Grumbling aside, Chu Xin was still curious. Now that Bai Le was here, where was he planning to take him to get Heracross's Mega Evolution Stone?
"I really envy you for having an Elite Four master. He can even provide treasures like Mega Evolution Stones."
Chu Xin could hardly help being envious. Mega Evolution Stones were incredibly rare treasures to begin with. There weren't many in all of China, and even the Pokémon League in China classified them as strategic resources!
Even Chu Xin only had Manectric's Mega Evolution Stone so far. It was an heirloom Zeraora had given Electrike after Chu Xin passed Zeraora's Trial. In a sense, that Mega Evolution Stone belonged not to Chu Xin, but to Electrike.

Having someone powerful backing you really did make things much easier. If he had an Elite Four master too, why would he need to go to so much trouble?
