McBusted's Pokémon Adventures Part 7 - Defending the World's Beauty

Here is part seven of my fan fiction for two of my favourite boy bands McFly and Busted in their super group McBusted where they continued their tour in the world of Pokémon at the Kalos region from the Gen 6 games. They meet up with their fan Dominic and Kalos Champion Diantha in Lumoise City who taught them about Mega Evolution, only for Lumoise City to get under attack by Team Flare controlling Zygarde (referring to the Pokémon XYZ arc from the Pokémon anime). Enjoy and stay tuned for more.

 Defending the world’s beauty

 

Chapter 1: Seeing Kalos’ beauty

 Two boy bands McFly and Busted who joined forces as their supergroup McBusted continued their tour around the world of Pokémon with the Kalos region as their next destination. The boys were already admiring Kalos’ beauty. “Wow! Kalos is certainly a beautiful region!” said Danny as he looked around with admiration. “We better explore its whole beauty!” said James excitedly.

 Their tour was underway with so many misadventures and laughs along the way including their banter on tour. “Doesn’t Charlie look grumpy in his photos? He needs to cheer up doesn’t he?” said Tom to the audience, showing them a photoshoot of them. “Oh yeah? I bet you need cheering up after being kicked out of Busted after 24 hours!” retorted Charlie cheekily. “I bet people know you more for covering one of the Jonas Brothers' songs!” said Harry jokingly to Matt who came up with a comeback saying “Well you owe us one with James writing songs for you all!”

 The crowd was going nuts for their humorous banter, but they nevertheless enjoyed their combined performance, which included Danny and James singing "Beautiful Girls Are the Loneliest" on the B Stage. The audience used their phones as touches, holding them up, which made it a beautiful duet. Danny and James couldn’t help but find it dazzling and romantic.

 Their newly obtained Pokémon from the Kalos region include Greninja for Danny, Vivillon in its Pokeball Pattern for Tom (which is a very rare Vivillon pattern), Delphox for James, Goodra for Charlie, Malamar for Dougie, Chestnaught for Matt and Talonflame for Harry.

 There is one time when Danny and Tom meet up with a beauty named Nova. “I am a fan of you both! Could I have a photo?” she asked excitedly. “Sure thing!” said Danny as Nova gave Tom her Rotom phone. Tom was an expert with technology incorporated by Rotom, taking a selfie of those three, much to Nova’s delight. “Wow! I am good with this!” said Tom proudly. “Then consider this your day job” joked Danny, much to Tom’s confusion. Later on backstage, Danny saw Tom outlining a dog-shaped Pokémon on his phone. “What you’re making?” asked Danny. “Check this out, I can make it real” said Tom who put his phone down which revealed a Furfrou with a Star Trim next to Danny’s mic. “Mates, that’s amazing!” said Danny. “Considered yourself replaced” said Tom slyly. “What?” said Danny with a puzzled face.

 James has spotted a vending machine with some Poke Poffins. “My Pokémon will love them!” said James who selected a Poke Poffin but his hand got stuck in the dispenser door. “First the cakes. And now this” ranted Matt who helped James to get his hand out.

 At the hotel, Dougie heard a voice that said “Are you the one?” Dougie turned to where the voice was coming from and found a Hex Maniac next to the elevator and said “No, you’re not the one” said left. Dougie was confused with the whole thing. Meanwhile, Charlie was looking for the key that he used to lock his guitar case. He found it but a Klefki, a Pokémon who likes to collect keys had it on its loop. “Hey! Give it back!” cried Charlie but Klefki rattled its keys which started him. Gardevoir helped to get it back using her telekinesis and repelled it away using Hyper Voice. Charlie thanked her for this.

 One time while they were in Lumoise City, Harry and Gallade got lost while making his way to the hotel. “How can anyone get around this city? It’s so big!” he cried. He considered getting a taxi but he decided to let Gallade teleport him to the others. “Least it’s beats walking or paying for a taxi any day” he said.

