        print(await client.ping())  # Ping the pokeapi
        print(await client.berry.fetch_berry("cheri"))  # Fetch a berry from the pokeapi

        print(client.berry.get_berry_flavor("spicy"))
        print(client.berry.get_berry_firmness("very-soft"))
        # The client will be closed automatically when the async context manager exits
