Lotus nods enthusiastically when the trio agrees. "Fantastic!" she exclaims, clapping her hands once. "Now, your trip to Allogra should take no more than 2 days, I think, if you don't deviate much," she answers Dean. "But like I said, take your time and train on the way. It will be dark pretty soon, so if you don't want to sleep on the road, you can spend the night at the PokéCenter and leave in the morning," she says, opening the door. "The ranches are a much better visit early on, anyway."Guiding the three trainers outside, Lotus extends her hand to shake theirs, respecting Haruka's need for personal space. "I do hope you have fun on your Journey. If you need anything, and I mean ANYTHING, I'll be always available," she says, returning back to her lab and waving to Dean, Haruka and Erica. OOCYou may now go whatever you want.
If you want to spend the night at the Center, it's free and you can leave in the morning, or you can move right now and plan on spending the night on the road again. It's completely up to you. The stores in the city are still open if you plan on buying anything, but not for much longer before they close for the night.
Just so you know, the ranches are about 2 hours due north, while the way to Allogra is to the south.

Dean waves the professor goodbye and then immediately takes out his travel guide once again. he checks the locations of the ranches and Allogra, confirming the suspicion he already had. he pockets the manual and flashes his black card to his traveling companions.
"So ladies, I don't know about you two but I plan on doing some shopping with this bad boy. I just checked the manual and I see that mr. Herman's ranch is about two hours away and is in the opposite direction as Allogra. With what the professor said, I think it might be a good idea to wait till tomorrow morning to visit. Maybe we can get some training in on the way there. So what do you say we spend some of this Mula?"
He tries and uses his most upbeat tone, hoping he can distract Both haruka and Erica enough for them to at least be civil towards eachother.

Haruka nods along as the professor talks, then returns her handshake when it's offered. She inclined her head as she spoke, "Thank you, Professor! I think we'll do fine from here." Haruka then thinks about what exactly to do with the money she got. She could just save it, but... she did have something that she wanted to buy and this pushed her over and then some. She wasn't willing to spend all of her money without having a little to use in a pinch, but she definitely had enough for what she wanted to do now.
Haruka nodded as Dean spoke, "Yes, I think that's a good idea. I wouldn't want to travel in the wilderness in the middle of the night, especially when we have a place to stay here." She glanced at her own card, "And... I do suppose I have a few things I want to go back and get with this windfall that I couldn't before..." This would be a good chance to start on getting supplies for the berries she wanted to try growing. They'd be useful as bases for the recipes she knew, after all.

Well I guess we can deal with that in the morning then...
Erica looks over to Haruka for a moment. She barely gave Erica a look since they met back up, not really even saying a word to her. She looks away and sighs. Depite Dean's plea, she's not about to openly 'ask' for Haruka's approval. She doesn't need it. The Shrine Maiden will have to be the first to say anything, because as far as Erica is concerned, she was always in the right and Haruka just spat on her ideals without anything but some light excuses. So Erica will keep her mouth shut until then.
As it seems they have their open time, she pulls out her dex and the little piece of paper she was given earlier. If they are going in the morning, then maybe she should bug him before they leave...
Hey Theo this is Erica. The tech girl from earlier? Do you still want some pointers? I've got something to make if you want a hand in and you can see how I work. Lmk

Erica sends her message while Dean and Haruka discuss their options. The reply comes a couple of minutes later.
"Yeah, I'd like that. You have a place? I'm still at the store but I can meet you. Or you can come, I have a small table at the back where I work my stuff. Up to you."
Seeing as her companions seem to have already decided on the stores, Erica decides to tag along. She would probably have privacy with Theo anyway while the other two buy their things.
The trio moves back to the stores, heading first to the grocery the girls visited before. The matrony woman is behind the counter as before while Theodore tries to disguise his excitement, failing spectacularly with his quick and not-so-subtle side glances.
"Oh, hello back!" she salutes almost as if she was expecting you while Theodore give a fake surprise smile, "Glad to see you again. You've arrived just in time! We were about to close if not for some very uncommon insistence on staying open late," she smiles as Theodore go red.
"No idea what she's talking about," Theodore quickly says, making his mother giggle. "Hi! So... What you wanted to show me?" he asks Erica trying to look cool.
"I think the correct question here is 'how can we help you?', isn't it, Theodore?" his mother says in a joking way. "Is there anything else you need? Or are you just accompany your other friend?" she smiles to Dean.

