[color=fff79a]"Aww...Going so soon?"[/color] the woman pouted. [color=fff79a]"Ah well, can't hold you up here forever. Have fun now!"[/color] She waved. Hiro waited for the girls to say their goodbyes and closed the door. [color=8dc73f]"The market, huh? I guess it'd be wise to stock up... Oh! But there's someone waiting for us at the edge of town, so we should try to not let him wait for too long."[/color] Hiro scratched the back of his head, he felt as if he was forgetting something--other than the man who'd told to meet him. He thought deeply, but with a sigh Hiro accompanied the girls to the market. He couldn't remember.

The market was a mix of voices, faces and smells. Salesmen trying to get as many customer as possible by simply outshouting each other, lots of people walking around from stall to stall, haggling, negotiating or simply chatting with each other, adding to the din of voices. Considering how calm it'd been in the rest of town, the amount of people currently at the market was astonishing. Lot's of stalls sold food, trinkets, and other small stuff. Only a few stalls really stood out. Instead of the colorful fabrics that provided shade for the other stalls, one of these stalls had a mossy green cloth. Behind the stall sat a moderately old man with sharp look. The stall was mostly unvisited, save for the occasional customer approaching, buying something and quickly leaving again. The old man didn't speak a lot either, he seemed to answer some questions, but other than that kept silent. The wares displayed on his stall ware spherical objects with a black ring around it and a button in the middle...poké balls. Rather than the standard great- and ultra balls, it seemed the man was selling apricorn balls, which was confirmed by looking over the stall, revealing that the old man was handcrafting them as he sat there.

Another notable stall was one with a big logo emblazoned upon the front. The logo seemed to resemble a kind of pickaxe, and closer inspection would reveal that equipment for exploration, as well as some mundane items were sold here. Large coils of rope, small glass bottles with a yellow-ish liquid inside and jars of honey were presented here.
