The number of dishes Katherine could make all by herself could be counted on the hand of a person with three missing fingers. In other words - just two. Instant ramen and a surprisingly savory tomato soup. Nevertheless, this was far from the first time she found herself working in a proper kitchen. Alongside Pokemon or just men, she's no stranger to these jobs.

Hell, she probably had more experience than the rest of her party put together.

A Chandelure floats by the womans’ side, its violet flame steadily providing an EMBER whenever the need for fire arises. It handles one task for Katherine’s team, which provides her with enough time to search for coffee too.
[break][break]
For herself, that is. Why the hell did they sign up for the opening shift?
[break][break]
“This sucks,” a complaint. She’ll have plenty of those by the time their shift is over. “Can one of you explain to me why are there customers here already?”

with the order handled. zenji would partake in serving the dishes. normally he was casual complainer. but, for once, he had no comment on the subject at hand.

mainly because cooking wasn't exactly his specialty. it was as if anything zenji touched, that wasn't microwaveable, he'd utterly destroy it. a shameless secret, but thankfully he had his pokemon to help for the incoming challenge. now how exactly did he get pulled into this situation? zenji was still trying to figure that out himself.

bulbasaur, with VINE WHIP, handed zenji the order. shellos's STICK HOLD was the cherry on top. to learn that they possessed an edible substance was truly award worthy. "order up," zenji monotonously said.

“It’s dreadful, kyle.”

Well, not really, but Katherine had a knack for exaggerating in cases like this. Having to deal with work she wasn’t interested in doing reminded her of dark times— her life before joining the League as a covert agent of Rocket.

“It’s hot in here, it smells bad and this kitchen is too tiny for the number of chefs we have!”
[break][break]
Yes, she was referring to the Ditto-replicas of the former councilman. She had her pokemon to thank for rescuing her from an unfortunate fate. Decidueye arrives in time to spread its leafage, providing a flowery aroma inside the restaurant that already uplifts his trainer’s mood.

In addition, Atmos the Castform escapes from its capsule, breathing POWDER SNOW into the air. It cools the room considerably, further soothing Katherine in the process.

"ice beam."

the final key ingredient was added. with that zenji would ring the bell, saying, "order up." once again. the group of young women would whisper amongst themselves. commenting on Katherine Fairburne possessing a cool and mysterious air about her; obsessed with the woman's beauty as she donned the formal attire that was required. FERNANDO SILPH handsome and, being a older man, practically looked as if he invented the word 'refinement'.

they were attracting quite the crowd.

Chop. Chop. Chop.

A new FERNANDO SILPH joins the fray. Katherine’s Zoroark manifests with an illusion veiling its true form, turning him into another replica of the CEO. The illusion fades at times, faltering when the Dark-type utilizes its ability to HONE ITS CLAWS before FURY SWIPING at vegetables that needed to be cut into thin pieces.

No customer of hers will receive fat slices of Tamato berry hiding between their hamburger buns.
[break][break]
"A robot? Seriously?" she sounds skeptical, but not enough to step out of the kitchen to see for herself. instead, she merely glimpses at the odd man, judging him from afar. ".. Okay, I kinda see it. You should do it. Aim for their... face?" a moment of pause.
[break][break]
"wait, no! that'd be too obvious. aim for where you'd hide their charging port."

"flamethrower."

the sneasel burgers were cooked to proper temperature. "order up," zenji said. serving the odd customer his order. "anomalies?"

zenji watched as the odd fellow walked away with his order.

Katherine’s Tsareena rapid spins, twirling for entertainment. Many of the customers appear charmed by the majestic forest queen. In addition, the elite four’s Decidueye returns to spread its LEAFAGE, providing a more floral aroma within the restaurant. For a fleeting moment, it feels like they’re in Alola and not Hoenn.

“Kyle!”
[break][break]
From within the Kitchen, shortly before a peculiar Umbreon escapes from its capsule, Kat calls out for the part champion, part waiter.
[break][break]
“Well? Did you do it?”
[break][break]
As if on cue, moonlight shines from the feline’s neon-yellow rings. It appeared just as ecstatic to hear the conclusion to the story as its trainer was. A cat in a dog's restaurant was certainly unnatural, but not as unnatural as the four of them working the opening shift.
