I beat the elite four, beat the rival again and went to buy Mega Stones for Charizard because I chose Bulbasaur in the beginning.
Yet the clerks sells me the stone with a price tag of 1000000. What's going on? Is there any way to lower its price?

In Lumiose City there is a "Stone Emporium" that sells...stones.
If you go in, there's usually only a clerk that sells regular stones (Fire, Leaf, Sun, etc.). However, to the left of the clerk there is a man who does sell the Mega Evolution stones.
Note, his prices are tremendously expensive, if you haven't defeated the Elite Four yet. Defeating the Elite Four and the Champion should move the game into postgame, which drastically cuts down the prices for the stones.
Here are the stones he sells:
Main Game (before Elite Four)
- Charizardite X/Y - 1,000,000
- Venusaurite - 1,000,000
- Blastoisenite - 1,000,000
Post Game (after Elite Four)
- Charizardite X/Y - 150,000
- Venusaurite - 150,000
- Blastoisenite - 150,000
According to the Pokemon Guide, pointed out by BenBrocka, the price can get significantly lower based on how "stylish" you become:
The other answers are pretty good, but just to add a couple more points.
- Work on filling out your Pokedex
- Go back to different areas and catch Pokemon you're missing (check the Pokedex for their locations).
- Trade between X & Y to get the ones you can't catch in your game
- Evolve Pokemon you've caught already
- I usually set up a Pokemon geared toward catching other Pokemon. Smeargle works well for this - Teach it False Swipe, Mean Look, a Paralysing move such as Stun Spore, and something else (I usually run with a move to hit Ghost Pokemon)
- Try your hand at multiplayer: Link battles tend to be a lot different to Singleplayer battles - they have their own tactics, and the battles tend to be harder as they're more evenly matched (where Singleplayer is geared towards you winning). You really have to focus on Team cohesion a lot more.
- Check out Smogon for different tactics, and check which Pokemon work well (and work well together). It's still geared toward Gen 5, as the community is still learning the ins and outs of X/Y, but most of the info there will stay relevant.
- There's a big focus on having Pokemon with the right Individual Values (IVs), Effort Values (EVs) and Natures. You can be average in multiplayer without worrying too much about these, but if you plan on entering tournaments this is where you'll gain the edge over your opponents.
- Trade for all the Vivillion variations: There are 18 different wing patterns, depending on which real-world Geographic area you hail from. See if you can trade for all types.

The prices for many things in Lumiose City (Stone Emporium, Boutique Couture) are linked to a "stylish" stat. There are certain things you can do in Lumiose City that increase this stat such as:
Increasing your "stylishness" will get you such bonuses as discounts at the various Lumiose stores, more hairstyling options, more options at the Juice Bar, and more.
