Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! For some people, Pokémon are pets. Others use them for fights. Yourself...You cook Pokémon as a Profession. First, what is your name?

>Penny Pudding

That's right. I remember now! Penny Pudding. You're an amateur chef in charge of your own restaurant: 'The Tall Tale', named after the fishing habits of Slowpokes. You're a specialist in cooking Water-type Pokémon, and learnt the trade in Grillburg city from your master, Masao. Your partner is the Mantis Pokémon, Scyther, who's a great help in hunting Pokémon, but still needs lots of aid while in the kitchen.

After three weeks of developing your customer base in the small town of Lobraise, you're on a steady road to success! You just need to hire another chef today, obtain another partner Pokémon, and you'll soon be set on labour. Its been extremely busy, and you look forward to more leisurely days ahead... despite the problems looming over the horizon.

On the last episode, you've:

>Almost gotten robbed of your Pokémon by a thief who stopped by in town
>Introduced a new menu item: Tankoyaki!
>Become closer to one of your waiter, who seems to be having a rough home life
>Started training on a new sub-speciality
>Developed a growing feud with a competing restaurant, Sizzlipede Sizzlers, who's directly trying to compete with you

And now it's time to continue your adventure!
