Prasha Kesiem's Exotic Foods and Sweets.

The next morning for Prasha was very slow. Customers visited and the berries were growing just fine, but Prasha dreamed of some sort of female to walk in and chat with him. Having Zan gone made him feel lonely, yet there were so many locals who already knew Prasha and were daily buyers of his curry.

Prasha closed shop early and headed back to the Tower. The empty space made him feel really lonely so he decided to spruce things up a bit. In the back of one of the containers he had brought even more things from home. Gorgeous Lavander town rugs and elaborate Fusia City Shell sculptures that to his surprise lasted the journey over. He decorated the hallways and stair cases with fine Saffron furniture and remembered the lift.

Prasha measured the Tower's structure and aligned the walls and the floors. He had Nachos punch out the elevator shaft and made sure any wiring was alright and able to use. Prasha was excited this is what he was trained to do. He put on his tool belt and started to make all the walls fit for a beautiful elevator. He knew Zan would be excited, and it was sort of a gift to Zan for his hospitality.


As soon as Prasha had finished the shaft and railings, he headed to Pyron Depot for elevator supplies. Prasha picked up marble from some island in the Hoenn region and metal from another place and had Nachos carry it back to the tower where he set to work on a gorgeous elevator.

Nicole looked around the market place stopping every once in a while at the shops.  Behind her Nero was walking around sniffing the air here and there.  Looking back, Nicole tried to locate him to make sure he was okay.  "Nero, don't go to far alright?  I don't want you to get lost or hurt."  She called to him.  Nero looked over at her before answering with a "Vul.  Vulpix." and went back to sniffing the area.  After a while he ran back over to Nicole and bumped against her legs.

"What is it?"  Nicole asked looking down at him and away from the stall she was about to go look at.  Nero then began to walk a little ways away towards another stand, glancing behind him every once in a while to see if Nicole was following.  Nicole shook her head, but went ahead and followed after him until they reached a red and silver painted stall.

"Is this the place you were wanting to show me?"  She asked looking down at Nero.  "Vulpix!"  He confirmed going up to sniff at the stall.

"Vuuuuuulpix!"  Nero whined trying to get the Machop to leave him alone so he could continue sniffing at the berries.  Meanwhile, Nicole turned her attention to the stall owner.

"Uh...  Hi.  Sorry about Nero, he seemed to really want to come by this stall.  Usually he doesn't do this type of thing."  She said, walking a little closer.  "Nero, come here boy."  She called trying to get the Vulpix to come back over.  Nero looked over at her then back at the stand before running over and dancing around her feet.  "Vuullpix?"  He asked looking back at the stall.  Nicole sighed.  "Alright, alright.  What is it that got your attention?"  She asked following him over to the area where he went back to sniffing the stall.

Nero sniffed at the bar for a moment before moving over to where the Haban berries were and looking at Nicole. "Vulpix!"

Nicole smiled slightly and walked over.  "So this is for sure what you want?"  She asked getting a firm excited nod from the Pokemon.  "Okay.  If you're sure.  I maybe will get some for you."  She said teasingly.  Nero gave his own version of a pout.  "Vuuul."  He whined causing Nicole to laugh softly.  "I'm kidding, Silly."  She assured.  She then turned her attention back to the stall owner.

"I'd like some of the Haban berries please."

"Vulpix!"  Nero cheered taking the bar gratefully.  Nicole smiled at the action before moving to answer stall owner, who she now knew was named, Prasha Kesiem.

"Oh no, the Haban berries are enough.  My uh...  My name is Nicole. I'm from Mauville City in Hoenn.  And you really don't have to do that."  She answered slightly flustered at the fact he was giving her free stuff.  Her eyes then fell on the Machop who had tried to befriend Nero.  "Hey, if you want to try and get him to play again, now would be better than before.  He's not distracted anymore."  She told him watching as Nero finished the bar he had been eating.

Nicole calmed down at the reassurance that it's okay if she doesn't want any of the free curry.  It's not that she wanted to come off as rude or anything... it's just that she would rather pay for things.  Meanwhile, Nero looked over at the re-approaching Machop and gave a small nod and a small "Vulpix..." in apology for what he had done earlier.

When the rest of what Prasha had said caught up she smile slightly.  "Mauville was pretty well known for the Casino and the Cycling Road.  I never really saw the appeal though.  The Desert right outside of town was always much more fun to me.  I spent most of my time there."
