Escort missions aren't that bad.

Kuro walked along a small brick pathway that was bordered by a few small stores. She lazily looked into each one with a slight smile, taking delight in the morning breeze that woke her up ever so slightly each time it passed by. The Sneasel let out a light sigh of contentment, considering it was her day off.

And she already had plans to sit back at the small pond, perhaps climb some trees in Pecha forest, and then end the day off with a big piece of pie. Of course that wouldn't go exactly to plan, but that wouldn't bother Kuro much either. A bit of unexpected fun is still fun in her eyes. Making her way to the end of the path, now most of the pokemon had cleared except from one particular pokemon mumbling to herself. And for once it wasn't Kuro.

This pokemon was not crazy like the before mention sneasel. She was just a bit frustrated as she walked along. Let's listen into what this darumaka is muttering! "Dawgone it, ah need someone t'watch mah back while ah focus on gatherin' supplies. Ih ah's not careful, I'll be hit when ah's lookin' at an item an' all mah stuff will be gone! Sh'd ah post a misshun at th' guild? Ah doesn't be hankerin' a whole team follerin'. Jest one will does an' ah won't hafta pay as much..."

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear.. did you say free pie- I mean do you need some help?" Kuro smiled and stopped in her tracks in front of the Darumaka "I have a team of my own aaaand I'm free today. I was planning to head into the nearby forest today anyway, so if you need any items from there.." The Sneasel stopped for a second to catch her breath "Then I'll be happy to help ya, could be fun to get back into gear."

The Darumaka looked the sneasel up and down, sizing her up. She looked a bit skinny, like she needed to bulk up a bit. But those claws could come in handy... "Wal, rude eaves droppin' aside, yessuh. Ah do need he'p a-gonna gather supplies fo' mah shop. Ah plan t'gather as much as postible t'make the dawgoned-est profit." She crossed her little arms. "Here is th' deal, ah reckon. Fo' ev'ry item we colleck, ah will pay yo' twenty poke no matter th' objeck. Th' maximum we will gather will be ten items. Also, ah will pay yo' two hundred fo' yer proteckshun aginst ennyone thet may attack. Shet mah mouth! Thet is mah only offer."

Kuro nodded along, only getting the gist of what the Darumaka was saying. Money. Money and food was what she heard. So Kuro nodded, deciding to help the pokemon out "Sure. Where d'ya wanna go? Pecha Forest usually has lots of berries and items there. Ya know, Pecha Berries." She begun walking "Only 10 items? Why not more?" The Sneasel asked, in her mind it seemed more profitable to get as many items as possible 'the more the merrier!' She thought to herself, although it didn't seem in the right context

"Th' mo'e we carry, th' slower we are. I'd rather git whut ah can an' hoof it wifout bein' targited fo' havin' a lot of stuff ripe fo' th' takin'. Besides, we'd be exhaested eff'n we took too much. No, we jest need ten at most. ah prize mah safety on over mah profit." The fire type looked up at the sky, noting the early time of day it was. "Looks like we c'd haid thar now an' haf plenty of time t'spare gittin' items. Shall we git gwine?"

Kuro nodded "Of course! To Pecha forest!" She begun walking towards the front gates Y'know, your accent ain't that bad. At first I didn't have any idea what you were saying! But now I'm starting to get it. Sorry if I mistake ya words for anything else, I'm not too good with accents." The Sneasel mentioned, not taking care for the Darumaka's feelings, but instead just blurting out whatever came to mind. It was in her nature after all
