If you don't like needles, like epicly, I wouldn't read this, but it's really not that bad. I just know some people like this, so I want to be fair and warn you.
Joy wasn't shocked by how badly the boy was sick, but she was that he was alive. Joy had seen him go up the mountain, he stopped to heal his Pokemon, didn't say a thing, and left. She had just started her training as a nurse, and wondered how long until he came down. Eventually she just forgot about the mysterious red-eyed boy. She had brought out her other Pokemon to aid her after Audino's request. His appearance was generally normal, but Audino's sharp hearing picked up that he wasn't breathing normally the second he walked into the room. Audino scratched at Joy's belt, which held her other Pokemon. She let them out, a Gardevoir and a Luxray. Audino briefly discussed something with the Luxray, and it turned to Red, eyes glowing gold. It growled something to the pink Pokemon, and Audino then nodded to Gardevoir. She looked to Joy, speaking through telepathically.
'Luxray can see a lot of fluid in the lungs; it's pneumonia, definitely. In general he's pretty bad… It seems he's had hypothermia for a while. Malnourished; practically starving, Frostbite. Neither of them have any idea how he's lasted this long.' She motioned to the other Pokemon, who were the 'them' she was referring to.
Joy blinked, then nodded, glancing back to the boy. The wet clothes he wore would only make him colder. "Audino and Luxray, try and keep him warm. Gardevoir, get those wet clothes off him. I'm going to find any extra clothing I can in the Lost and Found."
'B- But,' Gardevoir stuttered. Her face went pink with embarrassment.
"Not all the way." Joy clarified with a huff, exiting the room and running towards the Center office. She thought to herself that sometimes Pokemon could be so immature. And at a time like this! Joy mumbled something under her breath, swinging the door open and rummaging through a wooden box full of forgotten clothes. She removed several pieces of clothing, mainly going for jackets, socks, and sweatpants.
Her mind swept to the pneumonia. She'd need to drain the fluid from his lungs, or he could suffocate. She pulled a cannula from a drawer under some cabinets, and made her way out of the room, running back to where the Pokemon were. Red's wet garments were folded and placed on the side table along with a Pokeball, and even though he wasn't completely stripped Gardevoir blushed fiercely. Audio and Luxray had coiled themselves around Red's unconscious form, careful not to put their weight on him. Audino was trying to reduce the frostbite in his hands with Heal Pulse. It didn't seem to be working, but when Luxray growled to him about it the Audino ignored the Lion, thinking he could see the color lighten ever so slightly.
Joy opened the door awkwardly; her hands full, and Gardevoir took the clothes from her. She placed the cannula on the table, trying to find a bucket or something. "Only the lower half, his lungs need to be drained." She noticed that the frail boy was beginning to shiver. Joy nodded a bit, that was a good sign. Shivering is the body's way of attempting to eliminate cold. Gardevoir motioned for Audino and Luxray to get off, and they jumped off the bed. Gardevoir put several of the layers onto him using Psychic, and sat him up.
'Pain killer?' The Pokemon asked curiously. Joy shook her head.
"No time," She replied. "Luxray, show me the area where the fluid is." The tip of Luxray's tail pointed to a part of Red's pale chest.
'…This'll hurt.' Gardevoir thought to herself. He remained limp, but coughed softly, his breathing was harder to maintain.
"Make sure he doesn't move." The nurse muttered. She didn't want to poke the wrong organ on accident. With that Joy plunged the needle into his side, and he suddenly was pulled out of consciousness, flinching at the piercing pain. He tried to struggle, but his body remained useless to him, too weak to react, and he fell into a coughing fit. He heard someone cuss. A Pokemon, who tipped his head up to meet her eyes, grabbed his arm forcefully. It looked like a Gardevoir. The eyes flashed purple, and suddenly the darkness that had been creeping slowly into his vision swallowed him up.
It was done. The fluid was drained, and Joy patched up his side carefully. His breathing seemed less forced, but was still soft and weak. Audino was still working on the frostbite, which looked a pale shade off blue-black by then. It was working slowly, but decently. Gardevoir had put a couple of the sweatshirts and jackets on the passed out trainer, laying the rest out like blankets under the bed covers. Luxray wrapped himself around the boy. Despite their efforts he continued to shudder. Joy wondered if he's wake soon. He looked scrawny, and she supposed he could use some food.
Red awoke abruptly, but his eyelids were about the only things that flickered. His chest burned, along with most of his skin. The pain was almost unbearable, and he clenched his jaw shut tight, a small almost inaudible whimper escaping from his lips. Something shifted next to him, and even the small movement added to the needles that seemed to pierce him. Red closed his eyes, taking a small breath before he let his damaged body take its toll.
Green didn't sleep at all. He didn't seem to be the only one who lost sleep, though. Despite them not saying anything, Lyra fidgeted constantly, not able to get comfortable, Blue looking out the window into the blackness most the night, and was first to see the light of the morning. Black was the only one to get a decent sleep.
Blue sat up as dawn appeared on the horizon. She carefully stepped down from the top bunk, and Lyra stirred under her on the bottom bunk as the ladder creaked. Green's head snapped up from playing around with his Pokedex, which was on mute. "Whatcha doing?" Lyra asked sleepily as Blue stepped onto the floor.
"…I want was just…" She trailed off, walking to the door. Green got up tiredly, sighing.
"May as well," he replied. He really didn't want to. At all. The new would come either way, though. Lyra followed silently behind them. They were all tense as they entered the lobby.
Nurse Joy was not in the lobby. They glanced around a bit, and made their way to the room Red was in. Blue glanced at them, and tentatively knocked on the door. Joy answered, casually sipping a cup of hot cocoa. "Oh, hello," She allowed them in, and they rushed to Red's side. He seemed asleep, or unconscious, but either way he looked peaceful. He was shivering despite a Luxray lying with him. An Audino was working on his frostbitten hands. Comparing one to the other, the hand Audino was working on looked a lot better. "He woke up once, but fell unconscious a couple seconds later."
Blue was kneeling next to Red, and brushed stray hair from his cheek. "So… He's okay?"
"For now, yes, but he's been shivering a lot. I don't exactly know why, but it shouldn't be anything to worry about." Joy smiled comfortingly. Lyra sat next to Blue, Green standing behind them. Lyra looked up at Green. He was smiling softly. With that he left.
