GARDEN INFORMATION[break][break]

[break][break]

Somewhere, not too far beyond the Fortree city limits, is a grove. Most people think of it as just another place that looks like it’s been overrun by weeds and smelling like foul swamp water, but the truth of the matter is it begs to differ from everything else.[break][break]

Tended by two individuals whose paths never seem to cross, the place is a little corner of nature where a small patch of giant sunflowers can be spotted growing not too far away from berry plots. While there’s a second patch of ground not too far from the sunflowers that looks like it’s been planted in recently, nobody knows when or what would be blooming out of this patch, so it’s just the tall giants whose heads chase the sun are prominently seen.[break][break]

As of late though, there have been sightings of a young individual coming by in the dead of night—doing his part by watering the sunflower and growing tulip patches. He’s gone before dawn breaks, though, so whenever the other two come by the garden, they’re surprised to see that the ground around their flowers is damp and the flowers look much brighter than they did the day before.[break][break]

There’s a pond not too far away from where four fresh patches of dirt can be seen, freshly plowed and planted on. Although one of the four patches looks like it’s uninhabited, don’t be fooled—there’s a Grass-type that always comes by to tend to the dirt patches every so often.[break][break][break][break]

THE BERRY PATCHES[break][break]


[break][break]

GARDEN GUARD » The current guard of the garden is a female Sunflora. This time, the Grass-type is Alexei’s, happy to tend to the growing Berries and living a peaceful life outside battle.[break][break]

PLOT #2 » An oddity that allows a singular burst of power, equally wondrous and terrifying. Ready to be harvested September 4, planted July 10.[break][break]

PLOT #3 » An oddity that allows the bending of misfortune to something hopefully favorable. Ready to be harvested August 7, planted July 10.[break][break]

PLOT #4 » An oddity that allows the bending of misfortune to something hopefully favorable. Ready to be harvested August 7, planted July 10.[break][break]

It was the shocked cry of the Bayleef that had drawn the attention of a passing Noivern, flying not too far away from where the gardens were blooming. Having spotted the herd of incoming Beedrill, the draconid/avian Pokémon could only look on in silent shock, seeing the Grass-type trying to bat them away and stop them from coming in and attacking the blooming…[break][break]

…Berries.[break][break]

No wonder the annoying Beedrill were going nuts. Sighing, as he knew that the Grass-type was seriously outnumbered, the Noivern banked sharply in mid-air and flew towards the garden, unleashing an Air Slash at the first incoming wave of dual-types.[break][break]

Down on the ground, the harassed-looking Grass-type looked up in silent shock to see that there was another Pokémon that had swooped in to help, and she was very much grateful. Why she couldn’t attack them, only to realize that her own typing was a danger against the Beedrill, well…[break][break]

Anyway, with the first Air Slash down, it drove back one wave—yet there was another incoming horde! Hissing out of annoyance, the Flying/Dragon-type then sped itself up with Agility, drawing the second wave away from the blooming berry plants—causing them to give chase to him instead.[break][break]

Darting through the air, away from the plants, the Noivern concentrated before letting rip a powerful Boomburst shock wave, aimed right at the second—and possibly third wave of Beedrill that were looking to pin it down with a concentrated Pin Missile attack coming from several directions.[break][break]

Not content, the third wave renewed their efforts and tried to come down on the Noivern with a simultaneous Fell Stinger attempt—only to get caught up in a point-blank Hurricane that ripped through the front of the garden, sweeping up most of the Beedrill and driving them away.[break][break]

Well, all except one.[break][break]

One of the Beedrill, not wanting to give up the chance to get some Berries, continued through the onslaught—and with another well-timed Poison Jab, sought to strike the Noivern down. The two tangoed in the air, fighting and squabbling—and it doesn’t take too long for the sounds of battle to draw notice.[break][break]

Which does send one of the two ‘owners’ of the little grove running, wondering what’s causing the commotion. As Alexei arrives, the Noivern has smacked down the Beedrill with one last Air Slash, causing it to land right at the Gym Leader’s feet as some sort of offering.[break][break]

“Are you—“ he began in silent wonder, looking at the Noivern as it continued to hover through the air, before coming down for a landing. Seeing that the Bayleef was mostly unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.[break][break]

“You drove off these suckers?” he asked, gesturing at the lone Beedrill. Getting a nod in return, he quickly fished around his jacket, pulling out one extra Pokéball he didn’t know he still had with him, dropping it unceremoniously on the Beedrill’s head and watching as it was consumed by the beam of red light.[break][break]

“…what about you? Are you leaving?” he asked as the Pokéball clattered to the ground. Returning his attention back to the Noivern.[break][break]

A shake of the head is what he gets in response.[break][break]

“Are you… going to—to stay? With me? he continues, still mystified.[break][break]

He gets a nod in answer.

SWELLOW
FEMALE - SCRAPPY
pluck / brave bird / agility / thief / focus energy / reversal

this swellow is not necessarily targeting your berries. no, instead it sees its prey weaving in and out of the plants. the swellow dives, hoping to nab food within its sharp beak, but in the process, tears into some of the plants.


further damage will occur lest you protect your plot!

