“Alright we need Corsola stuff.” Fawkes nodded, “Auntie said that there should be some on one of the nearby beaches… but I think they might be gone now.”

Fate conjured up a real time feed of the beach and nodded, “Yep.”

“Perhaps we can go to Sahto?” Sakurune asked, “Aren’t there a few colonies of Corsola there? The Galar kind.”

Fate nodded, pulling up another image, “Let’s go! Arcane! We’re going to Sahto!”

Choice of Ingredient(s): flavor - strawberry sweets
Prompt(s):
the battle cafe was bustling with excitement as juno entered, flanked by circe. the waiter, or battle master, was watching the current match between a pidgey and rattatta, but as the two entered, they whipped their head around to greet them. "welcome to the battle cafe! how may we help you today?"

"we need a strawberry sweet for a pie, and we were told that you could get us some," circe answered. "how do we go about it?"

"you'll have to battle for it if you want it that badly," the waiter replied. they gestured to the battled going on. "one of you will have to go in and be victorious. so, who would it be?"

"uh, I don't know," circe replied. she turned to juno who didn't seem to care at all. "what should we do?"

juno didn't give a direct reply, just releasing one of its shadowy arms and pointed at itself.

circe raised an eyebrow. "you want to go in and battle?"

juno bobbed its false head as circe turned back to the waiter. "juno will go in for us. it wants to battle."

"gotcha ya, i'll put you down for the strawberry sweets battle. you'll be up in two or so rounds," the waiter said. they pointed to the waiting area near the battle field. "wait over there please, and we'll call for juno when the round is to start." circe led them as they sat down and enjoyed some of the battles. before they could call for juno, circe turned to it, "don't overkill it. you just have to make your opponent yield, that's all." then, speaking of the devil, the announcer called juno down into the battle ring. juno scurried down to the ring to its match. it was expecting a good fighting match, not a skitty who was jumping around in excitement. "battlers, get ready," the announcer said. "get set, go!"

the skitty jumped up and unleashed swift upon juno, not affecting it at all. they seemed startled by it, and juno struck back. it unleashed its shadowy arm and aimed to the skitty, only for it to go right on through the skitty. it tried again, but it only went through the skitty again. the skitty smirked and said, "looks like you couldn't harm me either. now, it's time for-"

juno interrupted the skitty via a play rough. it instantly knocked out the poor skitty, and the announcer announced juno as the winner. the waiter presented the strawberry sweets to juno, and it eagerly grabbed the sweets and raced back to circe. circe, on the other hand, was shocked. "you didn't have to do that," circe scolded it. "your opponent was just a skitty, you would've been fine against them without being that rough."

juno didn't care, only parading around its victory prize back to make their pie.

Choice of Ingredient(s): (Pick) Aroma
Prompt(s):
This was boring.

Going on a grand adventure to a fairy grove for sweet wood had been one of the most exciting things Mona had ever done, and now she craved more of it. Exploration called.

But Amenamuon had told her to stay within sight of Auntie’s cottage while she headed out to find Arceus, wherever the strange god had ventured out to. The pie couldn’t be completed without four ingredients, and Arceus had forgotten to drop the berries he’d found with Auntie before he left.

Mona paced towards the edge of the garden and sat down upon a mossy rock. She wanted to bake a pie with Auntie, and of course the adults had to slow them down. Well. If they couldn’t get back with the ingredients in time… Mona suddenly sat up straight. She could find the last ingredient for them.

They already had plenty of rhubarb, Miss Amy had made sure of that. What else was there to find here? Mona’s claws tapped against the rock beneath her, and was meant with a dull tap instead of the more familiar cliclick, cliclick. She looked down. A pretty, spongy green moss spread out beneath her like a blanket.

…Perfect.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Flavor (Strawberry Sweets)
Prompt(s): [776 Words]

Sprinkles and Lemonade continued enjoying the local halloween festivities for a few days before they returned to Auntie Appletun’s. One explanation of her several ingredients down and they once again went outside to plan their next.

“Soooo…” Sprinkles began with a smile. “What’s the plan this time, Mx. Lemon?”

“Well I was thinking.” They responded quickly, looking up at the bigger pokémon. “You should choose this time! I feel bad that I didn’t listen to you the other day!” Sprinkles’ eyes began to sparkle. “So let’s hear it! Where are we going?”

———

Quickly arriving at the entrance of the local Battle Café, the duo made a brief stop before entering. “Please tell me you didn’t pick this place because I work at a café.” Lemonade said, almost hissing, as they put their small paw up to their face.

