Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maddy appeared behind Jake as he spoke.
"Oh? Pick up chicks?"
She looked over his Gengar. It was pretty cute, but...
"Hm. I guess you're not looking for a real woman."
She took off her eye patch and checked it over. "If we're going shopping for accessories for our Pokémon, maybe I can finally pick up a new eye patch."

"Well I have to get someone to pay for me." He chuckles and turns around to see Maddy. He holds the Gengar in his arms like a doll.
"Who're you bringing babe?" He smiles a bit.

Maddy turned to Rose. "A bit of both."
She then turned to Jake. "Does it need to be a Pokémon of a particular size? I figured one of my dragons could suffice..."
She reached into her back pocket and pulled out her wallet, taking out a shiny blue credit card with the Aqua symbol on it. "Should we all dress fancy, just for fun? I'm in the mood for buying a new dress."

Rei laughed. "If you want to dress fancy, you're welcome to. I'm sure there's no such thing as 'overdressed' in Kalos." Rei stopped to consider his own outfit by the reflection of a window, and to his realization, he hadn't changed since he left Hoenn.





"Hmm... Yeah. I could go for fancy clothes."

"Star." Jake says and his Gardevoir appears. "Fancy dinner, trainer and uhh..." He scratches his chin. "Young father."
Star nods and snaps her fingers. Jake's clothes are suddenly different. He's wearing a long, fancy black coat, with gold trim and buttons. He's wearing an expensive, tucked in pale lavender shirt with the collar down. He was also now wearing black dress pants and shoes. His hair was slicked back with two strands hanging down and his glasses are thin, designer sunglasses.
Samara was now wearing a yellow bow and a small pale yellow dress.
"Thanks."
"(No problem.)" She then vanishes.

Maddy looked Jake up and down, somewhat impressed.
"Hmmmmm. I'll be back in a bit." She said before walking off. She could look fancy too, if she tried.
As she explored the street and looked in at various shops, she recalled the last time she dressed fancy. It was at Lysandre's party. The dress she had worn was fairly formal and innocent. Her new dress would certainly be fancy, but she wasn't holding out for an innocent look this time.
"Something that shows legs and cleavage... Maybe some lower back..." She muttered to herself as she browsed.

Rei walked into a high-end store with his boss, figuring that Maddy would have a better idea of what would suit him better. Upon entering, a sales associate swooped down on him like a hawk.

"Why, hello there, sir! Are you perhaps looking to wear something better than... that thing?" She immediately began pulling out a few outfits from racks.

"Er... I don't think..." Rei began.

"Come! I'll get you suited up!" With that, she whisked him away into a dressing room and proceeded to work her "magic."

"Ow! Augh! What are you doing? This feels ten inches too tight!"

"Nonsense, sir! Why, with your body type, this will be most flattering!"

"Flattering my a**! Get off of my - ow!"

Rei stumbled out of the dressing room and stared at his reflection on the many mirrors.




"What... What the heck is this?!?" His Shelgon, Emo Cloud, could only laugh at the spectacle. The associate poked out from the room. Noibat had to explain the sight for the Countess; her echolocation was good, but the concept of colors and fashion were mostly lost on her.

"You're right, sir, it's far too modest. Here, I have a better outfit for you." Strong hands gripped Rei by the shoulders and tossed him back in the torture chamber before he had a chance to protest.

Rei was pushed back outside the dressing room and in front of the mirror before he had a chance to protest. Words were lost on him for a moment, and he stood shaking in terror and building rage.

".........."




"Well, sir? What do you thi-" A gauntleted hand punched the woman square in the face.

"I hate you." He charged back in the dressing room, gathering something, anything that would get him out of the store. On the way out, he grabbed a few items, tossed a few dollars at the register, and stormed out.



"Don't. Say. Anything." Rei's glare burned silent death threats at everyone who saw the spectacle.

A walk calmed him down considerably, and Rei peeked into a few other stores to get various trinkets for his Pokémon. He stopped at a colorful but not harshly bright store and looked to Noibat.

"Want to try here first?" he asked.
