Just this morning, she’d received a call of a bird in distress. And she couldn’t resist lending a hand, not when the clinic had space. Besides, after all the war injuries, a simple broken wing would be a breath of fresh air. Now, she just had to capture it and bring it in for an exam.
[break][break]

A purple Oricorio accompanied her. While her Dragonite wanted to come, his size would make it hard to navigate the route. Even if he tiptoed, there’d be a lot of broken branches in his wake. It felt weird not to have Alastor beside her. But he was too busy scrolling through memes and eating homemade coffee cake to come. Not to mention the place was muddy.
[break][break]


The Heliolisk despised dirt.

[break][break]

This wasn’t an issue with Ricardo. The dancing bird flitted gracefully from branch to branch, his wings allowing him to easily pull ahead of his trainer. Occasionally, the ghost-type bird would pivot to fix the redhead with a stare.
[break][break]


“See anything, Ricardo?” The bird shook his head.

[break][break]

Occasionally, the doctor stopped to lift her binoculars. Still no sign of her patient.

To be compared to a professor—like her friend Eva—would flabbergast Aubre. But it wasn’t a wrong impression. She just spent all her time looking in funhouse mirrors. Though there was still some pride under there, a lot of it had been as scorched as her back. But one labcoat is enough to remind Aubre of another self. The one that wasn’t too weak to withstand the fire that scorched her; the one that lived.
[break][break]


The Blissey waddles over to a nearby stool. How its tiny flippers reach the keyboard isn’t clear, but it’s typing away. Its beady eyes flit briefly to the junior doctor. That same examining stare makes Aubre shiver. Though no words are spoken, the ginger can translate it well enough. The fairy-type was impatient to have the woman gone. When darkness fell, the clinic became hers. And, last she checked, this was meant to be the start of a vacation.
[break][break]


Emerald eyes narrow for an instance. A gentle warning not to push her departure. Every patient deserved her full attention. Even ones that were completely healthy. Or, at least, ones that weren’t fully confirmed healthy. “They normally wouldn’t go after something this big—” She wondered if the psychic-type had been attracted by the shine of the strands. Or, more likely, trying to net a Spinarak kabob. “But if she wrecked their nest…” The doctor let the sentence trail off. Surely, her imagination wasn’t the only one that could fill in the blanks.

[break][break]

A brief conversation ensues between the ostrich and the taciturn Blissey. A simple nod from the egg bearer confirms Aubre’s suspicions. “Yes, she’s all right. Just excited.” For a moment, there’s a ripple of frustration. But that quickly fades. She shakes her head in self admonishment. Don’t be selfish. You want people to bring Pokemon here. Even a small sign can be a big deal. Besides, a healthy patient was something to celebrate. “It’s all right.” Her lips pull upward in a slight smile. “I’d rather you bring her in and not need me than the opposite.”
[break][break]

Maybe she wouldn’t mention that some of those signs of gratitude were flirtatious. People could get awkward about that.

[break][break]

In the lobby, there’s a croak of celebration. A ping erupts from her computer. Brat. The doctor turns to glare at the screen.
[break][break]


But the clack of claws on the tile draws her back to her patient. A smile curls normally anxious lips. She watches as the bird wraps her neck around Lisette. Its beak opens as it sifts through its trainer’s hair. Things like this made her appreciate her job. So much of what she did was the worst part of caring for Pokemon. Seeing creatures that were scared or injured fighting for their life. Being forced to watch as some asshole treated sentient creatures like a knick-knack.
[break][break]


And, in fact, more than made up for buying lunch tomorrow (not that anyone else ever did).
[break][break]


“We did see signs of a yeast infection on her toes, but I’ll send you home with some cream—”

At least there would be no unconscious humans to deal with today. Certainly, she had no issues dealing with Pokemon fluids. But something about human vomit and stress hit differently.
[break][break]

“There shouldn’t be too much blood anyway.” The bat’s wings were full of capillaries, but there wasn’t any major vessels to worry about. With work occupying her mind, any remnants of nervousness vanished. Green eyes fixed on the task at hand. Another tear vanished as she pulled a row of stitches together. In the bright lights, the opalescent thread glittered brilliantly--like spider gossamer.
[break][break]


“And then there were four.” That meant she was a third—and infinitesimal decimal thirds—done. Aubre stepped back for a moment to survey the work. Satisfied with what she’d done, the doctor walked to the top of the table. There, she moved to a smaller tear. It was in an inconvenient place, however. Just off the middle seam line. This position allowed her to face Lulu head on.
[break][break]


Figy berries, huh? That bit of information might come in handy later.
[break][break]


“You must have been honored.” Her gaze briefly flitted to her own shiny. The Jumpluff just grinned at her trainer. “Most of my Pokemon are rescues.” There were only a handful of exceptions—Alastor was one of them. “A few of them couldn’t survive on their own, but most of them just chose to stay.” said it was because she spoiled them. But she didn’t think that.
[break][break]


Aubre just treated them like people.
[break][break]


“I think they like the perks.” At least no one in her house tried to eat anyone.

