Chapter Summaries

Latias visited Lin Feng after Mew left Alto Mare, hoping to find the delicious food Mew had told her about. Lin Feng welcomed her and began preparing wine and a meal, attracting several hungry Pokémon to the kitchen.

• Gardevoir and Indeedee sister brought Latias, disguised as Kanon, to find Lin Feng and his food.
• Lin Feng learned from Latias’s gestures that Mew had left Alto Mare without saying where it was going.
• Latias transformed back into her original form, and Lin Feng offered to make her Honey Grape Fruit Wine and other dishes.
• Lin Feng prepared wine, grilled meat, dumplings, dried fruit, and soup with the help of his Psychic Power.
• Blaziken, Dragonite, Salamence, and Goodra gathered in the kitchen after smelling the food and wine.

Lin Feng served the Pokémon a meal and began planning to hire Latias to help at the Breeding House. Latias worried that her visit was ending and that she would lose access to his food, while Lin Feng regretted that she might leave before he could cook again.

• Lin Feng finished cooking and brought the Pokémon their food and drinks, including Sober Honey Grape Fruit Wine for Serperior.
• Latias ate eagerly, using her hands to pick up the food and drinking several cups of wine.
• Lin Feng realized Latias might be useful as an Energy Cube maker and planned to have her travel between his home and the Water Capital through the Distortion World.
• Lin Feng asked Latias how long she planned to stay, and she feared this might be her last meal before returning to the Water Capital.
• Latias sadly nodded that she would leave soon, and Lin Feng lamented that he had planned to cook more food that night.

Lin Feng arranged for Latias to help him in exchange for daily food and a portion to take home to its brother. With Giratina’s help, he tested whether Latias could commute through the Distortion World and found its home was only a short trip away.

• Lin Feng told Latias it could earn food by helping him, including an extra portion for its brother, and promised to find a way to make the arrangement practical.
• Lin Feng took Latias to the water reservoir and asked Giratina to use the Distortion World to find Latias’s home.
• After entering the Distortion World, Latias used Dream Transfer to locate its brother, and Giratina guided them to the destination in under five minutes.
• Giratina explained that it could quickly reach places with mirrored surfaces in the real world, then opened a passage for Lin Feng and Latias.
• Lin Feng led Latias through the passage toward its home, pleased that the short journey made his daily commuting plan feasible.

Lin Feng brought Latias to Water City and offered her a job making food, while she decided to work for him despite her brother Latios’s objections. On February 14th, Neighbor Breeder House quietly opened, and its waiting customers found the shop counters empty of Energy Cubes.

• Latias returned to the Underground Garden and told Latios that Lin Feng had offered her food in exchange for helping him.
• Latios refused to let Latias work for Lin Feng, but she left anyway and returned to bring Lin Feng into the Distortion World.
• Lin Feng agreed to have Gardevoir teach Latias to make Energy Cubes and other food.
• Neighbor Breeder House opened quietly on February 14th, and customers hurried inside to find no Energy Cubes on the counters.

Lin Feng sold Latias’s first Energy Cubes at the Breeding House and saw that customers and their Pokémon enjoyed them. Latias was pleased with the response, and Lin Feng encouraged her to keep training with Gardevoir as he checked her status.

• Lin Feng explained that the inexpensive Oran Berry Energy Cubes were made by a beginner, and customers praised him and asked to become his apprentices.
• Customers gave samples to their Butterfree, Heracross, and Pidgeotto, which enjoyed the Energy Cubes.
• Lin Feng left the Breeding House to Indeedee Brother and avoided promoting the cubes because he worried their appearance might bring Latias bad reviews.
• Lin Feng found Latias peeking around the back door, and she told him her brother Latios had eaten her food and only warned her to be careful.
• Lin Feng told Latias to study with Gardevoir and improve her Energy Control, and Latias happily went back to work.
• Lin Feng checked Latias’s status panel, which showed her Joy Value and Friendship at 70.

As spring arrived at the Neighbor Breeder House, Lin Feng discovered that one of his male Combee had changed into a female and evolved into Vespiquen, whose hive was already producing new Combee. Meanwhile, the Pokémon prepared the garden for the growing colony, while Alolan Ninetales and Eevee trained with Dragonite and Goodra to challenge Rayquaza.

• Word spread that the Neighbor Breeder House was open, bringing more customers for Energy Cubes and the Sky Challenge and making Wutong Town busier.
• Lin Feng found that one of his five Combee had changed sex and evolved into Vespiquen after receiving nectar from the others.
• Vespiquen showed Lin Feng that new Combee were developing in her hive, prompting him to expand the flower gardens along Bluestone Path.
• Tsareena helped fill out the garden with flowers while Bounsweet cheerfully spent time with her mother.
• Alolan Ninetales and Eevee went outside to train for their goal of challenging Rayquaza, with Dragonite as their opponent and Goodra as their teammate.

