It was nighttime, Aichi, Misaki, and Kamui felt like collapsing as they finally saw the next city in the distance. It’s buildings were tall and illuminated a golden glow. An ordinate golden wall surrounded the city. We’re the wall peaked there was a translucent psychic dome covering over the top which was hardly visible from where they were standing. Special elite trainers and officers stood guard at the entry point.

Aichi perked up as it suddenly hit him where they were going.

“This is the capital city...Gold Maine isn’t it?”, Aichi asked.

“Yeah...huff...that’s it. Haven’t you been here before?”, Misaki questioned as Aichi shook his head.

“I’ve spent my entire life in Sanctuary town.”, Aichi answered.

“So you're a bumpkin?”, Misaki questioned as Aichi looked embarrassed.

“Yeah...my mom is rather protective of me. That’s why I started my journey so late.”, Aichi explained.

“That’s...crazy! You live in Kakusa yet you’ve never been here?!”, Kamui questioned incredulously.

“I know I’m a small town bumpkin.”, Aichi said chuckling.

One of the elite guards came up to them.

“What is your business in the holy city? Your not apart of Team Asteroid are you?”, the guard questioned cautiously.

“As if we’d be one of those losers. Do you see a stupid red A on us anywhere?”, Kamui replied as Misaki elbowed him, coughing awkwardly.

“We're here to rest and stock up on supplies. Will probably only stay for a day or two before we set off to Grandblue city. We’re going there to eliminate the threat of Team Asteroid there.”, Misaki explained.

The guard nodded.

“You are Tokura Misaki, correct? The psychic gym leader word has spread here you and a few others have been fighting off Team Asteroid.”, the guard replied.

“Yes, these two have been helping me. The blue haired boy is Sendou Aichi and the spiky haired one is Katsuragi Kamui.”, Misaki explained.

“Alright. You three may enter.”, the guard finally said.

Aichi looked around nervously as he walked through the gate a bit intimidated. As soon as he got through though that uneasiness melted away and shifted to wonder as he got a better look at the city. The buildings seemed to be a strange mix of traditional and borderline futuristic. Various people and Pokémon wandered throughout the city. The bits of greenery there were breathtaking. In the very center of the city was a large gold statue of Arceus. At the statue various people in religious clothing prayed before their god.

Aichi felt his jaw drop taking in the sight as Misaki dragged him to the nearest hotel.

“Come on, bumpkin we need to sleep some time today.”, Misaki said.

Aichi felt captivated looking over at everything he could with wonder. They eventually stopped before a grand building that had the words PSY on the top.

“Is this the hotel?”, Aichi asked.

“It’s more than just a normal hotel. Well...hehe you’ll see.”, Kamui replied.

“It’s so big…”, Aichi trailed off in awe as they walked in.

The inside of the hotel somehow felt even more overwhelming. It was massive. There was an arcade, a battle arena, a mall, restaurants, saunas, a full water park and much much more. Like the city various people and Pokémon were littered about taking part in various activities. Aichi stood there frozen in amazement as Misaki checked them in.

“We’re in room Q4. You boys can go wander around if you want, I'm going to sleep.”, Misaki told them holding the key in her hands.

“Why is there a letter in front of it.”, Aichi questioned.

“Each room division goes from A-Z with 20 floors in each.”, Misaki explained as Aichi felt like he was gonna faint.

“H-how big is this place?!”, Aichi questioned.

“Let’s go, Aichi!”, Kamui said as he wrapped his arm around Aichi’s leading him around.

“We should go to the Pokémon center first wherever it is.”, Aichi suggested.

“Good idea! I almost forgot we never got to heal up from Kagero Town.”, Kamui said as they made their way to the center.

Like every Pokémon center it had a nurse Joy who they gave their Pokémon to heal. Aichi and Kamui sat down by a table looking at everything around them trying to decide what to do. They received a little beeper that will tell them when their Pokémon are healed.

“We can go to the hot springs. That would feel really good right now and it would relieve some of our sleepiness so we can do more stuff.”, Kamui suggested.

“That sounds good...I’ve never been to a hot springs.”, Aichi replied.

“Your such a bumpkin Aichi.”, Kamui replied chuckling.

“I know.”, Aichi replied chuckling.

They went over to the boys side of the hot springs area.

“Oh, wait I don’t have any trunks?!”, Aichi realized.

“It’s fine you can rent some here. I don’t have trunks either.”, Kamui replied.

“This place has everything doesn’t it?”, Aichi questioned.

The two of them rented a pair of trunks to wear. Then they put their bags away in lockers to keep them safe. In the hot springs there was a giant statue of Kyogure. Kamui didn’t linger on the scenery too long, jumping straight into the water making a loud splash. Aichi covered his face, sweat dropping at his friend. Kamui smiled deviously from the water splashing some at Aichi.

“Ah! Haha! Kamui! Stop!”, Aichi laughed as he walked into the water.

Aichi sank into where only his head was visible. He had a very content smile. The water felt very good. It made him completely forget about the complete horror movie of a day he had earlier.

“You're just sitting there Aichi.”, Kamui said.

“The water feels really good…”, Aichi purred as Kamui sweat dropped.

“He almost sounds like a Pokémon...hehe that would explain how he can understand them.”, Kamui thought.

“Man...we should have brought our Pokémon here. They'd love this.”, Aichi said.

“Oh, trust me they're not missing out, they're probably having the time of their lives at that Pokémon center.”, Kamui replied.

“But it’s...Wait...don’t tell me it’s more than a Pokémon center.”, Aichi replied.

Meanwhile with the Pokémon…

“Gallade. Gallade. (Ah. This is so nice.)”, Ahmes said as it was being massaged.

