Bab 4: C004 - Fiery guests
Even though he couldn't see it, Pete was sure the sun was about to set, and his second night in the cabin would start soon. The storm had still not stopped. To prepare for the night, Pete stepped out and took a leak.
When he came back and made himself comfortable on the bed with Solosis, Pete started to hear noises other than the storm from outside.
But what made him even more apprehensive than the noise was the light coming from outside. It was fire, he was sure of it. And what human would run around with a lit torch in this heavy rain? Nobody would. It was a pokemon then, it had to be. And if they had flames on their body permantly and they survived this rain, they were bound to be strong.
Something scratched the door with a weak cry Pete couldn't fully make out because of the rain. The scratch, however, came from something hard. Claws, horns, or maybe hooves?
Wait, hooves, in the game route 27 had Ponyta spawns, no? Should he open the door for a flaming horse, then? It could control its flames to not burn what it shouldn't apparently, and the Ponyta line was rather tame all things considered. They certainly weren't born assholes like Zangoose or any of the snake pokemon.
Pete moved to the window next to the door to take a look. The pokemon wouldn't stop trying to enter anytime soon, so he made no real effort to hide, only enough to quickly move away from the pokemon's line of sight if needed.
What he saw was a little out of his expectation. He saw a towering Rapidash with shoulders about as high as Pete was tall next to a Ponyta that barely reached his waist. First impression for Pete? A young foal with its parent.
"Hey Rapidash, I'll let you in to hide from the storm, but can you promise me you won't try to hurt me and my pokemon and that your baby can control its flames enough to not burn down this cabin?"
Pete's loud voice instantly made the tired looking Rapidash look to him in the window. It didn't even take a second to deliberate the question and immediately nodded its head with a desperate gaze.
"Alright, I'll trust you for now. Please don't make me regret it," Pete shouted as he moved the chair that blocked the door and opened it.
"Give me a second, I think the tent in my bag should be fireproof and a better sleeping place for you and your young than the dusty floor."
Pete moved to the desk where he had piled up his bags. By now, there were 'only' six in the room. One of them held nothing but the other four empty ones, and the other five held content based on a category Pete made up. Food, precious items, survival, poke gear, and lastly, the biggest of the bags held materials.
Food is self-explanatory. Precious items included the evolutionary items, among other things. Survival held the tent he just mentioned, the generator and other related things. Poke gear was for poke balls and potions he managed to salvage. Materials included everything from firewood, serviceable crates, and soon also seeds and maybe even entire saplings that he can transplant.
"This here on the bed is my girl Solosis. She only hatched a little over a day ago," Pete introduced as he placed the tent tarp with holes in it on the floor. He hoped the motherly instincts in the Rapidash would be the final tipping point if needed that would dissuade the Rapidash from killing him in his sleep.
Solosis did a bit of training earlier, floating around and lifting things with telekinesis, so she was a bit tired. She didn't bother floating over to the two fiery horse pokemon and only did something akin to a nod from inside her skinsack.
'Now that I think about it, I don't suppose she can make noises? Her mouth is behind that skin and submerged in the fluid, so how could her sounds travel and be more than muffled mumbling?'
As answer, Pete heard an almost sad 'Solosis' ring out in his mind as confirmation.
'Oh, hey girl. Can you tell the gender of our guests? Especially the Rapidash, I don't want to call it something wrong,' Pete asked in his mind while looking toward Solosis with a smile.
Some emotions and vague imagery came to his mind, and he interpreted it as 'big girl, small boy', so Pete was likely looking at a mother with her son. Good to know.
"Hey Rapidash. I know you just came out of the heavy rain, and as a fire pokemon, you probably have seen enough water for a while. But even you should probably drink something clean to stay healthy. Look at the bucket over there filling up. You can drink from that," Pete softly advised as the tall Rapidash fussed over the exhausted Ponyta whose mane was barely flickers and embers. The second Pete was done laying down the tent the Ponyta was already lying on its belly with his head between his two front legs.
