Chapter 66: A Young Lady from Next Door Has Just Grown Up

~7 min read 1,342 words

As mentioned before, Pingdie Town is a quiet and peaceful small town; unlike big cities, it doesn't see trainers and Pokémon arriving at the Pokémon Center daily, battle-worn and covered in dust.

Therefore, Miss Miss Junsha of Pingdie Town has very little work, mostly dealing with minor issues like a certain auntie's Meowth losing its Pay Day coins and getting a big bump on its forehead, or a certain uncle's Maschiff losing its appetite.

When she truly feels idle, Miss Miss Junsha of Pingdie Town heads into the wild to treat injured wild Pokémon, demonstrating abundant medical ethics.

Luo Mu stood before the tightly closed doors of the Pokémon Center, his expression somewhat bewildered.

It isn't even four in the afternoon yet... why would the Pokémon Center be closed?

Luo Mu stood there for a while with Growlithe at his side until a passing auntie carrying a Meowth noticed their confused backs and approached to remind them, "If you're looking for Miss Miss Junsha, she isn't here right now."

"Huh?"

Luo Mu let out a sound of disbelief; he clearly remembered that Miss Miss Junsha worked year-round unless sick... no, even when sick, many Miss Junshas would persist on the front lines of the Pokémon Center, earning them the title of the Pokémon world's model workers alongside Miss Miss Junsha.

Luo Mu stopped the auntie, who had begun to leave after her reminder, and asked sincerely, "Big sister, is Miss Miss Junsha resting because she's sick?"

"Calling me 'big sister'... hehehe, what a sweet-talking little boy~" Two blushes appeared on the face of the auntie holding the Meowth; her movements became gentler, her attitude instantly changed, and she directly resolved Luo Mu's confusion: "Since you asked that question, you certainly haven't watched today's news."

"Our Paldea Region League's Top Champion, Geeta, stated on the news that because Typhoon 'Haiyan' has caused significant impact on wild Pokémon, the Paldea Region, which values harmonious coexistence with nature, naturally must contribute its share, calling on Miss Junshas with fewer duties to go into the wild and help disaster-stricken wild Pokémon."

Luo Mu fell silent... it seemed the news he had listened to on his phone earlier was just about to cover this matter, but he had casually turned off his phone without continuing to watch; otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to go out and visit Miss Miss Junsha at this time.

What a misunderstanding!

Does this mean he can only turn back home now?

The auntie didn't notice Luo Mu's expression; she paused briefly before continuing, "However, it's been most of the day since Miss Miss Junsha left; calculating the time, she should be returning to Pingdie Town now. If you have urgent business, I know exactly where she went, and for your sweet words, I'll tell you for free!"

Luo Mu nodded vigorously and said, "Please!"

His principle in dealing with people and matters was to solve problems directly whenever an opportunity arose; dragging things out would only turn them into huge troubles!

The auntie had a very good impression of this polite young man, Luo Mu, and said cheerfully, "By the way, this particular Miss Miss Junsha is quite special; she went to..."

The wilderness outside Pingdie Town.

Here, trees blown down or snapped by the typhoon were visible everywhere; the earthen ground was a muddy mess, where one careless step would cause shoes to pick up clumps of mud difficult to clean.

Miss Miss Junsha, dressed in a pink nurse's uniform, walked across the muddy ground with her partner Chansey; her originally clean and tidy outfit and neat hairstyle had long since become messy and caked with mud due to high-intensity rescue efforts.

Her hands, including her arms, were wrapped in thick bandages, appearing as though she had been injured.

On Miss Miss Junsha's exquisite face, there was no complaint about this situation; instead, wearing a full smile, she carried her medical kit and walked step by step toward Pingdie Town.

Having treated many wild Pokémon injured by the typhoon today, Miss Miss Junsha felt it was worth it no matter how bitter or tiring it was.

Anyway, the Pokémon Center might not even have one trainer come through the door in a day to treat their Pokémon; later, she would take Chansey to the market to buy some boiled peanuts and pick up a case of ice-cold beer to properly reward herself for a hard day's work!

The smile on Miss Miss Junsha's face grew deeper and deeper; walking through the mud, she seemed to carry a breeze with her.

"Lucky!"

Until the voice of Chansey, who had been walking quietly beside her, caught Miss Miss Junsha's attention; as an old partner who graduated from nursing school together with her, Miss Miss Junsha quickly understood Chansey's meaning—there was a distressed wild Pokémon!

Miss Miss Junsha instantly snapped out of her fantasy, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp; following the direction pointed by Chansey's short arms, she saw a large tree, thick enough to require two or three people to encircle it, had snapped, and beneath that broken tree, a trapped Pokémon and its anxious companion were strikingly visible.

"That is... a Falinks?" Miss Miss Junsha widened her eyes, quickly identifying the species of the wild Pokémon: the highly unique Formation Pokémon Falinks, composed of six individuals forming one Pokémon.

Then, Miss Miss Junsha quickly said to Chansey beside her, "Let's go, we'll help!"

Chansey responded swiftly: "Lucky!"

Probably due to the nurse's natural affinity and the presence of Chansey, who enjoys an excellent reputation among wild Pokémon, Miss Miss Junsha's arrival did not cause the five anxious Falinks minions circling the trunk, trying to save their boss, to become stressed; instead, they received a plea for help from the Falinks followers.

Miss Miss Junsha first comforted each of the Falinks minions, who bore scars more or less on their bodies, then shifted her gaze to the Falinks boss pinned under the tree trunk, who had been trapped for who knew how long and had already fallen into unconsciousness.

"We must move the broken tree trunk away immediately to administer first aid, otherwise the Falinks boss will be in life-threatening danger!"

Miss Miss Junsha made her judgment quickly; the five Falinks minions looked at each other, their expressions somewhat confused—if they had the strength to move the tree trunk, they would have done so long ago.

The corners of Miss Miss Junsha's mouth curled upward; under the puzzled gazes of the Falinks and Chansey's cheering, she rubbed her fists together, approached the gap in the center of the tree trunk, planted her feet in a horse stance, bent her waist, and thrust her bandaged hands into the crevice; her sweet voice suddenly became deep and powerful as Miss Miss Junsha shouted, "Up, for, me!"

Under the dumbfounded expressions of the Falinks minions, the thick tree trunk moved; it was lifted directly off the ground by Miss Miss Junsha, revealing the body of the Falinks boss that had been pinned and unconscious.

With every muscle in her body exerting force, Miss Miss Junsha cast an oppressive glare, fiercely staring at the stunned Falinks minions, and scolded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and save your boss!"

Only then did the Falinks minions suddenly realize what to do; they swarmed forward in a rush and rescued their boss.

Seeing the boss rescued, Miss Miss Junsha slowly bent down and placed the thick tree trunk back in its original spot.

All of this was witnessed by Luo Mu, who had arrived following the auntie's directions.

Initially, he had planned to step in and help, but after witnessing this scene, Luo Mu finally understood why the auntie had said this particular Miss Miss Junsha was a bit special.

Lifting a broken tree trunk thick enough for two or three people to encircle all by herself... such monstrous strength was truly terrifying!

What is this?

A Young Lady from next door has just grown up, her strength pulling up mountains and her spirit overshadowing the world?
