Fired Up Trader and Wet Behind The Ears Explorer(Closed to Sakura)

It was a usual day in the Grassveil Guild, the guild members chatting, looking up missions, and meeting with their teams. However, there was a visitor among them. A Darumaka named Isabella, Bella for short. She had a pack on her back and a flower on her right ear. She was looking around for someone who could help her. A guild member who was not too busy and would be interested in earning more poke. She spotted an Oshawott who seemed to have nothing to do and was all alone. With a friendly smile, she walked over and waved. "Howdy thar. Mah name is Bella. Ah's lookin' fo' someone t'he'p me gather stock wif me t'sell, ah reckon. I'll pay yo' fo' yer services!"

Ever waited silently, having come back from a mission to find herself alone. Tom and Bo were out, prehaps on a mission of their own, meaning that she would have to wait. Perhaps a day, or two. Sighing she looked outside, the window revealing warm sunshine, a comforting sight over the freezing cold of Frozen Stream she had to endure to retrieve a Charcoal. Remembering the icy lands, she began to shiver slightly, however a voice broke her out of her trance. Turning towards the Darumaka she blinked, "H-huh?" she said trying to comprehend the Pokemon's sudden words. "Ah....Bella are y-y-you sure y-you wouldn't w-want some other Guild Member?" She asked fidgeting. Her nervousness had almost completely disappeared, although traces still came up from time to time. Although she was more confident in her abilities, she still wasn't sure that the merchant (or assuming she was a merchant) would want her.

Isabella gave a big smile and patted Ever on the back firmly. "Ah, yo' need not wo'ry. Its jest a trip t'Pecha Fo'est. ah need t'gather at least ten items so ah can start sellin'. I'll pay two hundred poke fo' yo' t'make sho'nuff ah git them, dawgone it. Howevah, I'll ay an extry twenty fo' etch noo item, dawgone it. I'd say twenty is th' max I'd like t'carry though. Thet adds up t'four hundred at most! Fry mah hide! Yo' kin't say no t'thet, right?" Isabella smiled to the otter, hoping for a yes.

Ever smiled faintly, maybe the Darumaka had some faith in her, "I..guess that's okay." She said as her smile grew stronger. Embarrassedly the Oshawott added "You don't really need to p-pay me though..." (Yes you do /smacked) She said kindly, having just come back from another mission. She indeed needed something to do, but she mainly wanted to help Isabella achieve her dream, "Oh...what kind of shop are you trying to open? Oh y-yeah...I'm Ever, although Pokemon call me Eva sometimes."

(Sorry for shortness/lateness)

"Fiddlesticks! Ah nevah let ennyone thet he'ps me hoof it unpaid o' unrewarded! Yer gonna git paid in full once we return an' thet is thet!" She smiled and crossed her arms as Ever asked her question. "Wal Evah ah's gonna deal in ennythin' an' ev'rythin' ah can find, cuss it all t' tarnation. Of course ah will start small, but bit by bit mah business will grow an' I'll be sellin' only th' finess items in th' wo'ld, cuss it all t' tarnation. These items is only th' beginnin'. I'll be th' bess shopkeeper in th' wo'ld.

Ever smiled, it was wonderful to have ambitions like that. "I-I think t-t-that's great to have d-dreams like that." The Oshawott was suddenly reminded of her own solo ambition, but she pushed it away. "T-thank you m-miss Bella...do you w-want to start right now?" She inquired, shifting from foot to foot.

(I'm sorry this is so late and short oAo))

The round pokemon smiled and nodded to the shy otter. "On account o' yer so eager, whuffo' not?" She patted Ever's back hard yet again with a big grin. "Mebbe eff'n this hyar trip goes fine, ah might ax yo' t'come wif me on these trips mo'e offen. Af'er all, ah need t'find pokemon ah can trest so ah can feel mo'e cornfident about haidin' out further t'git rarer items t'sell, ah reckon. Gotta expan' mah business once ah settle in th' market." She got going, expecting Ever to follow her to Pecha Forest.

Ever felt slightly embarrassed, she was pretty sure she wasn't that good. However she inhaled, and nodded determinedly, "Okay...but only i-if it goes well." The Oshawott didn't want to do a horrible job, but she had to accept...sometimes it happened. She quickly followed Bella to Pecha Forest, silently hoping that she would do a mission good this time.
