Since Sylva didn't seem to dignify her teasing, Luca decided to put most of her attention on the girl in front of her, half-beaming when Riley went into... some detail on her sword-wielding friend. "So a short sword then?" It was more of a confirmation of her thoughts than a question. "Well then, you'll have to introduce us before the night is over. I'd love to meet someone else who's actually skilled with a blade." Entirely unaware that Riley's "friend" was one of her pokemon, Luca quietly filled her head with the mental images of what they might fight like. Were they the fast and slippery type that would hit with shallow, easy to maneuver swings? Or were they the kind of person who'd aggressively press their assault until they make an opening? The ideas coming to mind almost brought a devilish smirk to her lips.
But now wasn't the type to get lost in daydreams about hypothetical swordfights. Once she brought out Priscilla, the fluffy Gardevoir gave Riley a small wave before she squatted down to her level, looking a bit more awake than her entrance would've had one believe. "Would you like to take a closer look? She offered, bringing it into her lap where it could be more easily inspected. "It's quite heavy, but being a psychic helps lighten the load." Her snow-white tail curled around until it rested on the floor in front of her, absentmindedly thumping softly against the floor.
While Priscilla seemed to take the reigns on entertaining Riley, her trainer shifted her attention back to her companion. She smiled when it seemed that the redhead didn't need as much support just to stand up, relaxing a little. "Feeling better now, 'Princess'?" She teased, giving her a playful wink.

After an indeterminable amount of time, Huey finally arrived in Kalos. But, rather than make straight for Parfum Palace, he made a pitstop in Camphrier, the closest town to the palace, to give Belle a chance to eat and rest, for him to change, and for his team to eat; he knew, from Riley's text, that the ball had its own food to offer, but... he didn't trust it. Once his pokemon had finished eating, and he'd changed into his suit--with a quick shower beforehand, because... he probably needed it--Huey made the trek from Camphrier to Parfum, with Cloud making observations and pointing out interesting sights along the way.
Past the gate and servants who only bowed upon his arrival, Huey entered the grand hall with determination, and then slowly dawning confusion when he realized that he had no idea where Riley was. He frowned, and pulled at his tie, which felt like it was beginning to suffocate him, before he decided to walk around a bit, to get his bearings. He didn't get too far, however, before he sent out Tybalt and Yuki, surprise lighting both their features when they saw just where they were. "We're at a ball," he whispered, afraid that someone might hear them. "I'm looking for Riley, you guys remember her, right? Keep your eyes open... and don't go far." They were two of his strongest pokemon, and they both kinda looked like they belonged at a ball, Tybalt had a regal air about him, and Yuki was elegant. So they'd be fine. With his 'surveillance team' assembled, Huey began walking in a random direction, figuring that was better than just standing around in the hall. Along the way, he sent Riley a text, figuring that would help him locate his friend.
Text to Riley: Hi, it's Huey this time. I'm at the ball too. Are you okay? Where are you?
After sending Riley the text, Huey placed his communicator into his waistcoat pocket, for easier access. Without much thought he followed the sound of music into a much larger room, and Huey looked on in surprise as several couples danced by him to the tune of some... piece that he, imagined, was composed by a famous individual, long since dead. "This... looks like an actual ball," he spoke out loud, and then held a hand out, to catch one of the millions of snowflakes drifting lazily to the ground. There was barely a chance for it to graze his palm, however, as it quickly evaporated. Huey stuffed his hands into his pockets, left hand shoving his communicator to the side to make room, and did his best to blend in as best he could. "Let's... start looking for her," he suggested, and hesitantly stepped out onto the floor.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan the Dracovoir and Meloetta (who has wandered away)
Austin listened intently as Tamara explained her current position. It looked like he wasn't the only one that was starting an adventure. "Interesting," he complimented. "We all have to start somewhere. And taken a little side trip can lead to some good experiences. Why, some of the best friends I've ever met were when I was off doing something off the beaten path." He thought quickly of the travelling monks he had met (while not really friends, still interesting people) and Naomi (who he was still smitten for), and a few of the other coordinators he had squared up against. He showed some concern when his current company mentioned she had her team possibly dealing with ghost-type Pokemon. "Oh dear. Well, if you need to check on them, don't delay on my account." However, his concerns were diminished when Tamara asked Din to check on her team. It was interesting to see such a unique Pokemon, one of which he hadn't seen before. When it winked at him, he waved in a friendly fashion, Susan pantomiming as well.
