[Lord Windos]

3XP to Michael, Apsis, and Ventus as the healer accepts the mushroom. "Ah, Purple Coral Fungus. How useful! I shall take what you say to heart. In return, I have a tip for you about the Fireweed Forest - no idea if it will be useful or not. But if you search for a weed called "athelas", a low shrubby forb with delicate white flowers, you may be able to find the minerals nearby that form a King's Rock under immense pressure, and maybe find the Rock itself! I just think it's neat how herb lore can lead to mineral lore!"

Ventus smiled in delight as Maize took his advice to heart, happy that he could assist in her growth as a trainer and for the morsel of information she gave him. "You would be surprised how often different Disciplines overlap with one another. Herb lore is often used to help create medicine for humans, but it it also has many applications in Pokémon battles and culinary fields as well! Knowledge is the key to everything...if you have it, you will always find what is important to you. Thank you again for the great battle, and I hope you make strides as a Pokémon trainer!" he said, before walking over to check on his family members.

What he say both perplexed and amused him at the same time. Michael, utterly unfazed by the battle besides thorough cover in dirt (Which he seem to enjoy, come to think of it) preening as Apsis nuzzled the shroom affectionately. The regal snake HATED Ground type moves, not only because that sting awfully badly, but they ruined her magnificent looks! When he bravely took that last Mud Shoot without even flitching for her...well, that deserves some rare thanks indeed! Michael himself enjoyed the praise, but he was also proud to help his sister take down that nasty Bug AND walk away with nary a scratch! He going to become a mighty Breloom someday, sooner rather than later!

Once his family members finished their moment, he returned the both of them, before heading back to the Challenge Board. While his last battle left him in a better move, he still needed to train his Pokémon for the upcomming Gym battle. That, and it was a nice way to earn some extra money!

Order: Find another trainer battle for $300 Pokedollars for Ariel and Lucifer this time. Time for them to refine their skills! f
