No Moon Stones available for sale. They have Leaf Stone, Fire Stone, Water Stone, Thunder Stone, and shards of the same.Â
Pokemon Toys bleeds right into the Training Aids section. They are adjacent floors connected by many stairs and escalators. Training Aids sells items such as the Macho Brace, which reduces the amount of XP needed for a +Strength/-Speed surprise. They have items for Training Sessions: For example, if you wanted a training session improvement for Nidoking, they have a Training Horn for $600 that can be used on any Pokemon with a horn. Other Pokemon can buy Training Fins, Training Claws, and even Training Tracks for Tracton or Porygon.
Electronics is like an appliance store: TVs, microwaves, etc. But they also have a small Mallorn's Canteen selling Pokedexes at $1300. The other awesome thing they have is a TM rack! TMs start at $3000, so come back when you have more money!Â
The crafting supplies room is big big big! And it includes tables and tools you can use in-store, sort of like a mini Scrapyard. They have some Pokemon sheds (antlers, feathers, wings) and plants imported from the Safari Zone, like Safari Mahogany, one of the prettiest woods in Creshire. They have bitter herbs available that a clever person can mix into Potions for 75% the cost (requires Craft 2).
"How much cost that Experience Share here?" Also, Heart was interesting in buying one of that training items, but the Training Claws ones. That would help a lot with Koa training and the others.

Tail between legs, brain throbbing in fear. All the Pokemon here have been well briefed on their role, and none of them move to attack.
A Tense Moment:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1po1hbAwALc
Nathan immediately turns his attention back to Orthros, trying to calm him down...
...though it's not very successful.
He turns back to Ventus.
"There. Happy now? He's terrified of you, and his first reaction is to hide behind me instead of running off on his own or returning to the Dream World. I think that says a lot, don't you?"
"Experience Share is $1200." It doesn't increase the amount of experience gained, but it lets you move most of the XP from a battle to a Pokemon who isn't involved.
Shiva spent waaaay too much time at both the Breeding Items Floor and the Crafting Ingredients Floor, so lets hope there's still time to visit the local Extension of Telperion University to inform herself about the offered courses of study and catch up a student for a friendly 4vs4 battle! (Details follow) Better using any free time today since work at the Shelter will keep her busy from tomorrow on. Yet she doesn't think too much about the upcoming talk with Nathan later at the GPC...
Of course she'll end up thankfully accepting one of the badges to show off she owns a Breeder's Lisence and pins it on her clothes right away to wear it for the rest of the day, but she prefers to keep the actual Lisence close to her Trainer's Lisence. Those variants of Destiny Knots also catch her interest GREATLY... So the rumors where true... Wonder whether they ever had that one enabling Legendaries to breed on sale as well on one day? Or whether it's something like Holy Grail of Pokemon Breeding?
Shiva never heard of a Pokemon called 'Baashaun', but she's rather stunned about that black wool. Bringing four cans/packages of their special Gourmet Food (Total: 200$) and crafted lavender soap in the shape of a marple leaf to the Counter (0$? I just like the scent...), she decides to carefully ask the vendor about it. "Uhm... Hi. I'll take these five items, please... Also, that black wool... Do forgive me, but I don't know about a Pokemon called 'Bashaaun'. Is it something originating from Tandor? Can this species be found here in Chreshire?"
Passing on the Training Kong although it seemd rather awesome, but there are more important things to spend the money on... Like an Energy Powder for the crafting of a Potion!~ (125$ + 25$ for one sweetener. None of her Pokemon is bulky enough to really require a Super Potion, Tropius can heal himself with Synthesis). How neat that they already offer tables and everything to use bought items in-store. Getting to it right away then...
(Already have 2 points in Crafting. This will probably be the next thing to level-up, before we'll collect for a third point in Strength... Azurill is at -1 Pain with her 3/5 HP. I assume she can still use Helping Hand to aid her Master in whatever she is doing here? ^^)
Once that has been done, moving on to the bookstore! She's enjoying and soaking up the smell of old pages... Until it gets too much and gives her a cold shiver. Or it's just the dust dwelling here... Anyway, curiously yet carefully looking through the shelves, she looks out for anything that may contain Myths about Chresire (Nothing historically) and anything about herbs found in the region, but only to gather information. She likely won't end up buying anything unless it really catches her.
"Baashaun? Yes, they can be found in the Safari Zone and a few places in the plains of Creshire where they've escaped into the wild. They're a fighting sheep, like an aggressive Mareep, I think. They have to be shipped from Tandor, including most of our wool, since Creshire doesn't produce enough."
Helping Hand can be used, but it doesn't grant what I might call "Proficiency." It will make your roll better, but it won't give you the requisite 2 points in Craft if you didn't already have them.
"Myths of the Southern Stars" by Torch Singh, a postgrad at Telperion!
A passage catches Shiva's eye, since she's skipping all the history bits. It details the myths of the indigenous culture living in the Hog Potato swamp, the same culture who wrote Shiva's music book.
"I came to the campfire of the chiefs, and there amidst the smoke and swamp, I bore witness to this ritual descant:"
"How different are the gods of Earth and Sky! Two above and one below, yet Earth is the greater. How different are the gods of Earth and Sky! Yet the Sky predicts the Earth. The stars of desert, mountain, sea, and plains reflect the distant ends of Creshire like a mirrored pool of water."
"Our own corner, one of swamp and sea, has no reflection in this vast pool of the sky, for the skies are ours to command. With our music, our instruments, we summon the South Wind incarnate, and she flies us northward. Then tears fill our eyes, for the South Wind cannot carry us home again."
"The ends of the earth, hosting South Wind and mighty legends, swamp and mountain. Let your voices be heard from one to the other, letting all be roused."
"This speech awed me, and I made sure to note its every particular. It is the one of the few times the indigenous people of the Swamp made mention of the stars. Many of Creshire's stars are unique, being visible only from the Southern Hemisphere. To find a unique legend within those unique stars is a rare chance indeed."

