The inside of the gala was much bigger then Dante had thought. Then again he had never been to a contest hall before so he hadn't been quite sure what to expect. Ok first line of business was to find his mom and ask her why he had to wear a dress to this thing. Looking around the hall hoping to find the tall redheaded woman Dante cursed his average height before sighing and figuring that she might be near one of the booths. Carefully he made his way over Hera following him while looking at all the people in funny clothes.
Dante didn't have to look long, or really not at all before he heard his mothers familiar voice call out for him. "Oh there you are sweat heart!" Violet cried as she dashed over to her as of the moment dress clad son. "Oh sweetie you look as good as always!" She said her voice filled with pride as she inspected him for a moment before pulling him into a hug. "Oh mommy missed you so much!"
"Erk!" Was all Dante could say as his lungs suddenly didn't have any air in them. When his mom finally let go of him Dante couldn't help but he a little horrified at the outfit she was wearing. He knew his mom didn't have a shred of modesty in her but really! Violets own dress was a bright red that matched her hair color and happened to be skin tight not really leaving much of anything to the imagination. The long gown had a slit running all the way up to the top of her thigh that Dante wished wasn't there. "Mom, what are you wearing?"
"Oh you like it?" The beautiful woman backed up and spun around once just so he could get a better look at it, something he did not want. "A designer made it for me just for tonight."
"Gah, isn't it a bit tight?" He muttered trying to look away, this was really something he did not need to see.
"Hmm maybe a little, still it looks good on me right."
"Gah." Was all Dante could say in response not wanting to look at his mom anymore.
~~~~~~~
"Your right on that account Misty! All right Raz lets just burst through that Water Pulse with your Quick Attack!" Robin laughed from the sidelines enjoying every second of this battle. It didn't matter to her who won or lost anymore all that mattered right now was all the fun she was having.
Well bursting right through Water Pulse sounded like it would hurt. Still Raz wasn't really one to question Robin's 'tactics' to much so he just gathered up his strength and speed before taking off. The speedy Yanma with all his Speed Boosts seemed to become a blur at the rate he took off towards the Starmie.

Though she tried, she couldn't contain the little laugh that escaped when the girl said that her friend had been being an idiot. She cast a glance towards the red head and smirked. "Yeah I know how that is," she said, sitting down in the chair across from Sam. "I'm Riza," she said with a nod, glancing back over at the obnoxious red head. "I don't know about fun...but he's...something, that's for sure." She sighed and shook her head. "If you're here all alone you can come and join us if you want," she added. "It's not saying much but we're probably one of the sanest groups in the place. Not to mention none of us is guilty of dressing up like a freak," she chuckled, grinning as a larger woman wearing a very loud dress that seemed to mirror the design of a Ludicolo passed by, shooting Riza an annoyed glance in the process. "What, did some of these people think it was a costume party or something?"

Sam smiled at her relaxed and happy manner. "He's a bad boy type or something?" She looked over to the group, which, she had to admit, looked appealing. 'Why not? Be social for once in your life' She smiled again at the Ludicolo lady, though this smile was more of a smirk. "I think I'll take you up on that offer Riza. Thank you very much. I'm not sure, I think I've seen every form of 'fashion'" putting air quotes around the word, "there is."

Leon made his way to Oldale, a bored expression on his face. His parents had wanted him around Pokemon closer to the level of Muuma, and thus had insisted on dropping him off at the usual starter town, and he hadn't really felt like, or seen the point in, arguing, so once they'd gotten there, he didn't hesitate to heading to the next town. Muuma was tucked safely away in her PokeBall for the moment, but that wouldn't last long as he stepped in a patch of tall grass and a wild Zigzagoon wandered out in front of him.
"Time to get some exercise," He said as he nonchalantly tossed up Muuma's PokeBall, the Ghost-type appearing in the usual beam of red light. "Astonish." His tone was almost bored as the Misdreavus attacked the unsuspecting Pokemon before them, which let out a cry of surprise as Misdreavus hit it dead-on with the attack. It had been paying absolutely no attention to the two, which could be said was a mistake on its' part.

Train awoke to sunlight streaming through the window and into her room, as she'd forgotten to pull the shade down before she'd gone to bed. She must have been exhausted the night before to forget; she usually hated being able to see outside when it was dark, as the shadows always seem to create creepy images everywhere.
