He'd only been in Hoenn less than twenty four hours, only one night, before he was already at the mall. Not because he just had to check out all of the local fashion, but because he didn't bring shit with him besides the bare necessities all stuffed into a worn backpack. He needed more than one pair of underwear, to put it bluntly, and the mall seemed like the best place to go and get everything all at once.

Walking out of a store with a bag in hand, he made his way to the food court after his stomach gave a rather demanding roar of starvation. He didn't have much money left, but maybe there was something he could afford. Groceries would certainly be a better choice, but he was hungry now.

Falling into line behind others that seemed to also choose what appeared to be the cheapest food stall in the mall, Pierce counted out his last few dollars before studying the menu, since he could clearly see it over everyone elses head being so damn tall. Once it was his turn, he ordered a large side of fries and looked for a free table after grabbing some ketchup. When he couldn't find one, he found an empty bench nearby and sat down to devour his fries as politely as his raging stomach would allow.
