As he enters the town unmolested, Marcus can see a small child trying to tame a Slowpoke by holding food up for it and speaking commands.<br/><br/>"Okay, sit, Slowpoke, sit!"<br/>...<br/>...<br/>...<br/>"Come on, Slowpoke!"<br/><br/>It might take some time.<br/><br/>It doesn't take too long to find a pokecenter - there is a large sign above the door, depicting a pokeball and the sword-and-snake symbol of medicine. There are a couple of people milling about, but behind the counter is a face that is likely to become very familiar:<br/><br/>http://www.geocities.com/smurfysailor/nursejoy.jpg<br/><br/>"Hi there, I'm Nurse Joy. How can I help you?"
