Story 43

Yooo! (your name) and friends! You all got a sec?

My, (your name), you do seem to find the most unusual Pokémon...

You’re called Rotom—is that right, pumpkin? Goodness, you do seem to have a lot of energy!

I heard you all wanna make a totally poppin’ town here!
And I have a real good idea for how to make the vibes IMMACULATE.

Oh, you’re going to help us out too? What a sweetie you are! Thank you!

Indeed! We would be very grateful. Would you please share your idea with us?

There’s only one way to make it happen, yo—we gotta have a PARTYYY!

A...party? What exactly are you thinking of?

Oh, a party sounds lovely! This brings back so many fond memories...

Yeah! A PARTY! With hype music! And singing! And dancing! And eatin’ good food, yo!

Ahh, right, yes, a PARTY! Yes, of course—that is more or less what I was picturing.
Yes, indeed... That does sound quite fun!

I knew you’d be down, (your name)! Let’s get working on the preparations!

I knew you’d be down, (your name)! Let’s get working on the preparations!

And what would those be? Could you tell us what we ought to do?

We can figure that out as we go, yo! Let’s get to it!

Oh, I am SO looking forward to having a party! After all, the most important thing you need for a party is FOOD!
I’ll show you all my very best cooking and whip up a special spread just for the party!

Yes, please do look forward to it! That being said... I wonder what I should cook.
A special dish for a special party... I need to think hard about this.

...Now that you mention it, I hadn’t thought that far.
I wonder, what SHOULD I cook?
A special dish for a special party...I need to think hard about this.

I definitely want to include … in whatever we make... And of course Arbok’s gifts are a must...
But the big question is, what dish will incorporate ALL of that?
Aaah, my mind’s a scrambled mess right now—I just can’t seem to get my thoughts in order!

You know what—maybe it would be better if we set up the party venue before worrying about all that!
So you’re going to need this, (your name)!

You got a Beach Pokémon Center from Chef Dente!

This place looks good for a party. It’s got a lot of space!
Would you be a dear and clear away some of that ash and stone that’s in the way?
Then you can set up that Beach Pokémon Center somewhere around here.

If you set up a wonderful party venue...
I’m sure it’d inspire me to come up with a wonderful dish too!

Would you be a dear and set up the Beach Pokémon Center somewhere around here?
After you’ve made a bit more space, of course, by getting rid of the rocks and ash and stuff!

Be sure to come talk to me again after you’ve placed that Beach Pokémon Center!

This place is starting to look ready for a party! And it’s all thanks to you, (your name)!

Yooo! So this is the Beach Pokémon Center you all’ve been talkin’ about, huh?! I’m diggin’ the culinary vibe!

All right, this is sure to inspire some great ideas for the party dish! Any minute now!
... ... ... ... ... ...
It’s no use! I can’t come up with a single thing!

I’m so sorry, (your name). And after you went through all that trouble to set the place up!

Chef! Yooo, that gives me an awesome idea! If you can’t come UP with a good recipe, then maybe we just need to get DOWN!

And...what does that mean exactly?

Get dowwwn! Get groovin’, y’know? What if we get everyone in the mood for a party first while Chef’s thinkin’?!
If everyone’s in the right mood, comin’ up with an awesome party food idea should be EASY!
I believe in you, Chef! I know you’ve got this!

Haven’t you two only just met?

Well...despite that, I’m beginning to agree! It DOES feel like I could come up with a good idea if the mood is right!

How about it then, (your name), sweetie? Would you be a little mood maker for us?
I know I’ve done nothing but ask favors of you but... Well, I’m asking again!

How about it then, (your name), sweetie? Would you be a little mood maker for us?
I know I’ve done nothing but ask favors of you but... Well, I’m asking again!

Hoho! That really does sound quite festive!
But...how exactly are we meant to raise the mood?

We can figure that out as we go, yo! Looks like the mood’s sittin’ around … right now. We gotta get hype and crank it up to 100!

I’ll stay here and keep thinking about what would make the perfect party dish!
Meanwhile, would you please work on raising the mood around here, dear?

Oh, and I’ve decided on the ingredients for the dish, at least!
Please don’t forget to put those ingredients into the Beach Pokémon Center!

Let’s work on getting everyone around here all gung ho for the party until the mood reaches 100!

If you want to know how the mood is doing at the moment, you can ask DJ Rotom.

Oh, you’ve set up the Beach Pokémon Center? How kind!
It...IS a bit far away though...

I think right around here would be better!

A party, eh? I don’t have much experience with those, but the idea is quite exciting!

Chef Dente seems more knowledgeable than I about parties.

Yooo! Music is, like, the SOUL of the party, right? But an epic party should have some epic food too!

If you know any Pokémon who’re legit in the kitchen, you should totally talk with ’em about this, yo!
