So the past few weeks at the I guess Pokémon center were rather unpleasant. Not that it was the worst thing I have ever experienced, just that I would never want to do it again(And if that means not getting shot again, I will take it). The nurses and doctors were all nice they kept me fed and all that, but it was just very indecent, they were there almost all the time, they even had to bathe me. Granted the only reason they did was to keep this plastic thing over the wound so water wouldn't get in it and in that case I thank them for it.

Another thing is that they expected me to go to the restroom outside, they had this sanctuary like thing with a very thin net above the area, guess it was to keep flying types in, wouldn't want them getting out if they were still wounded. That was actually my first time walking and surprisingly it wasn't that hard to do, it was very similar to walking like originally used to, the only difference is I use my tail as a counter balance to keep myself from falling forward, it was very natural. But the downside was that they expected me to go out here, so what I did was just go off through a couple of bushes and wait of few minutes, and that seemed to get Delila out of my hair, oh yeah and Delila was the nurse that was assigned to me, so she was always around, not that I didn't enjoy the company but I still like personal space. So after she thought I went she would take me back to my room, luckily for me they had a bathroom for any People they were treating or any trainers staying with their Pokémon, and luckily for me it wasn't that hard to still use the bathroom, just a bit of climbing I had to get through, even climbed the sink to wash my hands. I'm a clean freak so yeah. After my little routine happened over a couple of days of the first week Delila was able to find out after she walked in to do a double check on me and saw me walk out of the bathroom with the toilet still running. Unsurprisingly she was shocked that this young Riolu could do all that but thankfully she just called me a "Really fast learner" and told me she wouldn't let anyone know about this.

After that first week they finally let me out to that sanctuary to get some exercise for an hour a day. I was able to finally see what this body could do, but fighting was strictly off limits for all Pokémon out in the sanctuary. So I did the next best thing, I practiced running and HOLY CRAP! Was I fast. Allot faster than I was back then, I could run around the whole sanctuary(Which in turn isn't that large just that I'm small) in just about 15-20 seconds. I must have been going 25 or 30 Miles per hour there. Couldn't tell exact but I was fast, and I used the time to get even faster. I also practiced jumping couldn't jump all that high at first, but don't give up is what I've always been told and with that practice I was able to jump SIX FEET into the air. Granted that is not really high but to me being only 2'4", I'd say that is pretty good. I kept getting better at jumping and also timing I my jumps and measuring them out too by climbing tress. I actually enjoyed climbing trees back then so it was no different here. Delila got scared at one point but I knew I was fine, when she got like that I would safely climb down just for her sake.

After that I was in the midst of my third week here and all the time before this I avoided other Pokémon. I'm relatively shy but this was completely different. It was a different "SPECIES", I had no idea what to say or even what to do. Another reason I had avoided was because of the giant bandage that was on me, but at the beginning of this week they finally took both the bandages and removed the stiches. I had a pretty nasty scar there but my fur was able to cover it up thankfully. So now all that was said and one I was trying to mingle, and I found a couple of good friends. A Pidgey, which is small bird like Pokémon with brown and tan feathers that looks a bit like a bird of prey, by the name of well, Pidgey I had met who had sprained his wing, we talked about how each of us got there and what happened. He was flying in a canyon with his trainer when some rocks fell, they weren't huge rocks to his trainer, but himself on the other hand is another story, one of them fell on his wing and broke it, so he had been here having it healed and was getting some time outside. I told him my story and he seemed shocked, he said that anyone my age, heck even an adult would have died from something like that. I showed him the scar and got a real good look at it myself and realized something crucial. The bullet that hit me was very high caliber, seeing how big the scar was I could only guess I was shot by some king of magnum round. Pidgey was surprised too, he told me how he had been to gun shows with his trainer and that full grown Pokémon have taken those type of bullets and not survived. That confirmed it for me, me taking over this body must have kept the body from dying. I sure was lucky, but not the previous owner.
