Gabriel West, born on February 14th, in the year 2000, was just like any other senior in high school. Living in New York, Gabriel had a pretty good life. Albeit he was labeled the nerdiest student in the school due to his love of Pokémon and other a...
After tying down their boat on the docks of Iron Island, Jupiter and Mars, along with a small company of Grunts, were well into the old abandoned mining site. The crew was now hard at work, carrying out the orders of their superiors.
"So I take it you saw the data huh?" Mars began as she observed the team as they worked.
"Indeed I have. It's astounding what these Mega Stones can do. One could argue that it gives a power boost almost equal to that of a Legendary," Jupiter replied.
"I'm curious to know if any of my partners have that capability. If not, acquiring a Pokémon with that kind of power is most certainly a must," Mars smirked.
"It will take more than simply obtaining a Pokémon that is able to perform that feat. According to the data, something called a Keystone is needed. More importantly, a bond must exist between the partners," Jupiter added.
"That could take a while," Mars frowned. "In any case, shall we lend the others a hand?"
Jupiter nodded in reply before picking up one of the pick axes and getting to work. Mars followed suit, eager to find a stone for herself.

"Iron Tail!" Came Gabe's commanding shout as he engaged in a battle with one of the workers in the mine.
The worker he was battling was using a Machop that had thus far, been able to keep pace with Shinx.
"Karate Chop!" The worker countered.
Machop tensed the muscle in his right arm and focused the energy from his body into his forearm, causing a white aura to emanate from his arm as he swung upward to meet the ironclad tail of his foe.
The clash resulted in a shockwave and a slight indentation in the ground from the force of the impact. Springing back, Shinx landed on all fours and narrowed her eyes at her foe. Sparks of azure lightning crackled around her and her fur began to glow a bright blue hue.
"Close Combat!" The worker exclaimed.
"Shockwave!" Gabe countered.
Machop clenched his fists and leaned forward, putting weight on his back leg before exploding forward. Shinx braced herself and gathered electrical energy into her body before releasing it right as Machop was within range, resulting in a thunderous explosion. When the dust cleared, Machop was flat on his stomach with his hand extended outward, just a few feet away from Shinx. Gabe breathed a sigh of relief as Machop was recalled.
"Well shoot! That was a close match there kid," said the miner with a grin.
"You can say that again," Gabe chuckled nervously. "Your Machop was amazing."
"He's tough alright," the miner said proudly. "So, what brings you down here?" He asked curiously.
Gabe knelt down and allowed Shinx to hop onto his shoulder.
