Pokemon: The Shopping District

[idolpro]

Once you've left behind the quaint little houses where everyone lives, you'll reach the shopping district. Here you'll find all kinds of restaurants and whether it's a cute cafe with desserts and drinks or a fancy place with four-star, four course menus both people and Pokemon are welcome. There are also a number of salon, costume, and toy shops catering solely to Pokemon so you can dress and pamper your partner properly. You can also procure raw items and tools to build and decorate those homes for your Pokemon from a number of the shops in the area.

Ah... it's a whole other city in the city...?

[ honestly she looks a little overwhelmed as she trots along with this buddy. ]

Mmmaybe... I should get some toys? It's been a while since I had a pet, I think...

[forgottenmercy]

This is, ah, a little overwhelming...[carrying this in his arms.]

[softlyfalling]

[ what is going ON here that looks even less like an animal ]

I suppose it's like... a more pleasant version of some of the other worlds they've crafted for games, but ah...

I've had pets, but I don't think there were—costumes and eateries and hairdressers for them?

[forgottenmercy]

There is, ah, so much, here.

And, ah, same...

[softlyfalling]

People in this place really care about pets, it seems...

It's a little charming, though. Our family dog would have been very smart-looking in a little coat. Boots for the rainy season.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, really seems so.

That is, ah, an adorable image...

[softlyfalling]

[ the houndour is now sniffing along the edges of the nearby buildings, checking out all the good smells. ]

Ah, you think so...? Well, I doubt Simha is going to like water, given that sometimes, he, ah, spits out fire? So maybe a little rain jacket isn't a bad idea for him, either. Especially if we end up going down to the beach.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, maybe...

...he, ah, spits fire? [tilts head at him]

[softlyfalling]

Just, ah—sometimes? It seems to be one of the... "moves" he can perform, or something like that... I suppose as a "Fire/Dark-type" that makes sense. I think.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, see. I thought for a moment that he randomly spit fire.

[softlyfalling]

Ah, no, not at all—although it was a little surprising? I don't know if yours has done anything like that.

[forgottenmercy]

Not, ah, yet. [Looks her up] Ah, she is a psychic/fairy type...

[softlyfalling]

Ah, interesting... I wonder what that means, in practice?

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, a good question.

[softlyfalling]

Do they have so many elemental poles, you think—ah, one moment—

[ she has to take a moment to shoo simha back in the right direction, since he seems liable to wander on his own. ]

[forgottenmercy]

Hmm, maybe. One for, ah, each type?

[softlyfalling]

It must be a very big world, then... or a very chaotic one?

[forgottenmercy]

Or, ah, both...

[softlyfalling]

Mm... but so far, it seems peaceful.

[ she glances sideways at the ralts. ]

Did you... does she have a name?

[forgottenmercy]

Her, ah, name is Airi. I wanted to give her a fortunate name.

[softlyfalling]

Ah, what does that mean, in your native tongue...? I named Simha after what we called some of our guardian statues.

[forgottenmercy]

The, ah, characters mean "love" and "white jasmine"

[softlyfalling]

Ah, that is a good name—for a sweet-smelling future.

[ simha has paused in front of a shop door, and lets out a sharp bark ]

Oh, I suppose we can go in—do you mind coming along, Persephone?

[forgottenmercy]

I do not,ah, mind. [Follows her in]

[softlyfalling]

[ here's a shop that's covered in pokemon toys, pokemon clothes, pokemon treats. holy shit. it's all for pokemon.

the shopkeepers coo at the new customers and compliment how cute they are. ]

Ah, I was thinking of maybe getting a little poncho or rain jacket after all... was there anything you were looking for?

I suppose she could wear a hat nicely.
