(starting song)

"Alllliiiiighhht....." I began with a concentration frown, looking at the puzzle before me in In Verbis Virtus. "Atul aghni...Tial udah. Namut atul." While I chanted arcane works, Attom's Stay was quietly playing as background noise.

After getting through the first part of these oh so fugly assholes with pincer like mouth heads and tentacles. "Atul aghni." I repeated a half dozen times, casting the spell enough times to kill the damn creature. About two more over the original thought, generated a satisfying boom with the creatures death scream. After that I quickly went about to find a puddle of water. Shortly after I casted the heal spell. "Yeggah mideh."

"So this game uses the player's voice to cast all the spells." Keldra asked curious and intrigued.

"Yes. Though it can be difficult memorizing the words. So it's good to keep a notepad or something to have the words written down." I noted to the small shiny psychic.

After a few minutes later. The nutrient dissolver decided it was time for restock of the system. I pause my game placing the keyboard and mouse to a safe spot for later use.

"I believe lunch is in order." I announced causing one of two loot fiends on the pc to turn their head. The little grass snake 'knight' had an evil grin plastered on her little face as she slayed a big fluffy boar like beast. "Sni sni, snivy sni snivy!" [Mine mine, all your loot is mine!] Nesia cackled evilly. Then it dawned on her that I said something, looking over. "Snivy snivy sni?" [Wait what's happening?]

"Munchables."

"Snivy sni!" [Oh goodie!]

I silently chuckled shaking my head with closed eyes. Just mention food to get her attention. I thought with a mental laugh. Shortly we went and got our food and went to one of the tables. We passed the time talking about the games we're playing, me giving some ideas and tips to the game Neisa and Elora have been working together at.

A short while later someone came into the center, I wasn't fully paying attention as I was conversing with my pokemon. I heard Joy's greeting with the replying voice that sounded somewhat familiar. From this I looked over to the workstation. Isn't that the douchenozzle from the mall?

"I think so." Vlad said somewhat sure.

"We'll know if we see that fire ostrich and hear the name Blaze." Psycho said with a laugh at the end, that got me smiling with a small chuckle.

"What is it master Will?" Elora asked curious as to what I was looking at.

I turned to her with a languid expression. "Oh just seeing if it's someone I know." I nonchalantly replied. And kicked the ass of.

I watched for a couple long moments, then went about finishing my meal. A couple minutes later, we finished and went about going back to our room. But not before I heard the telltale sound of pokémon being summoned from it's ball. I decided to look over, I saw a Blaziken with a not so prideful look. Said Blaziken locked eyes with me and just about shit itself seeing me, then trying to hide behind it's trainer. "Blaziken! Blaze blaziken blaze! Blaziken, blaziken!" [Oh shit! Jake don't let him break me again! Not again, Not again!] Blaze said franticly, becoming deathly afraid of the human that so easily broke his limbs. Remembering the terrifying look in the human's eyes. Thoroughly enjoying snapping the Blaziken's bones. He still doesn't know why he wasn't killed, remembering the killing intent buried in those psychotic eyes.

I just leaned my head facing the blaziken, I gave him an evil and spiteful sort of smile from my seat now remembering this Blaziken and it's trainer. Said trainer looked over in my direction, figuring out the reason why Blaze was cowering behind him. It was nothing what Blaze usually was like. But as he stared at the man at the table smiling evilly back, he soon grew fearful, remembering how he so easily beaten his pokemon single handedly. Doing so with an enjoyment he's never seen in another trainer. If he was one.

For all he knew he was a freak of nature or some sort of super soldier. Both still terrifying to poor Jake. So Jake from state farm and the fire ostrich is here. Delightful. Wonder if he'll be stupid again. I actually kind of hope so. I thought actually amused with this little situation.

Psycho was laughing at the Jake from state farm quip as I continued to look at the asshat of a trainer. With a delightfully disturbed grin on my part.

"Is everything alright?" Asked Nurse Joy. Not knowing the suddenly spooked Blaziken and trainer. Jake was going to have none of this and dashed away with a not so manly scream, leaving his poor Blaze behind. The full grown flame kiwi took a moment before his trainer left him, as he suddenly looked at the spot Jake was at a moment ago with saucer plate eyes. Looking at me and and where his trainer was back and forth about four times before it registered. Then locked eyes with me again.

