Back in New York City...

Eloise, Leon, Felicity, Estelle, Akito, Vincent, and the Pokemon were now in the hallways after chatting with Mrs. Daniels.

"Where shall we look now?" Eloise pondered as they got out of their disguises.

Leon didn't say anything, but his stomach was heard growling.

"To the kitchen!" Vincent announced.

"Good idea!" Eloise agreed.

"Lunch?" Leon asked hopefully.

"No, room service!" Eloise replied as she skipped and led the way to the elevator.

"Yep." Vincent nodded.

They went down to the room service floor. Leon held his stomach as he felt very hungry and the man behind room service was currently on the phone as the chefs moved the food along the room which made the nine-year-old boy feel even hungrier.

"Sorry, Eloise, but there's a prince staying here and he hasn't ordered room service." the man told Eloise as he was on the phone.

"What's this prince's name?" Estelle asked.

"I'm sorry, but I can't discuss that." the man replied as he got back on the phone to answer the next call.

"Please, just this once?" Estelle pleaded.

The man sighed. "His name is Kentaro." he then revealed.

Leon seemed to visibly jolt at that name. Akito glanced at that and started to suspect something strange and unusual about 'Leon'. Eloise sighed and slumped as she then went into the kitchen with her cousins and new friend. The chef was barking orders to his cooks and one table accidentally caught on fire with the dishes. Akito then secretly brought out his spell book so he could stop time and make sure no one other than him and Leon were moving, so then he could prove his theory was correct. Everything seemed to stop.


"What happened...?" Leon blinked.

"Leon, you need to tell Eloise and the others the truth about who you are." Akito said.

"What are you talking about?" Leon asked.

"You're the prince, aren't you?" Akito asked.

Leon's eyes seemed to widen at that question.

Akito took note of that. "So, I'm correct?"

Leon looked very nervous. "How did you know?"

"I'm the son of a detective, I have a hunch for certain things," Akito said. "And besides, you said you need to talk to Mr. Salamone."

"Oh... Right..." Leon felt defeated.

"Why did you hide yourself from us?" Akito asked the young prince once he was found out.

"I just wanted to know how it felt like to not be a prince." Leon frowned.

"Why wouldn't you want to be a prince?" Akito asked, remembering what his unicorn uncle helped him discover the night before. "You get to have servants, people eat out of the palm of your hands, and best of all, you get your very own princess and you get to rule as a king when you grow up!"

"But you're not free to make your own decisions," Leon listed the cons of being royalty while Akito listed the pros. "People tell you where to go and what to wear... Sometimes you just feel trapped."

"I-I guess I never considered that." Akito frowned.

"It's true..." Leon said. "Plus, I also just wanna go home."

"Then why not tell your parents after the Debutante Ball?" Akito asked.

"I don't know..." Leon frowned. "What if no one listens to me?"

"They're your parents, of course they'll listen to you." Akito smiled.

"I guess..." Leon stared at the floor and shuffled his foot.

"Trust me," Akito put his arm around the young royal. "Plus, you should have fun while you're here."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Leon smiled.

"Just trust us," Akito said. "You should also tell Eloise that you're the prince."

Leon frowned.

"We're already your friends and we didn't know you were a prince," Akito encouraged. "I had a suspicion about you, but you're a kid, you should be having fun and save the boring stuff for adulthood."

"I suppose so..." Leon smiled halfway.

"So then, you'll tell Eloise?" Akito asked.

"I-I'll try, but it won't be easy..." Leon said. "Um, Akito, about your cousin... Is she always this... Umm... Well... How can I say this without hurting anyone's feelings?"

"What about Eloise?" Akito asked.

"She's a little... Energetic, yes?" Leon said then.

"Yes, she is energetic." Akito smiled.

"And very sneaky..." Leon then continued.

"Yes, she can be very sneaky." Akito said.

"What is her deal?" Leon asked.

"She has her mother's looks and father's sense of humor." Akito replied.

Leon raised a brow. "What does that mean?"

"She's just like her parents." Akito told him.

"Oh..." Leon wasn't sure whether that was a good thing or not.

"Just give her a chance... Everybody gets used to Eloise eventually." Akito said.

Leon shrugged. "I guess so."

"Thatta boy." Akito smiled.

Leon smiled back. Akito then used the counter spell and everything started to move again. Everything went as it did before as if nothing happened.


"How did you do that?" Leon asked.

"Magic." Akito said.

"Magic?" Leon asked, almost as if he didn't believe it.

"I'll explain later." Akito promised.

"Here's what I like to do," Eloise suddenly said about the flames. "Save the day!"

"Oh, boy." Ditto said.

"Surely we can call the fire department..." Felicity suggested.

"Nonsense!" Eloise skipped along to 'save the day'.

"This can't end well." Ditto said.

"All right, here's what we do." Eloise said as she took out a pot and wore it over her head like a hat. "One of you twist that thing while I pull this!" she then gestured to the water valve as she grabbed the hose.

