Prompt(s): Shifara and Neko look at each other and nod. They know just the person to track down to help them find the rarer berry. Their trainer has a friend who is a ranger. They cross their claws in hopes that the ranger is assigned to this particular forest today. After a bit of tracking, they catch a whiff of his scent. A few more minutes, and they are able to come across the ranger. From there, it is a game of charades in trying to get the trainer to understand that they are looking for a berry. The ranger leads them to a few incorrect berries before they finally find the Apicot Berry needed. They have to dodge a few wild Pokemon in order to snag one from the branches, but with help from the ranger, they manage the task much easier than they would have on their own. They nuzzle the ranger's leg in appreciation, then quickly scamper off to return to Auntie Appletun with their prize.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Flavor - Pumpkin and Charm - Alcremie Cream
Prompt(s):

Pumpkin [247 Words]

Sweet Potato, Jingle, and Scarlet walk outside to see a big puddle of mudd where the pumpkins used to be. At first Jingle and Scarlet assumed Sweet Potato was just messing around when he jumped into the mud, but then he started sniffing around-

“What is he doing?” Jingle whispered, Scarlet just shrugged.

“I smell pumpkins!” Sweet Potato chimed, running out of the yard and into the forest nearby. Jingle and Scarlet follow after him but Jingle finds the forest a bit too frightening so she heads back to Aunties while Scarlet continues to follow.

“Hey look! I found them!” Sweet Potato exclaims, jumping towards the fresh pumpkins. They had been taken by three beedrills! Sweet Potato asked why they took all those pumpkins, and the beedrill explained that it was difficult to find fresh fruit like Aunties pumpkins out in the wild, especially with the Fall chill coming.

Scarlet suggests a compromise so that everyone is happy! The pumpkins are quite large so they don't need a lot of pumpkin. They tell the beedrill that they only want one pumpkin back and they can keep the rest, but only if they come back to Aunties and apologize for taking them!

The three beedrill agree to apologies and follow Sweet Potato and Scarlet back to Auntie’s place, where they apologize for taking the pumpkins. Auntie even offers for them to stay inside a bit and have a warm treat, it is quite chilly out there after all!!

Alcremie Cream [275 Words]

Jingle knew just the right place! It's somewhere her mothers like to take her when she gets sad. An ice cream truck near the city, she remembers one of their flavours had alcremie cream and blueberries, that was always her mother Bluebell’s favourite kind!

Jingle leads them over to the ice cream truck she was chiming in on about, she was excited to get to try it again before the world gets too cold for that stuff. She talked about her favourite flavours all the way until they got there.

Once they got there the person at the front noticed Jingle almost immediately, they waved hello to her and Jingle waved back. They knew all they needed was a dollop of alcremie cream but this person wouldnt understand them if they tried to talk, what to do…

Sweet Potato tried to play some odd version of charades with the person, but he must've gotten even more confused than before. So Scarlet crawled to the nearest tree and grabbed a stick from the ground, she went up to the dirt in front of the person and began to write.

She isn't very good at writing but her words will hopefully still be legible enough to read. The person squinted for a moment, leaning towards the ground before understanding what it meant. They pulled out a little ice cream cup, and began filling it with fluffy alcremie cream! They hand it off to Jingle while giving a thumbs up!

Before leaving everyone orders a little ice cream as celebration, Sweet Potato gets mudslide, Scarlet gets bounsweet swirl, and Jingle gets blueberries and cream, just like her mother!!

Choice of Ingredient(s): Charm - Alcremie Cream
Prompt(s): [436 words]

"Uh- hi there," Skittle ventured, shuffling her paws a bit awkwardly. She wouldn't consider herself the most outgoing pokemon, but Auntie had said that the best way to get cream from an Alcremie was to be friendly, so she resolved to at least make an effort. She tried for a small smile, and the alcremie across from her offered one in return, waving a creamy hand in greeting. At least this one seemed friendly enough- it hadn't run away or tried to attack her at the least. But neither of them were saying anything, which meant this situation was starting to get awkward real fast, which meant that Skittle should probably say something-!

