Luan went to Anthony's house and knocked on the door. Anthony answered it.

Anthony: Are you here to punch me in the face?

Luan: No.

Anthony: Kick me in the stomach?

Luan: No.

Anthony: Dip my head in a bucket of Corsola spit?

Luan: Why would you even….no.

Anthony: Then what form of pain are you here to cause me?

Luan: I'm not here to cause you any pain. I'm here because I've got these two tickets to Stairs Con and…

Anthony: You wanna give the second ticket to someone who lives here or someone who doesn't live here but is here currently?

Luan: …..Is there someone here who doesn't live here?

Anthony: Just you.

Luan: Then why did you say…?

Anthony: Is the person you wanna take to Stairs Con me by any chance?

Luan: No. It's Emolga.

Emolga heard Luan say her name, so she took a Translation Pill and came outside.

Emolga: You want me to come with you? I'd love to, but I thought you hated me because I ruined your life.

Luan: You didn't ruin my life. Actually, I've been meaning to apologize to you. That's why I'm inviting you to come to Stairs Con with me.

Emolga: Apology accepted, assuming this isn't a trick and you're gonna take me somewhere where you can get your revenge without any witnesses around.

Anthony: It's not.

Luan: Yeah, didn't Anthony tell you that my family found out and they all like it?

Eureka: Anthony doesn't tell us anything.

Grace: Someone shut the door!

Anthony shut the door.

Anthony: Are you sure you wanna bring Emolga? She can't truly appreciate stairs, she can fly. She's probably never touched a stair once in her life.

Luan: As a stairs connoisseur, I can confirm that walking on stairs is far from the only way to enjoy them.

Anthony: Finding other ways to enjoy something because you can't enjoy them the normal, expected way?...I can relate to that.

Anthony went back inside.

Luan: So, how's it been going?

Emolga: Awesomely. I found out recently that Anthony's friend Karli is my twin sister.

Luan: Your sister is a human? How is that even possible?

Emolga opened her mouth to begin explaining.

One Exposition Later

Emolga: So that means the two of us aren't siblingless like we thought we were.

Luan: Wow. That's crazy. It's also a weird coincidence because the day after you bit me, Anthony for some reason was convinced you must be someone's twin. I wish I could remember what it was he said exactly. It was so stupid and ridiculous.

Emolga made a nervous "Yep. It's definitely just a coincidence, nothing more." face. Luan didn't notice it.

Luan: You ready to go now?

Emolga: Yes, absolutely. Actually, no, wait. There was something I wanted to ask you something.

Luan: …..Uhh…

Emolga: What?

Luan: You said "something" twice.

Emolga: I did? Sorry.

Luan: You don't need to be sorry. Now what did you wanna ask me?

Emolga: Is shooting electricity and walking down stairs the only powers you have?

Luan: I'm glad you asked. Pretty much the second I got home after the vacation I went on with my family, my sister Lisa dragged me to her room and started "doing experiments" on me.

Emolga (with her eye twitching because this is a SpongeBob reference): Did she find out anything?

Luan: We found out that you DID give me more powers. For one, I can do this.

Luan used the move Hidden Power.

Emolga: Is that Hidden Power?!

Luan: It is.

Emolga: Did you go talk to the person in Anistar City to see what type the move is for you?

Luan: No, but I tested it out a little and we figured out that its Psychic type.

Emolga: Okay. Cool. I know that move too and mine's Water. I think. I'm pretty sure. But if you know Hidden Power because I do, how come your Electric move isn't the same as either of mine?

Diancie floated by.

Diancie: It's because those moves suck…because you suck.

Diancie went inside.

Luan: Don't listen to her. Shauna and Serena can fly and they were bitten by Eeveelutions. This "Pokémon biting you and giving you superpowers" thing, it uhh…how do I put this?

Emolga: It does whatever it wants?

Luan: I guess. But speaking of flying, guess what the other power me and Lisa found out I have is.

Emolga: Is it to spit fire?

Luan: Lisa would've like that, but no.

Luan rose up off the ground.

Emolga: *gasp* It's the ability to fly?! It is the ability to fly, right? Not just hover above the ground a little?

Luan: It's the ability to fly. And it actually makes sense this time!

Emolga: So does this mean we're gonna fly to Stairs Con together?

Luan: As awesome as that would be, we can't. I can't let anybody see.

Emolga: I understand. I can see why you feel that way….Let's go.

Luan: Let's go!

Luan and Emolga started leaving Vaniville Town.

Emolga: It's probably for the best we don't fly anyway. Then you'd have to kiss me and erase my memory.

Luan didn't understand why Emolga said that.

Emolga: I'm referencing the Superman movies…I'm a DC fan….So, what's your opinion on escalators?

Luan: Don't even get me started on those.

Later, Luan and Emolga arrived at Stairs Con. There were many beautiful sets of stairs for them to walk on and look at. But there was something Luan thought was strange.

Luan: I love this! Look at all these spectacular stairs! But where is everybody? Are we the only…

The person who started Stairs Con started talking oven an intercom. Her voice did not sound like any of Luan's sisters.

?: Unfortunately, you and Emolga are the only attendees. I held Stairs Con in the hopes that I could find more stairs enthusiasts. But I guess there aren't any others on this planet. It's just me and you.

Emolga: Only two people in the whole world? That seems so unlikely.

Luan: It's not necessarily just me and this other person. Maybe there's others, but they live far away and don't like stairs enough to want to come all this way. Or maybe Stairs Con just wasn't advertised enough.

?: And one more thing. Sorry about that dramatic speech I just gave. It's not usually how I talk. With that said, enjoy Stairs Con.

Luan: Okay, that was weird.

The person talking on the intercom was in another room and it was Luan Special, disguising her voice. She wanted to leave the secret room and go see the stairs, but she couldn't because she couldn't let the other Luan see her. So she settled for looking at pictures of stairs on a phone.

Luan: Yeah, because this is just as good.
