Description
“Oh, what have we here? Someone in need of assistance of the chemical variety? Come, don’t be shy, step inside and you shall find a concoction for every conceivable occasion, as well as a few inconceivable ones.”
Medication
“Got an ailment you wish were gone, or simply stocking up should misfortune fall? In either case, see if anything meets your needs. If not, let me know if you require something more… specific, and I’ll see what I can do”
1. Oran Broth:
“The very definition of a ‘down-home folk-remedy’, it is a favorite amongst more ‘traditional’ families, with a recipe that’s primary ingredients (i.e. Oran Berries and Love) have remained unchanged for all of recorded history. Still, if it is not broken, I suppose there is no immediate cause to fix it.”
Effect: Cures fatigue and minor injuries. Served cold, not a bad martini-mix.
Cost: 250 Crescents per dose, or 1000 Crescents for 5 doses
2. Sitrusting Ointment:
“The story behind this cream lies with an an intelligent young Gothorita, and her boorish Bisharp brother. After one day, after his usual bombardment of cuts and nicks against the poor girl, he came up with the idea of rubbing the cuts with an over ripe sitrus berry. Despite the sharp pain, the Gothorita noticed that the cuts healed significantly faster. When she got older, she used this principle the develop a topical cream and made herself a vast fortune, of which her brother saw none. I do love a happy ending.”
Effect: Heals cuts and other flesh wounds. Stings, like, a lot.
Cost: 300 Crescents per bottle
3. Chansey Egg Essence:
“Before you run off to alert the guards of an infanticide, allow me to inform you that this product is derived from the shells of eggs that have Already Hatched, with permission from the mothers, as well as financial compensation. With that out of the way, it is a little known fact that Chansey eggs are coated with a unique film that kills the majority of harmful bacteria on contact, yet is harmless to even infant immune systems. By concentrating this film into both a topical and edible paste, we are left with a product capable of safely disinfecting wounds and expediting recovery from diseases. Of course, if you still find the origin of this product too disturbing, let me know, and I’ll let you explain to all of the kingdom’s mothers why your ideals are worth more than their chilren’s health.”
Effect: Cures infections, kills bacteria, helps fight disease. Controversial in some circles.
Cost: 1000 Crescents per bottle
4. Gawain’s Special Brew:
“A recipe I developed specifically for our resident Captain of the Guard, in the wake of certain events he and I have agreed to never speak of again. It occurred to me that it might also benefit those who partake in similar activities. If you wish, I can change the label to something less… ‘conspicuous’. No need for your night time activities to see the light of day.”
Effect: Alleviates Hangovers.
Cost: 500 Crescents for 2 Doses
5. Milk of the Enigma:
“Yes, I am aware of the stigma it has developed in certain areas, but used sparingly it has the potential to be a highly effect medication, and I’m not about to let any Small-Minded!… Ehem, anyway… Made of refined Enigma Berry juice (that is first crystalized, then converted to a white powder), it is one of the most potent… ‘Pain-Relievers’… in the known world. Due to it’s potentially ‘habit forming’ nature, You will need to supply very specific reasons why it is required, and even then it will only be sold in measured doses.”
Effect: Removes all feeling of pain and produces euphoria. Highly addictive.
Cost: 2000 Crescents per dose
Poisons/Explosives
“‘Those who heal can also hurt.’ The self-fulfilling prophecy of a certain, former, monarch. But, I digress. For those more interested in inflicting injuries than healing them, I offer a wide range of toxins and chemical-based combustibles to assist you in your endeavors.”
Seviper Venom:
“As you have no doubt surmised, the same poison found in the fangs and tail of a seviper, with a few additives to lengthen its shelf life, which in it’s natural state is quite short once it has has left the venom glands. I offer both the natural liquid venom for poisoning drinks, and a syrupy semi-adhesive processed form for coating weapons… Am I worried about being poisoned myself? Perish the thought, I have full faith in the integrity of my customers, and their intentions. The anti-toxin I add to all of my food is for… medical purposes.”
Effect: Liquid Poisons, Processed Badly Poisons.
Cost: 800 Crescents for Liquid, 1100 Crescents for Processed
Cloudwater:
“A deceptively clear liquid, this tricky little brew can be added to drinks to temporarily slow the mind and memory, not to mention impairing proper judgement. It requires time to take full effect, making it that much more difficult for your...'recipient', to tell when they are under its influence. Note that although its appearance is akin to that of water, it has a decidedly chalky taste, and is best added to more flavorful drinks to avoid detection. What’s that, have I ever used it myself?...I assure you, no one possesses any memory of me doing such a thing….Thirsty?”
Effect: Disables ability and 2 random moves. Induces short-term memory loss.
