[VIOLET CITY - AUG 4th EVENING]

She's back here again. Not for the last time she's sure, nor for the second time given what she's been doing for the last week and a bit. But she's back here again, and Carly stretches as she re-enters Violet to head for the Poke-Center.

"We've been working really hard huh~?" she cheerfully announces, referring to the pokemon at her side. Solitaire- the Alolan Vulpix- seems exhempt from the matter, simply dozing away atop Carly's backpack...which is notably emptier seeming without a tent in it. But the rest of the pokemon, including the one which momentarily looked more like a fuzzy hair broach than anything, seem to be chittering their excitement.

One in particular looks especially pleased- evolution does that for a gal, and the newly evolved Salazzle is enjoying walking on two legs.

Entering the poke-center though, Carly is getting right to the point. "Alright- we'll just heal up, and then hea-"

....Hold on.

"S-Susie..!?" She'd have expected her to be off near Ecruteak, or even the Farm by now!!

Susie jumps and whirls around. "D'AH—
..oh! Oh shit! Hey!! It's, uh.. Good to see you again! Even if you don't. Remember the first time..!" She shrugs and awkwardly extends a fist—likely for bumping purposes.

"How you been, man? Love the hair.. thing."

...

Why... were you eating mud?

[pkemeter]

Yes. You can also make money by working at various part time jobs throughout the cities, which will give you a more stable source of income.

Did you not read the manual given to you by the entity that identifies itself as "mom"?

[alittleobsessed]

Oh, you can make a lot of money of both them and other trainers!

It seems just a little bit unethical, but apparently that's how it works here!

Making money is so stupidly easy in this world most of us figured you wouldn't need the help.

I mean you're a big tough badass so that first gym must have been a walk in the park for you yeah?

This may shock you.

But you may also perform services for the local businesses in exchange for currency.

It's colloquially known as a "job".

[cyclonely]

i mean that is the fastest way but also people on the routes basically charge at you and beg you to beat them in a pokemon battle so that they can give you money for it.
were you just avoiding them or what?
also everyone else has already bugged you about the mud thing so i won't but i need you to know that it's really hard not to.
