The Kitchen
It was close to noon when Lin Feng took out the incomplete Silver Wing and the complete one.
Two silver wings lay in front of him. One was only half intact, while the other was whole.
What they had in common was the dense Flying-type energy surrounding both of them.
The incomplete one, however, was wrapped in an even thicker layer of energy.
"Maybe the complete version is more restrained?" Lin Feng suddenly thought.
Then again, this Silver Wing had been something Mew asked Lugia for, right?
It had even promised that next time it saw Lugia, it would bring something delicious in return.
He could not help wondering if Mew would deliberately go looking for Lugia while roaming around.
"Let's use the incomplete one first."
Just like last time, Lin Feng brought Gardevoir with him.
He did not want a sudden gust of wind to blow through and turn the entire kitchen into chaos.
"Gardevoir?"
(Who is this for?)
Gardevoir tilted her head, looking at the silver wing in his hand.
Lin Feng smiled. "This is for Pidgeot and the others. This material is related to weather. I'm hoping that after eating it, they will be able to control wind better. That way, I'll feel more at ease when they're flying outside."
This had always been one of his worries.
Delivering within Wutong City was fine. The city was small and close to Wutong Town.
If a Pidgey did not return for a while, Lin Feng could always ask Dragonite to search along the route.
In the early days of the delivery service, there had indeed been a few cases where packages went missing.
Most of the time, it was because the Pidgey could not find the address.
Now that they had evolved into Pidgeot, getting lost was no longer an issue.
Sometimes, trainers on the road would notice a Pidgey carrying a box and assume it must be extremely smart.
They would try to challenge it and take it for themselves.
In reality, the Pidgey would completely ignore them.
Most trainers could not keep up with its speed and could only watch helplessly as it flew away.
Lin Feng had heard customers discussing this back at the nursery.
This kind of thing only used to happen within the city. Inter-provincial delivery would be even more complicated.
"I should probably add identity verification. That should stop most trainers from trying to catch them."
He muttered to himself, then dropped the thought.
By now, Gardevoir had already enveloped the entire kitchen in psychic power.
Lin Feng immediately began cooking.
Since there were many Pidgeot, he did not ask each one what it liked.
He simply paired ordinary berries and made energy cubes.
Before long, twenty-one energy cubes were neatly lined up in front of him.
[SSS+ Grade Ocean Current Energy Cube
Created by the Maker using the incomplete Silver Wing as the main ingredient. After consumption, allows control over ocean currents.]
Cooking Effect 1: Weather Control, Wind. Greatly enhances the weather control ability of Flying-type Pokémon.
Cooking Effect 2: Tailwind. Increases flying speed by 50 percent.
Cooking Effect 3: Blessing of the Ocean Current. When above the sea, receives the ocean's protection.
Three cooking effects.
SSS+ rank.
Probably because the Silver Wing was incomplete and had been divided into many fragments.
After all, it was meant to be shared among many Pidgeot.
The main effect was still weather control, only now focused on wind.
This made Lin Feng a little curious.
In the Pokémon world, there was no clear concept of "wind" as a standalone element.
But he was not in a hurry. He would find out soon enough after feeding them.
The side effects included increased flight speed and stronger ocean current effects.
Was this laying the foundation for future cross-sea deliveries?
Lin Feng did not dwell on it. He quickly carried lunch out to the garden.
It was feeding time.
Most of the Pokémon had already gathered there.
They were all waiting eagerly.
"Yiyi!"
"It's here, it's here!"
"Puff…"
"Sticky…"
"Meow…"
"Alright, alright. Don't rush. It's coming."
Lin Feng laughed and, together with Gardevoir, used psychic power to distribute each Pokémon's favorite food.
Sometimes he felt that he and Gardevoir were already fully qualified chefs.
They cooked for so many Pokémon every single day.
Still, seeing everyone eat happily filled him with a deep sense of satisfaction.
"Serp…"
Serperior slithered over and gently nudged him with its tail.
"Alright, alright, alright…"
Lin Feng took out a bottle of Pecha Berry chocolate liqueur and fed it to Serperior.
As expected, Serperior loved chocolate liqueur mixed with crushed Pecha Berries.
Three or four servings was the perfect amount. It would not make it drunk.
Of course, only three or four.
But today, after finishing those, Serperior still seemed unsatisfied and nudged him again.
"Serp…"
"If you keep eating, you might get drunk."
Lin Feng looked at it in surprise.
Serperior's expression instantly turned cold.
"…Eat, eat, eat. Fine. Eat and then go sleep."
With no other choice, Lin Feng brought out more chocolate liqueur.
After a few more mouthfuls, Serperior's cheeks were slightly flushed.
It finally nodded in satisfaction and slithered away.
It was going back to its room to hibernate.
Lin Feng let out a breath of relief and turned toward the Pidgeot, ready to distribute the energy cubes.
Then Alolan Vulpix walked over.
It called out like it was casting a spell,
"Ying ying!"
(Me too, me too!)
Clearly, it had seen him feeding Serperior and wanted in.
"Alright, alright, alright…"
Lin Feng had no choice but to bring out a large bowl of chocolate liqueur again.
Because behind Alolan Vulpix, there were Eevee, Vaporeon, Milotic, Primarina, and even the Hattrem siblings watching.
The temptation was obvious.
After feeding Alolan Vulpix, A-Jiu immediately dragged A-San over.
(●ˇ∀ˇ●)
"Bulbasaur!"
"Bulbasaur…"
"Everyone gets some, everyone gets some…"
Lin Feng could only take out the chocolate liqueur one by one and feed each of them.
Some Pokémon were shy at first.
Milotic and Primarina, for example. They had not evolved very long ago.
Pokémon like Blaziken, Butterfree, and Dragonite accepted it naturally.
They had a rather thick-skinned air about them.
In the end, Lin Feng even walked over to Salamence.
He watched as it reluctantly opened its mouth and fed it a few cups as well.
Finally, after dealing with all the Pokémon, Lin Feng let out a long breath and turned toward the Pidgeot.
Just then, he turned his head.
Gardevoir was standing right behind him.
Lin Feng froze.
"Gardevoir… do you want some too?"
