Chapter 233 This is my calling
The world is the world, without black or white, without appearance or reality—Hugo didn't think his view of the world was any different from that of ordinary people. ♢🐚 ➅❾ร𝒽Ｕ𝓍.Ć𝕠๓ 😳♖
If there's anything different, it's that Miss Joey, who's currently glaring at him, has an expression that's a little too fierce...
This is understandable, given that Hugo brought over fifty heavily injured patients to the hospital, further exacerbating the already limited bed occupancy rate at the Pokémon Center in Fuyuki City. Naturally, Nurse Joy, who had arrived with the ambulance convoy to work overtime, wasn't going to give him a very friendly look.
"Head Nurse, you don't have to be so pessimistic."
In the ambulance's medical room, Hugo deduced the nurse's rank from the style of her cap. Facing the unfriendly-looking nurse, the detective carefully laid out the facts, attempting to comfort her.
"These trainers should be transferred to regular hospitals for treatment. Even if some patients are assigned to Pokémon Centers, the number won't be too large. It won't affect the normal operation of the Pokémon Centers."
Joey sighed, shook his head with an expression that said, "Looks like you don't know anything," and replied to the detective in black—
"As someone who has worked in Fuyuki City for over a decade, I've met almost every Pokémon Trainer in the city, but you're a complete stranger. No wonder you don't know the inside story. In fact, most of the patients you've brought in are renowned trainers in the local battle arena, including several elite trainers with the potential to collect all the Gym Badges. 💝😎 ✋👽"
You pointed to the trainers lying side by side under the stretchers inside the vehicle. Although we were defeated by Yorgus's Landorus, we are still not qualified to challenge Aldera's elite trainers, so it's only natural that we have no reputation in Blowtree City.
"Since those trainers themselves have fallen into such a miserable state, it's likely that the Pokémon we brought with us were also spared, and probably lost their ability to battle long ago. And now, if there aren't seventy trainers lying outside the ambulances, it means that the Pokémon Center will have to delay its preparations to receive eight hundred injured Pokémon at the same time... Sigh, just thinking about such a scene makes my stomach cramp."
"It seems the Unova League is holding some kind of event at the foot of the Tower of Heaven. Team Plasma heard about it and came out to cause trouble, knocking out the trainers gathered in the distance," Nurse Joy explained, half-jokingly.
Using convenient medicine instead of medical treatment is a mistake that only occurs when there is no Plasma Team. After all, there are no Pokémon Centers available everywhere, and many League Trainers treat Pokémon injuries in the same way during their journeys.
"Please ask him to help find the Pokémon that Team Plasma stole."
"As far as you know, the one who attacked those trainers was an executive from Team Plasma, and I was in charge of cleaning up the mess. These guys don't have a normal obsession with liberating Pokémon, so before defeating those trainers, they want to take these Pokémon to the wilderness to release them—or rather, our goal isn't to release these Pokémon, and defeating the trainers who are their owners is just a side task."
In reality, while the medicine wasn't as good as treatment at a professional hospital, it was enough for the Pokémon to recover from their injuries during their journey. Pokémon are creatures with extremely weak regenerative abilities. Otherwise, these wild Pokémon that were knocked unconscious by their trainers in the grass would have been in even worse shape if they hadn't received any human treatment.
However, Joey did not voice his rebuttal, because doing so would make him seem like he was defending the atrocities of the Plasma Group, and it would be a terrible mishap if he were misunderstood.
Sister Hugo calmed down a little, but still shook her head firmly in rebuttal.
"what?"
"Speaking of which, why are all these trainers gathered at the Tower of Heaven? So many powerful trainers were defeated, how did he manage to escape?"
"After releasing them, the Team Plasma members will use items like healing potions to restore the Pokémon's stamina, which is a case of releasing them out of kindness. The release sites are also categorized according to the Pokémon's attributes and ecology. Generally, they are open areas with few natural predators and abundant food and water, which basically cannot guarantee that the Pokémon can live a self-sufficient life."
"A detective who specializes in solving mysteries and troubles."
"Team Plasma? We're going to take injured, dying Pokémon back into the wild? Are we just letting them die there?"
Hugo took the business card, looked it over, and suddenly seemed lost in thought: "In that case, why don't you give him a commission as well?"
"His stomach pain was probably for nothing," the detective considerately reminded the head nurse. "The Pokémon Center is usually packed with dying Pokémon, at least today. None of the trainers had a single Poké Ball under them, because all the Pokémon we brought were taken by the attackers."
"What's your profession?" Hugo asked curiously.
"Is that so..." Hugo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the detective with some skepticism.
"That's certainly a busy day for business. Go ahead, you seem to be able to handle almost anything within the scope of detective work. Or would he like to see your price list first?"
With a flick of the finger, a piece of cardboard fell out of the box.
Head Nurse Hugo raised her eyebrows and tried to suppress her anger by speaking in a low voice, as if she were about to explode.
"Is it this green-haired guy? Didn't you see? I looked like I was begging him for something."
"Anyway, your daughter has informed the police station there about the specific situation. She sent over a bunch of photos of trainers lying on the scene. Even the most agile officers should have taken the incident seriously by now. If the few Team Plasma officers in charge of the cleanup are just big shots, they should be able to recover these trainers in a few days."
"That's true. Judging from past cases, this organization does a decent job in that area." Having already conducted thorough research, Zeng Yan shook her head and answered truthfully.
"Strained muscles need rest, worn-out joints need care, displaced fractures must be treated promptly, not to mention the injuries caused by Zeng Yanyong's attacks. These places need to be treated one by one with the right remedy—what kind of idea is it to just apply some medicine and release them back into the wild? That's not liberating the spirits, that's practically killing lives!"
"All you can offer in return is pocket money and free medical skills, and the commissioned work is quite complicated." The head nurse had a brilliant idea on her face—
The other party's statement was not an exaggeration; it was a conviction that only medical workers who take it upon themselves to protect patients would uphold.
Yuqi Residence, Feiyun City, Joey Detective Agency. The detective's signature leans against the corner of the business card, the font being a serious and elegant Gothic style.
"Yes, even if that's the case, it's fine. Pokémon injuries can't be healed with just a little bit of low-level medicine. If that were the case, what would be the point of having your Pokémon Center?"
"You didn't tell the hospital the specifics over the emergency call, so his family probably forgot to tell him," Zeng Yan explained patiently.
"It's a professional habit, I guess. You'll take on any job unless there's a suitable one." Joey expertly pulled a large box of business cards from her pocket and opened it quickly and deliberately.
"You arrived at the scene before the attack, thus escaping unscathed. Due to your profession, you deduced the general outline of the incident from the traces at the scene, and even chatted with some strange guy who wandered in while waiting for the ambulance."
