Chapter 183:
Aura Gift?
Hayashi Kaede felt his heart stir upon seeing this.
In his mind, the value of Aura power was in no way inferior to Psychic power!
Ever since obtaining Psychic power last time, Hayashi Kaede had been thinking: since he already had Veridian power and Psychic power, would he be able to get other kind of powers in the future.
Humans in the Pokémon world could comprehend even more powers. Such as Transcendence power, Aura power, Heart power... and so on.
However, the one Hayashi Kaede most desired after gaining Psychic power was still Aura power.
With Aura, he could monitor his entire Breeding House in all aspects. For this, he had even considered whether he should try to please Uncle Genmu's Lucario to see if he could obtain Aura power!
But he went twice, and Lucario wasn't there; it was guarding the forest. Therefore, he could only leave some fruits and vegetables and return regretfully.
"The stronger the tea, the higher the probability?"
Reading the description, Hayashi Kaede poured out the first cup of the world leaf tea.
You couldn't see the color in the pot, but after pouring, you could see the tea was actually emerald green, looking very fresh and refreshing.
Hayashi Kaede lifted the tea cup and took a deep breath.
"God bless me, may fortune be with me! Give me Aura!"
In Hayashi Kaede's experience, the probability for "certain probability" dishes was generally not high!
He then blew on it to cool it slightly and downed it in one gulp.
"Whoa... so bitter?"
That was Hayashi Kaede's first impression after drinking this tea. But immediately after the initial bitterness came a sweet aftertaste, a refreshing feeling, as if his whole body had been cleansed.
These weren't the key points; Hayashi Kaede was just complaining.
He was more concerned about the effects the dish would bring him.
After a good while, Hayashi Kaede tried to sense the power within his body and felt half his heart turn cold.
Aside from Psychic power and Veridian Power, there was no trace of any other power.
Which meant, in matters like this, he was still unlucky.
Five culinary effects, only one was useful to him: making other beings more likely to have a more favorable affinity with him
"Sigh..."
He sighed silently, didn't dwell on it, and instead sealed the pot, planning to let everyone have a taste later.
See which lucky one could comprehend Aura... no, to be more specific make progress with Aura.
Because from what he understood, all things had Aura; it was just a matter of strength and whether it could be utilized.
Next was cooking.
A slight movement came from behind; Hayashi Kaede understood intuitively.
These days, because the construction team was still here, he couldn't handle the food alone. Every day around this time, Gardevoir needed to come help.
For the construction workers and their Pokémon, Hayashi Kaede specifically selected foods that could speed up stamina recovery and boost energy.
This surprise the construction team and they even commented, "It's strange. I originally thought this house would take two or three months, but now it looks like it'll be done in two months at most. Everyone's motivation is so high."
Hayashi Kaede just smiled without saying a word.
....
An hour later, at the dining table in the garden.
Combusken today was very fidgeting impatiently as it wait at its dining table, frequently looking back toward the kitchen behind it.
It was wondering, what could that incredibly fragrant thing it smelled today be?
Also expectantly waiting was Alolan Vulpix, sitting with its group of partners of the Eevees and Goodra.
As more and more Pokémon joined, the original "cafeteria" area, which one pavilion had been enough for, now had to be expanded.
Fortunately, the construction team was here during this period, so Hayashi Kaede asked them to help build several dining tables of different types and sizes for convenience, so each Pokémon had a suitably sized table.
They also built small sheds for shade, but some Pokémon didn't need to specifically come here to eat. For example, Miltank preferred to stay quietly in their shed.
And Combee were even more interesting; they would ingest Honey while gathering nectar.
When Pokémon or Hayashi Kaede saw this while stopping in the Berry Plantation, kaede couldn't help but remark, "Enjoy your meal."
"Alcremie?" (You look very happy?)
The Alcremie, led by Indeedee (little sister), came to the dining table. One of them, seeing Combusken frequently looking back, couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Combusken!" (We are going to eat! Of course I'm happy!)
Combusken replied as a matter of course.
Who wouldn't be happy about eating?
Then, looking at the sweet, delicious Alcremie before it, it raised its own bowl and placed it in front of the Alcremie. "Combusken..." (Some cream, please... I'm so hungry....)
"Alcremie...."
The Alcremie felt it shouldn't have started the conversation. In the end, it left a bit of its own cream and trotted over to Alolan Vulpix. "Alcremie?" (What are you all talking about?)
"Vulpix?"
Alolan Vulpix turned and saw it was the sweet-smelling partner from the room, so it said directly, "Vulpix!" (I smelled a fragrance in the kitchen earlier that I've never smelled before. That means there's new delicious food!)
"Alcremie...." (New delicious food...)
Hearing this, the Alcremie immediately felt anticipation for the new delicious food. It called out to the little sister Indeedee, "Alcremie~"
Indeedee (little sister) understood, came over, carefully picked up the Alcremie, and carried it to the special flat little table for Alcremie and Bounsweet. "Indeedee."
Once there, the Alcremie first announced this good news to the other Alcremie, then thanked Indeedee (little sister) for bringing it over. "Alcremie~" (Thank you~)
"Indeedee~" Indeedee (little sister), collecting gratitude emotions, smiled even wider.
It had to be said, before, it was really difficult for Alcremie and Bounsweet to move around because they were small and not very mobile.
A distance that other Pokémon could cover in a few steps might take them minutes, even over ten minutes, to traverse.
They used to need to ask Gardevoir for help. But Gardevoir was sometimes too busy to always be by their side.
Now, with Indeedee siblings here, these problems were much easier.
Just then, a blood-red shadow streaked across the sky. The Alcremie, who had just been happily discussing what they might eat today, immediately huddled together, timidly looking at the blood-red shadow descending from the sky.
Without a doubt, this was Salamence.
There was no helping it; its initial appearance was too frightening. On its first day at mealtime, it had scared the Alcremie terribly.
Although its expression was much better now, the first impression it left on the Alcremie was too deep, so everyone was still afraid of it.
Fortunately, at that moment, Hayashi Kaede and Gardevoir also emerged from the kitchen.
"The tea is here!"
