They were supposed to be adventures? Basil's brow furrowed as he stewed over the thought for a second before a quick breath of air escaped. He chuckled and said, [color=8493ca]"You know, I didn't really think of it that way, but I suppose we're both having an adventure."[/color] They were called journeys for a reason and they certainly were on one. It was nice to hear about how other trainers' journeys though there was also a point where he did not wish to use their experience for his own gain, such as Earl's offer to divulge information on the gym leader.

[color=8493ca]"I appreciate the offer I'd rather figure it out myself. It doesn't feel fair otherwise, but thanks though."[/color] As much as he understood that any intel could be used to help him on his journey, this was one of those moments where he had to refuse. Perhaps it was a poorly placed sense of pride or some other reason, but when it came to challenges like this then he wanted to conquer them through his own effort and ingenuity, not because he had information prior. 

However,there was something they could do together; Basil's eyes glanced back at the shopkeeper and then turned back to Earl with a smile. [color=8493ca]"How about we do a good deed?"[/color] He said before he turned his attention back to the shopkeeper. In an attempt to snap her back to reality, Basil waved his hand and said,[color=8493ca]"Hello, miss?"[/color] 

Once Basil got her attention, he said, [color=8493ca]"You see, I have a lot of berries to spare, more than I know what to do with, if you want to experiment to get some better tasting concoctions. If you can whip something up, we can advertise to get you more customers."[/color]
