[Jimmy's looking a lot better than he did last time he was broadcasting. He's sitting on a couch, and it doesn't look like he's been hitting the sauce.]

So...how does a guy who's never had a real job get himself a real job?

I don't need nothing fancy, just something that pays at the end of the week, you know? I can haul boxes or sweep a floor, I know options aren't great for a guy with no education and no normal work experience.

[But he's not going to be some moocher, he's gonna pay rent and buy food and be able to get things fixed when they broke. All that kinda stuff a guy ought to do.]

But everybody's always telling me how that doesn't matter here, so I figure there's gotta be options!

Johto is full of opportunity! You might even be able to find a job doing something you never even imagined! I could tell you about my first job in Johto if you'd like!

[Tobias looks... a little tired. But he's managing a smile for Jimmy, at least.]

You're in Celadon still, right? Maybe ask at the department store. They could probably use some more help with moving stuff around or cleaning up, since it's so busy. You'll probably get even more openings if you can work nights or mornings since a lot of people don't want to do those times.

Most places are willing to take on trainers for a few weeks, so you can just go in and ask around some of the shops or Pokemon Centers! Anna and I usually wind up waitressing whenever we stay in a town for more than a couple of days.

It's easy to get used to what they want you to do, too! Anna and I don't have any sort of experience with jobs like that, and we caught on pretty quick.

I first found work in a Pokémart with no knowledge of shopkeeping, the local wares or electric appliances, simply by asking. It's surprisingly simple.

[He was also barely a step up from catatonic, but that's obviously irrelevant.]

Department Stores and the lighthouse pay particularly well without requesting credentials, but that would restrict the number of cities in which you could live.

I worked for a little while at the Pokemon Center here in Goldenrod, but found out it wasn't for me...but it wasn't really that hard. Mostly just filing paperwork and stuff. I work at the bookstore now, and it was a lot easier to actually...get the job than I was expecting.

[The moment he mentioned he had prior experience as a barista they pretty much hired him on the spot. Apparently they had trouble keeping long-term workers, especially since trainers were always on the go.]

And there are a lot of other places you could look. Someone told me once that the people here expect for trainers to move between jobs a lot anyway since they have to travel, so they're used to it.

Experience doesn't do crap for anyone anyway.

[ This is coming from the guy who counts "experience" as working 4 different jobs in two months cause he can't keep one for over a week. ]

Honestly, in this place, it's pretty damn easy.

With so many people constantly on the move, your usual places like the Marts and the Centers are almost always looking for temp workers.

And the only thing I've ever seen 'em take issue with is if you leave early, they're usually fine if you wanna stick around longer than the two weeks or however long the contract says.

I've never seen 'em want references or anything, either... they're pretty used to random Trainers needing some side cash to supplement the whole training lifestyle shit.

You just go in and ask for an application. Places around here aren't really picky about who they hire.
