Well hello everyone out there!

[There's a pretty girl on the screen all of a sudden.

Wait. It's hard to tell, but that's actually a dude in drag. Hopefully you have good perception-- if not? Kuranosuke's not going to correct anyone who mistakes him for a girl. He's got on make up, a lusciously full blonde wig, and pink from head to toe apart from his black miniskirt.

It looks like he's making this broadcast from the business district, and he's speaking with a girly lilt to his voice-- what, gotta act the part if you're dressed up, right?]

It's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm sure. Let's get down to business, shall we?

I'm looking for anyone who's interested in entering contests. You see, Pearls and I here-- Prrriii! -- aaare looking to offer our services as Pokémon Stylists.

If you need a consultation, or maybe just need a refresher course of your own, please feel free to contact me and we'll see if I can help you. I'm looking for a special kind of client... so don't think you'll get away with it on the first meeting!

Anyway, just look into contacting Kuranosuke Koibuchi, alright?

[Koibuchi, as in Son-of-the-politician Koibuchi. He has no shame.]

Toodles!

[With a sigh, Kuranosuke ends the transmission and looks over at his Togepi. Dropping the feminine voice, he shrugs.]

Well, let's hope we don't get anyone boring.

Kura-po, you think everyone's boring nowadays.

I'm not wrong! There's never anyone with the right style. Everyone's always talking and talking- but it's like no one cares about what they do! I need something new.

[Pearls just lets out her own exasperated sigh. What is she going to do with this boy?]

Contests?

[Another person interested in Pokemon contests? Were they really that popular?

Also, someone has been working in the back room, so she--along with the Nidoking watching over her shoulder--are more than a bit dusty.]

Oh, that all sounds very exciting!

[Not that Merrill knows what half of it meant. But Kuranosuke's enthusiasm is contagious.]

Pokemon contests... Who cares about something like that? Don't you have any contests for people? ♫

[Len wants to win things.]

A special kind of client? [Ami actually had no interest in joining competitions or needing a stylist, honestly. Still, perhaps her pokemon would appreciate a day of grooming.[

[biteoutofcrime]

Koibuchi--like Keiichiro Koibuchi?

I didn't know he had a...

[Wait.

Kuranosuke is a boy's name.

The realization dawns slowly, but nothing can stop the sun from rising. Color rushes to Kuzuryuu's face as he figures out what's going on here.]

Ah.

[Fenris catches the human recording the message with such enthusiasm as he passes by. Thinking it's just another one of Union's lively inhabitants, he continues until the message finishes up and the oh-so-feminine voice from before is suddenly replaced with something very-much-masculine.

Please excuse this shiny Zorua as he stops walking past and stares very obviously, and very confusedly, at something he hasn't really encountered before. He knows of those who dress up as other genders, but he hasn't quite encountered anyone quite so...feminine before. At least when playing the part.]

[ Say hello to the gruffest lady you have ever seen. Has she been rolling in dirt? When was her last wash? Why is she wearing something that can only be called a potato sack and a helmet? There are a lot of questions. ]

Why would Pokemon need styling?

[celebrity_commentator]

I haven't heard of a Pokémon Stylist before, just coordinators who get really into the grooming part.

[She throws in a meaningful glance downward, not that Kuranosuke has any idea what that means.]

I also haven't heard of a daughter of the Koibuchi family, or a woman named Kuranosuke. Are you demonstrating your beauty skills right now, by chance?
