Sitting in the backstage of the theatre they had managed to get for the show, Kalina was feeling incredibly nervous. "This is my first time in front of a live audience" she whispered to herself, trying to keep herself calm. "I have to be calm. A magician needs to keep calm, especially under the pressure of capturing the hearts of the audience." She was shaking like a leaf, and she felt slightly pale as well. Maybe this was a bad idea.

"Scared?" A pair of hands latched onto her shoulders from behind. Syl kissed her neck, trying his best to reassure her. "It'll be okay. You did fine when you performed for me and our pokemon. I loved your show..."
He kissed her again. "Do you want me to stay back here for awhile, or do you want me to take my seat?"

The small girl approached the city. The grassland surrounding it had been a hassel to get through without being trampled by larger and stronger pokemon, but she made it. She was here.
As she took a stroll through the entrance, she noticed a poster. A magician was in town. "Cool!" She said, reading where it told her to go. She loved magicians, they had such neat tricks. She always felt baffled after seeing one preform. "C'mon Swoop," she said, taking out a pokeball and letting a Spearow into the air. She chirped, "Show me where to go," she smiled, and ran after her bird.
Soon the duo reached the place. It looked small, but as Elizabeth walked inside, she realized never to trust a book by its cover. The place was pretty big, but there were still open seats. She stumbled down the stairs, trying to get a view. "Sweet," she said as she spotted a seat near the front. She sat her rump in the cushiony chair and let out her pokemon, filling up the next seat. Swoop perched infront of her, and Athene sat on her lap. Only Seika had to sit in his own chair, which he was perfectly content on doing. "I wonder when it'll start," she said to her team, who smiled and added their own two cents, guessing a time limit.

"Please stay a little while" she whispered, slightly calming down in her grip. "I'm so glad you could make it. I was working on a new trick, but I only tested it on my Pokemon. Would you like me to try it on you my dear?" It was clear that she wanted this trick to go perfectly before the show, but it seemed even she had doubts.

Syl nodded, releasing his grip on his wife's shoulders and running a hand through his tangled crimson hair. "I'd love to see it. Although don't you think it would be better if you surprised me with it during the show? I'm sure you'll be fine. After all... You're the best magician I know."
He flashed her his usual confident grin, and kissed her cheek.

Giving a nod of approval, Kalina smiled and kissed Syl before shooing him back to his seat. She had heard someone entering beforehand, so now she knew she had to perform. The theatre lights dimmed and soon the spotlights were dancing around on the curtain (aided by Lunar and Solaris on the spotlights). Soon, Staroulder's voice declared "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming all this way. Now, making her grand debut, please put your hands together for Kalina, the Magician of Wonder!" The curtains pulled back, letting off a large amount of smoke. When it cleared, Kalina was standing there, ready: "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show" she said with a bow. "Now, please relax and enjoy the wonders I shall weave." Looking around, she smiled at the amount of watchers and knew she was going to give them a great performance.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming all this way. Now, making her grand debut, please put your hands together for Kalina, the Magician of Wonder!"
Elizabeth squirmed in her seat. The anticipation was rising as smoke rose from the ground and lights danced around. She smiled and stuck her tounge out in a concentration like way. Her smile grew as she saw someone come out from behind the curtains. Her eyes widened in suspense of something to happen.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show. Now, please relax and enjoy the wonders I shall weave."
Seika, Athene, Swoop and Luck leaned towards the stage, still sitting in their seat next to their trainer. They too were waiting to see a trainer and pokemon out there, working together and preforming together. They loved to see pokemon doing more.

A girl in her teens gazed down at the flayer she was handed on the way into the city. "A magic show hmm.. Sounds awesome. Come one Kanti, let's go or we'll be late!" Before the vulpix could even move Kimmie had run off in the direction she deemed to be the way to the show.
"Wrong way!" She shrieked coming to a dead end. She whirled around and darted off again, looking in all directions. It seemed she had tried every place imaginable. "We're gonna be late!" She hissed to herself as she drew a pokeball up from her belt. Out came LeeAnn, a Mesprit. "LeeAnn find this address." She showed the flayer and in a blink of an eye they were there. Why? They were standing in front of it. She smacked her forehead and ran inside. The place was bigger then she thought and she made her way up front to an open chair.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming all this way. Now, making her grand debut, please put your hands together for Kalina, the Magician of Wonder!"
The announcer spoke just as she sat down and a sigh of relief was barely audible from her lips. She didn't relax long though as she returned LeeAnn to her ball and sat at the edge of her seat as the curtains opened.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show. Now, please relax and enjoy the wonders I shall weave."
The magic that was going to be preformed was what made her come. Trainer and pokemon not only as coordinators and trainers but as partners in magic. Unheard of right?

