It was just a normal day at the Wright Anything Agency. Phoenix was at his desk, Trucy practicing her illusions, and Athena and Apollo playing Pokemon X and Y on their Nintendo 3DS's, with Athena playing Y and Apollo X. A few minutes later, Pearl came in with some good news.

Pearl: Mr. Nick! I have some good news for you!
Phoenix: What is it now, Pearls? I'm busy here!
Apollo: Dang it, Pearls! You startled me, I chose the wrong move!
Athena: You know what, I'm tired of VS battles. What is it, Pearly?
Pearl: You won't believe this, but Mystic Maya invited us to stay at Kurain Village for a week! It's going to be lots of fun, and we'll even hang out at the Kurain Beach!
Phoenix: Don't tell me this is just an excuse to get me near Maya.
Athena: Of course not, Mr. Wright? Widget says that Pearly's not lying. Isn't that right, Widget.
Widget: Yeah, right.

Just then, Athena slapped Widget across the face with two fingers.

Athena: Widget! Shut your voice chip! I didn't program you to act like this! "Yeah, right"? Do something like that again, and I'll delete your AI code!
Apollo: Meh. Robots. Am I right?
Athena: *sigh* Tell me about it.
Phoenix: All right, Pearls. We'll go.
Athena: YES! Let's go!
Apollo: Here comes Justice!
Phoenix: Uh, we're not at court, so you don't need to shout.
Pearl: But, Mr. Nick, you just said "Hold it!"
Phoenix:

While they were on the train, Athena asked to Apollo,

Athena: So, what do you think of Junie, Apollo?
Apollo: I think she's a really nice person. And I know that she loves me.
Athena: But do you love her back?
Apollo: Well...... yes, but...... I love someone else more.
Athena: Who?
Apollo: You'll find out once we arrive.

Then, the agency crew arrived at the Village, where they were greeted by the future Master of the KCT (Kurain Channeling Technique), Maya Fey.

Maya: Nick!
Phoenix: Maya!

Maya hugs Phoenix.