After seeing Alolan Ninetales’s strength, Dragonite realized Lin Feng’s food could help it grow stronger but struggled to ask for special treatment. Dragonite persuaded it to prepare for another attack from the bad guys, leaving it uncertain but listening.

• Dragonite was shocked that Alolan Ninetales’s Dragon Pulse barely hurt it while Blizzard injured it badly.
• Dragonite suspected Lin Feng’s special food had made Alolan Ninetales so strong and wanted to become stronger too, but could not bring itself to ask.
• Lin Feng waited for Dragonite to speak up and considered using Lugia’s Silver Feather to make food for the two Dragonite.
• Lin Feng ordered Alolan Ninetales and the Eevees to bathe, then took Alolan Ninetales away after shrinking it with a Transformation Energy Cube.
• Dragonite coaxed the younger Dragonite to prepare for the bad guys possibly coming to capture them again, but the younger Dragonite still felt unsure.

After the three Eevees asked about evolving, Lin Feng promised they could try that night. Dragonite used Dragonite to ask Lin Feng for a way to grow stronger, and Lin Feng realized the request was tied to Dragonite's desire for revenge.

• Ajiu asked Lin Feng when it could evolve, and he told the three Eevees they could try that night.
• Dragonite prompted Dragonite to ask Lin Feng how to become stronger, but Dragonite could not explain why.
• Lin Feng checked both Dragonite's and Dragonite's status and noted how their Friendship had improved.
• Lin Feng asked Dragonite whether it wanted to grow stronger to get revenge and challenged it about whether it planned to leave afterward.

Lin Feng apologized to Dragonite after realizing his stern words had made it fear he would abandon it after it got revenge. He promised to make special dishes for Dragonite and Dragonite, then discussed the misunderstanding with Gardevoir in the kitchen.

• Lin Feng realized Dragonite had asked Dragonite to speak for it because it was embarrassed to request help growing stronger, and he apologized for implying it should leave.
• Dragonite told Lin Feng it would not seek revenge, fearing that he would no longer want it afterward.
• Lin Feng clarified that he was upset about Dragonite using Dragonite to convey its request, not about its desire for revenge, and promised special dishes for both Pokémon.
• Dragonite flew to Dragonite and comforted it, while Dragonite agreed despite not fully understanding.
• Lin Feng told Gardevoir what had happened, reflected on how distant he had become from Dragonite, and joined Gardevoir and Latias in making Energy Cubes.

Lin Feng prepared an Ocean Current Hot Pot with Lugia’s Silver Feather for Dragonite and the other dragon, creating different effects in each half of the pot. He assigned the two dragons to separate sides and they began eating, though the other dragon’s mouth was already red from the spicy broth.

• Lin Feng decided to use the Silver Feather to make a Mandarin Fish Maw Hot Pot for Dragonite and the other dragon.
• Lin Feng cooked the Silver Feather powder with lard, then prepared vegetables, meats, sauces, and a pot for the meal.
• Lin Feng finished the Ocean Current Hot Pot, whose effects included enhanced weather control, water affinity, reduced stamina costs, or the ability to stir up winds and currents at sea.
• Lin Feng told Dragonite to eat from one side and the other dragon to eat from the red side.
• Dragonite and the other dragon began eating the hot pot, and the other dragon’s mouth reddened from the spicy broth.

Lin Feng’s two Dragonite grew stronger after eating his spicy hot pot, and he promised to help them confront Team Rocket once their energy stabilized. That night, Ajiu decided to evolve alongside the other Eevees despite not knowing what Sylveon looked like.

• Lin Feng checked the Dragonite’s status and found that both their aptitudes had reached gold and their strength was still rising.
• Lin Feng promised the Dragonite he would go with it to face Team Rocket after its energy stabilized, and the other Dragonite eagerly joined in wanting revenge.
• Lin Feng let the two Dragonite fly over the sea to test their new strength.
• After dinner, the Eevees gathered around Lin Feng, eager to evolve, while Ajiu hesitated because it had never seen Sylveon.
• Ajiu chose to evolve, and Lin Feng asked if it was sure.

Lin Feng helped Asan, Awu, and Ajiu evolve into Leafeon, Umbreon, and Sylveon, then checked their new forms and abilities. Sylveon reached maximum Friendship and earned Lin Feng a reward connected to Xerneas.

• Lin Feng gave Asan a Leaf Stone and removed the Everstones from all three Eevee, triggering their evolutions.
• Asan evolved into Leafeon, Awu into Umbreon, and Ajiu into Sylveon.
• Lin Feng checked Sylveon's information and received Xerneas's Life Leaf when her Friendship reached 100.
• Ajiu tested her new ribbons by wrapping them around Lin Feng's hand, and Lin Feng stroked her new fur.
• Lin Feng checked Awu's and Asan's information and saw that Asan had the highest strength and aptitude.

