We were setting off for Slateport City for my trainer's contest. Her name is Hotaru, and she is a teenage girl. I, Reddish Pink the Plusle, am nervous. My sister, Bluish Purple, who is a Minun, she is impatiently waiting to get there. Hopefully, everything will go well, but I am so afraid. Dusty, the Dustox, and Beauty, the Beautifly, have done many Double Pokemon Contests, and they are part of Hotaru's team. However, this is my first one. We are traveling with our friend, Wally, who is the same age as Hotaru, and his team.
"Hotaru, I hope everything goes well at the contest," Wally said.
"Thanks, Wally. You two okay back there?" Hotaru asked.
"I'm okay. How are you, Brother?" Bluish Purple questioned.
"Nauseous," I replied.
"According to the PokeNav, Slateport is just beyond this forest. We can go to there for a checkup," commented Hotaru.
"Kirly doesn't look to good," Wally said in concern.
Hotaru: My team doesn't look good either.
Hotaru did an inspection on Pokemon. She started with her team. That included Rapid, the Rapidash, Kirly, the Kirlia, my sister, and me. Rapid suffered a burn. Kirly was poisoned. Bluish Purple was suddenly confused. I had paralysis.
"Hotaru, what are we gonna do?" Wally asked.
"I have everything we're gonna need," she peacefully replied.
"You do!" Kirly exclaimed hopefully.
Wally opened Hotaru's bag of berries. When he looked in, he was shocked. "Hotaru, all of the berries are missing! I guess when that Snorlax used Scratch on you, it took your berries."
"Well, I guess I'll have to search for more," she said.
Hotaruwent through her book, The Book of Berries, to find the berries we needed. We needed a cheri for paralysis, a pecha for poisoning, a persim for confusion, and a rawst for a burn.
"Need help, Wally?" Kirly asked.
"No, Kirly, I just need you to rest," Wally gently said.
"That goes for the rest of you," Hotaru stated.
"All right," Bluish Purple and Reddish Pink said. Rapid and Kirly nodded there heads.
"What do the berries look like?" Wally asked.
"A cheri is very small, soft, and red, with a green stem. A pecha is very soft, small, orange, and pretty bulgy. A persim is small, hard, orange, and scrawny. A rawst is hard, bluish green, bitter, and looks like a strawberry," Hotaru said as she was reading the heavy book.
"Like those over there?"
"Yes!" she cried. "Great job, Wally! Now give me a boost up those trees."
"What do you want me to do?"
"Grab the berries on the bushes."
After they gathered the berries, Hotaru blended the berries and Wally spoon-fed it to us. Rapid was completely healed, Kirly was back on his feet, Sister regained her senses, and I and could move.
Going through the forest was tough, especially battling all the grass and bug Pokemon. Luckily Rapid is a fire Pokemon. It has an immense advantage against them. Now, we are entering Slateport City.
