Coming in with an injured trainer, and a freshly balled pokegirl PLUS one that didn't belong to him - it was a wonder that the young officer took everything down with only the occasional sarcastic comment to indicate she had some doubts about the overall truthfulness of events.
Still, this was where he could get the wild pokegirl imprinted with basic information. He could get some sleep on an actual bed after walking around for hours. He could get the trainer to medical attention.
He could also check his listing for the newly captured pokegirl.

Ash considered the image and thought back to his studies. Dryads were a common Nymph type, which was further differentiated by their Element. There were Dryads (wood), Naiads/Undines (water), Oriads (earth/rock), Sylphs (air), and something else. He couldn't remember off hand, but hadn't there been something about Maenads and another type? Whatever. He could look it up later.
Nymph types all looked pretty much the same unless you changed the hairstyle or got ahold of something to modify the appearance. They were all really exaggerated feminine figures, overly sexual. They had strong drives in that regard too, but that might have just been locker-room talk among young boys growing up. Fairly common, but he hadn't interacted with any before now. For some reason, human women seemed to resent them.
Dryads could be useful on farms and trained to do forestry and other plant related work. The ones that had been trained and incorporated into human society were scantily clad. Partly this was due to needing to keep their bodies where the sunlight could feed them. Partly it was because nymphs just did not like to cover up despite the necessity of doing so in public.
Nymphs were short and not particularly smart or strong. They usually managed to get words like "perky" or "enthusiastic" put together with them.
"Hello, you must be Ash. I'm Brock."
Ash blinked at the interruption, then realized who this guy must be. "Ah. Hello. You got the message about your pokegirl then."
"That's right," said the guy with the squinty eyes. "Thank you for taking care of her. Especially with the pokegirl thieves apparently in the area."
"No problem, I was heading to Viridian in order to join the Explorer Corps," explained Ash.
"Excuse me," said the nurse manning the reception desk.
