After paying for all their purchases, Nerissa, dashed out right after mentioning she'd buy them all potions. She had gone to the escalator instead of the counter where the potions were, which was strange. Did she not know where they were? Emil looked just as confused she was. Stella had already bought a few medicines for her Pokemon before she got to the Gym, and she knew very well how expensive they were to buy in bulk. She however, had enough money to afford them. Surely someone like Nerissa couldn't afford to buy that many, unless she was buying the generic variety. Did she have some kind of secret fortune hidden somewhere? Doubtful, because that sounded ridiculous. Nerissa soon came back, and lined her purchases out on the counter in front of them. She had gotten the three of them drinks from the vending machine. So then she couldn't afford to buy them proper Potions, and had to resort to getting them these things instead? Stella expected as much. Nerissa could never afford to buy all the Hyper Potions, Revives, Full Restores, and Full Heals she was able to get. "Wonderful, you bought us beverages." The girl said as she took some of the remaining bottles, and put them into her bag. Even if the traditional Potions healed better than these would, (considering how much they cost, they'd better....) they would still need something for themselves to drink, and a little refreshment never hurt anyone. "Although, I'm not drinking those Soda Pops either... Ugh... Besides, I prefer Lemonade anyway." Emil breifly paused to fix his hair, to which Stella stifled a giggle at the sight of. She did that often, but it was still funny to see a male fixing his hair like that. Especially without a compact mirror like she had to see what what he was doing. Once he was finished, he made his way to the escalator. Only to be stopped by the guards blocking the way. Apparently, the escalators had suddenly malfunctioned while they were going shopping. Strange, they were able to get up here without any problems. Stella was indifferent to this issue. [i]Better they malfunction now, then while we're on them...[/i] There was always the elevator anyway. It was certainly faster than going up and down each and every floor of this building by the escalators. "That's fine. The elevator is actually faster anyway." She stated as she walked over to the double doors, pressed a button, and waited for an empty shaft to come up.
