Mega Island

Ash was flying through the air on top of Charizard as they flew together, it's been a few hours almost a day in fact. Charizard was already on +6 speed, so they were zooming yet still weren't at their destination.

Pikachu and Clefairy chose to stay with his mom and probably be annoyed by everyone else since it was cold and it would be better not to have the two goobers, he also didn't have Abra but that was for a different reason and she could just find him.

Now the question is, How does Ash know where Mega Island is? After all, according to the anime, Mega Island is located off the coast of Shalour City in Kalos.

Well, back when he secretly put a bit of Porygon2 in Lance's computer and Professor Mirror's lab he took some time to look through everything.

With Lance he looked into the Kalos League data and with Mirror he looked into research about places with Mega stones, from them he found a general location but not everything.

According to the reports and stuff not much is known about the Island, not even Sycamore has made too much of an effort to look around, all available information is from Gurkinn.

When Ash eventually got to Kalos and more specifically Shalour City in the Tower of Mastery he flew above the clouds so he wouldn't be seen, since due to the different time zones it was about Mid-day here, and back home it was night more or less.

Ash took out the Keystone and held it in his hand and imbued it with Aura and connected it to Charizard, he knew it was somewhere southeast but he didn't have exact coordinates so this would help.

As Charizard felt the energy from the keystone he closed his eyes and started focusing to feel a pull, using keystones and Aura a Pokemon could sense where a stone was from the energy, in the Anime Ash's Lucario used his own, now Ash is compensating with his.

It took a bit of effort but eventually, Charizard opened his eyes and nodded towards Ash and started flying through the air.

It took about an hour but eventually, they saw the island in the distance, Ash smiled seeing the large island, this worked for 2 things.

Firstly he could get Mega stones, as many as he wanted for future use in fact, and 2 all Pokemon on this island travel here to collect those stones so there should be at least a few powerful Pokemon for training.

Immediately as Charizard landed they almost got met with a random [Power Gem] but Charizard managed to dodge before he got hit.

When they looked over they saw a Sableye looking scared and quickly running away to hide, Charizard looked unamused so he launched a [Flamethrower] that caught the fleeing ghost type and burnt it.

Ash slapped Charizard on the stomach, "Easy there bud, don't waste your energy on weaklings, after all, you saw it too,"

Charizard looked down and gave a toothy grin, as they flew onto the island Charizard saw a Salamence, something that he found as a much better challenge.

Ash smiled back, "Alright then go wild, and be sure to bring me the Mega stone when you're done, alright."

Charizard flew up leaving Ash alone as he went to beat up Salamence and anything else he could find.

Ash stood there and stretched his arms before looking around, the first thing he noticed was this island was much warmer, for one thing, there was a volcano and for another, they were in a different region, and way back in Kanto, it was almost Winter.

So Ash smiled and pulled out a few Pokeballs releasing, Fearow, Pidgeot, Poliwrath, Beedrill, Scizor, Machamp, and Nidoking along with Gastly who was still in his shadow. They would go out and search for Mega stones and also beat up any Pokemon they find on the island.

Needless to say, they were all more than happy to do it, especially with this warmer weather, so without much more they all scattered and began scurrying the island to loot everything.

{Hours later}

Off the coast of Mega Island, a boat was approaching, on top of the boat, 2 people were standing as they looked forward.

"Alright thanks a bunch, Grandfather," the first person said, a young girl with sunglasses and a skating uniform said, next to her a Lucario stood next to her.

The second and old man with extremely long eyelashes looked at the young girl, "Very well Korrina, we are here, this is as far as I go, I wish you good luck. And Keep her safe Lucario."

Korrina smiled and Lucario bowed respectfully, "Don't worry I got this!"

The old man who was actually Master Gurkinn nodded as he took the boat back away from the Island seeing his granddaughter wave him by.

He took the Boat a good few miles away from the island and released his partner Alakazam. But as he got ready to perform his super secret surprise, Alakazam looked towards the island, Gurkinn looked confused and looked at the Island as well.

"Is something wrong?" he asked.

Alakazam looked at him and sent a message to him, "[I fear that there is someone or something else on the Island,]"

Gurkinn looked at his partner, "What do you mean, can you tell what it is or if they will be a threat?"

Alakazam shook its head, "[Forgive me, but I can not, it seems like this being is immune to my abilities, how would you like to proceed?]"

Gurkinn rubbed his non-existent beard, "Well keep an eye out, see if they pose a danger to Korrina, until then let's continue as planned."

Alakazam nodded as they teleported leaving behind the Ship.

Back on the island, Ash noticed the People coming, but he remained hidden as he used Aura to find out more about them, 2 People but only 1 came onto the island, and 1 Aura he recognized as a Lucario.

He got an idea of who this could be but until he was sure he would remain hidden, he could have left, and he probably would have but most of his Pokemon were not back yet and still battling.

So instead he connected with all of them using Aura and sent a message, [Everyone Status report, there is someone on the island keep me posted on what you see.]

Korrina and Lucario were walking through the island trying to find what they came here for, a Lucarionite, with which their training would be complete.

Korrina came in practically jumping ready for anything, "You ready to ace this Lucario!"

