!" Bonnie said as she seemed to happy.
"Hah! This is perfect! We're in top form today!" Korrina said as she was swinging her arm happily.
"The best!" Lucario said as he was proud.
"So, we're on? We're having a battle, right? Here and now?" Korrina said as she was eager for an answer.
"Right!" Ash said, he was on with a battle.
"Uh, im not sure if i'd go but sure." Alex said as he wasn't sure about having a battle right now.
"Man, I wanted to do some trainin' before I challenge the Shalour Gym anyway!" Ash said as he did realize he needed to get stronger.
"We wanna get stronger!" Pikachu said as they wanted to be ready.
"What do you know? The Shalour Gym!" Korrina said as she looked at her partner Pokemon.
"Yeah, are you heading there?" Alex asked curiously, which made Korrina look at the group.
"Are you Trainers, too?" Korrina asked as she spoke with the other members.
"Huh?" Serena, Clemont & Bonnie said, being confused if they were the ones she asked.
"Are you gonna challenge the Shalour Gym?" Korrina questioned once again to the group.
"Mm-mm. We're not challenging any gyms on this trip!" Serena said as she shook her head and told Korrina.
"But as far as being Trainers, you guessed right." Clemont said as he chimed in.
"Oh yeah, our introductions!" Alex said as he realized what their missing.
"Hi! I'm Serena." Serena said as she introduced herself.
"Hi, there! I'm Bonnie! This is Dedenne, and this is my brother!" Bonnie said as she did the big introduction with showing off Dedenne and Clemont, sharing her close ones to her.
"My name's Clemont. It's nice to meet you." Clemont said as he introduced himself.
"Hi there, Korrina!" Dedenne said, introducing himself.
"My name's Alex, glad to meet ya." Alex said as he introduced himself to Korrina.
"My name's Ash! Great to meet you! This is my partner, Pikachu!" Ash said as he was the last one to do the same thing.
"Hey!" Pikachu introduced himself.
"..." Soon, Ash and his friends alongside Korrina managed to get out of the forest and found an open field where they were gonna battle each other face to face as it seemed like a one on one battle to face each other. With it being Alex going to referee the battle as the two trainers were set to go.
"Heh, I'm ready!" Pikachu said as he was ready.
"Looks like we're set." Alex said as he then waved for the battle begin signal to go.
ASH VS KORRINA: ONE ON ONE
"Okay, Ash, let's go! Make the first move!" Korrina said as she offered ash to go.
"You got it! Let's do this, buddy! Quick attack!" Ash said as he was ready, and called the first move.
"Grrraghhh!" Pikachu cried out as he zoomed right towards Lucario.
"Lucario, stop them!" Korrina said as she knew that wasn't gonna be the case.
"Hmph! Rhuurg!" Lucario charged in and grunted as he managed to stop the Quick attack from dealing to much damage.
"Iron Tail, let's go!" Ash said, going for another move.
"Irrrooon Tail!" Pikachu said as he glowed his tail white and whipped right at Lucario.
"Quick, block it!" Korrina said, knowing that was a bad idea.
"Hmph! Yah!" Lucario grunted as he managed to block then deflect Iron tail.
"Huh?" Ash said as he was surprised to see Korrina deflect a move like that.
"It deflected it!" Bonnie said as she watched from the sidelines.
"I'm getting the feeling that Lucario is capable of much more. Beating it won't be easy." Clemont said as he knew this wasn't easy for Ash.
"Come on, Ash and Pikachu! You can do it!" Serena said as she cheered on.
"Let's keep up the pressure, Pikachu. We'll be fine!" Ash said, wanting to not give up.
"We never give up!" Pikachu said as he was determined to win.
"Now, use Iron tail!" Ash said, going for it again.
"Hurmph!" Pikachu jumped up and glowed his tail white towards Lucario.
"Dodge it, Lucario!" Korrina said, trying to get Lucario out of the way.
"Ragh!" Pikachu said as he whipped it multiple times at Lucario but he missed.
"Eruugh!" Lucario said as he dodged it out of the way.
"Now, Use Swords Dance!" Korrina said as she was ready for another idea.
"Mmmphhhh..." Lucario concentrated very hard as there were blue swords around him before they vanished and he was covered in a red-boostlike status.
"It raised its attack power!" Clemont realized as it was stronger now.
"Haha! Okay, Lucario! Bone Rush!" Korrina said as she went for a surprise move.
"Rraggh! Bone Rush!" Lucario said as he made a bone with it's two arms and zoomed.
"Huh!?" Pikachu said as he looked up to notice Lucario was in front of him.
"Fore!" Lucario cried out as he whacked Pikachu back like it was Golf.
