"Ah, welcome..."
The voice speaks through the mind, not the ears, and is as calm as a summer breeze wafting over a field. The source is a Slowking at the middle of the fieldhouse standing atop a raised mound; though the Pokémon does not look in any particular direction, that is clearly the source of the telepathic voice.
"The humans call me Gaur. Fellow Pokémon call me 'teacher'. Either name is fine to me. I am gifted in unlocking the true potential of Pokémon. However, the use of this building incurs costs, and so I must unfortunately tell you to pay my friends for the building's upkeep...
"If you are interested, these are the services I may provide..."Colloquially called 'Move Tutor' moves. These are most often moves that a Pokémon cannot learn without the aid of an instructor. I may teach such moves no matter the discipline's origin unless it is very old. The oldest discipline I may teach from are the "Ruby," "Sapphire," and "Emerald" disciplines. Newer disciplines, such as "Diamond" or "Black or White," are also within my realm of expertise, and of course I can teach Move Tutor moves from the most modern of disciplines. These cost 250 spruzzo.
"Moves that some Pokémon are born knowing due to their parents having the same move, called 'egg moves' by humans. Within every Pokémon lays the potential to unlock these moves. These cost 400 spruzzo.
"Dream and special event moves. There are times when a Pokémon may learn from dreams, or when they may only learn a move from a certain holiday event. Some events are too old to teach from, so please clarify with one of my human friends if an event is too old before paying. I may teach these moves to your Pokémon for 400 spruzzo.
"Long-forgotten or recently-forgotten moves are a trivial matter. Some Pokémon learn moves as they train on their own, but they may forget older ones in the process, or they might opt to not learn a specific move in order to focus on existing ones. I may re-teach these Pokémon quite easily, even if they never learned the move. I may also do this for Pokémon that evolved before learning a move, such as Breloom and Spore. However, in these cases, they must be at the appropriate level to learn the move. This costs 100 spruzzo.
"Abilities are thought to be innate, but they can be changed with proper training. I may teach your Pokémon another ability their species may have, be it Dream World or otherwise. 100 spruzzo is the cost for this service.
"I look forward to training your Pokémon. Simply speak to one of the people here to begin your Pokémon's training."
