"Alright, thanks for reminding me!" Ray called out to Azumi as he went to change in the bedroom. He was pleased to discover that the suit that Azumi had picked out for him wasn't too flashy: a simple dark grey jacket and pants, and a white shirt. He threw on some black dress shoes, and a red tie that he had lying around before re-entering the living room.
"How do I look?" he asked Azumi as he stepped out. "And what do you think I should do with my hair?"
 
Azumi looked at Ray astonished. "Forget your hair, who are you and where's Ray?" She said with a laugh. She wasn't used to seeing him dress so formally. "Colmb your hair to the back, can't have anything covering your face. Oh and your tie..." She walked over to him and fixed it. "How come men never get their ties straight?" She finished and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Perfect! Right Nana?"
Nana looked over with a confused look, to her he looked exactly the same.
Azumi went back to the room. "I better change into my dress and I still gotta do my hair." She disappeared into the room.
She put on a dark gray dress to match with Ray, that was sleeveless and puffed up from the waist down and reached her knees. She also did her hair up into a fancy bundle and held it together with a red ribbon to match Ray's tie. She finished it off with red heels and a silver necklace. Azumi looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. She went back to the living and asked Ray and Alex. "How do I look?"
Nana danced around her in approval.
 
Ray walked over to a nearby mirror and combed his hair back while Azumi was changing. It was still pretty messy-looking, but he figured it would do...
"Wow, you look gorgeous!" he said to Azumi when she came back. "A little too gorgeous, in fact..." he gave her a wry smile and a playful kiss. "No one's gonna give a damn about what I have to say with you looking like that..."

She saw Nana dancing around the Growlithe. "Don't annoy her Nana, she is nice girl." Azumi warned her.

"Oh don't worry about it! Growlithe seems to be enjoying it," Alex explained in Growlithe's place, who was contentedly laying on the floor. "You two look very fancy! I hope the guests aren't expected to wear dress clothes," he said, noticing their outfits. "I didn't bring any with me, but I suppose I could go grab my lab coat from the hotel. Try to pass as a professional, yknow?"
 
"Thank you!" Azumi replied with a big smile to Ray's comment. "Don't worry I could never trade you. Who else could have a building dropped on him and fall for the girl who did it?" She said teasing.

Nana, with now permission, danced even more around Growlithe, as if showing of her moves.

Azumi responded to Alex's question. "It's ok the public doesn't have a dress code. I'm sure the presenters don't have one either, but looking presentable is important to convince people. Well, that's what I've been thought, you're the behavior expert." Azumi said with a small laugh. "Actually I have a question. You see Nana has been always... Well like Nana. She has no interest in battles yet one day we woke up and found her evolved. Any information you have that could help me figure that out?"
 
Alex laughed at Azumi's joke. "That's very interesting about Nana. I've never heard of that happening before, but it makes sense," Alex said, thoughtful. "This is just speculation, but here are my thoughts. Pokemon normally evolve through experience in battle right? Well, battling is actually considered a play behavior in pokemon. This is why pokemon can still be friends after they fight, and also why serious injury is so rare. Pokemon can withstand attacks of pure fire, toxic sludge, and huge rocks at high speeds because the pokemon initiating the attack has no intent to harm," Alex paused, trying to rein in the tangent.

He momentarily stared at the wall, hand on his chin. Resuming his hand gestures, he continued his explanation. "So considering that most pokemon evolve through cooperative play, it's entirely possible that Nana's dancing is responsible for her evolution. Did she dance often as a ralts?" Back on the topic of her dancing, Alex admired the kirlia's graceful movements while waiting for a response.
 
"Wow that would make sense." Azumi said as she listened. "Yes, she has been dancing since she came out of her egg." She looked over at Nana and smiled. "But, why is she so childish if she is already in her second form, shouldn't they mature?" Azumi continued with the questions, she had been hooked by the information and she never gave away an opportunity to learn more.
"Oh by the way!" She stopped Alex before he answered. "Ray whenever you're ready call a car. We have to be there before it starts." She turned her attention back to Alex.


