Joy arrived to the center early in the morning, as she always did.
She opened the hatch to get behind the counter and started up the
machines, double checking to make sure everything was working and
running. Ciara was not far behind her, humming to herself as she
skipped over to her usual spot to begin helping her trainer work
the healing tray and other equipment. Both were prepared for
whatever was going to come for the pokemon center doors that day,
or at least they hoped so.
Farren stirred in his bed somewhere in the orange ward, having
woken from yet another incredibly strange dream. This had been
happening for a while now, and at this point he was just hoping he
could manage to get back to sleep this time.
Josephine strolled into the center. She somehow looked nervous and
confident at the same time.
Kinshi walks infront of her, having trouble keeping his eyepatch
on.
"Hello, Joy!" Josephine says, Kinshi talking to Ciara.
"You ready for the day?"
Joy turned around with a smile "As ready as i can be. I'm just
getting things booted up right now, since the center opens in a few
minutes." of Nurse Joy was always on call in case of an emergency,
but the center usually opened around 6 am.
Millie entered the building shortly after her co-worker did.
"H-hello, miss Joy. " She said, releasing Lyla from her pokeball.
"Ah! And hello, Josephine." Lyla ruffled her petals as she strode
forward to meet the other two pokemon
Joy nodded appreciatively. "Thanks a bunch!" Millie seemed to be
having difficulty actually saying anything, but smiled and nodded.
"That'd probably be good." she finally managed to mumble.
Joy turned around with a start, suddenly wide awake and all
business, and Ciara ran to her side. "Alright, I'm on it. Bring it
this way, please." She gestured toward the examination room, and
began walking toward it briskly.
Millie watched her go, still standing with Malasi, arm still half
extended in waning shock. "Do you suppose one of us should go help
her? The tech isn't here yet."
Lyla looked up at her trainer, then to the other pokemon. "If
not one of the humans, perhaps one of us should go. The pokemon was
a grass ghost type, if that helps."
Farren gave up trying to sleep again, his cough was keeping him up.
He then heard a commotion from toward the front of the center. He
sat up in the dark, wondering what it was.
Colton came in not soon later, RI behind him. He looked a bit out
of breath, but definitely awake nonetheless. "Sorry... Difficult
morning, everything OK here?" he asked since a bit of tension was
in the air right now.
The trainer followed Joy, along with a small story. “I was
gardening when I smelled something bad coming from right outside my
backyard. Following it lead to what seemed to be a runaway Muk.
This pumpkaboo had been effected by its rampage, im guessing.” He
said with a frown.
Millie looked up at Colton as he arrived. "Oh! Well, um. We've
already had our first arrival of the day. Joy's back there with
them, but the vet tech isn't here yet. We're trying to decide if
one of us should help her out instead" She talked quietly but a bit
urgently.
Joy nodded as she began a cursory examination of the injured
pokemon. She quickly noted that the pokemon seemed to have been
poisoned, and signaled for Ciara to retrieve a pecha berry to try
and lessen the effects. Antidotes were quick, yes, but wild pokemon
tended to prefer to accept berries.
He sighed, one hand on Ri's back. "That's a difficult decision...
But there's little time to think or discuss. I figure at least one
of us should probably head back and check it out..."
As joy continued to evaluated the wounds, she noticed the poison
hadn't faded completely "Hm, that's odd....This isn't standard
poisoning. We may need to keep it here for continuous treatment..."
She got out a form to begin signing it in. As she did, she noticed
Josphine enter the room. "Oh! Josephine, would you mind starting to
bandage its wounds while I fill out the paper work?" She then
turned to the trainer who'd brought the pumpkaboo in. "Thank you
for acting quickly and bringing it in when you did. It might have
died if left in this condition."
Millie watched as Josephine entered the examination room. "Well I
guess we have our answer...I suppose we should go check up on our
respective wards, then." Lyla nodded, and began to head toward the
blue ward.
