Day: 10
Choice of Ingredient(s): Aroma - moss
Prompt(s):

"hey quit it! stop biting me!"
cora continued to tug at her sibling's tail, making finn growl angrily.
"cora i said stop!"
"mama says we has to help make pie!" the small litleo cried, and finn rolled their eyes.
the litleo vulpix fusion waved a paw as they snatched back their tail from their sister, "uh huh, yeah sure. i'm not making some pie. baking is for losers!"
cora pouted, watching as her sibling curled up again on the grass without a care for baking. even thought cora was young, she knew baking wasn't for losers! baking was fun! and you got to eat yummy food! maybe she could find a yummy ingredient to change finn's mind.
she turned away from her sibling and started to wander off, looking around for something they could start a pie with. rocks? she'd tasted rocks before! they were hard and a little salty, and mama had told her to spit them out so maybe she shouldn't use rocks. leaves? she had leaves before! they didn't taste like much...and mama had also told her to spit them out...so maybe not leaves.
she continued on her small journey as she came across a fresh patch of moss. moss! she remembers tasting moss before! weird flavor, but she liked it! mama told her to spit that out too...but at least it tasted like something!
the small litleo pawed at the moss, digging up a little bit and trying her best not to get the dirty bits. when she succeeded, she picked up some of the moss and wandered back to where finn was dozing off. she then proceeded to paw her older sibling, resulting in them to groan with frustration.
"what do you want now, cora?" finn grumbled, lifting their head to look at their baby sister.
cora sad, setting the moss on the ground, "make pie!"
"i told you, im not making a dumb pie!"
cora frowned, pointing down at the moss, "in-gree-dant!" she shouted, annoyed.
finn raised an eyebrow at the moss, but then their expression morphed into something filled with deviousness.
"hmmm, y'know, maybe making this pie won't be so bad."

Choice of Ingredient(s): Strawberry Sweet
Prompt(s):

Stolas enters the famous Battle Cafe, looking around. ''I need a strawberry sweet, please!'' He jumps up and lays his head onto the counter, attempting to give the human a cute look over the counter. Of course, the human only heard a few yips and seen Stolas nudge at the one of many sweets they have available. Even a thief needs to know when to use a little charm to get what they want,
''Fine, but just this once. Come back with your trainer next time.'' The barista chuckles and slides the ingredient over before giving the innocent looking nickit a pat on the head. When Stolas was nearly out the door, he paused as the barista spoke. ''Wait.. I know those stripes.. You're the little runt that keeps getting into our garbage!'' When confronted, the nickit gave his signature nervous chuckle and ran.

Day: 10
Choice of Ingredient(s): Sweet Strawberries/Roasted Pokebeans/Aroma/Marshmellow Root
Prompt(s):
[707 words]
Rylanie and Daidaiiro returned to Auntie's, excited to pick out their last ingredient for the pie — something to add aroma. However, today's offered aroma ingredient caused both to recoil in befuddled disgust.

"Moss?" squeaked the Scorbunny in horror. In a pie? Surely, no one picked out that for their pie. His trainer thanked Auntie for her offer and turned to leave. They could return tomorrow to pick out another ingredient for the aroma. "Wait! Ry!" Daidaiiro called out after her perking up Rylanie's ears.

She turned with a furrowed brow inquiring, "You're not actually considering the moss, are you?" She actually felt nauseous thinking about it.

Daidaiiro shook his head vehemently, then exclaimed, "Strawberries would be perfect with the roasted pokebeans! Then we could go visit the battle cafe!" He hopped in place as the adrenaline coursed through his body.

"What about the limes?" asked Rylanie with a small frown. While hesitant, she had gotten excited about using them. Besides, they put so much work into getting them yesterday.

"Oh, we can use them for some other food?" Daidaiiro suggested keen on the strawberries. Rylanie relented with a small smile and nod. Her Scorbunny loved fruits, and the battle cafe was a key location in his hometown, Motostoke. He used to spend time just watching the battles from the window outside. When he did have an opportunity to enter, he was enamored by the atmosphere and food. It was a very special place for him, so Rylanie knew there was no talking him out of it now. Also, chocolate and strawberries were classic together.

