Spending Money

Eichi gave a wry smile. "The money I earn still isn't enough to spend."

Professor Kanter said, "All right, I know you. Your skill at making Pokéblocks and Pokémon food is already good enough to earn money outside."

"The Alola Region? I've never heard of it. Forget it, we can just test it with the equipment later."

Professor Kanter then turned his attention to Armaldo.
