PART EIGHTY SIX

T he reunion with Ahsoka and Jack had been brief settling on a quick embrace before rushing off to the nearest pokémon centre to the gym, it was in the northern section of the city. It was not to dissimilar to the one he had stayed at previously however it differed in as much as it had twice the number of levels to accommodate any over flow of trainers when the other facilities where full.

Ahsoka grudgingly had to give the medical staff the credit they were due, the moment her cherished lover had explained what had happened to his pokémon they had swiftly escalated Oni as a priority case. While Bunny still unconscious had been left in the more than capable hands of one of the audino nurse to be checked over before joining Blaze in a quick ride in one of the pokémon centres healing machines. After this both the lopunny and the bronzed giantess of a woman had headed off to find the vending machines with the plan to raid them for snacks; not that the blaziken minded being left out of this, it allowed her to attended to her human. Blaze could tell he was trying to put on a calm act but even her sense of smell was not as great as her team mates she could see right through it. She allowed him to preen her feathers for her, grooming her as he applied avian pokéoil, her feathers would fluff up as she displayed her delight at the special attention. For Jack though he was just glad for the distraction as he waited for news on Oni, he could feel his stomach twisting itself up into knots with worry. The only one who seemed to be able to fully relax had been Toph who was still slept soundly inside of her pokéball completely unperturbed. After a good three quarters of an hour Bunny walked rather than hopped back into view with Ahsoka alongside her, their hands were full of sugary treats and drinks brought with coin form the amazonian woman’s own purse. Ahsoka gave a tender smile in an attempt to reassure him as she bent down in front of him as she leans in brushing his lips with her own, he felt his little rabbit friend ease herself down onto the cushioned bench next to him sandwiching him between Blaze and her. Wrapping herself around his arm Bunny nestled the side of her head against his shoulder holding his arm firmly into the fur on her chest as she pressed up closer to him.

“Any News?”

Ahsoka asked in a hushed voice as she leant up against the nearby wall, Jack replied to the question with a slow shake of her head as Blaze’s fists clenched tightly as she cursed under her breath for being so completely helpless to do anything. For all of the her fighting strength; all her fiery might she could do nothing more than just wait, it left her highly frustrated with nowhere to channel it. In moments despite his very best efforts to stay awake; Jack felt his eye lids began growing heavy, soon his minded had surrendered to sleep no one tried to awaken him instead they let him sleep as time continued to roll by at an agonisingly slow pace.

Inside the operating theatre a surgeon crouched over the freshly shaven; anesthetised pokémon, he was dressed in scrubs with a mask covering his face and surgical cap upon his head. He worked diligently pausing every so often to allow one the nurses to mop the sweat from his brow. On the other side of the table an anaesthetist stood monitoring the oxygen level entering the weavile, occasionally infusing anaesthetic gas into the mixture whenever Oni showed signs of prematurely coming out of her induced state of unconsciousness, as last thing anyone wanted was her going on a panic educed rampage.

The nurse held up a tray to the surgeon as he placed a blooded scalpel upon it while another nurse used a suction pump to clear away the pooling blood in the pokémon open wound exposing a seed the size of a broad bean in the process. Allowing his brow to be dabbed again the man took hold of a long flexible tube depressing a stud, a beam of red light was emitted engulfing the revealed sections seed causing it to shrivel under the crimson light. It did not take long before he could see the web of arteries bulging through the skin start to recede as the roots that had been greedily feeding upon the nutrients in her blood withered away. Several more second would pass until the arteries where no longer visible.

“The roots have dissolved enough for me to extract the seed, the weavile's immune system will take care of any remaining root residue”

The surgeon mused accepting a pair of elongated tweezer scissors from a tray the nurse to his left held up for him, carefully he drew the seed free along with the stubby remains of its roots. Looking up at x-ray on the wall he could see the rest of the embedded seeds, he was going to be there for quite some time.

“Ideally, I would prefer to perform these extractions, over several operations, to save on causing the patient’s body to much stress. However, in this occasion leaving even just one; of these damned things would be extremely detrimental.”

He sighed with a slight smirk while a nurse dabbed the sweat from his brow, it would take several more hours to fully extract each of the seeds in turn, opening her flesh with an incision using the device to neutralise the leech seed inorder to safely extracting them one by one only then with all the foreign bodies removed did the surgeon feel confident enough to return the unconscious pokémon back to her pokéball. In her digitised state, her wounds would be little more than damaged computer code, something that could easily be repaired as one might the damaged software on a computer. Sometime later in the hallway outside of the operating theatre Jack had awakened to the sound of Doctor Joy giving a discrete cough, focusing his eyes he was greeted with a gentle reassuring smile plying across her lips. It took a while longer to notice that she was holding Oni’s heal ball in her hands as she walked up to him. Her honeyed words like every other Joy was soothing to ears.

“Your weavile is going to be just fine, the surgeon did a wonderful job. though your weavile will require plenty of rest in order to fully recover from her surgery, I have prescribed a course of supplements to replace the nutrients drained from her body.”

With this said a notification on his phone chimed at him to show he had just received the prescription via the pokédex app, his eyes welled up as he accepted the pokéball; tear began to flow in relief.

“Thank You!....thank you so much thank you!”

He wept as Blaze took the ball from his now trembling hands, Joy’s soft smile just grew as she watched the woman next to him ease him back down int the chair.

“I will pass on your thanks to the surgical team, I do recommend you stay here for the night, that way if there are any complications, you won’t have far to go to seek help.

Don’t worry about space, as we try to keep a number of rooms vacant; for just such an occasion as this, but the choice is yours.”

The doctor added with a calm silky tone to her voice, she watched as the lopunny and Blaziken began talking as if discussing this with their trainer like he could understand what they were saying.

“Lop..Punny…Pun”

[she has a good point]

Bunny mused easing a paw along Jacks right shoulder, Blaze mirrored this with one of her claw like hands moving across the other shoulder.

“Blaziken…Blaze…Ken…Blazi…Ken”

[I Have to admit it, but……I agree]

Ahsoka quickly piped up now not wishing to be kept out of what ever advice was being given to her boyfriend, she felt a slight twinge of envy at not being part of the conversations they would have.

“Look dear”

She started lifting his chin tenderly with back of her thumb.

“I’ll look after these two and Toph back at my suite while you focus on her”

She had referred to Oni as her since she couldn’t save for the espeon; remember the names of his pokémon, hoping no one had cottoned on to this she continued speaking.

“We can discuss her recovery and moor bridge tomorrow”

Her steely eyes bored into his, she was trying to soften her gaze eventually she opted to lean her mouth in to his to let her lips do the talking instead. It worked; she could feel him loosening up, she only stopped when she remembered where they were. Doctor Joy was blushing brightly with her eyes trying to look away.

“s..so…*cough*…um..uh....s.so I take it you will uh…be staying here tonight?”

Joy blurted as she began squirm embarrassedly.

“Yes, he will”

Ahsoka chuckled as she answered for him.
