[backinthehole]

*And so, idol and newly arrived Pokemon breeder Yukiho did set out from New Bark Town, with her Snorunt, her friend Hibiki, and Hibiki's terrifying dog at her side! Their destination: Cherrygrove City, to the west

[Have one confused-looking soldier.]

Er...a shovel?

*Her immediate response is a YELP OF SURPRISE oh god oh god dude on the screen dude on the screen--!*

[backinthehole]

*okay Yukiho deep breaths, deep breaths, he's not actually here*

U-Um! Yes! I thought . . . I might need one . . .

[shieldofjustice]

[Huh, well, that was weird. Maybe she's shy? Athrun tries to appear less serious.]

Oh, huh. Well, I don't actually know either way. I've never needed one myself.

But if they don't, you could catch a Pokémon that can learn the move Dig. I bet that would work just as well. Maybe even better.

A shovel? There should be quite a few of those for sale in most towns... Goldenrod has a huge gardening shop though, if you want a specific type or size.

[backinthehole]

*. . . Smiles nervously . . . this person is giving ambiguous results on the dudeterror radar*

A-Ah, really? Well, I'd . . . really like to get one as soon as possible! Perhaps a hardware store, or something . . .

[combat_butler]

--oh, that's right! It might be a little pricey for someone just starting out, but there's a chain of hardware stores called The Machoke Depot! They have a smaller one in Cherrygrove, so that might work for you! If not, there's definitely one in Violet.

[backinthehole]

I see . . . thank you so much. I'll keep an eye out for it.

action o'course my love

[And here comes a Hibiki running up. ...in fact, she does a lot of running off and coming back. Traveling with Hibiki is a little like traveling with a dog pet.]

Yukiho! You've gotta see this!

[backinthehole]

*This worries Yukiho to no end*

*. . . like most things*

Hibiki-chan, you should be careful! Y-Yayoi-chan made the animals here sound pretty dangerous . . . but, um, what'd you find?

[can_do_idol]

That's just it! I found somethin' else.

[Poochiko, as he's been trained to, is trotting behind at a good distance. He's grumbling, not that Yukiho can hear it. This is the weirdest traveling party ever.]

Check this guy out! Momijirou II!

[Pokéball go! Bright light...]

[backinthehole]

*Awesome, this is something not even Yukiho can be scared of*

Ah--! It's cute . . .

[This is one idol who's totally used to this]

Ah, the Pokemart might have some! If not, there's GOT to be one in Goldenrod- they sell everything there!

[backinthehole]

Goldenrod, huh . . . someone else mentioned that . . . maybe I'll have to head there next . . .

[10yen_idol]

When we meet up, I'll definitely take you there!! It's a really nice city!

[backinthehole]

Is it a very long trip? I'm still not sure I've got a good handle on the geography here . . .

[video whoops]

[swordofimpulse]

A shovel? You can probably get them in some of the stores. Not sure about Cherrygrove though.

[backinthehole]

*EEK*

[backinthehole]

*P-Pulls it together, regaining some composure but looking nervous and embarrassed*

A-Ah . . . thank you! I'll--I'll take a look around.

[swordofimpulse]

You're welcome.

[That's... an odd reaction.]

Are you new here?
