《On the Berry Ranch [A Pokemon Fan-fiction]》


 0. In the Beyond

    Arceus. The Creator of the Pokemon Wold.


    At first, there was nothing.


    Then, from a source, so far away he still can¡¯t seem to find it, a Tale came.


    A Tale of a complete new World, filled with mysterious Creatures.


    This Creature are called Pokemon.


    After this, slowly, the Tale of Arceus the Creator was spun.


    And the Maker himself was born through this Tale.


    He listened. He listens to the Tales.


    Not on Tale, there are many of them.


    Some seem to be based on previous told ones, being part of one big one.


    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.Other seem to be made by individuals, every slightly different then another.


    As he listened, he made.


    He made a World as he heard it.


    But he made it his own Creation.


    Not exactly a Copy, but also not the Same.


    He created a Word as he wants it to be.


    And as it continued, he found something interesting, while he literally found something else.


    His interest was catched by some Stories who are so different but carry a Spirit to it.


    A Spirit as if wanting to make a Story of one¡¯s own, while sharing it with others.


    Wanting them to appreciate it.


    And what else he found are two things.


    For one, an interesting Person, who he wants to see Blossom, even if it¡¯s just for fun.


    The other a Lost Soul, seemingly coming from the same Place as the Tales.


    And with his Decision, he acted.


    No one will know, that Arceus was the most successful Hacker and Document-forger that ever existed.

 1. Oh, a Magikarp! *Evolution Noises*

    Sabrina is currently sitting on a comfortable wooden Chair.


    To the Chair is a wooden table, on whip two Items lie.


    The whole Setup is in a mix of Dinning Room and Kitchen.


    Her Attention is now completely focused on the two items.


    One seems like a mix of forearm guard and Smartphone.


    As if a Device was specially made to be put in the forearm, held on it by two bracelet bands.


    It has the typical Pok¨¦dex Colour scheme, with much red and some black.


    A Camera on the side, cross buttons, power button and so on.


    But the biggest Attention Catcher is a booklet, ten-odd pages thick.


    Its front depicts in a nice drawn style Mountains, Forrest and Rivers, lacking much wildlife.


    The Title is ¡°Introduction to the World of Pokemon: Personalised Form!¡±.


    And at the right corner is a ¡°-written by Arceus¡± as if it is the most normal thing in the World!


    After sitting a bit dumbly around, she sighs and takes a deep breath.


    Then, she opens the Booklet.


    Chapter One: Welcome to the World of Pokemon, Sabrina Belford!


    As it stands, your current Background is of coming from Unova and taking care of the Belford property.


    The Land is pretty wide and you are supposed to take care of the Berry Ranch.


    A Farmland for Berries and Ranch for various Pokemon.


    Your current state is of being a twelve year old, in two months thirteen.


    You didn¡¯t make any Journey until now or got any Starter Pokemon.


    Chapter Two: The Plot of Land you have is pretty vast.


    Currently you are South of Celadon City, and South from you is the Ocean.


    A big Part of it is owned by you, since no one else used it.


    The Soil is optimal so you should be able to plant most Plants.


    There is also an invisible Ward for now, keeping any Dangerous Pokemon out.


    Especially Grass Pokemon will like it there.


    Chapter Three: There shouldn¡¯t be much Explanation needed on how to catch Pokemon.


    Still, be warned that just catching one won¡¯t make it your Friend or trust in you.


    The other Point is, that you can keep as much Pokemon as you want on your Farm.


    Normally, it would break a Law, but not for you.


    Which only applies to the keeping of Pokemon.


    You can legally keep Region restricted Pokemon on your Ranch, but if you are forbidden of Catching them, then it¡¯s still forbidden for you.


    Chapter Four: The various Berries you currently have on your Ranch.


    There are currently Six different types, native to Kanto or from Unova breed:


    -Oran Berry, an acquired Taste with universal healing Ability.


    -Pecha Berry, very sweet and detoxifying.


    -Nanab Berry, bitter sweet with a slight calming Effect. Should make it easier to catch Pok¨¦mon¡¯s.


    -Sitrus Berry, mild taste and better Healing effect then the Oran Berry, but needs a bit more attention for less Haul.


    -Lum Berry, a mixed Bag without sourness, and a Cure to most Status Conditions. Hot commodity for Gym Challenger.


    -Hondew Berry, a tangy Flavour of bitter and spicy, a bit herb. Special Attacks are slightly weakened a bit after eating it raw, but great for making Friends with other Pokemon.


    Chapter Five: You will find some Shelves inside the House.


    Cooking in the Dinning/Kitchen Room, Common Sense in the Lounge and most other in the Study Room.


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.Get slowly acclimated to the new World of Pokemon.


    Also, you need to register in your Pok¨¦dex as User.


    The first Time Password is 9876, which you will have to change afterwards.


    Chapter Six: Since you don¡¯t know anything, and then don¡¯t even have a Way of selling things, you got some Equipment which can relive you of the Burden.


    There are Mainly Machines for Processing the Berries, but also some other Gadgets which can be useful.


    Also a TM machine, for making your own TM¡¯s for sale, if interested.


    Additionally, the most important machines for now will be the static safe-keeper, keeping Pokeball in a greater Stasis, with a Pouch of similar Use.


    A Bag with greater Capacity (not uncommon in these Worlds, but a bit pricey) and and automatic Marketing machine, with which you are allowed to sell your own Products directly, even when there is a quantity Limit.


    Chapter Seven: This one is connected to the unlimited Pokemon you can keep on your Ranch.


    I want to ask you of keeping the Pok¨¦mon¡¯s of a Girl called Vanessa, of which Pokemon you will have a shared Ownership when send to your Ranch.


    She is a diamond in the Rough, and I want to make her fully unfold her wings.


    You¡¯re treated as Cousins, even though your supposedly shared Blood goes back to a Grand-Grandma.


    It¡¯s possible to reject her if you want, since you have no obligation and the seat back won¡¯t be to significant for her.


    But you can ask of the Pokemon to Help you on the Ranch as long as they are there.


    Good Luck in this different, but hopefully wonderful World -Arceus.


    It took a Minute stupidly sitting around without anything happening until she kinda woke up from her Stupor.


    She stood up and making her Way to the door, directly accessible from the Hallway leading into the Dinning Room.


    Shortly after going through the door less passage in between, she turns around and picks up the Pok¨¦dex.


    Registering and setting a Password she won¡¯t easily forget, then making her way again, this Time more put together.


    As she left the House, she sees a breathtaking View.


    Various Trees and some Bushes are placed in a Field near the House, looking beautiful.


    Oran Berries on very big Bushes, Sitrus Berries on Tress looking similar to lemon Trees and Nanab Berries growing in bunch near the Crone of a Tree.


    Not to far, Water is flowing looking perfect tranquil, as if is coming from a pure Mountain Spring.


    Inside it are some Pokemon. Sabrina Recognises some Poliwag playing in the Water in tiny Groups, some Feebas hiding in the Shadows of the Growth hanging over the Water, and even some Magikarp.


    One of them catches her Attention as it pokes his Head outside the Water, seemingly watching her.


    The Crown like Ornament on top of his Head has a tiny Scar, if it can be called that.


    It rather seems like a freshly healed Wound, the usual golden-yellow a bit faint, as if a slashing Attack made a swallow Cut.


    She always wanted to know what it would feel like to touch.


    As Curiosity takes over, she slowly begins to hover her Hand of its head.


    The Magikarp doesn¡¯t react, which reminds Sabrina a bit of Slowpoke.


    A bit before touching its head, the Magikarp suddenly begins to glow.


    Stunned, Sabrina is squatting at the edge of the Water.


    Before suddenly remembering in what Magikarp Evolves and what kind of reputation Gyarados has.


    So she turns around and sprints with all her might.


    But she took to long, as the glowing silhouette rapidly expands the shine began to diminish.


    And it revealed a mighty Gyarados, anger written all over its Face.


    It roared, making its present known.


    Any Pokemon in the vicinity began to Flee.


    Sabrina fell over, the might of the Roar pushing her Over.


    As she looked back, she saw how most Pokemon in the River either fled in all direction the skies know or tried to hide even deeper in the Shade of Vegetation.


    And the Blue Creature locked Eyes with her.


    She suddenly felt an immense Weight in her Shoulder, stoping her from running away.

 2. Saying Hi to Celadon City

    Not to far away from the Ranch, Officer Jenny makes her Way.


    She wanted to check on citizens on Celadon City, at least registered as one.


    It would be hard to really see her as one, considering she lives so far away from the actual City.


    After half an hour walking, she already sees the House from the Distance.


    But suddenly, she sees a familiar Light in the Distance, which quickly forms an well known Pokemon.


    And a Roar follows.


    Officer quickly increases her Stride, until she sprinting with all her might.


    After a bit of hesitation, she releases two Pokemon.


    ¡±Spearow, look around for any Human near here, there is presumably one.


    Growlithe, you too, drag anyone you can find outside of the Danger Zone!¡±


    Both Pokemon took on an withe glowing hue, until they made their way in great Speed.


    Officer Jenny has two other Pokeballs ready, which will only find use if she got near enough.


    In her Dash, she sees how Growlithe bite into the sleeve of a Girl and dragging her away, the girl barely able to stand on her legs.


    Spearow took it courageously on himself to distract the Gyarados.


    ¡±I don¡¯t have enough Time for that! Electabuzz Thundershock!


    Don¡¯t hold back!¡±


    ¡±E Electa!¡±


    Electabuzz doesn¡¯t need any more to get to work.


    He begins to attract the attention of it quickly with its Attack.


    Only two out of three hit, as Gyarados dodged one barely, without having suffered from Paralysis.


    Officer Jenny reached near enough to call Spearow and beim closer then Sabrina, without being an to obvious target.


    ¡±Gloom, come out! You know the Drill!¡±


    Without further command, Gloom and Spearow got to work.


    The Gyarados is practically a new born, despite all its rage, it never actually fought.


    So it didn¡¯t know what came for it as Gloom produced Sleeping Powder, with Spearow guiding it with Wing Attack.


    Slowly, it begins to feel sleepy, still focused in Electabuzz without noticing it stopped its Attacks.


    The Operation shouldn¡¯t go awry by Paralysing it before putting it to sleep.


    Finally, it began to sleep.


    Even with comparative little damage Done.


    It seems it didn¡¯t even consider at first going out of the River.


    The surrounding Vegetation is a bit damaged and the River around that particular Part was widened a good bit, as it still, tried tail-attacks and Bites.