Before their show at Lumiose City, they meet up with their fan Dominic and Kalos actress and champion Diantha. Dominic is a friend of Diantha who arranged a visit to teach them about the mysterious art of Mega Evolution, a phenomenon that they have first seen in the Hoenn region and they wanted to learn more about it. They were with their Psychic-type Pokémon Alakazam and Gardevoir (this one is a normal colouration compared to Busted’s Gardevoir but just as elegant).

 “Hey Dominic! Nice to meet you again!” cheered Danny as he hugged Dominic tightly. “Always a pleasure to see you all and your shows” said Dominic so warmly. He was also amazed with their Gallade and Gardevoir having to fully evolve. “They been a big help to us back in Unova” said Charlie.

 They all shake hands with Diantha. “I’ve been a huge fan of your movies Diantha! You and your Gardevoir’s performance for My Sweet Lady are so elegant!” said Tom who is star-struck. “I’ve been watching you and your Hawlucha in Hawlucha Libre six times!” said James excitedly. “A pleasure to meet you though your Halloween movie with your Gourgiest has made me sleep with the light on for weeks” said Dougie. “Well it’s my pleasure to meet fans of mine” said Diantha with a warm smile.

 Afterwards, Diantha told them about Mega Evolution which is a special type of evolution with only a certain number of Pokémon having access to it, made possible with a keystone, the matching Mega Stone and the bond and trust they have with their Pokémon. “Mega Evolution sounds incredible!” said Matt with interest. “Bet we can Mega Evolve” said Danny jokingly. Dominic and Diantha smiled with amusement with former saying “Your Gallade and Gardevoir are among the few Pokémon that can Mega Evolve as you have seen with Gallade back in Hoenn, My Alakazam can Mega Evolve as well” said Dominic. Gallade was thrilled that he could finally have the possibility of Mega Evolving. “Dominic and I thought we could show you Mega Evolution with a quick battle with our Pokémon” said Diantha. “Certainly, I like to see it!” said Harry. Gardevoir was eager to see what her Mega Evolution looks like.

 But before they could start their battle, enormous roots started to appear in Lumoise City, much to everyone’s surprise. “Hey what’s going on?!” exclaimed Matt as the citizens were running and screaming in panic. “Something is overgrowing or what?!” cried Harry as they made their escape out of the way from the roots.

 They then saw a screen that showed The Leader of Team Flare Lysandre making an announcement. He is shown along with his grunts. “People of Kalos, today marks the beginning of a new world, saving the old one from chaos and ruin!” said Lysandre who then showed the footage of the Pokémon that they are using to summon the roots throughout Lumoise City; The Order Pokémon known as Zygarde in its Complete Form which resembled a huge behemoth. “This is Zygarde who is angry that we humans have disrupted the world’s order. Because of our overpopulation, we forgot how to share but with Zygarde’s help, we shall cleanse this region and create a world of beauty and perfection. Only the chosen ones shall remain in this new world”

 Everyone was horrified with Team Flare’s dark ambition to use Zygarde to destroy their beautiful world. “We can’t let them destroy the beauty of our world. Sure it may not be perfect but it has my loved ones and fans sharing this world” said Danny. “Yeah, we can’t let that madman take away our world!” said James. “Everyone, please help me to free Zygarde and stop Team Flare while I work on evacuating the citizens along the way!” said Diantha. “Of course, we’ll give those fashion freaks what for; for interrupting our show!” said Dougie. “And I shall help alongside you all too!” said Dominic. The McBusted boys welcomed his alliance once again.

 Chapter 2: A Fiery battle

 The McBusted boys put their concert to one side and teamed up with Diantha and Dominic to fight Team Flare while rescuing any citizens from the vines. Team Flare consists of wealthy trainers with powerful Pokémon which makes them believe that they’re the chosen ones to live in their new world.

