"Seems his powers were striped from him completely." Fluttershy said. "I was only expecting it to be just Lord Tirek. I was not expecting the Mawile." Discord said. "But Discord's capable of breaking reality. Just how on earth can Marina be able to overpower the lord of bucking chaos!?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Rainbow! Laungauge!" Rarity said. "She's got a point though." Applejack said. "I barely know what hit me myself. She was capable of summoning these like, ghost jaws out of nowhere..." Discord said. "Ghost jaws? That's not possible." Raiden said. "You Pokemon are capable of doing all sorts of things. So how in Equestria is Marina being able to summon ghost jaws impossible?" Rainbow Dash asked. "And another very solid point from Rainbow Dash." Applejack said. "I play a lot of video games." Rainbow Dash said. "Because Mawile don't have that kind of capabilities to begin with. Trust me, that sort of thing is usually reserved for Ghost Types." Raiden said. "Raiden, did you forget? Mawile are part Fairy Types." Lightning Said. "Oh I haven't forgotten. But have you ever seen a fairy type summon ghost jaws out of nowhere?" Raiden asked. "I guess I should be more specific: That Marina as you call her, the ghost jaws she summoned, looked like that strange iron jaw she usually lugs behind her." Discord said. "Not sure what it's called." "...Okay, yeah, now even that is beyond a Fairy Type, let alone any ordinary Ghost Type. We're talking something on the same power scale as a Dragonite or a Tyranitar now." Lightning said. "I'm afraid this information conflicts with my own data." Deca said. "Sometimes, I forget we still have a walking talking computer program." Raiden said. "Deca is much more then some computer program." Fluttershy said. "Deca's not wrong. There was something...strange about the strange orb she wears on her neck." Discord said. "When I still had my magic, I could sense something...inside of it. I just was unable to tell what exactly." "Orb? How was some one; Pokemon or otherwise; able to put an orb around their neck?" Sunset asked. "Wait, tell me more about this orb you saw. Was it small? Did it have the colors of a Mawile maybe?" Lightning asked. "Now that you mentioned it yeah. It was pretty small, and it did look like it had the colors of a Mawile." Discord said. "...So there ARE still some of those around." Lightning said. "You know something about that, bud?" Raiden asked. "It's something father told me about. When humans still existed, they would use these strange things to make Pokemon transform. Some made Pokemon became super sized. Others made Pokemon perform some sort of crazy super move. But the most notable one were these small objects that contained the colors of specific Pokemon. These objects were actually created long ago when a human known as AZ ended a huge Pokemon Civil War by firing The Ultimate Weapon. The resulting Pokemon Deaths and the energy that caused those deaths, had the remaining life energy of those Pokemon turn into small little orbs that gained the colors of the Pokemon it was created from." Lightning said. "So, Marina has essentially the essense of a dead Pokemon on her neck. Yeah, that's not creepy at all. Obvious sarcasm is obvious." Rainbow Dash said. "Even still, some humans were able to take advantage of those stones by creating what they call Key Stones. These Key Stones allowed a Human and a Pokemon holding those orbs; known as Mega Stones; to allow the Pokemon to undergo Mega Evolution. It's not really evolution though, since it's just more transformation. But Mega Evolution makes Pokemon change into brand new forms." Lightning said. "With Diancie being the only exception to having a Pokemon of it's past die out from the Ultimate Weapon of course. At least, from what I've observed and catergorized." Deca said. "Right. Diancie is a special case. But, with every other Mega Evolution, the Mega Stone would make a pokemon much stronger, and sometimes gives them either new types, new abilities, or even both." Lightning said. "Of course, I'm guessing that's why Awakening Seeds do that sort of job now, since Humans no longer exist." Raiden said. "Yeah. Arceus created those. Plus, every Pokemon can use those. But not every Pokemon will go Mega when they injest one." Lightning said. "Still, I thought for sure there would be none of those Mega Stones left by now. Arceus has had several Pokemon; who are called Arceus' Bishops; go around and destroying the Mega Stones since them laying around would be dangerous." "So, your saying we should find a way to remove that Mega Stone from Marina so she can't go Mega?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Yeah. And so we can destroy it. It'd be doing the entire world a favor getting rid of it. Plus, that's one less Mega Stone Arceus' Bishops have to worry about." Lightning said. "I wonder who gave her such a thing to begin with though." Sunset said. She had some suspecions, but nothing concrete. "Does it really matter where she got it? All that matters is that we take it and break it." Rainbow Dash said.