Wingal was being scrubbed in a bath with other dog-like Pokémon like Growlithe, Granbull, Houndour, and Lillipup.

Gancelot looked a little nervous as the attendants gave him a facial.

“Riolu? Riolu? (I wonder if I can eat these cucumbers?)”, Gancelot thought.

Llew swam around in the pool they had with other water type Pokémon like Magikarp, Lapras, Tirtouga, and many more.

“Wimpod! Wimpod! Wimpod! (Man you were around in ancient times that’s so cool!)”, Llew replied to the Tirtouga.

With Aichi…

“Come on, Aichi don’t be so lame and just sit there.”, Kamui said splashing Aichi again trying to goad him.

“K-Kamui! Ah why not?”, Aichi relented splashing back.

When the water hit Kamui it made one side of his spiky hair partially flop down a bit. Aichi grinned thinking it looked funny.

“That’s a good look for you.”, Aichi said.

Kamui didn’t look amused, having the wet hair slap him in the face.

“This ain’t over Aichi...this is only the beginning!”, Kamui said pointing at Aichi before splashing him back, Aichi chuckled in response.

And thus they ended up in a little splash war. After a while they got bored and left the hot springs.

“Ah! That was so nice!”, Aichi said as he and Kamui came out of the hot springs back in their normal clothes.

He definitely felt much more awake now then before. He looked down at his little beeper seeing that their Pokémon were ready.

“How about after we get our Pokémon we have a rematch? Their battle area is pretty sweet! You can win points there to get tms and rare candies.”, Kamui suggested.

“I won’t lose this time.”, Aichi replied with a smile.

“We’ll see about that! I am THE great Kamui after all.”, Kamui taunted.

They made it to the Pokémon center getting their Pokémon. They went over to the battle area next much like everything else it was huge, but even it was packed to the brim with multiple battles going on. There were some counters with some tms and rare candies being sold. There were also some spectating spots. Aichi looked around for some open spot for them to battle. Something caught his attention, a familiar heat. One that far exceeded the heat from the flames of the other trainers. Aichi walked over to where it was not sure if it was what he thought it was. Kamui followed behind him looking around. Aichi stopped causing Kamui to bump into him.

“Ah! Sorry, Kamui.”, Aichi apologized helping him up.

“What made you stop?”, Kamui asked.

Kamui looked over to where Aichi pointed. It was a trainer, a teen a bit older than the two of them. He had spiky brown hair and green eyes. He wore a navy jacket and a red shirt with jeans. He had some Poké balls hanging from his belt. It was Kai along with Overlord and Miwa.

“Do you know him?”, Kamui asked.

“Yeah, his name is Kai. It’s a bit of a long story though...it’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other.”, Aichi explained.

The battle had just ended with Kai’s victory. He turned from the battle just then, noticing Aichi and Kamui watching.

“H-hey Kai.”, Aichi greeted awkwardly, flashing him a smile.

“Long time no see Aichi.”, Miwa greeted waving at him.

“This is...my friend Kamui.”, Aichi introduced pointing at Kamui.

“So, you seem pretty strong Kai! Let’s see how strong!”, Kamui challenged causing Aichi to gasp in shock.

“Hmph. Fine, I’ll fight you little boy.”, Kai agreed.

“Don’t worry we can battle after I crush this guy.”, Kamui told Aichi.

“You sure are confident.”, Kai replied.

Aichi stood by Miwa as they watched on.

“So, how’s becoming a Pokémon master going?”, Miwa asked.

“Pretty good I guess. I have three gym badges now and four Pokémon.”, Aichi replied sheepishly.

“Ah, cool! What have you caught? Wait...it would probably be cooler to have them revealed in battle.”, Miwa replied.

“I guess so.”, Aichi replied.

“Go, Tough Boy!”, Kamui said throwing out his Rhyhorn.

“Go, Dragon Dancer!”, Kai said as he threw out a Kommo-o.

“Woah...Kai has a dragon type?”, Aichi questioned.

“More than one. He really likes dragons.”, Miwa whispered to him.

“Use clanging scales Dragon Dancer!”, Kai commanded.

“I’m not about to lose to some stupid scales! Tough Boy use bulldoze!”, Kamui commanded.

Rhyhorn charged at the dancing dragon only to be pushed back by the vibrations of its clanging scales.

“Now, use close combat!”, Kai commanded as Kamui paled.

“He knows a move that high level?”, Kamui questioned.

“It makes sense doesn’t it? Dragon type Pokémon need to get to super high levels to evolve to their final evolutions.”, Miwa explained.

Dragon Dancer wasted no time sending a flurry of punches and kicks at Tough Boy. It was far too much for the Rhyhorn to take getting knocked out as a result. Kamui snickered as he grabbed his next Poké ball.

“Okay...you caught me off guard there. Time to get serious! Go, Buster!”, Kamui replied throwing out his Combusken.

“Che! Is that all you got? Go, Vortex!”, Kai said recalling Dragon Dancer and throwing out a Salamence.

“Two dragons!”, Kamui gasped.

“Vortex use outrage!”, Kai commanded as Vortex let out a loud roar.

It dove at Buster at blinding speed taking down the opposing Pokémon before it could even react.

“Crap! That’s gotta last for a bit too! Go, Shout!”, Kamui said throwing out his Vigaroth.

Kamui flinched as Shout was instantly sent flying before it could even get an order. Aichi and Kamui gawked in shock at the turn of events.

“Mr.Invincible!”, Kamui said throwing out Machoke.

A loud thud rang as Mr.Invincible hit the floor.

“Kaiser!”, Kamui said throwing out his Pupitar.