    ~~a few Hours later~~


    ¡±Ugh, where am I?¡±


    ¡±Chansey! Chan Chansey!¡±


    ¡±Chansey?¡±


    ¡±You¡¯re awake.¡±


    ¡±Nurse Joy?¡±


    ¡±Yes, Officer Jenny found you as your Ranch was attacked by Gyarados.


    She rescued you and captured it, before any mor Damage could be done.


    We examined you and couldn¡¯t find anything wrong with your body, but you must have been tired after what happens today.¡±If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    ¡±Yes, I was just going for a walk and then suddenly a Magikarp evolves.¡±


    Sabrina doesn¡¯t know herself how she came up with the lie of going for a walk so quickly and naturally, but can¡¯t really bring herself to care.


    Alone the Memories of the sudden Evolution and its intimidating Presence left her shivering.


    Her first Day, even her first perceived Hour in another World and she got to face on of the most terrible Creature possible.


    ¡±Freshly Evolved? That at least explains some things.¡±


    ¡°Aehm, how is Officer Jenny doing?¡±


    ¡±Good, great actually. Recently some more Troublemaker got here.


    The next Journey is about to start in a Month, so they want to semi establish themself, hoping to get something good.


    Like earning Pokedollars by battling unsuspecting New Trainer or offering some slightly overpriced Items, maybe even trading Pokemon.


    But only a few still have the Guts to act that openly and confident when a single Officer subdued a Gyarados.¡±


    ¡±I see, at least no everything was bad.¡±


    ¡±Oh, no. The incident didn¡¯t really go bad.


    If I may say so, only one Person in damage zone, uninjured and no noticed property damaged is one of the best track records there probably are. At least were people live.¡±


    ¡°Okay. Good to know at least my knew Home didn¡¯t get damaged before I even got to sleep in there.


    But I should be going.¡±


    ¡±A wait, here is your Trainer License!


    And from what I know, you are supposed to choose a Starter Pokemon.


    Since we don¡¯t have any place were you could Source one, we are supposed to get you into contact with Professor Oak.


    It seems he can give you one of the normal Kanto Starter, or an Chikorita if you are interested.


    Especially since you also plant Nanab Berries, he seems to want have some exemplars of if there is a difference of ones that were grown with its help.


    Well, mainly if the plant reanimating Effect of Meganium¡¯s scent can affect them.


    And other Berries, he just seems very interest in a Pokemon calming berry.¡±


    ¡±Oh, oh okay. Can I go into Contact now?¡±


    ¡±Yes, no Problem.¡±


    Later Sabrina stood before one of the communication Stations, with which she could even trade Pok¨¦mon¡¯s.


    She also got a simple Bag, containing Antidote, Healing Potions and three Pokeballs.


    One of the Pokeballs will soon contain her first Pokemon.


    Despite all what happened until know, Sabrina just began to feel anticipation for it, and fear.


    A giddiness to experience something that should be impossible, joy of soon having a Partner in a way she would have never considered.


    And Fear, of having reality crash down. What are Pokemon? Will she really able to hold the truth?


    It won¡¯t go the way she hopes, she know it herself.


    Her view is to self-centred, not leaving enough room to consider her Pok¨¦mon¡¯s feeling.


    She will have to pull back.


    The Gyarados comes to her Mind again.


    A Knot forms in her Stomach.


    Hope for to much and the disappointment will be on you, anticipate the Worst, and you will only feel better afterwards.


    Shaking her Head, she begins to connect the call.


    And the first thing she sees is the Visage of a Bulbasaur.


    It curiously looked into what is probably the Display showing her Face.


    In the Background is a Charmander lazily sitting on a desk, probably positioned to show all the Starter, and a Squirtle seemingly scolding the Bulbasaur.


    ¡±Pfffft, Professor Oak, it seems I remember your Appearance wrong.¡±


    ¡±Ah indeed, I seem to be a little green in the Face today.¡±


    Grabbing the Bulbasaur and sitting it on the table, while shoving a chair forward, is Professor Oak.


    Typical appearance of an aged friendly-natured Man.


    Instead of Wrinkles, he seems to just have that many laughing Lines.


    On his Lap is a Chikorita, seemingly searching from its elevated Position for something to play with.


    ¡±Sorry for the Delay, it seems someone already figured out how to answer an incoming call.¡±


    ¡±I don¡¯t mind. The little one must be quite proficient with Vine Whip if he could pull of such a Feat.¡±


    ¡°Bul Bulbasaur!¡±


    ¡±Yeah, very impressive! Do you train it regularly?¡±


    ¡±basaur.¡±


    ¡±Oh, could you say that again with more Conviction?¡±


    ¡±Ah, sorry if I interrupt, but you two seem to be on the same Wavelength.


    Would you like to choose your Starter? And I would like to ask an Favour.¡±


    ¡±Does it have something to do with Hyperactive Pokemon?¡±


    ¡±Yes, how did you know?¡±

 3. First Pokemon and calming Talk!

    ¡°Nurse Joy already informed me that your Focus seems to lie in the combined effect of Nanab Berry and Meganium.


    Rather, their calming effect of each. But how you plan to combine both is a bit of a Mystery.¡±


    ¡±Well, then I quickly explain that one.


    Meganium¡¯s Flower produces little tiny pollen on its petals.


    I have the hope that pollen can carry over some of that calming effect.¡±


    ¡°Huh, will that even work? I mean, one of the Pollen is from a Pokemon right?


    And it doesn¡¯t seem like it creatures them from any purpose, more like a body function that degenerated with Time.¡±


    ¡±Exactly! You know Tropius, right?


    There is a Theory ongoing that they both stem from the same Pokemon, or that their ancestor were in a Relationship!


    When Plants aren¡¯t hermaphroditic, they are divided in male and female, with the Male producing pollen for the Female.


    And most of the Meganium are Male, while fairly, Tropius gender division is more equal than that but!¡±


    ¡±Professor Oak. I understand that the Theory is fairly exciting, but honestly, I have Problems following it.


    Moreover, I would rather choose Bulbasaur if I am allowed to.¡±


    ¡±Oh, yes yes, I would never deny someone¡¯s decision.


    It seems I was a bit hasty there.¡±


    ¡±No harm done. But I want to clarify, there is a good chance that a previous from of the Meganium we know today used it¡¯s pollen to source offspring.


    With that, there is a silver of Hope that this pollen will carry on some kind of Gene Code which will add more of the calming effect the Nanab Berry already has.


    What is confusing is, how the smell of the Flower should help to make something to taste or eat more calming.¡±


    ¡±Well, opposed to, let¡¯s say Repel which is pure stinking chemical, the smell of Meganium is more ¡®magical¡¯, let¡¯s say.


    It¡¯s more similar to Moves which inflict a Status Conditions then, well, chemicals.


    The Same for Nanab Barry, which is probably why it¡¯s so universal.


    We don¡¯t know the full extent it could go, so I wanted to make some experiments to at least define if it worked or not.


    From there, we can find out why it worked or didn¡¯t worked, of we can make it work and more.¡±


    ¡±So, short story. You tried to mix together two different forms of Magic and look if something happens?¡±


    ¡±Yes, many leaps in the science of Pokemon were made that way, to my defence.¡±


    ¡°Okay, and why Nanab Berries, when they already have a calming effect?¡±


    ¡±Because I kind of got stuck with truly unruly Pokemon, so I would like to search for a Solution.¡±


    ¡±You know that it doesn¡¯t work that fast?¡±


    ¡±Oh now, I already secured a fast way, it just got me thinking of there is a better Way somehow.


    And then I talked to colleagues, talked about new theories or how I help a new trainer to get a starter and so on.


    It got us all fired up, trying to cultivate maybe even a complete different fruit.¡±If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.


    ¡±Can you say Berry? It gets me thinking what is a fruit and what is a berry. And as what Nanab Berry counts.


    Not as if we never called a Plant as something wrong in its Name.¡±


    ¡±True, now I am curious too.


    Anyway, I guess I talked to much, even as you already made your choice.


    Sure that I can¡¯t interest you in a cute Chikorita?¡±


    ¡±I am Sure of that.¡±


    ¡±Okay, here we go.¡±


    Professor Oak puts Bulbasaur in his Pokeball and puts it at where probably he needs to put it on the Terminal.


    Sabrina herself puts an empty Pokeball in a fitting Slot, agreeing to a trade request from Professor Oak.


    At the bottom of the screen, a bar pops up, showing how far the transfer progressed.


    After reaching 100%, Sabrina waits for another message, congratulating for the trade and indicating for her she can pick her Pokeball up.


    Hastily, she picks it up and holds it forward.


    After a bit of pressing both sides together and then releasing the pressure, she released Bulbasaur without throwing the Ball.


    ¡±Bul Basaur!¡±


    ¡±Yes, you are now here.¡±


    ¡±Ba!¡±


    The little Pokemon seems to overjoyed of being under Sabrina¡¯s care now.


    With fast steps and a jump, it pseudo-tackled her and she quickly sits down on the terminal again.


    ¡±If he didn¡¯t get lively! He didn¡¯t seem to be as happy when he was with me!¡±


    ¡±I am glad when seems to like me.¡±


    ¡±Haha, he really seems so. I have to cut of the call by now.


    Maybe we see each other again!¡±


    ¡±By!¡±


    ¡°Bu!¡±


    As the call cuts off, Bulbasaur begins to lies his Vines in Sabrina¡¯s hand, and the two began to play.


    Bulbasuar is happy to have such a nice Trainer, that wouldn¡¯t go on an excessive Journey to battle everyone.


    Older Pokemon told him a lot of the Journeys, including some tricks and Moves he should try to learn.


    Which doesn¡¯t sound to bad, but wouldn¡¯t it be better to be able to just relax?


    Not knowing what kind of thoughts said Trainer currently has.


    I got a Pokemon! I got a real Pokemon!


    It¡¯s unbelievable, just yesterday I would have beloved it, but here I am!


    Playing with a Bulbasaur!


    And I have so many plans to one which to catch next.


    Sabrina found that cash was already transferred to her License, quite a bit even.


    But she will have to stock up and also buy food for her Pokemon.


    Deciding to have an early Dinner and then going shopping for everything she needs.


    Her previous Experience giving her enough judgement to know what to buy and who to ask for help.


    Finally, Trainer and Pokemon set off to their new Home.


    Because they bought so much, both of them had an Idea shortly after leaving the City.


    Lying the Bag with heavy goodies down, the most sturdiest at the bottom, binding it and then dragging it behind.


    They use Bulbasaur¡¯s Vine whip, as Sabrina is a bit to tall to drag it along the ground without crouching.


    It ripped, in the end. But it ripped only shortly before the goal, so both see it as a Win.


    Bulbasaur, a bit tired now, decides to take a nap at her trainer Lap, who scribbles something down in the study room.


