Nighttime has come, which means the party has now started. Lots of guests came in with their Pokémon well dressed. The tables have lots of food and drinks. There were flowers in the middle of each table.
Ash, Brock and the other guys were basically wearing identical tuxedos (except for Cilan since he doesn't need to change his clothes.). For the Pokémon the same thing except for their size.
"This is very exciting." Piplup said.
"It really is." Dedenne agrees with Piplup. " Hey Piplup. Where's Croagunk?" Dedenne said as he looked around.
"Oh he's busy following Brock everywhere to make sure he doesn't flirt with other girls. Because when Brock flirts, he'll get a Poison Jab to the butt." Buizel laughs.
"Oh that makes sense. But I can ask Croagunk if he should do the same for Bonnie whenever she tells pretty girls to take care of Clement?" Dedenne said.
Buizel shrugged "I guess."
Oshawott and Pikachu came wearing their tuxedos. Piplup sees them. "There two you are. Where have you been?"
"Oh we were just having a conversation, right Pikachu?" Oshawott said and then turned his head to Pikachu.
Pikachu nodded quickly. "Yup!"
Piplup and Dedenne both smiled. Dedenne noticed Pikachu was holding something behind him. "What are you hiding behind your back, Pikachu?"
"Nothing!" Pikachu immediately denied and blushed.
Buizel sneaks behind him and sees he is holding a rose. "Is that a rose you're holding?"
Pikachu immediately turns to Buizel and denie once again. "NO!"
Piplup and Dedenne started to smirk. "Is that rose for Buneary?"
Pikachu's blush was now so dark red. He then gives up, responds to Piplup's question and sighed. "Alright you got me. I'm planning on giving this rose to Buneary. Is that all you needed to hear?"
They all nodded. "I think it's a good thing for you Pikachu." Dedenne said.
"Yeah. I think Buneary would love the rose." Oshawott said to Pikachu.
"I hope so." Pikachu said quietly. "I know we've forgiven each other, but I thought if I gave her this flower she would forgive me even more." Pikachu then thought of something. "And another thing, I've been feeling something for the last 6 days and it has something to do with Buneary. What do you think it is?"
"Well I think it's because….." Oshawott then gets distracted when he saw Snivy. He was immediately lovestruck with hearts in his eyes. Because of how great her makeup was and how pretty and beautiful she was in her green dress and herself. Snivy notices him and giggles. "I-I'll t-talk t-to l-l-later P-P-Pikachu." Oshawott stutters and goes to Snivy.
They see this and laugh. "Well there he goes." Pikachu laughed.
While Buizel was laughing, he noticed Pachirisu was waving at him. When he saw her, he adjusted his tie with a grin. "Now if you excuse me I have a squirrel to be with."
With that being said, Buizel went to Pachirisu. Leaving Pikachu, Piplup, and Dedenne. Pikachu then says something. "I wonder when Buneary's coming? I'm honestly starting to get worried about her."
Piplup placed his flipper on Pikachu's shoulder. "I'm sure she's coming. She's probably either not ready or forgot when the party starts."
Dedenne agrees with Piplup. "Yeah. I think she might be….." Dedenne stops when he sees Buneary and he is completely shocked. "Is that Buneary?" Dedenne point.
Piplup and Pikachu turn to see where Dedenne pointed. When they saw Buneary they too were in shock. They never thought she would ever wear makeup. "Wow! She really went all out on herself did she?" Dedenne said as he was amazed.
Piplup nodded with agreement. "Yeah! I never thought she would ever expand her looks, like wear makeup. What do you think Pikachu?" Piplup turns to Pikachu, noticing the way he was looking at Buneary and started to smirk widely.
Pikachu was awestruck by the way Buneary looked. For her makeup, her cheeks are red, her nails painted pink, her fur and fluff are well groomed, and her eyelashes were dark, black, long, and curled. And the pink dress she is wearing looked very lovely. Almost like a princess. He has never seen Buneary like this before. He never seen her dressed in a beautiful dress and wore makeup. He blushed as he realized how beautiful she looked. Woah…...has Buneary always been this……beautiful before? Okay maybe when she wears the cheerleader dress or her vest or when she's wearing nothing she's always been beautiful. Okay Pikachu, just go up to her. As Pikachu finishes up with his thoughts, he then proceeds to Buneary.
"Well there he goes, to his date." Piplup grinned.
"Yep! I am very happy for Pikachu. Hopefully they do end up a couple just like Ash and Serena." Dedenne whispered to Piplup.
