The nurses at the Pokemon Center were just starting to fully check-in and document the fossil Pokemon.

"They are both receiving evaluation and initial treatment right now," the pink-haired lady at the front desk explained to Sarah. "We're still gathering information to make sure it's safe to visit them. For now, do you have any additional information that could help?"

Lileep stared at the food choices for a minute. She seemed to be paralyzed by the choice and eventually picked one at random. She poked her tentacled head out of the cage just long enough to grab a poffin and retreat back. The grass type took a tiny tentative bite and then voraciously gobbled the rest.

[i]"... ..................Thanks."[/i]

Arctozolt seemed confused by the way Eski was gazing at him. He stopped firing electricity for the time being. He still shuddered and screamed at the top of his lungs, wide-eyed. A nurse's aide stepped closer with a frown. That Pokemon may have to be sedated to protect the other patients if it wouldn't calm down.

Trillo yelped and hid in his shell when the grumbling ghost-type came near and stayed hidden, just to be safe. It wasn't like he was [b]scared[/b] of ghosts. He was just... [i]cautious.[/i] The nurse looked confused for a second as Pip and Alan presented a rock for treatment. But then she got the picture and took Trillo to the same room as Lileep.

"Lucky you have that shell there," the nurse commented as she prepared a pair of heavy gloves and a wrench-like device. "But it would be a big problem if that glass got you stuck on something. Don't worry, you'll be back to normal soon."

The nurse began a delicate and careful procedure. Then she frowned and took a different tack, pulling at the glass chunk with increasing strength. Meanwhile, Trillo's glowing eyes grew wider and wider within the safety of his shell. Finally, the panting nurse gave up. She blushed with shame as she headed toward the intercom system.

"Staff and visitors, we request a muscular Pokemon over to room 3C," echoed throughout the building.
