The easiest way of acquiring a Dragon Scale in Pokemon Unbound is through a Poke Ball in Route 14. You can do this as soon as you obtain HM03 Surf as this is required to reach the area containing the Dragon Scale.

Alternatively, you can also obtain Dragon Scales through several Pokemon encounters, hidden in Victory Road, or by exchanging at the Battle Frontier for 32 Battle Points.
