"It was his own quote from what I heard that their current power would last millions of years. He already had power and a legacy but wanted more... And my parent's NATURE conservation talk got confused for wanting to talk about that at first. I just tried to make sure no other gym challengers knew+

"How to sum it up...? Galar uses these rocks called Wishing Stars for their power. It's actually clean energy, not like coal. It turns out clustering too many gets the attention of a destructive Pokémon that blocked out the sun... Knowing this, a man did it on purpose to solve some imagined power+

"I might look for it if I'm ever back in Paldea. It's certainly interesting."

Itsuki's eyes lit up, looking at it. "It looks so regal!"

"Oh, no worries. I imagine a job like that is busy. My parents are kind of conservationists with my mom researching the link between Grass-type Pokémon and plants. Traveled to many regions to study and speak about the environment. Man, visiting Galar after The Darkest Day was...a trip..."

"A Rangee Chief?! I've heard of them from moving around with my parents but never got to meet one! That must be exciting."

"Oh! Well, that explains that. I didn't see him leave his Pokéball. Honestly, that's even sweeter. I've never heard of that. Well, the shelter to give trainers their first Pokémon, yes, but a lab that's also a daycare is sweet."

Viper blinked, crouching down in surprised. "A Sableye outside a Wild Zone is rare enough! Where did you come from, little one?"

"Oh! A poly. How cute. Hey, no judgement on that from me. Long as everyone can and does consent, love is love."

"That still sounds lovely. And I can tell from how you're talking how much you love your partner and home. It's so sweet."

"A robotic fashion of Gardevoir and Gallade?! You have my attention."

Sneezed as he gets off the train in Kalos. "...Someone bloody talking about me?"

"Yo! You just wait! I'm going to be the hottest thing in every region someday!" -Hemlock. "Remember it!" -22 -Pan -Wannabe Rocker -Team: Toxtricity(F), Skuntank(F), Toxicoak(M). "Yeah, I know I have an issue with ground-types. Shove it!" -Home Region: ??? "Why does it matter?"

"Okay. One is this beauty. I don't suppose you can tell me about the other two?"

"Looking into the Fairy-Types couldn't hurt if I'm ever in the area again..."

There was a grin on his face at that. "Oh! Hiw adorably cozy! I almost got seriously with a man that lived out of a tent. It's actually really nice sharing space with someone you want to be close to..."

"Boyfriend, huh? That's really cute! You all live together?" He gave a soft laugh. "Sorry. Just that really is adorable to me. I'm not exactly a romantic but I still love to cheer on happy couples."

"Tandor? I don't think I've ever heard of that region. Is that where you're from?"

"From the rumors, it seems it floated down to check you out but still decided to come with me. Oh?" Viper crouched down, curious about the Pokémon. "You...look like an ice Mareep?"

He was in shock all over again before walking over to pick up the ball. "Thanks! Well...talk about dumb luck."

"Wha-?" Viper paused, his eyes going wide. "Sh-Shiny...Gastly...oh..." Quickly he pulled out a Dusk Ball, launching it at the Pokémon.

"Terry, right? I heard rumors of a shiny Gastly that managed to break free of the graveyard of was seen floating on the rooftops! Oh course with how subtle Gastly is, it could have been a trick of the light..."

Suddenly Viper was seen jumping off a roof, their Rotom stopping them from hitting the ground hard. The shock on his face made it clear he didn't mean to land in front of Terry. "Oh! Hello again."

"I guess that depends. Are any of them poison-types? I didn't know it was because there were such Pokémon there so I never researched..."

Itsuki gave a soft laugh. "Well...she sure did a good job of accidentally derailing everything. I tried moving to Paldea just to take the challenge there but I also actually listened when the teachers said not to go there..."

"It's fine. Pokémon have their own personalities. You know I have to deal with a spoiled Floette. Being a good trainer is trying to work with them, right?"

He was in shock for a moment before giving a soft laugh, trying to pet the Pokémon. "You...didn't even realize you were coming out to a battle, did you? Are you okay?"

"Wait. What? Whoa!?" Itsuki quickly got out of the way but there was no helping his Scolipede at the moment as it fainted before he recalled it. "Uh...i-is your Pokemon okay?!"

Actually, life is beautiful and I have time.

"The city would welcome it. Useful doesn't mean it's not destructive."

"It's because of those shards popping up. They're easier to make as long as trainers keep turning them in."

"Are...you okay?"

Well, he wasn't expecting that reaction. "It's kind of a reward. The mega shards are making a huge mess of the city, growing like vines. And you'd need at least 200 shards and the average you'll get unless you find a huge vein is 5. So it still is some work that benefits the city."

"You'd assume correct."

"You didn't know? Yeah. You can grab some of the shards growing around town and turn them into Quasartico Inc on Autumnal Avenue."

"Hang on..." Scolipede didn't faint but shifted back to normal. It was either horrible or perfect timing considering that meant it was slowed yet faster than it's mega again. "Scolipede! It seemed to really hate that! Go for another Gunk Shot!"

"Most of the newly discovered stones you can buy, you know."

"Whoa" Focus! "Scolipede! Roll Out to close the distance and then Gunk Shot." She wasn't as fast anymore but she did her best, rushing forward to attack before the mega energy ran out.

"They're real?!" Well, they just lost the plot of the battle.

Itsuki was getting antsy for a moment. Scolipede could only stay that way for so long before having to recharge. But then he saw it... "What...is that? It's not a mega... Wait. I...swear I read of something like that in a magazine last year..."

"It's what you're here to research, right? A lot have been discovered. And the regulations of one per a team are gone now..." A little tease of what else Sun could see.

Itsuki quickly returned Arbok to his ball as he fainted. He was sweating a little. Dragalge had a water attack but Nidoking knew Ice Punch... "Go! Scolipede!" He moved quick, puling out..a choker with a megastone on it? The trainer was fast to activate it. "Give Nidoking a taste of his own+

"Arbok! Watch out!" Even with the speed and how tanky he was, an Earthquake was hard to escape from. Arbok was hanging on by a thread but Itsuki was hanging onto the assumption of no healing... "Arbok! Try to get in one more Ice Fang! You can do it!"

"Oh! Such a little cutie! Where did y-" The café worker froze as he looked up. "You...you're..."

Itsuki couldn't help himself. He started walking passed before he saw and froze. A Budew. A shiny Budew! "Oh! Little baby!"