"Strawberry pie sounds delicious, and I suppose it will be a good training opportunity," Rylanie giggled, and they both headed to Motostoke's battle cafe. The cafe master was at the front desk with his iconic, yellow tie and greying hair.

He beamed at the pair and warmly invited them in, "Welcome to the Motostoke Battle Cafe! Can I help you?" Daidaiiro dashed up the counter with a gleam in his eye and looked expectantly at the cafe master.

Rylanie explained to her eager Pokémon, "We're here to battle you, sir. We are interested in winning strawberry sweets."

The cafe master looked excited himself as he responded, "Of course! You seem confident. Let's see who ends up winning. Let me remind you that you can only battle once, so good luck." He ushered them to where they would battle and brought out his Combee Pokémon. The three, adorable bees buzzed loudly, excited to get into their next duel. Daidaiiro's jaw fell amazed that he would be fighting a bug Pokémon. They were weak to fire, and he had natural defense from their attacks! Rylanie smirked thinking they would have this in the bag, but then she noticed the level... oh, that is quite a bit higher than Daidaiiro...

With a silent prayer, she hoped Daidaiiro would go first. He was a super-fast Pokémon! Surely, he would get the first move! Unfortunately, the trio of bees was just slightly faster, knocking the Scorbunny to the ground with a powerful gust of wind. The Cafe Master hollered in encouragement.

Rylanie decided to follow suit with her own cry, "It's okay, Daidaiiro! Get up and show these bees the bees' knees!" Many in the crowd cringed, but the Scorbunny clambered up to his feet, charging up the heat pads. Fire gathered at his paws before blasting it to the vulnerable bugs. They screeched in terror as they were engulfed and fell to the ground seething from the pain. Daidaiiro prepared another fiery attack, but Rylanie interrupted, seeing that they were pretty hurt, "Hold on. Give them a moment." The bees stayed on the ground giving the signal they were calling it quits, and their trainer came to their aid with a couple of antidotes and healing potions. After tending them, he petted each one tenderly before looking at the victorious duo.

"Congratulations! You won the Sweet Strawberries! That was a tough one. Come again, and we'll have a rematch!" he exclaimed. Rylanie picked up Scorbunny, who hollered in victory and excitement. After taking care of the Combee, the cafe master gave them the strawberries, which they took home and added to their collection of gathered ingredients.

Nugget and Minerva excitedly gave all their ingredients to Auntie as they gathered them, excited to bake a pie with her. As they set the ingredients on the counter, Auntie patted them on their heads and asked them to wash their paws. The two pokemon did as asked, before the little old appletun handed them both some aprons. Nugget had a struggle with tying his, but Minerva helped him out before tying her own.

“Now, have either of you baked a pie before?” Auntie asked.

“No…but I’ve made potions lots of times!” Minerva said proudly, beaming.

“I don’t know how to cook…” Nugget mumbled embarrassed, his ears turning back as he looked away.

“Well…” Auntie said, having the patience of a saint. “Pie baking is a little like making potions. I’ll teach you.” she assured the two. “First, we make the crust.”

So Auntie brought out her cookbook, and explained to the two how a pie crust is made. The little pokemon looked excited to learn, and hung on every word Auntie told them. Gathering the things they needed from around the kitchen, they added them to the bowl. Although there was a bit of a mishap with the flour, as Nugget accidentally dropped the bag. Flour puffed out from the bag and onto his face, making it completely white, and causing him to sneeze. Minerva couldn’t help but laugh, although she did get a small lecture from Auntie that it isn’t nice to laugh at others.

While Nugget went and cleaned up, the two women stayed in the kitchen and mixed all the ingredients together. When the little nickit came back, the two were nearly done. He felt a little left out, but Auntie assured him it was alright. He’d have the chance to roll the dough in a bit. They had to let the crust sit in the cooler for a little while. In the meantime, the three took a break to have some tea.

When a few hours had passed, the crust was ready to be rolled. Auntie and Nugget each had some dough to roll (Auntie had made the crust for the bottom the day before), while Minerva cut up and mixed all the pie ingredients together. There was rhubarb for the flavor, apricot berries for a blue or green color, curled bean pod paste for a vanilla smell, and marshmallow root for charm. Minerva was happy to put in the work of mixing the things together, occasionally checking in on Auntie and Nugget.

