Day Twelve

Oh welcome back! Do get cozy~

Here's the last of them!
I've enjoyed spending baking time with you

I hope you've gathered ingredients
that resonate with you well~

Let's see if these last four interest you?

Don't fret if you want to relax today..
My "Auntie Bakery" will still be open tomorrow!
Even if the season for ingredients is passing..

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. Blackberries will add a berry taste to your pie! Now's your last chance to collect these juicy berries! Most of the bushes are at their sweetest right now! I have a wall of berries in the garden~ It's a bit overgrown... A secret from me to you, the berries higher in the bush are often the sweetest from what I've learned~ The only real challenge of blackberry picking.. is the picking itself! Mind the thorns, but I'll need a whole basket full. If you want to play it safe, just pick from the front without going deep into the thicket~

2. Inkay ink will add a deep black color to your pie! Inkay are quite friendly bundles of joy who love to play! It's very important not to spin them upside down though... You never know which ones have enough experience in the world to completely evolve! A Malamar can be quite dangerous especially if they evolve siddenly... As, you quite literally turn their whole worlds upside down! I feel a touch sad for them.. accidents sometimes happen. They may produce ink when happy or when afraid, just heed the warning would you? If afraid enough, one could accidentally flip itself or even flash you with its hypnosis! Don't want something like that to happen...

3. Frost leaf adds a minty aroma to your pie! Drampa has been complaining of frost leaf taking over his garden... He didn't put them in pots..~ You can knock out two goals in one by weeding his garden and bringing those unruly herbs back here for a refreshing scent for your pie! It freshens anything up and masks all sorts of odors! I'm sure he'd thank you for cleaning up his flower beds. Just make sure you actually pick the frost leaf... When in doubt! Give it a taste! It should give you a bit of a chill~ Hoo-hoo, don't worry he doesn't have anything inedible in his garden~

4. Dark Chocolate will add a mysterious charm to your pie! Have you ever seen a pie that just upped it's cool factor by having a curl of dark chocolate resting delicately on top? I think it makes pies have a little extra something to keep people wondering~ "Auntie why is there chocolate on the pie" Why indeed! Hee-hoo! Quite charming indeed~ Now, there's a very special place to get chocolate so high quality that it radiates mysterious vibes... Knock three times on the back door behind the pastry shop on the main road in town. You'll have to pass a little test, so act cool and mysterious~ Hee-hee, only joking..~ Don't worry about the cold looking sneasel who answers... In reality she's just a cute little cupcake baker who likes to wear a leather jacket. We used to play cards together. We've been playing this game for years and it truly is quite amusing to feel so secretive! She's actually quite kind so it's alright if you get nervous~ She will only play along with the act if you do. Tell her Auntie sent you to pick up some chocolate!

What will you choose?

Choice of Ingredients: Flavor - Apples/Color - Pinkan Berry/Aroma - Tropic Blooms/Charm - Gracidea Flower
Bake!: (562 words) Uno, Fruity with mentions of Blossom and Dollie