I don't really have a place so yeah, the store will do fine. Cya there.
Erica follows the other two in silence until they get there. Once Theo and his mom speak, Erica goes over to him and puts an arm on his shoulder. If he was trying to keep this quiet, Erica ruins that by not toning her volume down at all.
"You show me where that table is, I'll show you how my tech process works. Maybe it'll help ya, maybe it won't, we'll see if you can keep up."

Haruka walked to store, mostly in silence, observing the town as it begun getting later. It was... even quieter than it was during the day, if that was possible. At least in her village, there were always the sounds of nature nearby since the forested sides of the mountains were always close, but... here was a little different. She also thought about how exactly to approach Erica. She... didn't seem like she was going to make the first step, which Haruka couldn't blame her for. Though, that left her to think about how exactly to bring it up... which seemed like an insurmountable obstacle. Before she made much headway, she found herself in front of the store she had been in earlier today. Ah well, a problem for later. As she entered, she smiled at the woman at the counter. Though the interaction with Theodore made her a little curious. Huh... Erica did actually go through with it, hmm... She hadn't seemed super enthused when they had left, but... well... Assuming things hadn't gotten her far anyway. She turned to address the store owner, "Ah, well... I came across a sudden windfall, so I came to pick out a few things I couldn't afford before. Sorry for showing up so late, but we have an early start tomorrow and... I'll be right back with them, I remember where they are, so I won't keep you open any longer than need be," Haruka said with a slight bow of her head. With that, Haruka dashed off to grab two of the smaller portable planters than she had seen earlier as well as a spare Cheri Berry before returning back to the front counter. She placed her purchases down on the counter before taking a moment to catch her breath. "Just these, please. Sorry again for showing up so late..."Haruka buys two discount Portable Growers and a Cheri Berry for 1350 poke.

Upon entering the store, Dean couldn't help but feel a bit.... disappointed. This was more of a grocery store then anything else. When the lady welcomed them he gave a quick nod and mumbled a 'thanks for having us' before he started browsing the shelves. He doesn't find exactly what he's looking for, but he does pick up a few packets of baby food. They were probably not as good as the freshly made ones by Haruka, but it would be good to have them just in case. On his way to the counter he also grabbed a Pecha berry, replacing the one he'd used earlier. He approached the lady at the counter and placed the baby food in front of her. "I'm looking for some specific Pokémon food as well, is that something I could buy here? If not, do you know of a place that offers this kind of service?"Dean buys the following: 1 Pecha Berry for 150 3 packets of baby food for a total of 300 1 salty surprise for 300 1 spicy wrap for 300 1 sour candy for 300 1 dry wafer for 300 Total would be 1650

Theo goes even redder when Erica hugs him, crossing his arms. "Do your worst," he says trying to sound confident before turning back around to guide Erica to the back of the store, while her mother raises an eyebrow but says nothing. He opens a door and goes through a corridor to get into a well-lit but small room with a large working table full of mechanical parts. Dozens of different tools hang on the walls, and some bookcases have a few books and incomplete devices, most unfamiliar to Erica. "Well, this is it. Not much, I know, but it works," he says a bit ashamed of the place. "What are we gonna make today?"Back in the store, Theodore's mother nods as both Haruka and Dean excuse themselves to look for their stuff. "Don't worry about the time, dear. There's no rush," she speaks in a loud voice as Haruka hurries to gather her stuff. Just as Theo had shown earlier, she easily finds the smaller growers before moving to the berry section, crossing path with Dean who was getting some food as well. They both return to the store entrance at the same time, dropping their purchases on the counter. "Nonsense!" the woman says as Haruka mentions the time once more. "It's a pleasure to have you in our store at any time," she says, quickly counting the items when Dean asks her about specific delicacies. "Oh, yes, I make them myself," she answers. "But I believe we have nothing fresh right now. If you tell me exactly what you want, I can have it done by tomorrow morning, it that's ok." Having agreed on that, Dean starts telling what he'd like and she suggests a series of ingredients that would accomplish that, to which Haruka listens closely. It seems the woman really does know how to cook, and when she has all it needs from Dean, she collects their cards to pay for their things. "Thank you very much, darlings, By 7 a.m. tomorrow your request will be ready," she says, handing the duo two bags with their purchases, before leaning in to ask in a conspiratory low voice: "Now, would either of you know exactly what is Theo doing with the young lady in the back of my store? Should I be worried or happy?" she asks with a huge grin. EricaI don't know exactly what you'll make, but Theo is able to keep up with your explanations quite well. As a matter of fact, he even suggests some things as you two work, things he learned in his own projects, that make things either easier or quicker. He also provides his own parts from time to time, taking them from the table or drawers, reducing a bit of the cost.
You can build anything you want here with a 10% discount on the prices as if you were under the effect of a DIY Engineering Book Rank 1.

