Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon: Here Comes The Hydroflames

First Day On The Job

"And that concludes today's morning roll call," Ampharos said, standing in from of all the Expedition Society members. "give it your all out there team!"

"Yes sir!" Everyone yelled in unison, as everyone split from the group, some leaving the headquarters, while some remained. Ian and Patience awkwardly remained standing, unsure as to what to do next.

"Ah, you two." Ampharos called out. "I would ask you to come to my office so Dedenne could explain a few things to you, but you should head over to Glaceon for a medical test."

"A test?! I didn't know there's going to be a test!" Ian exclaimed. "I didn't study medicine!"

"Relax Ian, it's just a few questions on your health," Ampharos reassured. "it's standard procedure.

The mudfish Pokemon breathed a sigh of relief, he was never a fan of unexpected tests, even back in Serene Village's school.

"Now run along now," Ampharos said. "time waits for no Pokemon." The lighthouse Pokemon went up the stairs, as Ian and Patience decided to turn to their left and headed down the end of the corridor towards the infirmary. The door was open, inside was Glaceon writing something down on a notepad. The infirmary was smaller than expected, a window of the view of Lively Town, counters connected together packed with all sorts of bottles in a variety of colours and two beds and the end of the room.

"Ah, Ian and Patience!" She greeted, ushering the two Pokemon to come in. "I'm sure Ampharos has informed you of the medical test?"

"Yeah, but I have to ask," Ian said. "what's the purpose of this test?"

"I was about to explain to why." Glaceon replied. "About six months ago, one of our Society members whom I shall not name came back from an expedition carrying a disease and let's just say it spread to the rest of us."

"Oh dear..." Patience said.

"Long story short I cured everyone and now this test and a monthly health checkup of all the members are mandatory. Now let's begin this test."

She placed the notebook by the counter and grabbed a clipboard next to it.

"I'm going to ask a couple of questions, and you two are going to answer honestly, do you understand?"

Ian and Patience nodded in acknowledgement.

"Alright then, question one: When was the last time you have fallen sick?"

"Not in recent memory." Ian replied, which was technically true, considering he's only been in this world for almost a month.

"Does getting a cold for playing on the rain for too long count?" Patience said.

"I suppose..." The fresh snow Pokemon said, as she started writing down on the clipboard. "Second question: Have you been critically injured before?"

Ian looked over at Patience, deciding that it was better for him to explain.

"Well, Patience has." The mudfish Pokemon said. "She got badly hurt once and I had to patch her up."

"My wounds feel sore every now and then, but other than that I feel fine now." Patience added.

"You know basic first aid knowledge? That's impressive for a child like you." Glaceon complimented. "Alright, question number three: What is the worst case of a status condition you have received?"

"Yeah, it was just yesterday when we were going through Gentle Slope Cave when I saw this... purple thing lying on the ground, thinking it was some kind of odd berry I decided to eat it in one bite, and suddenly I was on fire, guess that wasn't the best idea." Ian said.
