I am always tired. Don't bother me.
Acklow’s Berry Pies
Welcome to Acklow’s Berry Pies! We grow different types of healing berries here. Whether you are looking to buy an Oran berry or a batch of Sitrus Berries, we will have the right berry for you. Not only that, but if you wish to stop by the shop itself, you can get yourself an Oran Pie or a Leppa Cake to eat.

I prefer people with a creative writing style. Since this is a shop, you'll need to be able to deal with each buyer individually and you'll need to be able to work sometimes with little material. So being able to develop various scenarios for each trainer is a plus. Expect me to reply in 2-3 days (unless I'm online and I am available for a chat on irc). No pressure!! =)-ASB Team
-Referee Profile (if applicable)
-A match in which you battled (preferably one of your favorites)
-Your favorite match (one that you were NOT in)
-An explanation of why you think you'd be an asset to Acklow's Berry Pies
The Process
In order to begin the picking process, you must bring at least ONE of your own Pokemon along to pick the berries.
This Pokemon will help you in various scenarios you may come across.
Please follow this set-up if you wish to begin the picking process:
Trainer Name:
Pokemon:
Berries to be picked:
Your Current Trainer Counters:
The tools you already have vs. the tools you currently lack (check the tools section):
Role-Playing Entry (describe how you got to the shop, why, etc.):
-Scissors (i.e. "Cut")
-Basket (i.e. "Stockpile")
-Walking Stick (i.e. "Headbutt")
-Watering Can (i.e. "Water Gun"/"Soak")
-Small Shovel (i.e. "Dig")
More tools may be added later...
Upon arriving to the orchard, you will begin the berry picking/growing process. Obviously, you must plant the berry seed first. Over the course of a few days, you will be put through various scenarios that may or may not affect the outcome of your berry picking experience. It is up to you to make sure that your plant is properly tended and cared for if you wish for the best outcome. Try to remain active during this time period until your berries are fully grown and you will be rewarded.
For simplification reasons, here is a very simplified layout of how things happen around here:
Trainer: Entry Post: A Trainer says what kind of Berry they want to plant.
Staff: Staff sends a trainer to a planting area and gives then tools. The Staff Member marks down who is in which area and how many people (There will be maximums for each area, and trainers who want to go into a full area will be placed in a queue.)
Trainer: Planting Post: A Trainer Role-Plays out planting and watering their berries, as well as looking around the area.
Staff: The Staff gives them a scenario for what is going on in their planting plot, points out any items that might be on the ground or odd noises if the trainer wants to investigate.
Trainer: Trainer either keeps planting or explores the item/scenario etc.
Staff: Staff gives outcome, either the trainer picking an item or something raiding their plants while they weren't looking etc. Says they can pick their harvest on the next post or continue planting for another day.
Trainer: Planting Post or Picking Post: Trainer either continues planting and watering, increasing their Berry Yield, or Picks their harvest.
Staff: If the crops are Harvested they are given to the trainer and they can post the link in the OP. If not, another scenario round commences.