"Uggh! Umph!" Pikachu cried out as he was knocked back. This surprised everyone.
"No way!" Ash said as this was going bad.
"Huh?" Serena said as she was puzzled.
"Pikachu! Oh, no!" Bonnie cried out as it looked bad for Pikachu.
"That looked like it hurt!" Dedenne said as Serena looked at Clemont with concern.
"Hey, Clemont? Bone Rush is a ground-type move, isn't it?" Serena asked as she was worried.
"Mhm. It's super effective against an electric-type like Pikachu. Not only that, its attack power got a boost from the swords dance. Pikachu's in big trouble." Clemont said as he realized what Korrina was doing and how strong it was.
"Alright! Now that's what I call a hit! Okay, let's keep up the pressure with another Bone Rush!" Korrina said as she was super pumped up and kept going at it.
"Euurrrgh!" Lucario said as he charged with another Bone rush.
"Pikachu, get up, now!" Ash said as he pleaded for Pikachu be up quickly.
"Aaahhh.." Pikachu groaned as he was kind of weak.
"Errruaaagh!" Lucario cried out as he whacked Pikachu up in the air.
"Ah..." Ash gasped as he realized that he stood no chance.
"Attack one more time!" Korrina said as she was ready.
"Uhhh..." Pikachu groaned as he got knocked around and then was floating weakly toward Lucario.
"Hmph. Power-up Punch!" Lucario said as he was ready for a new move he used on Pikachu.
"Ah.!" Ash gasped as he realized that was probably the final blow.
"Huh?" Clemont said as he was confused on that move.
"Awesome. There it is! The Power-Up Punch!" Korrina cried out happily as she was excited, Pikachu was knocked right to Ash on the ground.
"Urrk." Pikachu groaned out with swirls on his eyes as he was defeated.
"Pikachu has been defeated, the winner is Lucario!" Alex declared as it was over.
"Yeah! Yeah! We did it!" Korrina cried out excitingly as she won.
"Pikachu! Are you okay?" Ash asked as he held his buddy, Korrina, Lucario and Alex walked over to Ash.
"Well, alright, Ash, it looks like we won. Here's a Sitrus Berry. This will help." Korrina said as she won. She then gave Ash a Sitrus Berry for Pikachu.
"Uh... Thanks a lot..." Ash thanked as he looked down at Pikachu in hopes for some recovery.
"This'll make you feel better, Pikachu." Ash said as he gave Pikachu the berry slowly.
"Mmm..." Pikachu slowly nibbled on the berry and got health back.
"That Pikachu of yours is pretty strong. But you're not gonna be able to beat the Shalour Gym." Korrina said as she complimented on Ash's Pikachu.
"How can you be so sure?" Serena asked, she got a little giddy.
"You see..." Korrina said as she pondered about what they said.
"See...?" Alex repeated as Korrina and Lucario looked at each other with glee.
"I know the Shalour Gym Leader, 'cause it's me!" Korrina said as she revealed to everyone a surprise sentence.
"..." Everyone was silent, hearing what Korrina said. They didn't even say a word on what Korrina just said as she was confused.
"Uh... Hello?" Korrina said as she asked the group on their silence.
"HUH!?" The group shouted as they were surprised, scaring Korrina a bit by their reactions.
"What!? No way!" Ash said as he was stunned.
"That can't be!" Serena exclaimed as they couldn't believe it.
"Wow! No way!" Alex said as he was stunned.
"You're the Shalour City Gym Leader?!" Clemont said as he was shocked to see Korrina was the Gym leader.
"Wow. No wonder you're so strong." Bonnie said, being amazed on Korrina's skill.
"At least maybe we know you specialize in either fighting types." Alex said as he realized what Korrina's special type was for the gym.
"Now. That's Ninteny-Nine wins! One more trainer to go!" Korrina said as she knew that one more win would do it for one hundred.
"Heh, we got this." Lucario said as they looked at Alex for a moment.
"Wait. Come on, let's talk about it." Alex asked in hopes of talking it out.
"Sorry. You and me, We-" Korrina said as she pointed at Alex and was ready before her stomach growled for a moment, catching everyone off-guard.
"Uh..." Korrina muttered as she looked embarrassed now.
"Oh dear. But a lucky break." Alex said as he knew that was a close call.
"Nothing's more embarrassing than a growling stomach. But we really can't help it at all since Pokemon battles take a whole lot of energy!" Korrina said as she was wiggling around being embarrassed and tried to brush it off as an excuse she had.
"Y-Yeah! That's our reason!" Lucario said as he was embarrassed too, trying to brush it off.
"I know what you mean! I'm feeling kinda hungry, too!" Ash said as he felt embarrassed and was thinking the same thing that Korrina thought of.
