The meat and vegetables sizzled over the grill while Justin and his team began to prepare (and salivate) over their food. Rhoan's fire crackled and popped, and the smoke wafted through the air, attracting all sorts of beasties from the woods. Simba was point guard, his keen eyes scanning the surface for any signs of Pokemon trouble. However, as the night fell, even though the Pokemon had no issues seeing in many conditions, the smell of the delicious food and the delicious smoke made for an unfortunate distraction.

"Okay, so, I know some of you guys don't like meat, so I made a few vegetables for you."

On a plate donned with a few electric bolts (hey, they were on sale) Justin placed the vegetables on the ground for Freyja to reach. He'd mentioned 'a few' liked vegetables, but it really only meant Freyja. The rest of the team, and Justin included, enjoyed their meat, and certainly not pinecones. The food was divvied out due to size. Which meant Dayn got a bit more, but ended up swallowing his entire steak with one gulp. Capona nipped at her meat like she'd be cleaning a kill from a Ratatta or some other Pokemon, while Surreo used his arms to slice strips in neat, delicate motions. Rhoan stuffed her face with fish, considering steak was a bit too close to you-know-what, while Simba recieved a bit of steak as well. Completely and utterly distracted at this point, it wasn't until the Pineco thumped to the ground that it was noticed by anyone on the team. Justin began cutting into his meat, but Simba's growl alerted the man of trouble.

"Oh? Whattsat?"

Justin murmured, mouth full of food. The Pineco approached the team in a worried fashion. Justin wasn't sure why, he wasn't a Pokemon whisperer. But, that definitely would've been cool. No, instead, it seemed as though it were concerned with the food he and the team was eating. Maybe it was hungry? What did Pineco eat? Reaching down to his side, he patted Freyja and took half of a zucchini and stood up to place it in front of the Pineco. It didn't seem angry as much as worried, but if anything did happen, it'd probably be a prompt, messy explosion. "If yer hungry, we've got some fresh veggies and beef. But, i'm not sure what you like, so want a veggie?" Justin returned to his seat, and the rest of the Pokemon returned to their eating.

(Justin fled the battle.)
