If you go out to the next Route, you can beat up some weak trainers for cash over and over again. I haven't needed to work for the whole time I've been here. c:
[Once a slacker, always a slacker. Mordecai doesn't even notice the customer walk in, he's too busy fiddling with his pokégear. In fact, it takes a good minute or five before he even realizes, straightening up and trying his best to look like he WASN'T just posting about how much his first day on the job sucked.]

[Okay, his customer is a cow. He can handle that. Even if he doesn't speak cow.]
[...oh wait, apparently the girl was his customer. AWKWARD.]
Uhm... is... is this your cow? I mean, uh... [FOCUS, Mordo.] Potions, right. Well, I guess it all depends on how much you plan on letting your pokémon get beat up, I guess. If you're gonna be training while you're on the road, I'd suggest stocking up on as many as you can, I guess...

[Katara is mostly just bored and curious, so the best thing she can think to do to alleviate her boredom is to familiarize herself with the local stops that she'll be seeing in EVERY town from here until whenever she goes home. She's dressed in her water tribe clothes for now, walking into the shop with an apparent look of "THIS STORE IS BIGGER AND MORE STRANGE THAN ANY MARKET STREET I HAVE EVER BEEN TO."] ... Talk about having a lot of options.

[A lot of options? Wait, was she talking about Gradius? Hey, maybe it was another gamer like him and -- .....no. She looks absolutely boggled by the fact that such a place even has a ROOF over it, there's no way she'd even know WHAT a video game was. Like that guy who claimed he was the entire country of Italy but didn't know what a car was. What was WITH people here?]
Not that many, actually... s'a small shop, we don't have too much here. Potions, pokéballs that don't work, the usual status-curing stuff... y'know. Normal stuff. [There's also travel rations and the usual trainer stuff, but that's not on the price list, man.]
[Katara walks further in, looking at Mordecai after a moment as she does.]
We don't have shops quite like this back home. Well, weapon shops, sure, but not really places that sell food and supplies. They're usually market streets. Potions and status cures sound good. I'm kind of new to this still.
[Yep. First stop had been the Pokemon center. Honestly, making a three day journey without any way to heal her Pokemon? It was just a good thing she had repels.
Wait.... What? Have THIS face.] Why would a store sell a product that doesn't work? [I'm not buying Pokeballs here if that's true!]
[Mordecai looks... well, like a bum. Hobos look like hobos regardless of era, and... tattered clothes? Slightly messy hair? Lanky? Yeah, this is someone who had been a bum at one time, though the pokémart apron covers it to a degree.]
I dunno, I just know that none of the balls I had even worked on a stupid fish that wasn't even in water any more. I could've just... walked over and grabbed it, but then that wouldn't follow the rules.
But apparently it liked flopping around on the land more than it liked being kept by a guy.
The potions we got stocked here are the same you probably started with, and cost three hundred a pop. Antidotes - we sell a lot of those here since apparently a lot of bugs in nearby routes are poisonous - cost one hund. The balls - crappy as they are, I dunno, maybe the ones here are better than the ones I started off with - are two hundred.
So... How does one get a job 'round these parts? All I've got is the money I started out with, and I owe some kid all of what I got. I'm in some deep shit, mind helpin'g a brother out?
I dunno, I just walked into the store and asked if they knew how I could get some money. They hired me real quick.
Except apparently, leaving before you've done a week's worth of work at least is apparently a crime here. Ughhh.
Someone I talk to on this thing, goes by the name of Scott, says you can actually just beat the kids out on later routes in pokémon battles and it's part of the rules that they have to fork some cash over if they lose.
