1. Ash's Story (Part 7: Kalos)

Chapter 4

When we arrive at Santalune Forest, it reminds me and Serena of the Viridian Forest. We find Shauna there and she wants to walk together out of the forest because she thinks that something's going to happen if she comes with us.

Clemont asks, "So Ash, I notice that you and Serena are actually sharing Pokemon, may I ask why?"

I say, "That's a good question, you see. One of our goals is to fill in the Pokedex by capturing all the Pokemon. But since there are too many species, we won't be able to take care of every single one of them. That's why we decide to share our Pokemon, some of the other Pokemon are with Lillie and Alice, two of them are probably somewhere doing their own journey."

David says, "As for where they're staying, let's say that the Ketchum family have a bunch of houses. They can place one type of Pokemon in one houses."

"That means there are more than 18 houses for Ash and his family." Elline says, "But considering how many people your parents have adopted..."

"Yeah, other than 8 blood-related siblings, there are 4 adopted siblings." I sigh.

"Wow... that's so many siblings you have there!" Bonnie says.

Then we hear some battling and we find Calem battling Helen, with Tierno and Trevor watching. Calem loses the battle and he says, "You really are strong, Helen. I have no chance of defeating you."

"Don't worry, you just start your journey. Just relax." Helen says back.

"Helen!" Serena calls out, and she also notices us and greets us. "Serena! Ash! David! Elline! What a surprise."

"Nice to see you again, Helen." I say. "So what are you doing here? I thought you were training with your Dad in the Galar Region."

"Come on, you have to know that Kalos has the best gourmet compared to other regions." Helen says. "I'm also using this traveling to search for my own dish."

"That's cool." David says. Trevor says, "So how have you guys been? Capturing any new Pokemon?"

"Yeah, we got some new Pokemon." Serena says.

"Well, since it is almost noon, what do we say we have a great feast? I'm sure you can help you out, Ash?"

"Sure." I say. "That reminds me, Clemont can also help with the cooking as well."

"You're flattered, Ash." Clemont says as we start cooking. And when we have our meal, our Pinsir and Heracross notice something strange. "Pinsir, Heracross? What's wrong?"

As we chase after the two Pokemon, we find that there are two Mega Stones in the tree holes. "Two Mega Stones?" I gasp.

"If they're corresponding to Pinsir and Heracross, that means those might be Pinsirite and Heracrossite." Calem says.

"Maybe we can try them out after lunch." Serena says as we agree.

After the lunch is over, we try to test out our Mega Evolutions. Serena's Key Stone is on her wrist, while mine is on my glove. We both Mega Evolve our Pinsir and Heracross, and everyone is watching in awe.

"Wow... Pinsir is now flying!" Bonnie says as she watches how Pinsir flies around in the air.

"Mega Pinsir does gain the Flying Type, but Pinsir doesn't really have any Flying moves." Elline says.

"Actually it does, use Double Hit!" I say, and Pinsir strikes Heracross, causing a lot of damage to him. "Double Hit is normally a Normal Type move, but with the ability Aerilate, it changes into a Flying move."

"The only two Pokemon that can use this Ability are Mega Salamence and Mega Pinsir." Clemont says.

"That's cool..." Trevor says. "What about Mega Heracross? It sure looks bulkier."