"If we are all ready to continue, I will introduce the Pokemon who will be performing with me tonight." With a flick of her wand, two bursts of smoke appeared beside her, revealing Staroulder and her Mesprit. They looked a lot different to last time, mainly because they were dressed in magician assistant outfits. "Now, let us begin the show" Kalina declared, waving her wand to close the doors behind the audience. Another wave of her wand, and a flock of Pidgey, Spearow and Starly erupted from it, fluttering around in the sky. Staroulder and Mesprit, knowing their cues, unleashed a combination of Water Pulse and a Dark typed Hidden Power, resulting in the birds exploding into a large mass of glitter and sparkling light. A simple illusion to Kalina, but a truly eye-catching one nontheless.

Finally taking his seat a bit late, Syl gasped slightly at the illusion. He knew it had to be fake - it just had to be, right? He quickly released his favorite Mesprit, Sen, and pulled her onto his lap. "You remember Kalina's shows, right?"
<Of course I do, retard> She whacked him across the face with one of her tails indignantly. How dare he insult her intelligence like that!
He glared at her. Maybe releasing her had been a bad idea. "Just shut up and watch the show," Syl hissed, managing to flash his wife a reassuring smile and clapping.

"If we are all ready to continue, I will introduce the Pokémon who will be performing with me tonight."
Kimmie gasped silently as two pokemon appeared in a puff of smoke beside her. Even though she jumped slightly at the closing of the doors her hazel eyes never left the stage.
"Now, let us begin the show"
Kimmie was practically out of her chair as she watched. Pidgeys and spearows and starlys. So many birds but so elegant none the less. Then boom! The staroulder and mesprit did some move and they exploded into glistening water and light. Her eyes transfixed at the marvel.

Elizabeth smiled as someone new just made it in before the Magician, Kalina, locked the doors. She had sat down near Eliza, and so she turned and said, "Hey, your lucky. The shows just about to begin," Next someone else sat near them. They had been with Kalina before, and she figured it was someone close to her. Athene pipped up a 'CHU CHU!' before the magician had preformed her first trick. "Shhh," she shushed her pokemon.
"If we are all ready to continue, I will introduce the Pokémon who will be performing with me tonight. Now, let us begin the show."
Soon a Mesprit and Staroulder appeared from Kalina's wand. Eliza gasped in amazement. After another swish, spearows and other birds flew from the wand, making small sounds. The Mesprit and Staroulder used moves such as Water Pulse and a dark version of Hidden Power. This added a really cool affect to the room, and Elizabeth awed in amazement.

Smiling as she saw how everyone was enjoying her performance, her smile grew larger as she saw Syl reassuring her with his own smile. With another wave of her wand, the entire room became filled with water. But since this was an illusion, everyone was still able to breathe normally. Her Mesprit then began to swim as fast as it could, creating all sorts of shapes by cutting the illusion apart, while Staroulder just watched in awe. Eventually, the water was absorbed into each shape, so now there were several watery shapes floating in the air (thanks to Staroulder's Confusion and Kalina's wand). The two then made the shapes dance around the audience.

"Hey, your lucky. The shows just about to begin."
A voice beside her spoke and it took much of her effort to look away from the stage and to the girl. "Heh, thanks." Then she turned her attention back to the illusionist.
Kimmie gasped slightly as the room filled with water, not even thinking it was an illusion. When she couldn't hold any longer she breathed out and realized she could still breath like normal. Once again she smacked her forehead. Why wasn't she blond?
What caught her attention next was that the Mesprit began cutting away the illusion. It made shapes of all sizes and sorts until they just floated there. Then they began to move, like a tribal dance maybe. But the act was so original and breath taking. She just couldn't help but clap.

"Heh, thanks."
The girl said from near Elizabeth, but she didn't both to respond. She was too focused on the show. Kalina seemed to have filled the room with water, and her pokemon looked distressed. She gasped and held her mouth open, and thought about swishing her arms around, trying to swim, but resisted. It was only an illusion, but Elizabeth was still baffled by it.
Next the Mesprit swam around, cutting shapes in the water, and the magician shot them out at the audience. The shapes seemed to dance around them, and Seika, her growlithe, jumped around with Athene, trying to catch them. Elizabeth giggled at them, but turned back her focus to the show.

