Could Moo Moo Milk and Shroomish Perfume, combined with other ingredients, be used to create dishes that enhanced Flying-type skills or even all-type skills?

After eating two Rare Candies, Pidgeotto had already become an Elite-stage Pokémon.
He had also received a Defog TM from Lin Feng.
"You can use Gale Wings over an area, then see whether you can layer another Gale Wings within it."
For Pidgeotto's Energy Control, Lin Feng still adopted Servine's Grassy Terrain training method.
"Pidgeotto?!"
Pidgeotto looked doubtful, seemingly asking whether that would work.
"Give it a try. This is your first stage of skill training. Just keep the range smaller."
Pidgeotto nodded, flew into the sky, and began flapping his wings.
Whoosh—!
Explosive gales howled, sweeping up weeds and trees. The first Gale Wings went smoothly enough, but when Pidgeotto tried to layer a second one over it, his energy quickly became chaotic.
The howling wind vortices directly canceled each other out, turning into weak currents of air.
Pidgeotto looked down at Lin Feng from the sky rather timidly.
His comprehension was not as good as Servine's.
He could not achieve this kind of skill layering by himself.
"It's fine. Just practice slowly. There's no rush." Although Lin Feng said that, a thought arose in his heart.
Sure enough, did he still need the power of cooking?
Lost Pidgeotto
Dusk was like a hazy mist, bathing the town in an orange-yellow glow.
In the sky,
an orange-yellow figure flapped his wings tiredly against the setting sun, flying toward a place brimming with life.
In the end, he landed on the branch of a tall pine tree, used his beak to groom his wings, and revealed an indescribable loneliness in his eyes.
After an entire day, Pidgeotto had made no progress at all with the Gale Wings layering his Trainer had mentioned. He had only turned over the ground once.
He did not doubt whether the skill layering his Trainer spoke of was real.
After spending only a few days in the Plantation, Pidgeotto had already realized that this place could increase the speed at which he grew stronger by several times, even dozens of times.
Moreover, the "older sisters" in the Plantation—whether Milotic or Servine—had excellent control over their energy.
Servine in particular expanded the range of her Grassy Terrain every day, and the Grass-type energy within it grew richer as well.
Was he simply too weak?
That thought flashed through Pidgeotto's mind.
But among his kind, he had clearly been one of the earlier ones to learn Gale Wings...
He looked down. Milotic glided through the Clear Water Flow, her radiant figure appearing even more hazy and dreamlike in the reflection on the surface.
Though the Water Reservoir was clearly rather cramped for Milotic, she still happily swam back and forth within it. Every so often, she would poke her head out and look toward the Breeding House.
The Water Reservoir and Milotic.
Pidgeotto withdrew his envious gaze, shook his head, and became resolute once more. He scanned the surroundings, preventing any Rattata from entering the Plantation.
Inside the Breeding House, Lin Feng silently looked at the Energy Cube before him.
A-rank Sand Scale Energy Cube—an Energy Cube made from Sand Scale Fruit, Moo Moo Milk, and Shroomish Perfume. A rather unusual idea. Cooking Effect 1: After consumption, Flying-type Pokémon gain increased skill comprehension ability for a short period. Cooking Effect 2: With long-term consumption, it can greatly increase Speed Individual Value and make bird Pokémon's Feathers tougher.
Lin Feng had spent an entire day in the kitchen.
Over the course of the day, he did not know how many kinds of Energy Cubes or dishes he had made.
He had basically used most of the various berries from the special rewards he had obtained, as well as ingredients from the Plantation, before finally creating this Energy Cube that could improve Flying-type Pokémon's skill comprehension.
For example, Spicy Pepper Fruit combined with Moo Moo Milk could make Spicy Pepper Fruit Milk Salad.
After eating it, Fire-type Pokémon could temporarily increase their Skill Power.
Special Scale Fruit and Moo Moo Milk could be made into high-quality creamy Energy Cubes, which could both increase Status Condition Resistance and improve Special Attack Individual Value...
Most of them were still Energy Cubes.
Only a small portion were actual food.
