[Hello PNG, there is a waiter with a pot leaf on his head green hair staring at the monitor. It looks like he's thinking. To make things less awkward, he smiles and gives a small wave.]

Yes, hello. You must forgive me, I'm not, uh, familiar with the PNG yet. My name is Cilan, and I'm one of the Gym Leaders from Striaton City. Cress, Chili and I

The other Striaton gym leader.

[N seems relatively unfazed. The other two brothers seemed surprisingly alright. Chances were, Cilan was probably just fine, too. He is a little more trusting than he used to be.]

I've already met... Chili and Cress, I believe. You may or may not have heard of me.

[Cilan blinked. Something about this man seemed a little familiar. He remembered hearing all about the Team Plasma drama years back but he wasn't going to just assume... Besides, things must be better anyway.]

Yes, that's correct. We're triplets. I think it's neat that I finally get to meet people my brothers know.

Oh, um... I'm sorry, you are...?

I suppose that is why the PNG is this useful to people.

[Oh, he might not even remember the Plasma shenanigans. WELL THEN.]

N. I'm merely a Pokemon Trainer.

[striatonderp]

Oh, heh, right. Er, I state the obvious, don't I?

[Yep, the name is really ringing a bell. Ah, the Team Plasma wank drama. Who was Cilan to interfere or say anything? That would be rude, especially after 3 years! He pretends to not make the connection.]

...N? Ah hm, nice to meet you! You're always welcomed to stop by the Striaton Gym and Cafe if you ever want a meal... or a Pokemon battle!

Re: [video]

[surpass]

I hardly see why that is an issue.

[Don't worry Cilan, the most he'll do is liberate your Pokemon from what he fears is a horrible diet. Except not really.]

I'm not quite sure about a battle- [lol not wanting gym badges] -but I think a meal sounds acceptable. What do you offer?

Re: [video]

[striatonderp]

[Oh boy, advertising time! But Cilan is sincere when it comes to the cafe, so he gives N a warm smile.]

At the Striaton Cafe, we do our best to please every customer. We sell a wide variety of sandwiches, fresh baked sweets and much more. We also serve any kind of tea you may think of. I, uh... actually do quite a bit of cooking myself. I could take requests, if you'd like...

I would be honored if you came to visit us.

Re: [video]

[surpass]

[N is quick to brighten up. His face showed a mix of hopefulness and glee at the statement of requests, too. That especially interested him.]

If I were to request something...

[He shuffled the PNG to the side of his head. Pokemon of his- a Swoobat, a Vanilluxe, and an Archeops- can be seen playing in the grassy area behind him.] Would you be able to make some things for my Pokemon? They like certain flavors.

[striatonderp]

Of course, many of our customers bring their Pokemon to the cafe. I love to serve Pokemon, they're always so happy when they're eating. It's nice to see strong bonds between our customers and their Pokemon...

Re: [video]

I don't see why I couldn't then. Just as long as nothing poses a threat to them. Unfavorable trainers don't show up often, do they?

[oh lol just slightly curious. juuuust slightly.]

[video]

[striatonderp]

Oh no! Our cafe is a safe and peaceful place to dine and, um, for those who want to, Pokemon train.

I don't... think unfavorable trainers show up often... At least I don't think so. We have rules to keep the Striaton Cafe safe and enjoyable.

Re: [video]

[surpass]

I see.

This is all reassuring. As long as my Pokemon are willing to go, I hold no worries. Thank you for your information... Cilan.
