choice of ingredient : cherry
prompt :
primrose took her time reading over the list of ingredients , deeply thoughtful about which to choose . ultimately , glam decided cherry pie was the way to go . she notified auntie of her ingredient choice before peppily bounding off into the wild towards the great old cherry tree . her lively , dramatic humming filled glamour vicinity .
lighthearted clamor , chatter , and jolliness filled her ears far quicker than the soft aroma of cherry . auntie wasn’t wrong , she thought . that’s a lot of pokemon . she moved on ( not too interested in engaging in the large gathering ) , coming up on the large , mighty , quietly beautiful cherry tree .
primrose thrust glamour upper body onto the tree in a way that allowed her paws to grip the bark ; she extended her neck and plucked a cherry branch , delicate to hold the bark with her teeth and then rough in her forced removal of the floral appendage . glam dropped down from the tree and turned to leave , but a small oddish stood before her . it bobbled its disproportionate body .
“ haii . “ primrose failed to muster a response due to the large stick in her mouth .
“ are you my friend ? “ the oddish spoke strangely . they did not seem very bright . the spunky poochyena , under a misfortunate spell of awkwardness , remained silent once more .
“ you my friend now . “ the oddish giggled plainly . primrose’s face was contorted in bewilderment and slight discomfort as the oddish began guiding her towards the many sounds of chitter and social engagement . glam stood for a total of five seconds before slowly backing into a bush , physically feeling her energy deplete .
“ oh , oki ; bye friend “ the oddish called towards her . they skipped away into a packed circle of eager pokemon .
primrose quickly shuffled back to auntie’s , perplexed at the events that just took place . wow was all the poochyena could think . she plopped the cherry branch in front of auntie , jaw sore from holding it , and then tiredly padded over to the warm appletun’s cozy couch to take a snooze .

Choice of Ingredient(s): Color - Ruby Gleam
Prompt(s):

The caverns were crowed - jam-packed with Pokemon of all kinds going about their daily business. It was a veritable underground metropolis! And in the hustle, in the bustle, in the omnipresent hum of a hundred voices, Ragu suddenly felt very claustrophobic. It wasn't as if his hometown of Firth was small - quite the contrary, actually! Firth probably had a higher population. It was just that, being underground without an open sky above or tree-lined avenues to either side... the smaller population was concentrated into a smaller space. Thus, by the law of two sames cancelling each other out, the caverns seemed like the most crowded place in the world.

Ragu swallowed hard and picked up the pace so as to not get separated from his guide. The last thing he wanted was to get lost down here!

It was odd though, wasn't it? A rock type being uncomfortable underground...? The simple irony was almost enough to make him smile through his unease. Without really taking his eyes off the Geodude in front of him, Ragu scanned the crowd. It didn't take long before he decided that yes, it WAS mostly rock types down here; Rock types and steel types, with the occasional dark or ground thrown in for good measure. There were even a few other shuckles! And was that a Golduck chatting with a Wiglett...? Ragu stretched his neck to get a better look. There must be content and underground river or lake someplace...

Ragu had become so enthralled by his surroundings that he nearly collided with his guide, who had stopped short.

"We're here."

"Oh. Um. Yes. Thank you." The Geodude was giving him a funny look, and Ragu could feel his earlier unease returning at full force. He shifted uncomfortably. "I'll be back in a minute. Shouldn't take long."

The Geodude's silence was stony.

So, without further ado, Ragu slipped into the shop. Its facade had been carved directly onto the cavern wall and made architectural use out of its natural features. Window holes peeped out between stalagmites, flowstone stood in for gingerbreading, and on either side of the door two massive columns stretched up to the ceiling. The shop's interior wasn't nearly as magnificent - nor was it as dark as Ragu had been expecting. He blinked a few times as his eyes adjusted to the dim light, which seemed to be coming from bioluminescent fungi growing around the room. Slowly, bit by bit, he was able to make out the shelves covering the walls, all of which were filled with gems, jewels, bottles and beakers.

"Can I help you?"

Ragu jumped at the voice, which had apparently come from a Sableye which was now grinning widely at his expense. It was clearly amused by having startled him.

Frowning slightly, Ragu made his way over to the counter, behind which the Sableye was lurking. "Yes actually. I'm here for an Appletun called 'Auntie'...? To pick up..."

