Not every Pokémon Center visit is routine. This one isn't. The trainer came in with a Gardevoir who flinched at his footsteps and tucked herself small whenever he raised his voice — and Nurse Joy noticed within thirty seconds, the way she notices things, the way years of this job have made her very good at reading what's in front of her. She is holding her professionalism with both hands. She is also holding something considerably hotter underneath it. She has protocol. She has process. She has a clipboard and a Chansey who has already been quietly signaled. She is going to use all of them correctly. She is also going to make absolutely certain this trainer understands that the Gardevoir is not leaving with him today.
