After a little while, the group arrived in Viridian City, a humble, quiet town on the outskirts of the Viridian Forest. Everyone decided that the first thing that they would do would be to get a place to stay for the night and get a bite to eat.
"How bout this place?" Kris asked, "The Viridian Flare?"
"Kris, I think that's a hotel" Brooke told him
"What's your point?" Kris asked
"Nothing" Brooke said, "As long as you're forking up the cash for the rooms."
"Oh yeah,"Kris realized, "Well maybe we can hang out in the lobby."
"Sure Kris" Brooke replied sarcastically, and maybe after that we can go find a nice gutter to sleep in with the rest of the hobos."
After walking a few blocks, the group found a medium sized building with a roof shaped like a Pokeball.
"What do you suppose this place is?" Josiah asked
"Maybe you should read the sign." Vanessa told him, " It's called a Pokemon Center. I say we go in and check it out."
"Sounds good to me." Brooke said walking through the sliding glass door.
"Ditto" Kris said following her
"Wait for us!" Josiah and Vanessa yelled running after them
Inside the Pokemon Center, there was a woman with pink pigtails in a medical uniform working behind a counter.
"Hello" the woman said cheerfully, "May I help you?"
"Yes ma'am" Brooke said, "We just started our Pokemon journey, and we're new in town."
"All right then," the woman replied, "My name is Nurse Joy, and I'll explain everything to you. This is a Pokemon Center, Here, you can have your Pokemon healed if they get hurt or injured, and we also offer trainers food and rooms to stay the night. There are Pokemon Centers in almost every town, so you shouldn't have much trouble trying to find one.
"That's hot!" Vanessa said
"Okay then," Nurse Joy said, "Would you like me to heal your Pokemon?"
"Yes Please" everyone said handing Nurse Joy their Pokeballs.
"The healing process takes about an hour, may I offer you some food and a room to stay the night?"
"That sounds great" Josiah said, " I could use a good bite to eat"
"Here are your keys to your two rooms." Joy told the group, "I'll buzz your room when your Pokemon are healed."
"After about an hour and two large extra-cheese pizzas, Nurse Joy called the room to tell them their Pokemon were all fully recovered and are ready to be picked up.
"I'll go get em'" Brooke said
When Brooke came back, it was the usual scene of pandemonium. Kris was trying to turn a water bed into a trampoline, Josiah was trying to learn how to juggle with eggs... and failing, and Vanessa was making her regular threats about wanting to strangle the both of them.
"What just happened in here?" Brooke yelled
"Is that a trick question?" Josiah asked
"Look, I'm wiped out," Brooke said, "Let's just get some rest and deal with this in the morning."
