Flint yawned slightly and waved as the Gym leader departed, ready to get on with their shopping. He stopped and waited patiently however as a new girl appeared wanting to join them. He was starting to fear that he would be the only male on this trip save for some of the Pokemon. This disconcerted him and he prayed silently that more guys would join up with them later.
Maya nodded at the Ninetails and opened her mouth to reply when she saw their trainers start moving again " oh, looks like we should go, but it was a pleasure speaking with you nine, i hope we can meet again" she said and gave a little wave before bounding off towards the humans, motioning for Tenka to do the same.

Reis looked up and saw a red headed man a bit off in the distance. She breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God. It wasn't that she didn't like females, but it was so hard to deal with her gender, so many landmines! Living in the home for as long as she had, Reis simply found males far easier to get along with.
Reis called out to him. "Hey! Your name is Flint, right?" Jeanne leapt into Reis' hood as she made her way to the male trainer. "It's really none of my business, but why are you on this expedition? I mean, everyone has their reasons, but I do like to know things about people." At this, she fished around in her pockets, found a chocolate coated biscuit stick, and offered it to him. "Pocky?"

"" Tenka echoed Maya and bounded after the other Emolga. Y'know, maybe this whole trainer thing wasn't too bad a deal, he had met Maya after all...

Cetus turned her head. Another member to the caravan huh-
Oh gosh, no.
It was that gal who teamed up with them in the mansion mirage brought to reality by a depressed Jirachi. Was today a day is recollection? She was tired of the past!
"Oh, hello there!" Claramay called and gave the girl a warm smile. "Are you a new member to the group? It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Mrs. Claramay Pearls. Please call me Mrs. Pearls."
Algenubi lowered his head and poked his beak to the side of her ear. Reflex caused her to bring her hand up and stroke the bottom of his chin. Though incredibly relaxing, he knew it was an sign of extreme discomfiture.
"She's annoyed . . . " he thought, glancing down.

Flint blinked in slight surprise when the newest girl suddenly came over and spoke to him. He nodded smiling a bit " yeah that's right, your Reis yeah?" he asked then listened to her question " well a couple reasons actually, Ive been wanting to explore Zatao and after all the craziness recently i need something enjoyable and this seems like a perfect opportunity for both. He smiled and accepted the Pocky, thanking her.

Shina saw the large sign for the Pokemart and smiled. "Alright, everyone. Grab what you need. We're going to be out in the wilderness for a while, so don't underestimate and buy just what you'll need for next week." Shina headed straight for the Full Restores. Potion and antidote/burn heal/paralyze heal, all rolled into one.
Rasha waited outside, amused as ever that her human never seemed to remember to recall her. Tenka meandered up as well, but kept a distance from the fire horse. He was only following because of Maya. She seemed to like her trainer, so he shouldn't be too antagonistic towards his own, he supposed.

Alenubi stopped outside the Pokemart, much to large to even consider a walk inside. Nevertheless, he readied his wings with a wide stretch in case his owner was caught snatching up things. She was always one of a cheap heart. Having a lot of cash was her idea of power . . . a terrible product of her avarice of the past.
With disguises and acting came a swift hand. Though she was essentially going to pay for the majorly expensive stuff, lackluster items that were useful but of a lesser quantity and cheaper price were pocketed with a swift hand. It was almost reflexive; Cetus has stolen enough items in her life to be secretive. She only gathered up a few Super Potions and Full Heals at the counter while her leather satchel seemed to overflow with the weight of pocketed Potions and Oran packs.
She paid quickly (almost tossing her money at the opposing cashier), gave a warm smile to slash away any idea of suspicion, and tumbled out the first customer of the caravan. Algenubi gave her a thin stare and she only chuckled under her breath.
"What? You don't have to fly away this time." she murmured and gave him another scratch under the beak, lulling into an almost daymare. She was still bothered -- the scratch beneath the chin brought on from her nervousness of being caught.

Flint followed the group into the poke mart, choosing the things he thought he would need, some full restores, potions, and some status healing items such as antidotes and paralyze heal. throwing a few last assorted items into his haul he walked to the front desk and checked out quickly. Once free of the cashier he pulled his bag off his back and carefully placed all his purchases in it. When that was done he stepped out the door and stood next to Rush who had been following them casually.
Maya followed them till they reached the poke-mart and stopped outside, not really wanting to go in.

Shina finished paying for her purchases, and tucked a single Full Restore into her backpack for emergency use. The rest of her haul, including a few very pricey Revives, got put in a separate bag that got stuffed into an item ball. She might not have to worry about money too terribly much, but space was a premium. Walking out of the 'mart, she looked at her group. "Okay, camping supply store next," she declared.

