Kimiko and Empoleon was waiting with the others, hoping to get a glimpse of the Mammoth creature.

Terry was surprisingly comfortable around them as well, and let Kimiko pet him.

"This Drunken Cow meat rocks!" Toriko said as he munched on some meat from earlier. "I'm getting high on flavor!"

"Give me some of that!" Mansam said as he took a bite.

"Get your own!" Toriko yelled.

'He never stops eating does he?...' Kimiko thought as she watched Tina record Toriko before she got into an argument with Rin.

'Rin is obsessed with him...I can't tell if he knows or not but...he doesnt give a sign that he's interested. Grandma did tell me how a man is interested,  verbal and non-verbal.' she thought.

"Hey, Kimiko, I was wondering how one of your creatures changed." Toriko suddenly brought it up making everyone look at her.

"Oh, you mean Houndour. Or rather he's Houndoom now." She said as Toriko took out the dex and Kimiko punched in the name.

Houndour the Dark Beast. A dark/fire type. Capture Level: Unknown.
Houndour is an intelligent creature that forms packs to hunt for prey and shows unparalleled teamwork. It will not abandon a pack member who is sick, putting its needs before themselves, even in the face of danger. It communicates using various barks and howls. Barks are used to determine the location of a pack member during a hunt, which only they can understand, while howls are used as a declaration of ownership over territory. They are known to be loyal and obedient to their Trainers.

Houndoom the Dark Beast. A dark/fire type, and the Evolved form of Houndour. Capture Level: Unknown.

Houndoom live in packs, and the one with its horns raked sharply towards the back serves a leadership role. Leadership is determined by fights within the pack. Its gut is full of toxins, which are used to create unique fire mixed with poison. This gives Houndoom's fire a foul odor and the burns it inflicts will never heal. After finishing off its prey, Houndoom divides it evenly among its pack. Its howling induces shivering in enemies, and often sends them scurrying back to their nests. In the past, people thought Houndoom's howl came from the grim reaper. Houndoom usually breathes fire when it is angry.'

"Yikes! That explains why that Robo yelled of being in so much pain!" Rin said.

"My younger beasts go through a process of evolution. Not only does their appearance change, they become a new species within their line. Instead of food, It can be triggered by the environment, certain items, time of day, a desire to get stronger, or even the bond with their trainer. I'd have guess Houndoom's determination to stop the Robot from hurting me caused him to evolve."

"So Houndoom evolved to protect you? That's sweet of him!" Tina smiled.

But then she sees something.

"Hey, what's that?" She asked getting everyone's attention.

Coming towards them was a multi colored haired male wearing a pink and blue outfit. He appeared to be carrying a gigantic tiger-striped mammoth with one hand.

Then a pack of Gang Hoods appears out of nowhere, hissing at the person.

"AHHH! A Swarm of Gang Hoods! They're ferocious beasts with a vast appetite! They're plan to seize the Regal Mammoth!" Tina yelped.

"He'll be fine." Toriko said still eating the meat.

One of the Gang Hood jump to attack but freeze in its spot as he fell down along with his swarm of Gang hood, passed out completely.

'He knocked them? How? I thought I saw a sliver of something...' Kimiko thought.

But then the man stopped and then threw the Regal Mammoth at them. Everyone then panicked and moved out of the way except Mansam who caught the Mammoth.

"Ah, I'm sorry, is that heavy? but nice catch, Chief" he said, "'S expected, your brute strength hasn't weakened one bit, apparently. However, it lacked beauty." the comment got everyone's attention.

"The way that you caught it didn't make my heart pound at all. I got no sense of being moved whats'ever. I mean, you're bowlegged, clumsy-looking, unattractive, you sorta give an impression of 'just get out of my sight!'"

'Ok, that killed the moment...' Kimiko twitched.

"Hey Sani! Don't just toss our essential Treasure Food!" Mansam yelled

"He's the Heavenly King Sani?" Tina said, "WHAT!" She exclaimed as Sani floated to them

"You know, I've kindly brought this all the way here, I'd like to be thanked." Sani jump from the spot he stood up to get closer, Then glance over at Toriko. "Hey. Long time, Toriko~ Hmm….your cells are more vitalized than the last time I saw you…the elasticity of your skin is high as well. It's evident that you're eating good stuff."

"Hey, Hey, Sani. Don't go touching my skin all over the place, it's creepy!" Toriko rubbing his left cheek in annoyance.

Then Sani seemed to pause and look over to Rin.

"RIN, What…" Sani gasped as he notice his sister, "Hell are these clay pipe-like legs! And the fat under the skin is insane! You're only eating sweet stuff, aren't you!" Sani start to chagrined his sister.

"Like, I don't want to hear it from a girly brother like you!" Rin yelled.

"Like, Shut up, and like, it doesn't really have anything to do with you! And like, I don't want to have anything to do with such a man-like sister!" Sani yelled back.

