If Moo Moo Milk and Shroomish Perfume were combined with other ingredients to create dishes, could we test out recipes that boost Flying-type skills or all-attribute skills?

[Pokémon: Pidgeotto]

[Gender: Male]

[Ability: Keen Eye]

[Aptitude: Blue]

[Individual Values: HP (21) Attack (21) Special Attack (20) Defense (17) Special Defense (17) Speed (25)]

[Strength: Level 21-24]

[Skills: Gust, Tackle, Quick Attack, Whirlwind, Air Slash, Steel Wing, Gale Wings, Twister, Mist.]

[Affection: 87 (It finds you very reliable!)]

[Joy Value: 70 (Get stronger, get stronger!)]

After consuming two Rare Candies, Pidgeotto had evolved into an Elite-stage Pokémon.

Additionally, it had received a TM for Mist from Lin Feng.

"You can use Gale Wings on an area, and then see if you can stack Gale Wings within that Gale Wings."

For Pidgeotto's energy control, Lin Feng adopted the same training method as Snivy's Grass Whistle training.

"Pidgey?!"

Pidgeotto looked surprised, as if questioning if this would work.

"Try it. This is your first stage of skill practice. Just keep the range small."

Pidgeotto nodded, flew into the sky, and began flapping its wings.

Whoosh~!

A fierce gale howled, stirring up weeds and trees. The first Gale Wings was fine, but when it tried to stack the second Gale Wings, Pidgeotto's energy quickly became chaotic.

The howling wind vortexes directly canceled each other out, turning into a weak airflow.

Pidgeotto looked at Lin Feng somewhat dejectedly in the air.

Its comprehension wasn't as good as Snivy's.

It couldn't achieve this kind of skill stacking on its own.

"It's okay, just practice slowly. No rush," Lin Feng said, but a new idea formed in his mind.

As expected, it still had to rely on the power of cooking.

Chapter 52: The Dejected Pidgeotto.

The twilight, like a misty veil, cast an orange-yellow glow over the town.

In the sky, An orange-yellow shadow, against the setting sun, tiredly beat its wings as it flew towards a vibrant area.

Finally, it landed on the branch of a tall pine tree, preened its wings with its beak, and its eyes held an unspeakable loneliness.

Throughout the day, Pidgeotto had made no progress on the Trainer's instruction to stack Gale Wings, only managing to churn up the ground.

It didn't doubt the veracity of the Trainer's words about skill stacking.

Having stayed in the plantation for just a few days, Pidgeotto had already realized that this place could accelerate its growth speed by several times, even tens of times.

Moreover, the "sisters" in the plantation, whether Milotic or Snivy, had excellent control over their energy.

Especially Snivy, whose daily use of Grassy Terrain was wider in range and richer in grass energy than the day before.

Was it just too bad?

The thought crossed Pidgeotto's mind.

But among its own species, it had learned Gale Wings relatively early...

It looked down. In the clear stream, Milotic glided through the water, its radiant form appearing even more ethereal and dreamlike in the reflection on the water's surface.

For Milotic, the rather narrow reservoir was still a place where it could swim around with great joy, occasionally poking its head out to glance in the direction of the Pokémon Day Care.

The reservoir and Milotic...

Pidgeotto withdrew its envious gaze, shook its head, and its eyes became resolute again. It scanned its surroundings, preventing any Rattata from entering the plantation.

Inside the Pokémon Day Care, Lin Feng silently looked at the Energy Cube before him.

[A-Rank Sand Scale Energy Cube - Created using Sand Scale Fruit, Moo Moo Milk, and Shroomish Perfume. A unique idea.

Cooking Effect 1: After consumption, Flying-type Pokémon will have their skill comprehension ability temporarily increased.

Cooking Effect 2: Long-term consumption can significantly boost Speed Individual Values and make the feathers of bird-type Pokémon more resilient.]

Lin Feng had already spent a full day in the kitchen.

In that one day, he didn't know how many types of Energy Cubes or how many dishes he had made.

He had essentially used most of the types of berries from the special rewards he obtained, or ingredients from the plantation, to finally try creating this energy cube that could improve the skill comprehension of Flying-type Pokémon.

For example, the Spicy Pepper Fruit, combined with Moo Moo Milk, created the Spicy Pepper Fruit Milk Salad.

