Nurse Joy: Would you like to rest your POKÉMON?

XXX

Brendan walked inside the Pokémon Center. His hurt Poochyena was inside in his PokéBall waiting treatment.

"Hello BRENDAN. Give me your PokéBalls and I'll restore all your Pokémon to full health." Nurse Joy said, extending her arms.

"But it's Poochyena who's hurt. Not my whole team, Zigzagoon and Treecko are fine." Brendan said in a puzzled tone.

"The rules state that all Pokémon must be given. Not one." Nurse Joy answered.

Brendan gave her Poochyena's PokéBall. "He's the only hurt Pokémon."

Nurse Joy didn't answer. "I will not heal it, until you give me the rest of your PokéBalls."

"Poochyena is hurt. The rest have not battled." Brendan said stubbornly.

"What seems to be the problem?" A voice asked.

Brendan turned around to face Steven Stone.

"Poochyena my only hurt Pokémon, but Nurse Joy insists on healing all Pokémon. Isn't that a waste of time?" Brendan explained.

"It is.. Nurse Joy, will you please, from now on heal only the hurt Pokémon?"