Buneary noticed Pikachu and she was amazed at how Pikachu looked in the tuxedo. She noticed Pikachu walking to her and stopped in front of her. "Hi Pikachu." She said,
"Hey Buneary. You look really great tonight Buneary." Pikachu complemented her.
A light blush adored her cheeks (thanks to the blush that's already on her cheeks Pikachu can't notice it.). "She never in her life had Pikachu comment on her looks once, unless you count the time with the vest. "Thank you," she said softly.
Pikachu smiled, feeling very confident now. "You're welcome."
Buneary smiled wider and walked over to him. "Well, let's go have fun."
Pikachu nodded, he then remembered the rose in his paw. "Oh uh Buneary this is for you." He presented the flower to her and she gasped in surprise and joy. "Do you like it?"
Buneary took it from his paws and looked at the flower. For me? This is probably the sweetest thing he has ever done for me. She tore off a large part of the stem and placed the rose into the fluff of her left ear, which was currently rolled up. "I love it, Pikachu. Thank you, you are so sweet." She gave him a hug which made him blush.
"I guess?" Pikachu nervously chuckled while rubbing the back of his head. Buneary separated from him. "So……should we go get something to eat?" He said as he offered his paw to Buneary
Buneary's blush broadened, she nodded and took his paw. He's being such a gentleman. I wonder why? Maybe he's just trying to apologize even more. She thought.
With that, they walked away leaving Piplup and Dedenne watching them leave. "Aw! Look at them. This is indeed romantic." Dedenne said in awe.
Piplup nodded in agreement with his flippers crossed and a smile. "Yeah. They're growing up so fast. Hopefully Pikachu will actually grow up and not act like a kid at times." He laughed and Dedenne laughed as well.

Unknown to them, they were being watched by Team Rocket. They were in disguise. They were dressed in waiter clothes. For Jessie and James, they were serving drinks and hors d'oeuvres to the human guests. As for Meowth, he was doing the same but for the Pokémon.
"Looks like Pikachu and Buneary are going to get something to eat." Jessie whispered.
James nodded "So when are we going to get this plan into action?" James whispered to Meowth.
Meowth evilly snickered, rubbing his paws together. "Hehe! Don't worry you two. I know when we'll do it. I still know what I'm doing." He then pulls out a small wooden blowgun from his suit. He has 3 tranquilizer darts with him and they all have red feathers at the end of them and with R's. "And I still know how we can get Pikachu." Meowth evilly snickered once again.

Meanwhile, Pikachu and Buneary were sitting at a table eating. They were enjoying the food very much. Especially Pikachu since he loves food just like Ash and would eat so much. And for Buneary, she too loves the food as well. She especially loves the desserts she's eating.
Buneary was finishing eating a cookie. This made her smile. "Mmm! This is so yummy!" She said, as she continued eating.
"It sure is!" Pikachu agrees with her. He then immediately starts to stare at her while she eats. He thought she looks cute when she eats. This honestly feels like an actual date. But he has to say something before she'll notice. "So Buneary……I……never seen you wear such a pretty dress or……wearing makeup." He said nervously.
This made Buneary blush very red. "Oh…..thanks Pikachu. Though the dress and makeup wasn't really my idea." Buneary said.
Pikachu was a little shocked. "Really? Then who's idea was to give you a makeover?" Pikachu said as he ate some bread.
"Well it was Pachirisu and Emolga's idea. I didn't want to at first, but I decided to go with and so far I have to admit, I do look cuter this way. I especially love how they did my nails. But at the same time I have to admit, this makeup is really uncomfortable. The mascara on my eyelashes especially irritates my eyes and these heels I'm wearing are hurting my feet. I don't know how Dawn is used to this whenever we do contests." Buneary explained.
Pikachu chuckled at this. "Well that's something some girls will eventually get used to. Unless you're Ash, because one time at Aloha he ended up getting a makeover from the girls and wore a nurse dress." They both laughed.
Buneary laughed cutely. "I wonder if he's ever going to do that again."
Pikachu chuckled again. "I doubt it. He said to everyone he'll stop wearing dresses and hoping to never get a forced makeover." He laughed.
As Buneary laughed, she then thought of something. "You know Pikachu, you seemed nervous about this." Buneary said.
Pikachu blushed at this. "W-what m-makes you think t-that?" He stuttered.
"From the way you were staring at me and the conversation we just had."
Pikachu rubbed the back of his. "Yeah. I just never been on a……d-date……before." He said, hesitating to say the word date. "That's all."
