The woman takes a second for herself from the stand and pays you for both. Over the next hour 3 Mochi Balls are bought up, a guy in a fighter's uniform comes by and buys a Spicy wrap. Luckily it isn't Eddy. Another stall owner comes over and purchases one of the pretzel balls, impressed with how it glistens. A man holding a Staryucks cup of coffee buys one of your Coffee Pastries, and actually comes back to say it goes amazing with his coffee. A trainer comes from the direction of the contest hall, eyes your items and purchases one of your baits. Near the end of the hour a teen girl about your age buys another of your sweet dango balls and tries it right there, telling you it is amazing.

Zach gives a grin, chatting up the customers that want to stay a moment, thanking everyone for their purchase, and being a bit embarrassed by the praise. He pockets the money, surprised by how well things are going this time. As the girl walks up, he grins, rubbing the back of his spiky hair a bit shyly. "Hehe... Thanks! Would you believe I'm self-taught?" He looks away a bit shyly and takes inventory.
2 Mochi, 2 Dangos, 4 Wraps, 4 Pastries, 4 baits, 5 jars of baby food.

"No way! That's so cool! Did you practise a lot?" She leans forward a bit, playing with the stick.

He nods, giving Cass a bit of a petting during this small break. "Yeah, made a LOT of mistakes early on... I started cooking for the Pokecenter in Amberleaf when I was... 7 I think. She let me practice quite a bit there, so I learned a lot. My goal is to open my own restaurant some day!" He pauses, realizing he had just pointed at the sun dramatically with a big, goofy grin on his face. He quickly composed himself, lowering his arm and chuckling. "Well, that's all after my friends and I take on the league circuit."

She laughs too at your action, holding a hand over her mouth and letting out a cute giggle. When she's finished she speaks again, giving you a teasing look "Who's this she that let you cook hmmmmm? You got a girlfriend that wants a stay at home husband?"

Zach blushed HARD, his face almost matching the color of Cass's flames. He waved his hands in front of him quickly, hoping to clear this mess up. "I-I meant the Nurse Joy in Amberleaf! She let me stay in the center in exchange for cooking for everyone! I uh... I've never had a girlfriend." He looked away, embarrassed again. He didn't know too much about girls OR dating...

"Wow, that's a surprise." You can tell she is trying to pretend not to notice how obviously embarassed you are. "So I guess if you're taking on the league you'll probably be gone in a few days right?"

Zach nodded, eager for a way out of that line of conversation. "Y-Yeah, my team and I got here earlier today, and we're gonna take a few days downtime here. I'm probably gonna use the time to hone my cooking, maybe buy a new knife. One of our members came back kind of abruptly... It's a whole thing, but there's drama going on. So... Here I am. Oh! Where are my manners... My name's Zachary." He quickly wiped his hand on his apron, extending it to her.

She takes your hand and shakes "Linda, my friends call me Lin. That sounds like a big mess so..." She trails off, suddenly not seeming so sure on what to say.

Zach shrugged, giving a wide grin. "Oh, I'm sure it will blow over. Danny may just end up with a black eye... He lacks a certain... situational awareness. That irked the girl who's pretty much our leader. I didn't know what to do, so I did what I always do when I'm upset, I cooked! Do you live here Lin?"

"Haha angering us is a dangerous business." She joked. "Yeah I live with my family here. Have to go to school tomorrow though. It's so boring!" She moans at the thought of Monday morning.

Zach chuckles, then deadpans. "Oh you have no idea..." He grinned again, hearing her mention school. "You've got school tomorrow? What's it like?" His eyes are wide and innocent, not knowing the horrors of classes or homework.

"I have to sit in classrooms listening to teachers go on about math and history and english. It's like 7 hours of my day gone. Mum says it's important though. And I suppose I've got friends there. The homework is so tiring though. All problems and memorizing dates... and essays! Like this weekend I have to write a big long essay on..." Her eyes widen mid rant and she suddenly looks panicked. "Oh nuts I didn't finish that. Nice meeting you but I've gotta go."

Zach tries his best not to look TOO disappointed. "Well, you should hurry and go finish your essay! There's a good chance I'll be here tomorrow too! Actually... before you go, take this!" He quickly writes out his Pokedex number, handing it to her with an innocent smile. "If you need me, call me! I'll do my best to help!"

She takes the paper, slightly surprised, and starts dashing away "Thanks, I might try to drop by after school!" With that Zach is left attending his stall again. The nearest stall owners appear to be pretending to be busy with one thing or another.

Zach grins, glad to have made a new friend! He quickly threw another Dango onto the wok, singing out loudly and calling in customers to try out his cooking! Today was gonna be a good day. He even had an exciting job with his friends after this! He was sooooooo excited!

After that excitement this hour goes fast. Zach manages to sell 1 more Pretzel Ball, 1 more spicy wrap, 2 jars of baby food, 2 coffee pastries and his last 2 sweet mochi balls. He finishes cooking 2 more of those and realises it is almost 5. He has 3 more pretzel balls, will he make a fresh one for the manager?

Zach decides to do the best thing, and whip up another batch of pretzel balls. He was a bit disappointed that the candies didn't sell very well, but he could just share them with his friends later. He packed up his stall, taking his excess inventory with him to use later, and hurried over to the planning building!
Once inside, Zach presented the fresh pretzels to the woman in charge, smiling. "I think I made a good name for myself! Is it possible to get a spot some time tomorrow?"

She happily takes your offering, a shiver moving through her as she swallows. She types away at her computer for a moment and then says "I have a table available. The price is usually 500 per day with another 500 deposit. You get that part back at the end of the day. Cadius took care of that today though. There's still an hour before we close the square, are you not going to stick around? Our normal hours are 9am-6pm"

Zach pondered, his scrap sack feeling rather light at the moment. He figured he had enough for maybe another hour, if that... So he looked to the woman. "Can I let you know tomorrow morning? I need to procure a few more ingredients... And I'm worried I'm gonna run low on money, I still have to buy a new knife today. It's why I'm heading off now! I've had this knife for a long time, and while I love it, I need another one for tougher oppo... er, dishes." DO NOT TELL HER YOU'VE BEEN USING THIS KNIFE ON WILD POKEMON ZACH.
