🎥: a video
"You ready little guy?"
[An excited *Rotototo* can be heard]
"Alright, good. Hey, I know you couldn't stick around for the examination so I'm filming this to show you later. Hope that midterm went well for you, by the way,"
[They are leaned over an examination table. There's a soft looking patterned blanket thrown over the flat surface and a rather confused looking Pidove sitting between their arms.]
"It's good you brought this little guy in when you did. He's got a broken blood feather. Now, I know that sounds scary, but feathered pokemon get these all the time during molts. Sometimes they break and bleed, but it's perfectly treatable and doesn't need any sort of long-term medical aid to take care of. I can actually just...could you hand me those...? Yeah those. Thanks."
[A rather worried looking Audino slowly shuffles in from off frame. She hands what looks like some sort of small pliers to Axyl and takes a step back. They set them to one side and wrap the confused looking Pidove in the blanket, leaving only one wing protruding.]
"Now I don't want you doing this by yourself at your age, but I'm going to demonstrate how to remove a broken blood feather so you know exactly what they'll be doing at a Pokemon Center if this happens again."
[They lay the bird pokemon down and spread the wing out. There's an obvious red patch on the light grey underside of the wing. The Audino pushes a stepping stool over to the opposite side of the table and stands on it, carefully holding the wing in place.]
"Unfortunately this is going to hurt just a bit, but if you've ever had to get a shot it's like that. Quick and easy. What you do is...grab it real close to the skin right around...yeah there's good...and pull it in the direction it's growing from. Don't try to-"
[There's the sound of distressed cooing.]
"Shh, shh, hey! It's alright! You're doing good! It'll just be one second and it's all done, ok? Ehm, yeah like I was saying. Don't try to twist it out or yank it out. Just go steady...firm..."
[There's more distressed cooing accompanied by the Audino gently soothing the Pidove. Suddenly, there's one high pitched squeak and Axyl stands up straight again, a red feather held between the pliers. They press down on the red patch and seem to be counting to themselves quietly. After a minute or two, they slowly lift up their hand and smile.]
"Aaand there we go! All done! Good job, buddy! You did so good! Yes you did!"
[They set the tool aside to scoop up the blanket-wraped Pidove, petting it's head and speaking quietly to it for a moment. The bird pokemon seems to still be a bit distressed, but starts to calm more while being pet.]
"So...yeah. That's how we handle blood feathers. I'll be monitoring him until you get back. Thankfully it doesn't seem like he lost too much blood since he's so alert, but broken blood feathers are very bad for small bird pokemon like this since bleeding too much can be very dangerous to them. His feather was pretty easy to get out, but if he gets one again or it breaks under the skin, get him to a Pokemon Center immediately. I'd also let him relax a bit before you take him out to battle or anything like that. You need some time to get spoiled after all that, don't you buddy?"
[The Pidove coos and shuffles a bit to make itself more comfortable.]
"Yeah, let's get you set up in the quiet room so you can chill. I'll bring you some snacks and more blankets too. Your trainer's gonna be so proud of you for being good, yes she is!"
[They start to step around the table, still speaking affectionately toward the Pidove, and make a "cut" gesture with their hand.]
[The video ends]
