Snippet #1781

[Tsukai Amai] The boy stopped playing his guitar when Tsukai approached with her money. Smiling, he took the money and looked at it. It was the most money he'd seen in a while. "Thanks!" he said, extremely grateful. He emptied his pockets and his face momentarily lit up, as though he had just realized something extremely important. Then he turned back to Tsukai.

"I make Poffins out of the Berries that grow in Viridian Forest. It's kind of a unique mix every time..." His gaze was shifting, as though he wanted to ask something but didn't know how. "Um, listen... my name's Joey. Joey Hunter... are you headed out toward Johto? You just gave me enough money for me to get supplies to start travelling to Ecruteak City... that's my 'world tour'... I really wouldn't mind a friend." He grinned winningly, and the Shinx stepped forward, pleading in a way.