"Me to..." Pikachu said as he felt a little hungry also.
"Well, I know what to do." Alex sighed as he was sure on what to do.
"Alright, so why don't we all have a little lunch?" Clemont said as he asked about having some lunch as a break.
"What do you think?" Alex asked as Korrina and Ash got excited hearing that.
"Yeah!" Ash said as he raised his hand for Clemont's cooking.
"Yes, please!" Korrina called out raising her hand at Clemont.
"Whoa! Easy you two!" Alex cried out as he felt like they were siblings of some sort.
"Huh? Hehe..." Ash and Korrina said as they looked at each other and chuckled.
"..." Soon thanks to Clemont and Alex's hard work, they had lots of good hard-enough meals that could help out fill an entire stomach for Ash and Korrina as both Clemont and Alex smiled, looked at each other and gave a fist bump.
"I can't believe Clemont and Alex made all these food!" Korrina said as she was amazed, taking a sandwich from the table.
"Mmmph!" Korrina muttered as she stuffed her mouth with a sandwich.
"Well? What do you think?" Alex asked as Korrina's eyes glistened happily.
"Delicious! Your cooking styles are number one!" Korrina said as she loved the Sandwich and meals from Alex and Clemont.
"I appreciate the compliment. Thank you." Clemont said as he was glad to hear.
"I am glad you love our cooking. That is wonderful to hear." Alex said as he was overjoyed that Korrina loved the cooking.
"How are the Poke Puffs? I used Pech Berries to make the topping." Serena asked as she looked over to see Pikachu, Dedenne and Lucario eat Poke Puffs.
"They're pretty amazing." Lucario said as he enjoyed them.
"It looks like lucario love them!" Korrina excitingly said as she was happy.
"Really? I'm so glad!" Serena said as Korrina went to fill her plate, Bonnie noticed a strange stone on Korrina's left handed glove.
"Hey, Korrina. What's that thing?" Bonnie asked, she was curious what that circle-like object was.
"Oh, it's a Key Stone." Korrina said as she showed Bonnie what it really was.
"A Key Stone?!" Ash said as he looked over, Alex did too!
"Wait! It is! A Key Stone! Like Diantha's!" Alex said as he realized that it was way to similar
"I thought so too Alex. It looks just like the one Diantha has!" Bonnie said as she looked at Alex. And then reminded about Diantha.
"Diantha? Wow! You met the Champion?!" Korrina said as she was amazed that they met Diantha.
"Mm-hm, yeah, we met her just the other day." Ash said as he explained to Korrina what they did.
"Lucky for Ash, he got to battle her." Alex said as he looked over at Ash who chuckled embarrassingly, Alex gave him a pouty face.
"Wow! You did?! That's awesome!" Korrina said as they had a reminder of a flashback to when Diantha activated her Key Stone and Mega Evolved her Gardevoir when it trapped in Team Rocket's Box but it transformed.
"We saw Diantha her Key Stone with Gardevoir for its Mega Evolution." Clemont said as they explained to Korrina that they witnessed Diantha and the Mega Evolution.
"Yeah, it was impressive." Alex said as he knew how good Diantha was making the transformation seem easy.
"Korrina, can your Lucario Mega Evolve, too?" Clemont said as he was curious.
"Nope!" Korrina said as she shook her head.
"Why not?" Alex asked, as Korrina looked at him.
"You see, Lucario doesn't have a Mega Stone yet." Korrina said, knowing Lucario didn't have the Mega Stone for it.
"Oh, no Mega Stone?" Serena said as she was surprised to hear.
"So, you just have the Key Stone right now?" Ash said as he wondered that Korrina had only one stone.
"Yup! My grandfather gave it to me." Korrina said as she knew it was a gift.
"Nice. He might learn more about Mega Evolution." Alex said as he wondered that maybe Korrina's grandfather can help learn them more.
"Oh, yeah, the first person ever to Mega Evolve a Lucario was one of my ancestors, isn't that wild?" Korrina said as she told the group about Mega evolving a Lucario.
"One of your ancestors?" Bonnie said as she was curious, ancestors from Korrina?
"Yup! It's part of the tradition of the Shalour City Gym to have a Gym Leader there with a Pokémon, that can Mega Evolve." Korrina said as she knew that the tradition about Mega Evolving with a Pokémon.
Flashback.
"Now. Listen well. In order for Lucario to Mega Evolve. You'll need a Key Stone as well as a Mega Stone." Korrina's Grandfather said as he told Korrina about what to do for them to reach the key achievement of Mega Evolution with a statue of Mega Lucario.
