Never underestimate Michiko's devotion to the game Pokemon Bodega Mix.

Michi had been playing the hit cafe simulator on her smartphone since its release the year before-- long before she started catching Pokemon in real life. In fact, she'd caught her her chocolate Slurpuff because he reminded her of one of the star Bodega Mix characters!

In fact, an alarming number of her Pokemon matched that theme. Had the game influenced her psychologically?!

She was more than delighted to accept the invitation from Chef Branes to help out-- it was almost a dream come true for her! "I am already level 87!" she exclaimed, tickled by the offer. "I have finished the DLC also, so it will be fun!"

Wearing an old re-re-revowing dress to suit the formal nature of the event, Michi and her excessive Pokemon collection got to work with vigor on the first order: a latte!

Of course, for such an old hand at Pokemon Bodega Mix, the dish was a cinch. Meriru filled up the espresso machine with her water gun and the adorable chocolate Slurpi got to work frothing the milk for the latte.

Ah, but something was missing? Heat! 

Trying to be sneaky, Michi sent Kokoa the Litleo out under the counter. The lion cub meowed at her inquisitively and Michi shushed her, looking around with wide eyes in case anyone saw her fraternizing with a de facto member of the the cat team. 

Nearby, Appuri the Appleton was using his Sweet Scent to infuse a strawberry-and-cream sandwich with his signature apple flavor. It sounded like a delicious combi and Michi was almost envious of the customer as her pink Shellos, Lala, took turns oozing over the bread to make sure the sandwich didn't fall apart. 

Finally, Michi's Flabebe flew down to delicately affix a toothpick with her Vine Whip. 

The first order was done and Michi swept over to the customer's table, offering them the latte and the strawberry sandwich. "Thank you! Please enjoy!" The older woman seemed absolutely delighted to be there.


ORDER #1 COMPLETE!

Tallulah had never really prepared food in a rush before. there was always time. but before she even blink, it was all over. the first dish was done.

"good job everyone" she says, hiding her nerves. there was a clear cook in the vicinity; Tallulah had really only made sandwiches and stew by scratch before. she really needed to up her game.

Gwyar was not really an avid Chef, but it was hard to say no to the Swirlix's cute little face- specially when Raki seemed so eager to help!

was already there as well, which only made the prospect more enticing. He hadn't seen her since the renewal of her vows! So much catching up to do- and he needed to report on Raki's growth as well!

Ms. @tallulah was there was well; he hadn't expected to meet her again here, of all places! Hoenn sure was full of funny coincidences!

"Indeed! Superb speed, Michiko!" Gwyar said, clapping his hands alongside Raki. The puppy looked happy but not surprised.

Gwyar turned on his heel to gaze at his own team, humming. "All of you ready? The next order is coming... I can feel it in my bones!"

Maverick was never the type to cook. The culinary arts never ticked his fancy. And it was very clear, even making box Mac and Cheese was difficult for him. But when he heard of this cook out, his thoughts darted to Eva. Although he didn’t know much about the woman yet, maybe learning a new skill would help gain her likeness. Would learning how to cook impress this woman? Do woman like a man that can cook?

His warm gaze flickered over his fellow workers, lightly tugging at the wardrobe he was forced to wear during this cook out. The man was never the type to get nervous, but today he was. A lump formed in his throat, struggling to swallow it. But when they started, he was relieved when the older woman named Michiko was leading the kitchen. He followed her orders, being sure to do everything her and the rest told him to do with the best of his lackluster abilities. And quicker then he could really comprehend what they were making and giving out to the customers, the task was done. A sigh escaped him, glad that he didn’t mess it up.

"Did someone need this Powder Snow?" Michiko called anxiously, rushing past with a bowl of freshly-made, perfectly powdery snow. There was still a Snom sitting on top of it, rattling inquisitively. "Oh! Gwyar, you are here also!" She stopped when she ran into the blond Galarian, beaming. She saw he was in the middle of finishing another order and hastily handed off the prep container of Power Snow + Snom to the man in case he needed it. "Where is Raki? Of course, he is a dog... so this dog cafe is the best choice."

She bustled off again to start preparing more ingredients so that they could act quickly when the next batch of customers came in-- she was not a very skilled cook in real life, so it was good this was only Pokemon Bodega Mix! Her conga line of Pokemon followed after her, bussing a line of dirty dishes back to the dishwashing area. It is good I made all those in-app purchases, Michi thought happily.

"Yes I did!" Gwyar said, grasping the powder and handing it to his Milcery before beaming back at . "Indeed! I could not say no to that face."

He threw a wry look their Slurpuff manager's way, which it returned with a blank faced yip. The man could only laugh delightedly. Truly irresistible.

"Raki's in the back helping things along!" He said, gesturing over his shoulder into the kitchen, were several pokemon stood and worked, Raki among them.

Finally, the blonde man clapped his hands with a broad smile, turning towards @tallulah and .