With another swish of the wand, the shapes soon burst into hundreds of tiny droplets that landed on one Pokemon from each member of the audience (Elizabeth's Athene, Kimmie's LeeAnn and Syl's Sen), turning all of them invisible. She smiled as she decided to let the Pokemon get up to all sorts of mischief before turning them visible again. She then finished up by creating a light snowfall all around the audience. Taking a bow, she said "There will now be a short interval so we can prepare for the next act. So please stay seated, because the best is yet to come." With that, the curtains simply flew shut, giving Kalina time to prepare her most special act.

Elizabeth smiled as the sheets of shapes were broken, but then Athene was gone! "Where'd ya go?" she asked, glancing around, looking for her little trouble maker. Seiko snickered, knowing what would happen.
There will now be a short interval so we can prepare for the next act. So please stay seated, because the best is yet to come."
Elizabeth grinned, 'Better than THAT?!' she thought, giggling. Soon she felt a tugging at her pant leg, and looked down. "What was that?" she asked her pokemon, still not seeing Athene.
Athene snickered slyly, running around and not getting yeld at. She pounced at Elizabeth, and knocked Seiko over. She then pounced Swoop and charmed Luck. She was having so much fun. No one could see her, but she could see them. Next she leaped up to her master, and grabed her necklace which contained her pokeballs. Eliza had made it herself, getting tired of the sash pokeball ring, feeling it was over used. Athene clicked each pokeball, returning each pokemon, save for herself. One by one they were zapped back into their balls, and Eliza gasped in awe.

Kimmie watched silently as she watched. The shapes burst and shined in the light of the stage. LeeAnn perched on her shoulder leaped out to grab them. then poof! It vanished. Kimmie held in a shriek at her vanished Pokémon.
Is this a Pokémon thief! Poor LeeAnn, that Pokémon is trouble enough when I can see her, let alone when I can't! She looked around for a body of the Mesprit but nothing. It can't leave as a spirit in it's body. She showed panic in her eyes though she couldn't help but want to watch the show. She shook her head. LeeAnn is more important then the show. A light snow began to fill the arena but she didn't either seem to care or notice.
"There will now be a short interval so we can prepare for the next act. So please stay seated, because the best is yet to come."
A scream was on the verge of being emitted. Haw can she just take a break when our Pokémon just disappeared! Her eyes went from corner to corner of the room in a frantic search.
LeeAnn shimmered into the water droplets and smiled. She hadn't even realized she just vanished. She floated above with a smile on her face before floating down in front of Kimmie's face. What was wrong? She didn't even see her.
She became aggravated and began slapping with her tail in the face. See me now? She whispered in her head.
A hand raised up to her face as pain shot across it. She held in any sound that she could have made and stared in front of her seeing nothing. But before she looked away she reached out and felt something! "LeeAnn? She whispered.
LeeAnn dodged a grapple from her trainer and smiled. She was invisible. Time to have fun. She floated over to the girl next to her trainer and slapped the back of her head with her tail before flying up and to the curtain. She began shaking it wildly, as if a tornado had entered the room. When she tired of that she used a water secret power and the room began to pour down with water, as if the fire sprinklers were set off.

Kalina just smiled, giving a simple wave of the wand to make the Pokemon reappear once again. She had intended to do that in the first place, but for some reason it didn't seem to turn out quite right. Besides, the snow would have revealed the invisible Pokemon anyway. Taking a few deep breaths, she eventually allowed the curtain to rise once more, revealing her with a large box. "For this next trick, I will need some volunteers from the audience" she explained, seeing the previously invisible Pokemon now back to normal.

Elizabeth felt a slap at the back of her head, she flinched, scared of what was happening. Suddenly she saw Athene, "Ugh! Athene!!" she yelled, snatching her pichu back up. She placed her necklace back on her neck and let her Pokémon back out. She was having fun. Suddenly water rained down from the curtains, giving her a nice feeling.
"For this next trick, I will need some volunteers from the audience."
Elizabeth practically jumped from her seat. She stuck her hand up so fast, it looked like lightning. "Me!!" she shouted. Swoop then flew in circles around her owner and Athene stood on her head. They tried to make her stand out. "Or... if you need pokemon," she said, slowly going back to her seat, she shoved Seika, her Growlithe forward, and then lifted him up, "Seika would be good," she said blushing.
