The Charcherry Weekly
Heya everyone, Mage of Light Nick Card here. I just sorta wanna lay down for a while.
Continued Progress
The efforts to repair the starter planet pokedex network have been continuing all week, with participants in the archipelago program playing their respective games diligently. For some, perhaps a little too much.
Rogue of heart Charles, who admins the pokedex network and has practically put a piece of himself into their work, has been putting in some serious overtime on the repair efforts.
As a personal aside that I feel I must voice here, Charles, you've been lobbing pokeballs at pokemon at high speeds in emerald version for too many hours now. Give yourself a rest. I've been taking a few days off from my own game to be played after a certain... incident.
While the game room's vr setup may not be as dangerous as expected in this time, it still affects the user to some degree, often involving motor control.
My incident started out relatively mild. Having been playing A Short Hike, I felt the desire to take on a moderate hiking trip of my own. So I set out for the relatively near landmark of Mt. Phoenix. Being roughly a single mile away, it was a nice relaxing walk along the lakeside path, even with the survey work being done to potentially build a tram line between Unity and Charcherry.
Only briefly walking through New Charcherry, I made my way to the trailhead. One thing that I wasn't prepared for, was the incline. It turns out going up hills on foot is a workout! To most who actually engage in physical exercise more often, this fact should be more obvious.
There were a few pokemon trainers up there training their pokemon. Noticeably, they had reported to me that the pokedex network outage had made it more difficult for them to engage in pokemon training. Having made sure to bring a few of my pokemon along (Slope the slowpoke and Sunburst the Larvesta, Orb and Deer stayed home this time), I did engage in a few trainer battles. There were two relatively newbie trainers that my team was able to beat, but my pokemon were squarely defeated by a more successful trainer pretty quickly afterwards.
Out of decency, I handed the trainer some cash and made my way back down to town to get my pokemon healed once more. Just a routine visit. A minute after, I resumed my journey up Mt. Phoenix.
The second attempt was rather peaceful. I eventually found a spot slightly off the beaten path to eat lunch and relax for a while. I ended up taking a nap for most of the day. Fortunately, my pokemon kept watch for any danger pretty much the entire time, though I think slope slept for most of the time too. Regardless, when I woke up, it was clearly later in the day.
The remaining leg of the journey was pleasant, though still had a steep incline. Eventually though, I reached the summit, which just so happens to also be where the home of Korosian President Heir of Time Thoren Emit is located. When I reached the top, they were just getting home from work. They were less than pleased to see me there, but there was minimal incident and I was allowed to continue on my way to the launch-off point.
Using the elytra that I had obtained a few years ago when the game room had hosted a Minecraft server, I launched myself off the cliff and glided my way down on the breeze.
I soared to the southeast, back towards unity village. I could see charcherry forest far below, bathed in sunset hues from the main sun. Lake River rose reflected back the deep sky above, in contrast to Purity Caldera's fiery glow.
Soon enough, the rocky outcroppings of Unity greeted me. Home was within reach.
However, there was something I was not prepared for.
The landing process.
Perhaps it was a lapse in concentration, maybe it was physics being more complex than expected, but your dear newsletter writer managed to crash into their own front yard. granted, there is a decent amount of plant growth that was able to soften the blow slightly, but that wasn't enough to prevent injury.
Fortunately however, Page of Mind Samm arrived on the scene and handed me a dose of Pilk, which managed to heal a considerable amount. It didn't taste very palatable, but then again medicine isn't supposed to taste good anyways. I thanked her for her support and walked the rest of the way inside to rest.
For the past few days I've been avoiding strenuous activity and taking a break from A Short Hike, to avoid further incident. Also, apparently most of my remaining checks, of which there are few, only send out relatively insignificant items anyways. pearls and tiny mushrooms and the like.
Regardless, when I am ready, I will return to finish my game, but not until my body and mind are back in proper shape.
In related news, a private individual returned from a few years of absence and joined the archipelago team to play paper mario. I wish him the best of luck.

This week’s known market stands in Desertia Town:
-DTA train ticket stand
-Katie’s potion stand (Not available to plitlanders due to regulations, available to all others however)
-shinyjiggly pokesnacks stand
-Brae's produce stall:
- Potted vegetables
- Jarred vegetables
- Various jams
- Hisuian herbs (medicinal leek, pep-up plant, king's leaf)
-Charcherry cherries stand
Blacksmith stand:
- Shortsword (10 gp)
- Key, skeleton (85 gp)
- Chain (10 ft.) (30 gp)
- Lock, good (80 gp)
I think that does it for now. I managed to finish that flash animation, but the panels beyond continue. It'd be nice to share a bed with a certain someone. Perhaps one day.
For now though, I need to prepare myself for the last few tasks in A Short Hike.