"Huh... So, I just need to go to Geosenge Town and get a Mega Stone!" Korrina mutted out as she knew what to do.
"Mega Evolution is an Evolution that transcends all other Evolution. It goes without saying that you need both a Mega Stone and a Key Stone. But what is more important is the bond of trust between you and your Pokémon." Korrina's Grandfather said as he told Korrina about how Mega Evolution needed to work for it to get it to fully achieve the power of Mega Evolution.
"Yup, yup, yup! We need a strong bond! I get it! I get it! Lucario and I will get strong together!" Korrina nodded happily as she knew, then she had a plan as they looked at each other.
"Okay, Grandpa, we're going!" Korrina said as they left off to their journey.
End of Flashback
"We decided we needed a hundred victories in a row before we went to Geosenge town. That's what Lucario and I have been doing!" Korrina
"Yes." Lucario said as he smiled.
"So, when you challenged me you were going for victory number ninety-nine?" Ash asked to the gym leader.
"But why?" Pikachu asked curiously.
"But having ninety-nine victories in a row? I know you're a Gym Leader and everything but that sounds a little hard to believe." Serena said as she wasn't sure about ninety-nine wins was hard to believe.
"Oh, i've got proof! See this?" Korrina said as she had evidence, and she pulled out a book.
"They're footprints!" Serena said as she realized what they were.
"Wow!" Bonnie said as she was amazed too see footprints.
"Footprints to show you've won?" Alex said as he wasn't sure how that was a victory.
"Wow! They're from Pokémon you battled against?" Bonnie said as it was other trainers they battled from before.
"Yup! I asked them to stamp their paws!" Korrina said as she told them.
"Let's see some." Alex said as Korrina opened the little book.
"Here's a print from a Pangoro whose trainer is named Kramer. And this one is from a Krookodile with a trainer named Seth, and... Ah..! AH!?" Korrina said as she showed a footprint from a Pangoro then flipped the page for another different paw that had Krookodile's. Then Korrina was wide-eyed and gasped.
"What?" Alex said as they looked at Korrina, she seemingly forgot something.
"What's the matter?" Bonnie said looking at Korrina.
"I forgot to ask Pikachu to stamp its paw!" Korrina cried out as she realized she forgot. She then grabbed a bottle of ketchup, approached Pikachu and put her book down, lightly grabbed Pikachu's hand and put Ketchup on it.
"Now, don't mind me. There." Korrina said as she lightly put Ketchup on Pikachu's hand and stamped it on her book. She was proud she didn't forget.
"Huh...?" The group were puzzled that Korrina's worry was only that.
"Huh? That's just Ketchup..." Serena said as she had a worry over nothing.
"Mhm-mhm-mhm! This is perfect!" Korrina nodded her head perfectly, at least she didn't forget.
"Lllmmmp. Yum!" Pikachu said as he licked his paw of ketchup and was happy, but far from them was Team Rocket, hiding in bushes. Spying on the group in hope to make a plan.
"So, that Lucario could Mega Evolve. Not to mention beating the thunderbolts out of Pikachu." James said as they eyed the Lucario, hoping to take it.
"Now, that's an off we can't refuse." Jessie said, using it would work.
"We may not have been able to catch Gardevoir but Lucario's a done deal! We'll cop the Key Stone and Pikachu. Ooh." James said as they failed to capture Gardevoir but Lucario can take that spot.
"We'll get that Mega Stone from Geosenge Town and then both Lucario and Pikachu will Mega Evolve right on the spot!" Meowth said as they hid in the bush now.
"And when the boss gets a load of the mound of Mega-Evolved Pokémon we've put together he'll flip the lid." Meowth said as they had a chance to get big.
"Then let's set the stealing stage." Jessie said as they set their plan in set.
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet said quietly from the bushes.
"..." Our trainers were packing up from their lunch and were continuing on to be ready for Geosenge Town. Korrina was pondering about one-hundred trainer to be a winner as she looked around.
"One more Trainer left. Who'll be my hundredth straight victory? Maybe Serena? Maybe Clemont? Or the promise to Alex?" Korrina said as she was pondering what to do for the next trainer to reach one hundred, eyeing Serena, then Clemont. Then maybe Alex. When a vehicle pulled behind Clemont.
"Attention, Miss." Jessie's voice said over the intercom.
"Huh?" Clemont said as he turned his head.
"Yes, you!" James said, calling to Korrina.
"Huh?" Korrina said as she looked puzzled.
"Is that Lucario your partner?" Jessie said over the intercom, the door opened, showing the rocket trio disguised as something else.
"Uh..." The group uttered out.
"Who's that?" Korrina asked, she was confused.
