" where are you going. The diner is this way. " Giovanni said while pointing in the opposite direction.

" I was going to the forest to get some berries. Isn't that what your supposed to eat. If so then you get them from the forest. Duuuh. "The girl answered back with certainty.

" No usually I eat three square meals a day. Now follow me and let's go get some real food. "

" Hmp I knew that. Come on. Your soooo slow and I'm soooo hungry. "Ash says while somersaulting ahead of him.

In amazement he asks " how do you do that. I know some athletic people but when you do those sort of things it just looks so natural."

" what this? This is easy. I grew up in the forest and had to do and learn things ten times harder than this. " she explained while walking on her hands.

" hmm interesting and what do your parents think about that."
"That is none of your concern. Now why don't we go inside and get some food in our stomachs. " the girl says coldly.

Asking for a table for two they are seated at a booth and given menus. Ash looks at the menu with confusion.

"What is this. You can't eat this. I thought there was going to be food here. This is the WORST. " Ash exaggerates, shaking off her earlier iciness.

"You read it. Don't you know how to read. Here, I'll help you. Do you want pancakes or eggs or French toast? " Giovanni asked while flipping the menu over the correct way.

" Reading is not necessary when you are searching for your next meal instead of ordering it. I'll have . . .
             EVERYTHING !" Ash says jumping up and down in excitement.

     Usually someone would be upset about the amount the young girl was eating and the cost it would come to. Although Giovanni isn't just anybody. Not only is he the strongest gym leader but also he runs a secret organization called Team Rocket. There main goal is to use Pokemon to take over the world or to generate profit. (Shhh don't tell anyone. It's a secret). 
       This makes Giovanni quite rich. Letting him not have to worry about money but was still amazed of the amount that small girl was going to eat.  He has heard that some teenagers were on diets because the worried about their weight, but nooooo not this girl. When her food was given to her she turned into a vacuum. At one point she ate a piece of French toast in one bite. Her cheeks were constantly full making her look like a chipmunk getting ready for winter. But every once in a while she would stop and swallow the food in her mouth with a content smile on her face while kicking her feet in enjoyment.

    While Giovanni remained silently watching the ravenous teen eat her food like she had been starved. At the same time pikachu sat munching on a pancake and once completed the little Pokemon would take out a small fishing pole and use it to fish another piece out from the waterfall of food flowing into its masters mouth.

      Interrupting their comfortable silence, a male waiter who was probably in his early twenties comes up to the table.

       "Would you like anything anything other than water to drink." The waiter asked Ash, pointedly ignoring Giovanni. (The waiter could tell by how ash ate the food so cutely that she was a girl.)

     Stopping Ash in her tracks and looking up at the man with a sparkle in her eye. " there's something other than water to drink? Like what?" She asked cutely.

    "Well, there is juice, soda, coffee and le-." 
    " Do you have anything sweet." She interrupts, to impatient like a child to wait for all the choices.

    "Why yes. I think I know exactly what you would like. And it's on the house." He says while winking.

     At this point Giovanni was completely and utterly irritated with the man flirting so obviously with Ash and he had no idea why. Without thought, he reaches towards Ash with his hand wiping a piece of syrupy pancake off of Ash's cheek. Bringing it to his mouth while glaring at the waiter.

      "That won't be necessary. I am completely capable of paying for her meal."  Just to give him no other chance of getting close to Ash he adds "We don't need your pity."

     Ash's head snaps toward the man and her eyes slowly narrow menacingly
     " Thank you but your not needed here anymore until you bring me my sweets. So shoo. Bue-bye." Turning away from the man and back to her food, now purposefully ignoring the waiter.

      Knowing he was no longer wanted. He walked away mumbling dirty word that are not worth repeating. 

      Giovanni's mind was moving 102mph. Why did he do that. It's not like it mattered to him what happened to this girl. Sure she was quite entertaining and had quite a few cute moments making him look forward to more. But it's just because she is so innocent, making anybody want to protect her from people who would want to take advantage of her( like the waiter). Right??

       "Soo why do you want to earn gym badges." He asks, shaking off his earlier thoughts.

     " I'm going to defeat the elite four to become the very best!" She answers casually.

     The straightforwardness and certainty of her statement amazed him. Usually kids who went adventuring were either super bored or are forced to by there mom telling them to get out more. But Ash knew what she wanted and was heading straight for it. Not letting anyone get in her way and he admired her for it.

       " why do you want to be the best." Now truly curious.

   "  To be honest I don't like talking about it but since I like your Pokemon so much I'll tell you. When I was younger there were people who I loved dearly and since I was weak I wasn't able to protect them. That's when I started living in the forest and met my best bud over here. " Ash says while patting the still content pikachu eating another pancake.

       " oh yeah.  How did meeting my Pokemon make you change your mind about me. ".
    " I can talk to Pokemon. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't know how I just can.  So don't ask. " she answers matter-of-factly.

     " WAIT! What did they say about me!?" Giovanni answers back frantically. (Worried about the Team Rocket thing).

      " They basically said that your a shut in and you don't care about anybody ... Yet. "  she says nonchalantly trying to contain her giggles.

     "Well they are wrong. So don't believe them. I am a very rich and successful man. Now let's go. I've Got the impression you don't know the most about adventuring. " he says while frowning being slightly flustered.

     Drinking the last of the sweet chocolate concoction that the waiter had silently slipped her while they were talking. Along with a ripped piece of paper with a phone number on it. Before Ash notices Giovanni tears the paper into many small pieces.  He leaves a bundle of cash and they leave.

     Before exiting the building the rather innocent girl makes a mature statement. " being rich and successful doesn't make someone truly happy. Does it?"  She asks in a knowing manner before once again walking ahead of the more experienced and powerful man like a walk in the park.  Changing many people with every step she takes, whether she knows it or not.
