client = PokeLance()  # Create a client instance


async def main() -> None:
    print(await client.ping())  # Ping the pokeapi
    print(await client.berry.fetch_berry("cheri"))  # Fetch a berry from the pokeapi
    print(await client.berry.fetch_berry_flavor("spicy"))
    print(await client.berry.fetch_berry_firmness("very-soft"))
    print(client.berry.get_berry("cheri"))  # Get a cached berry it will return None if it doesn't exist
    print(client.berry.get_berry_flavor("spicy"))
    print(client.berry.get_berry_firmness("very-soft"))
    await client.close()  # Close the client
    return None


asyncio.run(main())
```

```python
import asyncio

import aiohttp
from pokelance import PokeLance


async def main() -> None:
    # Use an async context manager to create a client instance
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session, PokeLance(session=session) as client:
        print(await client.ping())  # Ping the pokeapi
        print(await client.berry.fetch_berry("cheri"))  # Fetch a berry from the pokeapi
        print(await client.berry.fetch_berry_flavor("spicy"))
        print(await client.berry.fetch_berry_firmness("very-soft"))
        print(client.berry.get_berry("cheri"))  # Get a cached berry it will return None if it doesn't exist
        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
    return None

asyncio.run(main())
```
