Look at all those berries. Just the sight of them all made Plusle and Minun's mouths water. The duo haven't eaten anything since this morning, so they are in need for something in their little stomachs. But with a variety selection of berries to choose from, they don't know which one to pick. And their empty tummies continuously grumbling is not making it much easy. Plusle taps Minun and spots a nice looking sitrus berry. It does look promising, but frankly, any berry would do at this point. As long as it means food for his stomach. The moment Minun nods his head, Plusle uses spark to zap the sitrus berry off the branch. He continues using zap until three sitrus berries are on the ground. Of course, they haven't forgot about their long haired trainer, who is currently talking to somebody on the phone.

"Just be sure I see your butt at Professor Birch's research lab by the time I arrive in Littleroot Town, Cameron." Namaiki says on the line. After the young girl hangs up, she sees Plusle and Minun rolling three sitrus berries at her direction. Namaiki wonders how they can roll three berries all at once.

"Are those for me, or just one?" Namaiki asks. Plusle hands one of the sitrus berries to Namaiki. "Thanks, you guys. That's really sweet."

The duo stand tall and gave their trainer the salute sign, which earns them a giggle from Namaiki. She takes out a handkerchief and uses it to wipe off any residue on the berry. As rambunctious and a handful Plusle and Minun can be at times, Namaiki is really grateful for to have such loyal partners by her side. The three of them have been to so much together, traveling from region to region, meeting all types of new Pokemon, and making precious memories. No matter what happens or what will happen, they will always be a team. And they are on the road on a new journey with new memories to make. There's no telling what kind of events and exciting moments await for the trio.

"Mmmm," Namaiki voices out while eating the sitrus berry. "So sweet, so delicious. Route 110 definitely grow the best berries." Plusle and Minun agree with the pink headed trainer; the latter pops the final piece of berry in his mouth. "You must be really hungry, Minun. Was the berry good?"

The blue Pokemon nods his little head.

"How about we pick some berries out and take them to Littleroot Town with us?" Minun runs to the back of the berry tree. Taking what Namaiki told him, the electric type tries to actually push the tree. He wants to give Namaiki some berries, but it seems as if the tree isn't moving not even an inch. Maybe Minun isn't pushing hard enough. He spits in his paws, rubs them together, and tries pushing the tree again. Minun pushes with all his little might, you can see the veins in his muscles pop out of his skin. The only process Minun has made so far is that he's sweating more than the previous attempt.

Namaiki and Plusle chuckle at Minun. Does Minun really think a small Pokemon his size could push a tall tree?

"Perhaps you should help Minun out, Plusle?" Namaiki suggests.

Plusle runs to the back of the tree. He places a paw on his Minun's shoulder, signaling the latter to stop from straining himself even further. He takes him in front of the tree and tells him to watch. Then, Plusle uses static like before, but this time, more than two dozen berries end up landing on the grass, from sitrus berries, oran berries, nanab berries, razz berries, and bluk berries. Zipping the berries makes things a whole lot easier than trying to push a tree that probably weights more than a wild Ursaring. Plusle doesn't understand why Minun didn't think of using his static. They are both electric types after all.
