When Naoki arrived at the pokemoer, Nurse Joy was on the phoh her sister, who was far away in Artazon.

  Seeing a Traier, Joy immediately put down the phone and got back to work, her voice gentle: "Hello, how I help you?"

  Naoki expined his purpose. "Hello, Nurse Joy. I'm a rancher from a nearby ranch. Retly, the Pokémon I'm raising have gotten a bit too plump. I'm worried it might affect their health, so I wao sult you about it."

  "Plump." Joy thought for a moment, then asked, "What kind of Pokémohey?"

  "Skiddo."

  "I 't give a diagnosis without examining them. I'll o do a physical checkup to provide a proper answer," Nurse Joy said.

  "I see." Naoki realized he should have brought one of the Skiddo for a checkup.

  Assuming he had many Pokémon on his ranurse Joy figured he hadn't brought one because it was inveo transport them all.

  She thought for a moment, then smiled and offered, "If it's difficult for you t them to the Pokémoer, I also e to the ranch to examihem."

  The Pokémoer was currently quiet, so she had the time to make a visit.

  Naoki was surprised. "Is that alright?" Wasn't Nurse Joy supposed to stay at the Pokémoer?

  Joy nodded and expined, "Of course. Pokémon from other ranches have gotten sick before, and not everyone is a Trainer! It's not easy to transport Pokémon without Poké Balls, especially rge ones, so I'll go to the ranch to help treat them when I have time."

  Naoki uood. It was a good opportunity to avoid arip, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll be grateful for your help."

  "It's my job. Please wait a moment!" Joy smiled and turo prepare the examination tools with Jigglypuff by her side.

  After everything was ready, Nurse Joy emerged from behind the front desk, carrying a medical kit. "Okay, let's go!"

  Naoki nodded ahe way on Cyclizar. Nurse Joy also rode a Cyclizar.

  They soon arrived at the ranch. As Nurse Joy walked along the cobblestoh, she spotted Dragonite practig Rain Dance beside the farmnd, Alcremie frolig on the grass, and Koraidon waiting at the door. A surprised expression crossed her face.

  "It's so lively here! Are these all your Pokémon?"

  "Yes," Naoki smiled. "I ied this ranot long ago. Some of these Pokémon were given to me, some I caught in the wild, and some I bought from a ran the town."

  "Even that one?" Nurse Joy's gaze fell on Koraidon. In all her time w at the Pokémoer, she had never seen a Trainer with this Pokémon.

  Following her gaze, Naoki looked at Koraidon, alking towards him. At that moment, it resembled a rge dog wagging its tail to greet its owner.

  Naoki reached out and patted its head, saying vaguely, "To be ho, I'm not sure where it came from. I met it on the ranch. Maybe it wandered here from somewhere far away?"

  "I see," Nurse Joy nodded, not pressing the matter further.

  Under Naoki's guidance, she saw the three plump Skiddo lying on the grass.

  "Those are the three, right?"

  Naoki nodded and waved to the Skiddo, who stood up and trotted over.

  "This is Nurse Joy. She's going to give you a checkup. Be good, okay?" Naoki told them.

  "Maa~"

  The three Skiddo's looked at Nurse Joy curiously with their big, round eyes.

  Nurse Joy chuckled. "They're so Cute!"

  She squatted down, opened her medical kit, and took out various examination tools.

  "Alright, alright, this will be quick!" Joy first calmed the Skiddo, then began the formal examination.

  "Hmm, heartbeat is normal, breathing rate is normal, fur is smooth. Huh? What's this?"

  Nurse Joy looked at the energy dete devi front of her in surprise. "The Grass-type energy in this Skiddo has reached an incredibly high level!"

  Naoki's heart tightened. "Is this harmful to their bodies?"

  "Absolutely," Nurse Joy nodded seriously. "Generally speaking, the energy within a Pokémon's body should be banced with its physical endurance."

  "But if the energy exceeds the Pokémon's capacity, it will cause a series of problems, like high fever, loss of appetite, colds, and even more severe issues that weaken the Pokémon's body."

  Hearing this, Naoki looked at the three cute Skiddo's.

  At least judging from their current appearahey didn't seem weak at all. As for a loss of appetite, that was even less likely. They didn't have a fever or a cold either.

  Nurse Joy tinued her examination, expining as she worked, "So some trainers will have their Pokémon release excess energy through battling, ensuring a baween their bodies and energy levels."

  "If the energy isn't discharged in time, it cause signifit damage to the Pokémon's body. How long has this dition persisted?"

  Naoki carefully recalled when the Skiddo first ate the Green Grass Dumplings. "Almost a month!"

  Nurse Joy was taken aback. How was that possible? This wasn't normal!

  "How do they release energy, then?" she asked.

  As soon as she finished speaking, the three Skiddo's in front of her suddenly sprang into a. With the checkup over, they nimbly ran to an open space.

  'It was time to party'!

  A green light spread out from them, transf the ground into a vast expanse of gently swaying grass.

  On this Grassy Terrain, the Skiddo's began their daily dance.

  Green Vine Whips swung bad forth, sharp Razor Leaves flew everywhere, and thick beams of Sor Beam shot into the sky. The three Skiddo's ran around on the grass, Leaf Bdes ched betweeeeth.

  Nurse Joy: "?"

  What was going on here?

  How was the ce of the Grassy Terrain se?

  Was that a Grass-type move called Leaf Bde? But why were they holding it in their mouths?!

  Her eyes widened in shock, and she was momentarily speechless.

  Naoki's slightly exasperated voice came from beside her, "Well, this is what they do."

  The Skiddo's were itg for a fight.
