Following the discovery of an ancient tablet describing the [[Giant Rock]], [[Alain]] and [[Mairin]] land in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] to learn more about [[Mega Evolution]].

Alain proceeds to challenge Steven to a Mega Evolution {{pkmn|battle}}.


Steven accepts, calling out his {{Shiny}} {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}. Alain summons his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} onto the field. The two Mega Evolve their Pokémon, becoming Mega Metagross and Mega Charizard X respectively. Mega Charizard unleashes a powerful {{m|Flamethrower}} attack, though Steven has Metagross use {{m|Psychic}} to send the attack towards the sky. Steven calls for a {{m|Flash Cannon}}, which scores a direct hit and lowers Charizard’s endurance stat. Charizard returns the favor with a {{m|Dragon Claw}}, only to be struck by a {{m|Meteor Mash}} in return. Charizard, however, emerged unscathed and launches a {{m|Blast Burn}} at its opponent. Mega Metagross remains standing in spite of the direct hit, to which Steven remarks that no one should underestimate him. Alain calls for another Dragon Claw while Metagross prepares another Meteor Mash. As the two are about to finish each other off, a {{TP|Lysandre|Pyroar}} unleashes a Flamethrower and interrupts the two.
