>You start your journey just fine. Meet with this cool young professor who wants you to help him study Mega Evolution.>You then meet Lysandre, who after seeing your pokédex realizes you are working with his good friend Sycamore. He is also helping him on his research. He gives you a cool Holo Caster update to stay in touch and so you can send Mega Evolution data to them.>The encounter with Lysandre and Diantha in the Café Soleil still happens, but is a more amicable chat about how a movie star can get roles in different niches if she just ages normally instead of remaining "young" forever, and how that is beautiful in it's own way. First clue that Lysandre isn't batshit insane here.>Lysandre tells you his lineage's story and the Ultimate Weapon on his café, but instead of using it as a "THEY ARE FILTH" monologue he uses it as a moral about current events.>The Ultimate Weapon "cleaned" the region from the "undesirable" back then, but he thinks that is a coward path.>He wants to believe Kalos is beautiful, but the truth is, it isn't.>The glamorous Kalos we know is because the region is making it's best to hide away the poor and homeless people and pokémon from tourists and visitors, just to preserve this fake image of Kalos being all glamour.>Lysandre doesn't agree with this, and wants to help everyone so there is only happiness and real beauty in Kalos. >Well that was motivational and sad, but you have no time for this, you have to go around collecting some stones!>You go around getting your Key Stone and Mega Stones just as normal.>With the updated Holo Caster you send every piece of data you get everytime you Mega Evolve your pokémon, and Sycamore is happy. If you don't use too much Mega Evolution -or at all- Sycamore at first tries to encourage you to use it, but later starts to get annoyed by your lack of cooperation.Cont.
