Video - August 4th

[Hank is looking frazzled as he turns on the camera, pokegear positioned in front of him on his desk. He has no idea how to approach a plan, honestly? Connor's birthday is this month, he never talks about his friends so he's not sure who they are, he doesn't know who to invite. Maybe he'll just tell Connor to tell them to come over?]

[Fuck he doesn't know. But here it goes. He's scratching his head and messing his hair up in the process.]

Okay, I have no fuckin' idea how to cook. I'm shit at it. I need someone to show me how to at least bake something in the next couple of weeks, alright? I'll pay.

[A cake made by him would be optimal. It won't be pretty, but it'd be the effort that counts. He supposes if he wrecks the thing he could go get a nice one from a store at the last moment.]

Also uh... last month while I was with Shadowmaru we ran into some Rockets. [Honestly it ended up being the highlight of his week. He's pretty sure that people aren't supposed to fight Rockets the way they did but it felt fucking great. Plus, you know, skinny funky-haired ninja being fucking impressive. That's a good show.] And the Jennies took 'em into custody. They got back to me and they think one of the pokemon they had was from that Prom that was attacked. Ambrose.

So Armin you can probably give 'em a ring and claim him.

[He hasn't even heard about the awesome dog he missed yet. Though his awesome dog leans in with its giant muzzle and snuffles his messed up hair.]

That should not be a problem, unless your somehow manage to use rawst berries instead. I'd not recommend that.

Oh yeah, I have long since figured that one out. Thankfully not through trial and error.

But I guess pranks can happen in stores.

Or when your Pokémon decide to help, especially if they have little experience in the kitchen.

That is a very, very good point. I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on that.

[They're good pokemon but any one capable of baking might add what it thinks is tasty.]

Even those who mean well can be... careless, or unaware of humans' preferences or digestive capacities. Some ingredients are not meant to be eaten raw or as charcoal.

How often has this happened to you?

[Because if there is a story here, he wants to hear it.]

Not very often, but raw turducken has a very... memorable taste. So does potato cement, from that matter. Thankfully, the network has let me live that particular incident down.

[There's a story here, indeed.]

I guess it's lucky that fuckin' Pokeland doesn't have salmonella, I guess, Jesus.

Fowl is not the right meat for sushi.

I did not actually eat it, to be honest, so for all we know it would truly have made me ill. I merely hurt my team's feelings instead, by spitting it in public, but it helped them learn an important lesson about cooking.
