After going through what appeared to be a labyrinth of roads, the paths eventually converged and unveiled the piazza. Flocks of pigeons gathered everywhere; their numbers delighted foreigners as they huddled around the birds, and either fed them crumbs of bread, or took photographs. The visitors’ inclination towards the pigeons differed from the locals’; the birds were considered nuisances, and treated as such. A sea of people, of all ages and ethnicities, filled the square. Most were sightseers from all corners of the world; after all, it was a renowned tourist attraction, and was often visited at this time of the year. At least that's what Ritsuko thinks anyway, the girl wore a white dress with dark brown lining and markings on it. Around her neck is a light blue choker with a single white stripe in the middle and blue gem/badge in the center. She also wore power blue sandals with a white ribbon around in her right leg resembling a bandage.
Regardless Ritsuko wanted to use this opportunity to train her pokemon and sell this luxurious big pearl her sandshrew found on the sand back in Bryilla Coast, hopefully get a couple of dians in her pocket for some essential items. After walking a block or two, she suddenly halted before a jeweler's shop. Arrayed in the window were priceless gems that shone in the glare of electricity, like mystical serpent-eyes--green, pomegranate and water-blue. So with a smile on her face she walked into the store and saw a couple of people inspecting various rings, watches, and all other objects to purchase or sell to various customers. One in particular was open as it was an old man with a typical senile build, lanky arms, lots of wrinkles, and with a speckle of grey hair to boot.
Ritsuko would approach the man calmly and with a smile "Yes. I would like to sell this pearl I found within Bryilla Coast. Ritsuko would tell the shopkeeper as she pulled out the pearl from her bag before placing it on the table for the jeweler to inspect carefully as she glanced at the various jewelry within the store."Hmm..very interesting. And you said you got this from Bryilla Coast correct? the shopkeeper would ask Ritsuko once more; the shopkeeper would then put the pearl on a measuring scale which specifically measured the objects diameter in millimeters and considering the fact that many pearls around Godai vary in size and shape it would deterimine its value. As the average pearl can be smaller than 1mm, while the big pearls which Ritsuko had just gave could be as large as 20mm, If all other quality factors are equal, the size of a pearl will determine its value. Only a 1 millimeter increase in pearl size will be a substantial jump in both appearance and value. The importance of a pearl's size to its ultimate value depends on the pearl type. If a high quality pearl is larger than usual for its type, it will be worth more than smaller pearls of the same type.
After all that he gestured Ritsuko to come over to the cash register as he counted the correct amount and looked at Ritsuko with a firm look on his face This pearl you gave me is a marvelous find indeed, I can give you a total of 3,750 dians. He said to the girl as he gave the girl the money and waved her a goodbye. Have a great day madam. he said as Ritsuko left the store.
