"If someone else books up the remaining tables, you'll be out of luck. Otherwise you can book when you get here, but the price doesn't go down over the day." She seems to miss your slip.

Zach nodded. It was a fair rule. "I'll be by early to let you know!" With that he was off, to hunt for a new knife!

None of the stands here have knives so Zach must travel further into the Shopping District. The Mall has come into view at the end of the street by the time he spots an outdoor survival shop that looks like it might have some good weapons, amongst their gear.

How convenient! He was going to meet his friends at the mall... but maybe he should change his team up just in case... for now, he made his way into the survival shop, a curious look on his face.

Inside the shop he finds dozens of stands with tents and outdoor clothes. On one wall are two large displays, one with various woodchopping axes and another with all manner of knives. The other walls have various shoes.

Zach is, of course, immediately drawn to the knives on display, looking them over carefully.

There are all manner of knives on one huge display, but Zach notes some in particular.

Looking between the straight edge, the hunting knife, and the Kukri, Zach was torn. He looked for an employee, hoping to get a quote on the prices for these weapons.

He's able to call one over. A bearded fellow wearing the uniform of the shop and a name tag that said "Earl" goes over the options. Some of the cheaper ones on display are around $1000, but those ones aren't much better than what Zach is currently using. Of the ones that caught his eye, there are slightly more expensive versions up there, but those wouldn't really be any better, so each of them has a make that costs $2000, and is still of good quality.

Zach nodded, a little disappointed. Just a little more... "Alright! I'm sadly a bit short on funds... But I should make a bit more tomorrow, so is it alright if I come back then?"

"Certainly sir, we are open all week. Best of luck in your endeavors." The man goes off to be ready for other customers.

Zach nods, and hurries back to the pokecenter to pick up his team, consisting of Cass, Raoul, Nat, Frisk, Liz, and Kali. He then quickly made his way to the mall, ready to meet his friends!

When he gets back to the Pokécenter though he finds his friends already gathered there.[Back to main thread]

Adri had been with him at the stall for 2 days, but Zach had it booked up for the whole week, so once again he was on his own, just like the first day. He was just about finishing up setting up when someone approached the stand. "So. It's YOU who has been taking my customers?"

Zach looks up from his work, pausing. "Mmmmmmmaybe?" He is curious who's actually talking to him, as he hadn't heard of anyone choosing his stall over someone else... "My name's Zachary. Nice to meet you." He extends his hand politely, wiping it off on his apron first.

The young man shakes your hand, though with a serious expression on his face. "Gilford. I sell baked goods at the other side of this market. Bit of something on the side during my studies. I noticed you've been here this week, and people seem to like you snacks. What brought you here?" His tone is an odd mix of civil and accusatorial, and he appears to be measuring you up.

Zach grins at Gilford, a fire lit in his eyes. The man wanted a fight, or at least the opportunity to prove himself. They were two of a kind in that regard at least. "Studies, huh? What of? I've got a friend who wants to be a professor, so maybe I can introduce the two of you later! For now..." He grins a bit wider, his look growing sharp with his excitement at the prospect of another challenge. "We're in town on the way to the next gym. We thought we'd take some time to enjoy ourselves here, and I'm planning to open a shop with my winnings from the Elite Four. As long as we're both here, should we make things interesting for everyone?"

Gilfords eyes show a similar fire. "You've read my mind, league-boy. I challenge you! I'm going to show you what my food studies have taught me! Lets see who can cook the best right here!" As if they had been waiting for it, 2 workers take that exact instant to raise and remove the partition that was between your stall and what had been Adri's stall. You see there is already a bunch of cooking equipment there, including you note: a portable oven. Looks like Gilford hadn't been planning on a no.

Zach laughs and lets go of Gilford's hand. "I like the way you think! How would you like to do this then? Best of today, or the rest of the week? Or should we find some judges and have them pick a dish for us?" He nods, wiping his knife off on a clean cloth nearby. A new challenger, and one so fiery, it was getting him so pumper up! "You can show off your food studies, I'll show you my intuition! Food's about the heart first and foremost, after all." He nods, confident in his words. It was something Nurse Joy had told him a long time ago, and it had stuck with him all this time. He'd prove it here, then again, and again, all over the world!

"How's about best of today, confections V. confections! With the stalls like this every customer will have to be choosing between us." He'd planned all of this... it's a good thing you were saying yes, cause it doesn't look like a no is an option. He hops behind his stall, releasing an Oddish and firing up his cooking equipment, ready to start. "So, you ready for this? Customers will be here in a short while."