"So," she said, a bit more loudly than intended, clapping her paws together. "What are your thoughts on, um. Baking?" She tried, naming the first thing that came to mind- she was on a baking-related mission, after all. The alcremie's eyes brightened- good, it seemed that Skittle had hit upon a shared interest- and they launched into a lengthy explanation about the latest desserts they'd been trying to perfect, chatting excitedly to Skittle without much prompting. They were talking so excitedly that Skittle couldn't really get a word in edgewise- but that was okay, she'd always been more of a listener, anyways. Even though she'd entered into this conversation with the intent of merely getting an ingredient she needed, Skittle found herself actually enjoying the conversation a lot, bantering back and forth with her new friend, telling them about her errands for Auntie and adventures in pie-making, asking if they had any tips to share as well.

"And that's... actually why I approached you, at first," she said, fidgeting a bit. "The latest ingredient I'm in search of is a bit of cream from an alcremie, actually. Not that I- I don't want you to feel like I just approached you because I want something from you!" She hurried to clarify, waving her paws at the alcremie's dismayed expression. "I've really really enjoyed talking with you- maybe we can meet up again sometime, and I can show you my finished pie recipe!"

The alcremie broke into another sweet smile- and before Skittle knew what was happening, they were taking her paws and producing a little whirl of cream, bouncy and sweet-smelling and perfect for piemaking.

"Thank you so much!" Skittle gasped, smiling. "I'd, uh. Hug you, but my paws are full," she said, shrugging helplessly due to her pawful of cream. The alcremie took one look at her sheepish face and burst into laughter, and before long Skittle couldn't help but join in.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Charm (Alcremie Cream)
Prompt(s): [605 Words]

It was the day after Lemonade and Sprinkles had returned from their trip to the caverns, and the pair were ready to hunt down their second ingredient for Auntie Appletun’s foretold pie. After getting a few leads from Auntie, the two of them headed outside to discuss.

“Wellll, Lemon? What are you thinkin’?” Sprinkles questioned, though she was grinning somewhat, as if they already knew the answer.

Lemonade briefly paused, before responding with a glance. “Do you think we should find one of these pumpkins? I mean, if she grew them, they must be lovely…”

“The pumpkins!? I swear I saw your ears perk up when Auntie mentioned the Alcremie cream!” Responded the Bronzong, with a twinge of shock in their nearly-shouting voice. “And it’d probably be pretty easy for us to get! Y’know… since…” Sprinkles’ words trailed off as they watched expectantly, waiting for the Skitty-Alcremie to say something.

“Oh but-” Lemonade looked at their friend. “Pumpkins are in season right now! Let’s get one!” Sprinkles thought for a moment, before smiling and giving a brief nod- as best as they could nod at least. Lemonade was the expert here, so why not trust them?

———

Once they made their way out to Auntie Appletun’s garden, the pair of pokémon began their search for clues. They scavenged for scraps of fur! They dug up rocks, and checked under plants! They scanned the area for pawprints, and tried to sniff out signs of anyone suspicious! After hours of searching, seeking, and searching some more, their evidence was… Just a few tracks that didn’t seem to lead anywhere at all. Discouraging as it may have been, Sprinkles had just the plan to get the search back up and running.

“There’s sooo much fun stuff goin’ on around town today! C’mon, let’s take a break Lemon! It’ll be great!” The Bronzong was twirling in the air as they did the best job of convincing she could muster up. Lemonade thought for a moment. They didn’t want to let Auntie down, but they also didn’t have any leads at all. They had to keep search- “If you’re thinkin’ about letting ol’ Appletun down, I’m preeetty sure she’d encourage a break!” Sprinkles chirped, giving an encouraging smile. That was probably true.

———

And just like they said, the local festivities were a blast. Candies and treats were all over the place, lovely pokémon to meet at every turn. Lemonade and Sprinkles even sat by the fire to hear some spooky stories. Safe to say, taking a break was the right idea. The two sat by the warm flame for a number of stories; tales of perilous peaks and dark magics, huge monsters, and ice-cold glares. Truth be told, Sprinkles was getting rather freaked out, so when their Skitty friend pulled them aside it was somewhat of a blessing.