    Sabrina meanwhile, pats the little ones head and writes down which Pokemon she can potentially catch in Kanto.


    The List is only for an overview, from which she has to choose a few, since she can¡¯t support so many Pokemon.


    Kanto: Tauros (Transport), Charmander, Squirtle, Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey, Sandshrew, Cleffa, Vulpix, Oddish, Paras, Venonat, Diglett (Trap), Growlithe, Poliwag, Abra, Geodude, Ponyta, Slowpoke, Magnemite, Shellder, Gastly, Voltorb, Exeggcute, Chansey, Tangela, Horsea, Scyther, Lapras, Eevee, Dratini, Tauros (Transport).


    Tauros was more of an Afterthought after remembering todays Journey.


    Problem? She can¡¯t take care of so many Pokemon.


    Which reminds her of Vanessa. Something to deal later with.


    If she had to cut down, the it will end in¡­


    Squirtle, Pidgey, Diglett, Abra, Ponyta, Magnemite, Chansey, Scyther.


    Then trying it to cut down to five, Squirtle, Diglett, Pidgey, Chansey and Ponyta.


    That would fill her Team. And she could still catch an Scyther helping on her Farm.


    Yes, let¡¯s do it like that. With that, Sabrina looks out of the Window.


    ¡±Huh, I guess I still have Time to at least take a bit care of the Plants.¡±

 4. How to pluck Berries and the Power Plant!

    True to his Words, in the Study are various Books.


    I don¡¯t know if someone really wrote a book with the Titles ¡°Lowest Level Basics of Berry Farming for Dummies.¡± or Arceus created it.


    Both are bizarre, but for my own Sanity, I don¡¯t consider that a god-like existence seriously studied on how to Pluck Berries.


    With Hands. On the other Hand, the Book is well written, explaining things in an easy to understand manner and the Illustrations also aren¡¯t that hard to understand. Some books depict pictures were one can¡¯t really make heads or heels what is depicted wenn one isn¡¯t already knowledgable in that area.


    There is also lightly touched on why it is so, but only in keywords, which would make it easier to search for the topic without gaining half-baked Knowledge.


    Overall, the Book is great. Something truly made for beginners.


    I only skimmed over most the information for now.


    Even the table of contents is very well made, making it easily distinguishable what gives information on what to watch out and were what is explained.


    The Book is definitely worth a complete read.


    Especially since there are exercises and tips on healthcare mentioned, which one should follow for a comfortable farming Life.


    ¡°Bulbasaur, would you help me out?¡±


    ¡±Ba?¡±


    ¡±Picking some Berries, some seem already ripe.¡±


    ¡±Bulba!¡±


    Without further Delay, both of them made their Way.


    The Study is in the second Floor, on the first is a Storage Room.


    In the Storage Room they found some Baskets, big enough that they probably wouldn¡¯t need more then two to get todays Haul.


    Sabrina also noted Basket which can be carried on the back, still woven and with the hole on top.


    And a bag, being able to be slung over one shoulder and be at hip height in the other.


    The Design is like a cute drawing of Eevee, while the inside has many doodle-like Pokemon pictures.


    Weird, she has the feeling to have seen more Pok¨¦mon¡¯s on the side then the side of the Bag should be able to hold with its reasonable pacing.


    Probably the pseudo Bag of Holding mentioned in the Booklet.


    With two Hand-held Basket at one Hand, the the carried by Vines, they made their Way to the little Plantation for the berries.


    The Trees have some space in between, most to high to reasonable reach them.


    She could probably go for most low hanging Pecha Berries, with something to stand on most Nanab Berries.


    Nanab Berry Tree looks like it couldn¡¯t decide between being a fruit tree or a palm, as it doesn¡¯t branch as often as the other trees, and the branches also have more rarely branches.


    But on every end a wide shade forms, as palm like leaves circle around it, even when smaller then real palm trees.


    Sabrina has the feeling it has more to do with the fact that the Tree is comparatively small to an actual palm.


    Only now notices Sabrina that she is even a good bit tall.


    While a good bit older then twelve or thirteen, she was still sixteen years old in her past world.


    But the height difference isn¡¯t big enough to confuse her.


    At least not completely, but she is still smaller than before.


    Anyway, Sitrus, Lum and Hondew Trees are too big for her to reach any Fruit.


    Maybe when she has one of those tiny platforms to step on for children, she could reach lowest ones.


    This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.But when her sight isn¡¯t deceiving her, or the book, then they still need a bit before being completely ripe.


    So she turns her Attention to the most numerous and easiest to harvest, Oran Berry.


    Even though she is pretty sure, they to, were growing on trees, here, they grow on bushes.


    It could be she is mistaken, but Sabrina believes there was an Episode Pokemon were they plucked berries, Oran Berries for one, and somehow angered some Pokemon?


    The details are blurry, but technical, in the Pokemon of her old world, ten year old could harvest them.


    But she also played Legends:Arceus, and there were berry trees that had to be shaken by Pokemon.


    On the other Hand, every tree looked the same.


    Well, maybe she shouldn¡¯t compare Anime, Game and Reality, just being thankful for the plentiful harvest of Berries.


    Since Every Bush has more fruits then the biggest Tree, while being placed closer together, making it even more berries for the same Space.


    Wait, do Berries grow on Trees?


    No, stupid. Cherries are Berries. Or are they? Weren¡¯t they drupes or something?


    Which doesn¡¯t actually mean anything, being a drupe and a berry shouldn¡¯t be mutually exclusive.


    Or are they? Ahhhh, that¡¯s the Problem with School!


    We learn what kind of unicellular is what and why and so on, how worms live and so on, but things one would actually need in live are something one needs to find out themself!


    What do they expect? That I will one day be able to see the smallest kind of creature in existence and then having Problems identifying them?


    *Deep Breathing*


    ¡±Bulb?¡±


    ¡±Sorry, just kinda got of track. I should just pick Berries.¡±


    Carefully, she plucks the Oran Berries.


    Not much needed to do so.


    Just pull them off, no trying of imbalanced force pulling them or twisting it off.


    They come of easily and are sturdy enough for a berry that even a bit more grip strength won¡¯t crush them.


    Probably related to what Professor Oak said about the Berries also having some of the Mystic Energy like Pokemon.


    A single piece can lie comfortably in the Hand.


    While not entirely boring, even a bit serene, Sabrina¡¯s thought again began to wander around.


    Magnemite. She would like to go to the Power Plant if possible.


    Catching one there feels a bit special and much more guaranteed then going along the paths.


    Even Pikachu, Grimer and Voltorb, Electabuzz, plus evolution would be there to find.


    But there are multiple catches to it.


    First is Zapdos. Not going to provoke a legendary bird.


    Second is, it¡¯s an abandoned place with still running Machinery.


    If that doesn¡¯t sound like it¡¯s filled with electric hazards, then she doesn¡¯t know what is.


    Last is, Voltorb and Electrode. In the Anime, they showed an Behaviour of exploding when provoked.


    Dangerous, Self-Destruction and Explosion was it? Explosion is better but needs an higher Level for acquisition or something.


    And then there is the hidden Ability of them, which fits them to a T.


    Aftermath only damages someone by physical contact, but I am not so optimistic to think it won¡¯t explode when beaten.


    It can just be that the radius is so small, which is why it has that mechanic.


    Abilities. There is Damp, blocking Self-Destruction and Explosion, also Aftermath if someone has it.


    Lightning Rode protects the Pokemon from Lightning Damage while redirecting it.


    But if the Voltorb¡¯s and Electrode don¡¯t explode, then I don¡¯t see myself having much of a chance.


    I believe those two not only used lighting attacks, but various other attacks using its ball like bodies and sound-based ones.


    Ah, it¡¯s nice to chew out a Problem to distract oneself, but I won¡¯t be going, no matter what I think I have as an Solution.


    First, it¡¯s still super risky, I already will need two Pok¨¦mon¡¯s for there ability to not get overrun by Voltorb and Electrode, not considering the other living there.


    And supposedly, I could have a short meeting with Zapdos, a Pokemon with a permanent pissed Visage.


    Grimer and their Poison, Magnemite, Pikachu, Electabuzz. Yeah, sounds tough.


    Well, a Pokemon with Lightning Rode would probably be Rhyhorn, a Ground/Rock type.


    It actually wouldn¡¯t be a bad fit for the Power Plant. But still, I should stop thinking about it.


    ¡±Bulbasaur!¡±

 5. Machinery and Shopping!

    Bulbasaur and Sabrina didn¡¯t manage to pluck all Berries, but that fine.


    They worked a bit into the Evening and managed three bushes.


    Every Bush has a good bit of height, standing as tall as an adult Male.


    But given the Size of Oran Berries, they didn¡¯t bear more fruits than Raspberries.


    Well, they still had more Volume. And Mass.


    ¡±Huh.¡±


    I knew already that the baskets are big, but the weight somehow feels less than I guessed it to be?


    Not less, more like, am I stronger then I imagined?


    Hmm, well I Carrie pretty big shopping Bags. Thinking bag, they seemed the standard Size.


    Should I have noticed it sooner?


    ¡­I still have some books on common sense im the Lounge, if I remember right.


    The Duo goes rather merrily inside the House.


    There, they pause for a bit, since Sabrina doesn¡¯t know where the Machinery for processing is supposed to be.


    Because trying doesn¡¯t hurt, Sabrina walks inside the Kitchen Room, a place where it would sense if they are close.


    Inside a door, hidden by Furnitures to see it from the entrance and dinning table, opposite the kitchen is a pastry.


    Sabrina notes that she should have placed the food in there. Probably. The Kitchen is actually fine for now.


    And to the right is a comparable small Room, six to seven metres in each direction?


    Not to small for a Room, but the second smallest one inside the big Farm House by now.


    First is the highly likely Guest Toilet. She still needs to find the Bathroom.


    Pokechowinator, Super Duper Drier, Marmaladiaor, Cand-o-mat, Treatserinator and so on.


    Each somewhere between 30 cm and half a metre wide, going up somewhere between her collarbone or chin.


    There is on everyone machine a tiny Panel, giving a good overview of what is needed and how much overdue of the standard recipe is.


    Or lacking, in that Case. Only the drying, Marmalade and Candy machine need berries and maybe Sugar.


    Sabrina decided to dry three fourths of the Oran Berries, with the Rest getting made into Marmalade.


    It could be that there are other Machines that won¡¯t need more than Berries, but decided that she can inspect the exotic Machines another Day.


    And with that, Bulbasaur and Sabrina go to sleep, with a peaceful first Night.


    Sabrina does have some Problems at first, fearing that maybe another Magikarp evolves and catches her off guard.


