Apparently, there was a rise in Pokémon ending up injured. That was the only reason he could think of to be told about Pokémon being injured. After all, dealing with injured Pokémon was the job of a ranger, so it wasn't like in normal circumstances he needed to be told to keep an eye out for injured Pokémon. Seriously, like he didn't do that already.
[break][break]
A sigh escaped him as he flew on the back of Rook, his Corviknight, scanning the scenery below him. He had been at this since dawn and still hadn't come across any injured Pokémon. He was starting to think this whole thing was a lost cause and he would have to come back tomorrow.
[break][break]
He was just about ready to turn Rook back towards home when a low cry from the great steel bird caught his attention. Blinking, he looked down at his longtime companion.
[break][break]
"Spot something?"
[break][break]
As a bird Pokémon, Rook would have better vision than him, so he would be more likely to spot something if it was too far away.
[break][break]
In answer, Rook simply changed direction, causing them to fly at a bit of an angle for a good ten minutes before he began to descend.
[break][break]
It was once Rook had gotten to a certain height that he heard talking. From what he could tell, it was just one person. A girl, from the cadence of the voice.
[break][break]
They were still high up but low enough that he could kind of make out what was going on. It seemed like he had managed to stumble across an injured Pokémon after all. But from the angle he was at, he couldn't make out what kind of Pokémon it was.
[break][break]
"Hello down there, can you tell me what's going on?" the ranger rookie inquired.[break] Thea Naito

It took a few minutes before he was spotted, but once he was, she greeted him and then immediately told him what the problem was. Good, she wasn’t wasting any time. There wasn’t much else he hated than someone who beat around the bush. He much preferred it when someone got straight to the point.
[break][break]
“Yes,” he said before simply dropping down beside her as the Corviknight continued to hover in the air. "Rook, keep an eye on your surroundings. Whatever left the Staraptor in such a state may still be around,” he called up to the metal bird before turning his attention back to the woman.
[break][break]
He thought she was younger than him. Maybe a few years younger than himself. Considering how many people were on their phones, he was actually surprised someone around his age had noticed anything amiss. Not that he would tell her as much.
[break][break]
“Considering your earlier comment, I’m assuming your Wigglytuff knows a healing move, which I didn’t know they could do. That’s besides the point, though. I also have a Pokémon who has healing,” he explained. “Perhaps if we try and send healing energy from a distance, we can call the staraptor down a bit that way, at least enough to be able to give it a healing potion.”
[break][break]
It wasn’t the best idea one could come up with. It was better than nothing, though, and the best they had when they didn’t have a lot of time.[break] Thea Naito

“True, but the Staraptor might try and bolt if we try to get close to it in that frenzied state,” he pointed out. That was the last thing they wanted. The Staraptor could ended up loosing a lot of blood and collapsing somewhere in that condition. Or it could end up running into whatever had injured it making things even worst.
[break][break]
Learning that Wigglytuff could learn Heal Pulse was definitely a surprise. He wasn’t aware it was a move the dual type could learn. It was something he would have to look more into. Perhaps he could ask that kid.
[break][break]
As the Wigglytuff started to use Heal Pulse on the Staraptor he was alarmed to see the bird Pokémon started to panic worsening the injury he had. Luckily it didn’t last long and the bird pokemon started to relax making him relieved not that he showed any of this maintaining his usual stoic expression. Still the Staraptor wasn’t relaxing near as much as he wanted and doubted it was enough for it to allow either of them to approach.
[break][break]
With that in mind he took out a pokeball releasing a Shiny Galarian Rapidash from its contents. “Use your own Heal Pulse to help calm the Staraptor from a distance. We need them calmed enough to get close enough to give it a healing potion,” he told Celestia.
[break][break]
Having her orders the proud horse Pokémon would add to the Wigglytuffs Pokémon with her own to help calm the Staraptor even further. Seeing the Staraptor calm even further he would turn towards the young woman with a nod. “Try and give the Staraptor the potion now. I’ll still probably have to take them to my superiors so they can make sure everything turned out alright, but I still can’t teleport them in that condition.”[break] Thea Naito

To his relief, between the combined effort of both of their Pokémon, the injured Staraptor started to relax further. Between how tired it looked and the fact it looked tired, Ever speculated that it wouldn’t try to fight them anymore if either of them approached, so he indicated that the young woman should use her potion on the wild Pokémon.
[break][break]
Just as he thought, despite using the potion and despite their combined efforts, the Staraptor wasn’t fully healed yet. “I was afraid of that. Whatever injured it really did a number on it. Not to worry though, my superiors will take care of the rest,” he told the teen before taking out a pokeball and turning more fully towards the teen.
[break][break]
“In order for us to transport it, we have to temporarily catch it. And the best way to CAPTURE it is to use a pokeball. When it’s fully recovered, we release it back to the wild. We do it this way because it’s easier to prevent it from worsening its injuries,” he told her before moving closer to the Staraptor, making sure to appear as non-threatening as possible.
[break][break]
Once close enough, he would talk softly to the staraptor to keep it calm before getting the staraptor into the Pokémon. Once that was done, he would turn back to the teen. “Thanks for the help. I can’t say I’ve come across many civilians trying to do our job. It’s for reasons like this that I often go on patrols even when I don’t need to. Anyway, my name’s Ever.”

“Yes, I’ve been a ranger for around a year now. I often tend to Pokémon even when I’m off the clock though,” he admitted with a small shrug. Of course that wasn’t one of those times. He was actually on patrol when he was supposed to be, and as far as he knew, none of his fellow rangers knew he patrolled even when he was off the clock. Of course, even if they did, it wasn’t as if he would CHANGE his ways.
[break][break]
Mentally shaking himself, he returned to the conversation at hand. Committing her name to memory, he spoke. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Thea, and no need to thank me; it’s just part of the job, and don’t worry about it; there's no telling how worse off things would be if I hadn’t had your help,” he stated, ignoring the slight discomfort from the gratitude thrown his way. With the way he had grown up, being shown gratitude made him just a bit uncomfortable, not that he showed it.
[break][break]
Now if her presence had made things worse, it would be different. But since that wasn’t what happened, he wasn’t bothered by the fact she had decided to get involved. Though he was sure others might be. On the other hand, if it had been him hurt and she had decided to help him, there would probably be words; he wasn’t the best at accepting help.[break] Thea Naito
