[Karl Christopher]

If it one thing that had plagued Karl Christopher in his youth it was allergies, he was allergic to literally everything that grows luckily he dodged most food based allergies including fatal ones so his diet was never a problem but when it came to stuff that grows like grass and plants, or other things like pokemon and animal dander, Karl turned into a suffering mess, his head becomes stuffed up with sinus pressure caused headache, his sneezing turned into a self made pokemon attack called Sneeze Cannon which Karl claims has the power of a hurricane but has a ton of recoil damage and makes his head hurt worse and if he gets too stuff up his throat and lungs starts acting up with reaction and was never fun to deal with. Fortunately the infirmary was equipped with both relief medicine and prevention medicine and there was a kindly nurse that helped with that and many other problems. 

Karl was on his way to the infirmary, he had gotten his head into something he shouldn't and now his allergies were kicking in, and he forgot to get his medicine filled.

"AHCHOO!" Karl sneezed hard into a tissue just as he made it to the door. He groaned as his head felt like pinballs were bouncing around in it causing damage. "oh I hate that hedgehog." He grumbled using a quote from an classic sonic cartoon.  

[Althea Castellanos]

As usual, Gray Haven Infirmary was being quite busy today. Althea had managed to perform a numerous amount of physical check ups and other basic medical routines. She had even treated a Seviper bite that a careless student received after attempting to wrestle with the poisonous snake Pokemon. Now, she had to take a quick visit by the nursery station to check up on some of the Pokemon Eggs being cared for by the academy. "How's everything going in here?" She asked her sweet voice as she walked towards her two helpers, her Milktank and Kangaskhan. The two normal types were pretty much experts at taking care of Pokemon Eggs and newborn Pokemon. Mila and Kanga nodded their head at their trainer, letting her know that everything was going pretty well in the nursery right now. "Alright. Every thing looks good in here. I'll be back to check on things later." She added before waving goodbye and exiting the nursery.

She glanced down at her clipboard and noticed that she had a new appointment with another patient coming up in a few minutes. She made her way through busy hallways and headed towards the waiting room. She entered the waiting room and her brilliant azure eyes quickly scanned over the small crowd of patients seeking medical help. She bite down on her bottom lip before reading over the name of her patient again. "Mr. Chistopher." She called out in an angelic voice. "Please follow behind me. It's time for your appointment." She smiled before turning away and leading the older guy into the back room. Her womanly curves being showcased through her small and tight nursing uniform as her body and flowing pink hair swaying from side to side with each step taken by her. One entering the room, she would step aside and allow Karl to walk passed her. "Just take a seat on the bed and we can get this started right away." She smiled, giving him a small bow.

[Karl Christopher]

"Good." Karl groaned as he passed the younger nurse "I hate to take up any more of your time then I need to." He sat on the bed then briefly looked the nurse attending to him over and smirked slightly as she was just radiating physical beauty. "Hello Queen of Diamonds, you find your king yet?" He thought to himself

Karl may have been in mid 20s but he was still affected by a woman's hypnotic curves especially a woman like Althea however his head made itself known because raising his blood pressure because of looking at a beautiful woman compounded the headache he had and he looked down as he closed his eyes and held his head "uh..." He groaned "let me just give you the base play. I'm allergic to everything that grows and I got into something I shouldn't have and my sinus is now decking me harder then any pit boss who caught someone counting cards has. Not that I have experience in getting decked but you get the idea right."

[Althea Castellanos]

Thea smiled and shook her head. "Oh no. You do not have to worry about taking up too much of time. The Infirmary is pretty much my life. I don't have anything else to do, but to see other patients. And I'm not expected to have another appointment until another hour or so." She replied in her soft tone.

