Unlike the visitors at the entrance, who were all eager to get inside, most of those at the exit had finished their visit and were ready to eat. That made it a good place for business. At the entrance, Heath thought selling drinks would be a good choice. After all, although the Pewter City Science Museum prohibited eating inside, having something to drink was allowed.
Heath was very satisfied with his spot by the exit, though. He took out his blackboard, wrote the day's recommended dishes on it, and hung it outside the door. To get an edge over the neighboring vendors, he even made a point of calling Zoroark out.
"Nooo, I don't wanna go outside." Zoroark looked thoroughly reluctant. The weather outside was almost too nice today, with brilliant sunshine and not a cloud in the sky. Heath was a little suspicious. He remembered the forecast saying it might be overcast with light rain later today, yet it had turned out sunny.
Heath wondered whether those Trainers had used a move like Sunny Day to clear the overcast skies above Pewter City.
"I'll give you a raise. Be my shop girl outside today, and I'll pay you five hundred for the day." Heath knew his Pokémon's personality very well. Nothing motivated Zoroark more than money. After all, both playing games and reading novels cost Zoroark money.
"Deal!" Zoroark immediately slapped a paw against Heath's hand, then headed outside enthusiastically, ready to greet customers. Heath stopped Zoroark, though. There was no one at the exit yet, and the Pewter City Science Museum hadn't even opened. What was the point of standing outside now-breathing the morning air laden with settled dust?
"Let's go check out the revival demonstration at the Pewter City Science Museum." Heath called out his Pokémon. Since
