Chapter 67 Psychological Problems
After rescuing the leader of the line soldiers, Joey did not rest for even a moment. He quickly took the medical kit from Jigglypuff, patted the bandage that was covered with dust from lifting the tree trunk, and skillfully diagnosed and treated the leader of the line soldiers.

A few moments.

Jigglypuff wiped the sweat off Joey's forehead, and Joey stood up as if relieved. He kindly told the soldiers in formation, "Fortunately, it's just some superficial injuries. If it's any later, it will compress the internal organs and it will be difficult to deal with. It should wake up in a while, so remember it then."

After informing the soldiers in formation of all the precautions, Joey left with Jigglypuff in a leisurely manner under their grateful gazes.

Seeing the soldiers in formation carefully raising their heads and walking in unison towards the nest not far away, Luo Mu smiled. As expected, Miss Joy and Chansey would basically not encounter attacks from wild Pokémon in the wild because of their good reputation accumulated over the years.

"We'll be able to see the town soon, and the straps can be removed."

Thinking so in her mind, Joey skillfully removed the bandages wrapped around her hands and arms. After the bandages were removed, there was no scar on her fair skin. She only wrapped the bandages to make it easier to move in the wild.

"Miss Joy!"

Joey, who was planning to chat with Jigglypuff, suddenly heard a voice calling from behind. He turned around and saw a young boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Is he a trainer?
Joey blinked. Perhaps the Pokémon was injured, so Joey and Chansey, who were very experienced in this situation, stopped immediately.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

With a perfectly friendly smile on his face, Joey looked at Luo Mu.

Luo Mu didn't keep the suspense and said some nonsense, "I have a wounded Pokémon and I want to ask Miss Joy to take a look at it."

As expected, the trainer had been training in the wild for a long time, so the Pokémon was injured.

Joey's eyes flashed with understanding, and he smiled and said, "No problem, we will arrive at Flattery Town soon. Please follow me to the Pokémon Center for a detailed examination."

Luo Mu nodded slightly and followed Miss Joy and Jigglypuff.

It took about fifteen minutes to enter the town from the wild and then reach the Pokémon Center.

During this time, Luo Mu did not just walk with his head down, but told Joey everything that happened when he met the messenger bird and the current situation of the messenger bird.

Joey used the key to open the door of the Pokémon Center, and Chansey pressed the button with ease, and the dark Pokémon Center instantly became bright.

Joey took Luo Mu to a neat medical room and said, "In short, I have a general understanding of the messenger bird's condition, but I still need to give it a physical examination to give an answer and treatment plan."

Luo Mu nodded, and at Joey's signal, he took out a red and white Poké Ball and released the messenger bird on the only small bed in the medical room.

"oops!"

As soon as the messenger bird appeared, even though Luo Mu had already told her about the condition of the messenger bird, its feathers had all fallen off, leaving a bald patch on its body, which still made Joey cover her mouth and exclaim involuntarily when she saw its appearance.

The messenger bird looked around at the unfamiliar environment with a somewhat timid expression. It was only because of Luo Mu's presence that the messenger bird barely suppressed its urge to escape.

"A messenger bird with such a big tail shouldn't be so timid. This is the first time I've seen such a big tail. It's big enough to be the leader of the messenger bird tribe." Joey observed the movements of the messenger bird, frowned and pondered for a moment, then said to Jigglypuff beside him, "Please prepare the medical examination equipment and start the medical system."

"lucky~"

Jigglypuff smiled and nodded, then immediately started working in the medical room.

Joey looked at Luo Mu and said politely, "For the next physical examination, please wait outside the door for a while, Mr. Luo Mu."

Luo Mu nodded slightly, came to the messenger bird to calm its emotions, then turned and left the medical room.

Miss Joy's physical examination lasted about ten minutes. As the green light on the door frame of the medical room went out, Miss Joy, wearing a mask, walked out with a serious expression.

Seeing Miss Joy's solemn expression, Luo Mu's expression also became serious.

Joey took off his mask, closed the door of the medical room, leaving only Jigglypuff and the messenger bird inside, and said to Luo Mu in a deep voice: "Was it struck by lightning in the dark clouds three nights ago?"

Luo Mu nodded to confirm: "That's right."

"Is that so?" Joey frowned and thought for a while, then said, "There is nothing wrong with your treatment measures. I did not find any hidden injuries or other hidden dangers in the messenger bird."

"The lightning didn't damage the roots of the Messenger Bird's feathers. Although most of the feathers fell off, according to the physical condition of Pokémon, the feathers will grow back in half a month at most."

Luo Mu was not surprised by the results of the first half. Although it was the first time he met Miss Joy from Pingdie Town, he also learned the treatment knowledge from Joy in several other towns in Padia, so it was easy for him to deal with these injuries.

Joey paused and said seriously, "I think there are two reasons why the messenger bird can't fly. One is that it lacks feathers and can't maintain its balance. This is easy to solve."

"The second question is a bit more difficult. After psychological testing, I diagnosed that the messenger bird has a fear of the sky and thunder and lightning, which is what is called psychological trauma."

Luo Mu frowned and fell into deep thought. Although he also vaguely realized that the messenger bird's disease might be psychological, after getting professional certification from the medical authority Miss Joy, he still found it a bit tricky.

In this world of Pokémon, most injuries can be solved through the magical power of Pokémon itself or through technology. On the contrary, problems such as psychological trauma are very difficult to treat.

Luo Mu remembered that in the animation in his memory, after Xiaozhi's forest lizard evolved into the lizard queen, it was unable to use its moves due to psychological problems.

In order to resolve the Lizard King's knot, Xiaozhi and his friends put in a lot of effort.

Seeing Luo Mu's serious expression, Miss Joy, who knew that Luo Mu was treating wild Pokémon, comforted him, "In this case, only someone the Messenger Bird can trust can guide it. I have a few books on Pokémon psychology here. You can borrow them temporarily and try to untie the knot in the Messenger Bird's heart with the methods above."

Luo Mu nodded slightly. This was all he could do now.

Asking him to release such a messenger bird back into the wild would undoubtedly be asking for its life. Not to mention whether Luo Mu could get over it mentally, even if he considered the feelings of the Roentgen cat that rescued the messenger bird, Luo Mu would not do such a thing.

"Then please trouble Miss Joy to lend me the book temporarily."
