In the Busy Bee Lobby, a lone figure emerged from the shadows. This mysterious figure had the body of a woman, the horns of an ox, the wings and tail of a dragon, and a large slab of red meat that looked like it belonged in a cartoon.

The dragon girl set the cartoon meat down, then walked backwards a fair distance from the slab.

Draco got on all fours, circling the meat like a hungry lioness. "Alright, little guy." She growled "You're mine!" Draco pounced at the slab of meat and ate it off of the floor like an animal.

She smiled, chewing on the meat as she grabbed the single giant bone that remained. "This bone..." She stated, her eyes lighting up. "I need to show someone!" Draco put the bone in her mouth and ran round the lobby, looking for someone to show her shiny new bone to someone.

Nearby, Iris watched Draco with growing wonder. Every moment she spent watching the other made her heart beat faster. She had horns, and dragon wings ... and a dragon tail! Oh my god! Those fangs! Were they all real?! Iris' eyes widened like saucers almost immediately upon seeing the other, but her heart continued to swell as she watched Draco's antics. She was acting like--...Like...

"...Ohmygosh! You are so cute~!" Iris blurted out upon meeting Draco. The princess clad girl promptly moved to hold her hand out to Draco, reaching up as if to scritch the other behind her ear. She couldn't help herself!

Draco heard the screams of a nearby elegantly-dressed girl and ran to her with the bone still in her mouth. The dragon girl stopped only one inch in front of her, sitting down and looking up at her with puppy dog eyes.

Draco dropped her bone to the floor. "Hi, purple lady!" She said, wagging her tail. "My name's Draco!"

She blinked, shook her head, and stood up, just noticing what she was doing. "What happened there?" She asked herself. She then looked down at the purple-haired girl gushing in front of her. She thought of this a ripe opportunity to get a new fan, so she introduced herself with a grin. "My name is Draco Centauros: The strongest, cutest, and most beautiful girl... at least in my homeland..." Draco hung her head down in shame. Why did she say that? Was she crazy? She wasn't sure herself. But what she did know is that she lost more beauty contests in this world than back home.

[Mari]

Iris squirmed where she stood, wanting so badly to invade Draco's personal space right now. "...Draco~ That's a nice name. My name's Iris!" she replied, beaming slightly at Draco. She moved to lean over and peak around Draco's side gazing at her tail. "Well you are pretty cute~! Is--um... Is it real?" Iris asked, glancing back up to Draco. She seemed a tad shy.

"I mean, your tail and your wings?" she went on to ask, barely able to contain the excitement in her tone.

Her eyes lit up in pure ecstasy when she was called "cute". It may have been a simple compliment, but she was bitter after losing twenty-five consecutive beauty contests in a row. "Hi, Iris!" She shouted, hopping up and down like a child too hyper to contain her excitement.

"Yup." Draco said, flapping her wings to reassure her new friend. "I was born like this." Draco put a hand on Iris' head. "Y'know. You're kinda cute too." The dragon girl gave her new friend a big, toothy grin, exposing her fangs.

[Mari]

Iris gawked in amazement as she watched Draco's demonstration, only for the other's uninvited touching to snap her out of her stupor. Iris inadvertently leaned into Draco's hand, brushing up against it like a cat. Where this came from was anyone's guess, but she seemed a little embarrassed after the moment passed. "You think so..?" the princess clad champ asked, giggling ever so slightly at the notion. "They always said I had the heart of a dragon, but you've got the tail and the wings and the fangs and the horns... Ooooooh... I'm so jealous!" Iris would go on to muse aloud, fawning over Draco adoringly.

"How come you're not more famous?" she asked innocently after a moment, curious as to how she'd never heard of someone this awesome before now.

Draco grew happier and happier as the young girl complimented her, her ego inflating larger than it already was. Only to get hit with a dose of reality when she mentioned her fame, or rather her lack of.

The dragon girl hung her head down in disappointment. "I don't know... Maybe it's because I'm not as pretty as people say..." She sat down, holding her legs.

[Mari]

Iris just sort of flopped onto the floor in front of Draco in response to the other girl sitting down, laying on her belly and propping her head up with her arms. By most people's standards, it would probably be quite odd to see a girl behaving so roughly with such a beautiful dress. "...I guess everyone has different tastes." Iris mused aloud, no less baffled than Draco was. "But that's okay. I think you're really pretty, and that's what's important." Iris remarked in a tone that suggsted she didn't realize what she'd said. It took her a moment, during which she seemed to question her own words, before she realized her mistake.

"Oh--um... Actually, it's your opinion that matters the most. You should feel as pretty as you are." Iris would correct after the moment passed, smiling in a friendly manner up at Draco.

[Deleted]

Draco lied down on her back, her legs spread so she didn't accidentally kick her new "fan" . "I dunno..." The dragon girl stated bluntly, looking up at the ceiling. "I've been doubting how strong, cute, or even pretty I am..." She looked down at her body, looking slightly disgusted by her developed muscles. "I keep losing to girls that're more human than I am..."

[Mari]

Iris pondered Draco's emotions for a moment, attempting to empathize with her. She was a bit less self-conscious than Draco, but she thought she understood where the other was coming from. It couldn't be nice to feel ugly or weak... Iris dropped down onto her hands and knees next to Draco, gently inspecting one of those toned arms up close with interest. "Don't say that! You're cuter than any girl or boy I know!" Iris blurted out in protest of Draco's doubt.

"And, uhm, it looks like you could probably wrestle me too... but I bet I could help you become even stronger. I want you, okay? Not any of those other girls~" Iris went on after a moment, smiling brightly at the other. She didn't seem to realize what she had said or how it might be interpreted by someone who didn't grasp that she was a pokemon trainer, and probably didn't mean it in the way they were thinking.
