It
was a small collection of shiny stones. To most people they wouldn’t be worth
very much. They looked more like big marbles than anything else. The only
reason she knew the group hadn’t been replaced by marbles was the slight glow
in each and every one of the balls.
They
had no real ‘official’ group name, each one was named for the Pokémon who could
use them. However, she called them Megacite. Each one of them interacted with
her bracelet, the Mega Ring she had acquired in the Master’s Tower.
She
had more Megacite than she had Pokémon who could use them. Even on her own
squad she only actually carried two Pokémon who could use their Megacite to
evolve to a higher level. A level beyond their normal form, unlocking their
hidden potential.
She
had been very careful with the extra evolution. There were people who had asked
odd questions about her strange, overpowered Pokémon. Accusations had flown
about genetically modified Pokémon and unfair tactics, along with a marked
interested from the bad guys every time she ended up using the stones in their presence.
If
she was honest with herself, however, she had been far too eager to play with
the new power when she had first received it. Almost every battle she had entered
for the first twenty four hours had involved a mega evolution of some kind of
another. Only of course, if she had sent her Lucario or her Charizard into
combat, but she had drawn far, far too much attention to herself in doing it.
Still
the time to really use the power was at hand. Lysander’s mass message to
everyone with a holocaster was a disturbing one. She had suspected him of being
in on Team Flare’s scheme for a while. Despite the fact the Professor had been
friends with him for a long time, Lysander had been spouting much the same spiel
as the grunts she had been smacking around for while.
What
was worse was that the Professor had been telling Lysander what she and her
friends had been up to. The five of them, collectively known as Sycamore’s
students, had been through an awful lot since they had left home and apparently
Lysander had been told about all of it.
He
had contacted her almost immediately after she had gotten her Mega Ring. Had
encouraged her to think about working to change the world, that letting things
stay the way they are was wrong. She should have reported him then. Before he
had reached the point where he could threaten the lives of everyone in the world.
He
was probably stronger than her. Though she had not had much trouble with that
even without using the Megacite, she was a brand new Trainer, only a few months
from leaving home. He was the leader of a Team of villains who wanted to
destroy the world. This wasn’t just one or two grunts, or a small group of villains
taking over a power plant.
This
was the world.
Still
she had her team, her whole team, not just Lucario and Charizard, but Delphfox,
Talonflame, Raichu and Pyroar too. Between the six of them, she had faith they
could stop whatever was planned. She had a horrible feeling it was going to
involve the legendary Pokémon, Yvetal and its power to suck away the lifeforce
of those around it upon awakening.
The
only really concern she had was if she ran into a water, ground or rock type.
Water types had a match in Raichu, but she didn’t have anything on her team to
tackle the other two types. Defeating the rock type Gym had taken a lot of
sheer dumb luck and a copious amount of ‘Dragon Rage’ on the part of her, at
the time, Charmeleon.
It
had worked before though and her team knew better moves now then they had then.
She had more experience too. She knew more tactics and had had more practise
herself. She would be able to back up her Pokémon as they fought together as a
group to prevent Lysander’s plans.