"Certainly nobody suspicious! We're the Mega Evolution Consulting Group." James said as they walked down the steps.
"Mega Evolution what?" Ash said, not sure what he heard.
"Our job is to give you a consultation concerning how strong your Pokémon will become and what kind of moves it'll use, once it Mega Evolves." Meowth said, trying to persuade them as curious.
"We're also aware that your Lucario wishes to Mega Evolve using the Mega Stone from Geosenge Town." Jessie said as they knew about Korrina's wish/
"Now, how do you know that?" Korrina asked, that was surprising to hear from her.
"See, when it comes to Mega Evolution we know everything there is to know from soup to dessert!" Meowth said as they pretended to know.
"Wow! That's cool!" Bonnie said as she was happy.
"Dessert?" Dedenne said he his eyes glistened on hearing.
"A thorough consultation is in order. I sense our encounter was meant to be." Jessie said as they had to ask for a favor.
"Wait. There's no need. We're already super strong anyway. And as soon as Lucario Mega Evolves we'll become stronger than we ever were before!" Korrina said as she knew this wasn't needed for her anyways.
"Indeed." Lucario said, declining the offer.
"It's a free consultation so there's no reason to decline." James said as they approached her and slowly guided her and Lucario to the truck.
"Now, step right this way!" Meowth said as he took Lucario without a problem.
"We'll need to take this as well." Jessie said as she slipped Korrina's Mega Glove out from her hand.
"That's mine!" Korrina said as she tried to take it back from Jessie.
"Fear not. It's safe with us." Jessie said as she tried to re-assure her.
"Huh..." Korrina groaned as she realized something.
"Hey!" Korrina called out as she realized this isn't right.
"Since, we're here, we'll look into Pikachu's Mega Evolution!" Meowth said as they sneakily approached Pikachu and Ash.
"Huh?" Ash said as he looked over.
"We'll tell you everything. Like, how strong Pikachu will become when you use the Mega Stone from Geosenge Town." James said as he made up a lie.
"Now." James said as he lightly took Pikachu.
"Huh?" Korrina said as she turned her head, noticing James had Pikachu.
"Hey, wait." Ash said, realizing he didn't want Pikachu far off.
"So, if Pikachu can Mega Evolve, too then I wanna find out if Dedenne can. Please tell me, please?" Bonnie said as she was curious to hear.
"Oh, what a shame. There's no way Dedenne could have a Mega Evolution." Jessie said, ignoring Bonnie's question.
"What? Why not?" Bonnie pouted, wanting an answer.
"There." James said, putting Pikachu in the truck.
"So I think it's time we begin." Jessie said as they were ready.
"Hold on a second!" Korrina called out to them, causing the disguised trio to look at her.
"Eh?" Jessie asked as she wondered what Korrina wanted.
"How do you know that there's a Mega Stone in Geosenge Town, anyway?" Korrina asked as she was wanting to know about the Mega Stone.
"Our job is to know all of that stuff!" Meowth said, they lied to them in hopes of getting an advantage.
"Along with a Key Stone it's needed to facilitate a Pokémon's Mega Evolution!" James said, as they needed a Key Stone.
"Everybody knows that. A Pokémon will Mega Evolve with the use of two stones." Jessie said, knowing they didn't fully understand Mega Evolution.
"You're wrong! There are different Mega Stones." Korrina exclaimed, knowing they were in the wrong.
"Different Mega Stones?" Alex said, not knowing what Korrina said.
"Each Pokémon requires its own specific Mega Stone to Mega Evolve! The Mega Stone in Geosenge Town is Lucarionite and only Lucario can Mega Evolve with it!" Korrina explained as she knew there was different types of Mega Stones out there to use
"Huh?" The Rocket Trio worriedly said.
"Wait, What?" The group said as they all listened to Korrina.
"Wait, something is off. Didn't we mention that Sycamore discussed the same thing?" Alex said, knowing Sycamore had said the same thing during their journey at the start.
"Professor Sycamore was talking about the same thing. He said Gardevoir's Mega Stone was Gardevoirite." Clemont said as he realized they remembered Sycamore had said Diantha had Gardevoir wear it's Gardevoirite and they needed that to Mega Evolve.
"Uh, now that I think of it, he did say that." James said as he realized it now. Jessie eyed him.
"So, what we're sayin' is, Pikachu won't be able to Mega Evolve, using Lucarionite." Meowth said as he realized the Lucarionite won't work on Pikachu.
"How could you forget something as important as that?" Jessie snapped madly. This made the group suspicious.
"Alright, what kind of Mega Evolution consulting group are you?" Serena asked.
"Who are you guys anyway?" Ash demanded to know, Team Rocket had to give in.
