Request from thor94: do one with happiny (doctor ash)

#440: Happiny. It carries a white rock in it's belly pouch to imitate Chansey, often giving it to others it likes. It may walk around people's feet and make them stumble.

Ash's mother said that her mother was a nurse at a pokemon center. She was a beloved nurse, loved by all, especially by her husband Koga the ninja warrior. Ash, although he didn't care for the romantic part of the story, was happy that his grandmother found love doing what she did.

At age six, he told his family; uncle Surge, cousin's Lance and Liza, grandpa Koga, and his mother, that he wanted to go into medicine. They were proud of him. He studied how to treat injured pokemon under the professor for the next four years. Then, one day, something amazing happened.

Ash was walking around the compound, hearing crying. He wore a black raincoat, and was looking for the source. He saw a small pink thing by the river. He moved to the river to see it was a pokemon the resembled a Chansey, but it was smaller and cuter. It had a pink body with a curl on the top of it's head, and its legs and feet were red. Speaking of it's feet, they were wrapped in sticker vines, and bleeding, and it hurt the poor creature.

The little creature looked at him, pausing in it's crying. Ash took that as his cue to try to gain its trust to help it get out of there.

"It's okay," Ash hesitantly reached a hand out to it, "I'm not gonna hurt you." The pokemon grabbed his fingers and pulled them to its mouth, beginning to suck on them. As soon as it stopped, Ash took his fingers out of its mouth, and uncurling the vines from its legs. He picked up the baby pokemon, wrapping it in his jacket. He bounced it up and down a few times, soothing it.

It looked at him with a smile on its face, "Hap.. Happiny.." It then, effectively, sneezed.

Ash held it tighter, "your sick," he pulled the jacket over it's face, "don't worry, I got ya." He ran to the lab, slipping a few times. He landed on his side or back to avoid injuring the baby pokemon in his arms. He finally got inside, soaked to the bone.

He took the baby pokemon to the infirmary, not even hearing the professor scold him for being so stupid about going outside with the storm brewing outside. Ash sat his jacket on the bed, uncurling it to show the shivering baby pokemon underneath. The second he saw the baby, the professor shut up. Ash, unable to get the baby to let him go, said to Oak, "I need a lava cookie, ground up and mixed with berry juice put into a baby bottle, and a warm blanket for her."

Oak did as he was told, a first because nowadays he was arguing with Ash about how to treat ill pokemon. Ash preferred to mix new and old methods, Oak preferred either one or the other. Ash took the blanket and tried to get Happiny to let him go, but she wouldn't.

"Hey, you have to let go so I can wrap up your feet, then I'll put this warm blanket around you." Happiny shook her head, crying. "I promise I will never let you go. I'll never let anything hurt you. You just have to trust me." Happiny let him go, still scared. Ash wrapped up her feet, then swaddled it her, before holding her to him again. When he offered her the bottle, she didn't think twice about drinking it. After she was done drinking it, Ash burped her and laid her down on the bed, singing a song to get her to fall asleep.

Oak looked amazed. He had seen Ash care for baby pokemon before, but this was incredible. It could have been more than a few days old, and it already trusted him. This required research.

Over the next four months, Happiny followed Ash everywhere. Around town, the ranch, even to his house, to name a few places. She would wail her little lungs out if he left her eyesight for a long time. Oak told Ash that Happiny was a baby, an abandoned one, so that was why she was so attached to him.

Ash found out, by reading about the Happiny species, that they evolved into Chansey. They also carried around a rounded white rock in their pouch. Ash took a white stone and rounded it, before giving it to Happiny. She gave it to him, and he gave it back, saying it was better that she hold onto it.

Together, Ash and Happiny treated the pokemon at the ranch, and even went to pokemon centers all over Kanto to help at their request. They made a great team.