"We're doing great everyone, but things are just getting started! The customers are beginning to flood in!" Lunch time was truly beginning to flourish now! The orders at the counter piled up as the sits began to be filled.

At the kitchen, his Amaura and Milcery were hard at work together with Raki, the puppy swiftly slapping empty cups atop the kitchen counter so the fossil pokemon to blast with ice beam and color with Aurora beam, while the Milcery swiftly flavored them with Michiko's Sweet kiss-sweetened Powder Snow.

On the other side of the kitchen, the several ingredients that made up a Capresse salad were thrown high in the air by Gwyar's Decidueye, before 's Porygon-Z blurred, moving through them like lightning in erratic, incomprehensible patterns.

A blink, and every single piece was sliced to thoroughly calculated perfection. Sharp eyes gleaming, Robin the Decidueye knocked back several Leafage arrows and launched, each thrown leaf catching the perfect amount of ingredients before slowly fluttering down unto plates... were they got Sharpened down to even tinier pieces by the PorygonZ once again.

With several plates of salad and bowls of Shaved ice at the ready, Gwyar turned to Tallulah and Maverick.

"Come now, everyone!" He said, grasping a plate and bowl in hand. "The customers are waiting!"

They were understaffed- they would have serve as waiters as well!

ORDER #2, READY!

it was very clear she was at a disadvantage here.

but Tallulah was learning life lessons, more than what her Pa taught her. she was learning how to cook - the man had been terrible at it himself - under the watchful eyes of the others. but as much as she learned, she also had a bit less participation.

yes, she was a bit scared of messing up. "I got it" she says to the blond man, taking a tray and going out of the kitchen. if she couldn't cook - she would wait tables! that was very practical to her.

Another order came in just as they finished the first one, fumbling to keep himself together and help his fellow workers. His gaze flickered to Gwyar when he spoke in praise, the scarred man’s expression filled with anxiety. He never knew cooking could be this difficult and this stressful. Once again, he was thankful to have more experienced chefs to aid him.

In no time at all, the dishes were put together with the aid of their pokemon. It was clear he wasn’t ready for this cook out. And when every single dish was completed, Mav was swift to listen to Gwyar and grab a few plates. With a fake smile and his best polite manner, he moved through the dinner to deliver the plates to the customers. Only once all the plates where out, the trainer would return back to the kitchen and await the next orders. A breath of air expelled from him, already feeling exhausted and the night was still young.

for @tallulah and at slateport city doing cvd event lol. mav is struggling. xD

Gwyar had nothing but praise for his fellow chefs, and specially for Chef Barnes, may gods bless him and grant him victory in this war against the inglorious cat kingdom-

But he didn't really get to say any of them, because the orders just kept coming, coming, coming!

"Third order's in! It's a Burger and Cupcakes! Raki, help Berry out!" The man called over the counter as Raki vaulted over and swung into the kitchen in a rush, practically tackling Gwyar's Milcery to the floor with a cheery yip before he began to spin him around wildly, squeals filling the kitchen as they became a blurry, gleaming vortex of motion-

Before a ball of light was launched into the air by the puppy.

A blinding glow filled the kitchen as the ball spread outwards, growing in size before becoming a literal, sentient cupcake.

The brand new Alcremie slowly descended back into the kitchen with a smile, before she began to laugh cheerfully, spreading her hands outwards- and sending Decorations all over the place!



TL;DR:
-Raki used Helping Hand to assist Berry the Milcery!
-He proceeds to spin her around before yeeting her.
-Milcery evolved to Alcremie!
-Alcremie used Decorate!

"Fairy Wind."

 was handling the cupcakes, so she ought to help. releasing her Ribombee, Tallulah orders a topping of fae breeze on the cupcakes. the others were doing just fine, except for  who looked a little lost. she tries to smile reassuringly at him.

but it is lost in the hustle and bustle of the kitchen's setting. when would this be over? what would they do once it was? who knew. they'd probably all go their separate ways after this. "I need a drink after this" Tallulah remarks out loud.

Will the orders ever end?

Maverick moved about the kitchen franticly, trying to keep up with his (what seemed like to him) experienced co workers in the kitchen. A bead of sweat slid down the side of his face, feeling the presser of this fast pace environment. To him, this felt a lot more difficult then any battle he has ever done before. This was work. Normally, the trainer had a vast amount of pokemon that could handle anything. Here, he felt he was useless. He didn’t know how to cook and his pokemon didn’t provide much aid at the moment. But when the next order was called out, it was finally his time to shine!

“I can get the burger started!” The man hollered snatching the meat and condiments from the cooler and spreading them out before him. He took in a deep breath as his gaze flashed over everything he did to do. He could never cut this all up in time. Reaching into his pocket, the scarred man called out his weavile to assist him. “Use FURY SWIPE to help me cut this all up.” The ice and dark type rose a brow at him, arms crossed over his chest. “Please.” Atavias rolled his eyes, moving to help his trainer slice and dice.

