Together With You

Food (2)

A disaster, a success, and something in between.

Circhester (Bob's Your Uncle), Galar

Hilda (waiting for her meal): Even though it's freezing, did you see the ice cream carts in the city centre? Not many people are gonna buy ice cream in cold weather. I mean, back home the Casteliacone Stall even closes during the winter.

Hilbert (also waiting for his meal): There were even 2 carts back there! Oh, that reminds me. I heard one of the cart owners asking to trade a Vanillish for his Throh, seems pretty suspicious to me...

Hilda (covering her ears): Nonono! I know what you're gonna say but I refuse to believe that the Casteliacones I love are actually Pokémon!

Hilbert (chuckling): Alright, alright, sorry! Anyway, our food is here.

Waiter (with 2 plates): Here we have a Sizzli-steak for Hilda, and a Scorch-burger for Hilbert. Enjoy your meals! If you need anything else, just give me a shout!

Hilbert and Hilda: Thanks!

Hilda (putting her hands together): Ooh this smells so good! Thanks for the food!

Hilbert (taking a bite of his burger, revealing a pickle): Ah I thought I said no pickles, I'll just take them out real quick.

Hilda: Hilbert, no! You're literally allergic to pickles!

Hilbert (taking out the pickles): Really don't worry, I'll be fine! At most, I'll just have a little bit of a stomach ache.

Hilda (calling over the waiter): Excuse me! He asked for no pickles.

Waiter: I'm so sorry! I'll replace that right away!

Hilbert: Thanks Hilda... But I'm sure I'll be fine...

Hilda: I'm taking no chances! I just want to make sure you'll be okay. Though I can't guarantee anything now since you already took a bite...

(Hilbert still got a little sick afterwards whoops...)

Hearthome City (Poffin House), Sinnoh

Hilbert: When you said that we needed more time to search Hearthome City, this is not what I had in mind...

Hilda: The Pokémon Fan Club Chairman gave us a Poffin Case, we couldn't possibly let his kindness go to waste!

Hilbert: But we don't even know how to make Poffins...

Hilda: That's why we're at the Poffin House! How you stir your batter will affect how they cook, and the berries you put in will affect their flavour!

Hilbert: Sounds pretty straight forward, let's give it a go!

Hilda (later looking at her foul Poffins): I-I don't know what happened...

Hilbert (looking at his rich, red Poffins): You can have some of mine, I think they look pretty decent.

Hilda (astonished): Decent?! They look perfect! Did you know that red coloured poffins are said to increase coolness?

Hilbert (picking up a Poffin): Is then so? Then I guess I should give it a try, haha!

Hilda: Wait but...

Hilbert (taking a bite): Mmm, it's a bit spicy.

Lady beside the Poffin-Making Machine: Excuse me sir, please refrain from eating the Poffins. They are for Pokémon only.

Hilbert (spitting the Poffin out): Hilda! You didn't tell me this was Pokémon food!

Hilda: Well I never said it was human food either!

Notes: I headcanon Hilda to be the "EXCUSE ME! He ask for no pickles." in the relationship. (Yes, I wrote that first half just to use this meme). Also, that Hilbert is a great chef.
