==Plot==
==Plot==
The heroes arrive to Pomace Mountains, where Korrina introduces herself. From the house, a Mawile appears. An old woman, who is Mawile's trainer, arrives. The heroes introduce themselves, while the old woman, Mabel, asks of Korrina to show what she and Lucario achieved by now. Both Mabel and Korrina are on the battle field and press their Key Stones, Mega Evolving Lucario into Mega Lucario and Mawile into Mega Mawile. Mega Lucario starts with Power-Up Punch, but Mega Mawile jumps and dodges. Mega Lucario uses Bone Rush, but Mega Mawile evades its attacks. Mega Mawile uses Iron Head, hitting Mega Lucario. Mega Lucario is enraged and becomes furious, using Power-Up Punch. However, Mega Mawile uses Fairy Wind, defeating Mega Lucario and ending the battle.
Following [[Gurkinn]]'s instructions, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and {{an|Korrina}} arrive at a treehouse on [[Pomace Mountain]]. The door is opened by a {{p|Mawile}}, and soon its {{pkmn|Trainer}} [[Mabel]] arrives and introduces herself to the group. She asks Korrina and {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} to show her their strength in a battle.


Mabel thanks Mawile, who also returns to its original form. Korrina tells Lucario they are here to master the Mega Evolution and asks of Mabel to help them. Team Rocket saw this battle and plan on catching Lucario, Mawile and Pikachu, but want to wait for the moment when the twerps are vulnerable. Mabel, at her house, thinks Korrina and Lucario would do well to arrange flowers, thinking the same would apply to their friends. Serena sends Fennekin and everyone arranges the flowers. Clemont uses a machine, his eyeglasses glowing, to speed up the arrangements. The machine cuts the flowers' stem and puts them in cups. However, the machine is too fast and explodes, burning everyone inside the room. Mabel checks up on them and sees the arrangements. She praises them, seeing these represent the bond between them and Pokémon. She leaves and asks them to make more arrangements, confusing Korrina, who wanted to study and train.
The battle starts with Korrina [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]] Lucario, and Mabel Mega Evolving her Mawile. Korrina commands Lucario to use {{m|Power-Up Punch}}, but Mawile dodges. Lucario uses {{m|Bone Rush}} without Korrina's order, but Mawile dodges all of its attacks. Mawile uses {{m|Iron Head}} on Lucario. Lucario then loses its control due to its [[aura]]. Despire Korrina's urging, Lucario uses Power-Up Punch without any order. Mawile counters with {{m|Fairy Wind}} and Lucario faints. Korrina tends to Lucario and assures it that they will continue to hone their skills. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} have been spying on the [[twerp]]s and want to get their hands on {{AP|Pikachu}}, Mega Mawile and Mega Lucario. They decide to wait and catch them off-guard.


The next day, the heroes run off to get some more flowers. Mabel stops Korrina, advising should she have a good look at the mountain, something good will happen. Later, Korrina and Lucario gaze at the mountain, wondering what Mabel meant. They come back and arrange the flowers. Mabel praises them, but asks they come back the next day and the day after. Korrina and Lucario comply and harvest more flowers. One day, they notice some flowers at a cliff. Korrina tries to climb, but falls down, but is caught by Lucario. Lucario climbs up and Korrina navigates it. Soon, Lucario manages to get the flowers and Korrina made a bracelet out of them. Later, Serena complains she is tired from making these arrangements, but Clemont thinks she may have a plan. Korrina wonders when the special training will start, for she may never control Mega Lucario.
Despite Korrina's urge to train, Mabel asks the group to partner with their Pokémon and make flower arrangements. Clemont reveals his latest invention, the [[Clemontic Gear|Flower Arranger One]], which arranges flowers in the most artistic way possible. However, it becomes overloaded and blows up. After some time, Mabel comes in and inspects the arrangements. She states that these arrangements reflect their personalities. Mabel exclaims that Ash's and Pikachu's arrangement show their hearts are one. However, she states that Korrina and Lucario have made two separate arrangements, which shows that they have similar personalities and a deep understanding of each other. Mabel sets them the task of making a new flower arrangement for tomorrow. Korrina demands some battle training, though Mabel reminds her not to be so hasty.


