They would begin walking again, making there way to what looked to
be a candy store. It wasn't your average gas station store, either,
but one of the huge candy stores with giant gummy worms and
make-your-own jelly-bean bags and the like. Winter was inside in a
heartbeat
"Ooh, candy!" Emerald exclaimed excitedly. He seemed to have
regained some of the energy lost in taking care of Oren and making
sure he didn't run off in any shape or form. He entered the shop
happily and looked around. Oren would follow and looked around
also, with a beaming smile on his face.
Nau had grew tired waiting for the group to be ready for the
investigation, so he decided explore the town like everyone else.
He walked around the town occasionally stopping to closely look at
somethings that caught his eye. Nau then noticed the candy store,
he was taken back on how big it was and took a minute to look at
it. He then notice the rest of the group be inside "I guess that's
where everyone went.."
Of course Winter had brought some money with him. The candy was
pretty expensive, though, and despite how well his work payed him,
he guessed Kiro and Roran probably wouldn't approve if they learned
he had blown all his earnings on a hoard of giant gummy worms,
so....he grabbed one--just one!-- box of giant worm, then a much
cheaper bag of small worms and took them to the counter. The lady
working was a bored Arcanine, who perked up with a grin when she
saw him.
Frozzy followed into the store, "Wait for me..."
She watched them while remaining at a distance, despite her
preference for sweets she wasn't really interested in the candy and
other sweets. "So.. How's uhh your leafeon friend Summer doing? Is
that her name, I don't remember clearly... Big bro mentioned her
abit..."
"Summer?" Emerald asked. "Well...let's see...she's fine as always?"
Emerald said as he looked around all the different candy, while
keeping a paw on Oren. "Still working in her cafe. I think she's
doing fine..." Oren was excitedly looking around all the different
candy, and then broke away from Emerald because he saw other
people, potential people who he'll be working alongside with. It
seems like he had spotted Nau.
"Nice to hear, Shade told talked bout her sometimes... He was the
best brother I could ask for... Anyways I'm going to take a walk
now..." she walks out and waves in the window, she walks off
if you don't understand how she is acting, look at my edited
sign-up form
Margo trotted down the street, smelling her way to the place she
knew would be there. She came to a halt in front of the huge double
doors of the candy shop. She grinned, then flew through the doors.
She almost ran into a cute Rockruff who was bounding off, and she
giggled. She made her way straight to the large candies, where she
grabbed a huge bag of the big candies. She nearly fell over lifting
it off the shelf and began to totter towards the cashier counter,
where she waited, huffing and staggering slightly, behind a white
vulpix. oh that's cool, she thought, examining the pokemon.
"hey you," she said to the cool-looking vulpix. 'You look super
weird! Did you die your fur, or were you just born like that. Is
your fire white too?"
Winter's ears flicked. He had just finished paying, and was turning
back to where his friends were shopping when he noticed a shiny
Umbreon looking at him. He wasn't even sure she was even talking to
him at first, mostly when she mentioned fire, but he was
still a vulpix, and he was the only other pokémon in line....had
this Umbreon never heard of regional variants? "Uh...I was born
like this, and I don't use fire, I'm an ice type." As if I
needed someone to remind me... He winced, his lip curling as he
though back to a certain someone.
Nau decided to wander in the candy store. He was still in awe by
how big the store was, he had never seen a candy store this big.
Granted he never actually seen a candy store before but he knew
that this is bigger than usual. Nau didn't notice the excited
Rockruff coming towards him, he was a little too distracted to
notice
"WOOOW. I've never seen an ice type Vulpix before! I like how
pretty your fur is. Is it soft? Do you get hot all the ti-" she cut
off as she realized the Arcanine was impatiently tapping her paw.
With an oomph, she heaved the box onto the table. "How much? And do
you have any wrapping paper?"
"Those? The cashier replied, ringing them up. "Bout 1800PD for all
of it. As for wrapping paper, I'm afraid we only have plastic
bags."
Winter had opened his mouth to reply before seeing her turn to the
cashier. Awkwardly, he backed up and made his way over to where
Emerald was just as Oren ran off, carrying the candy in the bag
around his neck. His tail flicked as the Rockruff ran past him
Emerald was distracted by Frozzy walking off...he wandered what was
going on with her. She was usually very hyperactive... and then he
had finally noticed that Oren had ran off. "OREN! Don't just run
off like that!" Emerald cried out as he was holding a bag or two of
star shaped fruit gummies. He noticed Winter watching the escapade,
and his exasperated expression lightened somewhat. "Ah, hey Wints."
Emerald was glad to see an old friend at least.
Oren had come skidding to a stop near Nau and was hopping excitedly
on the spot. He remembered seeing him at the hotel and was eager to
make friends. "Hello!"
The Umbreon sighed, but handed over the pd. It was almost all of
it. Margo grabbed the box, the took one of the big bags. She
staggered out the door, then opened the box and dumbed all the
contents into the bag. She chucked the box onto a large recicling
box, and walked off, with the bag, to find somebody who sold
wrapping paper.
Frozzy began running around and she knocked into a certain
Espeon
Frozzy: "Big sis? Is that you?"
Glare: "Oh? Frozzy! How's my baby sister?"
Frozzy: "Glare... Stop acting like him..."
Glare: "....Sorry... How have you been?"
Frozzy: "I bought a cute outfit, saw Emerald and Winter! You?"
Glare: "Meh, Science stuff isn't as interesting as I thought..."
It seemed there wasn't any sign or hint of where wrapping paper
would be sold, but there was a strange-looking boltund walking out
of a Restaurant, licking his lips, before proceeding to confidently
walk down the street, vibing to songs on his Ipod. Perhaps he might
be worth asking?
Margo being Margo, she immediately asked the bolthund. "Hey! Hi, hi
there, do you know where I can get wrapping paper?I really need
some and I can't find any and I can pay for it and I have pd!"
One of the Boltund's earbuds seemed to float out of its ears as he
turned to her. "Hmm? Wrapping paper? Yeah, follow me." He grinned
at her, and began leading the way confidently through the town, his
earbud still floating beside his head, outside his ear. He seemed
to be heading for a general store.
