Inside the satchel was... a simple card with numbers printed on it and a logo in the background.

Genevive's eyes rose in surprise (and slight envy) at the special delivery. "Oh, well lucky you, Hydro!" She complimented, "Heidi's registered you a Pokedollar Card. Wow, um... I'm actually kind of jealous! I mean, those cards aren't the easiest things to get; they're usually just owned by celebrities and high-class people, you're pretty lucky to have gotten this... Hm, I guess I should explain to you how to use it. Come on, let's buy some things in the Pokemart. I hear Minte D'Villes has quite the selection of goods!" Genevive gestured to Hydro as if saying, "Ladies first". The clear, blue-tinted door of the store opened smoothly right as Hydro and Genevive stepped near it. Greeting the two were bright, glowing ceiling lights that seemed to make the various goods glow in a plastic dance of awe. The fact that the place was temperature-controlled just seemed to make everything even better. Genevive was quite impressed, and this is foreign from her usual behavior. This simple little store just had a weird magical quality to it. Genevive badly wanted to buy many, many things just to have them, but she had a job to do! And that was to teach Hydro to buy the necessities!

Stunned by the glorious deluxe clothing, Genevive stood in place, almost drooling hypnotically. Luckily, Hydro bumped into her and snapped her out of the trance created by the "40% OFF DESIGNER JEANS".

"So, Hydro... as a traveling Pokedex Holder, you'll be going across many different kinds of places. You know, like... mountains, wide plains, deserts, and forests and all that. You need to learn how to, uh... let's see... what'd Heidi call it? Erm... Oh yeah! Buy only what is necessary; that's what she said. The most important things to buy are things like medicines, food, and definitely clothing made for extreme temperatures because since you'll most likely be going to places like Ephra and Harab you'll need special clothing like parkas and loose shrouds. Those articles might seen weird at first, but believe me, Hydro, you'll be glad you got them." Hydro followed Genevive throughout the store and grabbed various items such as Antidotes, Potions, items for First Aid, special clothing, a heavy-duty backpack, even a portable Berry Pot!

When they were finished with their little shopping spree, Heidi headed to the register. "Now for the fun part!" She said excitedly, "This is where we make our purchase using the card." Genevive handed it to the cashier and completed their purchase. "Basically," Genevive explained, "This card is connected with your Cross-Transceiver's battle recording feature. Meaning, that if you defeat a trainer, you get points, so to speak. These points are pretty much another way to say Pokedollars. Anyway, you'll get more every time you win a battle, whether it be with a trainer or a Gym Leader and so on and so forth. It's pretty nifty to not have to carry paper money or coins since they take up valuable space in your pockets." And so, with a courteous smile, a thank you, and a goodbye, the two left the store. "Wasn't that fun, Hydro?" Genevive asked, "I'm sure it was. Keep in mind, though, you can't just buy whatever you want. Like I said before, buy only what is necessary for where you're heading. Here... hold open the backpack and I'll fill it with the items we bought." Genevive bent down, stuffed the backpack, and placed it on Hydro's shoulders. It was a bit heavy at first, but Hydro was a strong kid, he could handle it. At least, that's what Genevive thought of him.

"Well, Hydro, I think you get the gist of what I'm telling you. Good luck on your journey, kid. Catch that C character for me, K'? And remember, you've got help with you at all times. Don't be afraid to call us in case anything happens, alright? Ha ha, see you Hydro." Genevive shook hands with Hydro and, with a smile, waved and walked through the crowds of people strolling by, eventually becoming out of sight.

Hydro had barely touched the rim of things going on in the pristine port-city. Little did he know, there were still many unique stores to visit, restaurants to eat at, houses to see, corners to explore, and secrets to unveil!