Cost: 1700 Crescents
Gulpin Gut Spray:
“The stomach acid of the ultimate omnivore, placed inside of an unassuming perfume bottle for easy application. (Whatever you THINK it’s like obtaining the intestinal juices of a living stomach, I assure you, it is FAR more disgusting.) A single spray will eat through any type of organic material, including wood, but leave metal untouched. Although this limitation renders the concoction ineffective against steel types and pokemon in metal armor, this weakness can be turned into a strength. It can safely coat weapons, be strayed INSIDE of armor you know an enemy will put on, or even be sprayed on a metal floor to lay a trap…Ladies? Ladies no, that’s not a perfume sample…LADIES!”
Effect: Each bottle allows the use of Acid Spray 8 times
Cost: 950 Crescents a bottle
Little Big Boomers:
“As much as I appreciate the subtly of a chemical additive,sometimes the best method is the most direct...and I defy you to find a method more direct than a fiery explosion! These little pouches contain a specific mixture of sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate, with just a touch of Gawain’s favorite…beverage…for extra yield. They will explode violently when exposed to fire, but are also volatile enough that striking or throwing them with sufficient force will cause them to detonate. Keep out of reach of children.”
Effect: Each allows 1 use of Flame Burst
Cost: 240 Crescents each
Boom-Shrooms:
“Made from dried Shaden Caps, a species of mushroom native to the Theoria Swamp that have a rather unique method of spreading their spores; Violently Exploding. Not only do these biological bombs have an impressive yield and blast radius, they also function normally under water….Concerned about the spores spreading here in Aether? Worry not, these bombs are comprised of an infertile hybrid strain, so there is no chance of an infestation of highly volatile fungus, each capable of maiming or otherwise horribly injuring you should you take a single careless step…probably.”
Effect: Each allows 1 use of Seed Bomb
Cost: 400 Crescents each
Luminesticks:
“Once a favorite amongst the children of Krysanthen during nighttime festivals, these tubes contain bio-luminescent plant cells and the activation enzyme, each separated from the other by thin film. Simply bend the tube until the film ruptures, and it will release a steady stream of green light. They stopped being used once the children figured out that they could be shattered to create a blinding flash, and began using them for various…mischief. Fortunately, you and your children remain free to enjoy them!...for now.”
Effect: Crack to make it emit light for 1 hour, Throw to shatter it and use Flash
Cost: 700 Crescents each
Heatran Hot Sauce:
“Truth be told, I don’t fully understand the…principles this product works under. Still, you can’t argue with results. A single swig from the bottle, and its insurmountable spiciness will have even an Ice type spitting fire! Just don’t store it in the pantry, that tends to lead to burned table cloths.”
Effect: Each dose allows 1 use of Overheat, 10 doses per bottle
Cost: 1000 Crescents per bottle
“Enhancers”
“What’s that, your natural abilities and limitations are not enough for you? Well, if you are feeling, ‘adventurous’, I may have something to remedy that situation. Provided, of course, that your pockets are deep and your lips are tight.”
Note that all potions last 24 hours, unless otherwise specified. Cost listed is for one dose.
Cosmic Drought:
“An interesting concoction first devised by the monks in the high mountains of Samudaay (India). According to their mythology, the formula for the odd brew was ‘revealed to Brother Faiyaz in a dream by the Enlightened One himself,’ and that it is ‘derived from the essence of Sati (Mindfulness) and Samadhi (Concentration) allowing the user to glimpse into Bodhi (Enlightenment) as long as one is tranquil in thought, and pure in spirit.’ Now, this recipe is a carefully guarded secret, and any monk would happily take that secret to their grave. However, I was able to find one who, though he almost certainly would have taken this secret with him into his ‘next life,’ he did not manage to take it to the bottom of his glass. One of the world’s most tightly kept secrets, and all it cost me were a few bottles of Lum Berry wine (even if they were vintage). As for whether the mixture has spiritual properties, I have my own theories concerning where its effects derive, as many of the ingredients are known to stimulate the section of the brain that is associated with psychic abilities. Whether or not the recipe was indeed revealed by the ‘Enlightened One,’ I can offer no insight.
In any case, the potion temporarily enhances the user’s awareness of the world and their own capabilities, revealing secrets most mons’ are blind to, and unlocking powers they never suspected they had. Be wary though: if you allow your mind drift into thoughts of uncertainty, remorse, or avarice, the awareness will leave you, sapping your strength with it.…Alright, perhaps there is something their legend.”
Effect: Grants use of Future Sight and Hidden Power. If thoughts become impure, the powers leave and you become paralyzed. Restore order to your thoughts, the powers come back and you are no longer paralyzed.
