[center][color=gray][h3]Leisy Takigawa[/h3][/color]— Zephyr Strip —[/center]
[color=gray]“Dropping by the Pokemart is a good idea,”[/color] Leisy said, her eyes staying on Florence as the other girl’s gaze drifted down. 

[i]Should I ask her whether or not she’s okay?[/i] Leisy wondered, hesitating. While Ella was still her bright and cheerful self, Florence had clearly changed—something that Leisy knew she shouldn’t be surprised about, considering Florence’s circumstances. A wave of guilt rose up in Leisy’s mind, guilt from abandoning her friends to visit home despite the dire circumstances surrounding Florence’s Pokemon. Her choice was made purely out of selfishness, her need for a breath of fresh air—of something else—after the events in Greenhaven. 

[color=gray]“Let’s go then,”[/color] Leisy said, starting off in the direction of the still-bustling hubbub of a shopping center. [color=gray]“The sooner we’re out, the sooner we can get to finding the people behind the kidnappings.”[/color]

[i]We’ll definitely find Vernie, Florence,[/i] Leisy thought as she started off for the town at a brisk pace. [i]I’ll make sure we do.[/i]

The main strip only became brighter and busier as night sank over Zephyr. Tourists arrived in hordes at the train stations arranged strategically around the shopping center, drawn to the brightly-lit windows like moths to a flame. The stars were hardly visible above amidst the lights, but iconic logo of the Poke Corp Pokemart was easy to pick out amongst the shops.

The inside of the mart was pleasantly airy and almost exactly alike every other Pokemart Leisy had visited. Items were arranged by type down the rows, not a single one out of place.

[color=gray]“Could I get one Moon Ball?”[/color] Leisy said, handing the Pokemart worker her Pokedex. The Pokeball’s description promised to help the Pokemon it caught gain levels more quickly—exactly what Leisy needed if she was to take down the people who kidnapped Vernie. 

[color=gray]“The report said the kidnappings happened around the outskirts of Zephyr, where there aren’t that many shops nor tourists. Maybe that’s where we should look first?”[/color] Leisy asked as she pocketed the Moon Ball.