  “Greninja, let’s go!” Danny called out as his ninja frog-like Pokémon leapt into action with incredible speed, firing its Water Shuriken towards the vines that were about to attack the citizens and the Team Flare Grunt’s Mienshaos. Its ability Protein changed its type based on the move it was using, allowing it to adapt to any situation. Danny then went over to the citizens and gently asked “Are you alright?” They nodded, grateful for his rescue. 

 Just then, Danny and his Greninja were about to get attacked by a Grunt’s Ferrothorn, flashing its Power Whip at them but Charlie arrived just in time for his slimy Dragon type Goodra to take the attack, using its ability Sap Sapper before firing it’s Fire Blast at it. “Thanks Charlie! I can learn a lot from you as the Front Man” said Danny who returned the favour by commanding his Greninja to fire its Dark Pulse at a vine that was about to hit Charlie. “It’s good to woork with a fellow Front Man like yourself” replied Charlie as they gazed at each other with admiration. Afterwards, they escorted the citizens towards Diantha.

 “Come on Talonflame! We’ll make them pay for harming our fans!” called Harry as his fiery falcon Talonflame used its impressive speed to cut through the vines that were about to attack the citizens using Brave Bird. However, several of Team Flare’s Skarmorys stopped in its tracks with their defensives. But Tom’s butterfly-like Pokémon Vivillon flew by and scattered its Sleep Power to put them to sleep. It then used its Hurricane to blow them away along with the vines, using its ability Compound Eyes to make sure that every attack hit its mark.

 “Well Tom, that was a good strategy of you” said Harry respectfully with his Talonflame finishing off the remaining Skarmorys with its Flare Blitz. “It’s about making the best use of a Pokémon’s moves and abilities” said Tom. Harry admired Tom’s cool and collected demeanour while Tom respected Harry’s competitive streak that inspired him to improve himself.

 Dougie and James were outnumbered by Team Flare’s Heatmors and Durants just after they rescued the citizens from the vines. Luckily, Matt came by and commanded his hedgehog knight which resembles a chestnut Chestnaught to protect them from the attacks using Spiky Shield. “I’m right with you guys!” said Matt as he looked at them with reassurance. “Hooray for Matt!” cheered Dougie, admiring his bravery. “I owe you one Matt, just like when you helped me with the vending machine” said James though he was truly grateful for his help.

 Dougie followed up the attack with his devious squid like- Pokémon Malamar charging into them using Super Power with the Grunts ordering their Heatmors and Durants to stop their tracks using Fire Lash and Screech, intending to lower its stats but it instead raises its stats with its ability Contrary, slamming its Super Power on them while also rising its Attack and Defence (again via Contrary which would have otherwise lower it). James’ mage-like fox Delphox finished them off using Psyshock on the Heatmors, Fire Blast on the Durants.

 Dominic helped them all out using his PSI Fox-like- Pokémon Alakazam, using powerful moves including Psychic and Focus Blast to take out any of the Grunt’s Pokémon who tried to attack the McBusted’s boys. It also has the ability Magic Guard to protect it from any indirect damage including from the Poison caused by their Dragalges using Toxic Spikes which was helpful for it to get across the Toxic pool for it to reach Danny and Dougie to back them up as they were confronted by the Grunt’s Clawitzers. “Thanks for the help Dominic!” said Danny who protected him from the vines in return with his Greninja firing its Water Shuriken. “But are you going to Mega Evolve your Alakazam?” asked Dougie. “The key to Mega Evolving is to use it as the right place at the right time” answered Dominic who planned to save Mega Evolving for later.

