Chapter 1089: Gurkinn and Lucario While waiting for news from Malva, Yuga kept a close watch on the activity at the Lysandre Labs, but the people there rarely left the facility, leaving him with little useful information.
Two days later, Yuga met Bruno again.
Bruno had brought information from Malva, just as he had before. He spoke little and left immediately after handing Yuga what he had.
Malva had given Bruno a slip of paper to pass to Yuga, on which was written a location—one that marked a secret base of Team Flare.
The location was in Geosenge Town. However, Malva did not know the exact whereabouts of the secret base there; she only had a general area, and the rest would be up to Yuga to investigate after his arrival.
Upon receiving the note, Yuga immediately prepared to depart for Geosenge Town. Before leaving, he asked Malva to help monitor and restrict Essentia's movements to prevent her from causing too much trouble.
However, what Yuga didn't know was that as soon as he left, Malva revealed information about Essentia to Looker, which finally led him to find the long-lost Emma he had been desperately
The Tower of Mastery was an imposing, multi-layered structure resembling a palace. Upon entering the grand hall, the first thing that caught Yuga's eye was a massive statue of a Mega Lucario.
As Gurkinn guided them through the tower, he shared the history of the Shalour Gym. Professor Sycamore, of course, was most interested in the stories about Mega Evolution.
Unfortunately, as legends go, there wasn't much useful information to glean from them.
By evening, the tour of the Tower of Mastery had come to an end. Professor Sycamore then asked Gurkinn, "Mr. Gurkinn, could you have your Mega Lucario battle with my friend?"
"It's possible, but..." Gurkinn trailed off, eyeing Yuga, who was wearing a hat and sunglasses, as if wanting to say more but holding back.
Professor Sycamore immediately understood and reassured Gurkinn, "Don't worry, my friend is very strong, so please go all out!"
Gurkinn was surprised to hear this and glanced again at Yuga, thinking that Yuga seemed quite young but apparently had significant strength.
"Come with me," Gurkinn said as he led Yuga and Professor Sycamore to the gym's battle arena.
"Let's begin."
Both stood at opposite ends of the battlefield, and Gurkinn sent out his Lucario. Embedded in Lucario's glove was a bright Mega Evolution stone.

...
No wonder Professor Sycamore had warned me to be careful! Yuga thought to himself after checking Lucario's stats. Gurkinn was indeed formidable, as expected from someone who stayed out of the limelight yet possessed such incredible strength.
Lucario...so cool! Yuga couldn't help but admire Lucario's elegance. He wondered if he could trade one of his Meditite or Medicham for a Riolu or Lucario from Gurkinn. Two Pokémon for one, or even three for one, would be worth it.
Yuga was genuinely eager to have Gurkinn's Lucario.
Since Shalour Gym specialized in Fighting-types, Gurkinn might also appreciate Meditite and Medicham, right?
Using a Ralts or Gallade to trade for Lucario would make more sense, but Yuga only had a few Gallade in his Ecopark and couldn't bear to part with them.
Psychic and Fighting-type Meditite and Medicham were also rare. While they weren't quite on par with Riolu or Lucario, offering two or three of them in exchange seemed fair.
I'll ask Professor Sycamore to help me with that later, Yuga thought.
After Gurkinn sent out Lucario, Yuga summoned his own Venusaur.
Seeing Yuga use Venusaur instead of Gengar, Professor Sycamore was quite surprised. He hadn't expected Yuga to have a Venusaur Mega Evolution Stone as well, which was an unexpected delight.
Thinking this, Sycamore started snapping pictures of Venusaur with his camera.
"Lucario, Mega Evolve!"
"Venusaur, Mega Evolve!"
As both were ready, Yuga and Gurkinn's voices echoed across the battlefield at the same time.
