[@Remram][@Joshua Tamashii] Heather smiled happily at him for making that decision, and then gestured to follow her. [color=bbfb73]‘Let’s find you a plot~’[/color] she said. After a short bit of walking, along the way her Cherubi was dancing among their feet, she presented a plot. The plots of this garden were small squares of limited space, each allotted to one tree, and there were rows upon rows of these plots. Heather had intentionally wandered to an area where there weren’t a lot of other used plots, and gestured for an empty plot in the middle of it. [color=bbfb73]‘Let me show you. Here, take these,’[/color] she said, handing him a bag and a small shovel. The bag was a brown bag with a fancy label on the front, introducing it as the Amaze Mulch. [color=bbfb73]‘Do you want to try, too?’[/color] she asked Amelia, holding out a piece of Growth Mulch and an Oran Berry, just happy to potentially share the glory of planting. But, in case they were willing to try it out, Heather picked a plot to show how it is done. [color=bbfb73]‘First, make sure the soil is not completely dry. It should be just a bit moist. If it isn’t, use the Swanna Pail to make it a bit wetter,’[/color] Heather said, and put her finger into the soil, past the surface, and upon an evaluation grabbed her own can and spilled some water into it. [color=bbfb73]‘Secondly, if you are using mulch, apply a layer of it above the soil. It protects the soil from having its water evaporate, plus whatever other effects particular mulches have. A spade should suffice at a small scale like this,’[/color] she said, pouring out the mulch on the plot and then using a small spade to spread it evenly. [color=bbfb73]‘Then, plant the berry! Now, if you’re growing anything else, you probably want to make sure the plant is growing before applying the mulch, but Berries are strong little things that actually grow better if it’s done first. So, here we go,’[/color] she said, using her spade to create an opening to put the Rawst Berry she was using as an example into the soil, before then covering it again. [color=bbfb73]‘Then simply make sure it is watered! Regularly, you’ll want your berries watered around every 24 hours, but then you should have your berries ready to be picked in around four days! They grow that fast! With a Growth Mulch, they’ll be done in just two!’[/color] she happily hummed as she watered it again. [color=bbfb73]‘And that should do it. Of course, you used an Amaze Mulch, meaning you don’t need to water it, the resulting berries will not fall off, and more.’[/color] So, did Basil go ahead and follow the procedure to plant the berry? Since he did... Eventually, the berry was planted, and the procedure was done. With that, Heather gently clapped for his progress. [color=bbfb73]‘Of course, we won’t see the result of the berry you’ve planted until in a couple of days. However, I would be happy to look after it until the time comes. After we’ve obtained a few more of the berries, we can start conducting tests to see how they affect Pokémon that eat them! It is truly exciting. May I ask how you obtained these berries? It is awfully rare that new ones appear like this…’[/color] Heather kept talking, but… Where Heather wasn’t looking, the plant in the soil Basil had just planted was already poking out the soil. In fact, it was still growing. It was slowly growing in height, yet compared to the usual speed plants grew with it was [i]tremendously[/i] fast. It was, in fact, growing into a splendid tree in a very short amount of time. Two branches emerged to the left and right, before they crossed in front of it. They suddenly resembled a pair of crossed arms. Then, the green leaves emerged, and… it perfectly recreated Landorus’ “hair” and mustache in green, making the plant into a standing living statue of the legendary Pokémon. [color=bbfb73]‘What…’[/color] Heather looked over with a stunned expression, when a pulse emitted from the tree. It coursed through the ground past where they were standing, across the garden. For a second, there was nothing. Then… other plants started growing, at pretty much the same speed that the tree before them had grown. Incomplete Berry Trees grew to full bloom. Withered plants regained their vigor. Berries sprouted. On those that already had berries, the amount of berries increased. And, some of the berries that grew were becoming absolutely massive. [color=bbfb73]‘Oh, my,’[/color] Heather gently expressed, as around them was now an utterly complete garden with many, many types of berries around this tree that stood like a monument to the one they’d received the berry from. Across the garden there were confused visitors and staff alike, because all the plants suddenly sprouting at once like this was definitely unnatural. However, notably, the tree itself did not appear to carry any berries of its own. If Amelia planted that plant she’d been offered, that included that one, of course. [color=bbfb73]‘It would seem we have some harvesting to do,’[/color] Heather noted, turning towards the plant that had grown from where Basil planted it. [color=bbfb73]‘That… resembles Landorus, the Guardian of the Fields and god of harvest. What exactly did you plant?’[/color] she asked, a hand placed on her chin. [color=e04f4f]‘Er…’[/color] Anise, meanwhile, was looking towards Basil looking like she was wondering if he was going to explain this, or whatever the plan was supposed to be. Oh, and the feast was attracting some Pokémon. Like a big all-eater, numerous sloths dragging themselves towards the trees, numerous green and numerous pink monkeys, in addition to a couple small eggs bouncing in from somewhere. There seemed to be a couple trees that were there specifically for these wild Pokémon.

