After exiting the building, the cold of Olmia shocks you a bit. During the summers, Alium was quite warm, and no matter where you and your father went on a dig, it always seemed to be blistering hot. The mines, though, they’re always cold. You didn’t have to be down in the mines, but you do have to be out in the cold here in Olmia. “Here is the Training facilities. For a fee of $500, the on-staff Trainers will train up to six Pokemon there.” She points out a blue building with white lettering on it, then moves to point at a similar building. “That one is the Grooming facilities. You can leave your Pokemon to be groomed there while you take classes or do other activities. If you’re looking for the pool, it’s in town. It’s also used by the community when school isn’t in session, and it keeps the campus from being too cramped.”She leads you to a large building, and knocks on the door. You hear someone yell, “Just a minute!” inside before the door opens. A short boy who looks quite young answers the door. In fact, he could be easily mistaken for a girl, and you might’ve yourself if you didn’t know this was a probably one of the male dorms He has short silver hair, and grey-blue eyes. You can see from their eyes the energy in this kid. He has on a grey long-sleeve shirt and a green bowler shirt over it. He has on a pair of plain black pants and green sneakers. “This is Alex Ite, he’s another of your dorm-mates.”“I guess I’ll introduce you to everyone else, then! Come on in!” Before you know it, the door is closed behind you, and you’re standing in your new home for 18 months. The room is large, but quite quaint. There’s a small kitchenette off to the side with a bar style counter-top and stools. Further in the room is a large seating area with couches, recliners, and a fireplace. Above the fireplace is a large television, and next to the fireplace is a singular holographic computer. Lamps and tasteful throw blankets adorn the room, but it has mostly been left empty to allow the students to decorate. A bunch of suitcases litter the room, and you spot your’s quickly. It’s well-used, and it’s somehow survived countless expeditions. There’s a hallway on the left that you assume leads to the rooms. “That right there is Zo,” The boy says, pointing out a guy sitting on the couch. He has short brown hair, a necklace with a red pendant, and a red button-down shirt and a black blazer. “There’s Jay and Quinn,” He continues, pointing out two ginger guys who look eerily similar. They’re dressed in the latest trends of Impero, ripped jeans, layered clothing, and overly flashy jewelry proudly displayed as their pendants. “And I’m Dakota!” He exclaims, pointing to himself. “I don’t know where Xander and Greg are, but they’re around here too!”
So, put your next post in The Boy's Dorm thread, but please wait until after I post there first. It'll make more sense continuity wise that way.

You wake up staring at a white wall. A beeping startles you somewhat, and looking around, you spot what must be the source of it. There’s a grey cover on your middle finger connected to a monitor that gently beeps every few seconds. Around your arm is a cuff that is also connected to this. On your other arm is an IV dripping some sort of fluid into your arm, making you feel cold. Luckily, you’ve been covered in a warm blanket. Oddly enough though, you can’t really feel your shirt anymore.
Looking around the room a bit more, you notice a few chairs, and on one of them is a new uniform. You’re in a white room with a few windows that have the shutters drawn. On the side of your hospital bed is a cord with a red button labeled “Call.”

Alex lay there a moment, taking stock of his situation. There was an IV in his arm, and that beeping was getting annoying... Who had brought him here? Who would have even... He stopped himself short, realizing the answer. The Liason would have known. He looked around for his phone and pokedex, intending to send a quick thank you to the Liason. He had a moment to think to himself. Two Mankeys had completely wiped him out, and Kabby... Oh lord where was Kabby. His eyes widened in panic, not finding the balls right away holding his pokemon. He pressed the Call Button, hoping to get at least SOME answers. He'd need to do some serious thinking though. He had made a lot of mistakes out there. He would need to be sure not to repeat them. Becoming stronger was probably a good idea for his pokemon, but perhaps he should branch out his team as well... He pressed the Call button a few more times, growing increasingly worried about the state of his pokemon. Novice Perception for location 8utzaGkq3d6

Once you get your bearings, you can easily surmise that you’re in some kind of hospital or Pokemon Center. It’s much too sterile and well-equipped to be anywhere else. You also notice that you definitely don’t have your things, and they’re nowhere to be found in the room. Your meager medical knowledge doesn’t give you any clue as to what’s in the IV bag, though.
After you press the call button, a nurse with blue hair comes in, a Pokedex like pad in her hand.
“Oh! You’re up! How do you feel on a scale of one to ten? My name is Nurse Xiao.” As she speaks, the shock of the encounter wears off, and all of the pain comes back to you. Your head is throbbing, there’s a searing pain in your chest, and a dull ache in your right ankle.

