The clip-on tie, made to his specific measurements, fits around the drowzee's neck like a charm. The pokémon puffs up his chest to show it off, looking extremely pleased with himself, and Eusine gives him an affectionate pat on the head.
"You look amazing, Zee!" Eusine says. Zee is beaming, his trunk held high as he does a little twirl that he ends with a bow. "This is going to be our best show ever!"
Someone pulls the curtain hung over the entrance of the dressing room. It's Eusine's mother, clad in her huge cloak and glittery outfit, her long, flowing hair tied back into a ponytail. Though she tries to hide it, her nose wrinkles slightly upon seeing her son with his drowzee.
"Are you ready, dear? There's not much time left." She pauses, and her lips spread into a thin line. "Were you playing dress-up?"
"I was giving Zee his new outfit for the show! We got matching bows, see?" To demonstrate, the boy opens his arms wide, soon followed by his drowzee.
His mother shakes her head, but she doesn't protest beyond that. "Well done. Will you be together on stage tonight, then?"
"Of course!" Eusine bends down to pick the drowzee up and holds him in his arms like he expects he will be taken from him. "We've been rehearsing a new trick where I pull things out of floating hats. It's very fun!"
While he explains, Zee squeezes his eyes shut and concentrates his powers to get the both of them to float at once. Eusine's concentration doesn't falter, even when he ends up suspended in midair, his cape held straight up until the tip touches the ceiling.
"Impressive," his mother says. The corners of her mouth are lifting slightly; a hard-earned victory. "I'm sure it'll be a hit." She looks up at the clock and adds, "See you two in ten minutes."
One twirl of her cloak and she's gone. Zee carefully brings them back down, and Eusine puts him back on the ground to give him another pat on the trunk that nearly makes him sneeze.
"This is our chance to show her you're the best psychic-type pokémon ever," Eusine says, with emphasis. "Who cares if you're not as cute as an abra, as skilled as a mr. mime, or as graceful as an espeon? You're my lucky star, Zee!"
Zee stares into his trainer's wide, hopeful eyes, and finds that he believes it to be true. Tonight, no matter what anybody else thinks of him, he'll be Eusine's lucky star, and together, they'll steal the family magic show and prove to everyone that drowzees can be more than dream-eating nuisances.
