   Summary

   Maxie and Archie are summoned to the Battle Maison and reluctantly agree to a double battle against May and Brendan. Things get complicated when they're stuck sharing a room before the match, unable to leave due to the manhunt for them outside the facility. Shenanigans ensue when their Mightyenas begin to get on a little too well, and they attempt to hide the undesired lingering effects of their encounters with Legendary Pokémon. Some scars run deeper than the surface, and some bonds can break barriers unknown. Maybe what they had been searching for was in front of them all along.
