The banner of Lugia flowed gently under the breeze that whispered through the open windows. It's ripples were memorising and soothing to those who actually took the time and effort to admire the artisanship. A carefully woven fabric that glowed under the light; a statement of pride for the people that it represented. The room had a soothing atmosphere that was interrupted by the sounds of belching and slurps. People from the different nations gathered here under invitation from the Emperor of Phoenicis all filling their bellies with the various creatures of the land. Each one prepared in a different manner with varying taste, spices, and berry sauce seasoning.

Under the flowing banner sat a younger female, but considering the average age of the group she was surrounded by she felt as if she was part of the older demographic. She sat there and stared down at her meal, poking it with a fork and trying to work out how an ekans steak turned out to be bright green considering the pokemon was naturally purple.

"It's gotta be a shiny," Jin grimaced as she poked it again and listened to the farting noise that it make with every touch. It was her choice to try something exotic, but for a meal this just didn't seem to appeal to her appetite.

"Not interested in the python?" a man from opposite the table called out to her.

"I dunno, eating green meat just doesn't excite me," she spoke with disappointment as she let her arm drop onto the seat next to her and she began to rub her Staryu for comfort. "I might stick to the mareep cutlets. I usually have them back at home."

"That's understandable," he replied, leaning over to pull the plate away her and towards his side of the table. He then proceeded to serve up a fresh dish of cutlets and poured some Leppa sauce over the top, letting the hot sauce ooze it's way over the meat before calmly placing the dish before the girl. "There's no need to try exotic foods here. No one is going to judge your skills based on your dietary preferences. I already saw you give a funny look to the seafood..."

"It's not the seafood," Jin interrupted coldly, "it's just the tempura starmie." She looked down at her Staryu noticing the gem was cold and black, indicating that 'he' was asleep. His arms waved back and forth ever so slightly giving the impression that he was swimming in the ocean.

It must have been a good dream.
