Chapter 87: Pokémon Medical Care
Of course, in the Pokémon world, there are not only medical staff who treat Pokémon, but also medical staff who treat ordinary people . However, Xiaoguang is special. She wants to take the exam for a medical position in the Pokémon Center, which is a very difficult job.
After all, the treatment work in the Pokémon Center has basically been monopolized by the Joy Family. In each alliance in each region, the Joy Family and the Junsa Family have taken root there. It is still very difficult for someone who is not a Joy Family to join the Pokémon Center.
The Joey family not only has strict requirements for their own members, but also has almost harsh requirements for other people who want to become Pokémon medical staff. Others have complained that if medical students live in the hell of college entrance examinations every day, then Pokémon medical students are already living in hell.
Therefore, there is a saying that has been circulating in the Pokémon world: "If you persuade someone to study medicine, God will strike you with lightning; if you persuade someone to study medicine, you will be cut into pieces." This shows how difficult it is for people who are not from the Joy family to become a Pokémon medic.
Heath remembered that the little Hikari in front of him was already in her fifth year of study, but she still hadn't succeeded in joining the Pokémon Center and wearing the uniform she had always dreamed of.
"This is... my own summary, but there's no harm in drinking some tea, right?" Heath scratched his head. It is an extremely difficult task to popularize traditional Chinese medicine in the Pokémon world, and this world does not have the Chinese medicinal materials that were often seen before.
Otherwise, Heath thought that it would be a good idea for him to become a Chinese medicine practitioner, or to cooperate with the Joey family in development and research. If he succeeded, wouldn't he be able to achieve financial freedom directly? He could also go down in history.
However, Heath was just thinking about it. After all, he had never read those rare books of traditional Chinese medicine and basic books such as Compendium of Materia Medica. The only reason he remembered that coix seed tea could remove dampness was because he had drunk it before.
"Hmm... that does seem to make sense. Then give me a cup of barley tea and a pancake without eggs. Please give me sausages." Xiaoguang nodded as if he suddenly understood, which made Heath want to laugh.
"Xiao Guang, by the way, this is your nth year taking the medical qualification exam?" Heath said to Xiao Guang while making pancakes.
"It's the sixth year now, and the teachers who are taking the medical certification exam all know me. It's so hard for me." Xiaoguang sighed, holding his book with a bitter face.
"Didn't you pass the exam last year? What question did you get wrong?" Heath cut the sausage into small cubes and put it into the pancakes, and poured ketchup on it. Xiaoguang liked ketchup very much.
Xiaoguang reached out to take her backpack, but when she touched it, she hesitated for a moment and didn't take it.
"I wanted to show you my notes, but now I'm going back to Nantian, so I won't take them. Anyway, it's a short-answer question. It's about a Snorlax lying on the beach, and then being bitten by Arbok, then bitten by Golbat, and sprayed with poison powder by Bulbasaur, and poked by Beedrill several times. At the same time, there were Nidoqueen and Nidoking under its butt..." Looking at the endless Xiaoguang, Heath felt a little numb.
What kind of virtue did Snorlax have to deserve such a big gift package? Why didn't the person who asked the question say that all the poisonous Pokémon in Kanto had their attacks on Snorlax?
When Heath heard that the last question was about how to treat this mixed poison damage, he felt that the person who asked the question must have something wrong with his brain. Not to mention how a Snorlax could survive so many attacks, it was not easy to gather so many poison-attribute Pokémon on a beach.
Heath put the pancakes in a bag and handed it to Xiaoguang along with a cup of barley tea.
"...Come on!" Heath looked at the miserable Xiaoguang, and all the words in his heart could finally be condensed into this one sentence. Pokémon medical care is really not something that everyone can do. Thinking about it this way, it's really not easy for Miss Qiao Yixue.
The Joy family is very strict in assessing its own members. Every Miss Joy who can pass the assessment is trustworthy. It is no wonder that the alliance has no objection to the Joy family's control of medical resources.
The Joey and Junsha families are permanent, but alliances come and go. This is the status quo of every alliance. No matter what region the alliance is in, the Joey family and the Junsha family will always be the cornerstones of these places.
[You entertained Xiaoguang, and you obtained "Basic Pokémon Pharmacology"]
Heath looked at the book in the cabinet that was so thick that it could kill someone, and closed the cabinet door with a heavy face. He felt that he would never be able to open this book in his life, and then tried to torture himself.
"...I'm so stupid. Why did I read this kind of book?" Looking at the thick and numbing book of Basic Pharmacology of Pokémon in his hand, Heath regretted it.
The return of the south wind and the lingering thick fog made Heath's business very bleak today. So out of boredom, Heath couldn't control his hands and opened the cabinet to take out the book.
Then after reading for a while, Heath regretted it. It was filled with all kinds of medical terms and words. Heath knew all these words, but when they were put together, Heath had no idea what they meant.
Heath decisively locked the book back into the cabinet. He swore that he would rather teach Farfetch'd to cook a few more dishes than to try to read the book again. This book was only suitable for the doctor.
[You have triggered a special task, giving away thirty cups of coix seed tea for free to people in need, and you can get a random puzzle reward]
Heath was stunned for a moment. The person was really sitting in the car, and the task came from the sky. How could the task be triggered while sitting still?
Although Heath was a little reluctant to give it away for free, considering the reward for the task, Heath decided to go for it. Although the rewards given by the cheat code were sometimes a little strange, most of the time the cheat code was still very reliable.
Thirty cups of Job's tears tea. This was not difficult to do, after all, it was free. Heath grabbed Jun Shaguang, who was patrolling on a motorcycle on the road, and gave away all thirty cups of Job's tears tea.
【You got a random puzzle】
A puzzle piece also appeared in Heath's trouser pocket. Heath took out a puzzle piece from it. It was white, and there was nothing else on it.
"Although this task is quite simple, what's the use of this reward?" Heath looked at the white puzzle in his hand blankly. Could it be that this was going to make a picture of Gardevoir wearing a wedding dress for him?
Unable to figure it out, Heath could only put it away for the time being. He wondered if it might be useful when he had more puzzles in the future.
