The gang and Brandon were back at the Pokémon Center. It was a few days after Brandon managed to find Regice which he was very happy to have found it. Cora knew that Ash was still stuck on a new training idea and May was too. Right now, they were telling Brandon and Scott about their recent adventure before arriving at the Battle Pyramid.

"I have to admit that you all were lucky to see the Sea Temple. I wish I had the chance." Brandon admitted.

"It was amazing." Max said.

"Beautiful is more like it." May added.

"It's also amazing that you're a descendent of Sir Aaron and a royal family member of the People of the Water, Cora." Brandon stated, amazed.

"Yeah, it's truly surprising." Cora admitted, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. 

"At least Manaphy and the Sea Temple are safe from anyone trying to take it." Brock said.

"That's a good thing too." Scott agreed.

"You luckily had the help of a Pokémon Ranger. I can't believe Phantom was after Manaphy." Brandon commented.

"You've met Phantom before?" Alain asked.

"Yeah, I caught him looking around in one of the ruins that I was exploring. Unfortunately, I was unable to apprehend him at that time." Brandon explained, ashamed.

"I actually have a few photos of the temple." Cora changed the subject. Then she took out her Rotom Phone and pulled up the folder with the photos.

Rotom floated over to Brandon, and he gently held the phone. He looked surprised at the photos.

"Amazing. You even got a photo of the Sea Crown." Brandon commented, awed at the picture.

"It's magnificent, right?" Cora asked.

Brandon nodded, "Yeah." He let the Rotom phone float back over to Cora who put her phone back in her pocket.

"So what are you going to do now, Brandon? Scott?" Max questioned.

"I'm going to look for ruins on the Legendary Golems." Brandon replied.

"For me, I'm going to look for more trainers to compete in the Battle Frontier." Scott added.

"What about you, Cora? Alain?" Brandon questioned.

"Well, we'll spend some time at home before we head to the Sinnoh region." Cora answered.

"(I can't wait to see the Sinnoh region.)" Aaron commented.

Then Nurse Natalia Joy announced that May's Pokémon were here.

May picked up two Pokéballs from the front desk.

"Who did you bring over, May?" Max asked.

"Skitty, Beautifly, come on out!" May released the two Pokémon.

The two Pokémon appeared and trilled happily at seeing the trainer again.

"Hey you two." May greeted them as she picked up Skitty and Beautifly perched on her head.

"It's been a while since we saw these two." Brock commented.

"Yeah." Mairin and Max agreed.

"Well, I'm going over to the contest hall." May said.

"What for?" Ash asked.
