professor sycamore
what are you doing here professor
there’s only one reason for me to be
away from my lab and what’s that you’re
here to do research on mega evolution
right
still as perceptive as ever clement
exactly i’m doing extensive research on
dianthus gardevoir and its mega
evolution oh
whoa gardevoir it can really mega evolve
it sure can wow i want to see have you
already seen diantha professor
i have huh she’s getting her makeup done
in the next room
dianthus on the other side of that door
wow
wow we are so unbelievably lucky yes i’m
gonna challenge her to a battle
sorry to keep you waiting professor
oh dear i see you have guests don’t you
oh it’s diantha for real so pretty
why thank you so
did you reconsider what we spoke about
earlier diantha
you must mean about me lending you this
keystone right
keystone
i’m sorry but i’m afraid i can’t if
there’s anything else i can help you
with i’d be happy to
but this keystone is part of the bond i
have with gardevoir
[Music]
bond i can’t lend it to anyone sorry i
understand how you feel but please
all right then well how about the next
time i visit lumio city if i have some
time not gonna happen
no way diantha’s schedule is already
jam-packed
right now we haven’t any plans to visit
lumio city your expression is as cute as
ever when you get angry you know
why don’t we discuss this whole
scheduling conflict in a civilized way
over a little dinner no thanks
you’re on soon are you all set to go yes
you’re all welcome to stay for the
exhibition battle
[Music]
and now for today’s main event
please welcome our trainers
crowned best of brackish town just last
year say hi to magnus
he’ll be facing off against the elegant
carlos region champion diantha
yeah
[Music]
professor what’s with that keystone you
two were talking about before you see
the keystone is crucial for a pokemon to
mega evolve
the stone a trainer possesses is called
a keystone and the stone of pokemon
possesses is called a mega stone
keystone and mega stone all right
gardevoir it’s time let’s show the fans
of spectacular battles
[Music]
the champions pokemon
[Music]
hey look gardevoir is wearing a pendant
as well yeah you’re right that’s
gardevoir’s mega stone mega stones have
many different names depending on the
pokemon that mega evolves in gardevoir’s
case its mega stone is known as
gardevoiri
[Music]
i see as long as you have both a
keystone and a mega stone a pokemon can
mega evolve so cool that’s actually not
enough
huh a pokemon can’t mega evolve unless
the hearts of trainer and pokemon become
one hearts become one it means they need
to have an exceptionally strong bond
between them
of course that’s what diantha meant when
she said the keystone is part of their
bond
it sounds like the champions gardevoir
possesses the power to mega evolve yeah
that’s what i’m talking about diana’s a
great actress just like myself oh how
did i forget that
a fellow great actresses pokemon is
worthy to be my pokemon and gardevoir
will be my pokemon mark my words smart
in addition the boss will love a pokemon
that can mega evolve now absol let’s go
so
part of war and
absal the disaster pokemon when
disasters are detected with its horn
absol comes down from the mountains to
warn people
here we go
now let the battle begin
you may go first magnus thank you
absolutely use bite
oh it’s gone
absol behind
it appears diantha and gardevoir can
communicate by making eye contact huh oh
wow they can do that
i’d have to say it’s their strong bond
that allows them to successfully
accomplish that
all right you psycho cut
use shadow
[Music]
in that case use parish song
checkmate use moonblast
[Music]
absol is unable to battle gardevoir is
the winner which means the victory goes
to diantha
incredible
is amazing
she’s strong gardevoir didn’t make it
evolve and they still won
[Applause]
yeah i’m gonna get her to battle me i’ll
ask her again too for my research
shooting a movie right now so she’s
already left the stadium
oh man she’s already gone movie stars
sure are busy that’s too bad so what do
we do now wait just a sec
let’s go here it says they make the best
chocolate cake anywhere let’s find out i
want to go too
sounds great would you like to come
professor sure do first i have to send
the footage to the research lab i’ll
meet you there great
huh
oh there’s a crowd here too
it seems like there’s a huge crowd
everywhere we go today yeah they’re not
getting me down let’s move it right with
you oh
i’m exhausted but we finally managed to
get a piece of cake can’t wait to try
some
now let’s see
what are you thinking that slice is for
the four of us ah this one slice that’s
right if we’re not splitting it i’ll
just eat it all by myself hey i want
some banana
one slice that’s all sounds like that’s
my cue
the future is now thanks to science
climatic gear on i thought we would
encounter a situation precisely like
this one i call it the precisely even
cut-o-matic precisely even cut-o-matic
like the name suggests it eliminates the
imperfection from eyeballing a cut
making equal slices with 0.1 millimeter
precision we’ve got this one piece it’s