Cost: 1200 crescents
SymbioLichen Salve:
“The SymbioLichen is a truly unique organism, possessing the attributes of both a plant and a fungus, and able to live in even the most hostile environments. A native species of my old home, the Theoria Swamp, I spent years unlocking the secrets of this magnificent protist. Seeing the symbiotic relationship it was capable of forming with its host, it occurred to me that perhaps it could be used as a source of nutrients for poor families, allowing them to photosynthesize to compensate for a lack of food. The early experiments…were not promising. It seems that although energy was transferred to the host, nutrients were not. Therefor, its only use could be raise a mon’s power. (Upon learning this, my former Lord insisted I redirect my research to military applications. I followed his orders, as any good servant to the state would…however, he never did say anything about reporting the results, and I never had an inclination to tell him.)
From my research, I have been able distill its complex photoreceptive and transport enzymes into a salve that, when applied to the skin, it will absorb energy from the sun and transfer it to the individual, boosting their strength considerably. You must be very careful, however, to keep the salve in direct sunlight. If no solar energy is present, it begin to take its energy from you! Incidentally, this salve will not wear off on its own, and must be scraped off manually when you are done with it. I would suggest removing it before nightfall, but you are free to do as you wish.”
Effect: In sunlight=Flower Gift status, no sunlight=Leech Seed status. Does not wear off, must be manually removed. Does not need to cover whole body, but make sure part it does cover stays in sunlight.
Cost: 1300 crescents
Eelectric Jelly:
“For the love of Arceus, don’t open that in here!…*Ehem* What you there, is the super conductive mucus that coats the body of an Eelectric. (No, you do not wish to know how I acquire it) Anyway, not only does it divert any electricity safely away from the one who is…blanketed with it, it also works in juncture with the magnetic forces in the air, allowing for limited flight! Why do I not want it opened? Well, while it it is completely safe, it is not exactly…aromatic…”
Effect: User gets Levitate status and immunity to electric type moves. Smells TERRIBLE. Effects only last one(1) hour, but the smell lasts all day.
Cost: 1000 crescents
Mead of Madness:
“The signature tool of the mighty Chanyuvian Bugunor Tribe, it allowed them to sweep over village after village, an unstoppable juggernaut of destruction! They my very well have ransacked all of western Avalon; had their leader not gotten terribly drunk one night, choked on her own vomit, and triggered infighting amongst her generals that led to them all wiping each other out. For decades, it was assumed that the recipe for their amazing concoction had been lost. Until, that is, a certain water/psychic-type happened to find it in a musty old tome in Krysanthen’s…severely underutilized…library. I do enjoy a good book. Be aware that the power it grants is more than some can handle, and may send you into a blind rage, causing you attack anything that breaths…best not to use it around anything fragile.”
Effect: Changes ability to Pure Power. All moves become fighting-type. May cause confusion.
Cost: 1600 crescents
Vigoroth Adrenal Hormone:
“As a member of a pokemon species noted for its…leisurely pace, I was always intrigued by how a Slackoth (a species of comparable speed) becomes so very active once it evolves. Fortunate for my curiosity, a plague outbreak in the section of Krysanthen’s slums where many of members of the Slackoth evolutionary tree resided, provided my with plenty of subjects to dissect and test on. (Oh please, don’t give me that look. It’s not as though they still needed their internal organs.) After much experimentation, I was eventually able to isolate the hormone that triggers their increased activity. Further research, and I was able to synthesize an artificial derivative for use in others. However, in process of uncovering the source of a Vigoroth’s speed, I also found the secret behind a Slaking’s laziness. It seems that if physical activity become too great, the hormone will cause them to feel lethargic, unwilling to apply a constant effort. So, you will be able to do things very quickly, but only in sort burst. Unless, of course, you are lucky enough to have such low speed to begin with that you do not meet the threshold.”
Effect: TRIPLES base speed. If base speed rises over 100 (see your pokemon’s official stats) ability changes to Truant.
Cost: 1800 crescents
Cupid’s Kiss:
“*Sigh*…entire Empires have risen and fallen due to the use and misuse of this potion. Anyway, for those of you who are more a lover than a fighter (and no moral compass) this is the potion for you. Need a favor from a powerful individual, are simply searching for a little nighttime... 'companionship'? A single touch, and they will sell their souls to put a smile on your face. Be wary, it is ineffective against those with the same gender, or simply no gender at all, and with your moves disabled, you had best makes 'friends' rather quickly. Incidentally, should I ever get wind of you attempting to use it on any of my associates, you would do well to have all of your meals tested for poison.”
Effect: Changes ability to Cute Charm. Prohibits use of all moves.
Cost: 2500 crescents.
