Oreburgh City
Koishi, her pokemon following behind had finally returned to the city.
"That was great!" Koishi said.
"You almost got us killed." Snow said.
"Oh, it was just a little bit of rocks." Koishi said.
"That was a goddamn avalanche of rocks!" Snow retorted.
"They were just pebbles." Koishi said.
Snow simply sighed. "Arguing with you is pointless."

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

"Sure. Who knows what could happen, what with those Team Anarchy and all." Yuuka concorded, and quickly scanned the surroundings. Indeed there was a building with red roof, but the house looked too... Residential... To be exactly called Pokemon Center. No signs of trainers were in sight, and neither were that of injured or recovering Pokemon... Except for some different Pokemon, ranging from ever-so-common Zigzagoon, Poochyenas, and Wurmples to rare Pokemon like Mareep, Snover, and Axew from other regions, playing together in a small garden behind the house.
"You really think this is the Pokemon Center?" Yuuka asked Sherry in doubtful curiosity.

Sherry mulled over Yuuka's question for a moment as she took in the sight of the residential building in front of her. Yes, it looked too residential to be considered a prim and proper Pokemon Center, but it seemed that the pokemon of the little town were drawn to it like trainers were to a gym. Plus, if a local resident said that this was a Pokemon Center, then by all means, this had to be taken at face value. Smiling at the strange creatures romping about in the garden behind the house, Sherry turned back to her green-haired companion.
"Well, what defines a pokemon center?" Sherry replied to Yuuka. "Stupid question, I know, but still, this looks like the center for pokemon around here. If this isn't an established Pokemon Center, I'd say it comes the closest to it than any of these buildings around here. And besides, there's only one way to find out!~"
The agent pointed in the direction of the house and made her way towards it, goaded on by the pleased cries of her Joltik.

The "Pokemon Center" was a living room of a Japanese house, with a small wooden counter and a Pokemon healing machine behind it. The lower floor was concrete, while the upper floor was bamboo wood with straw tatami. Three old wooden chairs were lined at one wall for visitors to use to rest their tired legs. The wallpaper looked like it was tearing apart, with the raw wooden wall exposed behind the peeling wallpaper.
"Welcome!" A short girl with long brown hair, beige school uniform jacket, and olive skirt rushed out of the corner to greet Sherry. "How can I help you today?"
"Dang, this is a pretty beat up place." Yuuka observed to herself as she entered the house, inaudible to the short girl but audible to Sherry.

Sherry had seen far worse places to operate out of. Coming from the whitewashed walls of the FOS facility in America, the concrete floor and walls full of character were welcoming rather than distressing. The agent smiled at the Japanese design before her eyes caught the healing machine behind the counter. Her intuition had paid off, for it seemed that this really was a Pokemon Center and not just some cheap knock-off. This was further supported by the attentive girl who came out to greet the two.
"Shh," Sherry hissed at Yuuka. She smiled at the girl and held up her two Pokeballs, including Gregor who rode on her hand. "Hello! We'd like to give our pokemon a check-up, please."

Koishi was tired of waiting around for the others, and she looked over to the gym, where she started to head towards.
"Aren't you going to wait for those other people you met?" Snow asked.
"Ah, they'll catch up." Koishi said. Kogasa put ehr claws together and made a smirk. "Yeah, let's fight some people."
"Choose your battles wisely, Gligar. Or you'll fail." Snow's eyes narrowed. "Badly."
"Hmph. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Kogasa stuck her tongue out at Snow.
"You two are funny." Koishi smiled. "A little rivalry is a good thing, isn't it?"
The two crossed their arms and hmphed as Koishi got to the door of the gym and opened it.

Gregor twitched his wittle mandibles and scurried up Sherry's arm as she handed over her two Pokeballs. It seemed that the little Joltik wasn't ready to be separated from his new trainer just yet, but unfortunately for him, Sherry wanted him to be in tip-top shape. The agent snatched her bug and petted its fur before coaxing it back into a pokeball to be delivered over to the attendant. There was no reason not to trust this girl, nor was there a reason to distrust a nurse either.
"Here you go," Sherry announced.

Sinnoh Region - Oreburgh City Gym
Oreburgh Gym was a sprawling building with tunnels that leads to god knows where, resembling a mining cave. The tunnels were connected together with wooden bridges and adorned with gas lamps. Pickaxes or two were stuck on the wall, adding to the mining tunnel feel.
There were three tunnels that Koishi could choose from.

"Okay, take good care of mine as well." Yuuka entrusted her Pokemon to the short girl.
"I'll use this machine here to heal-" The short girl reached to grab the six Pokeballs, three of Sherry's and three of Yuuka's, placed them on the Pokemon healing machine, abd pressed a button.
The machine wasn't responding.
"Oh no, what happened..." The girl fidgeted, trying to troubleshoot with no success. She stepped into the room behind and said to someone behind the walls.
"Granny, did you mess with the machine again?"
The reply was delivered with a weak, faint voice. "I want ice cream, Juna."
"For the last time, granny, the healing machine is NOT a refridgerator." The girl, Juna, sighed and beckoned with a soothing voice, but it seemed that the grandmother wasn't listening.
"Ice cream, Juna! I want ice cream!"
Juna sighed and stepped out. "Sorry about that... Let me go buy some potions to heal your Pokemon..."

"Thank Arceus I ain't claustrophobic." Snow said.
"Come on, let's go." Koishi said, heading down the tunnel to the right.
