"Even the elevated walkways here were covered in solar panels. No wonder Sunyshore City residents didn't have to pay for electricity."
As Ye Lan walked along Sunyshore City's famous Solar-Powered Skywalk, he marveled at this mechanical city that seemed to run itself around the clock.
They had come ashore on a deserted beach beside the city's seaside market. Early the next morning, Ye Lan and the others had entered Sunyshore City from there.
As they passed the market, Rillaboom took the lead in buying local ingredients. At first, mindful of the team's recent money troubles, Rillaboom had been frugal and needed Leafeon on its shoulder to help haggle.

Leafeon wasn't the best haggler on the team, though. It ranked second to Whimsicott. The little one always managed to say something startling from an odd angle and get what it wanted for a remarkably low price.
Serperior was the worst. All a seller had to do was compliment Serperior's looks or figure, and Serperior would give them a look that said, You have good taste, then pay full price without haggling at all.
Honest Amoonguss wasn't the worst of the bunch. Sincerity was its own secret weapon: Amoonguss always appreciated how hard the vendors worked. After asking the price, Amoonguss would thank them and pay, buying the item as long as the price wasn't unreasonable. That often prompted kindly vendors to give Amoonguss a substantial discount.
