PMDU Everybody-Cactus Fields Tasks-General Task 1

Mark, Checker, Brace, Razor, Veil, and Zepher all stood in front of the giant-cactus building. "So, we're gonna be cooking for some kind of barbecue?" Veil asked. "Yup. It seems so." Mark said, yawning. "Alright. I'm not very good at cooking, but I'll do my best." Checker said.

"Hey guys, what's up?" A voice said behind them. Everyone turned around in surprise, and saw Bishop and King, a Treeko and Froakie, wearing a black hood and a black makeshift-headband out of a scarf respectively. "Huh? How come you guys are here?" Brace asked. "Oh, we became an official team. *yawn* Morning." Bishop said, yawning. "Dude, it's like 5. You slept in way too late." Veil said. "Whatever. Let's cook some foods." Bishop said groggily as he and King walked into the cactus-shaped building. "Alright, let's go, I guess." Mark said as he walked into the building.

The ActRaiser Syndicate and the Strike Team walked into the building. On the inside, the teams found themselves in a large pub, with a long counter in the back. Their were tables all around the place with chairs around them. The pub was very dimly-lit, with only dim gas lamps hanging on the walls, making it hard to make out anything more then basic shapes. The group could sense a mon behind the counter, but couldn't tell what kind. "Hey there! Are you guys here to cook for the barbecue?" A voice said from behind the counter, in a somewhat-deep, red-neck-like voice.  "Yeah, but we can't see." Brace said. "Oh, sorry about that. But it's almost night time, and going from a low-light environment to a high-light environment isn't good on the eyes. The kitchen has more light." The voice said. "Alright, but how do we get to the kitchen?" Mark asked. "Uhhhhh... Oh, I've got an idea! Follow the bell." The voice said. The group could hear scampering from behind the counter to the right of the counter. Then, a cowbell was hit to the right of the counter. The group then ran towards the cowbell sound, hopping over all of the tables and chairs in the way, and when they got their, Brace hit his head on the ceiling, falling over, making everyone tumble into the wall in front of them, which ended up being metal double-doors, knocking everyone over except Zepher, through the doors.

As they fell through the group, they found themselves in a big, restaurant-style kitchen with metal counters and wooden shelves above the counters along the walls and in the center of the room, with spices and cooking tools and all that kind of stuff hanging from the counters. The room was still fairly dimly-lit, the room being lit only by a moderately-bright gas lamp in the middle of the room being hung from the ceiling. Their were 4 mons already in the kitchen, a Lucario, a Rotom, and 2 Riolus, presumably siblings. They were laughing at the pile of mons who had tumbled through the door. Then, a Miltank wearing overalls walks into the kitchen, chuckling. "Alright boys, get up." The Miltank said. The group all got up. The Miltank looks to the group, smiling. "Wow, we've got ourselves alot of bodies working to cook for the barbecue! The reward must be great." The Miltank said. He then laughs. "Well, good luck. I'll be outside at the counter if you guys need anything." The Miltank said. He then walked out of the kitchen.

Mark looked to everyone else in the ActRaiser Syndicate, and they looked to him. "Alright, you guys know what to do, right?" Mark asked. Everyone nodded. "Alright then, everyone, move out!" Mark said. Checker then tied her scarf around her head like a bandanna. She and Veil then moved to the side, out of everyone's way, and then Zepher paired up with Mark, and Brace paired up with Razor. Bishop and King looked to each other, and nodded. King took off his headband, and tied it around his neck like a bowtie, and hopped to the side next to Checker and Veil.

Mark walked up to the Riolus, asked them where the pantry was. The Riolus pointed to a door in the back of the kitchen, which Mark saw Razor walk out of, holding garlic, flour, meatroot, and ginger. Razor put all of those ingredients on one of the counters next to a stove, while Brace got him a pot. Mark shook his head, and walked into the pantry. After a while, Mark came out of the pantry, holding a big hunk of meatroot, and bringing it to a counter on the other side of the kitchen, opposite from the counter that Razor is at. "{Mark, what are you making exactly?}" Zepher asks Mark telepathically. Mark had found a meat cleaver in the counter they were at. "I don't really know what I want to make, so I'm just making the meatroot skewers that they suggested." Mark said.

