Zhang Heng blushed after hearing Dr. Chen Chunjiang's words. He realized he'd been so caught up in the fun that he'd forgotten the real purpose of his visit. After all, he hadn't brought so much medical equipment and medicine just to enjoy the scenery!

But thinking back, the touch of the cool skin of the Aquascaping Fish was truly unforgettable. This was the first time he had personally felt the warmth brought by a Pokémon since coming into this world!

In the original world, he could only control these little guys through the game console, but could not truly feel their warmth and emotions; but now that he is here, he can touch this warmth so vividly, making him completely immersed in it and intoxicated.

At this moment, he realized that the interaction with Pokémon was not limited to the virtual screen, but could be so real and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Zhang Heng stood up, turned around, and retrieved his heavy backpack from the camp. He gently unzipped it, revealing a variety of medical equipment and tools. Zhang Heng expertly began fiddling with the equipment, fully preparing for the upcoming examination.

Meanwhile, the forest rangers nearby sprang into action. Working together, they set up a simple yet practical inspection table to ensure the smooth progress of the inspection. Soon, the lively and adorable water-jumping fish formed a long, neat line beside the table, appearing remarkably well-behaved, as if they knew what was about to happen.

Zhang Heng was no slouch either. He symbolically donned a spotless white lab coat, then carefully lifted a water leaper and placed it on the examination table. He meticulously examined the fish's condition, gently touching its skin to feel its temperature and heartbeat. Every detail escaped Zhang Heng's keen gaze, his focus completely absorbed in the examination, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings.

Chen Xue stood aside and watched silently, her heart full of admiration for Zhang Heng's professionalism. Chen Chunjiang saw all of this.

The Cyclops Swampert stood beside Zhang Heng, its body trembling slightly, not daring to breathe, silently watching Zhang Heng's expression. Its eyes were filled with concern and worry, as if it could read Zhang Heng's inner thoughts through his eyes.

When Zhang Heng frowned, Swampert's heartbeat instantly accelerated, a surge of unease welling up within him. He nervously stared at the Water Leap Fish in Zhang Heng's hand, fearing that one of his tribesmen might be harboring some serious illness or hidden danger. Every subtle expression and movement tugged at Swampert's nerves, making it impossible to calm down.

However, when Zhang Heng slowly relaxed his frown and gently lowered the Leaping Fish, Swampert's heart finally settled a little. He breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to let his guard down completely, as he knew the weight of responsibility that came with being a parent and clan leader.

At this moment, within this massive Swampert horde, there were eight Water Leapers and six Swamperts. Zhang Heng immersed himself in the situation, beginning a thorough and meticulous medical examination.

He toiled tirelessly, applying a special mucus to the swamp-skipping fish's skin to protect it. Moisture on the fish's skin was the best indicator of their health, and the fish hummed with delight as they felt the cool mucus. He also disinfected and applied medicine to the scrapes on the lively water-skipping fish, working tirelessly from the afternoon until night fell, and the sky was dotted with stars.

When all the work was finished, Zhang Heng gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. He turned his head, his gaze landing on Chen Xue, who was busy digging a pit and testing the soil nearby. He noticed Chen Xue occasionally licking the soil with her tongue, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why would such a beautiful girl be interested in digging pits and eating dirt?" Shaking his head, he cast aside these chaotic thoughts and called out to Chen Xue, "Assistant Chen, can you help me distribute the special food and medicine for the Water Leap Fish? Here's the dosage list I've prescribed."

Hearing Zhang Heng's call, Chen Xue climbed out of the pit, brushed off the dirt on her hands, and responded: "Okay, please give me the prescription, I'll get it right away." After that, she reached out and took the prescription.

Everyone else stayed in the camp about 15 meters away. Dr. Chen, worried about disturbing Zhang Heng, who was concentrating on his work, told everyone to go back and rest. Only the rangers would take turns on night watch. So, at that moment, only Zhang Heng and Chen Xue, who was diligently digging, were left in the area.

Zhang Heng was busy examining the water-leaping fish, picking them up to look at them, then putting them down to touch them, having a great time.

On the other side, Chen Xue was holding a shovel, digging the soil with great effort, making a constant clanging sound. It looked like she was eating dirt. The whole scene was very weird and ridiculous.

After Zhang Heng finished the work at hand, he first took off the white coat he was wearing with swift movements, then carefully folded the clothes neatly and placed them aside, then he slowly sat down while holding onto a big tree next to him.

After a detailed inspection, Zhang Heng discovered that the water-leaping fish were not seriously ill, but were simply malnourished and weak. This was mainly due to their prolonged lack of strength, which directly led to the continuous shrinking of their territory, and the decreasing amount of food and nutrition they received. As a result, their physical condition, combat effectiveness, and overall quality were not ideal.

Thinking of this, Zhang Heng couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Performing such meticulous examinations and treatments on these Pokémon does indeed require a considerable amount of energy. However, being able to personally touch and caress these adorable Pokémon up close is also a very interesting experience. As for their condition, I hope the ground gems can help them."

Zhang Heng leaned against a tree, closed his eyes, and drifted off to a light sleep, reminiscing about his experiences that day. It was the first time he'd been so close to a Pokémon, feeling their warmth and vitality. A breeze blew, bringing a slight chill. Zhang Heng opened his eyes and saw Chen Xue approaching him, pushing a cart filled with food and medicine.

"Doctor Zhang, it's time for dinner." Chen Xue said with a smile, "You've worked hard all day, come and have something to eat."

Zhang Heng smiled, feeling a little uncomfortable with the name, but nodded and stood up to distribute food and medicine to the Pokémon with Chen Xue. Seeing the Pokémon happily eating, Zhang Heng felt much more relaxed.

"Thank you, Chen Xue. Today's work is possible thanks to your help." Zhang Heng said gratefully.

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Chen Xue smiled. "I'm also happy to help these lovely Pokémon."

The two chatted as they worked, and before they knew it, the tranquility of the night enveloped the entire forest. Under the starlight, Zhang Heng and Chen Xue worked together for the health of the Pokémon, their figures forming a heartwarming scene in this beautiful forest.

At this time, the one-eyed giant swampert, supporting another giant swampert, walked towards the camp.
