((Mau+OmgPleaseStopTalkingMan))
Oh. No.
She'd heard horror stories about this man while growing up in Vermilion. How could she have been so foolish? She'd lived right down the street from the fan club for years! Though, a rapidash was a very rare and valuable pokemon, she would probably die of boredom before she was able to steal it. How could he keep going like that? There weren't that many words in existence to describe something with...
Nyx looked around, desperately hoping that Mau would show up and rescue her. Darwin, however, took an interest in the man and stepped forward, leaning in closely to examine his face fur as he talked. "Bwrurur...."

Joining the collection of obnoxiously wealthy attendees bragging about their prized Pokémon, a short balding gentleman with a walrus moustache near the corner of the room was currently holding a gleaming emerald-colored Poké Ball as he announced to anyone who would listen that the without any question the device contained the most rare, beautiful and precious Pokémon in attendance tonight.
"Nothin' else in this room holds a candle to my sweet Loretta." He crooned in a thick southern accent, stroking the ball as curious onlookers guessed as to what rare Pokémon he'd brought.

@Faleen + Moustacho Man
"Ah, let's." he nodded too and began their expedition through the claustrophobic crowd. He stopped first when he saw a man stroking his Pokeball, squinted eyes darting to Faleen in alert. Target spotted.
Whinny toddled after her owner and held her quaint little paws to her face. "too bright!>" Whinny continued to whine, just positively happy she had a pair of ears to listen to her.

"I believe you are mistaken sir!" Came the voice of a refined middle aged woman who approached the braggart with the mustache. "I most definitely have the rarest and most beautiful Pokemon in this party!"
The woman, dressed in a lavish purple ball gown, approached with her own bejeweled Pokeball in hand.

Leonard instinctively let go of Claire's arm after her violent reaction, but regained his composure soon afterwards. He wasn't going to be rude like that again, but he wasn't going to let her walk over him either. That was asking for trouble. He even gave the Pidgeot his own hard stare, or at least tried to.
"Well I didn't want you to run off again." He replied. Speaking of running off, it looked like something grabbed Steve's attention and he had to turn away from Claire to chase after him. Luckily the Leafeon was barely a couple feet away and Leonard scooped him up in his arms. Steve was no lightweight and the position he was holding him in was awkward, but he really didn't want him to sneak off and eat all the food or something.
"But whatever. Shall we... see what they're serving over there?" He nodded towards the tables covered in platters of food.

Sorano& Moustacho Man& Middle Aged Women
Faleen followed Sorano's gaze, spotting a very rich looking man, one that liked to show it off to.
She took a moment to see if she recognized him, she didn't, but she knew people came from over seas to attend this ball.
Lifting her chin up a little and nodding to Sorano, making there way over to the man and the emerald covered ball.
Putting on a warm smile as they approached "Its hard to imagine any pokemon competing with such beautiful custom balls," She spoke as she drew closer, bowing her head in greeting to the middle aged women who challenged the mustache man's sincerity "Your pokemon must be something special to ear a holding such as that."
He shook his head at her they hurt a little.

(Seth)
"Phwor?" Moloch backpedaled a few steps, only just now noticing the gleam eyes Pokemon. The Arcanine drew some admiring looks from a passing trio of young women, though from the way they giggled and whispered to themselves they might well have been admiring the man at Nadja's arm.
Who was currently looking at a somewhat familiar someone else.
"Heel," the redhead said absently, following his line of sight. Her expression was.. complicated, but not at all pleased, and she drew herself up slightly in an unconscious motion. When Seth turned back to her, her expression was.. professional, cordial, and poised, but something was missing. "I believe we shall."
Her grip on his arm was firmly formal.

{Sorano, Faleen & Woman}
Mr. Mustache beamed at the attention from the challenging woman and Faleen. He held up the glistening ball. It shimmered tantalizingly under the light of the chandelier. "I'm sorry madam." He puffed up his chest proudly, "But none could dwarf Loretta's radiance."

