Sora and Birdramon didn't take long to catch up with the Yellow Team, Birdramon had to land and devolve back to Biyomon.

"It appears the Yellow Team is making good progress, they're almost out of the swamp already! Yet they looked tired. I can't blame them because they've been through a lot already. Let's watch to see how they're doing."

Izzy had kept an eye on his digivice to keep track of the blue team, he wouldn't feel comfortable until he was sure they couldn't follow them. He got startled when Tentomon asked him a question.

"What do you think there is on that part of the island?"

"Ah! Oh Tentomon... I don't know, we'll be exploring it."

"Has the Blue team left yet?" Ash asked.

"Well, they've started traveling southeast, they're about to leave the range of my digivice."

Suddenly Goku yelled "I'm hungry!!! We should have stayed at the Qu village to eat!!"

"We have to make progress Goku!" Freya said "We've lost a good portion of the day inside that cave."

"WEEE!!!"

Tentomon translated "P-chan would like to eat something too."

"I'm a bit hungry myself." Ash said.

"We should at least get out of the swamp first."

Everyone reluctantly agreed, but Izzy smiled. "There! They're gone."

They continued their journey.

What the Yellow Team found out of the swamp surprised them all, there was a beautiful green landscape in front of them, but everything was almost too perfect. The grass was perfectly trimmed, the trees and bushes where completely straight and one could even say symmetrical. There were several patches of flowers arranged in perfect alignment, they looked so perfect anyone would think they came from a greenhouse.

"Did we just walk into a giant golf course?" Ash asked.

"Look!" Izzy said, he pointed to a gray path that led into the distance, "maybe we can follow that."

Freya was reluctant "We don't know where it leads."

"Well duh!!" Goku "that's why we need to follow it, to find out where it leads."

Freya had a sweatdrop "What I mean is, how do we now it's safe?"

"Well there's only one way to find out!"

Goku and Ash were the first to start following the path, closely followed by the rest of the team.

Suddenly, after everyone had gotten on the path, it started moving on it's own.

"What is this?" Izzy said.

"Wee..."

"It's automatic!" Ash said, he just sat down and enjoyed the ride.

Goku followed Ash's example and sat down as well. "Hey! If it served food then it would be perfect."

Suddenly someone asked "What would you like to eat?"

"Um... anything juicy! Like a giant chicken!"

"Who asked that?" Freya asked.

Suddenly and gigantic roasted chicken materialized in front of Goku. Everyone was startled, but Goku was excited. "YUM!!!" he quickly started eating.

Freya tried to stop Goku "Goku! You don't know where that came from!"

"Who cares? It's delicious!?"

Ash then said "You know, I'd like a hamburger."

Suddenly a hamburger materialized in Ash's hands. "How about some fries and a soda?"

"Pika!"

"Oh yeah, another burger for Pikachu!"

"Cha!"

The fries and soda appeared right in front of his fight and another hamburger appeared besides Pikachu, Ash sat on the floor and started eating.

"Wee! Wee!" Ryoga wanted to say something, but Izzy got an idea.

"How about a glass of hot water?"

Suddenly a cup with hot water appeared in Izzy's hand, he quickly dropped it on P-chan, turning him into Ryoga.

"Thanks Izzy! I was getting tired of being a pig, and I wanted to ask for some noodle soup."

Suddenly the noodle soup appeared in Ryoga's hands, he sat down as well and started eating.

Izzy then made his request "I'd like a pepperoni pizza please."

The hot pizza appeared by his feet. "Come on Tentomon! Let's eat!"

"This is great!" Tentomon said.

Freya was getting upset. "Am I the only one who feels this is strange!?"

"iu mow frema." Goku said with his mouth full "iu shu earm to emax"

"Huh?"

Goku swallowed "You should learn to relax."

Freya sighed, she might as well give in. "I'd like roast beef."

The roast beef appeared by her feet. The Yellow Team kept eating while they were being translated to wherever the moving path led.

