"Wait! I need to ask you something really quick." I say to the keckleon who gave me the grass gummi. I then calm down a bit and ask "So... would you happen to be the missing shopkeeper Rosebud?" It seemed like a long shot, given that his voice sounded masculine, and the name 'Rosebud' sounded feminine, but, you never know what other pokemon are going to name their children... keckleon especially, it seemed. If he was the missing keckleon, then I would finally have completed my mission, and would head back to my guild... and I kinda needed that with the wild goose chase I was put on by that blasted, evil dratini... that jerk will pay if this isn't the right keckleon, though... wait... I only remember asking if anyone saw a keckleon, not if they saw one that might go by the name 'Rosebud', so it might all just be my fault. Either way, I was still pretty stressed out from all that happened. [i]Yeah, go to Wally's guild, that's where the keckleon is for sure![/i] I recall, though, it could have been nobody that said those exact words, it was words similar to those that started me on this whole ordeal... at least I got SOMETHING for all of this, even if this wasn't Rosebud, and I had no reason whatsoever to be here at the moment. I couldn't take out my frustration on Wally, he was a guildmaster, and would probably destroy me if I tried to attack him, and I couldn't just attack random citizens in Scale City, 'cause then I'd be an outlaw, and would be hunted down by some rescue team... it wouldn't end well. I wondered, then, if there was any possible way to let out my anger and maybe even spend the 200 poke that I found in Beach Cave... though, considering the size of the place, Scale City was probably where such a place would exist.

I dry up my tears only to notice Samuel left me behind. "Hey, WAIT UP!" I shout to try to get his attention as I run after him. "Why are you trying to leave the rest of your team behind? Are you trying to get yourself killed out there or something!?" I then continue as I continue tailing Samuel, who seemed somewhat slower than a normal treecko. On my way, I pass by that snivy again, as well as William, who was handing the snivy a grass gummi. [i]Why is William giving someone else candy?[/i] I ask myself as I continue on. As soon as I catch up to him, I place myself in front of Samuel, and say to him "We should wait. Do you really want to try this mission when we're missing someone?" I then try to make sure he doesn't go too far from everyone else, and hope that William would know where to find us... he should know, after all, we weren't all too far away from the guild where we started this mission. The area we were in was nice and sunny, similar to where I just came from, and the grass was gently blowing in the breeze. The breeze felt kind of nice at this point due to the fact that it was still summer, and still very warm in the sun. Heck, there didn't seem to be a single cloud in the sky by the time we left, and even now there was nothing blocking the sun's rays from hitting us. Surely this kind of weather would be intolerable by whatever ice types might live around here at this time... though, those kinds of pokemon seemed rather rare for some reason.

"Aw thanks, Hex." I respond to Hex before she heads into the shop... with Josh and Matt heading in there as well. [i]Wow, it seems like I got Amanda some customers. Good, she seemed really nice, and the stuff she's selling is pretty cool too.[/i] I think as I wait for them to return. Josh ended up with a purple scarf that he says boosts some sort of power... seems like it would go really well with the TM he just bought from the nearby store. Hex, on the other hand came back with a yellow scarf, one that she didn't say what, exactly, it did. I guessed, then, that it was my turn to explain "Well, this helmet actually protects me against other dragon attacks. It, um, makes it so they don't super-effect me, or whatever," of course, this was the information that I got just from the test from earlier, for all I knew, it might actually increase a stat just like one of their pieces of equipment... and if it did, that would be awesome. I was kind of tired now, and decided to slither over to the hotel where Terra said that we'd meet, with my new helmet certainly turning heads around town. Heck, at least five other pokemon asked me where I got that, and every time, I'd respond with "At Amanda's Threads. She's got all kinds of other things too, if this isn't really your thing." I wondered if that place would end up becoming popular just because of me... nah, that can't be right, right? I mean, I'm just some random nobody... maybe it was the helmet, then? Meh, either way, when I looked back at the store, it was already crowded with customers... wow... I ignored it for now, and continued onwards, only just making it to the hotel before noticing that nobody else was following me, and I wasn't following anyone... oops.
