Moon Apples and their Abilities
Moon Apples are grayish apples that grow in rocky or rough areas where pokemon don't live too often. They grow on small bushs, each bush holding up to seven fruits at a time. If not picked when the fruit is ripe, they fall off to make room for the new fruits behind them. The fallen fruits often decay spreading the seeds to grow more bushes. Over the many years these Apples had slowly been... Well... Disappearing, most the places they would grow are built up as cities and towns. Wandering Gardens is the only place these apples have found refuge in to grow and prosper. Lets hope they remain a few more years.
Uses:
Depending on the pokemon Type it'll either shine their coats to almost glowing or heal the sick. Over all their a good snack if one is hungry. If a human happens to eat one, they will feel ill for 24 hours after taking a bite. Just a warning, don't eat the appeas if you're human or part human.
More coming soon.

What happened before hand Sekkou: *Looked over toward Neko and her pokemon, his eyes lingering on te vibrant beauty she had deemed Willow. Shaking his head he stepped over toward Misty and Sparky. Looking down upon the small Togatic and pikachu he put a tender paw out under Misty's feet and lifted her higher into the air. All the while his heart remained caged from everyone's sight, but there was great loneliness and gentle worn on his features.*Willow: *Looks over at the other Typhlosion, his features facinated her, they looked so different from all the others of her kind that she had met. Seeing that her small friend was in distress she walked over to help* Hey it's ok Mist, maybe you should let her down. *Her voice was almost a wisper, but gentle enough that you would want to listen*Sekkou: Blinked down at Misty before returning her down to the floor. Petting her back gently he turned to walk away.* "Sorry." He said even quieter voice then Willow's. *Walking over to a different part of the shop where a garden seemed to have been planted he leaned over and seemed to start weeding the plants. The weeds burning to ash to fertilize the plants. Straightening he looked back over at the devistation he had created, looking like a child punished for something he had done wrong, the poor typhlosion remained distant from the rest, consumed by his lonliness, thinking it was his only friend.*Willow: *Feels awful for making him sad, she didn't mean to hurt anyones feelings. Misty was still a baby, and needed to be looked after more than any of the other Pokemon. Walking over to where Sekkou went, she stopped a short distance away. Her shy attitude getting the best of her, she backed up slightly* Sekkou: *His ears perked up at the sounds of foot steps behind him, the silver earing in his ear seemed dim, dule and lightly rusted from the years in the grave. Turning around a little he backed away as if alowing her, her space and enterance to the small garden that sparkled with silver ash like fertilizer. Unable to speak he merely watched her, unknown scars revealed themselves to his eyes, even if he didn't know of her past or over all anything about the beauty before him, Lowering his head a little he looked away again, ashamed that he couldn't speak to her as others could, or boast about battles won, triumps in the ages. No, there were no battles won for a many long count of years, the scars that lay stitched in heavy black twine told the story of his final battle almost 200 years before. Willing himself enough to utter something he looked back toward Willow with lonely black eyes he spoke, softly.* "Helllo Fairest." *That was all he could utter, his voice almost unhearable as he watched Willow for a reaction. His undead heart still pounded n his chest, but he kept it bared from alls sight, too scared to love again after his loss. He could never love again, 'she' was his only and he hurt her too badly.*Willow: *She let her front feet land on the floor softly, she felt afraid of him because of what she had been through, so many years if abuse and cruelty had made her wonder about all sorts of things. And maybe she would have been different, but that was so long ago now. Her heart was going fast, the situation was way too uncomfortable for her to cope with, but she felt the need to appolagise for making him feel unwanted around the small Togetic. Hearing him say hello, she felt a little braver, maybe he wouldn't feel discusted at her for the attitude she had shown, there was only one way to find out. Staring straight at him, her eyes full of the fear she felt.* H-Hi...I'm. Sorry if I made you sad, I didn't mean to. *She could see how sad he looked and it made her want to be his friend, her own scared nature was the only thing from stopping her to initiate that. He seemed so nice, but her soul had been torn before, and it was still healing.*Sekkou: *Shaking his head he looked at Willow.* "No need. No need to feel that way. You haven't made me feel sad." He stated shifting his footing a little. "I..." *He looked away, not knowing how to explain how he was feeling around the younger pokemon. He felt alive again, but it always came at times where things went wrong. Shaking his head again he sat back on the floor as if his pallid legs couldn't hold his decaying bulk anymore.* "You haven't teh need to apologize, It is I that should. I shouldn't have frightened the young one." He said watching the floor before him, soo ashamed to look up at Willow. The flames about his shoulders, darker they were from the normal flames of their species, his also burnt lower. Raising his head slowly he looked back toward her, his mind in an almost dream like state as he remembered fragments of his younger years.* "Pasts can play such cruel tricks on the mind." He muttered mainly to himself as he looked away. "You remind me of one I hurt so long ago, but I know you aren't her, not my Willow Bark."Willow: *She listend to his voice, almost in a hypnotic fasion her eyes kind of unfocused. She could related to the pain she felt from him, it was deeper and more unsettling than her own, but it was there.* Well, if you are sure about that..*Looking away, a deep gash along her neck was almost visible, one where her old trainer had decided that using a pitchfork on her would make her body stronger. There was so much she tried to forget, but sometimes, she believed she could still feel the pain of her scars. Looking up as he spoke again, she tilted her head to the side, confused* Well my name is Willow...but I am sure I've never met you before... *Looking at his own wounds, she wonderd what could have caused them all, everything about him was so different.*

