[Elise Bell]

Bass City, the city of music, was littered with studios and galleries for any and all types of performers. From artists to musicians to dancers, there was something for everyone if one looked for it. Claire Chan-De-Lure was just one of these many, but it had a name for itself when it came to producing top tier musicians. Whether it was classically trained songstresses or contemporary popular idols, the studio worked wonders for musicians. The best part, though, was that its doors were almost always open for visitors to peer in and garner what talent rested inside.

Elise had been going there for a long time, a very very very long time.

“One, two, three, one, two, three, that’s right…. Right left back….” Elise’s voice reverberated on the wood of the dance floor right along with the soft tick and tock of a metronome keeping time. A Hatenna and Spoink bounced in time with it. “Bounce, bounce, bounce… just like that…” Elise spoke before walking over to a baby grand piano in the corner. “Keep the time, don’t think too much about the music…” Sitting down at the bench again, Elise set her fingers on the keys and once more started playing out a beautiful classical piece.

The Pokemon in turn kind of changed their rhythm but did their best to stay on the metronome’s pace this time. Elise looked over occasionally monitoring it carefully. “That’s right! Keep it up!” she called to them. Both started to hop around each other even, and a small giggle escaped from Elise.
