Curing Eevee (2)

Jun and Mia, his aunt, hurriedly went to Nurse Joy and explained everything that had happened.

Nurse Joy smiled and said, "Okay, you two will wait here for a second. I will check your Eevee first."

Jun handed Eevee to Nurse Joy and waited anxiously while his aunt refrained from disturbing him.

Soon, Nurse Joy came out, but her expression was now serious, unlike before. A Chansey followed her, wearing a similar expression. "Sorry, but may I know beforehand if this Eevee is yours? Do you know what happened to it before it became like this?" she asked seriously.

Jun's heart sank upon hearing this. He knew that Pokerus was real, and the cure was still unknown to this day. He shook his head and replied firmly, "No, this Eevee is a wild Pokemon that I planned to tame."

His answer surprised his aunt. 'Eevee as a starter Pokemon?' she thought. While many people choose Eevee as their starter Pokemon due to its cuteness and docile nature, its price is also relatively acceptable for most families so basically Eevee is categorize as side starter pokemon for most people.

But for Jun, who came from an elite family, why choose Eevee? Even if he asked for a champion-level Pokemon or a pseudo-legendary-level Pokemon, his family would give it to him tomorrow.

She was confused and couldn't help but ask, "Jun, are you sure you want this Eevee as your starter Pokemon? Even if you asked for a champion-level Pokemon or a pseudo-legendary-level Pokemon, your family would give it to you tomorrow."

Jun only nodded seriously in response. His aunt hesitated for a moment before giving up on persuading him. Jun looked at his aunt taking a step back and sighed in relief. Little did he know, his aunt had already sent a message to his sister-in-law, Jun's mother, about the situation here.

After thinking for a while, Jun asked carefully, "May I know what happened? Can Eevee be cured?"

Nurse Joy only shook her head slightly. "We know the cause of Eevee's sickness, but all of our medicines and drugs we used dissolved mysteriously before they reached Eevee's antibodies. We think maybe it's a new virus or a mutation of one. We need to confirm it first before clarifying it."

Jun hesitated a little before asking, "Hmm, Nurse Joy, can I help you take care of Eevee? I promise I will not cause trouble, and because it's my starter Pokemon, I think it will be better for me to take care of it first."

"Jun, don't make trouble. Matters like this must be handled by a specialist. Just leave everything to Nurse Joy here," his aunt reprimanded him.

Jun only innocently said, "But aunt, the time for choosing a starter Pokemon is almost over. If I don't get a starter Pokemon now, then I will have to wait to register as a trainer next month. Then I will miss the school competition later."

Aunt Mia was startled and looked at her watch. There were only 15 minutes left for choosing a starter Pokemon. She hesitated a little while looking at Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy also hesitated, but looking at Jun's innocent face, she finally grabbed her phone and dialed someone. After talking for a while, she said, "Okay, you can accompany Eevee, but you need to sign an agreement first. If something happens to you or Eevee, the Pokemon Center will not take responsibility for it. Second, you two will be placed in an isolation room, and you also must use protective suit. Do you agree?"

Jun was ecstatic when he heard it. The isolation room was basically perfect because he was afraid that if Eevee was placed with other Pokemon while being treated, the virus would spread to other Pokemon as well.

"Yes Ma'am" Jun agreeing

"Jun!!!" His aunt was distressed with her naughty nephew. What happened to him today? Where's his shy and introverted nature from before?

Without giving his aunt a chance to react, he strode over to Nurse Joy and disappeared down the long corridor of the Pokemon Center. His aunt could only ruffle her hair and call Jun's mother to explain everything.

After walking for a while, Jun looked back, and when he saw no sign of his aunt, he sighed with relief and gained a chuckle from Nurse Joy.

"Alright, come here. First, put on this protective suit. Your Eevee is already placed in that room. You only need to go to that room, and if you're hungry or thirsty, there's a small room behind it. Your daily necessities will also be there. Understand?" She asked.

"Yes, ma'am," Jun answered.

Soon, Jun put on the protective suit and entered the room, and he was surprised. "Wow, this is basically like a 5-star hotel. Do I really get to live here for free?"

Nurse Joy was amused. "Of course, you have to pay. Is the Pokemon Center like a charity for you? But a Pokemon case like yours is very rare, and this room is almost never used. I can say that maybe you are the second person to use this room since this Pokemon Center was built."

"So, that's it," Jun acknowledged, not caring about the money. After all, his family was rich, and they could reimburse whatever they wanted.