Team Rocket still waits, for Meowth feels they will show some weakness soon. Mabel sees Korrina talking with Lucario, who gaze at the moon. Mabel comes and admits Korrina will be able to control Mega Lucario soon. Korrina is pleased, since she waits for the special training. Mabel reminds her this flower arrangements are the special training, showing that Korrina and Lucario both think alike and have the same goals. However, Mabel reminds her Lucario sometimes acts on its own, though the trainer should be the one giving out orders. She believes in them they will act as one, for the trainer and Pokémon have different views, but are linked to each other, as one heart, but two views. Suddenly, a window is broken and Mawile and Pikachu have been taken by Team Rocket and boarded onto the balloon.
The next day, Ash and his friends go out in search for flowers. However, Mabel tells Korrina and Lucario to go up and see the mountain views and that they might see something wonderful. The pair follow their mentor's advice, but are left bewildered in spite of the scenic view. Day after day, the group continue to make flower arrangements until Mabel can see that their hearts are one. One day, as Korrina and Lucario go out to gather flowers, Korrina spots some beautiful white flowers on top of a cliff. Lucario climbs the cliff face but then falters, almost falling. Realising that some areas of the cliff were less sturdy than others, Korrina guides Lucario through a safe path to reach the flowers.


James launches a projectile to catch Lucario, who dodges. Jessie sends Pumpkaboo, while Lucario jumps and Korrina Mega Evolves it into Mega Lucario. Mega Lucario uses Power-Up Punch, but James sends Inkay, whose Psybeam cancels the attack. Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball, which Mega Lucario dodges, but gets hit by Inkay's Psybeam. Mega Lucario is furious, seeing Team Rocket as an enemy it must destroy. Mabel tells Korrina she can change this. Mega Lucario jumps and counters Shadow Ball, but is tackled by Inkay, making Mega Lucario even more angry. Korrina, remembering Mabel's words and stops Mega Lucario. Mega Lucario bites her hand, but Korrina tells it to listen: one heart, two views. Mega Lucario and Korrina remember their past days and thinking how it managed to get the flowers from the cliff, with Korrina's help, Mega Lucario manages to calm down.
That night, Korrina wonders why Mabel has not started any training and why her grandfather recommended them come to Pomace Mountain in the first place. Mabel steps out onto the balcony to inform Korrina that Lucario should be able to controls its aura soon. She tells them the reason why Lucario uses [[move]]s on its own is because of how close and similar Korrina and Lucario are. However, while they may have one heart, they have two viewpoints, and Mabel asks them to bring their one heart and two viewpoints together.  


Pumpkaboo uses Dark Pulse, but Mega Lucario manages to stop the attack using Bone Rush. The heroes cheer for Mega Lucario, who jumps. Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball and Inkay Psybeam, but Mega Lucario counters Shadow Ball and jumps, causing Psybeam to hit Pumpkaboo. Using Bone Rush, Mega Lucario attacks Pumpkaboo, bashing it onto the balloon, causing Pikachu and Mawile to be freed. Mabel presses her Key Stone, Mega Evolving Mawile into Mega Mawile. Pumpkaboo uses Dark Pulse, but is countered and hit by Mega Mawile's Fairy Wind. Inkay uses Psybeam, but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, stopping the attack and knocking out Inkay. Mega Lucario focuses and learns Aura Sphere, which it blasts onto Team Rocket, blasting them off. Korrina is thrilled and high-fives Mega Lucario for the success.
Unexpectedly, the sound of shattering glass breaks the moment, with Team Rocket snatching Pikachu and Mawile for themselves. After their {{motto}}, [[James]] shoots a missile to trap Lucario, but Lucario dodges. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Pumpkaboo}}. Korrina Mega evolves Lucario and orders it to use Power-Up Punch. James sends out {{TP|James|Inkay}} and commands it to use {{m|Psybeam}} while Jessie has Pumpkaboo use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. These moves cause Mega Lucario to lose control again. However, as Lucario is about to launch an attack, Korrina blocks it, and Lucario bites onto Korrina's arm. Korrina asks Lucario to remember their one heart and two viewpoints. The flowers on Korrina’s wrist ring, causing Lucario to remember its friendship with Korrina. After a while, Lucario returns to its senses and hones its inner strength. As Pumpkaboo launches a {{m|Dark Pulse}}, Lucario blocks the attack with a Bone Rush. Inkay uses Psybeam and Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball, Lucario follows Korrina's orders and counters with Bone Rush. The impact of the attack frees Mawile and Pikachu. Mabel Mega evolves Mawile and commands it to use Fairy Wind. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lucario then uses {{m|Aura Sphere}}, a move it learned as a result of being able to control its aura, which sends Team Rocket blasting off.
 
The next day, Korrina thanks Mabel for the help, but Mable reminds them they need to put more work and have new goals. Ash decides they should separate from Korrina, since he has training to do to defeat Mega Lucario. Korrina rides off and bids farewell to Mabel and the heroes, who also bid farewell to Mable and set off.
The next day, the group say goodbye to Mabel and leave Pomace Mountain. Ash decides to leave Korrina and train more before he challenges the [[Shalour Gym]]. With that, Korrina roller skates off into the distance while the group continue on their own way.

