"Hmm... This seemed to be a good place for you, apple," The monkey spoke, and showed me the place. It's a mountain with a huge cave - surrounding it was countless trees and blooming flowers. However...
"It's weird that there's no fruits around here, right?" The monkey sighed. Correct. If this is a place filled with fruits, obviously the monkey(s?) would've chose this place to stay. Alas, there's none. How odd.
"Beautiful greens and colorful flowers, yet no fruits. Odd, indeed..." Perhaps they didn't managed to get any fruit tree seeds over here. Sad. "Alright. I'll turn this place into a fruits garden then!"
"...I'm still not quite sure how you have that confidence," Nope. I just acted that I have so that you will not eat me. "But I'll just let you be then."
"Ok!"
"..."
"..."
"...so...???"
"...uh, I think you have to bury me somewhere???"
"...make sense."
The monkey brought me to a spot where there's already a lot of trees. He dug a little hole, and stuck me into it.
[ Do you wish to take root here? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Huh. It prompted me a computer-like question. Neat.
Yes please?
[ WARNING: Not enough space. The growth will be affected. Do you still wish to take root here? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Eh.
"Monkey."
"What?"
"I don't have enough space to take root here. I can't grow well here."
"...oh."
The monkey picked me up, and brought me to a super empty space... like, there's only weeds here. No flowers, no trees... just nothing. He dug a hole and stuck me in again.
[ WARNING: Not enough nutrition values. ]
"Monkey. This time I lack of nutritions."
"...tsk."
He picked me up again, and looked around. He tried to stuck me into various places but...
[ WARNING: Not enough growth space. ]

[ WARNING: Not enough nutrition for growth. ]

"This is getting harder and harder..." I sighed, got tired from all those messages. How odd that such a beautiful place... have poisonous area and insects that could affect my growth!
"Apple. I'm gonna eat you now. This is getting troublesome," Eh eh eh, the grip is getting tougher! Can you not???
"Wait wait! Uh, I'll... uh, try to ask for help??? Or you could always place me on the ground and let me choose a spot rather than you choosing a spot for me???"
"...hmph. Last time, alright?" Phew. I'm saved from being dead within his grip. Now... I'm placed on the ground. Hmmm. What can I do? I need to search for a place where I can root and grow properly-
[ Do you want to search for an appropriate rooting location? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Wow. That can be done too? Neat. Yes please?
[ Please wait for a moment. ]
Oh wow. Suddenly, I could feel the earth... where the water flows, where the wind blows... and where's the good stuffs... Like, if you see the ground as trees and grasses? I see the ground as blue, orange, red, and green. Blue indicates the water; orange indicates the ground being not nutritious enough; red simply indicates that I couldn't take root at that point for various reasons; green are the best spots with high nutritional values and enough water for me to grow... wait. There's also a purple spot. Was that the poison spot? So... that point is not red, like, I CAN take root there? It's just that the poisons will turn my fruits poisonous?
Huh.
That will definitely be a great help in the future, I think.
But now... let's just take root at that green spot over there-
[ Analyzation complete. Showing statistics now. ]
WOAH!
Suddenly, the spots that were colored are now being paired up with numbers and descriptions! While I understood that oranges and greens were ok for me to take root upon, I didn't know that I can grow into different kinds of plants if I chose to grow in different spots!
There's this one spot with medicinal values, while the other one will help me to grow delicious fruits. Then there's a spot where I will not be able to grow fruits at all, but I can became a great treant that have strong woods and sharp leaves to kill my opponents... huh. If I want to, I could grow into that and kill off this monkey? Is that what it means?
Nah.
I made a promise, and I shall try my best to do it.
"Uhhhhhhhh... Monkey."
"What?" Uh oh, the monkey sounded very annoyed. Was I taking too long?
"Do you want, uh, medicinal fruits, or delicious fruits, or... uh, e...le...mental... fruits??? What's this?"
"?! Elemental fruits you say?!" That monkey suddenly sounded very surprised. Why???
"Y-Yeah. Why?"
"Those are legendary fruits! Once you ate the fruit - depending on the portion - you will gain the power from the fruit, and possibly evolve into a greater being!"
...oh. Like that one where I was a Horned Rabbit and ate that something legendary fruit which turned me into a massive moving destruction?
"I want that, apple! Please! If you managed to grow fruits, I swear that I will take care of you for my entire life!" Hold on hold on, why does that last phrase sounded like a wedding proposal. I don't want you, monkey. Even if it's a monkey, I want a female one.
But, eh, free health cares. Why not?
"Alright then! Please plant me nearby the spring, a few feet away from the red flower."
"Ok!"
The monkey hastily picked me up, went to the place where I told him, dug a hole, and nicely placed me into it - as if he's afraid that he'll hurt me. Huh, suddenly my value go up so high, huh.
[ Do you wish to take root here? ]
[ Yes / No ]
Yes please!
[ Preparing for evolution sequence... ]
U-Uwoooh!!!
I can feel my body breaking out, and... roots started to go down to the ground. I felt the softness and the humidity of the ground. It's... so comfortable! I have never felt so comfortable in my whole life! I mean, aside from being in bed. Heh.
