"*snort* If you have to ask, you can't afford them! I suppose the Geodude reprint is pretty reasonable...I would let that go for $2000."

He's a little nicer when you talk about the Ditto card. "Oh, these are such a funny gimmick. They don't sell well though. For you, just $100, our standard price for a rare. They retailed for $400 but no one was buying. Bit of a shame. I'd throw in a card protector for free if I can get this funny Ditto to a good home."

Ventus genial smile sharply turns into a half lidded eyed frown at the clerk's attitude, not in the least bit impressed or amused with the curt sass he was giving him for simply requesting a price of the Keni Morisugi's cards, and to a potential customer no less! "My, don't you have a charming sales pitch. I can now see why your storefront is so revered and exalted in Cress City, sir. Unfortunately, a man of my meager earnings can't afford such prestigious Items, so I will regretfully decline my offer to purchase them. In fact, I believe everything is out of price range, so its best I leave and not waste any more or your precious time, as it Poke as some might say. Have a good day," he said to them with a deadpan look and the most polite yet dry and biting tone of voice he could muster, and then he pivoted and calmly marched out of the store with nary another word or spared glance. as he headed over to the Center. At least there he has a pleasant transaction he's looking forward too....

Seeing her master leave in such a disgruntled state, Malphena stopped mooning at the Special Ditto Card and shoot the green haired clerk a sour look for both displeasing her master AND indirectly costing her a gift, before she chased after her master, stopping only briefly to *Hmpt!* at the store keepers. If their one thing she loathes more that bullies/overly forceful acts and Dark types, its when people are just plain rude for no good reason at all. Their attitude would be understandable if she or her master did anything to aggregiously offend them, but since that wasn't then case sod them!

Order: Have Ventus leave the shop in a huff at the poor customer serive/lip the clerk gave him, and head to the Center to wait for Heart so that they can conduct the trade/transaction (Scyther will automatically go into the PC). If/When Valder comes back, my character will use Haziel to Teleport to and from the Stair/The Department Store to purchase a Potion and Sandstorm TM (If he can't find Sandstorm outside the Dpt Store for the same price its listed in there, he's buying it FROM their; total purchase cost $3000 Poke total, exactly the amt Heart will give him), he'll remove any obvious signs that it was purchased from the place. He'll then shot a voice message to Nathan, saying he has a 'surprise' for them and is waiting in the Pokémon Center lobby. My character is a fairly tolerant man I think, but when he's given sass for simply ASKING for the price of something and treated in a condescending manner, he/I wants not part of their business. Sorry Dragonstrike, but looks like Ven's not helping out with purchasing a Booster pack....

Even loosing Heart enjoy quite a bit this battle. He pick up Koa and talk once again with the woman. "Thank you for the this great battle lady. I enjoy very much this Ceremony." Then Heart bow in respect to the Kimono girl and her Umbreon. Koa mimic the same action of Heart.

Mechanic: Unless there is other thing to do, Heart is going to relax a bit and wait for the nightfall and go to the Cathedral along with Hypno! Lets see what kind of mystery is there...

Heart gets a pale white flower with a Pokeball pin on it. You can see the delicate veins within.

Heart thanks the Kimono girl for the flower then Heart follow his path to a jewel shop to finally sell the garnet. And take that 4500 Pokedollars he wanted so much.

"Please come again!"

He sit in the table and send a quick message to him telling he already have sell the Garnet and he is ready to make the trade. Before he forgot, Heart make a quick change in his team and put Scyther in the party to finally trade with Ventus. "Time for you to join with a new parthneer. I just hope you can be well with Ventus better you was with me."