This was a test. Not for herself nor for her Pokemon. This wasn't even about Lam. It was her husband in the hot seat.
[break][break]
Beneath the supposed wedded bliss were doubts. These weren’t foreign to Aubre. But recent events had brought them to the forefront. Like an infection highlighting the pain of an open wound. While she had begun to forgive him for his more serious crimes, feelings of being infantilized threatened. Though his behaviors at the prison had been knightly--even now he could not do much unassisted—they had come charged with second guesses.
[break][break]

Everything she’d tried to do had been taken from her. Like a toddler who’d been excited to master the kitchen. But Aubre knew she couldn’t trust her own brain. It conjured phantoms and not all of them were dog shaped. The doctor had also been under the influence of poison at the time. So, this battle was meant to highlight these issues. Or, at least, let her pass unbiased judgment.
[break][break]

Her clumsy tongue only highlighted her own fallibility. “Planning to take on the entire circuit with us? Make co-champion?” She stammers with a red cheek.
[break][break]

The gym leader’s easy manner made Aubre relax. She returned the smile. For a moment, there was a more innocent, useful touch to her smile. An open expression Leon would remember from younger years. “I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t.” Which wasn’t completely true. But it sounded nice. Emerald eyes caught her husband’s as the two Pokemon hit the field. An interesting pairing. They cover each other’s weaknesses pretty well. Look how ruby that Flygon's scales are!

[break][break]
She figured this bird was built like her Oricorio. It was good at set-up and dodging, but its power options were limited. That didn’t mean she could write it off. Pokemon were all wildcards in their own rights. And Leon’s team was weak to it in two different ways. But without knowing what was in the wings, it was hard to pick one of the thousand plans racing through her mind.. Fortunately, there was a way to fix that.
[break][break]

“Al! You ready?” The lizard set his cellphone down. He nodded. Her Heliolisk stepped forward with a sneer at the mafioso next to him. Maybe he’d get a chance to ‘accidentally’ ruin that stupid suit. But he’d agreed to play nice, hadn’t he? The guy would probably screw up on his own.
[break][break]

Without waiting for Leon’s move, she lets out a series of quick whistles. With a blink, Alastor dashed forward to do what was told. His tail gleamed purple as he tried to read her mind. Carrottop had forgotten to give him a target. So, he did what made sense: attacked the Flygon. It was a dragon-type last he checked. And, sure, it’d get swapped out, but it was obviously the bigger threat. At least to him. He didn't think the stoic penguin needed protecting.
[break][break]

But another sharp whistle made him change course. She did that on purpose! You’re not meant to surprise your own team! At the last minute, the electric pivots to try and hit the Oricorio with a Dragon Tail.

“Good, huh?” The Espathra’s beak tickles the doctor’s palm. Emerald eyes meet its dull ones. There’s emotion in them, but it’s not fear or unwell. She smiles. “One more won’t hurt.” A blue one is quickly dispatched as well. But two is all that appears. Too many sweets could upset the bird’s belly after all.
[break][break]

As Lisette spins her tale, the doctor nods. “Ariados?” With all the war injuries she’d been dealing with, this almost felt like a return to form.

[break][break]

She leans in for a close-up look at the flying-type’s iris. But there’s no discoloration, a telltale sign of certain poisons. Bitten nails pick out a bit of webbing as she gently explores the bird’s feathers. The woman keeps her eyes out for any sign of a bite. Her lips purse into a thin line as she explores the muscular bird’s entire body. In the end, she didn’t spot any signs of poisoning. “It doesn’t look like they bit her.”
[break][break]


Or, if they had, not too severely.
[break][break]


The woman’s description of symptoms seemed a bit strange. But it could be a sign of delusions.
[break][break]


Aubre’s eyes met those of her no-nonsense Blissey. She was best described as an old German nurse. The thing apparently agreed with her assessment. The Ariados had attacked the bird but hadn’t managed to hurt it. There’s a thoughtful pause as Aubre turns to face Lisette. “Did you save her?” The question seemed kind of silly. It wasn’t like the woman had left the psychic type there and gotten followed all the way here. “I’m guessing that’s why she’s here now.” Tiny hands moved to scratch at the area where smooth skin met neck ruff. A favorite spot for the empathetic Pokemon.
[break][break]

“I think she’s trying to thank you.” The doctor turned to look into the thing’s stunning sapphire eyes.

