For a small price of fifteen dollars, I the Amazing Ace will trans-mutate any Pokemon before your very eyes!"[/color] People from the crowd began to turn around and look at Ace, intrigued at the thought of seeing a Pokemon appear out of thin air. [color=cyan]"However, there is a twist my friends - with the power of Banhiti I will refine the colors of each Pokemon to a different shade! This is a once in a lifetime sight to behold!"[/color] The line grew louder and louder with their roars of anticipation, the people in line had been waiting for hours undoubtedly bored, and Ace knew it - in fact he calculated it. Banhiti's Traveling Circus had rode into town for this very event, knowing well that the amount of foot traffic at the Pokemon Lab for the Sanctuary Giveaway would be undeniably large and with that came the opportunity to swindle gullible and naive young trainers; waiting and willing to spend there money to watch a quick trick while they pass the time. Ace watched the dollars waving throughout the crowd, everyone eager for mindless entertainment as the line for the Sanctuary only grew longer and longer. Without keeping the audience waiting, he placed a wooden box with the 'Banhiti's Circus' logo on the ground beside him, motioning a random volunteer from the line to partake in the 'magic trick'. Before all else though, Ace was sure to collect and tuck away payment for safekeeping. [color=cyan]"Alright, everyone gather around!"[/color] Ace pulled a large picture book out of his pocket that contained pictures of all 151 Kanto Pokemon, the book was slightly outdated but Ace trained his accomplice for weeks to perfectly mimic each of those Pokemon. [color=cyan]"Now, I am going to show you a book filled with 151 Pokemon."[/color] Ace flipped through the pages with a smirk, making sure the captivated audience could see the book as well, [color=cyan]"The book contains pictures of these Pokemon in there natural state, if you'd be so kind as to pick one and show the audience."[/color] The woman flipped through the book, choosing the page that had Ponyta on it before rotating the book around to show the audience her choice, [color=cyan]"Is this the Pokemon you would like to see appear different before your very eyes?"[/color] The woman nodded and smiled with glee, bobbing up and down in anticipation for what came next. Ace nodded to the woman with a sly face, throwing the book down on the ground next to his box. Wasting no time, Ace's blue Zorua layed underneath the box, peeking out the handle hole to get a good glimpse of the Ponyta picture. After a few brief moments of studying the image, Zorua loudly tapped his tail against the box ready to transform. Without a moment to lose, Ace pulled out a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it to the ground, quickly grabbing the box off of Zorua as it instantaneously transformed into a Shiny Ponyta. Once the smoke cleared, the crowd went wild with cheers and whistles of excitement as Ace and Ponyta bowed. [color=cyan]"Everyone give a big round of applause to my lovely volunteer!"[/color] Ace exclaimed, shaking her hand as he sent her back to her spot in line. He turned away from the crowd for a quick moment and called back the Shiny Ponyta into its Luxury Ball, and began to set up the illusion again with Zorua released back inside the box. [color=cyan]"Now who's next?"[/color] [h1][center][color=lightpink]Fantasia Heirloom[/color][/center][/h1] [center][h2][color=lightpink]Estoria City, Pokemon Lab[/color][/h2][/center] [center][hider= Current Team] [img]http://graphics.tppcrpg.net/xy/normal/406F.gif[/img] [color=8dc73f]Budew[/color] [/hider][/center] [@AbysmalDemon] Fantasia didn't particularly want to meet Charlie, however she knew she had to play her cards right with Professor Cedar for her fathers sake. She didn't particularly like her father, but Pokelabs purchase a large quantity of their inventory and some conversation is not worth ruining a franchise over. She called out to Charlie with her fake, shrill voice unwilling to move from behind the crowd in fear of ruining her ball gown. [color=lightblue]"Ah, Fantasia. There were rumors that you wouldn't make it because of your father.[/color] She cut him off rudely, [color=lightpink]"Yet here I stand, You know as well as I do gossip isn't reliable dear; Fantasia always makes an entrance."[/color] There was a brief moment of silence between them as Fantasia looked disinterested. [color=lightblue]"Um, I don't believe we've formally met, but I'm Charlie Cedar. I noticed you when you came in not to long ago with your father, talking about the finishing of the construction of the sanctuary, but I never got a chance to introduce myself."[/color] [color=lightpink]"Bypass the formalities Charlie, I already know who you are."[/color] Budew sputtered cute nonsensical noises from inside Fantasia's bag. [color=lightpink]"Oh, this is my sweet Budew, isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen? Where is your Pokemon?"[/color] [color=lightblue]"I was actually just now heading into the Sanctuary to capture a Pokémon. I would have bought one, but I figure that I would have a deeper connection catching the Pokémon myself than buying it from a glass showcase. Would you like to accompany me?"[/color] She scoffed, rolling her eyes. [color=lightpink] "You and I both know my Budew is better than anything you'd find in there. They probably filled those Pokeball's with Pidgey's and Pidove."[/color] She placed Budew back inside her bag, making sure the sweet bud was at ease. [color=lightpink] "If you are going on this 'self righteous' humble journey with the commoners, to each their own; I'm just not trying to get this expensive gown dirty, you go ahead and pick up your [i]Zubat[/i] and I'll wait right here, okay?"[/color] With that, she scurried him off in a passive-aggressive type manner, she wasn't sure internally if she was more insulted that he insinuated bought Pokemon don't love you the same - or if what he is saying might be true. Did Budew really love her, or was she just forced to?
