Steph was unused to phones and the curtesy's involved with them, so she was a little confused by Freya's rejection of sharing contact info for now but didn't really press the issue. Steph just figured its what people did? She had never owned one before, and she was just...given a bunch of strangers contact information. Oh well, maybe later?

She was more interested in Freya's acceptance of a potential battle, but that too would have to be shelved for right now she was talking to the seedy-looking suspicious-ah ass looking motherfucker that was the stall owner. According to a die roll of her writers own, Steph didn't exactly seem...enthused by the stall owners response. She was still visibly dubious, only the slightest of eyebrow rises as he spoke.

Yeah nah, this guy was seedier than the bottom of a birds cage. Like he made Dr Kapoc, Arceus bless his soul, seem like a well adjusted and proper member of society, and that guy raised a Hydreigon. Also he seemed hard of hearing, as he said he didn't seem to catch everything she said? Weird, she thought she was pretty straight forward and clear in her articulation of her thoughts, but that also just sowed more suspicion in the girls mind. After all, it could just be a ploy to change the subject or ignore what she said. It was probably that, in her mind at least.

So now that he went to show her, and her gaze fell upon the mighty and powerful Pokemon he had been boasting about, advertising so loudly and proudly....and she was left with a blanker look than a Espurr. Without a change in facial expression, her head slowly tilted towards her phone as it began to list off the pokedex entry, as her gaze shifted from the scared little critter in front of her, to the rotom phone, back to the little critter, back to the phone, to Freyja, to the rotom phone, to the critter, to Dusk's matching blank look, then finally back to the stall owner.

"....Raylly?" Thats all the mostly speechless girl could utter as she pinched the brow of her nose. She had met her fair share of shady individuals and crooks in her time, all sorts of scammers and con artists she had seen on tv or read about in books, newspapers and the like. But this guy? Was he just....stupid or something? Like, he could've picked something...easy. Why try all this bullocks with this little guy? She had half a mind to just whack him, but she knew better than that. In this instance anyway.

Bruh

"....Really?"

Letting out a loud sigh, her blank look slowly changed to one of...pity. Annoyance also, but mostly pity as she stepped forward and put her hand on the mans shoulder.

"Thaht tuff huh?" Life mustn't have been kind to these man for him to have fallen to such lows, it was the only explanation. Steph couldn't feasibly reason this man to be that stupid to try and pawn this little guy off in such a manner. A slow shake of her head followed.

I pity the fool

"That tough huh?"

"Shooah whoy nawt, ill tyke ih'." In perhaps a surprising turn of events, Steph accepted what she figured was probably a scam. But better she got scammed than someone else who really needed the money right? Besides, she didn't want the poor little guy to fall into some other crooks hands if this loser couldn't sell it more legitimately. Plus it was kinda cute, if you squinted hard enough. "I'll laeh' ya off weeth a wahnin thiies toime, buh' dawnt laeh' me cahtch troyin thiies shih' aguyn ya heah?"

Steph believes in second chances, but also threats of incredible violence to encourage people to take said chance

"Sure why not, I'll take it."
"I'll let ya off with a warning this time, but don't let me catch trying this shit again ya hear?"

A threat? Nay, a promise it was. If her rarely used serious tone wasn't enough of a hint in that regard, then the look she shot him, one that would leave most people sweating like a bag of Meowths at a Boltund meet, as she took the whimpods ball and went to pay the man...however it is one paid with the phone would certainly help strike the fear of Arceus into the poor man. She actually didn't know how to pay though, as she hadn't paid all that much attention in the lab, if it was even covered then. She didn't know either way. She was busy introducing herself to everyone after all.

So she might have to ask Freya, otherwise with that business out of the way and hopefully the man left packing his bags and going off to a more honest and hardworking life, as unlikely as it was, Steph was just left shaking her head as she turned to Freya again.

"Thaht was just sahd innih'? couldve at layst hahd somethin moah intoimiduytin, loike a....anythin else." Still shaking her head as she spoke, she supposed since she had three pokemon now she could go to that trainer school? Maybe catch a Machop on the way. "Hy do ya knaow wheah the uh triner school is? Nawt raylly frawm round heah, and ya side yah weah a locul sao Oy figured yah would probahbly knaow some good duyahctions t' geh' theah haeh. Oy heahd somethin abeow' a Pokemon egg yah cahn geh' faw baytin the people theah, buh' ya nayded thray pokemawn t' entah. Oy gawt thray naow, sao figured whoy nawt roigh'?"