“Hey, good idea to relax today! Thank you” Lemonade began, with a hushed, yet genuine tone. “I’ve had a lot of fun.”

“Awww, y’mean it Lemon!?” They smiled, and the Bronzong began a cheery spinning. “I just wanted to cheer you up! Besides those pumpkins were long gone by the time we got to ‘em!” They let out a soft chuckle before continuing. “What’s our plan gonna be now, Lemon?”

Lemonade glanced up to the starry sky, then at the campfire, then back to their pie-preparing partner. “Don’t worry about the pumpkin, I think you had a better idea all along.” Another ingredient sought out, and the pair of friends made their way back to Auntie Appletun’s Autumn Abode smiling.

Just as Auntie said, “The happier an Alcremie is, the sweeter their cream.”

Day 4 is closing!

Head back to Auntie's so she can tell you the new ingredients!

Keep an eye out soon for something new!

[Velot]

Day Five

Welcome back!
You've done so well!
Let me see here...

Another fruit pie!

Though, if you wanted 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!

Don't fret if they don't appeal to you...
I might just have a special treat for you tomorrow!
Word on the town is that you might enjoy something
that I happen to have a whole bag of! Hoohoo!

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. Cherubi- I mean Cherry will add a sweetly tart flavor to your pie! There are lots of cherries at the Great Old Cherry Tree! This ingredient isn't challenging to get... But you might end up being overwhelmed. The inhabitants there are extremely friendly and generous to guests! If you like making new friends this is the perfect place! Otherwise you might not enjoy the trip... If you aren't planning to stay long, I wouldn't recommend accepting their hospitality. But they are very kind pokemon, hee-hoo~ It's always a treat visiting their cheery neighborhood!

2. Ruby Gleam is an excellent source of red color! It's an Auntie special~ This will make any pie glitter and shimmer! Just talk to my friend, a wonderfully silly Sableye in the caverns. They like a good spook, but they'll grind up some rubies really finely for you! Ah.. I suppose everyone's gut isn't made for such things, but I trust you to know your limits! Maybe you can use it as a garnish if you think it will upset your tummy, hee-hoo~

3. Cramberry will add a refreshing aroma to your pie! Around this time of the year, Cramorant fish up these curious berries from lakes and toss them to the shores.. Some seem to know pokemon come for berries though and have been seen collecting them in piles in the water to use as bait! That's where this berry gets its name~ While normally quite tart, they can be candied or added as fragrant garnishes to any dessert! You'll have luck near the lake, but mind the silly Cramorat... They'll take any opportunity they can if they're hungry enough! Though, they aren't really dangerous if you're bigger than their gullet...

4. Kelpsy Berry adds a bold charm to your pie! It greatly enhances the natural flavors when cooked for its extract, perfectly marying the other ingredients in a harmony! I hear that it's a prize in another town's club! In a baloon popping game in fact. Maybe you could sneak in to play a round? Hoo~! Just maybe don't get caught.. Unless.. You're already a member?

What will you choose?

Choice of Ingredient(s): (Pick) Flavor and Aroma
Prompt(s): Flavor : Cherubi :

If there's one thing Sushi taught his son, it's to be kind and respectful to others. And Sushi was always very proud and happy to find people of this opinion. So inevitably, when Sushi came across a happy pokémon band during her Cherubi quests, she couldn't help but stay the whole day to play and chat. In the end, she almost forgot her fruits. Fortunately his companion was there to remind him. Whoops. All's well that ends well, and here are some good Cherubi for our pie!

[87 words]



Aroma : Cramberry :

The lake is a place that Patacrêpe knows well, since he sometimes fishes to feed his family, or simply for pleasure. That day, he was surprised to find a large variety of Cramberry in the lake, before remembering that it was Cramorant fishing season. We must therefore be very careful not to fall into their traps...
...
Well, that's in theory. In practice, when you are an electric pokemon, you fear absolutely nothing from water and flying pokemon. So Patacrêpe simply went to help himself to the pile of berries, knocking out each of the birds in one fell swoop, before returning quietly home, as if nothing had happened. Technically simple, but extremely effective.
