Shalour Gym
Robin: Mega Evolution...Sounds interesting. I wonder how it works.
Duosion: Maybe we can stop by. We might be able to learn something.
Robin: Or we can just head straight to the next city; the Skiddo Ranch on the way sounds fun? Eh? No? Fine... Is it possible to stop by, to take a peak?

Robin: Alright, I know where we're heading!
Duosion: The Pokemon Center, preferrably...
Robin: Then that Tower!
Tower of Mastery, a few minutes later:
Robin, with Ferroseed rolling close behind, enters the tower, to look around.
Robin: That's a large statue.
Ferroseed: ...
Robin: Oh...Almost forgot that only Duosion can do that. Awkward...Ahem. Korrina mentioned a Mega Evolution Guru of some kind?
Ferroseed: -nods-
Robin: I wonder if he's here...Honestly, this whole Mega evolving thing sounds pretty cool.

Robin: I guess no one is here. And that guy won't let me see the upper parts of the tower. Siiiiigh, I guess there's nothing here, might as well go to the Skiddo Ranch!
Ferroseed: -rolls eyes-
Duosion: Come on, we haven't been waiting that long!
Robin: Yes, but I want to see the Skiddo Ranch. Hey, admit it; you do to. There's no shame in admitting it!
Duosion: -blushes
Robin: I thought so. This place wasn't all that great, anyway!

Hotel Richissime
Lyuri was just spending some time in Hotel Richissime sitting on a sofa and reading a comic book when Duke approached her, looking somewhat awkward.
"Hey Lyuri." he said with a friendly smile, though it seemed more like he was trying to cover something else with that smile, like nervousness.
"Hey Duke. What’s up?" asked Lyuri, smiling back.
"I was wondering if... You want to go out with me today"” asked Duke, rubbing the back of his neck.
Lyuri chuckles and gives Duke a cheerful look "A date huh? Sure! Just let me get ready." she said, with a quite pleased tone.
She then heads upstairs and after a while she comes back in her Lucario coat and carrying a map of the city in her hand.
"Okay, where do you want to go?" asked Lyuri.
"How about one of the cafes around the city?"
"Hmm... Why not just a restaurant? I’m feeling kinda hungry right now so I need more food than a café can give me." said Lyuri, with a grin
"Well... All right, let’s go then?”" asked Duke, with a more honest smile
Lyuri just nods and the couples heads out on rollerskates, off to their date.
Lumiose City
They dash through the city right alongside each other, occasionally glancing at each other and smiling
"By the way, you’re the one paying right?" asked Lyuri, with a knowing smirk
Duke’s smile turns into a grimace immediately "Uh… I don’t have money on me… All the money I have it’s you who gives it to me so..."
"Oh yeah, I forgot my boyfriend was a hobo." said Lyuri, with a playful wink and smirk
Duke just blushes in embarrassment, despite being well aware that Lyuri didn’t really mind it.
"So, hey, how about a race to the Sushi High Roller? The one who wins chooses what the loser has to eat!" proposed Lyuri, with a challenging grin as she showed the location of the restaurant to Duke in the map.
"A race? Well, I accept it..."
Due to being distracted, Lyuri didn't notice that she was about to crash into a tree, fortunately Duke quickly pulled her out of the way, almost making her lose her balance in the process.
"... Just try to not hit any trees in the way." said Duke, with a smirk
He then lets go of Lyuri and starts speeding up and leaving her behind
"Cheater!" yelled Lyuri
As they race, they end up taking different routes to get to the restaurant, of course, they were too focused in going fast to care about it. Upon reaching the Sushi High Roller, Duke and Lyuri both arrive at the same time in the alley where the restaurant was located. Duke came from the south and Lyuri from the north, they both dash towards the restaurant, but Duke decides to slow down a bit to not risk an injury, unfortunately Lyuri didn't seem to particularly care about what happened, she ended up going too fast and went right past the restaurant and crashing right into Duke, who holds her in his arms as they both fall to the ground. Lyuri's face was buried on Duke's chest for a moment before she raised her head and met with her smiling boyfriend.
"I guess you won." said Duke, still holding Lyuri.
"Yeah, I guess I did..." said Lyuri, with a small smile.
They then get up and dust themselves before entering the restaurant.
Sushi High Roller
Upon getting inside, the place was surprising empty and Lyuri quickly got her wallet in hands and went to the counter.
"So, how much do I have to pay to dine here?" asked Lyuri.
"500.000." said the man in the counter with a bored look.
Lyuri just jaw drops and stays still for a few seconds and then leaves without a word.
"... How come this restaurant costs five times more than the best hotel in the city?" asked Duke as he followed Lyuri.
Lumiose City
"Let's look for a less outrageous restaurant, I think there's a good one called the Le Wow." said Lyuri, looking at the map.
"Sure thing." said Duke, with a smile.
Lyuri then starts leading the way to the Le Wow restaurant, this time they decide to simply go walking together. Lyuri was focused in reading the map, while Duke was just looking at his surroundings and appreciating the ambient.
Restaurant Le Wow
The couple arrived and upon hearing a much more reasonable price, they waited for their table. It was taking quite a while and they were hardly the first ones to be waiting as well, it was quite the contrast from the previous restaurant. Duke was just standing and waiting while Lyuri was leaning against the wall, until she got a mischievous smile on her face. Before Duke could even realize Lyuri had moved, she had started to tickle him on his side, sending him in quite the loud laughing fit that also made Lyuri herself start laughing. Duke's composure was complete lost as he tried to make Lyuri stop, which she soon did.
"Why... Why did you do that?" asked Duke, his expression a mix of amusement and confusion as he tried to regain his composure.
"I was just bored, besides..." said Lyuri, letting out a few chuckles "I wanted to hear you laugh. You usually just chuckle or snicker, I don't think I've ever seen your burst into laughter like that." she smiles.
Duke just gives a rather exasperated sigh and ruffles his hair a bit. Lyuri gives him a cheerful look, but stays silent for a bit before opening her mouth
"You should laugh like that. You have a great, fun laugh and it's contagious just for how unlike you it is to laugh like that."
Duke gives her a rather surprised look "You think? Well... Thanks."
Duke then wraps his arm around Lyuri and they just stand there waiting and noticing the odd glances they got from other people. Suddenly Lyuri enters a laughing fit as Duke had started to tickle her in the stomach with his other hand with a satisfied grin on his face.
"Stop...! Stop...!" said Lyuri, as she barely could stop laughing.
Duke then stops and just smirks at Lyuri as she recovers from her fit
"I guess... Two can play this game." said Lyuri, chuckling a bit and looking downright exhausted.
"You have a pretty fun laugh as well, though I suppose it doesn't take much to make you laugh." said Duke, chuckling
"Just you wait, I'll have the last laugh in this."
Duke shrugs "You already did."
Lyuri folds her arms with an unamused expression "Very funny."
Eventually they finally get their table and sit down, Lyuri orders the food for both of them due to winning their race but doesn't order anything she thinks Duke wouldn't like.
"Say... Duke... Have you ever thought about our future?" asked Lyuri, as she tapped the handle of a fork on the table, looking pensive.
"You mean... Settling down and having children?" asked Duke
Lyuri nods "What do you plan on doing? Are you going to stay like that forever from then on keeping your real identity a secret, or will you reveal it early?"
Duke stops to give the question some thought "... I guess living a double life is always a possibility. We could just tell whatever kid we have what's up with me or keep it a secret, either way, I don't plan on giving up on my origins."
"I see... Do you plan on getting a job or something?"
"Maybe I could become a martial arts teacher. Maybe open my own dojo? The training I'm doing with you and Herbert is going fine and fast, so maybe I am fit for teaching after all." he then smiles "And you?"
"Well... I bet you'd be a succesful teacher, so I think I'll be just a housewife and take care of our kid and the house. It's fine to me, it's a way to get away from stress, well, part of it." said Lyuri, looking pensive, but then giving a smirk "For once you'll be the one that has to pay stuff with your own money."
Duke gives a rather nervous chuckle in response to the small jab "I guess we already have our future all thought out." he said, trying to change the subject slightly
Lyuri gives a rather sad smile "Yeah... We do..."
Duke was about to ask Lyuri if there was something was wrong when their orders arrived, Lyuri began to eat.
"Wow, this is pretty good!" said Lyuri, trying to change the subject, but she seemed to be genuinely enjoying the food.
Duke then proves the dish that Lyuri ordered for him
"... Yeah. It really is." said Duke, his concerned not really allowing him to enjoy the food.

