♧♧♧♧♧

After winning a Rainbow Badge from Erika, Aura and her friends find themselves in a new city.

♧♧♧♧♧

Aura was frozen in utter shock. She didn't quite know if she was terrified and wanted to run, or fascinated and needed to watch everything. It intrigued her for sure: Cars, roads, lamp posts, pavement, tall - Very, very, very tall buildings, and people... So. Many. People.

Aura honestly looked like she had just seen a ghost - Ironic, since ghosts and the paranormal stuff doesn't bother her, and she was looking around at everything, and suddenly - It got harder to breathe.

Steven was the only one to notice the girl's panic attack and held her shoulders as support.

"I hate the city." Aura shuddered, as her breath slowly quickened, along with her heart. She was also clinging onto her brother's blazer for dear life. "I feel like they're closing in on us."

"Yeah, and they're all so tall." Zoey agreed, looking up to see only the tall structures. You could barely see the blue sky above them. "You can hardly see any sky."

"Where are we, Cilan?" Mairin asked their Connoisseur friend, who was holding the PokéNav.

"Uh... HopHopHop Town?" Cilan answered in a questioning tone.

"Hop Hop Hop..." Mairin, Jin and Jun hopped on one foot/paw one by one, as they said 'Hop'.

"... Town!" They laughed, ending with the twins doing a headstand.

Steven, Alain, Cilan and Zoey chuckled at that.

Suddenly, Aura stopped shaking and looked around.

It didn't take long for the others to notice.

"Is something wrong, Aura?" Zoey asked.

"Something is wrong with the air." The Aura Guardian replied, her eyes still wandering the crowded streets. "I don't know what, but something doesn't feel right about this city."

"You know..." Jin's ears started twitching.

"... you're right." Even Jun's ears started twitching.

"Something's off." The twins stated.

"Arnold!" A woman shouted.

"Huh?" Everyone turned to their right to see a woman hugging a boy - who looked to be a Pokémon Trainer - out of pure relief?
