Kommo-o!

"Audino~~"

Audino carefully set Xia Yan down on the ground, then gently massaged his temples.

It had to be said.

There was a reason why the Joy Family of the Unova Region had replaced the Chansey they were accustomed to using with Audino as the nurse Pokémon in Pokémon Centers.

Compared with Chansey, Audino was actually better suited for medical work.

Its feelers were like a doctor's stethoscope, allowing it to clearly hear a Pokémon's heartbeat and even the faintest movements, as though using radar. Audino could also use its antennae to sense another's emotions, making it more convenient for it to care for injured Pokémon.

It could even use this special ability to determine when a Pokémon Egg would hatch.

It was likewise excellent at caring for Pokémon Eggs and young Pokémon.

Everyone knew that Chansey were extremely rare in the wild.

On one hand, it was because Chansey were controlled by the Joy Family and rarely seen outside their care.

On the other hand, every Chansey, whether Happiny before evolution or Blissey after evolving, was a female Pokémon.

Therefore, Chansey did not reproduce through ordinary mating. They needed to hold a special item called Luck Incense in order to produce offspring.

Most people in the Pokémon World probably did not know this.

It was also one of the main reasons the Joy Family could maintain such a firm grasp over this species.

It was much simpler than the Junsa Clan's control over Growlithe.

But accordingly.

Luck Incense was not a common item either. Its materials were relatively scarce, and it was difficult to make. Since the Joy Family had quite a few members, as the Pokémon League gradually expanded its territory, their Chansey supply began falling short of demand. That was why they chose Audino as a replacement.
