The next morning, Oshawott woke up early. When he woke up he noticed Snivy and Tepig were not in the room, he thought where would the two have gone before he realized today was the day of the tournament. So Oshawott got dressed quickly, before he was ready he started sneezing again. Oshawott took a few minutes before the sneezing stopped when he finished sneezing, he took a box of tissues offered in the room that the other two requested and headed out for the tournament.
When Oshawott got to the tournament site, Oshawott saw Snivy and Tepig. Snivy said, "Oshawott, I'm so glad you got here, if you were not here in the next ten minutes you would have been a forfeit." Oshawott said, "Sorry that I was at late as I was, I saw the stuff in the room though so I brought them just in case." Snivy said, "That reminds me I should get my glasses on." After that the three got in positions for the tournament.
During the battle, Oshawott seemed to seem a bit out of it, most of his attacks were missing and the sneezing he had the day before seemed to be affecting him, he thought the practicing so much would make perfect the moves he learned recently but a majority of his attacks were hitting him instead. But his biggest mistake came when he was fighting the other trainers servine, Oshawott thought, "Oh no, he's a grass type, I don't have any moves to use against him, suddenly Oshawott did the unthinkable he sneezed everywhere and before he had his composure back he was taken out by a leaf storm." The judge said, "Oshawott is unable to continue." Shortly afterwards, Snivy and Tepig came rushing to Oshawotts side, Oshawott was still slightly out of it, but he had enough composure to hear Snivy say, "Come on Oshawott, we are getting you to the Pokémon center now." So Oshawott complied and let the other two get him to the Pokémon center.
When the trio got to the Pokémon center, Oshawotts sneezing started acting up again, sometime while Tepig was signing Oshawott in, Oshawott ended up sneezing on Snivy. Snivy said, "Oshawott are you okay." Oshawott said, "No, I'm not, I think I have a cold." Snivy asked, "When did it start." Oshawott said, "I think it started yesterday but it got worse during the tournament." Just then a nurse came in and called for oshawott, oshawott did not have the strength to walk so he asked Snivy to carry him to the exam room.
When they got to the exam room, the doctor asked them, "What seems to be the problem." Snivy said, "Oshawott told me in the waiting area he thinks he has a cold, he was sneezing most of today and it got worse at our tournament, it got aggravated when he was attacked by a leaf storm. Suddenly the doctor went to get a thermometer as well as some other stuff he needed for the exam. When he got back, first thing he tried was to get a temperature reading out of Oshawott. When the doctor took out the thermometer, Oshawott started sneezing again, the doctor said, "Maybe I should get a reading out of his ear if it's easier. Snivy said, "Its okay with me." The doctor then told Oshawott to lay on his side so he can put the thermometer in Oshawotts ear, it took a minute before the doctor could get a reading, when he was able to get a reading he said, "It appears he has quite the fever, he should not have competed today." Snivy said, "What was his temperature." The doctor said, "103.6." Snivy said, "That must be pretty bad."
A minute later, Oshawott started getting some chills, the doctor said, "Ok since we know he had a high fever and he is starting to have some chills, let's lay him on his back so we can see how his throat is. Suddenly the doctor told Oshawott to open wide. When the doctor looked at Oshawotts throat, he noticed his throat had some inflammation. The doctor asked, "Has oshawott ever had his tonsils removed that you are aware of since it looks like that area looks bad." Snivy said, "Oshawott has told me that area does not normally get too bad even when he's had infections this bad." The doctor said, "The good news it appears Oshawott has nothing that won't get resolved in a week, but he does have a pretty bad cold that can turn to the flu if he's not careful." Snivy said, "What does it mean for the tournament. We are in town for a Pokémon tournament." The doctor said, "The best I can let you do is make sure he goes to where you are staying to rest and tell the judge that Oshawott is not cleared to compete this time, also if his throat gets bad enough to come back and we can discuss further treatment." Snivy asked, "Does Oshawott need any medication to treat his illness." The doctor said, "Normally I don't prescribe medication for this kind of condition however if it gets bad enough there is a pharmacy nearby you can visit if his condition worsens." After that the trio checked out of the office.