"Not many have ever seen one that's ever left his burial grounds. My Mistress lets me off duty only once in a while. Other then that I'm guarding the grounds inwhich gave me life again." He stated as a paw rubbed the stitching on his cheek, a wound created from a whip with a small blade tied to the end. *Turning away from Willow he looked about the wooded area as if searching for something. Ears perking up he looked back toward Willow with a little bit of a wary smile.* "It is nice to meet you willow. My deem is Sekkou, from my previous owner. By anychance have you ever eaten Moon Apples?" He asked her wanting to change the gloom subject to something more pleasing, plus he stomach seemed to growl from years of unsatisfied hunger. *standing again he looked at Willow, not moving toward her, nor away, he wondered if she had even heard ot them, possibly not. Not many generations today have ever heard of Moon Apples.*

To her it sounded like he lived a lonely life, one full of solitude and grave misunderstandings. People couldn't understand some things, but she herself felt stuck in some way, unable to communicate properly with others. And that in itself made her lonely too, even her own family didn't communicate with her often. "It's nice to meet you Sekkou."
At the mention of food made her stomach grumble, and she blushed in embarrassment, it wasn't the kind of reply she was going to give. Smiling shyly she shook her head "No, I haven't. But they do sound delicious!" Her fur stood on end at his sudden movement, she watched him carefully as he stood up tall, looming over her it seemed. But she honestly wasn't as afraid as she had been before, and now that eating had been offered to the conversation, she was more distracted by her tummy.

*Sekkou smiled again as he turned and lumbered toward teh mountain area of the gardens. His pace seemed slow, he had a slight limp in one leg, but it didn't slow him down too badly.His nose sniffing the air.* "Moon Apples are most rare these days, but if I'm right we might be able to get at least" *He sniffs the air again before looking back toward Willow.* "At least three each if you like. Years past my owner used to grow the apples in great ammounts, but teh fields soon failed and..." *He looked to the ground, ears pressing back againat his skull.* "Everything started to fail. I was unfortunetly sold to keep the small farm going." He shook his head looked forward. "I wish not to even think of them times. Come on, if you like." He offered dropping to all fours as he lumbered further down the path toward where he could smell the apples he desired soo much.*

Willow wanderd behind him, her movements were slow and steady, and her steps were delicate and proper. "Three sounds good to me..." Listening to him talk, she wondered about his past so deeply, the mysteries he let slip left her feeling cold, but in awe of the Typhlosion he had become. No one knew her own past, and she had kept it that way for so long. He spoke so sadly of his, and yet she had told him nothing of her own.
Then she thought, 'who would want to know?' There was so much her trainer had done, not a soul alive would expect to completly understand her pain. Following closely behind, but far enough away to watch him carefully, she became worried about where they might be going, or if they got lost. "Are you positive some are around here?" She asked, feeling silly for doubting him.

*Stopping Sekkou raised himself to two legs again and looked back toward Willow. True he didn't know what her past was like, nor did he dare ask of it, he thought that she'd tell on her own free will. Then again he rammbled on about his, not knowing when to stop or even thinking about what he was even saying. Looking forward at teh mountain that he was walking toward he looked at the grayish, sparkling apples that clung to a cliff side bush. One had to wonder if they were actually apples or another type of fruit.* "I'm sure there are some here, cause there they are." He said pointing toward teh bush with seven apples upon it, one more then he had expected. "Stepping aside he looked for a safe way toward the bush, he'd hate to climb up over the rocks. Finding a path he looked back again.* "I'll go up and get the apples so you don't have to trevers this narrow path, Unless you wish to come. Up to you." He stated as he started up the path toward the bush, seemed that it was his sense of smell leading up to the apples instead of his eyes.*

His statement made her giggle a little, for the first time she actually felt she could laugh, and not be hit, Blaze was the only other that she was relaxed around and yet, sometimes she still felt stressed and unsure.
She waited for him to return with the apples, just the thought made her mouth water, they sure did look good. As she stood waiting, she thought she heard a noise, looking behind her and then back forwards. Nothing. Maybe it was her imagination?
Deciding to forget about it, she kept on watching Sekkou, he sure was mature...not young like most of the Pokemon she had met. He knew things, even if he was...you know...undead and all.

