A misunderstanding

You wake up feeling groggy, but there’s an important task at the top of your to-do list today, so you push through the fog and sit up straight. Yesterday was really tiring, physically and emotionally. To your surprise, though, Nurse Joy is sitting right in front of you. Oh, that’ll make this easy!

You stretch and yawn before saying, “Hey, Nurse Joy, I have a question.”

“Yes, what is it, Emilia?” she asks, smiling with an unusually wide grin.

“I, uh… I unhaunted the Gym, so everyone can go back there. Do I have to tell someone, or can you tell them, or…?”

She seems caught off-guard for a change. “The Gym? Emilia dear, I’m afraid you weren’t anywhere near the Gym last night. You’re referring to that dusty old mansion that’s falling apart, yes?”

“Yeah, that’s the one. What do you mean it wasn’t the Gym? There was a sign right outside that said it was the Cinnabar Island Gym!”

A light bulb goes off in Nurse Joy’s head. “Ah! I think I see the misunderstanding. That mansion was the Gym some years ago. Unfortunately, it was damaged in a volcanic eruption. A research lab, quite some distance from the volcano, was made the new Gym. For once, it seems that your haphazard failure to reach your destination may not have been completely your fault! Well done, Emilia!”

The condescending nurse begins clapping, but you just stare back with your jaw wide open. “That wasn’t even the Gym? You mean I exorcised that ghost… for nothing?”

“Well, I wouldn’t say it was for nothing. You had fun, right? After all, it isn’t just semen dried between your legs, but your own fluids as well!” Joy winks.

You look down and confirm a mess of fluids dried onto your body, plenty of which is your own. But, more importantly, you’re naked! In the lobby of the Pokemon Center! “Wait… But… I wasn’t even naked when I got on the stretcher! This isn’t fair!”

Nurse Joy, as well as a few guests who watched the whole thing, laugh their hearts out as you run upstairs butt-naked.

A shower is obviously in order, and afterwards, you need to decide what to wear. Your tank top and skirt are being washed at the moment, so you decide on your cowgirl outfit. Flannel and daisy dukes! If this place is as empty as a small country town, you may as well dress the part. You slide an arm through the sleeve of your flannel shirt, deprived of all but a single button, and-

“Emilia! Might I interest you in some lunch?” The voice coming from outside your door is unmistakably Nurse Joy’s.

“L-Lunch?” you call back. “Don’t you mean breakfast?”

“This is what you get for going out ghosthunting until the dead of night,” Joy teases with a giggle.

“Okay, I’ll be right down!” You swiftly finish getting dressed and head downstairs to enjoy some of Nurse Joy’s cooking. You’re not forgetting anything, are you…?
