Arthur had no idea what these little bugs were, but they were cute, he could give them that. They reminded him of bees, and sure enough, the tooltip said that they were Rimbombee. They looked much friendlier than Beedrills and seemed to be requesting for their aid.

He had strolled into this particular event while still searching for the Shroomish, and it was not like the pop up was hard to miss (it covered a good chunk of his vision and its font was not in the usual sans serif, so his game reward senses were tingling and he figured it would be worth to take a look). So here he was, surrounded by buzzing little friendly bees, and their request was simple enough: help harvest all of the berries off the trees to make way for new ones. He was not sure why they were having trouble this time around, but perhaps there were fewer bees? More berries? More shenanigans? Who was to say.

Anyway, he pulled out most of his Pokemon in his party to help - Gou was not chosen because him being a fire type could scare the bees, and he wasn't sure if Anta could carry berries around with her back, since she was somewhat tiny and needed to balance them or something (unless he put a basket on her back? Hm, that was an option). Actually, he intended to only let out three, but Bari couldn't resist the ripening smell of berries and popped out on his own, looking all too eager to "help". Arthur immediately held him back by the tail, eliciting a yelp from the squirrel before looking rather hurt. <Oh boss, I know we've only known each other for a short time, but please trust me! I won't eat the berries (most of them) and I'm really good at harvesting!>

Arthur had a mental imagery of the squirrel stuffing his cheeks with fruit and then spitting them out. He wondered if the bees would be offended. ❝No funny business, alright? Otherwise I'm leaving you to the bees.❞

The squirrel stood straight and saluted. <You got it!> and immediately scampered off to the nearest tree. The trainer told Kanya to follow him so that he could collect the berries (without drool, hopefully), while the Cottonee was coaxing Mugan to another tree. She would use sharp leaves to cut the fruit for the Druddigon to catch. Most of the time, the dragon was successful, but he sometimes accidentally stepped and crushed on overripe fruit, or he wouldn't get the trajectory right and the fruit would bounce (or get pierced) by his skin. Whoops. Thankfully, his hide was hard enough that the berries falling on him didn't bother him all that much.

<< Party >>

          

Gently taking the Pollen Puff from the little...Ribbombee, Tabula would smile politely as they could.
"It's okay. You need help with the harvest, and that's what I'll do."

Event Horizon: Hard work, in the form of some berry picking.

Having been walking through the forest previously before the pop-up appeared in front of their face, this was just another simple thing to do - picking ripe fruit and helping with the harvest. Just a simple moment, nice and relaxing.
But this mention of a fire...well, that got their attention.

So, while picking some ripe Oran berries and Aspear berries, they would be quietly listening in on Nero and Kyukon's potential conversation. However, while picking berries, one would drop to the ground, rolling into a pile of leaves.
Letting out a quiet huff, the glass-haired person would crouch down to move the leafpile away, only to find a charm - a emerald bright as a crisp green apple, with a silver-ish ring atop it - picking it up alongside the fallen berry, it glints in the light.

Common Sense: Oh - it's...nice.
Tailwind: Give it to the bees!
Common Sense: ...Why?
Tailwind: They gave you a pollen puff! It'd be nice to return the favour!

Thus, Tabula would return to where the little bugs were hovering about, holding out the charm and berry for the Ribbombee to take if they would like.
"I found this in a leaf pile when picking some of the ripe berries when one rolled away from me. I thought you'd like it as a thank you gift. For the puff."

Prompt: Find something unexpected in a pile of leaves.
