Upon investigating the member card, Bonnie found the address by the back side of the card and knew that it should be at the southeast part of the city. She still would need to check on the signpost to find the exact location, a thing she has done so multiple times today. For now, maybe a ten to fifteen minutes trip to go and another same amount of time back was the best she could estimate.
All of that was not important as of now as Bonnie made a proper introduction to the three performing partners of the night. All three Pokemon looked comfortable with Bonnie after her initial introduction. Her energy and positivity have always been influenced people around her and this was no exception. Though, that sort of changed a little when she mentioned about being a little scary. Stacia perhaps took that comment too seriously and the little Mime Jr just froze for a bit. Mohatu seemed like the "Bonnie" among the three and closed himself to Bonnie. The Fire Pokemon did not try anything fancy, be it look into her eyes or something else, and started licking Bonnie's leg(or hand/palm, if extended). Cottonball was not that physical. She merely smiled and came closer to Bonnie as to await the next introduction. Upon seeing that Stacia was not comfortable yet, Cottonball came back to the little Mime Jr and led it her forward with some pet and some Pokemon talk, presumably, not like Bonnie could understand if it was just a regular cry or they were talking. This moved Stacia forward, but the Mime Jr remained the furthest of the three. The two went back to waiting for Bonnie's command after that. Mohatu was the only one being playful with Bonnie thus far.

"Aww... Noo..." Bonnie immediately regretted being so honest when she saw the cute little Mime Jr. freeze, even if it was just for a bit. Although, at the same time, she was multitasking, holding a hand out to the Litleo that approached her (and getting it licked in return) and gently patting the Whimsicott. It wasn't difficult to distract her from feeling sad and get into really enjoying rubbing the playful Mohatu behind the ears. She didn't forget that she had work to do, though. "Okay... Mohatu, Mime Jr., and Cottonball, right? Could the three of you introduce yourself to me on by one? Show me what you can do?". She stopped scratching Mohatu's ears and stood back up, hands held together expectantly in front of her face.

Both Mohatu and Cottonball looked like they enjoyed the attention Bonnie was giving to them. Whimsicott tried to grab Bonnie's hand while the girl was patting her whereas Mohatu closed his eyes and let out some soft purrrr as he was rubbed behind the ears. The little Mime Jr. continued to be the outsider of the interaction so far, quietly waiting on the outskirt of the little circle.
The proactive Mohatu led the pack by kickstarting the performance test for Bonnie. Cottonball shook Stacia a little and pulled her partner to the side as Mohatu readied himself. The little Litleo hyped himself up with a roar of confidence. Then, it was a lot of running, spinning and twisting around the open room. If it was not clear to Bonnie before, it was clear now that Mohatu was the physical performer of the trio. The Litleo might be small but he possessed the speed, power and explosiveness to do most things that Bonnie could imagine with his body. After the display of physical prowess, Mohatu went through his arsenal of Fire moves, from a fire beam to a melee move, this little Pokemon certainly knew his thing when it came to wielding the flame. The Pokemon then sealed the deal with another display of speed and skill, splitting himself into multiple and ended the the deal with a finishing pounce where every Mohatu dived it on the same spot.
Cottonball came in as Mohatu faded out to the side. After some simple waving motion from her tiny hands, strong wind came out of nowhere and started blowing toward one direction. The Grass Pokemon spun along the wind like a graceful dancer and more and more cotton popped out from her "hair". They too, danced in the wind like round petals. As soon as Cottonball hit the amount she wanted, she rode the wind along her "cotton children". The Pokemon did not forget to wave around in the air in her performance, even if there was only Bonnie. All the cotton eventually stuck themselves back onto their "mother", forming an oversized cotton ball with the real Cottonball hiding in the middle of it. The wind stopped at this instant and nothing happened for the next few seconds. Then, the cotton ball exploded and all the cotton dispersed into thin air. The real Cottonball popped out of it with a lot of pink and green energy balls. Firework. The Pokemon took her time on her way down, floating in mid air for an extended period of time, acting all excited and cute with brimming rainbow light surrounding her. Everything went back to normal once she landed on the ground.
And that was when the Mime Jr came into the fray, as slowly as always. Sta-- Stacia After some gentle steps into the middle of the room, the Mime Jr bowed. My...Name. More words came into Bonnie's mind but with a few seconds of pause between each of them. Cottonball shot up a little ball of heat energy from the side to help out her fellow performer and so did Mohatu shooting up a strong beam of fire - even stronger than before - up the roof. The Psychic Pokemon did what a Mime would do and hit the air with a fire beam of her own. The mini sun faded out as soon as the fire extinguished. While all the attention was up in the air, the Mime Jr has already done her next move as one would find four copies of herself standing side by side in different poses that resembles "M I M E". The second "M" soon moved, snapping her finger to take away all her clones. Then, it was just a simple display of her ranged skills. Firstly, she directed a blue stream of electricity around the room then changed it into a beam of purple hue. The Pokemon bowed again after the rather short display of her skill. Switch....move....item.....I....can. More words came into Bonnie's mind sporadically.
After the performance, all three Pokemon gathered in front of Bonnie once again, waiting.

