We found a little restaurant after walking for just a few minutes, so we entered and ordered some food before sitting down. We talked for a little as Sky had a bit of trouble fitting into the booth with his wings.

Scorch: Okay, so what are we going to do first…? I am a little unsure. Such a big place…

Shock looked around and got up to walk off somewhere. We didn't really think much of it at the moment as the others continued to speak. When he did return, he had a map that he opened up and spread onto the table.

Shock: Look what I found. Appears to be a map of the city.

We looked over it as Cloud scoffed.

Sky: Hmm… Aurora City… Sounds kinda nice.

Cloud: Guess it sounds fine…

Shock looked over the map some more and pointed in the center.

Shock: Look here. Looks like a park.

He then looked up and looked at us.

Shock: Why don't we go there? Looks nice.

Sky had his arms crossed and I looked at him. He noticed me and spoke.

Sky: This is so strange. Aurora City. I've never heard of such a place and I flew in every direction for miles upon miles. Never seen such a place.

Scorch: Really? Guess we really did drift far during that storm.

Shock: I really don't know… Yeah, the storm lasted for a while, but how did we go off course so much?

Scorch: No idea…

Shock: A new land…

Sky: Hmm. How about we head to the park after eating?

We agreed and started eating once our food got here. When we finished eating, we just got up and left the building. We then walked off to the park and after getting there, we just sat down and Shock started.

Shock: This place feels so weird… I don't even know where we are… But I guess to find out more, we should just split up. Sounds good? I was sorta thinking that if we split up, we could gather more info or something about where we are. Or at least learn the city layout.

Sky: Hmm… If so, I want to go with him.

Sky then looked at me.

Shock: Oh? Teams of two? I guess that sounds good. Then I guess I'll go with Ember.

Scorch: Guess that leaves me and Cloud then.

Shock: Okay. I guess we should meet up here after an hour. Sounds good?

Everyone agreed and soon we started splitting up. Everyone left and soon it was just me and Sky standing there. He looked at me and shrugged.

Sky: Guess we should get going.

He walked around for a moment before sighing.

Sky: Not a big fan of walking around such a big city…

I then watched as he lowered himself into a crouching position. He nudged his head and spoke.

Sky: Climb on and we'll survey the area.

Tilting my head, I clearly looked confused.

Shaymin: Uh… Y- you sure you can support others on you?

Sky: You're slightly smaller then me, so I am sure I can handle your weight.

Shaymin: Um… Okay…

Walking up to him, I slowly got onto his back and suddenly he launched up which startled me at first. I held onto him tightly and shook gently from it. I had my face pressed against his neck and upon looking up slowly, I looked around.

Shaymin: W- whoa…

Sky: Now this is the sight I wanted to see.

He started to fly around as I looked down to the ground. It honestly looked really pretty. We were quite high up as he continued flying around. He looked around and crossed his arms.

Sky: Okay… Now this makes things so much easier.

Sky looked around some more before pointed.

Sky: Huh… Look over there.

Looking forward, I noticed something in the far distance. I couldn't make it out, but it appeared it caught Sky's attention.

Sky: Lets check that out.

Without warning, he just started bolting towards the location. I nearly fell off him from the suddenly speed as I held on tightly and ended up pressing my face against his neck once more. I did this for about two minutes before he stopped. Thinking it was safe, I slowly looked up again and noticed we were close to the location.

Sky: Dang. Now this looks sweet.

I looked around and noticed that this building was a dome. There was a large lake we flew over and it looked really nice. The water looked so clean and soon we landed in front of the building in a parking lot.

Getting off of Sky, he looked around.

Sky: Such a large dome. Oh…! Is it an arena? I'm excited if so.

He walked up to the doors and opened them. I followed as he entered. The lobby area was so big and I was somewhat surprised.

Sky: It is an arena! I hadn't been to one of these in such a long time… I remember always going to a place just like this every Sunday. I loved the demo derby weekend. Weaponized vehicles destroying each other. I miss those days, heh.

Shaymin: Uh…

Sky: Oh, sorry. I'm just a little excited. Um… How about you sit down? I just wanna do something real quick.

Shaymin: Okay…?

I sat down. I was sorta confused as Sky ran off. I just sat there and looked around. There were multiple large TV's hanging from the walls which played different channels. One played news stuff, another appeared to be a live coverage of what was going on inside the dome. I ended up watching a little of this until Sky walked up to me about 15 minutes later.

Sky: Okay, I'm done. How about we leave?

Shaymin: Uh… Okay. What were you doing?

Sky: Oh, don't worry. Just wanted to do something.

He then walked to the doors as I got up and followed. When we left the building, we were about to head back to the city, but we were stopped by what sounded like arguing. We looked over and noticed an Umbreon and Lucario going at it. It seemed pretty heated as Sky looked at me.

