With Mito:
"Huh...Cress...if you don't mind me asking, sir, could I get that address from you? I'd definitely want to pay ya a visit if we happen to be in the area. And it's good to know the roads are clear to the west. Though this one looked rather clear too before that Rhyhorn showed up...well, we're not far from Cress, so it's probably safe, but be careful with the drive back all the same."
And with that, he can also look up family history stuff later (or get Bill to do it). A name and an address is some good intel. (Last name would be some good information too if Nathan could get it).
"...oh, and...I don't think there's any more problems since Calam, Dizzy, and Gallade seem rather calm about everything right now, but...do you know that Stoutland that leaped into your carriage after we stopped the Rhyhorn? I'm honestly wondering where the heck that dog came from and what the heck it was trying to do..."
TLDR; Ask for an address and about that Stoutland!

With Dr. M:
After looking at what's available and what Dr. M is selling and how he's selling it...Nathan realizes why the doc looks familiar!
He mentally facepalms when he does, too. '...of course...well, at least most of his products are likely to be reliable and do exactly what they say on the tin...even if it's hard to tell if he's being truthful about the origins of the items...' (note: this is before the big name drop)
Whatever Nathan realized, it definitely seemed to convince him that the quality of the products is at least genuine (minus the Ekans Essence and maybe the 'treasure maps'. And the Izers, which are certainly NOT homeopathic to Nathan's knowledge...).
Nathan digs around in his bag for a moment. He's not sure he wants to trade his Shiny Dwebble Shells, seeing how Terra only got half of what he'd estimated for them while trading his own shells...but there is one item he knows he wants to sell off...
...mostly because few others would take it. Nathan has literally nothing to lose by selling this item to one of the only people who would possibly take it, so he might as well take advantage of that, right?
What Nathan sets on Dr. M's counter is a pink tail with a white tip. "Genuine Slowking Tail. A little spoiled since I found it a little while back, but maybe you can still do something with it and the secretions from its tip. How about one of those ElectrIzers and 10 of those Tinctures in exchange for it? Oh, and also...as much as I appreciate the gift of these 3 Oran Berries, could I swap them plus this fourth one I have for a Pecha, a Rawst, and 2 Chestos?"
Nathan is entirely not surprised when Dr. M namedrops himself dramatically, for the record.
Shopping List:
Slowking Tail ($1500) -> 1 ElectrIzer + 10 Tinctures of Ramses ($1500 total. That ElectrIzer is actually a great deal since Magnets are $2k in 2017! Means I don't have to go to the Department Store to get an Electric boosting item, either!)
4 Oran Berries (1 to 1 conversion) -> 2 Chesto Berries, 1 Rawst Berry, 1 Pecha Berry (huh...that's weird...Chestos and Persims are the only 'common' berries in the book...that's an interesting design choice the writers made...)

With Spira: (@Mikaruge108)
Nathan's sat down next to Gallade, Calam, and Starmie while waiting for everyone else to finish shopping/bartering/browsing, not wanting to recall them yet since there's so many people around (and he just enjoys spending time with his pokemon). It's easy enough for Spira to come on over and talk.
Though Nathan didn't expect the question to be about that. Calam awkwardly shifts his sitting position, feeling uncomfortable with the topic.
"...honestly, I don't know how he got that scarred eye. He's had it for a lot longer than Gallade and I have been friends with him. I don't really want to pry, though, to be honest."
Nathan smiles, then changes the topic.
"Gallade and Calam don't seem to mind your company, though. That's a good sign, in my opinion."
----------
With Terra: (@Lord Windos)
Terra asking about those maps is certainly a pleasant surprise. "Yeah, I'll take a look at 'em. I'm honestly wondering what they depict myself." 'And if they're any good at all...', he adds to himself. Well, does Nathan recognize any of the places on those maps, @Iron?
As a whispered aside when Terra hands him the maps: "By the way, did you account for inflation when doing your bartering earlier?"
"Huh...Cress...if you don't mind me asking, sir, could I get that address from you? I'd definitely want to pay ya a visit if we happen to be in the area.