"Ha? Haah (I understand that but do you know where we are going?)" Lucario asked

Korrina scratched her head, "Not a clue," making Lucario almost fall over

"But Grandfather said we would find it when the time came, so let's do our best no matter how long it takes!"

Korrina and Lucario started making their way through the weird environments, in one point there was a mountain they had to climb, then in the same instance they fell on Ice, in another, there was a volcano-like area, and then there were trees that looked like lily pads.

They had to climb over any dangerous things and on more than one occasion Korrina had to be bailed out by Lucario, like when she slipped and almost fell off the mountain or when she almost landed on lava.

The only good thing going on was that it looked like no Pokemon were bothering them, in most cases they saw Pokemon knocked out or some Pokemon in the distance battling each other, what made them confused was that some were even Mega evolved.

They wondered if maybe some trainers were on this island but before they could see or even get to the Pokemon they saw Mega evolve they saw them taken down and knocked out by another Pokemon.

This continued for a good bit where they didn't even know what was causing this until suddenly they came across a wild Houndoom with a stone in its mouth.

Lucario stood in front of Korrina as Houndoom glared at them and growled with the stone causing it to glow and obelisks towering over the island to also glow as Houndoom began to evolve.

Houndoom became mega, due to the sheer amount of Mega energy on this island Pokemon can evolve even without a Keystone or a strong bond.

Korrina saw this and was fascinated she hadn't heard of Pokemon Mega evolving on her own and wondered if this was what her Grandfather wanted to test her with.

Korrina put on her helmet as she got in a stance, "You ready for this Lucario!"

"Haah!" Lucario grunted

Houndoom growled as it ran forward, Lucario was about to launch a counterattack when suddenly from nowhere a Machamp rushed through and sent the dog flying onto a tree and took it out of its mega form in 1 hit.

Korrina and Lucario looked shocked seeing this and before their eyes, Machamp walked forward and took the Mega stone, and put it into his palm where he had another random stone.

Then they all made Eye Contact with each other as Lucario stepped in front getting into a battle stance sensing the strength of their opponent, Machamp smiled and also got ready to battle when suddenly it looked like Machamp heard something coming from his ear and stopped to listen.

Machamp frowned and grunted as he sent a punch to the ground creating a small earthquake sending Korrina and Lucario falling down as he started jumping through the trees to escape.

Korrina and Lucario just watched that unfold with complete shock, "Wha-what just happened?"

Lucario shrugged, "hah,"

Korrina and Lucario continued walking through the island looking for any sign of the Mega stone they came to get, as they continued walking they found traces of broken obelisks on the ground, and usually a knocked-out Pokemon was next to it.

Sometimes they would find intact obelisks and in them, they would see Mega stones but they would always be incomplete or in the process of forming. And with all of them, Lucario didn't feel like they were correct.

They felt like things were weird, with the behavior of the Pokemon and the island itself, for a place that was untouched by anyone it sure seemed pretty well searched.

Korrina sighed still looking, it had been a few hours at this point and they were starting to wonder what would they do if it became night, they didn't exactly bring any supplies.

As Korrina and Lucario continued looking they became a bit more distracted, well Lucario closed her eyes and tried sensing for the Mega stone and Korrina was just following not paying attention.

Then suddenly they fell into a random opening between the Mountain range they were just in, it was almost a completely vertical drop meaning neither of them had any leverage to grab on so they could only fall, which became worse when they saw that this opening led them to a drop into the raging waters below.

"Nononono!" Korrina said panicking as Lucario tried to find a way to push its hand spike into the stone but with no leverage, she couldn't get a good hit that would stay in.

So inevitably they slipped out and started falling out causing Korrina to yell and Lucario to brace herself preparing for the worst.

As they both closed their eyes they suddenly felt a tug on their arms as their momentum stopped, they both felt relieved but confused as they opened their eyes.

When they looked up the first thing they saw was a Charizard flapping his wings, but he wasn't the one grabbing them, that was a boy looking a bit younger than Korrina holding onto them and pulling them up.

"Seriously, how do you mess this up?" Ash said, causing Korrina and Lucario to flinch seeing his reaction.

—

A while later they were sitting down, Ash actually prepared Lunch before he had to go save Korrina.

When he got back he finished everything up and served Lunch to his Pokemon, Korrina and Lucario also noticed the Machamp from earlier and a lot of other Pokemon they saw.

They handed Ash a bunch of Mega stones as he put them in a bag before everyone was served, he also offered some to Korrina and Lucario, which they refused at first but after hunger got the best of them they accepted it.

After Lunch Ash told Poliwrath to spray down all the dirty bowls and cooking supplies and he returned all his Pokemon except for Pidgeot, Beedrill, and Scizor who went out again.

As Korrina and Lucario watched Ash packing things she decided to finally speak up, "Hey umm.."

"Ash, the names Ash,"

"Ok, well Ash we appreciate you saving us and even giving us Lunch, but do you mind if I ask something."

"You know, usually People introduce themselves first," Ash joked, "But shoot."

"O-oh right, well I'm Korrina and this is Lucario," Korrina said as Lucario grunted and nodded.

"But I wanted to ask, what are you doing here on this island alone?"

Ash turned back and smirked, "Isn't it obvious, why else, I'm collecting Mega Stones,"