"Well, while we wait for a status report, I suppose I could regale you with some stories from the contest halls," Austin recommended. He didn't want to overdue it, but when it came to contests... "So, I'm sure you understand the basics of a contest: using moves to impress a crowd instead of bringing down an opponent. Now, some critics ( more like stupid assholes) will tell you that contests are a waste of time, that they don't make for strong Pokemon. But, I'd have to strongly disagree; you see, they only way to get more interesting moves is to train harder and harder. And then, you take the moves that they learn, and have to find a way to turn them into something impressive." Susan crossed her arms, agreeing completely with her coordinator. "For example, Tackle. It's a move just about about any Pokemon can understand and use, with an average effect. In the contest world, it's considered a move that represents toughness. But how do you make tackle look appealing? It's just throwing one's body at another. Well, that's the beauty of coordinating; taking the mundane, and making it something amazing." To catch his breath, he finished the last of his champagne, and smoothly handed it to a wandering butler in a fluid motion. "While you're in Sinnoh, Ms. Stonewall, I'd highly recommend you attend a contest or two. Especially if my team and I are competing. I assure you, you won't be disappointed." He felt somewhat flirty when he had spoken, which gave him an odd feeling; he was just acting, right?
Meanwhile, Meloetta had finally found her way to the band, and was beside herself with enjoyment. Bravo~ Braaaavoooo! she swayed from side to side as the music hit its end, and the conductor approached the muse. "You really enjoy our music, don't you?" Meloetta nodded in agreement, still humming the last few bars from the crescendo. "Well, I've always heard it's good luck to have a Meloetta perform with you; do you have any music you'd like to perform?" Meloetta went wide-eyed, and blushed a little. Well...I did have something in mind...

Giving a stern nod to his words, she had to agree. "You meet all sorts of interesting people." Temperance pipped in before continuing to listen to the young male before her. She held a smile on her lips the entire time he went on about contests, even chuckling some at his final statement. "Well, you certainly do know how to make them sound interesting all on your own." She replied once he was finally done speaking. She noted his glass as he'd emptied it, was that drink juice or was he drinking something he shouldn't be? Well, Champagne or Cocktails weren't entirely to alcoholic, Temperance was sure he wasn't entirely old enough to be drinking those.. then again, this was a different region than her own, so it likely had different rules in this aspect... that or she'd misjudged his age. Whatever the case, it wasn't any of her concern. Not like they'd card someone who looks old enough anyway. "I do agree though." She continued, pushing the thought of drinking aside. "Like I mentioned, I have never seen a contest before, but I've heard it takes just as much skill as a battle with a trainer." The more she thought of it, the more she somewhat wanted to see a bit of what Austin knew. Perhaps he could give her a small preview of his skills? "I have to admit, I am entirely curious as to just what your training has begotten you. If you wouldn't mind, could you show me?"
Floating outside, it wasn't hard to spot the trio in the distance. Epona's flames were small, but still easily seen, while Daphnes' flaming maw also drew in Din's attention. So much heat, she was eager to join the small group. Though, as she approached she found her devilish grin wavering. 'What happened to him?' She inquired, floating down the the group. Daphnes, in full on defender mode, turned towards Din with maw ablaze. 'Calm down, I'm with the human. Can't you tell?' She mused, grinning once more. Daphnes kept his eyes firmly locked with Din's, but soon enough he sensed it, she practically radiated Temp's scent. 'There you have it. So, I'll ask again, what happened to him?" She once more inquired. Daphnes lifted himself, turning towards the heavily breathing Piplup. He grunted a response which left Din to sigh. 'I see. Poison like this will slowly drain his energy, but he won't faint so long as he stays put. I can heal him, but in turn I'll be the one fainting.' Floating to the head of the group, she folded her arms, just as a Gastly appeared. 'Let me handle these guys for a bit, you just rest your hearth.'

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan the Dracovoir and Meloetta (who has wandered away)
At Tamara's request, Austin showed a little resistance. Could he do that? would he get in trouble for having an unscheduled contest in the middle of an event like this? The coordinator wasn't all too sure on what to do, and began to work up a decent excuse. He would gently decline, maybe explain that he wouldn't want to upset his sponsor.
Well, that was the plan. But then the douchebag arrived. He was a man that appeared to be in his late 20's, with dark, slick hair and and an even slicker mustache. His complexion was darker than Austin's a moderate brown, and had a disgustingly charming smile. "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, mi amour,"he said smoothly to Tamara, "and I just had to interrupt. Truly, if you wish to have a true demonstration of coordination, you would want it from me, Fernando." he winked in a seductive manner, which made Austin roll his eyes. Well, I can't punch this guy's face...I guess I'll punch his ego. Austin gently but forcibly turned Fernando towards him, and offered a challenge. "Allow me to propose a true competition, good sir," he said, "And challenge you to a contest of wits. Surely, a coordinator as amazing as you is up to it?" And with that, a contest was being prepared.
