But first, he had to show her how to eat properly. On the surface of that, it would seem to be easy. After all, it didn't take a lot of thought to do such a thing.
It was harder than it sounded.
"Misty?" Ash hopefully murmured, "You're supposed to use that fork to pick up the food."
The pokegirl, not wanting to fail on her first day, blinked and looked at the piece of metal in her hand.
"Yes, that. You use it to pick up your food with, got it?"
She blinked slightly and used the odd device to pick up the food as she'd been told.
"Good. And now you eat it," her trainer told her.
Doing exactly as she'd been told, Misty raised the fork up... and picked the food off with her fingers before popping it into her mouth.
"Gah... No, no. You're supposed to put the flat part of the fork in your mouth."
