Hello
I've only replied to a handful of people on the forums before, so most of you will likely not know my color. My name is Gladion. I came from an island nation called Alola, in a world inhabited by creatures completely unlike anything I've ever encountered here. They're known as Pokemon, and some of you may have seen them around during the attacks last month. I have a team of six with me, though they're just a small, small fraction of the number that exists in my world.

That said... I don't often reach out like this, but I need some assistance. During those battles I depleted most of my supplies from home used to care for my team. I have two potions left, though I've been holding off using them in hopes that there might be someone here who can possibly replicate or even replace what helps to heal them quickest. For now they've simply been recovering on their own, which is possible but slow and difficult to tend to by myself.

I also met someone last month who had a book from my world, a basic guide on Pokemon and how to care for them. I offered to help with whatever information was missing from it as it seemed like the pages would vanish at random while reading. Being the only person from my world here I understand the curiosity that might arise from having such unique creatures so if anyone wishes to meet my team, be it for the sake of interest or to aid with finding ways to help them, I'm willing to open up my home to you for the time being.

[He is still just about the least social person in Chroma, but if it's for the sake of his Pokemon he's willing to try and muster up some energy to deal with people he doesn't know well.]

In any case, thank you for your time.
-Gladion

[Potions, huh? Interesting.]

Are you familiar at all with the composition of these potions? That is to say, do you know anything about what they're actually comprised of?

[costaliris]

It's been a while since I looked at the composition, but I do recall that the base ingredients were herbs and plants found in my world. Unfortunately I made it here without any. The only things in my pack at the time were a number of regular potions, about five high-potions and a couple of revives.

I do know it's possible to create healing items with just the basic herbs, but most Pokemon find them bitter and difficult to ingest so potions are often preferable for most trainers.

[unfatalist]

I see. It's a pity you don't happen to have any of the herbs and plants on you; we've largely worked out a system of quickly growing plants for consumption, but obviously we can hardly grow something we don't have.

You may need to look into alternatives and substitutes, rather than seeking to recreate the ones you have.

[costaliris]

I was afraid of that. I didn't consider it when fighting, which was foolish on my part.

If I can find an alternative of some sort, though, I'll gladly do whatever is needed to help create and continue to supply it. If nothing else it can hold us over until we're given another chance to earn an item from home.

[unfatalist]

If you'd be willing to entertain a few follow-up questions — what variety of animals are they?

...I realize that they're Pokemon, but can you describe some of their attributes? For example, something with a beak and wings that's capable of flight, or something with fins and a tail that lives primarily in an aquatic environment...?

I'm afraid I can't make any potions or anything like that, but I do have healing magic. Should you and your creatures need it, it shall always be available.

[costaliris]

[Healing magic?

Hmn. There are Pokemon who have healing abilities as well, though 'magic' wasn't used to describe those. Still, that could be helpful.]

If you think your magic will work on my team, I would be grateful for the help.

[troubadamsel]

It works on animals in my realm, I've yet to find evidence why it wouldn't do the same here.

My name is Maribelle, I live in Flavo.

[costaliris]

Good to know.

[Hello fellow yellow.]

I'm in Flavo as well.

[troubadamsel]

Excellent. Should you need my services, my house is the only one with a stable.

i don't know if it will work on your pokemon friends but i do have healing spells? they used to work on my Dream Eaters back where i'm from. i wish i had some potions i could give you but if you want to try out the healing spells, i'd be more than happy to try!

[costaliris]

I'm not surprised that supplies were drained during those attacks. That said I've had an offer from another person for healing spells as it is. I don't want to take up anyone's time unnecessarily but if she's unavailable for whatever reason I can call on you.

What are Dream Eaters, if you don't mind me asking.

[oathkeeper]

oh that's great news then! i hope it works out! if there's anything else i could help with, don't be afraid to ask!

Dream Eaters are creatures too! we team up and work together in battle! all of them are different from each other with different skills and abilities but they're all really cute and useful. i didn't wake up here with any of them though. you're so lucky.

[costaliris]

Of course.

Not all that different from Pokemon then. I'm sorry you don't have any of your partners with you here. I'm not sure I would be able to handle arriving here entirely alone.

[oathkeeper]

they do sounds pretty similar, yeah! and that's okay. i'll see them again someday or maybe they'll even show up here.

i'd love to see your pokemon sometime!

[photoshooter]

haha wow i got kinda confused for a second there. your name's really close to one of my friends' names! his name is gladiolus but we call him gladio. but i'm prompto, it's nice to meet you gladion! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

did the wolves attack your creature friends? are they okay??

[costaliris]

It's not a common name. I can understand the confusion.

[Gladion has no idea what emoticons are so the thing at the end gets a momentary stare, but he doesn't bring it up.]

They did, but the infection didn't seem capable of spreading to them. They're recovering, but it's slow without potions and herbs.

[photoshooter]

what kind of herbs? do you think we could find any in the forest?

[costaliris]

perhaps not exact matches [Berries, for one thing, were very different here.] but we may be able to find something close enough? I have yet to venture in to the forest myself.

[photoshooter]

i've done a little hunting but usually with people stronger than me. ( ´△｀) if you let me know what kinds of things to look for though i can take my friends with me? you should stay with your buddies while they're still recooping from the fight. ●︿●

Unfortunately I don't have the means to create the same potions you are accustomed to, but I can perhaps come up with something through herbs. The book I read didn't make any mention of remedies.

[costaliris]

It's possible it was in the areas that weren't visible. There should have been a short chapter about the use of potions and other medicinal items as well as a section about PokeCenters where nurses tend to injured Pokemon with the use of machines.

I may have to rewrite that section for you if it's not available.

Herbs are another possible remedy, though. I would appreciate the help.

[withwisdom]

Whenever you have the time I would like to hear about it. Perhaps these potions can be made here and then used not just on Pokemon.

[ if it's a healing remedy of some sort, surely it can have some benefits to people? ]

I'll do my best. The issue is only the colored plants seem to be viable. I attempted with the colorless ones but they were disgusting, to put it light.

[costaliris]

It's entirely possible.

I have yet to try any of the colorless food. It sounds like it will be a terrible experience if I do.

[withwisdom]

I tried it once. Scientific curiosity. I'm only impressed that I didn't immediately spit it out. You're better off for not doing as I did.

[ just, urgh. ]

If I make any progress I'll let you know. Are your pokemon doing alright, or was this just a preemptive measure you're taking?
