After a quick ride on your trusty bike, you find yourself browsing the local market stalls. It’s located inside a large building that resembles a large, open warehouse. Inside, independent vendors sell their wares on little stalls. You can find almost anything here, from groceries, berries, herbal medicines items like Energy Roots, and even TMs that may or might not be defective or unreliable copies.
There should be everything you need for Houndour’s diet here, and If you play it smart, you can save some bucks compared to going to a normal supermarket, you just have to be mindful of not getting ripped off or pickpocketed, but you’ve lived here in Silverpoint long enough to avoid this mishaps.
Sundown is approaching so you must be fast, as the market won’t stay open for much longer. To avoid trouble, you’ve left Houndour on standby once again, just outside the market. The place is loud, and bustling. With crowds of people browsing the myriad of stalls, the vendors all shouting to gather the attention of potential customers.
After a quick browse, you find the best deals for everything you need.
If you cut some corners here and there, you can gather the ingredients for easy-to-digest, chock full of nutrients meal for about $2,000 for a week’s worth of food.
If you want to splurge, with more potent ingredients that could speed up her recovery like Milktank’s milk and Chansey Eggs, that will cost you $1,500 extra.
You also find the specialized food that the nurse at the Pokémon center recommended to you. The cheapest brand is $2,500 and it seems to last a week.
There are also some more unorthodox ingredients prebiotics and fermented foods. Those were mentioned in one of the books you read in the library. These foods are supposed to help increase the microbiota that produces the flammable gases that Houndour uses for her fire-type moves. According to what you’ve read, feeding her these foods could improve the power behind her attacks, but it didn’t go in-depth about how to prepare it, so you’ll have to improvise. If you choose to buy this ingredient it would be another $1,000
