Tower of Mastery
Jessica nodded affirmatively. "Yup!"
Gurkinn offered a much more passive "Mmhm..." in a rather thoughtful tone. Jessica fell silent in anticipation of an explanation and was not disappointed. "Mega Evolution is a technique of transforming your pokemon beyond their normal limitations using the power of an intense bond. It is here in this tower that my granddaughter and I study this, perfecting it and teaching the occasional trainer brave enough to put their bond with their pokemon to the test." he explained calmly from his sitting position.
Jessica looked down at Morgan and quirked a brow speculatively as if asking her if she was interested non-verbally.

Valorie yawned and raised her head from her arms... Arms! She had arms! This was excellent! Unfortunately she was also halfway wedged underneath Sparkers. The tiny girl peered up at the sleeping dog mon. She immediately dismissed the notion of freeing herself without his help; he was far too heavy for her to lift with both her arms, let alone one. She then dismissed the notion of waking him. Hadn't her mom said something about letting sleeping dogs lie? She didn't believe Sparkers would hurt her, but she also didn't want to be a butt and provoke him anyway.
Valorie quietly resigned herself to resting in for a bit. Why was she dehydrated..?

Sparkers lets out a yawn and awakens.
<Good to see you back to your old self.>
He carefully gets up so that Val can get up.
<I'm really sorry about last night.>
Shalour
Roxie is idly walking around when she bumps into a certain blonde photographer.
"Smile! -flash!-"
"GAAAH! My eyes! I can't see. Penti, anyone, halp!"
Roxie stumbles around blindly while Tesse just facepalms.
GIVE ME YOUR FACEShalour City
Valorie totally crawls her way out from underneath Sparkers, getting to her feet and turning to face him. She wobbles slightly, a tad unsteady on her feet. "It—It's alright... It's not your fault." she replied, declining to comment on the whole putting her to bed thing.

-Morgan puzzles over this revelation.- It sounds impossible...which with my track record lately means it's probably true.
-Her look of skepticism turns to something more determined. A hero would surely not pass up an opportunity to gain new evil-fighting power. The J-Team were certainly taking advantage of this Mega Evolution thing. And if they didn't, the Illusion group would.-
So...how does it work?
Tower of Mastery
"First and most importantly, you must have a very strong bond with your pokemon. This is the fuel for the transformation and without it your efforts will be hopeless." Gurkinn began lecturing quietly, in a matter-o-fact tone. He seemed to be warning them, as if concerned Silver someone of less than admirable training strategies would seek out mega evolution as a means to gain cheap strength.
"...It is then that you must seek out the keystone and the mega stone for the pokemon you wish to mega evolve. A keystone is simple; we have several hear that I would be glad to give to you if you can demonstrate a mastery of mega evolution. My granddaughter sometimes picks them up. Mega stones... are more complicated. Each stone is specific to one pokemon, and they are all quite rare." he explained.

I don't think even the Tower of Mastery should have much on hand, if any. And Mega Stones, as a whole, I don't think are quite that rare. They might have some of those at the Tower, though I don't know.

Valorie nodded, smiling up at Sparkers cheerily. She figured at least he didn't mind if she totally smelled like dog right about now.
"I spend a large portion of every day training to keep my pokemon in tip top shape!" she explained proudly. "If... you wanted to you could help me with that." she offered, slightly sheepish about the whole training alongside pokemon instead of training them thing.

Valorie hesitated a moment at the unexpected request. "Y'mean like... with battles and stuff?" she asked, slightly dumbfouned on how to react.

Jessica nodded. "'Course! I reckon' we've got all the time n' the world. Are ya' sure y'wanna put the work in to make this happen?" she asked. "It's prolly hard work!" she added, seeking confirmation that the other wished to commit to this.