I grinned an evil toothy grin looking at Blaze. I cracked my knuckles initiating some fear factor. I swear It cawed and clucked away like that one fear chicken soundbite. I gave a thoroughly enjoyed demented giggling, almost bordering cackling as I nearly fell out of my seat from laughing so hard. Having a small coughing fit after, chuckling every few seconds afterwards. "Oh god I needed that." I said with another chuckle.

My pokémon looked at me oddly from my laughing, I guessed they were confused and curious. "Soooo... Was that the guy from the giant building from yesterday?" Keldra asked.

"And the Blaziken I made my bitch!" I laughed getting into another fit of evil giggling. Elora did a chuckle as well because of the fact. She and the others knew the general implication from that fact, since being with their new trainer. They learned a lot of things of other pokemon, Including the pridefulness of Blazikens. And knowing how much I broke Jake's Blaziken.

After a while in the room, I decided for shits and giggles to check the vehicle laws for ATV's and such, and a few for shits and giggles, even a couple I was genuinely curious about. Turns out their pretty lenient, with a few odd rules... Still not as odd as that one state that you can't ride a fucking carousel on sunday with an icecream cone. I thought, reminded by the oddness.

"Oh! And the one where a woman can fap with a fish but a man can't." Psycho mentioned.

"Oh don't get me started with the sex oriented ones..." Vlad said being reminded by some of the stupidity of some of those laws.

"Like the one in Washington d.c. that you can only do the missionary position?" Psycho chimed.

"Yes...and the one that you can't get head." Vlad sighed.

Guys, possible psychics in the area. I reminded the two voices while looking for a shop selling quads. It took me a minute to find one near my area. Though it's going to be a bit of a walk. I looked at the image with a not so please look.

God damn it. It was almost a mile from my lodging. That's quite a bit of distance with a high chance of someone seeing and recognizing me...if they watched the supposed videos from the mall beat out. I thought, granted with a side of pessimism to the likelihood. Said chance is still high for my comfort. Hopefully I have a different coat. I put my laptop aside and pulled my pack over and began sifting though.

It took a short while but I found another one of my coats. This one being my thicker dark blue and black coat. It had an elaborate gray cross design on the left side of the chest. I smirked at the coat for a moment as I examined it, after unzipping it and looking at the inlining fluffy black fabric. I noticed pockets big and small that didn't exist before some of them zippable even. Odd as it may be, I liked the extra pockets. Hell, if I wanted to. I could carry that pistol with me. I noted, entertaining the idea. Then I noticed the hood was longer, making it easier to hide my face...oddly convenient considering.

"Yes, though Keldra may make note of it. Since she'll be next to it and question what it might be which may or may not go down hill from there." Vlad said seeing a potential problem.

...good point.

"Though I'm far from against the idea." Vlad noted.

Yes 'cause of implications and such. I commented.

"Indeed."

Now to prep. I added as I sat up while transitioning coats, though. Another thought went on. Wait a fuck. I just remembered I was going to search in the pack if I had some gloves. What I pulled out was not what I was expecting... Huh...my gaming gloves... I thought kind of confused, looking at the ruby red velvet gloves. I suspect augmentation... I thought in suspicion.

"Considering with previous items."

Precisely... I thought inspecting the gloves. Well, we'll know when we go out. I looked at the bedside clock noticing it was a little passed one. With that I quickly checked the forecast. Thankfully another shitstorm isn't due for a while, and it was partly cloudy. Perfect for my sun sensitive retinas. Then another thought presented itself since I needed to keep a lower profile. I'm going to need to go out with fewer pokémon. In which case, one at the most. ...but I'm going to need to talk to my pokémon on this and deal with which one comes with, if any of them, to which they'll need to stay behind and keep from unexpected visitors...

It took a short while for me to explain, but I managed thankfully. After that, I prepared my needed items. After prepping I got my scarf on and coat. I had to forgo the hat for now for the impending risk. In the middle of my prepping, my attention was grabbed at the sight of Keldra on the bed looking at me. My eyes snapped to her with a raised brow as I froze.

"Can I come with you?" Keldra asked. I looked at her uncertain for a moment. I mulled it over for a minute as the little ralts stood there with bated breath. After a a few more moments, I conceded to the thought. "Alright. Though, keep in mind I may need to keep you somewhat hidden." I calmly warned.

