Pokémon: The Legend of The Dragonic Esper (Revising)

Prologue Pt5: Fine Dining & Battling

The sun descends into the horizon as the sky turns into a brilliant shade of orange off the coast of Lilycove City. A small pod of Wailmer are bobbing along the surface as Mantine launch themselves out of the water. Trainer couples walk side by side on the pristine beach while admiring the sunset.

Narrator: Draco, Kira and their newest member Vincenzo walk towards the inner city section where most of the restaurants are located. The one they're heading to is a high tier restaurant that is famous for its Italian cuisine and it's a fantastic place for respectable entrepreneurs to plan their business dinners with their employees. With the trio approaching, how will the meeting with Vincenzo's parents unravel?

The boys arrived at the foot of the restaurant entrance only to see a long line of diners sitting on chairs placed against the wall. Draco speedwalks to the host and checks in for his reservation for three. The trio walk through the double doors and head inside. A tall man wearing all black with a red orange apron welcomes the boys.

Marco: "Welcome back again Draco, Kira and Signore Vincenzo!"

Vincenzo shows a rare smile and says with a calmer but excited tone.

Vincenzo: "Three years is too long Marco. It's great to see you in good health."

The host smiles warmly and gestures to follow him.

Marco: "Your table is this way, gentlemen."

As the trio follow Marco, Vincenzo turns to Draco and says.

Vincenzo: "You made a reservation at this place? It's expensive, you know."

The psychic boy replies with a smug smirk and holds up his trainer ID card which showcases the Pokémony amount in the seven digits. Seeing this shocked Vicenzo as he asked.

Vincenzo: "How?"

Draco puts his trainer ID card back in his pants left pocket and puts a finger on his mouth with a mischievous grin which only earned the irritating impatience for the young rich kid. The table is on the third floor which is close to the inner battle arena where some diners can wager some Pokémoney. It's one of the enthralling entertainment this high tier restaurant has to offer and because of this, many celebrities dine here.

The dynamic trio take a seat and spectate the battles below but quickly become bored with how lackluster it is. The waiter arrives and takes the order for drinks and leaves. To break the silence, Vincenzo takes a sip of iced Oran berry juice and shatters the ice with a hushed whisper.

Vincenzo: "How were you able to have that much currency, Draco?"

Draco's violent amethyst eyes lock onto the rich young master's amber orange eyes with a fierce glow. The stare down continued until the waiter arrived with the chosen drinks and leaves with a bow to Vincenzo.

With a sip of iced grepa berry juice, Draco sets his glass down and shoots his answer.

Draco: "I work part time on my grandpa's ship and my grandma's herbal medicine store. Along with the allowance my parents send me every week. I have an unhealthy habit of cleaning the beaches around closing time which yields some hidden treasure which I use to support my hobby of jewelry crafting."

The eyebrows of the ostentatious youth raise sky high in a slow manner as he processes this information. A few seconds later, an amused grin forms on his face and brings his glass up high towards Draco. Seeing this Draco raises his glass with Kira right behind him. The three say 'Salute' at the same time. They don't break eye contact while drinking their glass.

A different waiter comes to their table with a handwritten battle invitation from a group of older kids. After seeing the target that's directed to Draco, the esper stands up and jumps down right below, drawing the shock of the diners including Vincenzo. Kira shakes his head in annoyance at his cousin's display. Draco applies his telekinesis on himself as he floats down onto the battle arena.