 Diantha helped the police to escort the citizens to safety although as the Kalos champion, she held her own with her Gardevoir on her side, taking out the Team Flare Grunt’s Pokémon with powerful moves including Psyshock and Aura Sphere. Like with Dominic, she planned to reserve Mega Evolving her Gardevoir for the battle against Lysandre. She also uses her Hawlucha (ambushing its foes using its swift movements that mirror a luchador fighter) and Gourgiest (using supporting moves such as Will-o-Wisp and Leech Seed to weaken its opponents) as backup. “A fine opportunity to see a movie star in action!” said James with fascination just after he led the citizens to her. “That’s fine and all but bet she can’t compete with my acting in Nowhere Left to Run or Just My Luck” boasted Harry jokingly.  “I think we’ll be way out of her league obviously” said Tom.

 Throughout the battle, there was a tall man who was watching while hiding from Team Flare.

 As the battle raged on, McFly’s Gallade and Busted’s Garedvoir alerted the boys via their telepathic powers that there was a young girl and her Espurr caught in the crossfire. Without hesitation, they rushed to her aid with their Gallade and Gardevoir helping to fight against Team Grunt’s Pokémon, using their Psyblade and Lumina Crash (with Dominic backing them up).

  “Are you okay?” Danny asked with his voice full of concern. The girl nodded with her fear turning into gratitude. “Thanks for saving us. I’m Emma and this Espurr is mine is called Mimi” said the girl. “Stick with us and we’ll get you out of here safely” said Matt. But Emma insisted on helping them as inspired by their bravery. “We want to help you to take out these bad guys!” said Emma. She demonstrated Mimi’s powers who used Psychic to take out the Grunt’s Throh and Sawk. “Wow! You sure pack a punch! Ok, you can join us as long as you stay with us” said Charlie with astonishment. “Um, this Espurr is staring at me” said Dougie while looking at Mimi.

Lysandre was also watching the McBusted boys and the others battling his Team Flare grunts, impressed that they were able to defeat them despite their numbers and power. This makes Lysandre consider that they would be the suitable candiatates as the chosen ones for his new world. Lysandre also noticed their bright passion including for their music, helping others including Pokémon and working side by side one another. This reminded him of himself back when he helped out other people in time of need. He couldn't help but to have some sorrow yet he remained focus with his plan. 

 With Emma by their side, the McBusted boys, Dominic and Diantha fought their way through Team Flare’s forces which eventually led them to the top of Lumiose Tower where Lysandre and Zygarde were located.

 “I was watching you all battling my grunts and I must say that I am impressed. Are you all from McFly and Busted? It’ll be an honour for you all to join our new world. Your powers and music are welcome in our beautiful new world that’ll fix this ugly world” said Lysandre. Naturally, they all refused his offer. “Never! We love our world where we get to be with the people we love and the fans who are inspired by us!” declared Tom. “Yeah, destroying the world instead of dealing with its problems is for cowards!” argued James.

 “It seems that you all don’t understand. What’s the point of fixing the world with fools that’ll only taint it or a tomorrow that’ll only be worse than today?” asked Lysandre. “Of course, the world has its problems but we want to protect it for the sake of people’s tomorrows that'll give them a chance for them to start a journey, heal their wounds, work on their dreams and be with their loved ones. We shall fight for their tomorrows!” answered Dominic. “This is what I truly believe and you have no right to take away their tomorrows!” added Diantha who was inspired by their speech throughout.

Lysandre somberly gazed at them for a minute as if their retort has hit him. Deep down, maybe they were right but he can't turn back now. “...Suit yourself, none of you will be needed for my new world. Your words will be meaningless once I obliterate you all!” said Lysandre who sent out his Gyarados (a shiny one just like the one they had fought in Johto) and Pyroar to fight.

 Chapter 3- The Ultimate Weapon

Diantha and Dominic knew that it’d be the right time to Mega Evolve their Garedvoir and Alakazam. The McBusted boys were amazed to see their Mega Evolutions. Busted’s Gardevoir looked at her Mega Evolution with fascination. But they weren’t the only ones to Mega Evolve with Lysandre Mega Evolving his Gyarados.