It took a few minutes to clear an area of the ballroom, and a few minutes to pick a judge from the crowd with enough credentials to make the final decision. In an interesting bit of theater, the Smart Contest had a theme: a Murder Mystery, devised by the judge. The scenario: A woman had been murdered at the ball. She had a stab wound in her abdomen, and a bruise on her head. There were three suspects: the butler, her husband, and her secret lover. All of the clues were made available to the two Pokemon: Susan, Austin's natural pick, and Houdini, which was Fernando's Kadabra. "Well, Susan, do you think you can do this?" She nodded with confidence. Of course Susan can! Susan solve murder, no problem! With her morale so high, her coordinator had no doubts. Fernando gave many looks and flirtations to Tamara, while Austin simply gave his acquaintance a simple wave before presentations were started.
The presentation went well for Susan, whose style led to a quick lead. And so, the round quickly started. Before Susan gives an answer, Susan gonna do some smart thinking, she announced to the crowd. She then used Calm Mind, finding her center with ease, just as Austin had planned. While her speech got chuckles from some of the watching crowd, some were wise enough to see that not rushing to a conclusion was a smart decision. Fernando, however, went for a more brash approach. "Houdini, let's not waste time. Confusion!" Houdini acknowledged by using his psychic ability to befuddle one of the guests that was acting as a possible culprit for the faux crime. The gentleman gave up some valuable information about the case: While the victim had been cheating on her husband, she planned on leaving her secret lover. Ergo, the killer should be the scorned lover. deduced Houdini. He should have the murder weapon on him! The crowd let out a gasp at the accusation, and soon murmurs erupted out as Houdini used telekinesis to pull out a knife from the lover's right hand pocket, still wet with (fake) blood. It seemed that it was an open and shut case.
Austin realized something off with the case, and Susan seemed to pick up on it as well. Susan has a question- Fernando motioned for Houdini to use Disable. That's enough, Susan, Houdini ordered, snapping his fingers. You cannot bring anything new to this case- Susan interrupted back with Stored Power, using her psychic power to override the disable. Oh yeah? Then how come lover boy is left-handed when stabby stick was in right pocket? To the crowd and judge's surprise, when Susan used her ability, the psychic force knocked the knife out of Houdini's telekinetic grasp, which the lover caught...in his left hand! The judge was beside herself with interest, as was the crowd that offered polite clapping at the astute observation. Yup, Susan right! Lover is lefty, so stabby stick in pocket made no sense. 'sides, pretend doctor judge lady said nice lady died from head ouchies, not gut stabbies. Hoodeenee know that, if he wasn't big dummy! To add a punch to her ego blow, she shot a burst of confusion at the Kadabra, who returned the favor with the same move, trapping them in a deadlock.
"So, you think you're so smart, eh? Your Pokemon has a speech problem, and you think you're going to win?" Austin hardly glanced over at the opponent, and shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, I don't know that I'll win, per se," he offered casually. "But, I know that Susan's already solved this little mystery." Fernando was very surprised by the answer given, and even he was waiting for Susan's answer. "Well? Who's the killer?!" Susan smirked, and crossed her arms as she used Calm Mind. Eloo-minty, Meester Fandango: The butler did it. The crowd broke out into oh's and ah's, and the man playing the butler bowed and verified that she was indeed correct. "What?! The butler? How is it the butler?! Houdini, figure it out!" The Kadabra did what he could to figure it out, but the answer eluded him. I...I don't know...Susan has bested my intellect... With Houdini's own acceptance of the results, the judge's decision was an obvious one.
"Indeed, Ms. Susan has arrived at the proper conclusion," the judge said. "And with such grace! Albeit with colorful speech. But more importantly, she did so without resorting to quick and rash decisions, which is the embodiment to a Smart Contest. So with no further delay, I announce Susan and her coordinator Austin Tucksworth, the winners!" Susan couldn't hold in her excitement as she shouted hooray and clung to Austin. "Well done, well done," he praised. He glanced up to see Fernando sulk away into the crowd, having been bested. "That's right, you dumb s**t, he muttered. "Walk away before you get slapped up again."

