Chapter 281:
[B+ Grade Forgetfulness Dumplings (Boiled) – After eating, allows the consumer to temporarily forget their own ability.
Dish Effect 1: After eating, the consumer will forget their own ability for 24 hours.]
[B+ Grade Forgetfulness Dumplings (Pan-fried) – After eating, allows the consumer to temporarily forget one of their own moves.
Dish Effect 1: After eating, the consumer will forget one of their moves for 24 hours.]
[B+ Grade Sensitivity Dumplings (Steamed) – After eating, allows the consumer to receive double damage from super-effective attacks for a short time.
Dish Effect 1: After eating, the consumer will receive double damage when hit by super-effective moves for 24 hours.]
Three types of dumplings were laid out before Hayashi Kaede, and his expression gradually turned peculiar.
Three types of dumplings: one makes you forget your own ability, one makes you forget one of your moves, and one doubles the damage you take from super-effective attacks.
Generally speaking, the effects of these three dumplings aren't good for the Pokémon.
Because for most Pokémon, their abilities have positive significance.
For example, Serperior's Overgrow and Contrary.
Overgrow boosts the power of Grass-type moves, and Contrary even turns stat-lowering effects into stat boosts for Special Attack.
But not all abilities are beneficial gains for Pokémon.
For example... the well-known Regigigas.
Its ability is called Slow Start.
He remembers this one quite well.
Hayashi Kaede recalls its in-game description: "For the first five turns, Attack and Speed are halved."
Because in his previous life, when playing Pokémon games, he often used "methods" to change this ability to "Huge Power"...
But in reality, Regigigas's "Slow Start" not only gives it an extremely lazy nature but also means it requires a very long time to mobilize the energy within its body to participate in battles at the start of a fight.
"For specific Pokémon, this is a pretty good dish."
Slaking's Truant is also quite similar.
As for the second type of dumpling,
Hayashi Kaede thought of two good uses as well.
Eating this dumpling makes you forget one move for 24 hours.
And there's no time limit, meaning if you eat several in one day, you can forget most of your moves.
There's a move called Last Resort.
Its description is, "This move can be used only after the user has used all the other moves it knows in the battle."
This move's power is no small matter, almost rivaling Hyper Beam.
Also, if you forget this move and relearn it, would you become more proficient with it?
After 24 hours, when the forgotten move is relearned, would it be mastered more thoroughly?
Hayashi Kaede couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
To be honest, he found both these dumplings useful.
As for the third type...
It's not completely useless either.
Don't forget.
These dumplings can still be sent to the Reverse World. Once they come out, the dish effects will be reversed!
That means the "double damage from super-effective attacks" would become "halve damage from super-effective attacks"?
Then there would be no super-effective weaknesses at all!
"Not bad, not bad..."
He put the remaining three types of dumplings into bags, packed them up, and placed them in the lower part of the refrigerator.
Hayashi Kaede began recording the effects of these three dumpling types in his recipe book.
Then, ignoring Mewtwo's somewhat helpless expression, he had it take the cooked dumplings to deliver to Blaziken, Dragonite, and the others.
He himself rummaged through his system space again and soon found a tea leaf.
Mew hadn't replenished the World Tree tea leaves for a long time, so this was the last one.
"Need to find a chance to have it bring some more back... Speaking of which, where has it been playing with Jirachi for so long without returning?"
Thinking of Mew, Hayashi Kaede couldn't help but mutter.
Then he turned his attention back to this last tea leaf.
Just one tea leaf.
No need to brew it.
He planned to make it into a tea egg.
To embody the concept of "concentrated essence," Hayashi Kaede didn't plan to make many, just one.
"But store-bought eggs always feel a bit lacking..."
Looking at the egg taken from the refrigerator.
Hayashi Kaede thought that next year's chicken coop plan definitely needed to be implemented.
When the time came, he'd have Blaziken lead the chicks, running every day.
Thinking of that scene, Hayashi Kaede found it beautiful...
But after a moment's thought, he put down this egg.
Come to think of it, chicken eggs in the Pokémon world should be among the less nutritious egg-type ingredients.
If he was going to make something specifically for Serperior,
He definitely couldn't use a simple chicken egg.
"Go buy an egg laid by a powerful Blissey!"
Ever since Auntie Mei sent over a Chansey egg last time, the idea of raising a Happiny had surfaced in Hayashi Kaede's mind.
Why?
Because the eggs produced by Pokémon like Chansey have a lucky effect.
And for newborn Pokémon, they are also a very nutritious food.
It's just that Pokémon like Happiny and it's evolution are usually centrally raised in hospitals or Pokémon Centers, and some food processing plants.
Generally, they aren't sold on the market.
But Blissey eggs are still available on the market.
Hayashi Kaede called Rotom.
He checked where in Shoshu Province he could find Blissey.
"Huh? There's a Blissey food processing plant in Nagisuna City?"
Looking at the information Rotom provided, Hayashi Kaede's eyes lit up.
Actually, you could buy Chansey eggs online.
But the ones bought online would definitely be of average quality.
As for the higher quality eggs, most breeders keep them for themselves, give them as gifts, or at the very least, require pre-orders.
This was the case at Uncle Genmu's Miltank Ranch.
The MooMoo Milk produced by his main Miltank was very difficult to sell...
Since he planned to make just one tea egg for Serperior, the egg quality had to be the best!
Hesitating for two or three seconds on the spot, Hayashi Kaede immediately decided to set off right away.
Because as the weather gets colder, Chansey's egg-laying frequency decreases until there's a period with no eggs.
If he didn't go now, he might have to wait until next spring.
"Rotom~ Master, there happens to be a delivery order heading to Nagisuna City~"
At that moment, Rotom, who had been following Hayashi Kaede, suddenly found something and gave key information.
"Alright then, what does he want?"
Hayashi Kaede's eyes lit up too.
This delivery order came just in time!
It gave him a perfect reason.
"It seems he wants MooMoo Milk, ten bottles~!"
"Ehehe... a big customer, huh!"
Hayashi Kaede's eyes sparkled.
Ten bottles of MooMoo Milk would cost nearly six figures.
With that thought, Hayashi Kaede didn't disturb the sleeping Dragonite, Salamence, and the others.
Instead, he took the MooMoo Milk packaged by Indeedee brother from the Breeding House, informed Gardevoir, and then went to the plantation to find Pidgeot.
"Gardevoir...!" (Wear more! It's cold up in the sky!)
Watching Hayashi Kaede rush off, Gardevoir chased after him, couldn't help but stop him, and practically bundled him up like a rice dumpling before letting him leave.