Once inside of their private room, Thea would stand directly in front of Karl as he explained exactly what was going on with his body right now. She nodded her head and jolted down a couple of notes into her writing pad. She was a little confused about the parts related to playing cards, but everything else seemed pretty clear to her. "Alright then. I believe that I may have a solution for you." She smiled at him before turning her attention away from him and turning it towards her assistant. "Florence, please go fetch a bowl of hot water for me." She ordered the Audino. Florence nodded her head at her trainer's orders before making her exit. "Since you're allergic to a lot of things then I figured that we would focus on using a more natural method instead of using medication that may trigger your symptoms even more. Hopefully, everything will work out as planned." She smiled turning her attention towards the older male. "Other than dealing with your allergies, how have you been? Teaching going pretty well for you?" She asked in a curious manner. She figured that she would make small talk with him until Florence returned with hot bowl of water. 

[Karl Christopher]

Karl hummed "Yes, I would say teaching going alright however there is another battle tactics teacher this year and there was a conflict in our teaching schedules that caused less students to come to the first session of Tactics 101. I only hope that the next session I run doesn't conflict with other courses and more students come out to my class but I've come up with an idea to offer practice battles and training any willing students as I've decided to start training pokemon I've caught here recently."

[Althea Castellanos]

Thea nodded her head and smiled as she listened closely to Karl's words. "Oh, that is a little unfortunately for you. I'm sure that things will work out a little better the next time. Besides, having two or more teachers would be a huge treat for the students. Especially, if you all have different methods of teaching." She replied with a soft smile. "Practice battle with students, huh? That is definitely a new method of teaching." She added with another smile. "Speaking of Pokemon battles... I haven't had one in a while myself. I've captured a few new Pokemon and those new Pokemon could use a little bit of training, too. Maybe, if you ever decide to engage in practice a battle against other staff members then perhaps the two of us could participate in a friendly battle." She suggested with a small shrug. Although she often took part in any Pokemon battles, Thea still knew the importance of keeping her Pokemon in tip top form. She currently has quite a few base level Pokemon that would be able to benefit from a practice battle in hopes of gaining experience, learning new moves and leveling up. 

A couple of more minutes passed and Florence finally returned with a steaming bowl of hot water being carried in on cart. "Ah yes, thank you Florence." Thea smiled grabbing the cart and pulling it closer towards Karl. She would then take a clean towel and drape it over his shoulders. "Okay, here's the deal. We're going to use the steam from this hot water to relief you from some of that nasal congestion and also help ease your breathing. I'm going to need for you to sit over the bowl of hot water and place the towel over your head to trap the steam. While you're breathing in the steam I'm going to have one of my assistants to use Aromatherapy." She explained with a small smile before releasing her Meganium from her Poke Ball. The massive green dinosaur like Pokemon flashed Karl a soft smile of  her own before releasing a sweet and soothing scent from her beautiful flower. The fresh steam and soothing scent of the Meganium's flower should be more than enough to relief Karl from his allergies. 

[Karl Christopher]

Karl did what he was told and held his head over the steam bowl with the towel draped over his head. he tried to calmly breathe through his nose to inhale the steam and aromatherapy. He sighed as he relaxed "Memo to self consider looking for a pokemon with the ability to use Aromatherapy." He muttered

[Althea Castellanos]

Thea smiled as she started to notice her patient starting to relax a bit. "That's it, just keep relaxing and everything soon go back to being normal pretty soon." She spoke in her warm and caring voice. She continued to stand father close towards Karl and her Pokemon. The Meganium continuing to use her talents to release a little more of the soothing scent. "Ah yes, it maybe beneficial to capture a Pokemon with Aromatherapy. However, it's not completely necessary. I have been working on creating a more nature nasal spray with the scent of my Pokemon's Aromatherapy and a few more natural ingredients. Unfortunately, I'm not completely done testing the effectiveness of it just yet." She explained with a light smile. "Within the next two weeks I should know for sure if the nasal spray will be good enough to use for treatment." She added with another smile. "Anyway, how's the breathing going for you now?" She asked with a warm smile. 

[Karl Christopher]

"mmm..." Karl hummed as he breathed and he used a tissue to clear away any running moisture that was coming from his noses "sinuses are starting to relax and clear headache is slowly going away, and I can breathe normally." He hummed "and if you need a test patient for that nasal spray I'll be more then happy to test it out but I most likely should mention that I do have other medication that I take and I just forgot to get the medicine filled recently."