 They split themselves to deal with each of Lysandre’s Pokémon. The Fire-type Lion fired powerful moves from a distance including Fire Blast and Hyper Voice but the McBusted boys used their Pokémon’s ranged attacks to counter these moves including Greninja’s Water Shuriken, Delphox’s Psyshock and Gardevoir’s Moonblast. This gives a chance for Talonflame and Malamar to get closer to Pyroar at close range using their Close Combat, Brave Bird and Super Power. Pyroar was about to stop their tracks using Dark Pulse but Mega Alakazam fired its Focus Blast to intercept the move for the other Pokémon’s attacks to land on Pyroar successfully.

 Mega Gyarados prefer to fight in close range; ramming its foes using Waterfall or taking a bite out of them using Crunch. Chestnaught stops its tracks using Drain Punch, giving Vivillon, Goodra and Gallade to attack it using Bug Buzz, Draco Meteor and Close Combat. Mega Gyarados however quickly reacted by firing its Stone Edge towards them but Mega Gardevoir used Hyper Voice to shatter the rocks that were heading towards them just in time before they hit their Pokémon.

 Pyroar and Mega Gyarados weren’t down just yet with Mega Gyarados firing its Stone Edge once again with Pyroar using its Fire Blast that surrounded the incoming rocks, turning them into fireballs as ordered by Lysandre. “Now I see why they’re called Team Flare” said Dougie dryly with their Pokémon taking a huge hit from the fireballs and their moves that were fired at the fireballs were burnt off. However, Mega Alakazam and Mega Gardevoir used their Psychic to toss the fireballs right back at Pyroar and Mega Gyarados. “Now that’s an incredible payback!” cheered Danny as they used this chance for their Pokémon to attack while they were down. “This truly shows our bond with our Pokémon Mega Evolved” said Dominic. “I say it’s like improvising on stage” said Diantha. “That’s something that I should come up with the next time I act” said Matt. “Same with me for my musicals!” said Tom.  “Don’t forget mine!” said James.

 However, Lysandre used Zygarde to fire its Thousand Arrows at their Pokémon. “Hey what?!” cried Harry as their Pokémon have taken heavy damage. “Are you all alright?!” cried Charlie who ran to his Goodra. “Fight for your precious world all you want but none of you can stop Zygarde’s wrath!” boasted Lysandre.

 Gallade and Gardevoir sensed that Zygarde was controlled by the energy that was coming from a huge weapon that resembled a flower. It’s known as the Ultimate Weapon. They forewarn this to The McBusted boys. This gave them an idea. They turned to Emma with James saying “Go to that Ultimate Weapon and find a way to cut off its power from Zygarde.” “We believe that it’s how Lysandre is controlling it. Be a hero while we buy some time” said Tom. “You can count on me and Mimi!” said Emma as they allowed Gallade and Gardevoir to safely escort her to the Ultimate Weapon.

 Zygarde was a tough opponent with powerful moves including Thousand Arrows that hit Flying type Pokémon as shown with Vivillon and Talonflame (much to Tom and Harry’s surprise) and Greninja couldn’t dodge the incoming attack with its speed, Thousand Waves which prevented their Pokémon from switching out, Land’s Wrath and Core Enforcer which hits multiple Pokémon hard, even bulky Pokémon including Goodra and Chestnaught who tried to block the moves with Spiky Shield took a huge hit. Not even Mega Alakazam and Mega Gardevoir had an easy time against Zygarde.

 “Well this is getting shaky” said Matt nervously who is full of awe at Zygarde’s power. “Stay strong everyone; we can’t afford to lose here” said Charlie trying to keep calm. 

Lysandre paused for a moment and said "I must say that I am impressed that you all have lasted this long with all this burning passion of yours but that won't be enough to stop me from making my beautiful world. Surly you all must know that there is no point of making this current world better with all the ugliness caused by overpopulation which makes my contribution meaingless?" 