It consumes its own body-weight in food every day. The excess is stored within its long body-hair, although it often forgets it has hidden food there. It energetically seeks things to eat, swallowing it whole and often without chewing. Its stomach is sturdy enough to handle anything even remotely edible, even if it’s rotten.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Slakoth_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/NleiVev.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #287 – Slakoth, the Slacker Pokémon. I sleeps for 20 hours a day and are hardly ever seen in motion. Very efficient on energy, they subsist on three leaves a day and their heart beats only once a minute. Just looking at one makes one drowsy, so they’re sometimes prescribed against insomnia.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pansage_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/CkeNTkw.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #511 – Pansage, the Grass Monkey Pokémon. It lives deep inside forests. Eating a leaf from its head is known to whisk away weariness and relieve stress, and it’s happy to share. Any weary-looking Pokémon or human can count to be given one. It’s really good at searching for berries and other edible substances.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Aipom_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/YJS6MIV.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #190 – Aipom, the Long Tail Pokémon. It lives atop tall trees. Their long tail is very strong and strong enough to throw its own body-mass. They jump from tree to tree, hang from branches using their tail and pick berries with it. Because of overreliance on their tail, its actual arms are weak and very clumsy.[/i][/color][/center] [center][url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Exeggcute_(Pok%C3%A9mon)][img]https://i.imgur.com/E3ISNwW.png[/img][/url] [color=6ecff6][i]Pokédex Entry #102 – Exeggcute, the Egg Pokémon. While they look like eggs, they are actually more like plant seeds. Each Exeggcute consists of six individual seeds, who are telepathically linked to one another and can quickly regroup when separated. If attacked, they coordinate and swarm their opponent. The more cracked they are, the closer they are to evolution.[/i][/color][/center][/hider] What would they do now? [hider=Berry Garden options]1. Rent Soil. [i]300P for eight spots.[/i] 2.

The buildings are built around or in the trees of wood and stone, the light shining onto the village stifled by the great trees above. In the air, meeting your nose as soon as you tread into the village, is filled to the brim with the smell of forest and spores. It’s a wild smell, but somehow it is extremely relaxing and any worries seem to be stifled before the calming village ahead where everyone is always so calm and happy, wild Pokémon walking freely on the roads of the place. This is Stillwood Village, the most relaxing place imaginable, it’s people in touch with nature and wishing the best to all those who come to their cozy and ancient little home. Wild Grass Pokémon freely wander the streets, spreading their spores into the air which the townspeople actively walk through every single day. They are all smiles, very helpful, the entire village and all visitors afflicted by the relaxing sensations brought by the spores during their stay in Stillwood Village. However, these spores are the reason quite a few avoid Stillwood Village, arguing that it messes with one’s mind. It is extremely rare that a member of Stillwood Village moves out of the village, after all. It will also quickly become evident just how little the members of the village care about the world at large, all their worries gone by the relaxing spores and just continue living, no troubles in the slightest. That’s Stillwood Village for you.[/hider] [hider=Suggestions to actions, Stillwood Village]1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can still search for Pokémon in cities~[/i] 2. Talk.