Sky: Doesn't look good. Let me try and get between them.

Shaymin: Uh… Are you sure?

He nodded and walked towards them. I stood there and watched for a bit. Whatever Sky said made the Lucario back off and walked off in a huff. I slowly walked up after that was over with and the Umbreon seemed somewhat annoyed as he sighed and looked up at us.

"Thanks for getting him off me…" The Umbreon spoke.

Sky: Seemed pretty bad, so I decided to stop it before something happened.

"Yeah… He's just a dick who is known to steal from others." He said, showing a bottle.

Sky: Well, glad to help then. Guess we'll be off.

He looked at us for a moment before tilting his head.

"Didn't expect to see a Shaymin… That's cool. Well, I gotta get going. Thanks again." He said.

He then walked off as Sky looked at me.

Sky: Well, we should head back before the others arrive.

Nodding, I got on his back and we began traveling back to the city. I just looked around at the trees.

Shaymin: This place looks really nice honestly…

Sky: Yeah. Still strange though. Oh well…

When we entered the city, Sky started flying up alongside a tall building. When we reached the top, he landed and I got off. Sky walked towards the edge and stared around. I joined him as he sighed.

Sky: Aurora City… It does look nice and clean. But it's just all so strange. I've never heard of this city at all… For some reason it just feels wrong…

Looking at him, he stared over before shaking his head.

Sky: Sorry. Just thinking about it. Like, this place looks nice. An unknown land and all. Lots to explore. Kinda excited to do so. But err… Lets get to the park.

Nodding, we traveled down the building and I got off him upon reaching the park. It appeared the others were sitting there. Just chatting. Ember noticed us and waved us over as we walked up.

Shock: Okay, we're all here, so I guess I can finally tell everyone.

Shaymin: Huh?

Shock: Well… During that storm… It really messed up our ship. Though I guess we were lucky since this city appears to be an import and export place. Lots of water traffic. And I guess that means lots of repairs. So luckily I managed to get some others to work on it.

Scorch: Uh… What was wrong with it?

Shock: That storm really did mess it up… Damaged hull, torn sails, flooding in the lower decks, just all kinds of damage… It isn't impossible to fix, though expensive… About 1,000 or 2,000 dollars. Maybe more… I'm just hoping Autumn covers the cost.

Scorch: Crap… Thinking about it, Autumn and Bolt are not going to be happy.

Sky: Well, I could most likely fly back, but I have no idea how far it is. And with common storms, it's nearly impossible.

Scorch: That's fine… I'm just hoping they repair our ship soon.

Ember: Yeah, but it's getting dark… So we should find a place to rest.

Cloud got up and rolled her eyes.

Cloud: Well, you do that. I'm going to actually enjoy this place. Way better then that tiny little town…

She then walked off, leaving us there as Sky leaned back and sighed gently.

Sky: Moody like always.

Shock: Well, I guess that's a good idea. Do you think you can seek one out? I still want to explore.

He looked at Sky and I.

Shaymin: O- oh, sure…

He nodded and got up.

Shock: Just message us when you find something.

He then walked off, following the others. We were soon alone once more. Sky looked at me. I was thinking about what Shock just said. Message him. So I pulled out my phone and tried contacting Autumn. However, the message wouldn't go through.

Shaymin: W- we must be in a far away land… Out… Of range…

Sky: Huh… Lets just try and get a place for tonight.

I nodded and got up as we started seeking out a place for tonight. This city was full of hotels and apartments, so it didn't really take long to find quite a nice hotel as it looked very clean and nice. So I waited for Sky as he checked all of us in. Upon doing so, we took the elevator up and walked to our room. Sky unlocked the door and walked in and once inside, he started looking around as I sat down. Sky walked back and nodded.

Sky: Not a bad place. I'm sure everyone will like it. Quite large too.

Shaymin: Yeah…

He looked out the window.

Sky: Really nice view from here. Anyways, you should tell them where we'll be sleeping.

Nodding, I pulled out of my phone and messaged everyone before placing it away. He looked around a bit more and walked towards the door.

Sky: Since we're living here for a few days, I might as well get some food. Coming along?

Shaymin: T- that's fine. I guess I'll just stay here…

Sky: Alright. I'll be back soon then.

He then left. I was then alone in the room as I got up and stared outside. The sun was setting and everything got darker as lights soon turned on to light up the city in multiple colors. I sat down and stared out. The lights looked really nice as I soon got up before turning back and walking into a room to reveal a few beds.

Shaymin: If we really are here for a bit, then I guess I should get some sleep to explore around early…

Getting into a bed, I laid down and sighed before closing my eyes and falling asleep...