“Alright, are you two ready?” Auntie asked, after placing the bottom crust in her pir pan.

“Yeah!” Minerva nodded excitedly.

“Pie, pie, pie, pie!” Nugget danced around in a circle, just as excited, making Auntie chuckle.

“Alright, alright.” she smiled at the two. “What should the top look like?” she asked.
“A pumpkin!” Minerva’s eyes sparkled.

“Yeah, yeah!” Nugget agreed.

“Alright, a pumpkin it is.” Auntie nodded, and cut out a jack-o-lantern type face for the top of the pie. She then gently placed it on the top of their pie, with the two watching in fascination. All that was left to do was pop in the oven and wait.

Choice of Ingredient(s): Charm - Chopple Berry
Prompt(s):
[157 words]

Hide from Earl? The very notion was absurd, given his knack for hiding, he could sniff out any possible spot. He travelled to the mountain path, saving his energy to teleport later on.

"Miss Buneary?" he called out, sending psychic waves as he spoke. He picked something up from further along the trail, and began his journey. He called out every few feet, always sensing something just out of sight. When he detected difficult terrain ahead, he teleported ahead, stopping just in front of the Buneary.

She jumped, ready to burrow underground, but Earl froze her with his powers. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you!" he said, and lowered her. "Auntie sent me, she said you had Chopple Berries?"

"Oh-of course," she said, digging through her thick fur and pulling one out. "Tell her I said hi!"

Earl agreed and teleported back to Auntie's home. Now all he needed to do was bake the pie.

Choice of Ingredient(s) Charm - Chopple Berry
Prompt(s):
This time, Basil was confident they'd be able to convince this pokemon to give over the ingredient - last time had been just a little embarrassing. Not only were they totally familiar with Bunearies, but they'd also left Wisp behind at Auntie's. They were... probably a bit too scary for this little mission.

Trekking up the mountains was its own entire problem, though, and they weren't having the most fun doing it all alone. Plus that chill mountain breeze... if they didn't find that Buneary soon, they were just going to have to take a break to bask in the sun for a while. They were getting pretty cold and hungry up here.

But, just as they were about to call it quits for an hour, they saw quick movement up ahead. They perked up immediately - that could be her! Or something that wanted to eat them, but at least a fight or a chase would warm them up a little.

Cautiously, since rampaging over probably wouldn't help either way, they crept over to the rock the flash had disappeared behind. Hopefully, if this was the Buneary, she didn't think they were here to eat her.

"Hey there." They called out gently, trying to peer behind the rock without getting too close. "I'm sorry if I scared you. I'm just looking for some Chopple Berry? If you have some?"

They kept still for a few moments, hoping the Buneary would come out and it was actually her and she'd happily hand over the berries. But nobody came, and Basil was beginning to wonder if there was actually anyone behind that rock at all. At least Wisp wasn't here to see them talking to a rock.

Basil kept waiting and waiting by the rock - they didn't want to SCARE her - but sitting completely still on the rough surface of the mountain was not doing any favours for their cold fur. They debated just walking over to the rock and confronting whoever was there, but...

"...If you've got those berries, I'll just be nearby. I need some sun before my paws freeze off." They called over, hesitating for a moment to see if anyone would come out.

When nobody did, they trotted off to find a sunnier, smoother rock to lay on for a while. Food, warmth, maybe a nap... and then hopefully get that berry.

When they awoke, they nearly fell clear off the rock and tumbled down the entire mountain - the Buneary was standing right there, watching them snooze away.

"Um." They blinked, trying to wake up faster. "Hello there."

The Buneary's nose twitched, and she offered a shy smile. "Hello! I'm sorry for ignoring you earlier... I just get a little nervous around strangers."

"Oh, yeah, no worries." Basil waved a paw, internally cheering. She HAD been behind that rock, then.

"You were looking for some Chopple Berry?" The Buneary tipped her head, ruffling a paw through her thick curly fur. "I have plenty, if you still need some."

Basil's ears perked. "Oh, yes! That would be great, if you wouldn't mind."