After eating it, Fire-type Pokémon could temporarily increase their skill power.

The Special Scale Fruit and Moo Moo Milk were used to create high-quality Milky Energy Cubes, which could both enhance resistance to status conditions and improve Special Attack Individual Values...

Most of these were energy cubes.

A small portion were food items.

After all, energy cubes were easier to preserve, while for food, Lin Feng would choose to eat it himself, or let Vulpix and Snivy take care of it.

He had recorded the effects of the dishes and the manufacturing process for all the food and energy cubes he created in a notebook, so he could use them in the future.

"Perhaps I should raise some Pokémon that can produce ingredients?"

A day of experimentation, coupled with the significant effect of the A-grade Moo Moo Milk, gave Lin Feng an idea.

His cooking ability could fuse ingredients together to produce incredible effects.

Generally, the higher the grade of the ingredients, the better the results of the cooking.

Moo Moo Milk was a prime example. He could definitely raise other Pokémon that could produce ingredients!

For instance, Mamoswine's milk, Gigalith's rock salt, Shroomish Perfume, Alcremie's cream, Oliva's oil...

There were so many possibilities.

Lin Feng suddenly felt his mind expanding.

"I remember there's a specialized breeding house for Shroomish in Wutong City. I need to find some time to look for it. Gigalith, Oliva... these are Pokémon from the Paldea Region, which might be a bit difficult."

The Paldea Region had a special magnetic field that caused information and transportation to be somewhat blocked, leading to a disconnect with other league regions.

If the Donghua League didn't have them, he would have to go to the Paldea Region in the future to capture these Pokémon.

"I'll see how things go later."

Lin Feng sighed, feeling a bit melancholic.

This feeling of seeing something but being unable to reach it made him uncomfortable.

"I should go check on that Pidgeotto child first."

In the morning, he had left it there to clear weeds (scratch that) to train its skills. His instruction was that if it got tired, it should come back on its own.

"I wonder if it's back yet." Muttering to himself, Lin Feng picked up the Sand Scale Energy Cubes he had made and headed towards the plantation. Upon seeing the Pidgeotto that had returned to patrol the pine trees, he suddenly thought...

He should find a replacement for it.

Otherwise, given Pidgeotto's personality, it might still be guarding the pine tree at night.

Although Pokémon had good physical condition, they shouldn't be pushed like this.

What Pokémon still had energy at night?

This thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind. He then waved at Pidgeotto, "Come here, Pidgeotto."

"Bibi!"

Accompanied by bird chirps, Pidgeotto quickly landed beside Lin Feng.

Seeing its somewhat tired flight posture, Lin Feng couldn't help but say, "You haven't just finished training, have you?"

The current Pidgeotto looked really a bit weak.

"Bibi?" (Yes, I have.)

Pidgeotto replied earnestly.

"You this..." Lin Feng rubbed his forehead, wanting to say something, but seeing the flames flickering in Pidgeotto's eyes, he couldn't open his mouth.

Being away from home must feel bad, right?

Hate was truly the most primal driving force for any creature.

He mumbled for a while before finally uttering, "Work hard, and don't worry too much. I'll help you."

Saying that, he took out the best Sand Scale Energy Cube he had researched all afternoon. "Here, eat this!"

"Bibi~!"

Seeing the food, Pidgeotto's slightly dejected expression finally perked up a bit. It excitedly tore apart the energy cube and swallowed it piece by piece.

But it hadn't eaten for long before a strong sensation surged through it.

It couldn't help but fly into the sky, spreading its wings, as if about to unleash Gale Wings within the plantation.

However, at the last moment, Pidgeotto saw Lin Feng below. It suppressed the urge in its heart and flew outwards.

Immediately after, it flapped its wings like Steel Wings, stirring up explosive gusts of wind. Within the wind, a small Gale Wings gradually began to stir...

[Congratulations to the host for increasing Pidgeotto's Joy Value from 10% to 98%. Reward: 15 bags of Golden Fertilizer, three Rare Candies. Moltres's Divine Feather (A flame feather condensed from Moltres's energy. After absorption, it has the effect of improving the aptitude of Flying-type and Fire-type Pokémon.)]

Lin Feng below watched this with a gratified smile in his eyes.
