Palila was literally only a step away from Oberon when he turned to his friend and mentioned fake ID's. She rolled her eyes. Apparently fake ID's were really popular among the youth of this universe- no wonder the Pokecentres were so strict about them. As they walked to the store she fell into step with Oberon and raised an eyebrow.
"That big guy butters you up?" She pulled a face at the mental image of Knuckles wielding a butterknife, pasting the shorter guy in butter like a smeargle doing an artwork.
"Whatever floats your boat, I guess?" At this point she didn't know WHAT to think of this stranger, but nodded in agreement when he asked for simple answers as payment. Palila scampered to her own little corner of the clothing store to get a bit of space and try things on. First things first- she took off her puffer jacket and hung it under the shops air conditioner to dry. It didn't seem to be doing much, so she let out her Oricorio and directed it to fan warm and drying air towards it. The Oricorio looked surprised to be let out for something that wasn't a battle, but obliged, dancing gently.
She grabbed some nice looking boots and thermal top and leggings, as well as big comfy spongy looking grey socks. The shop attendant noticed Oberon and then looked over at her, noticing her coloured hair. She swanned her way over to Palila and held out a round monochrome bag, with gold and yellow accents.
"You're here with him? Oh, I believe this will work with you!" Her sweet voice offered, and Palila took the bag gratefully, unsure if she had to pay for it. The bag kept its shape very well- as if the paper stuffing was still inside it. Palila figured it must have been a display one that the shopkeep was trying to get rid of. Oberon seemed busy looking at clothes, so she didn't ask him. Whatever, the gold zips were nice.

In the changeroom, Palila flicked her wet clothes off onto the floor with a SPLAT and started to get changed into some dry ones.
She opened up the bag the shopkeep had given her, wondering if she could fit her old clothes in there.
"Oh!" She couldn't help but exclaim from inside the changerooms. The bag had a shirt and pants inside.
She picked up the shirt and held it up.

G

Palila grinned.
How the heck did I get so lucky. This must be payback for the waterfall.
She folded the shirt neatly and put it back into the bag, mind now filled with a lot more questions for Oberon.

On the way to the counter, she gave the shopkeeper a genuine smile.
"Thanks so much for your help!"
She bought another little jar from the countertop, just to sweeten the deal.

Item: Honey
Cost: 10 pts
Remaining points: 12

Palila pulled her jacket back over everything, tucked the honey pot into the side of the bag which was now comfortably hanging from her shoulder, and exited the store. She brought her Oricorio back in, and let out Chatot instead, who perched on her shoulder, cocking its head towards her and listening.
As they were talking back towards Oberons 'friends' he finally started chatting- and apparently didn't waste time. Excellent- straight to the point!
"A few days ago- I wasn't around for the lake thing, if thats what you're wondering." She quickly absolved herself of any guilt from that well televised event.
"The people I was travelling with suck, and that stupid professor is out to kill us. Your team Galactic really saved my ass back there, when the laser-gun-arm man with dinosaur pokemon ambushed us." She nodded her head down towards the bag she had been given.
"I'm guessing after that fiasco you guys need more of a crew? Am I cool to join?"
Despite pretending to be all cool and knowledgeable and hardened, Palilas tone became soft and she felt her face go pink as she looked up at Oberon and then looked away. If someone was any good at reading people, they'd know she was pretty vulnerable and definitely not keen on a rejection right now.
This time around, joining the group would be her own choice.
