Primal went about his work as normal watering the berries, although he had to be a little worried... not just about his position he'd gotten comfortable with here, forever looking over his shoulder should that Magikarp creep up on him, but the berries had barely sprouted yet... Was it something Jasmine had done using that improvised mulch? Was it something HE'D done? Well, he was sure he'd have something sorted by the time Jasmine returned-
"Guys, I'm back!"
...Then again, maybe he could find somewhere to scurry off to.
Silver wings shone in the sunlight as Ironclaw brought the girl back down to the terrain, back to the main canister the bird would land, the unit rising as Jasmine would delicately make her way off of the bird's back, moving toward it.
"Thank you" A quick note to Ironclaw of course as the Skarmory would flap her wings and settle quite smugly in place. She looked around as she opened the storage section of the canister, inside were the four pokéballs - including the strange Dream Ball as well - of all the pokémon on the land.
Jasmine turned her head up, and there, heading towards her was the bat winged Lindbergh, and the non-too-rushed Queen. That saved her a lot of travelling at least!
~~~~~~~~~~~~
[All of us!] Lindbergh nearly sparkled as she tried to hold back her excitement.
"Mmm-hmm!" Jasmine nodded, as she laid her items there out on the ground for all to see... The Dream Shard, the Focus Band, the Miner's Hat, Burnout's Coal, Ironclaw's goggles, the XIII Egg and atop it all? Her Crest of the Titans.
"I got the idea in the store... and I looked at all the items we have... and I figured that this is an important mission... so I'm going to need all the help I can get. Having you guys get stronger here is fine... but that's no good to me if we're going to go get back our friends."
A murmur spread through the group, there the party of six were assembled.
Lindbergh, the starting Gligar of it all.
Burnout, the former Arcanine turned Lampent.
Ironclaw the Skarmory of the Beginner's Island.
Nightingale the nurse, the Chansey found in the dream land.
Queen, the Pawniard brought away from the traders of the tournament.
PKE, the former virus turned Rotom.
Jasmine may not have had her 'dream team', but she certainly had a line up to choose from as she would nod, and finally direct to the items there. "I think it's time we got moving to meet Joy... but now you guys have a full line of items to be ready with."
She would get up... and move toward the group, one by one, as first, she'd look to Lindbergh, picking up the Focus Band on the ground. "You and me don't always have great luck in battles-"
[Can say that again.] The Gligar snorted with a roll of eyes.
"So, maybe we can make good use of this?" Jasmine leaned in and tied the band, almost like a bandanna around the Gligar's neck there as she'd stand back, and nod, Lindbergh firing off a clawed salute as she'd move on.
There to Burnout, she held the Coal up. "Don't think we need debating how handy this has been in battle, huh?"
[Nice to see you looking at this strategically ahead for once.] The Lampent would let loose a series of noises, before the housing below his flame opened, a compartment normally used for fuel, as Jasmine would place the coal there, and he would retract the housing back up, his flame lit and shining.
To Ironclaw... the first 'traditional' capture Jasmine had ever had... she held the goggles, as the bird would sit there, and bow her head to accept them, it was rare she ever left them off, and the scarred and discolored eyes certainly showed why she needed them. But there the girl would silently place them on, solemn in reminder why she needed them... and how it was of course her own folly that had caused it.
To Nightingale... the Chansey looking around skittish, hands reaching toward her own nurse cap, before Jasmine instead placed the Miner's Hat atop the Chansey's head, "The great thing about this hat is? You can still wear the nurses' cap underneath."
"Just because we need your help in a fight, doesn't ever mean you have to give up being a nurse for that."
The Chansey smiled, her body shyly turning back and forth as she nodded in return.
[Hmmmph... and where do I fit in with all of this, hmm?]Queen had bladed arms folded, a discerning eye set up on the girl. [I notice there's nothing in that bag of tricks for me!]
"Well..." Jasmine looped the necklace around Queen's head, the Pawniard blinking and looking down... as the Crest of the Titans was given to her.
The girl would stumble a little back as she tried to retreat to get a good look, "We found that long ago on Regigigas' battle... we've never been able to figure out what it does, or how much it's worth... but, maybe me holding onto it was a mistake. Maybe we can figure it out better... and I don't think anyone but you appreciates finery more, huh?"
[...I'll consider it a favor to my beauty.] She sniffed, turning away from looking at the crest, nose upturned and eyes shut into a smug smirk.
[Me next!!] The Rotom zipped, always in a zig-zag lightning pattern now to Jasmine, dancing in mid-air, looking at the items left, which would be his, which would be his!?
