Seeing N lying in a pool of blood in the landscaped strip, Mingyou felt panic and anger surge through him. He didn't dare move N right away, afraid of making his injuries worse.
Ogerpon, Meloetta, and the other Pokémon who knew N covered their mouths, staring at the scene in disbelief.
"What the hell happened?"
Mingyou fought down his anger and looked around for whoever had done this. He also struggled with whether to call an ambulance. If he did, N would be arrested again.
Akari patted his shoulder, urging him to calm down. She kept watch for passersby and the International Police monitoring Mingyou, then crouched to examine N's injuries...
"Don't worry. He's only unconscious from blood loss. The main wound is on his back, and there are signs of poisoning... It looks like a Beedrill's Poison Jab. It missed his vitals. Whoever attacked him may only have wanted to stop him from moving."
As she spoke, Akari released Sneasler, who knew medical care, from a Strange Ball. Mingyou was still dazed by her precise assessment, but he soon snapped out of it and took medicine, gauze, and dried fruit from his bag for Sneasler to use.
Before long, Sneasler had bandaged N's wound. When he would wake was anyone's guess. Ogerpon put on the Wellspring Mask and washed away every trace of blood at the scene.
Akari stood and surveyed the area. "Let's get him out of here first. It looks like he collapsed in the landscaped strip after running out of strength while escaping. From what you told me yesterday, Team Plasma is probably after him."
"Those bastards are the worst..."
Mingyou cursed. Fighting the Team Plasma members pursuing N could wait; getting N back for treatment mattered more. They couldn't stay here.