Maker whistled at everyonre. "Are you guys done? We have to go soon!"
 
"Ah yeah, that's a good idea, we can finish our conversation on the way there," Alex acknowledged. "Growlithe, Espeon, I trust you'll follow me into the car?" Growlithe barked excitedly. This adventure was a lot less scary than she thought it'd be. Espeon, still laying comfortably in the corner on one of his hosts' pillows, opened one eye and looked at Alex. Alex took that as a yes.

He turned his attention back to Azumi. "Good question," Alex praised, pleased that Azumi was interested in his explanation. "Not counting atypical pokemon, such as those who evolve via a stone, like growlithes, or via major life changes, like kadabras, pokemon evolve after having enough experience in battle. Or," he added with a laugh, "in Nana's case, experience in dance."

"Usually, this is related to age. The older you are, the more experience you have, right? Nana's still so childish probably because she evolved earlier than most pokemon usually do, because she dances more often than most pokemon battle." Alex began to feel a tinge of excitement as an idea crossed his mind. "This might be a great alternative to battling for pokemon whose trainers who are unable or unwilling to lead them in battle... I mean, this could really change lives for the better. Would you mind keeping me updated on Nana? I'm curious to see if this can be replicated in other pokemon. Right now, my major concern is that I'm wondering if this is genetic. Do you know anything about her parents or siblings?"
 
Azumi thought deeply about the information and questions. "Well I got her as an egg. It was a gift from Diantha, the Kalos champion. I'm not sure if her mom is the same Gardevoir, but it's highly possible..." She smiled at Alex. "I will keep you updated for sure! It's exciting to be part of something so important."


Maker began to walk to the outside of the park. "I have called for a car guys!" She yelled back while walking happily. "Should we go get something to eat?"

Azumi picked up Nana. "I know you don't want to miss out, but behave in public." She told her Kirlia. Nana smiled happily and kissed Azumi on the cheek as a thank you. Azumi put a red bow on her to match along with herself and Ray. Azumi grabbed her purse, she checked that her badge and taser (spell check) gun were inside, and left the apartment. "Make sure to lock it good!" She called out to Ray.
The driver opened the back door for her and she got in, making sure she didn't ruin her dress.

Maker rubbed her belly. "We can get some hot dogs on the way! How about it?" She asked Eli as the car arrived and she got it.
 
"Just get in! We aren't too big or anything! You heard the man mister driver! Let's go get the best hot dogs in the city and then to city hall!" Maker said with a giant grin on her faced. "Whatever you say pretty lady." The man answered back as he began to drive. Maker smiled at the compliment, she loved getting them.
The car drove around for about 15 minutes when they stopped in front of a hot dog stand in a corner of a street.
"Here you are! Best hot dogs in the city, want me to wait for you?" The driver asked Maker.
"Of course!" Maker said as she got off and took Eli with her. She stood at the hot dog stand and made her order. "I will take two hot dogs please! And whatever anyone else orders it's on me, I'm buying!"
 
Maker looked at Jodi with her mouth full. "Ov covse vot, vrust me!" She finished chewing and directed herself to Michael. "You could get a fruit salad, they look pretty good." She began to eat the second hot dog and spoke to Eli. "I alvays vuy..." She swallowed. "It's how I show my affection for people I like." She said with a smile, some mustard on her nose. "Man these ARE good!"
 
"Fine,a berry salad please!"Michael ordered with a hint of disappointment towards Maker but with a little bit of excitment that he'll eat something without meat.Even though she got it earlier,Jodi finished her hotdog at the same time Michael finished his salad."Ugh,I'm bored.Stop dreaming 'bout hotdogs and let's go!"Michael said extremely bored and exasperated at the same time.
"Hold your Horsea!We're almost done!"Jodi said,while ordering another hotdog.
 