The Yellow Team had finished eating, the moment they had finished the dishes that had appeared with the food disappeared.

Ash pointed ahead in the path "Look!"

They could see a city inside a semitransparent dome, the path was leading them there.

"What do you suppose that place is?" Tentomon asked.

"I don't know!" Izzy said, he looked excited "but it looks magnificent!"

"Very futuristic." Freya said.

"I wonder how is it inside." Ryoga said.

"Well, we'll soon find out." Goku said.

The path continued it's way towards the dome, and it stopped the moment they stood right in front of it. Suddenly the same voice that had asked what they had wanted spoke again "Will you please identify yourselves?"

"We're the Yellow Team!" Goku said proudly.

"The Yellow Team, that makes no sense, could you please identify individually?"

"I'm Goku!"

"Ash!"

"Pikachu!"

"Izzy!"

"Tentomon!"

"Ryoga!"

"Freya."

"Is this your first time in Jayne?"

"Yes."

"Please select one of the following options that best describes the purpose of your visit. a) I'm here on vacation and want to spend a good time. b) I have friends and/or family in Jayne and I'd like to visit. c) I'm on a business trip. d) I want to invade Jayne and/or kill it's leader the great Gustav XV."

Everyone had a sweatdrop, they looked at Goku, since he was the captain they felt he had to answer.

"Um... c?"

"You've chosen c, I'm on a business trip. Please select one of the following options that best describes your business in Jayne. a) I want to talk to one of the important and intelligent businessmen of Jayne. b) I plan to open a business in the economically successful city of Jayne. c) I want to export my products to the economically successful city of Jayne. d) I'm planning to sabotage the economically successful city of Jayne. e) Other."

"Boy that's a tough one... um E!"

"You've chosen E, please specify your business then."

"Um... we're looking for a badge."

"................... you are looking for a badge. Please choose the option that best describes the type of badge you are looking for. a) A merit badge. b) A sports badge. c) A military badge. d) Other."

"D!!" Goku was getting a bit frustrated.

"You've chosen D, please specify the type of badge you're looking for."

"An Ultimate Challenge badge!!"

"................... you are looking for an ultimate challenge badge. We have no record of an Ultimate Challenge badge. You however can still enter the city of Jayne if you wish to look for an Ultimate Challenge badge yourselves. Do you wish to enter the city of Jayne?"

Everyone yelled "YES!!"

"Please choose the option that best describes the amount of time that you plan to stay in the economically successful city of Jayne. a) One hour. b) one to five days. c) Five to Ten days. d) The rest of your life."

"b..." Goku said, all the excitement in his voice was gone.

"You've chosen B, would you like to arrange sleeping quarters during your stay in the economically successful city of Jayne?"

Everyone stayed quiet for a moment, finally Goku said "If we say no, will you stop asking questions?"

".................... No, you must follow the procedure. If you do not wish to arrange sleeping quarters then you'll have to specify the place where you plan to perform the act of sleeping."

"Um... in that case yes."

"You've chosen to arrange your sleeping quarters, please choose the option that best describes the type of bed you like. a) soft. b) very soft c) extremely soft d) hard e) very hard."

Izzy sat down "My head hurts."

51 questions later...

"Congratulations! You may now enter the economically successful city of Jayne."

The Yellow Team cheered. Suddenly the path resumed moving and they went right through the dome.

"Wow!" Ash said.

There were many tall building in the city of Jayne, and the path they had used to get there now divided in many different paths leading the every point in the city. There didn't seem to be any vehicles, the paths led everywhere. Once they arrived at the first point where the path divided they heard that same voice again.

"Please choose the option the best describes your destination. a) My prearranged sleeping quarters b) The mall of the economically successful city of Jayne. c) The hospital of the economically successful city of Jayne d)"

Freya couldn't take it anymore "WILL YOU SHUT UP!?!?"

".................................................... Do you wish to turn off the automatic guide to the economically successful city of Jayne?"

"YES!!"

