Foraging for the Afternoon

Kristen had contemplated taking a boat to visit a port town in Ascua for shopping. Aside from not being thrilled with boat rides, she did a bit of math and figured that it would probably be more cost-effective to find apricorns and berries to create her own pokeballs and medicine, respectively. Her Pokemon were fairly strong, so she wasn't too worried about them needing medicine too soon, but it was a bit troublesome when the best place on the island to find apricorns was also home to many Poison-type species.

Or so Kurt and she have found.

It was actually that reason as to why Kris has left Trek at home. Her Grovyle hadn't been thrilled with not exploring with her, but she had Knuckles the Lucario and Baron the Scrafty with her. Knuckles was looking around, rigid and alert, while Baron was more or less sauntering with his hands clasped behind his head.

"Alright, guys, we're mainly looking for apricorns and berries," Kristen said. "If there's anything amiss, that's something, too."

Knuckles nodded, Baron gave her a lazy thumbs-up, and both joined her in foraging for the afternoon.

"Thank you," Kris said, taking the berries that Knuckles had found. Her Lucario gave her a brief bow before turning to see what else he could find. Baron shouted from a couple of feet away and, thankfully, Kristen had the reflexes to catch the airborne apricorns that the Scrafty had thrown her way.

"Gee, thanks," Kristen said, and Scrafty seemed to chuckle before sauntering off to see what else he could find. Kristen inspected the two apricorns -- a red and a green -- and figured they were as good of a start as any when it came to making pokeballs.

She put the found berries and apricorns away before shouldering her pack and joining the hunt.

"You found a decent Pecha berry bush, huh?" Kristen asked as she thanked Knuckles returned with a few more ripened Pecha berries. She'd be able to make a couple of good batches of antidotes, at the very least. Perhaps she'd also sell a few, depending on how many servings her recipe made.

"Scraf." Baron reappeared on her other side with a couple of more apricorns. Instead of a red one, Scrafty handed her a white apricorn to go along with a couple of more green ones. She would be able to make a couple of different types of pokeballs with these. Perhaps she should also invest in a garden to grow apricorn bushes at some point.

"Thank you," she said. "C'mon, let's see what else we can find."

"Have you picked the Pecha berry bush clean?" Kristen asked Knuckles, thanking him for bringing back another ripe berry. Baron wasn't too far behind his teammate, this time just tossing one red apricorn up in the air, making a game of playing catch with it. The Scrafty tossed the apricorn to his trainer and Kris gazed at the pile that he had found for her.

Five Pecha berries would make a couple of good batches of antidotes, at the very least. Six apricorns was a good start for a handful of pokeballs as well. They would be able to tide her over until she was able to get to the mainland and a proper Pokemart, at the very least.

"Thanks, guys," she said, allowing the pair to preen. "Good work."

Hisses joined the light breeze that was blowing through the woods, and a Salandit crested the hilltop to the trio's left. The Salandit hissed again, signalling to another pair of the species, which joined it in staring at Kris and her Pokemon. Apparently, the wild Pokemon were out hunting for their queen and Kris and her team were encroaching on their territory.

The three Salandit slithered closer to the trainer, a faint purple smoke belching from the middle Salandit's mouth in warning.
