4th Recipe [Violet City, Video]
[The feed opens up on Jane's back as she bustles around the kitchen in the Violet City Inn - judging by how the camera isn't perfectly steady and the happy chatter of Pokemon nearby, someone else is filming. The video takes a turn - Dinah the Audino and Bettina the Golbat are fussing over a container of cinnamon, Dinah being the only one with hands to pour it over bowls of what looks to be rice pudding. Seems like Jane made them a treat, but she's still working?]
- August?
[The video shifts again to show Jane, the oven open behind her and holding a tray of...are those raisins? Come to think of it, there's a whole LOT of grapes left on the counter. Looks like someone got paid for her help in way too much food to eat before it goes bad.]
I didn't know you could work the 'gear! Have you been learning by watching me?
Delphoox!
[Jane chuckles, coming closer to put the tray on the table. Geez, that's a lot of raisins.] Goodness, I tell you I want to show you off and you get right ahead of me! Hold on, give me that so we can let everyone see you.
[August hands the 'gear over, and there's a blur before there's a clear view of Jane's team enjoying their special treat - and it's clear that August has become a very handsome shiny Delphox. He grins and ducks his head, shy, while the other Pokemon spot the 'gear and wave.]
I hope this isn't too much like tooting my own horn, but I do believe I have quite a good-looking team! And August has gained a secondary typing - he's Fire and Psychic now! [Jane sounds so excited by this.] I can't wait until we can actually converse, you know? But, erm, he does...need a little practice with his new powers. August, do you want to try something?
[The Delphox nods, removing a stick from his sleeve-fur. There's a subtle glow as he closes his eyes, and at first that glow surrounds the raisins, and they do begin to float...but when the glow disperses, they shoot out everywhere, and Jane and her Pokemon duck and cry out. The feed switches over to Jane's somewhat exasperated face.]
Ah! O-Okay, um, well, as you can see, he's...really not good at maintaining control yet. At least this time it wasn't anything that could hurt someone...but, I'm assuming practice is going to make perfect?

[... no]
[No.]
[NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]
[RAISINS???????!!!]
What are you doing?!
[DB]
[THIS IS THE SCARIEST VIDEO WRATH HAS EVER SEEN. GET THOSE AWAY FROM THE BEAUTIFUL PUDDING!]
[Video]
Making...raisins?
[Video]
[HE LOOKS DISTRAUGHT.]
[Video]
Um...well...I was...going to offer my Pokemon the choice of having raisins with their pudding...not necessarily mixing it into the pudding...? And not necessarily meaning that they'll put it in their own pudding.
[That's a lie she was going to put the raisins in the pudding because she's a weirdo who likes raisins and worked hard to pick the grapes and dry them out.]
[Video]
[He's practically wailing, and also he has no concept of hard work. Or of liking raisins.]
Think of the pudding!
[Video]
H-Hey! It's...Wrath, it's fine, really! Look, I'll just put the raisins back...
[Or, well, clean them up and throw them out because now loads are all over the inn kitchen.]
Nobody has to have them in their pudding, I promise!
[Video]
--snfl.
You promise?
[He trusts you to keep your word and not become a totalitarian raisin dictator, Jane!]
[Video]
I promise - cross my heart.
[Video]
Okay... hff. That was close.
[Video]
I'm guessing you are the furthest thing from a fan of raisins, huh?
[Video]
They're terrible, and sneaky.
If you don't watch them, they get into all kinds of places they're not supposed to be!
Like your mouth.
[Once upon a time, he had an oatmeal cookie in the Rocket HQ cafeteria.]
[He liked it so much that he went and got another one from a bakery that he always passed on the way to the city dump.]
[AND THE SECOND ONE HAD RAISINS IN IT.]
[He never recovered, the end.]