Brace looked at all of the stuff that Razor had brought, and tilted his head, confused. "Razor, what are you gonna be cooking?" Brace asked. Razor put down all off his ingredients, and got himself a cutting board from under the counter. "I'll be making Meatroot Karaage. I would normally be making this out of some bird-mon's meat, but I couldn't find any, so I'll just use this." Razor said, pointing to the meatroot. He then started feeling the meatroot, and it felt tough, like beef. Razor looked to Mark. "Hey Mark, can I borrow your bone club? I need to tenderize some meat." Razor said. "Sure." Mark said, as he threw his bone club to Mark, and Razor caught it. Razor then started pounding the meatroot with the bone club.

Meanwhile, Bishop had just cut up some meatroot into patties, and was already putting them on a grill. King hopped over to Bishop, and looked over at what Bishop was doing. "Bishop, are you  making burgers?" King asked. "Yup." Bishop said, looking for a spatula. "Uhhh... Why?" King asked. "Because this is a barbecue. Beer foods always work well in a barbecue. Plus, burgers taste great with beer." Bishop said. "Oh... Okay. Ya need help?" King asked. "No, not really. I got this." Bishop said. He then found a spatula. He looked over his counter, which he hadn't payed much attention to it. Their was a grill to his left, a bare metal counter in front of him with a dirty cutting board, and to his left was a deep-frier, with two vats to put oil in. "I gotta go find some oil, and potatoes. Later." Bishop said as he walked to the pantry, and King hopped back to Checker and Veil.

Mark then grabbed onto the cleaver. "I'll be going to get some skewers. Zepher, can you cut the meatroot into chunks for me?" Mark asked. "{Yeah, sure.}" Zepher says to Mark telepathically. Mark then walks out of the building. Zepher held the meat up telepathically, and his eyes glowed blue. An aura then physically formed around the meat, and then the aura made lots of loud, slicing noises, catching everyone's attention. Zepher's eyes then stopped glowing, and put down the meatroot, and it falls apart into large, square chunks. "Woah, that was crazy." The Lucario said, after witnessing Zepher's display. Veil chuckled to herself when she heard the Lucario say that. Mark then walked in, holding a large number of giant thorns. He saw the chunks that Zepher had cut the meat into. "Good job, Zepher. I think I got it from here." Mark said. He then got to sticking the chunks of meat onto the thorns.

Back to Razor, he had finished pounding the meatroot, and put the bone club to the side. He then took out a pan, and minced up the ginger and garlic with his claws. He took out a bottle of say sauce from his bag, and poured some of it into the pan. Then, Razor sprinkled the garlic and ginger into the soy sauce, and put the marinade onto the grill to heat up. Razor then got to the big meatroot, and started scooping out chunks with his claws. When he finally finished scooping out the chunks into nicely-sized pieces, the marinade had been cooked well, so that the flavor of the ginger and the garlic had soaked into the marinade. Razor then put those chinks into the mixture. At that moment, Razor just realized that he forget to get the oil to deep-fry the meatroot. "Brace, can you go get me some oil?" Razor asked. "Oh yeah, sure." Brace said. Brace then went into the pantry, while Razor then watched over the meat, waiting for the meat to soak in the marinade. Brace then quickly came back. "I got this!" Brace said, tossing the bottle to Razor, and Razor caught it. Razor looked at the oil, and it was peanut oil. Razor sighed, and quickly emptied the bottle into the pot. Razor quickly pulled the chunks of meat out of the marinade, quickly opened the bag of flour, stuffed the pieces of meatroot into the flour bag, and quickly taking them out, breading them, and them put them into the pot. He then turned on the burner which the pot was on top of. Razor sighed, as he finished all of that. He then went back to the pantry, and grabbed more meatroot. "Ugh, god, I'm gonna need to be cooking alot of this." Razor said

Veil yawned. "Guys! This is boooooring. When can we do stuff?" Veil asked. "When someone finishes cooking something." Mark said, putting the meatroot skewers into a nearby oven. Checker had fallen asleep, and King was staring at the light of lantern in the middle of the room, bored out his mind as well. "Ugh, fine." Veil said. "Hey little lady, I just finished cooking. Wanna try what I got?" The Lucario said. Veil looked over to the Lucario, who was smiling over to Veil, holding out a plate of Charti Berry bombs. "Ooh, yes please!" Veil said, quickly getting up and scampering to the Lucario. The Lucario put the plate on the ground in front of Veil. "Try some." The Lucario said before he went back to cooking more. "Sure!" Veil said. She grabbed one of them with her mouth, threw it straight up in the air, and caught it in her mouth. "Hey, this is pretty good." Veil said, chewing the deep-fried bomb. Her eyes then bug-eyed, and she breathed fire right after swallowing it. "Oh my good, that was spicy!" Veil said, coughing. The Lucario chuckled. "Well, we'll just see how the customers like it." The Lucario said.

