"Muku didn't know dad." Muku adds, brow furrowing in frustration. "Muku sort of knew mom, but mom told me that I needed to learn to fly and shoved me out of the nest about 10 minutes after hatching. Muku did fly, but after that Muku kind of got confused and forgot which bird was mom and which was just another bird because there was a lot of birds shoving birds out of nests and there was a whole lot of beeping and it was just kind of confusing."
She stops. Huh. Why hadn't she ever thought about dad? Or mom? D-did other Pokémon care about that more or...? The glaring hole in her memory made her nervous. "Maybe we should go somewhere else. Kursz said nice things about blue-building right?"

"All of the pack was mother and father" Omega says curtly with a nod "I raised many pups once I became Mightyena. It was the duty of Omega when not hunting"
"I had never seen someone leaking like that though. It seems unhealthy. We should find something to patch Thel up before we face Morty. It seems like it would be a distraction in a fight"

"Maybe like a towel." Muku offered thoughtfully. "We can tie it around Thel's eyes, and then he won't have to worry about his eyes leaking, cause the towel will soak up all the water!"

I'm not going to say it was damage, but it was damage.

"You are welcome back any time." Em insisted, squeezing his hands in hers. "It isn't even that this is home, it couldn't be. It is just a place where I can learn, be sheltered and fed. I might start studying Pokemon to see if I can figure out what makes us so different. I just know that... Being around people, knowing I have food and shelter. It helps me be more comfortable." She still seems I'll at ease with the decision, but had made up her mind.
"They have towels in the blue roof building goo, come come!" Kursz waves Muku and Omega along, into the blue roofed building of wonders. It is full of snacks, and is slightly warmer then the outside. The hum of compressors pairs nicely with the quietly playing easy listening music coming through the speakers. A bored human sits behind the counter, chewing something and holding a stack of leaves with pictures on them? There are all sorts of Pokemon Trainer goods, pre-wrapped poffin snacks, home sundries, and more. It is much bigger then it looks from the outside.

"I'm sure you'll do wonderfully," Thel says, smiling at Em. "I will try and not be away for too long." He turns to the Kimono Girls. "And thank you for everything that you've done for the both of us. Both helping her, and aiding us in taking steps on our own journey." He glances around. "Uh... hey, where'd everyone else go? I should... probably go and find them, before they get too far." Giving a wave and a smile, he heads out the door, seeing if he can find where the others headed off to.

Muku's eyes glaze over as they attempt to capture all of the wonderful looking things that lined the shelves. It was like a tree full of fruit, but instead of just one kind of fruit, there was a bunch of different fruits and those fruits also had fruits. "Amazing." She says quietly. "Do you think the Kimono ladies gave us enough money to buy all of it?"

Omega looked at the money, and then at everything in the building "Maybe. But if that were the case, I think they might have just given us the whole building. Why make us take an extra step"
He walked up to the man behind the counter and slammed the money down "What is the best thing I can buy with this!" It seemed Omega still didn't know what an inside voice was

Thel readily finds the others, with Kursz keeping watch outside of the blue roofed building. He has a shifty look about him, as he often does, indicating his typical paranoia. A startled cry from inside heralds Omega and Muku's presence, then the din fades into the murmur of conversation.
"It's not about best... or worse my dudes." The clerk puts down his stack of leaves-with-pictures-on-them. After removing a thing from his ears, he thumbs through the stacks of cash Muku and Omega had each presented him with. "Every item does -something- for -somebody-. What you need the most is what's best, so only you know that. There are better goods then what's just on the shelves, but you can't have access to those without badges."

On the plus side, they weren't hard to find. On the minus side... well, it might be nice to try and bring a little less attention to themselves. He worries at times about what humans might do if they found out that the five weren't actually humans. So far, it's not been too bad... but he knows the horror stories of Trainers, and how they treat Pokémon. Would that same thing happen to them here? Would they be put back inside cages? He shakes those thoughts aside, and instead wanders through the store, keeping one eye on Omega and Muku. He looks for some more of the confections that the Kimono Ladies had given, as well as picking out some things that seemed roughly similar to the stuff that made food in the Center. When they leave, he wants to be able to at least try and eat like that. He'll miss it... 2 Beauty Poffins (500 each) and a Cooking Set needed for Chef Features (1000).

