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.

I, ah, do not wish to get a pet here.

...you, ah, have cats?

[softlyfalling]

They’re technically Shishiou’s, but they’re sort of just the whole unit’s now? There’s five of them, so they sort of need more attention than one person has, anyway.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, see. At least they will, ah, never be alone.

[softlyfalling]

Mm, cats like company, don't they? I don't think I had one growing up, but I feel like I've heard that.

[forgottenmercy]

Most, ah, do, I think. When my sister, ah, gave me a kitten, she suggested that I get a second cat, to be its friend.

[softlyfalling]

Was your family big? I don't really know much, apart from—well, Amaranth.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, had three older sisters - one ten years older than me, one five years older, and the last three years older.

I do not, ah, really remember much about them, though...

[softlyfalling]

I suppose you've seen all I remember of my brother, too—although I get the impression we weren't particularly close.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, seems not. Your, ah, brother...[just shakes his head]

[softlyfalling]

...I don't feel much fondness for him, but looking back, I wonder if he wasn't under a lot of pressure at home, as well.

[forgottenmercy]

He, ah, likely was. And, ah, went a different way than you did in reaction to it...

[softlyfalling]

We all have our ways of surviving, I suppose.

[forgottenmercy]

We, ah, all do, it's true.

But, ah, at least he is not here.

[softlyfalling]

Mm. I'm certainly not ready to face that kind of reunion, if it were possible.

[forgottenmercy]

Hopefully it, ah, won't be.

...I, ah, feel the same way, about the possibility of my husband.

[softlyfalling]

...I don't think you've ever mentioned him, to me.

[forgottenmercy]

...I, ah, have not? ...ah, I guess it has been some time since I took a memory that he appeared in. I am, ah, sorry...

[softlyfalling]

It's all right, I just—I suppose I assumed you were a bit young to be married?

Though, ah, it doesn't sound like a relationship you'd be enthusiastic to speak of.

[forgottenmercy]

I was, ah, sixteen when I married. [so yes, a bit young.]

...it, ah, was...

[softlyfalling]

...hm.

[ that just seems a little improper? ]

Your mother couldn't have been happy about that.

[forgottenmercy]

I, ah, doubt that she was...

[softlyfalling]

Were you so determined?

[forgottenmercy]

He was the, ah, local area administrator. I, ah, wanted to try to influence him to be...kinder in enforcing the High Lady's decrees.

[softlyfalling]

...ah. I'm sorry.

[ she knows how that kind of thing goes. ]

[forgottenmercy]

...I do not, ah, know how that worked out in the end, but I do know that at some point, he became Anathema.