Bishop meanwhile, had finished grilling the patties, and took them off, and put them onto a baking sheet which King had put on the counter next to him. He then ran to the pantry. King then got up, and hopped over to the patties. "Wow, they don't look half bad, for not being made of meat." King said. Bishop then came back, holding a bottle of ketchup, mayo, relish, mustard, tamato berries, and a ton of burger buns, and laid them out on the counter. Bishop then squirted relish on the bottom buns, and the ketchup, mustard, and mayo on the top buns. Bishop had made about a dozen burgers patties, and flipped them onto the burger buns.he then chopped up the tamato berries into slices, and put them on the burgers. He then put the burgers together. "There! I got a batch out." Bishop said. He then stretched his back. "Well, Their will probably be some more mons who are coming, so I'll be going to grab some more meatroot." Bishop said.

Mark then took the skewers out of the oven. "There. I finished that." Mark said as he put the pan if skewers onto the counter, and seasoned them with salt and pepper. He then stood back, and looked at his cooking. "Dosen't look half bad." Mark said. "I heard salt and pepper. Just the fact that you'd thought you'd need salt sounds bad." Razor said, jokingly, pulling off more chunks of meatroot. "Gotta agree with him." Bishop said, making patties. Mark groaned. "Whatever. I'm not a great cook." Mark said. The Lucario and male Riolu were chuckling too, both of them cooking their own thing.

Mark then put his skewers on a pan, and put them on the center counter. "Alright guys. Since we all finished a batch of what we're cooking, lets all try them!" Mark said. Everyone looked to Mark. "Sure." Razor said. He took all of his chicken karaage out of his pot, onto a plate that Brace had brought, and put some of it onto a smaller plate that Brace had also brought, and Razor then brought the smaller plate to the center counter. Bishop then brought a couple burgers on a plate too, and brought it to the center counter. Checker, Zepher, Veil, and King then walked over to center counter. Mark looked to the Lucario, Rotom, and the two Riolus. "Want to join in?" Mark asked. "Okay!" The female Riolu said cheerily, skipping towards them. "Err, I'll keep cooking then, Violet." The male Riolu said to the female Riolu. "Alright, see ya, Torak!" Violet said to the male Riolu. The Rotom looks to the Lucario. "Hey, wanna go hang with 'em? I can handle this." The Rotom said. "Sure. Thanks!" The Lucario said, walking to the center counter, holding a plate of charti bombs.

"Yeah! Let's try some food!" Veil said. "Yay!" Violet said. Everybody at the center counter all tried each other's food. "Mmmm, this chicken-tasting thing is really good!" Violet said, eating Razor's meatroot karaage. "Thanks." Razor said. "Wow, these charti bombs are great! Although they're a bit spicy." Razor said. "Heh heh heh, I knew it." The Lucario said, happily. Veil grumbled a bit. "Little green guy, your burgers ain't half bad!" The Lucario said. "Thanks. Your berry bombs ain't bad as well." Bishop said. "Thanks." The Lucario said. 

Soon, they had finished all of the food from everyone's first batch. "Ah, that was good!" Checker said. "It sure was!" Violet said. Mark then stretched his back. "Well, let's all get back to work." Mark said. Everyone then all got back to their section of the kitchen.

20 minutes later, the Miltank ran into the kitchen. "Hey! We've got customers! Servers, go!" The Miltank said before running out of the kitchen. Veil got up, and woke up Checker and King. "Now, let's go!" Veil said. Checker and King groggily nodded. Veil then leaped through the door, Checker and King lumbered, and Violet simply skipped through the door. When Veil leaped through the door, she saw lots of different mons sitting at all of the tables. "Wow, that's alot of mons. Let's do this." Veil said, determined.

