"One final stitch here..." Rina said, pulling the sewing needle, "And finished! I'm pleased to say that we've completed all our outfits for tomorrow's fashion expo!"

The others and I cheered, as well as our Pokémon and Leavanny.

When we arrived at Yelena's villa, it was late into the evening, and we decided to take a well-earned rest. We just finished our runway looks for Yelena's fashion exhibition tomorrow!

I stepped back and admired our outfits posed on the mannequins.

"You've truly outdone yourself, Rina," I said, "They all look amazing!"

"I couldn't have done without you guys." Rina said.

"Yes, you could've!" Elsu said, "You made the clothes we're wearing now!"

Rina smiled sheepishly as a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

"Aw, thanks, El!" Rina said, "That means... everything!"

Leavanny walked over and happily cried out as it waved its cutters around.

"Thanks for all your help, Leavanny!" Rina said.

The Nurturing Pokémon smiled as it bowed before our pink-haired friend. Then, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Rina said.

With Rina's permission, Yelena entered the room with a silver fox-like Pokémon. I took out my Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon in front of me.

"Ninetales, the Fox Pokémon. It is said to live 1,000 years, and each of its tails is loaded with supernatural powers. Very smart and very vengeful. Grabbing one of its many tails could result in a 1,000-year curse."

That's strange. The picture shows that Ninetales has golden fur, but Yelena's is silver. Could this be a...?

"Yelena, your Ninetales," I began, "Is it shiny?"

"Good eye, Eragona," Yelena answered, "Luna here is often with me when I'm promoting a new clothing line, like tomorrow."

"That's right; you make clothes for people and Pokémon." Rina chimed in.

Yelena nodded with a grin. She then looked behind us, and her eyes sparkled.

"Oh, my! Are these the outfits you will be wearing?" she asked, walking up to the clothes.

"They sure are," Kat said, "We finished them not too long ago."

The fashion icon ran her fingers along the clothes, her smile growing with each passing minute.

"They're beautiful!" Yelena said, "And what of your Pokémon?"

"Well, we were so focused on making clothes for us, along with running into some trouble, we couldn't find the time to make anything for them." Nina said regrettably.

Yelena nodded before straightening her posture. She looked at each outfit and hummed to herself.

Are we in trouble...?

"What Pokémon will you have to accompany you on the runway?" she asked suddenly.

The question caught us off guard, startling us.

"Which Pokémon will you have with you on the runway?" Yelena parroted.

"I was gonna have my Eevee, Libby, be with me." I said, nuzzling my partner's cheek.

"My Sylveon, Angel." Kat said.

"My Snubbull." Rina said.

"I guess my Totodile." Eric said.