If Temperance had a nickle for every time she was flirted at by an egotistical, swave man.. she'd have just about enough to buy an estate. The blonde smiled towards Fernado politely, but otherwise gave him no mind. It was Austin she was interested in watching after all. Well, more specifically, Susan. The contest quickly began, various clues given and the scenario set, the mini-contest began. Temperance was thoroughly impressed by Susan's performance. She stood with a impressed smile on her lips. She knew from her own deductions that it hadn't been the secret lover, Susan's use of Calm mind to help her think things through clearly, was far more impressive than the rough and rushed way Fernando had his Kadabra handle things. Such brash means of power was be frowned upon in most questionings.
In the end, Susan revealed the true murderer. With the crowds applause, Temperance also applauded, using a hand to slap her wrist as her hands were full. "Bravo." She cheered. After a few seconds, the people that had gathered to watch the contest finally started to disperse, some congratulating Austin, some stayed to discuss their own outlook over the mystery, Temperance approached Austin, giving him a smile. "That was a fine display of your smarts, Susan." The blonde praised, slapping her wrist a bit more before finally returning both hands to the clutch. "I was thoroughly entertained. I certainly must see you in action at a full fledged contest." Though Susan may have an odd way of speaking, there was no doubt that the psychic-type was smart. With a nod she then looked to Austin. "You as well. I hear contests are more than just about the Pokemon in many regions. It would be nice to see you also in action with your Pokemon. "
The blonde then caught sight of one of the actors from the mini contest, and quickly leaned in towards Austin, holding up her hand as if blocking her mouth would keep anyone nearby from hearing... even if what she was saying wasn't entirely a secret. "I do have an idea as to why the Butler was the true murderer." She started. "I believe he hadn't actually meant to kill the poor woman, but after finding out she'd been cheating on his master, he decided to try and bonk her on the head as to erase her memories, but he hit her just a bit to hard and she died of head trauma." Leaning back, she dropped her hand. "I believe then, the butler decided to frame the secret lover, who just so happened to be the Husband's brother." Murder mysteries are a very fascinating thing, and Temperance favored them over most of the books she'd read back home.
Meanwhile, Din faced off against another Gastly, this one seemed far more mischievous than the previous one. With it's tongue hanging out, the specter licked Din, which needless to say, upset the psychic-type. Waved a hand, using Confusion on it, Thankfully knocking that one out as well. 'I do NOT want to be covered in ectoplasm.' She fussed, frowning in disgust.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan the Dracovoir and Meloetta (who has wandered away)
Austin quickly gave his thanks to the few admirers that stopped to give congratulations, Susan doing the same with many enthusiastic Yoo welcomes! Austin was helping Susan with her glasses, as they always got caught on her horns when she tried to take them off. "You did a great job, Susan," he told her. "We need to work on your vocabulary a little more, though." Susan frowned the notion, and fidgeted. Does that mean more flashcards? Susan no...um, I don't like flashcards... Luckily for the dracovoir, before Austin could argue the merits of knowing how to speak well, Tamara came to her rescue with praises. Susan spun around quickly to greet her. Really? Miss Stoney Wall, thank yoo! She put on her biggest smile, which (unfortunately) showed off her many jagged sharp teeth, and her eyes (two black pits with yellow pupils) twinkled. Susan very happy you liked the contest! Very happy! Austin gave her hair a tussle, getting a giggle out of the scary-looking Pokemon. Though when he was complimented as well, he couldn't help but genuinely smile as well. "Oh, I just coordinate," he modestly protested. "Even if I do get involved with the performance, the spotlight belongs to my Poke'mon."
Now that Susan was taken care of, Austin was able to give Tamara more of his attention. Which was good, because she wanted to discuss the topic of the moment: why the butler did it. The coordinator listened carefully before nodding in agreement. "I do believe you've come to the right conclusion," he replied. "The Bulter's undying loyalty to the master of the house was his own undoing. He had a good plan, though, blaming the lover. But in my own experiences, a real villain isn't so easily found out; but someone new to criminal acts almost always get themselves found out in the end. I've got to say, Ms. Stonewall, your intelligence truly rivals your beauty. You'd make formidable coordinator with a double-threat like that. " Austin had to admit that he was having a good time. He got to compete in a contest, school a dandy, and indulge in some decent conversation. Not a bad night for a thug like him. Maybe Nao-kun was right about being nicer to people.
Meanwhile. Meloetta was having an argument with the band. They had played a few songs together, but the Melody Pokemon was getting very insistent about playing a particular piece of music. "Meloetta, I just feel that this won't go over well with our more prestigious guests," the conductor said. She was looking over stacks of sheet music that Meloetta was quickly jotting down with abandon. Oh, but it's such a lively song! the muse replied. Why have a brass section if you can't let them live a little?~ C'mon, you know it'll be fun!

