Basically, your every PokeMart in any town or city that had one. Which was nice. She could appreciate the consistency in such things. After all, it was [i]way[/i] better than going to some outdoor flea market and trying to buy anything from shady rando's who claimed they were selling [i]top-notch[/i] medicine made from [i]all organic[/i] materials. Was anyone actually dumb enough to believe that sort of crap? No, if you wanted [i]real[/i] quality goods, you came to a [i]real[/i] quality store. Like this one. As the girl unconsciously hummed along with the tune and walked around with her colorful shopping basket, her steps paused as she saw a big, bright poster on one of the walls. [color=gold]"Hm? A free potion with your first purchase? Well, how can I refuse something like that?"[/color] An amused smile crept across her face, though she probably wasn't aware of it herself. Still, before thinking about the prospect of freebies, there was the issue of [i]what[/i] she was actually going to buy. Being out on the road, chances are that the girl might run into a situation where a Pokemon Center was just too far away to reach in a hurry. Or, she could end up somewhere and not know the way, but be in an emergency and need to attend to any har m or injuries her pokemon may have sustained right there and then. However! Her budget was also limited, and spending money on things that wouldn't necessarily be strictly [i]needed[/i] was a good way to end up with [i]no[/i] travelling funds right quick. Thus, she had to plan... Meticulously... Carefully... [i]Alright... We'll be outdoors, in the wilderness. We'll likely run into things that can poison or paralyze, and carrying some exra potions with me would be a good idea, just in case... Burn and ICe heals... Hm... I don't think either of those things'll be too common around these parts, and an Awakening is just throwing money away. A rope...? Oh, it's one of those that you tie outside a cave or whatever to guide you back out... Do I [b]really[/b] plan to go into a dark, dank cave with who-knows-what inside? ... Then again, you never know what the weather will be like, or what you'll run into out there... It... Could be a nice safety measure, just in case...[/i] As she pondered her options, the blonde girl did grab some things though. Walking through the aisles, she grabbed three of one sort and three others of something else. Then two of a third choice, then paused. Shaking her head, she steeled her gaze and wandered over to the cash register, plopping the basket down and taking out her intended purchases one by one for the clerk to ring up. All in all, Evelyn bought: - 3x Antidotes (-300p) - 3x Paralyze Heals (-600p) - 2x Potions (-600p) [b]Total Payment: -1500p[/b] Great! Now she had something for each of her 'mons if something happened. But, before she left the register, she rummaged around in her bag for a bit, before producing her [b]Trainer ID[/b] and showed it to the employee. [color=gold]"As you can see, I'm a fresh-faced, burgeoning trainer just starting out. Soooo... I get a free potion with my purchase, yes~?"[/color] The staff member grabbed the card, gave it a look-over and then handed it back. Nodding and stating with a robotic, unenthused voice that that was indeed the case, they reached underneath the counter and produced a free, no-cost, totally no strings attached potion! Plucking the little bottle up with a ginger nab, Evelyn thanked the shopkeep, stuffed the items she'd just bought into her little bag, and then proceeded to exit the PokéMart, content and pleased with her little shopping-spree. After all, she was now [b][i]finally[/i][/b] ready to actually get started! Started on her very own journey. She hadn't spent lon here in Grand Glory City, but for the most part it had been a pleasant experience. It wasn't quite Evertide, but it was modern and enjoyable enough. Walking the bustling, busy streets, the young trainer picked up her Rotom phone and gave it a look-through. Ah, yes, there was a map-App, good. So, she had two options? Well... Going north was not really an option, not this time of year and not with what she was wearing. Winter probably still had a bit of a hold on that part of the region and she didn't want to risk anything. So, south along Route 4 it was! [color=gold]"Alright you guys, we're off."[/color] She said... To her pokemon partners. Who were all snug inside their respective pokeballs for now. [b][u]Evelyn is leaving Grand Glory City and beginning her journey down Route 4.[/u][/b]