His claws moved in a fury, slicing everything evenly in the matter of seconds. A grin tugged the edges of his lips, giving the pokemon a pleated nod. Next, he need help cooking them up. Recalling the weavile, he plucked out another ball and summoned one of his many fire types. The hell hound’s gaze met his masters, confused when it noticed its environment. “Can you help me cook these really quick?” The canine nodded, following the trainer to the grill. Once all the patties were laid out, the trainer let the pokemon warm things up. Memphis took a deep breath, muzzle burst open to let loose a stream of flames cook the burgers. The FLAMETHROWER cooked them in no time, almost burning them as Maverick was quick to tap the creature to stop. The fire and dark type backed away, watching his master move about in a franticly. It was lucky the houndoom had the ability EARLY BIRD, Maverick might need him again and help keep people awake.

“Can someone help me assemble all these?”

for @tallulah and at slateport city doing cvd event Weavile used Fury Swipes and Memphis the houndoom use flamethrower and early bird to keep everyone away.

Wonderful! Michi clapped her hands enthusiastically, admiring the efforts of her coworkers. The appearance of Alcremie in particular earned some small applause.

A terrible sharpening sound from the back had been going on for awhile. Michi had been assuming someone was just sharpening the knives, but when she peeked into the kitchen she saw it was actually Baja, her linoone, using HONE CLAWS.

“Eh?? What are you doing?” She cried before the badger Pokémon proceeded to slice up the lettuce, tomato, and cheese for the burgers. Heeding Maverick’s cry for assistance, Michi quickly assembled the burgers, plated them alongside the cupcakes, and rushed them out to the customers.

ORDER 3 COMPLETE!

Fortunately, the pizza gods were looking down upon Michi when the next order came in. Pastry cutter gripped in one hand, she scraped the rising dough ball out of the dough cooler fridge and flattened it with her Appletun’s Bulldoze before rolling it out to a rounded shape. She had to put her back into it, and the little woman’s hands shook as the cold, resilient dough resisted her every move. Still, Michi was too determined to let it shrink without a fight!

She left tossing the dough to her Komala, the flat dough resting nicely atop the koala Pokémon’s flat log just like a pie pan. It flew into the air under the power of Rapid Spin, centrifugal force making the dough thinner near the center and thicker towards the crust.

Pleased with her efforts, Michi docked the dough so that no air bubbles would ruin the pizza during the cooking process and moved the dough onto one of the prepared screens, saucing it with even, circular motions of the ladle so that the sauce was even across the lightly-floured surface. Sprinkling shreds of of four-cheese blend across the sauce, Michi rolled the cheese to the edges of the sauce so it wouldn’t burn during the baking process and made sure there wasn’t too much cheese in the middle. Despite what most people thought, more cheese didn’t actually improve the pizza experience. The secret was actually balance in the ingredients involved—provided those ingredients were of good quality, of course.

“Ready for the bowtie!” she called, hoping someone would finish adding the basil before the cheesy Rowlet pizza was cooked. It would be so round and adorable, she couldn’t wait!

'Cause they are all good boys


"The next order is here!" Gwyar declared as he walked back into the kitchen, an apron having found its way atop his suit at some point as he weaved a paper in the air. He looked around. "Does anyone know how to make a pizza- Oh! Commendable swiftness, Michiko!"

Robin peered over the housewife's shoulder curiously as she worked, cooing the woman worked in tandem with her pokemon to make preparations. When her request for a bowtie rang in the air, silence followed as the Decidueye blinked and looked around, awaiting for someone to pitch in.

"Robin... The basil." Gwyar pitched in helpfully after said moment, giving the Decidueye a meaningful look, to which she could only blink. What, she had to do this twice?

As the Decidueye quickly tried to make up for lost time with her Leafage, the other side of the kitchen was filled with a cacophony of grinding ice.

Gwyar's Alolan Sandshrew had gotten into something of a spat with an errant Kling Klang of unknown origin, 's poor baby having wandered off far from the Cat's kitchen and into enemy territory.

It wasn't long before the loud sound of grinding filled the air, two angry rapidly spinning pokemon crashing into each other and refusing to back down, the Sandshrew generating large amounts of ice to coat its body and empower its charge while the Kling Klang rapidly spun its gears, shaving away the ice and sending it all over the kitchen.


TL;DR:
-Decidueye used Leafage.
-Sandshrew used Ice Ball.
-Kling Klang used Gear Grind.

another order down.

Tallulah wipes her brow, sighing. the various Pokemon in the kitchen were making it hard to get around, but she managed to squeeze by with the orders and serve them to the customers.

Sugar kept her company. the Ribombee was so small he didn't get in anyone's way. flickering between kitchen and dining area, Tallulah effortlessly served the customers while her co-workers worked.