Rapidash heard Pete and saw the truth behind his words. However, the Ponyta already lost enough power and would probably enjoy a hot drink compared to a cold one. So Rapidash nudged the bucket closer to her weak offspring and heated the water with some embers. With another nudge, this time to her child's behind, the weakened fiery horse started drinking in big gulps.
When he was done shortly after, Rapidash drank the rest and nudged the now empty bucket back to its original place so it could keep collecting rainwater from the leaky roof.
"Thanks, you're quite the smart one, aren't you? I was just about to ask Solosis to move the bucket back," Pete praised with a smile from his seated position on the bed.
With a neigh that somehow incorporated a syllable of its species' name, Rapidash accepted the praise and laid down close to her offspring to keep him warm.
"We're a little low on food ourselves, but these treats here are very filling and apparently good to eat for all types of pokemon. Care for one? I have one for your Ponyta, too, once you're sure they aren't harmful," Pete offered cautiously with a treat on his outstretched hand.
Rapidash, in turn, looked at Pete, then his hand, and moved her head closer to sniff the treat. Her breath was very warm, hot even, yet somehow not scorching Pete mused. The mother carefully picked up the treat and ate it carefully, making sure that she would taste any possible poison if needed.
"Care for another? Then one for your boy?"
Rapidash ate a second treat, this time a little less reserved, and carefully closed her eyes to feel her body. It took a few minutes where she looked toward Solosis, possibly 'talking' via telepathy, until Rapidash decided to give one of the treats to Ponyta. Sleepily, Ponyta ate the treat and immediately put his head down when he was done swallowing, likely falling asleep instantly.
"Okay, I'll let you rest now. I'm still going to read a little before sleeping myself. Uh, please don't rummage through those bags over at the desk, not sure how durable they are. And uh, the firestone next to the three eggs here in the case? Not sure how enticing it is to you as a fire pokemon, but please don't fully use up its energy while I'm not looking?"
Pete wasn't sure about this. He did write that pokemon could use these evolution stones to empower their affinity. But how much and how fast was the drain on such a stone? There was no way for him to know that, nobody knew for sure. Species with singular typing usually drained matching stones faster. But it didn't come with a percentage meter or something like that, and he had no fire affinity himself, so he couldn't feel out how powerful the stone was.
Done with his deliberation, Pete looked toward the two eggs he put next to the fire stone for warmth to make them hatch faster. He decided on the two Minccino and the Sunkern eggs. Both Pokemon are surely the weaker among his choices, but they would therefore also hatch faster. Perchance.
Also, while he wouldn't stay in this dusty cabin much longer, the Minccinos would greatly help with keeping his surroundings clean. Their pokedex entry, even for the evolved form Cinccino, explained that this pokemon used its tail and later its scarf to keep itself and its immediate environment clean. And Pete himself was a rather clean person. A clean person in desperate need of a toothbrush. First things first, if the weather allows it, he would probably look for a sort of toothbrush alternative among the twigs of the surrounding trees.
Pete studied the book on edible plants a little longer before he decided he would go to sleep. He put the book on the nightstand, nodded toward Rapidash, who observed his movements and turned off the flashlight.
Solosis found a more comfortable position this time, more comfortable for her anyway, and laid down right next to Pete's head. Between him and the firestone, effectively monopolizing the stone's and Pete's heat for herself. It didn't matter much, Pete fell asleep very fast anyway.
When Pete woke up, he noticed the room was way warmer than last night. He wasn't flooding his sleeping bag with sweat just yet, especially because it was the luxurious kind that controlled the temperature a little, but the difference was still noticeable.
Of course, Pete quickly remembered his two fiery guests, so he didn't have to wonder for long from where the extra warmth came from. Nothing smelled burned either, so Pete calmed down quickly.
Pete sat up and Rapidash immediately opened her tired eyes to observe the movements. Which was astonishing intuition and survival instincts on her part because his sleeping bag made pretty much no sound at all.
"Hey, good morning, big girl," Pete softly greeted so as to not wake up the two young pokemon who were still asleep in the room.
