The moon hung high in the sky showering the mountain in pale light. Vulpix laid on top of her rock her chin resting on her furry paws, heavy bags could be since under her eyes as she glanced into the dancing flames.
Shuppet approached her, a small smile playing on his lips. "Hey, Vulpix!" he greeted.
Vulpix jump slightly, her head snapped in his direction before sighing slightly. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?" she asked quickly before looking back at her fire.
"It's Saturday." He stated.
"Yes, I am aware." She stated, starting to become annoyed with the ghost type.
"I'm going to the market in the morning, do you want to come?" He asked, a wide smile appearing on his real face.
the fox Pokemon closed her eyes, carefully thinking over her decision. she opened her eyes before saying: "Maybe, what are you getting?"
He's smile grow wider as he replied: "I'm going to get poke puffs for everyone."
Vulpix smiled slightly. "I'll go, but only to see Mudkip. Get me an orange one."
Shuppet nodded hurriedly "Of course!"
-
The sun was just starting to peek over the horizon, coloring the skies in shades of orange and red. Vulpix's eyes slowly fluttered open, as she yawned quietly.
"Good morning!" Shuppet chirped.
Vulpix yelped jumping to her feet she looked around frantically looking for the source of the noise. She growled as her eyes landed on a laughing Shuppet. "Not funny, Shuppet. You really scared me." she jumped off her rocked and landed in front of the ghost type.
Shuppet stopped laughing and looked up at the fox. "I did? Sorry about that." He apologized sincerely.
She sighed closing her eyes tightly. "Whatever. what time is it?"
"Around six."
"Okay, let's go."
Shuppet nodded. "I've already got your bag ready."
Vulpix blinked a few times, before taking dark red bag full of barriers. "Thanks. I guess..." She said awkwardly.
"No problem."
-
Several multi-colored stands inside of a ring of large borders. Vulpix scaled one of the smaller rocks, as Shuppet floated closely behind her. She reached the top and jumped off landing on her feet, and turned around to look at the ghost type. "Let's meet back here in an hour." Shuppet nodded before quickly floating off to a white and pink stand.
Vulpix was about to walk off in the other direction before an excited, high-pitched yell stopped her. "Vulpix!" A small Mudkip ran up to the older fox and hugged her leg.
The fire type chuckled slightly. "Good morning Mudkip. How are you?"
The young water type released her leg from his grip, and smiled up at her. "I'm good, how are you?"
"I'm good. Does your mom what any help running her stand?'
Mudkip thought for a second. "She did say she wanted to take a bit of a break."
"Alright, let's go." She said as she started approaching the black and purple stand. "Oh, hello Vulpix!" A middle-aged Meditite greeted. "How are you today.
"I'm good Ms. Meditite, how are you?" She asked cheerfully.
"I'm a bit tired, would you mind looking after the stand for about half an hour, while i take a nap?"
"Of course I don't mind at all."
"Wonderful thank you so much."
"It's no problem, really." Meditite walked out of the stand and back home to take a short nap.
Vulpix sat behind the counter waiting patiently for customers to arrive. Mudkip sat on the wooden counter watching the sunrise in awe. Vulpix laughed slightly at the excitable child. She quickly snapped her head forward as she heard footsteps approaching the stand. a Flareon walked up the stand holding a small pouch in her mouth. He placed it down before speaking: "Hey, I've heard you have Power Bands here, can i buy one?"
Vulpix nodded her head. "Of course, here you go." she said sliding over a yellow band to the fire type. "That will be fifteen berries.
Flareon picked up the black pouch, and spilled all the berries on the counter. Vulpix scan over the berries quickly; exactly fifteen. Vulpix placed the berries into the jar, and waved goodbye to the eeveelution as he left.
Vulpix and Mudkip were munching on some oran berries as Meditite returned. "How did it go?" she asked.
"Pretty uneventful, we sold two Power Bands, and a Power Bracer, and fifty berries." She told her sliding the jar of berries over to her.
"keep them, dear."
Vulpix shook her head. "No, i couldn't."
"Well dear, how about you come have dinner at our house tonight as thanks for everything you've done for us?"
Vulpix nodded, that would be great Ms. Meditite, thank you so much.
Meditite was about to reply when Shuppet floated up to the stand. "ything i needed Hey Vulpix, I got everything i needed. Let's go."
"I'll come by at eight." she said waving goodbye to the duo.

"Alright everybody eat up!" Shuppet announced as he opened his bag, revealing Three green Poke Puffs and two orange ones. the five Pokemon that inhabited the corner of the mountain sat in a circle as Shuppet handed out the threats.
"How much did these cost?" Elgyem asked, before taking the her first bite of the green treat.
"Forty berries each." he said between bits.
Elgyem almost drop her food as her eyes grew wide. "You spent two hundred berries on five Poke Puffs?"
"Yeah."
"That's about half our berries!" She yelled, then turned to the orange fox who was peacefully eating her Poke Puff. "How could you let him spent so much berries?"
"How was i supposed to know?"
The psychic type didn't reply only groaned and finish her treat in silence. Once she was done she sat up and announced: "We're going to Petalburg." She stated looking at Shuppet who had just finished his cake.
"Why me?"
"Because you're the one spent two hundred berries on Poke Puffs." She said getting their bags, before dragging a very annoyed looking Shuppet inside the mountain