Checker lumbered over to one off the tables. "Hello. My name is Checker, and I will be your waiter for today. Here are your menus for today." Checker said, sounding tired, and her eyes nearly closed. At the table, their was a large shiny Nidorino, and a Charamander sitting at the table. "Huh? What menu?" The Nidorino asked. "Oh yes, I'm sorry. I don't know if we have menus, so I will tell you what we have today. We have barbecue-style burgers, meatroot karaage with the same texture and taste of real chicken karaage, meatroot kabobs, and charti berry bombs. For refreshments, we have Salac Juice, which you can request to be mixed with whatever alchohol you choose." Checker said, half-asleep, and sounding monotone. "Miss, are you okay?" The Charamander asked Checker. Checker shook her head. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was sleeping earlier, and I just woke up. I think I'll be better now. So, what would you like?" Checker asked. "Hmm... We'll take the burgers." The Nidorino said. "Okay. Coming right up!" Checker said.

King walked up to a different table, less tired then Checker, but still tired. "Hello, my name is King, and I will be your waiter for today. Here is your menu." King said. He had the good judgement to grab some menus which the Miltank had made, and put one on the table. King had only then noticed that Hikou was sitting at the table. King then shook his head. "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought I mistook you for-" King said as he rubbed his eyes, and Hikou was still there. "Hello, King." Hikou said. "What in the world are you doing here?" King asked. "I just have a delivery for someone in Geoda. I have Sundance's permission, and if I am called back to Andalusst for security reasons, I'll go back to Andalusst and pass the delivery onto Rose." Hikou said. "Alright. I must say, your English has gotten much better." King said. "Thank you." Hikou said. Hikou looked over the menu, and then quickly put it down, as if he immediately knew what he wanted. "I want to meatroot karaage. I've missed Iaponese food." Hikou said. "Alrighty then." King said.

Veil walked up to another table, and their was a Zangoose and Seviper sitting at the table. They were both missing an eye each, the Zangoose was missing his left arm, and the Seviper was missing the blade on the end of her tail. "Hello, my name is Veil, and I will be your waiter for the day! Here is your menu." Veil said. She had the good judgement to grab some menus too , and handed it to them. The Zangoose grabbed it through a dark manifestation of his missing arm, and they both looked at the menu. "Umm, I must ask, but what happened to you two?" Veil asked. "Don't ask. It was a personal matter." The Zangoose said. "Oh... okay. Well, I'll be back soon to take your order. Later." Veil asked.

Checker, King, and Veil then ran over to the kitchen, and told the cooks the orders. They then walked out, waiting for more customers. "You know, the atmosphere here is a little off. I bet that we could do something to make it a bit more lively around here." Veil said. "Okay. But what could we do?" Checker asked. They all thought for a little while, before Veil lit up. "I know! Checker, you play your ocarina well, right?" Veil asked. "Yes. I've been practicing alot, so I'd say I'm pretty good." Checker said. "That should do! King, can you play an instrument?" Veil asked. "I can play the violin, but I don't have one on me." King said. "Alright, I'll go check with that Miltank guy to see if he has any spare violins." Veil said. She then ran off. King then looked to Checker. "You can play the ocarina?" King asked. "Yep! I got one about half a year ago from a task, and it's great!" Checker said. Veil then came back holding a violin and bow in her mouth. "Got it!" Veil said after putting them down. "Wow, that was fast." King said. "Yup! As soon as I said violin, he just pulled one out from behind the counter." Veil said. "Alright then." King said.

Soon, Veil had situated King and Checker to the corner of the room. "Alright, you guys are in a good position! Now for the song..." Veil said. "Food's ready!" Mark shouted out from the kitchen. "Alright! Coming!" Veil said. She looked back to King and Checker. "Uhh, you two think of a song together. I'll back to see how you guys do." Veil said. She then ran to the kitchen. Checker and King looked at each other. "Ummm, Lon lon ranch?" Checker asked. "Sounds good. It's an easy song." King said. "Now, get ready." King said. Checker took out her ocarina from her scarf, and held it in her mouth. King put the violin to his chin. "Ready? Well, one, two, three." King said. They both then started playing the lon lon ranch theme, King emulating the guitar part with his violin, and Checker playing the flute, and they were both playing in perfect rhythm.

Veil brought the burgers to the table with the shiny Nidorino and the Charamander. "Here you are. Hope you enjoy your meal!" Veil said. They were just staring at Veil. "Huh? What's up?" Veil asked. "Wow, you must have a strong neck." The Nidorino said. Veil was balancing the waiter platter on top of her head. "Yup. Thank you." Veil said. The Nidorino and Charamander shake their heads. "Anyways, thanks. Nice music, by the way." The Nidorino said. "Thanks! I'm the one who thought of it." Veil said. "I see." The Nidorino said. "Well, see ya later! Call me when you finish!" Veil said. "Bye!" The Charamander said. Veil then ran off to the next table.

