Aether gave a tiny, thoughtful hum. "Going off of his appearance, he must have been abandoned not too long ago... a few days, at most. Maybe the Grass-scent just... faded? I mean, he could have been born in a human home. So maybe the human smell just... kinda replaced or overpowered his Attribute's?"
She broke off, shaking her head firmly. "Oh, why are we just standing here? He's obviously injured!" She blinked kindly at the Leafeon, smiling as her Caring Nature instinctively kicked in. "I'll go get you some Oran berries, okay?" then added, "I'll be right back," to Van. She turned and dashed towards the nearest Berry bush, a few meters off to the side. Its fragile twigs and sturdier branches were heavy and laden with the healing blue fruit.
The blue-and-cream Shiny practically dove headfirst into the bush's midst, where she knew the best Berries of the bundle would lay, untouched by a wandering Pokemon's hunger. Most tended to avoid squirming their way through the uncomfortable obstacles that blocked any food growing on these trees and bushes just for a meal, so they were usually left unscathed, the farther in the fruit, while those growing a long the outer sprouts of the foliage were made into a quick meal.
She grunted a little, as her fur snagged and stuck now and again, forcing her to stop, or otherwise risk tearing clumps of fur from her body. The little ribbon-ends on her chest reached forward to grab and part the branches ahead of her, while her ears splayed flat against her head to avoid being cut or snagged at. She wiggled her hips through a particularly tight squeeze, between a V-shape made by two interlocked branches, and gave a tiny tip of triumph when she reached her prize.
Aether gingerly nipped a pair of the large, supple Berries from their stem, and caught the jointed section in between them in her jaws, careful not to break their fragile skins, and waste any of the fruits' precious, healing juices. She emerged a few minutes later, after a small episode of shuffling, the sounds of snapping twigs, And a few mattered curses. A leaf or piece of bark stuck to her fur here and there, but she was otherwise unscathed. In her jaws, the two Oran berries, nearly twice the size of her paws, hung.
She bounded gracefully over, and gently laid them down by the Leafeon's head, on a clean patch of grass. "Here," she murmured, backing up a few paces to resume standing at Van's side.
