With only three "windows" left to go, Lumino continued on with his task. More modern scenery is what the old man saw next and the focus was squarely on a small yellow rodent-like creature that was following a young boy. Lumino questioned as to why and soon learned that the creature was used to fight other creatures, as seen when the boy used the rodent to battle another creature owned by a different human.

Lumino wasn't sure how to take this, but it seemed that the creatures actually enjoyed this. Lumino could even feel a bond of friendship between the humans and creatures. If that was the case, Lumino had no business to say otherwise.

After the battle and as they continued down the road, the rodent's human partner had mentioned something about earning their sixth badge once they made it to the next city. He then made mentioned that once he gained all eight badges, they could take on the champion. Lumino continued to become intrigued by this world.

Unfortunately, when they reached the next city, it was under siege by some organization. It seemed that the boy had encountered this organization before a few times and whatever they were up to this time, it had to be stopped.

Lumino watched as the rodent and the boy entered the tallest building, where the organization was mainly targeting. The two, as well as other creatures under the boy's command, fought their way through the grunts and scientists working for the organization. As the two got closer to the top floor, it was found that the organization wasn't the only ones they would have to fight.

Another boy stood before the two, this one with a very cocky and arrogant attitude. Lumino did not like this child as to him; this boy did not care about anything but himself, as evident by the fact that he didn't even try to help take down this organization and just waited for the other boy to show up so he could battle him. Lumino had to crack a grin when he watched the arrogant little brat get defeated with ease. Once the brat was gone, the heroic boy and his partner continued on to find the organization leader and take him down.

The leader was like the brat, very arrogant. Unlike the brat though, the leader was also power hungry. He felt as if he deserved such power and that everyone else was beneath him. The boy was not going to allow this man to continue with his plans for very long.

It was a long fought battle, the two humans sending out their creature partners. The boy treated them with great respect, but the leader treated them as tools. It was soon down to the boy's rodent against the leader's large cat. Lumino could feel the determination coming off the boy and the rodent and knew they would win. This came to pass as the rodent sent a high voltage of electricity at the cat, which was too much for the feline as it was sent flying and crashing into the back wall. To say the leader was upset was an understatement. He was livid as he vowed to get back at the boy during their next meeting.

With the office building released from the organization's control and after a brief celebration, the rodent and his partner soon continued on with their journey.

The scene soon faded into white light, signifying to Lumino that this was once again a memory of the world he was watching. That brought up another question in Lumino's mind. Why was he seeing memories of certain worlds, while others had happened in real time? Was this connected to that thing he had been seeing? Only time would tell.