Leon decided to hold the valve.

"All right!" Eloise called as she held the hose, much to the dismay of the cooks in the kitchen. "Let 'er rip!"

"Yeah!" Ditto cheered.

Leon grunted as he turned the valve which made the hose gush water out through the nozzle.

"NO!" the head chef rushed over and picked up Eloise in his arms, making her drop the hose.

The hose then sprayed and squirted water all through the kitchen, drenching more of the cooks than putting out the flames. The head chef scolded Eloise before putting her down and tried to catch the hose before it could cause any more damage.

"Quick, turn the water off." Ditto said.

Unfortunately, since Leon didn't speak Pokemon, he rushed to Eloise's side and actually looked delighted at the chaos. One cook took the hose and had trouble controlling it as it splashed against more of the chefs. Eventually, the hose died down just as the head chef came and saw his kitchen was soaked and so was the food for the Debutante Ball.

"This is bad." Akito said.

The head chef picked up a piece off a plate as it was dripping from hose water and he glared to the cook who had the hose, blaming him for this. Eloise took the pot off, then grabbed Leon's hand and ran with him out of the kitchen. The others then took that as their cue to follow her.

"Eloise, this is really bad, we have to make sure that nothing else goes wrong with the ball." Akito informed her.

"I promise, we'll take care of that later, but now, it's time for lunch." Eloise said.

Akito sighed and shook his head. "This girl is going to be the death of me..."


Eloise took everyone into the fine dining room as they looked at their menus and the waiter was waiting for their order.

"What to have, what to have?" Larvitar said.

"Whatever you guys want." Eloise promised.

Akito was about to order something until he began to have a vision about what would happen to the Debutante Ball.

The waiter walked by as Akito's vision distracted him. "Have you decided?"

"How's the chicken kiev today?" Eloise asked him.

"Fantastique, Miss Eloise." the waiter beamed.

"Then the chicken kiev it is," Eloise then said, ordering for the others. "And charge it please to my room."


Akito saw as a star was being taken down from the other four. "What's happening?" he wondered as the hotel seemed to be slipping in quality.

"You children ruined everything, the food, the ball, everything." Mr. Salamone said.

"What?!" Akito panicked again.

"Mr. Salamone, we didn't mean to, honest!" Eloise cried.

"I'm finished with you, Eloise!" Mr. Salamone snarled at her.

"But what about my mother and nanny?" Eloise pouted.

"I don't care anymore." Mr. Salamone said.

"You can't do this to us!" Estelle yelped.

Suddenly, the kids were out of the hotel and the doors were slammed on them as it appeared to be closed down. The vision then ended from there which made Akito concerned.


"You can do that?" Leon asked Eloise after their orders were taken. "Charge things?"

"I charge everything," Eloise shrugged like it was normal. "Doesn't everyone?"

"No." Estelle said.

"Oh." Eloise shrugged.

Leon sighed to all of them. "I wish I had your lives, guys... Or at least a turtle, a Pokemon, and maybe even a tutor."

"A turtle and a tutor don't seem so very much." Eloise disagreed.

"Tell that to my father," Leon sulked. "He thinks the best thing for me is boarding school."

"Wow, your dad is really that bad?" Vincent asked.

"He can be..." Leon sighed.

"What does your mother think?" Felicity asked.

Leon looked distant and gravely sorrow at that question, he even bowed his head. "She died two years ago..."

"We're so sorry for your loss." Estelle said.

"You must miss her terribly." Eloise added, not even wanting to imagine what her life would be like if she didn't have her mother, it would be twice as much worse than her being away to Paris almost all of the time.

"More than I can say, Eloise, more than I can say." Leon frowned.

"My mother may not have perished, but I spent the first eight years of my life never knowing of her..." Felicity said, putting her hands together gently.

Leon looked to her. "Why is that?"

"It's a very long story that Papa told me once I got older..." Felicity said. "Are you sure you wish to know more?"

"Please." Leon said.

"Do you all mind?" Felicity looked to her cousins for equal approval.

"None at all," The Fudo siblings and Eloise smiled. "Which means 'sure'."

Eloise nodded.

"Well... Okay..." Felicity said as she got comfortable in her seat. "you see... My maman went out late one night... She got lost and was in the rain... She ended up in a strange place with very strange characters... She didn't know where she was or what it was all about, but she knew that when she woke up the next morning, that she had to go back... It was bizarre, but she really liked it and wondered what it would be like to go back if she had the chance... She then came back and was told to stay forever and never see her parents or loved ones again... Eventually, she accepted and she found out the owner was actually her father and the life she thought she had was a lie and the people who raised her and had her, were not her real parents, but she was separated at birth by accident."

"Oh, my..." Leon frowned.

