Looking for Pokeballs...

The wide road down the center of the village is rife with all kinds of shops that sell a lot more than just souvenirs and seashells, though you can get those, too. The people of the village take turns at discretion with the markets daily, so you can never be sure just what is available on a day-to-day basis.

Looking for Pokeballs...

Post by Bianca » Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:16 pm

Bianca left her home to see what stalls were selling in the early morning...she had figured everyone would still be sleeping and found she was wrong. The citizens of the Shallows Village were very active, preparing for the day...fishermen passed by her, offering her nods of hello. They knew of her cottage just outside of the village, where all around it grew beautiful flowers of all colors. She had even been working with exotic plants which some children of the village, bored and having time between chores, would come and touch them as delicately as children could...The village street quietly hummed in light conversation here and there, soon to explode with merchants calling out to customers and sounds of music and loud chatter. Bianca kept walking, her light brown eyes wondering if anyone was open at this hour.

A wrinkly, old man with a cane hailed the green-haired lovely. Judging from his appearance, he was up long past his bedtime, yet he was there, peddling his wares.

"Why, hello, young miss! What would you be looking for? Perhaps some of my accessories might sate your curiosity."

A young man who looked like he could possibly have been related to the older one walked out of the house across the street and up to his stall. The elder said, in a voice that was plenty loud enough, but not shouting so disturbingly as to disrupt those who were trying to get some shut-eye,

"Jorgan, have you met this little cutie? I'm sure that we can find something for her."

"I've not yet had the pleasure. After you see Kalon's trinkets, we'll have to see if we can't pick out some swimwear for you, hm?"

"S-Swimwear?" The young woman turned bright red and shook her green-haired head. She held out her delicate hands in her defense...She certainly was not here for swimwear...Bianca quietly said, "No, um, well...I was wondering if you had a pack of Pokeballs available...? I-I'm looking for a Pokemon companion..."

Jorgan, the younger one, pointed southwest and said,

"They sell pokéballs upstairs in the pokécenter on that edge of town. I only have three on me. If you only want a few, you can buy them off me to save yourself a trip."

He grinned at his polite gesture, despite his confusion over why the girl got so shy about swimwear. Kalon, the elder one, said,

"We'll both be open for another six hours, so you can stop by to browse and chat afterward."

Bianca took a moment to think...she would prefer to help and give money to private shops like this one...she was always the type to help out more personalized shops. The Poke'Center could spare one person. Besides...these people seemed to be very nice to her. Her hand went into the pocket on her dress, which she brought out a pouch of money. "How much for yours...?" She said, as she fiddled with the drawstrings.

"Uh, they're four bucks apiece, so that's twelve dollars,"

Jorgan answered. He didn't realize that Bianca had it in her mind to help him out; he was just offering the retail price to save her a trip. He dug through a bag that he kept under his table and plucked three pokéballs from them.

"Oh...of course..." She went into the small purse and procured the exact amount of money which the man asked her for, sliding it upon the table between them. She waited for the Pokeballs, her gaze wandering elsewhere...it looked that people were finally coming out of their homes. "Thank you...", Bianca added as she looked back to Jorgan, though he had gone to obtain the Pokeballs under the counter...

"No problem, Miss!"

Jorgan rummaged through a bag that was under the stall and immediately produced two pokéballs.

"Wait; I know that there's a third around here, somewhere . . . It should've been . . ."

He mumbled and grumbled for a bit, then drew the third from the bottom of the bag, where it had somehow managed to slip. He put it on the table and took the money, which he ran through his validation machine under the counter.

"There you go! And it looks like your money . . . checks out just fine. Is there something else that I can do for you?"

His eyes conspicuously twitched toward some pretty swimsuits that were hanging up on display.

Her eyes were very observant and she saw him eyeing the swimsuits that were hanging..."Um...did you want to... show me something in particular...?" She said slowly...it was obvious he had wanted her to see the swimsuits...as she said this, her hand reached out to grab the Pokeballs, which were remarkably light, to put into her dress' pockets.

A natural-born salesman, Jorgan promptly seized this opportunity. He pointed toward a group of four outfits, those being a blue, red, purple, and brown one.

"The saltwater suit is really popular, around here. You'd look great in it! If you like the style, we have other colors to choose from, too."

He mentally pictured the little lovely in the suits one-by-one, trying to determine which color she'd look best in. He grinned, as there wasn't a bad option among them."

Brown eyes watched the salesman as he strut to the outfits which had previously made her cringe. He was so sure he would look good in it, and her mouth was dry as she spoke her next words..."Oh my, it is quite...." Bianca paused, looking for the right adjective. "....r-revealing..." She honestly did not think she could find the bravery to wear such a thing...

The young man hesitated for a moment. It occurred to him that he may be about to cause a culture clash. He mentally rifled through his knowledge and options, but Kalon had his back.

"People around here are a bit too aquatic to worry about that kinda' thing; you should go ahead and take a leap! If you don't like it, Jorgan still has plenty of other choices for ye!"

Jorgan looked a bit relieved, though still sweated a bit. This way, at least, if the lady were to get offended, it would be at Kalon, not him, and he would have the chance to try to talk her down. He nodded in agreement, hoping that it wouldn't too far implicate him either way.

Seeing as the old man suggested it, Bianca fidgeted nervously, but smiled shyly at the two. "Perhaps I may...try it out...? There is no harm in doing that, right...?" Her cheeks were bright pink in her embarrassment, but she asked anyway...she could at least see what she looked like it it...

Jorgan ginned widely, glad that his friend had helped him out just the right way. Kalon likewise smiled.

"Yeah, just pick out whatever color you like- We have more to choose from, of course. -and take it to any of the fitting rooms in there! Only the first two on the right are occupied,"

Jorgan answered cheerily. Quite ironically, a girl in a green version of the same outfit walked out to Jorgan at just that time. She said,

"You're right; the green one does look the best on me! I'll take it and the yellow one,"

and she handed some coins over, which Jorgan held under the table as he responded,

"Of course! You look great! Thank you for your patronage."

She darted off to meet up just a few blocks down the way with another friend in a red one and yelled back,

"Thank you~!"

"Correction: Only the second room on the right is occupied.

Indoor layout: The store looks much like other clothes stores, but with all manner of swimwear, including many that didn't appear to be designed for humes. Toward the back were three larger rooms, labelled as "Office," "Kitchen," and "Tailoring." As soon as one enters, though, there is a hallway to either side, each having four smaller rooms on either side of the hallways. Although smaller than the big rooms, they were more than spacious enough to qualify as fitting rooms, especially if one were to compare them to Wal-Mart.

The outfits were selling very quickly it appeared...Bianca blushed, looking at how revealing it was...but oh, she wanted to treat herself to something once in a while. Bianca turned to Jorgan and said, "Then...I'll try one...what color do you suggest, um...J-Jorgan, right?". She spoke so softly that it was perhaps hard to hear with people starting to come through the town after waking.
