Bashin Episode 08

The eighth episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Shounen Toppa Bashin
Bashin's class is going to Kyoto on a trip, but Meganeko is left behind.
==Summary==
While watching Battle Spirits TV, Aibou likens the immaturity of Commentator-san to Bashin. Thinking that Bashin still isn't awake for school, he goes to his room. However, Aibou realizes that Bashin already left, as it was the day of his class trip to Kyoto, and rushes out to catch up
Meanwhile, Meganeko did oversleep. She scrambles to get her things ready and catch the bus on time. Her grandfather was anticipating a day to relax once Meganeko was gone, but when he opens the door, he throws out his back and falls. When Meganeko notices, she's too upset to leave. Fortunately, Bashin's mother finds him, and takes him to the hospital.
Meganeko tries to make it to school, but is next distracted by a huge amount of traffic. A nazo-otona, who was delivering high-ranker passes but got lost, was partially responsible for this.
The bus soon leaves, and Bashin and his classmates are excited to meet the rumored bus guide. However, the guide turns out to be an AI, to everyone's disappointment. Bashin turns to talk to Meganeko about it, only to realize she's gone. Because the bus guide refuses to turn around, Bashin gets off it to look for her on his own. He finds Meganeko back at the school, but realizes they have no way of getting to Kyoto now.
The buses stop temporarily, near a Battle Spirits Center. Striker meets Card Sensei there, and asks him where Bashin is. Finding out that he and Meganeko were left behind, Striker is furious, and challenges Card Sensei to a match, to make him to back and look for them. Because Baito-san happens to be working at that center, he invites them in for a battle. Striker wins the battle, so Sensei is forced to go on a search with Baito-kun in a small car.
Bashin and Meganeko, meanwhile, are trying to hitchhike. Bashin's mother finds them, and gives them a ride. They stop for a bathroom break at the Battle Spirits Center from earlier, which the students now left. There, the nazo-otona from earlier attempts to try and get directions from Papa Navi. Bashin finds her, and upon realizing that he's a chosen card battler, she challenges him to a match.
Bashin wins, because the Nazo-Otona didn't expect for him to play an X-rare. Though throughout the match, she was only calling him "boy," she says she'll remember his name and meet him again at the Battle Spirits tournament.
Bashin and Meganeko finally catch up to Striker and the others in time for dinner.
