Prompt(s): Shifara and Neko nodded at the request. They made their way to the fields and soon found the Toxtricity couple. They suggested a friendly rap battle, thinking it would be a lot of fun to get the two to participate in the musical fun as well. They soon scratched out a sick beat, spitting the words together masterfully. Shifara taking the lead on the lyrics while Neko beatboxed the awesome tune. The two cats had a blast, giving and taking ooo's and ahhh's as a crowd of onlooker Pokemon flitter to observe, drawn by the interesting noise. When it was done, the Toxtricity couple thanked the two young Pokemon for a fun time and passed them the Peach that they needed. They returned it to Auntie Appletun with smiles on their faces and a fun tale to tell.

Prompt(s):
“Apollyon, you see that blue flower?” Mal spoke to the Type: Null. “You need to get it, and you need to get it fast. Those Florges will mess you up if you take one wrong step.” Apollyon grunted in return, nodding its head. Carefully, it hopped the fence of the flower garden, skillfully avoiding landing on a flower. Despite its large size, it was a very agile Pokémon due to its training. Unfortunately, the closest blue flower was in the middle of a large cluster of red and yellow ones… how would Apollyon ever get that thing? Being able to grab it without stepping on any flowers whatsoever would be impossible… so the Null decided to take the risky approach. It charged towards the flowers, snatching the blue one in its claws and running for its life. A hail of bullet seeds and leaf storms bombarded the Pokémon as it ran away, many of the attacks hitting. Luckily, Type: Null was also quite bulky, and was able to take the hits like a champ. It hopped over the fence and threw its trainer onto its back using its helmet.
“Run, Apollyon! They’re mad!” Mal took the flower from Apollyon so it could run faster, gripping onto it for dear life. The two of them eventually made it safely back, though they both looked quite frazzled after the whole ordeal.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Aroma (Gold Fruit)
Prompt(s): [814 Words]

“Heya Lemon… Y’think we’re close yet?” Sprinkles and Lemonade had been traveling for far longer than they had expected to, and it was beginning to weigh on them. Both the stress and the supply bag full of treats and other items that Auntie Appletun wouldn’t let them leave without.

“Auntie did say it might be a long journey. I didn’t know she meant this long though.” The Skitty groaned. “Hopefully these pokémon are at the very least willing to share.” The two continued walking -or floating in the Bronzong’s case- along the trail, in search of the cave’s opening.

“Hey Lemon. D’you know what this ‘gold fruit’ looks like? Is it really gold?”

“Yes I know what they look like! We’ve had them back at the café once or twice. With how much you visit I’m a bit shocked you don’t know.” It seemed Lemonade was beginning to lose their cool. It’s a good thing their destination was coming into view! They were almost there, it was time to really get started.

———

“We made it this far. Now we just need to find one of these hoards, then maybe set up camp before we head back!” Lemonade said, turning to their supposed partner, who they knew wasn’t paying attention.

“Huh!? Oh! Yes! The hoards…” Sprinkles looked around the caverns. “Caves I can deal with, but dark types? I’m a little worried, Lemon.” They said, trying to make it seem like she was listening the whole time.

Lemonade glanced around, noticing slashes and marks in the wall, trying to ignore it.“It’s fine, let’s hope it doesn’t come to fighting.” They made sure to hide the worry that encroached on their face. “And if it does… Then uh, stay behind me, I’ll think of something. Hopefully.” Sprinkles grinned, with complete faith in their friend. Both pokémon continued through the rocky terrain, when Sprinkles spotted something in a clearing, shining through the darkness.

“Haha! This must be it! Auntie said it was some kinda mineral, right!?” Exclaimed the Bronzong, as they rushed in to grab the sparkling something. What they hadn’t noticed however, was the group of pokémon that was cloaked in the deepest of the cavern’s shadows. One, two… No! Four Weavile, all prepared to defend their gold fruit from these intruders.

