Lucas meticulously transcribed all the Traditional Medicine recipes from his notebook into his Grandma's notebook.
Their effects became even more apparent to Lucas.
[Breeding House · Cold Traditional Medicine: A Traditional Medicine concocted by Gothorita when Lucas was ill. It is exceptionally effective in treating fever. If stronger Traditional Medicine herbs from the Breeding House are used, the effect can be further enhanced, and only a small amount is needed.]
Lucas read the description, noting "only a small amount is needed."
Recalling that day, Gothorita had thrown Traditional Medicine herbs in as if they were free. Was that amount meant for Lugia?!
Lucas looked at Gothorita, who guiltily turned its head away, avoiding Lucas's gaze.
[Breeding House · Stomach Illness Traditional Medicine: A Traditional Medicine concocted by Lucas based on book records. It is very effective in treating stomach illnesses, but requires long-term use.]
[Breeding House · Nourishing Traditional Medicine: A Traditional Medicine concocted by Lucas based on book records. It can nourish the body, making those with weaker constitutions stronger. It is particularly beneficial for the elderly and women, and also requires long-term use.]

[Kind Reminder, Grandma, all medicine has side effects.]
After carefully reading the descriptions, Lucas felt completely confident.
Without detailed descriptions, Lucas would have been unsure, but now that there was such comprehensive information, it meant the Traditional Medicine could be sold.
He glanced at the notebook and the Traditional Medicine he had recorded, then personally taught Gengar, Lilligant, Mime Jr., and Gothorita how to prepare them.
Gothorita, surprisingly, was very interested in this task.
Busy until noon, Lucas handed the notebook, which could be called Lucas's Traditional Medicine book, to Gengar and told him to put it away.
Gengar took the book, intending to place it next to Grandma's recipe and item list, but when he saw Gothorita's gaze, he grinned.
He handed it to Gothorita.
"gengar sound."
"You put it away."
Gothorita happily took the notebook, then carefully placed it next to the recipe and item list, gently wiping the covers of the three books with its hand.
Seeing this, Lucas couldn't help but smile.
"As expected of the Breeding House's big brother."
After eating lunch together, Lucas returned to the lounge area, lay down, and continued reading books about Traditional Medicine.
Today, Shauna didn't run off to the backyard to play after lunch. Instead, she followed Lucas, lay on a chair beside him, and yawned.
Lucas read his book while telling her stories.
Before long, a few snores came from beside him.
Lucas looked over. Gengar and Bibarel were sound asleep, drooling.
Gently covering Shauna with a small blanket, Lucas closed his book and gave Lilligant a look that said, "I'm leaving it to you."
With Lilligant's nod of acknowledgment, he also closed his eyes.
He slowly drifted off to sleep.
In a daze, Lucas heard his phone ringing.
"Laji?"
There was also Lilligant's questioning voice.
Lilligant looked at Miss Joy on the screen and asked a question in confusion.
She heard Lucas's phone ringing, and Lucas was still asleep. Fearing the phone's ringtone would disturb Lucas, she quickly ran over and answered the call.
"Is this Sister Lilligant? Huh? Not there?"
Miss Joy on the screen looked a little anxious.
Lilligant saw Miss Joy's anxious expression and prepared to wake Lucas.
The next second, a hand reached out and took the phone.
"What's wrong, Sister Linnea?"
"Lucas, we have a Bibarel here that suddenly developed a high fever. I wanted to ask if you have any way to help lower its fever? The Traditional Medicine you sent last time seemed to have some effect."
Lucas had been listening in a daze, but upon hearing the latter part, he instantly sobered up.
"Then I'll come over to your place now."
Lucas said, preparing to get up.
"No, no, no, don't come over here for now. How about this, I'll bring a few people and the Bibarel over to your place to find you."
Lucas nodded, and the other side immediately hung up the phone.
Lucas found Gothorita and asked it to brew some cold Traditional Medicine.
Soon, the sound of a vehicle came from outside.
Miss Joy, with Blissey, carried down a Bibarel, whose condition was visibly poor.
Lucas quickly stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Bibarel's head.
"So hot?"
Lucas frowned.
Miss Joy nodded, looking at Bibarel worriedly.
Bibarel was already delirious from the fever, constantly whimpering and trying to stand up and walk forward.
"Gothorita, increase the dosage."
A small amount would suffice for a normal cold and fever, but Bibarel's condition was clearly not a normal fever.
It had exceeded normal, so he directly added more medicine.
"Gothorita."
Gothorita's voice came from the kitchen.
Miss Joy held the Bibarel the whole time, gently comforting it.
Miss Joy, wearing a mask, had red eyes.
Lucas watched Miss Joy for a moment, then suddenly reached out and touched her forehead.
"Hiss—"
Lucas recoiled, taking a sharp breath.
"Sister, you have a fever too!"
Gengar heard this and immediately flew towards the kitchen, telling Gothorita inside.
Joy's eyes were a little unfocused, and she coughed twice.
"You take Shauna back to the room."
Miss Joy said.
Bibarel nodded, then carefully picked up the sleeping Shauna and walked upstairs.
Soon, Gothorita came out with two bowls of cold Traditional Medicine, and Gengar also brought several bowls.
Lucas took Bibarel in his arms and, despite Miss Joy's attempt to stop him, said:
"It's okay, this Traditional Medicine I just concocted today is very effective for fever. You and Blissey should have a bowl too."
Then he took the bowl from Gothorita's hand, got a spoon, and with Gothorita's help, slowly fed the Traditional Medicine to Bibarel.
Miss Joy took the cold Traditional Medicine handed to her by Gengar, blew on it, then frowned and drank it down.
After finishing her drink, Blissey took the Traditional Medicine and went out to let the driver also have a bowl.
After drinking the cold Traditional Medicine, Joy felt a little dizzy.
Lucas reached out and touched her forehead; the fever had subsided.
Bibarel in his arms also became calm and fell into a deep sleep.
He took the thermometer handed to him by Gengar and measured everyone's temperature one by one.
Lucas let out a sigh.
"The fever has already gone down."
Miss Joy, struggling to keep her spirits up, took Bibarel into her arms.
"That's really great, Lucas, we owe you a lot this time."
"What happened?"
Lucas asked, a little confused.
Miss Joy looked at Lucas. Although she was wearing a mask, Lucas could still see that Miss Joy was smiling.
Because Miss Joy's eyes curved downwards.
"It's nothing, it might be deep autumn recently, and there are more people and Pokémon with colds and fevers. The Pokémon Center's medicine isn't enough, but we've already reported it to higher-ups, and medicine will be delivered soon."
Hearing this, Lucas finally relaxed.
"Don't worry, it's nothing."
"Happy~"
Miss Joy comforted Lucas.
Lucas nodded and escorted Miss Joy to the door.
As Miss Joy got into the car, she suddenly heard Lucas's voice.
"Sister Linnea, if anything happens, you must tell me immediately. After all, we are family."
Miss Joy was stunned for a moment, then finally gave a gentle smile.
"Okay."