Well if Temperance had to choose between flirted towards by either a greasy dapper man or a charming princely type, she'd choose Austin's type. Though, flattery really got nowhere with Temperance, she appreciated the sentiments. "Thank you." She smiled. "You think so? Well, perhaps I should try my hand. I might not be as talented as you, Mr. Tucksworth, But I'm a go-getter if nothing else, so I'll try anything once." She may or may not actually try her hand at it, though, it would seem odd to simply ask someone out of the blue if they'd like to have a miniature contest. "Though, I think I might be better off sticking to battling." She chuckled. "I must admit I've just read a lot of murder mysteries that have this same scenario in them. It was a fun twist that it wasn't actually a blade that killed her, but something different."
That aside, Temperance glanced up at Susan. She'd had the thought to ask Austin about this Gardevoir's unique look. She did appear rather scary the first time Temperance had seen her approach with Austin, but her manner of speech seemed to make her a bit less threatening. If only because Temperance was used to Umbra looming nearby constantly when they were both younger. "Now, enough on that. I must ask you about Susan here. How did you two come to meet?" She inquired. Perhaps that would also answer her question on her unique appearance. Though temperance's own Pokemon, aside from Azalev, had unique colourings, they weren't as uniquely changed physically, like Susan is.
Speaking of which, one such unique in appearance Pokemon, Din, was ready to face her next opponent until a Sableye appeared before her. Even she wasn't dumb enough to try and attack a Dark-type with her only attacking move. 'Darn. I wanted to fight more. Fine, than.' Looking back towards Azalev she closed her eyes. 'You're turn, little bird.' With that the psychic-type began to glow, letting her energy float over to the heavily breathing Piplup. As the sight vanished, Din floated over to Epona, taking her place beside the sleeping pony.
Azalev was rather confused by his sudden burst of energy, but after rising back to this feet, he waved his flippers. Thanking Din, the Piplup took his place in the battle. He was now facing off against the Sableye, who'd wasted his Night Shade attack. Ready to get back into action at full swing, Azalev qucikly attacked with a powerful Hydro pump, fainting the Sableye.

"I hope you do, it's much more fun to perform than to watch. Much like a good battle, for that matter." Austin felt like promoting the occupation was definitely a good idea, so he felt much more genuine when he mentioned it. "But I won't blame you if you stick to regular battles. We all must fight, from time to time. It's best to be ready for it." As the conversation shifted to mystery novels, the coordinator was at a bit of a disadvantage. "I've only read but two or so books with that sort of theme," he replied. "I didn't have much in the form of variety at the school I attended." School was a bit of a stretch; 'Goldenrod Juvenile Correctional Facility did have classes, but unlike most school, you didn't get locked up after last period. But once more, the topic changed again, now about Susan and how she and Austin had met.
When Tamara requested the tale, Susan started to fidget somewhat, averting her gaze from the young woman and glancing over to her trainer. Austin read the situation easily enough, and gave her an out. "Say, Susan, why don't you see if you can get yourself some juice?" She perked up immediately at the notion: Juice! Susan love juice! Bye-bye, be back later! The dracovoir took off then, to take on the quest of finding sugary drinks. Once out of earshot, Austin gave Tamara his full attention once more, though with a slight frown. "You'll have to excuse her," he apologized. "Susan doesn't like talking about that time. As you can tell, she's definitely a special gardevoir. From what I've figured, she's some sort of mutation; instead of your common half fairy, half psychic-type Pokemon, she's part dragon instead of fairy, hence her more ferocious appearance. From what she's said, she's barely a year old, and doesn't remember her family at all. The only thing she remembers is that she was a Ralts when she was captured by poachers, and the next thing she knew, she was 'all growed up', as she put it." Austin furrowed his brow as he thought of the poachers he had fought to free her. Though he couldn't get into the more violent details or the fact he was living a double life, he continued on. "These vagabonds used some violent means to force her to evolve at a rapid pace, which left her completely feral. When I first encountered Susan, she couldn't talk telepathically. She just made nasty growls. After I gave the poacher's leader what-for and freed Susan, she...well, she attacked me. But, after establishing myself as the 'Alpha', she calmed down some. And with a few Poffins to help increase her smarts, she started to be able to talk again, albeit at a child's level. Which is to be expected, since she's practically a baby." Austin caught a glimpse of Susan, who had received a juice box, and was having a hell of time trying to get the straw into it. "It would've been easy to just use her as some sort of Tough contest gimmick...but she's got so much potential, and I plan on seeing what she's got."

