Axel hung back in the group as they ventured onwards to the pokemon centre. With his shades down to hide anything his eyes would give away, and to keep looking cool, he flicked through the photos on the camera. Memories, each with Era right there with a smile. The battle with the guys in Sandgem town, the fight with the patrat when Axel got skunked, the chase for the flying slowpoke. The he finally looked at the first photo, the one taken just after they had met and Axel smiled, this wasn't the end but just a bump in the road. "She'll be back" he mumbled to himself.
As the group reached the Pokemon centre, Axel put the camera away, he straightened himself up and put on his best face to give the coolest first impression. Met with the sight of Berlitz and another boy, Axel was surprised, he expected some nameless official to bring the new kid but to see Berlitz so soon was a treat. Once the boy had introduced himself as Troy Beaumont, Axel gave him a visible look up and down from behind his mirrored shades. It wasn't that he wanted to be mean or dismissive to the new kid but if he had to step into the shoes that Era was leaving behind, he had to make sure he was up to it. As the boy conversed with Ethan, Axel kept quiet, a silent watcher from behind Ethan. Eventually Axel spoke up, "Axel Stream's the name, so your the new guy, cool.." He take his shades off and drops the visage for a moment as he grins at troy "Nice ta mee'cha"

Troy refrains from raising an eyebrow as he notices the other boy giving him what must have been measuring looks. Troy feels like sighing, but he refuses to do so, not wanting to look weird in front of his new companions. He just hopes that he passed whatever test Axel set for him.
Once Axel speaks up, Troy smiles. Axel seems like a cool guy. I still stand by what I was thinking earlier about him seeming very confident, but I guess I might have been wrong, it's hard to tell. Troy betrays none of his thoughts, instead replying, "Likewise, Axel."

Era smiles at Troy a bit sadly, "Nice to meet you. I'm Era, and I'm who you'll be taking the place of on the journey."
She walked around Troy for a few moments. She looked him straight in the eye getting close to his face before backing off. With a nod she said, "You'll be a good trainer. When am I supposed to go back Berlitz?"
Berlitz had given the other the three a friendly wave when they entered the pokemon center, but now that they were here she seemed a bit glum having known the situation.
"TG group mandate, they don't want to taint their research data. So, I'll be bringing you back as soon as possible" Berlitz explained looking at Era.
With a quick look to Berlitz she turned to the others, "I guess this means final good byes. See ya guys."

Troy nods at Era, a slightly sad smile of his own on his lips. "Likewise, Era. I wish we didn't have to meet on these terms," Troy admits. Then Era started walking around him. Troy was a little confused at first, but he understood that she was evaluating him. He stayed relaxed and when she got real close to his face and stared him right in the eyes, Troy looked right back, normally his cheeks would have gone a little red due to the sudden proximity of the girl, but he knew this was serious and so he stayed composed.
So she's going already? Darn I didn't even get the chance to get to know her at least a little like the others did. Somewhat disappointed, though he didn't let this show too much, Eric waved Era goodbye.

"See you." Ethan waved a hand. He didn't want to say goodbye, still believing they'll meet up again someday.
After Era and Berlitz had left, Ethan eyes drifts from Axel to Troy. With an audible sound as he clears his throat, Ethan smiles at Troy. "Welcome to the group Troy. I suppose you would like to get to us better now, or shall we first enjoy these events in Jubilife City together?" Ethan unzips a pocket from his backpack and takes out the pamphlets he had received last night. "You see, before we leave Jubilife City, we are planning on visiting as many places as we can." He gives the pamphlets to Troy, for the boy to look through them.

Axel put a hand on Era's shoulder before putting his shades back on. "Catch ya later" he said giving her the finger guns. Axel, like Ethan, didnt really like goodbyes and wanted to hold onto the idea that she would comeback one day.
Once she had left and Ethan spoke about what they were doing today, Axel got excited once more, shrugging off the previous situation as best he could. "Oh i cannot wait to see it all, its like Goldenrod 2.0"

Troy looks over the pamphlet as he thinks of a response for Ethan. "Hm, well, why not do both? I'm sure if we participate in these events together, I'll learn a little bit about you." Troy smiles at Ethan and Axel, "I've had a quick look at the city. I don't know much about Goldenrod, but it does remind me of my hometown, Mauville City in Hoenn, except everything is taller. I'm looking forward to exploring Jubilife with you guys. I'm sure it'll be fun." He looks at the pamphlet again. "I'm most interested in the 'Challenger experience I suppose, but... I don't really have much money for the fee right now. What are you guys interested in?"

With a smile to them, Era and Mrs.Berlitz made their way out of the room. Outside of the pokemon center they could see Era get into a black sedan, as it drove off, bringing her back home to her sick parent.
Just leaving the new trio to decide on what they wanted to do in the pokemon center of Jubilife.

"Well then" Axel began, adjusting his shades and looking towards Troy, "I guess challenger experience is next on the list. We had already made plans to to there and, thanks to a bit of skill back in Sandgem Town, we've got the cash to participate" Axel looked confident, but with a new member of the team and no tactics set out he glanced at Ethan to see if the boy had anything he was going to say, after all, he was more of a leader than Axel was.