"Auntie Appletun!!" Uno bounced into the cabin. "We finally have everything we need to make the pie!" He grinned,
Auntie Appletun looked up from her book she was reading and got up, checking a list over. "Oh my, you do. You have such cute ingredients too..." She smiled softly. "Are you ready to bake it then?" She asked, looking down at the small eevee.
Uno nodded. "Me and my momma are making this pie for my sister and my other mommy!!" Uno wagged his tail. "Blossom is gonna love it!"
Fruity gently laughed. "Don't forget about Dollie too there Uno."
Uno grinned. "Mommy will love it too! I was so sad they couldn't come...."
"Oh my... What a sweet thing to do." Auntie Appletun said, getting out their ingredients. Apples... Oh the apples are gonna taste wonderful in this pie!" She smiled. "I'll cut these up for the two of you when you make the pie crust okay?" She replied. "Getting out some fresh dough for them. "There you go, All you need to do is to spread it out and throw it in the oven for me. It's still warm from the pies I made earlier."
Uno nodded. "Okay!" He grinned and with help from his mom, they both spread out the pie crust and put it in the oven for a moment so it was slightly cooked. Fruity carefully took it out. "Auntie! The pie crust is ready!" Uno grinned as Auntie Appletun turned to them. "That's great sweeties... I added your color in with the apples too... A nice Pinkan Berry huh? It's gonna be such a lovely shade of pink." She giggled. "I didn't forget the Tropic Blooms either. I bet they'll love this pie." She smiled, filling the pie crust with the mixture. "Now, the leftover dough on the top and I'll throw it in the oven." She said, watching as the son and mom duo spread more pie crust over the top of the pie. "That looks wonderful!" Auntie Appletun praised them as she cut a pattern into the pie top, it looked like a flower. "I made a flower pattern for the pie crust top..." She informed them.
"That's perfect for Blossom!" Uno grinned as he watched Auntie put the pie into the oven. "It's going to take a little bit to cook, would you like to read in the living room with me?" Auntie Appletun asked, setting a timer.
Uno nodded. "I love to read!" He followed Auntie Appletun and his mother into the living room. Fruity read a book to Uno to pass the time and before they knew it the timer Auntie set was ringing.
"Oh my, the pie is done." Auntie Appletun got up and went into the kitchen, the mom and son duo following close behind her. Auntie Appletun got the pie out of the oven and set it on the window. "It's gonna take a little bit to cool down." Auntie informed them, as she gently set the Gracidea Flower on top of the pie. "But after it's done, I'll package it up and you can take it straight to your sister and mom okay?" Auntie said to Uno.
Uno nodded, carefully watching the pie. "Okay!! Thank you Auntie!" He grinned, He couldn't wait to take the pie to his sister and other mom to share it with them!

Choice of Ingredient(s): Claiming all 4
Flavor-Blackberries /Color-Inkay ink /Aroma-Frost leaf/Charm-Dark Chocolate
Prompt(s):
Dinky giggled, happily bouncing in, as they started to collect the blackberries from the bush, grabbing the ones that are a little higher, as auntie had said that they would possibly be a lot more sweater then the ones on the bottom, their tail wagging as they placed the blackberries into the basket. Next up on the list was inkay ink, ooo how sticky! Dinky giggled, as they bounced off happily, carrying the basket in their mouth as they soon came across a inkay. "Hey!" They waved, which the inkay waved back, staring at dinky curiously. "What time to do you to the dentist?" They asked, a bright smile on their face, "uhh, 9am?" the inkay responded, quite confused. "Tooth hurty! Get it?" They giggled, which had ended up with the inkay happily giggling, ink appearing, which dinky happily collected with a bottle. "Alright, i have to go! Have a great rest of the night!" They giggled, happily bouncing off, next was frost leaves ! As they happily went to drampa's garden, happily taking as much frost leaves as they needed, helping drampa's garden. Once they finished, they placed the leaves into the basket, and bouncing back to aunties, on their way back, they quickly grabbed a bar of dark chocolate,placing it in the basket, as they finally made it to aunties home. They happily went in, climbing up onto a chair to the counter, as they placed the basket on the counter. "All done!" They giggled, giving auntie a great big smile, as auntie clapped her hands happily. "Good job dearie, now it seems like you're ready to make your pie!"

