"So, do you want to start? I'm patient enough to work a 9 to 5 in the Pokemart and deal with annoying customers, I'm sure waiting for my turn would be fine."

*Leaf would hand him a microphone before sitting down. She was secretly laughing and recording him. Maybe if he was a terrible singer, she could archive it and laugh in her free time. Quite surprising how someone like the fearsome and mighty Lance would do Karaoke.*
Sue
Lance was glad he didn't decide to get any drinks because if he did, he'd be choking on it now. He cleared his throat and looked at Leaf with his brows raised. "Start...?"

Suddenly the idea was strangely nerve-racking. He looked at the microphone he was given as if it was a very small Seviper but just as poisonous. Well, he couldn't back off now. Lance wasn't aware of the other recording him but he somehow found enough courage to nod a little.

"Fine. Let's go show them."
Thomas
*Leaf would try to encourage him, a few words of motivation wouldn't hurt him and it would be nice to see him go all out and have fun. It's not like they were doing anything too weird, just two friends singing karaoke.*

"Come on, Lancey. Show them what you're mad."

*Leaf would give him a big warm smile to try and make him feel comfortable. Truth was, Leaf was enjoying this a lot. Like a whole lot. And she wanted to spread the positivity around.*

"Show everyone in this establishment the beautiful singing voice of yours that can charm even the most fiersome dragons."
Sue
He huffed slightly at the nickname but didn't comment on it this time. They were supposed to be having fun and if he started complaining, he'd ruin it for Leaf. He didn't want that.

"...Fine." Lance grabbed the microphone and stood up. "Let us start!" He called. They were just people and not big, dangerous dragons after all. Leaf was right, even if he couldn't hear his thoughts.

He looked back at her, smiling.
Thomas
*Leaf would start giggling. This was going to be so funny. Or good, who knows? No matter what, she was going to show it to Red and Blue and get a reaction. Maybe a crying laughing emoji from Blue or just a blank stare at one from Red.*

*She'd shut her mouth and wait for Lance, or Lancey to begin singing.*
Sue
He offered his hand to Leaf, with that smile still on his face. "I don't know about you but I'm going to take the stage to sing," Lance told her. He sounded way more confident now.

Since he started thinking about the whole thing as a smaller thing than all the ones he did as a champion, it was way easier. And he did want to have fun too! Too bad he couldn't have his pokemon out too with him. The place was packed and if he let any of his pokemon, it could get... Intense.
Thomas
*Leaf couldn't stop smiling. Even she didn't know why. Was Lance that funny? He looked so confident about a silly Karaoke bar, how interesting! His smile was contagious. That confident tone in his voice just made her sure that this would be a spectacle in one way or another. Seeing him smile just felt nice. Always so serious, never smiling, he had you wondering whether he was ever happy. But maybe that was just Leaf's impression. Maybe he was a soft and emotional person on the inside, contrary to his outer self.*

"Do it Lance, we're waiting for you."
Sue
Lance nodded and glanced at whoever was taking care of the music on his way to the stage. The person looked back at him and nodded before a song for them started playing. Just a few notes were enough to make him go faster. He knew he wouldn't need the screens with the lyrics on them. Strangely enough, it was a song he knew by heart just because it was his dragons' favorite song...

"When I was younger, I had a dragon... We would fly away to places you can't imagine..."

His singing voice was calming and almost charming. No wonder his dragons loved his singing.
Thomas
*Leaf would close her eyes and listen to him. Oddly enough, Lance had the voice of an angel. Leaf wasn't expecting that but she still enjoyed it, no matter what. And who wouldn't? Just by listening to his voice, no one would think this guy was a Dragon Type specialist, more like a Fairy one.*
Sue
"Sometimes you gotta stand for something, sometimes you gotta stand your ground. So I'll keep my head up, I'll keep my head up, I'll keep my head up!"

The father he got into the song, the more passionate Lance got about it. He just couldn't help himself, he was singing his heart and soul into it, just like he would do it for his dragons. At that point he forgot about all the people around him.

Well, not about *All* Of them. He knew Leaf was there, listening, and he sang for her too. "Come on, join me!" He called to her when there was enough time in the song to do it.
Thomas
*Still smiling, Leaf would refuse. She was happy to see him go all out and this excited but not her turn. She'd wave her arms and shake her head.*

"No, I'll wait for my turn. I don't want to look like a lost child at a Mall."

*Leaf would burst out laughing at her own joke. Classic Leaf! She didn't want to ruin it for Lance.*
Sue
Lance wasn't disappointed at that. A little sad, maybe, but he was quick to get back to the song with his mood improving with it instantly.

"Just a king of my castle, going to battle, ain't no giant here too tall I couldn't handle!"

He honestly loved that song. It had correspondences to his career there as well and even if they became true later than he heard the sing for the first time, it was pretty much the anthem of his life. At least he liked calling it that.
