Alola League, Ahe vs. Hala, Past
Ahe: Use your ranged attacks! Don't let it get close to you!
Magala: <Eat Dragon Pulse!>
-Magala does use Dragon Pulse on Primeape. He staggers, but charges forwards-
Primeape: < I'M GONNA- (unintelligible) -UNTIL YOU'RE- (unintelligible) -YOUR MOTHER- (unintelligible) -WITH A FUCKING SPOON! >
-Primeape slams into Magala with his Outrage. Surprisingly, Magala takes it, but barely-
Primeape became confused due to fatigue!
...He's still mad as hell, though
Primeape: <(inarticulate scream of rage)>
Magala: < HAVE FUN WITH DRACO METEOR!>
-Magala launches the Draco Meteor straight at Primeape. It explodes, knocking Primeape out-
-Hala sends out Crabominable-
Ahe: Return, Magala.
-Ahe does so and sends out Aurora-
Hala: Close Combat.
Aurora: <Nope!>
-She uses Protect. Close Combat bounces off of it-
Aurora: <Let's just end this.>
-Aurora slaps the ground. A jagged crack opens up, which Crabominable fall into. The crack closes, forcing Crabominable up. He is knocked out-
Ahe: Holy crap Fissure worked.
Aurora: <Holy crap Fissure worked.>
-Hala is also surprised-
Hala: I- er- congratulations! You've still got three more of us to go, so don't let your guard down!

Amber: Yeah! He's good on the inside!
Rémy: *Ahem!* Anyway, we're here.
Amber, Rémy and Evan are now in front of their Box. Remy grabs the cards he was give by the ticketmaster and opens the door. Ushering Evan and Amber inside.
Inside, the Box has it's own bar, kitchen, dining area and lounge. A glass door leads to the Box's private seats in the stadium. A small assortment of waiters and waitresses hold on standby.
Rémy: Well... What's mine is yours... Or whatever it is they say. So get yourself comfortable. The game will start in around 40 minutes so we can nibble on some hors d'oeuvres and entrées before the game starts.
Amber: Yum!
Cupid: <Awww man, my beak is watering just thinking about food! Why, I'm so hungry at the moment I'd even eat ice cream off the floor!>
Emilie: <Please don't do that, it's undignified.>
Rémy calls over the waitress
Rémy: Waitress, please bring out the Cloysters Rockerfeller s'il vous plait.
Waitress: Yes sir.
The waitress heads off to the kitchen, while Rémy hands Amber and Even a card.
Rémy: This card will allow you to get back into the Box if you need to leave for whatever reason. So... Don't lose it. Okay?

'Evan: Wow... this sure is a step up from the old Rustbucket, that's for sure.

