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 The only reason she knew the group hadn’t been replaced by marbles was the slight glow in each and every one of the balls.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.