Reis smiled to Flint as he accepted the pocky. A voice called out to her from behind, and Reis turned to see a woman smiling at her. Reis recognized her to be the woman who was yelling at the Emolga earlier. She seemed... nicer. Reis frowned. She was used to people lying - it's what people do. But it wasn't as much lying that this woman was doing, but something else. Reis was unsure of what.
Reis smiled back. It was best to simply let things run their course. She began to approach the woman, then stopped. Why did she seem so familiar?! More images flooded into her head. A snowstorm. A counter top. A tunnel...? A voice shouted NO! You mustn't remember! YOU CAN'T REMEMBER!. Shocked, Reis looked around, but everyone was simply milling about, and Jeanne looked worriedly at her. My imagination? It said I 'mustn't remember'.... what...? What am I not supposed to remember??
Before she could think more about this, another voice rang out, Shina's voice. Apparently it was time to pick up supplies. All well and good, Reis was getting low on Pocky - she only had 7 more boxes!
As everyone else shopped for medicines, Reis made her way to the snack aisle and scooped up the entire selection of pocky - 33 boxes in total. That would last a couple of weeks. Singing to herself, Reis walked over to the now mostly-emptied medicine aisle and grabbed some potions and full heals, a couple revives, and a full restore in case of.
Once she had paid for the goods, Reis dropped them haphazardly into the messenger bag at her side. Hearing the declaration given by Shina of their nest destination, Reis joined back up with the group.

Natalie entered the pokemart with Dusty sitting on top of her head. She quickly picked up a few bottles max potions, a revive, 5 bottles of super potions, and a few bottles of full restore. She carried the items to the counter and paid for them, then placed them all in her satchel. By then, Dusty the Emolga was sleeping when she exited the store.

Cetus shot Reis a quick, affectionate filled smiled than quickly turned herself away and quirked a brow. Algenubi just fluffed up. Those two were just birds of the same feather.
"Shina, how much longer do you think we have?" Claramary inquired suddenly, with a bit of hushed impatience. "I'm quite eager to get this trip on the road, hehe."
In actuality, she wanted to track down that so-called, 'Mewtwo'. What did it look like anyway? Since that museum fiasco, she was only acquainted with the looks of a Mew. It was also blue. Was this 'Mewtwo' also blue? Maybe it was white with a pink tail. At this thought, Cetus mentally laughed. Impossible.

"Hm, I was thinking of getting all of our shopping done today, and leaving bright and early tomorrow morning. I think we could all use a good night's sleep somewhere the world isn't out to get us, especially those who were in the museum," Shina said. She had planned on waiting an extra day or two in town to collect people to travel with, but with the reporters and such, thought it might be best to get out of town sooner. She would leave today, but she knew they wouldn't get very far, and she did want a good night's sleep in real bed before she went back on the road. She'd leave a copy of the planned route with Nurse Joy, and any trainers that wanted to join could follow behind them and catch up. One person alone did tend to travel faster than a group, after all.

Flint nodded in agreement with Shina's plan " that's a good plan, id like a chance to sleep somewhere comfortable, at least for tonight" he said leaning against the outside wall of the poke mart.

Meanwhile, at the local camping supply store...
Taka, a rust coated Arcanine filled the isle. Nothing was disturbed... yet. He seemed quite uninterested in moving any time soon. A clerk tries to get it's trainer, Kohl's attention.
"Ma'am, you cannot bring your Pokemon into this store."
"Hmm...Is this kettle rated for 3000 degrees?"
"-Ma'am-"
"1500 is too much. I'll give you-"
"E-excuse me-"
"-350 and 3 pounds of dried -"
"If you don't-!"
The clerk fumed as the woman scaled her arcanine to inspect a set of cookware on a high shelf. "b***h, either recall your dog or get outta the store!"
Beat.
Kohl stops half way over Taka, one hand crushing his dark mane into his now less than content face, her boot planted on his shoulder. Not really offended - some of her best friends were dogs, after all, but she can help but hackle a little at the jab. She and stares at the man just long enough to she him start to sweat, then smiles. "Taka, you heard him, out or it's the ball for you." As an afterthought "-and don't eat anyone while I'm not looking."
The hiker turns back with the same grin as before, dropping down. Unfastening a saddlebag as Taka backs out with a bitter grumble, she slings it over over shoulder and closes the distance between them to stand too near the man, leaning in. Softly, "Now, do you take barter, or not? I'll make it worth your while."
The zip of nylon sounds as a blue electrike darts from somewhere in the store out of sight, brushes past the preoccupied pair, and out the doors.
