"Why do I have to do all the chores suddenly?" Logan asked. His mom rolled her eyes. "I thought they would be easier now that you have Rini with you." Rini was Logan's Riolu that he had just received from Cedric Juniper the day before. "Besides, didn't you want to go on an Pokémon journey?" Logan facepalmed himself. Collecting feathers from the drawbridge didn't really scream 'journey'. "Isn't there any other way to earn money?" he scowled.
Downstairs, Logan's older brother Max heard the whole argument. He was training his newly-caught Zoroark when Logan ended with "Isn't there any other way to earn money?" Well, yes there is. Max thought. "Be right back, Illusio." he called, already racing up the stairs.
"Well, actually, there is." a voice said. Logan turned around. It was Max. "The PWT. People set up shops there all the time." Logan was confused. "What could I sell? I'm broke!"
"Poffins. You have a Poffin-making talent."
"Nobody uses Poffins in Unova."
"Because nobody sells them."
"Because nobody uses them."
"Just try it, okay?" Max sighed. "You'll be fine. It's $2500 a day to have a place there, but I'll pay for Day 1 and the money we make should keep us able to pay."
"We?"
"Yeah. I'll work with you."
"Fine."
"Before we leave, how about a quick battle?"
"What? N-"
"Go, Shorika!" Logan was rudely interrupted as Max sent out his Huntail, Shorika. "One on one, okay?"
"But-"
"Shorika, Ice Fang!" Logan was interrupted once again as Max called out the first attack. Logan was doomed. Max had 7 years of experience, and Logan had just started out yesterday! Shorika hovered circles around Rini, then opened it's freezing cold mouth, and... stopped right in front of Rini? "Come back, Shorika. Bro, I was joking." Max called. Logan was infuriated at the joke. "Let's just go." Logan growled, opening the door.
