Marnie 	Calm down, Gloria. Look how gobsmacked <player> is.
Gloria 	Sorry! I'm just so happy to see you!
Marnie 	*sigh*Sorry 'bout that, <player>. Actually, we've been lookin' for you.
Gloria 	Yeah! Marnie and I are going to open a pop-up eatery on the beach!We're going to call it...Dine-A-Max!
Marnie 	I'm not as keen on the idea, what with it bein' so hot outside...but Gloria really wants to do it.
Gloria 	Thanks, Marnie!That's why we were looking for you—because we need your help!We have permission from Sawyer to set up shop, so all we need now is a few more people to help us out!If you're OK with joining our team, come find us at the beach!
Marnie 	Yeah... If you can, come help us out a bit.
Gloria 	We hope to see you there!

Gloria 	Our beachside pop-up, Dine-A-Max, is open for business!
Marley 	Mallow, we have two orders... One Z-Set and one curry, please.
Mallow 	Thanks for stopping by! I'll whip those up in no time!
Beauty 	Hmm... What do you recommend I try?
Marnie 	Um... Well...
Gloria 	We've got just the thing for you! Why don't you try our order roulette?
Beauty 	What's that?
Gloria 	I'm glad you asked! My Inteleon, which traveled around Galar with me, is a crack-shot sniper with Water Gun!This order roulette is a brand-new way of ordering food that showcases his talents!We'll spin the roulette wheel and have Inteleon take a shot at it to place your order!Each section of the wheel is a different menu item! We've got Z-Sets, curry, Rage Candy Bars...And last but not least, “On the House”! Hit that spot, and you'll get any menu item you choose for free!
Beauty 	Oh my! What a deal!
Gloria 	Inteleon is gonna keep his aim steady on a set point. All you have to do is let him know when you want him to shoot!
Beauty 	OK! I'll give it a try!
Gloria 	One roulette order, coming up!Good luck!: Here goes the roulette! Give us the signal!Ready... Start!: And off it spins! Give us the signal!
Beauty 	Now!
Mallow 	Whoa! That's amazing!
Gloria 	You hit "On the House"!
Beauty 	Wonderful! Then...I'll have a Z-Set, please!
Marnie 	Gloria's amazin'. I've gotta step up my game.She's made good use of Inteleon's best skills... So maybe Grimmsnarl and I can do the same!
Preschooler 	I wanna order, pwease!
Marnie 	Huh? Oh, sure. What would ya like?
(The Preschooler notices Marley's Grimmsnarl) 	(The Preschooler notices Marley's Grimmsnarl)

Gloria 	Marnie, what's wrong?
Marnie 	Gloria! I, uh...
Gloria 	It's OK! Marnie, could you help out over there for a bit? I'll take care of this kid!

Marnie 	Watch this.Why can't I smile right? I've gotta do better than this!
??? 	Hi, Marnie.
(Marley appears) 	(Marley appears)
Marley 	Are you...practicing how to smile?
Marnie 	Yeah. I wanna learn how to smile like Gloria, though I know it's silly to try at this point...
Marley 	I wouldn't think that at all! Look at how hard you're working!That little girl who cried earlier today was just a little startled—that's all.
Marnie 	Thanks, Marley.But I think it's important to smile if you're workin' in front of customers!
Marley 	You're such a hard worker, Marnie.I'm not good at expressing myself, either. So I think I understand how you feel.
Marnie 	Hey, Marley? What made you decide to help us run Dine-A-Max?
Marley 	Well... I figured it'd be more fun to give it a try rather than just turn it down because I'm not good at it.
Marnie 	Huh, I guess that's the same as me.
Marley 	Would you mind if...if I practiced smiling with you?
Marnie 	Please do! Can I ask ya for some advice while you're here?
Marley 	*chuckle* Sure. I'll do what I can!
Marnie 	What was that? Sounded like it was comin' from our pop-up!

Masked Man 	Yeah! Break it all!
Marnie 	Hey, cut it out! Why are ya doin' this?
Masked Woman 	Oh, it's you!
Masked Man 	None of your business! Machamp, keep breaking that!

Masked Man 	Ack! Noooooo! Machamp!
Marnie 	I'll ask ya again: Why are ya doin' this?
Masked Man 	W-we were trying to reform ourselves!We worked really hard to build a beachside pop-up, all on our own!
Masked Woman 	But then you all came along and stole all of our customers...I mean...we know it's not right...but with our sales dropping so much, we didn't know what else to do...
Masked Man 	I'm sorry! If you're gonna punish someone for this, punish me! It was my idea, not hers!
Marley 	Marnie...these people are feeling bad for what they did.
Marnie 	Yeah, I know. I can tell, 'cause I know some people who're just like 'em...Y'know what?I've got an idea for how I can help ya.Leave it to me!