"Maman found out she was a long-lost princess of a galaxy hidden from the main solar system discovered by scientists with the nine planets we all know and love," Felicity continued. "Due to being a princess, she was to have an arranged marriage on her eighteenth birthday. Papa really missed Maman, he left his home to look for work after he attempted to patch things up with Belle and Adam, when he was told where she was, he went to track her down and decided to serve the King of the new castle. Papa noticed how beautiful and deathly Maman had grown up to be and he fell in love with her."

"Awww!" Estelle smiled in awe.

"It wasn't all good though..." Felicity said. "Before my mother's engagement, my parents got together and... Well... They got intimate with each other of course... But... It was against her father's rules and he promised to kill me right after I had been born... He then found himself unable to, whether by guilt or conscience, I am not sure, but he made my mother give me up. He had banished my father after she was found as pregnant and after I was born, he made her give me up, she was to send me to an orphanage or a workhouse, but she found a way to Papa and she abandoned me on Belle and Adam's doorstep."

"That's terrible." Vincent said.

Felicity nodded softly, it was truly a a horrendous tale, but it was all true. "Indeed."

"But then, how did your parents get back together?" Leon asked.

"It felt like a huge coincidence," Felicity continued her family's tale as old as time. "Papa was telling me the story of what happened... Their getting together... Their relationship... My birth... Then, later that night, I could not sleep... Someone came to the castle and I recognized her the instant she walked through the doors and Monsieur Cogsworth let her inside... It was my mother and she had escaped her father's clutches and faked her death and she moved into the castle until we all found our new home together and we could live together peacefully and somewhat happily."

"Great." Akito smiled.

"That is the story." Felicity then concluded.

"At least it had a happy ending." Teddy smiled.

"If you can call it that..." Misdreavus whispered about Cherry and Forte's so-called 'love life'.

"So, Dad, I noticed your eyes were doing that glowing thing." Larvitar said to Akito.

"Glowing thing?" Akito looked down to his rock Pokemon.

"I think he's referring to when you're having a vision, Akito." Estelle said to her twin brother.

"Oh... Yeah... That." Akito said.

"Is it anything serious?" Larvitar asked about the vision.

"Let's just say that I think we shouldn't do anything mischievous anymore until after the Debutante Ball." Akito said.

"Why are you looking at me?" Eloise replied innocently.

"How much mischief have you caused here?" Estelle asked.

"Moi?" Eloise patted herself. "Cause mischief? Don't be absurd!"

"Actually, Eloise, you do tend to cause mischief." Ditto said.

"Shh!" Eloise shushed her Pokemon.

"See, even your own Pokemon agrees." Vincent said.

"Oh, trust me, I know what I'm doing." Eloise smiled.

"How many times have I heard that before?" Ditto asked.

"Oh, Ditto, you worry too much." Eloise patted her Pokemon on his blobbed head.

"Ay-yi-yi." Ditto groaned.

"Still, I wish I could be like you guys..." Leon sounded jealous of his new friends since they weren't royalty, even if Felicity had a rough upbringing.

"So, you'd like to have superpowers and Pokemon too?" Estelle asked.

"Anything but being... Something else..." Leon said, not going to reveal his true identity.

Akito noticed that and looked disappointed that Leon didn't confess about his true heritage, but hoped that he would sometime and open up to Eloise about it.

"You must miss your mother awfully," Eloise said. "I miss my mother, even when she's away for a short time."

"But you have Nanny." Leon reminded her.

"Yeah, she's mostly my companion next to Ditto..." Eloise smiled then, feeling like Nanny was more like her mother than Darla ever really was. "I'll also never forget that summer where I finally got to meet my father."

"Yeah, that day was one crazy adventure." Estelle said.

"Really then?" Leon asked.

"We will tell you about it sometime." Felicity promised.

Leon sighed softly, thinking back to what Eloise said. "I've never had a companion..."

"Well, you do now, don't you?" Eloise mused with a friendly smile to him then.

Leon smiled back gently. "yeah, I guess I do."

"Come on!" Eloise stood up right then, pulling the older boy's hand and pulled him up to a standing position.

"What about the chicken kiev?" Leon reminded her since he knew this meant they were going off somewhere else now.

"Oh, my Lord, that was for us?" Eloise asked as she took a couple of rolls and stuffed one of them in his mouth. "We just have too much to do!"

"Apparently." Vincent said.

Leon muffled as Eloise dragged him out of the fine dining area of the hotel.

"Aunt Darla and Uncle Urchin need to put that girl on a leash..." Akito groaned about his always moving cousin.

Eloise then ordered the chicken kiev and a carrot to one of the horse-carriage drivers and she went back to her room briefly to get her coat and hat before going outside with her cousins and new friend.

"This girl just never slows down." Vincent said.

"I wonder where she gets that from?" Estelle mumbled slightly.

"Who knows?" Akito shrugged.

"I just hope this day doesn't get too dangerous." Teddy said.

"Ah, you worry too much," Misdreavus said. "What's the worst that could happen?"

"Ask and shall receive." Vulpix warned.
