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.

It was, ah, kind of you to offer. [offers Airi a berry] But definitely he is...not someone I would want to fulfill that ambition.

[softlyfalling]

Unfortunate that you had to be beholden to him, even for a short while.

[ she digs into her shopping bag, and pulls out a ball to wave at Simha. ]

He'll at least have competition, since it seems that the Walker isn't the only Deathlord to try and lay claim to the Hundred Kingdoms, and I'm sure there's more besides. ...would that any with the ambition could be relied upon to rule well, though, and I don't know that any can.

[forgottenmercy]

I do not, ah, know how long I was married to him.

[does hellpuppy want to chase a ball? does he??]

I doubt that any with that, ah, ambition would rule well.

...or what will, ah, come from their conflicts.

[softlyfalling]

Surely not that long? You're young, still.

It sort of—begs the question of what can be done. L...Lark believes, and perhaps she too has the power of the Sun behind her, so there may be something to it, but what kind of peace is possible?

[forgottenmercy]

That is, ah, the question, isn't it. What is, ah, possible, even with all that power?

...and the, ah, shape that it would take, too.

[softlyfalling]

...I can't really imagine it. It'd be something never seen before.

[forgottenmercy]

It would, ah, have to be, given...what has been tried, before.

[softlyfalling]

...do you think there's hope for it?

[forgottenmercy]

...I do not, ah, know.

But something, ah, has to be done...

[softlyfalling]

...whatever it is, I don't think it's anything power like mine can help with.

[forgottenmercy]

...because of, ah...the nature of it?

[softlyfalling]

Mm. Yes. It's really only good for bringing things that are—just as bad, or worse, probably.

[forgottenmercy]

...I, ah, see.

...though, I, ah, wonder...

[softlyfalling]

You wonder... what?

[forgottenmercy]

...maybe we, ah, cannot build anything with our powers.

...but we could, ah, make room for others to do so, couldn't we?

[softlyfalling]

...maybe.

I'm just not really sure I trust myself to make those kinds of calls, about what sorts of things ought to be cleared away. And what sorts of people.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, can be a difficult choice.

...and, ah, especially difficult for you, given...

[softlyfalling]

...my demonstrated questionable choices of allegiance?

[forgottenmercy]

[shakes his head]

...your, ah, difficulty with exerting your will.

[softlyfalling]

I suppose... it's hard to fathom how one might change the world when one can barely change oneself.

I'm... it's a slow process.

[forgottenmercy]

Small, ah, steps. You do not, ah, have to change the world right away.

...I know that what I was, ah, doing was small-scale, mostly.

[softlyfalling]

I suppose I'm just anxious about how to... outweigh what damage I've done, maybe.

[forgottenmercy]

One step, ah, at a time. You, ah, have a whole lifetime to...do that.

Start with, ah, something small, so you do not be overwhelmed.

[softlyfalling]

That's... a good point.

Maybe soon I'll remember more of... what I was actually doing, after I left the Walker's service. Or, well, maybe if we both ever leave here, I can help you.

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, maybe...

Maybe I will, ah, also remember more of what I was doing, too. Like I sort of, ah, know, but...