(SAO! ... And non-santa.)
It took a moment before Mau found Nyx. She looked... quite different. Her hair was down, smooth. It actually looked quite nice... But, when did she get that pokemon...? Well, that wasn't important. She was glancing around and, wait, was that the chairman of the fanclub? As amusing as it would be to leave Nyx there, they were, somehow, supposed to be a couple tonight. He nodded to Ran before moving through the light crowd of people and pokemon, moving towards Nyx.
He caught the chairman speaking at length about one of his prized pokemon. Soon Mau was standing beside Nyx and gently took her hand.
"My apologies, chairman, for intruding" he said with a bow "but I'm afraid I must steal this lady away from you." He then brought Nyx's hand to his lips and pressed a kiss to her skin.

(Leonard)
Odette was clearly Not Impressed by his own stare, hers quickly turning to a combination of disdain for his behavior and a quirked brow in a sort of 'is that all you've got?' fashion. Clearly dismissing his threat as minimal, the bird thereafter ignored him, raising her head and even going so far as spread her wings a bit, making sure her feathers brushed against more than a few people in order to get their attention.
Claire was also clearly Not Impressed, but more by his behavior and way of speaking. Using the word 'whatever' in such a formal atmosphere was like taking a burger and french fries from some two-bit fast food place into the same formal atmosphere. You just didn't do it. One of her eyebrows raised as she watched Steve rush off, and she commented with a slightly sarcastic tone. "I don't think it's me you have to worry about running off." It wasn't like she'd run in, anyway. He just walked too slow. "Alright," she added after a moment, turning her gaze to the tables for a moment before looking back to Leonard and, in the proper fashion that everyone else had, she offered her arm to her partner. As much as she was inwardly dying to take the lead and go wherever she wanted, as she always did, she had a different role to play tonight, one that she wasn't really overall too comfortable with.

@ Sorano, Mr. Mustache and Middle-Aged Woman
"Ah, I agrees!" added Sorano after. He bowed a the waist too, the crick in his back loosening tenfold. "What beauty yer Pokemon must be! A Pokemon with such'a astoundin' lookin' owna too must be radiant." he complimented to the middle-aged woman, mouth souring.
"An' ta guess what's in yer Pokeball is such'a feat! My, me 'eart is just beatin' wantin' to know what's in tha' 'eautifully decorated 'asement. Can I give a guess ta what it might be?"
Arceus, kill him now.
Whinny sighed and edged off away from her owner, blanching at how he changed to dramatically. "" she whined s'more.

@ Leonard and Claire
A youngish-looking man with tanned skin and a bland face was sampling the caviar at the table, and smiled in a friendly way as he noticed Leonard and Claire approaching.
His Staraptor, behind him, puffed itself up in a display of dominance.

[ To Nyx and Mau ]
...
"Fantastically..."
"Gloriously..."
"Elegantly..."
"Scrumptiously...
"Sere- Huh?"
The chairman looked up at Mau as he interrupted his speech.
"Oh fine, fine. I apologize for taking up so much of your time, young lady. Here, take this!" He then offered Nyx a card which read: 'Good for one Bicycle at the Camphoreon Bike Shop.'
[ For Dante, Faleen, etc...]
"I must politely disagree!" The portly round woman retorted, although certainly pleased at the friendly competition and the attention it was garnering.
"My dear sweet Stephanie is the most adorable and lovely Pokemon you could ever hope to meet! Not to mention her rarity is second only to Mew!"
She then looked over to Sorano and grinned. "Guess away, good fellow!"

(( @ Ninetails lady by the drinks))
Cal surveyed the room, noting the rockets on the mission that she could see in her range of view. Nyx was being harrassed by a santa-looking man. If they were in a different setting, she would watch them from afar and laugh at the situation.
While scanning the crowd, she spotted a lone woman standing by the drink table with a rather impressive looking Ninetail. "Kato," She linked arms with Panther, "I think I'd fancy a drink. Would you?" She turned her body slightly toward the drink table and the Ninetails and hoped that he would get the hint.

(Sorano & Mustache Man & Middle Aged Women)
Well, so far Faleen wasn't impressed, if someone had to keep a pokemon in an overly fancy ball, and puff up its value before showing it off, the chances of it being genuinely amazing... were not favorable.
Had they something truly amazing, it would not be in a pokeball, and it would not have to be bragged upon. but still, it was worth a look at least eliminate them from Rocket interest if needed.
and who knew, maybe there was that slim chance they did have something worth the time.
She kept a polite smile on her face, letting Sorano speak, puff them up a little more, waiting patiently as she watched them.
