Pokemon Center Check Up

[OLDDIRK]

Having arrived in Viridian City with relatively little trouble, Rose took a moment to consider her priorities. It was probably best to give the newly named Agamotto a check-up at the Pokemon Center to see if she was malnourished.

Walking calmly through the sliding glass doors, Rose saw a slightly bored-looking nurse at the front counter. When she got close enough to the counter to make it clear she wanted service, the nurse put on an obviously fake smile. "Hello, are you in need of assistance?"

"Yes. I just obtained this Tirtouga. She looks pretty malnourished. I want to make sure she's healthy." Agamotto's pokeball was handed over the counter.

"I see. Well, you'll have to take your Pokemon to a doctor in the back rooms if you want a manual inspection. I'll ring one up for you."

"Will do." Rose watched as the doctor took the Pokeball and then sat in a chair near the entrance to the back rooms. She took out her laptop to update her blog - Pokemon Centers always have public wi-fi.

When the doctor came back out, his uniform was slightly ripped in the shape of a bitemark. Urgh, she knew that was going to happen. Pokemon are so very predictable. At least people surprised her every now and then.

"Looks like your Tirtouga hasn't eaten in quite some time. She wasn't too happy. In the future, please take better care of your Pokemon. If you weren't so young, I would have that Pokemon confiscated."

"...Err." Sweet Arceus, how did it slip her mind that the doctor might think SHE was the negligent one? Right when she was thinking about how great she was at predicting people, too. Surely this was just a coincidentally-timed slip-up. "Did the nurse not tell you that my Tirtouga was found that way?"

"Don't play with me, young lady. I've had too many young trainers come in here because they forgot to feed their Pokemon." He nearly shoved the pokeball into Rose's hand.

Young lady? What was she, four? "I will not stand here and be falsely accused of a crime. Ask the nurse if you don't believe me."

However, the doctor was already going through the door to the back rooms, clearly ignoring her.

"Argh..." Rose just went back to her laptop to finish writing her blog entry. Someone wasn't going to get a very positive review online.

Viridian City sure isn't anything like Hoenn ever was! For the most part, Kanto seems to consist of relatively simple, landlocked cities with more-or-less pretty scenery. It sure is a far cry from Feferi's home town, quite literally placed on the water!

But Feferi doesn't mind. If anything, this change in pace entices her -- think, this wasn't even the only other region in the world! Think of all the differences between them! And how different all the people must be!
The thought of the unknown makes a little spring go into her step, and makes her that much happier. It was great, knowing that the world always had surprises in store!

She heads to the Pokemon center, because it's generally understood that one should always be familiar with each city's Pokemon center. Nomia isn't hurt, but maybe they had a water dispenser that she could douse her with. That silly Wailmer can't ever get enough water!

Feferi steps in through the sliding glass doors and nearly chokes from the overly clean, rubbery smell of the place. Out of courtesy, it seems that someone has set an air freshener at the corner of the main counter. It really only succeeds in making the place smell like fake, anti-bacterial lemons, but Feferi supposes that at least they're trying.

Luckily, there's a water cooler in one of the corners, so Feferi wastes no time in letting her Pokemon out of its Pokeball. Nomia flops on the floor and rolls over a little weakly, her body slightly shriveled from water loss.
Yikes! Feferi pushes Nomia over and settles her right by the tap. Instead of pulling the lever and letting the water drain on her Pokemon, though, she unscrews the water jug from the top, places a hand over the end to prevent spills, and positions it over Nomia. She pulls her hand away and lets the five (or maybe more!) gallons of water rush over her Pokemon.

Hey, it's free, right?

After the water is gone, Feferi rolls Nomia up to soak up where it had splashed onto the floor, and then returns her to her Pokeball.
That should keep her going for a bit! Feferi only regrets that she didn't get to drink any. She was super thirsty!

She sighs and cracks her back, and then elects to go sit down for a bit.
And whoa, isn't that one of the people she had met with? Before they had all left Pallet Town?
She doesn't know her too well, but it's better to know someone by face than not at all! Feferi sits down pleasantly next to her.

"Hey there! Remember me? I was there at Pallet!" She says, and swings her short legs back and forth. "How's your journey been so far?"

Rose was so focused on ripping the doctor a new one in her blog that she almost didn't notice the long-haired troll girl moving towards her.

When the friendly girl sat down right next to her, Rose moved a few inches away from her. Perhaps she was a little too friendly...

"Oh... Hello. You are... Feferi, correct? My name is Rose." Secretly, Rose only remembered her name because she was the only female seadweller out of all the trolls she had met. Of course she wouldn't say that though, as that might seem troll-racist. Or troll-classist. Actually, both. Fuck the blood caste system.

"My journey has been easy enough so far. How about yours?" It was already apparent that Feferi was one of those annoying extroverts that talked to everybody they saw about the weather. She seemed nice enough, though. Besides, Rose was fully cognizant of the fact that she needed to get out and talk to people more. That was one of the smaller reasons she decided to go on her Pokemon journey.
