PokemonGo: Day 2 Mission

-
So, the PoGo Mission continues. Yesterday I started with three special missions, and on Chapter 2 of "A Mythical Discovery". Given that it was still the Easter Eggstravaganza event, that third goal didn't take long to get out of the way.


















 To earn my second sticker, I caught my third fire pokemon. That grass-based reward? That's a special pokemon that arrives for you to catch. In this case it was a cute little Magcargo with some very nice stats.


The day started out with heavy mist, so I shouldn't complain about the fire pokemon being around.


That double-up of Field Missions had me concerned. Sure, I had to do two raids for my Special Mission, anyway, but I wanted to know if doing one raid would count for both Field goals, or not. I was pleasantly surprised to find the first raid counted as completion of each separate Special Mission.


The other good news was that is still counted towards my Special Mission goal. Of course, I then had to go hunt down some more pokestops to spin, so I could find more Field Missions.
 

When I next "spoke" to Professor Willow, I saw that I had already achieved one of the tasks, in that I already had a silver Kanto medal. I wondered how that would pan out - not too badly, I discovered, because I got the reward straight away. And the next special mission wasn't too long arriving, either.
 

It was the Field Mission, I received after that one, that was going to cause a problem. You see, I can't throw a Curve ball to save myself... and I spent another 20 balls proving that this wasn't going to change anytime soon. 3 Great Curve Balls IN A ROW was not going to happen. I wondered what to do, and then I noticed that FIELD missions have a little trash can on the far right-hand side. (Special Missions do not.) I was able to erase this field mission and spin up a new one to replace it.



It's nice to know that, if you're faced with an impossible task you could change it - at least, if it's a Field Mission. I'm dreading what might happen for a Special Mission. By the end of the day, I'd completed 8 Field Missions.


I had the following tasks left, when I finished Day 2.

Australian Insects: An Unknown Caterpillar eating Grevillea flower buds

-

So, this little guy nearly bought it when I caught it eating the still-forming buds on my Robyn grevillea, but then I thought I might like to see which particular butterfly was responsible, so I took some pictures and decided to keep an eye on it, so I knew when it pupated. The first shot - caterpillar happily nibbling on flower buds:  Yup - definitely nibbling: And here's another view. Note the little yellow lumps near its back end. Same day, but it was one of those cloudy days with variegated light. And it kept nibbling for quite some time: Stretching out to get the more tasty tidbits, and using its hind feet to keep a firm grip on the branch. Eventually it looped back on itself... ...and headed into denser foliage. It didn't always move in a straight line... How come caterpillars have more feet than butterflies? Eventually, it got into some much thicker growth (well, for a young grevillea, anyway), meaning it was somewhat prot

PokemonGo Tips - Earning the Berry Master Medal

-

Another relatively easy one to earn, but it takes time. Main tip? Feed Them All. Well, okay, it's a bit more like this: Only the berries you feed to a pokemon in a gym count. You can only feed berries to pokemon in a gym that belongs to your team. You can feed up to a maximum of 10 berries to each pokemon. You can feed any pokemon that belongs to a team member, as well as your own. You can feed your team's pokemon from home, as long as you have a pokemon in the same gym - as last week's post showed. It's interesting, but really annoying if you accidentally feed a golden razzberry to a pokemon in a gym... just sayin'. Sometimes, not having a berry on hand to help catch a pokemon is also annoying - especially when you've just fed all yours to your team's pokemon - so think about that before you go all out stuffing their faces; the medal is pretty, but catching stuff is cool, too. Also, pokemon are little piggies when it comes to berries. And that&

An alien autumn. An unseen predator. Deadly burrowers and an oncoming winter. And bugs big enough to ride. Joaquin only wants to warn his daughter of a new danger. To keep her safe. To make her understand her mother isn’t coming back, while keeping her alive. But what if he’s wrong? What if Mariam really did survive? What if, when everything looks like it’s going wrong, it’s really going right? Autumnal Threat is Joaquin's story. It is a father's story...and the story of a husband who misses his wife, and wants to keep his daughter safe from a new threat on their frontier world. It's a story of hope, and not giving up, and of family, as well as an exploration of what an alien eco-system might look like. It was a lot of fun to write. You can find links to this newly released, stand-alone, science-fiction short story on this Books2Read page: https://books2read.com/u/mgyopK or read an earlier version in A Collection of Lost Ships and Colonies .
