Twelfth Melody [Text]

[melodicnocturne]

Jack, made it to Goldenrod this morning. I'll be around the stores looking for costume ideas, so feel free to look out for me if you're around there today.

If you see a guy in a coat with long red hair and black tips following me, don't worry. His name's Fugue and he's a Zoroark. He's really good at transforming and likes to show off sometimes. A lot of people have asked about him before, so I wanted to give you a heads-up.

Sorry if this is a bother, but I'm looking for someone by the name of Other Father. Jack told me to try and contact you once I got to Goldenrod City, I'm a traveling musician and I plan to attend his party. I can give you a show of my skills if you'd like, as I was wondering if you'd be open to a second act performing with you. I can do other things if you'd prefer to play solo, though.

[Fugue for his own part at this moment? Loving the attention more than he probably should. So much so that he actually grins a bit, which then shows off that under his human lips are a perfectly Zoroark set of chompers, sharp and canine. However, once the Zoroark realizes he's grinning he quickly looks off and straightens his expression. Gotta look cool, gotta look cool.]

Here, actually. At the breeding center. It was....actually probably a few weeks after I arrived, I wanted to find some other 'mons to start off with besides Alto.

[Demyx had been watching Fugue the whole time, entirely amused at how much of a show-off the little Zorua he had months and months ago has grown up to be. Then again, he wasn't going to let the moment slide without a quick quip.]

Y'know, I always figured you loved an audience.

[Fugue quickly bristles, then looks over grumpily toward Demyx. A half-hearted growl and some flailings of his arms are aimed toward the offending blond, but the disguised Zoroark makes it clear he isn't very flustered by his trainer's chiding.

Demyx chuckles and steps out of the way of the arms, raising his own jokingly to guard.]

Hey, c'mon, just kidding... Grump!

[Fugue rolls his eyes and grins again, then settles down again and decides to watch Jack out of curiosity.]

When I started out, it was me, Alto, Fugue, and Capello the Murkrow. Then, I caught a Solosis during the psychic swarm...Then Courage the cowardly Onix. Then Jazz...Heh, 'Courage' the cowardly Onix and Jazz the Growlithe of 'Justice.' Man, I attract the weirdest friends...

Anyway, the Zorua are illusionary species. They have the power to transform themselves using illusions into other pokemon or human shapes. When they evolve, that power gets super-strong. In fact, the 'gear says some Zoroark are able to make illusions large enough to disguise entire dens. Like...house sized illusions, just from one of these big guys. Can you imagine? Bet you could make one heck of a haunted house with that power.

You don't say.

<sub>[Jack grins at the two of them. It made him happy to see trainers so close to their pokemon. He was a little sad that he didn't spend nearly as much time with his younger pokemon as he should have.]

[Demyx read his mind. If it weren't for the inevitable insanity that came with Halloween (and not the good kind) he would have asked to borrow the illusionary fox.]</sub>

You know, I work at the breeding center and I never thought to look in on them. I'll have to fix that! So! Have you decided what you're going to be for Halloween?