“Sprinkles, wait!” was all Lemonade could say before the darkness seemed to leap from the walls and at their friend. Unsure of what to do, the Skitty panicked in circles before glancing back into the clearing. They had to do something. Lemonade burst into the area, and channeled their Alcremie side- a brilliant flash of light was shot throughout the entirety of the cavernous room. Putting everything to a momentary hault.

Peeking back at the cave’s clearing, Lemonade saw something they didn’t quite expect. Most pokémon in the room seemed completely dazed by the unexpected dazzling gleam attack, with the exception of two. One of the two was Sprinkles, who seemed to be well enough off, mostly just perplexed by whatever it was that just happened. But the other…

“It seems like you’ve made yourselves clear.” A voice rose from one of the Weaviles, as it got up from a kneel, Its feathers notably larger than the others. “Take as much as you want.” The Weavile-in-charge sighed. “Can’t be bothered picking a fight against an attack like that.” The pair of companions both felt bad, they hadn’t come here to steal! Sprinkles reached for the supply bag that had been hung on her bell-shaped body, and began rummaging through it with their long arms. Aha! The Bronzong yanked out a batch of cookies, nicely wrapped up in some plastic. These were supposed to be for Lemonade to gift to a friend, but they can always make more.

“I think we should make it a trade! If you’re up for that.” Sprinkles tossed the cookies to the Weavile pack’s leader, who caught them in their claw without even looking. The rest of the pack began waking from their daze, glancing over at the trade offer. Lemonade wandered over to join Sprinkles, smiling at their companion, as the Weaviles had a discussion.

The leader then barked at one of their packmates to grab two clawfuls of gold fruit. “I think you’ve earned this.” They said, as the smaller Weavile walked over with the citrus-scented ingredient, trying to wiggle it into the supply bag. “Now, I assume you’ve got quite a bit of traveling ahead o’ ya, so y’better get on outta here… Thanks.”

———

Lemonade and Sprinkles made their way out of the caverns, glad they were able to get what they were after with minimal injuries. “Thanks for the save back there Lemon! I knew you’d protect me!” exclaimed Sprinkles, who was now spinning around in glee. Lemonade looked back at them, smiling, and the two made their way back to Auntie Appletun’s Autumn Abode.

Choice of Ingredient(s):Flavor - peach
Music? Diz didn't have a musical bone in his body but Auntie had said the couple has an appreciation for good music. Unfortunately, he has absolutely none to offer. With a frown he headed up the hill towards the farm, deciding that the best way to do this would be by pure charm. Which he'd like to think he had enough of.

Once he made it to the couple's farm he dug through his bag, fishing out a pair of souvenir spoons that will just have to do. And so he performed probably some of the worst "music" the couple had ever heard, but he choked on his own spit halfway through the spoon solo and they felt bad for him so they brought him inside for some water. Before finally seeing him off with a few peaches as thanks. (and perhaps a "please never come back")

Charm - gracidia flower
Diz sneezed for what had to be the tenth time in the span of an hour. Shaking his head rapidly to clear his head from the weird sensation. The lilligant running the florist's shop laughed, gentle and not unkindly. "Sorry about the pollen, I had no idea you were allergic to the flowers or else I wouldn't have asked you to help with collecting these flowers" she shook her head in disapproval, sounding sincere.

Diz shrugged in response, "I had no idea I was allergic either, don't worry it's nothing", he assured quickly.

Lilligant made a sound of disapproval and hurried into the back of her shop, coming out with a flower Diz had never seen before. "Here, as thanks for helping out" Lilli explained, smiling and handing the flower over. "It's called a gracidea flower" She informed him as he shifted it around in his paws gently, not wanting to ruin the delicate petals.

He looked up at her and beamed, thanking her profusely before heading out of the store.