Haruka placed her purchases in her bag as Dean spoke about dishes he would like to be made for his pokemon to affect their battle performance. She paid close attention as they went over the supplies necessary for such snacks, mentally filing them away for later. Maybe she could give it a shot, see how it came out. She'd probably need a bit of practice, but it didn't sound too hard... Though... she supposed she should look at the task of trying to grow berries first. She knew the basics from watching what those who worked the land around her village did. She had to help out every once in a while during harvest season, after all, so... she didn't think it'd be a stretch to try out growing things. And even if it didn't work exactly as she hoped, she did have that word of power she could use.
Haruka cocked her head as the woman asked a question about Theo. She did know what he was doing but... maybe he wanted to keep it secret? He seemed to not want to share it with anyone else as of now... "Ah, no, you shouldn't be worried. Erica is just helping him out with a hobby of his that might serve him well if he goes out on a pokemon journey," Haruka said after some thought, thinking it was the best middle ground between discretion and helpful.
She fidgeted as they waited for Erica to be done with whatever was going on back there. Well... she guessed that teaching Theo how to build something would probably take a lot longer than her quick shopping trip. As she waited, she thought some more about her current tension with Erica, then got an idea. "Hey, um... Dean? Would you mind going on ahead and getting us rooms over at the pokemon center? I'll stay behind to tell Erica where you went and... I kind of need to talk to her alone for a bit. Is that alright?"

"Oh I will, boy. You better be ready to pay attention."
Erica is led to the back to see his little shop and nods in approval.
"Eh it's better than I had. I wouldn't worry about it. Now then."
Erica sets out her tools and parts and begins to work on the table. First, she decides on making a straight up pokeball. She goes through the steps, and notes that Theodore chips in with parts and seems to know some stuff already. Erica's a bit impressed. When the ball is done, she tilts her head and looks at him.
"You said you didn't know much but you only seem like a couple steps behind where I'm at. After this, I'd advise you to look up these video series tutorials I found early on. Guy's a bit dry, like a teacher, but you get to pause him when you want which I guess you can't do in real life. But that's for later. Now... onto the real shit. Time to show you my specialty. Pokeball cases."
Erica begins taking out parts to put together a Medicine case.
"I got one of these already but I think I could use a second as my options for trainer battles are a bit... limited. These cases have been my lifeblood. They basically are plug-in... or I guess 'on' would be a more appropriate term... But yeah, plug-in mods for pokeball cases. This one auto-uses a healing item upon recall."
Going over it more thoughoughly than just the straight up pokeball, Erica goes step by step over the item. After a bit, Erica's got a 2nd medicine case.
"Alright. Think you learned anything?"

Dean pays for his purchases and nods at Haruka's request.
"I'll head over to the center and get our rooms sorted. After that, I think I'm going for a little walk."
He waves everybody in the store goodbye and walks over to the pokémon center, hoping rooms would still be available.

Dean After saying good-bye, Dean leaves the store heading to the PokeCenter. The night is cool and pleasant, with a big starry sky above him as he makes his way through the quiet town. There's almost no one on the streets at this time, but almost every house has a light on. He arrives at the Center and Rose salutes him with a smile. In just a few minutes r has arranged the rooms, three single bed small chambers in the back of the place with a communal bathroom. Although small, the room is comfortable with a soft bed and sheets, a small TV and temperature control. Having left the keys for the others with Rose, Dean is free to sleep. Erica The work was great and Theo really seems to know a bit. He's agile with the parts and make acute questions about certain connections and pieces Erica uses, always understanding the explanations right away. Those were more common as they build the case, as it's clearly a new concept to him. As they finish the devices, Theo smiles at Erica's question. "Maybe a thing or two," he says, buy his grin makes it clear he's just joking. "No, seriously, thanks so much for the help. I'll watch the videos you recommended, but I already got an idea I want to try out," he tells the girl with a smile. "That thing with the magnetic compressor will be very handy."He leads the girl out through the corridors. "I hope we can still stay in touch," he says with his back to Erica as they leave his workshop. "But like, just calling sometimes or whatever," he quickly adds once again trying to sound casual. He opens the door back into the store and Eric is surprised to see that Haruka is still there by the counter, drinking some hot beverage. Haruka "Oh, of course!" Theo's mother exclaims in response to Haruka's explanation. "She told me she built her own pokeballs, so I should have guessed Theodore would be interested. They share an interest and she's beautiful and, well," she says lowering her voice to whisper to Dean and Haruka, "he's at that age, of course." She giggles to herself and goes behind the counter for something, just as Haruka and Dean say good-bye and part ways. Alone with Theodore's mother, Haruka feels a bit uncomfortable but the woman is all smiles. "Now, dear, if we're going to wait together, might as well do it over some tea, don't you think?" she asks, rushing to the back of the store before Haruka Can even answer. She stays by the counter, watching the night fall in Etaoin through the window and admiring the silence before her company returns a few minutes later with a tray. She serves Haruka a small cup of steaming tea and puts a bowl of homemade cookies on the counter. "It's sweet lily tea and Aspear cookies with cocoa chips. Help yourself, dear," she offers, taking a sip of her own tea and biting a cookie. Hard tries it and it's, honestly, delicious. The tea is sweet, buy strong, and the sour cookies add some beautiful contrast. The two enjoy their tea in silence, the older woman working a bit behind the counter until Erica and Theodore suddenly erupt from the back door with smiles on their face, which obviously only makes his mother grin.