"I don't mind." Keldra said with a smile. Afterwards getting everything I needed on, I worked about getting Keldra in the coat. Thankfully with this coat, there was a pocket that she could fit in. She had a similar idea and made herself comfortable. She could still poke her head out when she wanted, and was quite comfortable with the spot. For a little more comfort, she pulled the two ends of my scarf to herself. Making a pillow and something to cling to. "Good now?"

"Yes."

"Alright. And off we go." I said as I turned to the door. Before I entered the doorway, I peered in and looked at Elora and Nesia. "Don't open the door unless it's me or nurse Joy. And if she asks where I am. I went out and will be back soon."

"Got it!" Was Elora's cheerful reply, voicing for Nesia and herself.

"Alright, I'll be back." I notified. Though before I left , I peered in again. "Anyone breaks in-"

"Kick their ass, then tell nurse Joy what happened." Elora finished putting a smile on my face.

"Good girl." I added with an approving smile.

I finally left, putting on my gloves and pulled on my hood. After going down the stairs our lovely host nurse waved me over. Ah shit. I cursed as I turned my direction to her. Multiple things went through my mind of what she might say or mention.

"Going out?" She inquired with a calm smile.

"Yeah, going out for a bit. Going to go grab myself something to help quicken moving about." I somewhat explained in a relaxed tone.

"Don't blame you with the snow. Going alone?" She asked not seeing any of my pokemon. At this moment Keldra poked her head out.

"Ral." [Hello.]

"Nope." I added, Joy smiled at the little Ralts. "Though, can you do me a favor?" I asked which confused nurse Joy a bit. "Sure."

"If anyone decides to start asking about a guy in a black skull coat, and a fancy pirate's hat. It'd be fantastic if you denied my existence here." I explained then asked.

"What did you do?" The nurse shiny asked concerned and little interested.

"I might of become talk of a few social media's." I said vaguely both liking and disliking the thought.

"I want to ask how, but something is telling I probably shouldn't." Nurse Joy said now uncertain of my answer.

"Yeah...let's go with the part of not doing so." I replied. "So. With that, I'm off!" I added then walked away. After walking out of the entrance doors, Keldra popped back in kind of like an anemone while I chose a song to start walking too. I fell on Jackpot by TheFatrat, I could use the cheery toon, leaving a bit more bounce in my step as I made the journey to the shop.

I gazed at some of the establishments occasionally, kind of looking at everything of interested curiously. It really intrigued me what kind of shops and such there was. Quite a few I've expected, and quite a bit that seemed either odd or interesting. Even saw a few pokémon grooming shops, even saw a Dragonite in the third one. Cool, looks kind of different then I expected. More realistic kind of. Wonder if pokémon in this realm I'm in have different types to there species. Different regions and such, evolutionary paths. I noted then began contemplating.

"Yes, the prospect of the multiple types of evolution are an interesting consideration, considering the adaptive genetic makeup of pokémon as a whole. Fascinating really." Vlad commented.

Fascinating indeed. Well, we sure as hell going to be here for a long ass time. If not for the entirety of my remaining life. Might as well learn of the fauna, right? Helpful or not being debatable...

"Yes quite. If anything it'll be good in cases as in combat. it'll be good to know a few quirks to take advantage of, with the impending weaknesses."

Indeed, and dealing with them in general.

"Valid idea."

And it'll be wise to know some do's and don'ts as well, among other things. I thought, I'm going to be prepared if I'm to journey. And if I'm to entertain the thought of trying out the gyms. Granted I could give a shit less, but they seem like an interesting thought nonetheless with the interesting tactics and powers of my pokemon. The faces of shock might even be worth it. I started to sport an amused smile imagining the looks.

As dickish it is that I'm being thrusted violently into this life, it's going to be entertaining. I thought languidly as my expression dulled to a mute look. Letting the music become background sound as my mind copied the voices and sounds of the songs. More or less as my mind does usually, my mind and body going into a light stage of autopilot.

I occasionally checked my map to the shop, refreshing my memory of the path. All things considered. This is the most tranquil walk I've ever had. Granted I've never went on any walk of my own volition in my world. Which this is a first everything considered.

