[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

Karen waves at Pelipper.  "I'm Karen!  Hi!"

Pyra's questions seem to both amuse and confuse Pelipper.  "Well, mail is usually a message or gift that you get from someone else,, and it's my job to deliver it as a mailmon.  And I'm flattered by the compliment, but I'm afraid I don't have any loose feathers right now."

Kee's question gets a chuckle out of Pelipper.  "Well, the mail might not be from anyone specific.  I deliver newspapers too, after all.  If you take up adventuring, though, maybe I'll have some job requests for you sometime!"

Pelipper stretches his wings, preparing for takeoff.  "Alright, it's time I went on my way!  Still have a ton of mail to deliver, after all!  Hope to see you all again soon!"

The pelican pokemon rises into the air, and Marcus waves goodbye.  Once the mailmon has left, Marcus takes a peek in the mailbox.  "Alright, let's see what news he brought us today..."

Marcus pulls a newspaper out of the mailbox and takes a moment to read it.  "Hmmmm...another human that had been turned into a pokemon has gone missing, apparently..."

He sighs, then puts the newspaper back in the mailbox, trying to stay positive.  "Well, let's not worry about that right now.  I'm sure they'll turn up eventually.  Let's keep going.  Our next stop is the town itself!"

--------------------------------------------------------

Marcus leads everyone back to Sahra Town, and everyone's able to get a much closer look at how the town itself looks now that they've entered it properly.



(you can ignore the presence of any pokemon present in the picture that I don't specifically mention.  They were placed in the image as a sort of half joke/experiment, and there's very few other images of Sahra town on the internet since it isn't a major location.  Source for the images iso this post by EddyK28 (aka Doc Krok) on the Mystery Dungeon subreddit.  Oh, and if you want to get a closer look at the images, open them in a new tab.)

The heat of the sun above may be bearing down on the town, but the trees look lively, and the ocean being next to the town offers a promise of a nice chance to cool off later.

On the way into the town itself, Marcus stops at the shop manned by two Kecleon, one green and one purple.  They seem to be watching the group approach in eager anticipation.  "Everyone, I'd like to introduce to you the Kecleon brothers!"

The Kecleon Merchants: Kecleon Shop - Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon



The green one looks at the strange group of pokemon curiously.  "Well, who do we have here, brother?"

The purple one mirrors the green one's actions.  "Newcomers, it looks like.  New shoppers, I hope!"

"Yes, yes! Hello, and welcome to Kecleon Wares!  Supplies for all your Adventuring needs, right here!"

Marcus sighs.  "Do you two ever have anything on your mind other than business?"

"Should we?

"...*sigh*...I suppose there isn't much reason..."

"Then let's not dilly dally!  So, what can we do for you today?"

The two Kecleon clap their hands together as they wait for someone to stop browsing and start purchasing.



Karen's eyes light up as soon as she sees the shop, and she's immediately next to the counter at the soonest opportunity.

"Ooh, what kind of items do you have?"

"Well, I've got berries, apples, a seed or two...the usual.  Nothing exotic currently, but it's all practical, and very much essential.  You should definitely pick something up before you leave!"

"And I have Orbs and TMs!  Nothing rare today, unfortunately, but I'm always keeping an eye out for the best of the best for our customers!  You never know when a powerful item or move might save the day, after all!"

Karen pulls out the Big Nugget that she's been carrying around.

"How much would you give me for this?"

Both Kecleon seem to be very, very surprised to see Karen pull out such a valuable item.

"My, my, where did you get such a beauty?"

"Well, well, that's quite the item you have there."

"I'd say we'd buy it for...hmmmm...$10,000."

"Yes, that sounds about right.  $10,000!"

Karen seems about ready to just hand the Big Nugget to the Kecleon and get to shopping!

Marcus seems surprised to see the big nugget too, and he speaks up before Karen does anything with the Big Nugget.  "...uh, maybe you shouldn't spend that all in one place, Karen...just a little advice."

"Why not?"

"Well, maybe there's something else you might want to spend that money on."

"Hmmmm...like?"

"...uh...maybe a place to live?  I know there's a vacant plot of land outside of town.  Kinda expensive, though...probably need more than $10,000 to purchase it..."

Karen has to pause and think about that for a moment.

"Well, this is where Adventurers purchase most of their supplies, everyone.  Feel free to browse before we continue."

"Looking is free!"

"No free samples, though!"