Veil went to the table which Hikou was sitting at. "Here you go. Hope you enjoy your meal!" Veil said. Hikou was wearing a hood on. "Thank you." Hikou said, nodding. Veil then put the bowl of meatroot karnage on the table, and a separate bowl with rice in it. "Well, I'll see you later! Call for me when you finish, and I'll get you the bill!" Veil said. He nodded again, and Veil walked to the last table. Hikou took out a pair of chopsticks, grabbed some of the meatroot karaage, and took a bite, and he seemed like he was innocently enjoying himself, even with his hood on over his eyes.

Veil went back to the table with the one-eyed Seviper and Zangoose. "So, have you two decided what you would like yet?" Veil asked. "Yes. We'd like an order of the Charti bombs, some salad juice, and some meatroot kebabs." The Zangoose said. "Alright. I'll let the cooks know. I'll be back soon!" Veil said. She then ran back into the kitchen. 

After giving them the orders, more customers had came, but first, she walked over to King and Checker, who were now playing the Mario 2 overworld theme, Checker on melody, and King on harmony. "Wow, you guys have been playing well!" Checker said. "Thanks. Although it's kinda hard to find good songs to play without a percussionist." King said, still playing. "Alright. I don't think that there's anything to do about that." Veil said. "Well, see ya guys later." Veil said. "Bye." King said.

Veil then walked up to a new table, and sitting their was a different Seviper and Zangoose. "Hello! My name is Veil, and- wait, you two look familiar." Veil said. The Zangoose then looked at Veil, jumped in surprise, and then looked at Veil and then back to the Seviper in a panic. "What is it, Zane?" The Seviper asked. Zane then whispered to the Seviper for a bit. "Huh? I've never seen her? Have you?" The Seviper asked. "Oh, uhhhhh, okay. If you say so, Snape." Zane said. Snape quickly gave Zane a wink. "Okay... Well anyways, I'll be your waiter for today. Here's your menus." Veil said as she put some a menu on the table. "Thank you." Zane says, smiling nervously. "Well, call for me when you figure out what you want, alright?" Veil said. "Yes, thank you." Snape said. "Alright then. See ya later." Veil said, and she left. "Yeah, I think I have seen her before. Don't know where, but I've seen her before." Snape said.

Veil walked over to another table, and at that table was a Haunter and a Treeko, the Treeko wearing a white coat. "Hello, my name is Veil, and I'll be your waiter today!" Veil said. The Haunter looked up at Veil. "Huh? We've already been given menus by another waiter." The Haunter said. "Huh? By who?" Veil asked. They then pointed to Violet, who was talking to a table with a Pansear, Panpour, and Pansage. "Oh, uhhhh, okay. Bye then!" Veil said, her running to the next table. 

Before Veil could get to the next table, the Nidorino from the first table shouted out to  Veil. Veil then quickly grabbed the bill from the counter, which the Miltank had made, and brought it over to the table. "Here's the bill!" Veil said, the bill and tiny clipboard-thing in her mouth, setting them down on the table. The Nidorino picks up the bill, and looks over it. "We don't really carry things to barter with, so a star coin will work, right?" The Nidorino asked. "I guess. I've lived in Andalusst for 2 years, and I'm still not sure how currency in Parai works." Veil said. "Alright then." The Nidorino said, putting a star coin on the bill, and getting up. "Thank you for coming! Hope to work with you later!" Veil said. "You too!" The Charamander said, smiling. They then walked out of the bar.

As the Nidorino and Charamander left, a Lopunny and a Diggersby in a chef outfit walked into the bar. Veil was confused, so she walked over to the Miltank. "Hey, Miltank guy, who are they?" Veil asked. The Miltank looked over to Veil. "Oh, those are our normal chefs. The barbecue is finished now, and the rest of the mons who are coming in are bar patrons. Just finish serving the mons who you already started serving, and you can leave." The Miltank said. "Oh, okay. I'll do that then. See ya." Veil said. She then went to the next table.