After all, Energy Cubes were easy to store. As for the food, Lin Feng would either eat it himself or let Vulpix and Servine finish it.
Regardless of their Cooking Effects or the process used to make them, he recorded all the food and Energy Cubes he created in a notebook for future use.
"Perhaps I should raise some Pokémon that can produce ingredients?"
A day of experimentation, combined with the tremendous effects of A-rank Moo Moo Milk, had given Lin Feng an idea.
His cooking power could produce incredible effects by blending ingredients together.
The higher the grade of the ingredients, the better the resulting cooking effects often were.
Moo Moo Milk was an example of that. In that case, he could absolutely raise other Pokémon that produced ingredients!
For example, Mamoswine's goat milk, Gigalith's rock salt, Shroomish Perfume's perfume, Alcremie's cream, Arboliva's oil...
There were simply too many possibilities.
Lin Feng suddenly felt as though his mind had been opened up.
"I remember there's a dedicated Breeding House for Shroomish Perfume in Wutong City. I'll have to look for one when I get the chance. Gigalith, Arboliva... those are Pokémon from the Paldea Region. That's going to be troublesome."
The Paldea Region had a special magnetic field. Because of it, information and transportation within the region were somewhat obstructed, so it had always been rather disconnected from the other League regions.
If the Donghua League did not have them, then if he wanted to catch those Pokémon in the future, he could only go to the Paldea Region.
"I'll see how things go later."
Lin Feng sighed, feeling somewhat melancholy.
The feeling of being able to see something but not reach it made him uncomfortable.
"I should check on Pidgeotto first."
That morning, he had left Pidgeotto there to clear weeds—scratch that, train his skills—and told him to come back whenever he got tired.
"I wonder whether he's back yet." Muttering to himself, Lin Feng picked up the Sand Scale Energy Cubes he had made and headed toward the Plantation. When he saw Pidgeotto back on the pine tree, keeping watch, a thought suddenly occurred to him...
He should find someone to take Pidgeotto's shift.
Otherwise, with Pidgeotto's personality, he might still be guarding the pine tree at night.
Pokémon had strong constitutions, but they could not be pushed like that.
What Pokémon would still have energy at night?
The thought flashed through Lin Feng's mind. Then he waved at Pidgeotto. "Come here, Pidgeotto."
"Pidgeotto!"
With a chirp, Pidgeotto quickly landed beside Lin Feng.
Seeing his somewhat tired flying posture, Lin Feng could not help asking, "Don't tell me you just finished training?"
Pidgeotto really did look a little unsteady right now.
"Pidgeotto?" (Yes.)
Pidgeotto answered seriously.
"You..." Lin Feng rubbed his forehead. He wanted to say something, but when he saw the fire burning in Pidgeotto's eyes, he could not bring himself to speak.
Being forced to leave home must not have felt good, right?
Hatred truly was the most primal driving force for any creature.
His lips moved for a long while before he finally managed to say, "Work hard, but don't worry too much. I'll help you."
As he spoke, he took out the best Sand Scale Energy Cube he had developed after an afternoon of research. "Here, eat this!"
"Pidgeotto~!"
At the sight of food, Pidgeotto's somewhat dejected expression finally brightened. Excitedly, he tore the Energy Cube apart and swallowed it piece by piece.
But before he had eaten much, an intense feeling surged up within him.
He could not help flying into the sky and spreading his wings, seemingly about to use Gale Wings within the Plantation.
But at the last moment, Pidgeotto saw Lin Feng below. He forcibly suppressed the stirring in his heart and flew outside.
Immediately afterward, he swept his Steel Wing-like wings, whipping up an explosive gale. Within that gale, another smaller Gale Wings gradually began to rise...
Congratulations to the host for raising Pidgeotto's Joy Value from 10% to 98%. Reward: 15 bags of Kingkor, three Rare Candies, and Moltres's Divine Feather. (A Flame Feather condensed from Moltres's energy. After absorption, it can improve the aptitude of Flying-type Pokémon and Fire-type Pokémon.)
Seeing this, Lin Feng revealed a gratified smile.
