If there was one thing she missed, it was cooking a lot of food.

Particularly, a feast worth of food!

And then she remembered that the terrible duo were going to be running around, causing general chaos and mayhem, so… how was she going to get them under control, she wondered?

“JOSH!” she hollered from the kitchen, her hands currently busy preparing one of the main dishes that were going to be served later in the evening.

“Have you seen where the two had run off to?!” she added as she continued to season the meat.

Tis’ was indeed the season, and for the season, a feast! While salivating over the idea of all that yummy good, it actually had to be prepared first. But while Izumi was doing her part, it seemed she had lost the tykes. Luckily there were two sides to every marriage. And this side happened to be a big fan of co-parenting.

While Izumi got no answer from Josh, which may raise some concern at first, another voice would give her an answer instead.

“MAGIKARP, USE SPLASH!”

“NO MAGIKARP, SPLASH BIGGER THAN HIS MAGIKARP!”

Josh had indeed found a means of distracting the kids, just outside the window where she could see. It seemed that some Magikarp had found their way onto the ranch’s imported lake. How? He had no idea. But he was going to make the most of it as he called the kids over to see. As a joke, he had recommended the two of them have a mock Pokemon battle with them. Maybe it would inspire growth, if them eating their fill tonight didn't make them grow in a completely different way.

The catch was that the Magikarp only knew Splash. So all they did was splash around, and it was unclear if they heard the kids, but they were splashing around enough to at least keep their attention.

The moment she heard the kids shouting at the Magikarp to use Splash, she bad to bite back a snort or two.

Okay, maybe not a snort but an entire heckling guffaw of laughter. She was pretty sure the kids were going to start hollering their heads off the moment they realized that Magikarp could only naturally learn Splash in the wild—

So what was up with some of the species knowing Flail? Was that a fluke of nature?

Either way, she was busy deshelling some apricorns and making some Pokétreats for the…menagerie…well, one could say they owned a literal equivalent of a sanctuary’s worth of Pokémon between them, after all.

“Did you get the Pokémon squared away yet?” she asked Josh, wherever he was doing whatever while keeping an eye on the kids.

Well, at least the kids didn't seem to mind that at the moment, these Magikarp only knew Splash. Perhaps in some multiverse far out in the nether-scopes, there were Magikarp that could learn Roar of Time or something. But at least this would keep them entertained for a bit, anyway. "Yeah, the Pokemon are squared!" Josh called back. When it came to the Pokemon, Josh was chronically on top of things. Call it force of habit considering the way he had grown up. He usually had the Pokemon squared by the end of the morning in general, so that was easy enough for him.

"How's the spread coming, dear? We almost done? The kids are going to smell that soon and then they'll be clamoring for eats!" he called through the window.

At least the leaf piles had already been dealt with earlier in the day too, considering that this spread she was making took a while to get ready.

She’d been in the kitchen ever since after lunch time, and was hard at work trying to get everything ready for dinner later!

Man, how time really flew by.

“Well, I’m almost done! I just have to finish the pies and put everything in the ovens to bake!” she called out, still hearing the silly ‘Splash Battle’ clamor outside and biting her laughter down as hard as she could manage.

"Oof. Yeah I don't know if I can placate the kids forever when they smell that feast coming!" he called back to her. That wasn't going to be easy. But after a Magikarp had splashed itself high into the air, the kids were quite taken with this and started running around trying to catch it. Josh then had to grab them before they could fall into the lake when the Magikarp started falling towards that way. Sheesh, being a parent was hard work, wasn't it? Always keeping watchful vigil in case they might do Arceus knows what.

And then the smell hit. Soon enough, he had only put them down for a few seconds before they were bothering him about what was for dinner, and if it would be soon. When he said it was soon, they were satisfied with that... For now. As they headed back to trying to find where the Magikarp had landed.

“Well, keep them out there for another hour, an hour and a half at the most!” she called back, having slid all the pies and the stuffed meats into the many ovens in the kitchen.

Ah, the advantage of having a café—anything extra from the kitchen went to their place.

Shit, how long had it been? From a tiny little family roadside café here in Lavaridge, the family business had exponentially bloomed—and so had her little ‘broken’ family as well.

Meeting Josh was actually the catalyst that changed her perception on men, really.

There was also personal growth to be had there, at either rate.

"You're killing me here" he groaned as he tried to think of how in the world he was going to keep these duel hellspawn placated until then. Maybe a leaf pile or something? No, they'd already shuffled those and they'd blown away in the wind as it was. Shoulda collected them for use, but then the kids probably wouldn't be happy when the leaves shriveled up in the winter either. But what if...

Well, he didn't have to wonder for long. A familiar Red Gyarados would pop out of the lake and loose a roar at the intruding Magikarp, causing them to dive underwater. While this Gyarados wasn't cleared by the League for use on the field just yet, it had been moved onto the ranch along with the other Pokemon. What if...

"Hmm... What do you lot think of a ride on a Gyarados' back?" he inquired. It should be safe, and Amblin was there in case either of them fell. He found the Espurr nearby, shadowing the kids.

“Do you want to eat raw food, then?!” came the retort from the open window as she let out a huff.

“Because I know those seafood bowls are a thing but the kids shouldn’t be eating raw met this early! Let ‘em grow up a bit more first!” she added as she set the ovens to start baking the meats, the pies, and of course the oft-requested mac and cheese delight (because she had a feeling the kids were going to be picky eaters, at least for this evening).

A familiar roaring from outside caught her attention.

“Are you sure that’s safe for them to ride on?!” she added a few moments later. Hoo boy.

She was so dramatic, wasn't she? He stuck his tongue out at her in turn. "Yes, I'm sure. He's good with kids, you know that. Just because his face is scary doesn't mean he can't keep the kids busy. And besides, Amblin's here if they fall" he reasoned. So up they went. And that Gyarados ride definitely kept the kids enjoying themselves for awhile. Zack decided to yeet himself off to try and dive down, but Amblin caught him with telekinesis and placed him right back on.

Eventually, the food was done, and there was a feast to be had. And if the kids weren't already dead tired after all that time outside? Well, they sure as hell would be after that meal.
