==Synopsis==
Justin and Rachel visit Mt. Pyre and meet a powerful trainer.
==Summary==
Rachel has been preparing Marshtomp for the next Contest though she has no idea where the next Contest Hall is. Still, Rachel and Marshtomp work hard and Rachel still cannot help but look to Justin for ideas. Justin commits to their previous agreement not to give Rachel ideas.
Instead, Justin asks that they go to Mt. Pyre for a break and to help Rachel find inspiration. Upon arrival, Justin enjoys a battle with his Eevee defeating a girl's Banette. 
Justin and Rachel explore the spiritual grounds as well as the local ghost Pokemon. One of them is a Shuppet that takes a liking to Skitty, and Rachel allows Skitty to play with it as they explore the mountain.
At the summit, Justin and Rachel encounter Summer who has just found a Mega Stone with her Meditite, a Medichamite. Justin and Rachel catch up with Summer, who aims for the Lilycove Contest to be her fourth ribbon. A determined Rachel says it will her her third ribbon instead. Justin embarasses Rachel to share that she had no idea there was a Contest Hall in Lilycove City. 
As they continue to explore the summit, they come across two relics, a red and blue orb, guarded by an elderly couple who allow them to look at the orbs. 
The elderly couple calls over a young woman, their grandchild, with her Dusclops, who are speaking to spirits. Summer is amazed to meet the woman whom she knows as Phoebe of the Hoenn Elite Four. Phoebe is the Elite Four's newest member. She won the Ever Grande Conference four years prior and two years ago she was inducted into Elite status.
Justin is enthused and challenges Phoebe to a battle against her Dusclops, but she declines as she will not battle on sacred grounds but would have otherwise accepted his challenge. Suddenly Phoebe is called away, and she departs on her Drifblim.
Unbeknownst to Phoebe, her message was a hack on her Pokenav by Team Aqua. When she is gone, the members begin to surge mountain
