"Never better!" Mayor Mayer enthused, grinning warmly at Seras. "And I dearly hope the same for you, miss. I'm pleased to see the crown jewel of Kalos here." The brown-haired man looked around, waved at some other people standing nearby who might be avatars, and turned back to Seras with an ever-so-slight frown.

"We'll have to wait a bit to see if anyone else shows up," he added. "I apologize for the inconvenience, but the last thing I want is to leave anyone out."

Meanwhile, Porygon-Z eagerly zoomed toward the three avatars it had met earlier. It turned around and gave its trainer an exasperated look, as if the woman's calm pace was much too slow for this exciting event. The Pokemon seemed to decide that spinning its head in circles would help it release its energy until its trainer arrived.

"Welcome to the avatars' dinner with the mayor," Porygon-Z droned. It turned to the thin woman, who looked at the avatars with a mildly interested expression. "I now introduce friends Wells, Germaine, and Vuduin to master Justine."

"Justine Huang," the woman elaborated in a clear, precise voice. Many residents of Hoenn would recognize that name as the founder and CEO of Porytech, one of the world's leading technology corporations. The woman extended a slim hand to Wells, who happened to be the closest.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," Justine continued. "I hope you are pleased with this festival in your honor."
