(Leonard and Claire)
"Hah, how'd you guess?" the man laughed, spearing another eggroll onto his plate. "But no, I'm from Celadon. Just went over there for a visit.. I wanted to see what their torunaments were like. Ace didn't do too badly, did you, Ace?" He grinned sidelong at the bird. "Even won us a new teammate."
"Cladalia?" he repeated. "That's.. very unique. I'll remember it." He winked at Claire, shortly before she excused herself to calm the Pidgeot - or perhaps herself. "I'm Ethan. Nice to meet you, Kenneth." He extended his free hand to shake while Ace absolutely positively in no way shape or form watched the girl with the pretty Pidgeot go. Not even between his wing feathers as he was struck by a sudden urge to preen.

(Couple)
Had Sorano's eyes been open, he would have blinked. A man with a vision . . . ? Didn't that sound a tad bit familiar? Well, to Sorano, it didn't. He simply remarked Tethys' interjection with a mild grin.
"Sinno'? Ah, I've neva been there a'fore- before. I've 'eard quite a bit of interestin' thin's 'bout there though. Is it true there be a town here 'overed in flowas?"
Sorano caught the sight of a Dragonair and marveled at the lustrous orbs under its chin and beaded onto the end of its tail. My, slice those things off, polish 'em up, and they'd look great on a necklace.

(Liam)
They proceeded to the floor to join the other couples. She placed one hand on his arm and raised the other to meet his, locking their fingers. She followed Liam's lead relatively simply; her mind was racing, and she worried that if she attempted flashier steps, she would stumble.
When they were clear from any potentially prying ears, Aila spoke, though her voice was quiet. "Sorry about before. That man, I'll tell you about him after the mission." It was a dangerous environment in which to speak of such things. "I've got a task to do while we're here. It'll leave you on your own for a while. We should secure another target before that happens." Her volume continued to decrease as she spoke, and a cordial smile concealed any ill intention her words contained. It was a bit shoddy as far as an explanation went, but there would be time for proper explanations later on.

(Monocle man)
Lips parted slightly, eye brows arching up over her eyes when she was told that he helped make these events a reality, every single one.
Now this was promising.
she turned and smiled at the Noctowl, bowing her head in greeting to it, old, then it was experienced.
"I do" her hand fell, her hand gestured an introduction to the Umbreon that was sitting by her side.
"This is Florence" She just blurted the first name that came to her mind, since everyone here seemed to have names for there pokemon.
Umbreon's eye lids droop just slightly, did his master just call him Florence....
"It is truly and honor to meet you Sir, the both us of" she said glancing down at her Umbreon again.

(Sao: Darwin/Moloch, and Dante: The dragonair)
Ran's feathers ruffled as Darwin began dancing with another pokemon. Well that was just fine! If her human was dancing, and Darwin found a new partner, she would just find a new one as well! She shook her feathers and settled them. The sparkling strands around her neck swaying as she looked about for a better dance partner then that Electivire fake when her eyes settled on a dragonair. Sure, there were lots of people around, but Ran was not deterred by people and hopped closer towards the pokemon that was being showed off.
"Pi pigott?" She spread her wings as much as the crowd allowed her to and bowed as she had before. ("care to dance?")

@Aila
While it most certainly was not his element, Liam found that the steady rythym of the tango suited his brain just fine. It was no harder than milking a Miltank back home, at the very least. Besides, it gave him a chance to let his body do the work and survey the room with a few twists here and there. Aila's reaction to this 'Leon' character had surprised him, but it was easy to see that he was someone of importance in her life and someone of importance at tonight's events, so it could just be a mark she had chosen to take personally.
"Yes, yes, of course," he mumbled, still very much in character, whether he liked it or not. "Targets, targets..."
It wasn't easy to see over the heads of the rest of the guests, but trhough the throng he spotted a few likely candidates. He spotted one girl with long pink hair and a huge smile just barely covering a sneer. He vaguely recognized her and the Skitty that pranced around cutely at her feet, but he couldn't put a finger on it. He swished Aila closer to scope her out more clearly, only to hear her practically growling in the Skitty's direction. "Cut it the f**k out, Eros, you little dips**t. Don't you f*****g dare ruin this night for me, dammit."
And he quickly swished away again. No way was he going anywhere near that. Looking around again, his eye quickly caught a positively radiant Dragonair with deep purple crystals hanging from its neck, but noticed Mau already swooping in to schmooze with its owner.
"Huh... looks like the room's pretty much covered... Do you see anyone?"

(serena and Cal)
His eyebrows raised. "From Ecruteak? It sounds like he already has quiet the name for himself." he knew of the place, his mother never seemed to be quiet about it. They were well known for their Ghost gym and the bell sprout tower. He listened intently to what she said, Vuples would a fine prize indeed if they managed to steal it.
Suddenly the music change to Tango, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised. He had hoped to be able to spend more time talking with her, but he couldn't let her leave the floor yet. "It's been a while since I danced the tango, but I would love to try my hand at it again. Would you do me the honors of a second dance Miss Serena?" he paused long enough to give her a small bow with the request.
Shade sensed trouble, and puffed up, doing his best to look insulted. He had never been to a Pokemon Ball before, but the tone the ninetails used against his great master got his liquids gas boiling. he only remembered to use the name because Panther had been practicing answering to it before the ball for a week.

