Julian comes back to the beach and hands over the Jet Ski, he then starts to search for water stones for Professor Oak, he already found the Ice Stone in the cave now the remaining one is the water stone, he looks everywhere at the shore, underwater, shops, marts everywhere but nowhere to be found, he at least gets a clue that at the northeast of the island where he might find one but the stones there are protected by Pokemon.

Julian heads towards the northeast side of the Island to see a huge cliff and when he looked down he saw waves smashing on to this cliff walls. ​​

Julian ‘Looks like I have to dive in to find one but the waves here are very dangerous looks like I have to get Gyarados’s help again’

Julian calls out Gyarados and jumps on to his head as Gyarados dives down as they look around they finally find a boulder under the sea with a Water Stone the pokemon which was guarding the stone had already fled after seeing Gyarados so Julian took it put it in his pouch, as they where about to go back something attracted Gyarados’s attention.

Julian noticing Gyarados reaction tells him to swim up so they could talk once they reach the surface Julian takes a breath and looks at Gyarados

Julian “Did you notice something buddy?”

Gyarados nods with excitement in his eyes, Julian is intrigued why Gyarados is so excited to find something they both dive down again as Gyarados swims and finally reaches a sunken ship, Julian looks at the ship and sees that this thing is pretty old and must have been here for more than fifty years, Julian swims inside and see that there are few human skeletons here

Julian ‘Looks like few people drowned here with the ship’

Julian started to explore the ship inside out and finally found something resonating and shining inside the captain’s cabin which was pitch black as he went in he found a wild Gyarados sleeping curled up around something shining Julian didn’t know what it was, he went outside and told Gyarados to attack the ship’s cabin.

Gyarados puffed his chest and sent a Hyper Beam towards the cabin where the wild Gyarados was sleeping

Julian ‘I told you to attack it not destroy it, well never mind’

The wild Gyarados which was sleeping inside was blown away as it became angry and saw what attacked it, it froze on the spot seeing a huge red Gyarados and escaped without giving a second thought, seeing that the wild Gyarados running away Julian moved back towards the ship as it was now fully destroyed by Gyarados and the shining object was also blown away somewhere Julian just shook his head and asked Gyarados if he could sense it.

Gyarados looked around and finally came over a broken piece of metal, Julian swim towards it and lifted it up and to his surprise, he found a Mega Stone to be exact it was a Gyaradosite

Julian ‘It’s actually a Mega Stone for Gyarados, I didn’t think I will find one until I reach Kalos region looks like we were lucky for Gyarados to actually sense this Mega Stone If there is a Mega Stone here there might even be a keystone’

Julian started to search for the Keystone but he couldn’t find it but he found some gold coins and some abandoned pokeballs which were empty after failing to find one Julian came up with two conclusion

Julian ‘If there was a Keystone here it might have been eaten by some Pokemon or There might have never been one and this Mega stone was found by someone and died in this ship while traveling’

Julian was disappointed as he couldn’t find a Keystone but he didn’t need one now as his Gyarados were pretty strong right now and Mega Evolving him will be just overkill

Julian ‘I think we should go now’

Julian went and sat on Gyarados head as he looked at the Megastone in this hand and thinking about how his Gyarados will be after Mega Evolving, Gyarados resurfaced and swim back to the Island shore.

Julian “Gyarados you were great today finding a Mega Stone it will be a great asset in increasing your strength”

Gyarados was happy being praised by Julian and roared scaring few people around the beach, Julian quickly apologized to them and sent Gyarados back to his Pokeball.

Julian ‘My work in Seafoam Island is over I should head back to the mainland now, my next destination would be the abandoned power plant and to defeat Zapdos, it will be a very tough battle but I have plans for Zapdos’

Julian quickly went towards the seaport to see any ship or ferry leaving to the mainland but they were all leaving tomorrow so Julian reserved a ticket for himself and went back to the pokemon center, after reaching there he asked for pokemon massage therapy for his pokemons to release their stress as the center was also providing it, he didn’t want his pokemons to be suffering from muscle strain and sourness after sending them to the therapy he went and called Professor Oak

Oak “Oh Julian you called pretty fast, what happened”

Julian “Nothing Professor Oak I just wanted to tell you that I found both Ice and water stones for you”

Oak “Hahaha, you already found them I knew I could rely on you and I also have contacted someone about the electirizer and I will receive it in a month time so when you come here I will give it to you”

Julian “Thank you, Professor Oak, By the way, do you know what this is?”

Julian takes out the Mega stone he found and shows it to Oak, Oak seeing the Megastone is surprised to see a Mega stone with Julian as he becomes serious

Oak “Julian where did you find this stone”

Julian already deducted that professor Oak knew about Mega Stones after hearing his question

Julian “Gyarados found it under the Sea while we were searching for water stones”

Oak “Did you find any other stones similar to this one but smaller”

Julian “No I only found this one”

Oak “I see, Julian, let me tell you a secret you have to keep this to yourself until this matter becomes public”

Julian nods replying to Oak

Oak “What you found there is called a Mega stone, if I am correct it must be a Gyaradosite seeing that your Gyarados found it, these Mega stones with the help of a similar stone called the Keystone to stimulate your pokemon to evolve beyond its final evolution it is called Mega Evolution but this evolution is temporary, this matter is still kept secret as researchers are still trying to figure it out but after the research is done they are planning to make this information public till then you have to keep this to your self”

Julian “I understand Professor”

Oak “Good, then I will be going as you will be coming back in months or two I want to do some extra research on these Mega stones so that we can test it when you come back”

The screen goes off and Julian gets up from the private boot to go back to his room

Julian ‘Looks like my guess was right few people know about Mega Stones but they have not completed the research on it, from what I know there are only a few pokemons are known to Mega Evolve and others are unknown but I think every pokemon can Mega evolve its just that they have not found the Mega stones for them, hell even Mewtwo can Mega Evolve and the world doesn’t even know that it exists, looks like Mega stones can be found for any pokemons but have to find the right one for a particular species for them to Mega Evolve’

Julian thinks about many possibilities about Mega Evolution and is very intrigued by this concept he commands his system to start researching on Mega evolutions after that he goes to sleep as night has arrived and tomorrow he has to go to the mainland to continue his journey.