    But feeling Bulbasaur shifting and even try to snatch the Blanket calmed her down in a weird way.


    It ended as she cuddled with Bulbasaur and wrapped both of them under the Blanket.


    The Next Day, early in the Morning, both of them plucked Berries again.


    Bulbasaur showed of his Moves. Tackle, Growl, Vine Whip and Take Down.


    Only Basic ones, but that¡¯s completely fine. But Sabrina had to cheer the sulking Pokemon a bit up.


    Afterwards, they checked out the Machines, and to their Surprise, the actual Product is nearly complete.


    It seems she needs either a stainless steel Box or silicon wrapping, or take out all the dried fruits as they.


    Same for Marmalade, she doesn¡¯t have any glasses to but them in.


    Sabrina would punch herself for being so careless, what if the Quality deteriorated because of this?


    So she made her Way again for the City.


    Bulbasaur was less then excited by the prospect, being carried in the Pokeball for a change.


    With the Space Bag hung over her Shoulder, Sabrina makes her way back to Celadon City.


    This Time in a more hurried gait, to be a bit faster.


    After a good while walking, she finally reaches the City.


    Wondering where she might have to go.


    You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.PokeMart? No, that is a Pokemon Supermarket.


    The Player just never had to use a normal one.


    So, following the Wisdom of Old, when you don¡¯t know, then Ask!


    After a bit of Questioning some friendly old People, she ended up on a Supermarket on the smaller scale.


    It Isn¡¯t run down or anything, even well cared, but, how to say it? A lot less attention grabbing then a Supermarket should be.


    Were other have colourful signs or are pure white, this one looks like a normal Building, when not housing.


    Straight Facade without much more, but some pots with Flowers.


    The Colour scheme is nice, with darker colours for the walls and lighter ones for most else.


    Even pretty clean, looking very much like it isn¡¯t to long since it was painted.


    But the Building overall doesn¡¯t seem to be freshly renovated or similar.


    Huh, the assortment seems to be placed weirdly.


    The Pokechow for specialised Pokemon is near camping gear, but households one near household products?


    Is it deliberately placed so that things one would need too, aren¡¯t to far away.


    While not a bad marketing strategy, wasn¡¯t it proven better when one needs to go through the whole Market and be tempted to buy more?


    And variety is lacking, two different Tomato Sauce, one Ketchup variety.


    No, red easily falls in the Eye. But even a closer look doesn¡¯t prove the opposite.


    Even the bottom of the shelves are empty. And they aren¡¯t to high, I can see from here where the boxes and warnings are.


    Sabrina goes through the Shelves, which are placed orderly.


    A detail she didn¡¯t notice, even though it to stands opposite from the half-mazes most Supermarkets have.


    Quickly packing five, then one more box from stainless steel with Poliwag print and some dozen Wrappins from silicon.


    She notices that Candy Wrappings also went to far, quickly packing six foils.


    As she walks over near the kitchen wares, she takes 23 glasses. Most that she can Selfe balance.


    ¡±Thank you for your Purchase.¡±


    ¡±Hey, eh¡­¡±


    The Clerk is a normal black haired Boy, roughly fifteen years old.


    He is polite and has a neat attitude.


    Even though he put Sabrina a bit of, as he seemed to move in practiced Motions.


    No matter what he did, his head moved fitting for the Motion, but his eyes didn¡¯t.


    They were always relative to his head as they were when he stood straight since she entered.


    ¡±The Arrangement is a bit weird for a Supermarket.


    It¡¯s neat, in a Way, and less waste of Time and subconsciously manipulation to buy something.


    What would be a good word? It¡¯s very User Friendly?¡±


    The Boy quickly puts on a Smile.


    While not looking quite fake, or like a polite smile of sorts, it seems very practiced.


    Even the motion of moving the mouth seems to be practiced in the Mirror, like a trained behaviour when hearing something joyful.


    And only the Mouth moved. The Boy didn¡¯t seem to have made any other Movement then that.


    ¡±Indeed. Our Family praises itself by having supplied the residents of Celadon City since Generation with high Quality Products.


    Fair Pricing, only the best Products available choose to sell here and being as friendly as possible to put Customer.


    That does include not confusing them with high shelves built as a Maze or making them buckle for satisfactory Products.


    And end of our Products is Satisfactory.¡±


    ¡°Okay, that¡¯s weird. It felt much more like free speaking now then the Thank you.


    But one normally doesn¡¯t say sentences like that when speaking freely.¡±


    ¡±Excuse me if that was disturbing. I will train myself to do it better.¡±


    ¡±No need, not like it was bad.¡±


    ¡±We don¡¯t want to feel that Customer are put off.¡±


    ¡±Ugh.¡± Why must people be so stubborn on weird Places.


    ¡±You know, of you want to be a troublesome Person, do it. Not mine wasted effort.¡±


    Sabrina turns around to leave, having already payed.


    She feels bad for saying it, but she doesn¡¯t want to give the impression she genuinely felt it was bad.


    It is a good Service, no Problem, but some people just have a filter over things.


    And through the same filter will also the story be told.


    At least people hearing the Story won¡¯t misunderstood.


    Expect, she didn¡¯t got to take another Step.


    ¡±Could you please tell why am I troublesome?¡±


    Directly before her is the Boy who was just behind counter, pleading in his Eyes. Still looking directly forward.

 6. Jerome and Vanessa!

    ¡°Okay Okay, calm down!¡±


    ¡±I am Sorry. I overreacted.¡±


    ¡±That¡¯s fine. Can you at least tell me what is your Problem.¡±


    ¡±I am avoided for being Creepy.¡±


    ¡±Aren¡¯t the Residents grateful for the Service of your Family? Do they isolate or bully you?¡±


    ¡±No, all the Residents are amicable, besides most new trainers, which don¡¯t like me because of my quirkiness.


    Saying things like I am a Creep which I shouldn¡¯t be associated with.


    Especially some trainer from Saffron City seemed to be scared of me.¡±


    ¡±Saffron City, as far as I know, has a Psychic as Gym Leader.


    Supposedly she is also a bit quirky, which can scare People.¡±


    ¡±Do I look like a Psychic? Should I change to not look like one?¡±


    ¡±No, rather, I believe they found out that not only Pokemon can have weird Abilities.


    And that Mind Reading is a scary enough prospect for them to be scared of people who could learn it.


    Last, is it really that much of a Problem?¡±


    ¡±Well, I, ahhh, ehm.¡±


    ¡±You don¡¯t want to b disliked and or are scared of ruining some thin of your Parents?¡±


    The Boy just meekly nodded his Head, bowing it down to look at the Floor.


    Even while fidgeting and everting else, his pupils didn¡¯t move one centimetre.


    Weird, but he seems normal enough.


    ¡±First and foremost, your pupil doesn¡¯t move or seem to track anything.


    Which is very weird. What is even more confusing is, how you go through the actions and movements like someone who follows most things with one¡¯s Eye¡¯s.


    Second, you give of a very artificial impression. Like exercising simple Movements and reciting Sentences when you aren¡¯t flustered.


    Overall, you don¡¯t give of the mist ¡°humane¡± impression, which scares some people away.


    Wait, o believe there was a Name for. Something about looking scary the closer it looks human while showing something that isn¡¯t human.¡±


    With a Snap of her Fingers, Sabrina begins to remember.


    Already shoved the thought away how weird it is to share the name with a real Psychic.


    The Boy twitches at the Sound, seemingly not having expected it even though he looked at her.


    ¡±Uncanny Valley! I believe that was the Name.


    Well, if it is you natural Habit to act like that, then most things are probably for naught.


    The closer you go to a complete ¡°normal¡± behaviour, the more people will be scared off by you.


    And even though I can¡¯t say it for an 100%, the parts that stand out as ¡°quirks¡± are part of you, so they will probably be part of you forever.¡±


    ¡±I see. So it¡¯s useless?¡±


    ¡±No? I mean, hat do you need from passing by Trainers and tiny Brats who didn¡¯t even made their Journey?¡±


    ¡±Well, the Market doesn¡¯t get much visited by starting out Trainer. Only middle aged or older People buy here. Which are all Residents.


    It¡¯s not bad, but if fear that I cost my Parents Customer and by extension Money.¡±


    ¡±Well, do you know what an average Trainer buys here?¡±


    ¡±Pokeballs, Healing Potions, Antidote, TM¡¯s, Battler Pokechow.¡±Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!


    ¡±The Place is pretty easy to view, and i see none of them here.¡±


    ¡±My Parents probably don¡¯t buy them since I scare away the Customer Base anyway.¡±


    ¡±Or because it¡¯s foolish to try to establish oneself against the Poke Mart, which is a Chain Supermarket known all over the World and every trainer knows of it.


    Where would you go for trainer supplies? This little Shop or the very familiar Chain that you know from everywhere else.


    Listen, you must be pretty stupid if you think Business is all about selling things.


    If you can¡¯t fight someone, then don¡¯t fight.¡±


    ¡°? But wouldn¡¯t it be more Profit if we would sell more?¡±


    ¡±Then make a little Experiment.


    Ask you Parents if you can Showcase some Pokeballs.


    Buy maybe like three from your own Money. They will be yours, the Price will be yours and so on.


    Since you seem to be helping out and not hired, you shouldn¡¯t be paying taxes for now.


    Meaning you can buy Pokeballs from the Mart and sell them for the same Price, without loss.


    You can look how many are sold after a week, a month, maybe two. When it then doesn¡¯t go into your thick skull, then I don¡¯t know.¡±


    Sabrina sidestep the Boy a bit dumbfounded and confused.


    He didn¡¯t react to her passing him, not giving away if he is in thought or just simply staring, unmoving.


    Subconsciously, Sabrina raises her head a bit higher, giving of the optimal Picture of an Unova Girl the Kanto natives have.


    Just to have her Nose planted perfectly for the door to crash against it as someone rapidly opens it.


    ¡±Jerome! Did it arrive? Did it?¡±


    ¡±Vanessa! Yes, everything packaged and ready. And why did you crash into the girl?¡±


    Sabrina was completely ignored, even though the intruding girl should have felt some resistance.


    She just stormed past and grabbed the Boys arm, from which she only picked up the name now.


    Jerome, confused and worried, still answered the Question orderly in a normal pace.


    Only now it seems to have concurred to Vanessa that she crashed into someone.


    A bit sheepishly she smiles at Sabrina and offers her a Hand.


    Taking the helping Hand with one, and holding the bleeding nose with the other, Sabrina stood up.


    ¡±Hello. Sorryyyyy, I didn¡¯t see you.¡±


    ¡±Weird, I could swear the door has a big fat glass plane in its middle.


    Or the Walls have some.


