Plot
Landing in Hoenn, Alain and Mairin walk down a foggy mountain. The duo encounter Steven Stone, whom Alain challenges in a Mega-Evolution battle. Stone accepts, taking out his Metagross. The two Mega-Evolve their Pokemon, and fight a worthy battle. While Mega Metagross and Charizard X are about to finish each other off, a Pyroar unleashes a flamethrower and interrupts the two. That Pokemon belonged to Lysandre, a businessman who owns a lab in the Kalos region. He is revealed to be Alain's boss, and Alain tries to shut Mairin out of his affairs. In a flashback, Alain contacted Professor Sycamore about Charmander's evolution to Charmeleon. He was finding a Charizardite in some ruins and encounters Lysandre, who proposes him a deal. A Charizardite in exchange for his help. Before leaving, he tells Alain that he has to be the strongest. Back in the present, Alain and Mairin follow Lysandre and Stone up Mt. Pyre.
Stone reveals that he traveled in search of stones as he was interested in Mega-Evolution. He and Lysandre show to each other two different wooden tablets. One half shows the location of the gate and the other half shows the way to open it: a Mega Stone. Both trainers took one pillar, revealing a stairway that leads to the mountain. At the top, they find some ruins in search of the Giant Rock. Stone and Alain find two dayes and activate them, revealing a crystal.
The group finally found the Giant Rock. Lysandre talks in his communicator, and a helicopter flies in. A science team starts researching the power of the Giant Rock, and in the process the sky turns dark, and Rayquaza appears. A sudden glow engulfs him, and he mega-evolves into Mega-Raquaza, awakening Groudon and Kyogre. Mega-Raquaza is in a rage, destroying everything in his path. Alain and Stone take out and Mega-Evolve their Charizard and Metagross. Charizard X fails to use Flamethrower against Rayquaza, and Metagross fails to attack as well, and Rayquaza counters with Draco Meteor. He then flies away. The ruins are destroyed, Alain is injured, and the Giant Rock is gone. With Rayquaza on the lose, Lysandre instructs Alain and Mairin to head to Rustboro City and investigate there, with Stone tagging along. In secret, he instructs Alain to stay close to the Champion, as his knowledge is useful.

Trivia
Errors
- Both times when Steven called out his Shiny Metagross, it didn't sparkle when it came out of its Poké Ball.
- When Mega Metagross's Flash Cannon lowered Mega Charizard X's Special Defense, Steven said it lowered Mega Charizard X's stamina. In the dub, this was changed to endurance.
- In the flashback where Lysandre gave Alain the Mega Ring and Charizardite X, he refers to the latter as simply Charizardite.