"Sooo, those things?" Muku asks, pointing to the shiny black and gold, but maybe not Pokeballs that hung in little boxes behind the counter and a thin sheet of glass with a lock. There were other things that Muku didn't recognize there, big blue bottles of spraying stuff and other fancy things. They were a bit different from everything else that was out on the front of the counter, like a new redesigns of the same Pokeballs that the lady in the last Pokémon Center gave them. From what Muku could tell, they weren't any different, but the package was saying something about 33% less waste? She frowns. Weird. She puts two five packs up onto the counter. Well, at the very least they were handy. A few more couldn't hurt! Buying 10 Basic Balls, just in case for 2500.

Omega almost throws the money in frustration before pocketing it instead "So what you're saying is that you won't let me have the best thing yet. But I can have a better thing when I beat Morty."
He slammed the counter again and nodded, before pointing at the 'dude' "You'll see me again soon. Prepare the best things you can give to someone with.....ONE Badge! For when I return I will be more than just Challenger Omega! I will be BADGE HOLDER OMEGA!"
Almost knocking Thel over as he leaves the Mart, Omega looks at the other boy with confusion "Are you.....Are you done leaking? I need you to be done leaking so we can fight Morty"

"Yes..." Thel says, squinting at Omega and the boy's actions. "I am good. We have made our arrangements. I guess now is as good a time as any to go fight more..."

“Is Thel not enthused for fighting?” Muku asks in confusion, tilting her head and staring with a pair of beady inquisitive eyes.

"I..." He thinks. "To be perfectly honest, no, I am not. It's mostly all that I know how to do... but, it's also not me doing it. I... just don't much like the thought of putting others into harm's way, even if they seem fine with doing it, and agreed to come with me willingly. I don't know..." He gives a wan smile. "I much prefer the parts of life that aren't fighting, now that I can do that. The food, getting to know Pokémon, just being able to bask in the daylight... all those things make me happier than fighting."

Deadpan stares are Thel's reward for his response. Something other than fighting? There was such a thing? Well, probably. She couldn't be that surprised. Some birds were fond of preening, others took nest-making to an extreme artform. Somewhere, there was probably some stupid fluffy bird that just liked to clean things and sit on people's heads. "Muku thinks that Muku understands what Thel is trying to say. Muku likes to fight, and Muku hopes that her Pokémon enjoy a fun battle too, but not everyone is battle bug and sometimes they just to want to relax."
She pauses. "It's only past morning. Maybe we do something that Thel wants to do before fighting Morty? Muku doesn't know why it's fun to sit on warm rocks, but Muku can try anything once."

"No, it's probably best to get it over with," he says. "If it's anything like earlier, we'll need to rest after it anyways."

Omega thumps his chest as he puffs it out "We will beat Morty quick enough that we can rest on warm rocks in the sun after the fight!" The once Mightyena didn't really understand it at all. When he was a pokemon, he was too weak to fight well, and was stuck watching the pups most of the time. But now! Now he was strong enough to fight, and strong enough to lead his own pack! There was nothing as wonderful as this.
He went contemplative for a moment "We should....we should discuss our battle plans before we meet him. If he is strong, we need a plan of attack before the fight begins, that way we can keep the battle panic away. My Blade will lead my forces. Do both of you know who you will use?"

"Hope is still injured after our earlier battle," Thel says, "So, that means that I will call on Serenity first. I've not fought with her, admittedly, so... I do not know how well that will go. I'm not sure how much planning we can do, though, not knowing what we are up against."

"Muku has a guess, Muku thinks." Interjects Muku, waving her hand like an appendage meant to be waved. "The first visit to the Gym was like spooky. Sort of like the tower, which was also spooky in a different way. So, so! Muku thinks, and follow Muku on this, Morty isn't a real trainer. He's just faking it because Ghosts aren't real!"
She poses, slamming her fist into the palm of her other fist. "Hah! Muku thinks she needs to lead with Mmip, since Muku hasn't battled with her for a while. But, if it comes down to it, Battlebug is really reliable and I'm sure that Battlebug wouldn't mind battling."

"No," Thel says, shaking his head. "Ghosts are real. We ran into one atop the tower, and I had to deal with it... Em was saying that they ate your soul. And... with how it made me feel, I can very much believe her. They are a thing. They can be defeated, but ignoring them or denying their existence is dangerous..." He thinks back to the chill, and all the fear in Em, and shudders.