Another fifteen minutes later I found the shop, a little bigger then I originally thought. But my expression began getting livelier as things were catching my interest. I noticed along the way, Keldra decided to take a nap. After going in, I decided to explore while taking off my hood, though leaving the scarf over my face keeping in comfortable warmth. As I did so Castle of Glass from Linkin Park began to play as I looked at the varied accessories for the ATVs. Shortly after I heard someone calling out to me, I kind of contemplative confused look doing a question hum, looking over to the direction of the sound with a raised brow.

I saw a bearded man in about his late thirties covered in tattoos and a black skull snapback with some dreds poking from behind his neck. I turned down my music a few notches to hear better as I walked over to his counter. I had a bland look with an inquisitive brow. "Can I help you with something?" He asked, I noticed a couple piercings. Noticeable but not invasive, two on the left eyebrow, one on the lip and small skull spike gauges.

Nice ink. I thought impressed with the designs and level of detail, I brought the scarf down some so my voice wasn't muffled. "Yeah actually. I'm looking for an ATV with high torque for rough terrain. High speed, good storage capacity fuel efficient-" I listed before being interrupted, a thing I really do hate.

"Dude, we use solar." The man informed blatantly as if this was a well known fact. At that, I saw a black Joltik.

"Joltik jol joltik?" [Did he just ask about fuel?] The Joltik chuckled, I gave a bewildered gaze at the bug, seeing the completely off coloring. First a crimson Gible now a black Joltik with neon blue eyes. The fuck!? I thought, questioning the existence and possible thought. That I'm in a dimension of the pokemon multiverse that has a wider shiny color range.

"That would make so much sense in several things." Vlad noted.

"Interesting, yeah. I haven't had the chance to use solar powered ATV's. Granted never even knew of such a thing to be honest." I said rather honestly. Interesting the tech here is of a higher grade, including things like the quad I'm trying to get. The Joltik began snickering from my response. I gave it a narrow eyed look. "Well excuse me for not being able to acquire something like this. Don't have to be a little dick about it." I said, that little part shut it up while giving me a shocked look.

"Nitro, no antagonizing the customers. How many times do I have to say it." Jay reprimanded the Joltik.

I looked back at the guy, I noticed one of those bluetooth earpieces you see on a lot of businessmen. It could be just that or one of those translators for pokemon to human interaction, to which in this world's case. Pokemon that didn't already speak english. Upon that a sudden matter showed itself...was I able to understand if these people were speaking a different language entirely, and I was somehow able to replicate the language? Or did everyone actually speak english and I'm just putting too much thought into this thought process. God damn it's a high possibility of either one... I thought.

"Hey Jay! Where should I put the new terrain shift tires?" I heard a female voice ask from my right. Heh, kind of like Jay and Silent Bob? I thought humorously. "Hold on." Jay asked me, then turned his attention to the voice. I inkind looked in the same direction in a note of curiosity, wanting to put a face to the voice. What I saw, was a taller then average Grovyle with a oddly blackened head leaf standing if I were to guess, about four foot two wearing a dark green hoodie showcasing several grass types with the text. "GRASS TYPES FOR THE WIN!" in bold text. Heheh, well then. Wonder if they have the full spectrum. I thought amused.

"Graivial, just put them by the Triteon model. We'll sort them later." Jay said to the Grovyle named Graivial. Interesting name. Definitely unique. I thought intrigued, just then the next song that decided to take it's turn was My friend by Nine Lashes, putting on a kind of calm tone for me. (Grae-vee-al) ((optional song))

After that me and Jay got to talking on a quad for me to get. Some models have me tempted, but as it is. I'm going to be staying for a while, so I needed something to last me a long ass time and won't break easy. To which, he came to a conclusion of a custom build. Apparently he gets pretty good demand for his ATV's so he's able to get the out of the norm really good parts. This being fantastic in my case, hopefully my money can take the impending blow.

"Right, follow me to the Vis-jector and we'll work out a custom for you." Jay said walking away from behind the counter. I had a confused look accompanied with a right tilted head and a furrowed brow.

"Wat?" Was my simple and confused reply to the words "Vis-jector"

Jay looked at me hearing my puzzled response. "Sorry, that's what I call the visual holographic projector. Vis-jector for short." Jay explained, I did a small tongue click while doing a slow nod with raised brows, accompanied with an "okay" by me. Satisfied by my reaction we made to a short hall a small ways from the customer counter. What I saw was a three foot by seven foot metal door that reminded me of the metal doors from school.