"Ruby Gleam, yeah yeah. One sec." The shopkeeper waved dismissively and began rummaging around under the counter. Ragu could hear bottles clinking and papers rustling. "You bring the stuff?"

With a sigh, the Shuckle reached into the pouch around his neck and fished out the little baggie of spices 'Auntie' had given him
This he deposited on the counter without ceremony. When the Sableye popped back up, they swapped the bag Ragu had dropped for the one they'd retrieved.

"There. You're good to go." They smiled broadly.

"Wonderful, thank you." Ragu was NOT smiling. He scooped up the Ruby gleam, placed it in his pouch, and turned to go.

"Don't you want to check it?"

"No, not really. 'Auntie' know where you live. You wouldn't cheat me."

"Yeah... I guess you're right..." The Sableye's smile faltered slightly and they raised a hand to rub the back of their head.

"Goodbye then." And with that, Ragu left the shop.

His Geodude guide was right where he'd left them, and after a brief exchange they began making their way back through the caverns and back toward the surface.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Flavor -- Cherry / Color -- Ruby Gleam
Prompt(s): [Pokemon featured - Jazz, Error]


Code: Select all

Another day, another adventure. It wasn't like Jazz could get tired of these adventures, though. He quite enjoyed following Error around as they gathered the ingredients for a pie. He didn't really understand why this pie had been so important to Error, though. Surly he might find out soon enough, he just had to have the patience to wait for an answer.

Today was a bit different. The duo was seeking out Two ingredients instead of just one.
The couple had arrived at the entrance of a gave, littered with all kinds of gems and rocks. It was dimly lit, of course, but it probably wasn't enough light for the both of them to be able to traverse the caves easily. Error glanced toward Jazz, tilting his head.
"Do you have another torch with you?"
Jazz simply nodded in response, pulling out another small torch from his bag, and lighting it like the last with a small burst of fire. Handing it off to Error, the ninetales placed the torch through a loop in his belt. Error began walking forward, with Jazz following behind.
"So, you said we were looking for a Sableye?" Jazz raised a brow, earning a nod from Error, "Curious to what kind of ingredient we're looking for. You're so secretive about this pie."
Error just chuckled, "You'll see. I think you'll really like this one. It's super important, this ingredient."
Important? And Jazz was going to like it? Well, now the ninetales was really confusing the flareon.

As the couple reach a particular, large cavern, Error pulled Jazz to the side, the two of them hiding behind a pillar, practically made from a very Very tall stalagmite. Glancing around the pillar, the two caught a glimpse of the silly little Sableye they were looking for.
Error quietly dug into his bag, taking out a small handful of party snaps. Just like that, the ninetales chucked them at the wall, causing a popping sound to echo across the cavern.
Of course, the sound did startle the Sableye, causing them to make a sound that echoed just as much. Error laughed as the pokemon asked who was there. The Sableye squinted, before giving a chuckle back.
"Ah, the trickster gets tricked! Auntie Was telling me you were coming." The Sableye exclaimed, handing a small pouch to Error, "I had the rubies ready for you."
Error smiled, giving a nod of appreciation, "Thank you for doing this for us. I figured something like this was going to give an extra special charm to the pie we're baking."
"Well, I appreciate you coming by. I hope the baking goes well, for ya'. Glad I could help ya' with making it special."
With Error and the Sableye conversing for another few minutes, eventually him and Jazz made their way back out the way they came.

---------

From the cave to a forest, Jazz couldn't help but wonder more about Error's plans. This was the second forest they had been to, with all kinds of different ingredients.

It didn't take long for Jazz to start hearing the chattering of inhabitants of the great cherry tree, and it also didn't take long for him and Error to get pulled into a conversation.

Error, like previously, had brought gifts for the inhabitants. He was good at this kind of thing. Give and get kind of things. Jazz admired it.
It seemed like a while before the couple had left. It had been mid afternoon, and it had suddenly become evening. The perfect time to start making a pie, of course.

With all the ingredients, Error and Jazz said goodbye to their hosts and made their way back to Auntie Appletun's Abode. Error seemed thrilled, excited to start something he had been planning for awhile. There was a reason Jazz had been so clueless to why Error found this pie important, and he was about to find out.

It was finally time to put all their hard work into the pie.
Error's tails wagged out of excitement as he and Auntie Appletun placed down all the ingredients to start.

Error mixed together the wet ingredients for a filling as Auntie made a pie crust. Jazz sat in the next room over, having been told to wait there by Error. The Ninetales couldn't let the surprise be spoiled, of course.

