Sunny watched Nidoran dodge the attack and decided to go ahead and
finish the battle. The short sleep seemed to have calmed her down
much more than she realized. "Scratch again!"
Kage kneels next to her nearly fainted, exhausted pokemon, and
congratulates them on their efforts. Thinking that they should take
a well-deserved rest now, she offers to return them to their
pokeballs. Much to her surprise, the two shake their heads,
signalling they would rather walk along. Kage pats their heads and
together they go further through the forest, not before Kage places
the fainted wild pokemon in a safe spot.
(Kage and Taike come across a man)
???: Woahii! Those Pokémon look exhausted! Here, use these!
(1x potion obtained!)
???: I'm a Pokemart clerk by the way.
Pokemart Clerk: Come visit us if you need more potions! Also,
there's a berry farm ahead if you still need to heal up
(Taike and Kage arrive at the berry farm) (Will continue that after one of you post)
Pokefarmer (actually what's a better name... LOL): Ahhh... Be
careful out there. Some Pineco took over the Durin patch, Cherubi
in the Cherri patch, and Skwovet all over. We've been trying to get
people to catch or remove them, but... Well no one has yet. *The
gardener thinks* Oh! Hey! Maybe you could help?
(Side quest for Taike/Kage received: Help the berry gardeners! CBP:
0/15)
Kage: So that's how things are. Well, I don't see why we shouldn't
give it a try.
Kage comes over her two pokemon, taking some moments to ponder. "I
dont think we can get to these berries without driving them off.
There is one potion I can use. Deerling, would you be fine if we
relied on your Synthesis this time? Then I could use it to heal
Charmander."
Deerling nods, her movements weary and reserved as if to preserve
the little energy she has left. Kage massages her back
comfortingly, not wanting to push the fawn pokemon to the
limit.
Kage uses one potion on Charmander, who recovers (part of) her
health. She heads to where the mischievous pokemon might be.
Sunny smiles down at Nidoran, wondering what on earth just
happened. "Is there something you aren't telling me?" she joked as
she scratched Nidoran behind the ear. Aware she doesn't need more
sleep, Sunny moves on to try to relocate the other trainers, but
staying well hidden.
(As Kage and Taike walk towards the Oran patch, some wild Skwovet
[1xLvl 5, 1xLvl6] attack them with tackle [Held items: Oran berry
each])
(Meanwhile, on the other path... Aname and Colt approach a
crossroads, and they turn East instead of continuing North. They
reach a stone well next to river.)
???: Hi Im one of the Berry Gardeners! I'm Lyselless
LYSELLESS: I was going to deliver water to the garden from this
well, but my Pansage and Panpour are too exhausted! *She stops then
says* Maybe you can help?
ANAME: Sure we can! I just need to know, where is the Berry
Garden?
LYSELLESS: It's just on the opposite side of the woods. Here,
you'll need these!
(1x Pan o' Pour obtained!)
(Side quest for Colt and Aname: Deliver water to the Berry Garden
recieved! 0/1)
(As Aname and Colt continue to explore the area around the well and
next to the river, a kind fisherman appears)
FISHERMAN: Howdy! Have you been fishing lately? What's this? You
don't have a rod? Here, have one o' mine and see how you like
fishin'!
(1x Old rod obtained!)
(Side quest for Aname and Colt: Catch a fish! 0/1)
Charmander senses the Skwovet and growls, taking the hit. Kage
shakes her head upon Deerling's glancing at her, as if to ask
whether she'll need to battle this time. "Charmander, use Ember!"
Kage pats Charmander on her head and collects the Oran Berry
Skwovet held. She barely has time to take a short breath when she
sees Cherubi. "Another one? OK. Deerling, can you pull it through?"
Deerling hops on the ground, ready to battle. Kage smiles. "Then
let's use Synthesis first, then Tackle."
