Aw he's all worried about my girl! So sweet
I think I'd be concerned if no one was worried if they saw her.
Did a quick post.

"Oh tell me this riddle what beats pipe and fiddle, what's hotter that mustard and milder than cream!" Footsteps bounced against the earth in a steady rhythm, the clinking and shuffle of a backpack against a scabbard sword, and the gentle singing of a dwarf with a smile on his face as he trudged through the shaded woods of the Springwood Forest. Where exactly was he going he had no clue, but that made it all the more exciting! It was adventure, a search for the cause of that vague aching pulling him towards the unknown! Things to learn, people to meet, places to see, and of course ingredients, sweet precious ingredients.
"So stick to the cratur the best thing in nature for sinkin' your sorrows and raisin' your joys!" Up and up the dwarf went; the forest slowly began to thin out until he stood upon an open clearing, an open plain descending into a valley. A gentle breeze brushed through his messily tied hair as the smile evolved into a toothy grin. He could feel it, he was near. That hamlet as small as a pinprick was what he was calling him. They said that he was crazy, that there was nothing out there worth looking for, but lo and behold there was beyond the capitals of kingdoms great and small.
With nothing else left to do, the dwarf made his descent through the vale. "Oh, Lord, it's no wonder if lightnin' and thunder were made from the plunder of- What in Great Mother Mountain's beard is that?" Off in the distance he could see it, there was an honest to God ship in the sky above the hamlet. Now, he was a man born from the heart of the mountain so one would have to forgive him for him his shock. Did he loosely know that there were islands in the sky and specialized ships were made for travel? Yes, but this was the first time he had ever seen one. Can't be that safe considering something fell from it... Was that a person?
Was that thing falling from the airship a person?! The dwarf's eyes widened as he watched the rapid descent of the skydiver. "Sky dwellers are daft," he exasperatedly said. His feet belonged naturally on terra firma thank you very much.
Still, what a sight to behold. "Hah, I guess I'm not the only one then," he mused to himself before he continued heading downwards towards the hamlet. However, before he did that he looked back at where he came from and stared silently before nodding to himself and went on his way.
--- Near the northern edge of the settlement ---
It was strange. Every building that he had seen sparsely spaced about in the vale was decrepit and looked like they were on their last legs, if they even had legs to stand on. Were people actually living in this place? Why was he drawn to it so strongly? Oddly enough though, he felt like he was never in any danger. It was just simply odd.
As the dwarf made his way through, for the first time he the faces of people for the first time in what felt like ages.
"Hello there! Are you from around here?" He greeted them with a wave. One was a fellow dwarf with her caramel skin, wearing some interesting head gear. At least he thought it was head gear. Then there was the blonde elf dressed in fine garb... She looked like she had seen better days. The elf looked like she had been chewed up by the forest and spat out because of the salt of her tears, if the tear stains were anything to go by.
"...Are you okay, miss?" He asked tentatively unsure if he should just walk by and save her the dignity of not acknowledging the complete mess that she was.
I could've sworn that there was a map or something that indicated the biomes surrounding the hamlet. I'm not imagining it, am I?
Will try and get something up tonight. Got suddenly a bit busy all of a sudden.
Well, that certainly wasn't ominous at all. 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, "It's okay. If anything happens, you can rely on me." 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. "...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."
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.
