A Day with Steven

Scottie was on a stroll one day...

when [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] spotted Steven amongst the hustle and bustle of the town square.

Hmm... Maybe I should just go out and search for meteorites instead...

Oh, hi, Scottie! How's it going?

Oh, hi, Scottie! I didn't think I'd run into you today.

I was just doing a bit of thinking.

Did you know that Rayquaza can Mega Evolve without using a Mega Stone? It's part of what drew me to forming a sync pair with mine.

But I've still barely scratched the surface when it comes to learning about its Mega Evolution.

Hmm... There is one person I know who's studied Mega Evolution.

Yes, I am in a bit of a pickle. If only I could find someone well-versed in the subject.

Morning, you two! Do you need help with anything? You look a little troubled.

Professor Sycamore!

Scottie and I were just talking about Rayquaza's Mega Evolution.

You wouldn't happen to know why it's able to Mega Evolve without the power of a Mega Stone, would you?

Ahh... Curious about Rayquaza, are you?

Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two special stones by a Trainer and Pokémon who share a strong bond.

But it would seem that Rayquaza, a super-ancient Pokémon, requires a different sort of power to accomplish this.

That's what I was thinking.

We do have evidence that Rayquaza have eaten meteorites in the Hoenn region.

What do you think that could mean?

Precisely. I believe that's the correct conclusion as well.

*chuckle* I'm not sure about that. But I do think it may be able to use meteorites as some kind of energy source.

Ah, sorry, Rayquaza. You must be getting bored of all this science talk.

There's still so much I don't understand about you...

but as for what you're feeling right now, I think I may have a hunch.

"Enough talk. Let's have a battle already." ...Am I right?

Hey, you don't have time for a quick battle with us, do you?

Theorizing is great, but battling is still the best way I know to understand a Pokémon better!

I had a feeling you'd be on board!

Of course!

I don't know how much longer Rayquaza can contain itself with such formidable opponents right in front of it.

If it's a battle you're after, I'm more than happy to participate. Give us everything you've got!

I appreciate it!

In that case... Scottie! It's time to battle!

Let's make it crystal clear which one of us is the strongest!