I could hear pounding of metal on metal while nearing the door, peaking my interest and jumpstarting a thought that this might be a workshop for making the custom ATVs. Cool. I could see some reasoning why one would want the projector here for the staff seeing on how some parts should go where, giving it's an out of norm part being implemented. But why wouldn't he have one out in the consumer area? Seems more of a smarter thing. I thought on the implication of placement.

"Yes, it would make sense. Since the customer could possibly see ratings on what and how it'll do on what model. Though he might not of been able to install two because of current financial requirements at this time." Vlad reasoned, and providing a point in some areas. Yes, quite possible. Affordability is probably low considering on the equipment.

When Jay opened the door I could hear I Stand Alone by Godsmack strangely enough, recognizing it by the first few strums. Well shit, color me intrigued. Godsmack is a thing here, awesome.

As we went in I turned down my music to hear the song. It's been awhile since I've heard it. And from the sound level I felt Keldra stir, then a moment later pop her head out. Curious as to where we are, while letting out a small yawn. The both of us saw a Feraligatr with something akin to some sort of welder's mask-esq face shield working on a in progress ATV. Keldra looked at it curiously, intrigued by the design and function.

"Damn blasted transition joint! If I made the other three of you bastards work, I'm gonna make you behave like the rest, come on you buggering little shit!" Said a deep and guttural british voice. It reminded me of some big british goons, to which by all means enthused me while I followed Jay to a circular device about the height of the oval coffee table I use for my tv/computer screen. It looked like something out of a sci-fi movie based a couple decades into the future. I looked back at the Feraligatr, to me it was interesting with the thought of such a pokémon working on something like so, to which I suppose as it's job. Further interesting on the type of voice as well.

I looked back at the projector Jay brought me too with a expression of interest at the technology, sure I've seen plenty of what would be holographical tech of my world. It's almost dare I say it, rudimentary in it's aesthetic design, though sleek at the same time.

"Alright, now I want you to make a sort of swiping gesture. Any way that'd you would do with your own personal one." Jay asked me, I glanced at him with a raised brow. I made an "Umm...okay" facial expression with a shrug. I brought my hand out and up with a loose pointed gesture with my index and middle fingers. I had a both part intrigued and surprised expression at the display flaring up suddenly, it showed a generic model of an off road four wheeler. Jay was smirking at my expression. "Get's them every time."

"Well I can see the obvious reasoning why." I noted still quite fascinated by this piece of tech. At this time I took in consideration of exploring the programs features with all that's listed, everything showing a price.

"Alright, let's go about a model that you'll like. It's by definition of all terrain, and It'll give a lot of agile pokémon a run for their money." Jay spoke as I glanced at him again with an interested raised brow.

"Oh?" I said egging him on to explain more, Jay brought up a model of a cross of my mom's Big Bear ATV and a BMX ATV. "This is the-" Jay began before the Feraligatr mechanic spoke. "Oi Jay, 'e a new buyer?" Asked the Feraligatr.

"Yeah Tweak, and he's going high end." Jay commented to the Feraligatr apparently named "Tweak".

Tweak looked at me with an uncertain gaze, getting up and grabbing a rag to clean the grease and other solutions from his claws. "Really?" Tweak asked in question walking over to us. Another unique name, fitting considering. I aptly thought taking in the large water type's stature, I noticed a little more of a fluid bipedal motion in his gait then what I supposed to be the normal. I also noticed his body more resembled that of what would be of mythical crocodilian beastmen, a somewhat slender but muscle dense structure. This honestly intrigued me because of my learnings of science and mythology.

Upon another note, this form heavily more suited the species design then the anime's portrayal in my opinion.

Before I get my comment out, another song of Godsmack began to play, to my delight, the song being Straight Out of Line. "I'm just going to get this out, that I love the fact that you have a voice like that, with that type of accent. It's just fitting for you're kind of species." I commented slash complimented with a enthused smile.

Tweak looked at me with a raised brow kind of look, looking somewhat uncertain how to comment back. A moment later he cracked a smirk. "Ha! Don't get a comment like dat often. Roit, that aside, and no offence mate. But you don't look like you have a lot of cash for what you're going to ask for."

"Trust me mate, I's got a few surprises." I replied adopting the opportunity to use my similar-ish british accent, kind of having fun with the interaction. Sometimes it surprises me how native I can sound with my accents.

"Wot, you do accents?" Tweak inquired, finding this conversation starting to be enjoyable.

