Now, storytime!
"Wow... This town is a lot smaller then the ones we've been to." Bruce looked around, only a couple buildings surrounding them. There were a few Pokemon walking around, most of them holding rather big baskets, filled with a variety of things.
"Yeah. But it's less crowded!" Wynn was right at Bruce's side. "Crowds are yicky. They just like, sit there."
"Well, all we need is some medicine, just in case one of us gets seriously hurt. We've never needed it until Ranmaru injured his paw playing tag with Style and Wynn last night." Kitalia sighed softly.
"But I'm better now!" He whined rather loudly.
"An ounce of preservation's better then a pound of cure." Aura said softly, walking in the middle of the group. Style just stood by then Minccino, holding her hand.
"Well, there's a medicine shop over there. Let's go. Aura, go take Style to the other store."
"Okay. Come on, Style."
"Okay, Aura!" He smiled, running to Aura's side as the two walked away.
The four walked into the small shop, surrounded by a variety of herbs and berries, Wynn and Kite walking around, as Bruce and Ranmaru went to the counter. "Excuse me?"
The Ninetails looked up from his work, smiling as he look at the Servine. "Hello! How may I help you?"
"Yes, we were looking for some medicine."
"For my paw, even though I don't need it." Ranmaru sighed softly.
"Well, I guessed that. What do you need? In particular, that is." The Ninetails looked at Ranmaru's paw, giving it a quick glance before returning his gaze back to Bruce.
"Just some pain killers."
Ranmaru - "But it doesn't hurt anymore!" Ranmaru whined, sighing again.
"This is for later too!" Bruce sighed softly, shaking his head.
"Painkillers? Alright then... Let me see what I have..." The fox turned around, opening a cabinet and going through it, the two hit with a wave of overpowering smells.
Meanwhile, Wynn was walking around, taking a sniff of everthing she could put her nose in, Kite making sure she didn't stick her nose in something deadly. "Why couldn't we go with Aura? I could have gotten something sweet..." She whispered to Kite.
"Because Aura only needed to grab a thing or two." She sighed rather softly, noticing them coming up on an Umbreon. He was browsing as well. "Quite the collection of herbs..." Kite spoke aloud, hoping to get the Pokemon's attention. She needed someone else other then Ms. Curious to talk to.
He don't notice the Kirlia approach right away, but he didn't jump when she spoke. "Yeah...there is quite a lot of stuff here..." He picked up one bottle using Psychic, examining the label.
"Indeed." She looked over at the Umbreon, then got a very strange feeling, one she couldn't explain, quickly looking him over. -...No. He's okay. No danger.-
He paused a moment, feeling like I heard something else. "Pardon?"
"They all smell funny..." She snorted out her nose, not liking the smell.
"What kind of painkillers would you like? Injested, contact, or injected?" He kept looking, opening a large.
"The ones you can eat." Bruce tried to get a look, seeing just a bunch of leaves and berries he didn't recognize.
"I suppose some Seaberries then..." He reached into the drawer, pulling out a small container full of a light blue sauce like substance, and a little jar or water, containing almost no air at the top, sealed well, full of very strange, light purple, glowing berries. "There we go... Now, this jar is concentrated... It will work if applied to any open wound or area without much fur, or if injested... It should only be used in small amounts… And these berries can just be eaten, for lesser pains and aches, though you need to keep them submerged or they will spoil very quickly."
"Okay. We'll take them. How much?"
"Well, it's 250 Poke."
"Awsome." I hand you 250 Poke, smiling softly.
"This one smells really funny..." She took a deep whiff of another one, immediately coughing. "C-Crap!"
"Wha- Wynn! You okay?" Kite looked down, sighting softly.
"Yeah... I felt like someone set my nose on fire..." She giggled softly, realizing the little pun she had made.
The Umbreon looked over at the Quilava. "Yeah...that's some harsh stuff."