Marnie 	Sorry to keep ya waitin'!
Gloria 	Good morning! There's a lot we need you to prep...
Marnie 	Sorry! We've got some new plans, actually...Starting today, Marley and I are gonna be helpin' out Team Break with their pop-up!
Mallow 	What?
Marnie 	I've found somethin' that I wanna do.
Mallow 	What's up with you all of a sudden? Why are y—
Gloria 	It's OK, Mallow! I'm sure Marnie has a good reason.
Mallow 	I guess, but...
Marnie 	Sorry, Mallow. It's not that I dislike workin' here at Dine-A-Max or anythin'...It's just...I wanna compete with Gloria on my own terms!Course, that's not the only reason. But it is true that I wanna challenge you!From this point on, we're rivals!We're gonna have a proper showdown, and I'm not holdin' back!
Gloria 	Yeah, I understand! It's a challenge! And I don't plan on losing!
Marnie 	Neither do I!

Name 	Text
Mallow 	I see... So all that happened last night, huh?I get her reason for leaving us, but...I don't think helping out a rival eatery is the right solution here.If you're running a business, there's always going to be some competition to get customers.But if you stop to help every single store that runs into problems along the way, you might get run out of business yourself!And even if that Team Break pop-up gets its customers back, that's just temporary. It might not last forever!
Gloria 	I know what you mean, Mallow.But I think I understand Marnie's feelings, too.How so?: Because we're both from Galar...and we're each other's rival!Yeah! Because you're rivals!: Yup! We're both from Galar, and we're each other's rival!That's why I think I understand where she's coming from.I know that those Team Break members were doing something wrong.But I think they really were doing their best to make their pop-up succeed!I bet that reminded Marnie of the people back in Spikemuth.She loves them a lot, and they're quite similar to Team Break, if you think about it! So of course she would offer to help them out!I love how kind she is!
Mallow 	*sigh* I'd say you're pretty kind, too, for letting her leave us like that.Oh well! Guess we just have to carry on, then!We'll have to do our very best on our end, too!
Marley 	I'll see you later. I have to join Marnie now.
Gloria 	Oh, hold on a second!Could you pass on a message to Marnie for me?
(Transition to Team Break's pop-up)	(Transition to Team Break's pop-up)
Masked Man 	Welcome, welcome! We've got some tasty Z-Noodles for you to slurp right up!
Marnie 	Welcome, welcome!

Masked Man 	Boss, your smile looks kinda stiff...
Marnie 	... ... ...
Masked Man 	I-it's OK! You're still charming just as you are now!
Marnie 	Thanks...*sigh* Why can't I do it right...I was so confident, and I even declared that we were rivals and left the other pop-up...But I still can't make a single good smile...No—I have to! Otherwise, I can't face Gloria!
Marley 	"You can't force a smile.""You can find other ways to get more customers. Ways that are better suited for you!"Gloria told me to tell you that.
Marnie 	Gloria? Even though I'm the one who challenged her?
Marley 	I think that's exactly why she's telling you this.She also wants to compete with everything she's got. That's why she's giving you this advice.You two really are great rivals for each other.
Marnie 	Thanks, Marley. I think Gloria would be happy to hear that, too.
Marley 	I was wondering... Is there anything that makes you smile naturally?
Marnie 	Yeah, of course.Oi! Is your Machamp doin' anythin' right now?
Masked Man 	Nope. No customers are here yet, so he's just loafing around. What're you thinking?
Marnie 	Isn't it obvious? I've thought of somethin' that's sure to bring in loads of customers!
Masked Man 	What do you mean?
Marnie 	Well, obviously I mean that we're gonna show everyone some intense Pokémon battles!

Gloria 	Hey, Marnie! You did great today!
Marnie 	Thanks. You too.
Gloria 	That idea you had to set up a Pokémon battle viewing area was great!You're amazing!
Marnie 	I only thought of it 'cause of your advice, Gloria.Y'know how everyone in Galar loves to watch a proper match between Dynamax Pokémon?My big bro and I have always tried to show everyone that even if ya can't Dynamax, ya can still have really amazin' battles.I remembered that...an' it inspired me to set that all up!
Gloria 	Are you going to help them out again tomorrow?
Marnie 	No, I think they'll be fine on their own now.Tomorrow, I want to work with you again, an' we're gonna get everyone excited about our pop-up!But don't you worry—I'll make sure to bring in as many customers as you do!
Gloria 	Right back at ya!We've come here all the way from Galar, after all! Let's have some fun and make tons of memories this summer!
