Miss Joy looked at Primeape's condition and sighed.
"Fortunately, you traded for Primeape today, so its hidden injuries haven't reached an irreversible stage."
Seeing Primeape recover, Miss Joy was genuinely happy for it. Scenes of Pokémon being given a new lease on life always carried a warm feeling.
How long had it been since she had seen a Pokémon Trainer as sincere as Roy?
The rest would be up to her.

Roy sat in the Pokémon Center lobby and, with nothing else to do, began looking over the building's layout.
This Pokémon Center in the outskirts of Rustboro City had two floors. Judging by its size, it probably did not provide lodging. The second floor was used for Pokémon Trainer qualification examinations.

Mission: Help Moomoo Ranch in the outskirts of Rustboro City drive away the Rattata colony causing trouble. Mission Rank: D Mission Reward: 80 points
Even driving away Rattata was worth more points than dealing with the Viper Gang. Just how pathetic was that gang?
The missions on the screen likewise required a Junior Pokémon Trainer Qualification Certificate before they could be accepted.
