Toorop sat back and took in the scene unfolding before him, knowing that if something happen he was ready to intervene.  He saw Jason’s Charmander and nodded to himself, happy that he was among what seemed like capable trainers with strong Pokémon that seemed very happy as well.  In his head he was imagining all the different training regiments he could do with the Pokémon and how he could utilize each one’s uniqueness to help his Machop be more adapt at battling different types and styles of Pokémon.  He let the slightest hint of a smile show through as he imagined the training play out AND as he saw the rivalry between Davey and Jason blossom… although for now it was fairly one sided.  As Jackie handed out plates for everyone and their Pokémon Toorop thanked her for the meal, “Thank you very much.  I don’t know if I’ve mentioned, but we don’t cook much so this is a treat”.  Machop gave an approving grunt and upon taking his first bite his eyes bulged!  “Graw graw” and the Machop grabbed some water from Toorops bag and chugged the bottle.  “Hahaha, a little too spicy for you buddy?!?”, Toorop asked as he was taking a spoonful.  The Machop nodded, but that didn’t stop him from downing the rest.<br/><br/>As Jason pulled a cigarette out he asked if anyone would be bothered. “Do me a favor and stay downwind of me. I’ve never been a fan and not to be rude, can’t stand the smell.”  Toorop then addressed the group, “do we want to start heading towards town now that we’ve rested and eaten?”
