026 [Video/Action for Cherrygrove PokéCenter]

[soggypastry]

[Hi, Johto. Hve you been enjoying your...odd weekend? Hopefully so, because it's about to get weirder. Enjoy your view of Lightning hunched over a stove in the Cherrygrove Pokémon Center, stirring something in a pot. It's an odd sight, both with her hair twisted up into a messy bun and the fact that she's...actually cooking. Anyone who knows her knows that's not a good sign. Especially when she's starting to look a little bit frazzled.]

No, no, no...come on. Don't you dare burn.

[Yes, she's talking to her pot of...something. Unfortunately, this doesn't help her with the cooking and it's with a rather frustrated sound that she takes that pot off the stove, camera tracking her movements while she places it in the sink before scrubbing her face, leaving smears of chocolate down her cheeks as she takes a breath to regain her composure. Is she giving up? Not on your life.

She's just turning back to the counter, where there's enough ingredients for one more try along with a recipe book she's looking back at.]

You could always help, you know.

[A startled "Pika!" and...end feed. Spark still enjoys being Camera-chu, it seems.]

Are you certain a Pikachu helper would be such a good idea? Their reach is rather short.

[...Just ignore the dancing, Lightning. It's for your own good.]

[Leon doesn't know what it is, but he's in an uncommonly good mood today. So what if he and his girl have been stewing on an argument for two weeks? He bought her a valentines day gift, he has every intention of cuddling her and telling her how incredible she is, because goodness knows he doesn't say it enough--

--he pauses in the center kitchen door, slightly alarmed by the scent of burning. As he suspected, he finds Lightning there, unhappily glowering at a pot of...something in the sink.]

Is that...chocolate?

[Ven just finished collecting some supplies himself when he sees this broadcast. Aw Pinksis, he can tell you're trying hard]

Chocolate's pretty tough to get right, at least for me. Maybe we could both tackle it?

[ And from the peanut gallery: ]

It's okay. Chocolate's tough.

_{[Oh hey, remember this guy? He appears on the feed with a mild, sunny smile, looking pretty interested in what she's doing.]}

I'd give you some advice but I only really know my way around baking bread.

[ Fang's just followed her nose; if she's surprised to see Lightning, she doesn't show it except in a single raised eyebrow as she takes in the state of the sink and her friend. ]

Making chocolate?

[Hope walks into the room. He'd been training with Absol and Hoppip all morning but it was time to come back in and see what the family was doing.

What was that smell? ... Was that Lightning? Cooking? ... Oh divine Etro, save us all.]

Light?

[... What was she making? The smell of burnt sugar was lingering now. Mmmm sweets!]

Need a hand?

I doubt a Pokemon would be able to help in cooking...

[A thoughtful pause. Everyone seems to be in such good spirits and it looked like a holiday was coming, but Aqua's got no time for romance and lovey-dovey things.

...Even if normally she loves chocolate.]

What kind of recipe are you using?

Oh, are you making chocolate?
