On her way down, Platinia's dress snagged on a broken part of the pillar. She cursed softly, seeing the guests arriving. "Chatler, you and mama go take care of the guests" She told the chatot as it flew down. She wanted to make sure her chatot was the perfect dinner party partner, so she taught it a bunch of new phrases.

The chatot landed on the Garchomp's head as they greeted the guests "Welcome" It cawed. "Find a seat!" It squawked as Mama walked the guests over to the tables. Suddenly, the back of the dress tore, and she was sent flying to the ground, but luckily, Chatler had came just in time, safely returning her to the ground. She put her champion cape back on to cover the hole and came over to socialize with the guests. Just as she walked over, Leo and Sylver were delivered, as well as Sylver's little friend, who Stara dropped on the ground without much care. She returned them to their balls.

"Hello Platinia, it's good to see you again." Sycamore said smiling. His Mega-Evolving Garchomp stood beside him.
"Gabba!" it said happily.
Cyrus, who had come as the plus-one of Cynthia, the ex-Sinnoh region champion, had a very misbehaved Honchkrow, who flew around the guests saying vulgar swearwords. Cyrus chased after the profane pokemon with his pokeball, trying with great effort to return it.
"Hello Miss Platinia." Mio said. Argos stood beside her. "You said you'd return Luca after I was released."

"I gave Luca to Sycamore before we brought you in, I only said not to give it back to you until you got out" Platinia told her. "Hey, Plati, where's the drinks?" A laid back, bored sounding voice asked. "Oh Volkner- wait, Volkner? What are you doing here? you know this isn't for gym leaders" Platinia said, annoyed with the electric type expert. "Pfft, I know that, Flint brought me" He said, pointing to Flint, who just waved. "Right..." She responded, "Drinks are over there" She told him.

Dusty fluttered his wings pridefully, and Ashley ran up to hug him.

"Good job, you're pretty strong, anyways, we should hurry, we're starting to head up there soon" Konnyr said, returning all his pokemon except for honchkrow, getting on its back.

Dusty crawled into Ashley's backpack. "We're ready to go!"

Konnyr nodded "you can travel with me, we're leading the front group." Konnyr told her, patting the space behind his as an invite for her to climb on.

"Dad..." Mio said angrily.
"Here, sorry. I forgot." Sycamore said, handing her the pokeball.
"Yo Sycamore!" Kukui said. "What up, cousin?"
"I'm not your cousin, Kukui." Sycamore said hotheadedly. "And have you ever worn a shirt in your entire life?"
"Not that I can remember, cousin." Kukui said, taking a sip from his cup of punch.
"Hey! Sycamore! Is that your daughter?" Burgh asked. Grimsley was right beside him.
"How do you know Burgh? He's from Unova." Mio asked.
"Gaycation 2015." Sycamore said. He didn't say anything else about the subject. Gaycation 2015 was best left forgotten.

"Hey Kukui, glad you could make it, can you tell me about the alola region?" Platinia asked, walking off while talking to the alolan professor. "Hey, Mio? is that you?" Sylver asked, walking up the the girl. Kai followed next to her, holding a glass of water, and Leo stayed close behind Sylver.

Ashley climbed on. "Hello Honchcrow! we meet again" she said, patting the big bird