Oh well, she didn't mind it, obviously. She rolled from her side onto her back and stared at the ceiling for a moment, glancing at Pikachu, who was still curled up on the pillow beside hers, before yawning and stretching out. She was still awfully tired, but she really needed to get to training. Train sat up and stretched again, which was, of course, followed by another yawn, before poking Pikachu side and saying, "C'mon, buddy, time to get up." and smiling as the little electric mouse yawned real big and opened his eyes, blinking a few times as they adjusted to the light. "Ready to get back to training? Train asked her Pokemon, who nodded and let out a happy, yet tired, cry in response, causing her smile to widen a bit.

Kilik smiled when he saw her blush, and it made his stomach do a flip for a second. As he walked down the hall, he used his free hand to fidget with his monocle. He sure felt dashing, and the girl on his arm made him feel even more so. "Ahaha. I know for sure I don't have the money to pay these people. Maybe if I channeled my inner Rocket..." he whispered the last part to her with a light laugh. "I'm just kidding." He heard the familiar coo of an Elekid and his face lit up like a Christmas tree. He walked her down the hall into a large room, filled with Pokemon. "Some Breeder," Kilik said, leaning down a bit to get a better look at the Elekid. "It's coat doesn't even look half as glossy as mine did when Cable hatched." The boy looked up at Mitsu and straightened up, taking her hand in his, examining all the Pokemon. "Good thing the snooty guy who probably bred that Elekid didn't hear me." He snickered.
"Check that out!" Kilik said, pointing to a row of Sinnoh Pokemon. They were all unfamiliar to him, excluding the three Pokemon that Rowan showcased at the Beach Party. "Turtwig, Chimchar and Piplup!" He reached a gloved hand out and caressed the Chimchar's head, and received a happy eep-eep from it. He stuffed his other hand into his pocket and looked over at Mitsu. "I can't wait to have one."
-*-
Giovanni looked her up and down. "Yes. I don't know, to be honest," he sighed. He felt a strange feeling brewing in his heart. His eyes began to sting with what felt like tears - something he hadn't felt since the day he watched his mother die. "I don't know how long I can continue to avoid capture. I can pay off the cops all I wish, to keep running this Gym. They know of the things I've done. They know of the crimes I've committed, but..." his stomach twisted. "I can shut them up with money. That's what you should take to heart from me, Mai. Anyone can be bought. What the police don't know about are the scientific experiments that are being conducted beneath the Gym. However, no amount of money could cover me should they ever find out. So, Mai, should I..." he clenched his fist so tightly that it began to sting and even bleed a bit, "should I be..." a heavy sigh escaped him.
"Should I be captured, I'm leaving it up to you to not only continue Team Rocket but to carry on my legacy. Throughout the world, they know the name Giovanni. They fear it..." He stood up, wiping his eyes on his sleeve. "But for how much longer? Soon, when...or whenever I am gone, they will learn to fear Mai." Giovanni smirked, placing a reassuring hand on the woman's shoulder.

Serenity found that her temper was unnaturally short. There were only a few people in the line ahead of her, but she found that by the time she got to the front of the line she was cursing everyone. Under her breath of course. She was in no mood to start a fight today. There had been more than enough of that nonsense going around yesterday.
"Hi Kasiya." She whispered when she finally got to the front of the line. "It's good to see you here. Athough I thought you'd be one of the ones in the pretty dresses." Sere found her face going red. "Can I get a Shirley Temple please? and also a 7-up?"

Riza smiled. "Well, he's not a bad boy per se," she giggled, shrugging. "He's just a guy." She was strangely glad to hear that Sam was okay with joining them and she stood up, though in truth their group wasn't much more than just her, Keegan and Serenity. Though now that she was up at her full height Riza caught sight of the little egg pouch Sam was holding, and it piqued her interest though she decided not to ask about it just yet. She was curious, yes, but she didn't want to appear nosy. "Well come on, I'll introduce you, Sam," Riza said, leading the way towards their table, wondering if Keegan had finished eating yet.

Sam followed behind Riza, thinking about the egg again. She had noticed Riza's curiousity. "I don't know what it is..." she said quietly, half to Riza, half to herself. She saw the guy in question sitting at the table, with his plates in front of him. She waited for Riza to introduce her, too shy to introduce herself.