"Aye, that I do." I said back in my natural Scottish accent.

"Can you do any voices?"

"That I can."

"Oh, what about that bugger named Gollum?" Tweak asked being entertained by the thought. Amazingly enough Keldra's been silent the entire time, I guess choosing to listen to the conversation, as well she was curious of who Gollum is. It's actually something I would do oddly enough.

I grinned a bit at that one. Then went on in a spot on rendition of Smeagol that make the voice actors proud. "We burns the Bagginses! Precious bad for Bagginses, Bad! Dirty little hobbites won't get precious, never!" I spoke, in a wholehearted defiant aggravated tone of Smeagol, and incorporating a few movements. Tweak heartlilly chuckled, thoroughly enjoying the performance, Jay even had a grin loving the act. This made their day. Now Keldra was thoroughly curious because of the voice.

"Oh bloody hell that was good." Tweak said with a smile. "If I was runnin the store, I'd give you a discount right there. And for brightening most likely the rest of my week, I'll suggest a model for you. Get the Stratian model, best we got. And easiest to mod, with one hell of a durable body." Tweak mentioned. "And another thing, since that put me in such a good mood, I'll throw in a paint job and decaling on the house."

That last tidbit made me smile, having a tough four wheeler is going to be good. And having a free paint job and decaling was a nice addition. "Sweet!" Thank you bipolar luck. I thought rather enjoyed by the fact.

"Since Tweak is my best and sole mechanic, he's able to have say so with things like that." Jay commented, moments like these were rather rare with his clients and customers.

I then noticed that Tweak was gazing a little more intently at me, leaning in closer, seeing a tuft of blue out of the characteristic black of my coat and reds of my scarf. His eyes squinted as I looked at him with a confused and unsure gaze, now curious as to what the hell he's staring at. Keldra shifted in my coat, the bit of scarf covering her face moving to show here staring at the Feraligatr with a deer in headlight like stare.

They stared at each other, an odd silence falling over for a moment as both me and Jay were rather confused, Jay being more so out of the two of us. Tweak's eyes began to widen as he began to grin at Keldra. She visibly sank in a little bit. "'Ay dare tiny." Tweak said in a friendly tone, he was fond of little things, and little pokemon were in that category. I swear Keldra's head popped back in like a gopher popping back into it's hole, and that hole being my coat. I'd be lying if I said I didn't find this amusing.

Tweak chuckled. "Oh come now, big ol' Tweak don't bite."

Oh god the irony on thought with that statement. I mentally laughed, this has been one of my better interactions since I've gotten into this world. "I think it doesn't matter for her in this case." I stated with a small chuckle.

"I may be big, scaly, and sharp teethed but I ain't goin' do nothin to her." Tweak replied with a toothy grin.

"Believe it or not he's a big scaly teddy bear!" Graivial humorously chimed passing the doorway.

"As much as I can't deny it, come on! I's got a reputation to keep!" Tweak retorted, to which the Grovyle replied in kind. "What reputation!" She said with a friendly laugh walking away.

"Oh low blow." Tweak said with a chortle. "Okay then, let's get those parts sorted, yeah?" He asked, getting back to the business of my visit.

It was roughly thirty minutes of sorting through what parts would be good for what among other things, and another ten getting the general things sorted.

"Roit, let's get decals and colors sorted." I say after most of the things needed for this process were done. I bring up my p.g. And began finding a decal to use, it didn't take me long.

"Hey Tweak, think you can do this?" I ask showing him the image I wanted as a decal.

Tweak took a moment to look at the image showing a smirk at the unique tribal-ish cross combination wrenches and skull with a flame coming up from the top. "Like the style, yeah I should be able."

"Awesome, I'll give you a copy for reference after this bit. Now for colors...let's do this...then this bit here and then that." I said as I meddled with the coloring function of the Vis-jector model of the ATV. "So primaries going to be black, with a midnight blue and then a Kandy electric fuchsia accent." I noted to Tweak, he studied the chosen colors with an approving nod. "That really does look nice."

"I'm good with colors, I may not be able to draw for shit but I'm fabulous with colorization." I stated, looking at the potential four wheeler.

"Seems so. Roit, after I'm done dealing with that pain the arse over dare. I'll be getting to this, I'd expect you to come back by about...three or so days, 'aving to wait for parts then assembly. Sound fine to you?" Tweak explained then asked.