Dominic and the others figured that Lysandre have lost his way at some point but they cannot agree with him. "I get that fighting for the world may not be easy but we don’t give up!” answered Dominic bravely. "Sure there maybe some ugliness in this world but we can still find some beauty or make some beauty, just like with our music that reunite others as we have seen with our fans" said Danny backing him up. "I am no expert but together, we can make the world beautiful by reuniting each other to solve our world's problems. It's what I believe in" said Charlie assertively. 

Lysandre once again looked at them in awe, acknowleding that he may have the power and ambition but they have the optimism and hope that could give them the power to beat him. Still, he can't back down now. "I admit, you all have once again have some powerful worlds but they won't mean anything when I defeat you all!" said Lysandre, continuing the fight. 

“Let’s mix things up to show him what for!” suggested Tom. “Right, I’m with you!” said Danny as they all worked together to fight against Zygarde’s moves.

 Mega Alakazam used Psychic on the Thousand Arrows, sending them right back which gives Greninja and Malamar a chance to fire their Water Shuriken and Psycho Cut. Chestnaught slammed its Wood Hammer on the earth the moment when Zygarde used its Land’s Wrath which helped to slow down the attack, allowing Goodra to attack with Draco Meteor. Delphox and Villvion used their Fire Blast and Hurricane to intercept Thousand Wave and Mega Gardevoir used Hyper Voice to fight against Core Enforcer which was followed by Talonflame charging in with Brave Bird.

 “Now that was a blast!” cheered Harry as he witnessed their teamwork combination. “It’s like giving out a stunning performance for my movies” said Diantha. “I agree, just like for our shows!” said Danny. “Or for my magical tricks” said Dominic. Zygarde was still a tough opponent as it unleashed its Thousand Arrows once again but everyone still held their ground.

 At the same time, Emma found the control panel on The Ultimate Weapon that was converting its powers onto Zygarde which allowed Lysandre to control it while Gallade and Gardevoir were protecting her from Pyroar and Mega Gyarados who followed them but both were defeated by Gallade’s Close Combat and Gardevoir’s Moonblast. This helped Emma’s Mini to buy enough time to disconnect the Ultimate Weapon from Zygarde, freeing it from its control by using its psychic powers.

 Zygarde has stopped attacking and turned towards Lysandre and The Ultimate Weapon. “Alright! It worked!” cheered Matt. “Let them have it!” said Danny as they witnessed  Zygarde destroy The Ultimate Weapon using Core Enforcer with Emma, Gallade and Gardevoir getting out of the way in time. 

Lysandre stood there in shock having to be defeated and The Ultimate Weapon shattering before his eyes. Once he came round, he turned to the McBusted boys and said with sorrow "So it seems that your idea of a beautiful world is what bested me. I guess that deep down, I knew that turning my back on humanlity has made me weak all along." 

Even after everything he has done, the McBusted boys and the others can sense some good in him. "You may not be completely wrong Lysandre but there is still a lot of beauty in this world for which we must strive to protect. Why, even there's some beauty in you" said Dominic gently. "Yeah, it maybe tough but I believe that it's never too late to make things better in this world" said Matt. "That's right, espsically if we work together to understand one another more. After all, we all live in the same beauitful world that we must cherish" said Harry. Lysandre gave a small smile, inspired by their kindness and optimism which he realised that it's what the world need more of. He allowed himself to be taken to the police to think things over. 

“What? This can’t be! My plans are perfect!” cried Lysandre as The Ultimate Weapon was shattered before his eyes. “You did great Emma” said Harry thanking her. “We owe you a lot” said Dominic. “We’re glad to help” replied Emma. “How would you like to come to our show as our way of thanking you?” asked Charlie. Emma was thrilled. “I would like that!” she said excitedly. Afterwards,  the rest of Team Flare was arrested and Zygarde separated itself as its core cells though one of the cells followed Lysandre as he was taken away. 

