"Steelix, Mega Evolve!"
As Bertha's solemn voice rang out, the Key Stone on her necklace instantly burst forth with Mega Evolution light, activating the Mega Evolution Stone carried by Steelix.

All he could say was.
As expected of a veteran Elite Four member. Her preparations were indeed thorough enough.
"Elite Four Bertha, you're waiting for my Infernape to go down,