Still not sensing any form of hostility from the human, Rapidash relaxed and curled her head back toward her son, helping him stay as toasty as possible for a nice recovery.
And what a recovery it was. The foal was still very much asleep, but already, it looked amazingly energized. His mane was pretty much fully recovered to what Pete assumed was its regular volume, luster, and form.
Done marveling the horse pokemon, Pete pulled his attention to the window. The sun was just starting to rise above the horizon, and Pete noted with delight that he saw this world's sun for the very first time. It was still raining lightly, but the storm was definitely over.
'Which means I'll have to get going, too. I don't know if Team Rocket could get here quickly or not. Sure, Teleport could work, but the pokemon would had to have been here first and that's a lot of coincidences,' Pete mused as he began to take stock of everything he wanted to keep with him.
'Definitely one of the buckets, even that ceramic bowl, the flashlight, and the books. But honestly, it feels a little bad to just rob the owner of the cabin like that, especially the TM-CDs. I should leave some luxury balls as compensation. The evolution stones I need. Same is true for the food and the equipment is also necessary for me at this stage. One of the TM is probably a bit much. What if a random passerby comes instead of the owner? Nah, luxury balls it is. They are valuable, sure. But their true worth for a Kanto trainer comes from the fact that they aren't yet sold in Kanto. And it's not like I would ever need the full 100 balls I got from the crates before I had some form of income that would allow me to buy more... right?'
Pete silently got dressed, prepared some carbos infused water for Solosis, who slowly woke up and packed up what he wanted to keep. Rapidash didn't observe him the entire time with her gaze, but her ears were always turned in his direction. And whenever he was in front of her, the flaming unicorn would open her eyes a little to take a look.
Solosis woke up eventually and started to float over to her breakfast drink. The scene of her inflating her skin with the drink and then drinking it to shrink down were still as comical as ever. And a drink was enough for her too this morning.
When Pete offered her half a marble of the poketreat like she ate before, the newborn pokemon shook her head and projected a feeling of fullness into him.
So Pete offered the treat to Rapidash instead, who quickly gulped it down.
"Here, I'll pour some in the bowl for you. Solosis and I will take a look outside. Maybe we'll find some food closeby," Pete whispered so as to not wake the Ponyta. After putting six treats into the ceramic bowl that held a second fire stone on his first night in the cabin, Pete stepped outside with as little sound as he could make and Solosis staying on top of his head.
Pete immediately spotted a few edible plants and spices behind the cabin and Pete was able to use the knowledge he soaked up through his brother in his last life to identify sprigs and offshoots he could cut for his future farm. Even some seeds didn't escape his sight.
Though, he didn't have a knife or scissors, but he did have a luxury nail clipper for the claws of feline pokemon, it worked well enough for anything thinner than big toe and could even cut steel... apparently. And so he used a luxury grooming tool like garden shears.
Just like that, Pete and Solosis spent a pleasant hour outside. They found a few more edible plants and even two different kinds of berries. Just over the hill behind the cabin. Oran berry and Leppa berry. The first aids in recovery, the second restores stamina.
The Oran berry was round and blue in color, and it grew on trees with coral-colored leaves. Fully grown, the trees roughly reached Pete's shoulder, and Pete was lucky enough to find quite a few saplings that apparently shot up during the storm around the bigger Oran berry trees after the heavy rain. Together with Solosis, Pete was able to unearth quite a few of these saplings and quickly put them in his bag. Pete hoped these miracle plants would survive a few weeks like that.
The same was true for the Leppa berries, which reminded him of small-ish apples with yellow bottoms and red tops. They didn't grow on trees but rather bushes with thin thorny brambles and giant, pink leaves. At the end of a branch, five to seven leaves would grow out, and the Leppa berry would grow in the middle of the leaves.
They wouldn't be happy with it, but the book on berries explained that Oran berries were nutritious enough to be the sole source of food for pokemon for a prolonged period of time, so discovering almost fifty ripe Oran berries in addition to the saplings was quite the lucky find.
