Zach obediently left the tea to sit for a bit longer, focusing instead on Annie and his options for a warm meal. It all sounded very good, but it was the simple fact that tomato soup was familiar that decided him. He'd been having quite enough of 'adventurous' and he wanted something he knew. "I'll take tomato soup, then."
Tripod, having grown bored of exploring the area, clambered up next to Zach and and yawned. It was about time for a nap, she supposed. She didn't dislike sleeping, enjoyed it in fact, but she was worried she'd miss something while she slept. Interesting things were happening, or at least, they had been. The longer she sat in the chair with her trainer, the more boring it all became. In a typical time frame she became bored enough that sleep overtook her easily. It took exactly five minutes.
Zach decided that he'd let Tripod nap on the chair, rather than returning her to her pokeball. He'd wait until he was getting ready to set out to do that. Then, it would be someone else's turn to accompany him. He didn't want to let all of his pokemon trail behind him, but if he wasn't in a city he didn't see why one (or two) could be out with him all the time. It certainly kept him from freaking out at every sound.

"Alrighty," Annie smiled, before heading over to the back.
In the kitchen behind the counter she warmed up the soup on the stove. Humming the theme to Harry Potter, Annie danced back over to the machine, and picked up Zach's pokeballs. Putting these in her little black apron, she went back for the soup. It had reached the right temperature in the mean time, and Annie ladled out a bowl of thick red-ish orange liquid. She added shredded basil leaves and put a small packet of crackers on the plate next to the bowl.
Coming back into the main room with Zach, she slid the plate in front of him, careful of the tea. "Got everything for you. And here are your pokemon, all refreshed," she smiled as she handed them to the shorter boy.

"Thank you very much." He placed the pokeballs in their proper places before tasting the soup. It tasted like tomato soup, which should have been obvious. It was quite welcome though and Zach smiled at Annie, "This is good." He found it odd eating in front of someone who was not also eating but he figured she probably had already eaten or something. Tripod's nose twitched as the scent of the soup reached her, but it didn't wake her. Zach wouldn't be surprised if she had started to snore shortly, for that matter.

"So," Annie busied herself with a cloth and the counter, wiping it over with the rag. She found that cleaning things all the time helped. It kept big spills from looking like catastrophes, and you never knew when a health inspector was going to pop in. Admittedly, they usually called ahead. But the principal was the same. "Where're you from?"

"Hm? Oh. I'm from...'Eh, Kanto and Johto. I mean, I grew up in Kanto, same as everyone else in my family, but I've spent the past four and a half years in Johto. I liked the starter pokemon there most. For the last half year I've been here in Jenta though." Perhaps he had a thing for regions starting with J? Deciding not to share that thought with Annie he rubbed Tripod's ears with one hand while he worked on finishing up the soup with his other. It really was good soup.

"Oh, I'm surprised. Not a lot of people like the totodile line. I suppose you preferred cyndaquil and chikorita, though," Annie questioned. "And when you got here what did you take from the lab?"

"Haha. Yes, I chose chikorita at Jenta. She's a meganium now, and quite happy keeping my mother's plusle and minun company." She was a very pleasant pokemon, in fact, and not given to acting on impulse, which just made Zach like her more. "As for here...Well, I got Rapheal, my Zangoose, as my group three pokemon starter. I also have Jasmine, a sandshrew, as my group one starter..." He didn't really want to think about his group two starter, the dreadful ghost. Shuddering, he mentioned, "And...A shuppet, for group two."

"Too bad he's not a group three pokemon," Annie mused, not interpreting the shudder properly at all. "That would be incredibly useful against Shing. Still, maybe your zangoose will be the one to pull a win. If he was your starter, he must be extra tough and loyal. Also--were you lucky enough to grab some rock and steel pokemon in the lower mountains? You need good defense to go up against the normal type gym in Ji Ling."
Looking out the window, Annie had noticed that the sun had sunk to a glowing orange band in the west. "Oh, geeze. I forget how early that happens here. Anyway, wannna room for the night, or will you be pressing onwards?"
((Also note that with time skips becoming retroactive, Zach has 11 that he can use at his discretion. Either you can write those days of training, or I can. If you choose to use a time skip here it would last for 1 day, before Singe evolved into macargo (if you wanted her to). If Singe does not evolve, then the time warp would last for 4 days before Rapheal hit the level cap. Or you could chose to evolve Singe at any time between 1 and 4 days.
1 day time warp: Singe - level 52 1/2 - evolves - Learns Rock Slide as macargo (already knows this move) Rapheal - level 57 Oakash - level 54 Huur - level 56 1/2
2 day time warp: Singe - level 53 1/2 - learns Flamethrower (again...) - evolves Rapheal - level 58 Oakash - level 55 Huur - level 57 1/2 - learns Double Edge
3 day time warp Singe - level 54 1/2 - evolves Rapheal - level 59 Oakash - level 55 Huur - level 58 1/2
4 day time warp: Singe - level 55 1/2 - evolves Rapheal - level 60 Oakash - level 57 Huur - level 59 1/2))