Choice of Ingredient(s): (Pick) Flavor - Peach
Prompt(s): Fenn trotted along nervously, twiddling her fingers together. Suddenly, they bumped into a soft object. They fell back with a thud, fur raised in fear. "A-ah! So sorry!" she exclaimed instinctively, ears pinning down against her head. "Hm..?" A soft voice spoke, and the "object" turned around to face whatever had just ran directly into it. "How curious, a little Pancham...Don't see those often, are you lost? There, there." The Toxtricity picked up the little shivering Pancham, rather out of character for them, however they felt bad for her. After all, it was just a child Pokémon, and Fenn seemed rather nervous to be at the mercy of a total stranger. "Let me take you inside..."

...

Fenn had been sat in a chair, still shivering greatly. It seemed the two Pokémon were having an intense conversation over their presence, "Come on...The poor thing is petrified, it'd be a sin to just leave it like that." "Yes! But those peaches don't grow for free, you know. We spent so long growing them...Can't you just feed them like, I don't know, cereal or something?? Kids like artificial sugar, don't they?" "Hmh, how about this." the Toxtricities were now facing Fenn once more, who was still as a statue and petrified. All they wanted was to just be set free, all this wasn't worth it for a measly pie. Who was she even collecting this for, again...?

"You see, me and my partner love music. In fact, music was how we met in the first place. Wasn't it, darling?" the two Toxtricities locked eyes lovingly, and Fenn felt as though she was going to be sick. "Could you sing us a song, little one? I can sense that creative bone in you, surely you could write one on the spot. Doesn't matter how good that singing voice is, we'd just love to hear music again. It's been so long since we last went out together for a performance...If you could bring us that joy again, then we can help guide you home, and make sure you're not left on an empty stomach. How's that sound, do we have a deal?" "...D...Deal..." Fenn was heavily shivering at this point, and her entire world was practically spinning.

Sing?...In front of strangers? It's hard enough to even recite a poem to my best friend, oh god...But, if I don't...They'll surely just keep going in circles arguing, what am I to do...I can't go back on my deal now..

"U..Uh..." Fenn gulped nervously, simply staring at the two. She thought back to an older poem she had written, a love-letter addressed to nobody at all, simply just for practice of writing romance. Perhaps she could twist it a bit to be suited for a song. Would that be awkward...? The two seemed to be convinced she was a little baby, but at the same time they had spoken of music being the whole thing that lit their romantic flame. Well, it was worth a shot regardless.

Fenn coughed, almost as if to announce her song. And, in a rather creaky voice, began to do something they hoped they'd never have to do ever in their life: sing. Their voice was not very angelic, or at all soft on the ears by any standards. Nor was the song really much to applaud, but the two Toxtricities begun tearing up once they heard it. "That was lovely! You're very talented for a little youngster." "Yes..Gosh, it reminds me of our first song.."

"S...So..You guys can help me now, right..?" Fenn said, cutting off the twos ramblings. "Ah, yes! Of course. Here, take these with you as well...Finest quality of peaches around." They said, handing Fenn a basket full of peaches. "Oh..Thank you" she smiled, not feeling like telling them that her grandmother grew the same crop back at home. "So, where exactly are we going?" the Toxtricity cocked its head, "A little place called HeartCatch." "Ah, you're mighty far from there. Long travel, eh? No wonder you got so lost and scared." the Toxtricity chuckled, to which Fenn just replied "I reckon."

"Come on, let's get you home. Perhaps you could even sing us more songs on the way there." "Uh...No..No thanks. I think I've sung enough for the rest of the year."

Choice of Ingredient(s): aroma - gold fruit
Prompt(s):

alfie was really excited to get started on xyr pie. the past couple of days, it had listened to what ingredients had been offered and how to get them, but none of them really inspired the wurmple. the pie had to have the perfect mixture of weirdness while somehow ending up absolutely delicious. he had never baked a pie before, but considering alfie was most definitely a master at everything it ever tried, it wasn't too worried.

upon hearing about the gold fruit that smelled like a citrus fruit, alfie wasn't that interested at first. after finding out it was actually a rock, xe became very curious. hidden in deep caverns, alfie learned that dark pokemon liked to hoard them, but this didn't scare xem one bit. xe is a self proclaimed jester pokemon after all. alfie will just make them laugh or something, and then politely ask for a piece of gold fruit.

