"This is Ward!"
You glance at Ward but he isn't smiling at Ben!
It seems like you might have to be even nicer to Ben to make up for it! You had better say something quickly!
"He's my friend!"
It looks like that worked! Ben nods at Ward and says "Another mon trainer? Welcome aboard! Mashi, why don't you show Ward and his Skyrap around while Skowl and I get ready for liftoff?"
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"Mashi?"</span></span>
You and Ward climb into the balloon and sit down and a few moments later Ben and Skowl close the door and Ben walks up to the front of the balloon and grins at you when he sits down. "Liftoff is a lot easier than landing!"
You can hear the motor and then the balloon starts to float up into the air and you float away from Copper Citadel into the night sky!
"Oh, I almost forgot. Skowl, go and get that <span class="mu-r">box of dried fruit</span>." Ben watches as Skowl hops away and then looks at you and says "This got left behind on the last delivery."
Skowl holds a cardboard box with a picture of a fruit on it out to you!
"Skowooo!"
You open the box and inside is some dried fruit! You eat a piece and then give a piece to Lottatax and then hold out a piece to Ward.
What? Ward doesn't want any?
<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">"I don't eat fruit."</span></span>
You eat another few pieces and then give Lottatax another piece and put the rest in your jacket pocket! You're not hungry anymore!
After a little while you can see it's almost morning, and a few moments later Ben says "We're approaching Bronze Valley."
What? You're already back in Bronze Valley! This balloon really is fast!
The balloon sinks down at the airport and when it lands on the ground Ben turns off the motor and stands up and walks to the back and opens the door.
You stand up and look at Skowl!
"Goodbye, Skowl!"
Skowl squints at you and says "Skowooo!"
Lottatax climbs onto your back and you walk to the back of the balloon and look at Ben.
"Thank you, Ben!"
"You're welcome. Sorry for giving you a hard time before. Hey, Mashi... if you see Starr again... tell her..." Ben looks away at the sky for a moment. "Well, you're probably busy. I'll see you later!" Ben turns around and walks back into the balloon and Skowl hops after him!
You look at the balloon and then look at Ward and Skyrap and Lottatax!
"Ready?
You start walking toward the Bronze Valley Arena! It's easy to find because you can see it from the airport! You walk away from the airport and then start walking through an open field. As you and Ward walk toward it you see some humans all looking at some papers.
Suddenly one of the humans says "A <span class="mu-r">human-type mon</span>!"
What? Does one of the humans know you're a Cutémon? You crouch down behind a flat bush and look at Ward but then you hear the humans talking again!
"No way!"
"That's what it says!"
"A human-type mon?"
"Tonight in the arena!"
"No wonder there's already a crowd!"
"It's gonna be a sold out fight!"
