Ziggy:
The tables are put out but undecorated, and you can see Tristan and two other waitresses frantically picking flowers in the nearby gardens. The waitress taking a smoke break smiles at you. "Sure cutie." She hands you a cigarette and gives you a light. "Wanna give us a hand setting up? It'd go twice as fast with a strong lookin' guy like you."
"If I help you finish faster, does that mean you would have time to show me around a little afterward?" Ziggy asked while performing his trademark 'tip the sunglasses and wink'. "I've never been able to make it out to Yakka Yakka before, maybe you could show me a thing or two?" Ziggy continued to flirt shamelessly as he helped.

#Depending on my charm roll, we may want to fast forward for Ziggy too ;)

Kylar:
You and Mandy get back to Yakka Yakka Farms in no time, seemingly invigorated for some reason. As you arrive to the main drag and spot guests streaming in, you feel slightly out of place. Most people appear to be in suits and fancy dresses, while you're in practical Ranger gear. Mandy looks fabulous as always, of course. "Come on, we don't want to miss Lady Flash! ...And Ziggy." Mandy tugs you hand and leads you through this cute little flower covered pathway and to the back. You see a large stage ready to go, and the beautiful layout Tristan created. The smell of Jonathan's delicious food is wafting from the kitchen. You spot Ziggy chatting with some nervous mustachio'd dude in a suit.

Ziggy:
The waitress laughs a little. She obviously finds you charming. "Honestly there's not much to see out here, unless you're into farmland. But I can still show you around."

You help the waitresses and Tristan put out the tables, pluck and arrange flowers, and make sure everything looks good. This is your show too - making it look awesome is a bonus for you. You small chat with the waitress (Valerie, from Rainshadow, wanted to get away from the city) and she seems impressed when she finds out you're the opening act.

Before you know it, time has flown by. It's 7:40 and a lot of fancy looking guests are starting to stream in, looking for their seats. "Sorry Ziggy, but that tour may have to wait until after the show," she says with a wink. "Break a leg up there! Can't wait to hear your stuff." She runs off to the kitchen with the other waitresses to start serving drinks.

Alfred pops up again. He still looks nervous, but doesn't seem mad at you anymore since everything else seems to be going so well. "Are you ready? Let me explain how this will work. You get a half hour to play starting ASAP, right after I make brief introductions."

#Roll the following checks: Intuition to read the crowd, Focus to see how well you play, Command for how well all your Pokemon do, and Charm for how you're received overall. All these will contribute to how people view your performance. Try to describe each of these a little.

"After your set, you'll partake in a battle concert with Lady Flash - what an honor!" You realize Lady Flash is probably really looking forward to kicking your ass at this point. "You can choose 3 Pokemon to use, and you will have 7 rounds to compete. I'm sure you're familiar with all the rules."

#I'll walk you through it when we get there

"After that Lady Flash will go on, and you'll be done for the night. Say...didn't you have handlers?" Right as he asks, you see Kylar and Mandy appear, Mandy looking perfect as usual, Kylar looking disheveled with a shit eating grin.

Jonathan:
The servers are starting to take out the appetizers as you still work on the main course and dessert. Sadly you realize you're probably going to miss Ziggy's act since you'll still be in the kitchen, but knowing him you'll hear it through the walls. You should be done in time to see him fight Lady Flash.

Tristan:
You're dapper looking and well behaved enough that Alfred gives you a seat at an extra half filled table at the back. You notice the two seats next to you have signs that read "Reserved for Ziggy Trax's staff," which strikes you as odd until you notice Kylar walk in with that girl you saw training on Route 2.

The kitchen (aka Jonathan) managed to squeeze out an extra plate for you, and you're excited to finally try Jonathan's food. You get the Oddish Leaf Soup with Figyberry Broth, which you thought was great - the Oddish leaves really did make it. You're also very happy since it means he found a creative non-violent way to utilize the Oddishes. Another patron at the table gives you one of their extra GoGoat Cheese Fritters w/ XH-IPA Beer Batter and Wikiberry Tempura, which was also very yummy, but a little heavy.