For himself, Pete found what looked to be this planet's potato but with an orange hue. And quite a few of them too, because a single plant when dug out had over twenty fist sized potatoes on it underground. Four of these plants later, Pete decided this was probably enough. As convenient as the bags were, they didn't come with a stasis enchantment, and he didn't feel like he cleaning out moldy food from a truck sized space.
When he arrived back at his temporary base, Ponyta was still asleep. Rapidash, however, was up now that her son looked to be on a path to full recovery and sniffed the case with the firestone and the eggs on Pete's nightstand.
At first, Pete's mood dropped a little, thinking that the freeloader was absorbing the firestone's energies, but he heard a crack that he had heard before. And it didn't belong to the stone. No, that was the same crack he heard the night Solosis hatched.
Bab 5: C005 - Here comes trouble, make it double! (cute version)
*Cr-crack*
Pete, a tired Solosis and a lively Rapidash were watching as two eggs hatched simultaneously.
"Ciiii" "N-no, min-min!"
Both Minccino broke out of the eggs at the same time. One sounded very tired, the other one sounded very bright and eager to explore its surroundings already. Once they broke enough of the eggshell to get out of the egg, though, they both just kind of collapsed into each other devoid of any energy.
Their fur was already fully grown. However, it was also very wet, probably from the egg's insides. So Pete softly picked them both up as they fit into a palm each.
"Hey Rapidash, could you warm up one of the buckets?"
The mother complied readily and did as asked. Pete sat down on the floor next to the bucket of heated water, put one of Minccino into his lap, and gently began to clean the fur of the other little chinchilla pokemon.
He wasn't lucky enough to gain yet another shiny, not that he thought he would. Solosis informed him that both light-gray rodent pokemon were girls, which isn't too out of line, because to Pete's knowledge, this particular species had a higher rate of female births.
The little newborn were very cute and immediately warmed up to Pete, nuzzling into his hand. After they were clean and dry, courtesy of a little shake and soft use of fire energy from Rapidash, Pete noted how incredibly soft their fur was. Especially the fur of their ears that were just as big as their entire torso and their tail that was almost twice as long as their torso.
Though, having their tails touched didn't excite the two babies as much as soft scritches on their ears. They melted into his hand when Pete softly stroked their fur around the ears.
"Hey, you two. Now that you are both presentable and look as cute as a button, let's talk. I'm new to this whole thing, having pokemon, I mean, but I would love it if you stuck around with me. Eventually, we'll settle on the farm I want to create. Are you two interested?"
Pete purposefully explained it in a way that might also entice Rapidash and her foal to follow along, though he didn't think it would work. Now that that storm was over, what stopped the mother from finding her herd again?
"Mincciii" "Cino-Cino!" Both newly hatched pokemon immediately agreed, so Pete took out two luxury balls and had the Minccino press their little paws on the button.
Just like that, Pete had three pokemon before his third day in this world ended.
"Hey Rapidash, uh, now that the storm is over, me and my pokemon are going to try and make our way to Johto. You heard me just now, I want to live a quiet life there at a place called Evergreen Meadow close to Ilex Forest. Not sure if you know the names humans give to places, though... it's close to Celebi's home? Does that help?"
Pete addressed Rapidash after he released his two new normal pokemon and placed them on his still not packed up sleeping bag to rest. He fed the two babies little pieces of the poke treat and started heating up a bowl of water to make some potato stew for himself before he's going to start his journey.
"Not sure why you two were wandering around in this storm all alone, but if you need a place to stay, I'd love to take you with me. You seem like a lovely pokemon and, uh, honestly I'd probably need a pokemon as strong as you to even make it there," Pete continued speaking, though at the end he kind of stopped and scratched his head a little embarrased.
"I'd totally get it you just want to get back to your herd now that Ponyta is doing better," Pete added as he started cutting up the potatoes he had washed before with the grooming tool he had used to cut sprigs and offshoots earlier.