Temperance offered a nod. Agreeing on the aspect of having to battle from time to time. Perhaps she'd try a contest, at least once. She was also saddened to hear he hadn't been given much in terms of literature diversity at his school. Though on the subject of contests, Austin had earlier mentioned Shinnoh as his place of contesting, so perhaps she'd ask around the region for directions to a contest hall. She could always ask Austin himself, but her curiosity on Susan was far superior.
Temperance frowned when she noticed Susan's reaction to her question. Austin quickly asked her to go find some juice, which made Temperance feel she might of overstepped a boundary. Austin quickly explained the situation, which made Temperance's hands grip her clutch a bit firmer. "Your meeting her was fated then." The blonde replied. "It's so disheartening to be reminded of such evil in this world." Offering a smile, she glanced up, spotting the Dracovoir in the distance. Hearing she'd been forced to fully evolve before she was properly matured explained her manner of speech. Perhaps it wasn't much like Umbra's case, but still the Gardevior reminded her of her dear friend. However, another Pokemon came to mind at the mention of mutations. "I feel..." She began. "I have a Pokemon on my team who is also quite unique in typing." Looking back to Austin. "A bagon I encountered very recently, he was outside of Sandgem Town, attacking a woman for her groceries." While the memory was a rather chuckle worthy one, it made Temperance question how Daphnes had ended up there, and why he too sported an unnatural typing. "He's dragon/steel, instead of the normal Dragon-typing." Was there some sort of organization toying with genetics roaming around? Even if she had so much on her plate already, anyone being tortured or abused must be saved, and the torturer brought to justice. She hadn't noticed it, but as her thoughts on Susan and Daphnes festered in her mind, her gaze grew more and more serious, and suddenly the music and dancing around her was silent.
The Bagon in question, watched at the ready as Azalev Hyrdo Pumped another would be attacker. Feeling much more energized, the Piplup was ready to take on any foe, but come the time his water-y attacks wouldn't cut it, Daphnes held flames at the ready upon his maw. The two made a pretty good team in this regard.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan the Dracovoir and Meloetta (who has wandered away)
As expected, Tamara gave assurance about Austin and Susan's meeting. He always felt odd when people showed any sort of compassion towards him, less so while he was pretending to be a man of good repute. "Perhaps it was," he mused. The coordinator never thought much about fate. It fate's a thing, at least its finally stopped bending me over a barrel, he thought. He met his acquaintance's smile with his own, though he felt a little tinge run up his spine. "Please, Ms. Stonewall, don't pity Susan," he replied kindly. "If bad things didn't happen, why, we wouldn't be able to tell when anything good occurred. You know, 'strength in the face of adversity', and such notions." He had hoped that the comment would ease any sadness (which was surely, surely an act; why would he care about some random broad?) , but there seemed to be something else on her mind. Tamara mentioned a bagon she had, with a unique typing as well. "Really now? That's rather curious..." Could there be something nefarious going on? There were always the old urban legends of scientists messing with Pokemon DNA and the like. It was very, very curious. Unfortunately, Austin was Dallas Tucker, and Dallas Tucker didn't really give a s**t about that.
"Well, Ms. Stonewall, maybe you've stumbled upon a real mystery!...Ms. Stonewall? Austin's joke wasn't great, he knew, but he hadn't expected a complete disregard. He leaned in a bit closer, and noticed the austere, severe look in her eyes. It reminded him of what it was like when a cop had a criminal dead to rights. Aw hell...is she a cop? Good job, a*****e, you've been chatting up a cop!...maybe. He had thought that the name Tamara Stonewall felt a bit hokey...no. He was being paranoid. She's probably just a big softy when it comes to Pokemon. He gently put a hand on her shoulder. "Tamara, are you alright?"
Back at the band, Meloetta finally convinced the conductor to play her song. Thank you thank you thank yoooouuuuu~ You won't regret it! The band all had the proper music, and the conductor got ready to start the piece. I'm so glad we're doing this! This song has been stuck in my head for days now. Okay, everybody! A-one, a-two, a-one two three four! And then, the band started into a Swing-paced, jazzy ensemble that quickly caught attention in the ballroom. Meloetta was already sashaying to the beat, and provided the vocals, using her psychic ability to project her voice to the party-goers. Here we go, off the rails. Don't you know it's time to raise our sails? It's freedom like you never knew~

She hadn't meant to make it seem like she was pitying Susan, even if she was some, but before she could correct Austin on her feelings she was already lost in her own mind. Conspiracies, Theories, and Suspicions rushed about Temperance's mind, as she thought of helpless Pokemon being used for devious acts, though thankfully, Austin was there to break her from her own mind. After his hand rested on her shoulder she finally looked up, catching his gaze. "Oh." She felt herself suddenly blush, raising a hand to a cheek she could feel it was warm... "Sorry about that." She muttered. "I must of had a scary look on my face." This wasn't the first time, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. Letting out a sigh, she returned a smile to her lips. They needed a change in subject, thankfully, the music began to pick up, and being so close it wasn't easy to ignore it.