The Ninetails took the money and handed him the little container and the jar. "Here you go!" He then looked behind the Servine to Wynn, who was holding her nose. "That was concentrated Tamato Berry powder, ma'am, I'd recommend keeping your nose out of it."
"Thanks for telling me now…" She sneezed, whimpering.
"Thanks... Erm, I never caught your name." He slid the jar in his satchel.
"I'm Dspace, though my friends call me D. You can call me D, if you want!" The Ninetails bowed his head softly.
"I'm Ranmaru!" His trademark grin crossed his face. "Ranmaru Kazimaki!"
He smiles and proffers a tail to you, offering it to him so he can shake it. "Pleasure to meet you, Ranmaru! Say, are you by any chance the son of the Kazimakis?"
A nervous chuckle left his throat, as he shook D's tail. "Yeah…"
Dspace let out a little laugh. "Hope you don't take offense, but your dad is mighty intimidating!"
More nervous chuckles came out of him. "Don't remind me…"
The Eeveelution turned his attention back to Kite. "My name's Luther, by the way."
"My name's Kitalia." Her emotionless look crossed her face yet again.
"You seem like a smartypants, like Kitty-kun." She giggled a little again. "I'm Wynn! Wynn Winterblue!"
Luther chuckled at Wynn's enthusiasm, but something was still nagging at his mind, a feeling he couldn't shake about her.
"Name's Bru-" I turn around, hearing Wynn. "Wynn! We are not mates, stop using my last name!"
"Bru, huh? Nice to meet you too! Same to you, you, and you." D turned to each of the other ones.
"It's Bruce, sorry." He turned back, an embarrassed blush on his face.
He smiled. "Good to know. Nice to meet you Bruce."
Bruce - "Anyways, it was nice to meet you two, but we gotta hit the road!" He headed for the door, Wynn and Kitalia at his sides. "Bye for now!"
He waved at him as them left, smiling at Bruce. "Alright, have a safe trip. I have heard the area around here has been more dangerous than usual recently."
"Yeah, I've had a few encounters lately." In his thoughts, he thought. -Stay safe, Kitalia.-
The four of them walked out of the store, the door closing mehind them, and out to the main road. Bruce was out in front, Wynn by his side, too close as usual, with Kitalia and Ranmaru about three or four paces back. "Alright, we've got everything now, let's get packing. Hopefully Aura was able to get everything else."
"Yeah. It should be rather easy, now that we've got good supplies." Kite commented, looking back. –That was a rather interesting experience… I hope I can see you again, Luther.-
A young Sneasel rounded the corner, sprinting and looking back over its shoulder. Too occupied by what is behind her, runs headlong into Bruce, causing the pair of them to fall. As she does, she quickly pushes herself to her feet, getting up and facing you, eyes down and paws behind her back as she speaks. "I... I'm sorry mister..." She then heads on, running off quickly, soon rounding the corner, a tiny flash of something glimmering as she ran.
"No problem, mi-" He reaches to adjust his satchel, in not even being there. "T-The hell?"
"Wait, your satchel was..." Wynn's face immedialy went into a scowl. "That Sneasel took your satchel, Bruce! We gotta find her!"
Luther, having bought what he needed, prepared to exit the store. As he did, he bumped into the group. "Hey...is something wrong you guys?"
"Yeah, that had all our money, along with my personal belongings... We have to get it back!" He turns and notices Luther. "Oh, we seem to be in a little of a pinch. A Sneasel just ran off with my satchel."
"A Sneasel?" He tried to think of any Sneasal's around. "There's one that I've seen around."
"Y-Yeah! We should split up, so that way, we'll be able to find her faster." Ranmaru spoke up, his smile gone.
"Good idea, Ranmaru. I'll head with Ki-"
"I'M WITH SENPAI!" She blurt out, giggling.
"...Or Wynn."
Wynn - "YAY! Let's go!" She took off running, Bruce running after her.
"Guess it's just us three, Luther." Ranmaru padded forward.
"I guess so..." He looked around, following the Luxio.
