Shop Keeper Hawthorne
There's a scary looking man standing outside a very large cavern. He runs his fingers through his formidable beard before letting out a deep booming laugh. "So ya want ta do some excavatin' huh? I like yer spirit, kid!" his entire massive body erupts into a fit of laughter, "You'll need this," he hands you a mysterious case. "If ya'll be findin' anything down thar, lemme know and I'll be sure ta trade ya some real goodies!"========================
SHASTA RUINS
Here's how it works:
(x) You and another member each venture into the ruins with one of your Pokémon; any number of members may participate in one thread, as long as it's at least two per thread.
(x) You then make at least 10 posts per member detailing what you and your Pokémon are doing below. Digging, looking around, interacting with each other. Use teamwork and be creative.
(x) Post the stats of your digging Pokémon in your first post!
(x) At the end of the dig, you will be awarded shards based on a number of factors. How hard you worked, the level of your pokemon, the details of your thread... Everything matters!
(x) You may only be in one thread per character at a time.
========================
A FEW NOTES
(x) You can only have one Pokémon in the ruins at a time. Choose wisely!
(x) Make sure to notify an admin when you resurface from the ruins to check how much loot you've collected!

Suddenly rich with Shards Gene skips over to the big bearded dude, offering him 60 shards. "Hello, hello! So I took your advice, aaannnddd I have shards! I want to buy the tms for Ally Switch, Rest, and Charge Beam please!" she said with a grin, excited to buy some new things for her Pokémon. Ally Switch - 30 Shards Charge Beam - 15 Shards Rest - 15 shards Total - 60 Shards.

❂ Hawthorne
Hawthrone had his old shabanging radio playing in the background, filling the large Shasta Ruins with nothing but his favorite Country classics. "I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I! Wanna talk about number one, oh my me my!" He happily belted out the tune to one of his favorite Toby Keith songs in his baritone voice, and his voice carried on for miles in the ruins. Some of the working trainers cringed in shock of how loud he was, while others rolled their eyes and continued to work. For those that weren't intimidated by his boisterous singing voice, he was more than willing to make a deal.
There was an invisible force that snatched his TM Rock Tomb and HM Fly, but he didn't pay any attention to those fools. Gene was where it was at, and he kindly stopped singing to give her a chance to speak. "Aha! You're going on a spending spree, are ye? I see I see. C'mere and give me those shards." He opened his mouth as wide as he could, looking as if he was ready to eat them right up. He quickly snapped his mouth closed and gave her a quick laugh, showing that he was joking. Goodness, he hoped she wasn't going to think he was serious there. Once her shards were in his pockets, he took each TM out of his dusty TM case and slipped it on over to her. She worked for him, and suddenly both got what they wanted. This was clearly the start of a beautiful friendship.

Well then, this was definitely a haul Arthur had even though he hadn't been to the ruins in the while and had decided to hoard shards for himself. Yes, he was going to have to wait a few days for what he wanted, but he knew fully well what he needed. It would take a while to get it and he was just whistling a tune on his way through the doors. Looking around at all the wonderful selections and he started trailing a finger along all the polished glass to purposely make smudge marks appear so the bored shop keeper would be able to tend to it. Looking at the hiker of a man, he wasn't scare as his persian followed right in behind him with a haughty walk that most persians had. Suddenly she was sitting beside Arthur as he soon stood in front of the fossils. "Hey, old man, do you have any old ambers left? I heard those are rare and I got the shards to pay for them right here," he said to the hiker and then put the shards on the counter as he walked back to stare at all the fossils on the right side of the building. Ignoring the tms and everything else within the shop since he had a one track mind right now. Tapping his finger idly against the side of his arm for a minute. Then when he was done examining them he waited for the hiker to get back to him, hoping he hadn't sounded too rude at all as Arthur tapped his fingers while waiting patiently.

