The mayor and Justine followed their guests inside the restaurant. Mayor Mayer plopped into the seat next to Rebeca and across from Germaine, smiling broadly at both. He seemed particularly happy to be seated next to Groudon, a local favorite. Justine took a seat at the end, an empty seat to her left and Tantalus across. She sat up straight and silently observed the others at the table. No Porygon-Z. Justine had sentenced it to spending dinner in its pokeball for its antics with the fire extinguisher, with a chance of parole for good behavior.

Moments later, a young woman in a pristine white shirt and black skirt arrived at the table and passed out some menus. The menus featured golden lace-like patterns along the edges, and about one-third of the items on it were virtually unpronounceable to those not accustomed to a life of luxury.

"Good evening," the server began. "My name is Yolanda, and I'll be honored to serve you at the Ritzy Raichu tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?"

Mayor Mayer requested a glass of cabernet sauvignon... to start. Justine was content with a glass of water.
