Brent had barely slept a wink last night. Storms in the orchard were always bad as was but the wind didn't howl like it does in the city. Unlike trees buildings don't sway and he was almost certain he had heard a crash. The storm had been too bad to check it out though. He had looked outside to his greenhouse the roof was intact but he was pretty sure a table or two was tipped meaning glass was broken somewhere.
"Amelia, you and the pups watch the front for now," Brent said sighing. He'd need Trent, Don, and John to help clean up. He wrote a note setting it at the cash register for people to press the button for assistance.
He stepped outside droplets of rain running down the sides of the greenhouse. It was still raining today as well though not nearly as hard. He paused taking in the scene before the three of them. Sure enough two tables were completely tipped over. Dozens of plants needing to be replanted and not to mention the fact the place was flooded in some areas due to run off. The cause? A runaway dumpster had hit the glass probably more than once to bust through.
"Right,"Brent grunted rubbing the side of his face. Stubble scratching his hand from two days of not shaving. "Trent would you mind sitting up the tables and making sure we don't have to replace them. Don, John could you two get started on gathering up the plants. I'll sweep up the glass and dirt and get rid of the dumpster."
It all looked like so much Brent had to despair some over it. He couldn't justify wallowing though and had to be grateful for his pokemon. Without them, he probably would. WORDS: 298 TAGGED: @characters NOTES: Pokeballs Hover to show pokemon and moves - Garden Terrain

Brent started by pushing the trash can outside ducking through the jagged hole to nestle it where there was little to no wind right next to his own trash can. He'd return it later when he wasn't going to get soaked. Brent dashed back inside the rain pretty much already soaking him. He rung out his shirt just a bit before taking it off to work. He was having a hard time focusing as was he didn't need something heavy, wet and clingy to bug him.
He pulled the broom out of the shed and got to work. The trevenant, already done with his portion of setting back up the tables and moving them just out of the way for now. Rather he had begun helping Don and john with their portion of work. Picking up all those plants was hard work. They set some back up on the tables but for the most part, they had to place them on the other side of the greenhouse. Out of the way so they could clear the area and fix everything back up.
John was the first to stumble upon the wild pokemon. Nearly grabbing it as one of the plants the little colorful pokemon scurried away into the corner cowering. John let out a questioning noise looking to his brother who had ahold of a pot and could see through the plant. Don grunted in response trying to get them both to go over and set the plant down so he could see.
Getting rid of the dirt was the hardest part of sweeping up. It was getting in the dips and cracks between the pavement tiles. He only stopped after looking up a brief moment to see the doduo slacking. Ready to reprimand the two he paused as he followed the one's line of sight. Even Brent mistaking the pokemon for a flower for a moment. That moment didn't last long though as it was sorely out of place.
"Leave it be guys," Brent said not wanting to deal with what wild pokemon may have wandered in as well just yet. Most likely it wasn't the only one who wandered in to take shelter from the storm. He returned to sweeping which was like a signal to John who picked up a plant and got back to work.
Brent, of course, wasn't about to let it out of his sight but the next time he looked up it was gone from its place. Either hidden somewhere else in his garden or have left. He wasn't sure which but since the rain had lightened it wouldn't surprise him if it did. The light tapping of the rain on the glass reminded him faintly of home. The times he'd go out into the barn while it was raining to play with the pokemon only to be lulled to sleep by the sound of rain on tin. He'd curl up with the pokemon and sleep out there well until dinner time when one of his brothers would come calling.
Shoot, he had to work not fall asleep. This place wasn't going to clean and fix up itself though he wished it would. Shaking his head to break himself of the sound of the rain he got back to work. His reverie not going unnoticed by Trent who knew what he was thinking. He had to agree too. Today was the perfect day to sleep. WORDS: 572 NOTES: Garden Terrain - No Catch Attempt

