Across the multiverse, every timeline has a Berry. These Berrys coordinated in Nowhere In Time, a midpoint of all timelines where they are safe from all harm. These Berrys developed their own society, with Schmeckles as a currency and vending machines across the timelines for their use only.
But one day, a microfolk by the name of Edgy Dave arrived. He took control of the timelines and kidnapped the signature Berry with his army, with the plan to control all of the timelines. Gatekeeper Berry, stepping into leadership in Berry's absence, began plucking ordinary Daves from across the timelines to force them into assisting the Berrys with their war on Edgy Dave.
After hundreds of Daves came and went, Gatekeeper Berry chose the player Dave, and became so fed up with waiting for replacements he decided he'd just revive this Dave whenever necessary. Looks like it's all up to you to get back the soda and best Edgy Dave's army!
