Having spread the word throughout Ash City by going to the Rangers' Guild there, Shalin felt it was time to move on. In Southeast Arciel, there were a lot of very small towns where the word about the attacks might still not have spread. Second, the brave yet affectionate Queen Zing had warmed up to Shalin nicely after some of the dreadful encounters Flit had saved her from in the Weeping Forest. She took Caprice to the Rangers' Outpost southeast of the city, which turned out to be a small towm in roughly the middle of nowhere.
Once she arrived, the blonde had found out how very small the place was. It was so small that it was arguably more a village than a town. Thankfully, there was still a tanner - the only one in town. Before entering, she released Queen Zing. "Alright, girl, hold still - before we go into town I need to put these on you." She pulled out three soft, plastic spheres with soft foam inside them, a large hole in the plastic on one side. It was almost like packing foam, but a little softer and porous as to keep the stingers ventilated. Two were about twice the size of her fist; the third, about three times the size of her fist.
"Now, raise your hands for me, would you?" She gulped as the giant Beedrill pointed both her front stingers directly at her trainer. While she knew the giant hornet wouldn't hurt her trainer, it was still intimidating staring them down. Her arms shaking, she carefully pushed the open end of the foam shields onto each of them, one at a time. She stepped around to the Pokémon's rear. "Now, mind raising your back for me?" Her companion raised her deadly rear barb to roughly Shalin's chest level as she took the largest foam shield and gently pushed it into place, covering its most potent weapon.
The Beedrill successfully pacified, the two headed for the lone tanner shop in town, Shalin headed to get Queen Zing fitted for riding. The shop owner gave Shalin the stink eye before serving her as she browsed for the kind of gear she wanted. The girl opted for something with a slightly oversized seat, given how much her Yanmega's more tightly-fitted seat rattled her around when he really got going.
She thought about getting Flit's gear refitted here as well, then decided against it when she saw the prices. These harnesses were really expensive! She wouldn't be coming back here again, but she did need to get Queen Zing fitted. Though the Beedrill was well-behaved, Shalin couldn't help but overhear the store's employees mutter about how crazy she was for wanting to ride a Beedrill, of all Pokémon. As their conversation continued, Shalin couldn't help but silently laugh, then chuckle aloud, then break into full-blown hysteria while they were measuring Queen Zing. One of them even broke out cursing, which was the last straw - she slumped in her chair, laughing uncontrollably.
Once she had looked over the gear that had been fitted for her Beedrill, Shalin still laughing, she decided that everything looked good. She immediately got a shout from the fitter and cashier on duty, "Now pay up and GET OUT!" She did as instructed, a huge grin on her face as she just couldn't stop laughing, handing them a rather thick stack of bills. Though it wasn't exactly cheap to shop here, this level of entertainment was well worth the premium price. She was laughing all the way out the door, breaking down in laughter upon the words "Crazy $*&%ing stupid &#$^% woman", as well as a couple of other more disgusting phrases, after Queen Zing crawled out of the store, hearing a slamming door behind them.
Coming to her senses after laughing uncontrollably for several straight minutes, she made her way to the post office, one of the largest buildings at the outpost. While she did not have a good time last time she signed up for a delivery route, she needed money. Queen Zing crawled alongside Shalin to the entrance of the small government facility before asking the Beedrill to wait outside while she signed up for a delivery route. With how rural this place was, she couldn't possibly get stuck on a route as packed as downtown Birch...right?