It was Trent's turn to stumble upon a pokemon this time. Or rather two; the green egg-shaped flower was nestled in half a dozen glaring eggs. Trent wouldn't be bothered so much but they were nesting right in the middle of the plants along the back wall. And by nesting, he means sitting right in them bending several stalks.
He cast a glance back at Brent who was busy trying to keep his cool even as he swept up potshards with the dirt. He would handle it himself this time he supposed. The gentle trevenant making shooing movements only to watch them spark in response. Thankfully the sparks did scare the poor budew who had felt safe with them until then. Not wanting to fight she made a break for it. Her sudden movement sending one of the eggs rolling and soon they all were. The eggs now angrily leaving the area following after the budew.
It could have been worse so Trent let out a sigh of relief that they had left without a fight. He hummed in thought of what they could do about the hole. They needed to prevent more pokemon from entering this place and damaging the plants. Tarp would be the best way but he was pretty sure Brent hadn't bought any since the place was covered in glass.
Brent looked up to see Trent looking at the hole. Brent had to grunt at the sight. An expensive sight to behold; he may have insurance but still, it was going to hurt. He didn't want to dwell on it.
"Trent you mind getting towls and soaking up the stand places of water. I don't want the plants to be overwatered," Brent said almost done sweeping up. The tree obliging with a nod as he headed inside.. WORDS: 301 NOTES: Garden Terrain - No Catch Attempt

It was Brent's turn to be surprised. Finally starting to replant the ones from broken pots. He opened the shed and lifted up the pots only to spot a sleeping blue blob with a black tail curled up underneath it. Brent was surprised it had gotten in there but just sighed. How many pokemon exactly had fled in here?
Placing the pots on one of the tables Brent paused and pondered what he should do about the pokemon. Throwing them out into even light rain was kind of mean. Rather his body decided a break was in order. Having skipped breakfast in his rush to try and save everything his body protested the lack of food and the exercise.
"Right," he muttered and looked at Don and John. They hadn't eaten either. It was wrong of him to make them all work without food. "I'm heading in to make everyone breakfast. Could you watch the place to make sure no more pokemon come in?"
Don nodded while his brother lifted his leg half jumping for joy at the mention of food. Brent opened the door nearly bumping into Trent and held the door open for him. He briefly mentioned food to the tree who nodded in response. Brent disappeared inside to make their food.
The sudden lack of a pot around it must have woken the wynaut as it came out with a yawn. It blinked a few times before plopping itself in a corner looking up at the still grey sky. Trent raised a brow at the sleepy pokemon and Don pecked his brother who wanted to check it out. The doduo taking up position at the hole in the glass to try and prevent any more wandering pokemon from coming in.
Trent made note that it wasn't really hurting anything so figured it was safe to leave it alone. The doduo agreed and watched as the trevenant started soaking up the puddles trying to dry the place out especially around the pots on the ground. The bird had no idea what to expect when it had partially agreed to become the humans pokemon. Yet it was quite content. It wasn't an idle job and yet they also were pampered to an extent. They were allowed to eat whenever they wanted and weren't forced to work but asked to. He showed them respect and in turn, the pokemon respected him. Don lightly nodded to himself, yes it wasn't a half-bad life to live. WORDS: 414 TAGGED: NOTES: Garden Terrain - No Catch Attempt - Sorry

The rain was finally letting up a small mist barely making noise on the pavement as they waited for their breakfast. Don was the first to see the small pink form with its drooping blue hat. It looked at them sadly before letting out a pitiful sneeze. John looked at his brother pleadingly. The more serious head also moved by the sight but debating it all in his mind.
Taking no answer as a yes John motioned the poor girl in out of the rain. Something she accepted fully rushing between their legs. Trent only chuckling at the good-hearted nature of the pair as he reached down and dried her off with one of the many towels.
It didn't take long for the little Mime to sit beside the wynaut and watch them work. Before long the door opened and out came Brent with a large amount of food. He paused seeing the new pokemon and cast an accusatory glance at the doduo who pretended not to notice.
"Just for a bit," Brent sighed hoping this wasn't the start of something larger. He was not about to play shelter to dozen pokemon. Some that might even try to eat his plants. Sitting the food down he headed back inside leaving them to eat. He had fixed his pokemon's food first like a responsible adult should before settling down to eat his own meal.
The trevenant and doduo started eating taking a break from their respective duties. Trent was far more apt to share his food with the newcomer than the doduo whose both heads gobbled their food down with vigor. It was making for a pleasant evening brunch, to say the least.
