As we head to the gate to Route 14, we get a Holo Caster call from Trevor this time. "Hello. How have you been? I just wanted to let you know we're all going to meet on Route 14. Please come and join us."

So Calem and the others are now at Route 14, so we decide to find them. And that's when we find Trevor and Calem near the park.

"Hello, guys! You arrived very quickly!" Trevor says.

"Hey, Serena. Nice haircut you get there." Calem says.

"Thanks." Serena says. "So what are you guys doing?"

"We were just comparing how complete our Pokédexes are. I won, of course!" Trevor says.

"I'll leave filling up the Pokédex to you guys, Trevor. It's boring when everyone does the same thing anyway..." Calem says.

"Let's compare how many Pokémon we've seen, just like we always do! This time let's compare how many Pokémon we've seen in the Mountain Kalos Pokédex! To put it another way, I'm challenging you to my own kind of Pokémon battle."

After checking it out, Trevor sighs, "I lost! How frustrating! Oh! So you've seen Gible, too? Just knowing about the same Pokémon as someone else can sure make you happy!"

"There sure are lots of different kinds of Pokémon in Kalos. Guess it's my turn now! Ash, I challenge you to a battle!" Calem says.

His team is basically the same, only that his Quilladin evolves into a Chesnaught. And fortunately for us, our Chesnaught also evolves when battling against Calem's Mega Absol.

Chesnaught: The Spiny Armor Pokemon: Grass and Fighting Type. Evolve from Quilladin at LV:36. Its Tackle is forceful enough to flip a 50-ton tank. It shields its allies from danger with its own body.

The new move Spiky Shield really helps a lot and Absol is eventually defeated. Calem says, "Battling with you is fun, but losing all the time doesn't really make me look all that good."

Shauna arrives and she says, "Wow! That was a really intense battle! "

"Thanks, Shauna. I noticed you were watching us while I was battling." Calem says.

"So where's Tierny?" Shauna asks.

"He's at the Fighting dojo." Trevor says.

"Really? The Fighting dojo?" Shauna rolls her eyes.

"Sorry, I'm late, everybody! I was having so much fun with a sparring dance that I totally lost track of time!" Tierno says while he rushes up to us. Elline says, "So, Tierno, have you found any good Pokémon for your dance team?"

"Yep! I sure did! I'm super close to my ideal dance team!" Tierno says.

Shuna is now delighted, "That's great! Good for you! Hey, everybody! Let's go to the scary house!"

"The one by Laverre City? That's just a rumor, isn't it?" Clemont asks as he's obviously scared.

"C'mon! Let's all go find out if the rumor's true together!" Shauna says.

"It's just a rumor, right? I'll pass. I'd rather spend some quality time with my Pokémon before heading to Laverre City." Calem says as he leaves. Tierno says, "Oh! Uh, OK, bye!"

I ask, "So is that really scary?"

"Let's go and see for ourselves, Tierno." Trevor says. "There's always some reason rumors like that get started."

After the two leave, Shauna frowns, "Sigh... Why are you traveling, guys? Everyone is working really hard at what they want to do. But I'm just all about memories! I'm kinda just goofing around! Just kidding! "