Aubre steps back as the powder takes effect. It’d take the Noivern a moment to reach true unconsciousness. Turning her full attention to Lulu, the doctor flushes. It's a mixture of pride and discomfort. A drawer opens and closes as a suture kit joins the iridescent thread. The bitten-nail fingers are steady as she unzips the pouch.
[break][break]

“I wouldn’t go that far.” To her, there wasn’t anything special about what she did. Plenty of other people did it better. That’s what was important. She certainly wasn’t magic. “It took a lot of training to get here.” Looking back, Aubre still wonders how she survived. School had been cutthroat and wits just as sharp as the scalpels in the next drawer. And you can't even look at a Charmander without getting palpitations. Don't get too full of yourself.
[break][break]


A monitor is hooked up to track the Noivern’s heart rate.
[break][break]


A quick glance at her smartwatch shows the allotted time has passed. “Maggie?” The Jumpluff nods as she drifts away from the dragon. Its breathing is steady, and there’s no outward sign of distress. Vitals look good.


“All right.” Green eyes examine the wings briefly. Teeth worry at her bottom lip as she tries to pick the best place to start—a tall order when the membrane looks moth-eaten. “Let’s get started.”

[break][break]

Starting with the largest tear, the doctor works on pulling the torn flesh back together. For a being with such self-hatred, there’s surprising assurance to each movement. “I’m not going to stitch them all closed.” It was putting the Pokemon through more stress than was necessary. It was also opening the door to infection when it wasn’t necessary. “Just focusing on the larger ones for now.”
[break][break]

The rest would heal on their own.
[break][break]


“If you get squeamish, you can take a step outside.” She didn’t assume the blonde would. Some people actually liked watching this stuff.
[break][break]


Tiny hands shift the wing slightly for a better view. The silver visible between the sides is shrinking by the second. “How’d you meet her?”

The Heliolisk at the front desk loops up. Prim ivory claws tap away at the keyboard. His baby blues peer occasionally at the girl and her technicolor ostrich. Again, he shoots a message over to his trainer in the back. ‘I’m like 95 percent sure there’s nothing wrong with it.’ The bird seemed happy and not in a creepy way.
[break][break]

His chat bubble catches her attention. Shifting her gaze from her Chatot patient to the laptop, she quickly taps out a response. ‘Not all problems are visible, Al.’ The lizard’s shrug emoji ends the conversation. After discussing the bird’s dietary issues, the redhead sends the flying-type on its way. With that done, she gets the room ready for the next Pokemon.
[break][break]


‘Winner picks lunch tomorrow.’ Her Heliolisk is quick to respond. By the time she sees it, the deal will be sealed.

[break][break]

With a click, an assistant pops her head out the door and calls Lisette and the bird back. When they arrive, Aubre is trashing an antibacterial wipe in a steel bin. In place of her typical translator—a hot pink Jumpluff—a Blissey stands with flippers in pouch. As the pair enter, the doctor smiles. Don’t mention the time. It’s not their fault.

[break][break]

A scarred hand emerges from the pocket of her lab coat. She offers up a sweet poffin to the psychic-type bird. As it (hopefully) enjoyed it, the doctor would turn to Maisie. “Well, that depends on what’s hour with it.” There was a small pause as she contemplated her words. “What’s wrong with it.” Skilled eyes swept over the lanky bird’s form for any sign of distress or injury. Though she saw some spider webbing—and a bite or two—it didn’t seem to be affecting the bird at all.

[break][break]

“Can you tell me what brings you in today?” Oddly enough, the doctor's eyes stay on the bird as she speaks. The Blissey begins to circle the Espathra like a shark. Her own checkup is brusque but just as competent.

The redhead’s smile is tight. She can feel her confidence plummeting—the feeling similar to what this Noivern felt as its wings were torn away. But the dullness of those words told her what she needed to know. It was the tone Leon used when humoring their daughter. “I’m glad to hear it.”
[break][break]

Aubre gently cups her hand around the dragon's muzzle. She even scritches at her chin a little. There was not a lot of time to build up trust, but she could try.