"Please choose the option that best describes your reason for turning off the automatic guide to the economically successful city of Jayne. a) I am experienced in finding my way through the economically successful city of Jayne b) I have a sense of adventure c) I am sick of hearing the automatic guide of the economically successful city of Jayne."

Everyone yelled "C!!!"

"You've chosen C, do you wish to file a complaint about the automatic guide to the economically successful city of Jayne?"

Ryoga said "Is there an end to this?"

Goku held his stomach "I'm even hungry again."

"No." Freya finally responded.

"You've chosen to not file a complaint, do you wish to reactivate the automatic guide to the economically successful city of Jayne at a designated time?"

"NO!!!!"

"You've chosen No, are you sure you do not wish to reactivate the automatic guide to the economically successful city of Jayne at a designated time?"

"YES!!!"

"...................................................... Now you've hurt my feelings."

Everyone went *plop*

Once they freed themselves for the automatic guide of blah blah blah they followed a path to the mall. They figured it was a good place for ask for information and once again get something to eat. Unfortunately when they arrived at the mall they saw a sign saying 'No pokemon allowed outside of their pokeballs."

"Oh-oh," said Ash "Pikachu it looks like you have to go into a pokeball or stay outside."

"Pika! Pikachu!"

Tentomon translated "He says he prefers to stay outside."

"Aw... come on Pikachu!"

"Pika!"

"Well... guess I'll stay outside with Pikachu."

"Are you sure Ash?" Ryoga asked.

"Yeah, I don't mind."

"Ok."

The rest of the Yellow Team entered the mall, but when Tentomon tried to enter he crashed with an invisible barrier. Then the sign got brighter. Izzy walked back outside "Looks like you aren't allowed in either."

"But I'm not a pokemon!!"

"Well... the computer must not be able to tell the difference."

"That's not fair!"

"Don't worry Tentomon, Ash and Pikachu will keep you company." Izzy walked back inside.

Ash, Pikachu and Tentomon waited for a moment just standing there.

"You know this place is kinda creepy, I still haven't seen anyone."

"Yeah, it feels like this place is deserted." Tentomon said.

"Pika..."

"Maybe we can find somebody if we look around."

"Good idea."

They walked around the mall looking for someone, they finally found a group of people behind the mall in what looked like a park. The people looked very odd, everyone was dressed the same, women dressed in a white short skirt, a black top with a very small white vest on top, a black belt, gloves that reached their elbows and boots, men dressed in a white body suit with the same black belt, gloves and boots.

"Um... those clothes look kinda familiar." Ash said

"What a weird way to dress, do you think it's a school uniform?" Tentomon said

"But everyone young and old is dressed the same."

"Um... this is a very weird place."

Just then Ash saw something that caught his attention, a couple of kids stood in front of each other in what looked like some sort of ring. Then they took out their pokeballs and then let their pokemon out.

"It's a pokemon match!"

"Pika!!"

Ash and Pikachu ran to watch.

"Ash... do we really have time for this?"

But Ash didn't listen to Tentomon, he wanted to watch the two trainers go at it. One had a Beedrill while the other used a Natu. They fought each other for a couple of minutes but it was an easy victory for the Natu. The loosing trainer left running.

The winner smiled at himself and was ready to leave when suddenly Ash shouted "Hey! Are you still up for another match?"

The boy looked at Ash, he wondered why he was dressed so oddly. "Who are you?"

"My name is Ash Ketchum, and I'm a pokemon trainer. Want to battle?"

The boy smiled "Are you going to use that weird pokemon?"

"Pikachu? what's weird about him?"

"Pika?"

"Not your pikachu, I mean that bug pokemon, I've never seen that one."

Tentomon had a sweatdrop.

"Um... no you got it wrong. In any case no."

"Ok, but I hope you aren't a bad loser."

"I hope you aren't one either."

The two trainers took their positions.

"Ash!" Tentomon said "What if the others exit the mall and don't see us?"

"This will only take a minute!"

