As the Buizel kept her head low, she had been looking around.  Not just for potential predators, but at all the shops around her.  Mermes could see Pokemon interacting and laughing, or just walking around like her.  But what interested her was the exchange going on between shops, and she could see demand for some items Mermes actually had on hand.

While she had been glancing at the activity going on, she had heard a voice that was right in front of her.
[color=0076a3]"I'm sorry, I almost didn't see you there. You might want to make yourself a bit more seen, or you might get trampled out here."[/color]
[color=98ff98]"O-oh, I didn't mean to get in your way.  I was just, um, l-looking around,"[/color] Mermes had apologized, unconsciously shrinking even more while looking away slightly.  Mermes didn't make eye contact out of extreme nervousness, so she didn't see what species the unknown Pokemon was.  The green-eyed Buizel jumped a metaphorical two feet in the air when a heavy Pokemon walked next to her.
