Reyes' XY Journey, Part 3
Reyes spent some time training on Route 22 after winning the Bug Badge, and it proved to make Bunnelby stronger by learning Take Down. Reyes continued on to Lumiose City, but first Reyes had to get past the hedge mazes along Rout 4. A lot of Ledybas and Flabebes lurked, and a few Gardeners challenged him, and it made his Fennekin evolve into Braixen, who also learned Psybeam! Reyes was satisfied with the training, and proceeded to Lumiose, only to be stopped by Professor Sycamore's assistants, Sina and Dexio. They assigned themselves as tour guides of Lumiose for the overwhelmed Reyes.
Unfortunately, there was a blackout happening in central Lumiose, so travel between North and South Boulevard was forbidden. Sina and Dexio took Reyes to the Pokemon Center to check in, and they showed him the Pokemon Lab, where Reyes finally met the man that gave him a Pokedex, Professor Sycamore. Professor Sycamore was pleased with Reyes' progress and challenged him to a battle. Reyes won with relative ease, and around then Tierno, Trevor, Shauna, and Serena showed up. Sycamore offered the Kanto starters to the gang, and Reyes ended up with a Squirtle along with an interesting stone called "Blastoisinite." Sycamore told the crew that he's interested in a process called Mega Evolution, and the stones like Blastoisinite are responsible for Mega Evolution. He told them to travel to Camphrier Town for any sort of clues that might be there. Before they all left, Serena told Reyes to meet her in Cafe Soleil down the street. Reyes was hungry however, and decided to eat at Le Nah restaurant, where the main cook was enraged, and wanting to take his anger out on someone. Reyes offered to battle him in a Double Battle, and Braixen and Bunnelby were used. Reyes found it hard to command two Pokemon at the same time, but he managed to defeat the cook's Pansage, Pansear, and Panpour! Once the cook settled down, the waiter apologized for the cook's behavior, explaining that his daughter's 10th birthday was today, and he had no gift for her. Reyes, feeling sorry for the poor cook, gave Squirtle to the cook for his daughter, and that resulted in Reyes getting paid to eat at the restaurant!
Reyes later met up with Serena at Cafe Soleil, only to meet the ever-famous movie star Diantha talking to a man named Lysandre, who Serena explained was the inventor of the Holo Caster. They overheard their conversation about eternal beauty, and Lysandre pointed out Serena and Reyes to Diantha. They both left, and Serena went about her business; she wanted to be official rivals to Reyes. Reyes accepted, and they left as rivals.
It was time to head to Camphrier Town, but Reyes ended spending time at the Skating Rink on Route 5, where he found a Great Ball and Super Potion. He even caught his third Pokemon, Skiddo! However, a Trainer with a Kadabra offered to battle immediately after, and it managed to defeat Skiddo and Bunnelby with ease. Reyes realized that some further training needed done before he got to Camphrier Town.
