Chapter - 30 : The Plan
---
Arthur carefully observed the situation and realized that a direct confrontation with the three powerful Glooms, which were all at level 23, would be risky. Considering their higher levels and their numerical advantage, it would be challenging to win a battle against them. He knew he needed a strategic approach to acquire the berries without putting himself and Charcadet, who was currently at level 22, in unnecessary danger.
With his plan in mind, Arthur devised a strategy: Charcadet would execute a surprise attack using Flame Charge on one of the Glooms. By provoking them, Charcadet would lure them away, diverting their attention from Arthur's intended target. Seizing the opportunity, Arthur would stealthily make his way towards the tree where the berries were concealed. With utmost care and precision, he would retrieve the berries without alerting the remaining Glooms. Once he had successfully obtained the precious berries, Arthur would rendezvous with Charcadet near the tranquil stream, where they would reunite and savor their triumphant achievement.
Charcadet followed Arthur's plan perfectly. He attacked one of the Glooms with Flame Charge and then lured them away, running ahead of them. This gave Arthur the opportunity to approach the tree where the berries were hidden. He carefully took out the Silver and Golden Pinap Berries, as well as the precious Golden Razz Berry. Arthur decided not to take the other berries, feeling sorry for the Glooms and their hard work. As a kind gesture, he left two months' worth of Pokémon food inside the tree hole.

With the berries safely in his possession, Arthur hurriedly made his way to the stream. However, upon reaching the stream, he couldn't find Charcadet and a sense of worry washed over him. Just as he was starting to feel anxious, Charcadet appeared a few moments later, relieving Arthur's concern. They both continued their journey from the stream back to their campsite, grateful to have successfully obtained the berries.
Arthur made the decision to visit the mission center the following day to submit the completed task. Content with their success, he settled down for the night, sharing the sleeping bag with Charcadet as they rested peacefully.
The next day, Arthur and Charcadet woke up and enjoyed a meal together. Arthur then resolved to do some training before leaving the mountain and heading to the mission center.
As Arthur was deciding where to start his training, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight nearby. Curious, he decided to investigate and headed in the direction of the commotion.
