Micah waved his hand in a friendly manner, ushering them into the ever expanding shop.

"Come in, come in." Micah said.

The four walked in quietly and began to look around at this famous shop.

It was filled to the brim with weapons of any kind.

Even bizarre ones like maces and lances were available, ranging from dull iron ones to even high ranking divine armaments.

Truly, the person who made them had skill.

Then, they heard a tumbling in the back.

Turning their heads upon hearing the sound, they saw a plain looking girl, an expression of disbelief on her face as she stared at the four.

Micah rushed in,"Boss? You okay?"

The girl waved him away,"It's fine...You're released for the day. Here's your pay."

"Who are you? Answer me!" Arceus shouted, his sword pressing onto the girl's skin.

"Arceus?" Gracie asked in confusion.

The girl laughed indifferently,"Don't blame me for knowing who you were...Blame yourself for not putting on a better disguise."

Arceus' heart froze.

This disguise magic was personally obtained from his Father for the trip.

It was made by a level seven thousand king.

So...How could this girl know?...

Impossible.

"Tell me the truth god dammit! I won't believe your lies!" Arceus snarled at the girl.

"Woah! Arceus! Calm down! She hasn't done anything to hurt us!" Gracie shouted.

"Hey boy." The girl said to Arceus.

Arceus peered down,"What?"