Zoro sense of direction

"That was just sad innit? Could've at least had something more intimidating, like a....anything else."
"Hey do ya know where the uh trainer school is? Not really from round here, and ya said you were a local so I figured you would probably know some good directions to get there heh. I heard something about a Pokemon egg you can get for beating the people there, but ya needed three pokemon to enter. I got three now, so figured why not right?"

Whether she got directions or Freya offered to guide her there herself, Steph wasn't too fussed on either. She wasn't familiar with Grand Glory all that much, mostly just from the tourist maps and whatnot and even then Steph wasn't great at navigating big cities like this without a little bit of help. Of course, she would have to stop off at a PokeCenter first before she challenged the trainer school, to heal Steven if nothing else, but also probably to heal the Machop she would catch when she passed where she saw them earlier.

But first, there was something that was a bit more pressing that only really to came to mind now as she remembered it.

"Buh' befoah Oy do, Oy wahnna say whahts gaowin on ovah theah." Pointing out where the people were circling where the fight was breaking out, unless that turned out to be boring in which case Steph would just go check out the fishing store, thats where her interest was currently pointing her towards. After all, Pokemon battles was what got her into wanting to be a trainer in the first place. Of course a fight would get her attention! Unless it was an unimportant event and more a flavour text event happening in the background, then she would rather poke her head into the fishing store as previously mentioned.

Battles go brrrrr

"But before I do, I wanna see whats going on over there."

Taking Dusk back onto her shoulder, she was in the middle of giving the sentient candle some chin scritches when Freyja responded that she was indeed both a local and a trainer. The latter realisation seemed to make her perk up for a moment, a thoughtful eye glancing over the taller girl as she sized her up. Sadly it was difficult to tell from the trainer themselves for the most part how tough a battle they might bring, but she sensed something that seemed to satisfy whatever curiousity she had and withdrew the hand that seemed to be ignored.

She wasn't sure what it was about this city, but people seemed to ignore gestures? Eh whatever, no skin off her nose and wouldn't stop her from continuing to offer them later.

"Waell plezshah t' mayt ya Freya, laets geh' gaowin thaen eh?" As Freya agreed to go with her to check the dodgy stall owner out, before they would walk over there Steph would continue. "Alsao wahnna uh...exchuynge cawntahct infao aw somethin? Wouldnt moind hahvin a bahttle at one point, yah saym tuff enough. just wahnna geh' a couple moah Pokemon befoah Oy gao bahttle someone, only caught one myself. Yah cahtch many yaeh'?"

The Psychic damage is real

"Well pleasure to meet ya Freya, let's get going then eh?"
"Also wanna uh...exchange contact info or something? Wouldn't mind having a battle at one point, you seem tough enough. Just wanna get a couple more Pokemon before I go battle someone, only caught one myself. You catch many yet?"

With that little small talk to be dealt with as they made their way over, Steph would listen to the man as he made his pitch again;

"Folks do I have a deal for you! I have in my possession a rare and super powerful Pokemon that I am generous parting for a mere 500 dollars! It's a deal of a lifetime!"

With a dubious look about her, Steph would approach arms folded over her chest as she sized up the sleazy man. She didn't seem impressed, to say the least.

"Sao whaht koind of hohgwahsh bullshih' ahh yah troyin t' pull mite? iIve sayn Trubbish spew laess rubbeesh thahn ya. Thiies even laegul?" It probably was, but she didn't seem to think it should be. Peddling Pokemon on the side of the street at suspiciously low prices? Where did he even get these Pokemon from? Even if it was legal, it wasn't in her mind. As someone who grew up on a farm, she knew a few folks who sold em but this was a vastly different circumstance. Who knew what conditions these poor little guys were kept in after all! Regardless, she stayed her tongue because she didn't want to assume anything just yet, just that the first impression wasn't exactly a good one here.

X to doubt

"So what kind of hogwash bullshit are you trying to pull mate? I've seen Trubbish spew less rubbish than ya. This even legal?"

"You gawnna shaow us thiies 'Raeh and Supah Paowerful Pokemon' aw we just maynt t' believe ya aw somethin?"

Pics or lying

"You gonna show us this 'Rare and Super Powerful Pokemon' or we just meant to believe ya or something?"

@Xaltwind
Shockwave is the move you’re thinking of, not Thundershock. Otherwise you can try and blow them up/counter with your own move. I don’t think the ‘never miss’ moves are that anymore, as the idea is to try and be creative. They’re probably just harder to avoid still regardless

Either that or I’m talking out of my ass and Remy will correct me, I could be wrong.
