Berries are useless filler in your bag. Its best to be rid of the things! Besides, Raptor jesus can feed a thousand with 5 berries, what are you worried about?

[zchris13]

Finding five goddamn berries.

[Phantom]

Maybe he does photosynthesis.
Or because he's RaptorJesus he steals obtains food from Allahsaurus.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Maybe he just gets people drunk enough with the water-to-wine thing, then tells them that they ate.

[Luckk]

Ahh Raptor Jesus, never failing in getting us to work for nothing.  How the heck are you supposed to pay your rent or even put food on the table with that kind thinking?  How do you recruit other pokemon into your team anyways?  If what I'm thinking is correct, you have a small chance after defeating a pokemon in battle that it will ask to join.

yes, you also have to have their friend area, However, some legendary's will give you thir friend area if you don't have it already.

[tehstefan]

The real problem is figuring out which legendaries those are, and which you need the area for.

[Dragooble]

yeah, also you can't get the friend area for those legendary's any other way.

[Dragooble]

An update to confirm i haven't abandoned this.

Spoiler:  Episode 9.5 (click to show/hide)

Why? It's not like you'll allow people to pay us.


A client who won't pay us perhaps?

I think the general clairvoyance of this place is rubbing of on me.



Son of a bitch...

No, we saw team Shiftry get your job forced upon them by Morality Man and the Fearsome Philanthropists.

Abandoned the job because you wouldn't pay him?

Oh well. Until you pay me it's none of my concern.

And I'm supposed to care why?

What's strange is why you don't care about how we're gonna support this operation if we don't get paid?

You didn't pay him. Oh well, too bad so sad and all that.

No, he just hasn't gotten paid.

What's weird is why rescue teams don't get paid anymore.

What look, what don't I need to be asked?

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

We need to find a better negotiator. One that actually knows what money is.

[Glacial Eidolon]

The notion of not getting paid is a tricky aspect for the Rescue Team Organization to handle. It appears that it operates on a "Pay now or never" system - that is, the rescuer either gets paid immediately or is simply never paid in the first place. Oddly, it appears that many times that the client is not paid the mission is not sanctioned by the Rescue Team Organization in the first place, displaying shoddy management and lack of watchful eyes.

The whole predicament could be simply solved by a payment at a later date or "working it off," but it appears that the powerful and influential Rescue Team Organization is hellbent on their demise.

This is exaggerated by the fact that we, as a rescue team, are not even getting paid federally by the Rescue Team Administration (if such a thing exists). We are receiving no compensation, financial aid, or even Rescue Points to aid us in our mission. Friend Areas - real estate to be bought up at our leisure - are unlocked over time, but due to the general incompetence of the employees it is becoming quite a chore to find any that we have not already purchased. This lack of forward planning has cost many Rescue Teams many potential members simply because they don't have a place to stay - and let's not include the many times where budding Rescue Teams simply starved out in the cold woods due to a lack of shelter.

This would be at least bearable if the problem was not compounded by the lack of appreciable quarters to lodge in. Many a rescue team has been miserable and (dare I say it) exposed to pestilence due to the fact that they have to rely on tetanus-filled shacks to suit their housing needs. As a supplier of protectors, if the Rescue Team Administration (possibly hypothetical) does not even supply their members with necessities such as food, water, and housing (instead to opt for an insipid plan of provisioning them with recall badges and newspapers for sustenance) then they are not doing their job. How are we to march on empty stomachs? As an organization bent on the prolonged continuation of Pokémon-kind they certainly are not doing their utmost to safeguard the future guardians of the realm from dying left and right.

This incompetence as a league is appalling. Supposedly a savior of the world, the Rescue Team Organization has shown very little communication with their members. Aside from not knowing whether the hub of the federation is even existent or not, there remains very little competence with handling or care. Indeed, in both senses of the word: one would wonder whether the higher-ups even care about the survival of their very home country.

The name Rescue is thrown around here a lot - generally speaking, many missions under their grasp show signs of being exploited to their advantage. Such drivel as "I need a Chesto Berry to complete my collection!" and "Can you escort me through a dangerous floor? I just want to travel!" are some of the rescue titles that have cropped up in the past few months. This is dreadful: instead of meaningful rescue, some clients are taking advantage of the horrible micromanagement of the Rescue Team Organization and use that to their own advantages. This further compounds the problem: many clients who are truly under tough times are now meeting their demise simply because another separate client wanted a new rock to place as a trophy in their room.

All this could be evened out in time - but the fact remains that there is so little Rescue Teams. Only one center of business presents itself - a small, run-down town in the middle of the woods with no agricultural or industrial businesses - and even there, jobs are much too plentiful. Though there may be other reserves, the Rescue Team Organization is so incompetent in their designs that they do not even provide a means of transportations to other towns in society to move towards. As such, contact has been cut off nearly everywhere due to this lack of cooperation. The lack of trade routes, too, has decimated the population of this small town: a sustainable population of about 20 Pokémon is the maximum, depending on species.

This is an absolutely deplorable situation we find ourselves in. It is my firm belief that it is not outside forces that are contributing to civilization's downfall: it is our own. Clearly the natural disasters we have been having are a way of our god's anger at our shameful strategies.

We must act and restore order to our society, discarding the oft-wondrous "Rescue Team Organization" that our predecessors have used. To succeed, we must establish a central government and use excessive force - if completely necessary - to prevent discord. When things have become stately once more, we shall look at other pressing issues.

One thing is certain: the path we lead currently is to doom.

-text wall-

Bravo. I, too, support taking matters into our own hands. May this be spread to all!

[tehstefan]

That is quite the disertation on the state of the world, and indeed might be useful if not for the simple fact that a central government would be simply impossible to set up. As well, the matter of sustenance has never come up in our life, and I assume that as such, it is a matter easily cared for, especially with the money most rescue teams make, doing aforementioned odd jobs, as well as rescues. As well, there are plentiful teams, and it is no problem for another team to take up the rescue at a later date. They never do seem to be in immediate danger.

Edit: That, and this is a Pokemon game. Their more concerned with helping others than on the overall success or demise of pokemonkind as a whole due to economic mismanagement.

If you really want to be paid, you can stall the story and do other missions.
