Chen Kai walked for over half an hour before finally reaching the town. He told the hospital's gatekeeper that he had left his phone inside.
The gatekeeper raised an eyebrow, "Hoh! You're that young man who kept getting carried in, a regular, huh?"
Although a bit surprised, he didn't ask further, and even let Chen Kai into the inpatient department in the middle of the night.
While the Nurse was dozing off, Chen Kai quietly snuck into Miraidon's room.
"I'm here, Miraidon. There was a small problem, but I've solved it now. I'll give you Electric-type energy right away!"
Miraidon sensed Chen Kai's arrival and let out a sigh of relief. It had waited all day, worried that Chen Kai wouldn't be able to get Electric-type energy. "You're finally here. Please input the Electric-type energy as quickly as possible!"
"Alright! Xiao Mei, Thunder Shock."
"Meep!"
Mareep's tail emitted yellow electricity, rushing towards Miraidon. At the same time, Miraidon's scream echoed in Chen Kai's mind.
"Ah!!!"
Miraidon's body twitched, and white smoke rose from it.
"Use... a gentler Electric-type move... this current is too strong," Miraidon said painfully.
"Oh, oh, oh! I'm sorry, Miraidon, I didn't consider your current state," Chen Kai said apologetically, pressing his palms together.
"Xiao Mei, use Thunder Wave gently on it."
"Meep, meep?" (￢_￢)
Mareep looked at Chen Kai with an expression that seemed to say, 'You don't seem very reliable, are you sure?'
Chen Kai scratched his head and said, "Xiao Mei, just gently, a slight Thunder Wave. It's also an Electric-type Pokemon, so don't worry, it won't get hurt again."
"Meep." Mareep nodded slightly, and a faint electric wave emanated from its yellow wool, shooting towards Miraidon. Miraidon's body began to flash with alternating purple and yellow light.
"Yes, just like that, slowly!"
However, after only a few minutes, Mareep was panting and lying on the ground: "Meep... meep..." Miraidon was like a bottomless pit; almost all of its electricity was drained, and it was truly out of strength.
Chen Kai gently stroked Mareep and handed it an apple. "You worked hard, Xiao Mei. Have some fruit first. I'll get you something delicious when we get back."
At the same time, a bright light shone in Miraidon's dark eyes. Although its eyes resembled LED lights, they were still Bright eyes. It stood on all fours and let out a roar, "Gah Sss!"
Chen Kai looked at Miraidon in surprise and asked, "Miraidon, how's your recovery?"
Miraidon first looked down to examine itself, then shook its head at Chen Kai and said, "I still cannot generate or absorb external natural energy. This is a situation I have never encountered before."
Chen Kai stroked his chin, pondering. He felt this situation was somewhat familiar.
Just then, a startled cry came from behind him, "Who are you?! What are you doing in the hospital in the middle of the night?"
Chen Kai turned to see the Nurse hiding behind Chansey. He scratched his head and said, "Nurse, I'm Chen Kai."
Chen Kai then explained everything to the Nurse. The Nurse looked at the now standing Miraidon and exclaimed, "I can't believe it recovered just from an electric shock!"
"Hehe, yes, treating it with a slight Thunder Wave, this is called electrotherapy!"
"I know that. That's usually a method for treating Electric-type Pokemon. What you did is truly amazing; other types of Pokemon can also be treated with Electric-type energy." The Nurse curiously kept examining Miraidon.
"It's a different color, so it's a bit special!" Chen Kai said vaguely.
"Wait a moment, I'll call the doctor to check again. Don't sneak into the hospital in the middle of the night again, alright?"
When the doctor came to examine it again, he also curiously looked at Miraidon: "This Cyclizar seems unusual; it appears to have an Electric typing. Is this your Pokemon?"
"Yes, yes, I had it practice Electric-type moves a while ago. It has a large amount of Electric-type energy inside it." Chen Kai lied guiltily; he didn't want others to discover Miraidon's secret.
"Doctor, how do you think it's recovering?"
The doctor stared at the instrument for a while before speaking: "It's almost recovered, but there's no fluctuation in the energy inside it, which is very strange.
Why don't you go to the convenience store and buy some easily digestible, high-energy food for it, so it can recover some stamina, and I'll observe it again."
Chen Kai nodded in agreement and ran to the 24-hour convenience store downstairs.
"Hello, I'll have a few Snickers!"
The drowsy store clerk looked up, staring at him with a puzzled expression, "Huh?"
Chen Kai scratched his head and explained, it's that kind of easily digestible, high-calorie food.
"It's so late, the store only has this sandwich," the clerk said, pointing to a white sandwich.
Emm... why does this plot feel more and more familiar? Chen Kai thought, rubbing his chin.
He bought 2 sandwiches and a few cans of regular milk for Miraidon and Mareep.
"What is this?" Miraidon, who had been very calm, couldn't help but examine the item in front of it.
"This is a sandwich. The convenience store only had this. Miraidon, just make do with it."
"Eat?" Miraidon asked, puzzled.
Chen Kai pointed at Mareep, "Look, just eat it like this."
At this moment, Mareep, already exhausted, was devouring the sandwich.
"Eat slowly, Xiao Mei," Chen Kai said, even holding the milk to feed Mareep.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp... Meep~!" Mareep, full and satisfied, showed a contented expression.
Miraidon mimicked it, took a bite of the sandwich, chewed, and swallowed.
"Zzz~" A faint glow emanated from its body.
"A very strange feeling!"
Chen Kai stroked Xiao Mei's wool. He asked curiously, "Miraidon, is this your first time eating a sandwich?"
Miraidon took its second bite, nodding at the same time: "Yes, to be precise, this is my first time performing the act of 'eating.' I've only seen this word in ancient books, which say 'eating' is an inefficient and slow way of acquiring energy.
But my body seems to really like this method of energy acquisition."
"Perhaps what the book says is correct, but eating is something that can bring joy to both body and mind. One shouldn't simply focus on efficiency," Chen Kai said, opening the milk and handing it over with a smile:
"Besides, eating only sandwiches is too dry. Have some milk."
...
"Wake up, the doctor wants to see you." Chen Kai, who had slept again in the hospital, was woken up by the Nurse.
"Regarding your Cyclizar, there's good news and bad news," the doctor said to Chen Kai with a serious expression.
Chen Kai jolted upright. The doctor continued, "The good news is that Cyclizar is out of danger and can be discharged."
"And the bad news?"
"The bad news is, unless a specific instrument inputs energy into it, it cannot generate energy itself, and it cannot use Pokemon moves."
Upon hearing this, Chen Kai turned his head with a worried expression to look at Miraidon on the adjacent bed. At this moment, Miraidon's gaze remained calm as it transmitted a message to him.
"I've been like this ever since I transmigrated to this world. There's nothing that can be done, but I'm still very grateful for your Helping Hand."
