Long ago, Yong had obtained a Key Stone in Golbat's cave and later received an Aggron Mega Stone from Steven. But since his bond with Aggron had not yet reached the point where they understood each other's hearts, he had never tried having Aggron undergo Mega Evolution.
Fortunately, he had later obtained the ability "Great Matrix Heart" from the system, giving him a way to quickly strengthen their bond until it met the requirements for Mega Evolution.
That had kept Yong happy for a long time.
But now, he had actually obtained another Mega Stone! And it was a Steelix Mega Stone!
With the bond he shared with Steelix, there would be almost no obstacles. He could start trying Mega Evolution right away!
This really was an unexpected surprise!
With the Aggron leader's approval, Yong gleefully put the Steelix Mega Stone into his backpack, then generously poured out a large pile of rare metals and ores he had prepared in advance as a gift.
For a while, everyone present, whether Yong the human or all the Pokémon, was delighted.
The Aron and Lairon also let down their guard, daring to approach Yong, the outsider, and happily enjoying the food.
Meanwhile, Aggron followed its father deeper into the cave and disappeared from sight.
Yong scratched his head hesitantly, then finally made up his mind and spoke to Lunatone.
"Lunatone, I have a favor to ask..."
Lunatone floated in midair, its red eyes glowing faintly.
"You have earned our friendship, so please, go ahead, Yong..."
"Um... here's the thing. I have a partner, Claydol! It has some talent for psychic power, and I'd like to bring it here. Could it receive some guidance from you...?"
"No problem. I would be happy to meet a gifted fellow Psychic Pokémon."
Yong breathed a sigh