    Maybe I am confusing something.¡±


    ¡±¡­Ups.¡±


    *sigh*


    ¡±To my defense, I was very excited. Jerome, show the Stuff! I want her to see it.¡±


    ¡±¡­ you aren¡¯t talking about drugs, are you?¡±


    ¡±What! No! Why do you think so? I got a Sylph Co. Bag and a Pok¨¦dex! Soon, I will begin my Journey!¡±


    ¡±Here it is.¡±


    Jerome took something from behind the counter, probably fiddled around with a Lock.


    Now on the counter, a normal bag with a gray-white for most of it and the bottom compartment and the bottom have a nice yellow-beige.


    There isn¡¯t any Logo, but a tiny Chain on one of the Straps with Sylph Co. written on a Plate.


    Besides it is the Pok¨¦dex, looking like a wider Nintendo with its typical Pok¨¦dex Colour scheme.


    Quickly, Vanessa picks up the little piece of machinery, opening it and fiddling a bit around.


    As there is no Pokemon to target, she puts it down again and fully opens the Bag.


    Opposed to the infinity Wall Sabrina saw in her Bag, this one ends in a Black Shadow light doesn¡¯t seem to be able to pierce.


    ¡±Look, isn¡¯t that pretty Cool?¡±


    ¡±Vanessa, this Girl has a Space Bag to, a smaller one in which she fit in most of the Purchase.¡±


    ¡±Really? But I bet you don¡¯t have an Pok¨¦dex as cool as this one.¡±


    Vanessa waves her new Toy around energetically, not one bit disheartened by the revelation of Sabrina¡¯s space Bag.


    Deciding that it gets to on her Nerves, she rolls up her Sleeve, showing an even cooler looking Pok¨¦dex.


    She found out that the Screen can be covered with a Button, which is the same to reveal the little glass plane again.


    Putting on a nonchalant Face, better then any taunt, she puts her Hand before her chest, placing her arms so that the display faces both of them.


    ¡±Okay, you have an Pok¨¦dex. But do you already have an Pokemon?¡±


    *wissshhh*


    ¡±Bulbasaur!¡±


    At the Question, Bulbasaur pops up from his Pokeball, which was hidden by Sabrina shirt, which goes over her Belt for Pokeballs.


    Vanessa still seems to have the same energy and intention of flexing something.


    But at the sight of the Pokemon, she only stick out her chest and crosses her Arms before it.


    Not making a move of pulling an Pokemon out herself.


    After five Seconds, she then decided to use her Pok¨¦dex for the first Time.


    ¡±Let¡¯s see Let¡¯s see. Bulbasaur, a Kanto Starter, what? Plant and Poison?


    And it¡¯s the first stage of overall three evolutions?¡±


    ¡±By the Way, I am Sabrina. I am supposed to meet a Cousin of mine in this City. Would you know any other girl called Vanessa?¡±


    Vanessa stopped watching the Dex so intently and decided to make her best mix of sheepish grin and puppy eyes.

 7. Distant Family and Ranch talks!

    ¡°No, she is the Person you seek. I was asked a bit before to give someone directions to her Home if they ask after a Cousin called Vanessa or everyone else from her Family.¡±


    ¡±Welcome to the Family! Welcome Hug?¡±


    Vanessa opens her arms wide for an invitation for a Hug.


    It looks like a pretty bad attempt of trying to gloss over a bad first Impression.


    But Sabrina doesn¡¯t see any reason to decline, since her taunts were only a bit annoying, and not malicious.


    If she wanted, she could have played it cool, but messing with her would be Cousin was funnier.


    The little Girl smiles brightly at the Hug, but a bit of Gloom mixes as she notices her forehead gets pressed against shoulder blade and collarbone.


    Noticing and deciding to be a bit mean, ahem, testing her character, Sabrina teases her a bit.


    ¡°You¡¯re shorter than I expected.¡±


    At the Words, Vanessa let go of the Hug and strikes a Pose, with a Fist to the Sky and her other hand on her Hips.


    ¡±You will see. Soon, I will grow in unmatched Speed!¡±


    Sabrina stifles her Laugher at the fast Reaction and pose.


    But she has an Agenda to work on.


    She still needs supplies form Poke Mart, Pokeballs, Potions, Antidote and Anti-Paralyses.


    Lum Berry and Sitrus Berry would replace everything expect Pokeballs, but she doesn¡¯t know if that would be a good idea to only rely on that.


    And last would be a kit to take care of Plant Pokemon. Or a personalised one for Bulbasaur.


    ¡±Well, I still have some things to deal with, would it be fine if I visit you later.¡±


    ¡±I can just accompany you. Then we go back together!¡±


    ¡±Fine.¡±


    Jerome was gaping a bit.


    Vanessa was always easy going, which made her amicable but also hard to deal with for some.


    She would retreat easily of asked for, but many feel being pushed by her, which causes them to unconsciously avoid her.


    So there aren¡¯t many people she regularly interacts with.


    But the Girl, Sabrina, just accepts her in a Stride?


    As someone rather unsocial and immature, he seriously thought they were mocking each other at first.


    Sabrina and Vanessa quickly browsed through the Poke Mart.


    Vanessa still has to make her Journey, but she often enough envisioned how it would be as a trainer.


    So she nearly knew of every Trainer Essential Item in the Mart.


    Besides that there were Kits for taking care of Pokemon.


    It¡¯s not like she never saw it, just didn¡¯t gave it any importance.


    She was a bit shocked, but asked for it was needed.


    But quickly got silent after Sabrina answered that she can ask Nurse Joy for detailed informations.


    A bit confused by her Reaction, Sabrina takes a mental note to head her own Advice.


    The Purchase wasn¡¯t to big, and everything was going fast.


    In no Time, Vanessa led her to her House. Or her Parents House.


    It was a nice normal House on could find outside of Big cities.


    Probably standing there for two three, maybe four generations.


    Some Flowers were planted in Pots which are hooked at the bottom side of the windows frame, giving it a really nice atmosphere.


    ¡±This is my Home!¡±


    ¡±Looks nice.¡±


    ¡±I know!¡±


    Both walked inside.


    What catches Sabrina¡¯s attention is that Persian and Arcanine seem to live inside the House.


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.Or, well, partly. It seems only the first Floor actually has that much room in every direction.


    The only doors seems to go to a Pantry and the Stairs are also to small for an overgrown Fire Dog.


    A Persian is definitely bigger then a common House-cat, but won¡¯t have any problem if everything is Arcanine sized.


    Everything seems to be designed to be spacious.


    So there is only a Kitchen/Dinner Room and Living Room from Sabrina¡¯s View, both which could probably house an Snorlax and still have room.


    Is there even a Toilet on the first Floor?


    ¡±Mama! Papa! Look who I found. Our long lost Cousin!¡±


    From the Stairs sound could be heard.


    At first, it sounds like hurrying and pushing each other.


    Then, it comes to a pause, a bit of waiting, until relaxed Foot steps came.


    A Couple, which seems to be a bit past mid twenties cakes down, with a Persian that looks a bit exasperated.


    Long Before even Vanessa¡¯s Shout ended, a big Window revealed an Arcanine sitting their docile, with wagging Tail.


    The Woman has a light brown shade for her neck long Hair and Green eyes.


    Her Face looks like always ready from switching from Kind Smile to ¡°I¡¯ll beat the shit out of you¡± Smile.


    Meanwhile the Man has a darker brown and shoulder long Hair, a bit of a long Face and look like a nervous Kid NPC 3 has grown up.


    His Eyes are also a light shade of brown.


    Presumably the Mother has a Sweater and Jeans, while the Father has a Shirt on open Jacket, with Jeans too.


    Vanessa takes more after her Mother, while not as light in the Hair colour, she has an even brighter Green for her Eyes.


    Opposed to how her Mother Hair seem to form perfectly something similar to a Pixie Cut, Vanessa¡¯s Hair seems to be as Voluminous and nice looking as her Fathers.


    Her Face could also have a switch like her Mothers, but from hyperactive kid Expression to ¡°Ups, I messed Up!¡±.


    Both would only need minimal change in facial muscles and a glint in their Eyes.


    ¡°Hello, you must be the child of the Belford Clan!¡±


    ¡±Yes, Sabrina is my Name.¡±


    ¡±Come in, Come in, we prepared some Cookies for should we met.¡±


    Disregarding that she is already inside the House, she goes to the Dining Room as motioned by the Mother.


    She sat down on the Table and put her Straw Hat down, which she wore the whole Time.


    Protection from the Sun is and while be Important. She forgot Suncream.


    The Table is the typical one for four People, which probably came in set with four Chair, as there are four.


    At Sabrina¡¯s unworried Stride, everyone followed her a bit hastily.


    Only Vanessa with a spring in her gait while Persian was rather languid.


    Once there, the Mother seems to less nervous and takes out a cookie box and places it on the Table.


    Instead of fidgeting, she leans her Arms in the Table and smiles amicable.


    ¡±So, do you want to talk about something, or should we start about the Ranch?¡±


    ¡±Well, there isn¡¯t much to talk from my Side.


    I am fine with Vanessa sending her Pokemon to her Ranch, but it will be limited.


    And rather heavily for now, since I just don¡¯t have the capacity for most Pokemon, and especially not numbers of them.¡±


    The Parents smile fell for a bit, which is kind of rude.


    And even ruder is how one notices that the Mother tries to coax me.


    One of her Arms is held by the Father, and from their facial expression, he seems to want to dissuade her.


    But was firmly rejected their.


    ¡±Well, is it really so? Her Pokemon can help you on the Farm if needed.


    That alone should make it worth it. Take a cookie if you want.¡±


    ¡±No, because it¡¯s plainly rude how you want something from me and want to coax me for it.


    But you don¡¯t respect my Judgement or Will at all.¡±


    Ah, her Smile froze. Now there is desperation creeping up her Eyes.


    The Father just shakes his Head.


    Do they even noticed they wanted to chat with me before introducing themself?


    Were they that eager to improve their odds of whatever they want?


    ¡°I am Sorry. We are the one who only gain Benefit from it while you would have to juggle everything around.


    And you don¡¯t even have any kind of Obligation to us.


    It might be rude to say, but we tried to make a good impression, which kind of mixed up with coaxing.


    I sincerely hope that your impression of us won¡¯t hinder any Friendship with Vanessa, especially since she is a separate individual and the one who really is the one who should be in agreement with you.¡±


    He bows his Head and says so.


    His tone is sincere and what he says is true.


    ¡±I never planned to not separate both of you.


    The Journey¡¯s whole point is to prove oneself, isn¡¯t it?