"Those two are siblings? Not even I fight with my brother and sister this much..." Kimiko said.

While Toriko said that he used his feelers, Sani took a glance at Kimiko and he eyes widened a bit.

"My, for your age, your skin is fairly adequate and I can tell you stay fit by being outside all the time." He said.

"Uh thanks. I've done so my whole life. I'm Kimiko and this is Empoleon." She said, unsure what to expect.

'A gourmet tamer like Rin?' "Hm? I can see you take good care of your partner. Their coat is nice and healthy too." Sani smiled.

Empoleon looked creeped out as he shielded Kimiko.

"Except him" Mansam nodded at Terry who stood a distance.

"Terry!" Toriko smiled.

"I see….The Battle wolf…only he reacted to my 'touch'. My 'touch' that not even animals of strong alertness become aware of at all…" Sani smirks. "It'd be promising if it were on our side, but.."

"No need to worry." Mansam yelled, still holding Regal Mammoth above him. "He's Toriko's partner! I'm having them work together right away! The target is the 'Regal Mammoth'!"

"Wha~…Um..I caught the Regal, Didn't I…?" Sani blinked in confused.

"No you didn't! This one's is a lost child! The mama is super sized compared to him!"

"Eh?" Sani blanked

"What?" Toriko said

"You're kidding me...!" Tina said with a pale face.

"Empole...!"

"This is a child?!" Kimiko said, 'Just how big is an adult?!'
----------------
Oh ain't this the plain of black grass. Black Carpet!" He said as he looked at the landscape

"This is amazing. I've never seen this much Black Carpet!" Tina exclaimed as she filmed.

"What do you usually eat?" Sani asked Kimiko.

"Usually? I just eat normal stuff." Kimiko shrugged.

"Normal? That's no good. You need to pick more dec'nt foods with vitamins and collagen in them. Later I'll treat you to my Full Course" He said his face a couple centimeters away from Komatsu.

"Sani's Full Course!?" Tina exclaimed as Sani started to list his Full Course Menu

Hors-D'oeuvr: Beautiful Skin Caviar (Capture level 30)
Soup: Charis Lobster soup (Capture level 19)
Fish Dish: Skin whitening Tuna (Capture level 25)
Meat Dish: Perfect Beauty Cattle (Capture level 21)
Main: -
Salad: Mochi skin bean sprouts (Capture level 15)
Dessert: -
Drink: Charis Dragon Scale Sake (Capture level 35)

"I haven't decided about the Main Course of the Dessert, but they're all beautiful dishes aren't they"

"Beautiful Skin Caviar, Skin Whitening Tuna, and Smooth Skin Bean Sprouts. Those are a lot of ingredients that are great for the skin, which many girls adore." she exclaimed and then made the camera record her face, "Just what you'd expect from the Heavenly King Sani"

"You changed your personality in front of the camera again!" Kimiko yelled then sighed. "I dont see what the deal is, worrying about looks."

"Then why is it, that you don't really consider your appearance?" Sani asked

"Never bothered." she explained.

"Well, the strawhat throws me off. Plus, it looks like its been through a lot. Why not get rid-ack!" Sani said only to get punched.

"I'll tell you now. No. Dissing. The hat." Kimiko said in a steely tone, as she put it on her head.

"Hey I wouldn't listen to the Picky Eater of the Four Heavenly Kings" Kimiko giggled causing Sani to blush, "I don't guarantee that those things'll be tasty." Toriko said.

"Shut up Toriko!" Sani yelled, "So how's your Full Course goin?"

"Only got dessert decided." Toriko said as he plucked some black grass and ate it.

"The hell? Even though you look for more ingredients than any of us, you're totally indecisive! So... you're still thinking of that as your main?" the comment made Kimiko, Tina and Empoleon wonder what he was talking about

"Toriko! There's a Cocomayo tree" Rin exclaimed getting Toriko's attention and everyone else's.

"And he ignored me..." Sani said.

"Itadakimasu" Toriko said as he put mayo on the black grass and ate it,

"Mmmm. The crunchiness of Black Grass goes well with the Cocomayo sauce."

Rin blushed only to see Toriko turn to Kimiko. "Here, try some."

"Oh, thanks.....oh! This is good! Here Empoleon." The chef said as she shared some with her partner. 

"I'm going to try to add more flavor to it" he put down his back pack and took out what looked like to be a red gauntlet. "Lemme try this out"

"What is that?" Kimiko asked as Toriko put some spices in the hand and started to pull the pump at the end.

"I've never seen that kind of portable spic cookware. Is that a Gourmet Spicer?" She asked.

"Yup, you can have it if you want" he handed him the spicer

"Eh? Are you sure?"

"You're a chef, ain'cha? Then aren't you better off carrying this than me" He said as Kimiko took the spicer

"Thank you so much! I'm really going to make some delicious food with this, Toriko-san!"

