Foraging for herbs was a simultaneously fun and bittersweat for the researcher. It brought back good memories of his mother Delilah taking him to her flower shop and teaching him what each and everyone of them, but at the same time it brought back memories of Morgan. 'For every good thing, there must be a darker side to balance it out to give it meaning. I may still mourn the fate of my mother, but I will always cherish the moments I shared with her. May her memory rest in peace within me,' Ventus solemnly though, his slight sadness hidden behind his affable façade while chatting with Shiva about the medicinal properties of herbs. He believe after this enlighten experience, he remember just a little of the folk medicine his mom used on him (Raising Medicine Specialty by 1!)

Once everyone stopped for a short rest in the woods, he let out his all his Pokémon to limber up, and notices Apsis slither off to Sage's Poliwhirl's side. He was at first wary of her wanting a bigger Polisnack, but when it turns out the two where actually enjoying each other presence, Ventus smiled joyously at the sight. "I'm glad that Apsis, such a regal, dominating Pokémon, is capable of making friend with others without me moderating her! Perhaps she feels some sort of kinship with the fellow giant Well, I'll leave her to socialize with Poliwhirl, while I explore my surrounding for anything interesting," Ventus said to himself, before announcing to the group that he was going of to roam the wood for a bit.

Eventually, he found something of note- or rather, something of note found him. A Spearow swoop down right over him, flying by extremely close to head, before pulling out and letting out a challenging *Caaaaaw!* Bolled over by the wind currents generated by the bird, Ventus land flat on him bum, jostling his sleeves and causing Ariel's Pokeball to shoot right out, smacking into the ground with a *Twaack!*. Summoned to the battle field, she took one look at her fallen master, then at the Sparrow, before giving it a glare. Only she was allow to harass her master, no one else!

Meanwhile, Lucifer, startled by the bird as well, bolted out of Ven's sweater, flapping mid air while and looking down worriedly at his master. The researcher noticed his worry right away, and waved him over to consul him. "There there, my devil, I am alright. Spearow just caused me minor scuffing and embarrassment, so there is no need to be concerned for my wellbeing. Since Ariel was accidently brought out in the battle field, and seems eager to take on the Spearow, why don't try to see if you can't hunt for anything valuable? I promise an apple if you find something interesting, Lucifer!" Ventus said, doing his best to make his pratfall useful.

The fruit bat's eyes lite up at the promise of yet another deliciously sinful treats, so it gave a screech of affirmation, before shooting off into the forest, eager to find some loot!

Order: Fighting that Spearow with Ariel to see what's so special about it, and have Lucifer try to find something useful in exchange for an apple. Let's hope I roll sixes instead of snake eyes!
