Roy didn't answer Steven's question, but instead asked in return:
Where is your Aggron?
"Aggron? At the mine, what's wrong?"
"Take me there, right now!"
"Wait, I just got back and haven't showered yet. At least let me change my clothes..."
"Uncle Lan, drive! Something's come up!"
Watching Steven being dragged away by Roy, the butler Uncle Lan was unsure whether he should prepare bathwater for him. The relationship between this boy and his young master was just like that between the master and Drake.
Roy pulled Steven down to the bottom of the building. Steven had a completely new understanding of Roy's strength. Fortunately, Roy didn't really use his strength, otherwise he could have dragged him away.
He couldn't understand what had made the other person so agitated.
Butler Uncle Lan's car had already driven out of the underground garage, Steven no longer knew whether it was his own butler or Roy's butler.
Uncle Lan drove the two of them to a mine in the suburbs.
At this moment, the mine was still in operation, excavating ore. When the mine manager saw that it was Steven, he panicked instantly. Why hadn't anyone informed him of the Crown Prince's arrival?
"Young Master, you...?"
Where is my Aggron?
So they were looking for Aggron. The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the two of them to Aggron, who was munching on a pile of rare metal ore on the mountain.
Upon seeing Steven, Aggron quickly put down the iron ore it was holding and rushed towards Steven, understanding the importance of a full stomach.
Steven's Aggron is slightly larger than Sano Tianyu's, and its level is 54, Pseudo-Elite Four level. Its Ability is also Heavy Metal Ability.
This behemoth of steel slowed down and approached Steven when Steven was still 10 meters away, giving off a very docile feeling.
Steven patted his own steel behemoth's belly, wondering why Roy insisted on coming to see his Aggron.
What are you doing?
Of course, it has to be Mega Evolution!
Now that we have the Key Stone, Aggron, and the Mega Stone, and Steven is here too, it's the perfect time to verify whether Mega Evolution exists.
Roy whispered in Steven's ear, Steven's eyes widened as he listened to Roy's words, staring at Roy in disbelief. At that moment, all he wanted to ask was, "Are you crazy?"
But the unwavering determination in the other person's eyes was exactly the same as it had been in the Meteor Cave, making it impossible for him to utter those words.
In the end, he was defeated by Roy's gaze.
Steven turned to the mine manager and said:
"You should go back now. Also, don't let anyone else come here."
"Yes, young master."
After the mine manager left, Roy released his Pokémon and had them guard various corners of the ore area.
Steven also followed Roy's example and released the Metagross and Skarmory he was carrying.
"Is it true that the final evolved Pokémon can evolve again? You're not lying to me?"
"I'd eat all the ore from the mine if I were lying."
Roy promised that although he currently had two Mega Stones, Golurk was still nowhere to be seen, and Snorunt had only reached level 8 today, so Roy didn't plan to let her evolve into Froslass right now.
That means only Steven's Aggron is worth trying.
But seeing that Steven still looked doubtful, Roy took the Snorunt from Steven's arms and said:
"It's not something I can explain to you in a short time, but you can try it first."
With Steven skepticism, Daigo followed Roy's instructions and replaced the perfect-quality Metal Coat on Aggron, instead equipping it with Aggron's Mega Stone.
At this point, Steven was already somewhat convinced, because only Pokémon items could be integrated into Pokémon's body.
He had previously let Metagross try carrying the stone out of curiosity, but it couldn't be carried at all. However, Aggron was able to carry it, which meant that Roy definitely knew about it beforehand.
Steven gripped the Key Stone tightly in one hand. After Aggron was equipped with the Mega Stone, Steven felt a barely Frisk connection between himself and his Aggron. This connection was definitely real; Roy really hadn't lied to him.
"Can you feel the energy of evolution?"
Steven nodded. It was less energy and more a connection. Feeling this connection, Steven uttered the line Roy had prepared for him. "Let the brilliance of the stone become a bond!"
The Key Stone in Steven's hand and the Mega Stone on Aggron reacted simultaneously, and a beam of light shone from the Key Stone onto Aggron.
Aggron is beginning to show signs of evolution.
Unlike normal Pokémon Evolutions, which takes several minutes or even more than ten minutes, Mega Evolution only takes a mere 5 seconds.
Aggron was already quite large, grew even larger, reaching a height of about 5 meters, becoming roughly the same size as Roy's oversized Palossand. The iron components inside its body transformed into steel armor, covering its entire body.

The steel behemoth before us should now be called Mega Aggron.
After Mega Evolution, Aggron's physical defense increased to 230, its attack increased by 30 points to 140, and its Special Defense increased by 20 points to 80.
After Mega Evolution, Aggron's type changes from Steel/Rock to pure Steel. It becomes immune to Poison type and is only weak to Ground, Fire, Fighting type, but it gains 10 defensive options, further enhancing its resistances.
Its high physical defense of 230, combined with its Filter Ability to reduce type-advantage damage, makes it a powerful physical tank.
Its weaknesses are also obvious: it lacks stable self-healing, has poor endurance, and although its physical attack is 140, its Steel type makes its offensive capabilities only average.
But that's just theory in the game; how it performs in reality depends on Steven's command.
Mega Aggron looked at its new body with great confusion.
It actually worked!
Is this... what Roy meant by Mega Evolution?
Steven was completely dumbfounded, but then became excited, mainly because Mega Aggron looked very strong.
