INTERACTING WITH: N/A
Alrighty, that should do it for this trip. Barry sprayed the last of his Super Repel on himself and Tribute, the lovable thirty-pound bundle of feathers lying face-up on Barry's backpack, as they approached the twinkling morning daylight that marked the entrance to Dark Cave 1. Deli-deli!! Tribute hopped onto the ground and reached into his tail—an oddity of an appendage that functioned more or less like a sack—and extracted two granola bars, reaching up to hand one to Barry. The duo feasted on their oats while they trekked out of the cavern and onto Route 45.
Barry carefully navigated onto Route 29 and set his sights on the growing town in the distance, the same town that he had once called his home: New Bark. He checked his Pokegear—there were still three hours before the scheduled meeting time. Barry considered tossing a message into the group chat to let his future-travel companions know that he had arrived safely, but thought better of it and instead decided to make a quick circle around town. First stop: the research lab, all the while narrating his childhood experiences to Tribute, who had only known life in Blackthorn. He went on to describe how children in the town were selected by Professor Elm to receive their first Pokemon, some to become Champion, others to fill out the Pokedex, and yet others with the simple goal to go out and catch 'em all. Tribute seemed to listen with a passing interest, which was good enough for Barry; all he cared about was reliving older memories side-by-side with a newer friend.
And this, Barry gestured dramatically, is where we used to set up shop before opening Apotheberry in Blackthorn. Our stuff was mostly the same; you had candy, apricots, medicine, the whole shebang. But you liked to have lost it, seeing as we only picked up maybe one batch of ice poffins a year. Tribute made a face as Barry laughed at the idea of his friend missing out on his favorite snack year after year. His laugh ended with a glance up at the replacement of his family's old store, now owned by Johto Antiques. Barry considered for a moment taking a look inside to see what they had done with the place, but after a few seconds of hesitation shook his head and chose to leave that particular memory in the past. He walked with Tribute and showed him some of his favorite stores, shops, and homes before stopping in front of the subtle neon "We're Open!" sign of Maw's Diner. Perfect, breakfast time.
I'll show you more later. For now, return. Barry held his Great Ball forward and pushed the button on the front, recalling Tribute into the unfathomably complex device by what appeared to be a wide bolt of red lightning. Barry entered the diner and ordered his usual: a side of hash browns, grits, and sausage with a cup of black coffee. He had to keep his energy up if he wanted to hit the road again in the next couple of hours. Once he had finished his breakfast—along with no fewer than three catch-up conversations with townsfolk he recognized—he paid his tab, mounted his backpack, and set off toward the entrance of New Bark. Alright Tribute, you can come out now. Barry tossed the ball in front of him and, in a white flash, once again stood his red and white-feathered friend. It probably would have been a faster trip had Barry left him in his pokeball until he got to the meetup, but Tribute needed to get used to the warmer air anyway. Besides, he couldn't wait to introduce him to all the friends he had known in New Bark—and hopefully enough to justify their little tirade around the town.
As the two strolled toward the entrance to the town in search of his friends, Barry caught the glint of Dante's hair against the morning sun in the distance. Hey there! He shouted with a grin. You're early!

We could test that.
Let's. It might help.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Kind of? But not well.
What if you channel what you can?
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
I mean, yeah. Its some kind of power.... I don't know what it is, though.
Can you channel it somehow?
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
I could try, I suppose.
*trys to concentrate the energy into my hands, but it ends up just dissipating*
Hmm... its not working.
Do you feel anything at all?
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Not horribly different. Just felt more concentrated.
Can you try that kind of concentration before starting?
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
I just got angry and punched the bag, man.
Did it feel any different?

Name: Bartholomew Mulkaper
Nicknames: Barry
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Appearance: Barry has a lanky 6'1" build, cloaked in his local winter robes from Blackthorn. Despite his height, his smooth complexion sometimes results in him being mistaken for younger than he really is. In all weather conditions, Barry is always seen wearing his trusty sandals.
Personality: Barry is a relaxed and steady-as-a-Golem countrysider, raised in a large family of agriculturalists. He has a fixed loyalty to those around him—cultivated by his family during his upbringing—but has never had to face the world without their guidance and support.
Short Biography: Barry spent his childhood in New Bark, aiding his parents in their apricot and berry pharmacy in his free time. At the age of twelve, his family moved to Blackthorn to cultivate Ice Berries and open up a new store, Apotheberry. With the help of their team of Shuckle, the family sold medicine to the locals and shipped their products across Johto. However, last winter a terrible blizzard swept away their year's crop—along with half of their Shuckle—and while the Ice Berry seeds they had planted could sustain frigid temperatures indefinitely, their next harvest wouldn't be for another nine months. Barry had long-since heard the rumors of a mysterious blue Shuckle that could produce higher quality medicine than any of its counterparts, and realized that he would have to find and catch it if he wanted to save his family from debt. Armed with one of the family Shuckle and his trusty partner Pokemon, the winter guardian Delibird, he set out to New Bark to meet up with old friends about to embark on an adventure of their own.
Pokemon:
Reason for Traveling with Main Group: Barry wants to travel with a team exploring the region to search for the rumored blue Shuckle. To Barry, who better to travel with than childhood friends?
Relationships: Parents, extended family

...fine.
*angrily punches the bag, and a sudden, extremely destructive wave of energy is pushed out, sending the bag flying off its chain, and embeds into the wall*
Do you have any idea what that was?
