Chapter 207: New Target, Heading to Sinnoh (1)
"Jirachi..."
Du Ming kept repeating the name.
"Jirachi's initial treatment will take about two days. Shall we go out and rest for a while?"
After a while, when everything was back to normal, Joey spoke.
"I…"
No need... Du Ming almost said these two words, but when he looked at Joey's slightly tired appearance, he smiled and nodded:
"I just wanted to drink some water. It would be nice to go out for a while."
When the two came out of the treatment room, Du Ming happened to see another person.
"Ye Zi, why are you here?"
Du Ming exclaimed in surprise.
As soon as I walked back to the lobby of the Pokémon Center, I saw Ye Zi walking in from the door of the Pokémon Center, panting, with Solevil following her.
Seeing people, Miss Joy immediately cheered up, smiled faintly, took a step forward, and said:
"This trainer..."
"No, I'm fine!" Ye Zi was not shy at all when facing Miss Joy. She waved her hands happily and said, "I came here with Du Ming."
"I see... please do as you please." Joey said with a smile, and finally sat back in his seat to rest.
Ye Zi walked to Du Ming, pulled Du Ming aside, and sat down together.
"Du Ming looks so anxious and worried. What's wrong?" She touched Du Ming's forehead.
Du Ming told Ye Zi again that the person inside the crystal was Jirachi.
"I'm wondering whether I should take care of Jirachi..." Du Ming said.
"…Does Du Ming have other things to do before leaving?" Ye Zi asked.
“…How did you come up with this idea?” Du Ming was stunned.
"A normal trainer or someone who loves Pokémon will want to take care of Jirachi without hesitation. And Du Ming once asked me if I wanted to leave with you... Although I refused... But it was Du Ming's fault for asking me if I would leave Sol Eevee and the others."
Leaf muttered softly.
Du Ming smiled faintly and rubbed Ye Zi's head vigorously.
"Don't think too much. I have already made my decision about you. I will take you and the six elves away. Now I am just hesitating whether to take Jirachi with me."
"Oh..." Ye Zi moved closer to Du Ming, and after a moment she groaned softly, "Hmm."
… …
Fortunately, Yu Duming arrived in time and Jirachi was not in danger of life.
However, due to being newly born, Jirachi's resistance to all types of damage, especially the extremely effective fire damage, is very low.
Based on Miss Joy's further diagnosis, she believed that it would take more than just a long time for Jirachi to fully recover.
Two days later, late.
Du Ming, Ye Zi, Daigo, Tiexuan and the rare Junsha gathered in the Pokémon Center.
"Should I say the recovery is going well... or not..." Tiexuan scratched his head, frowning, his usual smile gone.
He was talking about Jirachi who had been able to leave the full recovery potion.
After two days of soaking in the recovery solution, Jirachi looked as if nothing had happened to him. Even the burn wounds were gone.
This is enough to show how advanced the restoration technology is in the elf world.
But, just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean everything is alright.
"From my perspective, the treatment has only just begun." Joey also frowned, shook his head and sighed:
"But for the following treatment, neither my own abilities nor the equipment here can provide further treatment... I'm sorry, Jirachi... and Du Ming."
Joey lowered his head in shame.
"Jiju?" Jirachi tilted his head in a silly and cute way.
It was very quiet and floated up obediently, sitting on Du Ming's head, looking at the people around it, motionless.
"No, Jirachi and I are very grateful to you." Du Ming smiled, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Next, we need to treat the other two 'wounds'."
Jirachi's injuries were indeed healed, but two serious problems remained.
One is the spiritual aspect.
Jirachi already had a low resistance to fire energy, and was hit in the face by a fire orb immediately after he was born. Now Jirachi's fear of fire seems to have penetrated into his bones, exceeding the normal level of fear.
Whenever there are hot objects, energies or even pictures, Jirachi will show fear.
"This problem can only be solved by you, Du Ming." Daigo suggested:
"When a spirit is wounded, what it needs most is a trainer or breeder to accompany it tirelessly and wipe away the fear in its heart until Jirachi returns to normal. Du Ming, you must be prepared for the long haul!"
"I know." Du Ming nodded.
Mental trauma is not easy to heal, and this happened when Jirachi was just born. If he is not comforted continuously, the trauma will probably last a lifetime.
As for Jirachi's lifespan, its lifetime... is basically no different from forever.
But there is still one good thing.
Psychological trauma is also a common problem in the elven world. Although it takes a lot of time, at least we know how to heal it.
If the first question was based on past experience, then Jirachi's second question was something that no one here had ever encountered before.
After picking up Jirachi, Du Ming looked at its belly.
Normally, Jirachi has an eye-like organ in his abdomen, which opens when he wants to fulfill a wish.
This eye is the core of Jirachi's power and is necessary for its most powerful move, "Shattered Wish".
It's even the reason why it is able to possess telepathy.
But this eye is in bad shape now.
“Can the eye in the abdomen heal itself?” Ye Zi looked at Jirachi worriedly.
"I'm afraid it's difficult." Du Ming touched Jirachi, and Jirachi swayed and floated in front of him, smiling innocently.
"It's difficult." Joey smiled sadly.
Tiexuan touched his chin and thought: "I heard that the eye on Jirachi's abdomen usually doesn't open. It will only open when needed. Are you sure there is something wrong with this eye? Is there a possibility... that it can't open for the time being?"
Joey shook his head and sighed:
"Its eye was injured due to a burning injury. After two days of treatment, I scanned Jirachi's entire body inside and out no less than ten times, and I am sure that its injuries have healed.
"But the nutrients and energy in Jirachi's body cannot be transferred to the organs in the abdomen. It's fine if the whole body is immersed in the nutrient solution, but if it leaves the nutrient solution and continues to lack nutrition and energy input, the organ may become necrotic.
"I estimate that this time... is about two months."
Joey became serious and said, "So my suggestion is to find a Pokémon neurologist or a doctor who specializes in Legendary Pokémon. This may be able to cure the problem of nutrient transmission failure."
"Neurology, legendary doctor..." Daigo was stunned, thinking.
He paced back and forth, then raised his head and said, "Du Ming, in this case, I suggest you take Jirachi to the City of Jubilee in the Sinnoh region. Jubilee City has the world's top Pokémon neurologists.
"Not only that, the champion Zhulan who is very knowledgeable about the legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh is also in Zhuqing City recently. I will communicate with her later. I believe she will be happy to give you a lot of help."
"Sinnoh..."
Du Ming frowned.
