In Li Wei's Workshop.
Because of her mother, Saiko, Dawn had settled on her dream at a very young age.
She wanted to be just like her mom,
and become a top Coordinator!
But Dawn had no idea how to become a top Coordinator, or what she needed to learn and master.
Dawn had once asked her mom,
but Saiko hadn't answered her question. She had simply told her, "You'll understand once you set off on your journey and have Pokémon of your own."
Unlike Dawn, who had such a clear dream,
Saiko had never demanded that her daughter follow in her footsteps.
In fact, whether Dawn could stick with the path of a Coordinator was still very much an open question.
If Dawn truly disliked that path, Saiko had no intention of forcing her.
Before this, Dawn hadn't had a clear understanding of Pokémon Breeders or Trainers. She had always thought all she needed to do was set off on a journey with her Pokémon.
Her family would cover her travel expenses, and Pokémon Centers were free. In a way, the Pokémon League had already paved the road for novice Trainers...
Now, Dawn quietly watched Shiyin finish making Poffins, her eyes wide the entire time, as though she wanted to etch every movement into her mind.
Dawn seemed to be starting to understand.
Poffins were so fascinating!
Choosing which Berries to use was a whole field of study.
Operating the equipment was another.
Controlling the Mixer's speed, managing the Oven's temperature-the steps also demanded particular precision.
The batter couldn't be overmixed, and each mold had to hold exactly the right amount.
Dawn had witnessed something truly magical.
They were clearly just ordinary Berries, flour, and Moomoo Milk, yet by strictly following these methods, they could ultimately become Rich Poffins
