Where in the fresh hell were all the Pokemon? Just what sort of unholy ground had he stumbled upon? The only time he had ever seen place devoid of Pokemon was the entrance to Hydreigon's cave. Basil was certainly not the only one to feel it; he glanced down to Stella who made a noise of disapproval and didn't wish to continue another step. With a reassuring smile he said, [color=8493ca]"It's okay. If anything happens, you can rely on me."[/color] before he pushed the door open and walked inside, after letting Stella enter first of course. Once inside he saw all of the herbs lined up neatly in jars with signs giving him the hardest sell of his life. He could only wonder if the claims of herbs being more effective than potions had any substance. Maybe it was something that he could ask someone from the Mercia family later the next time he was around. The store though was borderline empty save for the one other customer talking to who Basil assumed to be the owner. It was basically impossible to not overhear the conversation. So, herbs just made Pokemon actually less friendly towards their trainers because they were so bitter. Now it made sense as to why there were no Pokemon around; not a single one of them wanted to have anything to do with these herbs. If the clerk's reaction was anything to go by then it was a miracle that this place was in business still. Basil approached the counter; his eyes briefly caught the despair of the Budew and Cleffa before he focused back on the clerk. [color=8493ca]"...Uh, excuse me sorry I just had a question. I'm not one to question business models, but wouldn't you sell more herbs if you balanced the bitterness with honey or berries? Or both? They're good for you too."[/color] Honestly, he probably didn't need any of this stuff. After the fiasco with the Abundance Berry, he had enough berries that would heal damage and status for perhaps almost the entirety of his journey, but if he could obtain or even make concoctions from those berries then he could make them stretch even further.
