To heal the girl they found in Makna Forest, Shulk offered to find some Water Ether Crystals near some waterfalls.
Luckily, I've already visited this place before that plotline, so I could just Fast Travel to it in a wink.
----------
After picking up the crystals and the water, Shulk was approached by another Homs, one that looked close to his own age. His name is Alvis, and he already knew Shulk's name, as well as his exploits with the Monado.
Shulk remembered this guy from one of his dreams...
Telethia arrived on the scene to attack the two. Shulk to use his Vision to dodge their attacks, but... the Telethia knew how he was going to dodge and changed their attacks.
According to Alvis, the Telethia can read people's minds, AND he knows of Shulk's Visions.
But that's not all. Alvis was able to use the Monado, himself, without any damage to him like how the sword harmed Dunban. He unlocked a new symbol, and defeated the Telethia with power of Monado Purge.
Still without any self-damage, Alvis tossed the Monado back to Shulk to see if he could use that same new power, himself. It seems that Alvis know quite a bit about this weapon...
----------
Using Monado Purge, you can seal away different powerups the enemy may have, such as Auras and Spikes.
Spiked enemies will damage you each time you hit them, and are labeled as such if you lock-on to them and pink spikes shoot out from their info. Meanwhile Telethia enemies have the Soul Read Aura that makes them more powerful and harder to hit.
Alvis will fight alongside you in this battle using a different weapon, but don't worry about healing him too much, because he can't be killed.
----------
After the fight, Shulk was curious to how Alvis learned how to use the Monado.
But Alvis completely dodged the question and focused on how the Telethia they fought what not the one that was fought against by a certain girl.
When he went back to Shulk's question about the Monado, Alvis explained the sword's ultimate potential, that it can disturb the very fabric of existence. That only gave Shulk more questions.
Reyn showed up afterwards, because he was concerned with why Shulk was taking so long to deliver the Water Ether Crystals back to the group. Shulk tried to introduce Reyn to Alvis, but Alvis suddenly vanished...
Reyn was stumped with who or what Shulk was talking about, but nonetheless, they then walked back to the others so Sharla can treat the girl they found with those ether crystals.
Alvis was watching them from a far distance, but how did he move that quickly...?
