(A Field Later thar Day. Rattata follows a pleasant scent in the air. It leads him to a beautiful Big Mushroom).

Rattata: So now I had a secret life. The only one who knew about it was Patrat. (Behind The Farmhouse that Late Afternoon Patrat is atop a full garbage can, rooting around under the lid. Rattata calls up from the tall grass below).Patrat! Psst- hey, Patrat! (Patrat looks up, holding the remains of a brown-bag lunch. Rattata Says Giddy). Look! I found a Big Mushroom! Come on, you are good at hiding food, help me find a good place to put this! (Later that Afternoon in a Grassy Field - Late Afternoon Rattata and Patrat walk together; Patrat on all fours, dragging the enormous bag he grips between his teeth, while Rattata walks upright, carefully cradling his Big Mushroom).He does not under-stand me, but I can be myself around him...

Patrat: Why are you walking like that?

Rattata: I Do Not want to constantly have to wash my paws. Do you ever think about how we walk on the same paws that we manage food with? Do you ever think about What we put into our mouths?

Patrat: All the time. (Rattata Shudders).

Rattata: When I eat, I Do Not want to taste everywhere my paws have been.

Patrat: Well, okay. But if Dad sees you walking like that... He is not gonna like it. (Rattata Sniffs Patrat's Bag. His eyes Light Up).

Rattata: What have you got there? (Rattata disappears into the bag, Rifles through it, appearing with).Poképuff? You found Poképuff? And not just any Poképuff- Rainbow Flavored! And Jungle Karma Pizza! That would go beautifully with my Big Mushroom! And! And-and-and (Rattata sniffs the air, quickly finds a plant nearby. Rattata Plucks it from the ground, his excitement growing by the second).This Hearty Grains! With, hopefully with- (Rattata grabs a paw full of grass from the ground, tasting the milky base. Smiling, Rattata squeezes a couple drops on the Big Mushroom). A Couple drops from this sweet grass!

Patrat: Well... throw it on the pile I guess, and we will-

Rattata: We Do Not want to throw this in with the garbage! This is special!

Patrat: But we gotta return to the colony before sundown or Dad's gonna-

Rattata: Patrat! There are possibilities unexplored here. We've gotta cook this! Now, exactly how we cook this is the real questi- (Rattata Stops, his gaze locking on the Smoking Chimney atop the farmhouse roof. Rattata Grins).ooooohh yes. Come on! (On the Rooftop Later, Rattata has skewered the Big Mushroom and Poképuff onto part of the TV antennae, which he has bent over the smoking chimney top, hand turning it like a rotisserie).The key is to keep turning it, get the smoky flavor nice and even... (Lighting flickers in the far distance, followed a moment later by a Rumble of thunder. Patrat watches, concerned).

Patrat: That storm is getting closer. Hey, you think that hopefully, we should not- Kraaak! (A Lighting of Lightning hits the TV antennae. knocking both Pokémon off the rooftop. They make a Long Fall, landing with a Thud into the soft dirt. Miraculously, Rattata and Patrat are alive, their smoking fur sticks out in an electrified frazzle. Rattata holds the rod up, keeping the cheesy Big Mushroom, now transformed by Lighting into an amazing, puffed out shape and completely clean. Rattata Says Moaning in Pain).

Rattata: Whoaaa... ohhh... (Rattata idly bites Big Mushroom). ...ohmmmmmnnn you gotta taste this! It has this kind of- (Rattata smacks his lips). -burny, melty- it is not really a smoky flavor, it is a certain- it is kinda like a. (Rattata Makes a "Boom" sound effect). It has a (Rattata makes "Zap" sound effect). kind of taste, do you think? What would you call that flavor?

Patrat: Lighting-y?

Rattata: Yes! It is Lighting-Y! We've gotta do that Again! Okay. When the next storm comes, we will go up on the roof. (Rattata's eyes suddenly go Blank with a pre-emptive thought),I Know What This Needs! Miracle Berry Sauce! a little Miracle Berry Sauce would Make This!

Patrat: Miracle Berry Sauce. Why do I get the feeling-? (Rattata and Patrat Say Together).

Rattata and Patrat: It is in the kitchen.
