Porygon-Z was, in fact, hovering by the front door. As to how it managed to pull that off while everyone else thought it was in time-out in its pokeball... the world may never know.

The Pokemon hovered all around Alain, intensely scanning it. After what must have seemed like half an hour, the Pokemon nodded slightly and turned to face him directly.

"This dinner is for avatars only," Porygon-Z intoned in its robotic voice. "Please prove your power by attacking me with a move." The Pokemon looked around for a second and then floated toward the street, finding a spot where it wasn't particularly close to anything highly breakable and/or flammable.