“Whaaaaat? Noooo. Don’t be silly, Lemon, I just… really like the flavour of strawberries!” They knew the Bronzong was lying, but didn’t make note of it. It was endearing. With a flick of their yellow tail, they stepped inside of the café with Sprinkles close behind.

“Hello!” An extravagantly coloured Alcremie in a small, sleek uniform stumbled over to greet them. “Welcome to the Battle Café! Are you here to order normally or compete?” She said with a charming tone.

Lemonade gave her a small wave before they began explaining. “We were sent here to look for some strawberry sweets. Do you-?”

“Yeah yeah! We’ll battle!” Sprinkles interrupted getting in between the Alcremies. “How do we sign up!?”

Before anybody could argue, the Alcremie smiled and started leading the way to a battlefield in a mid-size sideroom. The two new challengers followed her - reluctant or excited respectively - before she instructed them to pause on one half of the court.

“This will be a single round double battle!” The colourful Alcremie exclaimed, waving to Lemonade and Sprinkles. “The battle will be between these two challengers…” She paused, and right on cue, a small Vanillite entered the room, with an air of nervousness. “...And us!”

“A double battle? Hold on I didn’t-” But before the Skitty could opt out of the battle they never meant to join…

“Oh come on, Lemon! It’ll be fun! Besides, I saw what you can do back at the caverns!” Sprinkles turned to face their newly established opponents with a confident grin, raising her long arms.

Lemonade flicked their yellowish tail. “That was different! I was just trying to help you out!”

“Aw come on! I believe in you, Lemon!” What choice did they have? It was the proper way to get the sweets. They begrudgingly nodded to their bell-like teammate, and the battle began with a countdown.


———

The battle began with the small Vanillite conjuring some sort of barrier, likely mirror coat. Quickly, Lemonade slipped over to their teammate. Decorate was a useful move back at their café, but it turns out it’s handy in battle too. Sprinkles winked back at them, and started charging a move of their own. Metal sound. Should do well against these two.

“Now!” The Alcremie fired a large hyper beam at her opponents as they were grouped, hoping to hit both at once. However, before the beam launched into them, the Bronzong dissipated their readied attack, and took the hit!

“Sprinkles!? Are you alright?” The steel-type let out a small ‘mhm’ when Lemonade’s head whisked back towards the opponents. They needed to create an opening for metal sound to work. Lemonade started towards the Vanillite as they prepared what looked to be protect, and blasted a flashy dazzling gleam at both opponents. Just when the bright light was diminishing, a loud screech erupted from Sprinkles.

Dust settled and the Alcremie was left standing, however her partner seemed to have sat out. Right as soon as she began to plan out her next move, she was picked up by some sort of psychic attack. The battle was finished with Sprinkles’ telekinesis, and she and Lemonade were congratulated as they returned to the main Battle Café area.

———

“Thank you for coming! That was quite a fun battle!” Cheered the Alcremie, trying to shake hands. “My partner is grabbing your strawberry sweets as we speak!” Just as she said, the small pokémon rushed out of another door with a bag of small red treats. Content with the new ingredient, Sprinkles and Lemonade began heading out of the café.

“See! The battle went great Lemon! We did great!" They were once again spinning with glee as they smiled at the Skitty, who nodded and smiled. The pair made their third successful trip back to Auntie Appletun’s Autumn Abode with a newfound synergy.

(Color: Corsula Shed)
Colisha traveled to the nearby beach and collected some corsola sheds!


(Aroma: Wet Moss)
When Palios opened his basket, Colisha's eyes widened in shock.
"What. Is. That..."
Palios proudly showed off their ingredient to her. "A patch of fresh moss. I grabbed these while returning from that peach field."
"Well..." She paused with a slight sigh. "At least we can start making our pie, I guess."

Day Eleven

Welcome back!

Let me see here...

We're coming close to the end of the list!
Tomorrow holds the last four ingredients!

Keep in mind,
If you want to mix and match ingredients,
I don't blame you! Some of these could go with anything!

Let me tell you about these ingredients so you can decide
if you want to go through the effort today, hoo-hoo!
But don't be waiting too long now...

Don't fret if they don't appeal to you...
There's always tomorrow's ingredients!

Today's Prompts
Show/Tell Your pokemon getting these ingredients!
(You can pick one, some, all, or none! Auntie will keep track of which ingredients you give her)
You'll need four total ingredients to create a pie. One that adds flavor, one for color, another for aroma, and finally one for charm!