Rapidash moved closer, breathed softly close to bowl that Pete was trying to heat, and laid down close to it to keep the temperature steady.
"See, you're already invaluable. Who knows how long that would have taken, haha. Can't wait until I can snack some proper cooking tools once we reach civilization," Pete praised with a kind smile.
Rapidash turned to Solosis, and they apparently communicated for a while. After some time, while the potatoes were softly boiling with a few of the spices Pete had found, Solosis communicated the feeling of two balls in his mind, then Pete was made to picture both horses in his mind.
"Oh, you agree, Rapidash?" Pete asked excitedly as he immediately guessed what Solosis tried to convey.
Rapidash nodded her head, and Pete could have sworn he saw her smile. It was crazy how much emotion pokemon could show with their expressions.
"Nice, having you around is going to make this all so much easier! If you'd let me, I could even ride you, and we'd arrive at New Bark town in no time! Uh, not that I've ever been on a horse this tall before... we'd definitely have to train me a little before you could take off at your full speed," Pete shily added at the end.
Rapidash gained an amused glint at Pete's musing.
The stew was done and only needed to simmer for a while, so the potatoes won't be too hard. With what he had, no amount of cooking time would make this a gourmet meal, and he wanted to get some distance done today anyway.
However, it would still need a few minutes, so Pete got up and picked up two luxury balls, and just like that, Pete's total pokemon count shot up to five.
Rapidash and Pete talked a little. Well, Pete did most of the talking, but through nods and shakes of her head and suitable questions, Pete learned a lot while they waited on the stew.
Rapidash fled during the storm when a team with poison pokemon and the occasional water pokemon started attacking their herd. Apparently, the patriarch of the herd was a giant and very old Rapidash that had recently fought a wild Arbok, and despite winning and eating plenty of berries, it was still poisoned. The storm didn't do his recovery any favors, so the herd was told to split up.
With the patriarch gone, Rapidash mused that the herd would probably break up and search two other Rapidash led herds here in the region. And, which was just a guess on Pete's part, these herds wouldn't really like raising a newborn male pokemon. That's animal behavior from his old world, though, and was more in line with feline pack mentality. Which means he could be totally wrong about any of that.
Well, something bothered Rapidash in any case. So, instead of joining a new herd, she decided to stay with Pete, who showed her plenty of kindness.
The fiery unicorn even surprised Pete with a path she knew that they could take to Johto without having to climb the Tohjo Waterfalls or swimming along the coastline, which would be suicide anyway.
It would be a bit of a climb, but except for the odd Sandslash or its babies, the path would be safe. Pete suggested he'd ball Ponyta for the climb to be extra sure nothing happens, and Rapidash agreed.
"Okay, I think the stew won't turn any better with just these ingredients, so I'll start eating. You five can drink a little of the infused water in these two buckets over there, and if you want, you can taste a little cooked potato. I'll try it first," Pete explained and started eating by drinking from the bowl and sticking the potato pieces with a long and pointy twig he found earlier among the Leppa berry bushes. He really wished for a spoon or even a fork right about now.
"Very bland, definitely needs some salt," Pete immediately judged with a grimace as he had his first mouthful.
"I'll endure, and eventually, I'll find some Yoseban trees for some fatty and protein-rich addition to my food. The book did say it tastes a little like Farfetch'd meat and honestly, from the description, it sounds like a tree where instead of soy beans you just pick up processed tofu," Pete mused under his breath.
Seeing his face and guessing his mood from the muttering, none of his pokemon wanted a piece except for the one Minccino that's a little more cheerful than the other one.
"Cinooo~"
Minccino whined a little when she was done chewing. It didn't taste too great, apparently.
"I promise, in a few days, I'll cook you a feast," Pete assured when he saw how his first try at cooking in this world almost made his pokemon cry.
Done with his bowl of stew, Pete began to pick up all that was left in the cabin. He left the note that came with the TM-CDs in the cabin with a 'sorry' written underneath and placed five luxury balls under the pillow of the dusty bed.
