On the edge of the city of Karianna was a huge patchwork tent. It looked rather old and shabby, but the sign in front advertising free bowls of food and groomings made it much more popular to those wandering about. In front of the open gray flaps, a young woman sat on a crate, stirring a large pot of soup and humming pleasantly.
She was a friendly looking lady, with a young weathered face, a deep suntan and long green braids. Her clothing was plain but practical and her whole tent smelled of fresh food. Visible by the flap was a large snoozing Teddiursa, with a bandage around his back paw, and a content expression on his features. Every now and then, the bear would move in his sleep, earning him a few loud squawks from a Delibird he nearly smooshed several times.
Of the three pokemon near the woman, the delibird seemed the only one up and about. He was bustling in and out, bringing ingredients for the food, and checking for visitors. Besides the Teddi - called Oompa - and the bird - Ornith - there was a sleek Zigzagoon on a crate by the fire, enjoying the warmth and basking in how comfortable he was. Really, it was a very welcoming scene, at least to Steve.

ChuChu's nose twitched as it caught scent of food. And not just the usual poffins or fried to-go foods sold at Katarina, it was sniff sniff soup! The mouse pokemon gently tugged at Prince's neckfeathers to get the attention of her teammate whom she was riding upon. "Rai raichu! ( Soup! Want soup!)" "Pige! ( Careful!)" Prince replied. Although the Pidgeot had a soft spot for his small teammate, he was very nit-picky about his feathers. They were his pride and joy and he really hated it when they got damaged after every battle. However, he complied with ChuChu's request and landed in front of the stall the raichu pointed to. However, unlike ChuChu who was smaller than an average raichu, Prince was slightly larger than the normal pidgeot and the landing caused a slight gust of wind to blow in all directions.

Steve had to reach out to steady the soup from being knocked over as Ornith was blown back into the snoozing Oompa. After the wind had died down, which didn't take long, she stood and went over to greet the duo, grabbing something from a small bag by the fire on her way. "Hey there. Come for a snack?" she asked, holding a hand with a few berries out towards Prince and ChuChu. The geren haired woman kept her voice very gentle and soothing so as not to startle them - the pair seemed to know what they were doing, but not startling off strange pogeys was still a good plan.

ChuChu, always the adventurer, was quick to hop off of Prince's back and towards the nice-looking lady with the berries. Prince, the more cautious of the two, stayed where he landed but kept a watchful eye on his companion.
"Rai?"
ChuChu sniffed at the berries first; they smelled safe enough. Without a second thought, ChuChu grabbed the largest Pecha berry and nibbled on it before taking a larger bite. Within a few seconds, the berry was scarfed down and ChuChu let a happy "chaa~~" of satisfaction.
However, a single berry could not settle the raichu's hunger. Sniff sniff. "Rai!" ChuChu exclaimed, tugging on the fabric of the nice-lady's clothes and pointing to the direction of the soup. Her trainer usually kept her pokemon fed on berries and occasional treats or outings to some buffet (where Albireo the dewgong would eventually get kicked out for eating out the seafood section). Yes, she was kept full and happy most of the time, but the raichu could not help but crave for some real food.

Steve laughed, "All right, all right." she agreed, going to sit down on her crate again and dish out a large bowl of soup for the little Raichu. "Does your friend want some?" the woman inquired, handing the dish to the little pokemon and reaching out to pet her head.
Ornith waved at the much larger bird pokemon, having finally recovered from being blown backwards. "Deliiiiiii~?(how do you do?)"
