Lumiose City, Sycamore Pokémon Lab.
Li Wei had thought about it before.
There ought to be more Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution in the Pokémon world than he knew of.
He simply hadn't expected a discovery to come so quickly.
Now, a Dragonite Mega Stone lay right before him.
"This is simply marvelous!"
True to his reputation as Dr. Subarashii, Professor Sycamore couldn't help rising to his feet.

Professor Sycamore's eyes widened at once.
"Don't tell me... you meant them?"
"That's right. Latios and Latias are the ones capable of Mega Evolution."
The red-and-blue pair, Latios and Latias, hovered quietly
