The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded. As the Wattrel drank the Life Sheep Milk, its wounds began to heal and recover at a visibly rapid pace.
While everyone was in shock, this Wattrel, who was severely injured and near death, slowly opened its eyes and flapped its wings, flying up from the stretcher.
In that state, it seemed completely uninjured.
Seeing this, the Trainer, overwhelmed with emotion, hugged the Wattrel tightly, crying, "Wonderful... Thank goodness, Wattrel!"
Miss Joy stared blankly at the scene before her, incredulous. "What on earth happened?"
From her professional experience, Wattrel's injuries were unlikely to recover so quickly, and it might even have sustained irreversible damage.
But now... suddenly it recovered?
Zack and the inspector were both utterly shocked.
"Such terrifying healing power!"
Miss Joy turned her head towards Zack, whom she knew as the guy who drove a delivery truck to Porto Marinada Market: "Mr. Zack, what was that just now?"
Zack, still recovering from the shock, replied, "That... was Life Sheep Milk!"
"Life Sheep Milk?" Miss Joy was slightly taken aback.
Zack: "It can instantly restore the stamina of a near-death Pokemon, healing all its injuries. There's no name more fitting than Life Sheep Milk."
The inspector next to them nodded in awe, "Yes! Life Sheep Milk... milk that can bring new life to severely injured Pokemon!"
The Trainer had also calmed down a bit by then and immediately thanked Zack, "Thank you, sir!"
Zack, coming back to himself, shook his head and said to the young man in front of him:
"No need to thank me. If you want to express gratitude, go to Naoki Ranch and thank the owner there!"
Miss Joy paused for a moment, Naoki Ranch? How is this related to Mr. Naoki?
The young man, having never heard of the name, also showed a puzzled expression, "Naoki Ranch?"
Zack nodded: "Because the milk the Wattrel just drank was produced by the Gogoat that Naoki raised using a secret method."
"I see!" Miss Joy recalled the three Gogoat happily running on the Grassy Terrain.
"Mr. Naoki?" the young man stammered, then nodded earnestly, "I'll remember!"
To verify the milk's effect, Zack further requested Miss Joy, "Miss Joy, could you please perform a body check on this Wattrel?"
"No problem!" Miss Joy smiled, pressing her lips together.
She took the Wattrel to the examination room, and in no time, returned to the lobby.
Facing the worried Trainer and hopeful Zack about Wattrel's potential untreated injuries, Miss Joy softly said,
"Don't worry, Wattrel's body has fully recovered, and even its old battle injuries have been completely healed. The effect of the Life Sheep Milk is excellent!"
Not surprising for Mr. Naoki! The Gogoat he bred is truly extraordinary! Miss Joy thought admiringly.
Even the chief holds Mr. Naoki in high regard and personally invited him to join the Pokemon League!
Though it's unknown why Mr. Naoki declined... However, for someone like Mr. Naoki, who even managed to capture The King of Bountiful Harvests, perhaps he doesn't care about the Paldea League's salary?
Truly impressive! Miss Joy mused.
Hearing this, Zack inwardly said to himself, indeed, he thanked Miss Joy and then hurriedly departed.
After confirming the quality and effects of the milk, the only thing left was the pricing issue.
But what troubled them was that they had never encountered such milk before and didn't know what would be a suitable price.
Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Forty thousand? Or fifty thousand?