"We were thinking of splitting the entry fee three way. Same with the winning prize money." Ethan said, flipping through the pamphlets. "If you don't have enough, maybe we can find someway to earn enough to cover your entry fee while we visit the other places."
Ethan glances over at Axel and saw him looking back. Thinking for a moment, Ethan had a couple of ideas. "Well, I don't think we should rush to the challenger experience yet. After all we don't know each other's Pokemon and haven't work together as a team yet." Ethan picks out the pamphlets for global trade center and Trainer school. "We might find some trainers who'll want to battle here. We might have a better chance at the Global Trade Center. That way we can learn about each other's Pokemon and how to work together as a team." Ethan than picks up the brochure about the Poketech company. "Maybe there's some new technology or someone looking for participants to test them. We might be able to earn something in return."
Pausing for a second, Ethan looks at both boys. "Maybe there's someone in town who'll need help, I heard the annual Floaroma Town festival is happening soon. So waves of pollen are drifting to Jubilife City. I met a lady last night who had a Lillipup with a stuffed nose. There were many others in the Pokemon Center as well for similar reasons. So maybe there is someone who requires help while their Pokemon is under the weather. We could check up with Nurse Joy to see if we can be of any help because of that. Hopefully we'll earn some money by helping out."

Troy nods at Ethan's words. He had thought battling other people would have been a good way to get to know the Pokemon of the group, but it might not be smart to do that while a lot of money is on the line. Having some practice battles beforehand would certainly help.
Marveling at Ethan's intelligence as the boy talked about the various chances of finding battles or earning money, Troy's eyes shine with an impressed gleam. Ethan's pretty smart. Looks like I'll be able to depend on him for things like coming up with a plan. Not that I plan to leave all the work to him though.
At the mention of Pokemon being affected by pollen and their owners possibly needing help, Troy's gains a minuscule frown of worry, though it's quickly replaced by a look of determination. "Let's talk to Nurse Joy as soon as possible please. I'd like to help out wherever I can."

Axel smiled and nodded as Ethan spoke. He'd traveled with him long enough now to know that Ethan always has great ideas, worth a good listen whenever he's talking. Axel however pondered for a brief moment about what he had been bringing to the group but quickly shrugged that off. "Honestly guys, i'm cool with whatever we decides next, this city is so big and awesome that i wanna see it all. I do wanna take a trip to the Dance Studio though, i think me and the gang might learn something useful for the Contests." For a moment the idea of Amp dancing entered his mind and he chuckled briefly before regaining his cool.

Ethan nods in agreement, placing the pamphlets away. "Alright, we'll first see if Nurse Joy need any help. Maybe someone couldn't leave their home due to reasons." Looking around, Ethan clasps his hands together. "If there is nothing else, I guess we can start our journey together." With that, Ethan leads the group towards the front desk, if the others didn't have anything else to say.

Leading his way up to the desk Ethan found nurse Joy more busy than usual. It took the group a couple of moments to get closer to the desk as the crowd of people create a line leading up to her desk. As they approached Nurse Joy smiled at the trio and asked, "Hi there young men, is there anything I can do for you?"

Ethan stepped up and smile at Nurse Joy. "Hi Nurse Joy. We heard many Pokemon are affected by the pollen drifting down from Floaroma Town, due to it's annual festival that is happening soon. So we are wondering if you would like any assistance."
"Oh, and our Pokemon have hatched earlier this morning." He mentioned with a bright smile, remembering Nurse Joy seemed a bit excited of it last night.

The nurse Joy's smiled widened as she heard the news about the pokemon eggs, "Really! that's great to hear! I bet their healthy and happy now."
She smiled inwardly before saying, "We do need more allergy medication and other things since we're running low, but the shipments due to come in tomorrow, so I think we're fine. Between the other nurses here, and the chanceys we have more than enough people on hand. So you don't need to worry about us ever being overstaffed."

Troy is both relieved and disappointed to hear that the Pokemon Center doesn't need their help. He would have loved to help out, but at the same time, it was much better to let the professionals do their job. "Thank you for taking the time to talk to us about this," he says to the Nurse.
Troy turns to his new companions. "Well, it looks like our help isn't needed here. Shall we continue with our journey through the city?"

"Thank you." Ethan says to Nurse Joy after Troy thanked the nurse.
Stepping aside so the line can continue, Ethan turns to the group. He nods at Troy's direction. "We can check with the Poketech company or the Global Trade Center next. Depending on which one is closer. Or if you guys have a preference."

"I don't mind," Troy says. "But I'll just put my vote in for the Poketech Company."

Looking at Axel for his input, which the musician gives no indication of, Ethan nods. "Alright, the Poketech Company it is." Ethan pulls out the brochure about the Poketech Company and double checks the listed address.
"When everone is ready, lets go." Ethan smiled, looking up his companions. With the brochure in hand, Ethan ushers the rest out of the Pokemon Center and heads towards the building.