(Seth and Darwin)
Nadja started to say something and stopped, attention diverted as Seth led her through a challenging turn, made moreso by doing it backwards and in heels. That was probably on purpose, but it was well enough to remind her you didn't mix work and personal affairs.
"This isn't the time for this," was all she muttered before turning her attention to the dance. Seth was a practiced dancer, but he surprised her enough that it was beginning to feel familiar - the slight thrill of a new challenge.. and she knew very well what to do with challenges.
She could be angry at him later.
An extra sashay entered the redhead's step. Leading with her hips, she followed him, eyes intent on her partner's face.
The slim fingers of one hand kept close contact with the back of his shoulder, pulled away as her arm made a graceful arc on a stride and found his hand again. Nadja's steps were fluid, sharply defined, her body responding to subtle signals from his fingers as she was spun out, adding a complicated figure-eight flourish to her step.
She was smirking at him.
"Aurr." Moloch gave Darwin a look that said very clearly 'Why you do this?' and tried to shake his paw free. He didn't have time for dancing! He had to make sure That Man wasn't doing anything to his person he needed to bite him for. Not that he would until he was ordered. But he should be there to offer the possibility of biting.

{Sorano}
Deimos smirked and nodded, idly stroking one of the blossoms on his shaymin, "Floaroma, yes. Quite a thing to behold. You should visit."
{Ran}
The dragonair's long body was coiled in a circle on the floor around her trainer while she held her head high, looking very distinguished and important.
When Ran approached she sniffed disdainfully. {I'm busy}.

@Couple
"I would love ta. I'll definitely keep in on me mind."
The conversation seemed to be getting a tad bit dry on Sorano's end. Not only was it the fact that he believed he was slowly losing their interest, but because his attention was suddenly diverted elsewhere. He had been at that fabulous gala a good length of time and had not once stepped upon the dance floor. Searching, he did not discover the form of his partner. Damn! If she was there, she would have made a great dance partner.
With a slight wince, he turned back to the pair and considered Miss Tethys.
"Gosh," he remarked to himself in thought. "Dancin' with 'er might be like draggin' a broomstick 'cross tha floor. Augh, but I be a desperate man. Migh' as 'ell?"
Rolling his wrist out towards the blue haired woman, he bent at the waist and inwardly sighed.
"I'm sorry if this be a tad bit sudden." he said and pursed his lips. He really wished Lili were there right now! "But I was hopin' you'd join me in a dance? I 'ould love ta if you don' mind."

(Aila and Liam)
'Leon' had disappeared from view for a time, but suddenly there he was again, passing by Aila and Liam with the brunette woman in his arms. Their hands, loosely clasped, showed matching wedding rings. She was murmuring something to him, eyes filled with a warm fondness, and he was laughing as he took her through a turn. Their little girl was tugging at the hand of a bodyguard who was doing his best to remain stoic.
"Jean-Paul, please?" The child turned rose-colored eyes up at him in entreaty, and that was the final straw. The bulky, black-suited man let her stand on the tops of his well-polished shoes as he led her in a small circle at the edge of the dance floor, doing his best to keep a straight professional face.
Somewhere from the buffet table there was a piercing trill of laughter. Isadora was still about.

(Dante/Dragonair and Sao)
Busy? Maybe busy being useless. Were all human raised pokemon like this? No, that's not right. Nuu wasn't- ok not the best comparison. Still, The Pidgeott was irked by the dragonair's snooty reply. She threw her head back with a huff. ("Busy looking like loosely coiled arcanine droppings maybe.") She rolled her eyes.
Mau smirked at Nyx. "Sssssh..." She was, and it was sort of obvious, but with the more demanding dance, one that Nyx didn't know, her attention was at least drawn back. "I'm going to dip you backwards." He whispered. Two beats later, her leaned Nyx back, arching over her. It looked like he was about to kiss her throat when he whispered to her. "That dragonair." His eyes flickered to the pokemon Ran was near.

[Nadja]
Seth just smirked at her statement, but said nothing in return. He allowed his movements to speak for him. As did she apparently as the woman's movements became decidedly aggressive and perhaps even competitive? Ha! This suited him just fine.
Nadja was perhaps one of the best dancing partners he'd ever had. They'd never really danced like this together before, and yet she was taking his cues easily. His powerful, yet fluid strides continued to take them across the floor, then suddenly changed direction again. A flash of movement and he turned her about so that her back was against him. His hand moving down her torso, just a hairsbreadth away from actually touching her. Then, on a musical cue, with a flick of his wrist, he sent her into another spin. This time he released her hand to send her path away from him, and abruptly turned his back to her for a split second.
After a succession of staccato, Seth turned again to face her, his smirk having broadened into a sly grin. Now it was on.

[Faleen]
"Ah!" The gentleman exclaimed as he bent over to get a better look at "Florence."
"What a fine specimen you have there! Appears to be well trained at that. You must have a strong bond with this Umbreon, indeed."
The old man nodded sagely at this, while Hermes tilted his head sideways.
"Oh no no, the honor is mine."

(Liam and Leon&Family)
Aila frowned slightly as she cast a scrutinizing glance around the room. A sudden and unmistakable peal of laughter sounded from elsewhere in the room. "Sounds like Isadora's still around," she suggested. If all else failed, Liam could work together with one of the Rockets handling their mark alone, such as Faleen with the Noctowl or Sorano with the Shaymin. Casually she guided their dance closer to the source of the woman's boisterous voice, but her goal was by and large intercepted when Leon passed them. She watched him with bitter scorn. What gave him the right to be so happy? To have such a perfect and loving family...? Momentarily transfixed, she broke form. "Sorry," she apologized again; there seemed to be a lot of cause for that tonight. "Shall I leave this to you?" She wanted to - at this point, needed to - keep a closer eye on that man.