 Chapter 4: A Song that reunites

Having to save Kalos, the concert in Lumiose City went on as planned but they had a visit from the tall man who witnessed their battle; AZ. He was the former king of Kalos and the original creator of The Ultimate Weapon using life energy from Pokémon whose lives were lost during the war that took place in Kalos long ago.  It used to bring back his partner Pokémon Floette to life after it was killed during the said war.

 However, because AZ was still enraged with the war that took away his Floette, he turned the machine into a weapon that destroyed both sides of the conflict which ended the war. Having to be saddened by his actions, his Floette left him, leaving AZ to wander with guilt in his heart for 3000 years having to become immortal due to his exposure to the Ultimate Weapon, unable to move on from the guilt and pain in his heart.

 The McBusted boys felt sorry to hear about AZ’s tragic story. “I thank you brave warriors for stopping the Ultimate Weapon from being used once again. Can I ask you all a request? Could I have a Pokémon battle? I think it’ll help me to remind me what is a trainer?” asked AZ. “Why of course, we’ll be happy to help” said Danny. “I know, how about you battle during our performance for a song we have written about Mega Evolution?” suggested James. AZ accepted that offer and Dominic volunteered to battle him on their behalf, borrowing their Gallade and Gadevoir.

 “Tonight’s song is dedicated to everyone who fought to protect Kalos and the power of Mega Evolution!” called Tom. “And please welcome on Stage Dominic and AZ!” said Charlie.

 While The McBusted boys performed their new song ‘The Beauty of Kalos’ Dominic used his Alakazam alongside Gallade and Gardevoir against AZ’s Torkoal, Golurk and Sigilyph. AZ is shown to hold his own including making use of Torkoal’s ability Drought which made its Fire-type moves stronger with the Sun but Dominic was able to be a tough opponent as he Mega Evolved his Alakazam (which is fitting for their song) and make full use of Gallade and Gardevoirs’ psychic abilities who placed their trust in him.

 The crowds resonated with the song that emphasised Kalos’ beauty and Mega Evolution’s power that comes from connection and the accelerating battle that blends in with the song filled the stage with energy.

 “So what do you think?” asked Diantha who is with Emma as part of the audience. “It’s so magnificent” said Emma who was amazement throughout.  The crowd were cheering for them as the song ended and Dominic was victorious. For the first time in centuries, AZ made a smile. “I have found peace. For that, I thank you”

 Then, as if on cue, there was something small that descended from the sky towards AZ. It was his long-lost friend Floette. “...Floette...It’s been 3,000 years” said AZ who was filled with so much emotion, having to be reunited with his beloved Pokémon and collapsing to his knee. The McBusted boys were moved by the emotional reunion, as with Dominic and the crowd watching in awe. They weren’t sure if it was the power of their voices, AZ freeing the pain from his heart or both. But it didn’t matter as they were happy for him. “I’m so happy that I could cry” said Dougie tearfully.

 After the show, the McBusted boys were watching the fireworks at Lumoise City, celebrating their victory. “I’ve seen so many fireworks but I’ll never forget these fireworks because I’m watching with all of you” said Harry. “I’m so glad that went touring with all of you. I meet so many great people and Pokémon, visit many people and make many wonderful memories” said Matt happily. They were all holding their hands tightly.

 Once the fireworks were over, it was time for them to depart. But not before Diantha and Dominic have given them parting gifts. “I believe that you all have the bond and trust to Mega Evolve your Pokémon” said Diantha, giving them Key Stones. “And I have found the Mega Stones you need since we last met” said Dominic who handed over Galladite and Gardevorite. “Thanks! Now we can use Mega Evolution!” said Danny excitedly. “Looking forward to the day when the time comes to take evolution to the next level” said James. Gallade and Gardevoir were thrilled to have access to their Mega Evolutions but only for the right place at the right time.

 For now, they have bid farewell to their friends with Dominic saying that he’ll be seeing them again soon. The McBusted boys certainly won’t forget this tour with the beautiful memories they have made and the accomplishments that they have achieved.