"Ugh,fine."Michael said with a sigh."I just want to go there and hear Ray's speech!And maybe I do want to get a good seat.I literally sit at the back of my class and can't see or hear anything!And I usually sit in the back at other stuff,so I want for this speech thingy to be hearible and seeable!I don't even know if those are words!"Michael said frustrated.He began to walk around in circles,humming his favourite song to pass time.
 
Maker and the rest arrived at their destination. The former Galactic building looked completely different compares to it's sinister old self. There were a few people around, mostly workers setting up everything for the stage.
Maker paid the driver and got off. "Ok we're here!" She announced as she began to look around. "It's actually not that bad. Let's hope Azumi doesn't destroy it."
 
"Probably Azumi took too long getting dressed." Maker said as she headed towards the entrance of the building. "Let's just go inside and get a good sit."
She reached the entrance, where some security guards checked her bag and then allowed her to go through. Once inside, the place had a giant reception, where there were reporters getting ready while camera men made sure the cameras were working.
"I wonder in which room they will be..." Maker wondered out loud as she walked around the lobby.
"Hey Azumi I knew I would find you here!" A young man said as he ran up to Maker.
"Eh? Sorry I'm not..." She tried to explain herself but was interrupted.
"Don't worry I got us some seats near the front." He said with a smile.
"Um... Who are you?" Maker asked confused.
"Huh? What do you mean?" The young man asked.
"Sorry I have no idea who you are." She replied with a smile.
The young man looked at Maker with a lost look and than began to laugh. "I get it! Nice one. See you inside ok?" And he took off.
"Huh... That was odd. Hey guys let's go look for the conference room!" Maker told the rest.
 
Michael and Jodi went after Maker,passing by the 2 guards."Hey 'Aker,who was that guy?Was he one of your exes or something?"Michael asked confused.
"It doesn't matter!Let's go to that room!"Jodi said bored.They followed Maker,looking around at the other people.
 
"Not that I recall..." Maker said answering Michael's question. "Here it is!" She said as she reached a room that had a banner promoting the debate between Lucian and Byron. Under Lucian's name, there was more information and in there you could read Ray's name. "Yup this is it!" Maker confirmed after reading the banner. She walked in only to be stopped by one of the guards. "I'm sorry but to be in here you need a pass." He said.
Maker was about to throw a fit when an older man, about in his 50's with gray hair and mustache, walked up to them. "Ms. Towers you have arrived! Where is Mr. Montag?" He said as he stretched his hand out to greet Maker.
Maker figured they were confusing her with her sister, so she took advantage of it. "Good day! Sorry for the delay. Ray is practicing his speech at the moment. He will be here shortly."
"Wonderful! I see you forgot your passes." He said followed by a chuckle.
"Yes I believe I did. I must have left them in the other purse." Maker said, acting exactly like her sister.
"Well no worries, you have helped us out with many cases. I might as well repay some of those favors." He turned to the guard. "Please inform your men that Azumi Towers and company are free to come and go as they please." He shook Maker's hand again. "Now if you will excuse me, there's some business I need to take care of." He left them and the guard allowed their entrance.
After being away from the guard, Maker turned to the rest. "Did you guys like my acting?"
 
Maker laughed. "Na, they guard what's coming in. Not what's inside." She walked over to a table that had plenty of different snacks set up for the guest. "Now this is nice!" She said as she grabbed some stuff and placed them on a small plate. "Strawberries with chocolate!" Maker cried out as she ate one and placed some on her plate.
 
"I think you might vomit by the end of the night!"Michael said with a chuckle.He went over to the buffet and got a s'more.When he placed it in his mouth his face lit up.He started eating more.
"Wow Michael,you're such a hypocrite!"Jodi said with a sigh and a chuckle.She also started eating some s'mores.
 
"I want to sit in the front row!"Michael said at the same time he swallowed."...So I can throw something at Byron when he'll insult Ray!"His expression turned dark and his voice became sadistic.
"Woah there!Please don't throw your bracelets at him!The last time you did that you you got the spikes in your own eye!I don't even know how that's possible!"Jodi said with a laugh."But anyway,we should occupy the sits before they get taken!"