"Thanks for helping us, Luther. We should go check the alleyway, where the thief ran into." She started walking as well, getting in front of Ranmaru.
Ranmaru followed her now, only about two paces behind. Luther stay close as well.
She turned the corner, but immedialty stepped back, looking over the wall.
"What is it, Kite?"
"It's her. But she's with someone, and thing's aren't looking too friendly..."
"That doesn't sound good. We better go." Luther tried to move, but Kite stopped him.
"I knew I'd find you here... The guards I hire can't do shit to stop your theiving. This is where the road ends for you." The Manetric had the girl cornered, a look of rage on his face, covered in the shadow of a dumpster.
"That voice..." Ranmaru froze.
She whimpers soft, pressing her body against the wall she had her back to, hunched over and clutching the satchel she had stolen
"I reconize that bag... It's part of a set, that I gave to my son, which means you have stolen from him, as well as my stores, and makes me want to erase you even more." He readied himself to pounce, his paws jolting in eletricity.
The Sneasel shut her eyes tight as she curled up in a ball over it, whimpering audibly as her body trembles.
"Hey! Stop!" Luther ran in between the two of them.
"F-Father!" Ranmaru joined him, standing right next to him. "I know this girl stole from Bruce, but that doesn't mean you can just kill her! She's a child!"
Her eyes dart to the side, towards a small drain nearby, her body tensing slightly.
"Don't even think about moving." Kite teleported beside her, placing a hand on her head.
She whimpered loudly, still remaining still.
"W-Wait, father?" Luther's eyes darted between Ranmaru and the Manetric.
"Son? I'm going to have to ask you to move. Now." He glared at Ranmaru.
"...Y-Yes, father." He took a few paces to the side, sitting on his haunches, drooping his head.
Luther refused to move, still holding in place. "So you're Mr. Kazimaki…"
"That girl has stolen an unbelievable amount of goods. She must be punished. I ask the same of you, sir, and I ask the same respect that my son gives me out of you." He turned his glare to Luther, giving off a very intimidating aura, his eyes calm, yet his gaze feeling like daggers.
-I-I can't stand up to him still... I'm still such a wimp...- He silently thoguht to himself.
"I am quite aware of that, however, we wish to get them back without causing a scene."
"Mmmmh... This is a waste of my time. I shall take my leave. But you..." He glared at the Sneasel. "This is your last warning. I even hear that you've been even window shopping anywhere near my stores, and I will tie you up and throw you in a Mystery Dungeon personally." He now turned to his son. "I hope you remember not to speak to your father in that tone again, next time we meet. You are an adult now, you damn well better act like it. Tarnish my name, and you're as good to me as that thief, and you know that. Understand?"
"Yes, Father." He bowed, his head almost touching the ground.
"Good. Goodbye Ranmaru, Kitalia. Tell Bruce I pass along my greetings." He turned the corner, and disappeared from sight.
He waited a few seconds, before curling up and crying, sobbing rather loudly.
She tries to make a break for it in the wake of the Manetric's leaving, Kite immediatly froze her with Psychic. "Nice try." She stood in front of her, snatching the bag out of her hands. Her eyes are wide with fear, but Kite let her go. "Get lost." The nameless thief took off without a word. "Come on, Ranmaru…" Ranmaru followed, cleaning his face up rather fast.
Luther watches Kite walk away, a little surprised. "Well...that was fast..."
"Coming, Luther?" She smiled softly.
"O-Oh, of course." He joined back up with the two. That feeling was stronger then ever, as he stared at her. Not as if he had remembered her from some time in the past, but… As if he should remember her.
-Fin-
(A peek into the next chapter.)
"My name is Kitalia. I have come here to purge you of your sins."
"Now, I'm only going to ask this one more time before I do something to you that will make you beg for death. Where is your pack, and how many of you are there?"
"You'll die alone..."
"Alone in your wanderlust..."
"Alone..."
"No! NO!"
