Pick up the phone Doppio~! Man, normally you're really on the mark for these this is kinda worrying. You alright over there?? Everything okay at base??
Anyway I heard we're going to be on the same heist~! There's something really great going on before that in the city we're hitting, so call me back~!
[If looks could kill, especially over the phone, Carly would be getting a big ol' death beam right as Doppio gets around to seeing what the hell THIS call is about. But then he hears her voice, and... Oh. Calling back now!]
Carly! Sorry about that, I think some shady advertising agency got ahold of my number and they won't leave me alone. What did you want to talk about?
That's a ways down there huh...the teleport's handy though, you get to skip right over Ilex.
Ahem. That said.
There's a cooking show happening~ Well, a contest really. You get to enter with one pokemon, and cook any kind of dish together~! I'm thinking of going in with Solitaire. We already make ice cream pretty regularly, so.
But you could enter! It's something to do, AND a perfect alibi~!
It's really huge yeah, I didn't want to take the chance either. Probably for the best, apparently some folks get stuck for weeks!
Back to what's important though! You're in luck~ These sorts of contests, it's almost never just about skill. They're practically entertainment rounds- you could go in doing your own thing and come out on top if the audience felt like it.
So the best thing to do is treat it as a free chance to have a good time~!
...Honestly, I would just have fun with it, make something you like to eat...or even just something you've wanted to try making, I mean, they have fully stocked fridges there! May as well take advantage...
I think so? There's normally a prize of some kind yeah. Sometimes they have 'special' prizes too, but I don't know what they'd hold those for with a cooking contest.
Prizes from these sorts of events are normally offers, like 'now that we know who won, we can arrange a vacation' or a restaurant deal, stuff like that. Any objects are kind of...not bottom of the barrel exactly, but they're not really huge either, y'know?

I didn't even know call-scam-spam existed in this place! Yeesh, guess no utopia can be perfect..
Anyway anyway. There's an event going on juuuuust before the heist that would be perfect for cover~
And I'd bet you haven't really gone anywhere since Christmas' big bang, if you're in the base for that matter...
[She squints, as if doing that at the screen on a voice call will reveal Doppio's location.] I'm assuming that's where you are anyway....
..If not, then hey, glad to hear you're getting out~!

[If only because hey, the badges are a pretty objective indicator of his skill in Pokémon battling.]
So, uh... What's up?

A cooking contest? Oh, man. I'm not much of a chef, but it WOULD be nice to have a better alibi...

But hey, who knows. Maybe one day we'll be able to steal something cool from these guys after all...
