Shio, by happenstance, was also in the same plaza. She had just returned from the forests of Toran in an effort to find more Natrelmon. It had been a successful venture, nabbing her an Albion from the forests. She had been having good luck with finding wild Natrelmon. However, Shio struggled to express excitement in her success, keeping her calm and reserved sense about her.

Shio was in the plaza to browse relics, the capture of the Albion having taken two relics from her stock, one of her D and one of her E relics had been utilized. It wasn't too big of a deal, since the Pinehearst agreement almost all trainers had yielded a rather generous stipend from the company in exchange for data about the world - it was a solid 500 N a week for doing very little, if anything at all. Shio made an effort to try to accomplish something each week to avoid feeling she was taking advantage of the company.

She was browsing the various wares of the nearby merchants. Her Kujaku was by her side, allowing her to keep close watch on those around her - in fear of potential assassination attempts. However, if it was an attempt with lasers, she would be in a very serious predicament.
