Argenport

Done with his work, Eric looked for Neel and Harmon, finding them both in the same place. "Hi! I've got your Pokeballs ready," he said. "So that's three basic ones for you Neel, in return for three Potions and what did you want exactly Harmon? I have a bunch of Great and basic Pokeballs ready."

Mo took his time and went through the blades available bypassing the cheapest ones after inspecting the one to the crude machetes and finding his way over to the more expensive blades that were more like swords.
Mo glance at the gold machete before quickly checking the price do the same for the silver wakizashi. He already knew which one he preferred and a look at his watch said that he had been at the blacksmith long enough.

With that in mind Mo picked up the wakizhi and paid the blacksmith with his compliment on the sword and left to make a quick stop at the general store.

After gathering a number of potions and water bottles, and a berry for his portable planter, Mo headed out to the South Road ready to head into the wild as he'll ever be. Seeing that the other three have arrived at their meeting point, Mo simply nods his head and fold his arms with his new sword strapped to his waist.

Precisely on the hour Magnar walks around the corner, drinking a bright purple drink from a glass bottle.
"Good you're all here." He says, significantly more upbeat than earlier. "First question - who has food and drink for the journey?"
He pauses and smirks when Eric is the onyl one to raise his hand.
"Hm. One in four. A bit better than normal. Second question - Who has money left?"

Eric looked somewhat embarrassed. "I spent everything," he admitted. Maybe buying so much material for the journey wasn't a good idea. Then again had I not given Harmon those Pokeballs for free, I might have had some more money. Oh well, it doesn't matter.

Mo shift his duffle bag uncomfortably when herealized he have forgotten to buy food. "...I have a thousand and a couple hundred credit left..." After a moment thought No tilt his head. "How long would it take us to reach the guild exactly?"

Neel quickly hands over the healing supplies and accepts the trades for them, sticking everything else back in his bag before standing up, and putting it on his back. "I'm ready to go, but just one question. What are the chances of us running into any wild mon on the path?"

Eric sighs in relief when he hears that the guild would cover most basic supplies. He'd been worried that he had made a big mistake. "I'm ready to go," he says, echoing Neel. He shifts a little from one foot to another as he waits for the others to signal their readiness. Eventually he catches himself doing so and stops, relaxing a bit more. 

Not being particularly worried about the possibility of wild Pokemon attacking, Eric zones out a little. He has the utmost faith in his own ability to catch anything that might want to harm him and in Zephyr's ability to fight off any attackers.

"Pretty high." Magnar says as he takes the lead. "The local pokemon regard the road as a curiosity more than anything, but they're learning that it leads to the cities and freshwater. Heck, some of them seem to regard us as opportunities rather than enemies."

Magnar is proved right roughly an hour later as you cross a small stone bridge. Your way is blocked by a trio of Machops, each armed with a small metal club and wearing a metal helmet. Magnar nods and glances at the river below.

"I think this can serve as another test of your abilities. Losing will make you look exceedingly bad." He says, his attention captured by somehting in the river. "Good luck." He says as he dives off of the bridge. A glance behind you reveals your escape has been cut off by a green Pawniard and another club wielding Machop.

"Well, that's lovely. He just leaves us to fend for ourselves. Neel said pulling out the pokeball Magnar had tossed him earlier, and he had spent a small amount of time learning about her. "Come on out Bella, let's see what you can do." As he says this a small slakoth covered in small blackish purple flowers come out of the ball.

"Anyone know what the differences between the Machop and Pawniard we know and these ones are? Aside from the fact it looks like the Machop have learned a thing or two from Timburr?"

Neel: 9
