As Lizbeth stepped into Viridian City, she thought it looked like a rather cosy little city. It kind of reminded her of Wedgehurst, though with a more city feel to it. The group appeared to be headed towards the Pokémon Center, and so she followed suit, as she did have one Pokémon that needed healing. Ace was still in top form despite the battle against the Rattata from earlier, though that one hadn't appeared particularly strong, anyway.

There was talk of food, but Lizbeth wanted to get her latest team member healed up first, as well as check out the Pokémart that was nearby. She headed towards the counter where a nurse stood, ready to start work for anyone who needed the help.

[color=pink]"Good day to you, miss. How can I help you today?"[/color] the nurse said with a comforting voice and a soothing smile. Lizbeth felt at ease, as if she could trust the woman to take good care of her injured Pokémon.

[color=mediumvioletred]"I have a newly caught Poochyena who needs some care. I'm afraid that my Impidimp couldn't hold much back against her, but only because she didn't hold back either."[/color] The nurse was slightly surprised to see Ace just sitting on her shoulder, what with him being a Pokémon she'd never seen. Ace simply waved at her, and she returned the gesture.

Lizbeth took her Poochyena's Premier Ball off her belt and attempted to hand it over to the nurse, but she just politely pushed it back. [color=pink]"You must be new to this. You need to first take your Pokémon out of her respective ball, but come to the side where we receive your Pokémon for treatment."[/color]

The nurse motioned for Lizbeth to go to the left where she now saw that they did indeed have an area like that. It made sense, it'd be weird to just put an injured Pokémon right there on the reception counter. Especially if it was bleeding or something else like that. She did as she was asked and took her Poochyena out of her ball right there on the actual receiving counter. Poochyena was still a bit weakened from the earlier fight, and seemed somewhat calmer than before.

[color=pink]"We'll begin treatment immediately. It'll take a bit of time, so we ask that you don't wander too far away."[/color] Another nurse appeared after the previous one called for her, who put the Poochyena on a stroller and took her to a room in the back. [color=mediumvioletred]"Would it be alright if I took a quick trip over to the Pokémart, then?"[/color] Lizbeth asked, since she didn't just want to sit and wait. 

[color=pink]"Yes, that should be fine, but don't take too long. You mentioned your Poochyena was newly caught, which means she's still basically a wild Pokémon. Our nurses are of course trained to handle wild Pokémon, but it would still be for the best if their actual Trainer is there to receive them back when their treatment is done."[/color] With that, the nurse went back to the reception counter to help another Trainer with their Pokémon treatment, and Lizbeth decided to go and see what the Pokémart had to offer.

Meanwhile, Ace had snuck away due to the smell of the food, and saw Hana cooking using her own Pokémon as well. [color=limegreen][i]Maybe I can steal an early bite.[/i][/color] That thought was quickly extinguished when he remembered what Hana's Pokémon was. [color=limegreen][i]Right, Pawniard. Steel type. Better not mess with it.[/i][/color] Instead, he opted to video bomb Ezra by climbing up him and onto his shoulder, waving at the people he was talking to on the phone.