"Yeah, I'm good with that." I replied understanding and accepting the time frame. I was fine with a few days. I really had nothing planned for this thing yet, so had no worries...besides payment, to which I wracked up a...decent...amount.

I looked at Jay who's been patiently waiting, he could afford to be back here for so long, because times like these after the storm. Business was rather slow. I went with the process of coming back to the front desk then go about the payment process, a few bits confused me, to which thankfully, Jay was happy to explain a few things. After that bit and getting a warranty, since you never know when you'll need such for what kind of raisin bran fuckery this world could and will hold. We got to the payment process.

"So shall I pay up front? When it's done?" I asked making sure, the song Dream State by Kohza began playing letting on a calming and cheerful atmosphere as I turned my music back up.

"We'll do it up front. Just slide a card though this, we take debit and credit just so you know." Jay added, making this just a little easier for me. In the process of saying fuck it to the implication of payment ratio of possible withheld amount I have to this somewhat hefty payment. I finally went with the final process of payment.

"And with that you have a new ATV, gotta say, it was a pleasure to talk to you."

"Same here, well, have a wonderful day. I'll be back in about three days."

"See you till then!" Jay said cheerfully. After having no customers for about a week, he rather liked this encounter. It definitely brightened the dulling atmosphere of his shop. After I left the shop, getting my hood and scarf situated. I went about going back to the center, this objective being done. I was rather pleased with the situation and interactions, it went much better and easier then I hoped. And I got a few freebies, and like most people, I like getting a few freebies.

Graivial walked up to Jay's side with a smile. "Is it me, or did he bring in a lot of good energy?" She commented, noticing the air in the shop got noticeably lighter with the added feel of here just feeling better. Like a good portion of a hazy feel has been cleared.

Jay glanced at her with a smirk. "You too?" He vaguely inquired noticing the sort of cleaner feel, after the guy with the Ralts left. "It does feel better in here." Jay noted with a lingering smile. "He even got Tweak in a great mood."

"Yeah, it's good seeing the big guy like that again." Graivial spoke, it was a while since last she saw the big water type in a genuine good mood. Being the only one to work the parts and tools so well can be stressful with the set in expectations of Jay's shop.

"So, how'd you like the experience?" I offhandedly asked with a calm cheerful undertone.

"It was...interesting." Keldra replied, the encounter wasn't entirely unpleasant.

"Well that's good." I noted with a soft smile. She's actually a shy little thing. Odd considering her norm, but if I was her size and saw something like Tweak. I'd be a bit shy too. But other then that, this went very well.

The walk back was like the walk over, nothing happening letting me have a calm trek back. I had a languid look with a light smile the whole way back, I was half zoned out along the way leaving me in a rather tranquil state of mind that was aided by instrumental music that played the whole way. And the best part there was barely any people I saw along the way. Furthermore, not a single one recognized me or tried to battle me.

By the time I was back at the Pokécenter, I was practically in a stoners kind of calm. Like I woke up to a blissful morning and went for a soothing nature stroll then after getting back having a cup of herbal tea, looking over into the lush green of the forest in a padded rocking chair on the porch. Having a mind numbingly relaxing start of a day. In which case, that actually sounded like a wonderful morning in retrospect. That's if my mind doesn't go about the knowledge of the things that could cause me harm one way or another, further still if I could stand drinking true tea. It sounded nice regardless.

When I walked in, nurse Joy greeted me. "Welcome back." She said with a cordial smile.

"Hello." I replied in a rather calm and friendly tone as I continued on, making my path to my room. After I got up to my door, a little quip came to mind. Honey, I'm home. I thought with a mental chuckle just before I opened the door. "O'lo." I announced walking in.

Nesia and Elora looked over pausing their game. "Snivy sni!" [You're back!] Nesia said with a smile with Elora sharing the same sentiment. "Yay, you're back!" The two pokemon got off the computer chair, coming over to me as I knelt down to let Keldra out.

"Snivy sni snivy sni?" [How did the thing go?] Nesia asked, curious on how my outing to the ATV shop went. "Did you get that four wheeler thing?" Elora asked next.

"It went rather well, and yes I got the four wheeler. Though I have to wait a few days for it to be built, it's going to be fucking awesome when it's done." I said, myself actually kind of excited for the mode of transportation. It was going to make moving around a hell of a lot easier.