[break][break]

She was used to people looking at her like that. They treated her Pokemon’s literacy like it was some kind of party trick—like the mindless mimicry of a Chatot. “No differently from how I would ask you.” Even if they couldn’t understand one another perfectly, there were ways to bridge that gap. “Most of mine can write or sign.” Her eyes linger on the the bat’s tattered wing. “I find they’re more honest though.” Not that they didn’t lie.

[break][break]

I was asking her. Aubre tears her eyes away from the Noivern and meet Lulu’s for a moment. “Is she?” The redhead tries to keep the incredulousness out of her voice. So far, the Noivern had been a doll. Then again, she hadn’t started plunging needles into her yet. And anyone got cranky when you hurt them. After seeing no real protest on the dragon’s face, the doctor taps bitten nails on the table.
[break][break]


“Will you do me a favor and lay back on the table?” There’s a click as she pulls out two expanding panels from underneath it. “Lay your wings on these.” When—or if—that was done, she’d turn to Maggie.
[break][break]


The Jumpluff nods. “You won’t feel a thing, all right?” A burst of blue powder erupted from the Jumpluff’s pom-poms. “It’ll be just like taking a nap.” Just enough to send the Noivern into a light doze.

Their little chat seemed to have the intended affect, even if they weren’t immediately successful. A slight bow of the head brings them down too early. Ironically, it was closer to a Starmie 720 than the trick they’d just tried.
[break][break]
As they coasted back down the other side of the wave, Aubre opened her mouth for more encouragement.
[break][break]
The Mantine shook his head. Just like that, they were cruising back up to the wave’s crest. That frustration was still visible in the thing’s brows. And she knew another crash would hurt. “Let’s try something different!” Her lips perked up in what she hoped was an excited smile. But the look in his eyes told her this ruse was useless. He knew this wasn’t about novelty.
[break][break]

“Just as a warm-up?” With a bubbly sigh, he opted for a Primarina Twist.

It's sad that things turned out the way they did. I hope everyone in Petalburg stays safe. At least this gives both sides a reason to communicate.

She can tell the Mantine’s getting frustrated at this point. When they hit the water this time, the water-type slaps irritably at the water with its worn wings. Aubre can tell it blames the scaring and aerodynamic issues for its struggles.
[break][break]
The redhead—for the first time—truly contemplates the injuries. The scarring is almost as bad as her own. Angry white, puckered lines that gouge deep into the flying-type’s tissues. The tips of its fins are missing chunks. An issue for something that relies on the air and control to maintain its speed. With a sad, forlorn smile, Aubre drapes her legs across either side of the Mantine’s back.
[break][break]

“You know?" Her voice is soft. “--I have scars too.” Dressed like a mix between an Arctic Circle dweller and swimsuit model, most of hers weren’t on display. But her comment did draw attention to the mess that was her left ankle. “But they’re just one very]/i] small part of who I--we are.” Though certainly a bigger part than what this flying type sported. “Was it a Sharpedo?” The thing bobs its head.
[break][break]

“Are you scared?” Again, a nod. For a moment, the pair just drift in the warm water. The redhead takes a deep breath. “Well, I’m sure the rangers are keeping the place safe. Or, at least, patrolling it.” Her eyes flicked down to the aging scars. “And it looks like you've grown since then.” She feels the calming breath beneath bare feet.
[break][break]

“Want to try something easier?” The Mantine makes the opposite gesture from earlier. It decides to try for an Over The Gyarados.

The redhead thinks back to her Hoppip’s founding. “I guess he wasn’t paying much attention.” She thinks back to the people she’d seen at the carnival with their heads in the (figurative) clouds. “I’m just glad they didn’t have cell phones then.” His Walkman was probably way less distracting. “Arceus knows she’d be in worse shape.”
[break][break]

At his unscientific move, the doctor blinks. “The wind?” She turns in the direction she points to feel the air on her face. Somehow, she’d gotten turned around. Where and how wan’t important, just that she was no longer following the path she needed to. “Arceus! I must have gotten turned around.”
[break][break]

Wow, Aubre. You really are an idiot. Just racing around like a two-headed Dodrio. Instead of replying, the actor bobs her head in agreement. Ignoring the pull in her lower back, the redhead raced to catch up with the dark-haired man.
[break][break]


As they end up in a vendor lane her eyes scour the air for a burst of pink. There she—no, that’s an Aromatisse plush. Where are you, Maggie? Her eyes swept over the right balloon vendor as a brightly colored tent caught her attention. Too busy trying to grip rope with dandelion puffs, the Jumpluff doesn’t notice her bestie.
[break][break]


She just waves on the balloon’s string like a flag on a rope.