He thought about leaving his name and future destination on the note, too, but eventually decided against it. Who knew, even the luxury balls could already be a dead give away on who looted the beached containers, and he didn't want the potential trouble of Team Rocket coming to take back what's theirs if they found the note.
He would even hide the extra bags when entering New Bark Town and only show them to Professor Elm at most, just to be sure.
On his way west led by Rapidash with an excited Ponyta looking all over the place and both Minccino and his Solosis riding in his hoodie, Pete kept a look out for danger and especially more edible plants.
It was now midday, so he couldn't raid all the berry trees and bushes unbothered because the pokemon began to notice that the storm had ended and started looking for food.
Thankfully, his tall Rapidash was intimidating enough that they weren't attacked so far. And even a few hours later, they hadn't seen another human soul.
When they reached Tohjo Falls, Pete's haul included a few more Orans and Leppas, and he even found a patch of Rawst berries, whose plants reminded him of strawberry bushes, barely reaching one's knees. They had orange leaves, however, while Rawst berries themselves were more or less light-blue strawberries. With a young fire pokemon on the team, accidents were bound to happen. So having a great treatment for burns available was a great find.
He didn't get to dig up any saplings of the Pecha berry tree because a Dodrio tribe guarded these trees, but Rapidash did break him off a branch with a few Pecha berries on it.
Maybe he could graft the branch onto another healthy tree or, with some grass type energy bullshittery, have the branch grow some roots on its own. In any case, these berries came with stones inside that he could plant.
The trees barely reached his chest height, had grey and green leaves, while Pecha berries looked literally like peaches with a pink hue. They would help against most poisons, so it was a rather lucky find yet again.
After that, they seemed to have exhausted the pool of berry variety growing on this route, so all they found was a few more Orans and Leppas. But even they were guarded by a whole bunch of pokemon, and Pete was thanking his lucky stars that Rapidash agreed to stay with him.
Eventually, the air started to feel a little more wet. The quiet thundering noise up ahead got louder and louder with every step. It was only a little more than four hours until sun down if Pete had to guess, so they still had plenty of time left to do the climb that Rapidash told him about.
The well trodden path led to a cave where all the wet air and noise came from, but Rapidash nudged Pete to the right into the thick bushes. It made sense to not use this path. Neither of the two wanted or even could climb up the five story high waterfall inside a cave with wet walls.
A good half an hour after they found another cave, this one decidedly not housing a waterfall if the quiet atmosphere and regular humid air of the forest were any indication.
The cave it turned out was rather well lit, several holes in the cave ceiling let in some sunshine from above to the chagrin over several Zubat who hid behind corners and pillars to stay in the shadows.
A few minutes of maneuvering in the difficult cave path, a fork was up ahead. One led to darkness, while the other one was still well lit.
Rapidash chose the well lit path, but Pete strained his eyes to look into the other path.
"Hey, wait a sec, Rapidash. I think I see some Bocan Mushrooms over there. Would you mind coming with me to pick some? I promise I just want a handful to maybe grow them later," Pete called out in a quiet voice.
Rapidash looked to him, then back to the dark cave, and nudged her head to Ponyta.
"You want me to ball him? In case we need to haul ass out of here?"
Rapidash nodded.
"Alright, little buddy, you heard your mom," Pete said as he took out Ponyta's ball from the quick grab pouch of his bag with the poke gear.
As he recalled Ponyta and Rapidash moved into the dark path to light it up a little with her fiery mane and tail, Pete followed closely.
"Hmm, you think we find some cute Paras here? They could help tend to a mushroom garden, I think," Pete whispered as he kneeled down to pluck some of the Bocan mushrooms.
These mushrooms looked like a strip of dried jerky with a blood red, wrinkled cap on top and white 'veins' that made it look like meat marbled with fat.
According to the plant guides, this mushroom should taste like Tauros bacon if treated a certain way. However, you shouldn't eat too much of these in a short while as a human because they build up a certain toxin in your blood that slows your heart rate. Perfectly fine in small doses and digested in a few days after consumption, but too much of these mushrooms without stop and you would die of a heart attack.
