This Eevee was going to be the end of him. Tempest Quinn was a war criminal, but not only that, he was a scoundrel.

"Wait, Hati. Hang out for a minute." Howard said sweetly as he grabbed a pair of tongs and produced a coal from his Colossal's supply. It glowed cherry red. "A hot minute."

The coal disappeared into Hati's tail and a trail of smoke quickly followed. With an unceremonious throw, the admin sent the Eevee back to Temp's station where it could ruin someone else's life. Maybe Alba Evovae 's. That little shit was too successful in the kitchen. He had to be humbled, and quickly.

Strange. With the Illumina coloring of the Eevee alongside the fire... Howard narrowed his eye.

Arceus above.

It was glorious.

As for Unovan food...

"Hm... Hm...!" The admin tore into a loaf of bread and began chewing thoughtfully, a deja vu for Elaine Highland . Hopefully nobody bore any witness to Howard's secret technique: Bread Blast. "Unovan? Damn. Can I just run to Burger Kingler or something? That shit's processed enough to be Unovan."

While he tossed a few burgers and buns onto his Coalossal, the admin galivanted through Grubbinhub.

Fenelle ponders for a moment as the next region is revealed - an Unovan dish ... and, similiar to howard slayte, dee actually comes up with a good old classic. Burger. It meets the dough requirement dee has set for demself, so dee swiftly goes to work. Dee couldn't really actually let the dough rest for as long as it needed to, but they'd figure something out. With the help of Magnemite providing electricity and control over the kneading machine, the dough's quickly able to be put to rest so Fenelle could start with the ... boring part.

Patties are constructed, both vegetarian made of potato and normal made with beef and put to rest so dee could finish up the Brioche Buns. A time limit is always quite stressful, and it's even moreso when the limit doesn't actually take baking into consideration, but hey, dee's up for the challenge.

Porygon keeps translating the spoken words around dem to text, but gets distracted quite easily, transcribing some unnecessary chatter so that dee would leave it be for now. Dee would divert its focus later, but for now, Magnemite's warning nudges should be enough. The duo needs to put some more pep into their work, but eventually finish up.

A classic burger with an excellent bun and a decent enough layering in the middle. But the bun is truly good, or as good as it can get at the moment.

Whew, so far so good! There were some amazing meals on display here - El was half prepared to have a bite of them themself! But! They had to focus on the contest at hand first.

And for the next round, they wanted something Unovan! Ooh, they already had an idea - one thing they always thought about with Unova is Casteliacones! Partly cause of Isaac Merlo 's love for ice cream, 'course... Maybe one day, the two of them could go out to Unova to try the real deal.

But! Getting back on track, what better thing to pair with ice cream than a nice warm pie? Apple pie, in fact! With everyone doing something savory, they needed some sweet to spice it up.

So, as Bibidi worked on the ice cream, they'd work a bit on the pie - peeling and chopping up some apples. Hopefully, this would come out decently - they didn't tend to bake much, so this would be pretty new!

So, the monjayaki was not a success. Funny enough, the person who cooked okonomiyaki also hadn't done too well. Elaine was by no means superstitious, but she couldn't help wonder if that type of dish was cursed in this competition.

Thankfully, this was just the beginning. The contest had more rounds left, so she was hardly out of the running just yet. So, she decided that this time, it was best to go for something more dessert-like. With eggs, sugar, berries, cream cheese, and butter at her side, she rolled up her sleeves and got to the arduous task of baking.

As the cake set in the oven the second time, she made her triple berry sauce--a delectable topping she hoped would enhance the flavor of the dessert when it was ready. But it was at that moment that she noticed something.

"That man really likes throwing bread at things, huh..."

The familiar sight of the forbidden technique BREAD BLAST was not lost on her, but it was not like she could call the man on it. At least this time, the ammunition would be consumed by somebody. Hopefully.

But that didn't matter to her at that moment. After pulling out the slightly chilled cheesecake, she cut it into slices before pouring the Oran-Pecha-Sitrus sauce that she had painstakingly created. Perhaps, this one would be enough to light fireworks in the heart of any patriotic, red-blooded Unovan.

She could only hope.

Oscar and Unnamed Starmie returned to their cooking space with a new challenge: Create a signature Unovan dish. This would prove to be a struggle conceptually, as Oscar had only been to Unova once with skyler dross and they were promptly barred from entering the country again. It can not be too hard though, right? It was just burgers and fries or whatever.

Wait, no that will not do. Everyone would be trying to make burgers, just like the sushi! He had to choose something that would help him stand out, but what? While Oscar pondered intensely, the Starmie with no name had already gotten to work. It was very familiar with Unovan cuisine, having served as a head chef within Castelia City before coming into Oscar's service. That's right, the nameless Starmie has a history all its own. It does not need a name to have an identity!

Using its Psychic abilities, the Starmie Stranger began heating a pot of water and sizzling some bacon. Once the water was boiling, the obscure star would place four eggs into the pot and cover. It then gathered various vegetables, once again slicing them up with its Rapid Spin. As the starmie began slicing up the bacon and now hard boiled eggs, Oscar finally realized what was happening and paid attention.

He was a little aghast as the inconspicuous starmie gathered all of the ingredients in a bowl and began psychically mixing them together. Has it always been this talented? Did Oscar need to be here at all? As the mixing finished, Chef Starmie nudged the bowl toward Oscar. Oscar examined the dish carefully, observing that it seemed to be some sort of salad. It was not a salad he recognized though, seemed more like a chef specialty or something. A Chef Salad, if you would. That would have to do.

Oscar brought his dish before the judges and awaited their judgement.
