Keep Learning, Keep Training

"Yeah, it's difficult to find stuff that keeps you motivated. I'm glad you were able to find something to keep you going, you definitely have that uh, "fire ablaze" aura." Soft nod follows his statement, ghost of a smile dancing across his lips whilst Kabu looked at the ceiling.

After nodding his head he commented, "I do have some experience with it. When it's the offseason for the gym challenge sometimes I make food and either post the process of me making it and also the finished product on my social media account."

Not a difficult question by any means, but it had him contemplating. After practically ordering everything off the menu to put in his hot pot, he'd lean back in his chair. At his age barely anything motivated him outside of food and getting his paycheck; he certainly wasn't like Rika or Hassel who had a drive and wants...well, that weren't just simple things like food.

"I don't think my life is that exciting honestly, to me it's very routine. I'm not saying I dislike my job, I love being a gym leader. But the hardest thing at times is to find the kindling to keep the fire ablaze. Especially when you're at rock bottom like I was a few years ago. But I overcame that, and I am more resilient now because of it." He then sighed looking up, remembering that time and feeling grateful that he's in a better place now.

Nothing ever excited Larry anymore; after spending so much time within the work force, his eagerness and excitement for finally earning his own money fizzled. Once an eager youth, he'd now become a tired older man who's only ever joy came from food. Kabu had plenty of things that made him happy, it almost made Larry jealous.

"Mm, I didn't take you for a "foodie" or whatever term they throw around." Well, it's still nice to know more facts about his friend. A small nod as he quietly walks into the restaurant, flagging down a waitress and getting the two of them a table.

Maybe when he visited Paldea again, more specifically Medali he would visit the restaurant Larry enjoyed and try the food for himself to see how tasty it was.

"That sounds very good…I think I would enjoy it," Kabu comments with a smile. As he orders the ingredients he wants to add in his hot pot, he asks "What fuel keeps your fire ablaze? I mean, what motivates you to keep on going? I know that your job is tough, and because of that I want you to have a good time here and enjoy yourself."

If anything, he's surprised his status as a "foodie" or whatever people referred to him as. Kofu seemed to throw that term around quite a bit whenever he came into his restaurant, and it seems like his reputation spread to other regions. "Diets never really appealed to me... There's so much food out there that I want to try, I wouldn't want to limit it.. Though- your will to keep going with yours at your age is commendable..."

As he was walking, he contemplated what Larry said. From his impression of him Kabu felt like that he was tired and overworked and that food was something that made him happy, especially when he stated that there was so much food that he wanted to try. Kabu felt the same way, he enjoyed trying different cuisines on his travels although he still strictly stuck to his training routine.

Kabu wanted Larry to relax and also he wanted to get to know him more, since to him talking while eating tasty food was the best way for him to do so. There seemed to be more to Larry and Kabu was curious.

"I could never work with Fire types, they're all too flashy for my liking.. I remember hearing of a kid from that school who's big on Fire types, but I haven't encountered her. Though, I wonder what a normal type uniform would look like..."

As he listened to Larry, Kabu nodded his head and smiled. "I understand, and yes it would definitely be better if you went in there not expecting anything especially what the ingredients you can use. I don't go there too often since for me due to my training I'm on a diet, but there's times where I enjoy going there to treat myself or others like you. I heard from other people that you're a foodie, so I know that you'll love it! Follow me."