Looking towards the band, they were certainly livening up the place. At their head sung a Meloetta, a Pokemon that Temperance had heard of, but had never seen before. "What a catchy song." Temperance muttered, feeling herself started to swing to the beat. This wasn't the first time she'd heard music like this, but it was mostly shared on a radio or at a festival, of which she rarely got to listen or attend, given her circumstances growing up. Needless to say, it was a fine distraction from all the serious talk going on.

✪Walking Pokemon ⇨ Susan the Dracovoir and Meloetta
Much like Tamara, when the music suddenly turned into a more upbeat tune, it caught Austin's attention. And when he heard the voice providing the lead vocals, he knew exactly what was happening. Meloetta. Hadn't he told her not to go and do something like this? Judging by the attendees, some were very pleased with the change of tempo, others not so much. Leave it to a legendary Poke'mon to go off and do something like this, he thought. He started to head for the band to get Meloetta to knock it off, but quickly remembered that he was in the middle of a conversation with Tamara. "Oh, um, excuse me, won't you?" he asked politely, but didn't botehr to wait for a response before heading off.
When he reached the band, Meloetta had some admiring guests engaging on the dance floor, and she was just starting into the chorus. It's time to jump up in the air Jump up, don't be scared Jump up and your cares will soar away And if the dark clouds start to swirl Don't fear, don't shed a tear 'cause I'll be your 1-Up girl!~ So let's all jump up super high! High up in the sky! There's no power-up like dancing You know that you're my super star No one else can take me this far I'm flipping the switch Get ready for this Oh, let's do the Odyssey!
As the post-chorus started up, Austin found a chance to get in close and get a word in. "Meloetta, what the hell?" he said soft enough to be private. "I said not to have too much fun, and this is definitely it!" The Melody Pokemon looked puzzled. Yeah, but don't you want to make a great impression for everybody? That's the point of coming here anyways. As a matter of fact...catch! Instinctively, Austin caught what was thrown, not quite realizing he now had a microphone in his hand. And to his terror, the post-chorus was ending and the second verse was soon approaching. "Spin the wheel, take a chance Every journey starts a new romance A new world's calling out to you"
To his surprise, he didn't sound bad; he was actually quite good, great even! He shot a glance to Meloetta, who was providing backup, and the wink she gave made it clear what she was doing. Nevertheless, with the positive reaction, he continued on, adding a dollop of that Austin charm he would soon be well known for. He did some effective stepping as he danced by the band, even joining Meloetta in a little tango. But soon, the second chorus started up.
"Come on and jump up in the air Jump without a care Jump up 'cause you know that I'll be there And if you find you're short on joy Don't fret, just don't forget that I'll be your 1-Up boy!"
When Austin called himself 'your 1-Up boy,' he couldn't help but cheese it up by pointing to Tamara in the crowd and putting on his best wink and smile. And then, he continued on for the big finish with Meloetta.
It's time to jump up in the air Jump up, don't be scared Jump up and your cares will soar away," And if the dark clouds start to swirl Don't fear, don't shed a tear 'cause I'll be your 1-Up girl! "Now listen, all you boys and girls All around the world Don't be afraid to get up and move," You know that we're all superstars We're the ones who made it this far~ "Put a smile on that face!" There's no time to waste, so Let'sdotheOdyssey!
When the song reached its end, the clapping was almost as loud as any contest Austin had done. Meloetta had jumped up in Austin's lap during the finish, and she quickly asked a quick question. So, I'm not in trouble, right?
"Nah, not this time," he whispered. "Though we're definitely entering a contest with this act!" Susan finally arrived as well, who had ripped the top off of her juicebox and had drank it all up. Pretty song! Meloetta is pretty cool! Not as cool as Susan, though. Meloetta had a good laugh at that.