"Well I was gonna tell ya that your magnetic creation would make an excellent levitating case for trainers prize items like badges and such. I've known a few people who would be all over that. If anything, it's a good way to make money out on the road. Keep that in mind."
Erica at first rolls her eyes at the comment about staying in touch, as she's not sure how 'in touch' he wants to be with her, but finally she relents.
"Yeah, sure. Maybe I'll want an apprentice in the future and have to take you on. Haha."
She walks out with him to see his mom and...
Ah shit.
Haruka seems to have waited for her, so it seems it's talking to round 2 apparently. Erica turns to him once again, ignoring the issue at the moment.
"Well anyway, just keep my tips in mind. You'll be fine when you get to become a trainer. From what I've seen anyway, it's rather easy for us techies."

Haruka nodded to Dean gratefully as he agreed and settled down to wait for Erica to be done in the back. She listened to the woman and flushed as she mentioned the possibility of Theo being interested in Erica. "I um... I don't know if..." Haruka stammered before hanging her head slightly and sighing. She was pretty sure Erica wasn't interested in that sort of thing, but her experiences dealing with the aunties and grandmothers in the village told her she wouldn't have much of a chance of discouraging this. The woman darting off to grab tea and cookies let Haruka have a few moments to compose herself and accept the drink politely. The tea and cookies were good, but she honestly expected the flavors to be reversed, with the cookies being sweet and the tea sour. It was interesting... "Thank you for the tea ma'am, it is very good," Haruka said, inclining her head slightly to the woman.
Haruka continued to sip at the tea until the sound of a door opening drew her attention to Erica and Theo returning to the front of the store. Haruka's lips twitched as Erica distinctly turned away from her, she felt a bit stung. Though... perhaps she deserved it after what she had said earlier. She stood up and bowed toward the shopkeeper, "Thank you for your time, and the tea! I won't keep you any longer."
She then turned to Erica feeling a little uneasy. But... if she wanted to fix this, now wasn't the moment to feel this way! She gathered herself and began to speak. "Dean went ahead to get rooms at the pokemon center, so I thought I'd stay behind and... pass that on," Haruka managed to get through before trailing off. She winced slightly, she couldn't stop now! "And I um... also have some things I need to talk to you about... and apologize about on the way there, if you'll listen," she said a bit haltingly. Well... it was said. Now all there was to do was wait for her response...

Haruka gets up and addresses her and Erica is silent for a moment.
"Alright then. Let's go so we can hash it out not in a place that's been nice to us."
She waves back to Theo and his mom before following Haruka out.
"...Go ahead."

As Erica left, Haruka stopped to bow once to Theo's mother. "Thank you once again for your hospitality!" she said before giving a slight wave and following Erica out. She had been planning on talking on the walk back anyhow as to not inflict their argument on the nice woman at the shop. She led the way toward the pokemon center, gathering her thoughts as she determined what exactly she should say. After a few moments of walking in silence, she began to speak. "So... first I need to apologize for what I said earlier. I felt like you were brushing me off entirely and I... lost my temper. I said some things I shouldn't have and I apologize for that. It was... very rude of me to assume those things of you and... I don't actually think those things of you. So um... I'm sorry."
Haruka breathed in and out to steady herself before continuing. "I um... I thought I should also clear up that I don't think anything is wrong with using your ah... modifications? I'm not actually entirely sure how you refer to them... They're just a tool that trainers can use and like any tool or power, it doesn't have any inherent morality in it. It's the person who uses it which determines if it's used for good or ill," she said with a nod, "I'm... still concerned about who you might sell such things to since even if you can abuse pokemon without such things, it still isn't a good idea to give people like that more tools with which to do... stuff... with. Like... there's nothing wrong with a knife, but you wouldn't want to give one to someone that has proven to have anger problems and lack qualms unleashing their anger out on others. You know? That's all I was worried about."
Haruka shivered slightly and clutched her arms around herself. "Anyway... that's all I wanted to say. I'm sorry and to just... explain my side of things. New things can be... scary... I should know that more than most... And maybe I'm just overthinking what sorts of things the cases can be used for since I've never seen anything like them before," she finished. She let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding as she waited for Erica's response. She felt a little... deflated after talking about all those things. Hopefully she would understand... or at the very least, accept the apology.

