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

Chapter 33

While we're training, we also evolve our Espurr into Meowstic. Male Meowstic looks different than female Meowstic. Bonnie says, "Wow... we did see Calem's Meowstic before, but I never knew that female Meowstic looks different from the male one."

"Meowstic is one of the Pokemon who is able to learn different moves depending on the gender." Serena says. "The defensive instinct of the males is strong. It's when they're protecting themselves or their partners that they unleash their full power."

"And the females are a bit more selfish and aggressive than males. If they don't get what they want, they will torment you with their psychic abilities." I say.

"I'm not that selfish..." The female Meowstic is not happy with the Pokedex description, and we all chuckle.

Meowstic: The Constraint Pokemon: Psychic Type. The eyeball patterns on the interior of its ears emit psychic energy. It keeps the patterns tightly covered because that power is too immense.

When we continue moving, we decide to have lunch, and Clemont seems to be in deep thought that the food is burning. Serena says, "That's not like you at all. Are you alright?"

"I got lost in my thoughts." Clemont frowns.

And that's when we find a Power Plant in front of us. Clemont says, "That's the Kalos Power Plant."

"My big brother designed that place." Bonnie says.

"Not exactly. I just helped with the programming." Clemont says.

"I think that's so cool." Elline says.

"The Kalos Power Plant collects the sun's energy directly from space, then transmits it down to our planet's surface as microwaves. It is stored in a superconductor energy storage ring and then distributed to Lumiose City."

Elline says, "That reminds me. Didn't Sina and Dexio say something about the power outrage in Lumiose City?"

David says, "You're right... maybe there's something going on in the Power Plant... how about we go check out the place up close?"

While they're saying that, I notice a card on the ground, it seems to be the Power Plant Pass. I say nothing while picking it up.

That's when we find a scientist, who says "Those Team Flare people in those red suits... Nobody who's worth anything hangs out with a group wearing garish outfits like that."

We realize that Team Flare is in the Power Plant and we decide to go there, and we come across a grunt, "I'm a member of the stylish Team Flare, and I'm gonna win in style!"

He tries to use Houndoom and Golbat to stop us, but we defeat them with the help of our Meowstics. "And now, I'll stylishly run away!"

As he tries to run and check his pocket, and he gasps, "Where's my Power Plant Pass?! Oh no! D-did I drop my Power Plant Pass somewhere? I know what to do! I'll make a stylish deduction! I must've dropped it when I was feeling around that boulder nine steps east of where I'm standing. If I only had a Drowsing Machine, then I could find it with style."

After he leaves, I say, "So this Power Plant Pass must be the one that he dropped. Good thing I picked it up."

Serena says, "That's great awesome, Ash."

We use the pass and enter the place, and we are immediately ambushed by Team Flare Grunts. "Seriously, though. Who are you? Only authorized personnel are allowed in here!"

Then he tries to defeat us with Scarggy and Croagunk, but we defeat both Fighting types with Hawlucha. "Who do you think you are? Team Flare is busy... redirecting... the power that's supposed to go to Lumiose City, see? Don't get in our way!"
