-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two girls walked in, one with strikingly crimson long hair, and another with raven black hair, and in the raven-haired girls arms, there was a rodent-like flying squirrel lying comfortably in her arms.
The crimson haired girl called out to Sirzechs, "Onii-sama, where did you get this squirrel, can you get me one too?!" she asked in excitement.
"Rias-chan!" exclaimed Sirzechs, with a goofy smile.
"Emo!"
As the girls entered the room, Emolga saw Meelis and immediately flew off from Akeno's arms and landed on Meelis' shoulder and began to rub it's head against him.
At this point, Meelis was feeling a bit awkward and confused, unlike his grand plan of infiltrating the Gremories, he had not accounted for the Emolga he made accidentally. When he made Emolga, there was no master plan behind it, his thought process when making Emolga was shat making a Pokémon was much easier than imagining a random animal from scratch, not to mention that his favorite Generation was Generation V.
Ironically, his move made without a plan had better results than his original planned method.
After seeing Emolga fly out of their reach, Rias and Akeno finally noticed that they were not alone and
Slightly embarrassed, Rias and Akeno fixed their act and greeted everyone in an educated manner, "Good Morning everyone." Then she fixed her sight one Meelis and continued, "My name is Rias Gremory, and this is my Queen, Akeno Himejima." To which Akeno just bowed in greetings and stood behind Rias like good secretary.
To which Meelis greeted back, "Good morning, Rias, Akeno, my name is Meelis Zagan."
After that Rias went back to usual antics and asked Sirzechs again, "Onii-sama, where did you find this squirrel, it's so cute, also it seems kind of attached to Akeno and I can see why considering it seems to have electric abilities." Giving Akeno the stink eye at the last part.
At this point, Meelis had to step in, especially because he could feel the looks Sirzechs was silently giving him to step in, " *ahem* actually Rias, that creature is called Emolga, and I made her through my house's special ability, Life Magic."
Sirzechs and Venelana both exchanged looks at what Meelis said, but neither showed any objection and let it go.
Rias, oblivious to that exchange excited asked Meelis, "Really, Meelis, right, can you make me my own Emolga, or some other animal?"
Before Meelis could answer, Grayfia, who had at one point stepped inside the room, but never talked, stepped in, "I'm afraid not Rias-sama, from what Sirzechs-sama stated, Meelis-sama still does not have a full grasp of his abilities and would be too tired from making a new 'pet.'"
Meelis, who was actually about to agree, froze for a second, before remembering how exactly he made Emolga, realizing that they were actually misunderstanding his situation, but instead of saying anything he just kept quiet, maybe he could use that to his advantage one day.
Before Rias could get sad, Meelis stated, "Don't worry Rias, when I can, I'll make a pet for you."
Internally, Meelis was thinking which Pokémon would be the best fit for someone like Rias, dragon types would better suit Asia, as in cannon, while a fire type would seem lazy, dark types would fit the Devil theme, but the Gremory, as described by the book of Solomon, have the ability to find hidden treasures, know past, present, and future, and enamoring women, oh and Camels… but Rias is scared of Camels, so based on that context a psychic, luck, or female Pokémon would suit her best.
In the end he couldn't decide between Pokémon like Absol (warns of future dangers), Togepi (bringer of good luck), or some other Pokémon.
{Author: I am planning to give Emolga to Akeno, give a Pokémon to rias (either from those I mentioned or if you got a better recommendation I'll take it [doesn't have to be a strong Pokémon it just has to suit them]), and then give mc a Pokémon that would suit his personality, but I think that's about it for Pokémon, at most id give a cat to Kuroka, but that's it.}
"Ok, now that that's settled, how about we enjoy a meal and get to know each other better." Venelana stated.

-Scene Change-
After the meal, Meelis introduced himself and his backstory to those who did not know, which he assumed was only Rias and Akeno, since logically Sirzechs should have done a background search on him and then told his wife and mother.
Luckily, he did not have to lie about anything since he was too young to remember his parents and lived his life in the orphanage until now, if anything his only lie was the 'discovery' of his Life Magic and his 'identity' as a Zagan.
Soon after, Rias and Akeno toured him around the mansion and some of the surroundings of the mansion, until a servant came for Meelis to bring him to his new room.
Inside his room Meelis laid in his bed checking his status and thinking of his plans.

The one skill he wanted to rule over DxD cost him 2,500LP which is not something he could afford anytime soon, luckily editing a preexisting skill would automatically reduce the cost of getting the skill he wanted since upgrading was easier than creating.
Aside from that Meelis also wanted to upgrade his memory or boost his natural talent in some way aside from relying on just his (Get Creative) skill alone.
While (Get Creative) is good for making OP skills, entirely relying on it would be detrimental for his growth as he'd be relying on it and never experience growth of his own, so instead is plan is to use it to make practical skills and growth type skills which means he would be combining the best of both worlds by relying on (Get Creative), but also relying on his own growth.
As for his first practical and arguable growth type skill, he decided to imitate a certain knucklehead ninja's signature skill.

[(Shadow Clone)]
[This skill allows the user to create one or more copies of themselves. The user's Demonic Power is evenly divided between themselves and their clones. Once dispersed, the clone's memories, experiences, and remaining Demonic Power are transferred back to the user]
Ignoring his slight exhaustion from using too much LP with his already low LP reserves, Meelis contemplated the practicality of this skill.
'The shadow clone jutsu, one of the most iconic techniques in anime, it can share the experience and memories of the user simply by splitting their energy in half, the ultimate cheat for training, and since the technique itself doesn't boost my power or anything, creating it was not very costly, but the side effects of the technique are still applicable to me, especially with my low demonic Power reserves. Based on my estimates, right now I could probably pull off only 1 clone.'
'No matter, I'm going to use my clones to study and practice my control, no matter the world, energy control is always king, so having my clone, which can't train for more Demonic Power since it is just a clone, practice its control and do other menial things like etiquette and academic subjects; while I focus on physical combat and Demonic Power reserves training would be much more efficient.'
'Sadly, I can't use my (Get Creative) skill for a while, my LP reserves only regen after a while when fulfilling my desires, and right now the only real desire I can fulfill is satisfying my hunger with good meals, so it'll take me a while to get enough LP for a good skill, or maybe, if my guess is correct, learning that magic spell before upgrading it with (Editor) would be enough for me to start my plans.' Meelis wondered in anticipation.
After that Meelis went to sleep for the day.
