"For the boat, not really. We can try the docks but there's not guarantee about there been something available. As for the largest town.." Thomas slowly drew his arm up for dramamtism, before pointing behind himself with his thumb.

"...Would be that shithole. If we're going to take a walk around there. I'd suggest turning to camera off. Poverty is not really something you want to catch on a promotional film."

"Pish tosh, I'm sure it can't be that bad, and besides, Spielzburg seemed to want us to capture anything new. If he doesn't want it in the documentary, he can cut it out in editing."

Lina seems to forget about the reporters with the prospect of truly starting the adventure before her. She pulls out her pokeball and pulls back in Johan.

"Lets be off then! Also, what did you say the name of the town was?"

"Shanty Town. And please don't ask me who named it as such, I wouldn't have much of a clue." Thomas replied plaintively

Frank does his best to record the press conference, and as chaos erupts around him he turns his cameras on the over enthusiastic reporters with a sly grin.

"Like Carvanah in chummed water, Homo Tabloidus aggressively pursue their prey... even when all hope of a capture as well beyond lost." He says softly in a voice something between a mutter and a nature documentary narration.

The mention of the shithole town, however, was enough to snap the large man back to reality. "I'll take a few shots of the streets when we head in, but I need to get some shopping done. I could use a new knife, and we could all buy some travel supplies."

"Well, good luck with the knife. I spent a while just looking for shop that would've sold them, no luck there."

Despite the pain from Mirage's claws Leaf managed to keep up a bright smile throughout the press conference and at the end of it all he finished with a flourishing bow. He stood there for a moment looking out across his audience until he realised the rest were getting ready to go, quickly he joined the rest of them.

((General concensus seems to be on the market so... Here we go!))

Leaving the airfield and more than a few crazed journalists and that one woman behind you, you pass by a few small tin and wood houses. The woman that Thomas had met earlier was gone now, undoubtedly finding some sort of respite in more dubious things after such a rude confrontation.

Passing out of the small residential area, Thomas guides the party to the very same open air market that he was at earlier. The sun is shining high up above as a cool island breeze dances across the landscape. It is indeed a very good day to go SHOPPING.

"Well, good luck with the knife. I spent a while just looking for shop that would've sold them, no luck there."

"Eh. I wouldn't think one would be too hard to find... but we shall see." Franklin shrugs.

---

His eyes skim the market stalls, looking for various things he might need. He was pretty sure that anybody looking to cause trouble in an open air market would target vendors, not customers, so he had no qualms with letting down his guard a bit and allowing the present group to scatter. "If any of you kids get in trouble, just holler for me."

Franklin searches for an opportunity to purchase a bladed weapon, as well as basic Pokeballs, Medicine, and other trainer supplies.

Leaf nodded and smiled towards Franklin,
"I will thanks, I'll be right back" he gave a quick wave towards the group and began to explore the market.
Leaf would look around for pokeballs, potions and night vision goggles

Corrie claps to herself. She had a few things she definitely needed to buy!
"I'm off to shop tooo!"
Corrie looks for a cooking kit, potions, and pokeballs.

Lina looks around with some distaste at the shabby market with some amount of distaste. "Seems pretty low class. Although I guess that might be for the best since they didn't give us any funds. Lets go!"

Lina searches for pokeballs, medicine, clothing shops, and also keep a eye out for any places that look like they might have a move tutor or a specialist tutor with fire moves.

Spoiler: SHOPPPING SPREEEEEEE!! (click to show/hide)

Frank's attempts to find anything was frustrated by the many distracting stalls and smells. Basic supplies, let alone knives seemed to be a bit out of his reach among the veritable hoards of junk. One old woman offered him a few broken pieces of tin silverware. You're not entirely sure you could make a weapon of it and you're pretty certain she's overcharging you. She claims the butter knife has emotional value.

Spoiler: Old Lady Gouda's Wares (click to show/hide)

Lina doesn't have a whole lot of luck either. Move Tutors seemed to be out of the question. There didn't seem like there was anyone teaching Pokémon moves anywhere around the Marketplace. Pokeballs and medicine were just as equally elusive. You do happen to find a small shop where one young woman is selling excessively white and fluffy hats. Squee! They are a bit pricey, but the shop owner mentions in passing that they hand made out of the down of one of the local birds. Johan reaches for one of the hats up on the table out of his reach with hungry eyes. They look so pretty...

Spoiler: Lulu's Fluffy Hats (click to show/hide)

In far contrast of her new buddies, Corrie hit the jackpot! After just a wee bit of looking around, she was able to find a young man in the business of cooking. After a small bit of chatting, you get him to reveal just what you needed to here! It just so happened he had an old cooking set he could sell. Convenient! It was kind of basic and would need a source of fire to cook the food, but it would work just fine for what Corrie needed! The man was also doing a bit of a small side business in berries, and was quick to offer a few of those as well along side his foodstuffs.

Spoiler: Lil Dom's Kitchen (click to show/hide)

Finally, Leaf finds exactly what he's looking for. Night Vision Goggles! After sweeping through the market, he finds a pair that was hung up in the back of the Fishing Store. Apparently, they had seen quite a bit of use out on the waters during the man's fishing weekly fishing trips. The store owner is more than a bit reluctant to give them up though. A good pair like this doesn't make it's way out to the island very often. You'll need to convince him to sell if you want to buy it.


Lina and Frank are both unable to find even the slightest clue on where to find Pokeballs, Potions, and other basic supplies. But Lina and Leaf have a bit more of a keen eye. Although they aren't sold anywhere in the market, there are several trainers and shopkeepers that have Pokeballs strapped on their person. The plot thickens...

Lina really wants to buy the hat. Since it would be a great piece of local color for the documentary of course! But she thinks of her remaining funds and how much it might cost to buy supplies. Sighing, she gathers up Johan in her arms and sets off to randomly wander the marketplace until it's time to meet back up with the others.

All the while the others had spent time perusing the market, Thomas had a different idea. bringing out his pokedex, he started to go through the maps on it, hoping to find something pertaining to the town's map.

Lina unfortunately doesn't find anything too interesting. How boring. She does happen to see Carrie and Franklin though. Carrie seems to be engaged with one of the islanders while Franklin is being offered a tacky little spoon by some old chick.

As for Thomas, tinker time pays off! While everyone else is shopping, you take some time to check the Pokedex's Map App. In a few clicks, you manage to zoom in down on Secund Island and Shanty Town. A small interface pops up displaying most of the town's highlights. Neat!



The other islands don't seem available just yet, but perhaps the Pokedex will notify you when it updates next.
