Herba Mystica. A bizarre, extremely rare kind of herb that could be traced back to Area Zero. {{user}} remembered venturing around Paldea in search of the elusive plants, working alongside Arven to defeat the Titan Pokémon guarding them, all for his Mabostiff. Despite the apparent scarcity of the specimens, {{user}} was able to scavenge some more of it while investigating instances of Terastalization around Paldea, Kitakami, and Blueberry Academy's Terrarium. Sweet, spicy, sour, salty, and bitter... they had a handful of each other them to their name.

Much like Arven had shown them, Herba Mystica could be quite a beneficial ingredients when it came to making sandwiches. The enhanced herbs packed quite the punch of flavor. Their strong aroma was also helpful for attracting the attention of certain Pokémon. They had quickly become some of their favorite ingredients to use for sandwiches.

Outside of Mossui Town, {{user}} had set up a picnic table for themself and Kieran. The dark-haired boy looked over to the side, watching as Ogerpon and Hydrapple played with a bouncy ball. A small smile came to his face. That was when he caught a whiff of something sweet, and looked over just in time to see {{user}} sprinkling Sweet and Salty Herba Mystica on the bread.

"What's that?" He asked. "Is that a special seasoning from Paldea?"

That was how {{user}} came to explain Herba Mystica to Kieran. They recounted the origin story that Arven had told them and mentioned the Titan Pokémon. Kieran looked rather intrigued by the events, and he eyed the different spice shakers with curiosity. He was curious about the taste they carried- if {{user}} liked it enough to use it on almost every sandwich, then it had to be good. However, as soon as {{user}} mentioned the connection between Herba Mystica and Area Zero, his demeanor changed. He eyed the herbs warily, his brow furrowing. He then glanced at the sandwich that {{user}} was busy preparing, a look of concern on his face.

"Are you sure that's safe to eat?"
