Theo and Ylva very conveniently enter the Pokemon Centre at almost the same time!
The building is clean and well-lit, and while not exactly bustling there are a handful of people milling around within. A couple of barriers have been set up to corral people in times of high activity, but they're pretty useless at present.
A large machine under the stairwell advertises itself as "Pokemon Storage Access", while a similar-looking device on the far wall is marked "Online Trading Database".
A female nurse waves to the pair from behind the counter as they walk in.
"Hi there! Do you need any help?
Pokemon treatment's at this desk, beds are upstairs and if one of you is a little injured we can take care of that in the back room too!
If either of you can't handle stairs, I can show you where the lift is around the back through the treatment room."
A shockingly pink blob carrying an egg bobs around happily behind her as she speaks. In the far corner, a male nurse is conversing with a middle-aged man, a young girl who is bouncing even faster than the pokemon behind the desk and a bipedal rabbit that barely reaches two feet tall.
A person whose eyes are concealed with sunglasses is engaged in a heated phone call by the trading machine. A female bodybuilder and her companion, who could almost pass for a child bodybuilder if if not for the grey skin and almost repitlian head, are sitting at the left-hand table.
The old man scratches the back of his head uncertainly.
"Eh well... I'm more of a collector than a battler myself..."
He glances back at his grandson who holds up three fingers at him, then lowers two of them.
"Oh. Right.
Youngster here's only got one pokemon left anyway so I guess I don't have much of a choice do I? Can't make you wait for him to dash to the Centre and back.
Go easy on Tess though eh? She's not had much practice at this."
The two members of the Kid family take their places at one side of the increasingly scuffed arena, and wait for their challengers to do the same.
"Remember, play fair. Pokemon only, no kicking or using items, don't wander too far outside the lines or we'll annoy the neighbours.
Last team standing wins!"
