"If it isn't Flame Lizard," The shop keeper of the item shop, a Nidoking said, taking a box of supplies of a shelf, "My least favorate customer of the village."<br/><br/>"Don't be like that, Vincent," Ryan said, giving the larger pokémon a hard glare as he bumped his hand with his own, "I'm the only one who isn't dumb enough to buy your crap from the pawn shop out back that is suspiciously well stocked with stolen goods meant for other stores."<br/><br/>He grinned as the Nidoking almost knocked the box he placed on the counter onto the floor. Granted, Vincent was well known to be a shady shop owner by the villagers but he was trying to turn his life around. The pawn shop behind his was owned by his former partner, A Graveler named Nikolai, who really had a problem overpricing things. No one really went to the pawn shop as it was known to be a front for criminal activity thanks to him flipping the operation it covered on its head. He did have ties with people in it but he was very discreet in using those connections.<br/><br/>"Oh come on," Vincent said, placing a large package for him on the counter, "I'm not like that anymore, I have kids now."<br/><br/>"I know that, Vinny," He snorted, smoke drifting from his mouth as he kept most of a laugh down as he took the package and opened it, revealing 12 potions, 6 revives, and 4 max restores, that he put in his Rescue Team pack on his back, "That must be why you spoil me with extra supplies when I come through."<br/><br/>"You paid me for half of it, the other half is a goodwill investment so you will continue being a patron in my store." Vincent said, handing him a small box with wrapping paper on it, "Its a charm necklace for your Vulpix friend, tell her it is from you."<br/><br/>Agreeing to, he made his way to the Request Board. He didn't see much, mostly E rank missions. Though a D rank escort mission of a Larvitar to Lively Town for the Pokémon Rescue Team Society through bad territory caught his eye. It would require an answer in 36 hours, something he knew he could do. Making sure no one noticed, he snatched the mission request off the board and ran as fast as he could to Old man Lucario's place so he could talk to Draco about it.