Choice of Ingredient(s): Flavor - blackberries/Color - inkay ink
Prompt(s):

at this point, they two were practically putting anything they could find outside into the pie, not wanting to travel far. as the siblings wandered around some more, they came across a blackberry bush. this would actually make for a nice ingredient for the pie (unfortunately for finn). cora was already ripping berries off the bushes and eating them for herself, which gave finn the task of picking the berries for the pie. hopefully they could find sour ones.

seems like cora found an inkay friend near aunties house! they shared some nice blackberries that cora had left over :]

Choice of Ingredient(s): Color (Inkay Ink)
Prompt(s): 107 words
Tomato's very first idea was to scare the Inkay to get some ink, but their googly eyes made it impossible right off the bat as the other pokemon couldn't take them fully seriously. So, instead, they started tossing up Inkays in the air or chasing them as a sort of game, getting shrills and laughter from them, and some glares from Malamar who weren't too sure how safe that was. And of course, they got a small amount of ink spit in their face a few times, and they scooped it to put it safely into a small jar, hoping it didn't stain their yarn skin too much.

choice of ingredient : inkay ink
prompt :
primrose visually scrolled through the final catalog of ingredients before settling on the black color with satisfaction ; she’d been secretly hoping for it . glam alerted auntie of glamour decision before eagerly trotting out , ready to conquer this quest . where to find an inkay . . .
once more carrying her nose to the sky , primrose takes in all the surrounding aromas . a light hint of freshwater entered a nostril . inkay like to chill in water , right ? i’d assume so — worth a shot . the prim and proper poochyena set off in the direction of the nearby lake . the smell of freshwater and sodden biodiversity grew stronger ; glam pushed through some greenery and came upon a lake . the grass beneath her paws was especially soft and waxy here .
in the distance , aquatic pokemon giggled and splashed at one another ; others floated about , basking in the sunlight . looking deeper beneath the surface , glowing spots were observed by primrose’s eyes . they restlessly zoomed around , deeper and then near the surface , back down and then up again . exactly what the poochyena had been searching for .
after a minute or two , one set of glowing spots diverged from the others toward the lake’s edge . they allowed themself to float upward and bobble and spin on the water’s surface . primrose took the chance to saunter towards the small inkay ; they stopped spinning once they noticed the gray pup approaching . nervousness entered their large eyes . primrose stopped short about five feet from the small creature .
“ hello , “ glam whistled in the friendliest tone she could muster . the inkay’s eyes remained wide .
“ hhi . “ their voice was wobbly and uncertain . primrose softened glamour gaze .
“ how are ya ? “
“ i’m okay . . “ they replied slowly .
“ that’s good ! whaddaya like to do , cutie ? “ the poochyena asked , trying to make casual small talk . the inkay’s spots flared up for a moment before an ink puddle flowed from their position .
“ c . cutie ? “ they squeaked the word numerous times . primrose chuckled nervously ; have i broken the creature ?
eventually , they simmered down . the pup collected the ink , but stayed for a little while to chatter with the inkay . a new pal (:

Day: 12
Choice of Ingredient(s): Flavor
Prompt(s):

Basilisk stands at the ground before the overgrown blackberry bushes in Auntie's garden and takes a deep, grounding breath. In his mind, he lays out the pros and cons of the situation.

Pros: I can fly easily up to the top, can move swiftly between the branches/leaves, and have good enough eye-to-beak coordination to toss down berries accurately into the basket.

Cons: I'm just a little guy so carrying the basket back is going to be a struggle unless I get some help, and there are approximately ten million thorns within.

Making up his mind and dangerously determined to get the job done quickly, Bass flies up to the peak of the bush and braces himself. Then braces himself again. Then decides getting the berries from the outside of the bush is smarter, tossing those first ten or so down into the basket, filling maybe a third of it. Once that's done, he toughens up for real and darts right into the blackberry bush. Immediately, he is pricked from at least twelve different directions, which is just ridiculous. Complaining and muttering variations of ouch and youch under his breath, Basilisk picks and throws a surprising number of berries from the bush. Auntie Appleton was not lying about the sweetness level of these berries, and Bass is thankful he has a beak and not teeth as he grasps one berry too hard and the sugary flavor bursts in his mouth.

Within minutes, Basilisk has a full basket. Emerging from the greenery covered in small, irritating thorns, Bass lands on the handle of his full, borrowed basket and groans with his eyes set heavenward as he realizes the arduous journey ahead of him. [282 words]