"Of course not!" She smiled, handing over a small pawful of berries - probably about two or three, but Basil assumed that would be enough. They didn't need the pie to be THAT hot.

They fumbled the berries into their own, less dexterous paws and into the small bag Auntie had provided them. Just having them there in the bag was already warming them up even better than their sunbathing had.

"Well, thank you very much." They smiled at the Buneary, getting to their paws. "Is there anything I could do in return, or...?"

The Buneary rapidly tapped her foot for a moment, thinking it over. But she shook her head, smiling.

"Oh, no, I give these away all the time!" She twitched an ear, her smile becoming a tad more nervous. "But thank you for not rushing after me or anything. I know it was probably a little frustrating to wait, but... I appreciate it."

Thank Arceus Wisp wasn't here. "Of course! I wouldn't want you getting uncomfortable over a few little berries."

Basil hopped off the rock, shooting her a smile. "But, ah, if we're done here... this mountain is freezing."

The Buneary laughed a little, nose twitching with amusement rather than nerves this time. "Oh, yes, it's not for everyone. Have a safe walk home!"

Basil thanked her and they exchanged their goodbyes, the Buneary hopping off to continue with the rest of her day while Basil started heading back down the mountain. It had actually been easier than they'd expected, getting the berries - it had probably taken them longer to get here than to convince her to give them some, even with their little nap.

And the trek back would be a little long, too, but... well, at least they could rub it in Wisp's muzzle that they totally HADN'T needed to give that little bunny a huge blade in exchange for those berries, like they'd tried to tell them a hundred times. Not all Bunearies were like that. And show them the berries, too - but mostly the they were totally right the whole time thing.

Choice of Ingredients:
Flavor: Rhubarb
Color: Sattreon
Aroma: Gold Fruit
Charm:Gracidea Flower
Bake!:[500]

“Auntie, Auntie!! I have all the ingredients!!” Zander exclaimed as he bursted through the front door, looking proud. He walked up to the little coffee table and presented his prizes.

“I see! Well let’s get to baking that pie little one.” Auntie said kindly, setting up a stool for him to reach up the counter. He hopped over ontop of the stool, looking curiously at all the items and bowls laid out.

“So what do I do to start?” The zorua said, looking up at Auntie.

“First we’ll mix the dry ingredients together.” She stood beside the curious little zorua as he started mixing the flour and sugar together. She pushed a mortar and pestle over to him.

“Now let’s ground up the gold fruit to add to the crust.” She said, placing the mineral into the mortar. Zander picked up the pestle and starting smashing the mineral, crunching it up into a fine powder to add to the dry ingredients.

“Perfect! Let’s add in the wet ingredients now and mix them together.”

Together, with Zander carefully stirring and Auntie adding the ingredients, they made the pie crust. Zander felt like he was starting to like cooking! Until Auntie said the pie crust needed to chill for at least an hour or so.

“But while it is chilling, we can start on the meat of the pie so to speak~ Hoho~” She said at the shocked zorua. He perked back up and grabbed the rest of the ingredients.

“Go ahead and now crush your flowers together and pour them into the bowl for the filling.”

Zander grabbed the sattreon and gracidea flowers, placing them happily into the mortar and grinding them up nicely. This part was really fun for him, like a little chaotic mess. That’s what Wander usually called him when he stepped in the kitchen with the HC flareon. That’s why Wander did most of the cooking. This would be Zander first desert that he made! So it had to turn out great, of course!

With Auntie’s instructions, he mixed the chopped up rhubarb in with the powdered sattreon and gracidea, mixing in some brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. He mixed them all together, the rhubarb being the flavor to come out on top. And after waiting for the pie crust to finish chilling(he ended up being so bored of waiting he sneakily rearranged two cabinets of Auntie’s), Auntie pulled out the pie bowl and he put the crust in first, making it nicely fit in the mold. Then he spooned out the filling and placed it inside the crust. Finally, he cut up the strips of leftover pie crust to place in a spiderweb patter over top of the pie.

“Well done! Now all that’s left is for it to cook! You did great, Zander.” Auntie said, placing the pie in the over to cook. Zander perked up happily and plopped down in front of the oven to watch his pie cook. Hopefully it’ll be amazing.
