After a slight interruption by a somewhat familiar eevee, Amanda has me try on almost everything in the store, apparently just overjoyed that she had a customer. Hats, shirts, pants (though, none of those could ever fit), helmets, armlets and bracelets which she just put on my antennae, glasses and or goggles, and many different varieties of each thing. It was overwhelming, and probably only happened because there were no other customers around at this point. I eventually settled on a 'tough helmet', which looked odd... it was a sort of black color, appeared to be made out of some sort of steel, yet wasn't really armored, had a golden spike on the top, as well as a golden bird type of thing on the front. It was obviously shined and taken care of because this, much like my old helmet, which I still kept in my bag, looked like some sort of old human artifact. That being said, this seemed to be her only one... and she was willing to let it go for the normal price of any of her 'specialty items', namely, 3000 poke. After a lot of thought over whether it was really smart to spend all my money in this one place, Amanda asks if I'd like to test it out... test what out? 

This was just a helmet, and was probably just as tough as my old one... right? I end up nodding and she takes me to the back room, where she tells me to put on the helmet. I look at her confused until I realize that I was just carrying around the helmet I was thinking of carrying. I put it on, and she tells me to stand on the target... then she seems to examine me, and eventually calls on someone else "Ruby! I need you for a moment!" a dratini, a very odd one who had bright red scales rather than the usual blue then slithers out of a third room, and asks "Amanda, what did you need me for?" Amanda then whispers into the dratini's ear, and she says "Fine, I suppose this is another skeptical customer, then, Amanda?" Amanda nods, and right after that, Ruby uses dragonbreath on me, dealing... less than stellar damage? Wasn't I supposed to be weak against other dragonish tings? Either way, it worked in my favor, and Amanda handed me an oran berry, which I quickly ate so that I'd be in peak condition for whatever might happen next. [i]Wait... if I wasn't so effected by that attack because of this thing... that's amazing![/i] I think as I ask for another test, this time with me wearing my old green helmet. The attack deals quite a bit of damage to me, and it didn't seem as though Ruby was focusing on weak points, or even putting any more effort into this attack. I gladly pay the 3000 poke, and head off with my shiny new helmet, making sure to wear the thing everywhere... of course, that was after another oran, which, thankfully, was free of charge. [i]I wonder if it only works on dragon-type attacks...[/i] I then wonder as I wander around town again, new helmet on my head. I pass right under Hex during my wandering, and make sure not to spike her by accident. I then say "Hey, Hex! Guess what? I got a new helmet... oh, and, this thing is sure to help us on Mt. Dragoncoil!"

"Team Green? Uh... okay, then." I say as I notice the treecko suddenly start running around everywhere. During his absence, I head over to this supposed guildmaster's office, and open the door. I am instantly greeted with "YAY! More friends! What's the name of the team that you're starting?" Confused, I answer "Um.... team green..." though, my voice was small, as if it was barely there. Thank goodness, then, I suppose, that the guildmaster had ears about as big as his or her body. I then hear the guildmaster shout "What? Team Green? We already have one of those!" I then add "Yes... um, I'd like to join..." just like last time, my voice was rather, well, small. "Oh! Okay, then, here's a badge, and... wait, that's it, right?" The guildmaster then hands me a badge, and a chatot, which I thought was a decoration up until now squawks and shouts "Guildmaster Wally! You are forgetting her name, and you forgot to give this new recruit her bag!" The shouting surprised me enough to jump at that, and I am then handed a bag, and asked "So... what's your name?" I answer with "Bonnie," the chatot didn't seem content with that, and he asked "Last name, please?" I shake my head at that, and make up a story "Um, I used to be wild, I don't have a last name. In fact, I had to make up my own first name. So, just put down Bonnie, okay?" The chatot grumbles and mumbles something about 'uncultured wilds' and jots that down, and says "Okay, Bonnie, you're in the guild now... I will show you to your quarters, which you will share with the other members of Team Green," the chatot then flies out of the room, and I follow him over to a very simple-looking room with a keckleon, and that treecko from earlier... except, for some weird reason, the treecko was crying blood... ah, well, it's not like I'm perfect.