got to be right all right here we go
you’re sold out already uh-huh i am so
very sorry
what a tragedy to think i came all this
way just to have a piece of this shop’s
award-winning chocolate cake oh
the end of the world end of the world
that’s disappointment
ma’am
if you’re okay with a bite we’ll be
happy to share ours with you you will
sure

huh
hi it’s me
[Music]

i just adore desserts oh i do too me too
whenever i visited town for work i
always look forward to sampling their
most popular desserts whether i’m busy
or not movie star and champion juggling
two jobs must be challenging to say the
least but i do it out of love
so it’s really not work at all you’re so
amazing that’s right you’re a
love keeper please take care of my
brother
take care i told you to stop this you
see my brother is a bit shy so i thought
it would be good if he married a
dependable woman like you
me marry your brother
it was a joke i wasn’t joking excuse me
diantha please have a pokemon battle
with me huh you
ash
you must know diantha doesn’t get much
private time and here you are bothering
her this way
yeah but i want to be a pokemon master
so having a battle with you would be
awesome because you’re the champion
please
[Music]
all right
huh i usually turn down unofficial
battle requests but you shared your
chocolate cake with me just this once oh
right she said yes pikachu
against the champion eh huh professor
if you don’t mind i’d like to come watch
it
[Music]
i see you’re going to use pikachu right
right
now i really hope to see a mega
evolution this time
battle begin
you may go first ash pikachu use iron
irontail
now follow it with quick attack
use electric ball
[Music]
pikachu’s moves didn’t do a thing wow
and checkmate
shadow ball go go
[Music]
pikachu
ash oh man that hurt but i’m fine hey
buddy are you okay too we got you all
right the real battle starts now
he really cares about his pokemon
ash is a very passionate trainer
prepare for trouble actress to actor but
two or too many so more is really less
to protect the world from competition in
keeping with the actors tradition to
perform with great style truth and love
to allow great talent to fit like a
glove
jessie and james team rocket lasts up
with award-winning grace surrender now
or prepare for us in your face
team rocket you’re doing it again there
are a bunch of really bad guys who go
around stealing other people’s pokemon
they steal pokemon what despicable
people why thank you
we’ll wear that as a badge of honor
since i’m the greatest actress of all
time i accept your kind words quick
gardevoir shadow ball
ooh smashing the only thing getting in
and out of this box is sunlight dig
don’t worry i’ll take us right to them
huh diantha
wait
do you know where gardevoir is yes
come on clement
it happened when i was in the lapidarian
highlands for a film shoot wow that’s
one of the last unexplored regions in
the world yes that’s right
a thick fog rolled into the area while
we were shooting
[Music]
[Music]
god
later my manager kathy lee told me that
gardevoir had appeared from its pokeball
on its own
it then guided everyone to exactly where
i had gotten lost hmm could the stones
be responsible for what happened
i wonder maybe dianthus and gardevoir’s
hearts were connected and called out to
each other did you say it was our hearts
i think ash is right yeah
hmm
huh
gardevoir is up ahead
huh
it’s them
so let’s review this gardevoir can mega
evolve and once it’s safely into the
boss’s hands we’ll evolve into big shots
a major mega promotion
[Music]
hey
there they are ash i want you all to
stay here uh but it’ll be fine
all right
you listen i want my gardevoir
how’d she find us
the howl means nothing we’ll just see
now gardevoir let’s show them a few
things about a strong bond
[Applause]
is it it is that’s when a pokemon mega
evolves gardevoir now mega evil
[Music]
yeah check it out wow it mega evolved
what a science excellent it’s so cool
marvelous uh i think we’re in trouble
chill our box can deal with anything
that glute dishes out
you shadow balls
[Music]
our box
is power
and checkmate excellent work use moon
blast
let’s see the hasty retreat step on
let’s go
[Applause]
[Music]
hey look it changed back right what
makes mega evolution different from
ordinary evolution is it isn’t permanent
[Music]
that’s what i call perfect timing
[Music]
ash
i realize we weren’t able to finish our
battle together but it was fun i thought
it was fun too
thanks so much to all of you
will we ever see you again i want to
talk to you more
now you shouldn’t bother her like that
i’m sorry i have a movie shoot to get to
i want to thank you for showing me the
bond that’s so crucial for a pokemon to
mega evolve i’m glad i was able to help
take care
diantha
right now i’m training really hard to
enter the carlos league so when i win
will you battle with me again
that’s a tall order
but that’s the spirit yes i look forward
to it
an encounter with diantha has given our
heroes and professor sycamore a deeper
look into the mysteries of mega
evolution
now it’s off once again to shalour city
as the journey continues
[Music]