Alex sighs, his search for his belongings rather fruitless. As the nurse walks in, he begins to speak before all the pain comes rushing back at once. "Eig-AHHHH FOUR, FOUR! Ugh... Why'd it all come back now... Also, where are my things? Especially my pokemon. Is Kabby okay?" He looks worried, and he's more concerned about Kabby than his own pain right now. A headache would pass, he'd figure out the chest pain, and the ache was likely from being tripped and faceplanting. That would explain the headache too... Xiao, huh... Nice name. "He's my Kabuto... He was out when I passed out, but I don't know what happened after that." Kind of obvious, but probably should be said anyway.

”Four?” She raises her eyebrows. “My apologies, I neglected to mention that ten is the worst, and one is the best. Are you actually at an eight, then?” Nurse Xiao clarifies. She then moves to a cabinet, puts on some gloves then takes out a vial and syringe. “This should help with the pain.” She explains while filling up the syringe and emptying it into a valve connected to your IV. Nurse Xiao takes off the gloves and starts rummaging around in the cabinet while she answers your questions. “Your Pokemon along with your things are being kept at the nurses station. I can return them to you if you wish. Your Kabuto, however, is fine, but we can’t return him to you at this time in case he disrupts your treatment.”
Xiao takes out a small bottle, and after putting on another pair of gloves, she comes back to your side. She gently removes the blanket covering you, and you can see the pain in your chest must be coming from a large gash. Xiao then dips her fingers in the bottle, then rubs a blue cream on the area around the wound. “This’ll numb the area. Now, I’m going to disinfect it. It’ll sting a little bit. Then I’m going to show you how to dress it, alright? It should heal over soon, but until then you’re going to need to take care of it.” She explains. After changing her gloves once again, Nurse Xiao gets a thin bottle that looks like a smaller potion. She sprays it on your chest, and you do feel it sting a bit. “Alright, now sit up. How much do you know about dressing a wound?” Please make a medical edu check if you want to answer with anything other than “Nothing.”

Alex shook his head, grimacing. It hurt but it was more the shock of it that had been the worst. "Closer to a six and a half or seven now..." He watched her move to the drawers, nodding.
"Kabby can be a bit... inquisitive. I mean, I would be too if I suddenly existed in a world unlike anything I'd ever known. But I understand." So his things were at the nurse's station. He was suddenly glad his phone had a password. He'd need to send a thank you to the Liason. Maybe buy them lunch or something? How DID spies thank one another...
As she moved the blanket, he couldn't help but gape at the gash in his chest. It looked bad... Those Mankeys had done this? He shouldn't have underestimated them. He was angry, but it was mostly directed at himself for being such a fool. He should have known this would happen. A steely determination entered his eyes as he made up his mind. Next time, he would know. And he'd be ready.
He shook his head at her question, chuckling. "Nothing outside of fantasy novels, and they aren't the most reliable source of information. I do have some questions though. Am I going to miss classes? And who brought me in?" He should thank them as well... It suddenly occured to him that he had no idea if he was working alone here. Today had shown him that flying solo didn't always go well. He should make more friends. Greg sprung to mind. Maybe they could hang out later. As well as whoever assisted him today.

“You’ll miss a few classes, yes, but you should be ready to go after lunch. Two girls brought you in. They were named Vess and Trista, I think.” Xiao explains. After helping you sit up, she goes back to the cabinet, taking some gauze, medical tape and bandages out.
“Always put on gloves before doing this. First you’ll want to put some gauze over the wound. Press it close to you chest, then tape it down.” She instructs. “Then, wrap a bandage around it and tape that down. Understood?” She finishes.
“You’ll need to do that every six hours or so to keep the bandages fresh. Your injuries should heal over soon, but while they’re still fresh, try not to get yourself in any more wild battles, or fights involving a lot of trainer combat.” Xiao explains. She then removes her gloves and throws them in the trash.
“Do you need anything else?”

Alex sighed, taking note of the names and the instructions. It seemed simple enough... "I'll have to thank them later... i could use my stuff back?" He suggested, hoping to have something to keep him occupied until they let him go.

