The garden on the Dragomir property was just getting started, but Josh was quite enjoying this new little endeavor. Still, growing berries meant that sometimes, Pokemon that didn't belong to them popped in at times. Cases like these, for example. In this case, Josh had been coming along to pick the berries when he noticed that a strange Pokemon was floating about, dancing along and whirling around petals... He didn't mind, until they sliced one of his plants. Knowing something would need to be done, he called to the creature. It would send out a Magical Leaf, but Josh sidestepped it and moved forward gingerly.

"I don't mind your dance, but do you mind not doing so as close to the flowers?" He inquired gently. The gentleness of his question caught the Pokemon's attention, and it stopped. "Tell you what... If you like this garden so much, why don't you stay here? I can show you where you can view the garden without damaging it. What do you say?" He inquired, as he held out a hand.

Also making a note here to say I've picked the berries that grew on the 5th.

2 Tamato Berries = 4 Pokeballs. Letting them regrow.

Josh is keeping his word and placing Floette in the third garden slot.

Taking the two Tamato Berries that were ready on the 19th, letting them keep growing

Floette has evolved into Florges and been removed from the slot!

Josh had just arrived to pick up the harvest of Tamato Berries that had been growing in the gardens near the house. He smiled softly as he noticed his Florges moving about the garden, now much more careful with their movements so as to not harm the plants it was guarding. Though when he looked a bit closer, he noticed something had nestled itself next to one of the plants, seeming to be there to rest, possibly take a nap. When he edged a bit closer though, he realized what it was...

"Trooper?"

He hadn't been told that they had brought his Crawdaunt over from the old ranch. He slowly made his way over, holding out a hand, wary as to if the Crawdaunt might not be his and would lash out. It looked like it had been in a battle recently, which might explain why the call had been made to send it back here in hopes Josh could settle it down. Josh stopped with his hand just a few inches from the Crawdaunt, as the large crab opened its eyes and stared up at him a moment.

"Crawdaunt?"

The Crawdaunt held out its claw, and then let it rest against Josh's hand. He smiled softly. It was Trooper, indeed.

"It's good to see you again, old friend."

"Oh no buddy, you are not getting these"

"ELECTABOODODSEPOFREGORETGPTRESGJTR!"

"They're not yours. Please back away from the-"

Josh moved to the side when he sensed the Thunderbolt coming. His hair spiked upwards a bit with how close it was and how little Josh had actually moved, but it didn't seem to bother him. He was an old professional at this whole song and dance, so these sorts of outbursts were expected and he was ready for them. He would pull out a bit of Pokemon food instead, which he usually kept with him in a bottle just in case.

"Try these. They're personally made for your typing" He would speak gently as he slowly, carefully made his way over. Electabuzz seemed primed to attack at first, but as Josh reached out with the food, it seemed to get the hint and grabbed a fistful. Shoving it into its mouth, it would back up, stunned from the taste. Josh made a motion behind his back for Lightning, his Raichu, to pick the berries while he was doing this. He would sit down and motion for Electabuzz to follow as he held out a bit more.