Mitsu laughed at his little Rocket joke though it pricked a thought in the back of her mind. She mentally shook her head, casting the thought away as quickly as she could. She couldn't afford to lose it now, especially not in this fancy place. Just breathe and forget about it she thought mentally smiling though her head gave a few good poundings before calming downs. Luckily the headache didn't seem to be here to stay.
Mitsu followed Kilik to the table with the Elekid, who apparently didn't live up to Kilik's standards. Mitsu smiled. "I'm pretty sure no Elekid or Electabuzz could ever live up to Cable's standards," she replied with a small laugh. Cable, after all, was Kilik's pride and joy. She herself gave the Electric Pokemon a few pats on the head and a smile. It may not have been exceptionally bred, but it was still a Pokemon and it still deserved some positive attention.
She moved to the next table with him, hand in hand. She had missed then seminar though Kilik seemed to know three of the Sinnoh Pokemon. Judging by their names she guessed that Turtwig was the Grass type, Chimchar the Fire, and Piplup the Water. "Maybe you can commission one later? I'm sure there's someone here you can probably get one from," she replied her eyes still on the Turtwig. Mitsu gently scratched the Tiny Leaf Pokemon's head. It closed it's eyes and cooed. "Personally, I think this little guy is just adorable," she said imagining herself with one during her travels in Sinnoh.

The Zigzagoon rolled back up onto it's feet, blinking, and appearing just as fit as before. Muuma floated back and forth, confused as to why the creature appeared to have taken no damage, while Leon just muttered something incoherent--probably a curse--embarrassed even though no one was around to see it.
At this point, the Zigzagoon jumped at Muuma via a Tackle attack, but got another little surprise as it went straight through the Screech Pokèmon. Leon gave a little sigh; at least these little fail attacks were going both ways. "Try a Psywave," He commanded his Misdreavus, who easily complied, sending out the multi-coloured rings towards her opponent, who let out another little cry. This time, Leon could definately tell that this was a cry of pain, and not just surprise. "Good job, Muuma."

The redhead glanced up as Riza approached the table again, this time bringing with her the same girl he'd seen earlier. He'd been too busy eating to really notice anything that had been going on around him, though now that his plates were (nearly) empty he discovered that he was now thirsty. Standing up, he brushed the crumbs from his tux and looked down towards the new girl. "Name's Keegan," he said, extending his hand in a somewhat friendly manner, though he tossed a glance in Riza's direction. "Since when are you so sociable, anyway?" he asked sarcastically, aware of the fact that Riza, like him, didn't exactly go out of her way to make friends. "Anyway, I'm going to get something to drink. Can I get you ladies anything?"

Riza just rolled her eyes and shook her head. "This is Sam, and since when is it a crime for me to make new friends?" She plopped down in the same chair she'd been sitting in earlier and folded her arms in an annoyed manner. "And no thank you, Serenity's getting something for me already. What about you, Sam? He's actually being nice for once, so you should probably take advantage of that," she added, though the tone of her voice indicated that she was only joking.

Sam was somewhat intimidated by Keegan, but she shook his hand anyways. "Um...could you see if they have any root beer? If not, then that's okay, I don't really need anything, but thank you." She sat down next to Riza, and took a deep breath. She giggled at the good-natured bickering between Riza and Keegan. "So we're just a bunch of anti-social people being social? Are you enjoying the Gala?"

It didn't take long for Train to be out of the room and back onto Route 3, and already she was wandering through the patches of grass. After having no luck for a few minutes, she unclipped Oddish's PokeBall from her belt and pressed the button, releasing the timid little Pokèmon into the grass. She crouched down while the poor thing shook, cringing when Train reached out her hand to pat her on the head. "Don't worry," Train said soothingly. "I just want to make you big and strong, so you won't have to be afraid anymore." She stood up again and said, "Can you use your Sweet Scent, please? looking down at the little Oddish, who hesitantly began to release a drawing aroma into the air around her. Shortly after, and Spearow hopped towards them in the grass, trying to figure out where the pleasent scent was coming from.
"Awesome. This is your chance, Oddish! Use Acid!" Train commanded, watching happily as Oddish sprayed the bird Pokèmon in front of them with the attack.