"The jigsup. It's showtime." James said as he pretended to have a watch as the doors closed.
"Wha..?" Lucario and Pikachu said as they were trapped in a box like the same Gardevoir was in.
"Open this thing up!" Korrina said as they knocked the door.
"Pikachu!" Ash said as they realized who it was once they saw the Balloon. Team Rocket did their motto.
"Team Rocket!" The group cried out as they realized.
"Team Rocket?" Korrina said as she was confused.
"They're really bad guys who are always trying to steal people's Pokémon!" Bonnie explained to Korrina.
"Criminals basically." Alex said to Korrina as she was shocked to hear.
"Tiny Twerp's right. We populate a terrifying and mysterious organization that performs unseemly acts of evil every day!" James said as they knew who they are.
"All I care about is getting Lucario back!" Korrina demanded to them.
"Blah, Blah, blah." James ignored her.
"We'll Mega Evolve both Lucario and Pikachu and create an invincible Mega-Evolved Pokémon posse the likes of which the world has never seen!" Meowth said as they want their own victory.
"That's right!" Wobbuffet said as Meowth held a small cube.
"Meanwhile, here's a parting gift!" Meowth said as the cube turned into smoke.
"Smoked them again!" Team Rocket said as they had them and floated far away, the smoke cleared.
"Oh, man." Ash said, they got away.
"Darn them!" Alex scowled angrily.
"Don't worry! We'll get Lucario and Pikachu back!" Korrina said as she knew where they are gonna do.
"But how do we find out where Team Rocket went?" Serena asked, Clemont chuckled.
"That's easy. I have the perfect device for this situation! Ha! The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, on-" Clemont said as he was ready for the new machine to pull out but Korrina had other ideas.
"I'll handle this!" Korrina said, as she ignored Clemont and ran off into a direction where they were going.
"Ah, Korrina!" Ash called following her.
"Wait for us!" Alex said as he went after them too.
"Korrina! Alex! Ash!" Serena said as she chased them also.
"Huh!?" Clemont said as he was digging through his bag.
"Come on, Clemont, hurry up!" Bonnie said calling out to Clemont.
"Huh, coming!" Clemont cried out as he hurriedly followed them.
With Team Rocket
"Our first stop is Geosenge Town to find the Lucarionite. Then we can locate the Pikachunite at a more leisurely pace!" Jessie said as they were in the balloon, having to go to Geosenge.
"But how do we know that Pikachunite really exists? We don't know for certain if Pikachu will even be able to Mega Evolve." James asked.
"Negative thinking prevents me from having a nice day! So, stop it!" Jessie snapped angrily at James.
"Wobbaa!" Wobbuffet cried out, meanwhile the cage was bouncing around from the balloon.
"Yipes! They're trying to fly the coop!" Meowth cried out as the Balloon was being rocked.
"You're wasting your move groove! That cage is attack-proof!" James said as they looked down.
"Dig it! The only thing you lugs are gonna get is tired!" Meowth said being annoyed.
With our group of heroes.
"..." They kept pursuing onwards to get their Pokémon back as Serena, Ash, Alex and Korrina stopped on top of the big cliff and looked out to see where to go.
"Pikachu! Lucario!" Ash called out from the top of the gorge as Korrina wondered.
"Maybe they didn't come this way." Serena said as she wondered they went the wrong way.
"Aaoooh... Do you always have to run so fast?" Clemont groaned as he and Bonnie caught up to the others.
"Well, maybe you run too slow." Bonnie said to her brother.
"Maybe we need help. Pidge-" Alex said as Korrina closed her eyes while Alex got ready to use his Pokémon.
"No... Yup, Lucario's here. They're not far away." Korrina said as she realized where Lucario is
"You can really sense where Lucario is? That's incredible!" Serena said as she was amazed.
"Uh-huh, I can." Korrina calmly nodded. Alex began to ponder.
"Hey, that's like when Diantha said. When she took them to Team Rocket." Alex said as it seemed like Deja Vu.
"Well, the two of us have been together forever since we were young." Korrina said as she knew they've been together for a while.
Flashback
"We played together. Laughed together. Ate together. Fought together. We grew up like siblings." Korrina said as she had memories of playing with Riolu when she was little and they shared things together that seemed like they were together like siblings. She even witnessed Riolu evolved.
"Lucario and I share an unbreakable bond! That's something that will never change." Korrina said as she knew that it was them together being strong together.
End of Flashback
"I just know. Lucario's waiting for me to rescue it!" Korrina said as she looked over in hopes of finding Lucario.
"Isn't that little more than a hunch though?" Serena said as she wondered, was Korrina being more real with her bond?
"Yup! But I just know!" Korrina said as she knew that wasn't a lie.
