Pokémon Court

While explaining the habits and characteristics of Ekans to both of them, they waited for their other companion to return.

After a while, another panting Trainer ran over, holding several Pecha Berries.

However, looking at the situation in front of him, he seemed confused, unsure of what had happened.

After some explanation, Terrance clarified what was going on.

“Pecha Berries have strong antidotal properties and can indeed detoxify, but it’s specifically for Pokémon,” Terrance said. “Us Trainers’ bodies are different from Pokémon, and to detoxify using Pecha Berries, a series of complex procedures have to be followed.”

Once the person bitten by Ekans fully recovered, they looked gratefully at Terrance. It turned out that this group of people had heard some news and was preparing to head to Mt. Moon.

“Mt. Moon?”

“Yes, we heard that a meteor again fell there recently, and people from nearby towns all saw it.”

“There have been many such occurrences in the past, and if lucky, one might discover the embryo stone of a ‘Moon Stone.'”

Due to Terrance helping them, the three of them answered his questions thoroughly and invited him to join them on their journey to Mt. Moon to search for the “Moon Stone.”

“Moon Stone… If such a thing exists, wouldn’t it have been taken long ago?” Terrance wondered.

“No, no. Because we live nearby, and we’ve heard about Mt. Moon since childhood. ‘Moon Stone’ generally falls here as meteorites and slowly undergoes a process of absorbing moonlight. When it will form, no one can predict.”

“Oh, I see.” Terrance hadn’t really delved into the information about formation of Moon Stones, an extraterrestrial resource rarer than evolutionary stones found in nature like Water, Fire, and Thunder Stone.

With that said, Terrance shook his head, expressing that he would go to Mt. Moon but politely declining the trio’s invitation.

He prefers quiet, and unless there were special circumstances, having Pokémon as companions was enough. Traveling alone was more relaxing.

After saying sorry and bidding farewell, Terrance walked out of the forest and arrived at Pewter City.

As the three Trainers had mentioned, Pewter City, the closest city to Mt. Moon, was now packed with Trainers coming from various places.

The number of Trainers gathered in Pewter City was so high that even Officer Jenny had been mobilized, criticizing and educating Trainers who released Pokémon in prohibited areas of the city.

In the midst of so many Trainers, Terrance was rather inconspicuous as he held his Pokédex and entered a Pokémon Center for the first time with a true Trainer identity.

“Please help my Pokémon recover their strength. I’m counting on you, Nurse Joy,” Terrance handed over five Poké Balls to the busy Nurse Joy.

“Of course, please wait a moment.” Nurse Joy smiled.

Interesting…

Terrance was using a Pokémon Center to help his Pokémon recover strength for the first time, but he had been curious about the mechanics of Pokémon Center’s recovery for a long time.

Generally, even if a Trainer wanted to observe the process of Pokémon recovery, Nurse Joy wouldn’t refuse the request. However, seeing that Nurse Joy and Chansey were quite busy, he shook his head.

Anyway, even if he saw it, he wouldn’t understand the core aspects.

If it’s just relieving Pokémon fatigue, minor injuries, and some status conditions, Terrance could handle it himself, and many Breeders can also take on this task. However, Pokémon Center’s handling of these issues is more thorough, perfect and simple.

Terrance had previously learned about the first step in restoring Pokémon at the Pokémon Center from books. It was a frequently used process, involving a “Wave Amplification” and “Wave Reception and Connection” device to perfectly unleash a Pokémon’s moves.

This already falls under the application of technology.

By utilizing technological means, Chansey’s “Heal Pulse” move goes through a series of complex operations such as transformation, amplification and reception before directly acting on the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball to complete the recovery of physical and mental strength.

If there are no severe injuries or fundamental ailments, this process can address 95% of the conditions Pokémon encounter. It’s a technology that the Joy Family takes pride in and relies on to make a living.

This is an exclusive patent of the Joy family. If any faction wants to seize the research results, aside from not knowing how to maximize the use of this technology, simply angering the Joy family is equivalent to indirectly stabbing a knife into the backs of the vast Trainer community. It would lead to resistance from the League and various beneficiary groups.

Furthermore, this technology undoubtedly has complex confidentiality measures. There may be “backdoors” left in the machines, making it not a simple matter to replicate and develop.

Apart from that, injuries beyond the scope healable by the “Heal Pulse” devices are generally perplexing and challenging. Dealing with such issues requires a more intricate and convoluted approach to treatment. It is at this level that the true test for a Nurse Joy arises. This is why the Pokémon Center stipulates, with a sense of responsibility, that even members of the Joy Family must obtain the title of “Intermediate Breeder” before having the right to assume the position of a nurse.contemporary romance

In this world, being a Nurse Joy at Pokémon Center is an extremely noble profession. Their treatment is above all Intermediate Breeders, enjoying subsidies from major organizations such as the League and Breeder Association.

“Please collect your Pokémon; they have all recovered.” After some time, Terrance received the Poké Balls. He thanked Nurse Joy and walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Mt. Moon is actually a mountain range with many floors and various pathways. However, due to the influence of various Pokémon, League has only opened up a cave suitable for walking, and even this cave has a complex structure and is not short in distance. Generally, it is not recommended for Trainers without enough strength to pass through alone.

Although it might take more time, detouring around Mt. Moon is undoubtedly much safer.

Mt. Moon has steep and rugged dangerous areas everywhere, but even so, it can’t stop the enthusiasm of Trainers. Moon Stones are still a precious resource, and who would ignore money that could be picked up by luck?

As for danger, there are currently nearly a hundred Trainers gathered in Mt. Moon, and who would think that any danger could befall them?

Perhaps due to interest or curiosity, Mt. Moon is now completely lively. A piece of extraterrestrial meteorite has gathered many Trainers here.

“I found a newly formed Moon Stone, hahaha!”

Terrance had just arrived when he heard a loud laughter echoing through the air.
