Hunger Pangs

Scottie headed into the woods to gather mushrooms with some friends.

Along the way, they ran into an unexpected sync pair.

Huh? Look, it's Red!

Red, the legendary Trainer, is hunting for mushrooms?

He looks a bit worried, though... Maybe we should go talk to him!

Um... Hullo! Need any help?

... ... ...!

Hmm... That Snorlax over there is yours, isn't it? It looks like it might be hungry.

... ... ...

I knew it!

That's impressive, Mallow! Leave it to a chef to know when someone needs a meal!

... ... ...

Have you ran out of snacks to give your Snorlax?

That makes sense! Snorlax are famous for being big eaters!

Yeah! I read in my Pokédex that it's not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food a day!

I see... So that's why you're here looking for mushrooms!

... ... ...

But...I'm guessing you aren't finding enough mushrooms to feed Snorlax?

I've heard there's a forest in Kanto where you can find tons of Berries...

But finding Berries is a little different from mushroom hunting... Maybe that's what you're having trouble with?

I've got an idea! Why don't we give them some of the mushrooms we've picked?

Good idea! We picked a whole bunch, and it's important to share the bounty that nature provides us!

Yeah! Plus, being hungry is no fun at all. I know what that can be like...

Snorlax doesn't even look close to being full yet.

And we ended up feeding it our entire stash...

No problem! We'll just have to go searching for more mushrooms, then!

Yeah! And I bet if we asked some sync pairs with mushroom-like Pokémon...

They'd know some spots where we could find a whole bunch of them? Great thinking!

My guess is we might get challenged to some battles along the way, so we should be prepared for that.

... ... ...!

No need to thank us, Red! How could we let a Pokémon go hungry?

Let's feed Snorlax till he's so stuffed, he can't eat another bite!

Yay! We did it! I think we've finally sated Snorlax's appetite!

... ... ...!

Red looks relieved, too.

I can't believe we helped the legendary Trainer Red! And here in the woods, of all places!

OK! Now that we're done with that, it's time for us to fill our bellies, too!

We have some mushrooms left over. Um... Red, would you like to join us for dinner?

I'll whip up a bunch of dishes that'll make these ingredients shine!

... ... ...!

Oh, come on! Stop being so selfish!

I haven't got any more Berries for you to eat, so stop nagging, OK? Plus, didn't you just eat a whole bunch of 'em earlier?

Oh, it's Marnie! But look at Morpeko...

That's strange... There's usually loads of Berries around here.

Did she just say Berries?

... ... ...

Yeah. She's talking about the Berries we just fed to Snorlax, isn't she?

I knew it...

OK, already. I'll look around a bit more, so calm down.

Sometimes it's hard to share nature's bounty, huh.

Well, only one thing for us to do! Let's help Marnie find some Berries for Morpeko!
