Ash and Co. were all relaxing outside with their pokemon not really doing anything in particular. Ash was helping Max train with his pokemon: Marshtomp and Kirlia, and everyone else wass doing their own thing.

"So I'm correct in assuming that Marshtomp is the pokemon Professor Birch gave you at the start of your journy, and this little fella is that Ralts that you became friends with?" Asks Ash looking at Max's two Pokémon.

"Yup these two have become very close friends of mine." Says Max happily.

Ash looks at Kirlia.

"So are you going to evolve your Kirlia into a Gardevoir or a Gallade?" Asks Ash.

"Gallade?" Asks Max confused.

Ash stares at him for a moment confused then remembers that Gallades are only really native to Sinnoh and Max is from Hoenn.

"Right you're from Hoenn so you've probably never seen a Gallade." Says Ash.

He pulls out his pokedex.

"Here I've got an entry on Gallade, let me show you." Says Ash.

The Pokedex opens showing a picture of Gallade and a robotic voice reads out:

"Gallade: The Blade Pokemon and and evolved form of Kirlia: A master of courtesy and swordsmanship, it fights using extending swords on its elbows."

Then Ash puts his pokedex away.

"Cool!" Says Max looking at his Kirlia, then he crouches down so that he is eye level with his pokemon.

"So do you want to become a Gardevoir or a Gallade?" Asks Max looking at the little psychis and fairy type. Kirlia thinks for a moment before responding.

"I want to become a Gallade Max." Says his pokemon happily.

"It's settled then." Says Max looking back at Ash.

"So how does Kirlia become a Gallade?" Asks Max hoping it will be something really simple.

"You just need to give your Kirlia a dawn stone and then it'll evolve." Replies Ash and Max starts to look sad.

"Aww but where am I going to get a dawn stone?" Asks Max.

"Someone talking about me?" Says a certain blue haired coordinator and they both turn to see Dawn standing behind them.

Ash chuckles.

"Nah, he was talking about wanting a dawn stone so that Max here could evolve his Kirlia into a Gallade." The Kanto native says to the Sinnoh native.

"Well I just so happen to have a dawn stone." Says Dawn proudly.

Max's eyes widen.

"Can I have it?" He asks.

Dawn smiles.

"Sure Max, just let me go grab it." Replies the blue-haired coordinator.

She runs off to grab her bag and comes back with a bright blueish-green stone in her hand. She gives it to Max.

"Kirlia I've got the stone!" Says Max happily running to his Pokémon, but as he's running his foot catches on a rock and he trips sending the stone flying through the air.
