Shining on a Separate Path

Which path should you take? I see your doubts and worries.

Give me your hand, please, for you to know your own fate.

I heard your fortune-telling involves putting one's hand through that bracelet.

Are you going to read my fortune?

Yes, if you so wish.

Yay! That'd be helpful!

I can't believe someone who uses Psychic types like Sabrina is helping me out!

O-OK... I'm ready!

I see your future...

A strong shining light, once separated, shall be your guide to follow.

A strong shining light? What could that be?

Whoa! Another Lucario?!

Wait. You must be...

Wait for us, Lucario!

I knew it!

It's the Lucario I entrusted to Serena!

So, you want to learn more about Mega Evolution?

Yes.

Diantha told me something after seeing my Arceus Cup battle against Korrina.

She said what decided the battle was our experience using Mega Evolution.

I see. So Diantha recommended you see me.

Yes...

I don't want my lack of knowledge to disappoint Alakazam any more than I already have.

Could you...help me?

Of course!

Besides, I'm sure learning more about Mega Evolution will help you awaken your arc suit!

Oh?

The key to Mega Evolution is a strong bond between Trainer and Pokémon!

If you deepen your understanding of Mega Evolution, maybe you'll demonstrate the bond Arceus is looking for!

I see...

Thank you, Professor Sycamore.

I'll master Mega Evolution. And next time, I'll finally...

Sabrina.

As someone who studies Mega Evolution, I must warn you.

While Mega Evolution is powerful...

there are times it can be a heavy burden for Pokémon.

What?!

You shouldn't focus solely on winning or getting stronger.

That's the lesson it teaches us.

Um... What about Alakazam?

As of yet, there have been no cases of them in pain.

But apparently, Mega-Evolved Alakazam trade even the smallest amount of muscle for psychic energy.

As a result, their precognition grows even stronger.

Precognition?

(Diantha said our gap in experience decided the battle.)

(I think I know what I need.)
