Zach shakes his head. Rather than asking what she thought, maybe it'd be better to just prove he was valuable to the team. "Just asking what spice you think I should use today. I figured it out on my own."

Zach thinks he sees a furry tail slinking away between two stalls further down the row.

Zach perks, looking towards the tail. "Hey Adri... watch my stall a second." He puts up a small sign, noting for Cass to follow him as he began to chase the tail.

As Adri sees Zach running off somewhere she receives a text "Just heard the King. Danny wants to go catch it. NEED BACKUP"

"Mou, why is everyone chasing things now!" pouted Adri. She couldn't leave her stand, not after paying for it!
She quickly texted back at Conner, telling him to wait for some proper scouting and preparation. Arcanine were very strong, and she would not condone chasing one without proper preparation.

Zach runs through the pathway to where he saw the cat- he's pretty sure it was a small gray cat -disappear. Sure enough he sees it casually strolling through a space in between the back of some stalls. He could make an acrobatics check to try and run through, or an athletics check to run around the outside and try to outrun it to the other side.

Zach grumbled, knowing he wasn't quite athletic enough to squeeze through, and worried he might not beat it there. Then a thought occured to him. If he couldn't get there first, why not just make sure it'll still be there when he does? He quickly pulls a piece of bait from his pocket and tosses it, hoping it'll land just past the stalls as he begins to make his way around. Bait AC check Spending AC EjpnS7kF1d20+1

Adri: A college-aged looking guy is suspiciously looking over you store. He's wearing glasses and his white shirt is untucked.
Zach: As you make your way around the stalls you hear a loud "Caw", a swooshing sound, a hiss and then a thump. When you get around the stalls you see that the gray Cat and a black Crow are fighting over the bait you threw. The cat looks in a bad way already, with 2 visible cuts, and has dropped the spicy treat it stole from your stand. It looks like it is about to try to bolt. [You used your shift action to get to where you can see what's going on, you can use the rest of your turn as you please]

"Good day, sir! How may I serve you?" said Adri as Tyrell came to lay on her head.

"Oh, so I have a few contests planned today and I wanted to get me Pokémon as pretty as possible. You have any recommendations?" He fidgets a little as he asks.

Zach looks them over, shaking his head. So these pokemon were just hungry... And now they were fighting over food? A quick memory played before Zach's eyes, of scrapping with some wilds over scraps of food before the Pokecenter took him in. He didn't want that to happen to anyone else. He had to stop this fight first though... And the best way to do that was to LITERALLY get in the middle of it. He'd cover for the cat, as it seemed more injured, and figure out how to get them calmed down. Next turn, intercept to block attacks on the cat.

"Well, it really depends on the type of contest. Tough contests might not appreciate the bath as much, since a rougher brushing or a good oil massage with a strong smoke smell can enhance the theme much better. Beauty contest will get progressively better results the more grooming, but a full trio is the most expensive since I need to pay for the oils, secented soaps and other materials I use for them. Cute can benefit from a trio as well, but a brushing and bath combo should give great results anyways. Smart depends a lot on the theme you want to go for, while cool would enjoy a bath and massage and i'd let the pelt take a natural daring shape using my hairdryer. Overall I can work any individual part of the grooming to fit whatever theme you want" answered Adri.
She pulled out her notepad and one of her pens.
"What pokemon do you want to enter, to which contests, and do you have any theme you wish to play at?" she asked, buisness mode fully engaged.

Zach dashes forward, trying to take the attack for the cat! "You two need to stop fighting! I can make food for both of you!" He says, maybe a bit too loudly as his feet pound the earth, trying to place himself in harms way for a complete stranger.

Zach arrives just behind the crow as it sends the cat flying across into another stall. The owner starts yelling about damn Pokémon in the market. Zach is able to see it not getting up.

"Stunky will need some scented oils and similar to mask the smell, unless you plan on using it in your favor. I'll try to get the pelt to puff in a way that looks looming and strong without looking bad, and some sandalwood oil should give a nice starting spice note. It should be strong enough to peter the stench yet weak enough that you'd be able to make use of it as a surprise shock. A brushing and massage should be enough, though I will clean it of dirt and similar at the start of the grooming" started Adri "Flabébé can go for either a trio or a brushing and bath combo, whatever you decide. I'll do some composition with the host flower if she lets me, and some well-placed color accents should magnify her cuteness. I was thinking a flowery scent, that matches the host flower. For the Pidove I'm thinking some smoked eucalyptus scent, which fits the breed and should give a sense of daring. If it knows quick attack, we could have it perform it twice or so to shape the direction of the feathers after the bath and massage are done. I'll straighten the feathers and some nice accents alongside the eyes should sharpen the face shape to make it look slightly more like a preybird"
She shrugged.
"That would round up to 2150 Poke without the trio or 2350 taking the trio. If not, there's always the individual prices"

Zach freezes, rage boiling over inside of him. He stares at the bird, his knife at his hip as he approaches it. In the blink of an eye, his fist lashes out, a pokeball expanding within his palm to attempt to strike the bird!

The ball slams right into the birds startled face and disappeared in a beam of red light that looked angrier than usual. The ball can barely tremble in Zach's vice-grip, or not much more than he himself is shaking. Proud Male Murkrow, 140 exp, Insomnia ability, Astonish, Peck, Pursuit, Haze moves; 24 exp for Zach to distribute "...id. Hey, I'm talking to you." It occurs to Zach that someone is yelling in his direction.

Zach comes down from his emotional frenzy, looking around for the source of the voice. He also looks towards the cat, worry obvious on his face. "Yes? I'm sorry, I was a bit out of my head... How can I help you?"

Adri: Yeah sure lets go for the whole trio. How long do you need? I'll fill tiem wanderign aroudn the market.
Zach: The voice happens to be in the direction of the cat, the owner there who was yelling about damn Pokémon" He is now yelling "What are you doing tossing bait around here? There's enough pests here already without inviting them!"