Blurb

Following her grandfather's orders, Korrina has arrived on Pomace Mountain for some special training with Mabel, whose partner Mawile can Mega Evolve, and our heroes are along for the adventure. After a quick battle, Mabel suggests that everyone make flower arrangements with their Pokémon partners, much to their surprise.

This continues for several days, and while Bonnie and Dedenne are having a great time, Korrina and Lucario are getting impatient. But they soon learn that spending so much time together, exploring the beauty of the mountain and working together to make their beautiful arrangements, is exactly what they needed!

During a late-night heart-to-heart talk between Mabel and Korrina, the Team Rocket villains make their move, grabbing Pikachu and Mawile. But all that training pays off! Korrina's voice is finally able to reach Mega Lucario and calm its battle rage, and with the help of Mega Mawile, Team Rocket is sent blasting off again.

Now that Korrina can control Lucario's Mega Evolution, Ash decides he needs more training before challenging her at the Shalour Gym!

Plot

Following Gurkinn's instructions, Ash, his friends and Korrina arrive at a treehouse on Pomace Mountain. The door is opened by a Mawile, and soon its Trainer Mabel arrives and introduces herself to the group. She asks Korrina and Lucario to show her their strength in a battle.

The battle starts with Korrina Mega Evolving Lucario, and Mabel Mega Evolving her Mawile. Korrina commands Lucario to use Power-Up Punch, but Mawile dodges. Lucario uses Bone Rush without Korrina's order, but Mawile dodges all of its attacks. Mawile uses Iron Head on Lucario. Lucario then loses its control due to its aura. Despire Korrina's urging, Lucario uses Power-Up Punch without any order. Mawile counters with Fairy Wind and Lucario faints. Korrina tends to Lucario and assures it that they will continue to hone their skills. Meanwhile, Team Rocket have been spying on the twerps and want to get their hands on Pikachu, Mega Mawile and Mega Lucario. They decide to wait and catch them off-guard.

Despite Korrina's urge to train, Mabel asks the group to partner with their Pokémon and make flower arrangements. Clemont reveals his latest invention, the Flower Arranger One, which arranges flowers in the most artistic way possible. However, it becomes overloaded and blows up. After some time, Mabel comes in and inspects the arrangements. She states that these arrangements reflect their personalities. Mabel exclaims that Ash's and Pikachu's arrangement show their hearts are one. However, she states that Korrina and Lucario have made two separate arrangements, which shows that they have similar personalities and a deep understanding of each other. Mabel sets them the task of making a new flower arrangement for tomorrow. Korrina demands some battle training, though Mabel reminds her not to be so hasty.

The next day, Ash and his friends go out in search for flowers. However, Mabel tells Korrina and Lucario to go up and see the mountain views and that they might see something wonderful. The pair follow their mentor's advice, but are left bewildered in spite of the scenic view. Day after day, the group continue to make flower arrangements until Mabel can see that their hearts are one. One day, as Korrina and Lucario go out to gather flowers, Korrina spots some beautiful white flowers on top of a cliff. Lucario climbs the cliff face but then falters, almost falling. Realising that some areas of the cliff were less sturdy than others, Korrina guides Lucario through a safe path to reach the flowers.

That night, Korrina wonders why Mabel has not started any training and why her grandfather recommended them come to Pomace Mountain in the first place. Mabel steps out onto the balcony to inform Korrina that Lucario should be able to controls its aura soon. She tells them the reason why Lucario uses moves on its own is because of how close and similar Korrina and Lucario are. However, while they may have one heart, they have two viewpoints, and Mabel asks them to bring their one heart and two viewpoints together.

Unexpectedly, the sound of shattering glass breaks the moment, with Team Rocket snatching Pikachu and Mawile for themselves. After their motto, James shoots a missile to trap Lucario, but Lucario dodges. Jessie sends out Pumpkaboo. Korrina Mega evolves Lucario and orders it to use Power-Up Punch. James sends out Inkay and commands it to use Psybeam while Jessie has Pumpkaboo use Shadow Ball. These moves cause Mega Lucario to lose control again. However, as Lucario is about to launch an attack, Korrina blocks it, and Lucario bites onto Korrina's arm. Korrina asks Lucario to remember their one heart and two viewpoints. The flowers on Korrina’s wrist ring, causing Lucario to remember its friendship with Korrina. After a while, Lucario returns to its senses and hones its inner strength. As Pumpkaboo launches a Dark Pulse, Lucario blocks the attack with a Bone Rush. Inkay uses Psybeam and Pumpkaboo uses Shadow Ball, Lucario follows Korrina's orders and counters with Bone Rush. The impact of the attack frees Mawile and Pikachu. Mabel Mega evolves Mawile and commands it to use Fairy Wind. Ash commands Pikachu to use Thunderbolt. Lucario then uses Aura Sphere, a move it learned as a result of being able to control its aura, which sends Team Rocket blasting off.
