Chapter 10: Moomoo Milk
On their way to Olivine, we find our heroes walking along a path quenched with thirst and their canteens empty.
"So. Thirsty." Aaron complained.
"I'm a Fire Pokemon Trainer. I can withstand the pain of oh who am I kidding? WATER!"
"So much for withstanding the pain of thirst." Aaron joked. "Look! A farm!"
"PIKA!" (WE'RE SAVED!)
The two boys and the one pokemon ran to the farm and knocked on the door. When it was opened, it revealed an older couple.
"Can we help you?" the old woman asked.
"Please. Do you have anything for us to drink?" Andy got on his knees and begged.
"Would milk be sufficient?" the man asked.
"ANYTHING!" the boys said.

"Thank you so much for the milk." Aaron thanked to older couple.
"Your welcome. You two are lucky that you got here when you did." The man said.
"Our Milktank, has gotten sick." The woman explained. "So we are starting to run low on milk."
"That's terrible." Andy said.
"Can we help?" Aaron asked.
"I suppose." The woman said. "But I don't know what you can do."

The woman and man led the two boys and the Pikachu to the barn next door. When they got there, they saw two girls and a very sick looking Milktank.
"Pikachu?" (Are you feeling alright?)
"Milk" (No)
"Is that the Milktank?" Andy asked.
"Yep. This is Moomoo." One of the girls said to him.
Aaron pulled out his Pokedex.
Milktank the Milk Cow Pokemon. If it has just had a baby, the milk it produces contains more nutrients than usual.
"Is there anything we can do?" Aaron asked.
"It needs berries. But we don't have any." One of the girls said.
"Hey Aaron, didn't we pick all of those berries on the way?"
"Oh yeah." Aaron said digging through his pack. "Here."
After about six berries, Moomoo the Milktank was feeling much better.
"Thank you so much." The old woman said.
"Is there any way we can repay you?" the man asked.
"You gave us something to drink. I think we're even." Aaron told them.
"Can I see that paper?" Andy asked as he saw a glimpse of the headline in the paper the man was holding.
"Sure." He said giving the older boy the paper.
"Aaron. Look at this."
Aaron read,
MORE SURVIORS OF THE S.S. ANNE.
The five trainers thought to have sunk with the S.S. Anne only a week ago have been found alive. Using their Pokemon, the five trainers managed to escape from the bottom of the ocean and made their way back to land.
"That's great!" Aaron exclaimed.
"I bet their parents are extremely happy." Andy added.
"Pi Pikachu pi" (Thank goodness.)
"How far is it to Olivine?" Aaron asked.
"Not far." One of the girls told him.
"Just 5 miles south." The other one added.
"Thank you. We better be going now." Aaron said.
"Thank you. I don't know how much more of Moomoo's sickness we could take. Moomoo milk is very popular. Here." The older man said before giving the two boys free samples.
"Thanks. We'll see you around."
"Bye Boys!" the family bade the boys goodbye.
