Pokemon Adventures: X*Y, Vol. 5

Description

Awesome Pokemon adventures inspired by the best-selling Pokemon X and Pokemon Y video games! X was a Pokemon Trainer child prodigy. He hated being in the spotlight, so he took to hiding in his room and avoiding everyone-including his best friend Y. But now a surprise attack has brought X out of hiding! In Kalos, X prepares for a rematch against Blue, a senior Pokedex holder. Meanwhile, the scheming Lysandre and Team Flare are up to no good at the mysterious Pokemon Village. Plus, a Mega Evolution occurs, the powerful Sundial is uncovered, and the Order Pokemon appears. What other new dangers await X, Y, and their friends?
