"Most of the jobs relate to cooking," Alice notes.

"That's precisely why I've chosen Fire Type as my specialty," Helen remarks. "They excel in culinary skills."

Curious, Flora inquires, "So, what type of curry are you planning to make for us?"

Helen smiles mischievously before producing... a can of beans? "The conventional curry roux paired with properly boiled beans creates a surprisingly simple yet delightful taste," Helen explains. "That's what I'll be preparing."

Not all of us are enthusiasts of beans, yet as Helen serves up five plates of curry, we find ourselves eagerly taking the first spoonful. Elena is the first to comment, "The robustly spicy notes of the curry roux combined with the innate sweetness of the beans create an enjoyable, contrasting flavor."

Gloria nods in agreement, adding, "The dryness of the curry roux and the subtle umami of the beans meld together to produce a simple yet enduring taste that keeps you coming back for more."

Flora muses, "This curry boasts a gentle sweetness, balanced by the straightforward essence of the added beans, resulting in a nuanced flavor profile."

Alice chimes in, "The piquancy of the curry roux effectively counteracts the beans' taste. Even those with an aversion to beans might relish this dish."

I contribute, "Absolutely. The pleasing texture of the beans paired with the tangy curry roux complement each other beautifully, creating a harmonious blend. I never imagined beans could elevate the curry to such heights."

With a confident smile, Helen asserts, "You can always rely on my culinary skills."

While capturing Fire-type Pokémon for Gloria's Poke Job services, our Chewtle undergoes a transformation, evolving into Drednaw and gaining the Rock Type. Along with its evolution, Drednaw learns Rock Tomb, a move that decreases the opponent's speed during battles.