Ballroom
-After those who are coming get here, Clara once again takes the mic.-Clara: Thank you all for going us here! Now without further ado, I present my youngest son, Renard!
-Polite applause as Ren walks onto the platform in front of the orchestra, the cane his team gave him for his birthday in his left hand and Cambria on his right arm. Rio walks on Ren's right side. Ren takes the mic from his mother and Cambria lets go of Ren's arm as he addresses the guests.-
Ren: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! Tonight, as you may have noticed, the tree is already decorated. That is because this time is special. As such, this shall be our greatest show for you! And now, family, friends, associates -Ren looks at Cambria- And loved ones; My team, My fiance, and myself are proud to present to you the crowning achievements of this last year. Set to a song from the recent movie about a man who paved the way for people in my chosen profession. This is The Greatest Show!
-The lights in the grand hall dim to almost complete darkness when sudden the orchestra erupts into life with a sudden, jazzy string of brass chords as the dance floor erupts in bright colors in time with the chords when suddenly a set of three spot lights blast on revealing some of Ren's mon on one of the "tables" - which were apparently really just special stages serving double duty. Although the lights also reveal that Ren appears to not be where he was just standing.-
-After a few bars of music - during which the lights in the floor begin to swirl... The jazzy chords sound again, causing the lights in the floors to stop the flash in-time with the chords as another set of Ren's team is illuminated on another table.-
-The pattern of excited music with swirling lights leading to the jazzy chords with the flashing lights continues. With each set of chords sung by a different group of mon from Ren's team...-
-This time the music stops as Ren appears in the center of the room, now wear a a silver-sequined vest over a purple-sequined cropped jacket with bell-sleeves, a glossy silk dress shirt, purple slacks, and a black top hat. The cane Ren is now holding has a highly polished black shaft with a equally vibrant silver knob-handle. Ren's head is slightly tilted forward as his hands rest on the handle of the cane. Ren turns to his head to his right as he begins to sing with his mon backing him up.-
-All of the guests back up from Ren as he directs the spotlights as they flash in time with the jazzy chords again-
-As Ren builds the final line of the verse Obscura swirls around him...-
-And with a final swirl of Dark-type energy, Ren is revealed to have apparently taken - at least to those in the know - a borked poke-Form, Albeit one that favors the Pokemon aspects with a human-like body. The resulting form even has lengthened Ren's nose and mouth into a snout and Ren's clothes have seem to have completely vanished and have been replaced by fur that gives the same effects as the materials his clothes had. Almost all of the various non-J-Team guests gasp in amazement. Some even can be heard whispering about the "impressive make-up and wardrobe". Ren begins the trot towards the orchestra, as posing, twirling, and kick-stepping as he goes, the party-goers politely make a path for Ren's approach before moving back after he has passed-
-As Ren finishes the final line of the per-chorus, he reaches Rio and Cambria at the orchestra and spins in place to turn and face the audience... And as Ren spins, Obscura swirls around the entirety of Ren's team, shifting them to borked forms as well - all with the same ratio human/ Pokemon Ren has. Some look scary. Some look odd. Some look beautiful. But all of them look amazing as the the stages begin rise up and float in the air as multi-colored strobe lights flash along the the edges of the mini-stages as the lights in the dance floor swirl and flash as the troupe begin to sing in unison-
-As Ren sings the post chorus, Ren takes Cambria's hand and pulls toward him, wrapping his arm around her waist, they begin to dance in freestyle, first turning in place, then with various under and overarm turns as Rio throws some aura spheres into the air, which softly break apart causing shimmering blue particles to swirl through out the room.-
-At the final note of that line, Ren swings his arm and points at Cambria, who spins into to air as her voice soars and stays in the air as she sings.-
-Now the other members of Ren's team with auric and/or obscuric affinities begin to throw out small balls of thier aura and obscura, which also break apart creating a fireworks-like display as Ren literally steps into the air and joins Cambria once again as they begin to dance above the guests amid the galaxy of Auric and obscuric particles.-
-With greater intensity Rio flings a vibrant ball of aura towards Ren and Cambria. Which rather than hitting them, it explodes in chain of blue and silver aura "fireworks" that circle Ren and Cambria as they dance. Ren is smiling at Cambria as she sings while they dance in the air.-
-As the outro is performed, the floating stages begin to return to their original positions, now giving the audience an even clearer view of Ren's Borked team, with each group performing a different bit of choreography as Ren and Cambria slowly descend back towards the the area in front of the orchestra.-
-As the final bit plays, Ren and Cambria end their dance by arching their and twisting their backs to face the audience, each with one arm in the air with the other wrapped around each other's waist. Similarly, Ren's teams were slowing raising their arms during the final crescendo. And as the final note sounds, obscura once again swirls around the performers, brief obscuring them before revealing them in their normal forms - except Cambria who is human.-
-The lights in the floor and many spotlights dim as the main lights in the room come back on as the audience erupts into applause.-
Reactions are now welcome, bows will be in my next Post. Hope you all enjoyed this post!

He heard the announcement and the music kick up, which - to him - was loud enough to be overheard. A good tune, he considered, but there was probably something going on over there he was missing out on. "You guys wanna check it out?" He offered to the kitsunes, semi-aware that it sounded like the song was coming to a close.
