It was getting dark, and Carl was hungry. His stomach growled ferociously, demanding food. The only thing Carl knew how to make was a desert, but, it was still food. He noticed a berry bush, and went over to it. There were many, perfectly ripe Oran Berries. He picked somewhere around thirty, with the help of Piplup, and Gible of course. Grabbing a lighter from his bag, he told Piplup, and Gible to find scrap metal. He made a circle, and put a bunch of leaves in it, and lit them up. Now all he needed was that metal.

Piplup and Gible ran through the darkening streets of Lumiose, with the only sources of light being the moon, streetlights, and Prism Tower. They looked behind alleys, and didn't find much but, this is what they found; Air Ventilation Grate, an Old Sweater, and a Chipped Ceramic Plate. They rushed back to Carl with a plan.

It was getting darker, and colder, and Carl was beginning to worry, until he heard the loud squeaks of his Piplup. He saw their silhouettes in the dark. He then say Piplup fall on his face, causing Gible to trip over him. They quickly scrambled back up, and scurried to Carl. Many people would not understand what Piplup was trying to say, but from being with him for so long, Carl knew exactly what Piplup was trying to tell him, with the help of hand movements from the Pokemon. He ripped some of the sweater in thin, threads of yarn. He then tied the grate to sticks to hold it up, and put the plate on top. He placed the berries in the plate. The plate was relatively deep, and when the berries boiled down to, somewhat of a sauce, it held it in. He took his remaining rations of bread, and ripped it into 5 decent sized pieces. The bread was that of a sweet bread, and it went well with the berry reduction. He put the desert/dinner on the same plate and called to Norman,

He of course didn't forget about Beautifly, who couldn't eat solids, and gave her, the remainder(which was a good amount) of the reduction in the plate.
