#thankfully not to the point where they're backtracking but it drives a wedge between them and chatot

thinking about pmd2 hero being weird about the meals at the guild at first. they're so used to having to eat small and rationing food because food was limited with it only being able to appear in dungeons in the future and those were always dangerous to traverse, especially as a human. it became second nature to them so it affects them even after losing their memories. it's just the natural way of things.

partner and chimecho take note that hero is skinnier and smaller than pokemon of their species usually are (which is especially apparent with munchlax) and that they seem to leave a big portion of their dinner behind. they try to encourage them to eat more, with partner reassuring them that it's okay and chimecho trying out different meals in case it's a diet restriction. seeing that it's okay, hero slowly starts to eat more and more off their plate until they able to finish it off. they become a healthy weight and have more energy, and partner chimecho are both relieved and also incredibly proud of them.