    And maybe, the next time you want something from me, you should start with an introduction.¡±


    Both of them froze for a bit, then fidgeting while being pretty good in synch.


    They also had the kind of Panic, which isn¡¯t quite Panic, but one thinks of stuff like ¡°I am so stupid! Why didn¡¯t I think of that!¡±.

 8. Tauros and further Berry plucking!

    ¡°Mom and Dad also prepared a Gift for you. They aid it was hard to acquire but then clutched their heads if it is really helpful.¡±


    ¡±Oh, what kind of Gift?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a Tauros. We catched a Tauros in the hopes you like it and need it. But we only realised afterwards that berry farms don¡¯t need to plow their Field.¡±


    The Father spoke up to answer the Question.


    A Tauros, heh? I thought about it for Transport.


    Between Ponyta and Tauros, both have advantages, in a Way.


    Ponyta is, well, a Pony, so it won¡¯t carry me far and fast until evolving.


    Which can and probably will take its Time.


    So a Tauros would and instantaneous Solution.


    And while Rapidash would certainly faster, it would be limited to my space Bag.


    Tauros could probably help carrying things that don¡¯t fit in, but I doubt many things that don¡¯t fit in could be helped by Tauros to be delivered undamaged.


    Short Story long, for now a Tauros is nice, even though I hope to be able to switch to Rapidash at one point.


    Oh, and Ponyta/Rapidash can have Run Away, very nice since no one could hinder them Running.


    Arena Trap of an Diglett or I believe Mean Face? Yeah, that was a Move which can hinder Escape of Pokemon, if I remember right.


    Diglett Diglett. There was a Place for that.


    Digletts Cave! That was it! Yeah, I will probably have to look for one there!


    A Memories come back. Thinking about it, there isn¡¯t any Item like Revive, is there? I didn¡¯t saw one by the Pokemon medical Supplies.


    Wasn¡¯t there another Pokemon to catch there? Well, that changed from edition to edition, but i will probably only find Zubat and Golbat.


    Even when Game mechanics place them in the Cave, doesn¡¯t mean they would like living there.


    ¡±Sabrina? Your a bit dazed right now.¡±


    ¡±Nah, just thinking. And I should probably say that an Tauros is welcome since I somehow have to get around more efficient.¡±


    ¡±I see. Glad it can be of any Help.¡±


    The Father takes a miniaturised Pok¨¦ball from a Belt Pouch gives it to Sabrina.


    Instead of tucking it on her own Belt, she let it change back to its original Size.


    ¡±Would you mind if I let it out for a bit?¡±


    ¡±Heh, No? I mean, it can¡¯t be making a bigger mess that Arcy.¡±


    ¡±Tauros.¡±


    ¡±Hello Tauros. I will be your new Trainer from here on.


    I will mainly ask for rides, if that is fine. I don¡¯t plan to let my Pokemon slack, but I won¡¯t be exactly a Battler.


    Do you have any problems with that.¡±


    The Tauros shakes his head, before lying down on the Floor and closing his Eyes.


    Sabrina doesn¡¯t call him back, as there isn¡¯t any need for it.


    She sits down again, having stood up for the Conversation.


    ¡±Tauros is a good Companion, from what I saw, but can be pretty adamant about things.¡±


    ¡±Like?¡±


    ¡±Not eating the Pokechow with medicinal use or giving in that he needs Healing.¡±


    ¡±Hmmm, Tauros, while I might not be able to always get food you want to eat, the pasture and six different kind of berries are an Option.


    For medical Check Ups, I won¡¯t take a no. Only because some wounds heal by themself doesn¡¯t mean to risk an infection.¡±This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    ¡±Tau.¡±


    As a Response, the Pokemon only gave of what seems to be a defiant snort.


    Sabrina decided to deal with that later.


    She already planned to take it to Nurse Joy after leaving and buying the next Care taking Kit.


    A sudden thought crosses her Mind. She is bad at throwing. Not to bad, but not precise or fast bough for a normal Pokemon which can see it coming.


    Haaa, an Issue for later.


    ¡°Well, I guess I take my Leave.¡±


    ¡±Can I come to your Ranch, then?¡±


    ¡±Sure.¡±


    Why are the Parents always reacting like that?


    It¡¯s like they¡¯re not trusting to not antagonise me.


    Ironic, considering they were ruder than her.


    ¡±I I¡¯ll have to get some more supplies for Tauros now, but after that it¡¯s fine.


    Do you have a Pokemon who would give you a Ride?¡±


    ¡±Arcy can give her one. We still have to give her a Starter.¡±


    ¡±Understood. The Arcanine is your Pokemon, I take it?¡±


    ¡±Yes, and Nik got an Meowth, since his Family already new he won¡¯t be a big Battler and rather works from Home.¡±


    ¡±Well, and what is your Name?¡±


    The Woman flinches a bit at the bit sharper tone, as she tried to sneakily introduce themselves and reveal a bit about their Life¡¯s.


    ¡±Monica. I am called Monica.¡±


    With a nod, Sabrina makes her way to the Door, followed by Vanessa.


    They quickly made their Way back to Poke Mart and Sabrina gave her new Pokeball to Nurse Joy.


    The Examination ended and Tauros was only half sulky.


    It tried to fault Sabrina for her sneaky ways, but decided to not let it bother it anymore since she doesn¡¯t seem to repent.


    Or so it acted, but it was unmovable and didn¡¯t gave a Ride when the Time came.


    Sabrina called him back shortly afterwards and both of the Girls rode in Arcy, the Arcanine.


    ¡±Wow, those are¡­ less numerous then expected.¡±


    It¡¯s understandable what she means.


    For a farm or Ranch, the numbers of trees is indeed rather low.


    Between ten and twenty per Berry. Those are many for a single Person to attend, but in these world exist Pokemon.


    Not only can they help in trimming and plucking, but also picking, keeping Vermin¡¯s away or grow trees.


    Meganium, for example, can help to rejuvenate plants a bit with its scent.


    And Pokemon or stronger and more enduring, more helpful then any Human.


    These Numbers especially aren¡¯t much when i am supposed to feed others people Pokemon and can have their help growing them.


    ¡±Its understandable what will only grow from there.


    I didn¡¯t have myself established by now, and letting them grow wild before I have the Manpower to properly tend them could make it too much for me to handle.


    The Number is small but only right for now.¡±


    ¡±Hmm, so I have to catch many Pokemon who can help you!¡±


    ¡±Please no. Like I said, I am new to it. I don¡¯t know if I can juggle two such responsibilities, both I am not used to.¡±


    ¡±Okay. But you only got an Pokemon now, right?


    Should we both travel the first bit together so that you can at least expand your Team to help you?


    Ah, but you just got an Tauros. Not that it will any Help.¡±


    The Pokeball of Tauros wiggles a bit, but Sabrina ignores it.


    ¡±Would you help me a bit plucking Oran Berries?


    In a week again, the first Nanab should be ripe and two weeks after that, most other will begin to ripe.¡±


    ¡±Great! In these Time Frame we can catch Pokemon!¡±


    ¡±I thought you don¡¯t have any starter until now?¡±


    ¡±Oh, I got an Pokemon, but I don¡¯t want others to know. Especially my Parents.


    Jerome knows already, since he helped me to get am Pokeball for it.


    I will have to pay him back later.¡±


    ¡±Wan¡¯t me to give you some Money for your help?


    Won¡¯t be enough to pay for a Pokeball, but every bit counts.¡±


    ¡±No thanks, I want to make my first Money from Duels!¡±


    ¡±So you didn¡¯t earn any until know? Not even part time or Summer jobs?¡±


    ¡±Ah, well, sometimes I helped to mow down the lawn of neighbours, but that doesn¡¯t count!¡±


    ¡±Okay. What Pokemon did you catch or plan to catch?¡±


    ¡±A secret! And a Caterpie, I will see from there.


    And you, any favourite Pok¨¦mon¡¯s or Types you like.¡±


    ¡±Squirtle, Diglett, Pidgey, Chansey, Ponyta, Magnemite, Oddish, Scyther.


    The actual list is a bit longer, including Caterpie and Venonat, but roughly like that.


    For Types, something like that: Grass, Bug, Ghost, Steel. Extra points if it¡¯s Water or Poison too.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a Line up. What does your list roughly look like?¡±


    ¡±Take the KantoDex, minus everything that can evolve from a previous Pokemon minus some that are hard to take care and then some odd ones.¡±


    ¡±Oh. Are you some kind of Maniac?¡±


    ¡±No, the list is made very optimistic. Shoot for the Moon and you reach the Stars.¡±

 9. Talk and Pokemon!

    ¡°Is there any Type you like?¡±


    ¡±I like every Pokemon! Oh, but I like Dragon especially.¡±


    Yeah, Dragons. Applin. Who the Heck designed Applin?!


    Did someone prideful who said ¡°Apple¡± by ¡°Who¡¯s that Pokemon?¡± and had to prove his Point?


    And it evolves into an Apple Pie! A-P-P-L-E P-I-E!


    It¡¯s a Dragon Type god dammit! We¡¯re is there a Dragon anywhere?


    Smolive, the cutie, is a so much better example on how to design them and assign Types.


    Not like it¡¯s the only one.


    Tsatsugiri. The uncompleted Japanese Dish as Pokemon.


    As Dragon Type! What do they think of their fish in Japan, that even catched their still Dragon Type?


    Ah, wait. Wild fishies can¡¯t become a Dragon.


    Gyarados is just a simple Water Flying type.


    Who the hell decided that bullshit?


    How did the conversation go?


    ¡®Hey Boss, the Design for the Pok¨¦mon¡¯s inspired by the Myth of a Carp climbing up a Waterfall is completed.


    We only have to make its attributes, move pool and name.¡±


    ¡®Make it Water Flying.¡¯


    ¡¯What?¡¯


    ¡®Make it Water Flying type.¡±


    ¡®But why? It is clearly a Drago¡¯


    ¡¯MAKE IT WATER FLYING!¡¯


    ¡¯Okay, sorry Boss. Should we make it fly then?¡¯


    *scoffs* ¡®Of course not! That would be stupid. Ever saw a giant oversized sea snake flying?¡¯


    ¡¯¡­¡¯


    ¡¯And don¡¯t let it learn Fly!¡¯


    Wonder what the People who made it unable to learn Fly thought when the Bug in Legend Arceus came up.


    Not that I would ever like to meet an Gyarados again.


    Thinking about it, maybe it isn¡¯t bad that the thing isn¡¯t Dragon, especially since it makes Electric Attacks four times as effective.


    But I wonder how Physics work on that one.


    The more mass it has, the less effect there should be.


    Using Iron Tail and stick it into the ground also makes one a Lighting Rode completely unbothered by electric attacks.