This time, it’s pure chance that Alexei’s around the garden, feeding the Sunflora some fertilizer when he hears the shrill beating of wings. A few seconds later, a loud cawing noise announces its presence, and the Sunflora picks up on it a few seconds too late—there’s another invader in the garden![break][break]

“Oh, come on!” he says with a groan, looking up and seeing that this time, it’s a Swellow who’s causing torment around the garden. “Shh, don’t panic, I know someone will handle this,” and with a quick sweeping motion, reaches into his shirt and pulls out a thin whistle.[break][break]

One low note later, a loud screeching from not too far away announces its presence. “Fen, take care of the invader. But don’t kill it. I want her for the gym,” he says as he returns to calming down the panicky Sunflora. The moment the Noivern spots the weaving shadow, he makes to follow, a looming shadow overhead. Not until the Swellow looks up does it let out a panicked caw, seeing the Noivern bearing down on it like an oversized fighter craft.[break][break]

At the same time the Noivern leers down at the Swellow, whatever the Swellow was chasing manages to get away—as its predator was caught by an even bigger one. One derisive snort later, the Noivern closes the distance with an Agility before releasing a point-blank Dragon Pulse in the Swellow’s face.[break][break]

One loud shrieking caw later, the Swellow tries to counter with a Reversal, however another Agility caused the Noivern to chase the other out of the way, luring it away from the garden. Several more tense moments later, the Noivern returns and drops a defeated Swellow at his companion’s feet.[break][break]

“Aw, you shouldn’t have,” Alexei said with a bit of a grin, patting the Noivern’s head before dropping an empty Pokéball atop the Swellow’s head. “Pretty sure she’ll be a good fighter for the gym, too.”

SLURRRRRRRRRRRP! a lickilicky makes its gluttonous presence known with a whip of its boundless tongue. although a rare sight, it is common for these pokemon to live near fortree, for they enjoy the rich groves of trees and refreshing bodies of water.[break][break]today, this pokemon hungers for sustenance- even a crumb or morsel. however, once it stumbles upon your plot of custaps, the rotund creature's eyes grow as wide as its belly... chow time.[break][break]

begone thot

This time, Lars was around the strange little hamlet of a garden. He’d been curious as to where Moriaen had gone off to previously and once he’d confirmed with the Meganium it was this place, he decided to check it out. While he knew he was in occasional contact with the other person who maintained the garden, he wasn’t expecting to find a Sunflora tending to the Berries he’d planted, and he thought it was a nice gesture.

Once he’d laid enough fertilizer around the Sunflora’s patch, he was about to leave the place when he thought he caught sight of a blur of pink headed towards the garden—right towards the two patches where he’d planted the Custap Berries not too long ago.

“Oi, you little—“ he began, reaching into his overcoat pocket and pulling out a scratched Moon Ball, before flicking it forward and watching as his Lucario emerged. “Alph, handle that thing, and steer clear of the tongue! That looks—really disgusting, he adds a few moments later with a cringe on his features as the Lickilicky charges forward, tongue waving in the wind like some kind of a demented banner.

Watching as the strange pink Pokémon reared back with a Power Whip attack, the Lucario watched, and waited—timing the impact of the attack just right with a one-two Counter shove attack. The dual-type aimed to throw the Lickilicky off-balance, before quickly closing the distance with a second one-two Force Palm strike.

While Lars continued to keep his distance and tried to comfort the distressed Sunflora, the Lucario conjured up an orb of energy, right before the Lickilicky could continue its assault with Rollout, it had been smacked right in the head with a powerful Aura Sphere attack, thrown like an aerial bowling ball.

“Ooh, nasty,” Lars added a few moments later, trying his hardest not to cringe at the sight of the Lickilicky, now drunk as it tried to get up again—before a second Aura Sphere connected and attempted to send it packing out of the garden.



Repelling the Lickilicky!

AW HOW CUTE! this vulpix has survived by her adorable presentation which hides her fiery personality. should one underestimate this fox, they would find that she is more bite than bark. more flame than smolder. her presence in your garden increases the risk of an all-out blaze considering her pyromaniac tendencies.[break][break]

Lars be catching da Vulpix

It was pure luck Lars had decided to visit the garden today. He was keeping an eye on some tulip bulbs he’d planted near the sunflower patch, and idly wondered if his Gym Leader contact was busy—it had been a while since the place had seen some action.

Maybe it was divine providence he was here, because he caught sight of a Vulpix. Not unlike the one he’d managed to catch previously, this one was the standard red-and-brown one (Rijm was the Alolan variant, whatever that meant) and it was causing a ruckus.

Quickly sending out Alpha, he points at the Vulpix.

“Corner her. Keep her away from the plants. I don’t know why, but she screams ‘bad news’ to me. And for that we’re going to try and take her in. I don’t know. Just… go, he says, sighing.

A sudden burst of Flamethrower comes from the Fire-type’s maw, and the Lucario has to act fast—before the strong stream of fire can reach the plants, a sudden sphere of energy knocks the Vulpix off-balance. The Lucario had launched an Aura Sphere, homing in on the little Fire-type.

Turning around on the spot, the Vulpix then lets rip with an Extrasensory attack, and the wave of unseen energy ripples through the air—catching the Lucario off-guard. “Careful!” Lars calls out, as the Lucario is cauight off-guard, almost forced to his knees even.

Well, she’s a fighter? That’s unusual, he thinks to himself, searching his pockets for one Pokéball and getting ready to throw it. As the Vulpix prepares another Extrasensory the Lucario leaps into action, cutting across with a Copycat technique, heading off the Fire-type with its own attack.

Seeing that it was distracted, the dual-type closes the distance and quickly slams into it with a one-two Force Palm strike, before sending an Aura Sphere at it, aiming it deliberately so it landed right at Lars’s feet.

“Well, that’s that,” he says with a bit of a grin as he drops the Pokéball on the Vulpix’s form.