it took awhile for alfie to actually find a cavern that seemed like it might have gold fruit. the other caverns the wurmple came across just didn't give off the right vibes. if asked to explain this thought process, he wouldn't know why though.

the cavern was very dark. every once in a while, alfie thought he might be getting close to finding some gold fruit due to the scent in the air, but it would quickly diminish every time. to alfie, it seemed like xe had been walking for hours. due to there being no light, it was hard to tell what time it was, but the poor wurmple's feet were beginning to become tired. alfie then decided that finding this gold fruit wasn't worth this much effort. xe could just find something else for the pie's aroma tomorrow.

turning around, alfie started to walk back home. it was trotting along for only a few minutes when it came across a split in the cavern. had he come from the left passage or a right passage? after thinking for seven and a half seconds, alfie concluded it must of been the right one, so that was the way he went. a little while later, he came across another split, but this time the wurmple chose to go to the left.

it didn't take long for alfie to realize it was very much, totally lost. it had been a long day for the wurmple, so it decided to sit down and sniffle away the tears that had been appearing. with the surroundings being close to pitch black, alfie didn't even notice that it had shut its eyes, but a few minutes later he was fast asleep.

- - - - - - - -

alfie isn't sure how long xe slept, but xe woke up to a bright sun shining through the leaves of tree above. he immediately sprang up, feeling confused as to why he wasn't in the cave anymore. looking around, it noticed a next to the trunk of the tree sat a note, and attached to that note was a piece of gold fruit! alfie felt very surprised at how this came to be, so xe decided the next course of action would be to read the note.

dear wurmple
i found you located deep within the vitrozon caverns sleeping away. you were muttering something about gold fruit, so i went back to my nest, picked out one for you, and then carried you outside. unless your good with directions, i wouldn't recommend going back into these caverns. you wouldn't believe how many pokemon i've had to rescue. hope you had a good sleep.
sincerely, sableye

only shocked by this event for a minute, alfie quickly returned to his normal self and celebrated the victory of being able to obtain a gold fruit. it was most definitely part of alfie's plan to get rescued while being lost in the caves, yep yep.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Charm
Prompt(s):
A charm of gratitude? Well, Rosie can't imagine anything more perfect for her pie! After all, she'll likely be sharing it anyways; what's the joy in baking if not to share?

But... partaking in good deeds around town... that's a tough one. She frowns at the directions, trying to not feel a little unsure of herself. What was the point of doing good deeds if it was all for reward? How is she to even know where to begin with this, when she should expect the reward, when to even ask? Was she simply supposed to go up to the florist and ask to be given odd jobs until she rendered herself worthy of a flower? But would those really even be good deeds then, if they were done with an expected payment?

The decision is tough, and she wanders away from Auntie's house feeling just a bit dejected. It was quite hopeless. First she overslept and missed out on cinnamon flavoring, and now this? Just too much! There was nothing else to do for it. She just had to head home.

(On the way there, she:
1. helped three people of varying ages cross the street
2. assisted a lost baby pokemon in finding their parents
3. complimented at least 15 different pokemon for some part of their style
4. helped a pokemon pick up their scattered belongings after they tripped and fell
5. bandaged said pokemon's skinned knee with the bandages she always kept on her
6. made a freshly picked field bouquet for a pokemon looking just a bit down
7. caught a baby flying type just learning to use their wings.)

It was hopeless. How was she ever going to do good deeds? How could she, Rosie, be expected to know what to do with this? She would never figure out what to do in time.

"Hey! Rosie!"

Rosie turned just in time to see Nero the zigzagoon racing to meet her, panting slightly. She blinked in surprise, wondering what he was doing all the way out here - they didn't exactly know each other that well, after all, and she didn't think he knew anyone else all the way out here. But here he is anyway, getting closer and closer... "Rosie-"

There's a horrible ripping noise, and at once they both realize what's happened - he caught his jacket on a piece of metal, jutted out and just sharp enough. Nero turns to look at it with horror, gently pulling his jacket off to examine the damage as Rosie races over. Yes, she doesn't know him well, but she knows this jacket is his pride and joy - genuine leather, very expensive, something he had saved up for. He takes care of it extremely well. Not that it was likely to gain holes so soon, but Rosie just knew that if he even thought the material was about to wear through, he'd pre-patch it.

