Lumiose City, Sycamore Pokémon Lab.
After helping Professor Sycamore collect the basic data,
Mega Latios and Mega Latias circled gracefully through the air. Then the light faded, and they returned to their original forms.
Li Wei had already had Meloetta demonstrate how the Eon Flute could enable the Latios siblings to evolve.
"Next is the second method of evolution: the usual Mega Stones."