“Oh of course!” Xiao scurries off, returning with your bag and belt of Pokeballs. She arranges the things on your lap so you can easily reach them without straining.
“Do you need anything else?”

Alex shook his head. "Can I let Kabby out? I'm sure he's worried... beyond that I should be okay. I'll just play on my phone and study my dex a bit."

“I think you misunderstand me. We can’t recall a Pokemon if it’s trainer isn’t there. There are certain people a Pokemon might trust enough to allow itself to be recalled, but that normally doesn’t include us here at the Pokemon center. As I said earlier, your Kabuto is currently at the nurses’ station. We would keep him with you, but his attempts to help you were interfering with your treatment.” She explains. “We’ll be checking in on you every hour or so, but if you need anything, don’t hesitate to press the call button!” And with that, she leaves. If you want to do anything special, let me know in your next post, but otherwise, just give me a brief overview of what Alex is doing and we’ll timeskip to the next hour!

Alex nodded. Man that was one affectionate fossil. He'd have to reward Kabby later for being so concerned. For now, he simply shot off a quick text to the liason and browsed the app store on his pokedex.
The text read as such: "I appreciate the rescue party. I take it the two you sent for me are my allies? If so, I owe them a thank you... how does one say thanks in our line of work?"

You receive a prompt reply.
Oddly enough, you get another reply.

Alex nodded, storing that info away for later. So the Liason wasn't working alone... interesting. For the next hour, he worked on getting familiar with his pokedex, and installing a few games.

The hour passes quickly as Alex plays around with his Pokedex. The hospital is quiet, but every once in a while you hear the soft footsteps of a nurse walking by or hushed conversation.
As the minutes tick by, Xiao comes back, this time with a Chansey. The Chansey makes quick work of checking your vitals and IV, directing Xiao to certain things that might require her attention. Xiao gives a final look over Chansey’s work, and seems satisfied.
“How are you feeling now, Alex? Are you hungry or thirsty? Would you like to watch TV?” She asks.

Alex had installed a few games, including an idle drilling game that looked fun. He gave the Chansey a quick scan with his pokedex as it walked in, nodding. He did as directed during the exam, nodding as he was asked the questions. "I'm a little thirsty actually. And something like Nat Geo or Discovery would be nice!" He was itching to leave, but protocol was protocol. They couldn't let him leave quite yet. But... "Actually... Can I explore a bit? I'm getting a little stir crazy."

“Certainly.” She replies, going to walk out of the door as she does, but she stops as you ask about getting up. “ You shouldn’t be putting your weight down on that ankle quite yet, but I think my colleague should be able to put an air-cast on it and help you walk around. She’ll be in in a minute.” Xiao leaves, the Chancey following her. In a few minutes, a woman a few inches shorter than you walks in carrying a paper cup full of water and an odd white and green...thing. She has short brown hair and brown eyes to match, and she’s wearing the same uniform as Xiao. She hands you the paper cup of water, and you can see that she’s a bit worried. “Hi-i. My name is Am- I mean, Nurse Powell! I’ll help you walk around. I just need to put this air-cast on your ankle.” She kneels down and uncovers your legs. You notice your ankle is already bandaged, but Nurse Powell is putting a thing over the bandage that looks like it’s two pockets of air contained within soft, green plastic bags with a hard white shell on the outside, connected to each other with strips of stretchy velcro. She then stands up and walks to the other side of your bed and takes off the cuff on your arm and middle finger, then walks back to the other side. “Okay! I’ll help you up now! Where did you want to walk to?”

Alex couldn't help but feel sorry for the new nurse as he downed his water. She must be new, it would explain the nnervouness. Aside from that, Alex did note she was pretty... and seemed rather young. Perhaps it was her first time working as a nurse. In any case, he had something to take care of.
"I heard my Kabuto is up at the Nurse's station. I was hoping to show him I'm alright and return him to his ball. I'm sure he's been a handful in my absence."

“Oh um, that’d be helpful, yes.” She replies, looking a bit embarrassed. Nurse Powell gets a crutch from over by the drawer, then after helping you up, she hands you a crutch, allowing you to walk without putting weight on your ankle. She walks next to you, ready to support you if needed, and pushes your IV stand as you two walk. She leads you to a long, continuous, circular, desk with a few nurses sitting around it talking. Kabby is skittering over the top of the desk while the nurses cast glances over at him occasionally. When he spots you, Kabby lifts a claw to wave at you.
