THE SHOPPING TRIP

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Who: Shinn and Lion!
What: A shopping trip!
When: Afternoon
Where: Violet City!
Warning: Hilarity!


After arranging the meeting to happen sometime later in the afternoon, Shinn can be seen waiting for a certain someone in his rarely used set of Ace Trainer clothes, no thanks to Trisa's mishap earlier in the morning.

In any case, he seems to be early, as he's been fiddling with that Poke Gear of his for quite a while.

[Looking from a different side, Lion got to that rack a little later, but oh, these flashlights.]

These look good enough.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Just need the batteries, then.

[With that, Shinn begins taking 8 of them and putting it inside the cart.

Having spares doesn't hurt.]

[isthedeadcat]

I think I saw them near the counter.

[Yup, Lion nods, going off to look for batteries now. There is never enough carefulness when traveling with two kids, two honeymooners, and Will.]

[He gives a nod, and walks to the counter. There, both of them found the shopkeeper, who is an old guy.]

Hello there, young lads, checking out these items?

[isthedeadcat]

Good afternoon, sir, we were looking for batteries for these flashlights. [Being polite to NPCs 101 xD]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Oho, of course, of course...!

[The old man begins rummaging through the counter, trying to find that goddamned pack of batteries, while Shinn waits on the side, just looking around.]

[isthedeadcat]

[And meanwhile Lion waits, see icon xDDDD]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Right, here ya go! All of those would be 2,000 P!

[Well at least that isn't too expensive. Shinn's going to get out his wallet and is about to pay...!]

[isthedeadcat]

[Oh no no no, definitely no, Lion's wallet is already out and paying, don't you dare.]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

[Shinn's about to retort before-]

Ah, young love, I remembered when me and my wife used to argue about who gets to pay for items.

[Yeah he's just.

What.]

1/2

[isthedeadcat]

[SCREAM, WHAT WHAT WHAT, SLOWLY DYING INSIDE.]

2/2

[isthedeadcat]

[Cough, cough.]

We are just friends, sir.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Coulda fooled me, you two!

[The old man barked with laughter as he rang up Lion's money, to Shinn's dismay.]

[isthedeadcat]

He's just too much of a good friend. [Having paid, Lion waits for the things to go into their bags. THIS IS AWKWARD.]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Well, here ya go! Have a nice day!

[And with that, their business in this shop was finished, and they're on their way to the second stop!]

...

That was.

Odd.

[isthedeadcat]

[Lion... Sighs and shrugs. You can't get odder than Grandfather.]

The thought processes of some elder people are something difficult to understand.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

So, where to next?

[isthedeadcat]

Next we will need a few more tools, in case of anything unexpected happening in the cave...

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Like a Geodude rampage?

[isthedeadcat]

That sounds quite horrible, but there is never enough precaution.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Yep, anything can happen when it involves Pokémon.

[Nodding sagely at that.]

[isthedeadcat]

That much is true...

Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

Let's hope so.

[Second store get!

...its the Mart.]

[isthedeadcat]

All right, we need quite a few things from here... [Lion fetches a small list from a pocket and gives it a quick read.]

[swordofimpulse.livejournal.com]

[Shinn's just going to go off and find some escape ropes.]