"I think you'll be happy to know... that BOTH of these are yours," Jasmine declared, and before the Rotom could ask, suddenly the girl held out the shard, pressing the item against the Rotom... and for a ghost, the thing was hard to place, it didn't go straight through the spectral skin, but slowly merged, little by little, until it vanished, a sheen taking over the tiny ghost, as static filled the air... and certainly Ironclaw stood back for a moment, as PKE sheened, and rushed straight into the air!!
ABILITY UNLOCKED: PKE GAINED LEVITATE
The squeal that sang over the land went far and wide like a radio's feedback, the electric sound could have grated at ears, but PKE certainly wasn't mindful, this was more than bobbing about, this was truly flying, this way and that, from one end of the terrain to the other, all the way back... and as he passed, he shot his static at the egg, drawing it toward himself until finally, it decorated his body as well!
And there they all assembled, the ready group, Jasmine's partners, friends, acquaintances.
All in all they stood collected, a full team.
"Everyone ready?
EXIT TO POKEMON CENTER

Primal only crept out after he was sure Jasmine had vanished with the others, letting loose a long sigh as he'd return to once more tend to those berries... sprinkling water now, he could certainly see a difference as the leafy growths showed prominently now.
He was actually rather relieved, with them gone, all that was left was him to tend to the plants... and Koi... that deadpanned fish... he shuddered, what could he do but try to ignore the thing? He was so certain one day he'd turn around and find the thing behind him, poised to strike...
Well... for now, the garden needed tending and that alone was all that mattered.

Well, it was finally over...
Primal gave one last sprinkling, one last watering, and finally it was over as he would look at the berry bearing branches and looked over them all... this time he'd have to avoid the temptation to test his efforts fruits, quite literally, but at least now he was happy, he'd done his job.
Now all that would be left was to count them up and see what Jasmine would be presented with on her return!

Harvest Yield:
5x Figy Berry
1x Yache Berry
3x Bluk Berry
Primal wiped his forehead as the last berry was accounted for... 9 berries from three, not a bad result all in all, and certainly without mishap this time, maybe being alone by himself wasn't so bad after all, all that pressure gone...
It was however, as Primal went to relax afterwards that he noticed it... there... beside where once the Figy Berry Bush had been prior. A sprout of green in this dull land...
Could it be? That something had sprung up just from his work alone? He got down on all fours to inspect it with renewed excitement, looking at the tiny green object.
Well, there was only one way to find out, as he let water pour down to it....

((Gak! Forgot yesterday!!))
As Primal stood there, there indeed was the proof, the first tiny leaves sprouting from the ground... Well, it looked like it was indeed true enough, the berry plant had somehow progenated a new arrival, a new berry bush had been created in its place.
He was happy enough to be of use, he just hoped he would make sure that this plant would bloom, he hoped he hadn't been too late in getting to it...

Once again it was time, as Primal yawned, stretching arms and wandering out forward, scritching in places primates didn't feel embarrassed to reach as he wandered up toward the berry bush, the leaves branching out little by little.
And he of course was the one garnering it as he added more water to the leaves until they shone in the harsh light, water dripping off of the plant, he would certainly keep at it until it was ready to bloom.

Well, it was coming along nicely now... or so Primal thought as he looked at the sapling rising out of the ground... with one plant alone he could fully concentrate on it alone, a stick poised beside the plant to track its growth and to make sure that it grew straight, watering it gently before he'd stand back to marvel at his work... they''d already got nine berries out of three... so now they had this plant, he certainly hoped he could make sure that their hard work beared fruit, literally!

Almost there, Primal looked at the flouring plant before him and nodded, hands on hips, before promptly shaking like a wet dog, sending sprays of water everywhere over the leaves until the berry bush would glitter in the sunlight, laughing a bit before he'd move forward, instead concentrating the water at the base for the moment.
Everything was going swimmingly here, maybe it was better to have this place a little empty to himself, he could live with this for now, no pressure, no arguments... just him, and all the plants to enjoy...

Primal gazed upon his handiwork with pride, there the berry bush stood with the stick now removed, standing by itself now with no need for support. It would keep growing, but now it would widen away instead. Gaining girth and florishm as it would near closer to the date of new harvest on the bush.
Soon he'd have it all t himself to enjoy...

Well, this was it, today was the day!
Primal looked at the first berry of the bush, almost there now as the tiny bulb was beginning to take color, all it needed was a little last encouragement as he grinned and shook his head, spraying water over the bush, turning the growing berries into tiny glistening gems among thegreenery!
NOW they would see how that hard work had all gone!