Lin Feng celebrated the three Eevee’s evolutions, weighed them alongside Alolan Ninetales, and checked Growlithe’s progress. He considered his next plans, including investigating Team Rocket’s research institute and checking on Mew at the World Tree, while Serperior showed little interest in going.

• Lin Feng inspected the evolved Eevee and found that Asan had reached Golden Aptitude, then weighed them and Alolan Ninetales.
• Growlithe greeted Lin Feng and the evolved Eevee, and Lin Feng checked its status before deciding it needed more time to evolve.
• The Eevee celebrated their first day after evolving by playing on Lin Feng’s bed and watching anime with Alolan Ninetales and Rotom.
• Lin Feng asked Serperior when it wanted to visit the World Tree, but Serperior showed little interest.
• Lin Feng planned to ask Mewtwo for the location of Team Rocket’s Pokémon research institute and bring Mewtwo, Giratina, and possibly Mew to help destroy it.
• Lin Feng worried that Mew had not returned from the World Tree, though he suspected it was playing with Jirachi, and he remembered he also had to deal with Chansey.

Lin Feng wondered when Chansey would hatch, but his Pokémon interrupted him with a recap of their show. He then discovered that Leafeon admired Serperior and wanted to learn from her, leaving Serperior to accept the eager student.

• Lin Feng looked up when Lucky Incense would mature and considered messaging Larvitar's trainer.
• Alolan Ninetales and the Eevees excitedly told Lin Feng how Captain Pikachu revealed his identity and saved the village.
• Asan approached Serperior shyly, and Lin Feng wondered whether Leafeon had fallen for her.
• Lin Feng realized Leafeon admired Serperior and wanted to learn from her.
• Lin Feng set Leafeon down, and Serperior gently encouraged her to work hard.

Greedent risked crossing the river to steal Oran Berries from Lin Feng’s orchard, but Pidgeot caught it and brought it to Lin Feng. After Lin Feng released it, Greedent tried to flee and was caught again with his Psychic Power.

• Meowth, Greedent, Chinchou, and Ponyta watched the orchard from across the river, and Greedent decided to sneak in for Berries.
• Greedent crossed the river, squeezed through a gap in the brambles, and stuffed itself with Oran Berries.
• Pidgeot caught Greedent in the orchard and brought it to Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng told Pidgeot to release Greedent, but Greedent immediately tried to escape through the trees.
• Lin Feng used his Psychic Power to pull Greedent back, leaving it despairing as it remembered the powerful Pokémon around him.

• Greedent feared Lin Feng would eat him but refused to regret stealing berries.
• Lin Feng reassured Greedent that he would not hurt him and offered berries as payment for harvesting fruit.
• Greedent agreed to pick berries from two trees to earn the five Oran Berries he had stolen, and Lin Feng showed him how.
• Across the river, Meowth, Chinchou, and Ponyta worried Greedent had been caught; Ponyta entered the water to find him.
• Ponyta met Greedent swimming back with berries and carried him to the others, where Meowth was amazed to see him return.

Greedent brought Ponyta, Chinchou, Meowth, and Furret to Lin Feng’s berry orchard so they could earn berries picking fruit. Chinchou fled when the group reached the busy town, leaving Greedent, Ponyta, Meowth, and Furret with Lin Feng.

• Greedent shared an Oran Berry with Ponyta, then promised Meowth and Chinchou it would take them berry-picking the next day.
• Greedent remembered Lin Feng’s offer to reward it with two Oran Berries for each suitable Pokémon it brought to the orchard.
• Lin Feng waited at the berry orchard and sensed Greedent arriving with Ponyta, Chinchou, Meowth, and Furret.
• Greedent led the nervous Pokémon across the bridge and through town, where the crowd and a diving Pidgeot frightened them.
• Greedent ran to greet Lin Feng, but Chinchou panicked and fled while Meowth, Ponyta, and Furret stayed.

Lin Feng organized Berry picking, praised Latias’s Energy Cube work, and watched his Pokémon settle into their routines. On March 5, he discovered that two Combee in the garden were secretly slacking off and used Eye of Investigation on them, then froze at the results.

• Lin Feng recalled planting a mutated Peachy Fruit seed that could grow into a tree without limit and had Serperior nurture it.

Mew gave Lin Feng an enormous SSS-class Fire Stone, which he decided Blaziken could use as a bed, and the Breeding House’s growing business prompted him to plan a larger sales building and a Battle Arena. By March 12, business had settled into a steady rhythm, the Pidgeots were busy delivering orders, and Growlithe cheerfully greeted customers at the entrance.
