"Yeah, let's just keep going, huh?" I respond to Celes. I then hear someone saying something like 'sneaking, sneaking. I'm sneaking' and instantly turn my head towards wherever that voice was coming from. All I saw was a bush, and, for some reason, I smelled something minty. It didn't seem like whatever smelled like mint was going to be hostile, so I continued forwards, and into Scale City. The place was huge, and there were dragons all over the place. "Whoa..." was all I could say at this time. As I wandered around, I bumped into something slimy... wait, that slime was familiar. I look down to see Anthony, who was holding a big bag of money for some reason. "Um, so, how have you been doing?" I ask Anthony, who simply smiles and says "Great," that seemed to be the end of our conversation, and he walked off towards some sort of clothing store. [i]Pfft, who needs 'fashionable' clothes? It's just going to be trash in five minutes anyways.[/i] I think as I watch him head into the store, money in... wait, he doesn't have hands, does he? Either way, it seems like someone just wasted whatever money they could scrape together on something that probably won't even help them. This place was almost too much for me with its buildings that look taller than the tallest of all pokemon, the number of residents, and even the size of the city, itself. It was nothing like Allure Town, and was somehow bigger than both it and Treasure Town combined. As I looked at the buildings, I noticed a hotel... I'd probably end up staying there if I can't find the crook before it gets dark, which was likely given the sheer size of the place.

I continued wandering around the place, unable to find anything that I'd want to spend my poke on when, out of nowhere, I bump into something scaly... well, that was kinda normal in a place like this, but this didn't exactly feel like dragon scales. I look up to see Spruce, except... he was grey now for some weird reason. Snapped out of his fantasy or whatever it was he was doing, he asked me "Um, so how have you been doing?" I smile at remembering that I'm going to stay at a nice hotel, have a ton of cash to spend, and get to stay in this awesome city and eventually I respond with a simple "Great," something then catches my eye, and I head towards the shop that did that. It was a small clothing store that seemed to boast 'the best clothing around!', and even a bold enough claim as 'can even help you win fights!' I had to see that to believe it, so I entered. Inside, there was an Altaria who woke up as soon as I opened the door, and explained "Ack! Sorry, it's just that, um, well, I haven't had too many customers lately. Welcome to Amanda's Threads! I'm Amanda, by the way." She then flies from the counter over towards me, and inquiries "Can I interest you in a fashionable helmet to replace the one you currently have? Oh, or, maybe something tough, like that old human army supposedly was? Hm... you know, dragons like you could always go for a thick sweater, never know when those ice types are going to strike." I had almost no idea what she was talking about, and ended up stuttering "Um... uh... wha...? Maybe? I dunno?" Amanda then continued showing me around the place, apparently trying to find something I'd like as well as something that would apparently help in battle.
