Main series

Alain once owned a Charizardite X that he obtained from Lysandre along with his Mega Ring, giving it to his Charizard to wear around its neck. After realizing Lysandre's true intentions and the error of his own ways, Alain disposed of the Charizardite X sometime before Till We Compete Again!, promising to start from a clean slate.

In Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!, Alain was revealed to have acquired a new Charizardite X.

Pokémon Origins

In File 2: Cubone, Mr. Fuji gave Red a Mega Stone and a Key Stone, although he did not tell Red what they truly were, merely saying that he would find out soon enough. In File 4: Charizard, during Red's battle against Mewtwo, one of the stones was revealed to be a Charizardite X from Kalos. Together, it and the Key Stone allowed Red's Charizard to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X and weaken Mewtwo to a point where it could be caught.
