One day later.

Steven enters Alex's room with three Keystones in his hand and a slight smile on his face.

Alex looked at these three stones and felt that these stones were 99% key stones. They just looked too similar to the stones from the game and his mega stones.

Steven gave the three stones to Alex as he said, "I managed to buy these 3 stones for 5 million poke dollars. It's not a fair price but what can I do if he doesn't want to sell these stones in the first place? ...Only with such a high price could I buy it."

Alex revealed a smile as he said, "It doesn't matter. Those 3 stones are probably worth a lot more."

Steven showed a sharp expression on his face. "Hmm, did you figure out what those stones do?"

Alex lied with a serious expression, "No."

"Wouldn't you rather give those stones to a professor? I'm sure it'll be easier to find out that way what these stones do."

"But it is also riskier. I won't give or show these stones to anyone as long as I still have the chance to find out for myself. If this professor passes on the information, the losses aren't worth the gain."

Steven said with a thoughtful expression, "Hmm, you want to collect as many of these stones as possible first, right?"

Alex nodded with a serious expression.

Steven said, "Ahh also... The owner of those three stones also told me where to find more of those stones."

Alex said with a doubtful expression, "Why would he give you that information?"

Steven said with a smile, "That's factored into the 5 million price tag. Also, these stones are not in a non-hazardous area so these stones are not easy to come by without a strong trainer."

Alex asked "where" and Steven said "Meteor Falls".

Meteor Falls is a location in Hoenn. It is a large cave west of Fallarbor Town with a waterfall inside. In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Meteor Falls is one of the ancestral homes of the Draconid people.

Alex said with a serious expression, "Isn't that where Meteor Village is?"

The Meteor Village is a village located within Meteor Falls and home to the Draconid people.

Draconid people in this world are not to be underestimated and are extremely strong. Although the number of Draconid people is very small, the strength of each Draconid trainer is quite powerful.

Although he knew a bit about the Draconid people from the games, he didn't know how much applied to the games in this world.

Steven nodded as he said, "Yes, he also told me these stones can only be found deep within the Meteor Falls Cave." freeweb(n)ovel.co(m)

Alex remembered [Meteor Falls] from the Pokemon games.

Unfortunately, it didn't help Alex much. The size of this cave is many times larger than in the games and also, many times more dangerous. Especially if you go deep into this cave you will find a lot of powerful Pokemon.

Alex looked at Steven, "I'll go to Meteor Falls later today and see if I can find anything interesting."

Steven looked at Alex as he replied, "Good luck. Be careful and don't risk your life for a few stones."

Alex said with a smile, "Says the Stone Collector."

Steven talks to Alex for a few more minutes before he leaves Alex's room.

Alex knew that going deep into the Meteor Falls cave isn't completely safe, but he felt it wasn't extremely difficult and he was strong enough to handle almost any crisis.

In an emergency, he could even run to the Meteor Village. Though he wasn't sure how those locals would treat him if he did that and lured a strong Pokemon there.

That's why it's only an emergency option.

Alex stored his food, water, and camping gear in his TRH device. He then teleports to Fallarbor Town with Gardevoir's help.

Gardevoir has been to this town several times when Alex bought and sold Pokemon in the Blackmarket.

He then took 12 different-sized "necklaces" out of his TRH device.

These 12 "necklaces" were specially made to fit his 11 Pokemon and could easily hold a [Hold-item]. There was also a necklace for Alex so that he could use his key stone at any time.

He named these "necklaces" so because they look like bizarre necklaces and are attached to the Pokemon's neck.

Ditto's necklace was a bit difficult to make because Ditto often changes his height. But after Alex found a necklace that could stretch many times over, Ditto found a matching necklace.

Alex entered a small forest near Fallarbor Town and he said, "Crobat, Gardevoir let me know if there's a Pokemon or person around that can see what's happening here."

Of course, he didn't want to run tests with the Mega stones when there was a person or Pokemon nearby.

Alex had 4 Pokemon that he knew could Mega Evolution. Scizor, Gardevoir, Blaziken, and Banette He might be able to do a Mega Evolution on his other Pokemon too, but he only knew of these 4 Pokemon that it was 100% possible.

He started with Crobat by giving one of his 3 Mega Stones to Crobat.

After doing that, he wondered if he needed to do anything else.

He thought with a thoughtful expression, 'what now? F*ck, I have no idea how mega evolution works and how to do it... I hope I don't have to do something stupid like yell "Mega evolve" or I'll die in embarrassment. wait...'

He suppressed his embarrassment and shouted "Mega evolve" while touching his key stone.

Nothing happened.

...

Crobat eyed Alex as if he didn't comprehend what just happened. Then he showed, To Alex, an expression that looked like he was looking at a stupid kid doing something stupid.

Alex wished at times like this that he couldn't read the emotion on Crobat's face so well.

Even the other Pokemon looked at Alex with slightly confused expressions and some even turned away their eyes from Alex.

Only Banette and Deino showed that they found Alex's action cool.

When Alex saw that even Blaziken think it was embarrassing, he feel two new different emotions.

He was glad that Blaziken was so big now that she didn't think it was cool anymore, but he was also extremely sad that she probably saw him as an embarrassing father.

Alex's face blushed a little as he thought, 'Ahhh, I want to die... At least Banette and Deino don't find it embarrassing. I hope that only these words are really necessary to perform a Mega Evolution...'

He switched a Megastone from Crobat's necklace and repeated the same action again.