1. Bannanas will add a creamy sweet flavor to your pie! They're only ripe twice a year so now is the perfect time to grab them before they're either eaten or spoil! There are many ranches that raise Tropius for their fruits, but even they have to have these fruits growing to see their pokemon flourish~ Follow the wild Tropius to these ranches and you'll find plenty! Though you might have competition... This fruit is also the favorite snack of local children.

2. Ginger root will add a warm yellow or orange color to your pie depending on how much you use! The roots of local ginger plants are packed with bright minerals, but with a flavor palatable enough not to change your pie taste! I'm not sure how to find this one reliably.. but many friendly ground types I'm sure would be able to recognize the bold colored roots as they excavates and could point you in the right direction! Careful handling it, it can stain..

3. Tropic Blooms will add a floral scent to your pie! Often used as a sweet and tasty tea, the tropic petals of the flowers adorning meganium are wonderfully scented! This scent is so great, it's said to calm even the most agressive of pokemon..~ Imagine that? Well, being the peace keepers that they are, Meganium often hang about healing centers or apothecaries. There's a coven not far that might be helpful... Either having the petals themselves or knowing where you could get a fresh stock~

4. Swirlix Down adds a sticky charm to your pie! While not for everyone, the extremely sweet fluff of a Swirlix melts into a sugary spiderweb of stickyness that's perfect if you're into that sort of thing. This will definitely stick to the roof of your mouth though... Better have something to wash it down! The only real trouble is finding a Swirlix who has kept their fr clean... I mean. Unless you don't mind sticks and bugs and things.. But clean and manicured Swirlix are hard to find in the wild. Usually they groom in packs or with the help of a trainer though.

What will you choose?

Choice Of Ingredient: Peach Flavor + Custard Charm + Curled Bean Pod Paste Aroma + Ginger Root color
Prompt:

While the group seemed most interested in clearing out their new base of operation today (see Arts and Crafts), they did managed to get in touch with some ground types and ask around about the ingredient. Port had somehow been the unfortunate soul sent out with a Sandshrew to scour for the root, which took a while. Eventually, a passing Diglet took pitting on them and handed over the exact directions to a local spot where it often grew. From there, it was pretty easy to actually get the stuff and carry it to the bakery -- if only it was half as easy to get the stain off Port's legs.

Choice Of Ingredient: Peach Flavor + Custard Charm + Curled Bean Pod Paste Aroma + Ginger Root color
Prompt:

Terra, Port, and Ezra sat in Auntie Appletun's kitchen, staring at the ingredients they'd gathered. After some discussion, they settled on trying to create a Peaches and Cream pie. Ezra was able to explain that using the custard Port and Terra had whipped up a few days ago and the peaches they'd gotten from that weird Dance Battle in the plains, they could layer the two in a pretty rose-like pattern to add some visual flair and make one cohesive bite. She offered to grind down some ginger root, knowing to be extra careful about adding too much or too little to the crust dough. While Ezra worked on that, Port and Terra carefully made the Curled Beans they'd gathered into a paste and mixed it with the custard. It wouldn't mess with the color too much-- according to Auntie of course-- but would be a good way to mix the ingredient into the pie well.

After about half an hour of work, Ezra presented a wonderful orange-yellow crust and pressed it neatly into a large shallow pie dish Auntie had offered. Auntie instructed Port and Terra to pour in the custard and gently drop the pan against the counter a few times to eliminate air bubbles. A few, very messy, moments later and the pie was ready for some peaches. Terra, Port, and Ezra all took turns laying rows of peach until it created a beautiful rose shape. "Hey Auuuntie, are you absolutely one hundred percent certain we can't add some of the cream we got earlier on top when it's done too?", Terra half jokingly asked, bating her eyelashes innocently. Auntie only chuckled and offered to put the pie in for the crew, warning them not to touch it while it cooked.

After some time, the pie was ready. The peach rose stayed pretty well intact, but the custard seemed to really dampen the bottom layer of crust. The crust was significantly darker orange than it looked before cooking, but it wasn't a huge deal since the peaches were a pretty good color match too. The whole thing smelled so beautiful, Terra looked about ready to faint from excitement. Auntie beamed proudly at the group and nodded to herself," This pie is stunning you guys, thank you so much for all your hard work with creating a delicious and beautiful work of art with me." Port cast a warm smile her way, eyeing Terra to make sure she wasn't gonna go for it. Ezra nodded approvingly too," Gotta admit, that was kinda fun.. right Terra?" Terra's eyes were glued to the pie, almost entranced... There would be no way to get any sort of answer out of her. "Welp.. that's Terra for you."
