Ash hit his head on the polished yet ugly desk of the pokemon center, upon which he would have liked to place his pokemon in the hopes that one day they would be healed. Greed and incompetence had lead to the price of health to climb infinitely from nothing to 3 berries and a fishing rod of considerable quality. A barter based system was novel in the fact that money had no inherent value as a good or service. This system was used only at these centers, due to the nurses all being bunnies who poop eggs and who have no love of the nation's capitalist overlords. Their greed was more a thirst for the tears of anguish of their preferred clientele, who were rich from the perpetual looting of each other but who's deep wallets failed to remind them to stop and smell the flowers upon which they would realize no berries would ever grow, but for the moment it was the prevalent theory as no-one will ever bother to check.
