[Marik slings an arm over Kaiba's shoulder and waves his other to show the array of shops available to them.]
Kaiba, Kaiba. You're allowed to be greedy with me. We could go for surf and turf if you wanted. If you want pub food though, I can work with that. A pity neither of us are old enough to drink... We both deserve a toast to our success! You in particular for your journey as a trainer. You've beaten Johto, got a dragon ranch, and traversed Mt. Silver!
[He looks around, trying to decide which place looks the best.]
So are burger and fries what you want to go with? We could go with that place right there.
[Looks more classy than an average sports bar. Some place you'd see a local band play at on the weekends, sort of like a microbrewery.]
Start a business. Then you don't need to worry about age.
[Marik chuckles.]
Pub food is definitely the way to go if you want that.
[They walk into the pub and get a table big enough for them and their pokemon. Marik sits down and waits until Kaiba's comfortable before answering his question.]
I haven't yet. You're far better with advertisement... Got any tips for me?
[ Pub sounds good! King looks pleased, and Kaiba is definitely ready to fill up. Sakuma just wobbles curiously, not yet having tasted greasy wonders. ]
Mm. Your main selling point is speed, right? And you want the Cyclizar to look as sleek as possible. I'd find a flat stretch of land to shoot on...the lands around Lavender should be fine. Climb up on a flying Pokémon and film it running from the air. It'll take some trial and error to get the angle right, but it'll catch eyes.
[Oba doesn't get to indulge in greasy food much either but he burbles happily to Sakuma to tell her she's in for a treat! They can share a dish!]
Hmm... Maybe Chen can record it while I ride Chafu? To show they're safe and easy to handle for people to ride. That's part of why I picked Lavender. You've got the Cycling Road off to the west, and then the Bridge of Silence to the east. Cyclizar can stop on a dime and are much better at navigating the docks than a bicycle.
[Save him from making a truly cringey commercial that won't kill his player from second hand embarrassment, Kaiba.]
Mm. We could film on the docks. We could go late afternoon after the fishermen leave, so we don't disturb their catches. Sunset lighting would be tricky, but if it worked...
[ Everyone's happy! The delicious smells fill the air, and he's definitely pleased with this. ]
The image you're selling needs to be as attractive as possible. It might take a few shoots, but we'll get it done.
That way it can show the Cyclizar's ability to maneuver. Hmm... Maybe a short intro explaining the point of the Dealership then cut to being on the docks?
[Oba burbles at Marik to let him "read" the menu even if he doesn't know how to read and can only tell by the photos.]
Eh? Don't worry. I know what to get you, Sakuma, and King to split.

We'll see you soon, then.
As for food...I want to be greedy, but you came a long way for me. Anything other than trail mix and jerky sounds good right about now.
Greasy pub food might do it.

[ Grumble, grumble. That's still ridiculous. But he cracks a small smile and turns toward the attractive-looking pub. ]
I can always go back to steak tomorrow. Tonight I just want to feel full---haven't in a while.
[ He didn't go hungry, exactly, but it wasn't the most filling of meals. ]
Hm. As far as your business...have you filmed any commercials yet?
