Pokémon Adventures
Scarlet & Violet arc
Treasure Eatery first appeared in PASV17, where Penny was seen there, remotely observing Clive's discussion with Team Star over at Schedar Squad's Base via one of her Rotom Phones, when another group of Team Star Grunt entered the restaurant. Belonging to a group of delinquent students who had joined Team Star just to benefit from being part of the winning team, they took the two of the team's five bases being raided as a sign of what could be coming and decided to initiate a plan to raid the remaining bases themselves in order to take control of Team Star. Overhearing this conversation through one of her Rotom Phones, Penny attempted to leave, but was spotted by the Grunts, who realized she had been eavesdropping. Before they could do anything to her, however, Larry came to return Penny's Rotom Phone to her, feeling that since he has all three of his daily meals at the restaurant, it'd be a big inconvenience for him if the ruckus caused it to be closed down temporarily. The Grunts tried to attack Larry, but were swiftly defeated, allowing Penny to get away, though the leading Grunt decided to secretly follow her.
In PASV19, Violet and Arven stopped by at Treasure Eatery to feed themselves before they'd head to the Asado Desert to fight the Quaking Earth Titan. However, upon entering the restaurant, they learned from the staff that the place was closed after they had lost contact with their junior since he left to get ingredients from Porto Marinada by crossing through the Asado Desert. Hearing this, Violet offered to help, as he was already planning to go fight the Quaking Earth Titan anyway. Based on his words, Larry recognized Violet as the person who was rumored to have defeated the Stony Cliff, Open Sky, and Lurking Steel Titans. Wanting to gauge Violet's strength to see if he was indeed as strong as the rumors said he was, he challenged Violet to a battle while introducing himself as the Gym Leader of Medali.
Although Violet was reluctant to waste time by challenging Larry, the Gym Leader made sure Violet didn't flee and registered for the Gym mission. In PASV20, once he had completed the mission, Violet and Larry's battle started at Treasure Eatery's indoor battlefield. Thanks to Violet having taught useful moves to his Pokémon using TMs, he was able to defeat Larry, who rewarded him with a Gym Badge and gave him his blessing to go fight the Titan.
