Cyprus couldn't help herself when she opened her mouth.
"So that's what those things are called? Video Phones?" Too late she realized how strange that would sound.
She looked away blushing for a moment then turned back to Molly. "...Um...I'll go find out what the charges are for a decent meal..."
She stood up and walked over to Nurse Joy and voiced her question. "Do you charge trainers who want to eat here?"
"The only time we charge is during festivals, when we're over run, and during Championship Tournaments, when there are lots of other resturants who feed participants for free, but we seem to be overrun with visitors. Since this is the first stop most people make on their Journeys, we've gotten funding enough to not charge during other times."
"Funding?" Cyprus asked quietly, not sure what the word meant.
"Yes. A big company who backs Pokemon Training backs several Pokemon Centers in Johto."
Cyprus nodded and walked back to the others. "It's free tonight." She confirmed, her mind turning over what Nurse Joy had said.
"Someone funds this pokemon center... someone makes it possible for trainers to eat here free... why?" She was mostly thinking out loud... but it was perplexing. Why would they give away money?
... Unless they wanted more trainers to make it this far... But why? Cyprus knew she was missing an important link.
