Chapter 3: Curing Eevee (1)
Jun tapped the condition tap section.
[Condition: Eevee has been infected by Pokerus genetically]
[Recommendation for cure: None]
Jun was taken aback when he read the name of the sickness: Pokerus. He knew very well what this sickness was. It was caused by a virus, a very rare virus that was actually beneficial to the Pokemon that contracted it. It was said that the odds of encountering a wild Pokemon with this sickness were between 1 in 21,178 and 1 in 21,845, or roughly a 0.004651% chance.
The beneficial thing about Pokerus is that when a Pokemon has it or is cured from it, it gains double the effort values from battling. Every Pokemon will gain an increase in stats from winning a battle, but with Pokerus, the increase is doubled. For example, if a normal Eevee wins a battle and its speed increases from 20 to 30, with Pokerus, its speed will increase from 20 to 40.
This is particularly useful since manipulating this detail would allow trainers to build up their Pokemon's stats incredibly fast without wasting levels. In turn, Pokemon are able to reach their full potential more quickly.
Better yet, infecting a young Pokemon with Pokerus and giving it proper training will result in a much stronger Pokemon than usual since it will have had Pokerus affecting its growth since birth. That alone is more than enough reason for Pokemon infected with Pokerus is the best choice for him now.
But the problem was that there was no cure for it, Jun thought to himself. He remembered that the sickness followed a four-day cycle. If the Eevee could survive, its future would be very bright. But if not, it would just be a memory. Jun looked at the Eevee with a complicated expression in his eyes
In his past life, he had spent a lot of time playing Pokemon games and reading Pokemon fanfics. While reading, he wouldn't necessarily get carried away by the situations in the stories. However, as he looked at the current situation in front of him, it reminded him of the time when he used to take care of his sick younger siblings in the orphanage.
"Eevee, may I know since when has this little Eevee been in this condition?" he asked the Eevee that had brought him here.
"Kyuu, Kyuu," Eevee raised its paw and swung it a few more times.
Jun was confused, and finally, he grabbed a tree branch and drew numbers from 1 to 4.
"Eevee, you choose how many days the condition is," Jun pointed to the numbers.
Eevee then pointed to number 1, meaning it had only been a day.
Now he needed to be careful. He quickly scanned the other Eevees here, but it seemed that none of them were infected with this virus. As he knew, this virus was contagious, but it was fortunate that only this little Eevee was infected. Now, he needed to bring this little Eevee to an isolated place.
'But first, the Pokemon center,' Jun thought. He quickly hugged the little Eevee and explained to the other Eevees that he needed to bring this Eevee to be cured. After getting their consent, he quickly made a run to the Pokemon center. But in the middle of it, he slapped his forehead.
"Crap! I am in the auditorium now. How can I find the Pokemon center here?" Jun scanned his surroundings and his eyes lit up when he saw his aunt.
He quickly ran to his aunt, "Aunt, Aunt, I need your help," Jun screamed to get her attention.
His aunt was startled hearing Jun's anxious voice, thinking he was in trouble. But when she saw he was running with an Eevee in his arms, she was surprised.
"Jun, what happened?" she asked.
"Aunt, this Eevee is sick. Can you help me bring it to the Pokemon center for a cure?"
Aunt Mia slowly crouched and looked at the Eevee. It was basically pale and its body was shaking non-stop. 'Is it a fever?' she thought, wondering if the fever was very bad because it was shaking badly.
"Follow me," she instructed Jun.
Jun quickly followed her and arrived at the Pokemon center branch inside the auditorium. When Jun stepped into the Pokemon center, he was stupefied because he saw what every Pokemon fan knows: Nurse Joy! She had pale skin, large blue eyes, and long pink hair worn in a bun with her nurse's uniform with a red cross on the front and a matching nurse's hat.