The big burly man did not like being called old. He was a California Girl, not a girl rugged man. He picked up his big stick when he heard the words and quickly slammed them on the ground. "One more time and you'll be sorry!" He said to Arthur as he took the shards and then went to the back singing his favorite song. When he returned, he tossed the Old Amber to the trainer, not caring if Arthur caught it or not. If not, well too bad it would break and he would get no refund. if he did then good for him. It wasn't the burly man's brother. If Arthur wanted to start trouble with him anyways, well... He was twice the size of him. And twice as strong. -45 shards

After he left the Ruins, Noah approached the burly man near the entrance. He pulled out the sack where he kept his Shards and took out 30 of them.
"Hello. I would like to get an Earthquake TM. 30 Shards will be enough, right?" He said and put the shiny stones into Hawthorne's hands. Earthquake will be a good move for his Electivire, but he could teach it to his new Nidoking too. He will decide later.
30 Shards for TM26 Earthquake

"Yooo ho! Yooo ho! A pirate's life for me!" Hawthorne picked the best time of day to find some of the booze, and it was a lucky find indeed. Another trainer carelessly left their picnic basket behind in the ruins, and the finders keepers rule applied. There were some boring sandwiches and vegetables inside of it, but the alcohol was the main prize. He grinned giddily as he struggled to get the bottle open, and Noah had wonderful timing when he walked on over to make a purchase. "Sure thing, buddy. Open this for me, will ya?" The hiker passed over the bottle of wine as he accepted the 30 shards. TM Earthquake wouldn't be hard to find, but opening that damn wine bottle without breaking it was a real challenge.
He sighed impatiently as he plucked the TM out of his dirty, mud coated collection of discs. Now Earthquake was a popular TM to buy over in these parts, but it was super dangerous to use in the ruins. He was always a little hesitant handing it out to trainers so close to the Shasta Ruins, but no one was stupid enough to use Earthquake over here, right?

Not like there was anything else that interesting to him. After all, this tm would make his team much more stronger and, therefore, much better in the face of the pokemon league and other trainers. "Hey there. May I get TM26-Earthquake please?" He said, holding up the shards to the burly shop man.

"I know a place! Where the grass is really greener. Put in some quakes, and you are all sunk to the water. Sibbing, disaster and fall. There are no more palm trees." He started singing before Tristan walked in to make his purchase. At first, he ignored the guy but after a while he realized that the person wanted an item and he looked up, angry face and everything and he saw the shards on the table. "Earthquake. Watch what you do with it though. That power isn't something everyone can control!" He said as he took the 30 shards and handed off the TM to Tristan

Kyle waltzed over to the man who was looking for shards and smiled before holding out a bag that said 30 Shards on it and said "Hello! I'd like to use these shards to buy...Solarbeam please!" before awaiting the big hiker to accept his request.

TM - Grass Knot [Empoleon] -15 shards. Done already The burly man saw two candidates walk in, one in search of solarbeam and the other grass knot. "Interesting day? Did you plan it together? Both wanting a grass move." He said as he took the shards from both and handed them their respective TM. He didn't mind, shards were shards.

"Oh hello there! I can definitely help you with your purchase!" The burly man said as he collected the 45 shards and gave Abi the HM Cut. That was one of the best exchanges he had made all day. He loved doing things like this where he could get so many shards for such rare items. These type of events made his day/life. "Thank you so much!" He said before he left.

Aaron walked over to the man that would give out TM's in exchange for Shards. He was here for purely business. "Hello. I'd like Bulk Up and Payback." he said as he stood with 30 shards in a bag waiting for the man to give him his request.

"I know a place! Where the shards are really cheaper. Warm, wet, and wild, there must be something in the water. Sipping gin and juice, laying underneath the palm trees-" The burly man turned as he saw the costumer. "Whoops. You heard nothing. There is no place to get shards cheaper! I lied. I lied!" He said as he took the 30 shards and gave Aaron the two TM's he wanted. -30 shards

The old burly man had a whole lot of beard to scratch as the new customers came in to make their purchase. "Thirty shards each? Oh this is just wonderful! Marvelous! Great day! Great day! The grass is greener!" He started to jump for joy and take in everything that was going on. He loved days like this, as 60 shards really get him all hot and bothered. -60 shards