"Hey, Diantha said something like that as well." Clemont said as he pondered, Bonnie gave Clemont a pout face.
"That's what Alex just said!" Bonnie said as she have a pouty face to Clemont.
"Yeah, I know. But she and Gardevoir could sense each other." Clemont said to Bonnie but he added on with what Alex said.
"I believe you." Ash said as that got what Clemont and Korrina meant.
"Hmm?" Clemont said as he looked at ash.
"Huh?" Serena and Korrina said.
"Pikachu and I have traveled all this way together, too. We've trusted and helped each other and battled as a team! It's exactly the same for us as for you!" Ash said as he knew that they were together like friends.
"Hmm! Leave it to me!" Korrina said as she knew she would lead the way.
With Pikachu and Lucario
"Iron Tail!" Pikachu cried out as it bounced off the cage.
"Grrr!" Lucario growled as it kept bouncing off the cage with it's attack.
"Maybe you should start collecting stamps, or something." Jessie said as they seemingly taunted them from the balloon. Lucario had a thought.
"Hey. I got a plan." Lucario said to Pikachu, looking at him.
"You do?" Pikachu said. Lucario nodded.
"Hmphhh! Swords Dance!" Lucario said as it boosted it's attack power with Swords Dance.
"Electro Ball!" Pikachu said as it used Electro Ball, watching it bounce against the cage.
"I guess you'll just have to learn the hard way. Your Electro Ball is useless!" James said as he knew they were getting tired.
"Power-Up Punch!" Lucario cried out as it punched the Electro Ball upwards and right through the box and through the balloon.
"Combinin' moves should be against the law!" Meowth cried out as the balloon was out of control.
"Yeaargh!" Team Rocket cried out as they crashed into one of the mountain's walls, breaking the cage as Lucario grabbed Korrina's Mega Glove, which made Korrina gasp.
"Huh? This way!" Korrina said as she hurried more to where they were going. Pikachu and Lucario continued through the gorge and looked onward, lucario had the mega glove in it's mouth.
"Maybe up there?" Pikachu said as he looked up.
"Hmm? Hmph!" Lucario and Pikachu both sensed as they dodged a Shadow Ball and got out of the way, Team Rocket wasn't done.
"We wouldn't dream of letting you leave so soon." Jessie said as they weren't gonna give up.
"Electro Ball!" Pikachu said as it was ready for Electro Ball to attack.
"Okay, Inkay, Psybeam!" James called out for Inkay.
"Alright, Pumpkaboo! Use Dark Pulse!" Jessie said as she chimed in on the tag team.
"Psybeam!" Inkay said as it fired off Psybeam.
"Dark Pulse!" Pumpkaboo shouted as it used Dark Pulse.
"Rerrugh!" Pikachu cried out as he was double teamed on.
"Hmppph!" Lucario grunted as both Pokémon were down.
"Playtime's over! Now, come with us like good little Twerp Pokémon!" Meowth demanded, knowing they wouldn't give up now.
"Give up!" Wobbuffet called out as Team Rocket had it.
"Stop it, Team Rocket!" Ash's voice called out, getting the Pokémon's attention.
"Incoming Twerps!" Meowth cried out as they hurried to their Pokémon.
"Lucario, are you alright?" Korrina asked, wondering if Lucario was ok.
"You okay, Pikachu?" Ash asked to his buddy.
"Yeah." Pikachu said as he was alright.
"Here." Lucario said as he gave Korrina her Mega Glove back.
"Alright! You got the Key Stone back from them! You're the best, Lucario!" Korrina said as she was glad it was okay.
"Thank goodness, we found you!" Bonnie said as they were glad they were found.
"I say, payback time?" Alex said as they wanted to payback Team Rocket for what they did.
"I say we settle this with a Pokemon battle and may the worst twerp lose!" Meowth cried out as they wanted a fair battle.
"So, how about a three on tag battle for your one hundredth in a row?" Ash said as he looked at Korrina then Alex.
"Yeah! Let's do this, Ash!" Korrina said as she was ready for a team advantage.
"Huh, count me in. Flabébé!" Alex said as he had his Pokemon out to battle.
"Ready, Pikachu?" Ash said as he was ready to go.
"Yes!" Pikachu said in hopes of getting payback.
"Let's show them, Lucario!" Korrina said as Lucario got onto it's feet.
"Let's show them revenge." Lucario said as he was ready.
"Pumpkaboo, Shadow Ball!" Jessie snapped, in hopes of winning.
"Shadow Ball!" Pumpkaboo said as it fired off Shadow Ball.
"Inkay, Psybeam!" James said.
