Instead of resting, Zhang Heng chatted with Dr. Qiu in the hospital corridor for a long time, listening to many stories about the Southwest Champion, and was deeply impressed by the Southwest Champion's personal charm.
"Xiao Heng, regarding the exploration, Dr. Lin and I have already thought of a solution for you. But the premise is that you must ensure your own safety. If anything happens to you, we won't be able to explain it to Grandpa Zhang."
Zhang Heng was also very moved by these words, but some things could not be accomplished simply by his eagerness.
"Dr. Qiu, you should go rest first. I have no clue right now, and rash exploration might increase the risk."
"It's good that you have your own plans. We will try our best to create opportunities for you."
In the hospital corridor, a nurse hurried over, her steps urgent. She walked up to Dr. Qiu.
"Dr. Qiu, Cheng Feng in bed 3 has woken up. Would you like to go check on him?" The nurse said, slightly out of breath, her voice clear but tired. Medical staff on night duty were truly very hardworking.
"Dr. Qiu, I'll go for you. I know all the simple post-operative care and precautions."
Dr. Qiu nodded and said to the nurse, "Just let my assistant physician go check."
Then he took out a Poké Ball, and with a flash of white light, a Pokémon appeared with wing-like fluff on its head, and a cluster of milky white fluff on each side. Vines extended from the top of the wing-like fluff, wrapped around to its hands, and were covered in flowers.
Zhang Heng said, "This is... a Fairy-type Comfey!"
"Go, help Zhang Heng recover some stamina."
Comfey floated over lightly, surrounded by a soft glow. When it reached Zhang Heng, the flowers on its body trembled slightly, and pollen scattered into the air, gradually forming a dreamlike mist of light that slowly enveloped Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng only felt a warm and vital force surge into his body the moment it touched the light mist. His tense nerves gradually relaxed, his originally heavy limbs felt as if new vitality had been injected into them, and the fatigue in his body slowly receded like a tide.
"Thank you, Dr. Qiu."
"You're welcome. It's just that you're young, so the recovery effect is so good. If it were my body, the effect wouldn't be as significant. Alright, I'll go rest for a bit."
As he finished speaking, he got up and headed to the lounge.
Led by the nurse, Zhang Heng arrived at Ward 3 and found that Dr. Lin had already arrived and was conversing with Cheng Feng on the bed.
Although Cheng Feng was conscious, his chest and hands were wrapped in thick bandages, and he could not move his body. Moreover, the real pain would begin after the anesthetic wore off.
Dr. Lin: "Celestial King Cheng, the surgery went very well. Next is a long recovery period. Just try your best to cooperate."
"Thank you, Dr. Lin."
Cheng Feng was a little down, seemingly recalling the scene of being unilaterally slaughtered by the Cyberpunk Helmet Man, which made him fall from a new Elite in his prime to having all his main Pokémon perish, never to reach his peak again. This was the norm in the Pokémon world.
Dr. Lin had seen too many geniuses become dispirited after losing their main Pokémon, and he gently comforted him, saying, "The silver lining is that Darmanitan has been rescued."
"Really? Doctor, is my partner out of danger?" In his impression, Darmanitan, whose bones were shattered by Super Steelix, should have had no chance of survival.
Dr. Lin pointed to Zhang Heng at the door and said, "It was this young healer who provided the treatment, which bought us the opportunity for rescue."
With that, both of their gazes turned to Zhang Heng. Cheng Feng's eyes were even more fervent, filled with immense emotion and gratitude, like someone who had struggled in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw the dawn of hope. His eyes were slightly red, and his lips trembled slightly.
Zhang Heng was watched by this fervent gaze, his face showing humility as he calmly accepted this respect and gratitude. Being overly humble would have been pretentious.
Seeing that the objective had been achieved, Dr. Lin spoke again, "Such a young healer needs more opportunities to train, so we plan to hold a one-day free clinic in the prison, allowing all members of our medical team to provide free consultations for the prison guards and inmates in the prison."
Cheng Feng also agreed, "This is naturally excellent. It can not only stabilize the restless hearts of the inmates in the prison but also soothe the prison guards who are under high pressure all year round."
Dr. Lin continued, "So, could Celestial King Cheng please speak well of us to Champion Li and expedite the approval of our proposal? Our medical team will be leaving after rescuing you, especially now that you have woken up."
Cheng Feng readily agreed, "No problem."
Dr. Lin also winked at Zhang Heng, indicating that the opportunity for him to explore the items had been achieved.
Originally, the medical team was to leave the prison after rescuing the Elite. Dr. Lin skillfully used the psychology of Cheng Feng, who had come back from the dead but fallen to rock bottom, and then clarified Zhang Heng's rescue of his Pokémon.
Under the dual moral and life-saving benefactor's coercion, Cheng Feng naturally chose to help them carry out this beneficial and harmless free clinic activity.
Having obtained permission to conduct a free clinic in the prison, Zhang Heng would have one day to explore the situation within the prison...
.........
It was now around 5 AM, the sky was dimly lit, and the sea was shrouded in mist, with a hint of fish-belly white. Although the entire sky was still predominantly black, there was no longer a need to rely on moonlight for direction.
After a night of rushing, Zhang Lei Yuan and Overlord Charizard had arrived on a small isolated island about one kilometer away from the designated area, or more precisely, on a narrow tidal flat.
Charizard was exhausted, after all, it had previously rushed all the way to the Water-type Wilderness Area, and then directly crossed the South Sea. Fortunately, it was a Champion Overlord Pokémon, otherwise, an ordinary Pokémon really couldn't complete such a task.
Charizard lay directly on the slightly damp ground of the tidal flat, resting, its breathing uneven.
Zhang Lei Yuan casually threw out a Poké Ball. With a 'bang' and a flash of white light, a rat-like Pokémon about one meter tall appeared. Its entire body was orange, and its hands and tail were beige – Pawmot.
"Pawmot, give Charizard a massage to relax his muscles."
"Noh noh~"
Pawmot lightly leaped onto Charizard's back, and Fighting-type energy surged into its large hands, gathering on them, and it began to massage Charizard's back.
It was using the Fighting-type move, Helping Hand, where it fiercely pushes the opponent to attack. In the game, it can attack 2-5 times consecutively.
Pawmot was not Zhang Lei Yuan's battle Pokémon, but rather a health manager that provided medical support for his true main Pokémon, a very trustworthy partner.
Zhang Lei Yuan felt strange looking at this scene and said, "Giving a dragon a massage service... Hmm, it looks quite proper."
Without thinking too much, he then took out the specially made energy cubes and water for Charizard. Timely attention to a Pokémon's condition and maintaining a good state were what a Trainer should do.
Zhang Lei Yuan looked up at the hazy sky and said, "It's time to prepare a gift for Xiao Heng as he becomes a Trainer."
