“Thanks for coming out here, Doc.” It’s a pleasant enough attempt at a greeting, but he doubts the seeds of goodwill will take root. Above them is a beautiful full moon. It’s freshly risen, coating the seaside in resplendent white light. Hovering over the bay like little motes of light are ghost Pokemon. Their red eyes and incandescent forms stare out at the mortals going to and fro.[break][break]
They’ve been there ever since the battle. Nations care little for the comforts of individuals. They fought their great battle, lost, and now the aftermath is his to deal with.[break][break]
It’s a simple enough call. One of the local boys, Jacob, got lost in rifts during the battle. Everything was going haywire that day. No one even noticed he was gone until the big players were all gone. Jacob washed up on shore two weeks later. Ever since then, he’s been odd.[break][break]
Little boys are made for playing. They’re meant to run about, making their own fun. Jacob simply stares out at the sea. He was never that quiet before, or so his parents said.[break][break]
Tonight, under the beauty of the full moon, he’s fallen ill. Most of the local doctors aren’t on call. It’s fallen to an outsider to see after the boy. Ordinarily, you wouldn’t get a police escort to a house call. Ordinary isn’t a word many people use about Dewford.[break][break]
His Pokemon are all undergoing a routine inspection tonight. Ordinarily, he’d space things out so one of his big ticket mons were with him. Sadly, the schedule just didn’t work out. It’s only one night. How bad could things get in one night?[break][break]
“Shit’s been weird in this town. Ghost Pokemon everywhere. People going missing in the caves. Not even safe to drive after dark sometimes.” He’s half thinking out loud, half justifying his presence in this affair.[break][break]
“Kid won’t wake up apparently. Been mumbling in his sleep. Parents won’t take him to the hospital.” Rolling down a window, he lights up a cigar. It’s for the nerves, mostly. “That’s a problem for CPS, but we gotta get through tonight first.”

"Mhm."

The thanks are briefly acknowledged, and swiftly moved past, for Levi has no need for them. He didn't choose to walk his path to dry crying eyes and bring smiles to frowning faces. Gratitude will not pay his bills, nor will it bring him closer to his goals. For that, he needs connections, friends in high places that can pull the strings on his behalf. To that end, the opportunity to get into the good books of a gym leader is a blessing he cannot deny, especially one such as Navidson. The doctor can't claim to know him very well, but he knows plenty about him. Gossip comes to you quick when hundreds of faces step into your clinic on any given day. If even half of what he's heard about the man is true, then he wants the self-styled sheriff to owe him as many favours as is possible.

That's not the sole reason he's here, of course. Obligation to his oath means even if he wanted to, he could not deny this task. But beyond even that, it's the thought of that child, afraid and alone and abandoned by those supposed to protect him, that causes his missing eye to ache. It simply will not do.

He's only half listening to Navidson's explanation. When trying to solve a problem, one cannot be bogged down by the preconceptions and biases of others. For a matter as delicate as this, he wants his mind as fresh and unburdened as possible. But, what little he does hear is troubling.

"I see..." Levi mumbles to himself. The symptoms bring to mind a feverish state, but he doubts it's as simple as a mere fever. No, he wouldn't be called out here for something so obvious. People don't call industrial engineers to change lightbulbs, and they don't call practicing doctors to adminster potions. Shutting his eye, he shakes his head. Until he sees the boy for himself, all he can do is manage expectations. "I can make no promises, Mr Navidson, that I can cure what ails the patient. The human body is a miracle of biology, but I am not a miracle worker. I will do what I can, but whether or not that is enough, is another matter entirely."

“Not asking for a miracle.” His voice trails off. It’s Navy’s truck. Another drag off the cigar helps with his nerves. “Even if it’d be nice.” There are people in far-off Ever Grande who can work miracles. They’re far too busy authorizing a madman’s suicide rush into civilian-rich territory to worry about lone children. With shepherds like these, it doesn’t surprise him that sheep get led astray.[break][break]
They arrive at the home shortly. It’s a quaint little building close to nothing, as much as anyone can be close to nothing on this island. The house is built in a rustic style reminiscent of 40’s architecture. When it was first built, doubtless it was the trendiest building around. It’s fallen out of fashion in the near-century since.[break][break]
Bathed in moonlight, it still holds a certain beauty. Behind it, a dark ocean reflects that same light.[break][break]
At the door, they’re greeted by a woman with apprehensive eyes and bad posture. She can’t keep eye contact with Navy. Her eyes dart to Levi’s eyepatch again and again.[break][break]
“Thank you so much for coming, Sheriff.” She says.[break][break]
“Thank Dr. Lovelace. Nancy, your son could’ve died cause you didn’t wanna take him to the hospital.”[break][break]
“Sheriff, sir. We can’t move him. We can’t. His stomach’s too swollen. He’d burst.”[break][break]
Nervousness prevails. Navy looks to Levi, making no secret of how uneasy that news makes him.[break][break]
“You didn’t think to tell me that on the phone?”[break][break]
Before she can answer, a child screams.
