The next day, Luxray walked to Glaceon's house, seeing both Alex and Glaceon walking out of their doorway.
"Hey," Luxray started, "Where ya goin'?"
"I dunno," Alex responded, scratching his head a bit. "Just somewhere that, uh, Leaf wanted us to go to…"
"What is it?"
"Again, I dunno. Just somewhere that Leaf wanted us to go."
"You're coming with us," Glaceon added.
"What? Why?" Luxray asked.
"No one is inside—anymore. And we don't want to look like dumbasses to where we're gonna go. So c'mon."
"Fuck, alright…"
"So… Remind me again where we were?"
"I… Don't even know anymore."
It was almost like a store, at least to Alex. To the other two, they weren't sure what they were looking at.
There were blue-grey, metallic boxes every few or so feet apart. At least two to four Pokémon were around it, some laughing, some arguing.
"What the freaking hell is this place…?" Glaceon asked.
An Ampharos walked up to them.
"Hello!" He greeted. "Seems like you're newcomers here, so… This is the Blender Suite!"
"The…Blender Suite?" Luxray asked.
"Yep, the Blender Suite! Nothing but Berry Blenders to mix up and create your own little cube-like pieces of candy! The Blenders are free, but you have to supply the berries. We do have some to sell to you if you forgot to bring some, or if you're new around here."
"If you're free, then how do you keep up wi—"
"The berries."
Awkward silence.
"…How long have you been around?"
"This is our third year here."
The three looked around, seeing the enjoyment that everyone around the place were having. They then turned to each other, shrugging at each other.
"Sure, why not?" Insisted Luxray, turning to the Ampharos. "How much are the berries?"
"Cheapest ones are five for one."
Alex pulls out a bill. "Give us forty then."
"Alright… So how the hell do we do this?"
"There's instructions on the blender."
"Oh, okay. Uhm…"
First time using a Berry Blender? This is all you need to know!
First, each Player press on an arrow of their choosing to know how many will be on the Blender.
Each Player places in one berry in the grinder, located in the center (Top is removable and rotatable). Close the Top and get ready as it beeps 3 times. On the third beep, press on your designated, arrow-like Button as the arrow of the Top join together.
Keep pressing the Button at the correct time to grind faster to bring out more flavor until the Meter fills up. At that point, the Berry Blocks are ready to serve and eat!
"…Alright, sounds simple enough."
"Wait, hold on. There's some FAQ's on here—"
"Fuck that, worry about that later. Alright, c'mon!"
All three pressed on their red arrows as their lit up orange. The fourth arrow was left unlit, still showing off its red plastic.
Glaceon placed in a Bluk Berry. Alex placed a Cheri Berry in. Luxray placed in a Chesto Berry and closed the lid; the arrow of the lid was set between Glaceon and Alex. The mechanical box beeped three times in tempo and slowly turned. It rotated to Alex, as he pressed on his arrow button, as it flashed a bright blue.
It continued onto Luxray, pressing his button, flashing blue. It gradually took on speed, skipping the omitted arrow, moving onto Glaceon. He pressed on the button, flashing green.
"What the hell?" Glaceon asked.
"Haha, dumbass," Alex remarked, pressing on his button as it lit up blue.
"Shut up! What do these colors mean?"
"I dunno, man," Luxray responded as he pressed on button. Green. "Fuck."
Skipped omitted arrow, moved to Glaceon. Blue.
"Finally."
Picking up speed, moved to Alex. He missed by a small portion, flashing red. "What the fuck?"
"Ha! That's what you get!"
"Shut up."
Luxray, blue. Omitted. Glaceon, green. Alex, green. Luxray, green. All the while the Top picked up speed.
"Shit, it's going too fast!"
Within ten second, the top rotated faster than ever before.
"What the hell?"
Red, green, green, green, red, blue, red, blue, blue, green, green, red, red, green, green, an omit on every third.
After a while, a sudden beep came around; the meter was full. The top slowly rotated slower to a stop, popping open. Alex reached in the hole, and took several small cubes, all of the same dark indigo color.
"This is all we get in return?" he asked. He took in one of the cubes, giving a curious facial expression over its mostly dry and somewhat-crunchy flavor. "Taste like shit."
"That's because you didn't try well enough." They all turned to the Ampharos that came back.
"What do you mean?" Glaceon asked.
"Having a good blend should mix up the berries well enough to be soft and chewable… somewhat, regardless of berries. Not exactly hard. Sometimes the determinate could be the berries put in, and how many are attempting to mix."
"So how many should be mixing at a time?"
"Can't tell you that; it depends on who mixes. All I can say is that it's recommended that at least 2 mixes…mainly because it doesn't make you lonely."
"Alright… Put in more berries. And go away—we don't need you anymore."