    Weird work I live in.


    ¡±What about you? Liking any Dragon Pokemon especially?¡±


    ¡±No? Never thought about them like that. Most are pretty cool, so I guess I never ranked them?¡±


    ¡±Well, that¡¯s understandable. Any Favourites of other Types?¡±


    ¡±Thats hard to answer. There are Pokemon I like, that I don¡¯t like or like more, but I never could point out a favourite.¡±


    ¡±Really? Most say Growlithe or Ponyta or Eevee when asked.¡±


    ¡±Eh, when I find a Pokemon I liege the most, I say it.


    But I want to see myself rather the Type that appreciates the Pokemon personality instead of Species.¡±


    ¡±Nice! We can be good friends then!¡±


    Sabrina and Vanessa already picked everything ripe for picking, and Sabrina stored them away.


    She can discretely put them into machines after Vanessa left.


    Vanessa on the other Hand thins she could go along really well with Sabrina.


    A bit mean but very amicable and open minded.


    ¡°Want to watch something?¡±


    ¡±Yes.¡±If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Both are currently inside the Lounge, with a big TV, Bulbasaur is out of the Pokeball to.


    He isn¡¯t sleeping, but doesn¡¯t look like wanting to be active any time soon.


    With a click, the TV is on.


    Currently is an Ad nearly ending, some kind of yogurt.


    ¡°I wanna be the very best


    Like no one ever was


    To catch them is my real test


    To train them is my cause¡±


    ¡°I will travel across the Land ¡°I will travel across the Land¡±


    Searching far and wide ¡°Searching far and wide¡±


    Teach Pokemon to understand ¡°Teach Pokemon to understand¡±


    The Power that¡¯s inside¡± ¡°The Power that¡¯s inside¡±


    Vanessa was a bit astonished as Sabrina began to sing the Song to, even in a pretty quiet tone.


    Quickly, she also chimed in, liking the Song too.


    Sabrina deactivates the TV again after the Song finished, not very motivated to watch the actual series.


    ¡±You Surprised me. I wouldn¡¯t have thought you would openly sing that.¡±


    Realising only now, Sabrina scratches shyly behind her ear, ignoring the blush.


    ¡±Well, I guess after everything, something so familiar had a nice effect on me.¡±


    Vanessa nods at that.


    ¡±My Mother often told me that having everywhere a Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny is helpful.


    On time she was somewhere were not a Nurse Joy worked in the Poke Centre and she felt so much more helpless.


    Something constant just changed like that and her rhythm was completely thrown off.


    She always laments how she wasted her Time when she tells me about it.¡±


    ¡±I never made a Journey, but a place without Nurse Joy is still quite hard to imagine.


    And I don¡¯t think I have the bias of someone who already did their Journey.¡±


    Even though she has her Bias from Games and Anime.


    But that¡¯s somethings different.


    ¡±Do you plan to challenge to local Gym at one point?¡±


    ¡±I don¡¯t know for sure, but probably.


    When I trained my Pokemon to a certain degree I might want to prove myself.


    And you, staring with this one on your conquest?¡±


    ¡±Nope, my current Pokemon is a bad Match up.


    My Parent will probably get me a Growlithe, so that will help.


    But I would have to familiarise myself with it.¡±


    ¡±Not one of the typical Starters?¡±


    ¡±Nope. You probably don¡¯t know but they are more expensive and less likely to be obedient.


    For Growlithe it¡¯s kind of in their Nature, will they are expensively trained and bred.


    And it¡¯s much easier to multiply Growlithe, it seems.


    The Starter Tradition has something to do with Pokemon which lived in great Numbers.


    Lived in packs or herds, but were caught to disturb them to other Children.


    My Parents also say that the Breeder purposely increase costs of them breeding and selling.


    That¡¯s something I don¡¯t fully get.¡±


    ¡±Maybe some kind of big Company bribed or bribed them?


    I mean, from how you told me Newley only Growlithe could prove itself.


    To establish such a Business so fast before competitors could even gain a good foothold needs preparation and much resources.


    And when they are bred in large numbers then it means much upfront investment before they are sold.


    Additionally, potential incidents carry a much greater risk.


    Let¡¯s say a disease. Isolating individuals who are sick will be so much harder before they affect other, and then it needs again Money to cure them.


    If they aren¡¯t kept in one big places or few big places, but I doubt they will make such an effort.¡±


    ¡±What do you mean with Bribe? Giving Money for not making Money?¡±


    ¡±Well, what are Bulbasaur and the other viewed as Starter?¡±


    ¡±Kinda luxurious, other Kids who have them get prevailed often and stand out.¡±


    ¡±See, through their Rarity and Impression, may even promoted by the Breeders, People are willing to use more Money.


    But their Customer Base still shrunk. And the new Customer Base has Individual in the higher side of society.


    People who have the Money for luxury and want or feel obligated to make an impression.


    And like mine, it¡¯s not like every Bulbasaur is sold to high earning People.


    Depending on the Bribe, it¡¯s well worth it.


    Especially considering the stability their business has now.


    A Probably fixed income plus sells.¡±


    After her last Sentence, Sabrina realises something and adds.


    ¡±I am Sorry, I theorised so much while utterly lacking information and said it with such Conviction.


    There is no way to prove it wrong or right, right now, so please don¡¯t think it must be really so, maybe it could be so at most.¡±


    ¡±Nahhh, doesn¡¯t that make kinda sense?


    The Local Bulbasaur Breeder seems to have changed his Pokechow supplier suddenly to an High-end one.


    Also the Facade was rebuild and so on and as much more appealing to rich people.


    Not much Later, Growlithe appeared in the Market for an affordable price.


    Shortly after Kanto wide all Starter Breeder increased their Prices.


    Mam and Dad still say that People were really glad for it, and the Auntie next Door still tells from how angry she was at the suddden increase in Price and that a Growlithe Starter is better anyway, her Son having wanted one since ever.¡±


    ¡±Okay, how did it start from me looking like a conspiracist to looking like there is actually and conspiracy?¡±

 10. Product Wholesale

    ¡°Then it¡¯s a farewell.¡±


    ¡±Wait a moment, is it fine if I call you Sabby?¡±


    ¡±¡­Fine, but please don¡¯t introduce me like that to others.¡±


    ¡±Nice! The you can call me Nessa.¡±


    ¡±M, Goodbye, till tomorrow?¡±


    ¡±Day after tomorrow, I will have something to do. Goodbye.¡±


    Vanessa pulls out a Pokeball, which houses her Mothers Arcanine.


    With practiced Movements, she sits on its bag and it began to run down the way back they came from.


    Sabrina is leaning on her door frame.


    Chatting was surprising fun.


    ¡±Alright, I still have some stuff to do.¡±


    ¡±Bulba!¡±


    With Bulbasaur cradled in her Arms, Sabrina puts everything in her Bag.


    She already checked the machine that is supposed to sell for her.


    It¡¯s a vending Machine with added Function. Like marking Metal Boxes for Refund Purpose.


    And it¡¯s locally, so she would have People travel to her Ranch so that they can buy something.


    Pretty bad if she really wants something to sale.


    Currently packed in are Boxes of dried Oran Berries, Oran Berries Jam and Treats, some with and without Jam added.


    The Treats are packed in Boxes too.


    Their Number should be fine too, considering how long they should last, their usefulness and how long it will take to the next Harvest.


    As she can¡¯t play clerk herself or feasible hire someone, not even having a Store, wholesaling is the best Option.


    ¡±Tauros, are you fine now?¡±


    ¡±Tau!¡±


    Okay, it¡¯s still mad at me for being examined.


    At least I put some of them aside for my own use.


    Let¡¯s see, one of the Vaporeon boxes has treats.


    There.


    ¡±Do you want some?¡±


    ¡±Tau!¡±


    ¡±Fine, then I have to go to foot.


    Should I ask Nurse Joy for consultation regarding a stubborn Pokemon.¡±


    Tauros begins to glare at Sabrina¡¯s obvious act.


    It feels insulated, but won¡¯t budge just because of some words.


    Before it could do anything else, it was already called back.


    The same as Tauros won¡¯t back down, Sabrina doesn¡¯t have the patience to talk to someone who doesn¡¯t want to listen.


    Even if it¡¯s a Pokemon.


    True to her words, she began walking, with Bulbasaur either in her arms or putting it down and holding its Vine.


    She walks inside the City and to the Store which is owned by Jerome¡¯s Family.


    At best, she can wholesale her stuff there, or can at least give advice on who to sell.


    This Time behind the Counter is a Woman, with Jerome viele through the window maybe gardening, but more little plucking weeds.


    Something she also will have to do extensively, doesn¡¯t she?


    The Woman seem to sense that Sabrina isn¡¯t here to actually buy.


    ¡±Welcome, what can I do for you?¡±


    ¡±Hello. I am Sabrina and, well, don¡¯t have any place were I can sell my Products, so I am searching now for a bit.¡±


    ¡±Sorry Darling, but I really can¡¯t buy Berries of Fruits, they just rot to fast for this Place.¡±


    There is a flicker of pity in her Eyes, as her dialect and poise change to something more casual and with dialect.


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.It feels familiar but Sabrina can¡¯t say how, only that the biggest change is in how the Tongue is moved, at least it¡¯s quite apparent for even someone like her.


    But instead of delving deeper into that matter, she takes out wrapped silicon Bags, stainless steel boxes and jam Jars.


    ¡±They are already processed, there is no need to worry.¡±


    ¡±Oh my, that certainly looks great. What are in the boxes?¡±


    ¡±Treats and dried Fruits. Everything Oran Berry, as they were already ripe.¡±


    ¡±How do you plan to sell them, especially since the Containers are reusable and more expensive, not something everyone is willing to purchase, since it¡¯s pricier then.¡±


    ¡±Well, do you see this little mark there?¡±


    Sabrina isn¡¯t a big enough fool to not think of that part, since she was also worried about it.


    But the Vending Machine had a Function of adding a Print and Scanner for such refundable Objects.


    Even something she doesn¡¯t really understand, but seems to inspect and potentially fixes dents in it.


    Well, the whole machine is quite bulky, maybe the size of a Square that can fit in a Snorlax Belly sized circle?


    ¡±That is for Refunds, if possible.¡±


    ¡±Good Work on the Mark there. Looks also quite nice.¡±


    The Mark which gets complimented looks like a flame, a leave and a raindrop position to from a circle, with an Oran Berry in the middle.


    It isn¡¯t super complicated in single parts, but to position everything so orderly would probably be quite a challenge.


    If someone wants to fake it, but the Boxes come from here, at least the same one weren¡¯t in the Poke Mart.


