"Farming actually sounds kinda fun, honestly. Any plans to buy the farm back someday?" asked Ethan before finally noticing Via and Amanda with the Etoile Energy guy.
"Oh, hey there Amanda, Via. Seems we all ended up heading the same way"

Amanda, still internally embarrassed, can't really find the energy to reply other than a simple nod. Ul is nudging her but she's trying her best to ignore it.

Via sighs and rolls her eyes and the corp-man's annoying and obvious motivations. At the same time, he was offering free stuff, and she wasn't signing a contract or anything. "Well, if you have any more, I'll take some. If not, whatever."
As Ethan and Amanda walk up behind them, she gives a slight nod, and then taps her foot, staring off into the distance in thought while waiting to move on to the training center.

"I wonder if it's destiny drawing us back together? Eh, heh heh!," Hissho said, seeing Amanda and Via and laughing at what he clearly viewed as a joke. Evidently the man did not make much of destiny too seriously.
He did, however, take note of the obvious salesman, though Hissho held his tongue. Better to wait and see what he was selling.

Noting how everyone was suddenly there, Ethan turned to the representative.
"Fancy meeting you here, sir. Do you have any remaining business with us?"

Albus glances at Via before smiling and stepping towards the new arrivals.
"Hello again. Albus Dubois of Etoile Energy." He says, introducing himself to Abby. "We're happy to sponsor trainers that are new to the region in conjunction with Professor Sorbus. So I'm going to be tracking down the rest of your friends to hand out these brand new pokedexes." He says as he passes her the same sort of paper bag as he'd given you guys earlier, before turning to address you guys as well.
"And to help you find your way in the region we also have these care packages - with speciality medicine or pokeballs as you desire." He says, pulling several green and blue pouches out of his suitcase.

Ethan gave a quick peek to the contents of both, before settling for the Pokeball pack.
"Medicine tends to be less expensive overall than pokeballs, in my experience"

Via made her decision almost as soon as the choice was offered. Medicine was nice, but healing happened naturally, and she was fine with being a bit rough. Pokeballs were far more rare. "Pokeballs."

Albus nods before handing blue packages over to Via and Ethan (it contains 2 heavy balls, 2 fast balls, 2 dive balls and 2 moon balls). "An excellent choice. You never want to be missing a pokeball when a pokemon catches your eye." He then turns to Hissho. "And what do you want old timer? A herbal remedy or..." He trails off and steps forward in time to catch Hissho as the old man sways and falls forwards. "Oh dear." He says, setting Hissho on the ground and checking his pulse.
"Okay then." He mutters to himself before looking back at the group. "It seems that the old man has fainted - most likely from dehydration. It should be harmless, but to be certain I'll take him to get medical attention. Assuming you trust me with your friend of course?" He says looking you in the eyes.

Ethan had also gone down to a knee and checked Hissho for any signs of injury or health risks.
"Sounds reasonable, yeah. Guess the age does catch up to people"

Well now Amanda feels kinda bad for yelling at him when he was minutes from fainting. Whoops. She just nods back in reply. Although she's not really sure 'why' she has to give consent for a man she barely knows but oh well.
After she gives the nod, she looks to Via and Ethan.
"I'm going to keep heading to the YTSA for now then."
She turns and thanks Albus for the package before walking off again.

"We should probably move on, yeah. You're okay taking the old man by yourself, sir?" Ethan asked as he climbed back to his feet.

Via takes her package and keeps walking towards the YTSA without saying something, only giving the old man a quick glance before continuing on.

The YTSA here in Brinetide is next to an old cargo pier and has been converted from an old warehouse. A small pokemon centre is located across the road along with several small food stalls and cafes. Directly inside is a small reception room with a door into a common area, a hall leading down to rooms and double doors leading to a large area for battles.
The brilliant flashes of light and barely muffled explosions coming from the battle area clearly indicate that its in use and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the reception area.

Ethan knocked a couple times before walking inside.
"Anyone home?" he asked, before shrugging and pointing in direction of the training ground.
"Might as well go ahead, I suppose"

Amanda lets Ethan walk ahead of her to test the waters. When there is no response from the reception, Ul tugs on Amanda's leg before transforming into a little chibi karate girl and making mock punches before pointing toward the arena.
"It seems to be the only place people are..."
Ul shrugs at Amanda before they both continue to follow Ethan.

Via follows the others towards the battle area, once arriving not bothering to pay attention to anyone else there before setting into a training routine with her new pokemon, eager to learn what it was like.

There's clearly no one around, so you proceed into the battle room uninterrupted. Inside you can see a dozen trainers watching a battle between a teenager's Gigalith and an older man's Electabuzz. It only lasts for another ten seconds after you enter, with the Electabuzz dealing a devastating punch to knock the Gigalith unconscious.
Afterwards several of the watching trainers move forwards to talk to the defeated teen and others start talking amongst themselves, clearly angling for a battle of their own. The older man turns around and walks towards you with a smile, recalling his Electabuzz as an afterthought.
"Ah. More travellers here to rest up before hitting the road then?" He says in a friendly manner. "Or are you just here for a battle or two?"

"I'd say we're not quite at the level to challenge for a battle, no" Ethan quickly said, sweating a bit at the prospect of fighting what looked like well trained, very strong Pokemon with a Baltoy and a Wrestotodile or however you called his new Pokemon. Great Kyurem, the latter one would pick that outmatch guaranteed.
"We just got here and our Pokemon are more along the lines of the 'small, cute and squishy' variety still"

Amanda raised an eyebrow at Ethan when he speaks for the group. While she would rather just stay in the back and not say anything, she did come here literally for a battle to test Ul out in the new region, and gauge strength. So she has to say yes despite how strong these pokemon looked.
"I will say 'I' came here for that sole purpose, however."
She thinks for a moment.
"...And the other thing wouldn't be a bad idea."
