Wow, that berry search was really cruel to everyone except me...

Also, here's my new item description to go with my shiny new full heal from nature itself:
A berry that heals all status conditions when consumed, much like a Full Heal! A rare and valuable find!

And the description for the never ending supply of dull, canned food as well:
You always have enough of this for the shorter legs of the journey. It's not overly tasty, but it is filling at least.

Indeed, but you got something out of it, so I'm happy none of the less~! Besides, I wanted to train up my Togepi enough so that it can use Metronome at least!

I also want to see what that item was, but I'm not totally focused on it, so do what you will with it!

You might want to consider bringing a little help then.  Strikes still aren't the best way to do damage by a long shot.  Nor is metronome tbh, but at least it would likely consistently do more...

I have my Ekans to help double team it with Raphael, so I should be fine on my own. Still, he left an open invitation for anyone to join him, so if they feel like it...

Need encounters from Larry and Vincent and we'll be ready to roll! (literally)

If you want to assume there won't be a bidding war and post your first move, you can - just bear in mind it might get rescinded if someone starts a bidding war.

Iron, I have sort of a question concerning a Pokemon's Happiness generally.

So, seeing that Cottonee's is currently 1... I wish for Shiva to bond with it some way, not in this Encounter, but somewhere along Route 1, preferably during a berryhunt or something the like at this place. My concern is though, what actions or things will be worth an additional point on this stat according to you? Corebook does not say this explicitly (if it does, sorry for that, I cannot find where...). I mean apart from the usual "How to befriend your Pokemon etc.", given that she already carries it a outside its Pokeball most of the time, provided food and strokes and stuff...

Not quite sure how and what to do about that, any ideas? Spending EXP to increase a 'Mon's Happiness sounds rather weird to me, I actually don't wish to increase it this way...

(...) Just don't overwork my poor RP character, though...

I won't, if that's your worry. Better take care that he doesn't overwork himself on his own *coughandfaintsagaincough*, if he's so adorably eager to repay her the care she has brought up towards him~

Happiness is just awarded whenever the GM says so.

Training without fainting will help, time, berries, personal attention. Grooming. Socializing. Anything that would make a real pet happy. Gifts.

Your guidebook mentions Ranc Berries in particular help with happiness, and they grow on Route 01.
