The Nurse's face is severe but she sighs. "I see. Yes, that explains somethings." Then the caution drains from her face and she simply looks tired as she looks over Lily. "Honestly, this Pokémon seems to have had a rather nasty previous trainer. To overcome what's been done... It will take lots of time and effort. Often more than most people could provide. If you would like I can call in to the local station and they can take the incident from there."

"That was the point of the Friend Ball, to help with that. Then a grin spread across her face.
"Good thing it'll have five loving trainers to love and care for it and show it that not all humans are bad because we're a family at the Baker St. Detective Agency!"

A family huh?Lily nods as a smile spreads across her face. "As Brandy said, we'll take care of Randy ourselves. We have more than enough love and plenty of ways to convey it. It might be difficult at first, but sending to someone else feels like abandoning him at this point."

The nurse smiles sadly at the both of you. “If a Friend Ball and good intentions were enough to cure all the problems of this world, I would be all the happier.” Then she shook her head. “I fear here that will not be the case. But, if I cannot dissuade you, I pray that I am wrong. As you seem to be intent on this road, during our examination of your Mightyena, we found an item belt nging to its previous trainer... A shock collar that had been used so often that it burned through the fur and skin and new scar tissue formed over it.”

Lily clenches her fists so hard her knuckles almost crack. "I see...If you would be so kind as to let us have the collar, I think we could make some progress by burning the damned thing in front of Randy." She says with a smile that doesn't quite reach her eyes. Nisa, by virtue of being close to Lily, can tell it's the kind of smile she makes when she is decidedly not happy. Charm to persuade the nurse: 15

The nurse’s smile turns a bit viscous at the thought, but then the moment passes and she frowns instead. She shakes her head and says, “If only it were that simple. With the damage done, it would likely take a surgery and specialized equipment to remove without further damage, and that would have no small cost. I can give you the ID the item was registered to. But removing it is more complex. Either way, it will likely be a couple days before your Mightyena is fully healed.”

Tears welled up in Brandy's eyes as she heard the story of Randy's life. She wiped her eyes as the nurse and her friend concluded, her eyes bright with sadness, anger, and hope. She walked over to Lily, and put her hand on her shoulder as she spoke to them both.
"Do everything you can for him here, and we'll do everything we can for him when we get him home. I'll take that ID though, maybe I can track the person down and get them to tell us how to release the collar. If I can't, we'll start saving up to pay for its removal. How much would it cost?"

Lily looks at Nisa. "I don't think it's as simple as releasing it, Brandy. It sounds like even if it is released, they'll still have to surgically remove it." She says before turning back to the nurse. "I'll leave him here with you then. What's the collar ID?"

"Right. It healed around the collar so it can't be taken off easily. Then we can't get him to release it, we can still report him to the authorities."

The Nurse smiles again. "I have already begun filing the report," she informs you. "The man the device is registered to is a Hamin Joques. This isn't the first time that he's done something of this kind either."

Brandy frowns.
"What else has happened?"

"Let's just say this isn't the first time he's done something like this and leave it there. Getting angry about other instances for which he's already been tried is not going to help." She then turns back to Lily. "If you come back the day after tomorrow, your Mightyena should be as healed as we can get him. Though I have to ask, it's getting late. How far away do you live?"

"About an hour away." Lily said, already trying to decide which method she was going to use to get her father to tell her what he knows about Mr. Joques.

Brandy takes the nurse's wisdom, nodding her head.
"We can make it home safely on our own."

Gumnisa follows, trying to determine the direction back in the dark of the night.

Lily works with Nisa to get back to the agency. As she opens the door, she gives an exhausted sigh as the events of the day catch up with her. "What a day...At least it looks like we'll be able to pay our rent..."
