Pokemon Y - From the Tower of Mastery to Coumarine City

I went to the Tower of Mastery to meet up with Korrina, and the guru told me that Korrina, the Mega Evolution successor, was waiting for me at the top of the tower. I went up the spiral path, and went to the first room, where I learned that the Mega Evolution guru's real name is Gurkinn.

I went into the second room after I went higher up the tower, though I didn't find much, and I continued going up the tower. I received TM47 (Low Sweep) before I continued on and reached the top of the Tower of Mastery. It was there that I found Korrina looking out over the world below from the balcony.

Korrina told me she loved that place, and said that when she's there with her Pokemon, looking at the sky above, all her worries disappear, and she feels like she can do anything. She came close and thanked me for coming there, and told me it was decided that this must be the place where the Mega Ring is handed over. She said it was about making sure we never forget to set our sights as high as the sky.

Korrina handed over the Mega Ring, a bracelet I wore on my wrist, and she told me how to use the power of Mega Evolution. One of her Lucario seemed to act up after that, and it came to stand by my side. It turned out that the Lucario wanted to battle alongside me, and Korrina was surprised that some traveling Trainer like myself had a stronger bond with it than she did.

Korrina asked if I would battle her Lucario with the one who had sided with me, and I had no issues with it at all. She revealed that both had their Mega Stones, Lucarionite, and were ready for Mega Evolution.

The battle started, and Korrina sent out her Lucario, while I sent out mine. I urged Lucario to Mega Evolve, and he transformed into a powerful new form, before the other Lucario also Mega Evolved. My Lucario struck with Power-Up Punch, and it was a critical hit that knocked out Korrina's Lucario instantly!

After the battle, Korrina told me that with such a strong bond like I had with Lucario, I shouldn't have any trouble triggering my Pokemon's Mega Evolution. Korrina thought it best that I bring Lucario along on my journey, and thought we made a great team. I had no problems with that, even though I had a Riolu from Sinnoh waiting.

I sent Cadence to the PC and received Lucario, and Korrina told me that as long as Pokemon and Trainers have the kindness to care for each other and give each other courage, the world would be full of smiles. I wasn't sure about all of that, but I was certainly happy to have the Mega Ring to make my Pokemon even more powerful.

I left the Tower of Mastery, and I gave Logan his Mega Stone to hold onto for later. I went to the Pokemon Center to make sure my team was ready for the road ahead, and also switch Lucario out for Cadence once more before I headed for the gate to Route 12.

I reached the gate to Route 12, and Serena came up from behind and gave me HM03 (Surf). Serena commented on how amazing it was that I had just moved to the Kalos region and started traveling with her and the others. I thought it was nice to have so many companions on my journey, especially if things got troublesome like in previous regions.

I taught Jack to use Surf in place of Water Pulse, and then I continued on to Route 12. I started on Route 12, Fourrage Road, and met up with a Trainer who asked me to take a Lapras who saved him to see the world. I had to go back to the city to get an empty slot, then I received Lapras (Water/Ice, Female, Lv. 30) and I went back to the city to switch her out before I would continue along Route 12.

I went looking through the tall grass at the start of Route 12, and I caught a Slowpoke (Water/Psychic, Male, Lv. 24) in the off chance I didn't have a second for both evolutions. Thanks to the battle, Gabriel grew to Level 36, and I continued looking through the tall grass to find a Chatot (Normal/Flying, Female, Lv. 23) and at the end of the battle Brody grew to Level 34.

I went back to the city to heal Brody, then I returned to Route 12 to continue along to the next town. I saw immediately that I would need Jack to use Surf to continue on, and I started along the water to find myself in a battle. I used the opportunity to have Logan Mega Evolve for the first time, and he transformed into an impressive and powerful new form to strike down the Trainer's Qwilfish, and then his Binacle as well.

I went across the stream to get into another battle, then afterward I found a small farm, where I received TM45 (Attract) from a little girl there, and I rode on one of the Skiddo they were raising to find a Whipped Dream, a Shiny Stone, a Sachet, and Leftovers before I made my way out of there to continue onward.

I got into a battle as I made my way through, and Axel, Cadence, Logan, AND Jack all grew to Level 35, then afterwards I decided to head back to the city to load up on supplies for the journey ahead. I spent quite a lot of money on supplies, but I was confident that I could face whatever challenges would lay ahead.

I got into another battle, and Brody grew to Level 35, then I continued along to reach another Trainer looking for a battle. Through the battle, Gabriel grew to Level 37, and Axel grew to Level 36. I healed my Pokemon, then I continued going through Route 12. I got into another battle with another Trainer, a Fisherman, and through the battle Jack, Cadence, AND Logan all grew to Level 36.

After the battle was over, Jack evolved into Greninja, and wanted to learn Water Shuriken, though I decided not to have him learn that move. I continued along the path, and reached Coumarine City.

It was there that I got a Holo Clip from Serena, who challenged me to a battle in front of the Gym. I found out that to reach the Pokemon Center and Coumarine Gym, I would need to ride on a monorail. I went into the station, and found Professor Sycamore there, along with that actress, Diantha, who I met in Lumiose City.

Professor Sycamore congratulated me on obtaining everything I needed for Mega Evolution, both the Mega Stone for my Pokemon and a Mega Ring for the Trainer. Diantha was a bit confused about the bond needed when Sycamore said it was required, and he explained that he believed a strong bond between Pokemon and Trainer is the key to this new evolution.

Professor Sycamore posed questions about Mega Evolution, wondering what kind of bond was needed, and why Mega Evolution was seemingly found only in the Kalos region. She asked him if it made him think of something like Kalos's Legendary Pokemon, only found in Kalos, and she thought that maybe it wasn't a coincidence. Sycamore thought that she posed an excellent point, and before he could get too caught up in thoughts of more research, he handed over HM02 (Fly) which I could use to get around the region.

Sycamore left after that, and Diantha commented on the importance of bonds to all people and Pokemon, and she told me that when she's acting she thinks she's always trying to forge a bond between herself the character she plays as. She revealed that if she only thinks about how different she is from a character then she just ends up hating it, but if she focuses on what she has in common with the character, then she might be able to understand her. She claimed it was the same for people or Pokemon, then apologized for babbling about her own things.

Diantha requested a battle next time we'd meet, and then she left. I taught Fly to Gabriel in place of Peck. I rode the monorail to the Pokemon Center, and I healed my team there before I called it a day. Before that though, I met up with Mr. Bonding, and received a new O-Power, Befriending Power Lv. 1, which makes Pokemon grow friendly more easily.

I would have to battle Serena later, and explore Coumarine City as well. But not this day.

Current Team:

Brody (Diggersby, Normal/Ground, Lv. 35)
Cadence (Floette, Fairy, Lv. 36)
Logan (Venusaur, Grass/Poison, Lv. 36)
Jack (Greninja, Water/Dark, Lv. 36)