This Pie was going to be perfect. Perfect for a special day like the current one.
As Error finished making the filling, Auntie slid the pie tin over to him. Inhaling softly, the ninetales poured the filling into the crust. It was a bright red, smelled of cherries and shimmered in the right light.
Red was Jazz's favourite colour, and cherry had been his favourite flavour for just about everything.
The top crust was very nicely decorated; laced and covered in small hearts.
Auntie chuckled, "Well, dearie, this is quite the lovely pie." She gave Error a pat, letting the ninetales slide the pie into the oven. Auntie set a timer, setting it on the window sill "Just a bit of time for it to bake. Why don't you go into the other room with your darling and I'll clean up in here. I'll call you on back once the pie is cooled down."

Error was giddy, nodding and heading into the other room. He sat across from Jazz, his tails still wagging about.
"You seem happy." Jazz commented, giving a laugh, "You've been so secretive, Error. You're never like this with me. You've got me all kinds of confused and curious."
Error stared at him before turning and reaching into his bag, pulling out a small trinket, and handing it to Jazz. The trinket was a golden emblem, covered in all kinds of red gems. "It's for you. It's a special day- When we first met. It was love at first, sight, you know- We've been together for so long, but I'd never forget the day we first met." He laughed.
Jazz blushed, giving a laugh back. He pinned the emblem to the strap of his own bag, hopping forward and giving the ninetales and hug and a kiss, "Well, I wouldn't expect you to forget, obviously. You really didn't have to do something so special for me."

Time seemed to pass fairly quickly, and the couple was called to the kitchen.
Auntie had set up some candles and plates for the two of them, making to place feel a little more romantic and special for them.
"Your dearie made the pie for you. I do hope you enjoy, I think he made some very good choices for ingredients."
And that Jazz did; he enjoyed the pie, shimmer and all. He couldn't have been more grateful for the boyfriend he had. The night had gone perfect. Just as perfect as the pie was, just as perfect as Error was. Jazz couldn't have ask for anything better than this.

Choice of Ingredient(s): color - ruby gleam
Prompt(s):
nyx and circe entered the sableye's cavern. rubies glimmered around them as the two ventured deeper into the cave. circe eyed them in awe as the gems sparkled around them. "look at all of them, they're so pretty," circe exclaimed. looking towards nyx, they didn't seem as taken aback by the rubies around the duo.

"we just need to get this task done," nyx said, moving deeper into the cave.

"no need to move so fast, we can enjoy the view."

"what view? all i see is rock, rocks, and even more rocks," nyx blandly replied. they simply had no interest in the rubies like how circe did. "look for any rubies near the ground, it'll probably be easier to dig them up and bring them to the sableye.

though dark, circe looked around some more and found two large rubies staring right at her. "look at those, they're just the right color, nyx!"

"good, let me claw them out," nyx replied. "then, we can take them to the sableye to make the ruby gleam." they readied up fury swipes and approached the two large rubies. they raised a paw and went to strike the rubies out of the ground, until the rubies exclaimed, "watch it, kid!"

nyx and circe jumped back in surprise. they both stood wide-eyed and screamed in terror before turning tail and running. "wait up, i can give you the ruby gleam." the sableye chased after them until they reached the mouth of the cave. "fine, be like that," the sabelye yelled at them. "but, since you've came all this way, take some ruby gleam with ya!" the sableye tossed out a small pouch of it before returning to the depths of the cave.

"at least we have it now," circe gingerly said with a small scared chuckle.

"yeah. . ."

Day: 6
Prompt:
A day off is ideal for watching a good horror movie with friends! Eating popcorn and candy in front of the television is always fun! Well, especially for Pancake and his mother Sushi, because for the other two... It was something else...
Indeed, while Pancake and Sushi were having fun watching the movie and emptying the jars of food, Pancake began to yawn. Another old cliché horror movie seen and re-watched hundreds of times... Finally, the fusion pokemon fell asleep on the couch, and ended up covered in sweet candy wrappers.
Finally, as far as Daryl was concerned, the little Sandshrew invited to the party was shaking in terror. His brother wasn't there, and his boyfriend was having a good time, over something that scared Daryl a lot. The poor guy was shaking, sitting on the couch, and his front paws over his eyes, grimacing. He was probably going to sleep badly tonight... Poor Daryl.
