Chapter 5 (Pt. 2)

May paced back and forth in the waiting area. She was worried about the Kyogre, even though she hadn't known it, let alone known about  it until 2 or 3 hours ago. But a pokemon in need was her achilles heel. Actually any living thing that needed help was May's kryptonite. She almost ran, or 'paced' into the nurse that was in the passengers seat. Now that May wasn't running to catch up with her, she could see that the woman had bright pink hair that was styled into 2 loops hanging down like pigtails from the back of her head, and she had bangs that looked like swirls above her eyes. Her skin was pale and looked smooth. She had blue eyes and wore a baby pink nurses uniform with a white apron and hat. Her name tag read "Joy".

 "Oh, so your name is Joy?" 

"Well, that is my last name. You can call me Nurse Joy."

"Ok Nurse Joy! How is the Kyogre?"

Nurse Joy's face fell a little, but her nurse smile  cam back within a millisecond. "The Kyogre is going to be Ok," May heaved a sigh of relief. "But... He will probably never be able to go back to the wild. We need to find someone who can take care of him after he is healed." May exclaimed"Ooh! I could take him! Uh, I mean, I could take him in when he's ready." Joy wore a face of concentration for a few moments, before she gave in and nodded as a sign of consent.

May jumped with joy (the emotion, not the Nurse!). She was so happy. She would have her very own Kyogre. 

"Will the Kyogre be able to battle after it is finished with surgery?" May asked. 

Nurse Joy hung her head solemnly and replied, "I am afraid it will only be able to do one or two moves in a fight if he can fight at all. Also he CANNOT faint, or else we might have to go over all this surgery again, and it would be a much bigger deal than just bringing the pokeballs here to recharge in the machine at the front desk."

 May nodded. "I understand. I can hang out with the Kyogre and maybe ask for directions or instructions, right?" '

Nurse Joy bobbed her head up and down. "You will be able to just hang out with the Kyogre. But one more thing, you can't keep it in the box for too long, or else, since it has gone through this surgery and experience, we don't know the effects of being in the box for too long."

May asked "Will he be able to do moves to let me ride on his back across water right?" 

Nurse Joy responded, "Yes. In fact if you just wanted to fill up the Kyogre's moves with TM's and HM's, by all means go ahead as you collect them on your journey. Do you have any TM's or HM's yet?" 

"No not yet, but I do intend to collect a lot as I go on my pokemon journey." May said.

"Well then, I think I might have some in one of the back storage rooms. If you want I could give you one or two to start you off and help you on your journey?"

"Awesome! Can I go to the back with you to see the TM's and HM's that you have?" May asked.

"Of course. Right this way."

They followed a few twists and turns. Right. Left. Right. Right. Straight.  May was surprised that the pokemon center was so big. They looked so small from the outside and from when you first walk in. They finally got to a room filled with boxes. Some of them were labeled TM's and HM's. Nurse Joy grabbed the boxes labeled like this off of the shelves. May scavenged through the boxes, trying not to mess anything up. She found things like rock smash and cut. Those might come in handy, but they aren't what I want at the moment...Maybe just a little more hunting... May licked her lips as she scavenged and contemplated. Until she finally found what she was looking for. 

"Ahh. Swim. I figured you might want that seeing as it is a Kyogre and that was what you were talking about earlier when the topic of TM's and HM's were brought up."  Nurse Joy said with a warm smile on her face. "Very well. You can have swim. Are there any others you need?" 

"Um... Maybe rock smash or cut?"

 "Well we have lots of each of those, so you can have swim, rock smash and cut. Oh, and the Kyogre!"

"Thank you very much!" May grabbed the HM's and followed Nurse Joy back to the waiting room. Almost seconds after they arrived in the waiting room, someone tapped on May's shoulder, and when she looked up, they were holding an ultra-ball that May assumed held the Kyogre. When she looked inside, she realized that she was right.
