Welcome to Gaia! ::

"You know, this at one time reminds me few years back when I was out on my adventures. Zangoose...and my Weavile...ooooooh God." I said. "You want to talk about bitterness between allies, that would have been it."

"Well Weavile was one of the first of my Pokemon. Actually...THE first. Got him from the Ice Caverns just east of Mahogany. He stayed a Sneasel for quite some time actually...I didn't really have the means to have him evolve or anything, nor did we really think on really doing it, because...tch...he was doing awesome. Well, afterwards, one thing after another, during my little situation back then, fate put me in meeting with Zangoose. The two...oh...dear...God. Those two had at it like no tomorrow. Who had the sharper claws, who could move the quickest, who could do this and that and...well...the rivalry started to get into territory about 'who's the favorite'." I explained.

"Oh that was nothing. Fast forward until the day Sneasel evolved into Weavile." I said to him. "That was when things truly went to a head and well. Lets just say its one of the very few times that I yelled at my Pokemon out of pure rage." I said. "Because what those two were doing was nothing short of childish for the both of them."

"Well, before Zangoose even showed up, the few that I did have. Like Weavile, Glaceon, Typhlosion, Scizor...they all picked up one thing about me. I try to keep a fair hand. I try to be very patient with them. They're like family to me and for that matter, I know that Pokemon will have their quirks about them, whatever that may be. However, they know when I speak up, they listen. Heh...it was almost funny when you think about that day. Zangoose never once heard me speak up like I did when I got mad. While it intimidated Weavile a bit, knowing that the both of them screwed up severely, Zangoose looked like he was about to have a heart attack. From there they toned it down considerably. In fact, considering everything from there on, the two have been the best of friends, actually.......though they still have to one-up each other every now and then." I said.

"More than likely, no, you won't. All Pokemon are like people. They all are different. They got their likes, dislikes, quirks, personal needs, and so on." I said. "But its nothing that you can just get ready for, though. You just got to deal with it when it happen."

"Well." I stood up, finishing up my Coke. "It will still be a short while before your Pokemon are probably cleared to leave, and there are still places to go in this town. How about we take a run to the Department store. Its actually not too far from here, actually. You thought that the Pokemon mart normally have quite a bit? The Department store...well, you'd have to see it for yourself." I said.

"Well lets get to it then." I said, stashing the coke bottle into the nearest trash can and made my way to the door.

I lead Aden out of the Pokemon Center and through the streets. Sure enough, the Department store was within sight when he got out from the center's doors. It was the tallest building that was within a couple of city blocks in this town. It would only be a few minutes before we made it to the building's front door. "Told you it wasn't far. Anyways there's plenty to choose from in here. Six floors of everything you could possibly need."
