Plotting Meme: October

[these_balls]

PLOT DISCUSSION

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!

MOD PLOTS:
→ A special swarm will begin on the 23rd of October and last until the 28th. More information will be given out soon!
→ The mods are holding a tournament in November. The timeline is currently unknown (it depends on how many participants we have) but we anticipate it going for a good chunk of November!

I don't know how they'd get talking about it, but Apollo's becoming pretty knowledgeable about the plants here that're edible and medicinal for humans and Pokémon. Plus, once spring comes, he'll be trying to cultivate some Berry plants in a more convenient (for him) location, including the Sitrus Berry he won from the Bug-Catching Contest. If he can get a reasonable production out of them he could be persuaded to give the nerd duo a couple Sitrus Berries for testing, but the mods said that they'll be smaller than normal because it's not the right climate, so it wouldn't be a perfect match. A different hands-on view about the plants and their growing conditions might be useful though, even if Albert's science stuff would go way over his head.

That'd be great! Albert's managed to collect a fair number of the berries himself, though I forget which ones in particular, but naturally more samples are never a bad thing.

My only concern would be, like you said, how we'd get Albert and Apollo talking about it, considering Albert's general temperament and his current track record with making people angry about how he behaves toward his Pokemon. So that's something we'd have to find a way to work out! But I'm definitely open to brainstorming to see if we can come up wtih something.

Well unless he knows anyone else who won 3rd place and didn't use the Sitrus Berry right away, Apollo's the only game in town for that one, since I remember reading that they don't grow in Johto or Kanto. Now he just needs to get a Lum Berry from somewhere and he'll be growing the whole set.

Yeeeeaaaah, Albert's kinda prickly, to say the least. Apollo will prolly make a post at some point asking if anyone else knows how to grow them and why they're not turning out like the original, so maybe Albert can pounce on that and try not to be a dick long enough for Apollo to ship some samples to him? idk

He does, actually! Hiccup won 3rd place once and is attempting his own growing experiments, so it might be that Albert's had the opportunity to be clued in to that one. But like I said, more samples are never a bad thing. o/

TO SAY THE LEAST, sob. And I can definitely have Albert keep an eye out for the post, though I can make no promises about his relative level of dickery when it comes to discussing them. Either way, I'll do my best to get something in progress!