After finishing eating, the couple was back outside, just looking around
"So... Is there anything else you want to do?" asked Duke
"Hmmm..." said Lyuri as she tried to think of something, then giving a smile "I know! Let's go to an arcade! This city must have at least one!"
"All right."
Lyuri and Duke then start looking for an arcade somewhere in the city
Lumiose Arcade
Lyuri and Duke were playing a shooting game and seeing who could get the most points in it before losing, the former ended up taking quite a while to lose.
"Oh wow, you broke the high score." said Duke, looking both amused and somewhat scared "Remind me to not ever let you get hold of a gun."
Lyuri gives a proud smile "Your turn, let's see how fast you are on the trigger."
Duke seemed a bit nervous, but still accepted the challenge. He didn't last nearly as long as Lyuri in the game
"You take way too long aiming! By the time you fired you'd be dead twice over!" said Lyuri in a incredulous tone.
"Never to take me to a war where firearms are involved I guess." said Duke, sweatdropping "What now?"
"Hmmm..."
Lyuri then scans the arcade for something fun and she quickly finds the typical DDR stage and smirks
"How about some dancing?"
"E-Eh...?" asked Duke, already dreading the idea "But I-"
"You just need some good rhythm and you'll be fine, you don't even really need to dance that much! What, are you too manly to do it?" asked Lyuri, with a daring smile
Duke sighs and just gives Lyuri a half-hearted nod of agreement. The girl then drags him to the stage and teaches him how to play.
"Now what song..." said Lyuri, looking at all the songs in the game "... Oooh, I didn't know they had this!"
They start playing the game and, to Duke's surprise, Lyuri started singing along as she played and she put quite a lot of effort into her singing. Duke almost felt like stopping and just listening to her sing, but he kept on just to not disappoint Lyuri. He ended up having quite a lot of fun much to his own surprise. Once they were done they got off the stage, Lyuri being the clear winner again
"Okay, I'm going to teach you the art of playing videogames when we get back to the hotel." said Lyuri, folding her arms in mock frustration
Duke just chuckles "By the way, you're a great singer. Your voice distracted me while I was playing, was that your cunning plan?" he asked, smiling
Lyuri blushes, clearly embarrassed "O-Oh... I guess I got a little carried away."
"Can I ask a favor?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you record a... What's the term again... Cover, of the song? I would love to be able to hear you singing whenever I want."
Lyuri blushes even harder "I guess I could ask Hikari to help me do that."
"Great! So, anywhere else you want to go?" asked Duke, looking quite happy
"Uh... Yeah... I wanna see the city... At night. On the top of the Prism Tower." said Lyuri, her face getting less red
Duke raises an eyebrow "But you-"
"It's fine."
Duke looks worried for a moment, but then gives a hint of a smile "All right then, to the Prism Tower we go."