The toe-tapping tune, was certainly drawing Temperance in. She felt herself softly swaying to the beat. She merely nodded when Austin went to excuse himself, though she was curious as to where he was going so abruptly. It wasn't hard to follow him, as he quickly advanced towards the Meloetta. Curious, Temperance pushed herself further towards the band, staying somewhat to the sidelines of the people who were really getting into the beat. She found herself blushing once more when Austin, who'd suddenly joined the Meloetta pointed towards her, during his turn in the song. She'd never heard the song before, but '1-up boy' seemed rather straight forward. As flattered as she was, she was sure it was only to play with the audience. Regardless, when the song finished and the band settled down, a few of it's members straying off to get some water after that performance, Temperance approached Austin and the Meloetta. "Bravo!" She clapped, playfully chuckling. "What a performance. I'd call for an encore, but I think the band isn't used to such active songs." Looking over towards Susan, Temperance gave the Gardevoir a nod. "I'm sure with practice you two could be a duet to end all duets." Though, she wasn't sure what Susan's singing voice actually sounded like, it still didn't hurt to give her some encouragement. Did it?

Riley was both surprised and not surprised when Yukie came over to say she wasn't going to stay much longer. Riley was just glad Yukie had come in the first place, and her friend being happy to leave when she was tired or "not feeling well" made Riley feel better about sort of puppy-dog-eyeing her into coming. It was still hard to tell whether she was really imposing on Yukie or not, though Riley was getting better at it- not at not imposing, but rather at being aware if she was. "Okay. Feel better, Yukie!" She said, curious who it was Yukie had met up with. There wasn't time to introduce her to Luca and Sylva, so she just said a quick and cheerful goodbye.
"Well, that was my friend I came with. One of them. The one with a sword is...hmm, around here somewhere. You'd know him if you saw him." she said, feeling like maybe Kuraz would be interested to meet Priscilla (and vice versa). And maybe even the cute little Wixon! Since they were all pokemon with something in common. "He's just like that," she said, thinking that the cubone looked very cute with its small club. "Though he had to borrow his sword from someone that made it for him." Riley didn't want to get Luca's hopes up too much, given she didn't actually know Kuraz's skill with a sword. I really hope its not just for decoration, she thought to herself. "Yeah, I'm sure he and Amalia will be done saying hello and come back soon..." It had been some time at this point, and she was sure Amalia wanted to have fun too, so they must be close to returning. Being a princess must be hard work.
Riley was surprisingly unruffled at being addressed by Priscilla. In fact, after coming straight from Elchaine and talking about Kuraz, she'd almost been expecting it. "Oh yeah!" she said, leaning in to look. "I hadn't thought about psychic powers helping like that," she mused as she looked at the long weapon. She wondered if Kuraz used aura to help, or if his nature as a steel type would have made it easier for him to wield a weapon. It certainly explained why he didn't carry around a shield. "Where did you get it? If you don't mind me asking," Riley hurriedly added. "I've never met a gardevoir with a scythe...or a tail before," she said, reminded of the fluffy charmander she'd once met who had a soft white tail kind of like that one. "It almost looks like a dragon tail."
Riley was so engrossed with Priscilla that she didn't notice Huey's text right away. Instead it was Vanyel who noticed Tybalt's tall form mingling into the crowd first, and once again nearly threw Alula across the room in surprise. Thankfully he instead lifted her off the floor by her arms and spun her in a circle, which had the bird chirruping happily from the fun of it. It was at about that time that the music from the band took an...odd turn. The moment Alula's talons hit the floor she was clickity-clacking away. Vanyel did not like where this was going. Distinctly uncomfortable, and sort of really hoping that Tybalt just...didn't recognize him, he resigned himself to joining Alula in this... "dance". He wasn't sure if it was the song or more than that, but he suddenly felt incredibly stiff and awkward. It was not long before he gave up, opting to just watch Alula as she threw herself into the dance. Vanyel gathered his courage, and glanced again at Tybalt and, yes, he could see Huey now through the crowd. He tried to play it cool, raising a hand in greeting and gesturing towards where he knew Riley was. To Riley he send a brief mental ping.
"Ah! Huey!" Riley exclaimed suddenly (thankfully not getting so startled as to cut herself on Priscilla's scythe). Unfortunately Vanyel hadn't been very clear, sending a vague emotional message instead of words, so Riley didn't realize Huey was here and instead checked her phone quickly. Then she knew he was here! "Ack, this message is old..." She typed a really quick smiley face then looked up. "Another one of my friends is here! He just sent me a message," she explained, not wanting to seem rude. "I don't see him though..."
Text to Huey:You're here!? I'm in the ballroom, where are you?
"I wish Kuraz had a phone so I could tell him to come back," Riley mused aloud. "I bet he'd like to meet you, Priscilla. And Luca, as a fellow swords...man. Um. Oh, and Sylva, I bet you'd like Amalia! She's really cute." Riley didn't realize that if you didn't know Amalia was a little eevee, that statement would definitely get interpreted differently. "She's a princess, but I bet she'd agree with me that you look like one too."
