The reply is disappointing, but expected. He'll just have to wait until he gets to Mukilcoma after all. Someone allowed these poachers to buy from NanoKlink, and if Loretta Steel herself would pin this on an innocent salesman, Lorne knows they have to be hiding something, and he is determined to find out ehat.

But until then, he decides to distract himself and releases Scyther and Absol as walks along, giving them some exercise and a bit of the usual brutal training as they go.

"I've been thinking since my Pokémon are obviously superior, you can't go on with these generic species names. From now on, I'll be giving you personalized names so you stand out above all the others. Scyther, you'll answer to Saïf. And Absol, I'll call you Lilith from now on."

"Scyyy!!" The Scyther buzzes in excitement at his new name while Absol prances in approval.

#figured I ought to start working the nicknames in somehow, heh

"Oh wow, a Museum of Glass? That's really interesting! I can't wait to see the exhibition," Tristan says in reply to Wendy.

When she calls him a strong trainer, he laughs a little bit to himself. "I never really thought of myself as a strong trainer, but this expedition has really made me re-evaluate things," he says. "Catching and growing alongside your Pokémon is really an intense experience."

#Happy to continue the conversation or move along. Not sure if that was the only thing on this route.

#Whoever is farther down the route would see and hear the following first

As you all continue down the route, suddenly you hear a loud vehicle vrooming in from the distance. Suddenly it comes into view, a tiny pinprick of red followed by a cloud of exhaust, barreling down the fast lane. As it gets closer, you see it looks like some sort of twisted lovechild between a ferrari convertible and a small square truck, the driver seat in the classy ferrari front. The truck barrels forward, and finally swerves to an empty spot in the median right in front of the main group of people, slamming to a stop. Jonathan, Semira, Ziggy, and Tristan can see the back cabin has a closed sliding window and looks like a food truck, and scrawled across the truck in huge gold letters was the word "DUDE".

"AWWW YEAAAHH!! IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!" A large man wearing a tacky bowling shirt of Charmanders shooting flames jumped out of the driver seat. His hair was spiked with frosted tips, his goatee frosted to match, and he was wearing sporty sunglasses backwards. A Munchlax wearing an identical bowling shirt hopped out of the passenger seat, his ears also frosted the same horrific blonde color. "Who's ready for some street food that's off the HOOK?!?!" He yelled at the crowd jubilantly.

Command: [result]18&1:5:2:5,4d6,5,18&4d6+5[/result]

"Oh my Arceus!" Wendy yelled with glee, tugging on Tristan's cuff excitedly. "That's Rainshadow City's Dinner Deathmatch Champion, Dude Ferrari! His food is SOOOOOO good!" Dude was scribbling today's menu on a chalkboard on the truck, as the crowd began to gather hungrily. So far he only had written, "Champion Cheeseburger - Tauros Patty between two grilled cheese sandwiches, bacon, crispy onion rings, Crazy Mankey Sauce.

Tristan looks over with one eyebrow raised at Jonathan to see the chef's reaction to this... Gastronomic extravaganza. This guy... err... Dude... seemed a little low brow to be a champion cook, but he certainly had force of personality. Or something like that.

First impressions, in all situations, are rather important. A good one this man was not making. Tacky was not even remotely close enough to describe this man.

Jonathan just hoped that the man's food was better than his demeanor. He moves forward to get a closer look and check out his setup.

Unaware of what's going on, Lorne glances towards the obnoxious, showy vehicle. "Overcompensating much?!" he calls out.

But he's still a little curious about what's happening, and the rest of the group is still back there somewhere, so Lorne decides to backtrack a bit to see what's happening. He wouldn't mind beating up more gang members, if that's what this is.

Jonathan's usual gut feelings are even at a loss here. This guy seemed so tacky, so fake, so obnoxious...yet this crowd was flocking to him. On his tiptoes Jonathan could barely get a peak of the elevated kitchen, but it seemed clean and modern enough. At least he wasn't disgusting - there were some gross kitchens out there.

"ALRIGHT! Who's ready to drive their taste buds to FLAVOR TOWN?!" The small crowd cheered and tried to jostle each other, lining up for food. "I promise my secret Crazy Mankey sauce is money. You're going to have a TASTESPLOSION in your mouth hole!!!!"

#Athletics or Acrobatics or Stealth check to try to get to the head of the line, if you desire :P

The rest of the menu is on the board:

Screamin' Spicy Pignite Roll
Tapioca rice paper roll with sushi rice, avocado, BBQ Pignite, french fries, and a Crazy Mankey Sauce

Italian FonDude Dippers
Pepperoni-wrapped breadstick twists served with Miltank cheese dip & Crazy Mankey Sauce

Ferrari Fried Icecream
A Golem-sized bolder of ice cream, deep fried

Jonathan reads through the menu and stifles a gag. This food was even tackier than he was...and he hoped to Arceus that, the way that Pignite roll was worded, the fries were a side item and not an ingredient inside the...oh wait, nope. They're wrapping the fries into the rice paper. And the prices? Geez. He could have probably charged half as much and still made 300-400% profit.

Jonathan didn't even want to speak to this guy lest imagination crumble and he turn out to be a really shitty guy instead of just a potentially well-meaning overblown, garish, foodie celebrity. Instead, he sat down on a stump and pulled out the spinach and mushroom stew that he had made yesterday from one of his tupperware containers and had Phyllis heat it up. As stomach-turning as this man's food was, it did remind him that he hadn't eaten this morning.

#+1 to Max AP until the end of the day

A couple of trainers who had been standing farther back and eyeing Dude Ferrari's truck more skeptically turned toward Jonathan, sniffing happily as the delicious smell of his leftovers wafted over. "Now THAT smells good to me," one said to his friend. "Not that deep fried gringo-Kanto fusion garbage."

"Heart attack on a plate, plus he uses PokeProducts, of course," she said with an eye roll.

"Too bad people like you don't have a food truck, man," the guy laughed to Jonathan.

Jonathan laughed. "Maybe someday. Trucks are expensive." He tucks the tupperware back into his bag. "I can whip something up for you guys if you want."
