early late mournings

Shaman walked out of his room and went to the main room of the guild. He streched and yawned. It was like ten in the mourning and Shaman had just woke up.

Izumi, a Shiny Absol and the owner of the Izumi Swap Shop, was just making a quick stock check. She always started her day at around six in the morning and she was just about to open shop, when she realized something.

"Oh, man," she thought to herself, "My stock is low again. I had better go out and hunt for more."

Shaman walked by the new shop and since it was so early for him he didn't bother with using his eyes he just sensed aura. The shop owner was distrested slightly he could tell from the aura." Hey need any help?"

Izumi whipped around, startled. She saw a Riolu standing, trying to rub the sleep from its eyes. It was obviously not working.

Normally, Izumi, who rarely spoke much, wouldn't have really said much to the guest. But, he obviously seemed very concerned, and she sorta wanted the little guy's help. "Well..... I guess there is something you could do for me." she said.

" Well okay what's your problem?" Shaman yawned and fiought sleep as he tried to listen to the Absol. He swore he was getting lazier than a slaking.

"I haven't posted any notices, but I suppose you could do a escort mission for me."
She paused to think a second.

"I need to find a few more exclusive items..." she paused again.
"Well, really I only need 1 or 2. We can discuss more on the road. Do you want to help?" she asked. There was no reply. She tried again.
"Heeeeeellllllloooooooo........?"

" Wha... What. Ohhhhh yeah. sure I'll help I'll give you a discount too. You normally have to pay like 300 poke so ahhhhhh. I don't care just pay me something okay." Shaman just really wanted something too do.

"Hmmm... Well, right now I have 250 poke in my bag." She stopped to think again.

Then she continiued, "How about this. I'll pay you up front. You can take it. Is that ok with you?" She waited for him to respond.

"Ah yeah sure yeah. You realise I could take your money and run right?" Shaman was curisous he wasn't a very trusty looking person.

Darkshock walked up behind the Riolu and knocked him across the head, "And I'd shock you till you're constantly twitching before you can try to," he said narrowing his eyes slightly.

" Ow I was just saying that I could not that I would. Just telling her to be more careful." Shaman rubbed his head.

Izumi narrowed her eyes.
"Even IF you tried to run, I AM 60 lvls older than you. I could hunt you down VERY easily. And if you tried to fight back, my Perish Torc would make you faint anyway." she growled.

Izumi wasn't really a violent person. But she took her job very seriously, so she was never afraid to fight if she had to.

.......Even so, she sort of admired the Riolu's wit. She found it sorta funny.

Darkshock looked at the Absol and smiled slightly. "y name is Darkshock, I'm the guild's cook," he said kindly though he was tapping his claw against the Riolu's tail.

" Okay god no one around here can take a joke. Where are we going miss?" Shaman turned back to her activly trying to get rid of Darkshock.

"Hi.I'm Izumi. I run the Swap-Shop." She looked to the Riolu.

"Is he a friend of yours?" She said as she watched him struggle to escape DarkShock, "Well, anyway, we sould get going. I need those items."

"If you're looking for items for your swap shop, I suggest searching Icicle Woods, I found a lot in there," Darkshock said as he headed towards the mess hall.

" Ah okay where you want to go then?" Shaman waited for his client's reply.

"Alright. I could probably stand to get a few ice-attribute items"
Izumi packed some supplies into her bag and prepared to leave.

Shaman followed her out.