"The main problem is that you were brushing ME off."
Erica stops and massages her temple, clearly annoyed.
"I didn't think you had a problem with my items. But when I brought up a legit argument you were basically just like 'No you are wrong and I am right' and I didn't feel like I had any reason to stay and hash it out so I left."
She sighs heavily.
"So I'm just going to say this and if you still disagree and can't see my point then let's just drop it and agree to stay out of each other's business. Alright? So here's the thing. Let's say I was going to sell to the two crazier guys back there. I wasn't aiming for them, but 'lets say'. Only one of my cases, the lock case, can actually be used in that way. Everything else is pretty tame. A Med-case, one I just showed Theo there, just applies a medicine to a recalled pokemon. Harmless. So I could have easily sold them something that wouldn't do shit to anybody."
Erica shakes her head.
"But like I said, I wasn't going for them. Was going for the two more sane people. But let's address the example you gave. What seller checks the mental state of someone walking in and buying a knife? You can get them in a shop, no problem. You said that those that allow things like that to happen are as bad as those who actually do it. But if I went into that main shop, bought a repel, and went and sprayed it in the eyes of a pokemon; that'd be abuse, wouldn't it? Would the shopkeeper be at fault for selling me a basic item? No. I'm just trying to say, assholes are going to be assholes and they'll find a way to do what they want. My Lock cases are just techy versions of an actual cage, or hell, wrapping shipping tape around a pokeball."
Erica keeps on walking.
"I don't know, just keep that in mind."

Dean quickly inspects his rooms and throws off his pack and takes off his shoes. Even though he'd traveled a lot in the past, it was quite a while ago and his feet were kind of sore. The thought of going on a nightly Pokémon hunt were replaced with the prospect of a nice warm shower. While the hot streams of water were hitting the back of his head, Deans thoughts were with his traveling companions. He sure hoped they would reconcile as it would make the following time a lot more enjoyable. Deciding not to intervene any more than he already had, Dean stepped out of the shower and got ready for bed. He set his alarm for 5 AM, hoping to do some training before the girls woke up. He liked to train by himself if he could, as there would be a lot less distractions.
Before switching off the lights he wrote both Erica and Haruka a short text.
"Hey there, your room keys are with Rose at the front desk. The showers are great by the way. What do you say we meet up for breakfast at 7? X Dean"

Haruka looked flabbergasted at Erica's first statement. Had she really done that? She didn't think she had. She bristled a bit at the accusation about it, but shut down a retort as Erica kept talking. She listened then thought about her words as they walked to the pokemon center. Well... Haruka could see the point she was trying to make, but it was still very... fatalistic. She guessed she didn't have a problem with Erica selling things in general, but she still thought that there needed to be some responsibility in choosing who exactly to sell to. Even a clerk at a store wouldn't sell a knife to a child for instance. If you just accepted bad things would happen and just sold whatever to whoever... Haruka couldn't imagine the consequences.
As she thought over Erica's words, Haruka eventually found herself in front of the pokemon center. Haruka walked in and greeted Rose, before grabbing a key for a room that Dean had apparently left behind. She paused before she left to head off to her room. She should... probably say something to Erica after that. "... So... I've given it some thought and... while I can see the point you're making, I... don't entirely agree with a few points. I'd say which but... I'll respect your wishes and drop it for now," Haruka said carefully, "Anyway, um... goodnight."
Haruka gave Erica one last nod before heading into her room. It was nicer than a lot of the places she had ended up spending the night in, having a real bed and all. She was fine with camping, but beds and air conditioning were preferable, especially in a warm region like this. Haruka settled in for the night, taking a brief shower, before getting ready for bed. She took out her pokedex and fiddled with it for a while before managing to find the alarm function and setting it for hopefully 5:45. She needed a bit of time in the morning to get ready and would hopefully have a little bit of time to train before meeting with Dean at 7. With everything ready for the next day, Haruka turned off the lights and got into bed.