There were repeated "oohs" and "aahs" and clapping. So much clapping. She noticed amidst her joy that the room did, indeed, appear to be fireproof. Good.
After all of the performances were done, Bonnie exclaimed, "That was amazing!" letting out all of the excitement she had contained during each performance. This, of course, meant bouncing around for her as her mouth moved nonstop to sing the praises of each Pokemon. Mohatu's flames were so strong and oh my that roar was something else. Cottonball's style was so fluffy (insert squeal) and the control was just downright impressive. Oh, and Stacia. Little Stacia. Bonnie gave Stacia extra praise, feeling like the little Mime Jr. could use it the most. Stacia did so well, and Bonnie was so glad to have seen her substitutes and her mimicking and hearing Stacia's voice in her head was just a shocker.
Reminding herself, again, that she had a job to do, Bonnie eased down from her excitement high and started asking various questions of potential safety concern. How comfortable was Cottonball if Mohatu's flames or Stacia's electricity was used to light up her "cotton children"? Would Cottonball feel comfortable flying through Mohatu's Will-O-Wisps? Was Stacia comfortable speaking telepathically to a whole crowd of children? Could, with telekinesis, Stacia turn Cottonball's cotton balls into platforms for Mohatu to jump on? Did Mohatu feel comfortable about leaping through the air on just cotton balls? How confident was each Pokemon in their accuracy? How comfortable would they be with colliding attacks with each other to create small, sparkling explosions? Bonnie knew she was just a human, but she did her best to understand the Pokemon, trying to restrict what she asked to yes or no questions.

3:15PM, Day 1, January 1090
Bonnie soon came to the conclusion that the Pokemon were better in action than talking to a human, no surprise. Stacia did help being the translator between the two sides, but a lot of the questions were things that the Pokemon have not done before, or they had done similar things in their performance but not exactly the same. So, it was more action time as the Pokemon tried to experiment on each of them under Bonnie's lead.
The "cotton children" were all part of a move that designed to obstruct Pokemon, especially speedy Pokemon, and that was no way Cottonball could make er little cotton balls not absorbing damage. Stacia's electricity has no impact on them as they would just absorb the damage without them doing anything visually. Mohatu's flames did something though. The cotton balls could travel for a few seconds like floating fireball before being burned into ashes.
Cottonball tried going through Mohatu's Will-o-Wisps and had a fairly decent success rate, like about 70% give or take on the few times you asked them to try that. Cottonball has solid control but not perfect control on her Tailwind and how she navigate the wind. The wind controlled her instead of the opposite and a mistake in her estimation in her pathing would stop her from going through. Mohatu could give Cottonball a bigger circle to pass through but a bigger circle would be less exciting to the crowd.
As for Stacia's psychic ability, Bonnie eventually learnt that Stacia was not that shy but she was just...afraid of her just now -- Bonnie not remember her name at first did not help that either. Her stuttering talk was the best she could do telepathically and she could only talk to a single person at a time, and very slowly. The cotton platformer idea could work though. Stacia was better with telekinesis and the cotton balls were light enough for her to control a lot at once. The most difficult part was on Mohatu, which would likely need some time to practice if this was to be part of the show. Stacia did tell you that Mohatu has done a lot of air jumping performance in the past so leaping through air on anything was no biggie.
Accuracy might be their biggest strength. The Mime Jr. told Bonnie that they were trained very hard on accuracy in the earliest days of their performer career. Not like they knew why exactly, but it was among the first few things they were trained. Bonnie also learnt that the three of them were all Pokemon of the coordinator-on-leave. She was close enough with the shop owner so she let them stay here with the man. They did some beam colliding in the past but it was hard to predict what would happen everytime...so, it could be dangerous. The Pokemon were willing to test them out one move by one move if Bonnie wanted to.

