Venusaur's gratitude and reward

"Dragon Move – Strong Style: Dragon Claw!"

Boom!

As Fraxure's tusks struck the ground, a palpable vibration rippled through the earth, leaving a visible and impressive slash on the terrain. The onlookers were taken aback by this sudden display of power.

Floyd, with a mixture of surprise and pride, quickly checked Fraxure's stats:

Floyd marveled at Fraxure's improvements, particularly the sharpened precision of the Tusks as they cleaved the ground. "The next focus for Fraxure should be his Tusks," he murmured thoughtfully to himself.

Rushing over to Fraxure, Floyd embraced him enthusiastically. "Congratulations, Fraxure, you've made incredible progress!"

"Fraxure!" Fraxure responded, its voice reflecting happiness and satisfaction with his self-improvement.

Meanwhile, amidst the celebration, Ivysaur hurried to his father, leader Venusaur. "Ivysaur!" he called out, concern evident in his voice.

Venusaur, initially surprised by his son's sudden appearance, gently extended his vine whip, bridging the distance between them.

"Ivysaur~"

"SAUR!"

The father and son exchanged words, a moment of family connection.

As Floyd and his Pokémon concluded their celebration, they approached the severely injured and unconscious Ursaluna. Floyd administered an antidote powder to Ursaluna. Moments later, the poison that had afflicted Ursaluna's body dissipated.

"Bulbasaur~"

"Ivysaur~"

"SAUR~"

The leader Venusaur's subordinates, despite their injuries, returned with a sense of triumph, their faces alight with the joy of seeing their formidable adversary defeated.

Floyd, after a moment of hesitation, reached into his backpack and pulled out a Pocket Ball. With a calculated throw, he aimed it at Ursaluna.

Shwiiiiing

The Poké Ball opened, absorbing Ursaluna inside. It shook violently for a few moments, but then, unexpectedly, it rejected its captive, and Ursaluna reappeared, still unconscious.

Surprised by the resilience of this Elite Ursaluna, even in an unconscious state, Floyd prepared another attempt. He had three Poké Balls remaining and decided to try again. However, the result was the same; Ursaluna was not easily subdued.

Floyd, standing behind Ursaluna, could hardly believe his challenges in capturing this Pokémon. He remembered an important tip about Poké Balls – they were more effective when they hit a Pokémon at the back of the head.

With this strategy in mind, he slowly circled to the back of the Pokémon, hoping this angle would prove more successful, and tossed another Poké Ball.

As soon as it hit Ursaluna, the ball began to shake vigorously. Moments of tense anticipation passed, and then…

Click!

Finally, the Poké Ball clicked.

Floyd had managed to capture the Elite Ursaluna. A sense of achievement washed over him as he secured the ball.

Holding the Pocket Ball that contained the formidable Ursaluna, Floyd slipped it into his backpack for safekeeping. He then approached leader Venusaur, his demeanor calm and respectful. "Venusaur, we mean no harm. We encountered your son by accident, and he sought our help," Floyd explained.

Leader Venusaur, understanding the situation, nodded in acknowledgment. Floyd stepped closer, holding out a combination of healing powder and King's Leaf.

Ivysaur quickly chimed in, explaining the significance and use of these items. Leader Venusaur, now fully grasping their purpose, however, shook his head gently. His concern was not for himself but for his subordinates, who had also suffered severe injuries.

With a flick of his Vine Whip, leader Venusaur pointed towards a cluster of trees. Following his gesture, Floyd's eyes landed on a bounty of berries. It was clear that leader Venusaur wanted his injured subordinates to be the first to receive healing.

Understanding the unspoken request, Floyd nodded in agreement and began gathering berries from the trees. He collected a variety of them, such as Figy, Wiki, Mago, Aguav, and Lapapa. But to his surprise, he also found high-grade berries, including Haban, Babiri, Rindo, Occa, Liechi, Salac, Apricot, etc.

These were not just any berries; These berries were precisely what Floyd needed when he aim for the creation of higher-quality Pokéblocks, these berries could be the key to advancing to Advanced Breeder Mastery.

This is because the pinnacle potential of low-quality berries was limited to a lower-grade Advanced Mastery in Pokéblock crafting. And to make advanced Pokéblocks with just low-quality berries, you would need a simulation. This is because reaching advanced mastery with just low-quality berries on your own could take many years to achieve, which is far too long.

However, with access to high-quality berries, Floyd would find it easier to improve and create Pokéblocks by himself, which was crucial. Once he was able to produce Advanced quality Pokéblocks without the aid of simulation, he could accumulate a significant number of points.

Another advantage of high-quality berries is that they can speed up the process of making Pokéblocks compared to low-quality berries. 

Back at the lush scenery of Venusaur's territory, Floyd took a moment to appreciate the richness of the flora around him. The variety of berries was astounding, with each plant thriving in the well-tended environment. 

In addition to the berries, he noticed medicinal leeks and King's leaf, essential components for his healing concoctions. 

Floyd mused that the group, likely led by Venusaur, must have cultivated this area with great care and dedication. The vibrant greenery was a testament to their efforts.

However, as he surveyed the area, a tinge of disappointment crept in. Despite the abundance of plants, Floyd couldn't spot the elusive Vivichoke he was searching for. Shaking off his disappointment, he refocused on his immediate task.

He began gathering various berries, meticulously extracting their pulp. He then mixed this with the medicinal leek and King's leaf, creating a potent healing mixture. He offered this to the severely injured Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, watching as they slowly sipped the concoction. Floyd also distributed his healing powder, dividing it into multiple portions to maximize its reach.

The healing process was gradual but noticeably effective. It was slower compared to the rapid healing of Ivysaur earlier, but still impressively fast. Before long, many of the injured Pokémon showed signs of recovery. Their wounds, though still present, it were significantly less severe than before.

Floyd began to tend to the wounds of the leader Venusaur, who looked at him with gratitude. The leader had observed Floyd's care for his subordinates and even noticed Floyd placing some berries into his backpack. However, to him, this was inconsequential compared to the help that Floyd had provided for them.

"SAUR!" bellowed the leader Venusaur, calling his subordinates to attention. He conveyed a message to them with a series of gestures, and promptly, a few of his subordinates scurried off into the surrounding greenery. After a short while, they returned, each holding various items with care.

The leader Venusaur carefully sorted through the materials they brought, displaying them for Floyd to see. Among the array of items, a couple caught Floyd's attention immediately. 

The first was a seed with a distinctive yellow-green hue, its surface adorned with a spiral pattern. Floyd recognized it at once – it was a Miracle Seed, known for its ability to enhance the power of Grass-type moves.

The second item that drew Floyd's interest was a stone, unique in its appearance with a leaf-like imprint etched into it. The stone was surrounded by a gentle aura of light, almost mystical in its presence. Floyd couldn't help but exclaim in surprise – it was a Leaf Stone, a valuable item for evolving certain types of Pokémon.

As Floyd continued to inspect the assortment of items, his gaze fell upon another stone, one that caused his eyes to widen in recognition. This stone, round and smooth, bore a minimalist design featuring a swooping blue figure with brown accents. 

Floyd's heart raced as he realized what it was – a Mega Evolution Stone. This particular stone was not just any Mega Stone; it had a unique aura and color scheme that Floyd found familiar.

He studied the stone closely. The Game Panel he used for identification was unable to determine its exact nature, but as Floyd looked from the stone then to Blastoise, a realization dawned upon him. 

The blue and brown design on the stone matched Blastoise's color scheme. 

It had to be – Blastoisinite!
