Hey guys! Back again with a mini chapter! And it's... basically for an actual reason this time.

Back in the last chapter, I bet you remember I put an author's note in the middle of the story saying that I was originally gonna add a scene in the Stone Shop, but it got scrapped due to my anger. :/

This chapter... is gonna show that scene. Then, I'll work on the next part of the arc, including a long-awaited battle between Nifty and Sonic!

But here's the Stone Shop scene. Enjoy! :D

I opened the door to the Stone Shop. But geez, like almost every other building in this large city, it's bigger on the inside. Seriously.

We were met with some white walls, with the bottom part of it being blue. And as for the parts that do matter...

A white tiled floor with gray paths, and there were large display cases which had stuff like evolutionary stones, and... Mega Stones. Most of the cases were surrounded by the classic red rope.

"Whoa, bzzt! Thizzz is such an amazing building!" Rotom complimented.

"It is amazing, ain't it?" I said with a shrug. I won't lie, the view of this building is certainly inspiring.

"I wonder they might have here." Sonic wondered. So we took this time now to explore what kind of priceless objects they have in this shop.

Eh, either way, we were looking at the display cases first of all. And there were also other sections that held other things. Most of the things I saw were gems.

And no, they weren't plastic nor fake. Those are real gems.

Then there was also evolutionary stones. Fire Stone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, etc. Phew, perfect for anyone looking to evolve their Pokémon!

You know, for those that need a stone to evolve.

And, the most awesome part about the whole shop is, of course, the Mega Stones. Now, I did study Mega Evolution back in school. But I can't remember all of them off the top of my head.

Suddenly... one of the Mega Stones caught my eye.

Through more displaying, I saw a stone that was... orange. And that swirly thing in the middle was... red.

I reach into my bag, and pull out that stone that I got. It was exactly like the one in the case.

Holy Arceus.

With curiosity overwhelming me, I walk to one of the front desks, where a woman looked at me and smiled.

"Excuse me, ma'am," I said respectfully, "I found that this stone I have looks exactly like the one I saw being displayed in the case. Do you know what this is?"

"Yes I do, sir. That's a Charizardite Y. If you have access to Mega Evolution through a Key Stone, you can Mega Evolve your Charizard as long as it holds that stone." The woman replied. I gasped at that.

This... is a great chance! When I get a Key Stone, I can finally try out Mega Evolution! And Charizard is gonna be the one helping me!

The others walked up to me after the explanation was done.

I looked at Sonic and tilted my head slightly, smirking. Sonic nodded, as he knew what I was telling him.

"And what about this one?" Sonic shows the lady his stone that he obtained.

"A Charizardite X. Both Mega Evolutions are different, and it's best to know which one suits you best." She stated. All of us had huge smiles on our faces.

"This is AMAZING! You two are gonna have Mega Evolution with you one day!" Jake screeched excitedly.

"You'll be able to counter opponents easier that way with that. I bet even against... that duo." Tess stated, emphasizing her sentence to not cause suspicion.

"Now, that... I can accept." I said with a smirk.

"Yes, indeed." Sonic responded, "But our shopping spree isn't over just yet. Let's go."

We all left. I decided to once again be the door opener.

But... even though the door isn't locked, it didn't open.

"What the hell? Why is it not opening?" I exclaimed.

"Try the handle, Nifty." Tess said. What the FRICK is she talking about? I did try the handle!

"Nifty... I mean the handle below." Tess groaned. There was a black handle below the knob.

Gosh darn it...

Still didn't open after I tried that. I slapped my knee in annoyance.

"Yeah, that's easier said than done, Tess." I mocked.

"Adjusting it! That's all it is." Tess exclaimed.

"No, nothing pisses me off without getting away." I scoffed.

"Nifty, can you please be more open with what I'm trying to tell you?" Tess asked.

"How about you be more open in shutting the f**k up?" I retorted. Tess gasped at that. She looked offended from my roast.

Sonic and Jake seemed uncomfortable, and Rotom was... in my opinion, recording this. I guess.

I smirked.

"See, there's always another plan I keep in mind." I started. I pulled out the Ultra Ball from my pocket, and sent out Doublade.

"When one way doesn't open, you force it." I continued. I pointed at the door. Doublade makes a metallic ghostly sound as it gets angry. Then...

SLASH!

Doublade cuts the door open.

"Make a way for the bada**!" I laughed, enjoying my little rebel. I turned back to the rest. Rotom stared, and Sonic and Jake were downright confused.

But Tess was pissed. Her hands clenched into fists, and she grits her teeth, showing how angry she was.

"F**k you." She snapped.

"I get that a lot." I replied, shrugging my shoulders.

"*ahem* Sir," I heard the front desk woman's voice as she approached me, "You need to pay for-"

"Take my Robux. It'll help you out." I interrupted her, giving her some Robux. She was surprised, but thanked me either way.

"So... what now?" Sonic asked.

"Let's take a break by that bench over there, at the corner." I suggested, pointing at said bench.

"If you say so, Nifty." Rotom said. And we all walked (Rotom floated) to where the bench is at.

A/N: Aight, that's all. Yeah, the door break part wouldn't be added originally, but I put it in for two reasons:

One, life. Two, I wanted to make another scene like "Music, Brah". If you didn't know yet, Nifty and Tess are "frenemies." They're still friends, but because Nifty almost never takes Tess's suggestions, it gets her ANGERY.

So that's pretty much why those two are frenemies.

But that's all I got! See you next time, everyone! Have a great day! :)
