Chapter 26: Two hits and a Blissey

I decided to spend the day in Violet City to prepare for the road ahead. After a nice sleep in, I went down and was greeted by Nurse Joy and her Chansey.

Chansey

217

Normal Type

Egg Pokémon

3'07" (1.1m)

76.3 lbs (34.6 kg)

Few in number and difficult to capture, it is said to bring happiness to the trainer who catches it.

"I am so glad to see you have come so far" Nurse Joy complimented. "To think you had only 1 Badge last time I saw you".

Just then, a Youngster walked in the Pokémon Centre with his Pokémon next to him.

Raticate

018

Normal Type

Mouse Pokémon

2'04" (0.7 m)

40.8 lbs (18.5 kg)

Gnaws on anything with its tough fangs. It can even topple concrete buildings by gnawing on them.

Evolved from Rattata at Lv 20.

"It was a tough battle, but I pulled through".

He held up the Zephyr Badge. I congratulated him for winning.

"I need a good heal up. Me and my other Pokémon are beat. Man. Ever since that tree blocking Goldenrod had disappeared, everyone has been challenging Falkner. I was the first to challenge him and there is already a queue outside".

Chansey took Raticate and another Pokeball and took them over. The Pokémon were healed and brought back over to the Youngster.

"My name is Marvin. I had to walk the long way round from Goldenrod to get here. By the time I made it, the tree had disappeared!"

Nurse Joy gave a smile. "That's good. I better get to work. The Pokémon Centre is being inspected today. Everything better be just right."

As she said that, I noticed that Chansey was glowing. The glow got brighter and brighter. Once the glow had died down, Chansey looked, fluffier.

Blissey

218

Normal Type

Happiness Pokemon

4'11" (1.5 m)

103.2 lbs (46.8 kg)

It has a very compassionate nature. If it sees a sick Pokémon, it will nurse the sufferer back to health.

Evolved from Chansey after levelling up at high happiness.

Nurse Joy seemed concerned. This then turned into a panic.

"OH NO! EVERY POKEMON CENTRE MUST HAVE A CHANSEY WITH IT! IF THEY FIND OUT IT EVOLVED. I WILL LOOSE MY JOB!"

Me and Marvin went outside to let her calm down.

The two of us sat on a bench thinking about what to do. "Why does is have to be Chansey? So what if it evolves into Blissey? Wouldn't that mean it would be better?" Marvin questioned. "We need to think of a plan".

One of the plans I suggested was that we catch a Chansey and it takes the place of Blissey.

"There are no Chansey in Johto. The Pokémon Centre is supplied with a Chansey and has a special stamp on it so that they know it works there. Even if by chance we did find one, they would find out pretty quickly that it's not hers."

At that moment, a van drove past.

"It's them. What will we do?" Marvin asked.

Then I had it; why don't we buy time? Distract them with something which will give Nurse Joy time to think of something.

"That's our best option for now. I will use my other Pokémon for this" Marvin said, sending out another Pokémon.

Yanma

101

Bug/Flying Type

Clear Wing Pokémon

3'11" (1.2 m)

83.8 lbs (38 kg)

If it flaps its wings really fast, it can generate shock waves that will shatter windows in the area.

"I know this will work. Because as it turns out, one of the Inspectors is my Dad!"

At that point, I told him to stop. If he finds out that is his Yanma, he will get in trouble.

"Not as much trouble as Nurse Joy will be in."

Yanma flew over to the truck and it landed on the bonnet.

"Hey, get off the van!" shouted one of the men as the two of us ran back to the Pokémon Centre.

When we got back, we noticed Nurse Joy panicking even more. Her hair was a mess as she was trying to comb Blissey to make it look like Chansey. I told her to stop and breath. They defiantly wouldn't let her pass if she is this stressed.

Soon, the truck arrived and the Inspectors walked in.

"Nurse Joy of Violet City. Just relax. We will get this over with."

They looked around every nook and cranny, writing down notes as they went. "May we see Chansey please?"

Nurse Joy started coming up with excuses such as Chansey went for a walk or Chansey was helping clean the toilets.

"Nurse Joy, we cannot give you any rating if you don't have Chansey."

At that point, Blissey poked its head up from the counter. Nurse Joy looked shocked but tried to stay calm. The Inspector went over to Blissey and examined it.

"Nurse Joy, I am impressed. You have evolved your Chansey into a Blissey. It takes a lot of care and hard work to do that."

Nurse Joy smiled.

"You weren't stressing because you thought we would fire you because Chansey evolved did you? No, in fact, this will add to your rating!"

An hour later, the Inspectors gave her a rating.

"5 stars?! Really?" said Nurse Joy. "Yes, congratulations. For both this grade and the Evolution".

Marvin went up to the Inspector. "Dad, that Yanma was mine. We tried to buy time to calm Nurse Joy down."

The Inspector smiled. "Just don't do it again son. But I am glad you thought about Nurse Joy. Well, good luck to all of you".

I had helped someone today, and I needed to rest after it all.