When he was done picking up a good wash basin full of these mushrooms, Pete had enough. He didn't want to push his luck, and both of his Minccino were shivering in his hoodie. Apparently, they were very much scared of the dark.
"Hey Rapidash, I got enough, we can go back," Pete whispered.
But Rapidash didn't look to him. Instead, she looked into the dark with rapt attention.
"Something there?" Pete whispered even quieter than before.
Suddenly, without warning, Rapidash shot what looked to be the move Flamethrower into the dark and picked up Pete by his collar with her blisteringly hot mouth and ran back into the lit path.
Because of the flames, Pete could make out what got Rapidash so riled up. Five towering moutains of orange, covered all over in mushrooms, were releasing spores non-stop and were glaring and screeching their hearts out in their direction.
"Holy shit! Are those Parasect? That's straight-up nightmare fuel!"
Pete shouted his heart out. Even though Rapidash merely dragged him for a short 8-second sprint, it felt like a 10 minute long trip. Once they were back into the lit part of the cavern, Rapidash released Pete and looked him over a little worriedly.
"Ugh, I'm fine! But you could have warned me that Paras and its evolution look like they are straight out of a horror movie! I'm definitely not catching those, no chance!"
Rapidash, done with her fussing, let out a little scoff.
"Anyway, what were those spores? Probably Stun Spore, right? So we would get paralyzed, and they can turn us into mushroom fertilizer? Ugh, gives me the creeps," Pete thought with a shudder.
"Well, no Cheri berries in our loot so far. You think a Pecha berry would help there?"
Rapidash tilted her head, and she indicated she wasn't quite sure with a soft neigh.
"My face tingles a little, I think I'll feel better if I eat a Pecha berry," Pete decided and rummaged through the bag with the food a little to pick up a fist-sized peach looking fruit.
After one big bite for himself, Pete broke off two pieces with his fingers as best he could to give to the two Minccino.
"Hey, Solosis, you should have the ability Overcoat, so spores do nothing to you. Still want a piece?" Pete offered the little light-blue blob in his hoodie another piece, a little bigger than the other two before, so his first pokemon wouldn't be upset.
He felt an affirmitive image in his mind, so he reached back to feed her some Pecha berry, too.
"I promise your Ponyta will get some later, but do you want the rest now?"
Pete pocketed the stone from inside the berry to possibly grow a tree out of it later and gave the rest to the hero of this particular adventure.
"Thanks for saving our butts, Rapidash. All the smooth sailing before lowered my vigilance, I think. At least we got a nice haul of Bocan mushrooms... ugh, now my hands are sticky with berry juices," Pete first thanked the flame unicorn, then complained when he felt his hands.
"Man, what I wouldn't give for a proper knife right n-"
Pete's complaint was interrupted by one of the small Minccino hopping out of his hoodie, running down his arm and stopping at his wrist with her tail pointed at his hand.
"What are you doing, little girl?" Pete asked curiously when he noticed the little chinchilla scrunching up her entire face in concentration.
"Ciiiiiii!" A little squeak sounded out, and suddenly, her tail was covered in water. It wasn't much, but this was clearly a water type move.
"Woah, you know Aqua Tail? That's amazing, Minccino!"
After a short moment of shock, Pete quickly used the little water the tail offered to rinse his hands. When he told her she could stop, the water as one fell off her tail to the ground. Done with the move, her tail was once again completely dry. Magnets, how do they work?
Without prompt, Rapidash had dried Pete's hands softly with fire type energy, so he could pick up the little wonder with the unexpected water move.
"That's so cool! That was an egg move you probably learned from one of your parents. Someone in your lineage was probably a Buizel or its evolved form Floatzel. I mean, it could be something else, too, but I think that's what your other parent would have most likely mated with," Pete explained as he happily scratched Minccino's ear.
She didn't understand much about egg moves or whatever, so she just enjoyed the praise and the scritches.