Veil then walked to a table with a Zigzagoon with a scar over her eye, Wurmple, Squirtle wearing a leather hat and gloves, and a Bulbasaur wearing a pink hat. "Hello! My name is Veil, and I will be your server for today!" Veil says. The Squirtle looks to Veil, while the rest of them ignore her. "Hey there. Not to be rude, but we were just given menus by that Riolu over there." The Squirtle said, pointing to Violet, who was giving a bill to another mon. "Oh okay. Goodness, this was the second time today." Veil said. "Sorry about that." The Squirtle said. "Alright. Well, bye." Veil said, walking away.

Veil was looking around. "Let's see... Who do I have left to serve..." Veil said, looking around. Most of the mons she didn't even recognize the species. She saw a Mudkip and a Ralts sitting at one of the tables, being served by Violet. They seemed a bit more... blocky then all of the other mons. "Wow, they look odd. Almost like they were made of pixel art." Veil said. "Veil! We've got an order ready!" Mark yelled from the kitchen. Veil walked over to the kitchen, got the order, and ran over to the table, the platter balancing on her head.

Veil went back to the table with the one-eyed Zangoose and Seviper. "Sorry for taking so long!" Veil said. "Oh no, it's fine!" The Seviper said. Veil sets down charti bombs, meatroot kebabs, and salac juice. "Well, enjoy! Call me when you want the bill!" Veil said. "Alright then. Thank you." The Zangoose said. Veil then walked away.

Veil then walked back to the table with Zane and Snape. "Are you guys ready to order yet?" Veil asked. Zane jumped in surprise again, while Snape looked to Veil calmly. "Yes, we are ready. I'll get the meatroot karaage, and Zane, what will you get?" Snape says. "Uhhh, just a burger will be fine." Zane says. "Alright, I'll get those for you two. Later." Veil said, walking away. "Wow, Zane, you sure are nervous around her." Snape said. "She scares me! All Eevees scare me!" Zane said. "Man, you aren't a very good gangster." Snape said.

Before Veil could relay the order to the kitchen, Hikou called out to Veil, calling for the bill. Veil quickly grabbed the bill off of the front counter, and ran over to Hikou. Veil put the bill with the tiny clipboard on the table. "Here you are, little hooded guy!" Veil said, still unaware of Hikou's identity. He nodded, and put a star on the clipboard thing. Veil looked to the coin, and tilted her head. "Umm, a whole star coin may be a bit too much." Veil said. Hikou shook his head. "Well, alright then." Veil said. He then proceeded to get up and leave. "Good bye! Hope to see you another time!" Veil said, picking up the two bowls in her mouth.

After returning the bowls to the kitchen, and telling them the order, Veil walked out of the kitchen. "Well, dosen't seem that anyone is calling for me. Not surprising, since I only have a few mons to go." Veil said. Suddenly, Veil hears a glass break. "Hey, what the hell, man!" A deep voice called out. Veil looked in that direction, and saw the Kirlia with the Honedge on his back, a large Haxorus, and a broken beer mug on the ground, with beer on the ground. "I apologize for the spill." The Kirlia said. "An apology isn't enough! That was some expensive grog you made me spill!" the Haxorus yelled. He then stepped back. "Get ready to feel the hurt, asshole!" The Haxorus yelled. The Kirlia took out his Honedge, and held it out like a two-handed sword. "I do not wish to fight, but I will not pull my punches." the Kirlia said. The Haxorus ran at the Kirlia, swinging his head around, trying to hit the Kirlia with his tusk-axes. The Kirlia skillfully blocked each swing with his Honedge. A lot of mons then started to crowd around the fight, and Checker and King switched to playing Spider Dance on their instruments, Checker and King both alternating harmony and melody at certain parts of the song, and a random Scrafty stood next to them and started beatboxing. The Haxorus and Kirlia kept on clashing their blades, both seeming evenly matched. Then the Kirlia slashed the Haxorus' axe tusk hard, and slashes the Haxorus in the chest, making the Haxorus get pushed back a bit. The Haxorus got angry, and charged at the Kirlia.

