Misty mentioned a key stone as they walked. Alice frowned. She knew about key stones... They had been first discovered in Kalos and could be used to mega evolve Pokemon. If that man had Misty's keystone then they were in huge trouble...

A running grunt mentioned the name Dredd. Something in Misty seemed to break. "Max?" Alice whispered, it couldn't be! But Misty seemed to believe it was. She left in a hurry to make a call. Alice refused to believe this was anything to do with Max. He was too strong to let anything like this happen. Probably they had heard wrong.

When they reached the others, Alice was glad to see they were all in one piece, but her stomach dropped at the site of the man from earlier. A Mega Charizard stood before the rest of the group. A Charizard.... Max had a Charizard...but this one looked crazed... It couldn't be.

Suddenly the man turned toward Alice and Rose. Alice forced herself to look into his face, which was mostly covered. In the gym it was too dark to see... But here, in the flickering light from the burning city... Could it be?

*Greet our other guests*

Alice heard the voice in her head. Four shadow Pokemon advanced toward them. Alice's breath caught on her throat as she looked at the Tyrunt. She had studied many Tyrunt over the years. Her father had discovered them. To most people, Tyrunt all looked the same, but Alice knew what to look for. Snout width... Hip length.... Brow depth... All the things she had noticed when she first saw the little Tyrunt in Pewter city. This was that Tyrunt, who had once been so happy and carefree. Now it stared at them hungrily. Tears raced down Alice's face. She looked to Meg and the others, but they were too far away. Had they realised?

The Pokemon began to attack. She couldn't lose it now. "We can do this," she said to Rose, hoping to calm her.

After a vicious battle, both Tyrunt fainted.

Alice stepped past the fainted shadows, toward Max. As she got closer she felt the horrible void from the gym fill her. But there was something else... Just for a split second... "Max!" she yelled. "I know it's you, Max! Stop this! What did they do to you?! Max... Don't let them win! Stop this, Max! We're your friends!" Alice cried hard now. "Don't you remember at all?!"
