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.

[softlyfalling]

Hm, well... ah, I'd say jerky, except for it seems all pokémon like the berries here. I think when I was gathering them out on the hillside he seemed to like the sour-tasting ones best...

[ she inspects a shelf of packaged treats, looking for the right packet. ]

[forgottenmercy]

[picks up some for Airi.] Ah, maybe these? [Points]

[softlyfalling]

Oh, that looks right, thank you—

...is it rude to just open them here, if they don't cost anything? Um, excuse me—

[ she is assured by the shopkeeper that due to this limited-time offer, she's perfectly welcome to. also, what a good boy she has here! has she considered signing up for a grooming punchcard— ]

[forgottenmercy]

[finds a hairbrush for Airi] ...they, ah, are very helpful.

[softlyfalling]

I'm a little glad they're not sticking to the harsh realities of economics this time.

[ she tears open the packet, kneels down and tips a few of the treats out into her hand. ]

Ah, here, Simha, I... think these are your favorite?

[ he trots over, distracted from all the attention, and, after catching a whiff of the flavor, excitedly starts snarfing up the treats. ]

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, very nice.

[offers Airi the packet. she shakes her head.] ...ah, not hungry? Later, then.

[softlyfalling]

[ meanwhile simha continues to be the complete opposite in terms of diet, but suddenly pauses, beginning to glow. ]

Ah, is that—Simha, they're not disagreeing with you, are they...?

[forgottenmercy]

[tilts head] ...I, ah, hope not...?

[softlyfalling]

[ he glows brighter until it envelops his entire form, and his shape grows and elongates; when the glow fades, simha looks like this. ]

Ah, is this—evolution?

[forgottenmercy]

...It, ah, seems so...? He is, ah, impressive... [Ralts nods shyly in agreement.]

[softlyfalling]

[ someone emboldened, she gives her new large doggo a skritch behind the horns. ]

Look at you, growing up like that... I'm going to have to get you more treats for your new size, ha.

[forgottenmercy]

I wonder how many would be enough. [Offers Ralts a berry, who eats it...and starts glowing herself]

[softlyfalling]

—ah, Airi too...?

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, how wonderful. [she evolves into Kirlia. Persephone is gently encouraging and praising her, whispering gently]

[softlyfalling]

Ah... she sort of looks like a dancer, now.

[forgottenmercy]

She, ah, does. Though she might, ah, be a bit too shy for that...

[softlyfalling]

Well, regardless— [ addressing Airi: ] Well done.

[forgottenmercy]

[Airi shyly bows to receive the praise, and Persephone pets her encouragingly, offering her another berry.] Yes, you, ah, did well.

[softlyfalling]

I suppose now they're going to wear a different size in outfits, hah.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, seems likely. Should we, ah, go back, then?

[softlyfalling]

Mm. I think I will get one of those smart little coats...

[forgottenmercy]

He would, ah, look nice in one.

[softlyfalling]

I suppose we might as well really kit them out while the buying's free...

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] A, ah, coat for yours, a hat and maybe a dress for mine...?

[softlyfalling]

Sounds like a plan. I don't know how long we have, but... whatever motives the Producers have for this game, I think I miss having a pet, a little bit.