Buneary giggles. "There's no need to be nervous. I think it's really cute." She smiled.
This made Pikachu blush once again. "You really think so?" Buneary nodded shyly and laughed.
Pikachu also laughed with her. He's starting to have that exact same feeling inside him and his heart is beating. I'm having that feeling again. I think I might know what it is. But I still need to figure it out just in case. Her laugh is honestly adorable. He thought. He begins to laugh with her.
As they both laughed, Team Rocket were watching them. Meowth was about to get his blowgun ready. "Alrighty now let's get this plan into action." Meowth evilly smiled as he put in a tranquilizer dart in the blowgun.
Jessie also evilly smiled. "Alright Meowth do it."
"Yes Meowth." James evilly smiled as well.
Meowth aims his blowgun at Pikachu. "Nighty night Pikachu." Just when Meowth made a hard blow, James startled him.
"Are you aiming at him?" James said.
This made Meowth aim the other way and the dart hit a wall. "You made me aim at a wall!" Meowth said angrily.
"Sorry." James apologized.
Jessie groaned. "Let's just try again, Meowth."
Meowth sighed. "Okay." He then puts in a second dart into the blowgun and aims at Pikachu again. Meowth made another hard blow but once again, James startled him.
"Are you aiming at Pikachu this time?" James interrupted again.
Meowth aimed the wrong way again, but this time it hit someone. "I think I got him!" He said excitedly.
This alerted Jessie. "You did?! Well let's see him tumble down!"
They see the shadow figure Pokémon start to spin around and off balanced. They started to grin evilly, they were finally going to get Pikachu. But then as the shadowy figure was out of the shadow it's revealed that it wasn't Pikachu. Instead, the Pokémon they darted was Emolga. Team Rocket were shocked and angry about this. They were mad at James.
"NOW LOOK WHAT YOU MADE DO! YOU MADE ME DART THE WRONG ELECTRIC TYPE POKÉMON! AND IT'S ONE OF THE TWERPETTE'S POKÉMON!" Meowth yells at James.
"Which twerpette?" James questioned.
Jessie yells at James as well. "IT DOESN'T MATTER! YOU MADE MEOWTH MISS AGAIN! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!?"
"Sorry?" James said quietly.
Meowth frustrating sighed. "James, I think we should have a talk. Right Jessie?" He said passive aggressively.
"Yeah. In another room." She did the same.
"Okay." James simply said and followed them to another room.

Meanwhile, Emolga was still spinning around and off balance after the dart hit her butt. She even starts saying random things. Oshawott and Snivy noticed Emolga spinning around and even Pikachu and Buneary noticed. Just when she was going to fall back, Pansage was able to manage to catch her. They all went to them to see if Emolga's alright and what happened.
"Are you alright Emolga?" Buneary said worriedly
"Yeah Emolga what happened?" Pikachu also said worriedly.
"WoW! I dOn'T kNoW? BuT……I fEeL rEaLlY rEaLlY wEiRd." Emolga said as she slurred her words.
Snivy walks to Emolga with hands on her hips and narrow eyes. "Did you drink something that makes you act like this?"
Emolga looks up at Snivy with a silly smile. "HeY tHeRe SnIvY, hAs AnY oNe ToLd YoU ThAt YoU LoOkEd LoVeLy ToNiGhT?" She slurred her words again while holding on Snivy's nose.
Snivy cringes at the way Emolga was holding her nose. "Okay. She definitely needs some help."
Oshawott turns to Pansage. "You should take Emolga to Brock Pansage."
Pansage nodded. "Don't worry Oshawott I will and I think Iris and Cilan will also help. If they're not busy though." With that, Pansage takes the drugged Emolga to Brock.
As Oshawott and Snivy left, Pikachu and Buneary were standing and still confused about what just happened. Buneary was especially more confused. "What do you think happened, Pikachu?" She questioned Pikachu.
Pikachu turns to Buneary. "Well I honestly have no idea, Buneary, but……" He was then interrupted by music. Romantic kind of music.
As the music began, the couples began to gather on the dance floor. They even begin to hold each other while slow dancing. The music it was playing was romantic kind music. A slow kind of music. Pikachu and Buneary saw their friends on the dance floor. First came Ash and Serena, then came Iris and Cilan, then Buizel and Pachirisu, and finally Oshawott and Snivy were on the dance floor.
Pikachu was very nervous about this. But he immediately got over his nervousness. He turned to Buneary and offered his paw to her.
"Mind if I have this dance with you?"
