Unfortunately, this is one of the older models which require manual input from up to four people.
Which in a certain sense is convenient, considering you've got four people.
It takes a bit of practice to actually get the timing down for using the blender properly, but once you do, the next couple of minutes as the blender purees and cooks the berries goes by faster than you'd credit, before spitting out several cerulean blue blocks of cooked, compacted Chesto Berry.
They smell enticingly savory, but they're not for you.
You divvy the dozen or so blocks up between the four of you before taking a minute to clean it out.
In the aftermath, you're taken by surprise as Holly comes up and hugs you, beaming happily.
"Uh..." You say uncertainly.
"I <span class="mu-i">love</span> making poke blocks the old fashioned way." Holly explains as she releases you, in no way self-conscious. "I used to do it all the time with mum, so it was nice to be able to do it again."
"You're welcome..." You say, still taken aback by Holly's sudden effusiveness. "I was mostly thinking this was the best way to raise our Feebas, but I'm glad you had fun." You admit.
Holly beams again, before taking over cleaning up, leaving you at loose ends.
"What're you up to now?" Fie asks.
"Going to go down to the arena and spend some time with Fluffy." You reply.
Fie nods.
"Sure thing." She says, giving you a thumbs up before you head out into the gym proper.
