The children dig into their meals, but the assortment of flavors in it leaves them confused at how to describe how it tastes like. Nandi and Mokichi get into an argument regarding Mokichi’s way of preparing the meal in a thoughtless fashion of piling together random stuff. Dot, meanwhile, discovers udon at the bottom of the meal, which she finds very tasty. Nandi and Mokichi reveal that the noodles were made by Kingambit, who excels at any job that requires a lot of muscle. As the group’s Pokémon get their own sets of Anything Meals, Liko questions the reason behind the dish’s extravagant nature. Nandi explains that they are trying to not get shown up by the Treasure Eatery, the biggest and most popular restaurant in Medali, which has started to drain away even some of their old regulars. As such, they came up with the Anything Meal to compete with the Treasure Eatery’s menu, though they end up tossing everything into a single bowl to make it easier for Kingambit to carry. Mokichi prepares to make more, only to notice that his iron griddle is missing. Noticing that Tinkatink is also missing, Dot fears the worst and rushes outside to, indeed, find Tinkatink having just finished fashioning the griddle into a new hammer. To pay up for the lost griddle, the children are put work at the restaurant for the rest of the day, with Liko helping to clean the place up, Roy going outside to advertise the Anything Eatery alongside Kingambit, and Dot heading out to buy a new griddle. Roy questions Dot’s decision to take Tinkatink along, considering what happened with the previous griddle, but Dot isn’t worried, knowing that Tinkatink has an eye for good quality iron, so the griddle that she finds interesting is bound to be a good one. Liko is surprised to see Dot being more in-tune with Tinkatink than she expected, but the realization also makes her happy.