Veil sighed, and walked in between them. "Alright you two, break it up." Veil said. The Haxorus was still charging, as he was pushed back alot. "Mind your own business, little girl! Get out of the way!" The Haxorus yelled. Veil looked at the Haxorus disbeleivingly, and then took out her rocket launcher from her hat. "What did you say?" Veil asked, raising an eyebrow. He kept running. Just as the Haxorus would have struck Veil, she blocked him with his rocket launcher, and swung it across his face, knocking him down to the side. "Now stop." Veil said. The Haxorus got up, rubbing his cheek. "Alright, alright. Sorry." The Haxorus said, walking away. Veil put away her rocket launcher into her hat, and turned to the Kirlia. "Man, bars sometimes are crazy, am I right?" Veil said. The Kirlia nodded. "Yes, I agree. Thank you for the save back there. I didn't want to hurt that Haxorus, but I had to do what I had to do." The Kirlia said. "No problem. Say, what's your name?" Veil asked. "I am Blazer, and this here is Soul Blader." The Kirlia said, showing off his Honedge. "Alright my name is-" Veil said, before being called out. "Oh, I gotta go. Hope to see ya another time!" Veil said, running to the table that called to her. "Alright, see you later." Blazer said. "Master, was she... flirting with you?" Soul Blader asked. "I do not know. Maybe?" Blazer said. "You should not stray from your mission." Soul Blader said. "Don't worry, I won't be distracted by things like that. I know what I'm doing." Blazer said, him leaving the bar with Soul Bader on his back.

Veil ran to the kitchen, and grabbed the meatroot karaage, the bowl of rice, and the burger, and brought it to Zane and Snape. "Here you two go!" Veil said, putting the meals onto the table. Zane stared at her in fear. "How are you even able to carry that on your head?" Zane asked. "It's not hard." Veil said. "Well it's very impressive." Snape said. "Thank you." Veil said. Someone else then called out to Veil. "Oh, no time to chat, gotta go! Call me when you finish!" Veil said, running off. "I still don't understand why you're scared of her." Snape said. "Their always so strong! They look cute at first, but can become something so powerful that not even we should mess with!" Zane said. "Lame." Snape said.

Veil quickly grabbed the bill from the counter, and walked over to the table with the Zangoose and Seviper missing an eye. "Here is your bill!" Veil said. The Zangoose looked to Veil. "Thank you." The Zangoose said. He looked at the bill, and looked confused. "Uhh, we don't have eggs." The Zangoose said. Veil shrugged. "I don't really know. I think that 1 star should do." Veil said. The Zangoose nodded, and put 1 star coin on the little clipboard-thing. "Alright! Thank you for coming, and hope to work with you in the future!" Veil said. The Zangoose nodded as he and his partner got up and left. Veil picked up the plate and clipboard thing, and put them away.

Just as Veil brought the bowl back to the kitchen, Mark, Brace, Razor, Zepher, Bishop, and the other mons cooking from the barbecue were kicked out of the ktchen. "Hey guys, what's up?" Veil asked. "Well, apparently, we're finished. So we'll be waiting outside. You finished yet?" Mark asked. "Yeah, I'm almost done. Just give me a sec." Veil said. Mark nodded. "Alright then. Come on guys, let's wait outside." Mark said, walking out with the rest of the cooks. Checker and King were also pushed aside by a group of different mons with various instruments. A Krookodile then swiped the violin out of King's hands, and they all started playing. "Goodness gracious." Checker said, her and King walking out the door of the pub. Veil sighed.

Veil waited a while, before Zane and Snape were finally finished, and Snape called out to Veil. "Ugh, finally!" Veil said. She went to the counter, grabbed the bill off of the counter, and brought it to the table. "Here's your guy's bill. You guys took a long time to eat." Veil said. "Well, the food was really good. We couldn't help it." Snape said. Zane jumped in surprise when Veil spoke. Veil noticed that. "Hey, Zangoose guy, you got a problem?" Veil asked. Zane shook his head furiously. "No, I'm fine!" Zane said terrified. Veil raised an eyebrow. "Well alright then." Veil said. Snape put a star coin on the bill, and handed the bill to Veil. "Here you go." Snape said. "Thanks. Have a nice day, you two." Veil said. Snape and Zane both got up and left, Zane seeming to inconspicuously run. "Come on, Zane! Don't be a wimp!" Snape said. "But you saw the size of that rocket launcher! She scares me even more now!" Zane said. "Wuss." Veil said, chuckling.

Veil then brought the bill back to the counter, brought the dishes to the kitchen, and then sighed a sigh of relief as she walked out fo the kitchen. "Ahhh! I'm finally done!" Veil said. She was then stopped by the Miltank from earlier. "Hey, thanks for the help today! We'll handle the rest from here." The Miltank said. "Alright then. What about our reward?" Veil asked. "I'll let your superiors know. You let your friends know that too, now. See ya!" The Miltank said, stepping to the side. "Thanks. Bye!" Veil said, running out of the bar.