The guests are all getting seated, all very well dressed and looking like the 10,000 Pokeyen admission fee was chump change to them. Then you spot the main VIP of the night taking her seat at the main table - Loretta Steel, head of the Rainshadow City branch of NanoKlink Incorporated. She looks like she's probably in her mid 50s, but fantastic looking for her age. Her platinum white hair is styled into a short, modern cut, and she's dressed in a haute coutoure steel gray suit, with red and black Krookodile stilettos. She looks cool and professional as throngs of people try to shmooze with her, and there is definitely air of power around her and that tiniest little smirk on her face.

"Oh, hello again Kylar! I was worried I wouldn't see you again after leaving town," he says while taking the two of them in. "And it's a pleasure to meet you, Mandy!" he says, taking her hand. What a girl like her was doing with a guy like Kylar, Tristan wasn't sure. She was definitely out of his league. Small towns, he said to himself about the situation, and left it at that.

"I'm glad you could join us tonight, both of you," he says with a smile. "I hope you enjoy the ambience! I worked hard today to ensure things looked just right. If you look closely, you can see my little Cordelia up there at the head table. Quite the little water feature, eh?" A grin crosses his lips. "Oh, and here comes Ruby now!" he exclaims when the little Flabebe flitted over toward their table. "How are things going little girl?", he asked her once he finished a bit of Gogoat Milk fritter. "Ba-bay!" she exclaimed, happily. She was a little shy, but hiding among the flowers was an entertaining little game for her. He'd decided last-minute to let Felix roam above the guests too, occasionally landing on a flowerpot to give the scenery a bit more whimsy. He was currently over at a table near the front, and guests seemed to be loving his beautiful wings.

Once Mandy and Kylar got settled, he kept his gaze focused mainly on the VIP table, hoping things went smoothly there. That Loretta Steele was chic as hell, and she knew it. Mechanics weren't his thing, but he respected her for living the look. He kept a lookout for anything that might become a problem.

Kylar couldnt believe he didnt think to bring any other clothes with him. He definitely felt outra place, but for Mandy, and Ziggy of course, Kylar would just deal with it. "A formal rock show. Interesting",Kylar leans toward Tristan, "I can't help but notice you staring at that table. Worried bout somethin'?"

"Oh, just making sure things go swimmingly at the VIP table," Tristan says. "Making sure there isn't anything too amiss there, and that Cordy doesn't spray anyone important," he says with a chuckle. "My job isn't fully done until the party's over."

Everything seems to go swimmingly at the VIP table now that everyone has taken their seats except Alfred. Loretta Steel is chatting with Cassandra, as they both watch the cute Budew making a little fountain with mild amusement. You can hear Gertrude's cackling and chatting all the way from the back of the room, and Ivy is nodding intently. Leo and Francis seem to be more interested in their drinks than each other. It looks like Tristan managed to make the perfect seating plan.

Kylar smiles at Tristan, "They seem to be having a great time. Don't worry."

You all notice that Alfred has taken to the stage, the spotlight shining brightly on him. People slowly begin to notice and clap in appreciation. "Thank you, thank you." The crowd quiets down, and now all you can hear are the occasional clink of glasses as people drink their spritzers. "Thank you all for coming. We at Yakka Yakka Farms are so happy to be able welcome all of you, especially our special guests from NanoKlink who have graciously helped sponsor not only this event, but the amazing facilities we have here." Polite applause. "If it weren't for state of the art agritech from NanoKlink, Yakka Yakka Farms would not have the award winning PokeProduce we are so proud of today. Now, I hope you are all enjoying your food," some cheers from the crowd, "and I know you're excited for the amazing Lady Flash." There's such an uproar at that, that Alfred has to wait a bit for the crowd to calm down. "But first, we have a special treat for all of you out of towners! A local legend from Pokane...please give a warm welcome to Ziggy Trax!"

Alfred beckons Ziggy to take the stage, and steps down.
