Kai took a minute to calm down. When he began breathing normally,
he asked the first question on my mind. "Where... am I?" The
Fennekin told him probably the most useless answer ever:
"You're in a town," Lily replied. She gave a little shrug to the
Totodile. "I was planning on heading here to gather supplies to go
on an adventure, and now that you're here, we can go together!
What's your name, by the way?"
Kai was extremely confused. This stranger who he had known for
maybe 2 minutes was now inviting him to go on some adventure. And
also dragging him to what he presumes is the shop place. Wonderful.
"My n-name is Kai!"
Lily smiled. Kai. That had a ring to it, but she couldn't remember
where she heard it from. Maybe it was just her imagination. "My
name's Lily." She rushed over to a Froakie she saw and tapped its
shoulder. "Excuse me. Is the famous Kecleon Shop nearby?"
"Oh, you're busy? What are you guys doing? Going on a quest? If you
are, can I come? We, actually, I have a friend here!" Kai heard
Lily say this and immediately wished he were invisible. The
Fennekin already seemed like a pest, although she helped him out,
so she couldn't be all that bad. Still, he should try to stop the
situation for intensifying.
"Er, I'm so sorry for disturbing you. We'll just be on our way
now... Sorry."
"But... I don't know where the shop is! I was told that the shop
that Kecleon runs was famous in the area! And if they're going on
an adventure too, then we should tag along! Everyone can use help!"
"Keckleon? What the (Word censored because I like being on this
website) is that?" :Aria asked, and started looking around, seeing
if she could see what it was before they answered. She noticed a
store that she hadn't seen before, and pointed to it: "I think
that's it? I've never seen it before, so it probably is. Me and my
teammates usually shop over there." : She said, and pointed to a
small shop that looked like a pyukumuku:
"Oh! Okay, thank you!" Lily thought that the Eevee's response was
pretty weird. She had heard other Pokemon swearing before, that
wasn't a shock (though she'd really prefer not to hear it), but a
Pokemon not knowing who Kecleon was? And they were a frequent to
other shops, so... Wait. The Eevee hadn't answered her other
question. She felt that she absolutely needed to know where they
were going and how she could help. "Are you going to need any help
on your adventure? I'm not too bad in a battle. Kai, why don't you
take this," she paused, taking out a large amount of Poké in a bag
and handing it to her new companion, "Here, why don't you go down
there and buy some Oran Berries, Reviver Seeds, Apples, and Wands,
please and thank you!"
Kai reluctantly took the money(It was a LOT heavier than he
thought) and staggered over to the shop. planting the money on the
ground, causing the Kecleon at the store's eyes to perk up. "Ah,
welcome~ Would you like to purchase anything? We have a lot of
items that arrived recently, so feel free to buy as much as you'd
like!" Kai was stumped. He had never had the chance to manage
resources a lot, and he certainly felt overwhelmed by the Kecleon's
charisma and the amount of money, so he figured to buy some of
everything.
Lily was ecstatic. She hadn't been immediately turned down for
once! And she wasn't lying about being strong, she'd honed her
Fire-Type attacks to the maximum level, but having no one to fight
often, she always ended up getting defeated in combat. Her defenses
were just not as strong as she'd like, but that could change! She
could become a legendary adventurer alongside her newfound
friends!
Meanwhile, Kai was being thoroughly attacked by the Kecleon in the
nicest sense of the word. The shopkeeper was constantly pushing
other items towards the poor, defenseless Totodile, telling him
their advantages and how they are worth more than their price. It
eventually got to the point where he almost bought out the entire
shop and depleted two-thirds of Lily's money. Wait. From what he
could tell, Lily didn't go out on adventures frequently. How did
she accumulate this much money? He'd ask her later; he had to carry
around many astonishingly heavy items and the rest of the bagged
money. His new body's limits were surely going to be reached soon.
"Uh... 4 times. I guess 4." Lily nodded, confident in her
guesswork. She really hoped that Lady Luck was on her side for
this; she had always wanted to go on adventures as a kid, but her
father always told her a firm "No." This time was different. She
left her home(With parental consent, of course) ready to go on an
adventure. But she definitely needed friends to go along with her.
