Sandslash was working on a particularly stubborn box when the trio arrived. "G'day mates! You've grown a bit since las time, eh Pyro?" He chuckled. "And who's this fine fellow?"

Pyro laughed. *yeah, I evolved without the Evolution Shrine! Also, thats Thunder, my best freind from my childhood.* Thunder nodded and said, *nice to meet you!* Pyro walked over to Sandslash, used Dragon Claw, and cut the box open in a second. *ur welcome.*

Snadslash put his hands on his hips. "You tryin' to put me outta the job mate? Also, you coulda broke what ever was in it," He said flatly, shoving the box aside. "But enough o' that. How can I help ya?"

Pyro grinned sheepishly. *sorry. Now we just wanted to say hi, introduce u to Thunder, and I wanted to ask something. Has any Pokmon, ever, evolved without the Evolution Shrine?*

"Yep. Cosmog," Sandslash said. "Other then that though... Well, there are rumors, but no comformation,"

Shaking his wings, he said, *not rumors anymore.* and pointing at his Mega Band, he said, *and now I can Mega Evolve!*

"Shoulda guessed." Sandslash shrugged. "Anyways, There anythin' else you needed?"

(RED POWDER)

(K)

*this,* Thunder said, using Psycic and passing the powder to Sandslash without spilling any. *what is that?*

Sandslash inspected the powder a moment, gently poking it with a claw. "Firey Dust, I'd say," He finally announced.

Pyro cocked his head. *whats that?*