*Making his way up the path, Sekkou looked down at Willow before reaching the bush. Moving on he pulled the apples off the bush, leaving the smaller ones to grow more. Holding the Moon Apples with both arms he walked back down the path. A time or two it looked like he was going to fall, drop the apples to bruise on their way down the path. Sekkou managed to keep his balance until he was standing beside Willow again. His ears perked up a little as he looked around some. Holding the apples in one arm he held one out to Willow.* "Try one. They are really good. I lived on them... Many years ago." He said looking to the ground saying the last bit. *The apple itself looked like a stemed stone, but teh peel was tender and inside the meat was juicy and good for pokemon. To humans they weren't too savory. Sekkou hoped that Willow would like them, some said that the apples had special powers, but it was hard to tell. Some pokemon got shinnier coats or other things my happen, depending on the pokemon. When Sekkou was younger he always had a very shinny coat from eating the apples. He didn't know what the effect would be upon him now.*

Taking the apple, she sniffed it gently, her nose taking in the scent of these new kinds of fruit. It was like...honey, except she could smell apple too, the combination was weird, but kind of appealing. Opening her mouth she took a small bite, moving the food around, before swallowing. "Hmm, it's...different!" She said. Unsure of it still, she took another bite, and then another. It wasn't that bad, just new to her taste buds. After finishing it, swallowing the last part, she decided that it was good, and would be fine to eat another of them. Not like her trainers Cookies, which she loved, and were made for the different types of Pokemon she owned. But still, she could definatly see herself considering them to be her second favorite.
"Thank you!"

*Sekkou was already eating his second apple, he had set the other sown on a table like rock and was sitting beside it. Looking up at Willow his eyes seemed to be a bit brighter then they were when they first met.* "There's still five left of you want more." He offered looking at the others. "Didn't I tell you they were good? I could live off these if I had to." He says watching her. "My your fur seems to glow more radiant then it had a few moments ago." He exclaimed smiling. "It seems that these apples shine the coats of our species, though I doubt it'll work on me now." He said looking at his pallid self. "It wouldn't matter anyways, They are really meant for those...." *He wished not to finish his sentance as to not offend her. Going back to eating he couldn't help, but watch Willow. After a few moments he pulled the seeds rfom the apple core and deposited them into the ground where they'd grow. Being a gentleman he waited to see if Willow wanted anymore before taking his third apple from the small pile.*

Tilting her head to the side, she wonderd what he had been about to say, but she didn't want to pry. "I would like another, if you don't mind!" Smiling, Willow was enjoying herself. The warm air and the scents in the garden was relaxing and she couldn't help but feel a little at home. "You know I can't believe I've gone all these years without knowing about the apples.." Just as she finished talking, she heard another noise, this time much louder. Turning to look, she honestly couldn't see anything, but there had to be something making the noise.

*Sekkou stood as he watched her look around, his head turning, ears flicking forward some.* "Not many of the younger generations know about them, many believe that their not fit to eat." *He frowned and shook his decaying bulk a little as strands of fur fell to the ground turning to ash. "If I could I'd live on them for eternity.... Something wrong Willow?" Sekkou asked as he had heard something that time. *Ears turning back a little his nose sniffed the air trying to figure out what it was that was causing the noise. He did hope that no one had intruded the gardens while it was still closed. Stepping closer to Willow he watched the bushs aroung them. Shaking his bulk he looked back at teh apples that still glittered within the light.*

"I'm not sure, I thought I heard something but, I don't know...Maybe am being paranoid." Willow looked back at Sekkou carefully, trying not to seem so scared of whatever was out there. Maybe it was just a Gloom or some small Bellsprout in the garden, that is where they usually hang out afterall. Just as she was about to forget it, a Rhyhorn stepped out and snorted in their direction, he didn't seem scary or anything, but the Typhlosion wonderd how he had managed to get here in the first place.