"Great" he said before eating again

"Though where did you get this? Is it a new model?!"

"Huh? I dunno? It was lying around the Gourmet Research Lab"

"Then it's probably a prototype" Rin said

"Eh?! Is it really okay to take it?" Tina asked as Toriko to see Terry far away from the group.

"Terry. How about you come over here with us!" he frowned when Terry didn't move.

"You've got your guard up, don't you? " Toriko looked at Sani, "Hurry up and pull your Touches in. Aren't you getting tired"

"Well, he might need to." Kimiko said getting their attention, "I think there's one of those things that showed up in the Colosseum around here somewhere"

"Yeah, there's probably GT Robos here." Toriko said, Terry's barking snapped them out of their conversation

"Toriko" Sani said, making everyone turn to see 3 gigantic rock monsters.

"Those are-" the beast roared

Rockdrum (giant Crustacean Beast)- Capture Level 27

"Rockdrums! They're beasts who usually inhabit the beach, but when they need more food they search inland. They destroy anything in their path in order to eat!" Tina explained

"You sure know a lot" Toriko said

"It comes with the job" the beast roared making Kruppoh inflate itself and Tina tremble, "although this is the first time I've seen one!"

"It looks hungry..." Kimiko said.

"Get back" Toriko said, "Sani, cover me"

"Don't wanna"

"WHAT?!"

"Too much of a pain"

"How much pain it's going to be isn't exactly a problem." Rin said

"These creatures are not choosy with their food, there's completely no beauty in them"

"But the meat's a delicacy. Defeating them is good enough!"

"Does it have nutrients and richness? Then there's no reason"

"Meet me halfway at least!"

"TORIKO!" Kimiko yelled. He turned to see the Rockdrum attack him only to be hit in the face by Terry.

"Terry!" Toriko exclaimed with a smile.

Another Rockdrum attempted to attack but....

"Dragonair! Secret Power!" Kimiko said as Dragonair came out and took down the Rockdrum with a Vine Whip.

"The bigger they are the harder they fall." Kimiko smiled.

"Impressive." Toriko said.

'Dragonair the Dragon Beast, a Dragon Type, the Evolved form of Dratini. Capture Level: Unknown.
Dragonair emits a gentle aura that gives it a mystical appearance. It is said to make its wings grow larger in order to fly, but otherwise moves through the air unaided. Dragonair hosts a large amount of energy within its body, which it can discharge through the crystals on its neck and tail. This causes its body to brighten and give off a different aura that changes the weather in its vicinity. As a result, Dragonair has been referred as a "divine beast" since ancient times by agricultural peoples. Dragonair is a rare being that inhabits pristine seas and lakes. The lakes Dragonair lives in are usually filled with offerings from people in gratitude. It is said that a person who sees a Dragonair at the start of a year will be healthy for the whole year.'

"Amazing!" Tina said.

Sani watched from his place and is enthralled by Dragonair.

'Its appearance, color, and even aura! An epitome of ethereal beauty!' He thought.

"I'm not letting Terry or that Tamer get all of Toriko's smiles." Rin yelled
"Super Relaxation!" she fired a pink smoke at the Rockdrum and then noticed that.........'Crumbs, that was Battle Fragrance!' That's when the Rockdrum stood up and started to go after Rin.

"Rin-san!" Kimiko said grabbing a Pokeball. The Rockdrum was about to smash Rin when it was sent back

"Ah, sorr'. Did I overdo thatta bit? But, well, it's reaping what it's sown. That last glimpse of being blown away was beautiful" Rin was so happy that he saved her, but was depressed when she found out that he just wanted the rockdrum shell.

"Sani, behind you" Kimiko yelled as the rockdrum was behind Sani

"Pasta by itself is only worth a few dozen yen, but when it is put into the hands of a professional chef it instantly goes up to a thousand yen, the pasta becomes mouthwatering. It is no illusion or mind trick. It is simply... 'collaboration' Beauty is harmony! Simply searching for ingredients is nonsense! As a matter of fact, it's the height of vulgarity! GOT IT, YOU GUYS!"

"That was aimed at us!" The chef exclaimed as Empoleon frowned and Dragonair looked confused.

"Now just fall beautifully" Sani said as the beast swung its' arm at him

"Fry Gaeshi" the Rockdrum was sent back throwing up dust and rocks making everyone duck for cover.

"What's your attack range, Sani?"

"Huh? That's right... about 25 meters"

"So your Dining Kitchen got bigger huh?" Toriko said before grabbing Kimiko and running for cover, followed by her Pokemon. She and Tina watched in amazement as Sani used his Fry Gaeshi and Hair Lock to subdue the Rockdrum.

"Wow, Sani is incredible!" Kimiko said making jealously rise in Toriko.

'Wait, why am I being jealous of him?' He suddenly thought.
