The Houndoom's Gift

"Prologue"

It was an ordinary day for 15 year old Saori. She was working at Viridian Pokecenter where she hopes to become a Pokemon Veterinarian, much like Nurse Joy. She was tending to a Houndour's broken leg.

"Hmmm.....It's the right front leg, Chansey," Saori said to a big, round, and pink Pokemon.

"Chansey...Chansey....Chansey Chansey!" Chansey replied as it got the medication. Nurse Joy came in and once she saw the Houndour, she began to observe it.

After a while, she asked Saori, "Does it have an owner?"

"I think so, but then again, I'm not sure."

"Well, I think it should stay overnight, and tomorrow, we can begin searching for its owner!" the Nurse said with a smile. She then nodded and walked out of the room to tend to other Pokemon.

Saori rubbed the Houndour's neck and said, "Oh, Houndour, how did you get that broken leg of yours?"