Damn. Why the good things is always so much expensive. "Thanks the information." Heart then decide to buy a Training Claws (this can help Nidorino too since he have Claws right?). After buy a few items, Heart decided to wander a while in that city. Viktor was in his shoulder and Heart have a thinking face.
"Man, its been just a few days, but I already meet and see many things in this Region. The scared Absol, that Vines, the Tangrowth...so much happened."
Then Heart couldnt avoid and look in the direction of the Skull Ruins. "Why did I decided to join with them? What I trying to acomplished? Even Nathan notice that."
Viktor was try to make Heart a little better huging him. Heart smiled and pat Viktor head.
"Thanks buddy. Perhaps I thinking to much." Then Heart passby though one bookstore.
"I think I will buy a book. I really need something to calm my nerves. Perhaps about something species of Pokémon who live here in Star City, or anything about aparitions of Deltamon. This couldnt enlighted me about that mysteryous Delta Pokémon I meet."
Then Heart enter the bookstore.
You can't find any books about Delta Pokemon in Creshire, just one about Holon.
You find a novel about an ambitious Machop named Wanriky who searches for the longest continuous uphill route through Stair City, and finds love with a sleepy Abra along the way. Within the city they meet the villainous Hypno, a wayward Sableye, lots of Grimer led by Croagunk, and a Voltorb who keeps showing up.
Heart was quite interesting about that Holon book so It decides to buy It. "I wonder how It is going Nathan, Ventus, Shiva and Valder...I hope they are ok..." Then Heart decides to wander a little in the bookstore, If he find anything interesting. (This bookstore Shiva is too or It is another one?)
A fighting sheep with black wool, like an aggressive Mareep... How weird that sounded for Shiva's ears. Yet, she was somewhat enjoying this contrast, and the confidant glance from Braixen to protect Master from any nasty sheeps calmed her instant worry about how an Encounter of a Baaschaun might look like. And just in case it might have Dark Type moves or such... Not much of a problem to swap to Cottonee to defend herself with white fluff. Sweet white fluff fighting nasty black wool... Somehow, this loked rather amusing in Shiva's imaginary. "Thanks... What does Chresire do with all that wool, and has this black wool from Baashaun any other use than making clothes? Because... *cough* if the price isn't too high, I'd like to buy a batch."
---------------------------------------------
Weird... With every sentance reading in this old book, Shiva got more and more interested and curious about that natives in Hog Potato Swamp, that 'indigenous culture'. Of course she cannot help but to think of the Fortune Hunter, not only because she mentioned treasures can be found here...
They mention the South Wind again. They're calling this Wind a 'she' even... Also, whatever the heck they mean by 'the end of the earth', this must be a powerful elusive place where seemingly not only the South Wind 'herself' resides, but also Legends? That comment on how stars of Creshire are unique also gets her rather curious, but she doubted that she would see any in Stair City due to the city never sleeping. Neither where she currently in the Southern Hemisphere.
However, before very carefully closing this book and putting it back onto the shelf she got it from, she makes sure to photograph the pages containing this 'speech' with cell, only to later write it down on a sheet from her star-patterned Journal, rip out that page, and put it between the cover and the first page of the Music Book for quick referance if needed.

Heart finds a homemade cookbook for nice and cheap. The recipes are all vegetarian, as is common in Creshire. Most interesting thing about this book is the flower pressed into the cover: a flower with geometric petals and a shiny/holographic coloring.