    And the refund price should be cheaper anyway.


    ¡±So you search for a business Partner which not only sells them but also expects the Refunds, yes?¡±


    ¡±Well, in theory I have a Vending Machine for that on the Ranch. Problem is, it¡¯s on the Ranch.¡±


    ¡°The Silicon?¡±


    ¡±Has a mark too.¡±


    ¡±Okay, everything should be fine.¡±


    ¡±Is it Okay?¡±


    ¡±Yes, we have quite a small shop, so there isn¡¯t much to do. It¡¯s easier then you think.¡±


    ¡±Excuse me if I say it like that, but there is only so much remuneration that I can give, would it be really fine?¡±


    ¡±You¡¯re overestimating the workload. It¡¯s selling and giving Money if they bring a Product back.


    The increased traffic should even be good for us¡±


    ¡±But will everything really work out fine.¡±


    ¡±Sweety, no use worrying about details. It¡¯s fine if it¡¯s fine.¡±


    ¡±So there is something¡±


    ¡±Sshhhhh. I want to make it like that and that¡¯s everything a good business deal needs from my side.


    And you should also be fine like that, right?¡±


    Sabrina nods numbly, overwhelmed by the sudden shift.


    ¡±Great, can you show me everything you have that can sell?¡±


    Sabrina takes out everything she has ready for that.


    The Woman looks with critical Eye at the Wares.


    ¡±The Numbers are Fine, but you may need to export some of the if it continues like that, depending on how often your harvest the Berries.


    In the City only so many People buy things like dried fruit or Oran Berry Products.


    But no need to worry, many old Folks like em, many which are regulars here.¡±


    Oran Berries had a somewhat aquired Taste, Sabrina remembers.


    At least for Humans.


    ¡±Local Confectioneries may be interest in the Jam, so pack about half of them an ask around.


    They are good for Pokemon Treats, especially tiny Cookies.


    You don¡¯t have anything else?¡±


    ¡±Ehm, this Boxes have treats with Jam and the other stack without, but still made with Oran Berries.


    The last stack only has the dried fruit and all silicon wraps only have dried fruit.¡±


    Sabrina didn¡¯t pack the Treats in Silicon, as it felt stupid.


    At an 1:9 Ratio of Box and Warping, there aren¡¯t that many Boxes.


    But the Boxes have more of them, at least.


    ¡±Good, we can make use of the Boxes too.


    How about I purchase everything of that, sell that as it is, tell them about the refund either here or at your ranch.


    When you come her again, I sell the refunded ones to you at the same price as my and your refund.


    That Transaction won¡¯t be taxed, as it uses the Boxes to sell the goods again.


    You should inquire yourself what the tax is, near the police station we have a government office, placed for stuff like that.


    Makes it easier to kickstart business for young adults, since Celdaon City is a bit to tiny for the Government.


    Just carefully note everything down.


    And don¡¯t go in the luxurious looking confectionery when selling the Jam, only prideful there.


    A bit away from the big street should a nice one somewhere.¡±


    ¡±Mom, do you mean Albert¡¯s?¡±


    ¡±Ah yes, weren¡¯t there for a long time.¡±


    Jerome just came in, still with his unmoved Eyes.


    But his speech got more causal when addressing his Mother.


    ¡±I am Sorry, I will show you the Way.¡±


    No, back to the nearly artificial Way of speaking, it seems.


    ¡­ Didn¡¯t anything go to smoothly?

 11. Tauros Talk

    Sabrina plops on the Couch in the living Room, where she and Vanessa previously chatted.


    Bulbasaur is out training either leech seed or razor leaf, something ranched from its bulb at least, Sabrina guesses.


    Selling her Products didn¡¯t pose any Problem in the End.


    They even got praised, which makes her a bit conflicted.


    On one side, she didn¡¯t do anything besides nit messing it up, on the other hand, it¡¯s hers now, right?


    But before she can go to deep into the matter, she reads the Books again.


    It¡¯s the same one were she skimmed the contest for only the most important parts.


    She didn¡¯t read it whole until now, which she should do if she wants to continue making a good job.


    In there are also many pictures of things she found in the storage, clarifying what they do.


    Should I get into the Habit of checking weather predictions?


    But there is a warning about how they use Castform for it, and they only predict it right at where Castforms are.


    There, I should watch out what multiple stations say, and even without trying to keep an eye on the sky and keep tarps ready.


    Best case if having a Castfrom, as they can predict the Weather for up to three hours prior, when properly trained.


    ¡°Having many hands is always good, but it shouldn¡¯t be underestimated how dexterous Pokemon can act with Mouth, Hooves and similar.¡±


    Tauros probably won¡¯t help me, seeing his demenar.


    But I probably should have an Heart to Heart talk with him.


    Deciding that inside the Lounge is fine, she puts away the carpet and lets Tauros out.


    ¡±Tau!¡±


    ¡±Pssst. I called you out so that we can have a proper talk.


    It¡¯s fine if you get emotional, but refrain from throwing a tantrum.¡±


    ¡±Ros.¡±


    A Stare showdown happened between the two of them.


    Sabrina doesn¡¯t understand what Tauros¡¯s Reason is for his attitude here, while Tauros is just defiant.


    ¡±Okay, I am going to say it as I see.


    Either you are at least ready to open you mind for what I ask or nothing is going to work.


    It¡¯s fine to argue if you have a Point, but when everything backing your defiance is pride, then nothing is going to work.


    You already noticed that I am decisive when you are plainly uncooperative.


    Two Options. You either decide to remain stubborn and I am going to talk with a Ranger about releasing you or selling you.


    If you don¡¯t want that your my responsibility, then you won¡¯t be my responsibility. Simple as that.


    Second would accepting that you have to take care of me and I of you.


    Every time I tried to give you treats or Pokechow you trashed it around, eating the Grass on the ground.


    Plainly obvious that you don¡¯t like me and insist on it, even though you shouldn¡¯t know me.


    Whatever your train of thought is, I can¡¯t change it, and the result speak for itself.


    So, wanting the first choice? Then we have to find out if we sell or release you.¡±


    ¡±Tauros.¡±


    Without hesitation he nodded at that, calling his Name to emphasise his Point.


    ¡±Okay, before we continue, I need you to agree to at least give me the ride to the City.¡±


    ¡±Tau!¡±The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    A Snort.


    ¡±Then you have to wait inside the Pokeball or out on the Pasture eating Grass for the next occasion i have to go out.¡±


    Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t notice that you eat the dirtied Pokechow or Treats sneakily afterwards.


    You like them but not me, without wanting to compromise on something.


    But I can¡¯t fault it, as ruminants would need Grass all day, which I don¡¯t know if he is, but not gonna risk his health for it.


    Haaaa, I want to be angry at him for that but still act to soft. No, it isn¡¯t soft but responsible in a way.


    In the other Hand, not hating him for that is maybe soft again?


    ¡±Tau.¡±


    ¡±So you relent in that point?¡±


    ¡±Tau.¡±


    I can see how he would rather go meek, but is to prideful for that.


    Well, I guess that stubbornness could be useful for an Battler.


    ¡±So, wanting to be released?¡±


    ¡±Tau.¡±


    ¡±? Are you perhaps unsure?¡±


    I really can¡¯t say it. It wasn¡¯t a clear affirmative but also not a denial.


    ¡±Tauros. Tau Tauros.¡±


    ¡±Scared about not finding a herd anymore after being captured?¡±


    Thats the best point I can think of.


    ¡±Tauuu Ros.¡±


    ¡°Ah, wait a Moment, I have to think for a bit.¡±


    ¡±¡­¡±


    ¡±So, as an Herd Animal, you need an Herd in the wild.


    You can¡¯t take care of yourself, so you would need a Trainer.


    But you can¡¯t stand it to think you wear unruly caught just to get sold and gifted and whatnot.


    So you stubbornly insist in hating the Trainer.


    But you would need someone to take care like a Trainer again.


    Which makes it a viscous circle.¡±


    ¡±¡­Tau.¡±


    Tauros looked for a Moment like wanting to argue, but choose to relent and agree.


    The whole thing wore him mentally down, as he sees no escape.


    ¡±Okay, tomorrow we have to talk about a Ranger how such cases are handled.


    At worst I could release you at the Safari Zone, I believe. But that quite far.


    Maybe there is a Procedure for such cases?¡±


    ¡±Tau?¡±


    ¡±Yeah, Safari Zone. Many Pokemon there which are bred and or trained to be captured at a relative wild open place, I think?


    I am not an Expert. At some point I would like to go there myself, for the Pokemon you can capture there, buuut I have the whole Ranch here.


    Not properly learning the Ropes for it foul be fatal if I come back and urgently need to do something, without knowing what.¡±


    ¡±Tau.¡±


    ¡±Sorry Sorry, not going to continue bother you with my Problems. Not like you make it hard for me.¡±


    After everything was talked about, both parties have a stare showdown again.


    At least Tauros perked up again after hearing of a potential Solution.


    Well, perked up as in gazing as defiantly as before.


    Sabrina didn¡¯t notice while taking, but it seems Tauros had his Head hung lower and shoulder a bit down.


    If that is an adept description for an quadrupled hoofed Pokemon.


    ¡±Okay, want to go in the Pokeball or out with Bulbasaur?¡±


    ¡±Tau.¡±


    ¡±Okay, just don¡¯t do anything stupid.¡±


    ¡±Tauros.¡±


    ¡®Who do you think I am?¡¯ or something along the Line he seems to say.


    Since Sabrina doesn¡¯t want to risk it and let Tauros go out himself, she recalls him Back quickly and let him out through the Window.


    She then goes back to her Book.


    How to care for what berry, how pollinator Pokemon can help, grafting etc..


    Grafting especially catches her attention.


    The weird thing is, that noticeable results of grafting of berries seem to need excessive help from Pokemon.


    Or Land blessed by Shaymin.


    Otherwise, Turtwig, Roserade, Bellosom, Trevenant, pollinator Pok¨¦mon¡¯s, Gloom or Vileplums secretions and Pokemon with the ability Harvest can be very useful for checking the Condition of the Land and Pokemon and improving it.


    Relaying on Meganium isn¡¯t recommended, as revitalised Plants will lack Flavour and Nutritions that way, even though it speeds the process up.


    Noting down the information, especially getting a Trevenant which is a Pokemon she really likes, she decides to read the last bits.


    It¡¯s only two Pages, but what makes Sabrina restless is how it goes into detail how good her Plot of Land is.


    Even knowing it was blessed by a Shaymin, which she didn¡¯t know.


    And at the end is written ¡®Author: Arceus.¡¯.


    Sabrina didn¡¯t get an comfortable sleep tonight.