The other trainer took out a pokeball and let out his pokemon "Octillery! I choose you!"

"Wow! An octillery! but I've got something special for you! Dragonair! I choose you!"

Ash threw his pokeball and out came Dragonair, she looked a bit nervous.

"Ash..." Tentomon said "are you sure that's a good idea? don't you remember what she said about evolving to soon?"

"Tentomon, Tentomon, Tentomon... you don't know anything about Pokemon training."

Tentomon had a sweatdrop "I guess not, but don't you think."

"It's not how you think, it's how you feel. Let me show you, Dragonair, Dragon Rage!"

Dragonair just looked at Ash confused.

The other kid took the opportunity"Octillery! Bubble beam!"

Octillery shot a series of bubbles that hit Dragonair and exploded on impact. Dragonair fell down because of the impact.

"Dragonair?"

Dragonair got up and flew slightly above the ground.

"That's the spirit, maybe I asked for a bit much."

"Octillery! Psybeam!"

The octillery shot a psychic beam at Dragonair.

"Dragonair! Protect!"

Dragonair started to move around, Ash didn't know what it was trying to do, but apparently nothing since she got hit and ended back on the ground.

"What kind of training have you given that dragonair?"

"She's just warming up!"

Dragonair got up again, but she didn't look very determined.

"Dragonair, let's try something real basic. Try a head butt!"

Dragonair charged at Octillery, she flew right above him and suddenly charged down and then... ***SMASH!!!***

"That was a great head butt!!" Tentomon said "and it would have been better if she had hit octillery instead of the ground."

The other trainer started laughing real hard, he recalled his pokemon and left without saying a word, just laughing all the way.

Dragonair just laid on the ground dazed.

"Um.. Dragonair," Ash said as he pointed the pokeball "I guess we better start training on some basic moves." He recalled her and put the pokeball away.

"Um... Ash?" Tentomon said.

"Yes?"

"I told you so."

"Shut up."

"Pika..." Pikachu had a sweatdrop.

Once inside the rest of the Yellow Team splat up in two, Freya and Goku checked the top floor while Izzy and Ryoga checked the bottom floor. Inside the mall there was a lot more people than outside, but they were all dressed the same. The stores were also weird, they weren't regular shops, they looked more like ATM machines, people would just walk up to one, insert a card, press a few buttons, and a bag would appear right by them.

Izzy and Ryoga were walking around looking for somebody who could when a large image of a man appeared on a wall. A lot of people gathered around to look at him.

"Greeting people of New Jayne, this is your ruler Gustav XV. I'm sure you all know today we celebrate the 300th anniversary of the day our heroes got rid of the forces of evil. Let us rejoice while we remember the beautiful Jessie and the brave James fighting the evil lord Vivi and his demons."

"Vivi?" Ryoga asked.

"It must be a coincidence." Izzy said "Vivi doesn't have 300 years."

"Yeah... you're right."

Suddenly they both heard "Mew..."

They turned around but didn't see anything, they both figured they had imagined it.

A moment later the Yellow Team regrouped outside of the mall.

"Did you guys find out anything?" Ash asked.

"Other than the fact this place is really weird?" Freya said "No."

"Let's look someplace else." Izzy said.

"Right." Goku said, yet he didn't seem to have as much energy as he usually had.

The Yellow Team continued to look around.

Vegeta floated above the dome, he had been assigned the job of looking for Mew. TK had confirmed that he was indeed there. "Damn you Kakarot! Why did you have to come here!?"

Sora and Biyomon were still outside of the dome, they were following procedure to get inside.

"Please choose the option the best describes your mood in the morning. a) Grumpy. b) Cheerful. c) Depressive. d) Mildly neurotic. e)..."

Sora talked to the camera while the computer listed the rest of the options. "Well it looks like I won't get inside for a while, so instead of having you listen to all this boring questions, I'm going to send you to Brock to see what the Red Team is up to okay? See ya tomorrow."

Biyomon was asleep.