"Psybeam!" Inkay cried out as it fired Psybeam.
"Dodge, Flabébé! Then Fairy Wind!" Alex said as all Pokemon avoided, then Flabébé had it's turn.
"Whhoah! Fairy Wind!" Flabébé said as she avoided the attacks with the others. Then sent them back. They both fired attacks again.
"Lucario, use Bone Rush!" Korrina said, backing up Alex's Flabébé.
"Bone Russssh!" Lucario cried out as it spun it's bone and blocked both Psybeam and Shadow Ball for Flabébé.
"I didn't know you could do that with Bone Rush!" Serena said as she was impressed on Lucario's skill.
"We're not through! Inkay! I want you to use Tackle on Lucario!" James said as he wasn't done.
"Eruugh!" Inkay shouted as it charged at Lucario.
"Lucario, Power-Up Punch!" Korrina called out, her favorite move!
"Power-Up PUNNNNCH!" Lucario cried out it's punch stopped Inkay's tackle.
"Gorrrahh!" Inkay cried out as it was sent flying.
"Have some more! Bone Rush!" Lucario cried out as it jumped and used Bone Rush to whack inkay in the head.
"Lucario did it again." Clemont said as he saw Inkay was knocked down the ground with swirls on his eyes.
"Inkay, no!" James cried out as that was it for Inkay.
"Must i fix everything!? Shadow Ball!" Jessie annoyingly cried out as she went on the offense.
"Hmph, Another fairy wind can do!" Alex said as he summoned his move.
"Alright, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt! Support Flabébé!" Ash said he wanted to back up Alex.
"Faaairrry Wind!" Flabébé cried out, sending a pink fairy wind.
"Thunderbolllt!" Pikachu said firing off thunderbolt as both Fairy wind and Thunderbolt overpowered Shadow Ball and went toward Pumpkaboo.
"Yeaarrghhh!" Pumpkaboo cried out as it's combined attack from the two sent them in a big boom.
"We're blasting off again!" Team Rocket cried out as they vanished once again into the sky in a blink.
"Yeaah! We did it! That's a hundred wins in a row!" Korrina cried out as they won against team rocket.
"Uh-oh, I did it again! I forgot to get their footprints!" Korrina said as she realized she forgot about the proof..
"Sorry, That's not likely with Team Rocket." Alex said as it was sure it'll be ok.
"Aw, Guess it's too late now. No biggie, no biggie!" Korrina said as she agreed with Alex, it wasn't a problem.
"No problem." Lucario said as it wasn't bad.
A Little later
"We won a hundred battles in a row and we're definitely much stronger now. It's time to head to Geosenge Town." Korrina said as they had battled a lot and now they were close to getting there to Mega Evolution.
"We are gonna get my Mega Stone!" Lucario said as Alex made a move.
"Korrina... Um-" Alex asked as Korrina and Lucario looked at our heroes.
"Hey let me fill in, can we go to Geosenge Town with you? I really wanna see Lucario's Mega Evolution!" Ash said, stopping Alex's shyness and asking to join Korrina.
"Let's go!" Pikachu said as he was eager to go.
"I want to see that, too! What a rare opportunity!" Serena said as she wanted to see more on Mega Evolution.
"Me too! Me too! Me too!" Bonnie said happily.
"Me too, please!" Dedenne said, asking also.
"We can't pass up an opportunity to see the secrets behind Mega Evolution and the Mega Stone with our very own eyes!" Clemont said as he knew they cannot miss this!
"We got to see Gardevoir's Mega Evolution. Why not see more? Please?" Alex asked, they got to see one. They'd love to see more.
"Uh... Hmm, I'll show you Mega Lucario! You can come with us!" Korrina wondered as she thought and made her choice, allowing them to go with her.
"Alright!" Ash said as they were happy to travel with Korrina and Lucario.
"Hooray!" Bonnie cheered happily.
"That's great!" Alex said as he was glad they got to go with her.
"Now, that that's settled, let's go!" Korrina said as she hurried off to Geosenge Town without walking.
"Off she goes." Alex said as Ash followed her, then Alex went after them.
"Huh? Do we really have to run again?" Clemont groaned as they couldn't take it easy with walking,
"Come on, Clemont!" Serena said, chasing them then looking at the slow scientist.
"Hurry, hurry, big brother!" Bonnie said happily to Clemont.
"Don't miss out on this!" Alex said as he turned his head to look at Clemont.
"Ooohhh." Clemont groaned as they followed Korrina off the Geosenge Town.
Our heroes have unexpectedly run into Korrina, the Shalour Gym Leader and her partner, Lucario. Now, as the search for Lucarionite begins, everyone heads for Geosenge Town as the journey continues!
