Watch the scene play out where Lebanne of Society of Battle Connoisseurs.

Visit Boutique Couture at the south of the city. To get there quickly, fast travel to Vernal Pokemon Center which is nearby the store.

Go to the boutique and watch the scenes where you will be greeted by Asami, the designer there where she will give you a free outfit but have to battle her and win with a Mega Evolved Pokemon.

She will have a Lv.50 Florges who is weak to Poison and Steel-type moves so make sure that your Mega Pokemon has any of the moves with those types to have an easier time

You'll also unlock the following side missions after defeating Asami:
78 - Inkay's Fragrant Ink (if you've already completed Vanillite's Fragrant Snow)
79 - A Fateful Swing of a Metronome
80 - A Shocking Territorial Dispute
3
After defeating Asami, she will immediately give you new clothes. Wear them and then head to the Hotel Richissime by fast traveling to Cafe Ultimo which is near the destination.
4
Head inside and you will be greeted by Lebanne. Speak to her again and she will lead you to where the party is. Watch the scenes until Lady Jacinthe appears. She will invite all the guests to gather at the center but Naveen will call your rival telling your about new Rogue Mega Pokemon. You and rival will decide to leave the venue, despite Lebanne's protests.
5
Head back to Hotel Z for a strategy meeting. Watch the scenes and talk to Lida to commence the meeting. You will learn that there are new 3 Rogue Mega Pokemon: Froslass, Altaria, and Venusaur. You will also have Jacinthe join in on the meeting.

You'll also unlock the following side missions after the strategy meeting:
81 - Pancham the Courier
82 - Clauncher Launching Water Gun
83 - Honedge's Cutting Edge
84 - Strike First to Make 'Em Flinch!
85 - Follow Litwick!
A Rogue Mega Froslass
A Rogue Mega Altaria
A Rogue Mega Victreebel

After pacifying all three Rogue Mega Pokemon, go back to Hotel Z and discuss with your teammates what happened. Eventually, your rival will notice something going on outside.
7
Once you are outside, you will learn that the surroundings have become Battle Zone thanks to Jacinthe's persistence. You will have to battle members of SBC in order to remove the zone.
8
After two battles with SBC members, it's time to fight Lebanne.

Lebanne's Pokemon:
Lv. 53 Noivern
Lv. 53 Tyrantrum
Lv. 53 Garchomp
Lv. 54 Mega Dragalge

All of Lebanne's Pokemon are particularly weak to Ice and Dragon-type moves so it's better to have any moves from these elements.

After winning against Lebanne, watch the scene to finish the mission.