Which is why, before anything else-

"oh... oh, come in. I have a sewing kit; I can fix that right up for you."

Nero shakes his head. "I can patch it myself, it's not a problem-"

"No, no, I insist. You can come in if you'd like. You can even help decide the patch for it, if you'd like."

So with an amount of reluctance, Nero follows her indoors, allows her to stitch his jacket back together. He picks a fabric for a patch, shows her an idea for one he'd already had and lets her paint it on herself. It's weird to see him without it, Rosie thinks, privately. It would be good to see it back on him. And so she spends the next hours fixing the jacket, until all thoughts of pie leave her head.

"Um," says Nero after she's done, shuffling hesitantly in that characteristic zigging and zagging of the zigzagoons, "I heard you were baking pies, and you needed something special for it, so..."

He shuffles some more, before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a slightly crumpled flower. "I asked the florist if I could have one for a friend," he says, almost sheepish - which meant that he was feeling very bashful indeed. "It's a Gracidea flower."

Rosie hesitates, utterly dumbfounded as she stares at the flower. It was slightly crushed, yes, but... "...Thank you, Nero," she says, reaching out a hoof to take the flower and shooting the zigzagoon a smile.

Prompt(s):

Wip before roll over 😭

[Velot]

Day three is now over!

Please bare with us as Auntie finds her glasses!

[Velot]

Day Four

Welcome back!
You've done so well!
Let me see here... Oh, my favorites!

erm... Some of them!

Though, if you wanted to mix and match ingredients,
I don't blame you!

Let me tell you about these ingredients so you can decide
if you want to go through the effort today, hoo-hoo!

Don't fret if they don't appeal to you...
There is 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. Pumpkin will add a earthy flavor to your pie! Pumpkin pies are one of my very favorites, so it's only natural that my garden would normally be full of them! But you see... I think some wild pokemon took those too. It isn't easy keeping my gourds in the garden when they taste so delicious Hoo-Hoo! Would you go out into my garden and look for clues? The gourds are pretty large and heavy, so there should be some signs of where they were dragged off to...

2. Apicot Berry will add a blue or green color to your pie! A slightly rare Berry. Its blue part has a very dry flavor and its green part has a very sour flavor. I wouldn't reccomend using it as green colorant, unless you have a tart or sour pie... I'm more of a sweet tooth myself~ But these berries can be ground up and used as a potent dye! I often pair a nice blue color with something sweet and rich to balance the flavor! Find someone who can Gather Berries and sometimes they might have one! Usually campers and rangers of the woods can offer something... But don't get lost when you venture through the woods... Or else a ranger might be rescuing you instead!

3. Raticate Claw adds an aroma of nutmeg and ginger to your pie! This spice root is... How do I put it. You'll have to be careful finding this ingredient. I'm a little hesitant to even tell you where to find it actually... I just don't want those dark types to cause you trouble especially after all you've done for me. It won't be me who leads you to this ingredient.. If you happen to find it, I won't stop you from getting it... Just be careful, okay? They can play some nasty tricks... Sometimes even convince you to leave all your belongings! It's not for the faint of heart...

4. Alcremie Cream adds a light and airy charm to your pie! It's said that the happier an alcremie is, the sweeter and more rich their cream! When a Trainer gains Alcremie's trust, Alcremie will treat them to Berries with cream. If attacked, it will throw a sweet-scented cream trying to flee. I'm not much of a fighter myself, but I can never seem to get my hands on any cream! Hm.. as a matter of fact, I don't actually know of any Alcremie. This would be an interesting ingredient to work with. Maybe it's because I haven't been going out as much recently to make new friends..?

What will you choose?