Throughout the demonstrations, Bonnie hmm-ed thoughtfully. She was often so excited that she leaned forwards to the action, but through it all, she was considering the arrangement of the performance very seriously. Did she want to see what happened when beams collided? Oh Arceus yes! However, a look at the clock told Bonnie that she was actually starting to run short on time if she wanted to dress up the Pokemon. "Okay. Okay," Bonnie ushered the three of them, smiling ever so cheerfully. She was starting to run short on time, but she didn't let that dampen her spirits.
If she received permission to take all three of them with her to the costume store (because what could possibly go wrong with that, right?), then Bonnie went running off to the clothes store as fast as her untrained athletics would let her so that she could start playing dress up with the 'mons!
Granted, even if Bonnie didn't receive permission to take three battle-ready Pokemon with her for safety reasons, she still went off and away to the clothes store as fast as she could.

3:44PM, Day 1, January 1090
Bonnie double-checked the address on the back of the member card before heading out of the room. The three Pokemon happily followed behind. Mohatu was especially ecstatic at the thought of going outside. Stacia, now that she was all warmed up to the not-so-scary Bonnie, was more active and outgoing with her thought. Surprisingly, Cottonball was the most quiet among the three.
Going back to the store front, Bonnie saw the man looking at something by the cashier and a single customer checking out some of the pet accessories on the side. The Pokemon in the big playground were just playing with each other and did not really care about you, or anyone else.
"Huh, I guess it only makes sense that you need them there to try out the clothing. You are a trainer so this should be alright. Let me get their Pokeball for you just to be safe. I suggest you put them back into their balls on the road." Bonnie sensed a bit of reluctance from Bertrand as the man went to take the Pokeballs for her. A minute later, the man came back with three regular Pokeballs. "Here you go. From left to right, Mohatu's, Cottonball's and Stacia's." The man laid all three Pokeballs on the cashier table so Bonnie could remember them easily.
But, the man did not stop there. "Have you decided on where to run your performance? The performance will be on 8PM. If you want to run it outside, we will have to put up some chairs on the street before then and get some arrangement with the ranch. Oh yeah, the ranch. I did not told you just now but we are cooperating with a ranch on this event. They will have the kids ride here on top of Pokemon like Ponyta, Tauros and et cetera to here for the event. You can plan something about it if you want to host the performance outside. Also, if you actually want to use big props, call me and I will tell the ranch to help pick them up for you. The shop itself doesn't provide transport service so we will have to get them for ourselves. I am sure the ranch can help with that."
Whatever Bonnie did with the balls and the additional information she has, it was time to head to the store! Bonnie found the shop with ease -- surprisingly as the shop took quite a few rounds and turns to get to; it was not by the big road. Entering the prop shop, Bonnie found herself in a wide open storage-like space with a receptionist on the front and all kinds of stuffs behind the counter. "Welcome to Jack in the Box." Oh, now you knew why the shop looked like a treasure box on the outside. "Is this your first time here or do you have a member card?"
As soon as the member card was shown, Bonnie would be free to go inside to find whatever she wanted. But, one thing she realized really soon was that this shop actually took the treasure chest idea too literally. The stuffs were not organized at all. Or maybe they were, but badly. The shop helper did mentioned she could ask him if you ever need help finding anything but that all took time. Time was the thing she was lacking and could not be obtained like the props.
