He notes the location/price of the Photo Balls, but he's already got a couple.

Janice seems disappointed by your lack of adventurous when it comes to her full selection, but concedes and gets you your new Camera. "No warranty for this level of purchase, so if you break it you're paying full price for repairs or a replacement!"
You decide to take your time getting to the Survival Center, letting your feet and ears drag you all over to see if you can pick up any Insight as to where to find some Wailmer at...

Not much word to be had about getting yourself a whale of a Pokemon around here, especially from the locals who scoff at your attemtps to get info out of them, but you do manage to get a small Lead from a fisherman on a shopping trip - The Deep Sea Diving businesses or the Marina Fleet might be avenues to finding yourself that Mon, as Wailmers tend to either be far out at sea and/or located in the depths. Looks like you'll have to do some scrounging around there and sleuthing/socializing to see you'll get your chance to see an Oran of the Seas...
"Not sure why you're bothering with one of those behemoths, mate. Sure, their Size is great, and if you can grow them up to a Wailord they're almost impossible to wear out, but they're not exactly suited for the Land or most places ya can Battle in. Being Big also makes ya a more attractive target to swarms of Wild critters looking for their next juicy meal. Ah, but what do I know? I just like catching the small fishies and Mons, not any of those water fiends of huge monsters of the deep!" is what the fisherman says to you before you part ways. They're also open to a 1v1 Battle with their Staryu, citing they want to toughen them up a bit to be a more reliable Illuminate Lure for him, but if perfectly fine if the offer is declined.
