The Journey Begins

The clerk didn't give Rue a clear-defined answer to his question; having retrieved the clipboard with the trainer's signature, that was all he seemingly cared for as he left the trainer and pokemon. The box shook lightly, giving Rue a secondary warning about opening the box.

Rue frowned and was about to call beck the clerk when he felt the box shake again, he looked down at the box before putting it in his backpack and zipping it up "lets go thunder-lily we made mark wait to long" he said as he put his backpack on again and began to walk twords the market exit. Thunder-lily followed close behind, she had gotten tired of sitting on rues shoulder and decided to walk beside her trainer instead.

The box shook a bit while in Rue's backpack; apparently, even though he had been talked to, he had chosen to not open the box. Mark, who was outside the market and standing with his pokemon beside him, took notice of Rue starting to appear from within, giving the trainer a gesture that welcomed him back after his absence. "So, ready to go now," he asked. "Thought you'd come back a bit sooner honestly, but I suppose you got stuck deciding between one item and another."

Rue looked up at mark, he had decided to keep the deal a secret for now "yeah I was stuck between getting a thunder stone or not" rue informed, he took a moment making sure he had gotten everything he needed for the long road ahead of them "yes I'm ready to go". Thunder-lily looked at rues backpack, something told her that the road ahead of them was going to be eventful.
